Chapter 154: Find a place to take refuge

The days just went by slowly.

There were two guests from the prince's mansion, Sima Shao didn't expect.

"Brother Lin? Brother Xu? Sima Shao said.

Lin Feng arched his hand and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please forgive me for being presumptuous. ”

And Xu Weiran gave it up at will.

Lin Feng stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, we are here to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and we have something to ask for!" ”

Sima Shao said: "Two brothers, if you have something to say, you might as well speak up." ”

Sima Shao thought that he was not familiar with the two of them on weekdays, but when he suddenly came to the door, he would be embarrassed.

Lin Feng said: "We are here for the matter of Master Wang, the chief examiner of the Guozi Prison. ”

Sima Shao asked, "How is Master Wang?" ”

Lin Feng was surprised: "Your Highness, don't you know? ”

Sima Shao said: "Recently, I have been relaxing and resting, but I really don't know about it. ”

Lin Feng sighed and said, "It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know that now the prince is in prison. ”

Sima Shao said: "Let's talk about it carefully. ”

Lin Feng said: "I also learned a few days ago that Master Wang has been taken down by the palace guards and is preparing to go to the official palace to prison. ”

Sima Shao said: "Master Wang, who usually respects himself with the Tao and promotes good talents, why was he imprisoned by the imperial court?" ”

Xu Weiran snorted, slapped his palm on the table and said, "It's not that some officials in the court are nitpicking and picking bones in eggs. ”

"The two of us are usually blessed by the king's master and respect him as a person."

"Hmph, Zhuang Yuanlang, you are also appreciated by Master Wang, and now that he is in prison, won't you help?"

Sima Shao didn't like others to button his big hat, and said lightly: "If you want to help, you must first explain the ins and outs." How can a husband not ask whether he is right or wrong? ”

Xu Weiran sneered: "I know that you are a person who is not good at asking for money. ”

Lin Feng hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Xu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not quarrel, this matter is so." ”

After listening to Lin Fengdao's news of Wangfuzi's imprisonment, Sima Shao also shouted for Wangfuzi in his heart.

This matter has to start with the trial of the inner court of the Guozijian a few days ago.

When Wang Fuzi presided over the examination of the Guozi Supervision Institute, he asked a few questions, but there was a question like this.

One is that he came up with an essay title "Weimin Stops", which comes from "The Book of Poetry, Shang Tilt, Xuanniao".

It is to the effect that the vast land of the state residence is inhabited and inhabited by the people, and there is a meaning of loving the people.

This topic is completely in line with the norms of Confucian mansions, and there is nothing wrong with it.

However, the Great Jin Dynasty was prevalent in literary prisons, and after Emperor Yuan of Jin heard about it, he felt that "stopping for the people" was "insulting the imperial power", so he ordered the arrest of the entire mansion of Wang Fuzi.

This question has the meaning of rebellion, and it is misinterpreted as the intention of the prince to rebel.

Therefore, Xu Weiran said indignantly before, picking bones in eggs.

Wang Fuzi asked this question and was impeached by the new governor Zhang Qilong.

Zhang Qilong said in the recital that Wang Fuzi's coming up with such a topic is simply insulting the name of learning and politics, and it is contrary to the intention of the imperial court to worship education, and should be deposed.

Within a few days, the cabinet made a plan to dismiss the prince from his post and put the guards in prison.

Wang Fuzi has been teaching in the Guozijian for many years, and has won the support of many local students, and this time it was Wang Fuzi who presided over the imperial examination, and there was a problem, so the students of the imperial examination were all crying out for Wang Fuzi.

Sima Shao said: "I didn't even know about it? ”

Lin Feng said: "We can rely on the cultivation of Master Wang today, and now that Master Wang has something, how can we not come forward and avenge the grievances of Xuezheng, but we and others are soft-spoken and can't reach the heavens." Therefore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also invited to take the lead. Contact the local students and join us in redress for Mr. Wang. ”

"Yes," Xu Weiran also asked, "Your Highness, I only want to ask one sentence, would you like to help Master Wang?" ”

Sima Shao hesitated for a moment and said, "The two of you are too important. Although I also think that the prince has been wronged in this matter, but the court has a clear decree, even if we redress the grievances of the prince, how can we change the decision of my father? ”

Lin Feng said: "Your Highness, how can you be afraid of difficulties and not do it, not to mention that we are not without a chance of winning, we can unite the students, officials, and squires in the city to jointly write to the household department on this matter." The household servants will report to the court, and let them forward it to the court for us, so as to prove the innocence of the prince. ”

Sima Shao listened and said, "You plan to use public opinion to rescue Master Wang?" ”

Lin Feng nodded and said, "As a member of the Great Jin Dynasty, we are the princes of the imperial court, and we have the responsibility of discussing political affairs. If we unite dozens of officials to jointly submit a letter to the imperial court. ”

"The imperial court will not be negligent and will definitely handle this case carefully. In this way, we will also help Master Wang. ”

Lin Feng said again: "Your Highness, you are Your Highness. If you go to the court, it will weigh more than me. What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a wide range of contacts, and many people and officials in the city are willing to sell your face. ”

Sima Shao smiled and said, "It's rare for Brother Lin to bother so much. I know so much about it. ”

On the side, Xu Weiran asked: "Your Highness, the prince of heaven and earth." If it wasn't for the recommendation of Master Wang, how could you win the title today, and you must not be ungrateful. ”

After listening to it for a while, Sima Shao thought for a while and said: "Since the two of you are so worthy of being below, you can only be respectful and obey your fate." ”

Lin Feng and Xu Weiran glanced at each other, and they all said: "Your Highness is really a righteous person, we thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not help." ”

Sima Shao shook his head and said, "Where is it, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to catch it." Although he is in the position of His Royal Highness, this point is only famous, and it is really nothing. So if you raise your arms and shout, don't mention it again. ”

Lin Feng listened to Sima Shao's words, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is too humble." ”

Xu Weiran said with a smile: "It's enough to have His Royal Highness's words, as for the rest of the people who have received the favor of the prince, we will visit the officials one by one, but Your Highness's court, I still want you to talk about it!" ”

Lin Feng said: "Yes, His Highness has a great reputation, if His Highness takes the lead, then there will be more people in the city who support us." ”

Sima Shao said: "The two of you really look up to it, and it's just a fluke to get the name of the champion." What's more, the forces above the court are complicated, and I am used to idle clouds and wild cranes, and I have not been able to convince them of their certainty, so it is better to wait until next week's hunt, I will consult with the officials and then reply to the two of them. ”

Lin and Xu glanced at each other, and they both frowned and said, "Saving people is like fighting fire, if it's too late next month." ”

Sima Shao listened to the moment and said: "Okay, then I'll run errands for the two of you, so I'll contact a few ministers of the DPRK and China, ask them what they think, and then give them a reply." ”

"It's just that some officials live far away, and I ask Brother Lin and Brother Xu to be patient."

Hearing Sima Shao say this, Lin Xu and the others said happily: "Thank you to His Royal Highness the Prince, I will wait for the good news." ”

At that moment, Sima Shao sent Lin and Xu out of the mansion door, and repeatedly advised: "Please entrust the two of you to redress the grievances of the prince." ”

The two said: "Where, we thank Your Highness." ”

At that moment, the two left together, and Sima Shao sent them to the entrance of the alley before returning to the mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the mansion, Sima Shao said: "Gu Chang, prepare the car immediately!" ”

Gu Chang also heard a sentence or two when he was at the door just now, and immediately asked, "Your Highness, where are you going?" ”

Sima Shao shook his head and said, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just looking for a place to take refuge." ”

Gu Chang asked, "Your Highness?" ”

Gathering officials to write a letter to redress the grievances of the prince, this is using public opinion to coerce the court to change its decision!

This time, Wang Fuzi happened to hit the muzzle of the gun and was used to arrest him.

It's more important to know what you can't do and understand what you can do.

So it's not that Sima Shao is unwilling to save it, but even if the national officials jointly write a letter to protect the prince, it is useless, not to mention that the officials are sent to the book.

In case the father is angry, he will be held accountable, although the law does not blame the public, but the person who took the lead will be investigated.

Lin and Xu actually want to let themselves take the lead, I really don't know if they deliberately came to harm themselves.

When it comes to his idea, don't they know that they don't interfere in political affairs?
