Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 1125 Defender

While the Hanlin bachelor was on duty, Liu Sanwu's words aroused concern.

"With Lao Liu's insidiousness, there will definitely be questions that only their own people can know. Examining this kind of paper is not like reading an article. It can also be ambiguous. The answer is just one, right is right or wrong is wrong. Our people There's no way to do anything wrong with the exam!" Zhu Shan said with a bitter face: "He will definitely use this subject to keep all our people out."

"So we can't sit still and wait for death. We must take the initiative to destroy his trick!" Liu Sanwu said in a deep voice.

"How can you take the initiative?" When the three of them heard that there was a way out, they all looked at their boss.

"After the examination questions come out, the Ministry of Rites will print the examination papers." Liu Sanwu said quietly: "Zhao Butang, the great uncle, will definitely be able to see the questions in advance..."

"Ah, what does the Headmaster mean?" The three of them looked at Liu Sanwu in shock, not expecting him to be so wild.

"Yes, Zhao Butang, as the Minister of Rites, should take it as his own responsibility to safeguard the orthodoxy of the saints. He can't just watch the disciples of the saints being plotted by traitors and all fail, right?" Liu Sanwu said without changing his expression: "For the future of the saints, we must He has a responsibility to help them, even at some risk."

"..." The three of them were scared to death just listening to it. Zhu Shan was frightened and said: "Is that taking some risks? Once the news leaks out, not only him, but also the rest of us will have to lose our heads."

"Losing your head? Are you so advantageous? It would be strange if the emperor doesn't strip you and me." Dong Lun said with a wry smile: "Even my family will suffer."

First, Boss Zhu stopped the imperial examinations, the lifeblood of Confucianism, for more than ten years, leaving scholars all over the world with no way to serve the country... Of course, this is a high-sounding statement, but a more accurate description is to isolate them from the political power. .

"How could it be possible..." The three of them shook their heads together, fearing that they would shake slower than others.

"For the sake of the Holy Religion and future generations, we must take this risk." Liu Sanwu looked like a fanatical defender of Taoism, gritted his teeth and said: "Everyone, don't you always keep saying that Confucius said that he became benevolent and Mencius said that he was seeking righteousness? Chengren is right now! Why, are you afraid? Are you going to break your promise?"

This was undoubtedly the heaviest blow to the newly revived Confucianism. If the imperial examination is not resumed as soon as possible, they will be marginalized again and fall into the same fate as Taoism and Buddhism. Not even as good as others...

Finally, taking advantage of the revolution between Yuan and Ming dynasties, Confucianism re-entered the society, and this relieved the situation. But when they wanted to go further, they met Boss Zhu and Lao Liu, a father and son who were full of malice towards the Holy Religion.

Indeed, since the demise of the Song Dynasty, the holy religion has been in decline for too long. During the hundred years of the Yuan Dynasty's rule, the status of Confucian scholars was equivalent to that of beggars, and they were all at the bottom of society. The orthodoxy of Confucius and Mencius has declined like a candle in the wind.

Therefore, from the day Zhu Yuanzhang suspended the imperial examinations, successive generations of scholars campaigned for the restoration of the imperial examinations, and even sacrificed their lives. Song Lian, Dai Liang, Li Shilu, Chen Wenhui...these saints and martyrs are watching them from heaven. How can they retreat?

"Just don't do it!" Liu Sanwu nodded with satisfaction, and said to the three of them seriously: "The victory between us and Lao Liu depends on this one. After he wins, Ming Dynasty officialdom will be the world of college students, and Guozi University will completely become In his monastery, the decline of the holy religion and the rise of evil ways are inevitable. "

"If we win, his evil ways will be swept into the garbage heap of history. No one will believe his tricks. The National University will also be cleared of its origins and turned into a dojo of the Holy Cult again." After a pause, he said decisively: "So this imperial examination must completely defeat Lao Liu! Let all his college students fail! Let the Holy Religion re-unify the world!" "Yes, Head of the Court." The three people stood up and responded. No matter what they think in their hearts, when it comes to Liu Sanwu's words, they can no longer tolerate any other opinions. Otherwise, I will renounce myself in Shilin...

"Over at Zhao Butang, our hospital will look for him personally. You don't have to worry." Liu Sanwu waved his hand, motioning for the three of them to sit down, and said in a slower tone: "You only need to tell your candidates the test questions when the time comes. Of course, you must Keep it strictly confidential.”

"Yes." The three people responded again, but Dong Lun couldn't help but ask: "This subject has to admit at least two to three hundred candidates. Do we want these two to three hundred people to know the test questions? How can we keep it secret? ?”

"It doesn't matter." Liu Sanwu said confidently: "We don't reveal it to everyone. We have to keep our eyes open and choose those who are closely related and have a clear head. In fact, as long as they have no problem with their heads, they will definitely keep it secret. ”

"That's true. It's about life, property, and personal future. Who dares to talk nonsense?" Dong Lun nodded and changed the topic: "But the problem is that the Jin Yiwei is pervasive. Who knows if they have already been targeted?"

"Yes, it's completely possible." Zhu Shan and Zhang Pushen said in agreement: "Jin Yiwei can even eavesdrop on the private conversations between husband and wife. With so many cases, there is no guarantee that anyone will have their spies around them."

"Hahaha. Do you still think that the current Jin Yiwei is from that time?" Liu Sanwu said indifferently: "The King of Yan was really scary at that time, but after the incident of spying on the officials, the Jin Yiwei has been uprooted by Hu Weiyong. . Later, although they deployed spies again, they no longer had the energy to bite anyone they saw. "

"It's quite scary. We have to guard against it..." Dong Lun and the other three were still worried. Civil servants were born with a fear of spies.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything." Liu Sanwu had no choice but to lower his voice and tell them his trump card: "King Qi has promised that he will turn a blind eye to His Majesty King Tan."

"Is King Qi also involved?" The three of them were really shocked: "Will he help us deal with his brother?"

"That's because you are ignorant. Lao Liu and Lao Qi have been in trouble since they were young. Lao Liu even whipped Lao Qi in the street. So King Qi hated Lao Liu to death. As long as Lao Liu was unlucky, he would definitely help. of."

"That's it..." The three of them had actually heard of these gossips, but they still didn't believe it: "Even if King Qi and Lao Liu have enmity, will King Tan listen to King Qi?"

"The sixth and seventh children are all his brothers. I don't think he is willing to wade into this muddy water." Zhu Shan frowned and said: "And the eighth child is very afraid of the emperor. Every time he meets the emperor, he is trembling with fear. After he comes out, he always sighs with relief and says, ' You've made it through, how dare he help us hide it from the emperor?"

"Don't worry, although they are both his brothers, there is still a big difference between having the same father and half-mother." Liu Sanwu said firmly: "Besides, if you know your brother, you are your brother, if you dare to say this, you must be confident. Otherwise, King Qi would not take the initiative to wade into this muddy water."

"That's right." The three of them thought about it. King Qi must have said this with confidence.

So, the matter was settled.
