Chapter two hundred and fortieth Guan Wenyuan
"Prime Minister, we were all forced, and those materials were not our original intention!"
When those people saw what Xie Ji said, they immediately knelt down. If they had known they would be dismissed from office, they would not have done anything.
Are there any regret medicines still available for sale now?
Xie Ji didn't say anything when he saw this scene. He just walked straight into the Prime Minister's Mansion and ordered the guards to drive all the people away. If they continued to gather in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they would be sent directly to the government and charged with provoking trouble.
.
Those people were frightened and did not expect Xie Ji to be so tough this time.
Xie Ji, no matter what they do, the reason why he does this is to let the world see it. When signing, you must open your eyes wide. Every piece of material you sign is closely related to you.
If something goes wrong, you must be held responsible.
It was still early in the afternoon, and Xie Ji sighed that the ancient times were really good. As the prime minister, he could skip work at any time. As long as he wanted to, he could not work for a day. Of course, this had to be done under the condition that everything was settled.
After Xie Ji returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the rumors about him outside were further stirred up.
Wang Cen, as the revision chief of the classics, discussed with others in Guanwen Academy.
In Guanwen Academy, talents gathered, heroes gathered, and famous scholars gathered together.
There was a lot of discussion about this incident of revising the classics. Not only did they talk about the accidental revision of the classics, but they also talked about how Xie Ji had dismissed 108 officials today. It was simply arrogant.
"My lords, I think it is better to write a memorial together, sign your names, and submit it to His Majesty."
Someone then made a suggestion. Before that, someone had anonymously impeached Xie Ji. Hundreds of copies of the memorial had been accumulated in Weiyang Palace.
Perhaps because they feel that anonymity is not enough, someone now suggests a signature contest. As long as every official signs their name, there is no fear that His Majesty will ignore it.
"Do you think it's effective?" Wang Cen retorted. The memorials to impeach Xie Ji are flying everywhere, and Weiyang Palace is not surrounded by those memorials every day, but do you think it is effective? The emperor ignored it, and you wrote hundreds of them, but it's still useless.
.
"I think you can go to Weiyang Palace together to let His Majesty punish Xie Ji. I don't believe that Your Majesty dares to oppose the whole world." Someone continued to suggest that if the world's literati work together, he does not believe that Xie Ji can continue to be free.
If Xie Ji is not eradicated, the harm will be endless. Only after all Xie Ji is eradicated can we usher in real great governance.
"You are crazy. You still don't understand His Majesty's character." Wang Cen raised his head and said angrily.
If you do that, the gain outweighs the loss. Threatening Your Majesty, threatening Your Majesty, do you not want to live anymore?
Your Majesty, how can you threaten me? When the time comes, you will have to go in with me.
Look, Wei Guangwei was demoted to Yongzhou as a county magistrate by His Majesty just because his blood was spilled in the palace. It would be fine if he were a county magistrate in other counties, but what kind of place is Yongzhou? It is a land of barbarians, full of mosquitoes and surrounded by ferocious beasts.
Not only that, but the local accent there is different, the place is poor, and all of them are barbaric people. It is an uncivilized place.
And once I go, I don’t know when I will be able to come back.
From this incident, it can be seen that what the emperor hates most is that everyone gathers in front of the Weiyang Palace to admonish him. This stimulates his rebellious psychology. When the time comes, he will completely push Xie Ji's side, but he can't even cry.
Nowhere to go.
"Then what should we do, just let Xie Ji do whatever he wants?" Those people refused to accept it and asked them to watch Xie Ji being lawless, which made them angry.
"Don't worry, Xie Ji is going to revise his law. This law cannot be completed in a year and a half." Wang Cen said, this law is more troublesome than these classics, and he just threw these classics to Those were great scholars, but Xie Ji couldn't just throw that law to others.
"Yeah." Someone immediately understood that the law is not a simple matter. Since Xie Ji took the lead in revising the law, he could make people obstruct it, or think of some crooked ideas and make some articles in the law. Unless Xie Jiaotiao has reviewed it, there are always some people who can get away with it.
If Xie Jizhen were to compare things one by one, wouldn't he be too busy with other things? Unless he could still have three heads and six arms, this would really make him busy to death.
He is bringing trouble upon himself.
"Where's Shangshu Meng? Why didn't he come?" A great scholar finally realized that Meng Tao, who was appointed as Shangshu by Xie Ji, didn't come. The invitation letter was sent to him. If he didn't come, he wouldn't know why.
"No matter what he does, Xie Ji is a lackey." Another person said, it would be better if he didn't come, otherwise he would be criticized to death.
"Meng Shangshu has arrived." Just as he said, Meng Tao came over slowly with a smile on his face and a book in his hand.
"Everyone, I apologize for being late."
But everyone ignored him. This is Guanwen Academy, where all the Confucian scholars are famous. The treatment of officials here is not like that of the powerful people outside. Some people are ashamed to be officials, so naturally they will not act in a panic. demeanor.
What's more, the teachers who can teach in Guanwen College are all famous people, and everyone here has complaints about Xie Ji.
"Meng Shangshu, please take a seat." The dean of Guanwen Academy stood up and welcomed him warmly. Although he was disdainful in his heart, he still showed a welcoming attitude on the surface. After all, this was an invitation. If he didn't want to see you, how could he do it? Not to have a reputation for being rude.
For someone who always pays attention to reputation, he will naturally not fall into the trap of others.
The place discussed this time is full of rockery and beautiful scenery, which can cultivate your sentiments and cultivate your character.
The scene blends together and it is indeed a perfect location.
The entire academy is made of wood, giving it an air of purity and clarity.
"This is my revision of The Analects. You can take a look."
Meng Tao handed the Analects of Confucius in his hand to the dean of Guanwen Academy. This act was a complete provocation to those present.
How old is he? He is less than 30 years old, yet he dares to revise the saint's article. They haven't even started writing yet, and you actually tell me that it has been revised.
Isn't this a provocation?
"You are not very young, but your knowledge is really comparable to that of us old people." Someone saw the "Analects" on the table and laughed. This sentence was sarcastic.
"My father-in-law is still afraid of future generations, but his husband must not be young." Meng Tao said without timidity. His understanding of these four books was quite thorough, and he could not revise them before they were tasted.
What's more, having seen Xie Ji's strange symbols a long time ago, he naturally distinguished the Analects of Confucius a long time ago.
Therefore, handing over "The Analects of Confucius" this time will definitely deal a blow to them.
"Frivolous, simply frivolous." After hearing Meng Tao's words, a great scholar pointed his finger at him and cursed him. He looked completely unconcerned, which made him even more angry and unable to speak.
"Did Xie Ji ask you to come to fend off us?" At this time, another celebrity said. He guessed that it was Xie Ji who asked him to fend off them.
Meng Tao didn't speak, but still looked gentle as usual. This attitude really made those people very unhappy.
"It doesn't matter. After all, you are the minister, so you still have to save some face." A great scholar said with a smile, and said to these people, although this person's tone is better, but carefully analyze the meaning behind his words, he is actually saying,
It was only thanks to Xie Jicheng that you took the position of Minister.
Virtue is not worthy of the position, and talent is not worthy of the position, how can you convince the public? Giving you face is actually just giving face to Xie Ji. If you were not a minister, who would give you face?
Wang Cen sat in the middle and did not speak. He just picked up the volume of "The Analects" on the table as if nothing had happened, opened it, and nodded from time to time.
This sentence segmentation is good, and it is still possible.
However, when I saw the sentence "The people can make it happen but not know it", my eyes froze for a moment and I looked at Meng Tao.
"Master, how are you?" The dean of Guanwen Academy asked when he saw that Wang Cen's face looked a little strange.
Wang Cen didn't say anything, but just gave him the Analects of Confucius. The dean read the sentence, then looked at Meng Tao and said, "Did you judge this sentence?"
Meng Tao shook his head calmly and said: "These words are the words of the Prime Minister."
Xie Ji? It was he who broke it?
The dean concentrated for a moment. When some of the great scholars around him saw this scene, they were a little curious, so they took the book "The Analects of Confucius" that was placed in the dean's hand and passed it around to take a look. They all looked uncomfortable after seeing it.
Then another person saw it and said: "This is a sentence that Xie Ji broke in Liu Bu a few days ago. At that time, it aroused the opposition of the officials present. However, the spread of this sentence was not very wide, but only in a small area.
It was spread inside, and the news was completely drowned out by other things."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone understood a little bit. This was Xie Jidian's sentence.
"This sentence is well broken and wonderfully broken." The dean of Guanwen Academy laughed and made everyone puzzled.
Is it a good break? A wonderful break?
This was done by Xie Ji. No matter how good the decision was, it still had to be bad.
What's more, all the sentences handed down in the world are "The people can follow it, but they can't know it." To say so is to change the traditional reading, which is a bit deviant.
Is this actually good?
No matter how good it is, you have to consider that it belongs to Xie Jidan.
"Dean, this is Xie Jijuan's fault." Someone reminded the dean that if others decided it, they would definitely not object, but Xie Jijuan's fault, this needs to be weighed carefully.
"I know, but his judgment is indeed good." The dean said with a smile. He is the dean of the academy. He is not involved in major political affairs and does not want to pay attention to those trivial matters.
He is only interested in the study of this classic. Even if he is a beggar, as long as he writes a good poem or utters a wise saying, he will be respected by him.
Therefore, regardless of whether he is loyal, traitorous, or evil, he only speaks based on his works. This sentence, honestly speaking, is indeed good, so his praise is based on the views of a pure literati.
Everyone fainted, what is this?
But even so, these people started to debate this sentence. Even some people who thought that this sentence was indeed a good sentence changed their stance after hearing that this sentence was advocated by Xie Ji. Xie Ji,
Who is he? What he said was definitely wrong.
After a while, news of what happened in Guanwen Hall reached Xie Ji.
When Xie Ji heard the report from his servants, he didn't expect that this happened at Guanwen Academy. He was really surprised.
It's too much to start arguing over a sentence. The ancients were really weird.
Chapter completed!
