Chapter 56: Singing the World (5)
It is possible that due to the influence of his parents' genetics, Zheng Lang has not developed yet, which is inevitable, but he belongs to the kind of late-maturing child who looks a year or two younger than his actual age. Along the way, he still wore a large shackle weighing several pounds around his neck, but fortunately, the official saw that he was small and did not shackle him, otherwise he would not be able to walk a step. That's a lot of eye-catching.
Some ordinary people were not afraid, so they asked: "A few poor brothers, such a young child, do you want to arrest him?" ”
"Fan Xiaoli left the capital, and it was this kid who pretended to be a ghost to play the piano."
"That's him."
It's okay not to say it, but when I say it, all of them follow. Someone asked, "Has he committed any crime?" ”
"Isn't it a crime to pretend to be a ghost?"
"What is this charge?"
"Yes, just playing the piano, what does it have to do with pretending to be a ghost? Could it be that the Great Song Dynasty is going to change the sky? ”
Even this has to be arrested, unless the old lady in the palace wants to learn Wu Zetian and starts to arrest people indiscriminately and kill people indiscriminately, what is it called Change?
It is not easy to be a servant in Kaifeng Mansion, and when he saw that the situation was not good, one of the older officials said: "We have no choice, we are on the orders of our superiors, and we dare not disobey." ”
If you don't say that, there is a possibility that angry people can provoke a popular uprising.
Before the person came, he set off such a big momentum, Wang Bowen slapped his head, with a sad face, and he didn't know what to do.
Zheng Lang was brought in, and Wang Bowen almost scolded, you errand soldiers are all pigs. is such a big fart child, but he is like a big enemy, not to mention the whole body, not to mention a big shackle, can it not attract attention?
But what annoyed him was behind, and Zheng Lang was still a little confused at this time. Although he made a few words of advice, he couldn't figure it out, he just played a tune, and he actually moved the people to ask himself for his guilt? Could it be that the old lady also heard many bad rumors and developed a strong sense of disgust for herself?
Several officials saw where he was standing stunned, and kicked him: "Don't you kneel when you see Fu Yin?" ”
The kick was not light, and he was kicked to the ground at once, and the shackles also knocked his nose, and blood immediately flowed out. Zheng Lang was also annoyed, the evil spirit came up, struggled, stood up again, and shouted to several officials: "Although I have no fame, I am also a student, kneeling to the sky and kneeling to the king and kneeling to my parents, today I am not guilty, why let me kneel!" ”
A few officials still have to press it, Wang Bowen is so angry that he almost vomits blood, if you do this, spread it, I just have no responsibility, and it will make you scratch your breath, and shouted: "Don't be rude, quickly untie his shackles." ”
Fu Yin spoke, and several officials did not dare to come nonsense, so they went up to untie the shackles.
Zheng Lang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this is almost the same, I am afraid that the historical records are wrong, the officialdom of the Song Dynasty is not like that, so I will be in big trouble.
But Wang Bowen suddenly slapped the stunned wood and shouted: "Why did you go to play the piano for Fan Xiaoli, and who instructed it?" ”
I thought to myself, boy, I can't help it, make a show, if you can pass these questions, I'll be able to explain. If you can't pass the level, Lao Tzu will also let you pull you into the water. His face was full of inwardness, but his heart was praying, praying for God, praying for the true king, all great gods, you manifest your spirits.
He never thought that he would be tortured to Zheng Lang, but Zheng Lang was too young, Hugh said that he was a child, just an ordinary adult, and when he came to the court of Kaifeng Mansion, his legs would tremble with fright.
didn't disappoint him, Zheng Lang was not afraid, as long as the real Song Dynasty officialdom was about the same as the historical records, he would not have much of a big deal. Besides, he also held back the fire in his belly, and when he heard Wang Bowen's question, he wiped his nosebleed with his sleeve, and said: "The kid went to play the piano for Fan Xiaoli, it is to praise the righteousness between heaven and earth, thousands of years of moral tradition, as for who gave it, it is the sages of the past dynasties, loyal ministers and good men of all dynasties, they taught the kid to do this!" ”
"Okay," Wang Bowen said in his heart. It must be difficult to say it, otherwise the old lady will be angry and she will be unlucky.
With this sentence, I am in good hands.
But I can't help but ask, just to make a show, this level is not enough, and continue to ask: "I have also heard that you have some things, you are stubborn, lustful, and brave, what qualifications do you have to say that righteousness and morality, sages, sages, and loyal ministers and good men?" ”
After asking, I thought again, old lady, I have asked about this, and I am worthy of your old man.
"Boy, can you ask Fu Yin a few questions?"
"Yes."
Wang Bowen's attitude is like this, but he is also helpless.
The matter also began with his trial of Cao's use of his nephew Cao Wei.
After overthrowing Ding Wei, Cao used his power to lean towards the government and the opposition, and he was very domineering, and even the eunuchs in the palace, and even the queen mother and the emperor, were a little contemptuous and committed public anger. It happened that someone accused Cao Xiao, Cao's nephew, of Zhaozhou, saying that he drank wine, put on a yellow coat, and led others to shout long live himself.
When the officials of the imperial court heard this, they were all shocked, Kou Zhun also wore a dragon robe back then, not only did he wear it, but he also wore it on the day he was born, and then the hairpin flower went around and spread it around. Everyone knows that he is an informal person, that's it, Song Zhenzong heard a lot, and asked Wang Dan worriedly, Kou Zhun wants to rebel? Wang Dan just smiled bitterly and said, Kou Zhun is so old, he doesn't have self-respect, it's too unlikely, I immediately replied and scolded him. Song Zhenzong came to his senses, and when he thought about this old boy's surname, he was relieved.
But Kou Zhun didn't dare to let people shout long live him.
What does this mean, so Liu E sent Wang Bowen and the eunuch Luo Chongxun and the superintendent Yu Shi Cui Ji to try the case. At that time, Wang Bowen was a little anxious, tortured the confession, and after getting the confession, he thought of Cao Hao's domineering, and in anger, he put Cao Wei in a pot of boiling water and boiled it alive.
Originally, this matter ended here, but I didn't expect that Cao Yu would fall because of this incident, Fangzhou was settled, and the eunuch Yang Huaimin who escorted hated Cao Yun's behavior, so he kept humiliating along the way. , known as the most stoic minister in the Great Song Dynasty, committed suicide by hanging a beam when he couldn't bear it anymore.
Some courtiers also regretted this death.
Although Cao used to be domineering, it was much better than Ding Weilai, and it was not easy to go to the Khitan camp alone in the city of Lanzhou, turn into an iron rooster, and block the big mouth of the Khitan people.
The real number is bad, in addition to arrogance, and there is no big bad thing. As for fighting Kou Zhun, it was too normal in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, there were turbidity ministers, and Qing ministers also had them, and there was no one who had not done anything to fight each other. Including Fan Zhongyan, he has done it all!
So the attitude changed and began to sympathize.
Wang Bowen was very sad about this change, because there was a new theory in Cao Wei's case, there was a maid in his family who was very beautiful, his wife was jealous, and the two were competing for favor, so Cao Wei had to marry the maidservant. But he couldn't give up, every once in a while he ran to the maid's house, the maid's husband was very angry, once Cao Xiao came to entangle, her husband saw Cao Xiao wearing a yellow robe, so he deliberately bowed to the ground, the mountain shouted long live, attracting neighbors to come and watch. The matter also spread quickly to the capital, and a series of consequences occurred.
If that is the case, Cao Wei can only be convicted of arrogance, and cannot be cooked alive for the crime of treason.
As a result, many ministers thought that Wang Bowen was a courtier.
If this case is not handled properly, it is possible that he will become the second Wang Qinruo, and no matter how much he has contributed to the court, he will be beaten by the Qingliu people forever.
Zheng Lang asked, "Can you let Niu Ma play the piano?" ”
The question was very strange, but Wang Bowen replied with a straight face: "No." ”
"Fu Yin, you also have a grandson, right?"
"Yes."
"Can you keep him from wetting the bed when he's one year old?"
"I can't."
"Can he be asked to write a chapter like the "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion" at the age of ten?"
"I can't."
"So if the boy did some absurd things when he was ten years old, and later corrected them, is it forgivable? Zhou was nearly 30 years old before he changed his ways, and Yao Yuanchong also studied hard when he was in his twenties. Confucius also studied seriously at the age of fifteen. Lord Fu Yin, do you want to ask, why did Confucius go before he was fifteen? ”
This sentence is from Confucius's "Analects", I am fifteen and aspire to learn, thirty and stand, forty and not confused, and fifty know the destiny of heaven. I didn't start learning until I was fifteen, I didn't stand on my own until I was thirty, I didn't understand many things without being confused at the age of forty, and I realized at fifty that everything has its own destiny.
Let me ask, do you dare to refute Confucius?
He also said: "Fu Yin is the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, the kid changes evil to good, it is not a good thing, nor is it an ugly thing, it is a gentleman's virtue to worship evil and promote good, haven't Fu Yin heard of it?" Why do you turn out the young and ignorant things of the kid and laugh at the kid? ”
Wang Bowen smiled and said, "Well said." Zheng Jialang, let me ask you, why do you want to see off Fan Xiaoli? ”
You don't have to just reply to me, what is righteous and moral, you have to be truthful, and I can explain.
"Scholars can't not be Hongyi, there is a long way to go, benevolence is their own responsibility, isn't it also heavy? Death and self, is it not far away? When I met such a taxi, the kid only went to play a piano song for him, why not? ”
This is what Zeng Zi said, a scholar can't be broad-minded and determined, because he has a heavy responsibility and a long way to go, and he regards the realization of benevolence as his righteous army, isn't it very important? Isn't it far away to fight for it all your life and not rest until you die? Fan Zhongyan's knowing that he can't do it, is it the spirit of "Shi"? In this spirit, why should I go and send him off?
refuted with the words of the sage, Wang Bowen couldn't cry or laugh, and finally said: "I have heard about you, saying that after autumn, spread your wings, winter has come, although it is late, but from today onwards, you will sing the world!" ”
