As soon as Kong Bowang walked to the door of the hall, he heard a violent cough.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Wang Yi explained: "Mr. Kong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has many diseases, and he can't cough after coming to Qufu, and the accompanying imperial doctor said that he is infected with cough disease, and it will be contagious, so please be careful." ”

Kong Bowang was stunned, any cold and flu at his age is fatal, it is really fatal, so he has always maintained it very well, once the weather turns cold, every night there must be two sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls to warm the bed, holding their feet all night, in order to fall asleep and avoid catching a cold at night.

Listening to the sound of coughing up his lungs in the room, he suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter, Mr. Kong, is it possible that you dislike our Royal Highness the Prince?"

"No...... Can't. ”

"Then come in with me."

Walking into the hall, Yang Guangzheng was sitting at the front, and when he saw a few people walking in, he coughed loudly again.

"Ahem, ahem......"

After coughing violently, Yang Guang eased up, felt that the situation was better, and walked towards Kong Bowang.

Kong Bowang was very scared at this time, but he didn't dare to retreat, and he smiled hard.

"Old decay, Kong Bowang, see His Royal Highness the Prince."

Yang Guang stretched out his hand to support Kong Bowang, who was saluting, and then said: "Mr. Kong came from afar, and it is still rude to miss the distant welcome, how dare you ...... cough cough cough ...... Received a great gift from Mr...... cough cough cough, I woke up early this morning and learned that Mr. was visiting, so I hurriedly ordered someone to invite Mr. in, and I had already reprimanded this group of servants...... cough cough cough ...... I don't know how to let Mr. wait outside. ”

coughed in front of Kong Bowang's face, because Yang Guang was a head higher, and the saliva splashed on Kong Bowang's face.

Kong Bowang's eyes were full of fear, but he still didn't dare to retreat, it was he who asked to enter the mansion to see Yang Guang, but at this time he withdrew because the prince was sick, and this spread out, and his old face was gone.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I'm bothering you."

"Sir, where is this, you are here...... cough cough cough cough ...... See me, how can you say that you are bothered...... Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......, please take a seat first. ”

Yang Guang coughed wildly again.

"Your Highness, you sit down first."

The two sat down, and after Yang Guang coughed for a while, he took a sip of hot water and touched his chest to relieve some relief.

"Sir, a man of high life, my father ordered me to come...... Ahem...... When I was in Qufu, I also specially explained that I had to visit my husband, but I didn't expect that I would ...... as soon as I arrived Ahem cough fell ill, but it was my husband who came to see me, I was really ashamed, ashamed. ”

Facing such a polite Yang Guang, Kong Bowang squeezed out a smile and said: "Thanks to the love of Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the old man is deeply frightened. ”

Yang Guang waved his hand, and the maid walked out with a box and came to Kong Bowang.

The box opened, and inside were several ancient books.

"Sir, this is the only book occasionally obtained in the auction in Daxing City, they are all classics, I think this kind of item is the most suitable for you to hold it, old gentleman."

Kong Bowang looked at the lone classic in front of him, his eyes lit up, and he hadn't been so happy for many years.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... This...... This, the old man is ashamed to be ashamed. ”

"Sir deserves it."

The two people beside him made Kong Bowang remember the purpose of his recent visit.

Although he was reluctant, he dismissed these classics and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what is the reason why the old man came to you today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be clear. ”

"Ahem, cough, cough, cough... Ahem. ”

Yang Guang's coughing interrupted Kong Bowang, and Wang Yi said bitterly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you see that you are coughing like this, let's rest first." ”

"No...... Ahem...... Ahem, cough, cough. ”

Yang Guang said no, but his body was very honest, and Wang Yi helped others down.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

"Mr. Kong, wait a minute, let's let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rest for a while."

For a while, only Kong Bowang and the two people he brought were left in the entire central hall.

He tried his best to lower his voice: "Old Kong, this Royal Highness the Prince, they are all out, and only we are left." ”

"I see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is deliberately looking for an excuse to delay, and he doesn't want to see us at all."

"No, I used to pretend to cough in order to avoid my wife, this cough is very difficult to pretend, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't even pretend to be a sound."

"So what to do, don't be contagious."

The three of them panicked when they said this, but they couldn't leave.

Yang Guang, who left here, rushed back to the backyard: "Where's the antidote?" Ahem, cough, cough. ”

The accompanying imperial physician immediately handed over a bowl of decoction: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what's the matter?" ”

Wang Yi said reproachfully: "What's the matter with your medicine? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to fool the old man in front of him after eating, why did he really cough now? ”

It turned out that Yang Guang's cough was true, he took the medicine specially prepared by the doctor and used it for acting, but he didn't expect the effect to be too good.

After Yang Guang drank the antidote, he relieved his breath and said, "Your medicine is too powerful, I almost didn't cough up my lungs." ”

The imperial doctor asked for guilt: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the ministers deserve to die......

"I don't blame you, the medicine is what I want to take myself, and I really can't take the medicine next time."

Wang Yi asked at this time: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what should I do?" If you don't cough, how can you fool the old man in front of you. ”

"When I went to report, I said that I had to rest, let them wait, and order food when they got to dinner, just like the way I coughed, and several people were always embarrassed to forcibly ask to see me."

Wang Yi went to the front, and when Kong Bowang and the others saw Wang Yi, they got up and asked, "Princess, how is His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Wang Yi frowned and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just taken the medicine of the imperial doctor, this medicine is very effective, and after eating it, he will be sleepy, and the imperial doctor told him to rest well, so he will sleep first." ”

"Huh? That...... Then we ......."

Before Kong Bowang finished speaking, Wang Yi frowned deeply and said with disgust: "What? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coughed like that, you can't see it? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already uncomfortable, and he has to talk so much to you, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something to do, can you take care of it? ”

Seeing that Wang Yi was angry, several people didn't dare to say anything, Kong Bowang had to sigh and said: "Princess, then I'll wait here, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wakes up, let's make a long story short." ”

"Hmph, if you want to wait, just wait."

Wang Yi turned around and left, complaining maliciously as he walked: "Don't you look at what kind of character you are?" Really, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gentle and polite, he will be bullied on his head. ”

The faces of the three of them were extremely ugly, but Kong Bowang asked them to calm down for a while.

Sitting down is simple for Kong Bowang, but it is not simple for the other two.

From early morning to dusk, when the sky was dark, Yang Guang came from the back to the front hall.

Seeing Yang Guang, who was supported by Wang Yi, come over, Kong Bowang and the others immediately got up and greeted him: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Wang Yi immediately complained dissatisfiedly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just woken up and has to come to see people, even if an ordinary person is sick, he has to rest, why is our prince ......?"

"The king must not be rude."

Yang Guang scolded Wang Yi and then said to Kong Bowang and the others with a slight apology: "Mr. Kong, don't blame, Wang Yi followed me when he was a child, he didn't read any books, he didn't understand any reason, and he lacked some etiquette when he did things and spoke. ”

Kong Bowang replied: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince is right, we are indeed rude." ”

In order to avoid being interrupted again, Kong Bowang directly entered the topic: "But even if it is rude, you have to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, and there is a reluctant request." ”

"Mr. Kong, you are serious, I don't know what you are talking about?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, a few days ago, Cui Chengjun and Cui Taishou arrested many Confucian students in the city and put them in prison, and I hope His Royal Highness will be kind and let these people go."

Yang Guang looked puzzled: "Mr. Kong, I'm confused about what you said, I don't know the news of Cui Taishou's arrest, I don't know why these people were arrested?" ”

This time he asked knowingly, Kong Bowang's face was embarrassed, Yang Guang pretended not to know, Kong Bowang couldn't say to his face that it was your prince who ordered him to be arrested, otherwise people would say that you were framed.

But this reason makes Kong Bowang himself say that it is a little ugly.

It's ugly and ugly, Kong Bowang has lived for so many years, and the thickness of the dough is still there this year.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, on the day you entered the city, many Confucian students in the city shouted on the side of your convoy to respect Confucianism, and the young people acted impulsively.

"Mr. Kong, what you said is not right."

Yang Guang's face immediately became serious, and then said: "What you said is as if I ordered Cui Taishou to arrest someone, I sent Mr. Kong a unique copy of the ancient book to respect Mr., but I didn't expect Mr. to think that I was like this, and I thought that Mr. came to meet me, and I had to meet Mr. even when I was seriously ill, but I didn't expect Mr. to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt?" ”

Hearing Yang Guang's tone turn heavy in an instant, Kong Bowang couldn't help it for a while, he was good at pressing people with courtesy, but now Yang Guang dragged his seriously ill body, and everything he said seemed to be wrong

"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't misunderstand, the old man has no idea of asking the teacher to ask for guilt, but now that so many Confucian students in Qufu City have been arrested, every household is very worried, and I ask His Royal Highness to persuade Cui Taishou."

Yang Guang still had a slight anger on his face: "Cui Taishou is a county guard, will he neglect his duties and arrest people casually?" Since I have arrested someone, I think there is something illegal and undisciplined, so I can't interfere. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, these young Confucian scholars are all young people who know etiquette, just express their inner thoughts, and ask Your Highness to be forgiving."

"Mr. Kong seems to have decided that Lone wants to attack this group of young Confucians, does Lone want to arrest them and put them in prison, or Lone wants them to die?"

Kong Bowang has seen many people in his life, among which there are naturally many dragons and phoenixes among people and heroes in the world, but in front of Yang Guang, he seems to feel a suffocating sense of oppression for the first time.

This sense of oppression is not the sense of oppression in a high position, but an indescribable sense of disobedience.

Give Kong Bowang a feeling.

The man in front of him really dared to do something that the world did not condemn.

People in high positions in the world always care about reputation, but Yang Guang gave Kong Bowang the feeling that he would flip the table with you at any time.

Many people are like this, if they talk to you well and reason, some people can't listen, they only care about their own thoughts, their own reasoning, but at this time, if you say that you want to lift the table, and you have the strength to lift the table at any time, he will probably sit down and reason with you.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't mean that, I just hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will think about this group of young students, they are all young men who have studied hard for more than ten years, and they all have the ambition to serve the country, and they can be the pillars of the court in the future, and they should not be arrested in prison because of recent events, Your Highness, you ordered them to be released, which is also a beautiful thing."

"Mr. Kong, you seem to really treat Wang Fa as a child's play, it seems that you just want to release people with a casual word, you don't have to verify that in order to arrest people, you don't have to check whether you can release people?"

Kong Bowang saw that Yang Guang was dead or alive and did not let go, so he had to kneel down slowly.

Wang Yiyan quickly helped him up: "Mr. Kong, how can you kneel and kneel, you are a master, you can't kneel." ”

Kong Bowang still wanted to kneel, but Wang Yi grabbed him and didn't let him kneel.

Did he kneel down to intercede? No!

He knew very well that he knelt down to coerce Yang Guang to give in and compromise, he knew his weight very well, and he also knew very well how to use this weight.

Once he is branded with a reputation of disrespecting the elderly, Yang Guang's reputation will be burdened by it.

When Kong Bowang and Wang Yi were pulling, Yang Guang's voice came: "Mr. Kong, can I ask you a question?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please ask."

"Old man, since you said that you were the group of students who were arrested alone, and you think that I have a grudge against them because they stopped my carriage, then why do you think they stopped my carriage and shouted to depose the Confucianism of the Hundred Schools."

"I'm curious about why they did that?"

Kong Bowang replied very tactfully: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the old man doesn't think you hold a grudge, but just begs you to have a lot of help with the Confucian students." ”

"Mr. Kong, you didn't answer my main question just now, why did they stop my carriage and shout to depose Confucianism?"

Kong Bowang looked at Yang Guang's face, knowing that if he didn't answer this question, Yang Guang would not give up.

"Since he is a Confucian student, he should seek a place for his own learning, His Royal Highness always has to allow others to speak, they are more impulsive, maybe they think that the number of etiquette in the school is all chaotic now, and they do not respect Confucianism, so they made this decision, and I hope Your Highness understands."

Yang Guang had a question on his face: "Understand? I don't understand, why do you say that Confucianism wants a place, and you have to understand your encroachment and your obstruction, but listen to what you are shouting, and deposing the hundred schools of thought and Confucianism is to exclude all other learning, as if it is you who do not give people a place. ”

Speaking of these things, Kong Bowang has a wealth of experience: "Confucianism is the study of governing the country......"

But before he could start a tirade, Yang Guang directly interrupted him.

The deep voice was like a turbid dragon moaning.

"Confucianism is very good, Duzun?"

"No way!"
