Chapter 1492: The End of Yanshenggong Kong Tie and Wei Qin
After finishing speaking, Kong Tie walked up to Wei Qin and said, "Back then, you also studied under me. Is this how you used what you learned?"
Although Kong Tie was not much older than Wei Qin, there was blood pressure between the two.
Wei Qin, who had been able to hold on just now, now bowed to the end and did not dare to speak in front of Kong Tie.
The attitudes of the surrounding officials, especially those who were originally neutral, had obviously changed. All this was due to the arrival of Kong Tie, and Kong Tie was obviously biased towards Shen Tang.
The biggest reason why these people are in awe of Kong Tie, apart from the so-called title of Duke Yansheng, is the word "Kong".
They studied Confucianism, and almost all of them were disciples of the Confucian family. In this era, who could afford to bully their teachers and destroy their ancestors?
What's more, now that Confucianism is so popular, it has given you the name of a heretic, and there is no way to explain it! If the old Confucian said that you have failed in learning, then you have failed in learning.
Are you dissatisfied?
That's what my ancestors said back then, it's wrong for you to study this way! There's no way, as a descendant of Confucius, I have the final right to interpret Confucianism, so you can't accept it.
Moreover, no matter how weak the Kong family is, they still represent the world's literati.
Going against the Confucian family is almost equivalent to cutting oneself off from the world's literati lineage. For which scholar is this not a terrible thing?
The previous attitude of these people may have been due to some selfishness or other interests, but Kong Tie, the Duke of Yansheng, was enough to change all of this.
The same goes for Wei Qin, no matter how tough he is, with just one word from Kong Tie, there will be no place for him between the court and the scribes. If Kong Tie writes about Wei Qin in some classics, With a pen, it would be easy for him to become famous throughout the ages.
Besides, as Kong Tie said, when Wei Qin was studying in the Kong family, he had the title of master and disciple. This alone made him unable to fight back in front of Kong Tie.
"Disciple is wrong!"
Wei Qin said dejectedly!
Kong Tie ignored him and said to the civil and military officials, "You can all be regarded as Confucian disciples. I, a Confucian disciple, should be loyal to the country and serve the royal family! Today, there is no distinction between right and wrong, and there is no distinction between loyalty and treason. , why?
As important ministers of the imperial court, you must set an example in every action you take, and you must not lose your character as a Confucian scholar!"
"Disciple knows his mistake!"
Most of the courtiers bowed and saluted Kong Tie!
But Kong Tie turned around and looked at Shen Tang, "Are you Marquis Zhongwu?"
Shen Tang stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings to Duke Yansheng!"
"I have read your scientific examination articles back then, but you are a top scholar! What's even more rare is that you are both civil and military, and can protect the country and the people. During this time, many people have sent letters telling you about your experience, knowledge, and actions, but you are the best at that time. You deserve a great talent."
"Previously, Yuan Hui and Jing Hui said that you and Lushan Academy have a friendship of donating books. Today, I should follow suit!"
As he spoke, he waved to a middle-aged man behind him! The middle-aged man took a few books and handed them to Shen Tang!
"This is my comment on some classics. Although it is a family opinion, it still has some merits.
Today, I will give it to you, hoping that you can apply what you have learned!"
Shen Tang was startled and hurriedly came forward to worship, "Disciple, thank you so much, Lord Yansheng!"
In this era, gifting books is not only a very high etiquette, but also represents recognition.
Even based on this, in the future no one would dare to deny Shen Tang’s reputation as a disciple of Kong Tie.
It is no exaggeration to say that with these few books alone, no one in the cultural circle will dare to easily cause trouble for Shen Tang.
No matter what, this time, Shen Tang accepted Kong Tie's great kindness.
"Books are dead things. If they are of some use to you, it would be a blessing for me! I think back then, the ancestor of the Kong family was familiar with the six arts and was also good at both civil and military arts. It's a pity..." Having said this, Kong Nie shook his head. Now , the Confucian family is still the Confucian family, but Confucianism is no longer what it was back then...
Confucianism is far more than a few weak scholars shaking their heads with books! I think back then, Confucian students were proficient in the six arts. Not to mention fighting, they were extremely brave even on the battlefield! To put it bluntly, the swords worn by literati before the Song Dynasty were not just for decoration. , but, in the Song Dynasty, even military generals were suppressed. Who would want to learn some martial arts in a thankless way?
After listening to Kong Tie's words, Shen Tang did not respond. This is reality, and, at least with his current strength, it is difficult to change it!
"Okay, there are important government affairs today, so I won't delay! I have a house near Yongjinmen, and I will also stay in Lin'an for a few days. When you have some free time, you can come and chat with me!"
Kong Tie bowed to the two emperors again, then turned around and left, which was quite free and easy.
As for Wei Qin, he didn't even look at him! Although Kong Tie was neither in Lin'an nor in the court, he had lived his whole life. How could he not know the reason for Wei Qin's incident?
There are some things that he just doesn't want to participate in.
Nowadays, because of the incident between the Northern and Southern Sects, the Kong family has been vaguely criticized. Now that he is old, he doesn't know what the future of the Song Dynasty will be like.
The only thing he can do is to let his lineage take root in the Song Dynasty. When the Song Dynasty flourishes, Confucianism will flourish. If the Song Dynasty is destroyed one day, his broken body will just be a sacrifice for the country and Confucianism.
At least, this can still leave some character.
As for the rest...he is not a saint after all!
And with the appearance of Kong Tie, this sudden storm against Shen Tang came to an abrupt end!
Those people who originally didn't know the truth were now feeling guilty and moved. At this time, if anyone jumped out to provoke another person, they would probably be beaten up.
As for Wei Qin and other officials, with Kong Tie endorsing Shen Tang, the forces supporting Shen Tang instantly gained the upper hand.
At this time, even if Zhao Gou opened his mouth, he would be refuted by many people.
Zhao Gou frowned. Today's events were completely out of control! Was this done by his own emperor or by Shen Tang?
He hesitated for a moment, then turned around and returned to the dragon chariot! He could no longer participate in what happened next.
But Zhao Shen looked happy. Shen Tang gained the upper hand, which also meant that he had won a great victory.
Then, he looked at Wei Qin coldly and said without hesitation, "Wei Qin, you are too old to hold the position of offering wine.
Go back and submit a letter to resign on your own!"
Wei Qin smiled miserably. He thought that with the power of the people, the support of students, and the prestige of hundreds of officials, it would be easy to win over Shen Tang. However, he was defeated by Shen Tang with three moves! Especially the appearance of Kong Tie, it was completely Unexpected!
He knew that his removal was just the beginning.
If the other party benefits, neither the other party nor the emperor will give up.
When the sacrifice is completed and returned to the court, the forces in the court will continue to change!
