"Lord Wan," the prefect was embarrassed and said, "Wei Huai, in order to carry out some reforms, he actually instigated the people to make trouble, is this okay?" However, after reading that he was still a famous family, he didn't dare to do it, so he came to ask the county king for advice. ”

Wan Heshun took a sip of tea and was silent. When he was young, his lower lip trembled slightly, and said: "As a scholar, he naturally has a shallow opinion, and he is not to blame for ......."

"......"

"Listen to me," Wan Heshun squinted his eyes and smiled, "but those Diao people are dogs and people, and they are really hateful." I heard that they gathered in that ...... Sihe Academy, right? ”

"This is Wei Huaixing's business."

"I can't say that, Wei Huai paid for it, but he just wanted to teach and educate people, but he didn't expect it to be like this, he must be sad. Therefore, the academy should be sealed. ”

"What should Wei Huai do?"

"If you don't have to dispose of it, what are you doing with it? This is the big man in Nanjing. ”

"This ......" The prefect saw that Wan Heshun was a little biased towards Wei Huai, and felt that things were a little tricky.

"Isn't it? Wei Huai will not disobey the orders of the government, right? Wan Heshun seemed to see through his thoughts, although he was still smiling, but he implied murderous intentions.

After hearing this, the prefect suddenly woke up, hurriedly got down from the circle chair, knelt on the ground, and said, "King Xie Jun! He kowtowed a few times and hurriedly said goodbye to Wan He.

When the prefect returned to Yamen, he immediately dispatched a team of men and horses, and ordered them to kill each of them with swords and seals, and kill them in Sihe Academy.

At that time, Xia Yuanlong was teaching when he suddenly heard a sound of uniform footsteps outside the wall, and gradually walked here. Fearing that something might happen, he hurriedly dropped his book and said to the students, "I'll go out and have a look first." ”

When he came down from Sihe Hall, he heard the footsteps of the sergeant on the south courtyard wall, and the movement of the knife coming out of its sheath. Immediately afterwards, the east courtyard wall and the north courtyard wall had this sound at the same time. Xia Yuanlong hurriedly set up a wooden ladder from the main gate, that is, the south courtyard wall, and climbed up with great difficulty, and when he looked out, he was all black armor and white blades, staring at the gate of the academy with a fierce look; He craned his neck to look at the other walls, which were also firmly guarded by soldiers, and surrounded the academy entirely, and the walls were full of official flags.

"What do you want to do?"

A general on a horse looked up and saw Xia Yuanlong standing on the wall shouting.

"I am here to raid the academy on the order of the prefect, and you and those students go out!"

"I'm going to ask. Can the prefect give an order? ”

The general took out a piece of paper from his bosom: "Is this enough proof?" ”

"Then I want to ask: We have no grievances with the prefect, what reason do we have to seal down the academy?"

"You guys go into trouble in the streets, can you see it with your own eyes?"

Xia Yuanlong was speechless. He knew he was irrefutable, and that there was no remedy for the status quo if he continued to hold on like this. So he said, "If you confess it, you just have to seal it up, and I will go and call the students out." ”

"I see that you are also a scholar, but don't be ignorant!"

"Nature, nature." So saying, he leaned down the ladder.

Xia Yuanlong went straight back to Sihe Hall and saw that those students were all looking at his faces worriedly.

"Don't panic for the time being, it's just that the government has come to seal down our academy; Settle down and go out with me. He said solemnly.

"Why are they?" A man with a Suzhou accent suddenly jumped out, "This Sihe Academy opens lectures for the people, how can the imperial court say that it will be sealed?" What about Mr. Wei? They asked Mr. Wei to come over and explain! ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! ”

Everyone was furious, and their emotions were clearly aroused.

"I just told you to settle down, and that's a mess. I think this situation is very complicated, so it is better for us to give in first, and then immediately go to Mr. Wei to find out what happened, and then discuss something else. Otherwise, we don't know anything, and we will be caught by others, but we will suffer a dumb loss! Xia Yuanlongshi said calmly, unmoved.

"That'...... Well, I have to listen to Mr. Xia. And they settled down.

Xia Yuanlong led the students to the door, opened the door, and said to the general: "You just have to seal it up, and we will come out." ”

"That's pretty good talking. Go ahead! ”

The general beckoned the soldiers to rush into the Sihe Academy, while Xia Yuanlong led the students to avoid the ranks and went out through the side gate.

The general locked the gate tightly with his hands, snapped the seal, and stuck it to the door.

"The prefect said that he wanted to dismiss my official, why did he move towards the academy?" Wei Huai looked at Xia Yuanlong in shock.

"This is a clever plan from the prefect." Xia Yuanlong sat like a clock, but Wei Huai couldn't help but stand up and paced slowly.

"Clever plan? What kind of drama is this? Yang Huaixian asked.

"Of course, the prefect remembered that the people brother was a famous Confucian in Nanjing, and if he dismissed his official for no reason, I am afraid it will cause a lot of sensation; However, the academy has the truth of making fun of the people and is better to start, so in the name of confiscation, it intends to eradicate the basic principle of our propaganda of reform, and by the way, it also breaks the face of the people. ”

"Isn't that helpless?" Yang Huaishen said again.

Xia Yuanlong looked at Wei Huai deeply: "I can only ...... Please and the people, you sacrifice yourself for the righteousness, tear the skin with the government, and fight-for-tat. ”

Both of them were silent, silently looking into Wei Huai's eyes.

"Good!"

Wei Huai snapped, his eyes were like fire, and even the flames on the candlestick were trembling slightly.

"Renying is right, I can't abandon the people because of this, I'm not afraid of losing office, I have to stand with them!" He walked to the table, "Take a pen, study ink, I want to write a book to defend my grievances!" ”

'Nanjing Guozi Priest Jiu Wei Huai presented the prefect's book: Huaijiu has been responsible for innovation for a long time, and has planned for the important government of the people, and has been loyal to his duties and has not exceeded his duties. Covered with two friends, he set up a college, and only preached morality and letters, and there was no other hope. I would like to follow the righteousness of allusions and reject the principles of evil and delusion, which can be said to abide by the rules of the sages. However, the government was extremely conservative with the old law, and it was clearly forbidden to say new things, and even angered the academy and seized it at every turn; Under the thunder, it is all scorched earth. Let me ask the government officer, I am a citizen of Nanjing, fighting for my own disadvantage, and looking forward to good governance, what is the fault? What is the sin of plugging the way of the thoroughfare, drinking rude officials? They hope that the government can help the embarrassment of the people, and the government hopes that I can stop talking. I am now the official of the government: I wish to withdraw the false name of sacrificial wine, and the responsibility of the academy. The choice is in the office, whether to advance or retreat, and there is no worry! ’

"Bold!" When the prefect saw the end, his face turned red, and in anger, he crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it in the basket.

"Someone! Go and remove Wei Huai's officials, let him go, and ask those Diao people to give him support! ”

As he spoke, his chest was still tight, and when he came to the door, he was still incomprehensible, and he shouted like a thunderbolt:

"Convict Wei Huai, escort me to the number room!"

"Yes!"
