Six hundred and twentieth chapters live up to their reputation
Fang Yingwu's intuition naturally made sense, and it didn't appear for no reason. () He knew that his home would be the future home of the Imperial College Jiujiu, and that the Imperial College Jiujiu had the dual status of chief officer and teacher, and had great power over the students.
It’s so big that it’s not an exaggeration to say that your future and destiny are all in your hands.
Therefore, even if the prison guards who come to visit have complaints, they probably dare not speak out, let alone scream and criticize, otherwise they will simply be in trouble with their own future.
However, an unexpected negative phenomenon happened. Someone outside the door dared to criticize the Fang family. Isn't this abnormal? Fang Yingwu has always believed that abnormal things are monsters, and there are no unreasonable abnormalities in the world.
Of course, there are also supervisors whose backgrounds are so strong that they don't have to look at the expressions on the Imperial College's faces during the wine ceremony, but such supervisors will not just appear here and be blocked from the door.
Fang Yingwu asked Menzi to open the corner door, went out and stood on the steps, and said to the crowd outside the door: "Who just criticized our Fang family loudly? I have something to ask for, so you might as well come out and see it."
After a while, a round-faced scholar squeezed forward from the crowd. He was probably less than thirty years old. The other person responded: "Xie Mingxian, a late student, just made a few comments because of his feelings. What's the point of criticizing?"
As soon as the word "late-born" came out of his mouth, everyone outside the door suddenly felt inferior. Seeing that Fang Yingwu was only in his early twenties, he was already a famous official in the court, but when he met Fang Yingwu, he could only call himself "late-born".
.....There is no comparison between people.
Does anyone really dare to stand up? Fang Yingwu couldn't see anything on his face, and asked again in a deep voice: "Is it you who just spoke wantonly?"
Xie Mingxian did not appear to be afraid, and spoke eloquently: "Master Fang, what you said is wrong, we are all Tai students. Now that we are visiting the teacher, it is understandable if we don't see them at all. And why are there different doors and walls because of power and wealth?"
The saints treat everyone equally, but the Fang family is not the same as those who are educated? I am a late student, so I am confused. Therefore, those who are traveling with me question it, if Mr. Fang wants to talk about sinners, he really can't afford it."
Fang Yingwu sneered a few times: "You are such a sharp-tongued and tricky student. What do you mean, if so many of you come here, my Fang family will either see you all or not see you at all, or else you are being unkind?"
Xie Mingxian advised sincerely: "Wan Sheng dares to give a piece of advice, if the Fang family favors one and favors others based on their reputation, it is not the way of teachers. The Fang family has a long-standing reputation, and it is difficult to live up to it. If it is spread out, I am afraid it will damage the honorable name.
Or be accused of disliking the poor and loving the rich."
At this point, Fang Yingwu can be sure that the student named Xie must have come prepared. A few words will discredit the Fang family's reputation and cause dissatisfaction among the students outside the family. If this is extended, it will still be.
Maybe there is some back-up plan.
"Hahahaha!" Fang Yingwu laughed a few times, and then said again: "You keep visiting the teacher, how dare you ask where the teacher is? Who is the teacher?"
Xie Mingxian replied: "Xueshi Fang is going to offer wine at the Imperial Academy, so he will naturally become our teacher."
Fang Yingwu seemed to be very confused and asked: "Huh? How come I haven't heard of it? Did the imperial court have a decree? Or did the government issue a public notice? If you have it, bring it to me and have a look."
How could Xie Mingxian get such a thing? He could only say: "That's what the rumors are. It's only 10%. Otherwise, why would there be so many imperial students coming to pay their respects?"
That's what I was waiting for! Fang Yingwu immediately spoke sternly and scolded: "You also know it's a rumor! Our officials dare not say that they know it, but you, a mere supervisor, dare to speak with certainty about the selection of the imperial minister!"
I thought that you were imprisoned because of the favor of the country, but instead of studying the books of saints, you concentrated on studying the knowledge of saints, but you spied on the secrets of the palace, speculated on the secrets of the court, and tried to get ahead of others. What is the truth? Is this how you study and cultivate yourself?
?”
Xie Mingxian made many drafts in advance, so what he said before was fluent and clear. Unexpectedly, Fang Yingwu did not directly refute it, but roundly questioned it from this angle. He was stuck for a while, not knowing how to answer.
When Fang Yingwu saw that Xie Mingxian did not answer, he continued: "Until we see the imperial decree, our Fang family does not dare to call ourselves teachers. No matter why you come, our Fang family will only receive relatives and friends as a courtesy!
I feel that there are too many people today for the Fang family to accommodate, and people are always different from each other. Close relatives are invited to the hall, and alien guests are temporarily avoided if there is no important matter. What is wrong? Could it be that you are grateful to the family, is it?
Open the door to welcome everyone regardless of distance or distance?"
Yes, it is not a meeting between teachers and students, but a visit from relatives and friends. It is not a business matter but a private matter. Who can control the personal distance between the Fang family?
Xie Mingxian originally had a lot of small thoughts, but today he was ordered to stand up and accuse the Fang family. He thought that it would be both famous and beneficial. However, he did not expect that Fang Yingwu refuted him in silence, and saw that he said no.
As he went down, he felt ashamed for a moment and turned around to leave in shame and anger.
The other supervisors watched silently as Xie Mingxian was easily refuted by Fang Yingwu, and could only say with emotion that he was truly worthy of his reputation... Fortunately, he didn't follow suit just now.
Fang Yingwu stopped drinking and Xie Mingxian said: "Wait a minute! I want to ask you again, who did you get the news from? And why are you so sure that my father will be selected as the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine?"
Who did you hear it from? Of course, this kind of thing cannot be disclosed. Why would it involve other people for no reason? Xie Mingxian answered vaguely: "I heard other people talking about it by chance."
Fang Yingwu asked aggressively: "So, you just heard a few rumors? According to Taizu's rules, Imperial College students are not allowed to interfere in discussing political affairs.
But you are just relying on rumors to make trouble and incite your classmates to criticize the court officials. It is not an exaggeration to say that your character is corrupt, and you are simply worthy of death..."
Having said this, Fang Yingwu turned to his family and said, "You will take down this supervisor surnamed Xie and send him to the Prison Hall of Imperial College. Please punish him according to the law!"
"Yes!" A servant from the Youfang family responded.
Lou Tianhua, who came to help today, watched the excitement behind Fang Yingwu for a while, and suddenly said: "What Xie Jiansheng did is to spread rumors to confuse the public and incite chaos! It is Jinyiwei Town Fusi who is in charge!
"
Xie Mingxian's face turned pale at that time. The script was far beyond his control. If he was sent to Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division, it would be really dangerous and unpredictable.
Fang Yingwu hesitated for a moment. Of course, there were many benefits to being sent to Jinyiwei. He had accomplices in the Zhenfu Division. As long as the supervisor was not a tough guy, he could easily trace the forces behind it. But as a civil servant, he would throw a scholar into Jinyiwei.
Go, it will harm your reputation...
In the end, Fang Yingwu waved his hand and said with dignity and unparalleled benevolence: "We are all scholars. To save some dignity, it is better not to be so harsh. I will give you a little punishment."
Xie Jiansheng, who originally wanted to resist, suddenly calmed down and followed the servants of the Fang family back to the Imperial Academy. If he continued to make trouble, it would be bad to send him to the Zhenfu Division.
After watching this play, all the students outside the door had mixed feelings in their hearts and gradually dispersed. The Fang family had already done their best to be benevolent and righteous, so there was no point in continuing to hang around outside the door.
However, today's trip was well worth it. I got to see the celebrity Fang Yingwu, and he really deserves the word "well-deserved." Especially in the end, I let Mr. Xie live, which was very merciful.
After watching everyone leave, the kind and generous Fang Yingwu beckoned Lou Tianhua over: "You secretly go to Jinyiwei Town Fusi to find the Thousand Household Wu Professor... Go to the Imperial College...
