Emperor: Ah?
Six Ministers: Ah?
Official who eats melons: Ah?
The censors of the Censorate: Ah?
Even the eunuchs serving on the side were like: Huh?
Who could have imagined that Wei Yong, who had always been at loggerheads with Lu Chen in the court, and who had always been on guard against Lu Chen, would stand up to support Lu Chen at this moment.
What is even more interesting is that the person who caused the most trouble was the censor from the Censorate.
From a procedural perspective, before impeaching certain officials, the censors of the Censorate would definitely take the impeachment memorial to their immediate superiors for review.
Politics always emphasizes sticking together for warmth, and even the censors in the Censorate are no exception.
Every impeachment by the Censorate was likely to result in an official being dismissed from office. Once the Censorate launched an attack, people would not think that this was the personal opinion of a certain censor, but rather that it was instigated by Wei Yong, or at least approved by him.
But what is the situation now? An imperial censor just impeached Lu Chen, and you, the head of the Censorate, came out to support Lu Chen and denounce those who impeached Lu Chen. What do you mean?
Is it that the Censorate has gotten out of control and you can no longer control the censors under you, or do you think the Censorate is not clean and you plan to discipline the people under it?
Every word and action of every politician must have deep connotations. If not, it means his level is not good enough. If you can't read it, it means your level is not good enough.
Wei Yong’s support for Lu Chen is just a superficial phenomenon, so what is the deeper thing?
With Wei Yong's words, the so-called impeachment naturally could not proceed. Li Zhuo was even furious. There were actually people who dared to hinder the anti-epidemic rescue at this time. They really deserved to die.
He has already issued a death order to investigate immediately. If such a thing really happened, the perpetrators will be severely punished!
After the court was dismissed, when Li Zhuo left, a group of officials also staggered out of the hall.
Wei Yong was still the same, walking slowly and leisurely, with no one within a radius of three meters.
It seemed that he was isolated, but in fact, Lord Wei's pressure was too strong, so the officials did not dare to get close to him.
Wei Yong actually enjoyed this feeling. He was determined to be a loyal and lone minister. Besides, given his identity, it was inappropriate for him to get too close to other officials.
I returned to the Censorate to deal with the documents at hand, and it was another uneventful day.
After getting off work in the evening, Wei Yong got up on time and returned home. After washing up, he actually went out with his wife and children.
This is a rare thing. Although the nightlife in Beijing is rich and exciting, there are not many places to go to play with your wife and children.
Besides, a man like Lord Wei, who is incorruptible, doesn't look like the kind of person who would go to a brothel.
Some curious people followed them all the way, and then they saw Wei Yong and his family go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Now it's clear. Lord Wei is planning to visit the library of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Ever since Lu Chen opened the library of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it has become a paradise for readers all over the world.
The Imperial College and the Hongwenguan all have to step back in front of the library of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Let me ask you, does your Imperial College offer a course on astrology (mathematics)? Does your Imperial College offer a course on the fundamentals of Taoism (weakness)? Does your Imperial College offer an introductory course on alchemy (chemistry)?
You have nothing, so how can you have the nerve to compare with the Chinese Academy of Sciences?
Some time ago, someone conducted experiments to prove that there is qi around us, and the theory of yin and yang qi does make sense.
In addition, there is a microscope in the external laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. If you drop a drop of water into it, you can see countless small lives in it. Doesn’t this just prove the Buddhist saying that one flower, one world?
Look at those bald donkeys who only talk all day long, unlike our national master who only plays with reality!
As for the collection of books related to Confucianism, there are even more here. Whatever you have in the Imperial College, we have here, and what you don’t have in the Imperial College, we also have here.
Although many of the Confucian school's doctrines are followed by just a few simple sentences and many bookshelves are left empty, it is these words that make scholars all over the world excited and flock to them.
For example, there is a sentence written on the side of one of the bookshelves: "Preserve the laws of nature and eliminate human desires." At first, a lecturer from the Imperial College came to cause trouble, but when he saw this sentence, he was stunned on the spot, stood there for a whole day, and then went crazy.
For example, on the bookshelf on the other side there is a sentence written: "The heart is the reason, knowledge and action are unified, and conscience is achieved", which has attracted praise from countless great Confucian scholars.
During this period, many famous scholars came here to visit, and some of them stayed here for a whole day.
This incident made the entire Chinese Academy of Sciences feel like they were facing a great enemy, fearing that these old people would get too excited and accidentally get stuck here, which would cause huge trouble.
This is not a joke. Modern people may not understand how much Confucian scholars of this era value learning.
Anyway, after seeing these thought-provoking words, many great scholars were so excited that they wanted to immediately find their close friends to comment on them and express their feelings.
But when they picked up the book from the bookshelf, opened the first page, and saw that it said that this sentence was the core idea of a book written by a Confucian sage, and the book had been lost in the long river of history, which was a great pity, the mentality of these old people exploded on the spot.
"The Five Barbarians Invaded China! It must have been the Five Barbarians Invading China! Such a pain for our Confucianism! How much of our culture was destroyed!"
"When I think of the works that our ancestors painstakingly wrote, all their lives spent on studying, destroyed by barbarians, it truly breaks my heart!"
During this period, such old gentlemen appeared in the library of the Chinese Academy of Sciences almost every day, making the entire library, the entire Chinese Academy of Sciences, and even the entire academic circle in the capital feel like they were facing a great enemy.
Wei Yong walked into the library and took a look at the empty bookshelves first. He found that there was indeed someone standing there hysterically, and there was also an old man sitting on the side with a look of despair on his face. Wei Yong suddenly felt a ball of anger in his heart.
"Humph, this Lu Chen is a monster. There's absolutely nothing wrong with my assessment of him! Look, even if he's not in the capital, he's still able to bring disaster to the scholars there. Is calling him a monster really unfair?"
The old wife beside him hurried forward to stroke Wei Yong's back and help him calm down, saying: "Yes, yes, my husband is right, that child is indeed a smart person, my husband should take extra care of such a child and can't let him go astray."
"But then again, it's precisely this kind of thoughtful and insightful person who can resolve the various crises facing Great Qi and truly protect his wife, children, and elders. I heard that this child's parents died early? Is that the case with Cai'er?"
