When Wang Zhong was running all the way to the Wu Chao Gate, Wei Zheng was facing a group of scholars who were blocking the Wu Chao Gate and shouting at the top of their lungs with a straight face.
"A group of people follow what is said, don't know what they are talking about, and don't even know the truth, so they dare to run outside the Wuchao Gate and threaten the court?"
Wei Zheng had a straight face and glanced at them coldly, wishing he could slap them in the face.
"Prince An, the founding prince of Chang'an County, has made great contributions to the country. He has been granted the title of marquis and given titles, which is what everyone expects. Your Majesty has appointed him. How can you, a bunch of ignorant fools who don't know right and wrong, make arrogant opinions?"
"The title of the imperial court is an important weapon of the country. It should have both talent and virtue. Prince An acted recklessly and forgot his ancestors. Even a wealthy family like the Wang family of Taiyuan dared to come and smash them and bully them in public, let alone ordinary people? If he was allowed to gain power,
Is there any way for ordinary people like us to survive? Such a person, whose virtue is not worthy of his place, how can he stand on the throne alongside all the princes in the court?"
Although they didn't know why the court officials they had agreed to didn't show up, they still gritted their teeth and decided to fight to the end.
This is a good opportunity to show off your character!
When they thought of the Wang family's promises, these people couldn't help but feel hot in their hearts, and they went back without showing any weakness.
How dare you talk back!
Wei Zheng was so amused by the idiots in front of him that he raised his goatee and glanced at them sarcastically.
"What does morality mean? The sleds and ice beds contributed by the Marquis of Chang'an solved the court's food transportation dilemma and the crisis of food shortage in Chang'an in one fell swoop. The army trained by the Marquis of Chang'an personally defeated the Turkic army threatening the border in one fell swoop.
He played an irreplaceable role in pacifying the battle of Mobei here and made a great contribution——"
Having said this, he glanced at the group of scholars who were still unwilling to give up, and his voice became colder and sterner.
"The Marquis of Chang'an protects the country and the people, and contributes to the imperial court, the country, and the people of the country. Is this called virtue not worthy of its place? When he is working hard for the country and the court, where are you so-called moral people? Not to the prince.
An is granted the title of Marquis, are you going to grant the title of Marquis to you idiots?"
"Seeing that spring is approaching, you don't want to study at home, but you come here to gather people to make trouble and wantonly slander the heroes of the imperial court. Do you have virtue? Where is your virtue?"
"Getting carried away? Counting the classics and forgetting your ancestors? Whose ancestors did he forget? A bunch of stupid fools! Get out of here - otherwise, I will take them all down and charge you with slandering the imperial officials and disrupting the order of the court -"
Wei Zheng glanced at them with disdain.
"You idiots, you haven't even understood the book yet, yet you still dare to imitate others and behave like others. I think you're just out of your mind -"
Everyone was momentarily overwhelmed by Wei Zheng's momentum and subconsciously took a step back.
But in an instant, I realized something was wrong——
What are you afraid of——
This court is not Wei Zheng's alone. People like him are supported by the Wang family. I believe that as long as people like me continue to make trouble and make things bigger, those people behind the Wang family will naturally stand up and support themselves!
Well, keep up the good work!
Isn't this the time to show off your abilities?
Thinking of this, a tall and thin young man took a step forward, stood up, and saluted Wei Zheng.
"Students have heard that Secretary Wei has always been impartial and outspoken. When I saw him today, I was really disappointed - he turned out to be just a favoritist. Now in Chang'an, who doesn't know that you and Wang Zi'an have a close friendship?
?”
Having said this, the tall and thin young man took a step forward again with a solemn look on his face.
"Secretary Wei's reputation is not easy to come by, why should he ruin his reputation for a villain? I am not a talented student. I privately think that if you are really selfless, at this time, you should cherish your feathers and avoid taboos on your own initiative instead of relying on your status. Here,
Threatening and intimidating me—"
Wei Zheng:......
Such a strong head!
What benefits has the Wang family promised you?
At this time, many court officials had gathered outside the Wuchao Gate to watch the excitement.
"This group of young people are really brave. It is rare to be able to speak out for justice without caring about their own safety and reputation."
Some officials shook their heads and sighed meaningfully.
This caused many people to nod in agreement.
This group of scholars suddenly felt confident!
Our support has arrived!
Suddenly, as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, their backs straightened up even more, and the expressions on their faces became more serious.
"The students and others, although they are soft-spoken, can't just watch the villain succeed and the court be humiliated. Today, even if blood is splashed three feet, the true face of Wang Zi'an will be exposed -"
Wei Zheng was so angry that his beard was trembling.
This is getting more and more exciting.
"How can I allow you to wantonly slander the heroes of the imperial court? Come and blast me——"
However, before he finished speaking, someone stood up with a smile.
"Wait a minute - Secretary Wei, why bother getting angry with a group of young students? They are just a group of young people who are worried about the court and sharing the worries of their father. What bad intentions can they have..."
"Wang Che——"
Wei Zheng suddenly turned around, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous aura.
He can still be patient with this group of stupid students who don't know what to do and are being taken advantage of, but with someone like this who jumps out of the platform, there is nothing to say.
"Do you know what you are doing? Using your body to make false accusations against the courtiers. If you retreat in time, you can still think that they are young and ignorant, and they are wide open. If they don't know how to advance or retreat, or are maliciously instigated by someone with ulterior motives, the nature will be different——"
Wang Che turned a blind eye to Wei Zheng's danger and cupped his hands calmly.
"Secretary Wei's supervision has been serious. Even His Majesty has opened up the air to speak out. Now that I'm here with you, why don't people in the world be allowed to speak..."
Wei Zheng:......
Can it be the same thing as being a bitch, speaking freely, and wantonly slandering?
Just when Wei Zheng was so angry that his beard was trembling and he was about to go crazy, a young chamberlain held a roll of paper, walked briskly to him, and slightly cupped his hand.
"Mr. Wei, please see——"
As he spoke, he handed over the roll of paper he held in his hand.
Wei Zheng looked stunned and opened it in front of everyone with some doubts. Under the guidance of the young chamberlain, he instantly discovered the "Shocked——".
Looking ten lines at a time, the more Wei Zheng looked, the weirder his expression became. At the end, he glanced at the group of scholars who were still standing uprightly in front of him, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a sarcastic smile.
Snapped--
Throwing the newspaper on the face of Wang Che, who looked calm and straightened his back, trying to pose himself.
"Idiot - you are still the imperial censor! Please find out the truth before you speak - take it back and take a good look at it for yourself -"
How could Wang Che have imagined that the old thief Wei Zheng would dare to slap him in the face in public?
His face instantly turned red, his brain was congested, and he was completely confused——
