Several old Confucians knelt on the ground, the leader of whom was completely white, and said: "Using a white paper to write the book of sages to do such a filthy thing, such a ridiculous move, the court debated it for more than a month and still did not ban it, even if it is a literary and Taoist act,
The Kingdom of Zhao has never been as prosperous as this! This is a move that harms the country. I hope your Majesty will tell you clearly! I hope your Majesty will ban the soft paper of the Guo Shang Yuan and severely punish the Anding county uncle!"
Now because of Xu Qing's commotion, the court has calmed down, but I really didn't expect that several old Confucians who had already served as officials would unite and go to the palace today to meet the saint.
The Emperor of Chu quickly asked his chamberlain to help several old scholars up and seat them one by one. These old scholars were older than the late Emperor. Ahem, the late Emperor was his brother and older than the late Emperor. The Emperor of Chu did not dare to let them kneel like this.
.
If someone is in bad health and dies in his Tai Chi palace because he knelt for a while longer, he will be scolded to death by future generations!
Emperor Chu has become more and more inseparable from the useful thing of soft paper during this period. He really wants to give it up, but he really doesn't want to do it, but he is afraid that if he doesn't give it up, these great scholars will kneel down again.
It’s really a headache!
However, he, as an emperor, could not tell them the benefits of soft paper.
You can't just say: Soft paper is so easy to use, I like to use it.
Then it is estimated that as soon as he finished speaking, someone could be hit and killed on the pillar next to him...
Emperor Chu sighed and said: "It's not that I don't want to punish Xu Qing, but that there is no law to punish him! Moreover, I have now suspended him from his job and faced the wall at home."
The leader of the old Confucian said: "Your Majesty, even though the Anding County Commissioner is suspended from his duties at home, soft paper is still being sold, and more and more are being bought day by day. This shows that Xu Qing is still secretly manipulating the Guo Shang Yuan, and he still has no repentance.
, you are still doing such an act of blasphemy against the saints! What is this kid’s intention?!”
Another old Confucian also sighed: "It's sad that no one in our great Chu dares to come to reprimand this son, let alone the ignorant people in the capital who are competing to buy paper! It's really a disaster for our great Chu!"
At this moment, the servant outside suddenly spread the word that the prince was here.
At this moment, Emperor Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief and was saved!
He would rather face hundreds of memorials than face these old Confucians who stick to the rules.
You can't reason with them, so let's fight, you can't fight yet.
Not only can you not hit them, but you can also persuade them with good words to calm them down and pray that they will not die in your presence.
It’s really hard for me!
The old scholars also stood up from their seats when they saw the virtuous queen.
King Xian said: "Are you guys meeting the emperor about the soft paper? I also know the resentment towards Xu Qing among the scholars in the capital. I and the emperor are also very angry, but they can't because there is no law to convict him.
If we don’t drag it out like this, I hope this person can repent.”
"Moreover, after all, Xu Qing has made a lot of contributions to Da Chu. If he is punished at will, it will definitely chill the hearts of the people in the world."
"How about this, let the emperor summon Xu Qing to the palace. You are all famous Confucian scholars in our country. We should take this opportunity to reprimand him and wake him up! Let him know that sages cannot be blasphemed!"
"If he can repent and take the right path from now on, it will be regarded as saving a pillar for our great Chu. If he can persuade Xu Qing to return from his lost way, it will be considered a good story. I wonder what you think, great Confucians?"
After hearing this, the leading old scholar immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise, and I just want to rebuke this person! Then please choose a time to summon Xu Qingzhuan into the palace. Young people are not frivolous and ignorant. Sages and sages
Let’s not allow this kid to blaspheme at will!”
After the old scholars were finally sent away, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the wise king and said: "Is this the solution the emperor said?"
The wise king nodded and said, "Of course."
Emperor Chu waved his hand and said: "Brother, you were the worst in scriptures among my father's brothers. Let's stop being so formal."
The wise king glanced at Emperor Chu and said with a smile: "That's true. However, among the many favored brothers of my father, we are the only two who are still alive. Do you know why?"
Emperor Chu's heart suddenly tightened, and he coughed dryly and said: "Ahem, Brother Huang, do whatever you want, Brother Emperor, do whatever you want."
Which person who can win in the battle for the right to inherit the throne is not a ruthless person? You reason with him and he will argue with you about fists!
However, Emperor Chu was still worried and said, "Brother Emperor, the solution Xu Qing mentioned is to have a verbal war with these great scholars? Can he outsmart these great scholars?"
King Xian said: "When has Xu Qing done something that he was not sure about? You have to believe Xu Qing."
Emperor Chu was still worried: "Xu Qing is not even a boy, can he do it?"
When it comes to reasoning, neither the Emperor of Chu nor the wise king can speak to any one of those old Confucians.
Did he think he was Zhuge Liang? A young man with a background as a police officer who wanted to quarrel with other scholars?
King Xian glanced at Emperor Chu: "Don't you believe he has other ways?"
Emperor Chu coughed and said, "Brother, let him work hard."
Now this situation is no longer under their control, unless the imperial court orders a ban on soft paper, but Emperor Chu really doesn't want to ban it now, so why did he ban it?
Now we can only hope that Xu Qing is more slippery than them.
However, after all, this guy is a person who can legislate, and he can't be too bad at talking.
The second day
In the side hall
When Xu Qing walked into the side hall, except for one empty seat, the rest of the seats were already full.
The Emperor of Chu and the Xian Wang were also present.
Xu Qing walked into the palace and cupped his hands and said, "I have met your Majesty, the prince, and all the seniors."
The wise king said: "Boss of Anding County, these two are Zhao Daru and Li Daru. You have done such dirty things with holy paper and you have offended the public. Zhao Daru and Li Daru are here to admonish you today. I hope you will
You can find your way back when you have gone astray!"
Zhao Daru, who had all white beard and hair, stared at Xu Qing and said, "Are you Xu Qing!?"
Xu Qing walked to his seat, but did not sit down. He just stood and cupped his hands and said, "Exactly."
Zhao Daru said in a deep voice: "Do you know it's a sin to blaspheme the saints?!"
Xu Qing looked at Zhao Daru: "Young man has little talent and little knowledge. Do you dare to ask if he is guilty of this crime?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Daru suddenly became speechless. Apart from being criticized by scholars all over the world, there seemed to be no other crime for blaspheming the saints.
Li Daru said at this time: "You, the younger generation, don't want to admit your mistake but talk back! Today in front of His Majesty and the Prince, I will give you a good scolding!"
"White paper has been a holy thing since ancient times, but you use holy paper to clean up filth. Isn't this a sin?!"
Xu Qing continued: "Blank paper has been a holy thing since ancient times. May I ask, senior, which classic does this sentence come from?"
Li Daru was also speechless immediately.
Emperor Chu and King Xian looked at Xu Qing in surprise, there is something about this kid!
