Chapter 544 Do you know the name of the saint?

The game between ministers has always been around, and no one can always fight against anyone. In other words, they are all for the emperor, and who is truly convinced by whom. There are many ups and downs in the officialdom. If an official is not harmonious, he will suffer sooner or later.

I don’t know what the emperor thought this year, but he actually named Wei Zheng as the chief examiner of the imperial examination this year. This not only surprised Li Chengqian, but also surprised all the officials in the court. Who wouldn’t know that Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou had hungry for many heroes and officials of aristocratic families for three days because of the food problem, and were in charge of the heaven and earth, and were in the mouths of others.

Their reputation is now a mess. When their colleagues saw them, they all hid and became lonely officials. Isn’t it uncomfortable to let Wei Zheng be the chief examiner to preside over the spring exam?

OK, after this news came out, many Confucian scholars and students gathered in Chang'an actually showed up to protest and refused to take the exam. They gathered in front of the Duke of Zheng's mansion with Confucius' tablets, listing all kinds of crimes that Wei Zheng did not respect Confucius and Mencius's benevolence and forgiveness, and were rampant in the court and the country.

They said that Wei Zheng would humiliate his colleagues in every case of sesame and mung beans. He relied on the emperor's favor and regarded himself as his strength in the court. All the officials were in danger. Over the years, countless officials had been handed over to him. Such officials were in trouble in the court, and scholars did not dare to enter the court to become officials.

People live for a lifetime, and grass live for a long time. Who can guarantee that they will not make small mistakes in their lives? Even saints cannot avoid the common sense. With Wei Zheng, a guy like a mastiff, it would be better if this official is not done, so that Wei Zheng would not humiliate the saint's children.

After knowing that Wei Zheng was defeated, the emperor was having fun in Zichen Palace for a long time. Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng, you always cause trouble for me. No matter what everyone does, you won’t be able to see you. Now, let’s get stuck in the mansion, you deserve it.

Don’t you always talk about the saint’s teachings and claim that you are a noble moral master? This time, let the saint’s children refute you, but I will see how you will advise you in the future.

After laughing, laughing and having fun, rejecting Wei Zheng's request to resign from the examination, Li Shimin casually beat the matter to Linde Hall and handed it over to Li Chengqian for handling. Anyway, the matter of the imperial examination is the work of the prince. Whether it is good or bad, Wei Zheng has to be done this year. As for how to solve it, it is not something I have considered.

Li Chengqian could only express his helplessness about his father's retreat. He chose the person, and we have to bear the blame. He was a son who was very frustrated. At this moment, Li Chengqian felt a sense of revenge in his heart. For the first time, he hoped that Dugu Miaoyin's belly would grow up quickly. When he could do his job, I would also enjoy a blessing. This is the privilege of being me!

According to Changsun Chong, the reason why the scholars had this rebellious mentality was because the ministers of the aristocratic families who were beaten up a few days ago were all civil officials, and many students under their sects wanted to enter the officialdom by taking the imperial examinations. However, after hearing the experiences of their mentors, they all said that they could not even afford the official position.

Then, after passing on with friends with scholars, it spread throughout the entire circle of candidates in a short time. The prime minister of the court actually humiliated the children of the saints so much. This is not bad, so he has the momentum of prairie fire today.

It is not easy for scholars to offend. When Li Chengqian killed the Confucian scholars, he had evidence. Even if anyone was not convinced, he could only endure it in his heart. After all, where did Tang Lu define the definition of rebellion? It was useless for anyone to ask for it. If it was not done well, it would cause trouble. So the scholars and scholars were all talking behind their backs. But it was reasonable and legal to make trouble in the Duke of Zheng’s Mansion today. We can’t say that they violated the law for their faith!

Just when Li Chengqian had a headache to solve this embarrassing matter, Dou Kuan, Minister of Integrity, said: "The way of Confucius and Mencius is to rule the king, the ministers, fathers, sons, and sons, and yin and yang, establish the three poles, and plan for a long time is the must-follow way to govern the country.

His Highness cannot personally suppress the scholars' active participation in state affairs. If you want to solve this matter, you have to do the opposite and find someone who does not understand the way of Confucius and Mencius to take this job. If you don't understand, you will not have so many constraints. You don't have to abide by those rules. You can do twice the result with half the effort when doing things!"

As soon as Dou Kuan finished speaking, Changsun Chong, who was standing beside him, took the words: "I say to Shangshu Dou, Yunwen, Yunwu, as long as you can draw a trail, we can find it, but it would be really difficult to find someone who doesn't understand the "Word of Confucius and Mencius" at all. Even if you are as vulgar as Duke of Lu, you can still make a few words. There are such people in our Eastern Palace!"

Of course Li Chengqian understood Dou Kuan's meaning, but at this time he really couldn't think of anyone in the court and the country. He didn't know anything. He didn't have to worry about four or six, and his prestige could suppress all the scholars and scholars. Then he raised his finger and pointed at Dou Kuan, and said lightly: "Yanji, don't keep it a secret. Just say who is suitable to take this job."

Haha..., "Your Highness, don't worry. I heard that Duke E of the State was poor and humble when he was young, and he made a living by making a fuss. He joined the army to fight because he couldn't eat enough. He had no time to eat. He had no time to learn the way of Confucius and Mencius. He didn't know what he called him. I don't believe that you would call him. I guess he didn't know what Confucius called him."

Hearing Dou Kuan's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help but nodded. He was worthy of being an old official for many years. His vision was not ordinary. Why didn't he think of this general from a commoner? With the dignified Nanya governor Zhizun, he still dealt with a lot of trouble-making scholars. That's not a joke, he was just using cannons to kill mosquitoes.

But Changsun Chong didn't recognize this evil. In his opinion, even if Yuchi Jingde didn't know anything, he had been standing in the court for twenty years and had been fighting with Kong Yingda for ten years. He still didn't know who his ancestors were, so he immediately set up a banquet with Dou Kuan to see who it was more accurate to see.

A moment later, Yuchi Jingde, who received the order, rushed to Linde Hall happily. There has been a lot of movement in the west recently. He has pacified the rebellion of the Yao clan. It seems that the emperor must have asked the prince to say hello to him. If there is a war, how can it be so unfair?

After the ceremony, Yuchi Jingde asked carelessly: "Crown Prince, are you asking the old minister to go to war? Don't worry, but with my Yuchi Jingde's long spear, you will definitely not let those thieves step into the country."

Seeing the old Yuchi's chest slap, he was so excited to ask for battle. Li Chengqian quickly asked him to sit down and drink a cup of tea to relieve his anger. These veterans are so old, why are they still as brave as young people?

"Duke of E, don't worry about the war. I'm asking you for a question today."

Hearing that he was not going to war, the excitement on Old Yuchi's face disappeared in an instant. He bowed his hands casually and replied: "Your Highness, be polite. As long as you want to ask, please ask, as long as the old minister knows, I will tell you!"

"Duke E, do you know the name of Confucius?"

Confucius called himself from afar and asked this. At this time, Yuchi Jingde couldn't help but despise Li Gang, Zhang Xuansu and others, and why are there famous teachers in the world? He doesn't even teach his students. Isn't this a misleading child?
