I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 53: Boxing is afraid of young people, and the Yushitai fights each other

Since ancient times, literati have been prone to sadness.

Shi Jie's sudden death caused many scholar-officials and scholars to express their condolences.

Ouyang Xiu personally wrote his epitaph.

The great scholars Sun Fu and Hu Yuan lectured on "Cu Lai Ji" for seven consecutive days.

Students from Taishan Academy carved stone statues for him and placed them at the foot of Mount Tai.

Du Yan, Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Cai Xiang, Sun Fu and others wrote poems and essays to commemorate him.

……

A few days later, just when the sad atmosphere of Shi Jie's death was about to disappear in Bianjing City.

An explosive news came.

The officials responsible for handling Kong Zhiwen's rebellion reported to the court.

In Kong Zhiwen's home, a letter written by his teacher Shi Jie to Kong Zhiwen was found.

Among them, there are also some poems and essays written by Sun Fu directly talked about by the Imperial College.

The letter stated: Shi Jie faked his death, but in fact he had joined the Khitan to plot an army, and Fu Bi was acting as an insider.

This piece of news can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone.

It made the whole court tremble.

Shi Jie and Fu Bi were already suspected of treason.

Now it is confirmed that Shi Jie's student Kong Zhiwen is treason, and letters from both sides have been found. How can we not make people suspicious.

Zhao Zhen immediately ordered Jingdong to imprison Lu Jujian to thoroughly investigate the case.

Shi Jie's family members were also detained and imprisoned.

……

at the same time.

Some people who mourned Shi Jie panicked.

Several timid officials and scholars even secretly burned the "Cu Lai Collection".

Du Yan, Ouyang Xiu, Su Liang and others naturally did not believe in Shi Jie's rebellion.

How could a weak teacher, who was full of Confucian thoughts, rebel?

And this time.

Four Taiwanese admonishers, Wang Gongchen, Liu Shi, Li Ding, and Qian Mingyi, took action.

The four of them seemed to have reached an agreement.

One person impeached the Imperial College directly to Sun Fu, saying that he and Shi Jie were both mentors and friends, and had correspondence with the rebel Kong Zhiwen, so he should be suspended immediately and investigated.

One person impeached Fu Bi, saying that Fu Bi was suspected of treason and should be immediately dismissed from his post as the pacifier of the East and West Roads in Beijing and allowed to return to Beijing to await trial.

One person impeached Fan Zhongyan, saying that Fan Zhongyan had good relations with Fu Bi and must have known about it. He should also be removed from his post as the pacifier of the Fourth Road in Shaanxi Province and ordered to return to Beijing to prove his innocence.

Another person impeached all the officials who mourned Shi Jie, believing that these officials were suspected of colluding with Shi Jie and attempting to rebel, and should be focused on investigation.

……

The fourth impeachment was equivalent to the impeachment of nearly [-]% of the officials in Beijing.

Although Zhao Zhen was suspicious.

But he also knew that it was inappropriate to send two senior border officials back to Beijing for trial based on just one letter.

After reading these four impeachment memorials, he only issued one order, instructing the Imperial College to tell Sun Fu to be dismissed from office and temporarily stay at home.

Sun Fu had a close friendship with Shi Jie, and also had contacts with Kong Zhiwen, so we must investigate.

After Ouyang Xiu learned about the impeachment content of Wang Gongchen and others, he went straight to Chui Gong Hall.

He said that with his life guaranteed, Shi Jie and Fu Bi would never rebel!

In addition, Ouyang Xiu also believed that the chief official at the place where the incident occurred was a disciple of Xia Song, and Xia Song was at odds with Shi Jie, so Xia Song must have framed the incident.

Zhao Zhen didn't say much to him at all.

He was sent away with the sentence "We will discuss it after the results of the trial come out."

The next day.

As soon as Su Liang arrived at the Yushitai, he heard something that made him very uncomfortable.

last night.

The great scholar Sun Fu hanged himself at home and begged to die, hoping to prove his innocence with his life.

Fortunately, his family found him in time and stopped him, saving his life.

Great Confucian scholars like Sun Fu were role models for others and valued reputation more than life.

On weekdays, he is cautious in his words and deeds, and no one can find anything wrong with him.

How can you allow others to slander you like this!Su Liang took a long breath.

This account was settled on Wang Gongchen, Liu Shi, Qian Mingyi, and Li Ding.

If these four people are not driven out of the stage to remonstrate, I am afraid that the court will be in trouble all day long.

at this time.

Suddenly, the voice of Jian Yuan right, Qian Mingyi, came from the courtyard.

"Brother Li, if Sun Fu really wanted to hang himself last night, it would be easier for him. As Shi Jie's best friend, there must be something wrong with him!"

Qian Mingyi stood under a locust tree and said excitedly.

"Yes, this time, I'm afraid many people will be demoted!" Li Ding's face was also full of smiles.

The two have no contact with Shi Jiesu.

Most officials who mourned Shi Jie were a stumbling block in their official careers.

Seeing that Shi Jie had implicated many people, the two of them were naturally happy.

When Su Liang heard this, his face turned pale and he strode out.

Zhou Yuan, who was on the side, saw Su Liang clenching his fists and quickly followed him.

"You two, before the result is determined, you'd better have some moral integrity, otherwise you will suffer retribution!" Su Liang said coldly.

Qian Mingyi looked at Su Liang with disdain.

"Su Liang, I'm admonishing you here, but you're not qualified to make any comments. Do you think I don't know what your wishful thinking is, and you'll rise to the top just by fawning over Bao Zheng and Ouyang Xiu? I'm telling you, with your character, you won't be able to succeed in the future. I’m still suffering from you!”

In the eyes of villains, everyone in the world is villain.

Su Liang didn't talk back.

He strode up to Qian Mingyi and suddenly smiled.

Just when Qian Mingyi didn't know what Su Liang was going to do, Su Liang suddenly punched Qian Mingyi in the face.

"boom!"

Before the latter could recover, Su Liang punched him again.

"boom!"

This punch directly caused Qian Mingyi's mouth to bleed, and the latter sat down on the ground.

Zhou Yuan, who was not far away, was stunned.

"Su... Su Liang... how dare you..." Li Ding, the supervisory censor on the side, had not finished speaking when Su Liang kicked Li Ding in the stomach.

"You're not a good thing either!"

Then, Su Liang kicked several times again.

He had long wanted to beat them both up.

Li Ding covered his head and lay on the ground, not daring to move.

Qian Mingyi muttered: I... I must ask the station director to expel you!
When Su Liang saw that there was no one else around except Zhou Yuan, he kicked Qian Mingyi hard again.

While kicking, he cursed: "How can you, dogs, rats, rats, and worms be the same remonstrators as me?"

boom! boom! boom!
Su Liang kicked them several times again, causing the two of them to hold their heads and dare not speak at all.

not far away.

Zhou Yuan was dumbfounded and murmured: "Jing Ming, what a true character!"

After Su Liang finished the fight, he looked at Zhou Yuan and asked with a smile: "Would you like to have some kicks too?"

Zhou Yuan quickly shook his head.

Beating an official in the government office, even his own superior, was a serious crime.

Su Liang felt no pressure.

He bent down and wiped a handful of dirt on his face.

Then he took off his boots and made several more shoe prints on his clothes.

Then, he bit his lip hard again, and a faint trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Su Liang said to Zhou Yuan: "Brother Zixiong, you are a witness. They kicked me these few times, and they also hit me on the face."

Zhou Yuan was stunned and understood instantly.

He turned around and took two steps back, then turned back and said with a surprised look on his face: "Three of you, you are actually fighting each other here. How can you behave like this? How can you behave like this?"

When Qian Mingyi and Li Ding heard the word "fight each other", they were so angry that they almost fainted.

They are good at dealing with the kind of upright and noble scholar-bureaucrats.

When they met a gangster like Su Liang who came out of the blue, they simply met their nemesis.
