Chapter Eighty-Three: The Man Behind the Scenes

Luoyang's action to ban the newspaper did not stop, countless people related to the newspaper were arrested, and even some people who discussed the matter were arrested, but after being so troubled by Azhu, no one dared to directly enter the newspaper office to be presumptuous.

At the same time, the posts of the major official lists also posted one after another, which means that if the New Youth Daily only attacked Sima Xianggong and Wang Xianggong, it would be fine, but it was absolutely impossible to propagate heresies and fallacies.

Now, on the grounds of attacking the letters of Sima Xianggong and Wang Xianggong, the New Youth Daily actually directly points to the sages and sages, and directly points to loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, which is to corrupt social discipline, and if it is not dealt with, it may cause rebellion and rebellion, and the world will be in chaos, so it is banned. At the same time, the government forbade the people of Henan Province to discuss and slander the sages, violate the mainstream moral values, and make rebellious remarks......

This had two effects.

First, readers are more excited, especially some young and vigorous readers. Many people who did not attack the four letters very much, or only attacked the obvious loopholes in the letters, but never dared to insult the books of the sages, then they did not have any scruples and began to give 'speeches' everywhere, and some of them even went to public places to make such remarks, even if they were taken away by official missions, and they smiled one by one, as if how honorable.

The second is that ordinary people, small people in the market, doing business to support their families, are silent.

......

Bianliang Prime Minister's Mansion.

Sima Guang walked through the lobby, his face was a little ugly.

"I should have thought that with Qin Xian's cleverness, his real purpose was not just to scare my letter. At first, Sima Guang didn't react, but he felt that the article in the newspaper seemed to be useless to attack his letter, but in essence, it was a bit forceful, but after a long time, Sima Guang also recalled that the real purpose of this article was probably not aimed at him Sima Guang. Not for the academic world, but for the people below.

Sure enough, Sima Guang sent someone to go outside, and when he inquired, there was a lot of criticism in the entire Bianliang, and these criticisms not only pointed directly at the incompetence of Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, but also directly pointed to the Confucian Dao that had ruled for more than a thousand years.

"Wang Jiefu is treacherous and loyal. Sima Guang looked out the window with his hands behind his back. Sigh lightly, what a disaster the empire is, is this day really going to change?" "First Wang Jiefu, no matter how powerful Wang Jiefu is, he is just a-stirring stick in governance, but this Qin Immortal is arrogant......"

If it is someone else, it is not yet aware of the danger.

But Sima Guang, who is familiar with thousands of years of history, naturally understands how poisonous the Qin Dynasty's move is from the ideology, concept, and cultural circles.

"He is drawing from the bottom of the kettle, if even Confucius is defeated by him. Any change in politics is in line with the general righteousness, and it can naturally take advantage of the trend, like a bamboo, Wang Jiefu did not think of this trick back then, but it is a pity that no matter how messy his 'new learning' is, he is still in the Confucian circle, and he does not dare to overthrow Confucius and Mencius. ”

Sima Guang pondered.

These literati in the martial arts world have a certain amount of time to govern the government. When the time comes, you need to fake your death and hide in the world, and start to study martial arts wholeheartedly. in order to shatter the void.

This hidden world is to really let go of everything, even if the entire world outside is destroyed, you can't care anymore, this is the rule, if you don't follow the entire innate martial arts world, you will be the enemy, and you will be killed.

Sima Guang's predecessors Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan, Shao Yong, etc. all entered the secret realm. It's not that they don't know the way of the world now, it's just that they don't care anymore, just like there really is no such thing as them in the world.

Zeng Gong, who is the same generation as Sima Guang, has also gone into hiding, Cheng Hao is more than ten years younger than Sima Guang, but he is also in hiding, and Wang Anshi should have been in seclusion last year. But Qin Xianao was born, Wang Anshi dragged it down again, Su Shi also reached the age of seclusion, Sima Guang is naturally even more so, but Sima Guang is unwilling, so he has been delayed again and again without faking his death in seclusion.

But although this kind of drag can exert influence in the government and the opposition, it is a great obstacle to himself and himself to shatter the void, and the shattered void is also a great temptation for Sima Guang.

"Huh?"

"Father, something happened. Sima Kang strode over, "Just now, someone from the newspaper came to the newspaper, saying that an hour ago, the Luoyang government dispatched officials to ban and arrest the local newspaper, and all those related to the newspaper were arrested, and the list was posted, and the people were not allowed to talk about it and make slanderous remarks against the sages. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Sima Guang raised his eyebrows, then frowned, "No, you mean an hour ago?"

"The people at the Tokyo newspaper did say that, and I was also puzzled at the time, and I asked, and they said that they had a special contact information similar to that contained in the Travels to the Immortal Country, so they could know it at the first time. ”

"Similar to the way in the Immortal Kingdom?" Sima Guang sneered.

"Kang'er, it's impossible for them to contact us, but the matter is not necessarily fake, it should be that they have done something or got some news a few days ago, so that they know that the kind of thing they just said will definitely happen in Luoyang an hour ago today. Sima Guang said in a deep voice.

Sima Kang also nodded: "I think so too." ”

"In any case, banning newspapers, arresting and convicting people, and even posting lists and prohibiting public discussions, this practice is very inappropriate, and it will inevitably make people think that it is my Sima Guang who has a weak heart after reading the article, and I am ashamed and angry before I gave the order, although I Sima Guang doesn't like that article very much, but I haven't been so disregarding the appearance of eating, so I don't have a mind at all. Sima Guang said in a deep voice, "This is someone framing me, and I must investigate it strictly." ”

"I thought the same thing. ”

"Anyway, let's check it out first and figure things out. ”

"It should be so, but although it is wrong to arrest and convict people and prohibit people from discussing this matter, this article has indeed shaken the foundation of our Confucian doctrine, and now when children go out, everyone is doubting the articles of the sages, and even attacking the sages. Sima Kang's eyes were full of worry.

Sima Guang frowned slightly.

"Kang'er, Qin Xianao is indeed powerful, but how can things be so easy in the world. A hint of coldness flashed in Sima Guang's eyes, "Do you know why I'm only slightly worried and don't care much about his article?"

"Father. Sima Kang smiled bitterly, "Not everyone in the world has the wisdom of your father." ”

"I'm not very worried, it's because Qin Xianao only destroys, but the construction can't keep up. Sima Guang sneered, "Is it enough to pull out the grass from a field? If you want the grass to stop growing, you have to plant vegetables." Confucianism in the doctrine of the world is grass, which can sprout and spread when thrown in any field, Qin Xianao is so at most a pull-out of some grass, although the people of Li have such and such dissatisfaction, so they attack the sages and say, but there is no new enough to replace Confucianism, this Confucianism is still the No. 1 doctrine in the world, or Confucianism. ”

Sima Kang was shocked, yes, if Confucianism is destroyed, what can replace it, there is no replacement, and the people are just complaining at most.

......

A courtyard in Luoyang City.

"Xian Yuting has issued a warning, shouldn't we stop?"

"Yunhe, what are you afraid of, Cihang Jingzhai was dizzy, and chose Qin Xianao to be assisted by a demon king, and people of insight in the world have been suffering for a long time. ”

The two old men were playing chess with a smile, and the older one put down a chess piece and said with a smile: "What can we do if we are a little out of line?" Besides, since the two of us have already planned to go into hiding, Qin Xianao has revealed this big flaw, the opportunity is rare, no need to use it in vain, and one will establish the historical status of you and me. ”

"Brother Zihua's historical status is high enough. Sun Gulian said, the older old man opposite him is called Han Jiang, the word Zihua.

He is the third son of Han Yi, a famous minister of the Great Song Dynasty. In the second year of Qingli, Jinshi Jiake Tanhua, at that time, the list was the bull Wang Jue, and the fourth place was Wang Anshi. The biggest official Han Jiang has done in his life is the prime minister.

Han Jiang smiled and continued: "Although I have some achievements, my mistake is that I am in the same period as Wang Anshi and Sima Guangsheng, which is nothing. In addition to establishing a historical position, this time is to clear such a big obstacle for Sima Xianggong, Mr. Yi Chuan and others, and then in the history of Confucianism, it can also add a lot of money to you and me. ”

"This Qin Xianao can also be regarded as a personal masterpiece, obviously he is just a man in the wilderness, but with a newspaper, he stirs up the storm. Sun Gu sighed with emotion, he was valued by the Queen Mother, and he knew Henan Mansion with a righteous doctor, which was originally extremely leisurely, but Qin Xianao ran to this Henan Mansion, first stirring Luoyang to live in peace, and then it was out of control, and the entire Great Song Dynasty, most of the country was almost covered by newspapers.

Looking at the orthodox doctrine that the newspaper slapped in the face again and again, he could only stare dryly.

"Qin Xianao, if it weren't for Jie Cihang, Jingzhai would not support him. Han Jiang also sighed, "What Qin Xianao did this time, if it succeeds, it will definitely turn heaven and earth and the people will be ruined, fortunately, he has a big loophole here." ”

"Yes, he said that any knowledge must be rigorous and reasonable. Sun Gu sighed with emotion, there is no mistake in the theory advocated by the newspaper, and Sun Gu and Han Jiang also know that it is difficult to refute it in theory, so the two of them tried to logicalize the sage book in the way advocated by the newspaper, but this time they found that it was simply impossible.

"Those doctrines, even if he Qin Immortal is arrogant, it is impossible to do what he says. Han Jiang said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for the painstaking research of the two of us and our protΓ©gΓ©s, we wouldn't have discovered them, and since we have already discovered them, if we don't use them, it's really a tyrannical thing." ”

"It's just ......" Sun Gu frowned slightly, "We can't do it, Qin Xianao really can't do it either?"

"Which of us has not been a prodigy since we were children, and which one is not precocious and intelligent? He Qin Xianao is not much smarter than us, but he likes to win by surprise, and he doesn't go through the main door, don't look down on him. Han Jiang said with a smile.

"That's just as well. Sun Gu smiled, but there was always a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
