There is a saying that no matter how big an official you are in the capital, it is too small. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Hong Mingqi's main business of the six products is like mosquito meat at first glance, very inconspicuous, not to mention in other yamen, that is, in the criminal department Shangshu, Shilang, Langzhong, and Wailang can all suppress him, but if he arrives in the place, it is the existence of calling for wind and rain.

Compared with Lin Yanchao and Hong Mingqi, Hanlin Attendant and the head of the Criminal Department are both positive six grades.

In the order of the court, the Hanlin attendant is to be ranked before the head of the criminal department.

But in terms of real power, Hanlin is not as good as the head of the Criminal Department. Although the Hanlin attendants were noble, they did not care about anything except serving the emperor.

No matter what you say, the head of the Criminal Department is also the head of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, just like the officials at the department level of various ministries and departments of the Central Committee today, who have the right to act in charge of affairs.

After Hong Mingqi and Lin Yanchao got married, they were unwilling.

If he goes to arrest those students and prisoners by investigating the fact that he was being thrown feces on the street, he will inevitably be suspected of taking revenge for personal gain. Moreover, students and prisoners are all famous, if one is not cautious, others will control him, and he will go away.

Therefore, Hong Mingqi used his authority to pick up chicken feathers as an arrow, and fused this matter with the edict issued by the imperial court in the seventh year of Wanli to 'destroy the academy and prohibit lectures', so he pulled up the banner.

If you change other things, the officials will not be so serious, and it is not easy to offend the scholars, but it is forbidden to give lectures and not to speak or do things, this is an edict of the imperial court, and it is the meaning of Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant. If you don't do it well, but if you want to throw away the black yarn hat, you can still be cautious.

Moreover, Hong Mingqi also invited Liu Yiru, the waiter of the Criminal Department, to give an edict.

The officials below will never dare to argue in this matter, but will work hard.

The West Garden Elegance Collection of the Day.

Lu Wanjia and several scholars who had attacked Hong Ming's sedan chair were all present. The people who participated in the attack on the official sedan chair that day were worried that the government would investigate the matter, and most of them went out to hide from the news.

But these people still participated in the Yaji as if nothing had happened, and they were also young and frivolous, and they did not know the height of the sky, so they did not worry about attacking the court officials. Because the court has always been generous to scholars, they are a little paralyzed.

In addition to Lu Wanjia and a few others, the remaining dozens of people who came to participate in the West Garden Yaji did not participate in the attack on Hong Mingqi's sedan chair, but were interested in Yongjia's learning and came to listen to the lecture.

The elegant collection discusses the meaning of Yongjia's scriptures.

An old Confucian in his forties said there: "The four characters of the inner sage and the outer king are the sages' hearts, the two words of the inner sage of science, the two words of the outer king of the Legalist, the scholar of science only cultivates himself, and has no achievements in his work, and the Legalist is a lesson from the past." ”

"But Yongjia's learning is different, Lin Sanyuan made it clear at the feast, the inner sage is the outline, the outer king is the goal, and the outline is the teaching of the sage, so we learn the learning of Yongjia, which is the inner sage who also kneades science, and the outer king of the Legalist."

After the old man finished speaking, everyone nodded and said.

Mr. Yu Tong has a point.

That is, Mr. Yu Tong is a lecturer at Mingde College, and he has taught a lot of people.

Everyone discussed together, and during the banquet, there were people who presented the pastries, and two scholars in the corner took the pastries and put them in their mouths to chew.

These two scholars are not outsiders, they are the two down-and-out people Guo Zhengyu and Yu Ren.

"Shaojing, looking at you like this, I thought we were here to eat the food that came to eat."

Yu Yuren glanced at Guo Zhengyu, shook his head and said: "I'm just going to be down, I still don't have to worry about eating, if you don't want to pull me to listen to this Yongjia learning, I won't come." ”

Guo Zhengyu smiled and said, "Okay, even if I pull Shaojing and you to come together." ”

Yu Yuren shook his head and said: "Actually, I see that the scholars in this elegant collection do not really understand Yongjia's learning, and even Mr. Yu Tong, what he said is only superficial, and his knowledge is only superficial, and he is only a lecturer in the academy." ”

Guo Zhengyu said with a smile: "It's okay, even if you don't gain anything, you should come to make friends and make like-minded people." ”

"Isn't it a break in your way to make friends with these students?"

Guo Zhengyu said: "It's good to make friends as long as you have similar interests, what do you do when it comes to wealth and poverty?" If I were such a person, would Shaojing still treat me as a friend? ”

Yu Yuren smiled and said, "That's the same." ”

At this time, Lu Wanjia came to the front of the two people and saluted and said: "In Xia Lu Wanjia, he is the master of this place, and this is the first time for the two brothers!" ”

After Guo Zhengyu and Yu Yuren avoided the table and saluted, Guo Zhengyu said: "In Xia Guo Zhengyu, I want to learn from the merits, and I have heard the reputation of the Xiyuan Literary Society for a long time, so I am uninvited. ”

Lu Wanjia laughed when he heard this: "As long as it is like-minded, it is not uninvited, but welcomed, but I am only shallow in learning, that is, I will discuss it here, and I will listen to Brother Guo's high opinion for a while." ”

After speaking, Lu Wanjia saw that the two of them were thinly clothed and pale, and knew that the two of them were not living well, so he said a few words to the people behind him.

Soon two subordinates came with a plate of clothes and silver, and Lu Wanjia said: "Here is a winter coat, with five taels of silver, as a gift to meet below." ”

Guo Zhengyu hurriedly said: "It's already uneasy to disturb rashly, how dare you accept such a big gift from your brother." ”

Lu Wanjia smiled and said: "What's this, the gentleman has the friendship of wealth, and he hasn't asked the two brothers where to study?" ”

Guo Zhengyu was reluctant to reveal his identity, mainly because he was afraid of losing face as a scholar, but seeing that Lu Wanjia was so gracious, he was sorry for his friends if he continued to deceive, so he was ready to tell the truth.

And at this moment, a subordinate hurried to the garden and said to Lu Wanjia: "The master is not good, the official has come, saying that he is taking someone." ”

Lu Wanjia was shocked to know that it was an incident, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think about it, it was just a big deal, just spend a little more money.

Seeing that Yaji had stopped, the scholars were shocked, and Lu Wanjia first reassured: "Don't panic. ”

Then Lu Wanjia said to his subordinates: "You take my post, and immediately go to the county government to find Master Zhang, and Zhou Dian's help." ”

The subordinate answered, and was about to open the back door to go out, but the moment he opened the door, he was pushed to the ground.

"None of them are allowed to leave!"

At the back door, more than 20 officers and soldiers poured in with iron ropes, sticks, and cowhide ropes.

The leader was a catcher who shouted: "Don't ask, all the people present will be taken down by me." ”

The scholars were in an uproar and said, "What reason do you have to take me, what have we done?" ”

Lu Wanjia pressed his hand, and everyone stopped making noise.

Lu Wanjia said: "In Xia Lu Wanjia, this Xiyuan Literary Society is hosted by me, I can't wait for my colleagues to get together and study the scriptures, what are you doing here?" ”

The shop head said happily: "You are Lu Wanjia, you really have nowhere to find the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get it, that's right, we are taking you." ”

Lu Wanjia said: "I am friends with Master Zhang of the county government and Zhou Dianguan of the household, if you have no evidence to take me, it is best to weigh one or two." ”

A green-robed official behind the head of the shop said: "We are arrested by the order of the Criminal Department, not to mention the master, the warden, even if the magistrate comes, it is useless." If you mention the word evidence, Lu Wanjia masterminded the attack on the head of the Criminal Department, someone has already confessed, and he still wants to deny it? ”

Lu Wanjia knew that today's affairs were difficult to be good, so he arched his hand and said: "Okay, I'll go with you, just one person does things and one person is responsible for it, you take me to explain to Hong Mingqi, don't involve others." ”

After Lu Wanjia finished speaking, several other scholars involved in the incident said: "That's right, we also have a part in the attack on Officer Honggou, and we will go with Brother Lu." ”

"I lost the net bucket that day, I don't know what the surname Hong thinks tastes?"

A few people laughed as they spoke, not caring at all.

Unexpectedly, the green-robed official sneered and said: "The attack on the official sedan chair of the imperial court is just one thing, and the official has other things to ask you, so I will take them all." ”

After listening to the order, the officers and soldiers raised the cowhide rope and stepped forward to take the people.

"Wait," Lu Wanjia was shocked and angry to stop the movements of the officers and soldiers, and then said: "The others don't know about this, if you want to take it, just take me alone, what will they do?" ”

Other scholars also said: "I have a meritorious reputation, but you dare to be presumptuous?" ”

The old Confucian who had just lectured on the scriptures also stepped forward and said: "The old man is the lecturer of Mingde Academy, this is just a literary meeting to discuss the Yongjia scriptures, and the old man dares to guarantee that none of the people present are traitors." ”

The green-robed official sneered: "I really don't recruit myself, you are talking about Lang must be lecturing here, and the imperial court prohibits private lectures, don't you know?" Your name is Yaji, but it is actually borrowed from Yongjia's learning to speak and speak, and privately discuss major affairs in the court, according to the law, don't say go with me! ”

All the scholars were stunned, they were just studying the scriptures, and they were actually put on the big hat of giving lectures in private and talking about political affairs by these people.

Everyone said: "We specialize in the study of saints, and it is not a major event in the court. ”

"Yongjia's learning is the Song people's scriptures, what does it have to do with words and politics?"

The Qingpao official sneered: "The righteousness of the sage lies in self-cultivation and self-control, and the learning of Yongjia is the merit of words and deeds; Words and deeds, that is, words and politics, what is the difference. ”

The crowd was furious: "My lord, how can you be so strong-worded. ”

The green-robed official said disdainfully: "I'm too lazy to talk to you, if I want to argue, I will talk to the adults slowly in the prison." If you refuse to comply, don't blame me for being rude. ”

So the officers and soldiers couldn't help but say something, and they rushed up and punched and kicked these scholars.

The clothes were torn, the hair crown fell to the ground, and the captured scholars were tied up with ropes one by one.

Those who were disobedient and dared to resist directly greeted with sticks, and several scholars were beaten to the point that their heads were bleeding, and they shouted again and again: "Don't fight, don't fight." ”

In this scene, the Sven of the reader swept the floor.

Lu Wanjia saw that his friend was knocked to the ground, and said angrily: "What are you waiting for? In the past two hundred years, the country has been a good doctor, and the little officials dare to go wild, this adult, you are also a scholar, why bother to fight for the tiger? ”

The officials on the left and right were still beating the scholars, and the green-robed official said as if he were oblivious: "I am also acting on orders, if you are obedient, why should you suffer from this flesh and skin." ”

"If you are really at a loss, you will be released after questioning, so why worry?"

Lu Wanjia said with a sad and indignant face: "Okay, okay, this is the method of your criminal department to interrogate people, okay, let's go with you, please don't beat people again." ”

The green-robed official nodded and said, "Stop!" (To be continued.) )
