Chapter 625: Kill a Hundred and Make an Example

Zhou Lifan was suddenly pushed to the cusp, and at this time, everyone looked at him coldly, speculating about his thoughts.

Will this person fight with reason? Is it to break the jar and break it, or to avoid the important and light, and willingly confess the guilt and surrender the law.

In fact, the most important thing in today's court discussion is Zhou Lifan's attitude, and now, this Zhou Lifan has fallen to the ground and choked up: "Weichen Zhou Lifan, the crime deserves death!"

When the words fell, many people couldn't help laughing, this week Lifan's confession, in fact, had long been expected by everyone, in today's current situation, the more he denies it in every possible way, for Zhou Lifan, the risk of dying is too great, it is better to simply admit an innocuous crime.

The crown prince Zhu Gaochi listened, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he always thought that Zhou Lifan was Zhao Wang's party, and now Zhou Lifan's confession is undoubtedly a great blow to King Zhao and Hao Fenglou.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Gaosui's face was indeed a little unsightly, but when Zhu Gaochi looked at Hao Fenglou, he saw that Hao Fenglou's face was sinking like water, his eyes happened to be intertwined with Zhu Gaochi, and Hao Fenglou smiled at him.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but be slightly stunned in his heart, did this Hao Fenglou pretend to be calm because of his suspicions, or did he have other plans and schemes.

Hao Fenglou's mood was actually not affected by Zhou Lifan, because he knew in his heart that Zhou Lifan's abacus was wrong, and he thought that as long as he admitted to dereliction of duty, he could be dismissed lightly, but he never expected that this matter seemed to be a dispute but the fundamental problem was a party struggle and a conflict of interests, and this fundamental conflict of interest came from the conflict of interests between the traditional landlords and gentry and the emerging merchant eunuchs. For the traditional families and squires, it was about financial resources. Maybe they are like giants, but it is precisely because of this science that they have the support of the imperial court. They are so noble, and they have countless privileges in all aspects, and these privileges are not a little bit of the new merchants, even if the merchants have more money, in front of the squire, it is not worth mentioning. Thus for them. This Chen Xue, who advocates the equality of scholars and merchants, must be severely stopped, Chen Xue must become a pseudo-school, and the government must confiscate it. The people involved must also be severely punished, Xing Bu's fault is soft-hearted, if this time. Don't clean up Zhou Lifan ruthlessly. So how to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, how to let the world know, even if it is soft on Chen Xuexin, it is a big mistake.

Only by completely defeating Zhou Lifan can the people of the world know that any neglect of Chen Xue will never be tolerated, even if it is just a trace of sympathy.

On the other hand, those tycoons or eunuchs who have received great benefits from business. They already have enough net worth, and it is important to accumulate greater wealth. But Shen Wansan's experience is in front of him, don't look at their surface scenery, beautiful wives and concubines, servants like clouds, but in their hearts, there is also an extreme sense of insecurity, even if you have wealth through the sky, but often, a local parent, and even a small official can teach his family to be ruined in a thought, they can have today, it is dependent on the Hao family, but the Hao family may not be able to shelter them for a lifetime, so they support Chen Xue, and spare no effort to give great support, which has become a critical practical problem for them.

Zhou Lifan is a chess piece among such two major interest groups, he wants to calm things down, and wants to get out of the way, but he forgets that the old learners need to make an example, and the new learners will never let go of this shield, swaying left and right, only ten thousand deaths.

Sure enough, when Zhou Lifan confessed immediately, someone stood up, and it was Hu Jinxian, the imperial historian, who stood up, this benevolent brother did not have an obvious official position in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but he was a well-known figure who was particularly able to fight. Hu Jinxian sneered: "Your Majesty, it is the duty of Weichen to speak up, Zhou Lifan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, claims to be an occasional negligent in his duties, but in Weichen's opinion, he is clearly covering his henchmen, that Chen Xue has been prosperous since he has been disturbing the public hearing with gossip, and he is bribing the ministers everywhere, so that these people do not open their eyes, so that this poison is a disaster, but no one notices it, and no one dares to care, Zhou Lifan is the secretary of the Criminal Department, responsible for the affairs of Xing Prison in the world, why did he not know it in advance, Weichen was foolish, It's not that he doesn't know, it's just that he knows and doesn't report it, so that today, such incidents have occurred, rumors are spreading, and the world is looking sideways. His Majesty, the micro-ministers are dead, but they have to say a word, all dynasties, all those who govern the country, are to educate first, and education is successful, then the world is determined. If the imperial court does not strictly ban it, arrest the criminal officials and traitors who shield Chen Xue, destroy the poisonous academy, and burn the books of the bad people's hearts, once the people's hearts are broken, it is not said that it is the great rule of the world, even if you want the world to be peaceful, it is also wishful thinking. Therefore, to ban Chen Xue, the only way to first govern those officials who protect him, this Zhou Lifan, is one of them, he is thanks to His Majesty Xià Zede, Xu Yishang Shu's high position, not only do not know the Entu, but collude with the pseudo-academic traitorous party, this is a big disrespect and disloyalty. ”

His words were full of gunpowder, and he clearly wanted to force people to die, a big disrespect and disloyalty was enough to make Zhou Lifan die without a place to be buried.

When his words fell, he was immediately echoed by many people, some people nodded again and again, and some people stood up, beating their chests and saying: "What Hu Yushi said is very true, Weichen seconded it, Zhou Lifan is a disaster to the country, and his crime should be punished.

"Weichen also seconded the proposal, imploring His Majesty Xià Holy Judgment, if not, it is not enough to alert the world."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Zhou Lifan's whole heart was cold, he thought that he would be able to open the sky by taking a step back, thinking that he just had to endure it. The bad luck can end, obviously he has been idle in Beijing for too long, and he has long forgotten about the life and death of you on this temple. He took a step back, and instead of winning understanding and sympathy, he pursued and beat him fiercely, as if these people, who would not let him die without a place to be buried, would not give up if he was stepped on ten thousand feet.

And now, he felt like he was all over his body. Gu was cold, and cold sweat had soaked his back placket. He had nothing but sorrow and great fear in his heart.

I thought it would be a big deal to dismiss the official and return to his hometown. But now, I'm afraid I want to be a man but can't get it.

In that ear, I still recalled all kinds of aggressive voices: "If you don't kill it, it's not enough for the people to be angry, please treat him for the crime of bullying the king......"

Zhou Lifan was completely panicked. He suddenly remembered someone. So he raised his head and looked at Hao Fenglou.

And Hao Fenglou was also looking at him with a smile, as if he was giving him some kind of encouragement.

Zhou Lifan gritted his teeth and couldn't help sneering.

Since you won't let me live, then only the fish will die, and the net will be broken.

Zhou Lifan couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Zhu Di didn't make a sound, and listened coldly to everyone's generous statements. His impression of Zhou Lifan is not too bad, so when someone criticizes Zhou Lifan, he is disrespectful. Some people said that he deceived the king, Zhu Di felt that it was a bit excessive, and now that Zhou Lifan opened his mouth, Zhu Di nodded heshou: "Aiqing is okay with words."

Zhou Lifan said: "All the adults just now said that Weichen is a pseudo-student traitorous party, but Weichen has something to ask, why is this Chen Xue a pseudo-academic traitorous party?"

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

When this sentence came out, the hall was in an uproar, Chen Xue is a pseudo-academic traitor, this is everyone's common sense, but now, Zhou Lifan actually asked such a question, obviously, this is going to fight in the ring.

So Hu Jinxian, the previous imperial historian, said: "Just now I suspect that Lord Zhou is a pseudo-academic traitor, but now it seems that it is not true." Lord Zhou is an official of the imperial court, so if you dare to say this, do you dare to say it? ”

Zhou Lifan is now in a no-go way, but now he calmed down, and said with a smile: "Is it true that pseudo-learning has its own public opinion, but Lord Hu is not waiting for His Majesty's holy judgment, but he has a pseudo-study on the left and a traitor on the right, but what does it mean?" But I don't know where this old hypocrisy comes from, and where does the traitor come from?"

In this regard, Hu Jinxian had done his homework, so he sneered: "What kind of scholar does Chen Xue claim that everyone is equal, is this a falla?"

Zhou Lifan actually didn't know much about Chen Xue, but now that he heard this question, he didn't know how to answer, he was about to search for an excuse, but at this time: "Everyone is equal, where does the fallacy come from?"

This voice was like a Hong Zhong, full of confidence, everyone looked towards the source of the sound, but saw that Hao Fenglou was out of class, sneering at Hu Jinxian.

Hu Jinxian didn't expect to lead to a Hao Fenglou, to be honest, he was a little jealous of Hao Fenglou, but now he is in the eyes of everyone, thinking that behind him, there are the vast majority of the officials in the court, and there are ninety percent of the world's scholars, Hu Jinxian's heart couldn't help but be settled, and sneered: "Shinong industry and commerce, it is Taizu himself who sorts, businessmen are the cheapest, and the untouchables are equal."

Hao Fenglou sighed and said, "Has Emperor Taizu ever said this?"

Hu Jinxian said with a straight face: "This is the ancestral system, doesn't Lord Hao even know this?"

Hao Fenglou said: "Since the merchant is cheap, isn't the scholar the most noble?"

In front of so many people, and Hu Jinxian knew very well that this court meeting had attracted the attention of people all over the world, if he was modest, he would not be criticized by others, so he said without hesitation: "This is natural."

Hao Fenglou smiled: "But Hao heard that when Taizu was here, the major national events, monks and lay people could talk about things, but only the living." Dare to ask, is this student a scholar, a student is a scholar, why is it that everyone in the world can talk about things, but only a scholar can't? It is inferred from this that Emperor Taizu is most likely also a lowly person. Besides, dare to ask Lord Hu, whether the corrupt official and ink official are scholars, so why, Emperor Taizu hated him so much, he skinned them and filled them with grass, so that they could never turn over, you see, when it comes to the law of the ancestors, there is actually no difference between this scholar and a merchant, in this case, then where is the scholar the most expensive?"
