The second wind rises in Chang'an Chapter 453 The minister has a question
Seeing that the imperial historian's sideburns were sweating, and at the same time with a blank expression, Xiao Yu, Zheng Shanguo and the others' hearts also sank, originally they still hoped that this imperial historian would know what was going on! As a result, this imperial historian didn't know about it, and now Li Yuan has summoned Kong Yingda, seeing Lu Chen's relaxed expression, I'm afraid that this Lu Chen and Kong Yingda really met last night, if that's the case...
If Kong Yingda really did this, then this trouble would be big, on weekdays, these literati officials go to drink a flower wine, find a singer or something, it's called elegance, but this matter can't be brought to the table!
In private, you can say that you are elegant, if you say it on the table, isn't it fatal! After Xiao Yu and Zheng Shanguo glanced at each other, they both saw the worried look on each other's faces.
"Let's take one step at a time!" Xiao Yu glared at the imperial historian hatefully, and whispered to Zheng Shanguo beside him.
"That's all there is to it!" Zheng Shanguo nodded and agreed, "In the future, this kind of thing must be confirmed, this imperial history..." Zheng Shanguo turned his head to look at the imperial history who had already wiped his sweat, and did not finish his words.
"Clean up when it's time to clean up!" Xiao Yu said very simply, at the beginning, when this imperial historian participated in Lu Chen's book, Xiao Yu and the others were still full of joy, and even felt that there was an opportunity to use this matter to give Lu Chen a downhole and directly deal with Lu Chen, but now seeing Lu Chen's performance, and seeing the performance of this imperial historian, Xiao Yu knew that this time this matter might not be satisfactory, but fortunately, this imperial history has little to do with them, which makes Xiao Yu feel lucky.
Now in Xiao Yu's opinion, this imperial history probably wants to take advantage of Lu Chen's matter to directly come to them to "vote for a name", but I am afraid that this imperial history is another person who lifts a stone and shoots himself in the foot, and Xiao Yu does not intend to "take in" this kind of brain imperial history.
Soon, Kong Yingda was taken outside the Taiji Hall by Zheng Jian.
Kong Yingda walked into the Taiji Hall to greet Li Yuan, and at the same time saw Lu Chen standing in the main hall, the atmosphere in the hall was also a little strange at this time, and Kong Yingda was also slightly stunned.
"Minister, Sage Marquis, Kong Yingda, meet Your Majesty!" Kong Yingda saluted Li Yuan.
"Excuse yourself from the Holy Marquis!" For the Kong family, Li Yuan still wants to give face, Li Yuan said very kindly to Kong Yingda.
"I don't know why Your Majesty summoned Weichen here?" Kong Yingda glanced at Lu Chen, then looked at Li Yuan and asked.
"You ask him!" Li Yuan directly stretched out his hand and pointed at Lu Chen.
"Chang'an County Gong?" Following the direction of Li Yuan's finger, Kong Yingda looked at Lu Chen, who was a few steps away from him, and said with some surprise, "I don't know what happened to Lu Xiangong?" Kong Yingda looked at Lu Chen and asked.
"Sage Marquis, you have to prove your innocence to this duke!" Hearing Kong Yingda's question, Lu Chen directly said in a loud voice that was wronged, and his expression almost pounced on Kong Yingda and cried bitterly, which directly startled Kong Yingda.
"Lu Xiangong, where did you start with this? The old man doesn't even know anything! Kong Yingda was so frightened by Lu Chen, he took two steps back directly, and said with a wry smile.
"Confucius, did we meet in Pingkangfang last night?" Lu Chen looked directly at Kong Yingda and asked with some grievances, "In front of Your Majesty, you have to tell the truth, otherwise if my father's head falls to the ground, even if he is a ghost, he will not let you go!" Looking at Kong Yingda's slightly red old face, Lu Chen swore that expression was almost gritting his teeth.
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Kong Yingda was trembling in his heart, plus Lu Chen mentioned the incident of Pingkangfang last night, and his face was even more red, although occasionally the whole "sitting and talking" in Pingkangfang is very elegant, but this thing can't be said on the table.
Which Confucian is not proud of himself, but he has always said that he is in the library or dojo to answer questions and solve doubts, sit and discuss the Tao of the discussion or book meeting, how can he advertise that he went to Pingkangfang to hold a discussion meeting or book meeting, Lu Chen's sentence is directly equivalent to lifting the table, which makes Kong Yingda's old face not red.
"This... This..."As soon as Lu Chen said this, Kong Yingda also stood up, after all, this is not a glorious thing, if he admits it, then it will be confirmed that he, the successor of Confucius, will go to Pingkangfang, and it is good to say that it is not good, but don't admit it, listening to the words of the Lu County Duke in front of him, it is obviously a matter of Lu Chen's life, Kong Yingda was very uncomfortable for a while.
Seeing that Kong Yingda didn't answer, many people actually already have an answer in their hearts, it seems that last night in Pingkangfang, Lu Chen had seen this Sage Marquis, and many civil officials couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
But although these people have the answer in their hearts, as long as Kong Yingda doesn't say it, then it's just their speculation, and they can't be confirmed.
Of course, Lu Chen also saw Kong Yingda's appearance, and directly compared his mouth shape to Kong Yingda, and Kong Yingda naturally also saw Lu Chen's mouth shape, that is, "Kong Zhiyue".
As soon as he saw Lu Chen's mouth, Kong Yingda sighed as if he was resigned, and said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, the minister did see Lu Xiangong last night!" While Kong Yingda was talking to Li Yuan, he still glanced at Lu Chen imperceptibly, and Lu Chen naturally smiled.
As soon as Kong Yingda's words came out, there was an uproar in the Taiji Palace, after all, the matter of Confucius's descendants going to Pingkangfang was still very impactful, and Xiao Yu, who was still holding hope, and the imperial historian sighed in their hearts.
However, Xiao Yu immediately raised his head again, because what he heard was that Kong Yingda had "seen" Lu Chen, that is to say, although Kong Yingda had met Lu Chen, there was no guarantee that Lu Chen would not act as a "prostitute" after Kong Yingda left, Xiao Yu suddenly felt that there was still something to be done about this matter.
"Your Majesty! The minister has a question! Xiao Yu said directly to Li Yuan.
"Oh? What questions does Xiao Aiqing have? Li Yuan looked at Xiao Yu and asked, after hearing Kong Yingda's words, most of the anger in Li Yuan's heart towards Lu Chen had disappeared, so his speech was not as blunt as before.
"What the minister wants to ask is where did Xu Shenghou see Lu County Gong, if you take a picture, then is it also considered 'seen'?" Xiao Yu asked at Kong Yingda.
Hearing Xiao Yu's question, Kong Yingda glared at Xiao Yu directly, and directly wanted to go up and give Xiao Yu a mouthful, saying that he had seen it, why did he still get to the bottom of it? Kong Yingda just wants to fool this matter over, this surnamed Xiao has to spread out this matter and explain it, what is the difference between this and stabbing Kong Yingda in the heart, what do you mean by fighting with this Lu Chen, you have to be involved with me?
Therefore, Kong Yingda's eyes and expression when he looked at Xiao Yu were not very good-looking, and Xiao Yu also knew that he might offend Kong Yingda by asking this question, but Xiao Yu was now full of wanting to use this incident to bring Lu Chen down, as for Kong Yingda being angry, if he could clean up Lu Chen, he would come to the door to apologize later, and he would be guilty.
"Oh! Last night, when my father went to Pingkangfang, he happened to meet Xu Shenghou and a group of literati students sitting and discussing, so he participated! Before Kong Yingda could speak, Lu Chen said it directly.
"Sage Marquis Xu, can there be such a thing?" Hearing Lu Chen's words, Xiao Yu looked at Kong Yingda and asked again.
"Yes!" Kong Yingda was about to hate Xiao Yu to death now, and directly gritted his teeth and replied.
"It's impossible to talk about it all night, right? Excuse me, when the Marquis of Xu Shenghou left, did the county prince of Chang'an also leave? Kong Yingda's gritted teeth, Xiao Yu naturally saw it in his eyes, but in order to "kill" Lu Chen, Xiao Yu didn't care about anything else, and continued to ask directly.
"No!" Lu Chen replied for Kong Yingda again, "How could a Confucian like Confucius stay in Pingkangfang, naturally he left after the meeting, but my father stayed for one night!" Lu Chen said calmly, as if he didn't mean that he stayed overnight.
"In that case, how can the Marquis of Xuan Shenghou prove that Lu Xiangong is not a prostitute?" Xiao Yu looked at Lu Chen and sneered directly, and then asked.
"Yes! But the Marquis of the Emperor can prove that the place where the prince stays cannot be prostitutes! Lu Chen spread his hands directly at Xiao Yu and said with a smile.
