Chapter 893: Tongue War

Xia Hongsheng listened to the interrogation of the ministers one by one, each more serious than the other, and each more shocking than the other. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although I had been prepared for this for a long time, I still felt a chill in my heart when I heard about it suddenly.

It's not because I feel that I don't have the power to fight back, so I'm worried. Instead, for the sake of their own interests, these people can really do it to such an extent and throw away the interests of Datang. No wonder Li Shimin has always been hostile to these scholars. I am afraid that in the eyes of these scholars, the interests of the country and the people are not important, and only the interests of their own families are above everything else.

"Your Majesty, many ministers just questioned the Marquis of Jingyang County. Whether it's true or not, we don't dare to talk nonsense. At this time, Xiao Yu walked out and said to Li Shimin: "The ministers think that what you ministers say, I am afraid that it will not be groundless, but Xiahou's contribution to the court is also obvious to all." said that Xiahou had a heart of disobedience, and this minister did not believe it. However, it is better to have a company to verify it. First, you can return Xiahou's innocence, and second, if there is really a ......"

After that, Xiao Yu turned his head to look at Xia Hongsheng again, and said, "Oh, please forgive Xiahou, the old man is talking about things, but he doesn't mean to target Xiahou." The old man naturally believed that Xiahou would not do such a thing. ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded to Xiao Yu with a smile and raised his hand with a smile.

After a long time, a group of courtiers ended their attack on Xia Hongsheng and listened to it.

The entire court could hear the pins falling, waiting for the reaction of Li Shimin and Xia Hongsheng.

Li Shimin seemed to be the same as just now, still with no waves, but turned his head to look at Xia Hongsheng, and asked lightly: "Xia Qing, so many ministers pointed out Xia Hongsheng's sins. What does Xia Qing have to say? ”

Xia Hongsheng took a deep breath, walked out, slowly glanced at the officials who had just stood up to accuse him, and then bowed and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, what the adults just said, Weichen heard it, and heard it clearly. However, Weichen feels that what you have said is simply nonsense, and it is a fart at all! ”

"Xia Hongsheng! You...... Daring! The minister suddenly pointed at Xia Hongsheng and jumped up: "Above the court, he is talking wildly and making a lot of nonsense!" actually openly insulted the courtiers above the court, Your Majesty, Xia Hongsheng should be guilty of one more degree! ”

"Say you fart, you still can't stop farting!" Xia Hongsheng sneered at the minister: "Benhou's heart for the Tang Dynasty can be known by heaven and earth, and the sun and moon can be learned. Fang Caier and several others attacked Benhou and listed several charges. Benhou should refute them one by one. ”

After that, Xia Hongsheng took a few steps, walked in front of those people, stood face to face with them, and then said: "Fang Caier and others attacked Ben Hou's rhetoric, and when they came together, they couldn't outrun these articles. First, the Jingyang Academy of the Hou did not respect Confucianism, and specialized in teaching some things that were sideways and left-handed things, misleading people's children. Second, the students of Jingyang Academy should not participate in the selection of officials and enter the ranks with the Jinshi and the first. Third, you and others said that Benhou used the students of the academy to form a party for personal gain. Fourth, the Marquis of Er et al. said that Benhou sold weapons to Lin Yiguo in the Ryukyus, but in fact he took these weapons for himself, intending to use the students to form a party and rebel through the academy. Fifth, the Marquis of Yan took advantage of his status to sell his official position and make money in a big business. Ladies and gentlemen, are there any gaps in these five things that Ben Hou has summarized? ”

"And you speak wildly, and you openly insult the courtiers above the court!" At last the man who spoke spoke again.

"Okay, that's it." Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Is there anything missing now?" ”

The ministers who attacked Xia Hongsheng looked at each other, and then shook their heads.

Xia Hongsheng smiled coldly again and said, "Okay! Since you suspect Ben Hou, then Ben Hou also has the responsibility to prove his innocence. You have listed the crimes of Benhou, but it sounds like one is more serious than the other, and one is worse than the other. In this first article, you say that Benhou's Jingyang Academy does not respect Confucianism. But I don't know if you have inquired, among the professors of Jingyang Academy, there are Yan Xiangshi, Gai Wenda, and Yu Zhining as masters? These three masters were in Jingyang Academy, teaching students Confucian classics and doctrines. Confucianism is also a compulsory course for students of Jingyang Academy. How do you say that Benhou's Jingyang Academy does not respect Confucianism, but only teaches the left way? Could it be that what Mr. Yan Xiangshi, Gai Wenda, and Yu Zhining taught in the academy was also a side-by-side way? ”

Although these three people taught Confucianism, they ......" One of the people on the other side was about to refute it.

However, Xia Hongsheng didn't wait for him to speak, he interrupted him, and said, "Let's talk about the side ways you said. In addition to Confucianism, the students of Jingyang Academy also need to learn arithmetic, law, astronomy, geography, etc. For them, Confucianism alone can no longer meet their needs for study. They want to become people who know astronomy and geography, and who are discerning from the law. Without delaying the study of Confucianism, why not learn some of this kind of knowledge? Have I ever said that students are not allowed to study knowledge? If these are counted as side doors, then in my imperial examinations, in addition to Jinshi and Ming Jing, there are still more than 50 subjects such as Ming Calculation and Ming Law, is it possible that they are also side doors? ”

"But you're not the only one in Jingyang Academy. In your Jingyang Academy, there are separate subjects, in addition, there are also economics, politics, engineering, agriculture, medicine and so on. Isn't it a sideshow? Among the academies, Confucian classics should be the mainstay, and Jingyang Academy opens these things, isn't it a disrespectful move to Confucianism? Another retorted.

Xia Hongsheng laughed: "Then Benhou is going to ask this adult." Dare to ask this adult, do you know how to farm? Do you know how to arrange the four seasons of farming, how to build water conservancy, how to increase yields, and how to turn uncultivated saline-alkali land into fertile land? This lord, please answer Ben Hou, will you?! ”

"This ......" the man rolled his eyes and said, "The responsibility of this official is the responsibility of the officials of Sinong Temple. ”

"Oh, so you won't." Xia Hongsheng nodded: "But Benhou will!" Students of agriculture in Jingyang Academy will also learn it. Agriculture is the foundation of the world, you say that it is a side door, then presumably this adult does not need to eat on weekdays, right? ”

"You ......"

"If our academy doesn't teach these students how to arrange farming at four times, how to build water conservancy, how to increase yields, how to turn uncultivable saline-alkali land into fertile land, and prevent them from helping farmers cultivate better, will it be difficult for you to go? If my academy doesn't teach students how to rejuvenate and diagnose diseases, will it be difficult for you to come to see others? If my academy doesn't teach students how to make steel and artillery, will it be possible for you to go to the military machine workshop to teach those craftsmen how to make artillery, make telescopes, make hot air balloons, make cement, and make reinforced concrete? Xia Hongsheng snorted coldly, suddenly raised his voice, and said to the man: "If this farmer is on the side, then you don't need to eat." If this doctor is a sideliner, then you don't need to seek medical treatment. If this work is a side-by-side road, then you can ask Your Majesty to immediately dismantle the military aircraft workshop and take back the utensils made by the military aircraft workshop? Ben Hou will never stop you, this lord, please! ”

"You! I...... How could I ever say that I would abolish the military aircraft workshop?! ......" The man was asked by Xia Hongsheng, and immediately panicked and hurriedly argued.

"What about these things, but they're still on the sidelines?" Xia Hongsheng asked with a sneer. (To be continued.) )
