Chapter 256
"Zimei, you are here too"
Du Fu pursed his lips and greeted the person he greeted him. The man smiled and looked proud. Du Fu felt disgusted when he saw him like this.
No matter how disgusted he was, he could not reject these people. After all, they were the Qingliu.
"Today we are going to start. Brother Zimei, you have a wonderful writing, and you should take it out at this time. You can't keep talking?"
The man pulled Du Fu to the Imperial Academy. The Tang Dynasty was the highest institution of learning and was under the jurisdiction of the Imperial College. At its peak, there were more than 8,000 people, including international students from various countries. To launch a group discussion, the Imperial College was a must-have place, and the man and Du Fu and others were arranged to come here.
After looking at the companion named Dong Cai, Du Fu sighed in his heart.
Could it be...I really want to be an enemy of Ye Shiyi?
At this time, the most talked about on the streets and alleys in Chang'an City was still the bidding party held the day before yesterday. Ordinary people were talking about this for fun, while wealthy people talked about this because they thought that the way of bidding was indeed a good way to make money, while the powerful family talked about who had obtained exquisite glassware. As for the women in the boudoir, they bit their ears and calculated how much profit a girl from a certain family could get from this bidding.
As far as Du Fu knows, even in the Imperial Academy, glassware and Aolai Country have become popular topics.
The two of them arrived at the Imperial Academy early, but the usual cold and cold Taixue is different today. Many students make friends and call friends and are rushing to the Imperial Academy.
"Hey, what's going on?" Dong Cai said in surprise.
"I don't know." Du Fu was also very strange, but there were only a lot of people, and the more people they did, the greater the impact they had.
Dong Cai was also a student, but he was unwilling to stay in the museum on weekdays, and he was more willing to make friends with powerful people in Chang'an City. He pulled Du Fu and looked around, and finally saw a group of people there, some of which he knew, so he walked over.
Everyone did not notice them coming. When Dong Cai saw that everyone ignored them, he was a very polite person. He immediately said: "The country is no longer a country, are you still chatting here?"
Everyone looked at him in a blink of an eye, looking surprised. Dong Cai suddenly felt in a good mood. This feeling of being noticed by everyone was really happy.
"Can you know that I, the Tang Dynasty, will no longer be for the Tang Dynasty. The money is so bad that I can make the ghosts push me. I am obsessed with profit. The monkey is actually wearing clothes," Dong Cai said again.
"Dong Cai, what do you mean?"
The students were immediately unhappy. These sentences were a bit disagreeable.
"Do you know the bidding for Xiangxuehai?" Dong Cai glanced at Du Fu and found that Du Fu could not speak a word, so he could only take it on himself: "For his own selfish desires, Ye Chang ignored the dignity of the court officials, pursued Adu's things, and had a corrupt character..."
Dong Cai had some preparations in advance, so he buckled Ye Chang's head with a big hat. The more he spoke, the more excited he became. Later, he jumped on a stone mattress and said loudly with his hands and feet.
The special situation here has attracted many people to notice and look at it. There are more and more people gathering around Dong Cai. At first, Du Fu was still in the inner circle, but gradually he was squeezed into the outer circle.
The students around him were staring at him. He felt that this gaze was admiration and admiration for him, but Du Fu next to him gradually realized that something was wrong.
Everyone's eyes were initially surprised, but later they turned into contempt, and then they turned into...anger?
Why not seem to be angry at Ye Chang, but to this Dong Cai?
"Ye Chang is not punished by this thief, and the law of heaven is difficult to tolerate. This traitor is secretly in high positions. People and gods are angry. You are all scholars of the Tang Dynasty and the future pillars of the country. How can you tolerate such people who are lucky enough to block the path of wise men? You, let me fight with you."
"Beat him"
I don’t know who shouted, but Dong Cai was overjoyed and shouted, “Yes, it’s just beating him…”
Before he finished speaking, he rushed up around his students, pulling Dong Cai down from the stone, and then punched and kicked him.
After being shocked, Dong Cai shouted: "I've called the wrong one and I've called the wrong one. I'm going to hit Ye Chang..."
"This guy wants to ruin Ye's reputation as a member of the army. He beat him hard, and he won't beat him up all over the mountains. I don't know why the flowers are so red."
"beat"
Du Fu was completely stunned outside, how could things turn out like this?
But immediately he realized that he could not really kill someone. If he died, no matter who he was killed, there would be big trouble for any party.
"Don't beat, don't beat..." he shouted.
"This guy is a friend and Dong Caiyi, fight together."
"Ah" Seeing that the situation was not good, Du Fu turned around and ran away. He had a bad relationship with Dong Cai, and he was not satisfied with such behavior and ran without any pressure. It was also thanks to the idea that life lies in movement when he was with Ye Chang. Du Fu had a good physical fitness and ran like a flash of smoke, and he was hiding in the blink of an eye.
However, his escape attracted more attention from people here, so someone came to persuade him to fight. Dong Cai curled up on the ground with his head in his arms, and there was still a lot of scolding around him. Even the person who was trying to fight was scolding him, and he felt inexplicably sad and angry: What's wrong with this world?
After the people dispersed for a while, he got up from the ground, limped and walked along the wall. People passing by around him pointed at him. He vaguely heard someone say, "It's this guy, it's really a villain."
"Ye Zhanjun said that he is operating the country in front, and there are always villains behind the scenes of arrows hurting people..."
"That is, if the court does not need profit, why should tax be collected? If officials do not need profit, why should they receive salary? If the people do not need profit, do not weave or farm, how can they have food and clothing in the world... He actually said that Ye Zongjun was profit-oriented. If this was not a stupid person who starved to death, he would be a person with ulterior motives."
After hearing this discussion, Dong Cai felt that he understood something.
After leaving the Imperial Academy, when he saw Du Fu in front of him, Dong Cai said angrily: "Du Zimei, why didn't you help me just now?"
Du Fu looked at Dong Cai with a strange look on his face: "How can I help you? Dozens of people are surrounding me, how can I help?"
"But you shouldn't just run away."
"I just ran away. I went to inquire just now. Do you know why you were beaten?"
"It's not all the students in the Imperial Academy who are crazy about gaining and losing their hearts... Why do you think, ah, could it be... they were bewitched by Ye Chang?"
Du Fu smiled bitterly.
Why was it just bewitched by Ye Chang? Ye Chang came earlier than them and mobilized people to invite the teachers and doctors of the Imperial Academy to summon students and give a brief speech. The content of the speech was nothing more than Ye Chang's border plan, a strategy to strengthen the country and enrich the people. The most important thing was that Ye Chang announced that he would donate more than 40,000 books of the Five Classics and other books to the Imperial College. On average, almost five books were used for more than five. He also announced that the Tang Dynasty Imperial College Teaching and Assistance Award was set up, which would be 10,000 yuan a year to reward professors and students in the Imperial College.
In other words, Ye Chang bribed the entire Imperial College from top to bottom.
The entire expenditure was only 20,000 yuan, but for some poor teachers and students of the Imperial College, it was a big advantage. Ye Changcai left, and Dong Cai came to criticize Ye Chang for being profit-oriented. Isn’t it said that the Imperial College is also profit-oriented? Isn’t it damaging everyone’s personal gain?
"Is this OK?" Dong Cai opened his mouth wide and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"He did this..." Du Fu smiled bitterly: "This is his style... I'll kill you with money."
"No, no, how could he reach his hand to the Imperial College?"
"Why can't you? Do you know who is running for him?" Du Fu sighed: "Zhang Hao is running for him... That's the disciple of Duke Wu."
Wu Jing was a master of historian at this time and worked in the History Museum for more than 30 years. Zhang Hao was also a famous sage hidden in the city. He came forward to make the matter happen. Although it took a lot of trouble, it was finally done.
"But... in this way, how should we report to Li Shaoqing?"
"How else can I get a job, just tell the truth." Du Fu waved his sleeves: "Forget it, I won't participate in this matter..."
He left after he said that, and did not even say goodbye to Dong Cai. But after walking a few steps, he turned back: "No, let's go to see Li Shaoqing with you... I have a few words to persuade him."
The two of them arrived at Li's mansion, but they did not dare to walk through the main entrance, so they went around to the side door and were waiting to ask the doorman to report, but they saw several people supporting each other. They saw that they were just like them and were trying to encourage Shi Lin Qing to discuss. Judging from their appearance, they were all in a very embarrassing manner, almost comparable to Dong Cai. There were still a few people, with blood scars on their faces, which looked like they were scratched by the sharp fingers of their female lady.
"You guys..."
"Oh, Motimoti..."
Everyone looked at each other and knew that they were each other. They shook their heads and sighed, and their faces were even more cried: "Even those in the brothels dared to scratch our faces. They said that we were not masculine and would not be ashamed of others. They also said that we were only thinking about sending our daughter-in-law and sister to the Fanhu marriage, so we did not allow Ye Shiyi to attack Hu..."
"It seems that Ye Chang was prepared for a long time," someone suddenly said.
"I'm prepared for a long time, and I don't know who leaked the news."
Everyone is not stupid. Wherever they go, they are hit by Ye Chang's supporters. It is obvious that Ye Chang has known what they have done.
Everyone discussed a few words, but thought about it and reported to Li Xiao, waiting for Li Xiao to come to make an idea. Shortly after asking the doorman to report, Li Xiao invited them to enter and meet them in a side courtyard of Li's mansion.
Seeing their embarrassing appearance, Li Xiao, who was originally smiling, suddenly changed his color: "Why do you all look like this... Could it be that you have ruined my trick?"
"Shaoqing, don't make a clever plan. Ye Shiyi is prepared. Wherever we go, others are waiting for the villain who criticizes and spreads rumors to come and ask for a fight."
"Spreading rumors? This is a rumor that turns the truth. How come it is a rumor?" Li Xiao was furious: "It's not that you are doing things inappropriately... it's impossible for someone to see through it. This is the clever plan I came up with. How can it be seen through?"
He was so excited that he was a little out of control. Seeing him like this, Du Fu couldn't help but sigh secretly.
In terms of age, Li Xiao is two bigger than Ye Chang, but in terms of courage and wisdom, he is a world of difference compared to Ye Chang. His father Li Shizhi has been a high-ranking official since he was a child, so he has been used to it smoothly. At this age of 1980, he is still so frivolous.
Just now at the Taixue, Du Fu had confirmed that Li Xiao was definitely not Ye Chang's opponent. Not to mention Ye Chang was prepared, even if he was unprepared, Li Xiao's trick could only cause more trouble by Ye Chang. He could see the essence of Li Xiao's awkwardness and no longer placed his hope of eliminating defilements on such people, and decided to keep a distance from Li Xiao. But after all, Du Fu was nostalgic for a relationship, and really didn't want Li Xiao to suffer greater losses in Ye Chang's hands.
Therefore, he coughed lightly: "Shaoqing, everyone has tried their best. Ye Shiyi is very wise. Such a method is used to him..."
"Stop, are you saying I am not as good as Ye Chang? I, the son of the prime minister, and the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, would I be worse than Ye Chang's person who carries the grain?" Li Xiao stopped Du Fu's explanation. He glared at everyone, and then turned around and said, "Someone must have leaked the news, so that Ye Chang is prepared, this traitor..."
As he spoke, his suspicious eyes looked at Du Fu, and Du Fu's heart jumped. Sure enough, Li Xiao smiled and said, "Du Zimei, I remember that you have always had good friends with Ye Chang, but later you got into evil because of Li Beihai, right?"
Du Fu was silent, and Dong Cai jumped up and said, "That's right, right, I said why when I arrived at the Imperial Academy, I was beaten, but Du Zimei was completely fine. It must be that he had collusion with Ye Chang, he was a traitor."
Du Fu's face was pale, and everyone stared at him angrily. Even though he didn't really suspect that he was a traitor in his heart, he had to draw a clear line with Du Fu at this moment, so as not to be considered by Li Xiao as an insult.
"Du Zimei, do you think you are a spy sent by Ye Chang?" someone asked.
"I'm not..." Du Fu looked up and replied.
"Aren't you? You just tell me if you leaked my plan to Ye Chang?" Li Xiao's eyes almost spit out of fire: "You said"
With his anger, thugs on both sides approached Du Fu with fierce eyes. Du Fu's lips squirmed, but he didn't know how to answer.
He could firmly deny that he was a spy sent by Ye Chang, but this question made him hesitate.
Just as he was about to answer, suddenly there were rapid footsteps and someone shouted: "No, no, no, He, you two are gone."
"What?" Li Xiao heard the news and temporarily put Du Fu aside, turned around and shouted to the people: "Don't panic, just say it clearly if you have something to do."
"Just just now, Shaoqing ordered the villain to invite He. Fei and the other two came, so the villain went to their mansion. But when he came in, he found that it was empty inside. He Fei and both were not here." The visitor gasped and said, "Not only the two of them were not here, even their families left. They packed up the gold, silver and soft materials at home, leaving only the empty house..."
He and Fei were originally a property other than Li's mansion. They were very close to Li's mansion and were just living with them. When Li Xiao heard the news, he felt that his forehead was as painful as a crack. Venus appeared in front of him, and his throat was sweet and fishy.
"He, two dog thieves, it turns out... they are traitors." His roaring voice echoed in this side courtyard of Li's mansion.
