Chapter 621 The elder is reasonable
"My lords!! The villain who bullied us all these years has been exposed. He dare not go out now, and he dare not even defend himself! He has already confessed his crime!! This is my Confucian blessing!!"
Xiao Fen stood in the middle and spoke loudly.
There are quite a few Confucian scholars gathered around, among them there are gray-haired masters and many young juniors, the number is huge, they occupy the most middle position in the Taixue, this is the place where the temple sent people to gather in the past, Now all of them are Confucian scholars, and the rest of the schools are starting to avoid them. It is said that Wang Gao has given an order to Huang Lao. If you encounter Confucianists, don’t argue with them anymore. You can hide as far as you can, probably because you are afraid of them. When he died, he splashed his blood all over his body.
But this is a different scene in the eyes of those young people.
They think this is a sign of the resurgence of Confucianism. Didn't they dare to provoke us if they didn't see Huang Lao?Those hateful thieves who always refuted us in the past, when they saw us now, their eyes were full of fear, and they walked around themselves. This is the best proof. Do not dare to underestimate Confucianism! !
Of course, these credits are all on Xiao Fen's head. They really believe that Xiao Gong is going to lead them to bring Confucianism to the position of the most prominent school.
As for those big guys, their eyes are a little different.
They tend to stand back, and they are more concerned about the implementation of the decree. Now Xiao Fen is doing very lively, but it still has no effect on the decree. This is what they value. If the decree cannot be changed , then they will no longer accompany Xiao Fen to work hard here.
Standing at the top, Xiao Fen looked at the people surrounding him, and couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
This dream location is really good, and the view is so far away.
Having nothing, I finally climbed to where I am today.
Xiao Fen's eyes flickered with longing. Many thoughts that he didn't dare to exist in the past are now lingering in his ears, leading him to move on.
I have never been treated fairly in my life.
At least, Xiao Fen thought so.
As a distant relative of the No. [-] Marquis of the Han Dynasty, he didn't get any good treatment, and was forbidden to go out to do things in the name of the eldest father. He was still very young, so his father sent himself to the teacher's side cruelly. go home by yourself.
I have been studying for more than ten years, and I can't even become a doctor. In order to humiliate myself, Fu Qiubo even hypocritically brought himself to Taixue, and threw himself a position as a teacher, so he ignored it.
He also always comes to his own classroom to criticize, targeting himself, looking for his own shortcomings.
He even wrote a letter to his teacher to complain, saying that he was not good.
I kindly gave him a gift to improve the relationship, but he refused, old man, do you know how much that gift is worth? !
He also always secretly finds those colleagues to target him, they treat him badly, once they quarrel, Fuchubo always calls them over afterwards, really think I don't know this?
This man deserves what he deserves!He is a traitor!He flatters the king and has no talent because he has a good teacher. He is just pretending to be hypocritical, and he wants to destroy Confucianism! ! !
He also wants to show his talents, he also wants to stand on this high ground and look down on everyone, he also wants to lead the Confucian school to prosperity, and he wants to show those who look down on him, how inferior they are!
Xiao Fen woke up suddenly, and looked at the many Confucian scholars in front of him again. At this moment, his face began to flush.
"My lords, the traitors don't dare to speak out anymore, so we should get down to business. Today there is a traitor minister, Chao Cuo, who confuses the emperor, enforces unfilial laws, and persecutes virtuous people in the world. Now that the big man is in danger, we people are even more serious. We should sacrifice our lives for righteousness! We have to do three things. First, we must find a way to rescue those filial sons who were convicted of such crimes! Second, we must attack Chao Cuo who made this decree, and we must not let him continue to confuse the king! Finally, We want to educate the world!! Act like a saint!!!”
The Confucian scholars were even more excited by what they said, and they all applauded.
In the past few days, Chao Cuo laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
After seeing the release of the latest Confucian newspaper, he knew in his heart that this time he came to live a big life.
He didn't act in a hurry, he uncharacteristically removed the officials who supervised them, and told the Tingwei not to rush to act, after all, it was an internal struggle of Confucianism, and it was inconvenient for us to intervene.
Then, various rumors in Taixue continued to spread.
First, there were many rumors against Fuchubo, the distortion of his words and deeds, and then a thorough crusade against him. They wanted to strip Fuchubo off, took his remarks over the years as evidence, and started wantonly Propaganda, slander.
Chao Cuo sat in the upper seat with a smile on his face.
Hearing Zhao Yu's report, he even couldn't help laughing out loud.
In fact, the Yushi Mansion is a very serious place. Those who work here basically look like strangers, but at this moment, the atmosphere in the Yushi Mansion is really good. The serious Zhao Yu couldn't help grinning at the corners of his mouth when talking about the situation in Taixue, with a faint smile on his face, and Chao Cuo was the most obvious. Listening to his subordinate's report, he covered his forehead several times, Suppressed not to laugh out loud.
Everyone looked at Chao Cuo seriously, with their hands already on the hilt of their swords.
Chao Cuo looked at them and suddenly laughed.
These originally serious officials couldn't help laughing.
Chao Cuo shook his head, "There are still such stupid people in the world. I originally wanted to rectify Taixue, but because of Fu Qiubo, I didn't dare to do it in a hurry hahaha, this is good, Fu Qiubo was taken They cursed to leave Taixue!"
"Hahaha what's that called?"
"Xiao Fen."
"Xiao Dung, right? This person is really good, hero. At that time, I have to let him die quickly, which is a reward for him. Why is this guy so on the road? I was still thinking about it Let him target Fuchubo one step at a time. Before I make a move, he has already done it, great talent!!"
Chao Cuo seldom cracked jokes, and even such a serious person on weekdays couldn't help it now.
Chao Cuo was really happy. It would be great if there were more people like Xiao Fen in the world. He didn't need to think of ways to deal with others.
Everyone also laughed.
Zhao Yu stood up slowly, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist, "Mr. Chao, is it time to act?"
Chao Cuo shook his head disdainfully, "What's the hurry? What can be done in such a hurry? Isn't he still going to finish those three things? We have to wait for him to finish it."
But Zhao Yu hurriedly said: "Mr. Chao, they have been targeted by many people, not just us, the crown prince's side, the Fengchang's mansion, the two prime minister's mansions, and even the Taiwei's mansion, the Lieutenant's mansion, etc. I have already set my sights on them, and I am afraid that if the delay is too long, the prey will belong to others."
Chao Cuo was a little surprised, "I can understand everything else, what's the situation in Taiwei's Mansion?"
"After discussing with some ministers, Xiao Fen thought that Taiwei followed the legacy of the Spring and Autumn Period, and believed that he would pay attention to the etiquette left over from the past, so he wrote a letter to Taiwei. This made the officials in Taiwei's mansion start to pay attention to the situation of Taixue. "
Chao Cuo's face changed a little, "They even dare to provoke the Taiwei?? Why do they think the Taiwei supports them???"
"Well, Xiao Fen told the other officials that when the Taiwei was young, he lost his mother. Because the family was poor and couldn't organize a funeral, he couldn't afford a decent burial, so he buried her in a flat place, and swore to everyone that in the future To build a city, arrange 1 people to guard her tomb. He later became a prince and queen and sent people to repair Aunt's Mausoleum to be guarded. Therefore, Xiao Fen believes that the Taiwei is a true filial son, and he will definitely support him. Behavior"
The smile on Chao Cuo's face immediately collapsed.
"Can it be the same? Taiwei thinks that he has not been able to serve Xiao Fen before and directly defines him as seeking fame??"
Chao Cuo hurriedly got up, his face was a little anxious, "Don't wait, don't wait, let's act quickly. If you wait any longer, the Taiwei will call the Northern Army to slaughter the Confucianists."
Xiao Fen himself may not be aware of it, but his behavior is really poking the Taiwei's wound with his hands, and after poking, he spits on his face.
Originally, the Taiwei lost his father when he was ignorant, and was pulled up by his mother with difficulty, but he sent his mother away before he made a fortune, so he always felt that he owed his mother. During that time, he was probably the last thing he wanted to mention It's a good thing, do you dare to use this to write a book? ?As for guarding the mother's spirit, it was because of the guilt of the Taiwei. He wanted to do something for the mother. You just came here to bury her grandly. Is it to ridicule the Taiwei for doing this to seek fame? ? ?
Well, it's a talent! !
"Master! Master!! Don't worry!! Don't worry!!"
Liu Chang hugged Han Xin tightly, and Han Xin was waving a sharp sword in his hand, furious, but he couldn't break free.
Lu Lu was so frightened that he hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead.
After Han Xin saw Xiao Fen's letter, his whole body exploded, what kind of bird are you?I want to kill your five clans! ! !
Fortunately, Liu Chang stopped the furious teacher in time, and Liu Chang also felt that the letter was outrageous, not to mention that he was Zhong's father, showing that he was a distant relative of Binghou, but the middle part, even vaguely Who can bear to accuse the Taiwei of not having a generous burial, sorry for his parents, etc.?
"Teacher, it's easy to kill a few people. But what I want to do is not just kill people, I want to kill Sisi. Don't worry! I will definitely chop off his head, but it's not the time yet!"
Liu Chang tried to persuade Han Xin again and again, but Han Xin put away his anger.
"Teacher, it's not just you, I've always received letters from him, heh, I haven't done anything for a long time, just to uproot them. These people interfere with the affairs of the temple in the name of etiquette. Now they are still in their infancy. I have already seen through it. After going out, they will make up more rituals, what are the three cardinal principles and five constant rules, using the name of etiquette to suppress human nature and suppress thoughts, and will bring the whole big man, no, the whole of China into the abyss! ! This time, I will completely solve this situation!!!”
"Confucianism grows from the roots and has many branches. I want to chop off the broken branches for him! lest it grow into a crooked neck tree in the future"
Han Xin took a deep breath, his eyes still fierce.
"Then why don't you go?!"
"I've already arranged it, just wait and see!"
Fuqiubo hid in his study and did not go out anymore, and he took the initiative to resign from the position of Taixue Dajiu to teach his disciples with peace of mind. The Confucian scholars started their own plan, which is the first step of the plan, to rescue those dutiful sons who were arrested.
They began to publish large-scale speeches in the newspapers and conduct public opinion offensives, and they just promoted the filial piety of these arrested people and accused the tyranny of the officials who arrested them. They were not only in the newspapers, but also in various places. They began to preach, and they took to the streets on a large scale, and even once wanted to give lectures in Chinese studies at all levels. The Confucian scholars in Chang'an became lively. Model, they seem to have suffered inhuman torture in the prison, Xiao Fen always has tears in his eyes when he mentions them.
Chao Cuo led the people and hurriedly set off towards Taixue, but just halfway there, they encountered obstacles.
Anyone else blocking the way would have been arrested long ago, but this one is unusual.
It was Ju Meng who came, and he stood in the middle of the road with a smile, and walked to Chao Cuo with a smile, "Mr. Chao, I am following the order of the crown prince, and I will wait here for your order from the crown prince. Please wait a little longer, now It’s not time to act yet.”
"Oh? Why does the prince care so much about Confucianism?"
"I don't know about that, I just know that Lu Shizhong came to convey the order."
Chao Cuo was taken aback, then turned around and ordered, "Let's go back!"
Confucian scholars became more and more arrogant. They finally began to gather at the gate of the palace, petitioning for the release of those who were taken away because of filial piety. At the same time, they shouted on the road and used various methods to rescue these people. There was no response. Xiao Fen went to Tingwei Mansion to meet Xia Houying three times, but failed to see each other.
This gave Confucian scholars another target to attack, and that's right, it was the former Tingwei Zhang Shizhi of the Tingwei Mansion.
They thought that Chao Cuo controlled all of Tingwei's mansion, and the root cause was Zhang Shizhi! !
Just when the voice of Confucianism reached its loudest, the temple newspaper was published.
And the top content is the verdict on those dutiful sons.
The result of the verdict is disobedience, and their charges are listed below.
The dutiful son who was arrested in Hanoi was addicted to gambling, spent all his parents’ savings, and fled to avoid his creditors. His family members were harassed all day long. In the end, his parents died of illness one after another. He returned to his hometown to organize the funeral. He asked his younger siblings and many relatives for money in name, threatened them many times, and gained fame through rich burials. He wanted to be the head of the local pavilion with the reputation of filial piety, so as to avoid his gambling debts.
The filial son who was arrested in Hedong County, likes to drink like sex, bullies and dominates the market on weekdays, beats his fellow countrymen many times, insults and threatens his parents many times, keeps his elderly parents busy in the farmland, and plays in the city with his concubine He used his parents as servants. After his mother died of illness, he held a big funeral and buried them generously. He even proposed to keep a filial piety for them for three years. As for the purpose, he still doesn't know, but on his mother's body, he has found Traces of being beaten. The local magistrates were all arrested.
The filial son who was arrested in Nanjun had been a filial piety for his father for three years and had five children in three years. Some people saw him drinking alcohol many times and often bringing different beauties to the mausoleum. Three years later he served as the The local three elders, now that his mother has passed away, he is going to have a grand burial, and then he will keep mourning for two years.
The filial son who was arrested in Jibei County, after investigation, his father died of starvation.
The filial son who was arrested in Cangwu County tried to swallow up his elder brother's inheritance through a generous burial, reprimanded his elder brother's two young children for not organizing the funeral.
The filial son who was arrested in Jiaodong had an affair with his concubine after his father died.
When these criminal evidences were released, the whole Chang'an was once again sensationalized.
Those Confucian scholars who read the newspapers, their eyes changed from dull to angry, then to panic, and then to bewildered. What they insisted on seemed to be destroyed in an instant. These crimes have been carefully judged, and the crimes are extremely detailed. It even mentioned that the evidence will be brought to Chang'an, and it will be reviewed again in the Tingwei, because the death penalty must be passed through the Tingwei. These are the filial sons we wanted to save earlier? ?
The one who was most angry was Xiao Fen.
He was sitting in the study, trembling all over.
"Fake!! These are all fake!! Chao Cuo was fabricated by Chao Cuo, yes, they are all Chao Cuo. We want to punish Chao Cuo!! These are all Chao Cuo's crimes!!"
And the people around him all looked extremely terrified at this moment, but they didn't dare to agree anymore.
"You have to believe me!! These are all fabricated charges by Chao Cuo!! So many unfilial people, can they be found out in such a short period of time? This must be fabricated"
"The main reason is Chao Cuo!! We want to overthrow Chao Cuo. Don't those ministers really want Chao Cuo to fall? Chao Cuo is notorious"
Xiao Fen's voice became hoarse and sharper.
On the same day, the Confucian newspapers once again made shocking remarks. They pointed their spearhead at Chao Cuo, determined that Chao Cuo was a fake, and blamed Chao Cuo for everything that happened in these years, trying to make all the contradictions They all lead to Chao Cuo's head.
But this time, the number of people who stood up and agreed with them was obviously much less. In Taixue, those arrogant people became frightened birds, with dull eyes and blank faces.
Only the most steadfast Confucian scholars of the Ritual School still shouted everywhere, and they started to make big moves again, trying to bring all the conflicts to Chao Cuo.
Immediately, Ting Wei's soldiers knocked on Xiao Fen's door.
When Xiao Fen saw these soldiers, he immediately surrounded himself with his disciples, and said loudly: "Did Chao Cuo send you here?! No righteous man in the world can be killed!!"
The headed official shook his head, "I am Ting Wei Zuo Chengxuan Moru, yesterday you sued Ting Wei, suing Chao Cuo for forging evidence, murdering others, forming a party for personal gain, embezzling money, and robbing women and other crimes, because there are 320 people who filed lawsuits. People, Ting Wei immediately dispatched, and took the defendant Chao Cuo to Ting Wei, the party Chao Cuo refused to accept, filed a lawsuit, thinking that you made a false accusation, Ting Wei is now going to try Chao Cuo's case, and you, as the plaintiff, have to go to Ting Wei."
Xiao Fen froze for a moment, "Has Chao Cuo been arrested???"
"The big man encourages the people to sue the officials. Since you have reported it, we will of course arrest me and ask you once. You are not going to withdraw the lawsuit, are you?"
"According to the law of the big man, if you lose the false accusation, you will have to sit back. You can sue Chao Cuo for the crime. More than 1000 people appealed collectively. I have been in Tingwei Mansion for so many years, but I have never seen it. "
"However, don't worry, I am a big man who governs the world with etiquette. I will never favor Chao Cuo because of his status. We will invite Sangong to take charge of his case and allow others to sit in on it. If he is guilty, no one can protect him." live, if false accusation,,,, "
Xuan Moru laughed, showing his white teeth.
At that moment, Xiao Fen trembled all over.
"You're not withdrawing the case, are you?"
"me."
