There were more and more students in the academy, and the common people's mentality changed from just watching the excitement to a solemn look. The hawkers' cries were much quieter, and even the rangers who were unobstructed also lowered their voices.
The atmosphere was contagious, and before long, the entire Suzaku Street became dead silent.
A yellow dog squeezed out of the crowd with its tail between its legs and took away a piece of meat that a woman had put in a basket. The woman discovered it and screamed angrily to take her piece of meat from the dog's mouth.
Pick up the fat meat you just bought.
Du Ruhui walked with official steps, full of dignity, came to the front of the team, glanced at it, his eyes were fixed on Ma Zhou's face for a long time, but Ma Zhou was not afraid and held up the cup in his hand.
He looked at Du Ruhui without giving in.
Du Ruhui, wearing purple clothes and a jade belt, towering with a tall crown, holding a banquet in his arms, was filled with black writing in small regular script. He felt deeply in his heart that things happened so suddenly. No one expected that a small conflict of opinions would turn into what it is now.
A situation that cannot be dealt with.
He no longer looked at the students below. There were many juniors he knew well. The silly boy from the Yuchi family sat there like an iron tower. The bald head of the boy from the Duan family was very conspicuous. When he saw his son from the crowd, the corner of his mouth curled up.
He twitched unconsciously.
"Marquis Yun, His Majesty announces your presence in the palace." After saying that, he turned and left, seemingly not wanting to stay for a moment.
Ma Zhou stood up and wanted to go in with Yun Ye, but Yun Ye glared at him and sat down obediently. It was not that he was timid, but that he was not qualified to go to the palace now.
After entering the Zhuque Gate, Du Ruhui sighed and asked Yun Ye: "Why is this happening?" "How did I know that just now I was holding my child at home, happy and carefree, but who knew that an hour later I would be sitting in front of the palace and forcing His Majesty.
"When it comes to anger, Yun Ye is even more angry than him.
"You don't know?" Du Ruhui looked surprised. He originally thought that Yun Ye wanted to find his own position in the court, thus starting this huge revolution and building momentum for himself. This was the only way to advance in the officialdom.
"Then what are you doing sitting there? Why don't you take all your disciples back quickly? It's inexplicable." "It's easy to say. If they could take them back, Master Li and Xu Jingzong would have taken them back already. I would have to take action."
, the students in the academy are different from Taixue, and are different from Hongwen Hall. The academy is very strict, speaks freely, has no taboos, and tries to preserve everyone's natural characteristics. Now they are all as stubborn as donkeys, and all the gentlemen in the academy are tied up by them.
On the chariot, I couldn't move. I knew it was a pit of fire, but I had to jump down. I did the same. Now I hope that your majesty will vent all your anger on me and not affect them.
Prime Minister Du, once I meet with His Majesty, please give me a few kind words. All your mistakes are my fault. Just punish me."
Du Ruhui was also a person who had been through a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. He had a hot temper. When he heard Yun Ye's words, he became angry. He grabbed Yun Ye's neck and said viciously: "I'm staying at home now to listen to the ginseng.
Being scolded as a rat bird, you still want me to intercede for you. Is there such a cheap thing in this world?
You set the fire yourself and clean it up yourself. I have saved my face by not adding insult to injury."
Yun Ye chuckled, pulled Du Ruhui's sleeve and said, "Xiang Du, if you don't plead, I will tell you that the big boss here is Du Yan. I refused to listen to my repeated advice, so they coerced me into doing this."
field."
Du Ruhui pointed at Yun Ye with a trembling hand and said: "Shameless, especially shameless. It is a lifelong shame for me to serve as an official in the same court as you. It seems that if Your Majesty is going to punish you, you are also going to make trouble with the King of Wei and the King of Shu.
Yes or no?"
"Thanks to Prime Minister Du, that's what I'm thinking in my heart. Not only your Majesty, but also the Baiguan who doesn't let go of the academy students, I will drag him into the water too. As for the kid, these hundred and ten kilograms are at your disposal. As long as you
Calm down your anger and suppress this matter. I will be responsible for any consequences. What do you think, Mr. Du?"
Du Ruhui let out a long sigh, brushed off Yun Ye's hand grabbing his sleeve, looked at Yun Ye and said seriously: "You are qualified as a teacher. It is a blessing for those students to have you under your protection. I care about you."
In terms of benevolence in loving and caring for your disciples, I can say that you should be careful. Your Majesty is very angry, so be careful."
They entered the main hall one after another. The atmosphere in the court hall was very depressing. The officials sat on their own mats, looking at their noses and minds, just like an old monk in meditation. The commotion outside seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Li Er was sitting on a high throne, his face covered by a crown of heaven, and he couldn't see his happiness or anger.
"Your Majesty, Yun Ye, pays homage to you." He lay down obediently and asked for forgiveness. This is the treatment of a guilty minister. Who would be a good person and kowtow to him?
Li Er's sneer was like a crow circling low in the sky, "Yun Ye, are you so brave, are you arrogant because of being favored? How dare you encourage students to sit quietly in the palace and put pressure on me, thinking that I can't kill you, a minister with ulterior motives?"
What? "Yun Ye closed his eyes and said nothing. Talking too much at this time would be wrong. We can only wait for Li Er's anger to be vented before he can plead for mercy. Otherwise, Li Er is on fire now and talking too much will only do bad things. "I'm sorry for the academy.
You have always been indulgent, but now it seems that you are not the only one who is arrogant and favored, the entire academy is like this, Li Gang, Yu Shan, Yuan Zhang, Li Shi, Xu Jingzong are all like this. I can build an academy or close it."
This is not okay. How should we properly talk about the matter of shutting down the academy? I spent hundreds of thousands of money to get it to its current scale. Why should you, a vested interest, shut it down at your own discretion? Isn’t this going to cost me my life?
"Your Majesty, the court does not belong to the humble ministers. If the students gathering now to remonstrate are forcing Your Majesty, the humble ministers cannot agree. None of them are arguing for their own interests. They are all for the long-term peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone
They all hope that the Tang Dynasty will last for thousands of years. If there is a mistake, it is also in a wrong way, but Wei Chen believes that there is no time for students to clarify their opinions to the principal."
"Your Majesty, Yun Ye is using his clever words and seductions to make light of the serious crime of forcing the palace. Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to kill this clever and seductive person."
Linghu Defen, the Minister of Rites, came out to start the class. He is the bishop of Hongwen Hall. He has long been extremely dissatisfied with the prosperity of the academy. Hongwen Hall has not recruited students with outstanding qualifications for two years. This is poaching him.
, there is no reason not to put Yun Ye to death whenever there is a chance.
If he just said severe punishment, maybe Li Er would agree. In Li Er's view, Yun Ye lacked discipline and could be punished. The idea of killing Yun Ye had never appeared in his mind.
Du Ruhui, Kong Yingda, and Chu Suiliang all sighed secretly, Linghu Deben shot himself in the foot.
Sure enough, Li Chengqian, who was sitting at the head of the class, was furious. He pointed at Linghu Defen and said: "It's just a small dispute. The students are just patriotic. The procedures and methods are wrong. As a teacher, it's just a matter of ordering them to change.
Why do you want to mention killing people in the court? The court has not heard any news of killings for two years. Now, do you want to kill someone again for a trivial matter? Your Majesty, I think that Lord Linghu Defen's revenge is unbecoming of a minister. Please
This person was expelled from the court to set the standard for the court. "The prince's words were very serious. Linghu Defen lowered his head sadly and did not dare to argue with the prince anymore. The consequences would be too serious.
"Your Majesty, the students are worried about the world, and the suggestions they put forward are well-founded. Even if our emperor cannot accept these suggestions for the time being, why can't he be more tolerant to them? When the minister entered the palace, swords and guns gathered from all sides. If he was not careful,
, it will bleed, and the consequences will be even more dangerous." Li Er threw down the ten-thousand-character book on the table and said to Yun Ye: "Look, look at what they said, Zhuyong modulated his own words.
Since it was exercised, the world has been at peace. It doesn’t matter. Just because you have some talent and learning in your heart, you dare to despise the ministers of the world and call them rats and sparrows. Do you have some respect for your predecessors in your heart? You are a bold person. Are you in the academy?
Are you going to teach all my students to be daring? "Li Er is such a scheming person. He puts himself and his students on the same footing in one sentence. Yun Ye was kicked out. Obviously, Yun Ye was the one who was punished this time.
Ye never thought of escaping.
"Student Hu Wei, the fault lies with the teacher. Yun Ye, as the supervisor of the academy, is unforgivable. Dali Temple will investigate and deal with it as appropriate." This means that Yun Ye has taken all the blame. Li Er did not let Yun Ye take Li Tai.
, Li Ke took the opportunity and called the students to the imperial garden to have a party with the principal. Yun Ye went to Dali Temple alone with Dai Zhou, the minister of Dali Temple, to receive punishment.
"Uncle Dai, my nephew is weak. Do you think I can get a few less blows?" Dai Zhou said with a smile, "I won't do it this time, but I will be put in solitary confinement? When did Dali Temple learn this trick?"
No confinement. "After Dai Zhou said this, Yun Ye's heart sank. This is definitely not a good sign. If you don't give a warning and don't confine him, it means that things are more troublesome than expected.
"Boy Yun, don't you think you had an easy time in today's court? Except for Linghu, no minister in the court came out to speak? Do you think everyone is afraid of a newly grown prince?"
Looking at Dai Zhou's old fox-like smile, Yun Ye felt as if he was standing naked in the ice and snow, a chill soaking into his bones. Indeed, the joke-like confrontation was very inconsistent with the previous tense atmosphere, so there was only one possibility.
Dai Zhou patted Yun Ye on the shoulder and continued: "You are wrong. Do you think the academy and His Majesty colluded to frame you? That's not the case. Your disciples are good, and those old gentlemen are also good, and they all want to hide it from you.
By taking over this matter, have you ever doubted the person who delivered the letter to your Yun family? ""So, there are no students making trouble, and there is no tit-for-tat, everything is just a show played by His Majesty?"
"I don't know. I only know that Your Majesty wanted to see the court's control over the academy. Perhaps seeing that you were too involved, Your Majesty stopped the ministers from continuing to perform this play. Your grand theater performs plays every day.
You know what's going on."
"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty asked me to tell you this, and also told you not to trust others easily. It was Your Majesty who took advantage of the two-level conflict in the academy before it completely broke out, and revealed it first, so that the turmoil would be lessened.
There are many, and they are easy to control. Don’t underestimate your academy. I think you don’t understand. A group of disciples taught by a good gentleman are all jackals and tigers. In ten years, I will definitely ask to retire and return to my hometown. The queen will go to court.
It’s dangerous.”
Dai Zhou stroked his beard as if talking to himself, or admonishing Yun Ye.
"So, there will be no punishment, and no one will suffer. It is pitiful for the gentlemen of my academy to be taken advantage of by their own disciples without knowing it. Is it sad or deplorable?"
"You are wrong. The academy is indeed great. Those little people can add fuel to the flames, act according to the prevailing situation, and give authority to all the officials in the court. This is the result of your education. Why, seeing that your efforts are about to come to an end?
