Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 547 Do you know the name of the saint?
The game between the courtiers has always been one-on-one, and no one can always overwhelm the other. In other words, they all work for the emperor, and who is really convinced by whom.There are often ups and downs in the officialdom. If you are an official, you will suffer a loss sooner or later.

I don't know what the emperor thought this year, but he chose Wei Zheng as the chief examiner of this year's imperial examination. This not only surprised Li Chengqian, but also surprised the officials and workers of the Manchu Dynasty.Who didn't know that Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou made many heroes and family officials hungry for three whole days because of the food problem, and they took control of the sky and the earth, and let others talk about it.

The reputation of the two of them can be described as bad now, and their colleagues saw them hiding away, and they became lone ministers, and asked Wei Zhenglai to be the chief examiner to preside over a session of Chunwei, isn't it uncomfortable?

Well, after the news got out, many Confucian scholars and students who gathered in Chang'an actually demonstrated and refused to take the exam. They held the tablet of Confucius and gathered in front of Zheng Guogong's mansion, and listed Wei Zheng's benevolence and forgiveness for disrespecting Confucius and Mencius. Dao, all kinds of crimes that run rampant in the government and the public.

They said that Wei Zheng would humiliate his colleagues in every possible way whenever he had something as big as a sesame and mung bean. There are countless officials. If there are such officials in the court, they will cause disasters, and scholars dare not enter the court to serve as officials.

People live for a lifetime, and they live for a lifetime. Who can guarantee that he will not make small mistakes in his life? Even a saint is not exempt from vulgarity. With Wei Zheng, a guy like a mastiff looking at him, it doesn't matter if he is an improper official, so as not to embarrass Wei Zheng Son of a saint.

After knowing that Wei Zheng was deflated, the emperor spent a long time in the Zichen Palace. Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng, you are always making trouble for me. deserve it.

Don't you always talk about the teachings of saints, and call yourself a noble moral figure?This time it's okay, let the disciples of the sage refute you, but I will see how you continue to remonstrate in the future.

Laughter to laughter, joy to joy, after rejecting Wei Zheng's request to resign as the chief examiner, Li Shimin casually took the matter to Linde Hall and handed it over to Li Chengqian for disposal.Anyway, it is the crown prince's job to manage the imperial examinations. No matter whether it is good or bad, Wei Zheng has to do it this year. As for how to solve it, it is not something I have considered.

Li Chengqian could only express his helplessness for his father's one-retirement six-two-five.At this moment, Li Chengqian had a feeling of revenge in his heart. For the first time, he hoped that the child in Dugu Miaoyin's belly would grow up soon, and when he was able to do things, I would also enjoy happiness. This is the privilege of being an old man!

According to Chang Sun Chong, the reason why the scholars have such a rebellious mentality is because the ministers of the aristocratic families who were mistreated a few days ago, they are all civil officials, and many students under their sect are going to enter the official position through the imperial examination. After seeing what happened to the mentors, they all said that it was improper for the officials to not even eat An Sheng's food.

Afterwards, it was passed on to the scholars who had made good friends, and it spread throughout the circle of examinees in a short period of time. The prime minister of the court actually humiliated the disciples of the saints so much. Potential.

Scholars are not easy to offend. When Li Chengqian killed the Confucian scholars, he had a good reason. Even if anyone was not convinced, he could only bear it in his heart.After all, Tang Law's definition of treason is there. It is useless to ask anyone, and it will cause fire if it is not done, so the scholars and scholars are all talking behind their backs.But it is reasonable and legal for people to make troubles in Zheng Guogong's mansion today. We can't say that people break the law for the sake of faith!
When Li Chengqian had a headache on how to solve this embarrassing matter, Dou Kuan, Minister of the Ministry of Integrity, said: "The way of Confucius and Mencius, the monarch and minister, father and son, the way of Yin and Yang, the establishment of three poles, and long-term planning are the only ways to govern the country.

His Highness cannot personally suppress the scholars' active participation in state affairs. If you want to solve this problem, you have to do the opposite and find someone who doesn't understand the ways of Confucius and Mencius to take the job.If you don't understand, you don't have so many constraints, and you don't have to abide by those rules. Only by doing things can you get twice the result with half the effort! "

As soon as Dou Kuan finished speaking, the eldest Sun Chong on the side took the words: "I said Dou Shangshu, Yunwen, Yunwu, as long as you can draw a way, we can find them all, but if you want to find someone who is not at all Those who understand the "way of Confucius and Mencius" are really embarrassing. Even if they are as vulgar as the Duke of Lu, they can still make a few sentences. There are such people in the East Palace!"

Of course Li Chengqian understood Dou Kuan's meaning, but at this moment he really couldn't think of anyone in the government and the opposition who didn't understand anything, and whose prestige could suppress the officials of Confucian scholars and scholars.Immediately, he raised his finger and pointed at Dou Kuan, and said with a faint smile, "Yanji, don't be a fool, just tell me who is suitable for this job."

Hehe, "Your Highness, don't worry, I heard that the Duke of E was poor and humble when he was young, and he made his living by blacksmithing. It was because he couldn't eat enough that he joined the army and conquered the army. After hundreds of battles, he has changed his glory today. If he can't eat, then he has time to study As for the way of Confucius and Mencius, Dou Da’s characters can’t be picked up in a basket, and if you don’t believe me, you called him here, and he probably doesn’t know what Confucius is called when he comes.”

Hearing Dou Kuan's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help but nodded. As expected of an old official for many years, his eyes were not ordinary poisonous. Why didn't he think of this general who was born in a common family? It's not a joke to clean up some troublemakers, it's completely shooting mosquitoes with cannons.

But Changsun Chong just didn't recognize this evil. In his opinion, even if Yuchi Jingde didn't know any words, he had been in court for 20 years, and he had been fighting with that old fellow Kong Yingda for ten years. I don't know who the ancestor is, so I set up a banquet with Dou Kuan immediately to see who is more accurate in judging people.

After a while, Yuchi Jingde, who received the order, rushed to the Linde Palace in joy. Recently, there has been a lot of movement in the west. He had quelled the rebellion of the Liao clan there. It seems that the emperor must have asked the prince to come and say hello to him. , There is a war, can it be so beautiful?

After seeing the ceremony, Yuchi Jingde asked carelessly: "Prince, are you letting the old ministers go to war? Don't worry, but with Yuchi Jingde's long spear, I will definitely not let those thieves step into the country."

Seeing old Yuchi's chest thumping loudly, Li Chengqian quickly asked him to sit down and drink a cup of tea to calm his anger. These veterans are already old, how can they still be as brave and fierce as young people? Woolen cloth!

"Duke E, don't worry about the war, I'm here to ask you about a matter."

Hearing that it was not an expedition, the excitement on Old Yuchi's face disappeared in an instant, and he casually cupped his hands and replied: "Your Highness, you are welcome, you can ask whatever you want, as long as the old minister knows, I will tell you!"

"Duke E, do you know the name of Confucius?"

Confucius?Call yourself all the way to ask this?At this time, Yuchi Jingde couldn't help but despise Li Gang and Zhang Xuansu in his heart. What kind of famous teachers in the world are they? They don't even teach their students what Confucius calls them.

Therefore, under the sympathetic influence of having a teacher who can only talk empty words for the prince, Yuchi Jingde replied casually: "Return to Your Highness, everyone in the world does not know the name of Confucius, the second child of Confucius!".
