Zhang Yue walked into the hall, held his eyes and swept over the literati with feather crowns of nylon on both sides.

His memory is already pretty good, and now with space assistance, he is so powerful that as long as he wants, he can remember every person he has seen before.

So, just took a few casual glances and Zhang Yue found that there were really many "old friends" sitting there!

Of course, there are many new faces.

Looking at these people, Zhang Yue showed a warm smile as spring, walked to the hall, and bowed to the prince Liu Ju and the eldest grandson Liu Jin who were sitting in the upper head, "I respectfully ask my family, your highness..."

"Shizhong Zhang asked to get up..." Crown Prince Liu Ji smiled and stood up, walked down the steps, walked to Zhang Yue in person, helped him up, and said, "This incident of Yu Yi was thanks to his beloved advice, but he did not cause any major disaster. He was the only one who was Yu Yi, and the people of Yong County and the entire Qishan Mountains... "

This time he went to Yu Yi to rescue the disaster, which was really eye-opening.

There are only two or three thousand registered households in Yuyi County, with a population of only more than 10,000, which is even less than the population of a town near Chang'an City.

But the greed and viciousness of the gentry Yu Yi were unprecedented in his past reading history.

I'm afraid only the legendary officials of the remnants of the people who were reigned during Jie and Zhou could compare with them.

Under the oppression and exploitation of these people, the people of Yuyi did not cover their bodies and could not fill their stomachs.

When he arrived at Yuyi, it was already a hell on earth.

Almost all the land in the town pavilion has cracked.

Every day, countless people commit suicide in despair.

There are even examples of family members committing suicide by taking poison.

When Liu Ju arrived, the entire Yuyi County was already shrouded in anger, despair and fear.

Just two people and one sentence, the whole Yu Yi is about to explode!

Fortunately, he went there, and fortunately, the young Shizhong official in front of him was even more fortunate that the magistrate of Yuyi County was still quite loving the people and did his best to mobilize food, strength and disaster relief within his ability.

otherwise……

Liu Ju can no longer imagine the consequences!

He must be ruined and notorious. In history, he will become a complete laughing stock.

Listening to the prince's words, countless scholars and officials in the hall suddenly felt that they were being hit on their heads with a big stick, making them dizzy and a little painful.

Many people even felt a look of shame and quietly lowered their heads.

As the saying goes, eating the king's fortune is a matter of being loyal to the king.

In this era, the values ​​of the literati and officials were very interesting, and they still uphold some of the legacy of the Warring States Period.

The explanation of "loyalty" is also still "to be loyal to one's heart".

Since he is the minister of the crown prince and is receiving the salary of the crown prince, he should do his job for the crown prince.

If you cannot do your duty, you will be disloyal.

Yu Yi's problems have been exposed now, and there is no possibility of concealing them at all.

Therefore, from the values ​​and perspective of the scholars and officials, all the ministers of the princes have fallen into the abyss of "disloyalty".

If you follow the understanding of the Gongyang School, you have already "fallen into the abyss" and will be punished by "spring and Autumn Annals" after your death.

The historian will add a sentence to the final conclusion of all of them, "Working with the prince is unfaithful."

If they were from the Gongyang School, they could now raise their swords and commit suicide, and use their blood to wash away their sins, so as to pray for the forgiveness of the heaven and earth and the king.

Of course, they are not ram men, and they don’t have to suffer day and night torture from their hearts and souls.

But it is already true that there is a problem with "loyalty and filial piety".

For a Confucian scholar, it can even be said that for any Han person who claims to be a "scholar", if there is a problem with the view of loyalty and filial piety, it is an extraordinary event!

Especially for the Guliang School, if you are not a loyal minister, you must be a traitor!

Everyone can punish the traitor!

If someone else had changed, this kind of problem would have happened.

They all knew that they must have already slapped the table at this moment, raised their swords and came to the door of the man's house.

Those with a more elegant temper can only sing elegies at his doorstep, urging him to commit suicide as soon as possible.

If you have a little irritable temper, you will block his house and make his crimes and evidence public.

Then gather the village party and the local genius, and beat them with a drum.

Many of them have done this kind of thing before.

Very familiar with routines.

For example, more than a month ago, Zheng Quan had to commit suicide.

There were a bunch of people singing elegies loudly around the door. Who dared not die? Who could not die?

But when this happens to me.

Many people have found...

Since ancient times, the only one who died was difficult!

In particular, many people remembered Zheng Quan's death and the miserable after his death.

Zheng Quan's death now lingers in their minds, making them shudder.

But what is even more frightening is the horror after Zheng Quan’s death!

Because he committed suicide due to guilt, Zheng did not dare to bury his coffin into the clan's cemetery, nor did he dare to sacrifice his god-lord card in the sect sacrifice, so that he could be with his ancestors and enjoy incense and blood food.

He had to choose another barren mountain for him and buried him in a hurry.

Because he died of guilt, there were no burial objects.

Even, he simply wrapped a mat and carried it into the coffin.

Before entering the burial, his hair must be spread and covered his cheeks in reverse to show that he has no face to see his ancestors and his ancestors and his ancestors in the nine springs.

What makes people even more frightened is that Zheng Quan’s tomb was afraid to set up a tomb, so he had to let his son erect a monument for him. The inscription of his tombstone says: Unfaithful ministers, so the crown prince’s family ordered Zheng’s tomb.

He didn't even dare to sign his name. It is very likely that even his name would disappear into the world after Zheng Quan's son's generation.

No one will remember him, even his direct descendants.

The only thing he could show was the record of the historian: In the first year of Yanhe, the prince's family ordered Zheng Quan to commit suicide.

And this is the punishment of the Spring and Autumn Period!

The sword of Damocles, which is not a punishment, but is hanging over the heads of all the scholars and officials!

Although the Guliang School is not the Gongyang School, it is also the Spring and Autumn School after all.

"Spring and Autumn" is their common source.

On the historical books, the words are written clearly in black and white: Confucius wrote the "Spring and Autumn Annals", while the rioters were afraid.

Therefore, now their hearts are really entangled, conflicted, ashamed, and other emotions mixed together.

The shame of their own shame and the fact of "infaithfulness" made them feel like a knife, and the miserable appearance and tragic experience of Zheng Quan, Li Xun and others after their deaths hurt them.

And combine their inner shame, anger, fear and horror.

It eventually turned into strength and hatred!

"It's all your fault!" More than one person lowered his voice, and with his blood-red eyes, he looked fiercely at the Shizhongguan standing in the hall and being kindly helped up by the prince.

In their opinion, they may fall into the abyss of "unfaithfulness" and may even be punished by Chunqiu.

It was all brought by this Shizhong official.

If he hadn't meddled with other people's business, Yu Yi's affairs would not have been exposed before the world, and everyone would not have to be ashamed of "disloyalty" and be punished by Chunqiu!

But he just starved to death and hanged a few mud legs?

Are you committing such a killing? Are you merciless?

In the eyes of these people, even if they take a step back, even if Yu Yi's affairs lead to a disaster and become civil rebellion, they can calmly mobilize their troops to fight. The entire Qishanyuan has a population of only more than 100,000 or 200,000 people. Even if they are completely rebelled, it is just a matter of a large army's attack.

And if so, all the evidence will be destroyed in the war.

More importantly, all the guilt has nothing to do with them.

Because, by that time, the prince will be the one who bears the blame!

Thinking of this, the young Shizhong official in front of him became the enemy of many people.

You must first get rid of it and then get rid of it quickly, even at any cost!

Some people even believe that as long as this person is removed, their own guilt can be relieved.

Although this logic seems strange and difficult to justify itself.

But, now that's what they think.

…………………………

Zhang Yue raised his head and looked at the prince in front of him.
