Chapter 181 Let's go, sister-in-law will take you to the lecture hall to scare people
Originally, whether it was the teachers, officials, or Li Ziyu's classmates, they were all shocked to see Li Ziyu, who was usually low-key and introverted, come out.
I thought this person must want to get the painting "A Dream of Red Mansions: Inner Courtyard of the Jia Family" painted by Mr. Shuiyun.
So there should be something to say.
result
I didn't expect to be asked such a question!
Wei Anming just asked Yang Shanchang, the biggest traitor in the dynasty, what is a loyal minister and what is a treacherous minister!
And now Li Ziyu asked Mi Wanjun, how to be an official! ?
You have to know how Mi Wanjun became an official. Even people who don't know Mi Wanjun can tell from her flattering appearance just now.
Then you ask this person how to be an official! !
Wei Anming was a man of strong character and integrity. Everyone knew that he did that because he hated Yang Shanchang so much. After all, his father, Duke Xuancheng, had suffered a lot in the past.
But what are you doing, Li Ziyu?
Are you all so strong today! ?
What a day!
This lecture tonight is so exciting!
Although the Yang Party was criticized by Your Majesty, it was not completely eliminated. They still have power and influence.
And although you, Li Ziyu, are asking about Mi Wanjun, you still have to look at the owner when beating the dog. The owner, Yang Shanchang, is right over there!
All the students were surprised when they saw Li Ziyu with a sincere and serious face.
Even the teachers frowned and wanted to say something.
Wei Anming did not need them to save him. They could save Wei Anming just because of Lord Xuan Cheng's reputation. What's more, some officials present, such as Zhang Gu, Li Chunfang, Su Zifeng, Xun Kuang, etc., were all friends of Lord Xuan Cheng.
But you, Li Ziyu, have no one to back you up!
"Zi Yu, how to be an official? Maybe someone else can ask this question." Wen Zhegu said.
After that, Wen Zhegu said: "Although I am not an official in the court, let alone an official, the sage said that I should be an official."
Just as Wen Zhegu said this, Li Ziyu bowed deeply and said, "Sir, you are very knowledgeable and I admire you very much. But I want to ask Lord Mi about this."
Wen Zhegu frowned: “Zi Yu!”
But Li Ziyu had made up his mind. He looked at Mi Wanjun and bowed again, then said in a clear and melodious voice: "Please, Master Mi, help me solve my confusion."
The moment of bowing.
Li Ziyu had a determined look on his face, thinking back to when he was in his hometown. Because he was Mi Wanjun's nephew, many people believed that he didn't need to take the imperial examination and his career would be smooth sailing. Even if his performance was not good enough, he would definitely have no problem sitting on the position of prefect.
But no one knows that Li Ziyu is disgusted by his uncle.
They are extremely flattering, embezzle money, and protect each other among officials.
this.
Not the official of Da Xia in his mind!
He was certainly not the uncle he had seen when he was young, the uncle who studied hard and always said, "I am willing to shed my blood for the security and prosperity of the country."
After arriving in the capital, Li Ziyu saw the prosperity of the city. He also saw that his uncle had actually taken the position of secretary. He also saw the Yang party members living a luxurious and licentious life in the red-light district. He also saw the Queen Mother's party members amassing wealth and accepting bribes, treating students who had studied hard for decades as bargaining chips.
He also witnessed with his own eyes that after his uncle received the money, he directly recommended a useless person to be a county magistrate. Li Ziyu had inquired about that position and knew that it was a position that should be held by a passionate candidate for the imperial examination, but that candidate was arranged to be a small county magistrate.
Decades of hard study are not worth a thousand taels of silver.
Li Ziyu claimed that he was not a saint, that his knowledge was not as good as Yan Shu, and that he was even worse as a person than Yan Shu.
It is even less than the courage Wei Anming had to stand up just now!
He was just an ordinary person, an ordinary Imperial College student who was at the bottom of the entire Imperial College in all aspects.
but
He believes that he has his own integrity, which is inferior to others.
Although it was extremely ridiculous, Li Ziyu wanted to stand up and ask his uncle, since he was a minister of Xia, eating the emperor's salary and being worshipped by the people, why didn't he do what an official should do!
And be willing to be a clown in the eyes of everyone.
So, Li Ziyu stood up.
After bowing, Li Ziyu's eyes became more determined and clear. He stared at Mi Wanjun, who was looking surprised, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice again: "Please! Lord Mi, please solve my doubts!"
It was obvious that Wen Zhegu's action was to save Li Ziyu, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it.
Everyone expressed their gratitude to Mr. Wen for coming to the rescue in time.
But Li Ziyu's refusal also shocked everyone, but what shocked even more people was...
Li Ziyu, who used to be so low-key, humble and even gave people a dejected feeling, was so determined at this moment.
He seemed to have the courage to go forward even if there were thousands of people against him.
When Yan Shu and others saw Li Ziyu like this, they were also stunned where they were, staring at Li Ziyu's back.
Just now, Wei Anming, Zuo Shaoweng and Li Wei were looking at Li Ziyu's back with shock on their faces. Among them, Wei Anming looked at Li Ziyu's back with eager eyes, and he felt that there were actually like-minded people in the Imperial College!
Many people noticed the determination of Li Ziyu. Countless students were stunned and looked at Mi Wanjun.
Seeing that Li Ziyu was so determined, Wen Zhegu stopped talking and just clenched his fists and looked at his good friend Cao Shen, thinking of asking Cao Shen to protect this student of his who was very low-key and not favored by many people.
The other old masters also knew Li Ziyu, but they did not have a deep impression of him because Wei Zijian, Liu Sanbai, Liu Xuan and others around Li Ziyu were too prominent and it was impossible for them to remember Li Ziyu completely.
Master Yao knew Li Ziyu, and he remembered that the child's handwriting was very good. Although he was a little lacking in literary skills, he had a good character!
Mu Xu narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Ziyu, smiling in his heart, wondering if this boy still had such courage? Not bad, not bad!
Officials such as Zhang Gu, Cao Shen, and Li Chunfang looked at Li Ziyu and thought about the name Li Ziyu.
They all knew some of the famous students in the Imperial College.
But the name Li Ziyu is unfamiliar to me. I heard it for the first time today.
Among them, Zhang Gu looked at Li Ziyu with a determined expression, then turned to look at Mi Wanjun.
Yan Jingqing narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Ziyu. Today, any Tom, Dick or Harry dared to jump out!
Mi Wanjun stared at her nephew, her heart burning with anger. Damn it, there has always been an ungrateful person around me, right? !
However, when looking at Li Ziyu, Mi Wanjun did not show any anger on her face. Instead, she smiled and looked at the tutor: "Teacher."
The Grand Tutor glanced at Mi Wanjun and nodded.
Mi Wanjun immediately bowed to the Grand Tutor, then smiled and looked at Li Ziyu, and said, "The foundation of one's life, the way to deal with the world, the way to employ people, the way to govern, and the fun of leisure are the five aspects of being an official. 'Virtue, talent, learning, respect and apology' are the five virtues of being an official. If you become an official, you can naturally be called an official if you start from these five aspects and the five virtues."
"However, if you want to be a truly good official, you must do more than these things, such as serving the people wholeheartedly, worrying about the people while in office, solving doubts for Your Majesty, and devoting your life to our Great Xia. Ziyu, what you asked is too broad, and there is really no answer to the question. But if you insist on my answer."
At this point, Mi Wanjun turned around and bowed to the Grand Tutor, then looked at Li Ziyu: "Just like the four words Grand Tutor wrote just now, 'Haoran Zhengqi'! With such a noble spirit, you will naturally be upright as an official, and the five aspects and five virtues will come naturally and smoothly."
After Mi Wanjun finished speaking, she looked at Li Ziyu. Although she had a smile on her face, her eyes were sharp and it was clear that if possible, Mi Wanjun would have already taken action.
but
Hearing Mi Wanjun's answer, all the students frowned, and cursed her in their hearts for being shameless! At this time, she could even flatter like this, which was really shameless!
Li Ziyu looked at Mi Wanjun and bowed again: "Master Mi, I once heard a good friend mention that officials who eat and live with the people are good officials. Master Mi just mentioned the five virtues and the 'righteousness'. I don't understand. Officials should serve the people, just like the saying 'If an official does not serve the people, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes'. Therefore, I am confused. Who is the righteousness that Master Mi is talking about? Is it for colleagues or for the people!"
At this point, Li Ziyu bowed again and said, "Please, Master Mi, help me solve this problem!"
Mi Wanjun was furious when she heard this, but she knew she had to hold it in, so she kept a smile on her face: "Of course it's for the people. And, Ziyu, you..."
Li Ziyu immediately interrupted and asked, "Then why did Lord Mi mention the righteousness written by the Grand Tutor! Instead of his own righteousness! If you understand it this way, can you think that Lord Mi is not serving the people, but his colleagues, and is an official not for the people? And he wants the righteousness of a high official, so can I understand that Lord Mi does not have that kind of righteousness in his heart!"
Mi Wanjun heard this and immediately said, "Li Ziyu! What nonsense are you talking about! I am full of passion, don't be so presumptuous here! And you keep slandering me, what is your intention!"
Li Ziyu said without any servility or overbearance, "I just want to ask Sir Mi to solve my doubts about what is a good official and what is a flattering official. But Sir Mi's words are confusing, and I am stupid, so I asked a few more questions. Please forgive me, Sir Mi. But, I still want to ask Sir Mi! Solve my doubts!!"
Li Ziyu didn't know what he was thinking, he just knew that he had done it, so he would do it to the end. He had already taken the first step, so why should he be afraid!
Awesome! Li Ziyu!
Those who knew Li Ziyu and those who didn't were all surprised to hear the logic that Li Ziyu spoke under such a compelling momentum.
Zhang Gu's eyes lit up. Although he was a little stupid, he was still a good rough diamond.
Mu Xu smiled and shook his head. "Oh my, silly boy, if you ask in a more tactful way, won't Mi Wanjun be even more embarrassed? If you are so straightforward, Yan Jingqing will catch you."
While thinking this, Mu Xu was not afraid that anything would happen to Li Ziyu and continued to watch the show.
The students in the Imperial Academy.
He is here.
No one can be harmed by anyone.
Just as Mu Xu thought.
Yan Jingqing stood up and looked at Li Ziyu: "What a good student, I have seen him today. However, lectures are to resolve doubts, discuss and debate. But you have been aggressive time and again, and the person you are forcing is a senior official of the dynasty. Where is the etiquette?! Disrespecting a fifth-rank official of the dynasty, according to the law, ordinary people will be exiled 3,000 miles away, and in serious cases, they can be sentenced to death! You are a student of the Imperial Academy. Considering that you are a pillar of our Great Xia, and considering that today is a lecture, if you don't kneel down and beg for mercy, we officials in the court can regard you as young and reckless, and give you a light punishment and let you go."
Zhang Gu stood up and said with a smile: "He is asking questions, Lord Yan brought up the issue of disrespecting officials. So what kind of questions are he asking? What are we doing here? What are all these students doing here? When the Queen is here, will anyone dare to listen to the lectures? Will anyone dare to ask questions? Lord Yan, don't take it personally. It's just that this student is a little impatient, how can we talk about the law?"
Yan Jingqing looked at Zhang Gu and said with a smile: "You are aggressive, is it because you are impatient? When talking about the noble spirit, you mentioned the Grand Tutor, and even said that Lord Mi does not have the noble spirit. Such slanderous words have come out, but Lord Zhang is disrespectful. The law is merciless and leaves no room for maneuver. Lord Zhang once worked in the Ministry of Justice. Lord Zhang should know this better than me. And the masters of the legal school are here today, how about you, Lord Zhang, talk to them?"
Zhang Gu smiled and said, "The law is merciless? Lord Yan showed mercy to your brother-in-law, didn't he? Do you want me to tell you about this?"
Yan Jingqing immediately turned serious: "Zhang Gu! Don't change the subject. What we are talking about now is Li Ziyu's disrespect for the official in red robes!"
After Yan Jingqing finished speaking, an official from the Yang Party stood up and said, "I think Li Ziyu is indeed disrespectful."
Seeing that some of the Yang Party members had started to speak, an official who admired Li Ziyu's courage stood up and said, "How can you be disrespectful? Li Ziyu is very humble and is just seeking education. How can you be disrespectful?"
Another member of Yang's party spoke up: "With such behavior, you actually think that he is just studying? Absurd!"
…
For a moment, officials stood up one after another.
The students inside and outside the lecture hall looked at this scene and didn't know what to say.
Li Ziyu looked at the trouble he had caused and wanted to say something, but he noticed that Yan Shu, Liu Xuan, Wei Zijian and Liu Sanbai had stood beside him without him noticing.
Yan Shu whispered, "Don't talk."
Li Ziyu was stunned.
But he immediately saw Wei Anming walking up to him, smiling at him, and then looking at Mi Wanjun.
Zuo Shaoweng, Li Wei, and several other students were all like this.
Among them were female scholars such as Su Linhan, Cui Yuer, and Li Xingyue.
Xun Kuang remained silent.
Because he knew his teacher didn't say anything.
But when he saw Yan Shu and others like this, he smiled.
Mu Xu even took a sip of wine and looked at the dozens of students standing out. Hmm~~~ Not bad, at first glance, they really have the character of scholars. Together, they can hold up this lecture hall.
but
You bunch of stupid boys, it's no use for you to stand up.
However, Mu Xu was not in a hurry to stand up and speak. Instead, he glanced at Yang Shanchang who was looking down and continued drinking.
Outside the lecture hall, more and more students stood behind Li Ziyu.
These students were all very angry, and many of them wanted to stand behind Li Ziyu, but they were too far away to squeeze in.
And just here Su Changan, Xia Fengxiang and others
Su Zhaoxin's eyes widened: "Why did they start arguing?"
But after he finished speaking, he saw his second sister and the others stood up and stood behind Li Ziyu. After thinking for a while, he looked at the brothers behind him who looked very ugly in his eyes, and said, "My two brothers, something happened to my second sister, I have to go over there. What is our Shanshui called?"
Su Changan rolled his eyes: "Stay here."
Su Zhaoxin looked at Su Changan in confusion. He had been feeling very strange from the beginning. Why did this guy with squinty eyes and a big mole on his nose speak like his older sister?
But before Su Zhaoxin could speak.
Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "Su Zhaoxin, do you want to go take a look in front?"
Su Zhaoxin was stunned for a moment.
But still no words were spoken.
Xia Fengxiang looked at him and said, "Follow us. Sister-in-law will take you to the lecture hall to scare Yan Jingqing, the one you just said you hated so much."
Su Zhaoxin blinked: "Ah?"
What sister-in-law?
What?
Su Zhaoxin looked confused.
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang: "Is it going to pass?"
Xia Fengxiang nodded: "It's become such a fuss. If I don't get rid of it, it will be mine."
As he spoke, Xia Fengxiang glanced at Yan Ruyu.
Yan Ruyu immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order.
Then he pulled in front of Su Changan and the others, and the eighth-grade sword intent dissipated. The students in front suddenly felt something was wrong. They turned around and saw Yan Ruyu's appearance and were shocked. They also trembled inexplicably in their hearts. They just felt that they should stay away from this person, so they subconsciously made way.
Look, Yan Ruyu has opened a path.
Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan walked behind Yan Ruyu.
Su Zhaoxin looked at the road that suddenly cleared, and the ugly person walking in front, with a face full of question marks.
Then he looked at Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan who were walking behind him with even more confusion.
My heart is filled with confusion.
The little person is full of question marks.
"Let's go, what are you standing there for?"
Xia Fengxiang looked back at Su Zhaoxin standing there motionless, and then spoke.
Su Zhaoxin had a dull expression and followed subconsciously, but still looked confused.
But at this time.
Something happened that made Su Zhaoxin open his mouth wide!!
That is, when he saw the older brother who spoke like his older sister, he suddenly gave up some of his own face.
This made Su Zhaoxin gasp, there is something dirty! !
And it wasn’t just Su Zhaoxin who was shocked by this scene!
There were also the students around who had to make way because of Yan Ruyu's sword intent, as well as the students who saw this scene.
Originally, these people just wondered what these ugly people were going to do, and were even more surprised why the students around them would rather crowd together and make way for these ugly people.
But when they saw these people pulling off their facial skins and taking off the strange things around their ears, they were all completely horrified.
"What is this?"
"It seems like a disguise."
"What's wrong with these people?"
…
The noise spread quickly, attracting more people to look over.
And the voice spread quickly, and everyone looked at the four people who had walked out of the corridor of the lecture hall.
Among them, of course, are the many teachers in the lecture hall.
However, Su Changan, Xia Fengxiang and the other two did not care about the gazes of these people at all. They continued walking towards the lecture hall while taking off the things stuck on their faces to avoid being recognized.
As the saying goes, the more trouble it is when you prepare it, the more trouble it will be when you go.
The present moment is the best proof.
but
Just when Su Changan took off his fake nose, half of Su Changan's appearance was already revealed.
Su Zhaoxin was frightened at first, but as he walked, he realized that it was not a dirty thing, but something that these people had stuck on their faces.
So he followed closely and kept watching. At that moment, he stood in front of Su Changan. He looked at Su Changan and blinked his eyes with a look of surprise and horror: "Big sister??!!"
