Lin Yanchao saw these two disciples like this, and he also knew that he had just spoken a little heavier. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

They are only fifteen or sixteen years old, how can they understand the heavy and dirty thoughts of court officials.

Scholars often think that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and they can appeal through public opinion, and as long as they can reach heaven to listen, the Son of Heaven will listen to the opinions of scholars.

However, in the officialdom under the centralized system, what determines the promotion or retention of officials is not from the forces below, but from the forces above. Therefore, Hong Mingqi dared to make trouble, not afraid of offending people, relying on Zhang Juzheng's words, and the court supported him.

This is the disadvantage of the official standard.

At this time, Tao Wangling fixed his mind and said: "But the teacher's current situation is not good. Now the government and the opposition, whether officials or scholars, all think that the teacher has a contribution to Yongjia's learning. ”

"If the imperial court really ordered the banning of Yongjia's learning, then Mr. Jinxi is a lesson for the teacher."

Lin Yanchao glanced at Tao Wangling, he was not an official, so he lacked experience in officialdom, but he still understood things.

Xu Huobo also said: "Yes, the teacher is inactive at the moment, and he may not be able to escape the involvement." Once the imperial court ordered the banning of Yongjia's learning, the people would suffer because they respected the teacher and were interested in Yongjia's learning. Then the blow to the prestige of the teacher is not small. ”

Tao Wangling and Xu Huobo are right, Yongjia's learning is related to Lin Yanchao's fame.

At present, Hong Mingqi took the opportunity to retaliate against the attack, and those who supported Yongjia's learning were all scholars. But among the readers who support Yongjia's learning, many are also supported by Lin Yanchao. If it really comes to this point, Lin Yanchao will lose the support of scholars, and even his reputation will be damaged, so that he will be dismissed.

Lin Yanchao said to the two disciples: "You have to say, why don't you understand as a teacher, but the time has not yet come, don't act rashly." ”

Tao Wangling and Xu Huobo were slightly disappointed when they saw Lin Yanchao being so serious.

Xu Huobo wept and said: "Teacher, hundreds of scholars were arrested and imprisoned by the Criminal Department for supporting Yongjia's learning, how can we be indifferent. ”

After speaking, Xu Huobo bowed to Lin Yanchao and left.

Tao Wangling was silent for a moment, and then said to Lin Yanchao: "Teacher, the Tao is not good, I would rather die!" ”

After Tao Wangling finished speaking, he also left.

Lin Yanchao looked at the two disciples with such an angry look, and also sighed, especially Tao Wangling's sentence, if the Tao is not good, I would rather die.

When Confucius traveled around the world, but there was no way, he couldn't help but sigh to his disciples.

A gentleman is also a gentleman, and he does what he is right. The way is not good, it is known.

Being an official is to do morality, but my morality cannot be practiced in the world, and I already know this. From this sentence, it can be seen that Confucius was helpless and promoted his ideas all his life, but he could not be accepted by the world.

Now, isn't Yongjia's learning also Lin Yanchao's morality?

If Yongjia's learning is banned by the imperial court, it is equivalent to Lin Yanchao's political ideas being denied, then Lin Yanchao can only learn from Confucius in this life, lecture among the people, and cannot promote his ideas politically.

As for Tao Wangling, he said even more resolutely, if the Tao is not good, I would rather die.

If it is a political proposition, it cannot be implemented, and it is better to die.

This is the scholar's obsession, and it is also the backbone of Confucianism, just like the mountain chief back then, who would rather commit suicide than compromise.

Lin Yanchao was touched by Tao Wangling's words, and couldn't help but think of the past.

He is concentrating on his career smoothly and steadily, and with his relationship with the emperor and Shen Shixing, it is only a matter of time before he enters the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future.

Promoting doctrine and political ideas is the path that only ancient and modern sages have taken.

Can the two be combined into one without conflicting with each other?

At this moment, Beijing Guozijian.

One was a doctor of Guozixue, and two went straight to the prison cell, followed by three people dressed like officials.

In the past, the prison hall was very lively, but today it is quietly empty.

"This is the No. B prison house, and the prisoner Qu Hengjiang lives here." The doctor said to an officer.

The official nodded and said, "It's okay, tell him to come out!" ”

The doctor nodded, and a man in his thirties below said directly: "Guozi School Supervisor Qu Hengjiang, Lu Mingyi, Zhao He, Song Duan, Zhang Ming, Gao He is here?" ”

The prison cell replied, "Yes." ”

"Doctor, please come out and speak."

"Yes."

While waiting, the officials saw that many prisoners were looking through the doors and windows of the prison cells.

In a moment, Qu Hengjiang and several other prisoners were already standing outside the prison building.

The doctor said to the officer, "They are the same as the other twenty-six prisoners who are in other prisons, not here. ”

The clerk nodded and said, "Okay, they should come with me first!" ”

It was as if it were taken for granted.

"Wait, why am I going with you?" Qu Hengjiang asked.

The straight speaker on the side raised his face and said: "Qu Hengjiang, you know what you did wrong, follow this official and don't lose my Beiyong's face." ”

Qu Hengjiang looked up to the sky and laughed: "What if I don't want to? ”

Zhi said angrily: "Qu Hengjiang, what kind of attitude do you have? Is there anyone who talks to Mr. like that? ”

Qu Hengjiang said: "This gentleman, I don't see you teaching us to read and be a man on weekdays, and now this official is coming to arrest us, you just ask about it, let the official send me away, when did my country's sub-prison become a subordinate of the Criminal Department?" ”

said it well, in the prison on the side, they all applauded Qu Hengjiang.

This straight speaker is ashamed and can't answer.

The doctor on the side said: "Qu Hengjiang, I know that you have grievances, but the criminal department just asked him to interrogate, don't worry too much." ”

Qu Hengjiang sneered: "Question? In the past few days, more than 300 scholars in the capital have been imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, which is also an interrogation. ”

The official shouted: "Qu Hengjiang, don't spread rumors, we have already released most of these hundreds of scholars yesterday, and the rest such as Lu Wanjia and the like are really guilty, if you are presumptuous, don't blame the official for being unkind?" ”

"Presumptuous?" Qu Hengjiang straightened his face and shouted, "Who is presumptuous? Who has made the chickens and dogs in the capital restless recently, and the readers are complaining? ”

"You want to arrest people and take people, and you don't see what kind of place this is! This is Guozijian! It's the Son of Heaven! The imperial court respects Confucianism, etiquette and music, and is a place of Xuande! Who allowed you minions of the Criminal Department to come here and arrest people! ”

Qu Hengjiang said sharply.

At the end of the four days, as soon as the doors of the prison were opened, hundreds of prisoners rushed out, and the doctor spoke directly and the officials of the criminal department surrounded them.

"If you want to take men, take us with you!"

"Yes, we've all had our own offenses."

Countless prisoners gathered around and scolded at them.

The official of the Criminal Department was so frightened that his legs trembled, and his face was pale and trembled: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, why do you people want to rebel?" ”

The officials of the Criminal Department wanted to say in their hearts, it's over, it's a big deal! (To be continued.) )
