"Everyone, I have asked His Majesty for an order. If it fails, I will die!"
When Zhidu stood in the newly established Tongwen Mansion and carried out pre-mobilization, his subordinates were very excited. They were speechless with excitement and were trembling all over. They heard that the newly established organization in the DPRK was analogous to Jiuqing.
, there is a lot to be done, the officials were very excited, and asked to join one after another. Finally, they finally squeezed in, and this was what they heard.
Is it too late to quit now?
They looked at the young man above them. This young man always frowned, as if he had a deep hatred for the whole world. His eyebrows did not seem to be wrinkled on purpose, as if they were born that way. His eyes looked a little violent, and he chose to
The appearance of eating people is very scary, and his right hand is always on the hilt of the sword, as if he is always ready to draw the sword to kill people. With this appearance, most children will be frightened and cry when they see it.
Seeing his appearance, no one even had the courage to retreat.
Zhidu looked at them and said seriously: "You are all recommended by the various governments. It is not what I want. The general government does not support incompetent people. If it cannot be done well, it will be handed over to the Tingwei to be punished for the crime of neglecting government."
!”
"Your Majesty has entrusted us with such an important task, and we should complete it with all our strength... First of all, we need the right people to write. I need thirty celebrities with outstanding writing skills. I don't want those who study classics, but some well-known scribes...
.I have sent people to invite famous scholars from all over the country to come, but Your Majesty only gave me seven days. Therefore, before those famous scholars arrive, I have to summon famous scribes in Chang'an to do this."
As Zhidu was talking, an official asked: "Mr. Zhi, most of the famous scribes in the world are in Chu or Wu."
"His Majesty is not good at writing nowadays. How can he find a young scholar in Chang'an?"
"There are so many in Taixue!"
"I went to Taixue in person. I also have a list of names here. They are all famous scribes in Chang'an. You must find them all within today!"
"If they don't want to come..."
"Either bring the person, if they don't come, then bring me the head... If you can't even bring their head, then bring your own head..."
"only!!!!"
Most of the scribes at the moment were guests of the princes, so they were not easy to catch. But Zhidu had given this order, so they did not dare to say anything more. Anyway, with the chief officer on their side, they could just carry it out themselves.
.
On the day of the establishment of the newly established Tongwen Mansion, a group of officials rushed out of the mansion with swords and even armor. Some got on chariots and some brought war horses. Some people thought they were wearing embroidered clothes.
It's a branch.
Zhidu led his people to Taixue. Fuqiupo had just been released, but he met such a ruthless man again.
Liu Chang obviously didn't know that this young man who seemed to him a bit young and immature was actually the ruthless man with the most ruthless reputation in the history of the Han Dynasty.
One hundred and fifty suspicions, one hundred and eighty Chao errors, then this person is worth at least a thousand. This is a cruel official among cruel officials. He spends his life either scaring others or on the road of scaring others.
This guy was put on the spot, and the heads of the local wealthy families were rolling around when he was killed. Liu Jing called him an expert and bowed down. He killed people in the entire county without picking up their belongings. Even the wealthy families in more than a dozen surrounding counties were so frightened that they wanted to move away voluntarily. Seeing him was like seeing him.
When it comes to evil spirits, not only the wealthy families are afraid of him, but also the governors of these counties are so frightened by him that they have to bow to him every time they see him.
Later, when he was transferred to the temple, he began to scare the officials and the clan. Zhou Yafu was already the number one figure in the court at that time. Everyone was afraid of him, but he was not afraid at all.
Anyone who breaks the law will be punished with the most severe punishment, and he will not care about the identity of the other party. It doesn't matter whether you are a prince or a prince, he will kill you without mercy.
As a result, the dignitaries in the court began to run away when they saw him, calling him a goshawk.
When Liu Qi's prince Liu Rong was arrested, he also tortured him and interrogated him in the same way. Liu Rong was so frightened that he turned pale and tried to write a letter to his father, but Zhi refused.
The Queen Mother became furious and wanted to kill Zhidu, so Liu Qi dismissed him and sent him to Yanmen to become the prefect.
Then, this man couldn't find anyone to scare, so he went to scare the Huns. From the time when Zhidu came to power until his death, the Huns did not dare to approach Yanmen County... As he said, no matter what the situation,
No matter where he is placed, he can scare people.
This man's life can be said to be a legendary life, even more legendary than a certain King Li who led dozens of people to rebel. His name later became almost synonymous with ruthless officials, generals who conquered in battle, and minions of the country.
And this young minion has just begun his legendary journey.
Zhidu was not too rude to Fuqiubo, or in other words, he could accomplish this without doing so. "This is the time when the emperor's disciples serve the emperor!"
With just a few words, he summoned more than 20 students from Taixue. These were all the scribes with the best writing skills in Taixue. Zhi was very satisfied. Finally, he took away a few Confucian teachers from here, and then he hurriedly
After returning to Xinfu, Zhi was not willing to be idle for a moment. After studying in Taixue, he went to Shusun Tong's mansion in person.
Although Shusun Tong has resigned from office, he has the blessing of a founding minister and an old age, so it is not easy for ordinary people to handle him.
Shu Suntong disliked the cruel officials of the Legalists, but he would never object to the emperor's orders.
Shu Suntong's disciples looked at the man in front of them coldly, showing their hostility unabashedly.
But Zhi didn't even look at them. He just looked at Uncle Sun Tong and said seriously: "I know that Uncle Sun Tong has the best writing skills. If Uncle Sun Tong can help, Your Majesty will definitely be happy."
"Hahaha, I can't even lift a pen now... Besides, I have to be busy with the county school affairs... We have established another county school in Zheng County, and now..."
Before Shusuntong finished speaking, Zhidu stood up and left.
His disciples were furious, "This guy is so rude!!"
Shusun Tong stopped them with a smile, and said to his left and right: "This person is definitely not a kind person. It's best not to provoke him..."
So, on this day, the people of Chang'an City watched the carriages speeding past. There were scoldings and cries of pain from the scribes, and several ferocious officials escorted them, running back and forth. They were all a little surprised.
Asking each other, "What's going on?"
"No problem, I heard that the temple has set up a new office to arrest scribes... It seems to be called the Office to Capture Scholars..."
In less than a day, Tongwen Mansion was filled with scribes from both inside and outside Chang'an. Reluctance was written on the faces of these people, but the bright swords of the officials around them made them shut up.
"They are finished... I am a good friend of Prince Ying Ke of Chu... I will send someone to inform him later!"
"So what...I was caught at the banquet in Prince Chu's mansion, and they just took me back..."
"I am Prince Chu..."
Liu Yingke, who was hiding in the crowd, said helplessly. Several scribes around him were shocked. They turned around and saw that it was indeed the Prince of Chu.
"Prince?! Why were you arrested too?"
"I went to that Zhidu to plead for you. He asked me why I had summoned so many scribes. I said that I was very accomplished in this way, so he brought me here..."
"How dare he?! You are His Majesty's brother!"
Zhidu cleared his throat and interrupted everyone's noise. He looked at everyone, glanced at them, and then started to divide into groups of six people. After dividing the groups, he explained a few words to the officials, and then
They were taken to various houses to do things. Among these people, there were reluctant scribes, students who were eager to do things, and even world-famous old celebrities. After being taken to each house, they followed the officials
As instructed, I started writing the article.
Liu Yingke sat obediently in the room. As the prince of Liu Jiao, he did not inherit any of the character traits of the old Liu family. He did not like men and women, did not cause trouble, did not like to drink, and was polite on weekdays. When he was bored,
Just write some articles and talk about poetry and other things with a few scribes, which is considered an alternative to the old Liu family.
If the other clans were arrested like this, they would have to fight back with one or two punches. Of course, there is no need to arrest those clans. What are they doing to find some husbands to write for the emperor?
"Your Majesty has pity on the ministers in the world. Most of these ministers were forced to become ministers due to natural and man-made disasters. Since then, they have been insulted and beaten. Your Majesty has pity on them. Although the weather is good now, if there is any disaster in the future,
More people will fall to this point. Therefore, His Majesty will establish a new membership, allow them to transfer, and prohibit others from beating and insulting... Let's write an article focusing on this... Okay,
Let’s start writing!”
The person in charge of this room is Zhidu. He kindly reminded: "This is a major matter ordered by His Majesty. I hope you will take it seriously. If you fool the emperor, it will be a crime of treason and the three tribes will be punished."
Hearing this sentence, a scribe couldn't help but sneered and whispered: "If you are brave enough, go and kill the three clans of the Prince of Chu... Let's see who kills whom..."
Even though that was what he said, the scribe still picked up the pen very wisely.
Zhidu looked at Liu Yingke and said, "Prince Chu, you can start writing now!"
Liu Yingke also quickly picked up the pen and started writing.
In this room, Liu Yingke was the fastest to finish, probably because he had been studying these things on weekdays. When he finished writing, the others were still thinking hard, although they were reluctant, but after they actually started writing, they
Forgetting these things, most literati have the idea of competition in their hearts. They also want to write the same topic well and not be compared by their peers. After all, they rely on reputation to make a living.
Most of the scribes would work as hangers-on, but there are relatively few people who do not have the ability to know, and reputation is the best certificate. With a good reputation, they can eat and drink among the princes, write some articles and boast about it.
When it comes to people like them, of course, the current number one in the Han literary world is Lu Jia.
Lu Jia was a political strategist with the best writing skills, and he was also a writer with the best eloquence. He was even an academic master who implemented the three schools of thought. It can only be said that a certain King Li used him as a pure lobbyist.
It's still a bit too incompetent, and the one who can equal or even break his status is probably Jia Yi, one of the same three academic leaders.
Liu Yingke was very excited and picked up the written article and handed it to Zhi Du to read.
Zhidu looked at it seriously for a moment, but his expression was a little hesitant.
"Prince...please come back."
"ah???"
"I arrested the wrong person. Please forgive me and please go back."
Zhidu returned the article to Liu Yingke, and then made room for him to leave.
At that moment, Liu Yingke felt his heart breaking, while Zhidu looked at the rest of the people and said: "What the emperor needs is the best article. I also invited you here based on the rumors.
If you feel you can't finish it, you can leave with the prince now."
After hearing these words, everyone's faces turned red. Just now they were reluctant, but now no one was willing to leave with the prince.
Finally, the lost Liu Yingke left here alone. Looking at the lonely back of the prince, the scribes looked at each other with hostility in their eyes and quickly buried themselves in writing. It would be okay if he was invited out now, then
If your reputation is completely ruined, how can you behave in the future? How can you go around eating and drinking? Isn’t this a loss of jobs?
From now on, when I go out, others will point their noses and say, "Are you the scribe who is not even willing to catch Zhi?"
They suddenly realized that being arrested by Zhidu at this moment was a kind of honor. It meant that their status was recognized and they must not be let out by him!!!
While Tongwen Mansion was busy with important matters, Liu Yingke was walking alone on the street, followed by two soldiers.
At this moment, Liu Yingke just felt sad and angry. I obviously write so well, is it all an illusion? I don’t know how to write at all??
A carriage flew past, and Liu Yingke didn't even pay attention. But soon, the carriage came back again and stopped beside Liu Yingke.
"Father Zhong?? Why are you here?"
Liu Yingke raised his head, and standing in front of him were several Youzi, Anxiang Qixianyan.
"well...."
Liu Yingke sighed. Seeing Father Zhong's appearance, several people were even more curious. Liu Xiang and the others even rolled up their sleeves, "Father Zhong?! But someone insulted you?! Tell us, it's
Who is it?!”
On weekdays, they did not have much contact with Liu Yingke. Even if Liu Yingke held a banquet, they would not go. It was not because they looked down upon Liu Yingke, but because there was no wine at Liu Yingke's banquet and they did not know this well-written guy.
Why don't you drink? Anyway, it's a very boring banquet. Everyone is quoting scriptures. Except for Liu An, no one else can participate.
They took Liu Yingke to a nearby wine shop, openly violating the ban on drinking together. Liu Yingke couldn't bear their questioning and had to tell what happened today.
"Zhidu is just executing orders, so I can't say he's wrong. It's just that I... don't have enough knowledge..."
Liu An frowned and said, "Father Zhong...is that argument still there?"
"Give..."
Liu An lowered his head and read it carefully for a long time, "It's very good... But, Father Zhong, what you wrote is too profound. This theory is meant to be read by people all over the world, so naturally the simpler it is.
The better, you write so profoundly, how can they understand it? This is not because you are not good enough, it is just because your writing is so good!"
Liu Yingke was shocked and asked: "Is this really the case?"
"That's natural!"
Liu Yingke's mood immediately improved a lot, and he regained his smiling appearance. He immediately called the store and asked them to buy some food from outside to entertain these young people. Liu Xiang took the opportunity to secretly pull Liu An.
sleeve, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Ahem, don't ask any more questions."
"Then who is Zhidu?"
Liu Qi asked curiously.
Liu Xiang shook his head, "Haven't you heard... This guy is simply the evil one..."
"Xiang!!"
"What a vicious dog! He set up a new mansion and needed manpower. Then... my aunt found a few ministers and wanted Yan to come in and get some seniority... He actually arrested Yan for bribery and said that he would
When Yan was executed, you didn’t know that Chai Wu went to save him in person, but he detained him together and said they were to be executed together for the crime of harboring. The knife almost dropped. In the end, it was Zhang Meng who went there with His Majesty’s order, and then a few people were killed.
Brought out..."
"hiss...."
Liu Qi took a breath of air, "He dares to arrest Yan? And he wants to execute him?!"
Everyone knows that Zhang Yan is very loved by the Queen Mother, not to mention Zhang Yan’s mother Liu Le, who is the eldest sister who even His Majesty must be courteous to. This is a blatant provocation to the Queen Mother and the eldest princess...
"Then aunt and eldest mother didn't want to kill him?"
"My aunt rushed to Chang'an in a hurry. I heard that she is still crying and complaining to my eldest mother. My eldest mother is also very angry. My father is very worried..."
"However, this guy can also do things. When he makes a fuss, only the elite are left in his house, and they can do things very quickly. Others don't dare to look down on him because of his age... You
Look, it only took him one day to gather the scribes to write the article. If someone else comes and gathers fifty scribes, how long will it take??"
"So what? This guy actually dares to arrest our father-in-law!!"
Liu Xun was very angry. He rolled up his sleeves and exposed his thick arms, "Today, I must avenge my father, my aunt, and my eldest mother. We will wait for this guy to be alone and attack him suddenly."
With my bravery, it’s still very light to hit him..."
"fart!"
Liu Xiang cursed and said disdainfully: "Chai Wu took people to his mansion, fought with him directly, and then he knocked him down. He is still on the bed... Chai Wu, the founding general of the country.
.A warrior who has been protecting Emperor Gao for a long time...What do you think of you compared to Chai Wu??"
Liu Xuan immediately stopped talking, put his sleeves back, and said: "Forget it, we don't have the same experience as him..."
Liu Yingke returned to them at this moment. Everyone started to eat wine, but Liu Yingke did not drink.
"Father Zhong, just take a bite!"
"It's okay... If you are drunk, we will take you back..."
Several people kept urging him to drink. Liu Yingke hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to take a sip. He said: "You can't make me lose my temper...I don't like drinking...sigh..."
Everyone drank for a long time.
When they came out of the wine shop, Liu Yingke was staggering. At some point he opened his sleeves, looked around angrily, and roared: "My father, King Chu!! Who dares to say that my article is not good? I
I have to stab him! Where is my sword? My sword??"
"Father Zhong...Father Zhong...go back, go back..."
"What are you talking about, Xian, go and find some beauties for me! Get me some meat! Go quickly!!"
"I have to fall in love with that thief today... dares to look down on me? I'm going to drown in his crown!"
Several people had dark faces, and Liu An looked at Liu Xiang seriously.
