Chapter 785 785 Save your life, the literati’s scolding war
The commander of the Forbidden Army led his troops over. Seeing such "harmony" outside the Yanbei military camp, he was a little unacceptable for a while.
The news he had received earlier was that this group of students was very angry and yelled and cursed endlessly. Some even wrote essays, poems, and words to curse the King of Yanbei and the Yanbei Army. How come when he came to see it, he found that something was wrong?
However, the commander of the Forbidden Army soon knew that the news he received was correct...
These students are still writing poems and scolding the King of Yanbei and the Yanbei Army. Their words are sharp and their tone is angry, but the commander of the Forbidden Army always feels that something is wrong?
No, after a talented man surnamed Lu wrote an impassioned essay and read it in an angry and acerbic tone, the scholars below immediately burst into applause and shouted: "Okay, okay, Brother Lu, this article is
, the writing is really great. It vividly displays the arrogance of King Yanbei, and you can know how hateful and despicable King Yanbei is just by reading the text."
"The King of Yanbei is hateful. He uses his power to bully others. He kills innocent people indiscriminately. He kills people and can't hide. He doesn't dare to face the wall. He is simply a despicable villain. Brother Lu uses this metaphor well. Isn't King Yanbei disgusting?
of bugs.”
"The words are simple and there is no ostentation. Brother Lu's article will definitely be passed down to the world. If you write it again, you will feel inferior."
"Brother Lu is such a talented person, I admire him very much."
"Admire, admire..."
…
Listening to a group of scholars with excited faces and flushed faces praising the student who wrote an essay criticizing King Yan Bei, the commander of the imperial army was really dumbfounded.
Is this a quarrel among literati?
Is this the protest of the literati?
Is this the anger of literati?
…
Your Majesty, have we done something wrong?
Is our money wasted in vain? Are these students scolding King Yanbei, or are they holding a cultural conference to become famous?
Nothing about this feels right?
Seeing this scene, the commander of the Forbidden Army did not lead his troops into action immediately. Instead, he asked the 50,000 soldiers to rest on the spot and continued to watch. He thought it would be a very exciting and violent "battle", but in the end he only saw this group of soldiers.
The students who were sitting in meditation came forward one by one, walked to the table in the center of the field, splashed ink, yelled and cursed, wrote down the article, and then asked people to circulate it.
I don't know if it was because I saw them coming, or what, but the voices of this group of literati were very loud, and it would be an exaggeration to say that they were full of energy. It was not like they had been sitting outside for more than ten days in the cold spring.
When the commander of the imperial army saw a group of vendors pushing food and walking back and forth among the students, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
This group of students could not see that, just by looking at the way these people walked, he knew that these people were not ordinary soldiers at all, but soldiers.
At this time, besides the Yanbei Army, who else is a soldier who dares to take out food in the Yanbei Army Camp?
"The Holy Father spent five or six thousand taels of silver a day to support these students, and most of them fell into the hands of the Yanbei Army?" The commander of the Forbidden Army froze there, hesitating whether to report the truth to the emperor about what happened here.
?
He was angry just looking at what was going on here. If the emperor knew about it, how angry would he be?
"Sir, why don't you take action?" Seeing that the commander of the imperial army remained frozen, the deputy was worried that something had happened, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
The commander of the imperial army suddenly came to his senses, gave up the idea of reporting the news to the emperor, and said calmly: "Wait a little longer."
He would like to see how long these students "scold" each day. If they scold for a long time, if they can leave a few more songs that can be passed down to the world and can be sung, the emperor's money will be considered worthwhile, but...
To the dismay of the commander of the Forbidden Army, this group of students was not very good at "scolding" people. It was over in just half an hour. One article after another was published, and the group of people liked it over and over again, but one
There are no poems that people can remember, and there are no articles that make people feel bright and refreshing.
If you want people to sing it, you can't rely on this group of students, you have to rely on ordinary people. And even he, a man who understands literary and ink, can't remember a sentence of the article after listening to it once. How can ordinary people spread it?
There is no surprise. Although the emperor used his students to plot against King Yanbei this time, it had a certain effect, but it was far from the effect the emperor wanted. The emperor later spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, all of which were lost...
"Let someone clear the road!" The commander of the imperial army really didn't like this group of students who could only talk nonsense and make a name for themselves. He didn't bother to give these people face, so he directly asked his deputy to clear the road without giving them any face.
Group of students.
The deputy was a confidant of the commander of the imperial army, and he knew what to do as soon as he heard this. Therefore, the deputy was not polite to this group of students. He ordered 500 people and quickly cleared a path for the army to walk.
Although this group of students were dissatisfied, they also knew that they were members of the imperial court. They had been sitting quietly outside for so long and scolding outside for so many days just to attract the attention of the world, preferably to attract the emperor to see them.
their character and see their talents.
They have learned literature and martial arts, and have good fortune and an imperial family. They are seeking justice for Mr. Mo Wen, but it does not prevent them from seeking justice for themselves while also seeking a future for themselves, right?
In this world, who would be willing to do anything without any benefit at all?
Occasionally, one or two righteous people will do it, but will tens of thousands of people do it together?
No!
In the distance, Feng Qi and Xiao Shaorong stood outside the crowd, watching this scene indifferently...
At this time every day, this group of students would write articles to scold King Yanbei, and they would come here at this time every day.
Seeing this group of students take turns to come on stage and write articles to scold King Yanbei, Feng Qi and Xiao Shaorong could only sneer and ridicule.
These people are not here to seek justice for Mr. Mo Wen, but they are here to attack the King of Yanbei. These people are taking advantage of Mr. Mo Wen's death to step on the throne of the King of Yanbei.
Unfortunately, this group of people is destined not to succeed.
Seeing the commander of the imperial army coming with a large group of troops, Feng Qi knew that the emperor couldn't wait to take action.
I just hope that the emperor will not knock his teeth when he is so embarrassed!
"Let's go, there is no excitement to watch." Xiao Shaorong was afraid that the commander of the imperial army would find them, so he patted Feng Qi on the shoulder, indicating that it was time for him to go back.
Even if the emperor already knows that the two of them have come out of the other courtyard, they cannot show themselves in front of others.
It's one thing to know, but it's another thing to be caught doing it.
Feng Qi looked away indifferently and turned around: "I wonder if everything goes well for Yunkai and the others?" If it goes well, they can counterattack early. If it doesn't go well, they will have to let the emperor be arrogant for a while. It is really... disgusting.
"It probably won't go too smoothly. If it had gone smoothly, the prince would have sent the news long ago." Xiao Shaorong, who was very familiar with the prince's rules and regulations, shrugged nonchalantly.
"Then we can only save the lives of eight of them first." Feng Qi nodded and said thoughtfully...
I am very sorry. Due to personal and family reasons, updates have been extremely irregular during this period, and have been interrupted for three days. Now we have resumed normal updates, with a minimum of two updates per day. (To be continued)
