"Confucius once said, when dealing with my enemies, I will put my shield under my pillow every day, and always remind myself not to forget about revenge. I would rather not be an official, but I would rather live with my enemies. Don't let me touch this bastard.
If you encounter someone anywhere, on the street or in the court, without thinking, just pick up the guy and beat him to death..."
"Mencius said that integrity is more important than life! Now the ministers are using words to kill my teacher. How can I not avenge such revenge? I want to put my shield and sharp knife on my pillow like Confucius said.
Now, no matter where you see these enemies, kill them!"
"Everyone, am I right?!"
Liu Chang looked at the Confucian scholars. Shusun Tong secretly thought something was wrong. Sure enough, the next moment, the young Confucian scholars stood up. They clenched their fists, looked resentful, and cursed: "The traitor has gone too far! Your Majesty.
That's right! Please take us with you, we are willing to follow the king and kill them! After killing them, we will commit suicide together with the king!"
"Yes! Kill them!"
The Qun Xian and She people on Liu Chang's side also stood up in a hurry. The Qun Xians really wanted to kill him, but the She people were just pretending. Oh, Zhang Buyi really meant it.
Shusuntong took a breath of air.
"Everyone, our Confucian school is based on benevolence and has been a prominent scholar in the past. However, now the traitors are in power and deliberately suppress our Confucian school, even the direct disciples of Xunzi! They just want to make the world hate our Confucian school. How can we endure it?
?”
"They want to slander my teacher because they want to replace him with an old man, sit back and enjoy the success, and claim the achievements of Confucianism as their own! How can there be such a shameless person in the world?!"
"hateful!!"
Seeing the young Confucian scholars shouting in excitement, Shusun Tong suddenly felt a little despair about the future of Confucianism. With such idiots, when he was no longer around, wouldn't Confucianism be doomed?
Liu Chang then looked at Shu Sun Tong and said: "Father Zhong, you are a great scholar in the court. I have always respected you very much. This time, I am willing to listen to your ideas. Tell me what I should do."
Woolen cloth?"
Shusun Tong narrowed his eyes, and then shouted loudly: "The Queen Mother is still here, how can the king do such an unfilial thing?!"
Liu Chang lowered his head in grievance, "Then what should I do?"
"If you insult our Confucianism, we are the ones to make the decision... Although my Confucianism is not as good as before, it is not something that others can bully at will! Leave this matter to me!"
"Ah? But...how dare I trouble you?"
There were tears in Liu Chang's eyes. Shusun Tong held his hand and said seriously: "Your Majesty is Xunzi's successor. I also know that Prime Minister Zhang is not the kind of person who ignores etiquette and law. He must have some small character."
Someone has framed me! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely seek justice for Prime Minister Zhang."
The two of them acted as wise ministers here, but the young Confucian scholars were full of high morale.
Liu Chang started chatting with Shu Suntong, and the Confucian scholars also chatted with several scholars.
"Father Zhong, I left a few Confucian scholars to help Shangfang, and I will let them go back later..."
"No need, let them continue to help. If they can help the king, that is their blessing!"
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhang is very weak in the Tang Dynasty. If more Confucian disciples can be employed, perhaps he can be used as a boost."
"Okay, I am looking for more talents to go to the Tang Dynasty. Father Zhong can recommend them. I can use them as many as I have!"
The two chatted for a while, and then Liu Chang asked: "How are Father Zhong going to solve this matter?"
Shusun Tong stroked his beard and said, "It's simple. Just watch it, Your Majesty."
When Liu Chang left, Shusun Tong said goodbye with a smile. Although Liu Chang achieved his goal, for some reason, when he saw Shusun Tong's satisfied smile, he always felt a little strange in his heart. Why did he feel that he had suffered a loss?
What? How could Shusun Tong be so happy after being involved in it?
Seeing that Liu Chang was a little confused, Luan Bu walked up to him and said, "The king is wondering why Shusun Tong agreed so quickly?"
"Yeah...he agreed too quickly..."
Luan Bu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that I told you that Confucianism also has different factions?"
"Um."
"Your Majesty may not know that Shusun Tong has been working for Confucianism for the purpose of uniting different schools of thought... Your master doesn't want to see him. He calls him a cheap Confucian when he meets him, and Qi Luchu and other Confucians don't want to see him either.
When I met him, I felt that he had no integrity and only knew how to flatter... He was also waiting for the opportunity to unite with Confucianism..."
"This matter is beneficial to the king, and it is even more beneficial to him."
Liu Chang suddenly realized it and cursed: "This guy is really awesome!"
"Although I don't like his fabricated allusions, I respect him very much. Most of today's Confucian schools only think about themselves, but he only thinks about Confucianism as a whole... Regardless of his own reputation, he must revitalize Confucianism.
..It's a pity...if he had been born a hundred years earlier..."
Shusun Tong worked very quickly. Almost on the same day, the Confucian scholars in the temple presented memorials one after another, but they did not care about Zhang Cang. They were staring at the ministers who impeached Zhang Cang, and they also made up a lot of unfounded stories.
The charges were slapped on their heads. First of all, the etiquette and laws in the early Han Dynasty were formulated by Shusun Tong himself. He knew what was in line with etiquette and what was not.
In addition, due to Liu Bang's indifference, not many etiquette laws in the early Han Dynasty were actually implemented, and most of the ministers acted arbitrarily. Therefore, if Shusun Tong was serious about calculations, no matter which minister, he would be put in dozens of pots.
At the same time, Shusun Tong also wrote letters to the great Confucians in various places, asking them to support Zhang Cang and attack the villain.
Shusun Tong has not offended anyone in these years and has kept his tail between his legs. Therefore, among the officials, not many people took him seriously. They also forgot that almost all of Shusun Tong's disciples were serving as ministers in the court.
Specially responsible for supervising etiquette, when these people began to exert their collective efforts, the impeachment memorial in front of Liu Ying fell like snowflakes, and Liu Ying was shocked.
The ministers originally wanted to show their faces, but Shusun Tong asked them to show their butts. They could no longer take care of Zhang Cang and began to counterattack Shusun Tong's offensive.
"You rotten scholar who deserves to be killed has bullied others too much! He has bullied others too much!!"
Gai Gong couldn't help shouting in Tianlu Pavilion, well, Gai Gong actually did not attack Zhang Cang, but the city gate was on fire, which affected Chiyu. Gai Gong was reading his book honestly in Tianlu Pavilion, and Shusun Tongna
The disciples who helped kill him also impeached him. The reason for impeachment was very simple. According to the system, Gai Gong should report the status of the princes to the emperor every day, but Gai Gong did not do this. He just read his own
Book.
The Confucian scholars said that he was not worthy of being a teacher, that he was a selfish villain, etc. Gai Gong was furious.
Liu Chang sat obediently in front of him and nodded, "Yes, it's so hateful. The Confucians are bullying me, Mr. Huang, and no one!"
Gai Gong looked at him coldly, "You brought Shusun Tong into this, right?"
"Master, how can you slander me like this! How can I, Chang Liu, be such a villain?!"
"Master, we, Mr. Huang, have to cultivate our minds and cultivate our character. We must not get angry. Master, please do not argue..."
Gai Gong took a deep breath and put down the sword in his hand.
"Master, let's continue studying."
Gai Gong picked up the book, said a few words with a straight face, then put down the book angrily, stood up with the sword, "No, I have to have a good chat with Shu Sun Tong!" Gai Gong left angrily.
However, Liu Chang did not dare to stop him. He picked up the book and started reading by himself. He could only wish Shusuntong good luck.
What Liu Chang didn't know was that at this moment, the atmosphere in the Xuanshi Palace was extremely depressing.
"I am a lonely monarch. I was born in a swamp and grew up on the grassland. I have come to the border many times, hoping to visit the Central Plains. Your Majesty is an independent monarch, but he is also lonely. He lives alone, and we are two widowed monarchs.
We are all unhappy and have no way to entertain ourselves. We might as well trade what we have for what we have nothing..."
Queen Lu's eyes widened, her face flushed, murderous, and she could no longer contain the anger in her heart.
Liu Ying jumped up suddenly, drew her sword, and shouted: "Where is the envoy?!"
He was about to rush out, but Zhou Bo hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the emperor.
"Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, calm down!"
"I am going to attack the Huns!! I am going to kill Mao Dun!!"
Liu Ying roared angrily. Today, the Huns' envoy from Maodun brought a letter, and the content of the letter was to express his love to Queen Lu. Queen Lu was angry, and Liu Ying was even more so, with bloodshot eyes.
.
"Even if Your Majesty wants to go out to conquer the Huns, he still has to discuss it with the ministers... Going out to attack the Huns is no small matter!"
After Zhou Bo tried hard to persuade, Liu Ying stopped struggling. His eyes widened and he shouted: "Convene a court meeting! Discuss the expedition!!"
