Chapter Thirty-Four: The Battle of Tongues

Jiajing closed his eyes and meditated in the cigarette-filled meditation house, seemingly calm as water, but Huang Jin magically comprehended the feeling of becoming more and more dissatisfied on his motionless face.

Huang Jin quietly taught an attendant and muttered a few words. After a while, Huang Jin returned to the Jingshen Lodge, with exaggerated surprise on his face, but stood beside Jiajing without saying a word.

Jiajing slowly opened his eyes: "When?" "If you are a waiter who lacks heart, you must take a look at the sundial at this time and report the time to the emperor. But is Huang Jin that kind of waste?

Huang Jin bowed his head: "Long live, it's almost time." The servants heard that Xiao Gongzi's mansion was besieged by the scholars of the Hanlin Academy, and they were debating at this time. It is estimated that Xiao Gongzi may not be able to enter the palace today. ”

Jiajing was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth provoked a sneer: "Interesting, Lu Bing's side is not moving?" ”

Huang Jin nodded: "Yesterday, Lu Bing went and returned, and confessed to Long Live that Xiao Feng was the son of Xiao Wannian in his old department, and if there was no Long Live Purpose, he would not easily interfere in Xiao Feng's affairs." ”

Jiajing's smile was a little more warm: "Lu Bing is a cautious and honest person, and he protected Xiao Feng before, which was an old friend." Xiao Wannian was just upset, and Nazhi County did cheat, not against my recruitment of show girls. However, the Yan family was at a loss, for such a big matter, it was inevitable that there would be a little mistake occasionally. ”

Huang Jin was silent, he knew that this was the emperor's attitude. It is impossible for the Yan family to blame, they are helping him do things, and if they want to blame, they can only blame Xiao Wannian for being nosy. However, since Xiao Feng has now become a junior disciple inexplicably, he naturally will not blame a dead person, so he excuses himself like this.

Lu Bing must have also determined Jiajing's attitude towards Xiao Feng, so he would tell the truth, otherwise he would definitely continue to pretend to be confused. Honest people, hehe, the honest people in the court have long since died, and those who can still breathe are not honest.

Huang Jin asked tentatively: "Long live, do you want Lu Bing to properly protect and control the situation to avoid hurting Xiao Gongzi?" ”

Jiajing closed his eyes and said lightly, "No need." Xiao Feng's determination to enter the world and cultivate will inevitably offend people from all walks of life. If someone secretly assassinated him, Lu Bing would naturally protect him without command. Now it's just a group of powerless Hanlin students, if Xiao Feng can't even deal with these people, dare to say that he is a disciple of Cangjie, Wen Xuan Zhenren? ”

Huang Jin smiled silently. Xiao Feng, long live trusting a person, it will never be a one-off, let alone forever. You have to prove yourself, and keep proving yourself, to keep your position in the Banzai trust.

At this time, Xiao Feng's house was already surrounded by the powerless Hanlin scholars, and the momentum was extremely huge.

Although there are only more than 20 people in the Hanlin Academy, there are 30 or 40 scholars who have no official positions. These more than 60 people are crowded in Yangliu Alley, which is already very amazing.

What's more, there are still a large number of talented people in the capital, and when they heard that the Hanlin scholars went to besiege a Confucian traitor, they immediately called friends and went together. The people in the world who are most willing to be beaten and besieged are not the underworld, but the scholars, which has always been the case throughout the ages.

What's more, the fierceness of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty was the number one in the ranks of all dynasties, and there were several cases of civil officials beating military attaches to death in the main hall. Therefore, as soon as these vigorous scholars entered Yangliu Lane, they scared these petty officials to close their homes, for fear that they would have a bad official reputation recently and be smashed by these powerless guys.

At the knock on the door like a drum, Xiao Feng slowly got up, washed his face, walked out of the door, and stood in the middle of the courtyard.

Qiao Niang, who was already standing in the yard, had weak legs and did not dare to open the door when she stood in front of the gate. Qiaoqiao held the embroidered spring knife left by Xiao Wannian, as if he was facing a great enemy. It's just that she's too short, not much longer than a knife, and she looks quite funny.

Miss Wang next door also stepped on the small bench to probe this way, and her mother kept pulling her and asked her to hurry back to the house. For some anxious readers, seeing that the gate would not be opened, had already climbed up the wall and probed into it to shout.

Xiao Feng reached out and took the embroidered spring knife from Qiaoqiao's hand, waved it twice, and then dragged it across the bamboo chair, sat down with the golden knife, the sword was on the ground, and let Qiaoqiao stand behind him, raising his chin: "Open the door." ”

Qiao Niang opened the latch, and the Hanlin scholars outside the door rushed in. Suddenly half of the courtyard was full. The people in the back were still squeezing forward, but the people in front saw the embroidered spring knife in Xiao Feng's hand, and they stopped in a hurry, and suddenly became a mess.

After a long day of chaos, these people lined up under the command of a bachelor-in-waiting. The bachelor with the highest official rank did not come, according to the order of the bachelor, the bachelor, and the scholar, etc., in the front, and those scholars in the capital who came to join in the excitement and help the fist, were not qualified to enter the courtyard, and could only climb the wall to look inside.

From a distance, the Xiao family's small courtyard looks like a huge ginseng fruit tree, full of ginseng fruits, crowded with people, Sun Wukong will definitely be able to drop a large piece with a stick.

Xiao Feng looked at this group of Hanlin bachelors coldly, Qiao Niang and Qiao Qiao stood on both sides of him, and Miss Wang's little head was exposed on the wall behind him, quite heroic.

"What do you have to do when you come to my Xiao family?"

Someone shouted: "You abandon Confucianism and follow the Tao, for my Confucianism and scum, how can we sit idly by and ignore me?" ”

Xiao Feng looked at the shouting person and smiled contemptuously: "Why is Confucianism so great?" After reading Confucian books, you can no longer learn other people's things, otherwise you will be scum. None of the national decrees prohibit a person from learning only one kind of knowledge, and Confucianism is greater than the national decrees? In the name of Confucianism, you ignore the laws of the state, do you want to rebel? ”

As soon as the words came out, there was silence, especially the person who was shouting just now, who took two steps back with a pale face, not knowing what to say.

Why do you say that I rebelled if you don't agree with each other, you are even more ruthless than Yan Shifan! Yan Dang framed others and had to find a case or something, and you said that I want to rebel with one sentence? But why is it that what he said is obviously a fallacy, and he can't refute it? If a person is more lenient than the laws and regulations of the state, he is indeed suspected of rebellion!

Another guy immediately stepped forward: "You don't have to chew on words and frame good people. We don't say that your cultivation is wrong, we only say that you have no talent to learn, so you abandon Confucianism and Taoism, and cater to sycophants in order to make luck, do you recognize this? ”

Xiao Feng sneered: "You are a little smarter than him, but it's a pity that you are limited." You say that I have no talent to learn, but I have a reputation for showing talent, a person who has no talent to learn won the show talent, are you talking about the fraud of the academic and political teachers back then?

Do you know that the academic and political teacher of my middle school Xiucai is the current Hanlin Academy, when the second assistant of the court, Lord Xu Zisheng, are you saying that he cheated, or that he was blind? ”

This Shujishi was also speechless, and the other person immediately picked up: "Every year, there are more talents, and the academic and political teachers are looking for pearls in the sea, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions and mistakes." Maybe you still cheated yourself, but you didn't find out at the time! ”

Xiao Feng nodded appreciatively: "Your brain is okay." Then I ask you, saying that I am a sycophant in order to get lucky. How am I sycophant, how am I catered to? If you can't tell the truth and prove it, can it be that the disciples of the saints just rely on their mouths to open the river and accuse others at will? ”

The man was also speechless for a while, after all, it was easy to accuse, but to come up with evidence, they had only heard about Xiao Feng when he entered the palace, not to mention what Xiao Feng had done in the palace. What everyone knows is that Xiao Feng tested a word, and Jiajing was happy and sealed the real person, as for how to cater to him, I really don't know.

This is a tall young man with upright eyebrows and a straight eyebrow Standing up and saying: "Xiao Gongzi doesn't have to be reasonable, you abandon the text and follow the Tao, this is a fact; It is also a fact that he was sealed as a real person because of the test of one word. If it weren't for the lack of literary talent, why not take the road of the imperial examination; If it weren't for sycophancy, why would it suddenly be high.

If you can't get through a rational word in everything, why is it wrong for us to be reasonable? If there is a mistake, you point it out, it seems that the words are sharp, but in fact the truth is avoided, so why bother to learn from such sophists? ”

The voice was clear, well-reasoned, and convincing. The readers suddenly gained the backbone, and they all said yes, and the momentum rose again.

Xiao Feng put away his contemptuous sneer, and looked at this person with a straight face: "Your Excellency has a little meaning when you speak, I don't know the name of Gao?" ”

The young Shu Jishi arched his hand: "Under the door of Lord Xu of the Xiazhang Courtyard, Zhang Juzheng, the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy." ”
