Great Wei Scholar Chapter 82: The results of the government examination, the banquet in Nanyu Tower, the grievances of the people, and the rain in the mountains
Chapter 82: The results of the government examination, the banquet in Nanyu Tower, the grievances of the people, and the rain in the mountains
Desire comes and the wind fills the building
It's not that Xu Qingxiao didn't understand what happened.
But this matter is indeed not as big as imagined.
This group of military officers complained about their injustice and beat up the students of Tianming Academy.
At the most minor level, it was just a misunderstanding. Can you apologize in person? If you are not satisfied, punish them with a cane and pay some silver coins. It is not a problem to borrow some of these silver coins yourself.
To put it more seriously, this is class antagonism. Scholars have been noble since ancient times. It is indeed unjustifiable for military officers to beat scholars. It is a provocation of class. It is reasonable to send people thousands of miles away.
But looking at the matter, this matter is not organized, premeditated or targeted, it is a complete misunderstanding.
You can punish severely, but it cannot be so absolute, just like manslaughter and intentional homicide are two completely different concepts.
But Xu Qingxiao was a little confused by Fu Jun's attitude and meaning now.
Hearing Xu Qingxiao's doubts, Li Guangxin did not hide it and spoke directly.
"Nephew Shouren, it seems you still haven't seen this matter through."
"This is no longer a simple fight, nor is it the so-called humiliation of a scholar, but a matter of purpose."
Li Guangxin opened his mouth and told the key elements of the matter.
conception?
Xu Qingxiao frowned, why is it related to the idea again?
Seeing Xu Qingxiao's confusion, Li Guangxin continued.
"Forget it, Uncle Li won't beat around the bush."
"If this matter were just a matter of Wan Anguo and Mr. Wan was behind it, Uncle Li could actually suppress it."
"But unfortunately, a great scholar came to our Nanyu Mansion. This person is a relative of a student at Tianming Academy."
"Do you understand now how serious this is?"
Li Guangxin stopped hiding it and revealed the secret.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were said, the expressions of Xu Qingxiao and Li Xin could not help but change.
No wonder he, as the prince of the mansion, said such a thing. It turned out that there was a great scholar above him. Otherwise, as the local parent official, he would naturally have great authority. It would be reasonable for him to exert some pressure.
"Father, a great scholar came to Nanyu Mansion in person just because of this kind of thing?"
Li Xin couldn't help but ask, this was a bit unreasonable. A great Confucian was the first scholar in the world. The fifth rank was a great Confucian, the fourth rank was a great Confucian of heaven and earth, and the higher he reached the holy realm.
So basically the Great Confucianism has reached the top, and there is only one great Confucian in the entire Wei Dynasty. Unlike the warrior monks, there is a first-class existence in the world.
Therefore, the status of great Confucians is too high.
But what Li Xin didn't understand was that a great scholar went to war just because of such a thing?
This is a bit unreasonable, right?
"Of course not."
"This great scholar will definitely not go to war over such a thing."
"He's actually doing it for Shouren's nephew, you."
Li Guangxin opened his mouth, and once he said this, the two of them were even more confused.
"for me?"
Xu Qingxiao looked at Li Guangxin.
"Well, this great scholar, named Yan Lei, is one of the first presidents of Bailu Academy. He came here just to write an article."
Li Guangxin told the core reason.
"I see."
When Li Guangxin said this, Xu Qingxiao suddenly understood.
Bailu Academy is one of the four major academies in the Wei Dynasty, and it is also a world-famous academy. It is famous mainly because it produced a saint.
This saint is Zhu Sheng.
Naturally, the students who entered Bailu Academy respected Zhu Sheng's wishes and regarded them as their own, and one of them, a great scholar, respected Zhu Sheng extremely.
If you write a unique article yourself, and it is an article with a clear intention, it will naturally arouse the suspicion of the world.
Especially those who believe in Zhu Sheng's intention can't wait to find me. If this unique article of mine still continues Zhu Sheng's intention, it will be a great good thing for them.
Firstly, you can win over them, and secondly, you can learn and gain enlightenment.
But if they have a new idea, they will stop it in time and suppress it.
There are too many things involved here.
So, Xu Qingxiao understood at this moment.
"Uncle Li, that is to say, whether it is Master Wan from Tianming Academy or this Great Scholar Yan Lei, they all came to me just to write articles."
Xu Qingxiao asked.
As soon as he said this, Li Xin couldn't help but interrupt.
"Isn't this good? If I just come to see you, Brother Xu, no matter what the purpose of the article is, just say that you follow Zhu Sheng's wishes, follow their hearts, and resolve the matter. Then everyone will be happy, wouldn't it?
?"
Li Xin's idea is relatively simple.
Tell me this method.
But as soon as the words came out, both Xu Qingxiao and Li Guangxin spoke out almost at the same time.
"no!"
"No!"
Both of them rejected this idea in unison.
the reason is simple.
If you really admit that the article you wrote is a continuation of Zhu Sheng's intention, then this matter will be even more impossible to solve.
What does Zhu Sheng mean?
There are three, six or nine classes of people, scholars are the first class, and the rest are inferior.
With such an intention, if a military official commits murder against a scholar, it is a serious crime and cannot be tolerated.
Therefore, if you say that you support the will of the sage, then you cannot intercede for them. This is the sage's will.
But if you say that you are not continuing the saint's will, then the trouble will be even greater.
But the only advantage is that you can rescue these people.
But I will fall into a huge whirlpool. If I jump out, I will be a saint. If I can't jump out, I can wait for death. Of course, my mentality is fine, and I will be scolded by the world's literati.
Let the world misunderstand.
At this moment, Xu Qingxiao completely understood why Li Guangxin said that he should not get involved.
Yan Lei, a scholar, used this incident as an excuse to find out what he was doing.
This move is not a conspiracy, but an unsolvable conspiracy.
At this moment, Xu Qingxiao understood the seriousness of this matter.
He remained silent, and Li Guangxin continued to speak.
"This matter is already a dead end, and it involves not only an issue of intention, but also national law."
"In short, nephew Shouren, you really shouldn't get involved in this matter."
"If Yang Bao, Yang Hu and others are sent thousands of miles away, I will find someone to take care of them. It will be a bit difficult, but if you are lucky, you may be able to save your life."
Having said this, Li Guangxin patted Xu Qingxiao's shoulder as a form of comfort.
But when he said this, Li Guangxin himself didn't believe it.
Sent thousands of miles away, this is a poor place. How many people who work as hard labor can end well? They work hard every day, and if they don't do well, they have to be punished.
As for finding someone to support me, this kind of relationship is not reliable. At first, I might take care of you, but as time goes by, I will continue to do whatever I want.
So distribution is just a slow death.
"Thank you, Uncle Li, for your advice."
Xu Qingxiao replied, but he seemed a little worried and still thinking about this matter.
"Actually, there is not necessarily no chance of salvation. After a while, at the banquet in the hotel, I will personally plead with the other party. Maybe there is a chance of salvation, and I can fight for ten years in prison."
Li Guangxin comforted him a little.
Let Xu Qingxiao relax and have a snack.
Xu Qingxiao nodded and said nothing.
It's getting late.
Xu Qingxiao said goodbye, Li Xin sent Xu Qingxiao back to his room, and then turned back.
Seeing his father again, Li Xin couldn't help but speak.
"Father, is there really no chance of saving this matter?"
"Haier knows what Brother Xu means. He is a righteous man with unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. It is impossible for him to ignore death."
Li Xin asked.
In the lobby.
Li Guangxin shook his head. When Xu Qingxiao was around, he didn't dare to speak too absolutely.
However, facing his son, Li Guangxin spoke directly.
"This matter involves too much, and it has been taboo since ancient times according to the literati's opinion."
"Xu Qingxiao is indeed a great talent, but you must be diligent in trying to dissuade him. Just say a few nice words to the end. This can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous thing to do."
"Otherwise, it will lead to a big mistake, and he will be in real trouble. Ninety percent of the world's literati will be his enemies, and it will be even more difficult to move forward if he goes to the imperial court."
"Remember?"
Li Guangxin said that his son must carefully dissuade Xu Qingxiao in the past few days and not be reckless.
"My child understands, but if Brother Xu still insists, what should we do?"
Li Xin asked.
This sentence has another meaning.
The meaning is also very simple. If Xu Qingxiao insists on insisting and would rather offend the world's literati, then he should not be so close to Xu Qingxiao.
Will it affect his father's career?
"What do you mean?"
Li Guangxin understood instantly. He looked at his son and asked.
"My child's meaning is simple. Brother Xu is a man of justice and noble conduct. If Brother Xu offends the world's literati, my child is also willing to accompany Brother Xu."
"Such a man of unparalleled benevolence and righteousness is worthy of deep friendship."
"But the child is afraid that it will affect his father's career. In this case, it is unfilial. The child cannot make a choice for a while."
Li Xin expressed his feelings.
He valued Xu Qingxiao very much, especially Xu Qingxiao's willingness to help some officials and warriors, which made him admire him extremely.
If we make friends with such people, they will become true friends and we will help each other.
After hearing Li Xin's words, Li Guangxin thought for a while.
Finally he let out a long sigh.
"If that's the case, then follow your own wishes."
"Xu Qingxiao is indeed a rare talent. He is both talented and has such character. I used to think that he might become a great scholar in the future, but now it seems that he is at least a great scholar in the world."
"But if you should be discouraged, you should still be discouraged. Try not to go as far as possible."
Li Guangxin said nothing more.
He supports Li Xin.
"Yes, thank you father."
Li Xin made a ceremony and then left.
After Li Xin left, Li Guangxin let out a long sigh.
Looking at the moonlight outside the door, I don't know what I am thinking.
That's it.
Two days in a row.
It was spread that a great scholar came to Nanyu Mansion. For a moment, the whole Nanyu Mansion was shocked and surprised.
Then the officers and soldiers of Nanyu Prefecture began to search from house to house.
No one who participated in the fight two days ago, regardless of age or sex, could escape.
It can be said that some people in Nanyu Mansion were panicked these past two days, but most of them were still feeling aggrieved.
After all, foreign scholars went to Nanyu Mansion to provoke, but because of a misunderstanding, they went into war and arrested three or four hundred people.
There are many innocent people among them.
But if the people do not fight against the officials, they can only wait for the news and dare not act rashly, but the people are still angry.
Fortunately, the people heard about it, and Xu Qingxiao went to the prison in person and promised to save everyone.
So although I was a little angry, I put all my hopes on Xu Qingxiao.
Just like that, another two days.
The officers and soldiers of Nanyu Prefecture are still searching, and they are more serious than the previous two days.
From the previous participants to the current witnesses, everyone has been arrested, as well as some common people who spread rumors, and they have also been arrested. A small number of them have been released because they are indeed innocent.
The entire Nanyu Mansion can be said to be filled with panic.
But for the students of Tianming Academy, they were overjoyed. Some students even clapped and laughed when they saw the officers and soldiers arresting people.
It also caused some public resentment.
I'm just angry, but no one dares to take action.
With the lessons learned here, who would dare to attack scholars?
Lively.
But I can only endure it.
And on this day.
During the Wuchang period of the Great Wei Dynasty, the first government examination was also officially announced.
There is no doubt that the person ranked first is Xu Qingxiao.
Compare the liveliness of the major cities in the Wei Dynasty.
Nanyu Mansion seemed a little deserted.
Same thing today.
The Nanyu Mansion Lou Banquet is also being prepared. The Lou Banquet will be a warm welcome to all local scholars and literati, as well as officials from various prefectures and counties.
But many people know it.
I'm afraid there will be some trouble at today's banquet on the floor.
