Chapter 808 The king's life is heavy, and the minister's festival is here? A scholar who is angry an
General Lu?
When Xiao Tang heard the chief registrar in the Imperial Academy address the scholar by his first name, his mind moved and he immediately thought of the Manichaean leader who had one of his subordinates who was originally an imperial student after the La Uprising in the south of the Yangtze River.
Scholars who endanger themselves and are abandoned as officials, instead joining the rebel army.
It has to be said that General Lu is also an anomaly among the students of the Imperial Academy. Ordinary literati and scholars follow moral articles, poetry and etiquette, and abide by the emperor's orders and the integrity of ministers. However, General Lu was unwilling to be expelled from his academic status, and even refused to do so.
It is not taboo to follow rebellion, which is a treacherous and unethical act in the minds of modern scholars. Although he was very strategic in assessing the situation after joining Fang La, he did not seem to be trusted by the people in the Green Forest Road, and his several suggestions to Fang La were not accepted.
, although after Fang La was captured, he continued to rebel in a corner of southern Zhejiang, but later he committed suicide under the heavy siege of the imperial court.
It is said that in the Song Dynasty, the Imperial College students in the Imperial College were also called "Unofficial Yushitai". In addition to the extremely stubborn Wang Anshi who dismissed a group of Imperial College academic officials because everyone in the Imperial College wrote articles criticizing the reform, in previous years there were also
There were imperial students who criticized Cai Jing and other powerful officials and were sent into exile. Most of the time, the imperial court was more tolerant towards the Imperial College students who spoke out and remonstrated. However, General Lu was deprived of his academic status and was not allowed to serve as an official in his lifetime.
It can be seen that he often makes shocking remarks, and even his master and classmates in the Imperial College regard him as an alien.
At this time, although General Lu was scolded by Bo, the teacher in charge of the Imperial College, his expression suddenly changed due to anger. Originally, General Lu was different from the other sons of Bianjing dignitaries in the Imperial College. He was originally from Fuyang County, Liangzhe Road.
He was born in a poor family, and because of his hard work, he was able to gain the status of a scholar in the township and county, so he was able to go to the capital to observe the teachings. Therefore, General Lu was not only used to the suffering of the people, but also developed his cynical and violent temperament.
, According to the instructions of Dong Zhongshu of the Han Dynasty in the Imperial Academy, the king must be loyal to the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules. If the king wants his ministers to die, if the ministers do not die, it is unfaithful. However, for General Lu, it is "If you want me to die, I will die.
I want you to die a good death."
Although General Lu would not publicize the so-called treasonous thoughts in his heart, he often had different opinions on the teachings of his former master Zhongjun, and he dared to criticize the extravagance and ignorance of today's officials in public, as he did today.
Listening to his words, I thought that if he changed the dynasty, it would probably be a serious crime to lose his head. So seeing that he is now being reprimanded by the imperial edict, and considering that he was later stripped of his honors by the imperial court, it is not surprising.
Just like General Lu was being angrily rebuked by the instructors and classmates in the Imperial College, he seemed to be aroused and sneered, saying: "The imperial court uses evil sycophants to do all kinds of things that are unreasonable and abuse the people. The officials want to control Jiangnan and Zhejiang."
, Su and other local government offices carried huge ships, paid tribute to the servants, and sent troops to the Xia State, which wasted people and money, and the people complained. Wang Jinggong said that those who speak the truth do not care about favors and benefits, and are not afraid of punishment. They must serve the world.
Chang Yan, the people's diseases and the country's governance are caused by the enemy. We gathered here to advise the officials to abolish the Huashi Gang. Xiaosheng thought that you should also know the sufferings of the people, but unexpectedly, we just got together with them.
A group of scholars who only know how to read the classics and avoid the important ones are just talking to themselves!"
General Lu's hateful words immediately stirred up a thousand waves. This group of imperial students who originally regarded the world as their own duty were very excited and wanted General Lu to explain clearly.
At this time, Xiao Tang also probably heard that the imperial eunuch students gathered here were originally going to write a letter to persuade Zhao Ji to remove Hua Shigang, but they just used the excuse to talk about the Song Dynasty's intention to use troops against Xia State, and Lu
It is a bit disrespectful to today's society to say something about wasting money and wasting people. In the Song Dynasty, when freedom of speech was relatively tolerant among scholars, this kind of thing was not a big deal. Just like Su Zhe, who had just been admitted to the Jinshi, and
Fu Bi, who was appointed as the eunuch and was a minor official from the eighth rank, even dared to write a letter accusing the emperor of "having no integrity and not listening to consultations" or even "not making progress, causing people to feel anxious", but General Lu seemed to be unwilling to do so.
He was born with a fierce and extreme temperament, and when he was scolded by Bo, the master of the Imperial Academy, he couldn't help but became furious, and even led all the students in the Imperial Academy to ridicule him.
Shi Xiu, who was next to Xiao Tang, was quite impatient to listen to the eloquent talk of these knowledgeable scholars. According to him, these rotten scholars who only know how to read and have no knowledge of the world mostly have their eyes high above their heads. They cannot lift their shoulders or lift their hands.
Mention, who is born and clumsy in worldliness, and his power and scheming skills are far inferior to those of the courtiers and officials in the imperial court who are full of scheming. What is the use of listening to such a group of sour Confucian scholars discussing current affairs? But when Shi Xiu saw General Lu getting ready, he
, as if he wanted to quarrel with the scholars, he hugged his arms and laughed, and whispered to Xiao Tang: "Brother, this scholar is quite interesting."
"I'm afraid this person won't be able to stay in Bianliang, Tokyo for a long time..."
Xiao Tang read it leisurely, thinking to himself that he was not aware that General Lu would eventually be deposed by the imperial court for writing a letter criticizing Zhao Ji for asking Jiangnan provinces to spend money and waste money.
Among the official group, although many of the literati dared to speak out and remonstrate, even to the point of death, without leaving any face to the emperor, most of them also had the brand of loyalty to the emperor and the country imprinted on their hearts, at least those who dared to remonstrate
Scholars who commit crimes will not disobey the emperor and his ministers. The three cardinal principles and five permanent principles of father, father, son and son are the ethics and morals that have taught Confucian scholars all over the world. Even if they are deposed or even executed by the emperor, they must die and be loyal to the orthodox dynasty. However, it is obvious that General Lu did not
Not that kind of person.
Among the well-educated people who are now united with Xiao Tang and are willing to assist him in the green forest, Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huanzhang, Xu Guanzhong and others are of course not foolish and loyal people, but it is also because Xiao Tang has no intention of breaking the soil and claiming power.
Wang, who wanted to rebel against the Zhao family in the Song Dynasty, also allowed them to wholeheartedly assist their sworn brother. If Xiao Tang had not pointed his sword at the corner of Liaodong to avoid directly launching a large-scale armed war with the Song Dynasty, then ordinary scholars would have no idea about the Jiangshan Dynasty.
The changing orthodoxy will still make Xiao Jiasui and others more or less wary. Looking at General Lu who did not hesitate to defect to Fang La after being deprived of his honors, and repeatedly asked for orders to fight against the Zhao family to the end, those so-called
He doesn't seem to care about the concept of honor and integrity such as loyalty to the emperor and father.
Compared to the imperial student who had been educated in orthodox Confucianism in an empire that had inherited Guozuo for nearly 150 years, General Lu was more like a high school student in troubled times who was excellent but could not serve as an official. He would only consider defecting to a power that could make him powerful
A staff strategist who uses fists and kicks.
At this time, Yan Qing also noticed that Xiao Tang was staring thoughtfully at General Lu who was arguing with the eunuch of the Imperial Academy. He approached Xiao Tang and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are you trying to win over this eunuch?"
What do students think of joining the gang?"
"If a person is righteous, his ruler will be benevolent and his ministers will be loyal. From my point of view, this imperial student surnamed Lu is someone who refuses to be foolishly loyal to the court."
After Xiao Tang pondered, he thought that according to historical records, General Lu had suggested to Fang La to occupy the southeastern gateway and rely on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River to resist the imperial army. After that, after the army of officers and soldiers pressed the border, he advised the strong men to cut off their wrists and evacuate Hangzhou to preserve their strength. Later, they returned
He led the remnants of Manichaeism to continue to fight against the imperial court for a period of time, which also shows that this scholar-student, who was extremely disappointed with the Song Dynasty's government, was indeed a useful counselor from a strategic level, so when Xiao Tang made a decision
Having made up his mind, he ordered Shi Xiu again: "Sanlang, send some men to keep an eye on General Lu. If there is any trouble with him in Bianjing, report it to me immediately."
