The Confucian scholars led by Gao Guanbo walked quickly by the lakeside, passed a few willow trees, and then walked a hundred steps until they came to a stone tablet.
There are four hieroglyphics carved on the stone tablet. The ancient fonts seem to bear traces of time, giving the stone tablet an indescribable heaviness and vastness, making the steps of the Confucian scholars slow down unconsciously.
He simply stopped, adjusted his clothes, and then walked into the towering attic by the lake at a leisurely pace.
Bookshelves are arranged in the building in an orderly manner, filling the internal space, leaving only trails. Even the walls are made up of bookshelves. Countless books and slips are placed on the bookshelves, extending from the ground to the ground.
The roof is more than ten feet high.
An old man in casual clothes was suspended in the air, taking out a bamboo slip from the bookshelf.
"Sacrifice wine."
The Confucian scholars bowed respectfully to the old man.
This old man suspended in mid-air has as many identities as the son-in-law of a certain Dragon King. In the imperial court, he is the Feng Chang among the nine ministers; in Taixue, he is the person in charge of offering wine; within Confucianism, some people call him the honorary
For the husband.
However, he himself felt that Feng Chang was too official, and that the Master was trying to exalt him. After all, the last person who was collectively called "Master" was the founder of Confucianism, so he always considered himself Taixue Jijiu.
, does not recognize Fengchang, nor does he recognize the title of Master.
After the Confucian scholar finished the salute, he continued: "Jiang Li, who was invited by Shenxiu, was attacked at the foot of the mountain. The student sensed that the trump card given to Mingyang was being used, so he went to investigate and found that the assassin also possessed a fourth-level move.
It’s just that he died under the influence of a gentleman before he could be used in the future. Judging from his aura, he was suspected to be from the Taiping Sect..."
"It's Ji's Kui Niu transformation."
Taixue Jijiu suddenly spoke and said: "The deceased should also be a member of the Ji family, who was sent by the Ji family to beat Jiang Li."
As he spoke, the old man slowly descended from the air and landed not far in front of the Confucian scholar. His pupils, which were different from ordinary people, contained spiritual light.
The face of this sacrificial wine minister is majestic, and even his old appearance does not diminish his aura of majesty. He has a long beard that reaches his abdomen. There are two pupils in each pair of eyes, which is the appearance of double pupils. And under the eyes, there are two
The eyes that are only closed are very different from ordinary people.
When the Confucian scholar heard about offering wine as a sacrifice, his expression changed and he exclaimed in surprise: "What should I do?"
He didn't doubt the meaning of the wine sacrifice at all, just because he knew that the body of the wine sacrifice had the vision of Taoism, and his two pupils and four eyes were enough to see everything clearly. Even if the heaven and earth around the city of God were in chaos now, he could still use the power of gazing to achieve Yi.
The effect of Taoist magic.
It is precisely because of belief that Confucian scholars know that something is wrong.
Taixue actually got involved in the muddy water in such an unexpected way and even killed members of the royal family.
Jiang Li has indeed gone too far in recent times. First he killed Prince Lu, and was related to the death of Prince Lu. Now he is related to the death of the fourth prince.
Although Prince Lu's son died unjustly, and Prince Lu's guilt has been concluded, there must be many people in the Ji family who have criticized this.
They may have confirmed that Prince Lu and his son deserved to die, but few people believed that Prince Lu and his son deserved to die at the hands of the Jiang family.
In this case, Jiang Li was related to the death of the fourth prince again. Just by the Ji family, the Confucian scholars felt that the royal family was really open-minded and tolerant. If it were another aristocratic family, I'm afraid it would be They will all come directly to take revenge.
However, in this case, the person who came to beat died...
This is simply a slap in Ji's face.
Unfortunately, the person who slapped him in the face seemed not to be Jiang Li, but to be the scholar.
"Yeah, what should we do?"
Taixue Jijiu said this, but there was no sign of urgency on his face. Instead, he said slowly, "You might as well ask Mr. Jiang."
······
······
From the mountainside to the top of the mountain, the mountains are empty and full of scenic views. There are many pavilions, pavilions, and majestic palaces in the mountains, which are scattered in an orderly manner. From time to time, the white air turns into mist, and the mist is misty, adding a bit of fairyland color to this building complex.
This does not look like a Confucian academy, but more like a Taoist holy land.
Jiang Li was now placed in a small building next to the palace.
In the elegant room, Jiang Li was sitting in a wheelchair, closing his eyes and regulating his breath, as if recovering from his injuries, while the maid stood silently behind the wheelchair, like an invisible ghost, with no sense of existence.
After he was brought into Taixue by Mingyang, Mingyang hurriedly ran to report the situation. In addition, he had to invite doctors to treat Jiang Li.
Although Jiang Li took advantage of Mingyang and borrowed a knife to kill someone, he was attacked on the way to Taixue, and he was severely injured at the foot of Qiongshan Mountain. Taixue must take responsibility for both emotions and reasons.
Anyway, Mingyang is very responsible now.
[Seeing Mingyang being so responsible, Jiang Li felt a little guilty... For a moment, he felt guilty. 】
The text on the set of cause and effect was refreshed, and a certain guilty person was in a dying state, with luck healing his injuries.
Time passed little by little while waiting. About half a quarter of an hour later, an old voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"But Young Master Jiang is here?"
[Without the slightest movement or any warning, the figure appeared outside the door very suddenly, asking inside the house. 】
Jiang Li opened his eyes, looked at the text in front of him, pondered for a moment, and replied in a weak voice: "Exactly, I dare you to ask if the old gentleman is a doctor? Where is Brother Ming?"
"I am not a doctor. On the contrary, I am here to seek medical treatment from Young Master Jiang."
The old man chuckled and said: "Young Master Jiang has done us a lot of harm. You were killed at the foot of Qiongshan Mountain. I, the great scholar, came to your rescue and accidentally killed the attacker. As a result, the attacker was discovered afterwards. This is the royal family, and now even the Lord Jijiu is in trouble."
"So the old gentleman is here to seek a solution from the younger generation?" Jiang Li's voice was still weak.
"Of course," the old man said with a smile, "this world is not the land of the king. Although the Imperial College has a superior status, it must also abide by the law of the king. If you accidentally kill someone, you will naturally have to pay the price. If Young Master Jiang can't solve it, then Taixue can only feel sorry for Young Master Jiang, and it is feasible to take Young Master Jiang to apologize to Zong Zheng."
There was an eagerness to try in the old man's voice, as if he was about to throw a cup at any moment as a signal, so he summoned five hundred swordsmen and axes to capture Jiang Li, and sent him to Zongzheng Mansion to give him an explanation.
Jiang Li didn't show any panic at all and said, "But the murderer is not a junior."
"That's not important. What's important is that Zong Zhengfu thinks it's you." The old man chuckled.
"Even if I have to disappoint the old gentleman."
"oh?"
"Because this junior and senior sister Gongsun Qingyue are in love, and will come to propose marriage in person soon, Zongzheng Mansion will not confuse right and wrong and accuse this junior of falsehood."
Jiang Li didn't feel ashamed at all and directly stated his intention to eat soft rice.
As he finished speaking, Tianxuan's laughter rang in his ears, but Jiang Li was not moved at all.
Outside the door, the old man was also speechless for a moment.
There is no way, Jiang Li's words are too reasonable.
It would be fine if Jiang Li killed the person. The other party had a reason to attack. But the problem is that Jiang Li did not kill the person. He was just an injured person. He almost came to Taixue alone. How could he have the ability to kill someone?
ah.
He didn't kill anyone, and he had a background, so nothing could be framed on him.
The old man just said that, but he didn't expect Jiang Li to actually give a reply and hit back the statement.
Still such a unique reply.
The old man asked himself that he had seen a lot in his life, but for someone like Jiang Li who could eat soft food with confidence, this was the first... and second time in his life.
The first time I gave it to the eldest son-in-law of the dynasty.
Thinking about it this way, the old man felt even weirder.
How come there are two such rare and wonderful things? Forget it once, come here a second time.
"But this time, after all, it started with the younger generation, and the younger generation really has to give me a solution."
Jiang Li changed the topic and said again.
"How to solve it?" the old man said. "We agreed in advance that Mingyang acted out of morality, but we cannot let him take the blame."
"Brother Mingyang saved this junior's life, how could this junior repay kindness with enmity?"
Jiang Li said slowly: "This matter is simple. There is no need to hand over Brother Ming. All we have to do is to offer wine and go to the palace to apologize to His Majesty."
"By the way, I really want to apologize, not just an attitude."
That is to say, literally, with one's arms bare and a thorn stick on one's back, one pleads guilty to the emperor.
Jiang Li dared to say that if he could do this, the emperor would definitely let this matter go.
The old man outside the door was silent for a while, and then said: "It doesn't need to go to this extent, right?"
"It's very necessary," Jiang Li said quietly, "After all, this crime is not about killing people."
The problem is not that he killed people, but that Taixue had contact with Jiang Li, trying to find out the effects of ginseng fruit, and trying to know whether ginseng fruit was useful to the emperor.
Compared to this, the death of the Ji family is completely insignificant.
Only when the Imperial High School offered wine and personally went to bear thorns to plead guilty and show obedience could the emperor truly feel at ease.
You must show sincerity, otherwise, it will be an apology, and the emperor's doubts may not be reduced. After standing on the thorn to apologize, there will be no room for change in the Taixue offering wine, otherwise it will not only damage the Confucian cultivation, but also
Let your reputation be ruined.
Therefore, it is necessary to bear the burden of sin and apologize.
But that was the Taixue offering wine. The nine ministers of the dynasty, the head of the Confucian sect, had to bear a thorn to plead guilty. How is this possible?
