Everyone knows that Lu Yu has a grudge against the Xu family.
Now, as soon as the two parties met, Xu Guangming was the first to make trouble, pointing out Lu Yu's identity.
Lu Yu was already a very popular minister in the past. He was not only a bachelor of the cabinet, but also a minister of the Ministry of War, and a high official in the border areas. He held military power and political power in his hands, and everyone was afraid of him.
But now, as Zhao Yuanyan issued an imperial edict, Lu Yu's title was suddenly taken away, leaving him only a civilian.
There were many officials present, and most of them were of high rank. According to the rules, Lu Yu had to salute them.
"Lu Yu, my emperor's new rule is that when common people see nobles and officials, they must kneel down and salute. Everything is in accordance with the old system. Please hurry up and kneel down and salute." Xu Guangming said with a sneer.
The red-robed eunuch on the side also smiled and said: "Lu Yu, I would like to remind you that there are historians from the Hanlin Academy around here who are recording. Everything that happened in Fengbo Pavilion today will be recorded in the history books. If you are not polite at this moment
, 80% of it will be recorded in the annals of history, and you will be remembered as a sin of great disrespect."
Only then did Lu Yu discover that behind the countless officials, there was a Hanlin in Tsing Yi, holding a history book and recording it.
They are historians, who have always been upright and recorded truthfully.
Lu Yu understood that this was Zhao Yuanyan's strategy.
He wanted to make Lu Yu make a fool of himself at this banquet, and then record it in the annals of history. In this way, Lu Yu's reputation would be ruined.
Historians are the most upright people. They will not be afraid of power, but will faithfully record everything they see. Therefore, once Lu Yu falls into a disadvantage at the banquet, it will definitely become a stain on Lu Yu in the future.
No wonder there were all civil servants present. Xu Guangming dared to challenge Lu Yu, but he was also sure that Lu Yu would not dare to take action.
"What's your name, slave?" Lu Yu looked at the eunuch in red.
The eunuch in red sneered: "Old slave Royal Horse Superintendent's palm print, Wang Zhen."
"Very good, Wang Zhen and Xu Guangming, they forced Wen Sheng's disciples to kneel down, with the intention of overpowering Wen Sheng."
Lu Yu looked at the stunned Tsing Yi Hanlin: "Write it down."
Everyone was stunned.
The smiles of Wang Zhen and Xu Guangming also froze on their faces.
They suddenly felt shocked, and then suddenly remembered a fact.
Disciples of the Literary Saint possess a transcendent status.
Because the emperor is also known as the disciple of Wen Sheng, the disciples of Wen Sheng and the emperor are actually brothers.
Because of this relationship, the status of Wen Sheng's disciples was significantly higher than that of other ministers.
Although the disciples of Wen Sheng may not have much power, in terms of reputation, they occupy the top level. Even if some great scholars see them, they must salute, and even if they meet princes, those princes must respect the Wen Sheng disciples.
Disciples of Wen Sheng, you don’t have to bow to the emperor when you see him!
Everyone is focusing on Lu Yu's official position and martial arts, but they ignore that Lu Yu is still a disciple of Wen Sheng!
It's no wonder that Wen Sheng Yihan actually provided very little help to Lu Yu, and there were even very few meetings between master and disciple.
In the eyes of the world, if you don't think about it carefully, it is difficult to think that Lu Yu still has this level of identity.
Wang Zhen and Xu Guangming panicked.
Once this incident is recorded, they will really be infamy for thousands of years and will not be tolerated by Confucianism.
Literary sage, in Confucianism, is an unquestionable and supreme existence.
If they dare to make Lu Yu kneel down, they are slapping Wen Sheng in the face!
"Wait, I forgot..."
Xu Guangming stood up, looking nervous.
"What are you waiting for? Take note!" Lu Yu shouted coldly.
