"There's better news!" When the cheers of the crowd subsided, Dai Liang continued to say in a loud voice:

"The emperor also agreed to rectify Guozi University and immediately re-establish the Temple of Literature on campus."

"Heaven ......"

"Holy blessing......" The civil officials wept bitterly, hugged each other and cried, danced with their hands, and celebrated with their crowns.

The scene of forgetfulness and celebration is enough to show how strong their sense of accomplishment and joy is at the moment.

If they hadn't been able to stand up after kneeling for a long time, they would have to rush up, throw the old ones into the air, and celebrate fiercely.

Song Lian and Hu Han watched this scene with a smile, until someone suddenly asked, "By the way, have the three reforms been abolished?" ”

"......" saw that the smiles on the faces of the four people froze, and the laughter on Fengtianmen Square gradually decreased.

"What, isn't it unfinished?" Zheng Jiuchengba looked at Song Lian and said with a smile: "There is a piece and a half that has not been abolished, and there is no need to ask for full blame." ”

"Yes, you have to save face for the emperor." Xue Xiang and the others also nodded and said, "Which reform was left in the end?" ”

"Not one." Su Boheng said with difficulty.

"Ah, two?" The smiles of the civil servants disappeared completely, and the air in the square began to freeze. "No, there will be three reforms in the Communist Party, and the price will be too great."

"No," Hu Han said quietly, "It's not two, it's three." ”

"What?!" The civil officials exclaimed in unison, unable to believe their ears, Zheng Jiucheng stammered: "Three, the three reforms, have they not been abolished?" ”

"Yes." Song Lian and the four nodded.

"No, how can you say yes?!" Zheng Jiucheng stood up in a hurry, and then fell to the ground with a snap. "Talking about it, all the reforms are unscathed, talking about a chicken?!"

The dignified ceremonial department was in a hurry.

"That's right, what we oppose is reform, and we won't change any of them, where are you guys?!" Many civil officials scolded.

Their position was different from that of the Great Confucians, who wanted to correct their reputations, while the civil officials wanted to use the correct names to abolish the three reforms.

Although they are all disciples of Confucius and Mencius, their identities are different, and their demands are naturally different. This is also the reason why the prince waited for Song Lian to enter Beijing to talk about it, and did not talk to Zheng Jiucheng and Xue Xiang.

"How do you talk?" The Confucians were not happy to hear it, why did we bother to defend the religion and work hard to rescue them, but instead of appreciating it, we scolded it?

"How arbitrary the emperor is, he can get back two of the five things, what is there to be dissatisfied?"

"That's it! Do you leave the position of Confucius and Mencius alone and solve your own problems first? What kind of disciple of Confucius and Mencius is worthy of being called then?! ”

"Don't keep saying that you are righteous for the sake of the two saints, but when the time comes, you just play your own little calculations. We can't say this kind of thing, you don't have a shame, we still want it! ”

"......" faced with the reprimands of the Confucians, the civil officials were speechless.

Because it is a great principle to restore the position of Confucius and Mencius as the two saints. The three reforms have moved the interests of civil servants. Therefore, opposing the three reforms is relatively cautious.

Confucius taught them, 'A gentleman is a man of righteousness, and a villain is of profit', so in the context of Confucianism, the careful thinking of civil officials cannot be said at all, and they can only be pressed to death by the great principles of Confucianism.

Of course, not being angry is certain......

~~

The celebratory atmosphere in Fengtianmen Square was gone, and only sighs remained.

At this time, Hu Weiyong and Cao Guogong led the rest of the court officials into the noon gate and came to stand in front of the Fengtian Gate.

Seeing that the Confucians and civil officials actually had an awkward quarrel, just like an angry father and a stubborn son. Hu Weiyong hurriedly asked Song Lian: "What's wrong?" ”

Song Lian sighed and told Hu Xiang what happened, and Hu Weiyong said to the hundred officials: "This picture has to say two sentences about you - you have to eat one bite at a time, things have to be done one by one, there is no big thing that can be achieved overnight, I always want to be in a hurry, how can I achieve a big thing?" ”

"......" was silent for a moment, and Xue Xiang said in a sullen voice: "What Hu Xiang taught is that we are kneeling at the door this time, with the determination to die, and we must turn everything over." We won't get up until the emperor agrees......"

Before Xue Butang finished speaking, he heard a 'snap', and he was slapped by Hu Weiyong.

Xue Xiang was beaten, covering his face and looking at the angry Hu Weiyong in a daze. The civil officials were also stunned, and they all looked at Hu Xiang in shock.

"A bunch of uncounted things, do you think it's useful for you to kneel at the door?" Hu Weiyong's angry shouts resounded through Fengtianmen Square:

"I might as well tell you clearly that it is useful a little, but not much. On the contrary, in order to save the lives of you people, the prince, Benxiang, Zhongshu Province, Mr. Song, Mr. Dai, they all did their best! ”

"Mr. Song is still from his hometown in Dongyang, day and night, after entering Beijing, he began to run for you non-stop, yesterday to now is a grain of rice has not entered, and his eyes have not closed. What is he anxious about, what are we people anxious about, aren't we just worried that you will die here?! ”

Hu Weiyong's level is higher than that of the Confucians, and his words dispelled the arrogance of the civil officials.

No matter how incorruptible and shameless a person is, he can't be presumptuous in front of the 'life-saving benefactor'.

"Yes, you are not afraid of death, is the emperor afraid? The emperor who came out of the sea of corpses and blood, even if you die a thousand times, ten thousand times, you will not shake his will. Hu Weiyong said earnestly:

"Only by knowing that he is moved by emotion and reason can he make the emperor change his mind. Now among the five things, it is already excellent that the emperor can agree to two things.

"Listen to Benxiang's advice, let's stop here this time, and the restoration of the position of the second saint has been very successful. All the world will praise you. But if you get an inch, the two things you have promised may not be counted, and then you will become a laughing stock! ”

"......" The expressions of the civil officials gradually relaxed, and many people began to nod their heads involuntarily. After kneeling for a day and a night, they have indeed reached their limit. It's especially easy to listen to advice at such times.

Moreover, the Confucians had already voted first, and if they persisted, they couldn't even shout the slogan for the two saints of Confucius and Mencius. Having lost the garment of sublime, how can we win the sympathy of the masses?

Once they lose the support of the public, they are just a group of lambs to be slaughtered in front of Boss Zhu. If you continue to toss it, you will only die in vain, and as Hu Xiang said, you will become a laughing stock.

The civil officials quickly figured out the benefits and disadvantages, and apologized to Song Lian and other Confucians: "Don't blame a few gentlemen, I'm too impatient." ”

"Yes, we listened to Mr. Song, and said that it was okay, and it was okay."

"Okay, whoever kneels for a day, it's understandable if you have emotions." Song Lian also got off the donkey and said: "Don't worry, we just don't oppose the three reforms now, if they do anything wrong in the future, reverse the rules, and insult our holy religion, we can still speak out." ”

"Okay everyone," Hu Weiyong said with a smile: "Hurry up and put away the quilt, tidy up your appearance, it's time to welcome the emperor." ”
