14. Imperial Meetings (continued)
……
Liu Ce wanted to continue to talk to Yang Sicheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, but after thinking about it carefully, this technical house has always been diligent and diligent, and he couldn't think of what to say, so he asked everyone directly: "By the way, is Wang Daofu's husband still outside the palace gate?" ”
Xu Wenjing replied: "Your Majesty, it's been six days, and this Wang Daofu is really a bit excessive, pulling a group of Jinling students to block the palace gate every day, seriously affecting Your Majesty's reputation." ”
Liu Ce leaned back slightly: "So what is he making trouble?" I am very curious, what is it that makes Wang Daofu, a great Confucian, not hesitate to pull mountains and wade through rivers and run from thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River to Chang'an to make trouble? ”
Ye Bin said: "Your Majesty, this Wang Daofu said that Jingdi had a great disaster this year, and the court would not save him when he saw death, so he wanted to ask for his life for the people of Jingdi, and implored His Majesty to send food for disaster relief." ”
When Liu Ce heard this, his face sank slightly, and before he could speak, Ram Gao preemptively said: "This Wang Daofu is indeed unreasonable, Weichen has seen him once,
He also handed over the new newspaper to him, but Wang Daru didn't even read a word, and said that the content of the newspaper was compiled by the imperial court to deceive the people. ”
Fa Ji immediately got up: "Although it has only been three years since the founding of our country, it has not been a day or two since the newspapers were distributed in various parts of the Far East.
Whether it is the Han Times, or literature, poetry, entertainment, and miscellaneous publications, each of which has been strictly inspected and confirmed by the printing house, this Wang Daofu dares to assert that the newspaper is fake without looking at it.
This kind of pedantic and stubborn person is also worthy of the word Confucianism? It's really insulting to the reputation of a real reader, and Wechen should carefully check his details.
If there is a violation of the law of the Han Dynasty, it will be severely punished! ”
Qin Mo sighed: "Most Confucian scholars in the Central Plains are like this, holding a book of sages all day long to memorize, but they don't work, like maggots attached to the bones, relying on the support of the scholars behind them to act recklessly,
There are really few aspiring Confucian students like Xin Qixuan and Zhuge Zhi, and Weichen thinks that Ram Shangshu should be the same as this official, and he has a deep understanding of this. ”
Ram Gao closed his eyes and shook his head with a serious face, which can be regarded as acquiescing to what Qin Mo said, the current situation of the Confucian school, why is he not being excluded as a Confucian outlier?
Regarding Wang Daofu's opinion, the attitude of the six Shangshu is rare and unprecedented, thinking that this is just a bastard who has nothing to do, and there is no difference between Kong Yifu, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy who was degraded a year ago.
Liu Ce leaned on the side of the table, his right arm resting on half of his cheek, his left hand tapped the tabletop, and after thinking for a moment, he shouted softly: "Supervisor Wang!" ”
"The old slave is here!"
As soon as the words fell, a figure stood respectfully beside Liu Ce from the screen of the Shanhe Society behind the dragon chair.
He was wearing eunuch clothes, and he was the eunuch of the former dynasty who served Liu Ce, Wang Xiaoyu, and it was estimated that he was also the last eunuch in the Central Plains.
Liu Ce said to Wang Xiaoyu: "Order someone to prepare a pair of tables and chairs, and invite Wang Daofu to the palace, remember not to neglect others." ”
"The old slave obeys."
Wang Xiaoyu led the order out of the main hall and walked briskly outside the gate of Weiyang Palace.
……
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you really want to be a faint monarch who has been stinking for thousands of years?"
"If you start a war with the Monroe people with all your might, where can you put the lives of the people on the frontier?"
"Your Majesty! Come out and take a look, Jingdi is starving all over the wilderness, don't you just ignore it? ”
"Oh my God! Open your eyes and save the people of the Central Plains! Oh my God! ”
Outside the palace gate, Wang Daofu and a group of students still knelt on the ground and shouted to the sky, attracting countless passers-by to watch, pointing at him.
"Who the hell is this old man?"
"Who knows, kneeling outside the palace gate every day and shouting, the devil knows what he is going to do!"
"It's also thanks to the kindness of our Majesty, if the emperor of the previous dynasty were replaced, believe it or not, he would have been dragged and cut down long ago if he made such a fuss."
"yes, I don't know what he wants to do!"
Regarding Wang Daofu's behavior, the onlookers expressed their incomprehension, if they wanted to express their grievances, they could go to Dongjun Mansion Yin to confide, but the old man made trouble here every day, from morning to night, and no one listened to him.
Wang Daofu was tired of scolding, handed over the tea sent by the students, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then pointed to the surrounding onlookers, and shouted: "You ordinary people, are you watching the old man's jokes?" What the old man is doing, but I ask for your life! ”
When the people heard this, they immediately looked at each other and asked for our lives? What life please? We're living a good life, when do you want to talk about it?
"Hmph, ordinary people, if you don't read the books of sages, you can't understand the great truth, it's just that it's really futile to talk to you!"
Wang Daofu ignored the people, dropped a sentence contemptuously, and then continued to shout......
At this time, Wang Xiaoyu came to the palace gate with a group of guards, and when he saw Wang Daofu still scolding there, his face sank, and he stepped forward slowly and said, "Wang Daru, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace for a while." ”
Wang Daofu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Your Majesty really wants to see the old man?" ”
Wang Xiaoyu crossed his hands and hung down on his lower abdomen, and said, "Naturally, it's true, Wang Daru, don't follow me into the palace yet." ”
Wang Daofu immediately got up with the support of the students, carefully packed up his clothes and appearance, and his face was radiant.
Six days of hard work was not in vain, he really impressed the new monarch in the palace, and after today, his reputation will spread all over the country!
Wang Daofu had already calculated in his heart, and when he saw Liu Ce, the first thing he did was to ask him why he ignored the disaster in Jingdi, the second thing was to ask him why he was reckless, and the third thing was to ask him why he wanted to send officials from all over the south of the Yangtze River to serve prison sentences in the frontier, and finally interfered in Liu Ce's harem affairs and ordered him to abolish the concubine Song Yanran, who was born in the common people.
After Liu Ce felt ashamed, he nodded to him earnestly, and then asked him to restore the old system of the previous dynasty, and the scholars and the royal family ruled the world again, and then made a truce with the Mengluo people, and returned all the Western Regions occupied by the Han army to the Mengluo people.
As long as Liu Ce accepts his advice, then the name of the country will spread all over the country, even if Liu Ce kills himself in anger, he will also get a very loud name, which will have indescribable benefits to his family.
After thinking everything about it, Wang Daofu confidently glanced back at his students, said goodbye to them, and strode into the palace gate.
During the period when Wang Xiaoyu went to invite Wang Daofu into the palace, Liu Ce, Xu Wenjing and other six Shangshu discussed the recent actions of the Chu army, which occupied millions of square kilometers south of the Yangtze River and occupied millions of square kilometers in Qing and Hu prefectures.
Xu Wenjing said: "Your Majesty, these days Weichen has been thinking carefully for a while, the movement of this Chu army is very strange, it seems to have grasped my big man's focus at the Xuanwu Pass at the moment,
Only then did he intend to transfer 200,000 troops to the south of the Changhe River to exert pressure, but judging from the comparison of the military strength of the enemy and us, the Chu army now does not have the strength to clash head-on with the Jingzhou army led by Wu Zhenying. ”
