Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 862 Donggong Edition "Knowing the New Record" ([-])
The room leak happened to be raining overnight, and it was talking about the current Li Chengqian. Before the matter of the harem was over, a book about the crown prince's "glorious deeds" was distributed in Chang'an City in one day-named "Records of the Eastern Palace".

This book introduces in detail how Li Chengqian tortured King Wu, King Gaoping and other clans after he became the prince, forced Yuwen scholars and other heroes, and killed famous people in Shu. Ten counts.

It was written in detail, and it was wonderful. Even Li Chengqian couldn't help being amazed. I don't know why he thought that the writer who wrote the book waited in the East Palace every day to watch what he did.

"His Royal Highness, this matter can't be left alone. After all, Kong Yingda's disciples are incompetent and disciplined. He and the officials of the Imperial College have already knelt outside. Please punish him for his crime of disrespect. The students are taught by them. , as a teacher, I am willing to take care of the students a little bit."

"The discipline is not strict? Fang Xiang, this matter is probably not so simple. Mr. Kong is completely avoiding the important and favoring the children of the Guozijian. If it is so light in the past, where is the majesty of the prince? I think we should focus on investigation. Don't worry." make one escape."

"Prince Bin, calm down too. This scholar is really outrageous. He should be taught a lesson, but most of the people in the Imperial College are good, so there's no need to make a fuss." If more than a thousand students were arrested because of one person, what would these scholars think? It wouldn't be a bomb!

"Liu Xiang, I think what Zhongshu Ling said is very reasonable. If you dare to do it, you must dare to act. Since the Imperial College is the highest institution in my Tang Dynasty and the place to train reserve officials, you should pay more attention to words. The so-called loyalty to the emperor and the country, If you don’t understand the way of a monarch and his subjects, how can you learn the way of a sage and be an official?”

Liu Ji is Li Tai's loyal direct descendant, of course he will come out to win people's hearts for Li Tai at this time, no matter what decision the crown prince makes, the scholars will always think of His Royal Highness King Wei, both left and right will get something, so it is easy to calculate;
But the East Palace is not a vegetarian either, how can you and Kong Yingda take advantage of it for nothing and damage the majesty of the prince, so Dou Kuan must maintain a high-pressure momentum.

"That's right, since His Highness became the crown prince, hasn't he done little for the king, the country and the people? He has made no less contributions than all of you present here! You have to endure it for nothing if you are insulted by sour Confucian scholars. Why, Why?
The courtiers in the court are all loyal and upright ministers, and the generals in the army have a deep relationship with His Royal Highness, will they let it go? ” Wang Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of Integrity and Integrity of the Procuratorate, and Wang Zhi, the left servant, took the words, and Cui Shu, the right servant, also agreed with this point of view.

Everyone in the East Palace was caught on hold, and Du Ruhui, Xiao Yu, Tang Jian and other big bosses kept silent, which made Fang Xuanling and Liu Ji a little bit embarrassed; Scholars have actually published a book, which is devoted to arranging the princes of a country. This is not the way of sages to teach them the way of loyalty to the monarch.

It is because of the years of hard work of Kong Yingda and others that the inner guard can bear it until now and not break into the Imperial College to arrest people for the crime of treason, but now the situation is irreversible, what use can they do? !
Seeing that the prince was reading "Eastern Palace Records" with relish and remained silent, Fang Xuanling became anxious and whispered: "Auxiliary machine, auxiliary machine, talk to you at this time!"

Others could keep quiet, but Changsun Wuji couldn't do it because he had a special relationship with the emperor and the prince. As long as he said something, there was still room for maneuver, so Fang Xuanling had to urge him.

Of course, Changsun Wuji understood what Lao Fang meant. Normally, his relatives would be suspected by others when they spoke, but at this time, in this hall, he was the only one who could win three points of face from the prince, so that Kong Yingda and others and scholars would be less affected. Even a little crime can stop the mouths of the courtiers in the East Palace. Didn't Wang Zhi move out the army to scare people?
But even if Fang Xuanling doesn't call him, some words still have to be said. If they are all arrested, it is tantamount to going against the entire scholarly society, and waiting to sin against all the scholars in the world. Even the emperor is not willing to go easily. Offend them.

My nephew, I know well, don't look at Gao Ming smiling now, but if he really turns his face, then what are these more than 1000 scholars!You must know that there are a total of [-] cavalry in the Bayegu tribe, and they were all buried in the blink of an eye.

When those Mobei leaders heard about it, they packed their bags and went to Chang'an to pay tribute. They ran faster than the rabbits on the grassland. When they met the emperor, they cried out their loyalty. They thought Li Chengqian threw their children into the well went.

Well, after clearing his throat, Changsun Wuji cupped his hands upwards, and then he heard the voice say: "Your Highness, Kong Gong and others are loyal and pure courtiers, they have devoted their lives to learning, and they follow what the saints said. There is no class in teaching. But this person is tall, short, fat and thin, and his moral character is also good and bad, and it is normal for some people to be unsatisfactory or rebellious!"

"The old minister remembers that His Highness said when presiding over the exam a few years ago that a person's moral character will change with time and cannot be generalized, so is it the same for these scholars today!
I believe that the vast majority of them are loyal to the court and respect you, so I would like to ask Your Highness to show mercy, to put the wrath of thunder to rest, and only punish the chief culprit and the accomplices. I wonder what His Highness thinks? "

Don't talk about Changsun Wuji, everyone here counts as one, who doesn't know the truth that there is no wave without wind, and it spread so fast, can it be done by several culprits and accomplices?It's not that these scholars who talk about being loyal to the emperor and serving the country all day long are secretly fueling the flames and making the situation so serious with their gossip.

Youdao means that everyone speaks a word, they read a lot of books, of course they know what is true and what is not; but the ignorant people don't know, they will really think that the prince, like Yang Guang, is a man who is good at disguising. The hypocrite, the real villain.

"Okay, since the opinion of the uncle and the house minister is this, what else can I say! This matter will be handed over to the third division and the inner guard for trial, so don't implicate so many people.

Oh, it's not easy for scholars, let Confucius and the others go back, the Prince Gu really can't afford to offend them! " After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian got up and left in a huff, leaving the important ministers foolishly hanging under the steps.

This is what Changsun Wuji said, the so-called mother and uncle are big, otherwise how could Li Chengqian get around the babbling and clamoring of these guys who only know how to eat free food in the dark corners, discussing the royal family and the great affairs of the court, arranging a prince of a country, what a joke, You must know that this is beyond the category of "swearing the emperor" behind the scenes. .
