Chapter 156: Closing the Courtyard Gate

The officials shouted: "Don't think that you and other scholars will look down on me and other cheap servants, and tell you that I don't know people with this fork and stick in my hand, and if you knock and touch, you are unlucky!" ”

The students said, "Okay, there's a kind of fighting!" ”

"Don't look at the master, who am I!"

"Damn, you dare to touch us, believe it or not, we will make you lose your jobs tomorrow!"

The students were not afraid to protect the academy, and when they saw that the officials were about to fight, they immediately defended themselves with their backhands.

More than a dozen students danced their arms and legs and hit dozens of officials.

A group of weak scholars with weak hands and feet can fight against a group of tiger and wolf errands who show off their might to the people on weekdays, where can this be beaten?

Seeing this scene, many people closed their eyes.

A few old Confucian scholars knelt down in the direction of the palace and cried at the top of their throats: "Your Majesty! You're open, don't you want us to live! ”

Sima Shao said on the side: "A few old people, cry slowly first, you see!" ”

The officials waved their forks and clubs in panic, and struggled uselessly, and the momentum of bullying the civilians disappeared.

There were even two or three scholars who caught a lone official and used various tricks to lock their throats and steal peaches from monkeys.

"Scared! I'm not dreaming! Seeing this scene, the old Confucian students were also stunned.

What's going on?

We scholars have finally risen up this time!

The magistrate on the side looked pale, and shouted to the leader of the officials beside him: "What's going on? ”

The leader of the officials suddenly lost face, and he felt that he had lost too badly, so he personally grabbed a few of the fastest officials, first shook a few big-eared scrapers, and then scolded: "How many of you eat dry rice? The court raised you for nothing? Where is the ruthlessness of urging taxes when you go to the countryside on weekdays? How can you be chased and beaten by a few weak scholars with weak hands and feet? ”

The official cried and said, "It's not that I'm incompetent, look at who those people are!" They are Young Master Xu Weiran, Young Master Lin Feng. ”

"If they lose a single hair in me, the adults in the family won't peel me and a few others with no background at will! It's not that we can't beat it, but we don't dare to fight it! ”

As soon as the official said, several other officials also nodded and said, "Yes, yes, they all have fame, and the background is hard!" We really can't do anything about them. Why don't you head up? ”

The leader of the officials was speechless when he heard this, and could only forcibly scold: "You rabbit cubs, you have raised you for nothing on weekdays." ”

At that moment, the head of the government went to the magistrate and said, "My lord! It's not that we are not in a good position, but it is true that these scholars are all gentlemen, and they are a little bit related to each other. We really can't do anything! ”

The magistrate was suddenly speechless, such a treacherous servant, when he was a fish and meat on weekdays, he didn't say anything about the friendship of the villagers, but now that he met these scholars, he suddenly remembered the friendship of the township!

......

Seeing that the county was about to get angry, the leader of the government hurriedly said: "My lord, it's okay for these people to rectify the Diao people on weekdays, but we can't do this to take the matter of scholars, only the Ouchi guards can do it!" ”

The magistrate stiffened his face and said, "Don't you know this official?" But are the uncles of the Ouchi guards able to move their own officials? ”

"Didn't Governor Zhang Qilong order the Ouchi guards to cooperate with you?"

"......" The magistrate almost said the word fart, but as a county official, it was better not to say it, "Without the warrant of the commander of the Ouchi guards, no one in those Ouchi guards listens to them on weekdays."

......

The magistrate came to the mountain courtyard, but saw Zhang Fuzi, the president of the Confucian Academy, wearing a Confucian robe, drinking tea in front of the desk calmly.

The magistrate asked the left and right officials to retreat, and said in front of Zhang Fuzi: "Dean, I drink tea here and enjoy the scenery, and I don't care about the students fighting against the government, don't you know that a catastrophe is coming?" ”

Zhang Fuzi kept writing and said: "My lord, what other disasters are there, compared to the people of the country, don't dare to speak, the road is in sight, and as a parent, don't you know how to defend the people, even in Sichuan." Isn't it ridiculous that the river collapsed, and the adults turned a blind eye to such a catastrophe, but came here to put out the fire? ”

Zhixian said: "The imperial court has the decrees and systems of the imperial court, and those who read should study, should not criticize the government, and do not seek their politics if they are not in their position. ”

"I didn't expect the county to be so worried about the country and the people, so Your Excellency came to the wrong place, the chaos in the world lies in putting the cart before the horse, and the chaos and the end of the rule are not. The magistrate didn't go to the court to arrest the officials who caused chaos in the world, and came to the academy to arrest a few scholars, isn't this a waste of books? ”

The magistrate smiled angrily: "If the officials of the imperial court are at fault, they will be impeached by their own officials and people, and they will only know how to settle the people for His Majesty." I won't tell you anything else. ”

"At present, the governor has given His Majesty an order, ordering the officials to ban the destruction of Confucian academies. You also went to the Jinluan Palace at the beginning, and you know what the mandate of heaven cannot be violated, so the lower officials are also acting on orders. Please don't be embarrassed, let the disciples disperse early, lest things get too big and it won't look good. ”

Master Zhang shook his head and said: "My lord, what you said is wrong, the old man has never instructed the disciples to do anything, you said that the disciples outside the door resisted the government, it was just the disciples themselves, the old man taught them for a few days, how could He De let them do this." This matter shows that justice is in the hearts of the people! ”

"Don't you really want to advise them to leave? Then Hugh is going to force me! ”

The teacup under Master Zhang's hand shook, spilled half a cup of herbal tea and asked, "My lord, what do you mean by this?" ”

The magistrate said: "You are fortunate to have worked hard to run the academy, not so that the disciples have a good future, but next year, when the academy examination and the imperial examination, if none of your Confucian Academy disciples are successful, what should you do?" ”

Zhang Fuzi put down the teacup, raised his head and said, "You actually threaten the old man with this!" ”

The magistrate said: "This official is also forced to be helpless. If not, the future of the lower officials will be gone. ”

Master Zhang said: "That's it, the old man promised you to close the academy, but you are not allowed to embarrass my disciple." ”

The magistrate smiled bitterly when he heard this: "If this official is not forced to do this, how can he do this, since this is the case, just do it, dean, don't blame this official!" ”

Master Zhang shook his head and said, "Let's go, the old man doesn't want to see you!" ”

The magistrate left immediately and beckoned the officials to leave outside the door.

When the disciples of the academy saw the retreat of the officials, they rushed to the dean and asked, "Dean, is this dog official uniform soft?" ”

"This dog officer must be scared, haha."

"yes. I fought with those dogs just now, and I watched those servants on weekdays, who knows if they are vulnerable, as long as we work together, what else is there to be afraid of! ”

Lin Feng asked, "Dean, is this dog official allowed not to seal our academy?" ”

Master Zhang looked at these disciples and said, "No, the old man has already agreed to the magistrate and close the Confucian Academy!" ”

"Dean!"

"Dean!"

The disciples exclaimed, "I'm not afraid of Zhixian, why should I be forced by him to close the academy." ”

"Yes, we're not afraid of him!"

"It's a big deal, the dean taught my generation of scholars to be serious and light on life and death, even if this dog official kills me?"

"Let's go settle accounts with this dog officer!"

All the disciples are enthusiastic. The people around responded one after another.

Zhang Fuzi shouted: "Don't go!" ”

For the first time, when the disciples saw Master Zhang's fierce words, they didn't dare to speak.

But I heard Master Zhang say gently: "You are all very good disciples, you are still young, not as old as me." What does it mean to commit suicide? Go back, the Confucian Academy will be closed for the time being from today. Go home and read, remember! Don't delay next year's college examination and imperial examination! ”

The disciples wanted to say more, but Master Zhang had already made up his mind, and the disciples could only say goodbye to Master Zhang.

At that moment, all the disciples packed up their things and were driven away from the academy.

Everyone stood at the gate of the academy, but when they saw the gate of the academy, they were sealed by the officials, and they all wailed and cried, and finally they could only leave the academy separately.

At this moment, Sima Shao was drinking tea with the magistrate in a teahouse not far away, and the magistrate said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the lower officials are helpless, and today's matter is offended." ”

Sima Shao said: "I also understand that you can't help yourself, but this king hopes to look at my face and be accommodating." ”

Hearing this, the magistrate flicked his fingers on the table and said, "This, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean?" ”

Sima Shao said: "Father only ordered the governor to ban the destruction of the academy, and you have already done it according to the governor's order." ”

"Today, the academy is closed, and the magistrate has already given an account to the governor, so just report it accordingly. After a few days, the limelight has passed, the academy has reopened, and the county magistrate only needs to pretend that he doesn't know. ”

Zhixian couldn't help but shake his head, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you are taking advantage of loopholes." ”

Sima Shao said with a smile: "This is called a strategy, there is a countermeasure, if there is a problem, you let the governor come to me, you shouldn't give this king this face." ”

The magistrate laughed and said, "Don't dare, the lower officials will sell you this face." ”
