The few scholars came straight towards Li Huan and Wang Yangming with a very clear purpose, and there was a wind blowing under their feet as they walked. Even if Li Huan and Wang Yangming were slow to react, they could still notice it.
What's more, the hostility of these scholars is so clear. Li Huan and Wang Yangming are both rare strong men in the world. If they can't even detect this hostility, wouldn't all their cultivation be in vain?
After a pause, Li Huan and Wang Yangming looked at each other first, and then both looked at the few scholars who were approaching.
The leader looked to be about thirty years old, and he was considered an elder among the scholars, so he was vaguely the leader of these scholars.
Wu Shi'an is from Songjiang Prefecture, Zhejiang Province. His family has been doing business for generations, and he is a well-known local gentry.
When businessmen got rich, the first thing they thought about was how to protect their family business, so they started to set up clan schools and paid high prices to invite established scholars to teach the children of the clan. As long as there were people in the clan who were outstanding in character and learning, they would spend all their money.
I will fully support him to take the imperial examination.
Wu Shi'an is one of the most outstanding direct descendants of the Wu family. He was a high school candidate in the 17th year of Hongzhi's reign, and he can be regarded as a student with great fame.
Just passing the examination seemed to have exhausted Wu Shi'an's luck, but he failed in the next examination and failed to achieve his dream of becoming a high school Jinshi.
Only by passing the Jinshi examination can you have a bright future in the Ming Dynasty officialdom. Otherwise, you will not be able to go far in the Ming Dynasty officialdom just by being a candidate.
Therefore, Wu Shian spent money to establish connections and gave money, and finally entered the world-famous Songyang Academy.
Not only is Songyang Academy famous all over the world, but the teachers there are all officials who were former high school Jinshi, and there are even a third-rank minister who lectures and teaches here.
Whether it is to learn knowledge here that will help you in your scientific examination, or you hope to use the connections of the well-established gentlemen in the academy to enter the officialdom one day, or you want to make a group of like-minded friends in this academy.
, so that they can take care of each other when they enter the officialdom in the future.
Anyway, all the students who can enter here have their own purposes and plans. Therefore, even though Songyang Academy seems to have many students, in fact, every student who enters here has his or her own origin and background.
These scholars also pay great attention to everyone who enters Songyang Academy. Whenever a new person enters the academy, they will definitely be the object of attention of many students.
It is conceivable that when Li Huan and Wang Yangming entered the academy, how many scholars paid attention to them.
Wu Shi'an walked up to the two of them and looked at Li Huan and Wang Yangming up and down. It seemed that he did not see any scholarly temperament in Li Huan. Wu Shi'an couldn't help but shouted at Li Huan:
"You guys, don't you know that this is Songyang Academy, a place where saints teach, and it is not a place where ordinary people can come and go at will."
He pointed to the door and said, "You two, please leave."
Li Huan ignored Wu Shi'an and the others. Instead, he looked at Wang Yangming with a smile and said, "Mr. Yangming, do you think we should continue going in?"
Wang Yangming couldn't help but sigh when he saw Li Huan's smiling face. He stepped forward and raised his hands to Wu Shi'an and others and said, "Everyone, Wang Shouren is also a scholar. I have admired the name of Songyang Academy for a long time. Today I came here with my friends to pay my respects."
…”
Upon hearing this, Wu Shi'an couldn't help but look Wang Yangming up and down, and finally said: "Oh, so you are also a scholar, but who told you that a scholar can enter and leave Songyang Academy at will. This is the holy place for scholars of our generation.
Without the status of a scholar, there is no way you can step into the gate of Songyang Academy."
Obviously, Wang Yangming was not a sage who later became famous all over the world. He had just mastered what he had learned and had not yet begun to give lectures and recruit disciples to spread the theory of mind. Therefore, these scholars had never heard of Wang Yangming's name at all.
Li Huan on the side couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He looked at Wang Yangming with interest and thought to himself, decades later, when Wang Yangming's name is famous all over the world, if the scholar who scolded Wang Yangming is still alive,
I don't know what I will feel in my heart.
Wang Yangming was not angry at all, but just sighed: "Sages teach all living beings, teaching without distinction. Why do you think they have superiority and inferiority in your mouth? Does it mean that we can't enter Songyang Academy if we are not scholars?"
A scholar next to him immediately said disdainfully: "You are not even a scholar, and you still want to enter Songyang Academy. You are simply desecrating such a holy place."
Wang Yangming took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at the few scholars and said: "I also asked the chief of this court to come here, saying that the unknown scholar wants to ask him for advice."
Seeing Wang Yangming's extraordinary demeanor, especially the way he remained calm when angry, it calmed several of the scholars.
These gentlemen, you look at me and I look at you. Suddenly, Wu Shi'an glanced at Wang Yangming and Li Huan with disdain and said, "You are not qualified to see Mr. Yuan Zheng.
The magistrate of Dengfeng County is here, whether Mr. Yuanzheng wants to see him or not depends on Mr. Yuanzheng's mood."
As he spoke, Wu Shi'an said to the several sturdy servants who came over after hearing the commotion: "You must drive these two people out of the academy's holy place quickly. Don't pollute the saint's grounds."
Several men in servant clothes immediately faced Li Huan with fierce faces. Wang Yangming and Wang pushed him and said: "Go away, you don't even care about your status. The only ones who can enter here are future officials. You guys
It’s simply delusional to want to enter it.”
Neither Li Huan nor Wang Yangming really expected that they would encounter such an opportunity when they came here.
Most people think that Songyang Academy is famous all over the world and is a holy place for scholars. The atmosphere must be very good, but they never think that ordinary people can't even enter the gate of Songyang Academy when they come here.
Li Huan's body shook slightly, and the man who was about to push him out was immediately knocked to the ground by a strong force.
Wang Yangming was not as direct as Li Huan. He just stood there and no matter how much the other party pulled him, he couldn't shake Wang Yangming at all.
Li Huan looked at the scholars coming around and couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Interesting, interesting, Li's eyes have been opened today. Such students, such a big heart, this is what he used to teach without distinction, and taught students all over the world."
Songyang Academy?"
Even Wang Yangming also looked disappointed.
After all, the name of Songyang Academy has been famous for thousands of years, but if any scholar said that he did not have some illusions about it, he would definitely be lying.
But Wang Yangming never imagined that Songyang Academy would become like this after a thousand years.
Seeing that Li Huan actually knocked down the servant who chased him to the ground, Wu Shi'an couldn't help but be startled. After he realized what he was doing, he couldn't help but angrily said to Li Huan: "How brave! How dare you be so rude and arrogant in the important place of the academy."
Many scholars came over after hearing the commotion, and soon no less than a hundred people gathered. The hundreds of people were in a dark crowd, and only Li Huan and Wang Yangming were surrounded.
After they figured out what was going on, the scholars who came in either because of a surrogate relationship or because they paid money suddenly looked at Li Huan and Wang Yangming with contempt and disgust.
They paid such a high price to get in. If Li Huan and Wang Yangming could just get in and out casually, wouldn't they be at a loss?
I don't know who shouted, and immediately everyone pointed at Li Huan. Wang Yangming shouted: "Get out, get out of the academy! You are not worthy..."
Li Huan looked at these scholars with a calm expression. With such a good character, if one day he is really named on the gold list and becomes a high school Jinshi, how can he expect these people to benefit all people in the world!
Wang Yangming looked at the reactions of these scholars and couldn't help but secretly make a determination. One day he would definitely imitate the sages and educate the people regardless of their family status, high or low birth.
Naturally, Li Huan didn't know that Wang Yangming was so stimulated by this scene that he decided to give lectures in the future.
At this time, a majestic and somewhat old voice came: "What a nonsense. You are gathering here and making a lot of noise. Do you still know the rules of the academy?"
The group of people who were shouting at Li Huan and Wang Yangming immediately shut their mouths and took the initiative to move out of the way.
Li Huan and Wang Yangming also saw the person coming. He was dressed in a Confucian robe, a high crown, long sleeves, gray hair on the temples, and his beard was stroking. He had an extraordinary bearing, especially the official power on his body, which clearly showed that he had been in the officialdom for a long time.
A person in officialdom.
Wu Shi'an and others quickly saluted the visitor and said, "Students and others have met Mr. Meng!"
Meng Guang stroked his beard, glanced at Wu Shi'an and others lightly, and finally his eyes fell on Li Huan and Wang Yangming.
The sharpness of his eyes was not comparable to that of Wu Shi'an and other students. At a glance, he could see the unusual temperament in Li Huan and Wang Yangming.
With a raised brow, Meng Guang glanced at Wu Shi'an and the others and said, "What is going on and why is it so noisy?"
Wu Shi'an explained quickly and finally said: "The disciples just wanted to ask them to leave, but I never thought that they actually injured the servants and even stayed in the academy and refused to leave."
Meng Guang turned to Li Huan and Wang Yangming and said, "I teach Meng Guang at Xia Songyang Academy. He was once a member of the Ministry of Etiquette. What do you call them?"
Li Huan glanced at Meng Guang lightly and said, "Li Huan!"
Wang Yangming returned the greeting and said: "I am Wang Shouren of Yuyao, Zhejiang Province."
Meng Guang ran through the names of the two people in his mind, and felt relieved when he found that there was no impression of them.
As long as they are not the few high-ranking officials and powerful people in his impression, then even if the two of them are officials or the children of powerful people, with the influence of their academy and the connections between the president and the teachers, they really have nothing to fear.
Meng Guang nodded slightly and said: "From Meng's point of view, how can two people who are not ordinary people disrupt the order of the academy and disrupt the students here from studying."
Li Huan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Li is a little strange. When did Songyang Academy not allow outsiders to enter? When did this rule be established?"
Meng Guang frowned and said: "This is Songyang Academy, and the rules are naturally set by our Songyang Academy. Even if you two are not from our academy, please leave now!"
Li Huan said in surprise: "Oh, so the academy has become a private place, but what if we have to go in?"
Meng Guang said with a cold face: "Why don't you two listen to my advice? If you leave like this, you will stop hurting the people in my academy. Otherwise, I will submit a handwritten letter to the magistrate of Dengfeng County, saying that you must I’ll punish you for hurting someone.”
Li Huan couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Wang Yangming who was speechless and said to Meng Guang: "When you say that, Li really wants to see if you can really summon the magistrate from all over the county with a handwritten call." .”
Wu Shi'an and others couldn't help looking at Meng Guang with excitement. Didn't they come to the academy just because of the connections among the academy's teachers, Yuan Zheng and others in the court?
Now seeing Meng Guang saying that he could summon the local magistrate with a single handwriting, how could these scholars not be excited and looking forward to it.
Wang Yangming couldn't help showing some hesitation when he saw it. It wasn't that he was afraid, but he didn't want to make the matter bigger because of such a trivial matter, because he really couldn't grasp Li Huan's thoughts.
On the contrary, Meng Guang was a little hesitant by Li Huan's reaction, because he could not see through Li Huan's origin. However, when Meng Guang saw the hesitation flashing across Wang Yangming's face, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he It is to regard Wang Yangming's hesitation as a reaction of guilt and fear.
In addition, a group of scholars nearby looked at him expectantly, obviously wanting to see what his connections were like.
Meng Guangdang took out a copy of his name card from his sleeve and handed it to a servant and said: "Immediately ride a horse and go to see the magistrate of Dengfeng County and tell him that Meng asked him to come and bring justice to our Songyang College. "
The servant took the name card and left.
Many scholars looked directly at Li Huan and Wang Yangming with pity. In their opinion, when the magistrate of Dengfeng came, Li Huan and Wang Yangming would have to go to Dengfeng Prison. If it has anything to do with it, you may suffer less. If it doesn't matter, a jail sentence is inevitable anyway.
At this moment, Wang Yangming couldn't help but whispered to Li Huan: "Master Li, why do you need to be familiar with these people?"
Li Huan said slowly: "Does Mr. Yangming think that Mr. Li is arguing with them?"
During this journey, Wang Yangming asked himself how much he knew about Li Huan, and he knew that Li Huan was not a narrow-minded person as rumored, and he would retaliate against villains.
Wang Yangming said in confusion: "Sir, what do you think..."
Li Huan chuckled and said: "Mr. Yangming, don't you think our line of work is too plain? If we arrive in the southeast in such a plain way, wouldn't we be sorry for His Majesty's privilege of killing first and reporting later?"
When Wang Yangming heard this, his expression changed greatly and he said: "Sir... you don't want to go on a killing spree, do you? Although these people are wrong, no matter what you say, they can't be punished with death!"
As he spoke, Wang Yangming stared at Li Huan with a serious look on his face and said: "If your Excellency intends to go on a killing spree, please forgive me for not agreeing with this. I will definitely report it to the Emperor of Heaven and impeach you."
Li Huan burst out laughing. This laughter only made the scholars not far away stunned. They even thought that Li Huan was panicking.
Only Wang Yangming looked at Li Huan solemnly.
Striding forward, Li Huan looked at the building complex nestled among the green mountains and green waters, and said with great emotion: "What a wonderful place. A cultural and educational holy place that has been passed down for thousands of years has turned into a place that hides evil and evil.
It’s really an insult to our ancestors.”
Hearing Li Huan's words, not only the faces of all the scholars changed drastically and they stared at Li Huan with wide eyes, but also the instructor Meng Guang stared at Li Huan with ugly expressions.
What did Li Huan mean by that? He just pointed at them and yelled at them. What does it mean to hide dirt? Who is dirt and who is dirt!
Meng Guang said angrily: "Take good care of them. Today we will ask the county magistrate to send this rebellious person to prison."
"Yes, yes, we must not let them off easily. They dare to humiliate us scholars like this, and dare to slander the place where saints taught us as a place of filth and evil. If the magistrate does not punish them severely, we will all come together.
Fengxian County Yamen seeks justice from the magistrate."
It's only a dozen miles from Songyang Academy to Dengfeng County Government. If you're in a hurry, the round trip will take less than an hour.
It was obvious that Meng Guang was not lying. The servant asked for an audience with his name card, and indeed he met the magistrate of Dengfeng immediately.
Sun Hong, the magistrate of Dengfeng County, was shocked when he learned that someone dared to commit murder and injure people in Songyang Academy.
He knew the importance of those people in Songyang Academy. The president of the academy was the censor of Zuodu who became an official during the Hongzhi period. A letter could alarm the veterans of the cabinet. In addition, none of the dozen or so teachers in the academy
With simple identities, it can be said that these people are really united, and their network of relationships can really spread throughout the six yamen of the court.
If he really offended these people, he would probably end up as the little magistrate of Dengfeng County.
Sun Hong ordered all the government officials almost immediately and rushed straight to Songyang Academy.
When he saw the gate of the academy, Sun Hong, who was sweating profusely, almost ran into the academy at a trot, fearing that he would cause uncontrollable chaos if he arrived a step too late.
Of course, the uncontrollable mess was aimed at him as the county magistrate. As for the academy, the huge problem was nothing in front of the academy president and the network of teachers and students.
However, when he saw a crowd of people surrounding the two figures in the middle, and nothing happened that he was worried about, Sun Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Sun Hong rushed in, which naturally attracted the attention of everyone, especially the scholars who were studying. When they saw Sun Hong coming out of breath and panic, they were very excited. It was obvious that the other party was really serious.
It was because Meng Guang came in a hurry with the famous invitation.
A famous post can easily recruit a county magistrate. This is the network of connections and influence that the academy teachers have, and this is what they pursue in every possible way to enter the academy.
After straightening his clothes, Sun Hong stepped forward, cupped his hands towards Meng Guang and said, "Mr. Meng, Sun is late."
Meng Guang cupped his fists and cupped his hands at Sun Hong and smiled and said: "Your Majesty Sun, you are very polite. Your Majesty is an official for my parents. This time I have disturbed you, please seek justice for all the students of Songyang Academy."
Sun Hong nodded without hesitation and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely uphold justice for all the students."
While speaking, Sun Hong's eyes fell on Li Huan and Wang Yangming. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he shouted at them with a strong official power: "Bold madman, how dare you do this in the holy place of the academy?"
Do you know that you are guilty of hurting innocent people?"
Without waiting for any reaction from Li Huan and Wang Yangming, Sun Hong shouted at the officers behind him: "Come here, please take down these two madmen before I can do it!"
Li Huan looked at Sun Hong and couldn't help but clapped his hands and said: "Your Excellency is really a good official who makes decisions for the people!"
Sun Hong said seriously: "If you have anything to say, let's wait until we are in jail!"
As he spoke, Sun Hong yelled at the officer: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you capture the man for me?"
At this moment, Wang Yangming couldn't help but sigh and shook his head, while Li Huan smiled at Wang Yangming, with a cold look on his face, and shouted at Sun Hong: "Bold Sun Hong, don't kneel down when you see this imperial envoy!"
This loud shout sounded like thunder in Sun Hong's ears.
Sun Hong was a little confused, with a look of astonishment on his face. He looked at Meng Guang and others, and then at Li Huan, who had a cold look on his face. Wang Yangming said almost instinctively: "What a crazy person, how dare you pretend to be an imperial envoy? This is It’s a capital crime.”
The officers subconsciously looked towards Sun Hong, obviously asking for instructions whether to arrest him or not.
Just when Sun Hong was about to give an order, he saw a group of Jin Yiwei rushing over at the entrance of the academy. Originally, Li Huan and Wang Yangming came to Songyang Academy. Although they also brought the Jin Yiwei with them, they were asked to rest in the woods outside the academy.
Originally, Chen Yao and others were resting in the forest, but Sun Hong and his party came in a hurry, making so much noise that they obviously alerted Chen Yao and others.
Chen Yao, who vaguely sensed something was wrong, led his people and rushed towards the academy. When they heard Li Huan's shout, Chen Yao and others rushed directly into the academy.
When Chen Yao saw a group of literati surrounding Li Huan and Wang Yangming, more than a dozen officers even took out their shackles, as if they wanted to lock them up.
Seeing this situation, Chen Yao didn't even think about it. He just shouted: "Bold, the imperial envoy is in front of you. You are besieging the imperial envoy with weapons. Do you want to rebel?"
"Jin...Jin Yiwei!"
As soon as more than a dozen Jinyi guards came out, Sun Hong, Meng Guang and others were immediately stunned.
The reputation of Jin Yiwei is well known to everyone, and it is hard to find many people who would dare to impersonate Jin Yiwei, especially with his capable appearance and aura of keeping strangers away, anyone with a discerning eye can tell the truth from the fake at a glance.
When Chen Yao shouted, Sun Hong's head buzzed and almost exploded. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Huan and Wang Yangming, remembering what Li Huan had just said.
For some reason, Sun Hong's legs went weak, and he knelt down in front of Li Huan and Wang Yangming with a thud in front of everyone's attention.
"Imperial envoy, please spare my life, my lord, please spare your life!"
Just by looking at Sun Hong's embarrassed look, he almost burst into tears and knew that Sun Hong was frightened to death by Jin Yiwei.
A group of scholars also had dull faces, looking stupidly at the Dengfeng magistrate who was kneeling in front of Li Huan, Wang Yangming and the others.
