Chapter Ninety-One
At a gathering of more than four hundred people, it was expected that quarrels and even fights would occur, but such trivial matters would not alarm the Holy Master.
When Wang Shuang, the attendant, saw that this person was a minister from the province, he shouted: "I'm confused, such a trivial matter has come to disturb the Holy Master and he still won't retreat."
The Ming Dynasty hesitated a little and glanced at Zuo Pu She Wang Xun. King Sima Daozi of Kuaiji thought for a moment that it was the Wang family that was fighting.
Sima Daozi smiled and said: "Long live, I'm bored just sitting around. You might as well call me in and ask. If you are unreasonable, you will be punished by writing a poem. If you can't do it, you will be punished by drinking a fight of wine."
This is an elegant matter, Sima Yao said with a smile: "I will follow the emperor's brother and announce the people who are fighting to the court."
Yang Anxuan followed Wang Chunzhi and others to the hall, and everyone bowed to the emperor.
When Sima Yao saw Wang Chunzhi looking like a drowned rat, he laughed and said, "Who are you, sir? Why is this so?"
Everyone in the hall recognized the disciples of the Wang family. When Che Yin saw Yang Anxuan at a glance, he was secretly annoyed. He was a registered disciple with outstanding talent and learning, but his ability to cause trouble was not inferior to Cai Xue.
A corner of the curtain behind the Emperor was lifted, and a small head poked out, looking into the hall.
Wang Chunzhi had never seen the emperor, and because of the coldness in his wet clothes, he became even more trembling and unable to speak completely, "Wei Chen...Wang Chunzhi, Langya..."
Wang Xun saw that one of the parties to the dispute was his own son, so he stood up and bowed and said: "Long live, these six people are all my descendants from the Wang family."
He pointed his finger at Wang Chunzhi, who was in wet clothes, and said: "This son is Wang Chunzhi, the grandson of Wang Caozhi and the son of Wang Xuanzhi, the prefect of Jin'an."
Sima Yao glanced at Yang Anxuan, feeling angry and funny in his heart. This kid is really a troublemaker. He will be there wherever trouble comes.
Hearing his uncle's explanation for him, Wang Chunzhi became more courageous and said in a sharp voice: "Wei Chen, Wang Chunzhi, sue Yang Anxuan for pushing Wei Chen into the pond for no reason. Long live the decision for Wei Chen."
The little head behind the curtain shrank back, and Princess Poyang, who was pulled back by her sister, said angrily: "That Wang Chunzhi is lying. I clearly saw him jumping into the pool by himself."
Wang Xin, Wang Ru and others all talked about how they met Yang Anxuan in the corridor and how Yang Anxuan pushed Wang Xuanzhi into the pool for no reason.
Yang Anxuan stood with his hands folded, but he was thinking about how to prove his innocence. The Wang family framed him in front of the king. If he didn't handle it well, disaster would be imminent.
Wang Xun was furious. If Yang Anxuan was too rude according to what his nephew said, he saluted the emperor and said: "Please be the master of my Wang family and severely punish the Yang family's son."
Sima Yao is very displeased. This Yang Anxuan has caused trouble many times. It is in vain that I want to cultivate him. This chrysanthemum appreciation party is for me to select a son-in-law for Jinling. Yang Anxuan actually fights against the Wang family and disrupts the elegant gathering. This is unbearable.
.
Seeing the emperor's gloomy face, Che Yin hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Long live, you will be enlightened if you listen at the same time. Let's hear what Yang Anxuan said?"
Sima Yao's face was as dark as water, and he said coldly: "Yang Anxuan, do you know your guilt?"
Yang Anxuan secretly thought that it was not good. Before the emperor could ask about the situation, he preconceived the idea that he was guilty and that he would be unlucky.
He concentrated his mind, bowed and said: "Long live, I have two things I would like to ask the Wang family's descendants, and I would like to ask Long live for a final decision."
Seeing Sima Yao nodding, Yang Anxuan said again: "Please let Wang Chunzhi change out of his wet clothes first to avoid getting cold."
Sima Yao's expression softened a little. Thinking of this, he still had a clear conscience and signaled his attendants to lead Wang Chunzhi out of the hall to change clothes.
After Wang Chunzhi left, Yang Anxuan faced the remaining five Wang family disciples and said, "You said that Yu pushed Wang Chunzhi into the water. Did Yu use his hands or feet?"
"Hands", "You used your feet", the answers were mixed.
Wang Xun's expression changed and he glared at his disciple fiercely. Everyone in the palace immediately understood that Yang Anxuan's story of pushing Wang Chunzhi into the water was false.
Yang Anxuan asked again: "Did you push Wang Chunzhi's shoulders or chest?"
The Wang family members looked at each other and did not answer immediately. Wang Xin knew something was wrong and said first, "It's the chest."
"Yes, it's the chest." Other Wang family members agreed.
"The stupid push was on Wang Chunzhi's chest, so Wang Chunzhi should have fallen backward. Then why did Wang Chunzhi fall sideways into the water?" Yang Anxuan asked forcefully.
The Wang family's children were speechless.
Yang Anxuan turned around and bowed to the emperor and said: "Long live, wait until Wang Chunzhi changes clothes and comes back, and you will know the truth of the matter by asking him again."
Sima Yao smiled and nodded. Unexpectedly, Yang Anxuan was a little quick-witted. Now it seems that Yang Anxuan was framed by the Wang family's children.
Wang Xun was angry and annoyed. He glared at Yang Anxuan viciously and sat back at the table.
Princess Poyang, who was eavesdropping behind the curtain, turned her head back, excitedly explained what Yang Anxuan had said, and said with a smile: "This black charcoal head is so smart."
Wang Guobao looked at Yang Anxuan, who was standing in the hall, with cold eyes. This boy was just as the review said, "he is talented in both civil and military affairs, and can be called a pillar." In time, he would definitely become a nuisance to his confidants, and he would never allow him to grow up easily.
Although he had a bad relationship with Wang Xun, Wang Guobao decided to help Wang Xun compared to Yang Anxuan, who was a disaster.
Wang Guobao said: "Long live, the incident happened suddenly, and it is possible that the Wang family's children did not see it clearly for a while. I think Yang Anxuan is a clever talker, and he pretends to be wrong. The Wang family's children always intend to frame Yang Anxuan."
Wang Xun was secretly annoyed. Wang Guobao's words contained murderous intent. Literally, it meant that Yang Anxuan was lying, but upon closer inspection, it implied that his own son was framed, killing two birds with one stone, and with vicious intentions.
Wang Chunzhi combed his hair, changed clothes, and entered the hall. He didn't know that things had changed. He saw Wang Xin and others winking at him, and he didn't know why.
Sima Yao glanced at Wang Xun, who had a livid face. He was one of his closest confidants, and he had to take some care of the Wang family's face in public.
"The children are noisy, so don't disturb the elegant chrysanthemum appreciation. Wang Tanheng, you can receive the masterpieces from the scholars and let the musicians and singers play and sing." Sima Yao ordered.
When changing clothes just now, Wang Chunzhi had been immersed in the pleasure of revenge on Yang Anxuan. He wanted to drive Yang Anxuan out of the Imperial Academy and pay back the shame of the lecture hall a hundred times. How happy he was.
Wang Chunzhi was shocked to hear that the emperor no longer asked Yang Anxuan any more questions. Wang Chunzhi was greatly disappointed and forgot about himself and shouted: "Long live, please make the decision for the humble minister and severely punish Yang Anxuan."
Wang Xun wished he could get up and kick this grandson to death. If he failed to accomplish anything, he would be ruined. The emperor clearly intended to cover up the Wang family, and this kid was still going to cause trouble.
Sima Daozi smiled and asked: "Wang Chunzhi, you said Yang Anxuan pushed you into the water, did he push you with his hands or feet, and where?"
Wang Chunzhi said: "He pushed Yu's shoulder with his hand."
Wang Guobao smiled and reminded: "Wang Chunzhi, you must remember clearly, don't believe the nonsense."
At this time, Wang Chunzhi had seen his brother's face clearly and knew that things had happened again. He had an idea and said: "Yu was joking with his brothers at that time, and he didn't notice how Yang Anxuan pushed Yu into the water."
Wang Xun stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, thinking that Wang Chunzhi was not that stupid yet. So far, he could only insist that it was Yang Anxuan who pushed him into the water.
Behind the curtain, Princess Poyang was so angry that she wanted to get out and testify for Yang Anxuan, but Princess Jinling held her tightly and sat on the table with her lips pouted, biting shortbread and sulking.
In the lobby, Yang Anxuan looked at Wang Chunzhi who acted like a scoundrel and said with a smile: "Since Brother Wang said this, there is a way to tell the truth from the false."
Reaching out from under his left wrist, he took out the beads given by Master Huiyuan. Yang Anxuan held the beads in his hand and said, "This beads were given by Master Huiyuan of Donglin Temple when he accepted me as a lay disciple. I have followed the master for many years and have become quite enlightened."
.”
Most of the people in the seat believed in Buddhism, and even Sima Yao was moved and said: "Send it up for me to see."
Sima Yao played with it for a moment and then handed the beads to Sima Daozi beside him. The beads passed around among the people in the lobby for a quarter of an hour.
Sima Yao smiled and said: "Master Huiyuan is an eminent Buddhist monk. It is a great opportunity for you to be accepted as a lay disciple by Master Huiyuan. You should cherish it."
Che Yin stroked his beard and thought, why does he, a registered disciple, like to worship his master everywhere? Young boy Yang is a treasure, and he can pass on the mantle to me. I have to find an excuse to take him into my disciples earlier. If someone takes him away, I will regret it.
It's too late.
The beads returned to Yang Anxuan's hands. Yang Anxuan held the beads in his hand and said: "This Buddha beads has been twisted and chanted by the master day and night. He can discern the hidden things in people's hearts. Put it in a secret box. If you have evil thoughts in your mind, the beads will be
Burning his hands."
As soon as he finished speaking, exclamations of surprise broke out in the lobby, and Sima Yao exclaimed: "Really?"
Yang Anxuan said with a smile: "You will know once you try it. Wang Chunzhi didn't insist that he pushed him into the water. Long live, you might as well let him reach into the secret room to hold this Buddha bead to see if he will be burned."
"Okay, Wang Chunzhi, let's try it with the beads." Sima Yao said with great interest.
Wang Chunzhi's face turned pale. He was influenced by his family to believe in the Taoism of Heavenly Masters, but he also believed in Buddhism. He was afraid to try it because of ghosts in his heart.
Yang Anxuan smiled and said: "Long live, the Buddhist beads need to be placed in a wooden box to be effective. They need to pray beforehand. To show fairness, Yu will pray to Dr. Che Gong, the son of the country. Both Yu and Wang Chunzhi are students of the country.
Mr. Che is an upright man and will not be biased. How about letting Mr. Che supervise this matter?"
Sima Yao nodded in agreement: "Very good."
Yang Anxuan walked to Che Yin, leaned down and whispered in Che Yin's ear for a while.
Che Yin glanced at Yang Anxuan with wide eyes and said, "Are you serious? In this case, I will act as you say."
He stood up, saluted the emperor, and walked out of the hall. After a while, Che Yin came in holding a wooden box about a foot square, which was covered with brocade.
Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Chunzhi. Wang Chunzhi felt invisible pressure and took half a step back.
A little head poked out from behind the curtain, staring intently at the scene in the lobby.
Che Yin placed the secret box on the ground, walked around it three times, and muttered something. After he stood still, he said to Wang Chunzhi: "Wang Chunzhi, put your hand into the box and hold the beads to verify the authenticity of what you said."
Looking at the gazes from all around, Wang Chunzhi knew there was no way out, gritted his teeth and put his hand into the box.
After a while, Wang Chunzhi took out his hand from the brocade, opened his hand and gestured around: "Yu's hand is not injured at all, which means Yu is not lying. Yang Anxuan, what else can you say?"
Che Yin coldly cursed "idiot", came to the emperor with the wooden box in hand, and uncovered the brocade covering it.
Sima Yao looked inside and saw that there were not Buddhist beads inside, but a piece of red cinnabar. There was no trace of red on Wang Chunzhi's hands, indicating that he put his hand into the box and was not holding anything at all.
Wang Xun hurriedly left the table and prostrated himself, saying: "I have been lax in my upbringing, so long live my punishment."
However, Wang Guobao said darkly: "Yang Anxuan dares to tease Long Live and commits the crime of deceiving the emperor. He should be executed."
The little head behind the curtain was frightened and shrank back in fear.
Sima Yao smiled and said: "Why should we take children's play seriously? Just let Che Qing discipline him strictly. Wang Qing, please get up and go back to the table."
