Zhu Xi’s thoughts are not important, what is important is whether Zhu Xi married a nun or slept with his daughter-in-law!
Only the officials in Beijing know why they reacted so strongly.
Many people were moved to tears. -
They have also been swept up!
It is obvious that something has nothing to do with them at the beginning, but how come they are suddenly dragged into it! It is even more terrifying than political struggles and party struggles! Wuwu
... Now, a group of officials who want to protect the reputation of their ancestors have resolutely stood up - mainly because it might affect them. If you say that their ancestors are traitors, they will not be able to get away with it. "I have read that book too." Official No. 1 stood up, smoothed his sleeves that he had rolled up when eating melon seeds, and said to the confused scholar: "It does record the deeds of my ancestors. It is completely true, but I don't want it to be spread outside, please forgive me." "Hiss--" The crowd of onlookers heard this and picked up the melons. Crowd member number one exclaimed: "As expected of the Royal Library, it must have hidden a lot of celebrities' privacy!" Crowd member number two nodded: "That's normal! To ordinary people like us, this is a secret that no one knows, but to the royal family, to the royal family with the Golden Guards! It's as easy for them to find out about this as drinking water, they collected it easily!" Crowd member number three whispered: "Actually... I really want to know what he doesn't want to spread." Crowd member number four quickly followed up: "I want to know too!" Crowd member number five: "It can make the descendants of the person involved jump out, It must be more exciting than Zhu Zi taking a nun! " A certain scholar of Zhu Zi's faction immediately retorted: "Zhu Zi did not take a nun!" Onlooker No. 5 was unhappy: "I know Zhu Zi did not take a nun, isn't this just for comparison! Are you so stingy when eating melons together?" Quan Yingzhang glanced at him. ——Looking at the word "eating melons", you can tell that it is a Beijing official. The surroundings are already in chaos. In the center of the venue, officials No. 2, 3, 4, and 5 no longer have time to refute the rumor that their ancestors did not do anything exciting... uh, they probably didn't do it, right? Several people exchanged glances, and at this moment, through their eyes, they established a treaty of not laughing at each other and helping each other. [Why did they react so strongly?] Xu Yanmiao was confused for a second, and suddenly reacted: [I know!!!] How did you know it again? You'd better not know it! The smart people present immediately thought, "I know, can they hear my voice?", and the air suddenly became quiet. Everyone's heartbeat accelerated, their bodies tensed, and their brains worked hard as they began to think about how to make up for it. Xu Yanmiao's tone became excited: [Their ancestors must have done a lot of shameful things, but I didn't expect to encounter such a big melon! ] [Let me have a bite! ] Smart people: "..." Okay, they thought too much. Officials one, two, three, four, and five did not expect that they would make things worse. Several of them blacked out, as if they saw the ancestors laughing in the dark, and the coffin lid that the ancestors could not hold down. Next to them, the scholar looked at the officials who rushed out in shock: "You..." Oh! He understood! The book is indeed true! Otherwise, how could so many officials, including those from different factions, come out to testify for Xu Shentong after having eaten their fill? Moreover, there was one person he knew, and that person particularly hated Zhu Zi! If the notebook novel was fake, there was no need for this person to rush out to testify for Xu Shentong! Helping Xu Shentong would be to help Zhu Zi clear the charge of marrying a nun! The scholar held onto his spiritual light and immediately spoke: "Since this book records the deeds of the ancestors, there is no need to ask Mr. Xu to recite it. I believe this book is true." How about that, is it good enough to understand it? The scholar was full of confidence. Then he saw that those officials did not show any sign of approval, but instead had ugly faces, as if their parents had died. Scholar: "?" Did he misunderstand? Oh! He understood!!! They were afraid that others would think that they were protecting Xu Shentong! The scholar came to his senses and did not laugh out loud. Instead, he said more confidently: "It's just that I'm not sure whether Xu Lang is familiar with the Chu Dynasty's note novels. Can Xu Lang recite the stories of the ancestors in the note novels that are popular on the market?" In this way, there will be no doubts, right? Moreover, Xu Shentong should not be so stupid as to really tell some note stories about love between men and women, right? What a great idea! "?" The scholar looked at the officials in front of him, a little confused. Did he say something wrong? Why do these people feel that their faces are getting greener and greener? Xu Yanmiao had already answered: "Okay, then I'll recite another story." Among the officials, the smart ones smiled. Only a fool would rush out to stop Xu Yanmiao just now. Wasn't this just to make Xu Yanmiao notice him? The fool was still jumping in front of Xu Yanmiao, and the real smart people had already hidden in the crowd. Xu Yanmiao: "However, there is no need to mention the ancestors of my colleagues. Outsiders may wonder whether I have given them instructions in advance to let them rush out at this time. How about this? Please name an official position at random, how about that?" Xu Yanmiao: "He hates Zhu Xi, so he won't do anything for me. He has never been an official in the court, so he has no idea of protecting me or the face of the court. And as a great scholar, his reputation and prestige are enough. How about it?" Before the scholar could speak, officials one, two, three, four, and five couldn't wait to say: "Agree! We agree with this!" The smart people in the crowd turned green. We don't agree with this! ! ! *
Tong Xin, the great scholar, stood up and walked to the center of the scene.
Quan Yingzhang grabbed him and whispered, "Pick someone from the Jinwen School."
Tong Xin also whispered, "I don't know who is from the Jinwen School."
Quan Yingzhang thought of Ji Sui first, but Ji Sui was not there. He had returned to his place to be the prefect... It's not impossible to choose a prefect, right? Xu Yanmo didn't say that he must be a Beijing official just now?
It's a pity that if he really did that, it would be too targeted. Quan Yingzhang regretted giving up.
"Then..." Quan Yingzhang thought about it and smiled, "There is a doctor of the Five Classics in the Hanlin Academy, his surname is Meng and his name is Hao, how about you choose him?"
So Tong Xin made a default choice.
But the person who was defaulted was not happy at all, and had a dead father and mother face the whole time. When asked, he said, "I don't like to laugh by nature."
Xu Yanmiao revealed the secret: "Eh? Dr. Meng? This is the 55th generation grandson of Mencius!"
——Someone traced the ancient and modern literary schools before and found that the ancient literary school may be headed by Xunzi, and the modern literary school may be headed by Mencius.
So...
everyone looked at Mr. Quan.
Quan Yingzhang laughed out loud: "Oh! What a coincidence."
Dr. Meng glared at him. If Mr. Quan was not almost ninety years old, he would have punched him.
Too shameless!
The schools cannot compete for superiority, but they actually directly target the ancients who have passed away!
Xu Yanmiao: "Ahem, then let's talk about Mencius..."
[I flipped it. ]
Dr. Meng's face was pale.
The prince touched his chin and said to himself, "That's not right. Didn't I say before that I wanted a note novel from the same period as Zhu Xi? Why did you suddenly jump to Mencius?"
Dr. Meng: "!!!"
That's right!
Dr. Meng's pupils trembled, and he was heartbroken: "Wait--"
However, Xu Lang had already said it smoothly and fluently: "Mencius scolded the Zongheng family for being a concubine, does that count?"
The descendants of the Zongheng family who were happily watching the show in the venue: "???"
Wait, what did you say? What?
The generals: "Hahahahahaha--"
Xu Yanmo: "Mencius said that those who are good at war are guilty of a great crime."
The generals: "???"
Why is my house on fire?
The descendant of the Legalist school sighed twice: "How miserable! After a thousand and eight hundred years, I still get scolded."
Xu Yanmiao: "By the way, the Legalists are also traitors."
Legalists: "..."
Xu Yanmiao finished in one breath: "Mozi of the Mohist school has no father, Yang Zhu of the Taoist school is a beast, and the farmers use sweet words to confuse people's minds..."
The descendant of the Mohist school in the Ministry of Industry reached for his carving knife.
The descendant of Yang Zhu in the court felt that he was inexplicably beaten.
The farmers who were not good at speaking silently surrounded Dr. Meng.
Dr. Meng insisted on his position: "I think that the debts of our ancestors cannot be repaid by future generations. What do you think?"
The descendants of the farmers showed him a simple smile.
"Bang——"
Dr. Meng covered his face with his hands and suffered for his ancestors.
——The main reason is that, apart from these few sentences, Mencius cursed more harshly and more in history. New hatred and old grudges added together...
Xu Lang looked innocent: "This..."
"It's okay." One of the officials held his hand: "Let's talk about Zhu Zi again!"
Let our ancestors go, please.
Anyway, Zhu Zi has so much dirt on him, he doesn't mind being talked about,
right? Another official: "Speaking of which, I heard that Zhu Zi got his daughter-in-law pregnant. Is it true?"
Another official, with a strange light flashing in his eyes: "I want to know, did Zhu Zi let people beat the famous prostitute unjustly!"
Another official coughed embarrassedly: "That... I heard that Zhu Zi seduced the young and beautiful widow Hu Li Niang..."
Tong Xin next to him: "..."
So no one cares about Zhu Zi's doctrine, right?
Although he had experienced the previous dynasty, he would not be prejudiced against the current court. He would not think that all the officials in the court were corrupt and incompetent.
But!
Not being corrupt does not mean being so open! Tong Xin
's pupils were shaking.
——How come these ministers are completely different from what he thought?
As they were shaking, he smelled a spicy smell.
Tong Xin turned his head and saw a man of unknown official position holding a small paper bag with a few strips of...beef jerky sticking out of the opening? !
Or spicy beef jerky.
He was eating happily, and while eating, he stared at Xu Yanmiao, obviously using Zhu Xi's deeds as a meal.
Quan Yingzhang whispered: "That's the prince."
"Oh, it turns out to be the prince..."
Tong Xin's voice paused.
Wait?
Who is it? !
The prince felt Tongxin's gaze, rummaged around in his pocket, and took out a small paper bag and stuffed it into Tongxin's hand: "Here, do you want to eat it, Daru? This spicy beef jerky is delicious."
Tongxin looked down at the bag of spicy beef jerky, then looked up at the prince, and his brain immediately went blank.
