Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 283 The Emperor Is Sick Again

Both Qufu County and Shandong Province's chief envoys came to the official document memorial, which said something mysterious, such as the Holy Gate being humiliated, the country will not be the country, etc...

The emperor just threw the impeachment memorial on the dragon case aside, sneered, and said to Xia Shouzhong: "After reading these memorials, I thought my dynasty was about to perish!"

Ha ha……

Xia Shouzhong said with a smile: "These scholars like to exaggerate. Why should the emperor be angry about this? It's not worth it if the dragon's body is ruined."

"How can I be angry because of this? I am angry with Jia Cong, a woman who is benevolent. What did he do to save Xia Jiang? If I really want to save face, how could I send Xia Jiang to Shandong at his request?"

Xia Shouzhong couldn't answer the emperor's words, so he could only laugh a few times, and followed the emperor to the outside of the hall.

"By the way, did the emperor say what to do with the square seal?"

Xia Shouzhong's expression became complicated, and he replied dumbfoundingly: "The seal is now in the hands of Princess Chun, the sage said, let Princess Chun play with it."

uh~
Now the emperor's expression became complicated, even if the seal was "fake", it couldn't be thrown as a toy for children.

He thought for a while, and said: "You go to the Dragon Head Palace and put away that seal..."

"My lord, this old slave once persuaded the saint. The saint said that since it is fake, then don't take it too seriously, just like the piece of jade in Rongguo Mansion. The more you don't take it seriously, the less serious it is."

If Master Xi knew what Master Saint said, he would definitely take Old Saint to have a drink——confidant!

Back then, Mrs. Wang and the old lady were in a daze, and there was a scene of being born with jade, which shocked him into a cold sweat.

If he hadn't secretly sent someone to spread the news to the whole city, maybe Baoyu would have "died of a serious illness" long ago.

The emperor has also come to think about it now, the father is worthy of being the father, and he is still several floors above him when it comes to playing with people's hearts.

The spring is late, and the day of recovery of all things comes later this year.

The emperor took a leisurely stroll, originally wanting to visit the yamen of the six ministries and five temples in the imperial city, but after thinking about the piles of impeachment memorials on his desk, he finally stopped at the gate of the palace city.

Forget it, if he goes to the imperial city, he will be stopped by the ministers and complained about.

Just as the emperor was about to return to the Palace of Qinzheng, a figure suddenly appeared outside the palace gate.He immediately avoided the palace gate and walked to the northeast of the palace city.

"Go, go, you'll be stuck here if you're late."

Xia Shouzhong only glanced outside the palace gate, and immediately followed the emperor's footsteps.

A large group of people, large and small, from the Ministry of Rites, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Sixth Division, the Imperial College, etc., came to negotiate with the imperial guards at the gate of the palace.

Even at this moment, Xia Shouzhong could tell the identities of several people from their voices. They were all hard-headed, who dared to grab the emperor's sleeve and spray them in Fengtian Palace.

Before reaching the Dragon Head Palace in the northeast of Miyagi, the emperor couldn't help but support his forehead.

Are these people crazy?He didn't even let his father off!
Xia Shouzhong hid outside the gate of the ceremony and took a peek, then turned around and smiled wryly: "My lord, it's Yan Shenggong and several Confucian scholars in Beijing."

"There is no way to stay in this palace. You go to pass the decree and let Hong'er supervise the country. I am sick and need to go to the palace outside the city to recuperate."

Come again?

Xia Shouzhong had no choice but to remind: "Your Majesty, it's okay for you to hide all the time. I can't resist the spittle of those people. You have to make up your mind early on about Qufu."

The emperor walked towards the harem without looking back, and threw a sentence to Xia Shouzhong: "What's the idea? Jia Cong has set up the stage, so let him sing well. Send an order to the governor's mansion, and order three thousand imperial troops to hurry up." Go south and follow Jia Cong's instructions. I still don't believe it, his Kong family is as white as a piece of paper, without ink at all. Let Jia Cong investigate carefully, kill as soon as possible, if there is trouble, I... there is Jia Enhou Carry on, afraid of a bird!"

……

The emperor cursed all the curse words, so Xia Shouzhong naturally didn't dare to delay.

He drafted an imperial decree, stamped it with a big seal, and quickly sent it to the Governor's Mansion.

The British Duke Zhang Yue, who was sitting in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, didn't say that the imperial decree was not in compliance with the rules of the cabinet. Rush to Shandong.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the troops drawn from the Shenwu Battalion were precisely Liu Xianglian's department.

Liu Xianglian, who had just learned the result of the proposed marriage from Prince Zhongshun, was sitting in the room on duty, thinking hard about how to impress Jia She, Marquis of Rongguo, and Jia Cong who was far away in Shandong. The team rushed to Qufu, Shandong.

da da da da...

The imperial decree said to rush there, and Liu Xianglian was more impatient than anyone else.

Only five days later, three thousand cavalry arrived at the gate of Qufu County.

After receiving the news, Jia Cong changed into an official uniform, and accompanied by Jia Shishi, went to the gate of the city to meet the emperor's oral order.

This is really an oral order, because there is no way to write it into the imperial decree.

The servant who was about to be torn apart whispered the emperor's oral order, and Jia Cong asked people to settle the imperial army to rest for a while, and then returned to the inn under his contract with a smile.

Sure enough, the emperor was tired of the Kong family's successive ignorant and murderous verbal orders, which put him in a good mood.

It was the last sentence, let his father take care of the accident, which made Jia Cong dumbfounded.

He hasn't done any cheating things yet.

"My lord, what Mr. Qingteng said is right. The Yanshenggong Mansion can fall, but the Confucian family can't. The Confucian school can't stay, but the Confucian school must be kept. There are still a large number of Confucian scholars who care about the country and the people. Shizi, after all, the world is not yet ready to leave Confucianism, at least not yet."

Lu Xiaozu was recruited by Xu Jin and sent to assist Jia Cong in dealing with Qufu.

When he learned about Qufu from Xu Jin, he almost fainted from fright.He is just a small household doctor, and he really doesn't want to get involved in such an earth-shattering event.

terrible!

Passing on the jade seal of the country, privately in the sea, and involving Yan Shenggong's mansion and Zhen's family, any one of them can make his bones disappear.

It's a pity that he hesitated at that time, and didn't poke his eyes blind or deaf his ears on the spot, so he came to Qufu County tremblingly.

After two days of busy work, Lu Xiaozu was surprised to find that the Yanshenggong Mansion, which he respected as a god, was the same thing, and it was not even as clean as his small house.

At least he, Lu Xiaozu, didn't eat the flesh and blood of the common people, and he didn't drive the White Lotus Sect bandits, Japanese pirates, and bandits and thieves in the mountains to burn, kill and loot in Shandong.

In the heavily guarded inn, Lu Xiaozu looked at the dirty things done by Yan Shenggong's mansion on the desk, and almost cursed angrily.

If Confucius knew that his descendants had done so many unspeakable evils, he would have swung his fist and hammered them to death one by one in front of the Confucius Temple.

Jia Cong couldn't bear to look at the pleadings and evidence he had collected. Now he could hear the wailing of the souls who died tragically under the knives of the bandits and Japanese pirates. Made a mistake all over again.

In the 38th year of Zhaowu, there was a riot in Qingzhou;

In addition to the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in Qufu, behind every tragedy, there is the shadow of Yanshenggong Mansion.

"Lord Lu, don't worry, I know the seriousness."

The teacher is right, the Confucian school is the Confucian school, the Confucian school is the Confucian school; the Yanshenggong mansion is the Yanshenggong mansion, and the Confucian family is the Confucian family.

Although he is very angry, the court needs to use Confucianism to maintain the rule of the country.Moreover, the imperial court had to establish a brand new Confucian family to maintain the sanctity of Confucianism.

Lu Xiaozu was afraid that Jia Cong would slaughter the Confucius family in Qufu in a fit of anger, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Jia Cong's response.

Jia Cong was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Is there any news from Nankong?"

"Master Quzhou doesn't want to go north, they say... say..."

Lu Xiaozu hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "Kong Shangsen, the patriarch of the Kong family in Quzhou, said that he was from the southern Kong family, and had nothing to do with the northern Kong as early as when the Tartars entered the Central Plains. Whether the Qufu Kong family lived or died, he Nan Kong doesn’t care at all. If it’s about teaching and educating people, he, Nan Kong, will help him with all his might. For other things, Nan Kong can’t help.”

"This Nan Kong is tough, it's a pity..."

People don't want it, and Jia Cong can't force people from Nankong to go north to take over the mess in Qufu.

However, what Kong Shangsen said gave Jia Cong a good idea. Why did Xu Jin want Jia Cong to distinguish between Confucianism and Confucianism, and to distinguish Qufu Confucianism? The man who is indispensable to rule.

In the final analysis, it is the issue of education promotion. If this is the case, then it is time to propose a plan for educational reform.

The implementation of compulsory education is definitely not feasible given the current financial situation of the country. Teachers alone cannot be popularized even at the state level.

We can only carry out elite education first, but this is not something that a person like him who has no fame as a scholar can do.

By the way, Bei Kong is not without people of high moral character. Kong Xiang'an, the priest of the sincere teacher and the famous scholar, once mentioned in his writings that the knowledge should not be allowed to be monopolized by the noble family, and a new family should not be born.

This is an admirable old man, let him take over the Kong family...

"Lord Lu, what do you think of Mr. Huai Li?"

what?
"Mr. Huai Li? Your Excellency intends to push Mr. Huai Li to the front stage? The lower officials thought that Your Excellency planned to let Kong Xianglian take over the Kong family."

Lu Xiaozu thought for a while and replied: "Mr. Huai Li is indeed more suitable than Kong Xianglian. He has a higher seniority, a great reputation, good knowledge, and noble morals."

Jia Cong nodded. The direct branch of the Kong family is really difficult to explain in words, but the common branch is amazingly talented, and even produced a number of Confucian scholars with good knowledge and good character.

He didn't say whether he would push Kong Xiang'an to the front desk, but only asked Lu Xiaozu to speed up sorting out the files about Yansheng Gong's mansion, after all, the day of the trial was coming.

……

Ever since the bandits of the White Lotus Sect wreaked havoc on Shandong, Qufu County and even Yanzhou Prefecture hadn't been this lively for a long time.

Since mid-March, countless Confucian scholars and officials from Shandong, Henan, Nanzhili, and Gyeonggi have come, and the inns in Qufu County, large and small, have been crowded with scholars in Confucian shirts.

In the small towns and villages around the county seat, there are also many scholars renting them, which can be regarded as adding a lot of income to the people.

Jia Cong ordered half of the imperial army to patrol the territory of Qufu every day, and at the same time sent someone to pick up the teacher Xu Jin.

Originally, he disapproved of his teacher's involvement in the case, but compared to Liuyuan Wenkui's Mr. Qingteng, he always had a feeling of being played bad when he dealt with scholars all over the city.

When he welcomed the teacher into the door, the whole mind was still echoing "Hua Zheye".

Xu Jin rubbed the little apprentice's head, and laughed dumbfoundedly: "You, you, when dealing with those people, you should put on the posture of a 'rough martial artist' and talk about the saint's classics with subtle words and righteousness. Do you have that ability?"

Jia Cong smiled wryly: "Students don't want to either, but all of these great Confucian scholars talk like jokes, and students must not lose their timidity. Wouldn't it be degrading your reputation as a teacher."

Snapped!
After being hit on the head, Jia Cong felt very kind.

Xu Jin said with a smile: "What's the name of being a teacher? In front of them, you are the imperial envoy of the imperial court, not the apprentice of the teacher. They are trying to suppress your momentum so that the court will severely punish Xia Jiang, and even send you to the court. This will burn your body and hit His Majesty in the face."

After teaching his apprentices for a while, Xu Jin turned his attention to Lu Xiaozu who was bowing and saluting.

"Lord Lu, where are Chen Baoliang and Song Zhaolin staying? How are the county government's preparations going?"

Lv Xiaozu replied: "I would like to report to the imperial envoy that Shandong's chief envoy, the inspector for punishment, the imperial censor, and the seven Confucian scholars have all arrived in Qufu County. At the residence of Mr. Huai Li, the sacrificial officer of the former teacher."

Xu Jin frowned, and sneered after a while: "It's ridiculous, there is already a bias before the trial, so how do the people view the justice of the court?"

Lu Xiaozu quickly explained: "My lord, the presiding officer of Shandong Province, Mr. Chen, and the inspector, Mr. Song, are temporarily staying at the inn. The officers of the chief envoy are staying at the mansion of Yansheng Gong. The seven great Confucian scholars, Mr. Ying Huaili So please, go to his house to stay temporarily."

Jia Cong said in Xu Jin's ear: "Teacher, Mr. Huai Li is still trustworthy. If Mr. Huai Li hadn't stopped the people from Yansheng Gong's mansion earlier, Xia Jiang might have been burned to death in front of the Confucius Temple."

Xu Jin nodded: "Mr. Huai Li is naturally trustworthy. He has high moral character. If there are still clean people in the Confucian family in Qufu, he must be the old man. Let's go, and you will visit Mr. Huai Li and a few great Confucians as your teacher. .”

With Xu Jin standing in front, Jia Cong immediately felt a lot easier.For two days, Xu Jin visited many sages and scholars in the city, which opened Jia Cong's eyes.

If the six-yuan Wenkui went down to earth like a star of Wenqu, he used the classics of sages to knock a group of old men into a dizzy state. Not only did he doubt the one-sided words that Yan Shenggong's mansion said before, but he was also dragged into the imperial court by Xu Jin. carriage.

What is the most lacking in the education reform mentioned by the little apprentice before?It's not money, it's talent!
Qufu County gathered a large number of Confucian experts because of Xiajiang's excavation of Konglin, and Xu Jin felt that he was at a loss if he didn't recruit a group of people to join the gang.

Is the trial important?important.

But in Xu Jin's eyes, no matter how hard the case is tried, it can't be overthrown.Only the education reform that his little apprentice has been thinking about is what can interest him.

dong dong dong...

"Mighty~"

The drums sounded, and the imperial guards who replaced the yamen were lined up on both sides holding whistle sticks, and two presiding judges who looked majestic and dignified sat under the plaque hanging high in the mirror.

Jia Cong and Kong Xiangan sat down as deputy judges, and looked coldly at the open gate of the county government office, which was already crowded with scholars in Confucian shirts.

Kong Xiang'an didn't seem to care about the outcome of the case at all, but instead turned his gaze to Jia Cong and said in a low voice, "It's settled, after the trial of the case, you will have your teacher give a few lectures in my academy..."
