The sudden change made everyone present a little confused, they never thought that Shen Jieyuan, who was in charge of the overall situation, would know the eunuch eagle dog, and the two were taught by the same teacher.

Li Tingxiu is not young after all, and the previous crowded collision has already made him feel a little stuffy and uncomfortable.

Now looking at the students he taught, he has become an accomplice in insulting the literati master, and even comes to arrest the teacher and his classmates!

Under the anger attack, he caused dizziness and fell down.

"Sir, what's wrong with you, sir!"

Shen Yichen shouted urgently, he knew that the medical standard was low in this era, and he was very worried that the teacher would have an accident because he was too emotional.

At the same time, Shen Yichen could not have imagined that the reunion of teachers and students, which should have been celebrated in harmony, would evolve into the current situation.

On the other side, Zhao Hongjie also rushed to Li Tingxiu's face, wanting to reach out to help, but after seeing that Shen Yichen had already held it, his hands hung in the air, and there was no next move.

At this time, Zhao Hongjie's face was full of pain, and he didn't know how to face his teacher.

"What the hell is going on, Shen Jieyuan and the accomplice lackeys are classmates?"

"Could it be that they are a gang, acting here?"

"Heh, Duke Cheng Guo and the eunuch are both high-ranking officials in the imperial court, do you think they will protect each other?"

"Teaching such an eagle dog student is really insulting to the dignity of the teacher!"

All kinds of suspicious voices began to spread among the crowd, and even had a tendency to spread more and more outrageous.

After all, the only people who could see the complete process of the matter were dozens of people standing around Shen Yichen, and most of them didn't know what was going on.

Under the false rumors, there was even a situation where Shen Yichen wanted to preside over the overall situation, just to join forces with Jinyiwei to help the eunuch calm down the incident.

It's not just the literati who question the relationship between Shen Yichen and Jinyiwei.

On the contrary, on Jinyiwei's side, there was also a great distrust of Zhao Hongjie's actions!

As the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, everything should be based on the emperor's order. These literati openly disobeyed the Holy Decree, questioned the Holy Judgment, and even thought of the robbers.

You, a pro-soldier in brocade clothes, dare to disobey orders and collude with "traitors" in the face of your boss's orders?

"Zhao Baihu, the military order is like a mountain, Shen Yichen and his division commander are the troublemakers, what are you still doing in a daze, take down the two of them!"

The leader Qianhu urged again, and motioned to the other Jinyi guards with his eyes, if Zhao Hongjie still dared to disobey, then they would be arrested together.

Listening to the military order in his ears, Zhao Hongjie was completely in a dilemma, only to see him grit his teeth, turn around and kneel down on one knee and reply: "Lord Qianhu, Shen Yichen and the others are just a momentary scholarly anger, and they have not caused serious consequences, and they hope to open the net!" ”

"Scholarly spirit? are all ready to rob, can it still be called no serious consequences? ”

"Well, since you want to help them intercede, I'll give them a chance. Now let Shen Yichen retreat with this group of troublesome scholars, and Ben Qianhu can consider letting them go! ”

Linghu replied coldly, he watched more and more scholars gather, and he also felt that things were a little too big, and it was not so easy to take people.

By the way, you can also throw this hot potato to Zhao Hongjie, this kid recently hugged the thigh of the prince and was in the limelight, and he was promoted to 100 households in a short period of time, and parachuted into his own health office.

Now he still dares to disobey his orders, and he can take this opportunity to kill his sharp spirit.

"Xiaguan thanks to the Lord of a thousand households!"

Zhao Hongjie kowtowed in thanksgiving, then turned to look at Shen Yichen, and the two looked at each other.

At this moment, the emotions of the two were extremely complicated, and all kinds of sweet and sour tastes came to their hearts.

"Yi Chen, it is a holy decree that Lord Sacrificial Wine was punished by the Lotus School, and the emperor's order cannot be violated!"

"You will only affect yourself if you lead the trouble, don't be rash, persuade everyone to leave quickly."

To be honest, Shen Yichen never thought of leading the trouble, and the reason why he came to Guozijian was more because of a state of doubt and protecting his teacher Li Tingxiu.

The reason why he stood up and presided over the overall situation was purely out of necessity. But at this point, he was also put on the shelf, and it was not so easy to get down.

"Do you think I can still take them out of this situation?"

Shen Yichen showed a wry smile on his face, today's events made him not only understand what it means to be "each his master", but also understand what it means to be "involuntarily".

Scholars are easy to be rash, but scholars are also like green pines and boulders, that is, they are standing tall and not retreating!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the literati were corrupt and Confucian, and the people were ashamed to laugh at the disaster of the country and the people, but this does not mean that there was no literati style and integrity in the Ming Dynasty.

Let's take the orthodox dynasty Wang Zhen to talk about things, among the people Shen Yichen knows, there are Liu Qiu, Zhou Xu, Qian Xili, Li Shimian and other literati who are unwilling to grovel and bend their waists for power and wealth!

The concept of valuing integrity, ignoring self-interest, ignoring wealth and nobility, and ignoring life and death is particularly important in the hearts of this group of literati who have not yet been assimilated by officialdom.

Without an explanation, Shen Yichen will not persuade him to retreat!

Looking at the group of enthusiastic scholars behind Shen Yichen, Zhao Hongjie also understood that this matter was almost impossible.

He could only take a step back, grabbed Shen Yichen's arm, and said with red eyes: "Yichen, then I can only make sure that you leave with your husband!" ”

Since he couldn't calm the incident, Zhao Hongjie could only do his best to ensure that Shen Yichen and his teacher Li Tingxiu left first, which was already the limit of his current ability.

But this method has a very serious consequence, that is, for Shen Yichen, if he leaves first with Li Tingxiu, he will suffer the fate of "what a thousand people point to".

The reason is very simple, as a person who is in charge of the overall situation, but he reached an agreement with Jinyiwei and ran away first, this kind of traitorous behavior will inevitably isolate himself from the group of scholars.

Zhao Hongjie knew the price to pay, so he grabbed Shen Yichen's arm, his eyes were red. It's just that the teacher is in this state and is in prison, and whether he can come out alive is a question, and he has no choice!

Not only Zhao Hongjie understands, but Shen Yichen also understands that the choice in front of him now is nothing more than to save the teacher or "save" himself.

"Okay."

Without too much hesitation, Shen Yichen made a choice.

Even if he is pointed out by thousands of people, if he can give up preaching and teaching teachers for the sake of his future and reputation.

Then in the future, you can also give up the literati and the people of the world for the sake of fame and fortune!

In life, how can you be as good as you want, but please be worthy of my heart!

Just when Shen Yichen was about to pick up the teacher and leave, Li Tingxiu, who had fallen into a coma before, woke up at some point.

He stretched out his arm, grabbed Shen Yichen's shirt, and said with difficulty: "I can't agree, I won't leave as a teacher!" ”

"Sir, I beg you!"

Zhao Hongjie looked at Li Tingxiu's stubborn appearance, and immediately knelt down, crying bitterly and begging him to leave.

Because in the past six months, Zhao Hongjie has seen countless cruel and bloody torture methods in the edict prison, and he knows very well what kind of hell on earth this is.

took the lead in making trouble to offend Wang Zhen, Shen Yichen may also survive by relying on Xie Yuan's fame and the identity of the son of Chengguo Gong, and Li Tingxiu will almost definitely die if he goes in!

The opportunity is fleeting, and neither of them can go if it is delayed.

At this time, Li Tingxiu's other arm stretched out to hold Zhao Hongjie's hand, squeezed out a smile on his face and said: "As a teacher, I have taught you for many years, and I know that you are pure in nature and are by no means treacherous, so I don't blame you for being a teacher." ”

"As a literati, you should be serious about integrity and light on life and death. Don't even put your life on top of the reputation of your students, and die for your teacher! ”

Just when Zhao Hongjie was about to continue to persuade, the voice of the leader of the thousand households came from behind him: "Zhao Hongjie, this official has already given you a chance, but you are useless." ”

"In that case, let's take it all together."

This kind of teacher-student friendship is not merciful in the eyes of other Jinyi guards.

Because most of the Jinyi guards are different from Zhao Hongjie, they are pure martial arts backgrounds, and in the environment of emphasizing literature over martial arts, I don't know how many literati have been despised and abused on weekdays.

If you come out to mix and always have to pay it back, you are usually superior, but today you have the opportunity, why should I let you go?

"Wait!"

Seeing that the other brocade guards were about to make a move, Zhao Hongjie yelled again.

"Zhao Hongjie, are you planning to disobey Shangguan?"

A fierce look appeared on the face of the commander Qianhu, Zhao Hongjie has a backer to act so recklessly, I am afraid that I have to teach him a lesson, so that this son can understand what is called superiority and humility!

"The lower officials don't dare!"

"Lord Qianhu, thousands of literati have gathered here today, and if the anger of the people is provoked and the leader of the Juzi is arrested, there is a risk that the court will be shocked. At that time, even Weng's father will have a bad reputation, and we can't afford to blame it. ”

Zhao Hongjie understands that if he wants to stop his boss's order, he will definitely not be able to rely on himself, and only by moving Wang Zhen out can he make the other party jealous.

The situation on the scene is already at a critical point, and once thousands of scholars are triggered to go to the palace to cry, it will cause turmoil in the government and the opposition. No matter what the civil and military officials feel in their hearts, driven by the righteousness of Confucianism, they have to stand up and let Wang Zhen and even the emperor give an explanation.

This kind of situation, just like the great ceremonial incident of the Jiajing Dynasty in later generations, is a dispute between etiquette and law, which will seriously shake the foundation of the country, even Wang Zhen can't bear such a big pressure. So when the time comes, in order to calm down the incident, a few scapegoats will inevitably be thrown.

Who is most likely to be the backstabber? Naturally, he was the one who gave the order and provoked the anger of the public!

At the same time, Zhao Hongjie's words also reminded Shen Yichen that it was meaningless to confront the officers and soldiers Jinyi Guard here.

The other party is acting in accordance with the emperor's order, and no matter whether this holy decree is legal or not, it naturally occupies a legal advantage. And the literati at the scene wanted to openly rob Li Shimian and others, which was theoretically resisting and disobeying the order.

It is precisely because of this that the Jinyi guards on the scene dare to be so unscrupulous, and they are the people with a righteous reputation.

"Colleagues, it is a holy decree that the Great Si clan is being punished by the Dutch School here, and now the Holy One is deceived by evil spirits, and we should hear the sound of the court to the heavens, so as to save the Great Si Clan from fire and water!"

Shen Yichen's shout made many of the scholars who later supported show shocked expressions on their faces, they never thought that this was actually a holy decree punishment, and they thought it was Wang Zhen's lynching under their righteous indignation.

"The punishment of the Great Si clan is a holy decree, doesn't that mean that we are disobeying the emperor's order?"

"How could the Holy One make such a will, he must have been deceived by the eunuchs!"

"If you don't obey the order and loot the execution ground, I'm afraid you will have to be removed from your reputation at the very least, right?"

"Seriously, it will also involve the Nine Clans!"

After all, in the feudal society, the imperial power is supreme, and the emperor is heaven in the hearts of the world.

Monarchs and ministers are the core principles of Confucianism, how can the literati present violate their beliefs?

But at this time, in the crowd, there were also some different voices.

"You must be vigilant, who knows if this will be a delaying tactic?"

"That's right, Shen Yichen and this brocade guard obviously have a brotherly friendship, maybe this is their trap!"

"If we leave at this time, who can guarantee the thoughtfulness of the Great Priest?"

"Shen Yichen, how can you guarantee that if you knock on the grievances, the saint will definitely be able to know?"

All kinds of questions are in my ears, and the change of Shen Yichen and Zhao Hongjie's acquaintance makes it difficult to unify opinions in an already chaotic situation.

However, at this time, Li Tingxiu stood up and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Colleagues, I am Shen Yichen's teacher, and I am willing to stay here and be punished with the Dasi clan." ”

"If the Great Si clan does not return his innocence for a day, he will not leave an inch in the future, can this make you feel at ease!"

If you don't teach strictly, you can't teach it!

Li Tingxiu has adhered to the way of teachers and students all his life, and now Zhao Hongjie is on the opposite side of the literati, and Shen Yichen has suffered all kinds of doubts, all of which are inseparable from his own teacher.

If you want to change this situation, the only way is to stay as a hostage yourself, so as to block the mouths of Youyou!

"Sir, your body ......"

After Shen Yichen heard this, he immediately wanted to persuade Li Tingxiu, he had fainted in a hurry before, and now his body was in a very poor state, and his face was sickly flushed.

At this moment, the snow is falling and the wind is cold, even if the scholars go to the crying palace, they don't know when they will get the emperor's response.

Shen Yichen was worried that Li Tingxiu's body would not be able to hold on!

"Needless to say, this is the responsibility of the teacher."

Li Tingxiu directly interrupted Shen Yichen's words, and bowed to the chief of the scholar behind him with righteousness and awe, using the identity and credit of the teacher as a guarantee.

At this moment, a young man walked out of the crowd, returned the salute to Li Tingxiu and said, "Mr. Li is well aware of righteousness, and we should take it as a role model. ”

But now that the saint has been deceived by treachery, even if he goes to knock, he may not be able to redress his grievances. In order to ensure that the words of justice can reach the heavens, I suggested that Brother Shen sign in the name of Xinke Xie Yuanlang to prove the innocence of the Great Si clan! ”

When this passage came out, everyone present nodded yes.

"That's right, Shen Yichen is Shuntian Xinke Xie Yuan, and he is also the son of Chengguo Gong, and his signature is sure to be able to be sent to the saint."

"This is really the best of both worlds, brother and brother!"

"Brother Shen should preside over the overall situation in this way!"

"If Shen Jieyuan's signature is sparse, he will join the next wish!"

Obviously, just leaning outside the palace gate and shouting for grievances may not be heard by the emperor. But if someone takes the lead, especially if the leader has a deep background, the possibility of letting the emperor know will be greatly increased.

Didn't Shen Yichen want to preside over the overall situation, so he naturally became the best choice.

Theoretically, this way of thinking is correct, but in fact, this person with a sparse signature means that he is openly on the opposite side of Wang Zhen!

Liu Qiu's matter is known to everyone in the world, he offended Wang Zhen because of a letter of negligence, and was dismembered and died in the edict.

Now that this person has been replaced by Shen Yichen, can he resist Wang Zhen's retaliation?

The answer is obvious, even the concubine Du Wei Shilu scolded the servant eunuch at home, Wang Zhentu was able to throw him into prison under the sorrow of the dead fox, and Shen Yichen was able to resist revenge before he had a ghost.

Even Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, went up in person, and he couldn't bear Wang Zhen's power at this stage.

Therefore, this young man's suggestion seems to be righteous and awe-inspiring, but in fact it contains evil intentions.

Shen Yichen could naturally think of the consequences, so he carefully looked at the young man who stood up, and vaguely felt a little familiar.

When he saw a sneer on the corner of the other party's mouth, Shen Yichen had a picture in his mind, he was the Feng Zichu he had seen in Yingtian Zhao Academy!

On that day, he was invited by the teacher Lin Zhen to audit, and was provoked by the students of Zhaowen Academy, Shen Yichen was not polite at that time, and chose to fight back sharply, which made the other party deflated.

In the future, Shen Yichen didn't take it to heart, thinking that this was just a literati contempt, and the envy and jealousy of Lin Zhen that he could apprentice.

Now it seems that he didn't take it to heart, but the other party is not.

"I'll write the sparse thing."

Li Tingxiu is a traditional scholar and literati, but it does not mean that he does not have a sense of politics, and he also realizes that letting Shen Yichen's signature be sparse may cause endless troubles.

In this case, it is better to let yourself bear the consequences, and it is a big deal to give up the imperial examination again and find a rural mountain village to be a teacher.

"Mr. Li is noble, but Xie Yuanlang's status is noble, and others are irreplaceable."

It is impossible for Feng Zichu to give up such a good opportunity for revenge and continue to take advantage of the general situation to be aggressive.

"Well, according to your words!"

Shen Yichen understands today's events, he is already deeply trapped in it and can't escape, and the other party occupies the general situation, which is completely irrefutable.

Once Shen Yichen used the situation to use Yang to oppress people, but he didn't expect that one day, this trick was also used by others.

"Sir, the student will leave first."

Shen Yichen bowed his hand to say goodbye to Li Tingxiu, since he had already decided on something, he would go early and return early, Mr. 's body would not be able to support it for long.

At the same time, after finishing speaking, he looked at Zhao Hongjie and added: "Take care of Mr." ”

Although they are in different camps, Shen Yichen understands in his heart that Zhao Hongjie will definitely not be unfavorable to Li Tingxiu, and only he can temporarily protect Mr. Quan.

"I will."

Zhao Hongjie nodded heavily, and there was no cowardice in Ying Tianfu between his eyebrows.

"And me, sir!"

Just as Shen Yichen was about to leave, there was a loud shout in the distance, and he saw Li Da wearing full armor, leading a team of soldiers to rely on their strong bodies and force their way out of the crowd.

Take a closer look, in addition to Li Da, the white fat man Zhang Qi, Wu Rong and other students from the outer courtyard are also close behind!
