Chapter 536: The First Shot Firing
Guo Dynasty Zaifu was beaten on the street, and the bridge of his nose was almost broken, which can be regarded as infuriating the emperor.
It is rumored that when the emperor heard this, he immediately became furious and ordered the dragon guards to send people out of the Shuntianfu prison, vowing to find out the people standing behind him and punish the nine clans.
Regardless of whether this rumor of the Zhujiu clan is true or not, the Dragon Guard's Ti Cavalry searched all over the city to find criminals.
Those who were still gloating, let alone gather to protest, went to the palace gate to meditate, and immediately ran back home trembling and did not dare to stay outside, for fear that if one of them said the wrong thing carelessly, they would be caught by the dragon guards and sent to prison.
"Xiangye entrusted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ask His Majesty, which spared the man's capital crime, and even sent him home......"
Ergou is worthy of being the bag of Rongguo Mansion to inquire, and he can really inquire about any news.
Of course, this should also be done deliberately by Zhou Jiong.
"Xiangye also asked his subordinates to bring a message, and his old man said that the third master must not get involved in this matter, Xiangye has his own plans."
Needless to say, Old Man Zhou is planning to take advantage of this to make a big deal, but he doesn't know how far he wants to go.
"It's too much! The Prime Minister is already seventy years old, and he should suffer such a catastrophe......"
To say that the most indignant person in Rongguo's mansion about this matter is not Jia Cong, but Baoyu, who has not much intersection with him.
This is also the nature of Bao Erye, bullying an ancient old man, or an old man for the country and the people, how can Bao Er Ye not be angry!
Before the people entered the courtyard, the sound of indignant scolding reached the ears of Jia Cong and Daiyu.
The two looked at each other, both smiling.
"Don't you know, after the imperial doctor returned to the palace from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he said that the Prime Minister was so dizzy that he couldn't even eat. Several elders of the Tai Hospital said that the Great Prime Minister was damaged and did not know if he could recover. Tell me that the prime minister is for the country and the people, but he has to suffer such a catastrophe, and you can't even find out the real culprit behind the scenes, isn't this dereliction of duty? ”
Sure enough, when Baoyu walked into the courtyard, the first thing he did was to complain to Jia Cong.
After scolding those "dereliction of duty" officials, Bao Erye's anger dissipated a little, and he arched his hand at the two of them: "Brother Cong, Sister Lin...... Siblings...... Forget it, let's call you Sister Lin to get used to it. ”
"It's just a title, cousin can shout whatever he wants."
Daiyu will not be separated from Baoyu because of the title, and in the end she is a relative who grew up together.
She poured a cup of tea for Baoyu, who was sitting down, and gave Jia Cong a look.
Jia Cong immediately understood and said, "Second Brother Bao, originally I asked Ling to come back because I wanted to ask Second Brother Bao for help, but now it seems that this matter can be regarded as following your thoughts. ”
"Oh? Brother Cong said quickly, is it for the sake of the public? ”
is worthy of Baoyu, who is clear-minded, as long as he is willing to ponder, it is difficult to find him a thing.
Jia Cong praised it, and then explained: "Second Brother Bao also knows about Zhou Ge's old affairs. It's not that you can't find out the person behind the scenes, but the person behind it, whether it's Your Majesty or Zhou Gelao, you can't find a suitable way to deal with it for a while......"
Well?
Baoyu suddenly remembered the biggest incident in the past few days, and was a little incredulous.
"You mean, behind this man, are those scholars?"
Jia Cong nodded, and replied: "To be correct, it is a scholar who is dissatisfied with Zhou Ge's desire to reinterpret the saint's classics!" ”
Syllable!
Baoyu slapped the stone table suddenly, ignoring the pain in his palm, and said fiercely: "It's too much to deceive!" As the leader of Confucianism, the Great Prime Minister reinterprets the scriptures for the sake of the original source, and they actually want to destroy the future of my literature and Taoism for their own selfish interests......"
With that, Baoyu got up to leave.
Jia Cong grabbed him: "What are you going to do with Second Brother Bao?" ”
"What else can I do? Of course, it is to enter the palace and face the saint! Shouldn't such lawless people be arrested? ”
Baoyu's face was filled with indignation and doubt.
He stared at Jia Cong suspiciously, and asked: "It is said that the prime minister has a deep relationship with you, and you usually have a temperament that does not tolerate sand in your eyes, but you are indifferent to today's affairs, you shouldn't be!" ”
"It's worthy of Second Brother Bao, this insight is really unspeakable!"
Jia Cong raised his thumb to Baoyu, and Daiyu on the side also laughed and said that his cousin has good eyesight.
Daiyu winked playfully and said to Jia Cong: "You better make it clear to your cousin, so as not to miss a big thing." ”
"Good...... Second Brother Bao sit down and wait for me to tell you slowly. ”
There are some things that are really better for Baoyu to do, after all, those who are familiar with Baoyu know his temperament.
If you want to say who in the world is the most disdainful and disgusted with today's science, I am afraid that the second master of Rongguo Mansion is definitely the answer that many people can blurt out.
Baoyu had long published in newspapers his opposition to certain current views and stereotypes, and even questioned the interpretation of certain Confucian classics.
But the response was either a mockery of him or a direct argument with him.
It is also thanks to his special status, both a noble and a young man who has not dried up, although those great Confucians are quite dissatisfied with his deviance, they will not persecute too much.
If it was at Xu Jin's age or some old Confucian students, it is estimated that they would have been hung up and burned to death by those people.
"Second Brother Bao must understand one thing, this matter is not just a court fight, its essence is a battle of faith. You've probably heard of sectarian strife in the West......"
Baoyu was suddenly startled when she heard Jia Cong's question, and then couldn't help but shudder.
With the introduction of overseas affairs to the Central Plains in recent years, he has heard a lot of stories of religious struggles in the West.
There are too many people burned to death by the church!
"So, don't underestimate it. This is a fuse, a raging fire is about to ignite, and it will be a war to the death. If you win, the beautiful world in Brother Bao's heart will come. Lose, as dark as you can imagine, will rule this world for hundreds or even millennia! ”
……
Baoyu sat in the duty room of the news department, staring blankly at the clouds in the sky outside the window.
It's going to rain!
"Brother Cong once said that some people, just because they say that the earth is round, are chased by a group of people who think they are righteous, shouting and shouting and beating."
"Isn't that what you're talking about?"
Alas...... Sure enough, those who hold the truth are alone!
Baoyu picked up the pen and wrote a line on the paper.
"Those who reason, and those who have desires. Everything is done in desire, and there is nothing to do without desire. There is desire and then there is action, and there is action and it is not easy to return to the reason. If you don't want to do anything, what is reasonable?"
The circulation of the "Beijing Evening News" is so large that it can spread to almost all strata of the capital.
With the in-depth implementation of compulsory education, students in public schools often carry a penny newspaper with them when they go home.
In particular, the "Beijing Evening News" not only has announcements of the issuance of the laws and decrees of the country, but also magical legends, as well as big debates that are launched at every turn.
Today's second edition once again published Yi Honggongzi's article, which has thousands of words, and the whole article is four words - etiquette and cannibalism.
Then it extended from the ritual of cannibalism to this ritual, is it a ritual advocated by a saint......
Although Yihong Gongzi did not elaborate on the gift of the saint in the article, as long as it is a person who has read the book, who does not know that the words of the saint are thousands of years ago.
And what the words of the saint mean, it has long been carefully dressed up according to their ideas, and dressed up as a "graceful" girl.
Baoyu's cannon reached the hearts of the people.
In fact, with the advent of the prosperous era, the aura of Great Xia Wenhua soared, and people of insight had long questioned the current science.
The long-accumulated dissatisfaction has long been waiting for an opportunity.
And Baoyu's article is this opportunity. In just one night, it set off a monstrous wave in the capital, making the capital turbulent, and even affecting the court.
"Cun Zhou, Ling Lang is too bold!"
Lu Yang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, found Jia Zheng's duty room for the first time, and said distressed and vaguely: "Zai Fu is still recuperating from his injuries, and now the court can't withstand too much shock, you go back and persuade Ling Lang, don't stir up trouble again." ”
If this was before, Master Zheng would have rushed home to get a big stick and take Baoyu, but today not only did he not accept Lu Yang's words, but choked back: "Why does Uncle Zong say this about my son?" The ancients said that the lord of Mang's favor was questioned, so his subordinates had no faith and did their best. Now my son has a question and wants to find an answer in the newspaper, why not? ”
"This ......"
Lu Yang couldn't answer Jia Zheng's question, because even Sage Kong had said that he was keen and studious, and he was not ashamed to ask.
Jia Baoyu did not explicitly challenge the science of science in the newspaper, but only asked whether the rites advocated by the current science of science were the same as the rites proposed by the sage......
On the contrary, those people who studied science, as if their ancestral graves had been dug up early in the morning, rushed to the Ministry of Rites with newspapers and white faces, insisting that he, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, should seize the Information Department and punish Jia Jiabaoyu.
Lu Yang also has a headache, although he is also a science person, he is a reasonable science person.
This kind of thing that can't argue is about to pout other people's pens, and he really can't do it.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm ...... Alas, forget it, and let him go......"
Lu Yang didn't know how to talk to Jia Zheng, this matter itself was a mess, didn't he see that the emperor and Zai Fu both compromised and retreated to the science lord?
He wanted to leave, but Jia Zheng grabbed his sleeve.
"Uncle Zong, don't be in a hurry to leave. Xia Guan has something to ask the great uncle......"
Lu Yang was shocked in his heart, and turned around to show a bitter smile.
But seeing Jia Zheng tidying up his clothes, he bowed solemnly: "May I ask the great uncle, the dynasty is not guilty of words, my holy way of learning, can I tolerate different words?" Do the people of science regard my son as a young man and want to punish him with the words of a saint? ”
……
"Science and science, this is treating the second brother of Bao as a young man, and he wants to punish him quickly!"
An article questioning science and etiquette seems to have caused the entire capital to fall into public anger.
On the way to the News Division, Baoyu's carriage was hit by stones more than ten times and had to return to Rongguofu halfway.
On the contrary, it was Zhou Xiangye's house, and the protesters who were originally blocked at the door diverted their eyes and ended up quiet for a while.
Jia Cong really implemented the boss's advice, and he didn't even go out of the house, and the second dog kept passing the news and began to fish in troubled waters.
It's just bitter Baoyu, Menzi has run more than ten times in a row, and every time he can bring a thick stack of articles.
The Great Debate Begins!
Daiyu finished reading an article at hand and smiled bitterly.
They thought they were Confucian saints, and thought that their cousin's words were deviant and heretical, and vowed to kill the evil and return to the right path. I don't even know how this is going to end! ”
She looked at Jia Cong, who was there, and secretly kicked his foot lightly.
This incident dragged Baoyu in, and I don't know whether it is good or bad. After all, Baoyu has a pure nature, and if she can't get it, she will have to fold in this war without gunpowder.
However, Daiyu still underestimated Bao Erye, at this time he was full of fighting spirit, and he couldn't wait to fight him with a pen for three days and three nights.
Whew......
The pen and ink were converted into words, and Baoyu quickly finished writing an article, drying the ink and handing it to Jia Cong.
"Brother Cong will help me take a look, and if there is no mistake or omission, I will send it to the Information Division......"
As he spoke, he didn't lift his head, just frowned at another article that refuted him.
"How many copies is this?"
"Seventh!"
Jia Cong was shocked by Baoyu's combat effectiveness, according to the calculation of more than 1,000 words, Baoyu had already written seven or eight thousand words of debate articles in less than a day, and each of them was a quote from a classic.
When did he remember the saint's books so clearly?
Hasn't he always been averse to historical articles?
Jia Cong was shocked to put forward his article, but saw that Baoyu always maintained a state of quick browsing and hard writing, and immediately replied: "Knowing yourself and knowing that you have won all battles, you are still the marquis of the dynasty, and you have forgotten the inheritance of our family?" In order to fight this battle, I memorized all the four books and five classics again last night......"
Good guy, Jia Cong can only say that Bao Er Ye is worthy of being Bao Er Ye, and this brain is not comparable to ten Jia Cong.
"Without the slightest mistake, my cousin's article refuted almost all of the man's opinions. And behind each item, it is indicated that it is from that book, and even points out the man's misinterpretation of the words of the saint! ”
Daiyu is also well-read, but this will have to let the maid move out of the house to collect books, and start to check whether there are any mistakes in the notes in Baoyu's article.
This check startled her, Baoyu really did every point of view, and it could correspond to the words of the sage in a certain classic.
Jia Cong took the article from Daiyu's hand, solemnly put it away, and then asked the soldiers to come over and send it to the News Department quickly.
"This battle is really cool!"
Daiyu nodded: "As long as the News Department prints these people's articles together with my cousin's articles, as long as they are people who can understand them, they will not refute them." ”
Baoyu, who had been writing hard, suddenly raised her head with a solemn face.
He shook his head and said, "Sister Lin still underestimates these people too much, even if I invite Sage Kong and his old man out, they will ignore the facts and kill Sage Kong and say it's fake!" ”
