Chapter 226: Riots and Ambition Two in One Chapter
(PS: The body is not very comfortable, two in one.) )
Cold, the noisy hall immediately cooled down.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of embarrassment. It seems that this is really the case, but who told her not to make it clear beforehand!
They selectively ignored their previous arrogant posture of superiority, as well as Kong Zhongyi's cold eyes when he was in trouble with Zhu Yuyan.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and they all looked at Kong Zhongyi, making the other party's old face red.
It's just that in the face of everyone's silent accusations, Kong Zhongyi didn't dare to refute at all except for silently hanging his head and shrinking his head. Whoever let things get messed up is ninety percent responsible.
Seeing this, the head of the Kong family sighed slightly.
Now is not the time to continue infighting, otherwise the thousand-year-old foundation of the Kong family will really be over.
He coughed lightly and said, "Although there was a little accident, this matter is not without room for maneuver. Since the First Emperor sent Zhu Yuyan to send this news, he naturally would not be without plans. Our previous attitude was a little bit off, but as long as our next sincerity was enough, I think the First Emperor would not care about us.
And everything is just speculation at the moment, and in my opinion, we should gather all the relevant information as soon as possible. The first is to determine the authenticity of this matter. The second is to determine the purpose of the first emperor, and then make up for today's mistakes on the basis of the confirmation of the news. ”
Hearing this, the elders of all the clans nodded their heads and exclaimed, "What the head of the family said is very true. ”
Outside Kong's house.
"What, let's just leave?" Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Zhu Yuyan in front of her, who ordered her and the others to give up the task and leave directly, and was stunned, full of surprise and disbelief.
Zhu Yuyan's expression was indifferent, and she glanced at a few people: "You guys, don't you understand the words of the deity?" ”
"No, it's not. But we're leaving, how should Your Majesty explain it? Bai Xiaoxiao and the others wanted to cry without tears, looking at Zhu Yuyan with an indifferent expression, their hearts were about to collapse.
His Majesty has ordered that Jin Yiwei must get all the books collected by the Kong family, especially those ancient and unique fragments, and he must get his hands on them. In addition, there are also handwritten drafts left by Confucius sages, as well as relics of Confucian giants such as Mencius, etc., and they are instructed to keep them properly.
If you leave by yourself and the others, you won't be able to explain it after you go back!
Zhu Yuyan, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is also a master of the half-step powerful realm, and may not be severely punished by His Majesty. But I'm afraid that I and the others will not be so lucky, but even if they don't die afterwards, they will lose a layer of skin.
"After I go back, I will naturally explain it to Your Majesty." Zhu Yuyan said indifferently.
When several people heard this, although they were still a little unwilling and worried, they could only nod helplessly. Without Zhu Yuyan's help, a few of them really didn't dare to be strong against the Kong family.
"If you want to capture the old people, the commander is really a good means, but I wish the commander that he is not worried that the Kong family will not take the bait?" Huang Yueying appeared beside Zhu Yuyan silently, and only the two of them could hear the sound like a mosquito and a fly.
"They will definitely take the bait, and they will give His Majesty what he needs with both hands. Because they can't afford to gamble, and they don't dare to gamble. Even if there was only a 1 in 10,000 chance, they didn't dare to risk it. Zhu Yuyan raised her head and stared at the sky, and there was a faint mockery on the corner of her mouth.
With Zhu Yuyan's mental cultivation, she naturally wouldn't really be angry about that little thing about the Kong family. The reason why she deliberately took the opportunity to leave was to change from passive to active, so that the people of the Kong family would take the initiative to send them to the door to be slaughtered.
If not, how can you deter other great sects and make the next task easier?
Huang Yueying understood Zhu Yuyan's thoughts, but she still had some small worries in her heart. But at this point, she can only hope that Zhu Yuyan's plan is effective.
"Where do we go next?" Huang Yueying pondered for a while and asked.
"Go to Jiangnan to meet those young talents, as well as the seeds personally selected by His Majesty, and then wait for news from the Kong family." Zhu Yuyan's words were plain, revealing a strong sense of confidence.
Seeing that she was so confident, Huang Yueying shook her head helplessly and said no more.
A few days later, the divine capital was Luoyang.
When the Jinyi guard retreated, and the news that the Kong family was safe and sound, it suddenly plunged the already uncalm gods into an undercurrent.
In a teahouse, several tea drinkers talk about what is now popular.
"Did you hear that Jin Yiwei was deflated in Kong's house, and even Zhu Yuyan fled in embarrassment?"
"What, it can't be. Zhu Yuyan is a master at the level of a great grandmaster, and with the help of countless masters of Jinyiwei, he will run away in embarrassment, and the Kong family really dares to disobey? ”
"Isn't it, in addition to the Kong family being blocked for two days, the Jinyi guard didn't even enter the door of the Kong family. You say that they are not called running away in embarrassment, so what is running away in embarrassment? ”
"Could it be that those Confucian people persecuted Your Majesty?"
"Shhhh What a person Your Majesty is, how can he be afraid of those little Confucian students? ”
"Hmph, my Confucianism is doing righteous things, and doing things for the country and the people. If you wantonly slander us so much, could it be that you are also the traitorous party of Jinyiwei? A few people were chatting, and a plainly dressed Confucian suddenly stood up, stared at several people with wide eyes, and shouted.
When several people saw him dressed in Confucian clothes and claiming to be a disciple of Confucianism, they couldn't help but bow their heads slightly, and they didn't dare to speak again.
Seeing a few people like this, the Confucian shook his sleeves angrily, turned around and left the place, as if he disdained to be in the company of the traitors of the Jinyi Guard.
"Bah, since these Confucian scholars heard the news from the north, they were like taking aphrodisiacs, seeing who bites whom. The bullshit Confucian is not a poor ghost, pretending to be a big-tailed wolf. A tea guest took a sip of dissatisfaction and cursed.
"Shhhhhhh Now those Confucian scholars are not easy to get along, and they all seem to have won a battle. I heard that yesterday some people also listed the four traitorous ministers of the current dynasty, as well as the ten major dereliction of duty of His Majesty, hoping to make His Majesty issue an edict and return the world to a prosperous world. ”
"Hey, they're crazy!" The tea guest exclaimed with disbelief on his face.
Luoyang, the meeting place of the Ram School.
"Haha, happy, happy. Now that Jinyiwei has retreated from Qufu, the Confucian family is safe and sound, and our Confucianism has won a brilliant victory. The white-haired Lu Daru was full of red light and shouted excitedly.
"Brother Lu, don't be happy too early, it's still too early to say victory. The Guliang School stayed out of the way this time, and I always felt that something was not right. Zhang Daru frowned and said in a low voice.
"Brother Zhang, you're just too careful. Gu Liang's people blindly cling to power, but they are just a group of spineless royal lackeys. Although it is somewhat surprising that they did not dare to participate in this protest, it is reasonable to think about it. What we need to do now is to completely eliminate Confucianism when its popularity plummets, and even when it is disdained by Confucian students everywhere, so as not to give them a chance to come back from the dead! ”
Lu Daru smiled all over his face, and there was a domineering attitude of scolding Fang Xuan when he spoke.
He can't be unhappy, and he can't be unhappy. This time, the protest group led by the Ram School successfully made the First Emperor make concessions to protect the Confucian family, the descendant of the sage, which can be said to have been out of the limelight and exploded its prestige.
Today's actions alone are enough to move the world and impress everyone.
"What Master Lu said is very true, at this time, Gu Liang was abandoned by the Confucian students in the world because of a thought, and it is a good time for us to eliminate Gu Liang and unify Confucianism. This time, we must not make the same mistakes as before, and letting the tiger return to the mountains will surely lead to future troubles. A middle-aged Confucian student was full of approval, and his words were a little excited.
"What Liu Sheng said is very true, at this time, my Ram School is as powerful as the sky among Confucian scholars all over the world, and it is a good time to unify Confucianism and end the chaos. Confucianism has one voice, and it is enough. ”
"This!" Zhang Daru's face was full of shock, and he muttered a few times hesitantly, some of which were speechless.
Although he knew the ambitions of Lu Daru and the others, he didn't expect that they not only wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the Guliang School, but also wanted to completely end the chaotic era of Confucianism and become the only voice of Confucianism!
Since Confucius founded Confucianism and compiled many Confucian classics through the hands of his later disciples, countless schools of thought have emerged within Confucianism because of different personal interpretations. These genres are big or small, the big ones are like rams and Gu Liang, and they have supporters all over the world, and they once became the protagonists of the court. And some small schools of Confucianism, perhaps even with only a few dozen people, spread in one county and one prefecture.
Over the past thousand years, many Confucian schools have died out, but no one has ever really ended the chaos of Confucianism and become the only voice within Confucianism!
It's not that they don't want to, it's that the authorities won't support it, and the Kong family won't support it.
When Gu Liang was the most powerful, he completely drove the Ram School out of the court, and even exiled Dong Zhongshu to the frontier. But even so, they could not be the only voice of Confucianism. Because Confucianism is too big, no one wants to see a Confucianism with a voice.
Those in power will not, and neither will the Confucian family!
"Brother Lu, it's a good idea to take the opportunity to eliminate Gu Liang. But is there some unification of Confucianism? Zhang Daru was uneasy and persuaded him.
Lu Daru's eyes flashed with coldness, and he interrupted: "This seat already has a plan for this matter, and Brother Zhang should not persuade him again." In the past few days, there have been rumors in the city about the four traitorous ministers of the court, as well as the ten major crimes of His Majesty. You said that Your Majesty would issue an edict to punish the traitors of the four great sons and hundreds of schools. ”
When Lu Daru said this, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned to reveal a faint smile, and his eyes shrunk a little more playfully.
Zhang Daru's brows furrowed, his pupils instantly constricted, and he couldn't help but gasp in his heart.
Although he heard about it, he never expected that it would be from Lu Daru. To do so is to declare war on the First Emperor. Isn't he afraid, in case the First Emperor gets angry, the time comes!
Zhang Daru hurriedly shook his head: "With Your Majesty's character, I will definitely not agree to this." Brother Lu's move is not afraid of angering His Majesty and causing trouble to my Ram School. ”
"I heard that since Jin Yiwei left Qufu, he has gone to the land of Jiangnan, and not long ago, he gave an ultimatum to all the sect families in Jiangnan, asking all sect families to go to Jiankang in a month."
Lu Daru didn't answer directly, and changed the topic: "You said that Jinyiwei first wanted to attack the Kong family, and now he has issued an ultimatum to all the major sect families in the world. If our Ram School can stop Jinyiwei's actions again, how will the families of the world's major sects view my Ram School, and how will the Confucian students in the world view my Ram School? ”
Zhang Daru was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of sudden color.
He finally understood Lu Daru's purpose, whether it was the so-called cleanup of the four traitorous ministers in the court, or the ten major crimes of the first emperor, and let him issue an edict, all of which were things to cover up people's ears and eyes. No, these were all bargaining chips he wanted to bargain with the First Emperor. When the time comes, take advantage of the situation and retreat to the next best thing, and put forward the real goal of stopping Jinyiwei's action, there will be enough room for mitigation.
This old guy has lived for hundreds of years, and he really is not a good person.
However, this matter is still too risky, stepping on the face of the First Emperor to add glory to the Ram School, I am afraid that playing with fire and self-immolation will be troublesome.
Zhang Daru was uneasy in his heart, but when he saw the excitement of several other people, he could only sigh secretly. Ever since the news of Jinyiwei's retreat from the Confucian family came, the Confucian disciples in the world have been faintly crazy. Let's hope nothing happens.
With the brief lull, a large number of Confucian disciples who petitioned to sanction Jinyiwei appeared again in front of the palace. And with the experience of the victory of the Confucian family, the momentum this time was even greater, and even affected the civil and military officials for a time.
Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study.
Wu Meiniang's face was full of anger, and she said angrily: "These damn Confucian children, one by one, don't want to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, but they make trouble in front of the palace every day, which is really hateful. ”
"It's just a trivial matter, why should Ruiguo be angry for them." Mo Chen raised his head from the recital sent by Huang Yueying, gave Wu Meiniang a gentle smile, and comforted.
The little trick of Confucianism can't hide Mo Chen's eyeliner at all. He even knew exactly who the Ram School had met, what they had eaten and what they had bought. If it weren't for the intention of killing chickens and monkeys, deterring some guys who are not very peaceful, and making final preparations for fighting against the gods, these jumping clowns would have already been cleaned up by Mo Chen.
"The concubine is just because Brother Mo is not worthy, these people are too hateful." Wu Meiniang pursed her pink cherry lips and hummed with a little dissatisfaction: "The Ram School, I've only heard of their names before, but I didn't expect it to be so annoying." If there is an opportunity in the future, they will definitely be cleaned up, and Gu Liang and those people are more obedient in comparison. ”
Mo Chen shook his head amusedly, without rebuttal or support.
Confucianism has been inherited for thousands of years, and in the vast history, there have been too many changes in the classical teachings.
In normal history, if Confucianism before the Tang Dynasty was full of blood and arrogance, Confucianism in later generations completely discarded face and became a tool in the hands of rulers, outright rotten Confucianism.
Of course, as the beneficiary and ruler of the feudal system, Mo Chen is no longer a reckless young man, and he does not have much emotion about it. Whether it is rotten Confucianism or a backbone Confucianism, only Confucianism that can be used by me is a useful Confucianism. If they can't be used by me, there's no point in keeping them.
Calculating the time, the Kong family should have already made a decision.
Just when Mo Chen was thinking about when to start the tunnel fire plan, a hurried voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, there are Confucian students attacking the Tower of Babel, and the defending forbidden army is about to be unable to stop it." ”
