It's just that before the final move, I have to give them a little more rest and breathe.

"After discussing it for a long time today, I think all of you Aiqing are a little tired."

"Rest for a while, and then you will be able to dedicate the scriptures, debate the scriptures, and compare the scriptures ......."

"I believe that today we will be able to negotiate a result that satisfies everyone in the world."

Liu He said that, and a warm smile appeared on his face again, but he still sneered in his heart.

The killing has just begun, and I don't know what will happen later, and what will make you think.

Of course, the great Confucians didn't know what the Son of Heaven thought, they had been "disciplined" all morning, and they urgently needed to rest for a while, and hurriedly thanked the Son of Heaven.

The time of rest is half an hour.

Liu He was naturally very thoughtful, and after the front foot finished saying the words "all Aiqing rest", the back foot immediately ordered the internal official to bring tea and snacks.

The Confucian scholars and officials, who were originally a little tired and sleepy, suddenly became energetic and looked better.

All over the world, everyone knows that the Son of Heaven is a terrible "eater", and has invented many kinds of strange food.

And these foods are not expensive things such as bear's paws and turtles, they are all extremely ordinary things - the Shu people can eat them, and the scholars can also swallow them.

Just like Xuanjiu, which looks like water and tastes like fire, it is the favorite of Confucian students of all ages - for example, Na Kongba, who has to drink a few glasses every time he eats.

To put it more exaggeratedly, if the Son of Heaven issued an edict that "those who oppose the publication and printing of Confucian scriptures shall not drink Xuanjiu", Kong Ba may turn against him in court.

Therefore, when the Son of Heaven said that there were newly cooked details to be given to everyone, they couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts, and they all looked outside the hall.

At this time, it was only the right time, and it was only an hour before the beginning of the debate, and most of the Confucian scholars did not have a chance to speak.

But in the past hour just now, the Confucian scholars were not having a good time, and they had to face the coercion and rebuke of the Son of Heaven all the time, and the physical strength consumed was extremely great.

The meager breakfast I ate in the morning had been digested, and my stomach was already hungry.

During the debate just now, the situation in the hall was extremely urgent, so no one cared about getting the matter of the Five Organs Temple.

Now that his mind is idle, his stomach has followed the "rebellion" and made a very indecent "cooing" sound.

After waiting for half an hour, the slave and the internal official finally came up with the food box.

Although the lid had not yet been lifted, an extremely tempting smell of grease came out of it, tickling everyone's noses.

These great Confucians, who have always been sitting upright, finally some of them can't sit still, and they keep moving forward, like gluttony that has been hungry for a long time.

"Princess, Shiqu Pavilion is a place to store books, and it shouldn't have been eaten here, but there is no food in my stomach, and I panic in my heart......."

"After discussing it for so long just now, it is natural to use some food to make it clear and clear in the debate later."

"So come to think of it, this Zhongni Ancestor won't blame us Meng Lang."

"Come, I invite you Aiqing to eat cakes."

Liu He waved his hand and said quite freely.

At this moment, his expression was relaxed and freehand, which was very different from the violent appearance just now.

The opposition Confucian scholars saw the "moodiness" of the Son of Heaven and found it even more elusive.

Of course, whether it is for or against, or centrist, they are all hungry now.

When the lids of those food boxes were opened, and the pale yellow pancakes were put on the table, all their attention was drawn to it.

Without the cover of the lid, the freshly baked scallion pancakes fried in lard exude a nasal aroma that makes people unable to take their eyes off.

It's not just the aroma that tickles their sense of smell, but the edges of the pancakes, which have been fried and slightly charred, exude an alluring appeal.

Soon, the sound of people swallowing saliva could be heard in the hall.

Of course, Dahan also has Dahan's food, but because of the cooking method, there will not be such a strong sensory stimulation.

Just like a person who has never eaten meat before, as soon as he tastes the taste of meat, he naturally can't stop it.

The so-called "stones from other mountains can attack jade" is exactly this truth.

"This thing is called scallion pancake, which is made of flour, green onions, and oil, and I love it very much, and you can also try it."

"No!" Everyone was really hungry, and they didn't care about any more prevarication, so they immediately started their chopsticks.

All of a sudden, there was an endless sound of eating cakes in the main hall of Shiqu Pavilion.

Occasionally, you can hear whispers and chirps.

But soon it was drowned out by the sound of chewing food.

Everyone had only one loaf of bread on the table, and each loaf of bread had only three or five thin slices.

For a hungry adult, there is absolutely not enough to eat, and there is absolutely not enough to eat.

Of course, this was done by Liu He on purpose.

When the debate is over, you can eat as much as you want. But not now, I can't let you eat enough, and then come and fight with me.

Eagle, you have to stay up to be obedient.

The small plate of scallion pancakes in front of everyone was eaten without too much, and in the end they could only sigh with unfinished thinking.

These great Confucians and courtiers wanted to beg the Son of Heaven to give them some more bread, but they couldn't open their mouths because of their feelings, so they sighed and shook their heads, and kept pouring water into their stomachs.

When it's finished, that's pulling.

The old Confucian and the old ministers asked to go out to the hall to pay respects, and Liu He naturally couldn't refuse.

All of a sudden, the entrance of the main hall went in and out, and the atmosphere was a little more relaxed.

Some Confucian scholars and officials sitting on adjacent couches also took the opportunity to whisper to each other.

Their voices were well controlled, and even Liu He, who was a few feet away, couldn't hear it clearly.

But Liu He didn't care, he could probably guess what the other party was discussing.

Soon, it is about to enter the link of "comparing the scriptures".

In the eyes of Confucian scholars, the subsequent comparison of scriptures is just a passing scene, and the selected Confucian classics are nothing more than those ones, which will not have an impact on the overall situation.

But they still want to get a few more votes when they vote, so that the face will be a little more glorious.

Liu He only thought it was very ridiculous.

These Confucian scholars even fantasized that their scriptures could become the popular version of the scriptures, and then serve as the doctor of Taixue as before?

The "Thirteen Classics" edited by Wang Shi and Xiahou Sheng are piled up on the second floor, and once they are dedicated, they will immediately become the undisputed protagonists.

When the time comes, there will be no matter for each family.

Even representatives of the Ram School and the Guliang School were present, but in the end, it was Liu He's annotated "The Legend of the Ram" and "The Biography of Guliang" that won.

In short, all the Confucian schools present here have no chance of being established as official scholars.

Let you laugh for a few more moments, this is the last laugh, and you will wake up later

During the half hour of resting, Liu He's attention was mainly on the two people.

The first one is Xiahou Sheng.

Xiahou Sheng sat beside Wang Shi, and never said a word from beginning to end, let alone looked at the Son of Heaven.

Even when he got up to salute Liu He, he squinted his eyes slightly, without any respectful expression.

It seems that Xiahou Sheng, who was once sent to prison by himself, is still resentful.

In any other emperor, Xiahou Sheng could be convicted of a great disrespect with this expression alone.

But Liu He didn't care at this time, after all, Xiahou Sheng was a hero - it's just that he didn't know it yet.

Cast it with a peach, repay it with a plum.

Liu He is going to reward him today.

The second one is naturally Kong Ba.

Since the results of the vote came out, Kong Ba's face has been like ashes.

There is resentment and anger, but there is nowhere to vent, so I can only hold it in my heart.

Although Kong Ba was also very happy when eating scallion pancakes, after eating them, his expression returned to that gloomy appearance

After eating the cake, Kong Ba asked for a compliment.

Liu He noticed that Kong Ba had been away for a lot longer than others, which seemed a little unusual.

It seems that this Kong Ba is also going to make a desperate bet.

Liu He knew that Kong Anguo was outside the hall at the moment.

If it weren't for Yan Pengzu's sudden attack just now, which disrupted Kong Ba's deployment, then Kong Anguo would definitely have appeared.

At that time, Liu He and Kong Anguo will inevitably have to fight each other in a short battle.

The impassioned words just now were a thunderous blow to Yan Pengzu, but they might not have such a good effect on Kong Anguo.

Then, Liu He may not be able to easily suppress the Confucian students present.

In this way, this "nonsense" Yan Pengzu can also be regarded as a meritorious person.

The opposition has already lost the war, and Kong Anguo will definitely find a way to save some face.

Then Kong Anguo must play.

It's just that today don't say it's Kong Anguo, even if Confucius comes, he has to bow his head.

……

Half an hour passed in a flash, and the Confucian scholars and the courtiers sat down in the hall again.

Zhang Anshi, who went out to arrange for the transcription of the edict, has also returned—the matter of copying the edict has already been arranged.

In this way, this important edict can be sent to Chang'an City before noon, and it can be passed through Sanfu within two days, and it will be known to the whole world after five days.

Looking at the people who were gradually seated, Liu He coughed vigorously several times, pulled all his eyes back to himself, and then brought the topic back to the right path.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's start comparing the scriptures."

"No!"

After a burst of rustling sounds, the Confucian scholars complacently put the cloth baggage from under the case to the case, and their spirits were also a little more energetic.

In this burden, there is the Confucian scripture on which all families and factions rely for survival, which embodies the hard work of their great Confucianists and is the cornerstone of their survival.

Without these things at the bottom of the box, the various factions would have no place to stand, let alone "dominate" Confucianism.

"The first scripture to be compared today is the "Book of Shang" scripture, which Aiqing wants to dedicate the scriptures?"

After Liu He finished speaking slowly, there was silence in the hall, and everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to Kong Ba and Xiahou Sheng.

Because at present, the annotations to the "Book of Shang" have achieved achievements in the Confucian and Xiahou clans.

When Kong Ba was young, he also read "Shangshu" with Xiahou Sheng, which can be regarded as a friendship between teachers and students.

It's just that this teacher-student friendship is not deep.

Kong Anguo asked Kong Ba to follow Xiahou Sheng to learn "Shangshu", not that the Kong family couldn't teach it.

After all, Kong Anguo learned the "Book of Shang" directly from Fu Sheng, and what he learned was the most correct, and his seniority was higher.

The reason why Kong Ba was allowed to worship under Xiahou Sheng was just to let him learn more complicated.

Now, decades have passed, and this teacher-student friendship, which is not deep, is even weaker to the point of being negligible.

But no matter how weak they are, Kong Ba and Xiahou Sheng still have a teacher-student relationship.

The Kong family and the Xiahou family competed together for a place in the popular version of the Confucian scriptures, which was tantamount to a teacher-student fight.

The scene is not good-looking, but others like to watch it more. (End of chapter)
