"Lord? Lord?" Liu Xian's forehead was covered with sweat, who was kneeling in the hall.
Hearing the call, Liu Cong came to his senses and looked at Liu Xian and asked, "The four principals of the academic institution, including the orphan father, are also contemporary great scholars. How did Zhou Buyi's statement pass their assessment?
”
Liu Xian smiled bitterly and said, "The school only assessed Zhou Buyi's knowledge, talents, morality, etc. No one expected that he would have such shocking words."
"Where is Zhou Buyi now?"
Liu Xian quickly bowed his hand and replied, "Just outside the mansion, I asked him to apologize to the lord."
"You call him in, Gu wants to talk to him, don't worry, Gu will not cure his sins, so be at ease."
"promise."
Liu Xian knelt for so long, and his legs were already numb. Xing Daorong supported him and was able to get up and walk out of the mansion.
When Xing Daorong came back, he was not only Zhou Buyi, but also Deng Ai, Sun Shao, Zhou Yuan and Ma Liang!
"My minister of the Ministry of Revenue Ma Liang pays homage to his lord."
Ma Liang took Zhou Yuan as his adopted son. After hearing about this, he did not dare to neglect it. He quickly pulled Zhou Yuan to the Marquis' Mansion together.
Zhou Yuan was nothing wrong, but there were also mistakes. The students in that classroom were all wrong. They were wrong because they listened to Zhou Buyi’s remarks!
Why do you think the Ming and Qing dynasties had to practice eight-part essays? Not only the Ming and Qing dynasties, but which dynasty in history allowed remarks that were unfavorable to the royal family?
These children are still young and their thoughts are still in the development stage. Who knows whether they will become rebellious in the future? What if Liu Cong is more cruel, these babies will die! Ma Liang is not afraid.
Liu Cong smiled bitterly and looked at the young man kneeling below with a plain expression. His shocking words would cause many people to be frightened.
"Ji Chang doesn't need to say much. I already know the matter. I won't treat the children. I'll relax and take Zhou Yuan home for a day off."
Ma Liang's white eyebrows, which were squeezed together because of his frown, finally stretched out, "Thank you, lord."
After Ma Liang took Zhou Yuan away, Liu Cong ordered the maid in the hall, "Go and call Mrs. Deng and Mrs. Qiao."
"promise."
Looking at Sun Shao, who was still in tears in his eyes and Deng Ai, who was kneeling on the ground with a stubborn face, Liu Cong shook his head and smiled bitterly. Zhou Buyi was really able to do it.
"Shaoer, do you still remember the agreement with your father?"
"Thorn..."
Sun Shao sucked his nose blocked because of crying, "Remember, Shaoer is a man!"
"Can a man cry?"
"cannot."
"That's right. Men can't cry. Come, come to my father." After saying that, Liu Cong stretched out his palm to Sun Shao and signaled him to come.
Sun Shao got up and ran to Liu Cong's arms, and finally stopped sobbing. Liu Cong grabbed Sun Shao's little hand and pointed at Zhou Buyi and said, "As a man, you must study hard and work hard. One day in the future, you can
Get revenge on this guy who beat you!"
Sun Shao looked at him and didn't say anything. For him, this was a big psychological shadow. He was beaten on the first day of school, but he was beaten by the teacher.
As for revenge, Liu Cong thought Sun Shao should not be deluded and just comforted him. Not to mention Zhou Buyi's intelligence, Sun Shao could not take revenge at all. It was just what Sun Shao had today, and he would not have any psychological pressure when he met Zhou Buyi in the future.
That's good.
Sun Shao lowered his head and pulled the corner of his clothes on his own. Liu Cong said no to comfort him, looking at the stubborn Deng Ai, "Ai'er, are you wronged today?"
"Don't feel wronged!" Even though he knelt on the ground, Deng Ai's body was still straight!
"Are you frustrated?"
"Frustrated."
How can I not be frustrated? I argued with Zhou Buyi, but in the end I was punished by others with my own remarks.
"Do you think Zhou Buyi is right?"
"No!" Deng Ai answered without thinking, then frowned and murmured, "Yes, no, no, no, no, but..."
Zhou Buyi said something wrong, but why can he use his own point of view to clean himself? Then is what I said right? Why are the right people dealt with? No? No, Zhou Buyi said nothing wrong. Is it right or wrong?
Deng Ai couldn't understand this moment. This was the awesomeness of Zhou Buyi's words. If he taught a few more classes, the children would not have such a great sense of respect for the imperial power. When they grew up,
You will also dare to take risks even more when doing things!
This is also the reason why Ma Liang is frightened.
"Don't panic, I'll teach you what to do for my father and follow your own heart!"
"Follow your heart?" Hearing this, Deng Ai thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and then he became a slightest understanding.
Liu Cong's words made no sense, but they were also testing human nature. Why did many ministers risk their lives to give advice in ancient times? Why didn't they rebel directly when the emperor did something wrong?
After all, it is because of the four words "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism", either the favor of the contemporary emperor or the favor of the previous emperors. The kindness of knowing and the salary of the emperor is eaten. Such kindness and love for the king have created one by one.
Loyal ministers who are desperately defending the emperor and imperial power.
With Liu Cong's love for Deng Ai, would Deng Ai make Liu Cong's rebellion? It's impossible in this life!
At this time, Sun Shangxiang, Deng and Da Qiao came. Seeing Deng Ai kneeling on the ground, Deng’s face was a little nervous. She heard from the maid that Deng Ai was beaten by the husband.
"I'm paying homage to my husband."
The three of them bowed gently to Liu Cong.
Liu Cong smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, Deng Ai and Sun Shao did not make any big mistakes. I will give them a day off today. You will take your son to the backyard for a day of reunion."
Deng walked to Deng Ai and grabbed Deng Ai's red hand. Tears of heartache were about to fall out, "Ai'er, does it still hurt?"
In front of his mother, Deng Ai finally smiled, "Mother, I'm fine."
Sun Shao also threw himself into Da Qiao's arms, but he was strongly not crying. Sun Shangxiang frowned and asked, "Husband, what mistakes did they make? Why were they punished by the sir?"
"Disrespect your teacher." Before Liu Cong could speak, Zhou Buyi, who was kneeling on the ground, said lightly.
"You beat them?"
"yes."
Unexpectedly, Sun Shangxiang did not argue with Zhou Buyi, but instead bowed to Zhou Buyi, "I am sorry for the marquis's family, sir."
Zhou Buyi didn't dare to be timid, so he quickly returned the courtesy, "Madam is serious."
Liu Cong smiled. Sun Shangxiang is now becoming more and more majestic as a mistress. She is becoming more and more conscientious.
"Okay, you guys will take the child back first. Gu wants to talk to Zhou Buyi."
"promise."
After the few people left, Liu Cong shut down all the maids and servants in the hall. He was afraid that Zhou Buyi would say something for a while, so he forced himself to kill someone to silence him.
However, in addition to Liu Cong and Zhou Buyi, Xing Daorong also stayed, and Liu Cong also recognized the words that these two guys could understand.
Liu Cong didn't speak, Zhou Buyi didn't speak, and knelt down at the bottom and closed his eyes to rest.
"Are you very arrogant?"
Hearing Liu Cong speak, Zhou Buyi opened his eyes, "Lord, my legs are sore. Can I get up first?"
