Chapter 86: The Rule of Man
Mr. Wu is completely angry. As a celebrity, although he has to argue with others, this is all based on the respect given to him by others. And who is Xu Qian in front of him? The two of them are not opponents of the same magnitude at all.
, Xu Qian actually dared to speak nonsense.
Xu Qian, however, continued to discuss academic matters with him very seriously: "Filial piety is the first of all virtues. Shouldn't the emperor be filial and the princes not be filial?"
Mr. Wu sneered and said: "The emperor is the father and mother of the people. Diligence in government is regarded as kindness, and benefiting the people is regarded as virtue. I have never heard of the emperor being filial. You kid with a yellow mouth, distorting the meaning of the scriptures, why don't you keep silent?"
In fact, what Mr. Wu said makes sense. At least in the Four Books and Five Classics, there are no allusions about the emperor's filial piety. After all, when the emperor ascends the throne, it means that his father has passed away. Even his father is gone, so why should he perform filial piety? For common people, Confucianism
Filial piety is the standard, but for the emperor, morality is the standard. Mr. Wu is here to fight for his disciples, so naturally he completely denies the intention of Xu Qian's article.
Xu Qian smiled at this time, and his eyes fell on Gui E, as if it was up to you.
Gui E had been watching with cold eyes before, but at this moment she finally couldn't sit still.
Gui E was making a huge bet with his life and fortune, and the bet was on the emperor's filial piety. It turned out that the current emperor Jiajing inherited the throne from his cousin Zhengde. As the son of a human being, the emperor Jiajing naturally hoped that his biological father would become the emperor.
He enjoyed the ancestral temple, but the officials were dissatisfied and insisted that the emperor recognize his cousin as his father. Emperor Jiajing had just ascended the throne and was not yet firmly established. At this time, he just swallowed his anger and did not have an attack now.
Therefore, not many people know about this sharp conflict now. At least in Hangzhou, there are very few people who know the inside story. Gui E is risking his own future this time, betting that this etiquette will be put on the table sooner or later.
The stage became the fuse for the conflict between the emperor and the entire cabinet and court. Therefore, Xu Qian's article focused on the emperor's filial piety as the first theme and used it to create momentum and influence.
It can be said that the emperor's filial piety is Gui E's trump card and his stepping stone. On this point, he can never question or deny it. Now that Mr. Wu is talking nonsense about Xu Qian's arguments, he has touched Gui E's bottom line.
In fact, from the beginning, Mr. Wu thought it was an academic discussion. He never imagined that everything he said and did was discussing the most fundamental and contradictory political issues of the Jiajing Dynasty.
On this 'major issue of right and wrong', Gui E had no choice but to take a stand. With a livid face, he snorted and said: "Mr. Wu, I have always respected you as a famous person in this province and treated you with great respect. However,
You talk nonsense about state affairs and talk nonsense without knowing the importance of it. Come... drive this person named Wu out!"
Several police officers outside immediately rushed in and were about to drive people away.
Mr. Wu was stunned. He realized that he had not said anything taboo, and what he just said came from the classics of saints. How could this be called arrogant and ignorant? What kind of person is he? He has always been admired by others, but now he is
Being kicked out of the yamen by being promoted as an academic officer would be even more uncomfortable than killing him. He couldn't help but get angry and said: "Master Gui... you... you and Xu Qian are the same as each other. Haha, I understand.
turn out to be……"
Gui E turned around and suddenly showed his cold side, shouting categorically: "Fight him out!"
"Wait a minute!" At this time, Xu Qian shouted for the first time and said quickly: "Sir, although Mr. Wu is seeking fame and reputation, he is a scholar after all. To kick him out of the yamen would be an insult to our gentleness..."
Gui E glanced at Xu Qian in astonishment. With his ability to recognize people, he would never have imagined that Xu Qian had such a merciful and forgiving temperament. Could it be that he had misjudged it?
Mr. Wu was angry and confused, and found Xu Qian's change of attitude puzzling.
The officers paused for a moment and waited for Gui E's instructions again.
Xu Qian immediately said: "But the student remembers that Emperor Taizu once issued an edict: "Anything that benefits the military and the people, and no one is allowed to comment on it. If there is anything that benefits the military and the people, there should be officials, ambitious men, simple farmers, and merchants.
All skills can be discussed. No one is allowed to hinder him, except students. If students remember correctly, Mr. Wu was born in Juren. Although he is not a student, he should be classified as a student. He talks about state affairs and speaks nonsense.
, has violated Taizu's edict, you should know the canonical punishment, obey the ancestral law, and serve as a warning to others. The law of the Ming Dynasty once said that if there is anyone who has no official status and talks about state affairs arbitrarily, he will be yokeed and exiled thousands of miles away. Your Excellency, everyone governs
Rather than rule by law, adults should rule by law. Only in this way can people be impressed."
Mr. Wu became furious and shouted: "Xu Qian, I and you are incompatible with each other!"
This man surnamed Xu clearly wanted to put him to death, and actually moved out Taizu's edict. Now we have reached the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and Taizu's so-called laws are nothing. Now that the atmosphere is open, there is nothing to say.
?Emperor Taizu also said that scholars, farmers, and merchants, merchants were the lowest and were not allowed to wear silk. But now which merchant on the street is not wearing silk?
But if you really want to think about it, Taizu's edict is an ancestral law after all, so it is not impossible to deal with it this way.
Xu Qian hoped with all his heart that Gui E would be able to spread his bastard spirit and kill Mr. Wu completely so that no one would worry about him in the future. However, at this time, Gui E narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not reveal his expression. He just said in a calm tone:
"Someone, beat Mr. Wu out!"
It's better to fight out. Xu Qian's heart was full of disappointment, but he had no choice but to complain. No wonder it is called an evil feudal society, where the rule of man is greater than the rule of law, and even the ancestors are no longer around.
Mr. Wu was lifted up like a chicken by a stout servant and thrown out.
Mr. Wu was in such a state of embarrassment that he fell at the entrance of the yamen. Several disciples were frightened when they saw this and rushed forward to help him. However, Mr. Wu completely lost his mind and cursed loudly: "A bunch of raccoons, working together in treason!"
There were many people gathered outside. Although he was scolding him happily at this time, Mr. Wu was a person who wanted to face him after all. He knew in his heart that before long, what happened today would be spread throughout Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and his old face was completely beaten.
Swollen.
Not long after, Xu Qian came out of the Yamen. Mr. Wu's face was red and he wanted to pounce on him. He bared his teeth and yelled: "Xu Qian, just wait and see, I and you are incompatible." Several disciples stopped him, but he didn't.
Let him do something extreme.
Xu Qian just smiled slightly and said: "This is strange. It is clearly because you are seeking fame and reputation that you have angered Tixue in this province. Tixue was so angry that he kicked you out, but you come to blame me? Let's judge. This surname is
Because his disciple did not take the first place in the intermediate college examination, Wu went to attend the event in front of the academic officer. As a result, the academic officer was too upright and ignored him, so he started to talk nonsense. Now he wants to be incompatible with Xu. Your surname is
Wu’s is a bit too domineering.”
Seeing that Xu Qian was confusing right and wrong, Mr. Wu was so angry that he beat his chest and fell down, and just cursed: "A dog is talented, a dog is talented!"
Xu Qian looked at him coldly and said: "You said you want to be incompatible with me, so what if we are incompatible with each other? I can step on you today, and I can still step on you tomorrow and the day after. Don't think that you are a great person just because you are a civil servant. I
Although he is born with nature, he has never been afraid of violence. Things in this world are nothing more than justice, and justice can be found in the world!"
The implication is that Mr. Wu uses his power to suppress others and pretends to be a weak person, but he is not afraid of violence and resists the powerful.
It's a pity that Mr. Wu usually has a sharp tongue and can confuse right and wrong. But at this time, he was so angry that he had been blinded by his anger. He could only yell at Xu Qian for being such a bastard. He was so shameless.
if.
When those who came to see the list saw the battle, they crowded over to watch. Several of Mr. Wu's disciples saw that something was wrong, so they had to drag their teacher away for fear of being laughed at.
Now that Mr. Wu has left, Xu Qian suddenly lost interest and took Deng Jian on the carriage to meet Zhao Mengting. He was in a happy mood at this time. He became Xiao Sanyuan's natural talent and punished Mr. Wu severely.
