Han family achievements

Chapter 397 The wind of swords rises

"What kind of syllabus is this? Not even one-tenth of the previous collection of Classics and History is left!"

"And what are these additions, art of war, arithmetic, physics, what are these?"

"Dong Sheng deposed the side disciples, is he back again today?"

"No, no, we must summon the Prime Minister to ask for an explanation!"

More than a dozen people rushed towards Xun Yu with great momentum.

As they continued to approach, Xun Yu and others had heard it very clearly and were waiting with different expressions.

The leading young man came closer with a copy of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and shouted: "Prime Minister, please give me an explanation!"

He wanted to rush over, but was stopped by the plainclothes guards, so he could only wave his textbook from a short distance away and shout loudly.

Xun Yu remained calm and glanced at Kong Rong from the corner of his eye. Lu Yu and others had their hands behind their backs and did not speak.

Kong Rong seemed to be stunned by this scene. He was at a loss for a while, then suddenly stepped forward and scolded: "What are you doing? Do you want to attack the prime minister?"

The leading young scholar showed no fear and shouted at Kong Rong: "Kong Taichang, dare I ask if there will be no classics and history in the curriculum from now on? Will the teachings of the saints be abandoned?"

Kong Rong glared and shouted: "The syllabus is set by the imperial court. As a student, you just have to study with peace of mind. How can you fool around and get out of here quickly!"

"What do we study? Art of war, physics, arithmetic, how can these heretics get into the elegant hall?"

"Kong Taichang, as a great scholar in this world, is it possible that you also learned these things?"

"Sage classics are rare. I dare to ask Kong Taichang, what do you think?"

Kong Rong's face was ashen because of the blockage, and he couldn't say a word.

Lu Yu, Chen Qun, and Sima Yi stood behind Xun Yu, witnessing all this, their eyes flickering slightly, but they did not speak.

Xun Yu had his hands behind his back, his expression as usual, and his eyes glanced back and forth at Kong Rong and these scholars.

He knew that there was opposition between the government and the opposition to the "Jian'an Curriculum" drawn up by the Chancellor, and it was quite large, but the Chancellor ignored it, or pretended not to know.

Because this is what the palace decreed.

Many years ago, when Cai Yong was still Taichang Qing, these syllabuses were gradually revised. In the words of the palace - 'Education cannot rely entirely on sacred knowledge, it must also be pragmatic and change as things change with the times. We cannot be stubborn and conservative, let alone copy it mechanically'.

Kong Rong was blocked and speechless. The scholars became even more excited and attacked the imperial guards who were blocking him. They shouted to Xun Yu: "Prime Minister, how many of your sage's books do you remember? How much of the sage's words can you still remember? How much of it is in your ears?”

"Stop! Stop!"

Six or seven guards blocked these soldiers, pushing and pushing them hard, and they were already unable to resist.

"what……"

Suddenly, a young man yelled, his body shook violently, his eyes widened, and he fell backwards.

The excited scholars were frightened and moved out of their way, watching helplessly as the young man fell to the ground.

The young man fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, twitching again and again, and then suddenly stopped.

This scene made everyone quiet down and stare at him.

I don't know how long it took, maybe it was just a moment, but a guard came forward, tested him, turned around and came to Xun Yu, and whispered: "Prime Minister, he is dead."

Xun Yu, who had always been calm and composed, suddenly changed his expression at this moment, and his hands behind his back were tightly clasped together.

"The Prime Minister killed someone!"

I don't know who suddenly shouted, and then the dozen or so angry scholars yelled, and some even ran away.

Kong Rong, who was still stunned on the spot, suddenly became excited and exclaimed: "Don't shout, don't talk nonsense!"

Kong Rong was still shouting here. Countless people in Taixue had heard it and quickly gathered around. At the same time, it spread to who knows how far and to how many people.

Lu Yu took everything in sight, quietly stepped forward, and whispered: "Prime Minister, it's better to leave first."

Xun Yu slowly loosened his hand behind him, stared coldly at Kong Rong's back for a moment, then turned and left.

Xun Yu only brought a dozen guards with him. These plainclothes guards quickly surrounded Xun Yu and took him away.

But the scholars who came after hearing the news had already blocked Xun Yu, and the angry noises drowned the sky and the earth.

"Prime Minister, leave quickly, we will stay behind!"

Sima Yi stepped forward and said solemnly.

At this time, if Xun Yu was blocked here, what would the angry scholars do? The consequences would be unimaginable!

Before Xun Yu could speak, Lu Yu had already taken action and pulled Xun Yu over. The guards covered him with their clothes and hurriedly turned into the alley.

Sima Yi took several people and fought hard to cut off the rear.

Kong Rong panicked and blocked the gathering of scholars, shouting and calling on the angry scholars to calm down.

"The murderer is not allowed to escape!" The angry scholars chased after him and threw stones at Xun Yu and others.

Chen Qun was hit and staggered, but still gritted his teeth and said: "Prime Minister, leave quickly!"

He led several guards and blocked the path to buy time for Xun Yu.

Xun Yu's face was solemn, and he was thinking as he walked quickly.

What happened today was too weird, and it was obviously planned by someone.

Lu Yu ran with Xun Yu for a while. Seeing that there was no way forward or backward, he suddenly said: "Climb over the wall!"

Xun Yu frowned. Before he could speak, the two guards who followed him were already dragging him to climb over the wall. Xun Yu was not a pedantic person. He really turned over with just a few efforts.

Lu Yu, who was only in his early twenties, followed closely.

Looking around, he pulled Xun Yu and ran away, saying: "Prime Minister, find a place to hide first."

This is Imperial Street, and there are Taixue teachers and students everywhere. If someone recognizes them, the two of them may not be able to leave.

If something happens to Xun Yu, as the current prime minister, the city of Luoyang will explode!

Xun Yu looked at the teahouse not far away and strode over directly.

Lu Yu took the first step and took out some money, and the small teahouse closed its doors to thank guests.

Xun Yu stood in the hall, frowning even more tightly as he looked at Lu Yu and said, "Tell me, is Kong Taichang involved?"

Lu Yu's expression changed slightly, he raised his hand and said, "I don't know, I don't know."

Kong Rong was a great Confucian at that time, and his status in the literary world was higher than that of Cai Yong.

The reason why Cai Yong is famous is that he is keen on banquets and banquets and is good at poetry and songs, while Kong Rong is a real master of Confucian classics!

If Kong Rong was involved in this matter and the "Jian'an Curriculum" matter, it would be extremely difficult for the court to deal with it!

Xun Yu was thinking in his mind and couldn't decide, so he turned around and went up to the second floor.

He came to the window, and through the gap, he saw countless teachers and students of Taixue pouring out of the gate, shouting loudly, and seemed to be rushing towards the palace.

Lu Yu also saw it, and his heart sank, and he said, "Prime Minister, will you return to the palace immediately?"

Xun Yu shook his head slightly and said: "It only added fuel to the fire. Now we must find a way to calm down the teachers and students of Taixue and prevent the situation from escalating further."

Lu Yu also thought about it and said: "Prime Minister, the Ministry of Punishment must quickly intervene to find out the cause of death of the living member, so that the truth can be restored."

Xun Yu didn't say anything. He raised his head and saw Sima Yi with a bruised nose and swollen face. Chen Qun climbed over the wall and came out. His clothes were messy and full of mud. They were in a very embarrassed state.

"Let them come up." Xun Yu turned around and sat down on the chair, thinking about how to handle this matter properly.

Lu Yu came to the bed and waited for Sima Yi. When Chen Qun approached, he called out in a low voice.

When they saw it, they looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so they quickly walked towards the teahouse.

Sima Yi and Chen Qun came to the second floor and endured the pain to pay tribute to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu looked at them for a while and saw that they were not serious, so he asked, "What do you think of this matter?"

Neither Chen Qun nor Sima Yi spoke immediately. They were both very cautious people.

"Sima Yi." Xun Yu named him.

Sima Yi slowly raised his hand and said: "Prime Minister, I think this matter seems to be for the 'Jian'an Curriculum', but in fact it is for the 'New Deal'. Some people don't want the court to continue to implement it."

Xun Yu said without comment, "Chen Qun."

Chen Qun showed a serious look on his face and said, "Returning to the Prime Minister, I thought that the Chancellor's Office announced two days ago that the Prime Minister was coming to Taixue. There were too many people who knew about it, and there were many people who could set up this conspiracy. I didn't have a clue at the moment, so why not?" The matter at hand must be properly handled to prevent the situation from escalating and really affecting the government's affairs."

Xun Yu took a sip of tea, remained silent for a while, and said, "Lu Yu, find some way to bring Kong Rong here. Then we will stay here and we are not allowed to tell anyone."

This thing happened so suddenly and strangely that Xun Yu couldn't see clearly, so he had to observe quietly.

Lu Yu raised his hand and said: "I will accept your order."

With that said, he took a few guards and quietly went out to look for Kong Rong.

Sima Yi and Chen Qun stood there with calm expressions on their faces. They knew very well that this matter would not be easy to resolve. It would definitely be a huge turmoil between the government and the opposition!

"Prime Minister, it seems that Sima Lang of the Criminal Cao has brought someone to the Imperial Academy." The guard beside the bed turned around and reported to Xun Yu.

"It came very quickly." Chen Qun said somewhat surprised.

Sima Yi remained calm and said: "The matter is so important, how can I be unhappy with the punishment?"

Chen Qun glanced at Sima Yi and wondered, are your Sima family really neutral?

By this time, the news that Xun Yu had killed a student at Taixue had spread throughout Luoyang City.

In front of the palace gate, the teachers and students of Taixue were even more crowded, shouting for an explanation.

Inside the Chancellor's Desk, there was a roar of wind and cranes, but there was total silence.

Xun You and Zhong Yao stood in front of the steps, looking outside the palace in the direction of Taixue, with iron-like expressions, as if angry.

"Can you guess who did it?" Zhong Yao had a serious face and his eyes were spitting fire.

This was not the first time he had taken action against Xun Yu, but it was the most direct, cruel and violent one!

Xun You's chest rose and fell, suppressing his anger, and said in a serious tone: "Still checking. With so many people, there will always be some clues. I would like to know if some people regard me, Xun Gongda, as the mud under their feet, and can step on it anytime, anywhere. How many kicks!"

Xun You was really angry. How long had it passed since Cao Cao's incident, and now someone couldn't help but take action against Xun Yu?

I didn't take him seriously at all!

Zhong Yao was equally angry. He looked back and said, "Is there any news from the palace?"

Xun You's expression changed and he said: "I just tried a few words with Xu Yan. Your Majesty already knows it, but there is no decree."

"Then give us time to deal with it."

Zhong Yao understood and said: "I'll ask Zhicai to intervene and find out as soon as possible."
