I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 184 I will wait for Confucian scholars to go to Weiyang Palace to force the palace (for subscription)

"What Tian Gong means is that my uncle should wait to die in the imperial prison?"

"Shibo was only convicted for his words. The county magistrate was young and vigorous, and he probably said something out of anger in the court. After calming down, he will definitely take into account Shibo's old age and illness, and give him a lighter punishment."

"What's more, Tingwei Li Guang and Zongzheng Liu De are both Zhongzheng and fair people, and they will definitely enforce the law impartially."

"We can also play separately, intercede for Shibo, and clarify the whole story. Presumably the county magistrate and the court will handle it properly."

"Now, the imperial court will use troops in the coming year, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to make extra trouble."

Tian Wangsun spoke in a very orderly manner, not only considering the emperor's face, but also Xia Housheng's "lizi".

He explained it sentence by sentence, and the originally agitated atmosphere gradually calmed down.

However, Xia Houjian here was very dissatisfied.

In this way, even if uncle Xia Housheng is released from prison tomorrow, or even reinstated as an official, what good will it do him?

No, I can't let this Tian Wangsun continue to mess around, I have to muddy the water.

"Hmph, Mr. Tian has got so many promises from Taichang, why did he say these words of forgetting his ancestors, did he promise you to be the next Taixueling?"

"You, where are you saying that? It's bloody!" Tian Wangsun never thought that Xia Houjian would say such vicious words, and suddenly became a little anxious.

"What I want is a statement. Today my uncle is sent to prison, and tomorrow the princes may be sent to prison. Then what is the face of my Confucian scholar, and what is my safety?" Xia Houjian's words once again touched the pain of everyone in the hall. The young doctoral student seemed to be angry again on his face.

"That's a bad word!"

The person who stood up turned out to be Xue Guangde, a doctor of "Lu Poetry", and he said: "Xiahou Gong seems to have made a mistake in one thing. After all, Shibo slandered Emperor Xiaowu, so he is naturally guilty. It is a proper intention to issue an imperial edict. If we wait How can there be a risk of going to jail if you don't violate the laws of the great man?"

"What Xue Gong said is very true!" Shi Sheng and Hou Cang also agreed.

Xia Houjian understood that there was no competition in the matter of "whether to slander Emperor Xiaowu or not".

He doesn't need to be too entangled in this matter, he has to grasp the point that "the emperor does not respect Confucian scholars" in order to make the article bigger.

After the other doctors had finished speaking, Xia Houjian said rather eloquently: "Leave aside this matter, the emperor sent the great Confucian uncle, my family uncle, to the prison for disrespecting Confucian scholars. How can we sit idly by?"

Confucian scholars are also human beings, so why should Confucian scholars not go to jail for breaking the law!

How could Xia Houjian, who is familiar with the scriptures, not understand this simple truth, he just didn't say it on purpose.

"Tomorrow, I will go to the north gate of Weiyang Palace to ask for an edict, so that the county magistrate will take back the edict. If I don't get the temple name of Emperor Xiaowu, I will be freed from the crime of my uncle Xiahou Sheng. If the county magistrate disagrees for a day, I will not stop for a day." .”

"Who is going with me?"

This is more than just asking for an imperial edict, it is simply forcing the palace.

As soon as Xia Houjian's words fell, Hu Chang and Yan Gongsun, who were collaborating with him, immediately stood up and expressed their determination, and the doctoral students under their jurisdiction also shouted.

The Son of Heaven has not long been enthroned, and he is still young, so he must not dare to kill anyone, so what is there to be afraid of?
Xia Houjian was quite complacent at this time, squinting at the other doctoral officers, and said with some eccentricity: "Do you want to be on the same level as me, or you want to separate from us."

"Mr. Xiahou, you are trying to force the palace. You want to use the wrath of the county magistrate to fulfill your reputation. If you do this, the world may be in chaos." Tian Wangsun and others have seen through Xiahoujian's thoughts.

If the county magistrate complies with the request of Xiahoujian and others, then Xiahoujian will become the pillar of Confucian scholars;

This seems to be an admonishment by admonishing officials, but it contains self-interest - there is a better way, but it is necessary to make a big fuss. If it is not for self-interest, what is it for?
How could Tian Wangsun and others participate?

"Since Tian Gong is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, there is no need to say more, and I will not send you away."

Xia Houjian issued an order to evict guests, and it was impossible for Tian Wangsun and others to stay, so he left immediately with his doctoral disciples under his jurisdiction.

Immediately, more than half of the people in the lobby were gone.

Xia Houjian looked at it and said: "All disciples go back first, and take me to discuss a charter, which will be circulated to everyone. This matter is on the line, and I have to do it. I must let all the officials in the court see that we are waiting for you." Confucian scholars' anger."

"promise!"

The young Confucian scholars who were easily incited were all blushing and their hearts were beating wildly. They thought they would do something that would last forever.

They don't know that they can only see a corner of this big man, and they don't realize that they have become pawns in the hands of others.

……

After a while, there were only three doctoral officers left in the lobby.

"If this matter can be accomplished, we will become the pillars of the Confucian scholars; if this matter fails, I am afraid we will be sent to prison." Xiahou Jian paused and continued, "Second Duke, you can think about it carefully. gone?"

"Duke Xiahou doesn't need to say any more. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, you may never meet again in the future."

"Fortunately, this young county magistrate has no experience in court, so he hastily sent Shi Bo and many virtuous literature to the prison, but..." Hu Chang hesitated for a moment, and said, "The county magistrate will not be angry. Is it bad for Shibo?"

His words caused the two of them to hesitate for a moment.

After all, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and he holds the power of life and death in his hands. If he insists on head-to-head confrontation, Xia Housheng in the imperial prison and himself outside the imperial prison are powerless to parry.

"There are so many Confucian scholars in the world, the county magistrate dare not do such insane things, not to mention, Huo Guang is cautious and will stop him from the sidelines. This county magistrate is just a puppet and can't accomplish anything."

It is based on this kind of shallow indirection that Xia Houjian dared to "take chestnuts from the fire". Such a short-sighted person cannot do anything in the court, and the sky really has eyes.

"Even if something happens to my uncle in prison, he will be relieved to know what I'm doing outside..." Speaking of these words, Xia Houjian showed a trace of cruelty on his dry face.

"That's great, then everything is ready." Yan Gongsun clapped his hands and said.

If this goes well, they will not only gain fame, they may even be able to enter the imperial court and be ranked among the three princes—then Yang Chang and Cai Yi were also born as Confucian scholars?
"In order to be safe, we must make this matter bigger."

"It's all sent by Duke Xia."

"Yan Gong, today, you go to Chang'an to find other Confucian scholars, no matter whether they are government schools or private schools, no matter if they are children who have just started their education or old Confucians who have been through the years, you will find them, and you will say that the county magistrate is insane. Huo Guang It is even more incompetent and incompetent, and they want to make a big military operation, not giving us Confucianism a way to live, and not giving the common people a way to live!"
