Chapter 295: The Old Ram Guards the Tower
This old man is naturally the old prime minister Ram Shu who was invited back to the capital by the Son of Heaven from his hometown in Dunqiu, this old man is the Wu Emperor Dynasty, and he was the prime minister in the Chengde Dynasty, the Taikang Dynasty and the Yuan Zhao Dynasty are also prime ministers, veterans of the four dynasties, and prime ministers of the three dynasties.
He is a person from the same era as Haoran Gong Zhang Qu and Prime Minister Huan Chu.
Now that Huan Chu Huan Xiang has become ancient, Haoran Gong Zhang Qu has already left the capital, returned to Fengxiang's hometown to retire, and no longer enters the official office, in the entire court, this Mr. Ram has the highest seniority, a generation higher than Li Xin.
Li Xin was not too ostentatious in front of this old man, and after bowing his hand, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, senior, Li Xin is not a cautious person, and he is too lazy to care about these people, I only catch what should be caught and killed what should be killed." ”
As soon as Li Xin finished saying this, Xie Dai behind him had already taken Yu Linwei to forcibly disperse these scholars.
The old man ignored Li Xin, but glanced back at the law field on Xishi Street, the body on the law field had been carried away, but the blood stains on the ground had not dried, and it still exuded a thick bloody atmosphere.
The old man let out a long sigh.
"Originally, the old man had already sent a letter to Shi to return to his hometown, and he didn't want to ask about the affairs of the DPRK and China, His Majesty's three letters, and the old man also rejected them one by one, and then he heard that he was going to set off a big case in the capital, so the old man gave up his life to enter Beijing, wanting to contribute to the world's scholars."
As he spoke, the old man shook his head.
"I didn't expect it, I was still one step late, and the sharp point that came out of the world's scholars in ten years was killed by Mrs. Li with a knife."
The imperial court has a scientific examination every three years, generally speaking, if there is a difference of more than three subjects, it cannot be regarded as a generation, and the Jinshi who has been selected in this ten years has to work hard in the court for many years before it is possible to rank among the nine kings, and even take the stage to worship the prime minister.
Li Xin killed Yan Shouzhuo and others today, Zhongjinshi are all about the same age, they are the tips that emerged in those ten years, and they have worked hard to climb to the top of Wenchen, and they have huge influence in the court and the opposition, just like the old man said, these people are the sharp tips that emerged from the scholars.
"I can only say that this generation is top-notch, it's too unusual."
The Marquis of Jing'an smiled: "When Li Xin first entered the court, there were Haoran Gong, Huan Xiang, and Ram Xianggong in the court, all of whom were handsome among the people, Li Xin has always admired that after Haoran Gong's generation gradually withdrew from the court, the people who later became the master of Shangshutai became more and more unsuccessful. ”
Ram Shu shook his head and didn't say anything, he looked back at Li Xin and said, "After these people die today, how many more people will Taifu kill?" ”
"I don't know."
Li Xin said indifferently: "Li Xin is not a person who loves to kill, and I don't want to kill people if I can, but the old minister should also know what kind of crime Shen Kuan, Yan Shouchou and others have committed." ”
"They want to depose the Son of Heaven!"
Mrs. Li half-squinted her eyes and said, "The decision on this matter is not in my hands, how many people will be killed depends on when the one in the palace will lose his anger." ”
"Taifu Shao wants to coax the old man."
The old man stroked his beard and said in a muffled voice: "With Taifu's current influence, as long as he says a word, His Majesty will extinguish the idea of killing, and how many people he wants to kill is only in Taifu's thoughts." ”
Li Xin smiled.
"The old minister returned to Beijing this time, he should be in charge of Shangshutai, it is better to do this, I will transfer the authority of this red and painted Zhu to Shang Shutai, after the criminal department has reviewed the list, Shang Shutai wants to kill people, I will kill people again, Shang Shutai said let it go, I will release it immediately."
Ram Shu smiled bitterly: "Shang Shutai has done this kind of rebellious thing, and he has touched His Majesty's bottom line, how can Shang Shutai come forward to talk about this matter again?" Mrs. Li, there are enough dead people, just stop it. ”
"That's it."
Li Xin put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile: "When the Criminal Department examines the list, I will send the list to the old minister's mansion first. ”
Ram Shu still frowned and shook his head.
"There are some things that too Fu can do, but the old man can't do it, Shang Shutai has suffered a lot from this incident, and the trust that he has cultivated with the Son of Heaven for decades has been greatly damaged, and it is irretrievable for ten years, during this period, no matter what Shang Shutai does, he must do his duty, and he can't make any mistakes."
The old man sighed.
"Otherwise, the high-rise building of my Dajin scholar will be destroyed, and there will be no hope for anyone in the world who worships Shangshutai and works hard to study."
"The old man is old, and he doesn't have the ability to turn the tide like Mrs. Li, and this time he entered Beijing, he just wanted to do his best to keep the high platform of Shangshutai as much as possible, and leave some hope for future generations of scholars to rule the world."
Shen Kuan and others, after all, are the zaifu of Shangshutai, they want to abolish the emperor, and they fail, it will inevitably make the emperor wary of Shangshutai, and after the pro-government, he will definitely start to rectify Shangshutai, and even reform the official system, changing the situation set during the period of Emperor Wu and ruling the world with scholars.
The old man's words were sincere, but Li Xin was a little disapproving, he said with a smile: "The old minister doesn't need to think about it so much, this world needs to be taken care of by scholars after all, Qiu Ba like me, I am afraid that I will not even be able to collect the money if I throw it into the yamen, let alone the cultivation of your scholars." ”
Ram Shu shook his head.
"Taifu is too modest, although Taifu has no merit, but he is transparent and has clever means, even if he throws Taifu into the position of Shangshu's left servant, Taifu can probably do a good job."
Saying that, the old man glanced at Li Xin up and down, and said with emotion: "During the Chengde period, Huan Xiang told the old man about Mrs. Li, if I remember correctly, Mrs. Li was sent to the southwest as a military envoy. ”
"At that time, Taifu was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the old man thought that it would take twenty or thirty years to get to a high enough position to become a big man in the mouth of Huan Xiang, but I didn't expect that only a year later, Taifu would be named a marquis."
"It's only been more than ten years now, and Taifu is already a product of the dynasty, not only higher than me, an old man, but also half a level higher than Haoran Gong back then."
When Haoran Gong Zhang Qu was the prime minister in the early years of the court, the title on his body was the prince and young master, from the first product.
That year, Li Xin was sent to the southwest, and after returning to Beijing, Prime Minister Huan Chu did point him to two sentences, and when he heard this sentence, Li Xin also felt a little emotional.
At that time, Li Xin had just arrived in this world for a long time, and he didn't know anything about the political affairs of the court, and he relied on some cleverness to survive in the cracks.
Seeing that Li Xin was distracted, the old ram knew that what he said was useful, so he stepped back two parts and looked at Li Xin deeply.
"Mrs. Li, now that the butcher's knife is in your hand, the old man can't stop you, but the old man still wants to beg Mrs. Li for those innocent people."
The old man shook his head to the ground, and his voice was sincere.
"I implore Taifu to show mercy under the knife, and if you can not kill, you will leave a life, and the old decay will replace them, and thank you Taifu for his great kindness."
Li Xin hurriedly stepped forward and helped this old-timer up, and he also sighed slightly.
"Chang'an has always admired real scholars, and since the old minister said so, he should do it."
"I can not kill those who can not be killed, but when I kill the person, please don't stop the old minister."
