Chapter 221: Inexplicably became the president of Datong
"Shadow Dragon Guard!"
Looking at the group of people, Wang Haitian, four old gentlemen, and more than a dozen Jinshi frowned.
The python suit can be worn by kings and nobles; black, the color of the official uniform.
Daye combined the noble and the humble and became the royal spy costume.
For the Shadow Dragon Guard, the civil servants of Daye instinctively reject it and strongly oppose it!
Fortunately, Shadow Dragon Guard keeps a low profile and only wears the black python suit when handling heinous cases!
Now that Shadow Dragon Guard has come to Longnan, what big case will happen again!
Some people unconsciously think of the prophecies that have been circulating recently, prophecies!
Pei Xianzheng stood up and said, "I wonder what you are doing here?"
Long Wei, the first shadow, raised the token: "According to your Majesty's secret order, the Longnan magistrates Pei Xianzheng and Wei Cheng, who are responsible for raising the bandits, are self-respecting and have evil intentions. They removed the black gauze from their heads and were escorted to the capital for trial. The post of magistrates is temporarily delegated to the local magistrates. Officially
The will will come soon!"
boom!
The secret order falls like thunder, some are happy and some are sad!
Wang Yuan let out a sigh of relief: After waiting for half a month, the day has finally come!
"Pei Xian is rebelling?"
"Have you not heard the prophecies and prophecies spread throughout Longnan these days?"
"When Emperor Ji cries, Emperor Pei comes out. Don't forget that the bronze man has only one eye, and as soon as the bronze man goes out, he will turn right. When Longnan is a battlefield, the emperor will go right first!"
"No wonder, this prophecy has spread throughout Dingzhou. It turns out that this person named Pei is planning to rebel!"
"The prophecy first came from the mountain bandit. No wonder he couldn't even take down a green-faced beast from He County. It turned out that he was raising the bandits for self-respect in order to rebel!"
"I understand why he wants to harm Mr. Mingtan. Mr. Mingtan is a master of military affairs. As long as Mr. Mingtan is around, his rebellion will never succeed. Therefore, the rebellion must first get rid of Mr. Mingtan!"
"This ruthless person is in danger of mountains and rivers, so he must be punished!"
Many young and passionate children, scholars, and scholars felt that they had seen the truth clearly and shouted angrily.
But Wang Haitian, Luan Qing, Tong Gu, Jiubian, more than ten Jinshi, and some civil servants all looked at Wang Yuan unconsciously, with complicated expressions in their eyes!
They have heard the prophecy of the three one-eyed bronze men a long time ago!
The first one suspected Wang Yuanbu’s self-rescue plan after being arrested!
But when Zhengqi Ge was born, they also wanted to save Wang Yuan, so they didn't say anything!
Wang Yuan looked confused, as if he didn't know anything, but he felt helpless!
In this hierarchical society, if you want to deal with the persecution of the imperial officials, you must either raise an army to rebel, or mobilize a higher power than him.
The highest power in the cause is the imperial power, and no one is allowed to interfere with the imperial power!
However, it is absolutely impossible to overthrow Pei Xianzheng based on a few prophecies!
But with the addition of a few prophecies from hundreds of years ago - the one-eyed bronze man is different!
Regardless of whether he rebels or not, the court will not rest assured and will deal with him quickly.
In order to avoid suspicion, he had to choose to go to jail and let the seemingly hostile Yixiantian, Daqingling and Qinglongling take action, so as to put aside the relationship for the time being!
Pei Xianzheng had cold sweat breaking out on his forehead: "I'm wronged. I'm wronged. I'm loyal to Your Majesty, and I can teach the court a lesson."
I arrested the boy named Wang, and the prophecy and the prophecy appeared. He must have framed me.
Those three prophecies were released by the thieves from Yixiantian, Daqingling and Qinglong Gorge.
He just colluded with the thief, and the prophecy must have been forged by him!"
Many scholars looked at Wang Yuan. They also had this normal suspicion. After all, it was such a coincidence!
Wang Yuan just wanted to open his mouth to defend himself!
"Shut up, Pei, do you think we are fools?"
"Mr. Mingtan went to Jiushan County last year. He first killed the little green python of the second master of Daqingling, then killed the first master of Tianjiu, and then captured the second master of Xiantian. He extorted the first-line Tianshan thieves into poverty. Years ago, he killed the first-line master.
The green-faced beast of Tianda has captured so many rebels in He County."
"He has a sworn relationship with bandits and rebels. How could those thieves help Mr. Mingtan!"
"Also, Mr. Mingtan is in jail, what does the outside world have to do with him!"
Upon hearing that Pei Xianzheng accused Wang Yuan of being the mastermind behind the scenes, many scholars exploded on the spot!
Since Wang Yuan defeated the Huangren, many of his deeds have been unearthed.
The hatred is all on the surface!
"..."
Wang Yuan gave a thumbs up in confusion: What these people said made sense, but he couldn't refute it!
Even some scholars who doubted Wang Yuan did not consciously give up their doubts!
"He, he...I, I..."
Mr. Pei was so anxious that he almost cried and was about to rack his brains to defend!
A group of Shadow Dragon Guards came forward, took off his veil and official uniform, put him in shackles, shackled his hands and feet, and stuffed linen cloth in his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide, and dragged him away on the spot, like dragging a dead dog!
"Unjustly accused, unjustly accused..."
Pei Xian was whimpering and looked at Wang Yuan with anger mixed with regret.
He never imagined that the court would convict him based on just three prophecies.
Now he regrets so much that he should not have coveted money and let Wang Yuan delay!
If I had known earlier, I should have killed this guy!
Pei Xian is being dragged away and taken to prison!
Not long after, Longnan Tongzhi Yuan Gaoxing took the post of deputy magistrate, retried Wang Yuan's case and reached a verdict quickly!
Qiao Kun was arrested, and the four policemen committed heinous crimes. Although Wang Yuan led his men to kill five people, it was against the law, but it was an act of eradicating violence, and the merits and demerits were balanced. No punishment was imposed, and they were released in court.
The hall fell into silence and soon erupted into loud cheers.
Wang Haitian, four great scholars, more than a dozen Jinshi, fifty or sixty scholars, and a group of scholars all gathered around Wang Yuan, and the acting prefect Yuan Gaoxing also followed behind!
Wang Yuan paused: "Prefect Yuan?"
"Mr. Mingtan, what are your orders?"
Acting Magistrate Yuan Gaoxing clasped his fists and looked respectful, not daring to be careless!
You have a bad attitude, this guy is too ruthless and sends people directly to the road to kill the Nine Tribes!
He also had too many helpers, nearly half of whom were famous scholars in Dingzhou.
"Prefect Yuan is so polite!"
Wang Yuan cupped his fists and saluted: "I have been in prison for half a month, and there is a prisoner Tang Mang who takes good care of me. He was caught making trouble while drunk, and has been in prison for two months!"
Yuan Gaoxing said quickly: "Mr. Mingtan, please don't worry, I'll have someone release him immediately!"
"Thank you!"
Wang Yuan clasped his fists and turned around!
During these days in jail, if it weren't for Tang Mang's protection, I would have been bullied by the prison bullies.
After leaving the government office, Wang Yuan came to the largest restaurant in Longnan - Cyclamen!
People have traveled hundreds of miles to help, and they will definitely be entertained with good food and drinks after everything is done!
In front of the restaurant, Wang Zhonglou is waiting, with a brazier already prepared!
Wang Yuan stepped over the fire basin to bathe and change clothes, and rushed to the banquet to toast and thank him.
Although the Shadow Dragon Guard captured Pei Zhengxian, if hundreds of scholars hadn't arrived and acted as prefect Yuan Gaoxing, it might not have been so easy to judge him as having equal merit and demerit!
There are more than 300 people, eight people per seat, ranked according to their fame and reputation!
Wang Yuan, Wang Haitian, Luan Qing, Tong Gu, Jiubian plus three Jinshi at one table!
There are eight tables for Juren, fifteen tables for Scholars, and twenty tables for Tongsheng.
No one present was unhappy with this obvious hierarchical order.
Although the alcohol content of this era was not high, its stamina was surprisingly strong!
Wang Yuan toasted table after table, and after walking around, he was already drunk and left!
A group of scholars exchanged cups, recited poems, discussed the current situation, and drank until they were dizzy!
Some recited "Four Sentences of Hengqu", some sang "Man Jiang Hong", some recited "Send Zhao Weimin's Phoenix to the City", some recited "Song of Righteousness" and laughed and cried!
At the banquet, Wang Haitian, who used to be drunk, rarely drank today. He stood up and shouted: "Everyone, the court has not allowed Mingtan to conduct scientific research and will never use it. You still come to help him, which shows that you are all righteous people!"
Many scholars are secretly ashamed!
They support what the imperial court objects to. This is a way to gain fame!
Most of them are disciples of the three Confucian scholars Luan Qing, Tong Gu, and Jiubian. Knowing the relationship between the three of them and Mr. Hai Tian, how dare they not come!
There is also Wang Yuan's "Song of Righteousness", which is also one of the reasons that attracts them.
Wang Yuan was a little surprised. He didn’t know Brother Haitian, what happened today!
I am a heavy drinker on weekdays, but today I will not drink at all!
Wang Haitian looked around and said: "Things of the same kind flock together, and people divide into groups. Since we are members of the same path, why not form a group to establish a heart for the world, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry forward the unique knowledge of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations!"
"Mr. Haitian said it well, a true man should do the same!"
Hengqu's Four Sentences is the dream of scholars all over the world, and many scholars are inspired by it.
Mr. Jiubian said with a smile: "Brother Haitian's proposal is good, and I'm ready to join in!"
"I'll join you too!"
Luan Qing and Tong Gu also expressed their opinions one after another!
"I'm joining!"
"I'll join in too!"
…
Suddenly, many people raised their hands to express their intention to join this organization!
The four gentlemen, Haitian, Jiubian, Tonggu, and Luanqing, had obviously discussed it.
As long as you join this organization, you will be able to rely on the power behind the four people in the future!
"Brother!"
Wang Haitian turned around and smiled: "What about you?"
Wang Yuan whispered: "Brother, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"
It seems weird to set up an organization even if you don’t drink alcohol!
Wang Haitian chuckled: "Let's not talk about it for now. We'll talk about it after you declare your intention to join. I won't harm you!"
"good!"
Wang Yuan gritted his teeth and expressed his position: "I will join too!"
Suddenly, all the scholars in the audience expressed their intention to join!
Wang Haitian added: "Then let's think of a name for this organization!"
"Justice Society!"
"Tongdaomeng!"
"Hailuan Jiutong Club!"
"The way of college!"
…
Many strange names pop up!
Wang Haitian frowned and shook his head, and finally looked at Wang Yuan: "Brother, you want one too!"
Wang Yuan thought for a while and said: "The highest ideal for us scholars is the great unity of the world. Instead of our organization, let's call it the Great Harmony Society!"
"Great Harmony, great harmony in the world, wonderful!"
"I agree!"
"It's called Datonghui. Only this name is worthy of the four sentences of Mingtan!"
No one present objected and unanimously agreed on the name "Datonghui".
Wang Haitian smiled and said: "Since the name is decided to be Datong, then we should elect a president. I wonder who everyone will recommend!"
"Mr. Haitian has both political integrity and talent. I recommend him to be the president of the Datong Association!"
"Mr. Luan Qing is highly respected..."
"Mr. Jiubian is welcomed by everyone..."
"Mr. Tonggu is old and virtuous..."
"Mr. Mingtan is extremely talented and resourceful, and he defeated the Huang people. I recommend him to be the president of Datong!"
Most of the scholars in the field supported their husband, and some supported Wang Yuan.
Wang Haitian smiled and clasped his fists: "Thank you all for your love, but I recommend brother Mingtan. He defeated the Huang people, proposed a brilliant plan for the great cause of ZTE, and was young and powerful. He also wrote the program of the Datong Association, so I recommend him to be the president.
Come on, I’ll just be the vice president!”
"We also want to be the vice-president. The president asked brother Mingtan to be the vice-president!"
Luan Qing, Tong Gu, and Jiubian, the three great scholars, also stood up with smiles to express their stance!
"...haven't you already discussed this? Then what else can we say!"
The scholars in the field are all thoughtful people, and they should all support Wang Yuan as the president!
Wang Yuan waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I can't, I can't be the president of the Datong Association!"
To be honest, he doesn't like to interact with the scholars of this era and doesn't want to have too much involvement with them!
Wang Haitian smiled and said: "Brother, men can't say no, you can do it!"
"Hahaha!"
The whole audience burst into laughter!
No matter how much Wang Yuan objected, it was of no avail. The whole audience unanimously elected him as the president of the Datong Association!
The banquet dispersed.
Wang Yuan frowned and had a straight face!
Wang Haitian smiled and said: "Brother, do you know why I want you to be the president of this Datong Association?"
