Early in the morning, with a loud rooster crow, Qingzhou City seemed to come to life. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Some of the wealthy families in the houses brought their briquette stoves to the yard and began to boil water for cooking, while those who were reluctant to buy briquette stoves with money were emitting long smoke.

The streets of Qingzhou are also lively, with vendors setting up stoves on the side of the street, selling baked cakes, fritters, and tofu brains to merchants who come and go, and the food stalls along the street are full of people.

In the midst of this noise, the newsboy's voice rang out as usual.

Merchants and scholars on the street are accustomed to buying today's newspapers to learn about the changes that are taking place in the Great Chongqing Kingdom from above, after all, because of the lack of information, they rarely know what is happening outside.

"Celestialism, what is it?"

The bean brain stall in front of the Chamber of Commerce was full of merchants, and the contents of the newspaper quickly attracted their attention.

"The earth is round, it revolves around the sun, and there are nine planets in the solar system...... "The young merchant read the contents of the newspaper word by word, and the other merchants who were eating all pricked up their ears to listen.

"There is no Chang'e on the moon, the shadow on the surface is just the sea of the moon, and there is no life on the moon......"

With the words of the young businessman, more and more people were intrigued, and they stopped one after another, listened intently, and their eyes widened one by one.

"There are no gods on the moon?" A passerby exclaimed.

The businessmen looked at each other, and an older businessman said to the young businessman, "Han Zheng, is that really what this newspaper says?" ”

"I can't be wrong, anyway, I've been reading for a few years, and I still recognize this word." Han Zheng sighed, "This Qingzhou Daily is crazy, if there are no immortals on this moon, the sun is not a golden crow, and there are no immortals in the sky, isn't this emperor no longer the true son of heaven?" “

As soon as these words came out, the elderly businessman stretched out his leg and kicked Han Zheng: "You kid is looking for death, aren't you?" Shut up. ”

The elderly businessman was Han Zheng's uncle, and instead of keeping his mouth shut, Shan Hanzheng said: "This is clearly the meaning of the newspaper, and it is said that this newspaper was reviewed by the emperor, so this matter may be what the emperor meant." ”

The merchants were silent, and after a while a merchant trembled and said, "I'm afraid something big is going to happen." ”

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, one by one no longer discuss this issue, but eat silently and wait for it to change.

Compared with the discussion on the street, the Confucian students who respect Confucianism in Qingzhou City have already exploded, and a group of Confucian students hurriedly went to a house in Qingzhou City with newspapers. ‘

And the plaque above this house has a kudzu character written on it.

In the courtyard, an old man was practicing the Five Elements Boxing, looking casual and elegant, and he didn't seem to care about this group of Confucian students breaking in.

Although Qingzhou University is gaining popularity in Qingzhou, a large number of Confucian scholars in the Great Chongqing Kingdom are still living in the thinking of the old era, studying hard for ten years, they are unwilling to start over, and have been seeking to resume the imperial examination.

A Confucian student named Yu Yuankun at the head looked at the old man and said: "Old Ge, when can you calm down now, now the emperor is going to destroy the foundation of our Confucianism, and if you and Master Cui Hao don't come forward, there will be no way for thousands of Confucian students in the Great Yu Kingdom to live." ”

The old man who was called Ge Daren by a group of Confucian scholars was none other than Ge Yiren.

A year after King Zhao was driven out of Chang'an, he never received an appointment from the imperial court, and he couldn't help but take a family to Qingzhou to prepare to explore the way, and at the same time, because of the name of Confucianism, he was welcomed by the Confucian students as soon as he entered Qingzhou City, and reopened the Confucian school to give lectures.

"The emperor is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about, Confucianism has been inherited for thousands of years, since the Han Dynasty has respected Confucianism and carried forward, and it has not moved after five dynasties, how can you understand the reason for this, you go back for the time being, I will enter the palace to persuade the emperor." Ge Yiren's eyes flickered.

When the Confucian scholars heard this, they all showed excited looks, and Yu Yuankun said: "In this way, it depends on Ge Lao to come forward." ”

Ge Yiren nodded and said to the housekeeper beside him, "Send the scholars back." ”

After the Confucian scholars left, two people came out from behind the rockery in the courtyard, it was Yu Zhiyong and Ni Kuang.

Glancing at the direction of Confucianism's departure, Ge Yiren said: "Old Ge, this group of Confucian students doesn't have much ability, but they are very noisy, and if they get too close, sooner or later they will suffer from the disaster of pond fish." ”

"That's right, this time the emperor is so generous, targeting these stubborn Confucian students, if you get too close to them, I'm afraid that the three of us will never come out."

Ge Yiren stroked his beard lightly, after reading today's newspaper, he already had a plan, he said: "Today's matter is the opportunity for you and me to be extremely human, haven't you two seen through it yet?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yu Zhiyong and Ni Kuang looked puzzled.

Ge Yiren said: "Today's saints are absolutely unusual, this celestial theory is to destroy my Confucian foundation, but at the same time it also denies the fact that he is the true son of heaven, the reason why he dares to do this Meng Lang is only because there is no one in authority now, no one can shake his throne, so now it is time for Confucianism to change, if you and I can seize the opportunity, we will definitely soar, at least it will be rich and prosperous for a lifetime." “

"Confucian Reform." Yu Zhiyong and Ni Kuang glanced at each other, as great Confucians, they knew the history of Confucianism very well.

In all dynasties, Confucianism was born without vassalizing the imperial power, serving as an instrument for the imperial power to govern the world, and it is precisely because of this that Confucianism can not fall for thousands of years.

When Xiao Ming ascended the throne, they mistakenly thought that the Dayu Dynasty would still follow the old system, but now it seems that after the emperor ascended the throne, it was tantamount to changing the dynasty.

If so, they need to think about it.

"Ge Lao really has a long-term vision, and the two of us can't compare, so let's ask to see the emperor together." Ni Kuang said.

Yu Zhiyong also suddenly realized, he said: "Extremely yes, extremely is." “

"Okay, then I will ask the butler to prepare the carriage, and the three of you and I will ask to see the emperor outside the palace together, in my opinion, the saint is extremely clever today, and he will definitely receive us."

Ge Yiren said loudly.

With that, the three of them took a carriage and headed for the palace in the south of the city.

Outside the palace gates, they were stopped by the guards, and after some briefing, they were allowed to enter.

The three of them were overjoyed, and followed Qian Dafu to the palace, and along the way, the three of them excitedly looked at the facilities in the palace.

It was uncomfortable for them to be left out of the court for more than a year, and now they were secretly determined to seize this opportunity.

Following Qian Dafu, they arrived at the door of the imperial study after a while, and then Qian Dafu let the three of them in.

Ge Yiren tidied up his clothes, and cautiously entered the imperial study with Yu Zhiyong and Ni Kuang.

At this time, Xiao Ming was standing with his back to them, and after they said goodbye, Xiao Ming slowly turned around.
