Lin Jue sighed in his heart, he knew that Lu Zhongtian's rebuttal was powerful. He is speaking of the most basic knowledge that has been followed by all people since time immemorial. This perception is deep-rooted. Since ancient times, everyone has believed that although heaven and earth cannot speak, he will express his anger and joy in his way. Disasters and auspicious fortunes do not happen in a vacuum, but are the answers that people get by acting in accordance with the way of heaven or going against the sky. The reverence for heaven and earth is rooted in people's hearts, and now some people jump out and say that heaven is not fearful, which is simply to subvert everything, and naturally does not resonate, but will arouse anger.

What's even more thief is that Lu Zhongtian's rebuttal is very skillful. In fact, he didn't bring the topic to the same level as what Fang Dunru meant. What Fang Dunru means is that it makes no sense for someone to put all kinds of far-fetched things on the matter of changing the law. That's why he said that heaven and earth have their own way, and that they are not transferred by human affairs, which proves that those droughts, floods, landslides, and earth cracks have no connection with the new law. But what Lu Zhongtian said was not a change, he grabbed the so-called ignorance of heaven and earth in Fang Dunru's words to refute it, and then took out the big hat of the Heavenly Grant of Monarchy and stuck it on Fang Dunru's head. He elevated Fang Dunru's remarks to the level of shaking the emperor's rule, as if saying that the emperor's royal power has nothing to do with God's grant. All of a sudden, the whole situation was completely controlled in his own hands, and there was no possibility of reversing it at all.

"What Lu Xiang said is extremely true, Fang Dunru calls himself a great Confucian of this dynasty in vain, how can he have such a crooked theory in his head? Where did he read his book? The world's scholars are afraid that they will be extremely indignant, and they have never found out that this person is a fake Confucian. ”

"Respecting the heavens and the ancestors is the foundation of my China. The sage once said: All things are from heaven, and people are from their ancestors. The sacrifice of the suburbs is also, and the big newspaper is also the beginning, so it is worthy of God. The sky is like a saint, and the suburbs are tomorrow. That's the truth. ”

"Yes, the sage also said: There is nothing greater than filial piety, filial piety is greater than a strict father, and a strict father is greater than matching heaven." The king respects his test, wants to match the sky, the meaning of the test, wants to respect the ancestors, and pushes it up, so he reaches the ancestors. Those who have the world in the past generations have all matched the heavens with their ancestors. The ancestors were born by feeling the gods of the heavens, and the ancestors were matched with the ancestors when they sacrificed to the heavens. Those who come from the outside, there is no master. This Fang Dunru actually said that the sky is not fearful, and the ancestors are not lawful, isn't this the words of no heaven, no ancestors, no kings and no fathers? It is inconceivable that such a person can still mingle in the court and be entrusted with important tasks. I'm ashamed to be in company. ”

"Exactly, exactly. Fang Dunru must be severely punished, how can such a hypocrite who deceives the world and steals his name and is full of rebellious words stand on the court? Absolutely not! ”、

“……”

“……”

The entire court was suddenly excited after Lu Zhongtian's rebuttal, and all the officials quoted scriptures to refute Fang Dunru's remarks. Some even gritted their teeth and stomped their feet as if they were mourning, pointing at Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu and scolding bitterly.

Lin Jue frowned and looked at Fang Dunru, Fang Dunru knelt there with his head bowed and expressionless, as if he turned a deaf ear to these accusations, but the constantly twitching muscles behind his ears exposed his heart, he was enduring great inner anger and was experiencing great suffering. Lin Jue wanted to come out and help him say something, but at this time, Lin Jue found that he had nothing powerful to say to save the situation. wanted to help but couldn't, Lin Jue's heart was also tightened and painful.

Fang Dunru knelt there quietly, enduring everyone's accusations, and there was an indescribable helplessness and sigh in his heart. He just wanted to do something, and the original intention of this thing was to do it for the prosperity of the Great Zhou world. Are you wrong? That's exactly what I think. I really thought through these questions. Once upon a time, I was the same as these people in the hall, and I thought about problems from the same angle as them. But when I figured it out, it suddenly dawned on me. They should be able to understand the three deficiencies they said, why did they explain it so clearly, and they didn't understand it yet? It's really sad.

However, Fang Dunru still held out hope, he believed that the person sitting on the throne would understand his painstaking efforts and would understand what he was saying. He will not choose to ignore his own justification in order to attack himself like these people in the hall. He believes that the emperor will definitely support him as before. Just like not long ago, the emperor would rather issue an edict to protect himself, this time the emperor will still give himself strong support. This is also the biggest reason and reason why he, Yan Zhengsu and the new law have been able to persist to this day. No matter how these people attack themselves, only the emperor can make the final decision.

"Fang Dunru, solemn and solemn. Have you heard what you said? Not only are they disappointed in you, but I am also disappointed. I trust you so much that I entrust you with the important matter of changing the law, and I fully support you from the bottom of my heart. What did you give back to me? Are these three deficiencies of the great rebellion? Fang Dunru, you are not afraid of heaven and earth, you are not afraid of people's words, and your ancestors are not in your eyes, so what are you afraid of? Do you still have me in your eyes? Are there fathers and fathers, and all the people of the world? You've really made a big mistake this time. I am very disappointed in you, and I hope that you will reflect on the great mistakes you have made. Fang Dunru, I would rather believe that you are confused for a while, and everyone is confused sometimes. I give you a chance, you must retract your words, you must reflect deeply, right here, in front of me, in front of my ministers and the people of the world, to reflect on your mistakes, otherwise, I can no longer indulge you. ”

Although Guo Chong's words were harsh, there was still a trace of leeway, he did not beat him to death with a stick, but gave Fang Dunru a chance to be solemn. He asked Fang Dunru to reflect and apologize, hoping that he could forgive them. After all, in his opinion, Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu have no merit and hard work, and their efforts can still be seen by themselves.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Dunru, and there was a dead silence above the main hall.

Fang Dunru was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, the old minister has nothing to reflect on and apologize, and the minister's sincere heart can show the sun and the moon, and there is nothing to hide and justify." The minister only wants to complete the idea of changing the law to be strong Zhou Zhongxing, is this also wrong, then the minister doesn't know what is right. The 'three deficiencies' mentioned by the minister are the words in the minister's heart, and the minister does not feel that there is anything wrong with this. However, some people are far-fetched and insist on giving the ministers a big hat, but they are the ones who are wrong, and they are the ones who should apologize and reflect. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar. At this time, Fang Dunru actually said such a thing, it was incredible. Not only did he have no intention of repenting, but he said that the fault was someone else, which is too ridiculous and stubborn.

Those who had a good impression of Fang Dunru could only sigh deeply, Fang Dunru was too ignorant of current affairs. Lu Zhongtian, Yang Jun, Wu Chunlai and the others glanced at each other and smiled. They knew that as soon as these words came out, Fang Dunru had no chance of being forgiven. After such a long period of hard work, Fang Dunru was finally brought down. Yan Zhengsu can't run away, and the new law is going to be finished. This victory is absolutely decisive at the moment. The Reformers are scattered, and everything is about to change dramatically.

Lin Jue stood in the crowd in a daze, not knowing what to say. When Guo Chong asked Fang Dunru to apologize, retract his remarks, and reflect in public. Lin Jue had a premonition of this ending. If Fang Dunru was so easy to change his opinion, he would not be Fang Dunru anymore. Stubbornness created Fang Dunru and harmed him. It can even be said that, to some extent, Fang Dunru is politically naïve, and he has not even understood Guo Chong's mind until now.

Guo Chong was actually shaken a long time ago, don't look at what he has done, and he has supported the change of law many times. That's just a façade. He didn't really insist so much on changing the law. Moreover, Fang Dunru's three inadequate remarks are indeed deviant, and they have already touched on the root of Guo Chong's rule, even if the truth is right, even if Guo Chong himself understands in his heart that he is not the son of destiny, how can he forgive such rebellious words. Didn't he shake the foundation of the Great Zhou Emperor? If this kind of remarks can be approved, how can the people of the world still believe in him, the son of the true dragon, the only legitimate emperor who can rule over them? Fang Dunru is sometimes too idealistic, sometimes too pragmatic, sometimes too stubborn, and sometimes very naïve.

"I'm disappointed that you don't have the slightest remorse? He refused to go back. I'm disappointed! Guo Chong patted the armrest of the throne and sighed.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are not wrong, why regret it!" Fang Dunru said.

"Good! Good! Good! Guo Chong said hello three times in a row, because everyone knew that this was not a cheer for him, but a voice of extreme anger.

"Obsessed, rebellious! The emperor, the ministers asked the other party to be solemn and severely punished, so as to correct the public and the atmosphere. I am afraid that there are not a few people like Fang Dunru, and the old minister implores that the Holy Lord must take care of them all and eliminate the influence. Lu Zhongtian said loudly.

"Minister Yang Jun seconded the proposal, and if the rebel ministers are not removed, it will be difficult for the government and the opposition to be peaceful. The emperor must strictly control this demonic wind, clean up the source, and set the record straight. It must not be appeased. Yang Jun also stepped forward and shouted in a deep voice.

Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun took the lead, and the officials didn't know which direction the wind was blowing. Originally, most of them had already disagreed with the three deficiencies, and at this moment they all seconded the proposal, demanding that Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu be severely punished.

Guo Chong shouted in a deep voice: "Of course I will not tolerate such a great rebellion. The decree was issued to remove Fang Dunru from all positions and send him to prison pending trial. The crime will be found before it is released. From now on, the Yamen of the Ordinance Department will seal up the customs office, and officials at all levels will need to strictly examine and express their positions. New...... Suspend the implementation for a later date. ”
