Chapter 121 Betrayal and stepping stone
"Student Qin Shou, pay a visit to Mr. Jia."
Qin Shou bowed to Jia Sidao respectfully and bowed deeply to the ground, and said aloud.
The whole hall was dead silent, this time it was true dead silent.
When enemies meet, they should be particularly jealous. However, Qin Shou directly made people's eyes burst out.
The scholars who came to their senses looked surprised and looked at Qin Shou with great meaning, but more of them were unconcealed contempt. They had seen shameless people, but never seen such shameless people.
Although this disciple etiquette was what was agreed to at the bet of the Seyuan Poetry Club. No one really believed that Qin Shou and others would do this after losing.
Everyone is a literati, and they are all reading books of sages. What is the most important thing about literati? What is integrity? However, Qin Shou, in front of him, had obviously thrown all his integrity into the Mongolian desert.
But then again, ask yourself, if they were facing the situation where they offended Jia Sidao and lost extremely miserably, what choice should they make? Should they give up the Jinshi status that they had been studying hard for more than ten years or even decades, and should they bow down to Jia Sidao and perform the disciple's courtesy like Qin Shou?
The question is, but many people don't know how to answer it.
Wang Ke and Lu were completely like seeing Qin Shou like this.
The Seyuan Poetry Conference should be the scene that the three of them are most reluctant to recall in their lives. At the Seyuan Poetry Conference, they not only lost all their face, but also lost all their inner slacks. Of course, if they really wear ****.
At the poetry meeting, Zheng Qingzhi needed them to touch Jia Sidao's bottom. At that time, many people thought that Jia Sidao was a wise man, and there were indeed many people standing on their side.
But after really finding out Jia Sidao's bottom, how could Zheng Qingzhi really get into evil with Jia Sidao because of the three of them? How could three little Jinshi who had no power, no power, no talent and no character be compared with Jia Sidao, who had a deep holy heart and had a special harem, and was pregnant with a dragon-seeded concubine?
The two sides are not the same as the same heavyweight class at all, and it goes without saying which one is more important.
Of course, it is not that there is really no one behind the three of them, but the Neo-Confucian faction standing behind the three of them finally stood firm in the court because of their collusion with Qiao Xingjian, but after all, they have not stood firm yet, right? Even Qiao Xingjian was just using each other with Yuan Shao and others, not to mention that Yuan Shao, who was taught by the three of them, had already died last year.
The other leaders of the Neo-Confucianism school in the court, such as Zhen Dexiu, Wei Leweng and others, turned a blind eye to the experiences of the three people after they offended Jia Sidao. How could Zheng Qingzhi lend a helping hand?
Therefore, after the Seyuan Poetry Conference, it is no exaggeration to describe the life of Qin Shou and the other two as the years have been described. This is not important. What is important is that the students of the Jinshi class in the Wuxu dynasty have successively received official edicts, but the three of them did not make any noise. They went to ask for the prisons of various Neo-Confucianism and the sects in the court, but most of them were turned away. Even if they barely saw Yuan Shao's feelings, they were vague about the situation of the three of them. The warmth and coldness of human feelings can be seen.
Because what?
Because Yu Tianxi not only controls the Ministry of Revenue, but also serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Unless Zhao Yun has the fate, no one can interfere with Yu Tianxi. Although Qiao Xingjian is the left prime minister, Qiao Xingjian is far from reaching the realm of Shi Miyuan's time, one hand covers the sky and one person is above ten thousand people.
It’s not that he didn’t want to, but that Zhao Yun could not let the second Shi Miyuan appear again. Of course, in the original history, the appearance of Jia Sidao was also a helpless move.
The huge Song Dynasty was no longer available. In his twilight years, Zhao Yun had long lost the enterprising mentality of his youth. He just wanted to be able to enjoy it in time and maintain that appearance to continue the Song Dynasty.
After all, most of the things in the world are putting in trouble, but few are helping in time. Not to mention being in the officialdom.
The scholars basically watched the experiences of Qin Shou and the other two, and even gloated and secretly gloated. After all, the Neo-Confucian school has a great influence in the court. If the three of them were not eye-catching, they would have poked Jia Sidao, they would have taken away three good positions.
In fact, the people of the Neo-Confucian school are not really standing by and watching the three of them, but are waiting for opportunities. Moreover, Qiao Xingjian has taken action, but the levels involved and the risks caused by the struggle are far beyond what ordinary people can participate in and see. Naturally, they are still white-headed Jinshi, naturally, cannot know.
However, it was precisely because of the cold observation of the Neo-Confucian school that Qin Shou and the others thought that they had been completely given up. Although it was a bit exaggerated to give up on themselves, the three of them were in a similar state.
The three people who were ill and pitiful, simply went directly to the same inn to live.
I don’t know where Qin Shou found out that Jia Sidao would come to attend this banquet. At the beginning, Wang Ke and Lu said that they were not willing to come. Literary people pay attention to integrity and accept defeat by making a promise. Is it a kind of integrity and a very important one?
When I saw Jia Sidao really performing the disciple ceremony, I would not be able to afford it and would not be able to do it at all; but if I did not perform the disciple ceremony, I would probably lose all the integrity of the literati.
It’s better not to go if you are not a person inside or outside.
However, after Qin Shou patted his chest and promised that Jia Sidao would not pursue this matter and had a way to resolve the conflict with Jia Sidao, both Wang Ke and Lu were moved.
After more than ten years of hard work, I finally had the capital to become an entrepreneur. Who would be willing to just go through this, and I would not have to spend my time with my talent. Of course, this talent is what they think is. Only they know whether it has it or not.
The two of them were moved and followed Qin Shou with shameless face.
However, the development of things was far beyond the expectations of the two. Wang Ke and Dao did not expect that the method Qin Shou would have said would be such a method. The most important thing is that what the two really couldn't accept was that he had never discussed it with the two in advance.
This is to treat the two as his flattery and stepping stones to Jia Sidao.
Qin Shou had already given the disciple's courtesy to Jia Sidao. However, Wang Ke and Lu, who also participated in the bet, did not. Wang Ke and Lu knew that Qin Shou had not discussed this matter with him, but others, the classmates in the lobby didn't know, so they naturally took it for granted that they didn't want to practice the bet.
Qin Shou, the first to eat the crab. Although he lost his integrity, he promised to admit his gambling and accepted the loss, but he found out that he had a lot of integrity.
If Wang Ke and Li, who were already determined to not want to fulfill the contract, would not only not be praised, but all their integrity and face would be completely lost.
Being forced and being voluntary are two completely different natures, aren’t it?
