Chapter 13 The righteous Xu Gongzi
The young man in Huafu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words of the eldest grandson, and then his face became a little more gloomy. He sneered: "You hillbilly shouldn't know the name of my eldest grandson, right?" After that, he glanced at the scholars around him, and said arrogantly: "All the students present are the students of this dynasty, since they have arrived in this Tai'an City, I must have heard of the prestige of my eldest grandson's clan, which one will tell this hillbilly?" The tone of the young man in the costume was full of condescension, as if the people around him could only reach his feet and neck.
The son surnamed Xu frowned, pondered for a while, and then approached the eldest grandson Hongdao, lowered his voice and said: "This brother, although this person is a scoundrel who is ruined by gold and jade, his eldest grandson clan is indeed quite special, and the holy decree of the great grandfather is also true. Although our students are arrogant, we still don't have to argue with them at this time, how about retreating? ”
The eldest grandson Hongdao has a good impression of this son surnamed Xu, and thinks that he is humble and has a scholarly spirit. I saw that he smiled slightly, moved to the side, let the son surnamed Xu sit down, and personally poured a cup of tea for him, and then said: "The Tai'an eldest grandson family has not made much progress for so many years, Emperor Taizu Gao is eloquent, and the holy decree he issued back then was just because he didn't want to deal with pedantic people." Taizu is benevolent, and regards arrogant and stubborn people as great cadres, which can be described as benevolent and righteous. I don't want decades to pass, but the Tai'an Changsun clan still regards the Holy Grace as an umbrella for his own prestige and blessing, which is really a great disrespect to Emperor Taizu Gao! As soon as he said this, the face of the young man in the costume couldn't help but change, he knew his own affairs.
Since the death of Emperor Taizu Gao and the succession of Taizong, the imperial court has taken a blind attitude towards their eldest grandson. That means that it is actually self-fending, the Great Qian Empire has never lacked talents, so why should the Li family bother with a hot face and a cold ass against others? Li Hongyuan was extremely unkind to the eldest grandson clan, but he saw with his own eyes how arrogant and rude the eldest grandson clan was. It can be said that Li Hongyuan is quite dissatisfied with the eldest grandson, but when he thinks of Emperor Taizu, he has never embarrassed the other party in the past 12 years of his reign.
Li Hongyuan's benevolence has become a bargaining chip for the Tai'an eldest grandson's family, and they feel that the imperial court still takes them seriously, needs their family's talents, coaxes them, and gets used to them. Gradually, the reputation of the eldest grandson clan in this Tai'an city became more and more bad. So much so that in the ten years of Xingye, Li Hongyuan once wanted to expel the eldest grandson and his family to the frontier, but was stopped by Wang Changling. The reason for Wang Changling's obstruction was still the holy decree of Emperor Taizu, Li Hongyuan thought about it again, and finally did not attack the eldest grandson.
Emperor Taizongren died, and when he arrived in the Longwu Dynasty, Li Yunqing was very busy, where did he have the kung fu to deal with those small people in the market. In this way, the eldest grandson clan became more and more unscrupulous, and advertised everywhere that they had gone through three dynasties and were not declining. No, there is this scene today. These things are naturally clear to the eldest grandson Hongdao, and he is more and more disdainful of the Tai'an eldest grandson clan in his heart.
He ignored the ugly face of the young man in Huafu, but arched his hand in the direction of Qianchang Palace, and continued: "The medicine box is my great Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Taizongren, and the two first emperors love the eldest grandson and the patriarch Sun Zhongyuan. When the eldest grandson Zhongmu had no monarchous father, he collided with Emperor Taizu Gao, and Emperor Taizu not only did not condemn him, but protected him in every way. The people of the imperial capital all knew that the eldest grandson Zhongyuan was rude to the Son of Heaven, and it is said that even the peddlers and pawns did not bother to say a word to him back then. When Taizu heard this, in order to let the eldest grandson Zhongyuan live in peace, he specially issued a holy decree, so as to ensure that the eldest grandson Zhongyuan and his descendants could live in peace in this Tai'an city, and the Son of Heaven lived a worry-free life at the feet of the Son of Heaven. And the rotten Confucian of the eldest grandson Zhongyuan is still against your court, I don't know what to do! As the eldest grandson Hongdao spoke, everyone's eyes became more and more contemptuous when they looked at the prince in Huafu. The face of the young man in Huafu became more and more ugly, he never thought that after decades, there was still someone who knew more about the past than the people of the eldest grandson family. He himself knew that if it weren't for the generosity of the two first emperors, the things their family did would definitely be a bully.
But he heard the prince of Huafu roar angrily: "You are slandering, our eldest grandson clan naturally respects the two emperors." As for you saying that my ancestors were a little disrespectful to Emperor Taizu, that is also a distorted statement. Back then, my ancestor was indeed too scholarly and said a few heavy words. But Emperor Taizu didn't take it to heart, but praised my ancestor for his arrogance! In addition, although the disciples of my eldest grandson clan have not been officials in the imperial court, they have always been a big taxpayer in Tai'an City. The annual tax paid to the imperial court, I'm afraid you, the ancestor of the hillbilly, have never seen so many silver taels! You poor scholar, why are you here to judge my eldest grandson?! I see that you have a bad heart, and you are here today to make trouble for this Enke test! I will hand you over to the government to deal with the law, and I must not let you mess up this Enke test! Come! Arrest this thing that doesn't know whether it's alive or dead to this son!! As soon as his words fell, the two strong men dressed as little servants behind him showed a fierce face, and reached out to grab the collar of Changsun Hongdao's clothes. Seeing this scene, the son surnamed Xu actually stood in front of the eldest grandson Hongdao, who seemed to be weak, but he was not afraid of power.
But I heard the son surnamed Xu say: "Eldest grandson, I'm afraid it's a bit too much for you to do this!" Since the founding of the country, the three of us have never restricted the right of the people to speak, and if you don't like to listen to what this brother said, you can leave on your own! Although your eldest grandson family is a big family, to put it bluntly, it is just a family of merchants! What kind of place are you supposed to be? This is Tai'an City, do you think of yourself as an official mansion? How dare you arrest people here unscrupulously? As my great cadres, don't you know that the law of the country is strict?! The words of the prince surnamed Xu were full of neutrality, which really made the eyes of the eldest grandson Hongdao and his companions full of admiration. They always think that a scholar is a literati, but he is definitely not weak. A scholar can be full of elegance, but his heart cannot be less brave, this is a Confucian child!
With the surname Xu Gongzi as the leader, the other students are no longer afraid of the eldest grandson's fancy son. I only heard a scholar speak: "Your eldest grandson family has been blessed with the grace of Taizu, and now that they have some face in this Tai'an City, they should live a good life with this only face." We have never heard of the people of the eldest grandson clan participating in any imperial examination since the founding of the Great Qian, since you eldest grandson clan have no intention of serving the imperial court, you should do your own business, what do you do to our poetry club? Could it be that you are here to do business? As soon as these words came out, all the students here burst into laughter, and the eldest grandson of the clan trembled angrily!
Listening to his voice, his face was still trembling because of anger: "You dead scholars! I'm really impatient! I'm going to count one of you and send all of you to the prison of Tai'an Mansion!" Arrest them all! ”
