Chapter 402 Wei Zheng goes to the palace
The hall is very warm, because there are many stoves in the corners of the hall, and the stoves have chimneys connected to the hollow walls, and there are ventilation holes in the front and back of the walls, which will blow away the smoke.
After Yang Guang rummaged through the eucalyptus in front of him, he took out a book of music, and after reading it, he said:
"I heard that during the days when I was not in Beijing, there was a Hebei scholar who scolded my two sons?"
As soon as the emperor said this, the ministers subconsciously looked at each other, and everyone knew that the decisive battle began........
Yushitai doctor Zhang Heng stood up and said:
"Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a person, born in Hebei Julu, named Wei Zheng, this person's father Wei Changxian was the old Qitun Liuxian County Commander before his death, and his grandfather Wei Yan was the assassin of Guangzhou in the old Wei Dynasty, which is considered to be the home of the official eunuch, and this person is currently a disciple of Wang Tong, a famous scholar in Hedong."
Yang Guang frowned and said, "Wang Tong? Is it the original Guozijian Wang Long, the son of Wang Bogao? β
"It's this person," Zhang Heng said: "This person is currently teaching in Beijing, and there are already six hundred protΓ©gΓ©s, and King Xingyang is now also a disciple of Wang Tong." β
Yang Guang snorted coldly: "What the hell is this person?" Can he teach my grandson? β
Zhang Heng said: "This person is very knowledgeable, and he enjoys a good reputation in Hedong, and his disciples privately call him Wenzhongzi, and the minister has also worked hard to investigate, and he is indeed a great talent." β
Yang Guang suddenly sneered: "Wen Zhongzi? I Ching has a saying: Huang Shang Yuanji, Wen Zaizhong, which means that the gentleman Huang Zhong is reasonable, is in the body, beauty is in it, and Chang in the four branches, born in the career, the beauty is also, does he deserve this title? β
Yu Wenshu stood up directly and said: "This person is only in his twenties, and he dares to call him 'Zi' in private, he is really a Confucian thief, and he must not be the teacher of the king of Xingyang." β
Zi is the honorific title of the founder of a certain school or a person with outstanding achievements in ancient China, and it can also be the honorific title of a scholar with admirable knowledge and character.
Under normal circumstances, it must be recognized by the emperor to be considered orthodox, and Wang Tong's Wenzhongzi was recognized in the later Tang Dynasty, but Yang Guang did not recognize it, because the current Wang Tong is still young and has not yet reached the height of old age.
Wang Tong was invited by Pei Ju, Yu Wenshu didn't know, if he knew, he wouldn't stand up and pick a thorn, because Pei Ju would end up protecting people.
Sure enough, Pei Ju said with a smile: "It's just a private honorific title for his disciples, there is no need for Xu Gongguo to make a fuss, it is Wei Zheng who scolds people, not Wang Tong." β
Yuwenshu saw Pei Ju's end, and knew that this matter was over, don't argue with Pei Ju anymore, Pei Laogou's mouth can turn black into white.
Pei Ju waved his hand at Yang Guang and said:
"Before and after learning, the master is the teacher, Wang Tong came to Beijing for only a year, and many of my children in Guanzhong have worshiped his disciples, and it can be known that he is knowledgeable, and the minister thinks that His Majesty may be able to call into the country to teach."
Wang Tong's set of doctrines was aimed at the emperor, but at the moment the emperor of the Great Sui did not need it, and the courtiers under the emperor did not need it, because in his academic proposition, the word "admonishment" was also highlighted, which meant that the emperor had something wrong and should be pointed out as a courtier.
Yang Guang's dictionary doesn't have this word at all.
Didn't Pei Ju know that Yang Guang didn't like this person? Why do you want to recommend the other party to enter the national prison?
This trick is called advancing and retreating.
He was worried that the emperor would clean up Wang Tong because of the three words in the text, so he directly provided the emperor with an opportunity to refute Wang Tong, so that although Wang Tong did not have a chance to enter the Guozijian, he saved his life.
Sure enough, Yang Guang snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that if you are not a person who sells your reputation and reputation, how can you enter the country and mislead people's children, there is no need to mention this matter." β
Yang Guang knew very well in his heart that he couldn't use Wang Tong's set, and his successor couldn't use it, but the next generation might not be.
No matter what Confucianism, it was used by the emperor, but this use was also time-split, sometimes it was beneficial, and sometimes it was harmful.
This is why there are many emperors in history, one will respect Confucianism, one will respect Buddha, and sometimes also respect Tao, because it is determined by the current situation.
What deposes the hundred schools of thought and respects Confucianism, what Huang Lao's way of doing nothing, and Buddhism's life is hard, accumulating merit for retribution in the next life.
Wu Zetian Venerable Buddha, why? Because Confucianism does not recognize women as emperors, and Li Tang Taoism is the state religion, they do not support her, who else can she respect if she does not respect Buddha?
Wang Tong's appearance, even if it is in the past, Yang Guang has no intention of killing, and Pei Ju has come forward to protect people, so naturally there is no need to hold on to it.
So Yang Guang said: "Take that Hebei scholar who spoke wildly to the main hall, I want to see who this person is, what a rebellious dog barking man." β
After a while, the Criminal Department had already brought people in.
Wei Zheng was robbed once, he didn't die, he lived in the prison of the Criminal Department for so long, but he ate fat, it can be seen that the food in the prison is good, or Wei Zheng wants to be a full ghost.
The chains locked on him, good guy, I don't know and think it's a lock zombie, circle after circle, it's hard for him to step through the threshold of the main hall under such a load.
It is not clear whether Wei Zheng was a person who regarded death as his home before, but now he is definitely so, because he feels that he cannot escape death.
Since it's all death, what else is there to be afraid of? I'm not plotting a big rebellion, and the punishment can't fall on me, insulting the emperor's relatives and relatives is at most a hanging, and a corpse can be found.
After this kid came in, he knelt down towards Yang Guang and shouted:
"Sinners meet His Majesty the Emperor."
Yang Guang found out the confession of the Criminal Department interrogating Wei Zheng from several eucalyptus, and then threw it down the hall and said:
"In this confession, you insulted King Qi for nothing, and offended your dignity, what is your intention?"
Wei Zheng said calmly: "The sage has a saying, heaven and earth are great, the emperor is respected, the king of Qi is not the emperor, nor is he the teacher of the grass people, how can he be respected?" The grass people scolded it on behalf of the people, inherited the will of heaven, benefited the people, and the middle was the Jiangshan Sheji of my Great Sui, and he was selfless. β
Yang Guang frowned suddenly, dog thing, even my son is not in his eyes?
He didn't have to speak anymore, at this time, some people would stand up and refute Wei Zheng.
Niu Hong was the first to say: "The people's mansions are still divided into east and west, and the children in the family are also different from each other. β
"It's not my despise," Wei Zheng said: "If the people scold it, the people respect it, and the people who are light are cheap." β
I joined your mother, how dare you call me cheap? Yang Jun was furious, but he was still trying to suppress his anger, where did this go? It's not my turn yet.
Yu Shiji said directly: "Such a rebellious and arrogant person, who despises the prince and barks at the court, please kill him immediately." β
Gao Xi stood up and said: "Sooner or later, you have to kill, but before you kill, you might as well listen to him and tell him why he insulted the two princes." β
"Dugu Gong, is this a guarantor?" Yu Shiji was bold and said directly to the line: "A commoner dares to insult the prince? To say that this person has no backstage, I don't believe it. β
Gao Xi sneered: "What kind of backstage do you think can keep him?" The old man doesn't have this ability. β
"Yu Shilang has always liked to say something ridiculous in the court," Shangshu Zuo Cheng Yang Wensi sneered:
"Just like the last time you slandered the princess, then who was the backstage for Yu Shilang in the first place, so that you dared to slander the princess with humility?"
Yu Shiji refuted: "Which ear did you hear me slandering the princess?" Your Majesty is here, so you can't confuse the Holy Hearing and give me a hat. β
"Your own hat is crooked," Yang Xuangan sneered, "Do you need us to buckle it for you?" β
"Okay........" Yang Ming took the initiative to speak for the first time: "I also want to hear how people scold me." β
As soon as he spoke, the Qin Wangdang naturally wouldn't speak anymore, but Yuwen couldn't do it, so he just listened to him:
"This is the Daxing Palace, which is a place of righteousness and light, how can you let some foul language defile the court?"
Yang Ming retorted: "In the land of righteousness and light, how can a few foul words be defiled? Just like the gossip about Xu Guogong outside, this king doesn't believe it, it's the same. β
"Oh?" Pei Ju said: "What are the rumors outside? β
Why don't you have a stubble, Yu Wenshu hurriedly said: "Those who are clear are self-purifying." β
Don't look at Yang Yue in Henan, people are not idle, Jingshi has started to walk early in the morning to some news that is not conducive to Yuwenshu, such as the encirclement of Mintian and the unfortunate things that his three good sons usually do.
Pei Ju smiled and didn't say anything more.
And the emperor's eyes now also looked at Wei Zheng, and it was obvious that Yang Guang also wanted to listen to what the other party had to say, although the confession was already very detailed.
Su Wei said to Wei Zheng: "Your Majesty today, magnanimous and benevolent, although you are disrespectful and cannot escape the death penalty, but before the execution, you still have a chance to speak." β
Wei Zheng let out a long breath, looked up at Yang Xuan, and said:
"I don't know if King Qi has been sleeping peacefully recently?"
Yang Yun's teeth are about to crush, how do I know what you want to say? Don't you just want to say that so many people have died in Hebei, and there will be ghosts coming to me? Keep me from sleeping?
Hmph, Lao Tzu slept very well.
Yang chose not to answer.
People ignored him, Wei Zheng smiled, and looked at Yang Ming again:
"I heard that the King of Qin heard about the affairs of Hebei, and he couldn't sleep peacefully at night, so he suffered from the disease of not sleeping, it can be seen that although the King of Qin is suspected of being a bystander, he is slack, but he still has a little conscience, and he also knows that every family in Hebei is vegetarian, every household has a new grave, women and children have nothing to rely on, young sons have nothing to rely on, hungry people are all over the wilderness, and the scene of life is miserable, which is really unseen in a hundred years, can King Qin not be ashamed?"
I'm sorry, it's not convenient for me to answer you, Yang Ming was silent.
Gao Xi frowned and said: "The affairs of Hebei are not under the control of the King of Qin, and the affairs of the canal, the King of Qin can't manage either, everyone has their own things to do, the King of Qin is entrusted by His Majesty to sit in Beijing, and it is not easy to manage government affairs. β
After that, Gao Xi looked at Yan Bi, who was already covered in cold sweat, and said:
"As the chief eunuch of the canal, Hebei has come to this point, and Yan Gong is hard to blame."
Yan Bi trembled all over, trembling like chaff.
