Xinshun 1730

Chapter 113

While the court discussion was still in progress, Chen Zhen was called to a place where there was no one by several elders in Chang Hong Society.

Until he was called away, he was still enjoying the supreme pleasure that no one else had: to convince the barbarian-like generals and obey him with righteousness, and he even staged the story in the history books, pleading guilty.

He thought that he was called away by the big bosses in the society to praise him.

However, several bigwigs in the club scolded him fiercely.

"What did you tell Liu Yu?"

"Are you supposed to say those words? Is there any use in what you said? Childish words and rhetoric will ruin the face of my Chang Hong Society and the dignity of scholars all over the world!"

After scolding, Chen Zhen was at a loss and wondered, "Masters, what did I do wrong?"

Those well-known bigwigs in the club took out the transcripts, and after retelling the original words recorded by Liu Yu and the contents of the pretext, they asked sharply: "Did you say this?"

Chen Zhen was stunned, and then said: "I said it. But what I said didn't mean that at all. It was Liu Shouchang who misunderstood it. I said that since the Song Dynasty, most Confucian scholars have the attitude of women. But this is also true. It's not what I said, but what Mr. Xi Zhai said."

"Besides, I didn't say that Confucian scholars should go to the frontier fortress to practice, I just said..."

After explaining half a sentence, the rest of the explanation was rudely interrupted.

"enough!"

"idiot!"

"Do you know what you might bring when you say this?"

Chen Zhen is a firm-minded person, he would rather die than bend what he thinks is right.Hearing the reprimand from the elders of the club, although according to the etiquette, the juniors are not allowed to talk back when they are reprimanded, but they couldn't help it after all.

"Although what Liu Shouchang said is extreme, it may not be unreasonable. Confucian scholars in the Tang Dynasty used three-foot swords to cross the frontiers and write magnificent poems. As for earlier, Ban Dingyuan in the Han Dynasty, literature can make history, and martial arts can attack the Huns. Even later generations , Xin Jiaxuan, Chen Tongfu and others can all fight horses and hold swords, and write poems in combat."

"If our generation of Confucian scholars wants to get rid of Cheng Zhu's women's attitude, we should return to pre-Qin Confucianism! What Liu Shouchang said is not unreasonable. If our generation of Confucian scholars want to study, they must go to the frontier fortress to experience and educate... "

Just citing the scriptures was convenient, the elders of the club who had already been furious were furious, and cursed: "Idiot! Idiot!"

Adding two stupid sentences, Chen Zhen lowered his head, but refused to lean his neck forward, and said with a stiff neck: "Your Majesty broke the Raksha before, didn't you all join me in poetry, wish you could get drunk on the battlefield?"

"Nowadays the imperial court expands borders, and the barbarians are more obedient, so we should let them obey the teachings and respect the teachings, so that they can know virtue."

It's okay if you don't say this sentence, but when you say it, the bosses in the society even scolded: "Drinking drunk on the battlefield is not to do such a poor job."

"If you think that the soldiers can't be subdued, if you don't hold up your troops brazenly and fight with us on the border, you're lucky! For example, if you ask for great order, there will be great chaos. The barbarians submit to force. It would be a blessing not to take the initiative to attack us, if those kind of beasts want to educate them for great order, it will only lead to chaos! Don’t you even understand this truth?”

"The scholars of the world have studied hard for ten years. Is it because they want to go to the frontier to eat the sand? Everyone performs their duties, and we, scholars, should write articles with a strong culture. If you say so, you want to set up the scholars of the world. where?"

"Could it be that you, Mr. Chen, are the only true Confucian scholars in this world, and the rest are fake Confucian scholars? If you say such things, how will the scholars of the world treat me, Chang Hongshe? How many accusations will you bring to Chang Hongshe?"

Chen Zhen only felt sore in his heart, clenched his fists, and asked with all the righteousness in his heart: "We will use Chang Hong as the name of the club. The ancients said: The blood of Chang Hong is born in the blue, and the soul of Du Yu is born in the bird! It is necessary to be passionate Bi, can't you even bear the wind and sand in the frontier fortress?"

His voice was so loud that it already brought out a bit of resentment and anger, coupled with clenched fists and repeated questioning, it made those senior members of the club he respected even more angry.

I thought it would be just a few words of reprimand, but I didn't expect Chen Zhen to refute again and again, especially the sentence "A few days ago, I also wanted to get drunk on the battlefield", which was more like slapping everyone in the face.

Snapped!
A crisp slap was slapped on the face of Chen Zhen who was still stubborn, and the seniors in the academy scolded: "Are you the only one with passion?"

"If there is another Jiashen year, we will not shave our heads and bow our knees like those fake Confucians, and we will die and turn into jade!"

"According to what you said, we are all cowards? We are all hypocrites? You are the only one with blood?"

"Do you know how many people will hate me, Changhong Society, if you say it? Do you know how many scholars will hate me, Changhong Society?"

"Okay, since you have green blood, we are all fake Confucians, I'm afraid this Chang Hong Club won't be able to accommodate you anymore! Please find another job, I'm not worthy to discuss friendship with you, Mr. Chen!"

The slap of the literati was much weaker than that of Liu Yu, who was young and had killed people before.

But this slap stunned Chen Zhen directly.

Such a slap was ten times more painful than Liu Yu beating him that day.

The last sentence "This Chang Hong Club can't tolerate you anymore" made Chen Zhen feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his whole body was chilled, and his mind went blank.

It's as if someone hit the back of the head with a stone heavily, and it's also like falling into a white and cold fog and can't find it.

The hand that was clenched into a fist slowly loosened and covered the hot face.

Before he wanted to say something, the seniors he respected had already turned and left.

Feeling lost, Chen Zhen just felt that there was nowhere to go.He wandered back to his residence like a bereaved dog, and the thunderbolt he had carefully hidden was also taken away, and his clothes were scattered everywhere in the opened box.

He sat on the bed as if he had lost his soul, clutching his cheeks that were still hot and sore, for some reason, a mist appeared in front of his eyes, and hot tears fell down.

That day he was beaten by Liu Yu until he nearly vomited blood, and he never cried a word to Liu Yu. It wasn't until E Guogong came that Du Juan asked why the court was undefeated but defeated.
The situation of pleading guilty a few days ago was just like just now, but like a shooting star across the night sky, all the brilliance has dissipated, leaving only endless depression.

I was the only one left in the dormitory, covering my face with tears dripping down my face.

Sitting there restlessly for most of the day, it was dark, he was not hungry, and the lights were not turned on. For the first time in a whole day, he missed the class of the Imperial College.

In the next few days, the crisp applause still echoed in his ears, which made him feel uncomfortable about everything outside.

The members of the Changhong Club got together and fired him, and he covered his face.

The man who carried out the law found him and beat him on the back and buttocks with a wooden stick, but he didn't cry out of pain.After the beating, he still covered his face, as if the place where he was hit by the stick just now was his own face.

The partners and friends who used to form poems together alienated him, as if his body was covered in cesspit feces.

Everyone in Changhong Society gathered together again, drinking wine and composing poems, the poetry was high-pitched, Chen Zhen could only watch from a distance, and left in a daze.

The Imperial College did not expel him, but he seemed to be no longer a student of the Imperial College, no one from his former classmates talked to him, and he became a forgotten corner of the Imperial College.

Chang Hongshe issued a statement, which was disseminated in various academic societies in the capital.

The reason why Chen Zhen was expelled was because Chen Zhen was a treacherous villain, and he pretended to say shocking words in order to win fame.Chen Zhen's remarks have nothing to do with Chang Hongshe, and since then Chen Zhen has no connection with Chang Hongshe.

Clever words and tricks, pretending to be shocking, fighting for fame and reputation, is really a villain.

Little man.

until a few days later.

When Chen Zhen was sitting there stupidly, clutching his red and swollen cheeks that had already disappeared, Liu Yu, who had pleaded guilty many days ago, came in front of him.

This time, it was no longer an apology, but a word to Chen Zhen, who seemed to have lost his soul, in the fine clothes of the Xunwei.

"Brother Chen, I thought about it again. What you said that day didn't seem to make sense. Let me go."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and didn't take another half step, so he bid farewell.

Chen Zhen finally woke up from the stone statue covering his face, and hissed at Liu Yu's back: "No! I'm right! I'm right!"

However, Liu Yu's back didn't stop for half a step, and walked out of Chen Zhen's line of sight staggeringly, disappearing from sight.

…………

Liu Yu, who left the Imperial College, had to go to the Forbidden City in a hurry. As a guard, he had to be on duty for five consecutive days before he could rest for a while.

In the past few days, he has been learning the rules and needs to recite a lot of laws about Xunwei.If it was Xungui's eldest son, he would have to learn since he was a child, but he is not, so he needs to learn.

What you have to memorize every day are all kinds of terms.

If you are like Xunwei who often carries out military battles, you need to bring a knife.Those who are in the imperial office are not allowed to draw their swords unless they are dispatched by imperial edict.If it is pulled out by mistake, twist it.There are people standing side by side, and if they see that they are pulled out by mistake, they must all be caught.Those who do not immediately grasp will travel three thousand miles.If there are other orders for punishment and food in the battle, they will not sit.The rest of the people in the imperial palace must not draw their swords by mistake.If it is pulled out by mistake and others do not immediately catch it, Xunwei will be convicted...

Basically, there are such clauses. It is not an easy job to be an honorary guard in front of the palace.Liu Yu also finally understood why Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin would have such a scene of sand sculptures. He drew his sword without an order and was about to be hanged, but he didn't stop others from drawing his sword and was exiled for three thousand miles.

In addition, when to patrol at night, the patrol route, the manner in front of the emperor, the duties when going out on patrol... a lot of things, although it is impossible to encounter them immediately, they all need to be memorized.

There are also people who are responsible for guiding the drill, inspecting and asking questions, and the responsibilities are too heavy. If something goes wrong with Liu Yu, those in charge of training will also have to suffer.

The person in charge of each shift is either the son-in-law or Uncle Hou, or the elder guard of the prince's son-in-law. He does not have a high status in this group of people, but everyone respects him very much.

It has little to do with military merit, the main thing is that everyone knows that Liu Yu may become a great success in the future, and he can serve the emperor at his side.

Of course, just like their Duke's Mansion, with doors as the boundary, there are some places that an adult with a handle like him cannot enter.

The learning time given to him by the emperor was very short, and there was no need to consider loyalty. They were all heirs of princes, and there were families with hundreds of people who were buried with them even if there was a slight mistake behind them.

The only thing Liu Yu needs to grasp firmly is the demeanor when Xun Wei is his attendant.

The Rakshasa mission was coming, and the emperor named Liu Yu as the escort and guard at the reception at that time, and at the same time acted as an interpreter, rejecting the Catholic missionaries in the court.

Although they will also attend at that time, they will not be interpreters next to the emperor. This can also be regarded as putting pressure on the domestic Catholic missionaries: before, you monopolized Western learning and practical knowledge, and used it as a threat to preach, but now The court had another channel.Guochao only wants to learn practical knowledge, and has no interest in hell and heaven.
