"Ye An attended the court meeting today, but the court uniform was stolen. What's wrong with Ye An wearing the purple uniform passed down by his master? Ye An is a Taoist priest. Do you think he is Liu Yushi?"
Ye An's self-defense words echoed in the Daqing Palace, but Liu Gao was slightly stunned by these straightforward words, and then he laughed with disdain.
"It's ridiculous. Court uniforms are the most important part of the ritual system. Who dares to go to the Shangqing Palace to steal them? Besides, why would they steal something from a child like you?"
Ye An shook his head: "This is not my problem. Everyone in the Shangqing Palace can prove it for me. Do I know that not wearing court uniforms will lead to impeachment, so I deliberately don't wear court uniforms? This doesn't make sense!
"
Liu Gao was really stunned now. Originally, he only wanted to blame Ye An for violating the etiquette of the imperial court, but he easily resolved it without thinking. Instead, he turned himself into a picky person.
In fact, he himself also knew that Ye An did nothing wrong when he lost his court uniform and came to attend the court wearing purple clothes. After all, he was still a disciple of Mr. Guanmiao and a serious Taoist priest.
But when he thought of that charming face that he could not forget for a long time, the fire of jealousy in Liu Gao's heart was about to devour him.
"In Yangcheng County, you exchanged rare treasures for 200,000 kilograms of grain in Wang Xueshi's village, and used this grain to gain fame and reputation and then sold it at a high price. This is a move to achieve both fame and fortune!"
Ye An chuckled and looked at Liu Gao with disdain in his eyes.
"Young man, I don't understand. I exchanged my own things for 200,000 kilograms of grain from Bachelor Wang. When the Henan Prefecture was hit by a disaster, I sold it to Yangcheng County while the victims were rushing to Tokyo. Is there anything wrong with that?
You mean that I, Ye An, should stop selling food and watch the victims starve to death and watch them continue to come to Tokyo City?"
"You are using strong words!"
Ye An suddenly smiled, and when this smile fell in Xuan Chengzi's eyes, he knew that this kid was going to do something bad again.
"What a strong word! Since Liu Yushi feels that Ye An is using strong words, then please tell Liu Yushi... where is the strong word?!"
Seeing Liu Gao's ugly face, Ye An began to relax and pursue the victory: "Oh! I understand. In the eyes of Liu Yushi, I, Ye An, should give the 200,000 kilograms of grain that I exchanged for my property to Yangcheng for free.
County government?"
"When the country is in trouble, scholars should sacrifice themselves for others and for the sake of the world! Give up small profits for great righteousness! When you bought the 200,000 catties of grain from Master Wang, you did not buy it directly and sell it to the people, but sold it at a price."
Liu Gao was unknowingly forced into a desperate situation by Ye An, and for a moment he retorted indiscriminately.
But these words made all the civil servants frown, and also made the generals grin slightly.
Sure enough, Ye An smiled coldly and said: "Oh? Ye An's eyes have really been opened recently. A dignified censor can actually say such ridiculous things.
According to Liu Yushi's words, shouldn't all scholars in the world send the food they bought with their own money to Yangcheng County for free?
But Ye An has never seen anyone give food to Yangcheng County for free!
On the contrary, Ye An saw someone hoarding food and waiting for the price to sell it! Aren't these evil thieves worse than pigs and dogs, just like animals?!"
When Ye An expanded the scope of the attack, Liu Gao suddenly woke up. He knew that this issue could not be entangled again, otherwise more people would be implicated. The censor was right to "bite people", but he could only bite one at a time!
After all, many of the merchants who hoarded grain in Yangcheng County were involved in powerful families, and being implicated was not something that a small imperial censor like himself could bear.
But Ye An didn't intend to give up: "Why should Ye An give away the things he bought with real money and silver without taking any money?
As for the request you mentioned, to distribute food to the people for free, this is probably something only strong bandits can do, right?
As for selling at a price, Ye An's grain was never sold directly to the people, but directly to the government!"
After Ye An finished speaking, he turned to Liu E and Zhao Zhen who were behind the bead curtain and said: "Sage, the official Mingjian, these 200,000 catties of grain and 100,000 catties of grain were sold to Sun Quanbin, who promoted disaster relief in Henan, and the 100,000 catties of grain were sold to
The county government offices in Yangcheng County all have well-documented records!"
Ye An did not continue, but everyone present changed their expressions, and glanced at Liu Gao with sharp eyes...
Liu Gao pointed at Ye An with one hand, covered his chest with one hand and gasped: "That's nonsense, you are misinterpreting my meaning!"
Ye An glared at Liu Gao and said, "I don't know where Ye An misinterpreted Liu Yushi's meaning. Why don't you tell me and remind me?"
Ye An's self-defense has been very successful. From the beginning, Liu Gao fell into a trap and asked him questions instead of asking him questions instead of letting Liu Gao seize the opportunity to attack continuously.
It seems to be self-defense, but Ye An is asking Liu Gao all the questions and at the same time giving answers himself.
Every sentence was just right but shocking, pushing Liu Gao to the edge with every move.
Liu Gao, who was trapped in a desperate situation, used his final " trump card ".
"As expected, you are a glib person. Even if what you say is right, how can you deny the auspiciousness you offered to bring trouble to the palace?! I ask the sages and officials to punish this son, as a warning to others!"
Sure enough, it came!
Ye An knew that he would cause trouble for himself regarding the auspiciousness, because everything he had done before had been found troublesome. How could he not mention such a big thing as auspiciousness?
Suddenly, the courtiers discovered that this quarrelsome young man in the palace, instead of panicking under Liu Gao's questioning, actually smiled a little "shyly".
"It is a myth to cause chaos in the palace and confuse the saints and officials. However, it is my duty to offer auspicious signs. There is no need to thank me."
Looking for trouble with auspicious signs is simply asking for death. Ye An knows that the benefits of offering auspicious signs are true and false. Potatoes and sweet potatoes will bring about earth-shaking changes to the Song Dynasty, no matter whether it is on the throne.
Liu E and the husbands standing below all knew this.
Liu Gao used this to attack himself, which would only lead him to destruction...
After Ye An finished speaking, the Daqing Palace fell into a brief silence. Liu Gao screamed and pointed at Ye An and said, "You are so arrogant! How shameless! You are using the past of the late emperor to invite favors and bring trouble to the palace!"
"shut up!"
A rebuke came from behind the bead curtain, with a hint of trembling and broken sound in the voice. Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian and other high-ranking civil servants closed their eyes slightly, while others looked at the bead curtain in surprise.
Liu Gao trembled suddenly after hearing the sound, a sense of fear came over him, and he subconsciously tightened his legs, but still collapsed on the ground.
However, Ye An slowly spoke: "Liu Yushi, as the saying goes, if you don't notice and don't cure, you won't be guilty. Do you know what auspiciousness I dedicate to saints and officials? You don't even know what auspiciousness is, how dare you say it?
Am I causing trouble in the palace?"
Liu Gao, who was paralyzed on the ground, suddenly understood that Ye An's auspiciousness was probably different from the auspiciousness of the late emperor's dynasty, or even real auspiciousness.
"Jiahe is also a big harvest! When he became the king, there were three seedlings growing through three mulberry trees, and they were all one ear. They were as big as a cart and as long as a box. The people had something to gain! Three seedlings were one ear, which meant the whole world.
The sum of them is one call, which was later re-translated by Yue Shang. Confucianism calls it "Taiping Ruiying"!"
Liu E's voice echoed in the palace, but the content was a description of auspiciousness in a Tang Dynasty book, and this paragraph was an auspicious description of agricultural animals, and the grain produced double ears!
Now everyone in the palace understood that the auspiciousness offered by Ye An was different from those that were not worthy of the name.
Liu E spoke slowly in the most solemn voice: "Yangcheng County, Ye An is a man who has achieved success at a young age, has acquired wisdom early, has acquired weapons carefully, and has a good family background! This is a great auspicious gift to the imperial court.
Da Rui!"
Following Liu E's words, all the civil and military officials in the court and even the waiters and censors in the palace were stunned. No one thought that what Ye An presented was actually a great fortune!
