Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 398 Slapped the Kong family in the face
Li Shimin cursed angrily.

Why don't these scholars understand his good intentions?
This year they were admitted to Jinshi, but it was also due to his father, he was afraid that he would not dare to use it casually in the future?

But if it was the first batch of Jinshi after he ascended the throne, it would be quite different.

It's just that the reason is not easy to explain.

Li Shimin walked back and forth in the side hall, and after thinking for a moment, he ordered: "Go and call Changsun Wuji and Pei Ji."

Now, Li Shimin doesn't know what to do about this matter. If he uses iron and blood to expel them, it's not good. They are all literati, and their lips can be slippery. If they dare to expel them, their reputation will be ruined immediately.

But let's reason with them, Li Shimin doesn't know how to explain this reason.

The palace people retreated, and not long after, Changsun Wuji and Pei Ji came.

They had already heard about the troubles caused by the scholars when they came, so when they came to the palace, the expressions of both of them were not very good, they were very nervous, especially Pei Ji.

He was the one who proposed to postpone the imperial examination for one year. Now that the scholars have caused such a thing, he is also responsible, although he feels that he is wronged.

"Both of you are capable ministers of my Great Tang Dynasty. Now that the scholars are causing trouble, what do you think should be done?"

Changsun Wuji and Pei Ji looked at each other, but faced with such things, they had no better way, so neither of them spoke much.

Seeing the two of them like this, Li Shimin was a little angry immediately, and cursed: "I will leave this matter to you, and the prince must get those scholars at the gate of the palace away."

After speaking, Li Shimin turned and left.

The imperial palace, which was already getting warmer, suddenly became a little colder.

Changsun Wuji looked at Pei Ji with a wry smile, and said, "Master Pei, it seems that the two of us will have to suffer a little bit."

"what do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, go to the gate of the palace and meet those scholars first."

Pei Ji suddenly understood what Changsun Wuji meant, the two of them took the lead, there would inevitably be some troubles, but as court officials, Li Shimin's right-hand men, if they didn't face up to difficulties, what use would Li Shimin want them to be?
The imperial court does not support people who eat salty rice. Only those who have made contributions to the Tang Dynasty and can help the imperial court solve problems can continue to stay.

The two of them bit the bullet and left the palace. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the palace, they heard the yelling of those scholars.

"We want the imperial examination..."

"If we don't let us take the exam, we won't leave..."

The scholar's voice was a bit loud, and when the two raised their heads, they were stunned for a moment, because there were hundreds of people shouting outside the palace gate.

From their point of view, there are at most 30 to 100 people making trouble, but they didn't expect there to be more than [-] people.

This can be a bit difficult.

Before the two of them could react, those scholars surrounded them.

"My lord, Mr. Pei, we are going to take an exam, please tell His Highness the Crown Prince, otherwise we will not give up."

A scholar said something, and the others immediately started shouting. Changsun Wuji quickly waved his hands and said, "Everyone, be quiet, the imperial examination is just postponed for one year, and next year will be as usual. This year is really the imperial court. There are too many things to prepare, you have to be considerate of the court."

These words have already conveyed a message to these scholars, that is, there is no problem in the imperial examination, just a refusal.

However, these scholars obviously refused to listen.

"We considered the imperial court, why didn't the imperial court consider us? We waited for a whole year, but in the end they told us not to take the exam, and we had to wait another year. Do we have so much time to wait?"

"That's right, we won't wait, we will take the exam this year..."

There was a sudden commotion in front of the entire palace gate. Facing these scholars, Changsun Wuji and Pei Ji couldn't do anything, and they couldn't explain it to them, so they had to hide in the palace again in a hurry.

"These scholars are really barbaric. Have you fed all the things you have learned to the dogs? Have you returned the things you have learned to the master?" During the commotion just now, Pei Ji was touched by someone's elbow. Now his old face hurts, so after entering the palace, Pei Ji became very angry.

And when Pei Ji was complaining, Changsun Wuji suddenly stopped: "That's right, that's right, there is a way."

Pei Ji was taken aback: "What way?"

"Why did you miss Kong Yingda? As a descendant of the Kong family, now the temple of the old master Kong has been demolished, and the statue has been moved here. This is simply a slap in the face of the Kong family. Do you think Kong Yingda can not be angry? "

"That's right, as the Kong family is such a family, those scholars may have to give some face."

After the two thought it over, they immediately ran back and told Li Shimin about the situation.

"His Royal Highness, let Kong Yingda come forward, this matter may be possible."

The two were about to drag Kong Yingda into the water, but Li Shimin had no choice but to think that their method might work, so he ordered the palace servants to tell Kong Yingda.

Confucian mansion, when Kong Yingda was studying at the mansion, a young servant hurried over.

"Master, something is wrong. Because of the postponement of the imperial examination, those scholars made a fuss."

"Let them make trouble, His Royal Highness will naturally handle it."

"But those scholars tore down the temple of Confucius and put the statue of Confucius in front of the palace gate. They said they would not go back unless the imperial examinations were resumed."

"What?" At this time, Kong Yingda was not calm, and jumped up all of a sudden. The statue of Confucius is the ancestor of their Confucius family. Face.

Without waiting for the servants to continue, Kong Yingda led the people to run outside in a hurry, but after running a few steps, they bumped into the palace servants.

"Master Kong, His Highness the Crown Prince asked you to persuade those scholars to leave quickly, and don't make trouble for nothing..."

"I'm going now." Before the palace man could finish speaking, Kong Yingda replied angrily, then left the palace man and rushed to the palace.

How annoying, dare to demolish the temple of his Confucian family.

Kong Yingda came to those scholars angrily, and before they could open their mouths, he scolded: "Are you still scholars, ah, are you still scholars, you have demolished all the statues of the most holy teachers , Do you know what you are doing? Respect the teacher, respect the way, respect the teacher, where is your teacher, tell me, where is your teacher?"

Angry Kong Yingda was a little crazy, those scholars suddenly fell silent and looked at each other, the situation seemed to be turning around.

But at this moment, a scholar suddenly stepped forward and punched Kong Yingda in the face with lightning speed.

"Respecting the master, we don't even have the chance to be an official in the imperial court, and we still respect the teacher..."
