Chapter 105 The Messenger of Justice

The essential contradiction between Wude Palace and Guozijian is actually another way besides the imperial examination, which occupies the number of officials.

However, a villain is a metaphor for profit, and a gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness.

Since he is a son of the country, he naturally talks about righteousness rather than profit.

From time to time, a fight broke out between the two sides, usually because of the righteousness of the Imperial College students to "read less scriptures in the Wude Palace and oppose the learning of barbarians. If Western knowledge can stabilize the country, then what use is it for us".

Now the Northern Confucian school's "divided education and practical assessment" is just a wish, and the imperial court has no money, and dare not use the imperial examination system for fear of causing turmoil.

After all, it is just a slogan. In fact, there are not too many people who learn practical things, just a little more than in the late Ming Dynasty. There are also a few people like Fang Yizhi and Xu Guangqi, but most of them are baptized believers.

Liu Yu was holding back his anger today, and in order to avoid troubles in the future, since everyone came, the fights became more and more ruthless.

This is called one punch to avoid a hundred punches.

It has to be made clear to these supervising students who don't know what to expect.

Either play the big game and kill me, the son of the duke, the captain of the light chariot, and the guard in front of the palace;

Although he was ruthless, he actually had some respect for the supervisor who spoke just now.In terms of this backbone alone, it is enough.

Facing the unprecedented changes in the year 2000, the dynasty will be reduced from a celestial kingdom to a prince of other countries. Such a psychological gap is not so easy to accept anyway.

From the perspective of the current mainstream values, what the supervisor said just now is also correct: the world is the world, even the Celestial Dynasty is gone, so what is the world talking about?This is not what is the world of death?
Liu Yu understood clearly in his heart that the status of the celestial dynasty was achieved by fighting and working, not by closing the door and dreaming.

It's just that he made up his mind not to argue with these people for the time being, and only regarded himself as a barbarian.

Dozens of Wude Palace sacrificed their lives to beat up a similar number of Guozijian students, with a huge advantage.When the scene was about to get out of control, there was a sound of gong, and a large group of soldiers from the Boyer Army came from a distance.

Li Jiusi, the Duke of E, came here on horseback. The students from Guozijian and Wude Palace were fighting, which was not something the local officials could handle.

As soon as the gong sounded, the beaten people on both sides retreated.Just take the avenue as the boundary and stand on each other.

"Nonsense! How decent is it?"

Li Jiusi yelled angrily, and when he saw Liu Yu standing in front of the rioting crowd, both of his families were nobles, he became even more angry at this moment, scolding: "You nonsense! Why did you start fighting? What's going on? "

Liu Yu didn't speak, Mantou stood up from behind, knelt down and said, "Report to the Duke, those people beat me for no reason, and when I fought back, they said I was a slave and dared to beat the students."

Mantou was awarded the honor on the northern battlefield, and Li Jiusi was there that day, so he remembered this guy who "has low ambitions and just wants to marry a woman from a good family". up.

"Who beat you? This person has honors. I am a general in the court, not the former court Qiu Ba. You guys are so brave!"

First of all, let the crime be confirmed, Li Jiusi said in his heart, this kind of thing is naturally going to his own people, since it is justified, of course he must be strong.

Chen Zhen, who was vomiting blood after being beaten, climbed out, prostrated himself on the ground, and cried, "Duke! We are outraged by righteous indignation. That Liu Yu insulted the state system of the Celestial Dynasty, made the state suffer the humiliation of Song and Liao, and deceived the Holy Majesty even more. We really don't know what happened. People have honor."

After finishing speaking, he cried again: "We really can't figure it out. Why should we break up with Yi Diping's generation when we are in heaven? Song Dynasty and Liao congratulated each other, so that there was a follow-up of Jin and Mongolia. The king did not rule the barbarians. Don't refuse, don't chase those who are far away. Since we are expanding the land for thousands of miles, why not divide it into a foreign service and form a celestial dynasty system? Why do we have to associate with the Raksha country? If it violates the border, we will go back! Is there no man in my celestial dynasty who can't fight? Is it? You want to give it away with year coins, and you want to congratulate him?"

When he cried like this, the people at the Guozijian also knelt down and shouted: "I can't figure it out! Why do you have to associate with the Raksha country? After the expansion of the soil, the foreign service is divided, separated, and if you don't communicate with it Yes! Why do you want to fall into the face of the heavens? If so, isn’t it the death of the world?”

Although Li Jiusi has also read books, he can't argue with these people no matter what. How can he explain what the world is?

He thought to himself, Emperor Taizong might be able to understand this truth, but it is a pity that Emperor Taizong passed away early, and he only proposed many righteousness, but he has not had time to explain the scriptures.Today's interpretations are still those great Confucians, each with their own understanding.

He couldn't argue with this matter, but he knew about the Rakshasa negotiations.

It is for the two to carve up Mongolia and recognize the throne, but it is just to build a good relationship and prevent Raksha from supporting when Junggar is attacked.

Many things have not been fully resolved, and the Rakshasa delegation came to Beijing to agree on more details.If they had to insist on the word "tribute" and force the Raksha people to come to see the emperor, the Raksha people would naturally refuse to come.Besides, the DPRK and China really have no money in the past few years, and they still have to save money to fight Junggar. How can they continue to fight with Rakshasa?

Li Jiusi thought to himself, this matter is strange.

Although there are quite a few people who know the details of the negotiations, those who know the details naturally understand the key points. These students actually only know one thing and don't know the other.

But if it is said that this is just to beat Liu Yu, it seems unlikely.Yi Guogong is an old bastard, he hides whenever he can on weekdays, it is unlikely that someone will take advantage of Yi Guogong.

Move Liu Yu, what does this mean?For a while, I couldn't figure out what the people behind them wanted to do.

It was not easy for him to deal with this matter, so he could only say: "I can't decide this lawsuit. You all get up first, and I will report this matter to His Majesty."

Chen Zhen was supported by his classmates, but instead of standing up, he continued to kneel on the ground.

Seeing that Chen Zhen was young, Li Jiusi probably guessed that he was a poor guy being used by others, so he said helplessly, "What else do you need?"

Chen Zhen kowtowed his head several times and said: "When I was born, I paid tribute to Chen Zhen. People speak lightly, but everyone in Emperor Taizong's Yun Kingdom can discuss politics. The students have a few words, and I want to say them together."

Without waiting for Li Jiusi's consent, Chen Zhen immediately said: "The court mostly uses students from the Wude Palace as officials, but they read less scriptures and learn more from barbarians. If we go on for a long time, we may not know the righteousness of a sage."

"Sima Wengong commented on Wang Jinggong, saying: "Heavenly changes are not enough to be feared, people's words are not enough to be sympathetic, and ancestors are not enough to follow the law!"

"Wu De Palace learns barbarian and Di knowledge, although it is the legacy of Emperor Taizong, but the ancestors are not good enough!"

"Students think that the imperial court should reform the law, abolish the Western knowledge of Wude Palace, and add the words of saints!"

"The Celestial Dynasty has "Sun Tzu", "Wu Zi", the laws of Sima Wuhou, martial arts and martial arts, Wu Temple has philosophy, and Confucian Temple has virtue, so why use Western knowledge? If you can master these knowledge, why worry about the world? Injustice?"

"Furthermore, those who are not of my race must have a different heart. Even if Yi Di has some knowledge, how can he compare with the words of a sage?"

"Students are also afraid that it will be mixed with the words of no king and no father. During the period, Liu Shouchang is eager to learn Western learning and get close to Westerners. Only then will he humiliate the country. This must be investigated!"

Liu Yu snorted coldly at the side: "During the Yongchang period, there were many people who had read the righteousness of saints, but many had their hair shaved. When it comes to the knowledge of saints, how are you compared to Yan Shenggong back then? On the contrary, Taizu, Taizong, Shizong, and Gaozong all If you don’t read the scriptures, you might as well protect the righteousness of the world! In my opinion, this Confucian scholar who has read the classics and righteousness may not be much better.”

Chen Zhen said loudly: "Those who surrender are not real Confucian scholars!"

Hearing this familiar argument, Liu Yu laughed even more in his heart.

Just as he was about to retort, Li Jiusi was probably afraid that Liu Yu would say something shocking in front of the public, so he shouted: "Enough! Liu Shouchang, you step back. Let's not mention this for now, I don't understand these things, so I can only Report to His Majesty and send another person to deal with it."

"Everyone back down! Back off! Go back to the dormitory, closed today, not allowed to go out, waiting to be dealt with. Someone, send them back!"

Give an order, the soldiers of the Boyer Army don't care about the identities of these people, they hold the blunderbuss upside down, and drive everyone away.

Some soldiers came and carried away the wounded and unable to walk on the ground.

Just as Liu Yu was about to leave, Duke E gave Liu Yu a wink immediately, shook his head slightly, and signaled Liu Yu to be careful these few days.

Yao Yao saluted and thanked them, and went back to the Wude Palace. The people who fought with him rarely read the sage's words on weekdays. Chen Zhen's words of debating scriptures had no effect on them, but they all felt that they had a good fight today.

"Brother Shouchang, I despise the group of people in the Imperial College the most. All of them are ambitious and bold, but in the end it's useless. In terms of knowledge, only those who can't be promoted come to the Imperial College, and none of them may have any ability."

The fight was over, and almost no one was injured on the side of Wude Palace. They were all elated, and naturally they were fighting against each other.

The fact that Wude Palace was built opposite the Guozijian meant to stir up conflicts, thinking that the court would check and balance. They didn't understand what issues were involved in today's battle, so they naturally helped Liu Yu speak.

Liu Yu cupped his hands at everyone and said, "I'm sorry for today's matter, all students. In a few days, I will serve wine at home, so I must thank you."

They couldn't go out today, and they talked for a while, and then went to the school to listen to lectures.

On the second day, the above-mentioned disposition still had no result, only saying that this matter needs to be tried again.Everyone can leave the dormitory, but they are not allowed to fight again during the trial period. If there is another fight, no matter whether it is right or wrong, they will be severely punished.

Liu Yu guessed that this matter might not be easy to deal with, so he could only make peace with it first, or there might be another dispute in the court, and the dispute could only be resolved after a result.

In the end, Liu Yu also injured some people, and before the official punishment, Liu Yu was fined to pay 20 taels of soup and medicine.

Thinking that it would be best not to cause trouble these days, Liu Yu decided to go home and hide for a few days. He didn't believe that these people were brave enough to go to his house to make trouble.

Another one also wants to go back and ask his father about the situation in the court.Something was really wrong with this matter today. If it was just out of the righteous indignation of the young people that he was almost beaten, that would be a trivial matter.

But after listening to the meaning of those people's petitions, it was still the difference between the "celestial dynasty" and "China" that was pointed at.

Luocha's missions will soon enter Beijing, which is extremely important to Liu Yu, and this is an excellent window to see the world.If envoys can be exchanged, it will be of great benefit to the exchange of Western learning eastward, especially at the moment when Catholic teaching cases are frequently issued and there is a possibility of banning Christianity.

I heard from my father, Liu Sheng, that after several court discussions and several court discussions, the reception specifications for the visit of the Raksha Mission were finally determined.However, this is a special case, and it is not the same as France, Helan and other countries.

After confirming that the Rakshasa national ceremony is not five prostrations and three kowtows, he agreed to the standard of the dynasty's return visit and abided by the etiquette of the Rakshasa state to meet the tsar, the so-called do as the Romans do when they come to the country.

This matter was finally settled. Liu Yu was really afraid of being instigated by someone with a heart. In the end, the emperor couldn't stand the pressure of many Confucian societies and changed it again.

After all, with the current political correctness and the evaluation criteria of right and wrong, justice stands on the side of those Confucian scholars' slogans.If the "people" were really angry, the emperor would have to weigh it carefully. Nowadays, the style of organizing editorials and discussing politics is several times more prosperous than that in the late Ming Dynasty, and gradually there is a taste of coercing the world's judgments about right and wrong.

Up to now, the fight incident has not been dealt with, which has already explained the problem.
