Especially Confucianism, even in later generations, Confucianism is still advocated and followed by people.
But Confucianism is Confucianism, and Confucian scholars are Confucian scholars, which is not the same concept.
In fact, it was not unexpected at all.
The scholars in the four Imperial Colleges spoke louder and louder, and became more and more noisy.
Especially Gao Fenghuang, who slapped the table and scolded Qianqiying for his perverse behavior. He also said that he and Chu Qing were at odds with each other and that if he were to become an official in the court one day, he would definitely remonstrate with Chu Qing.
Chen Yan and Jiang Yuesheng listened happily.
Chu Qing also couldn't laugh or cry.
There are many people who want to retaliate against the commander-in-chief, but who do you think you are?
"There are many ills in the imperial court, and it is precisely because of the Chu thieves who have brought disaster to the country and the people. If I, Gao Fenghuang, enter the palace as an official, I will rebuke that traitor to death!"
Chu Qing stood up suddenly in the corner, his face full of anger.
Chen Yan quickly grabbed him: "What are you doing!"
"He called me a bitch!"
Chen Yan was helpless: "He is a traitor, an evil traitor."
"Oh~~~" Chu Qing sat down again: "Then I won't be angry."
When he stood up, he also attracted the attention of Gao Fenghuang and others.
Gao Fenghuang looked at Chu Qing and the others, frowned and said, "Any advice?"
Chu Qing slapped the table: "Well said!"
Chen Yan: “…”
Just as Gao Fenghuang was about to speak, his companion pulled his sleeve.
"Brother Gao, although the Chu bandits are hateful, they are in charge of the Thousand Cavalry Camp after all. It is said that the hawks and dogs of the Thousand Cavalry Camp are all-pervasive, so be careful as the walls have ears."
"What are you afraid of!" Gao Fenghuang raised his voice instead: "Now everyone is shouting to beat the Chu bandit. We, the scholars, regard him as an enemy bandit. We wish we could peel off his skin and drink his blood to relieve the hatred in our hearts!"
Chu Qing's face was full of disgust, and Chen Yan smiled even more enthusiastically.
Jiang Yuesheng was very confused.
Ergou still couldn't figure out why Chu Qing became the target of public criticism just for rebutting Gong Chengan in the court.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty."
Ergou is the kind of person who has a strong sense of collective honor. Seeing this group of scholars spitting Chu Qing and Qian Qiying to death, he really couldn't stand it anymore.
"If you insult the emperor's troops, you should capture them. You must punish them no matter what."
Chu Qing smiled and shook his head: "Keep listening."
Now there are so many scholars in Beijing scolding Chu Qing, so we can't deal with them one by one.
Chen Yan glanced at Chu Qing slightly.
He never expected that Chu Qing would become so "generous" now.
In fact, it's not that Chu Qing is generous, but that he is used to it.
Chu Qing didn't care, but Gao Fenghuang was getting more and more excited.
As if he had already been exposed to the ruined reputation of Chu Qing, the general of the court, the guy's voice became louder and louder, and he also listed several major crimes of Chu Qing, such as monopolizing power, bullying merchants, extravagance, forming cliques for personal gain, etc., which are all things that can be punished.
The crime on the line.
Not only did this guy scream loudly, but he also drank a lot. His face was flushed, and he was obviously a little drunk.
Seeing Gao Fenghuang becoming more and more outspoken, and the little fat guy named Zhao Wo always looking around, his heart skipped a beat when he saw Chu Qing and the other three looking at them.
"Brother Gao, let's stop talking today. Qianqiying's eyes and ears are everywhere, so don't get into trouble and burn yourself."
"Ears and eyes, haha, am I afraid of these hawks and dogs?"
Gao Fenghuang laughed and was about to pretend again when the waiter came up to serve him drinks.
Unexpectedly, Gao Fenghuang grabbed the waiter's lapel and his forehead was almost touching the waiter's face.
"Tell me, are you a lackey of Qianqi Camp?"
The waiter looked helpless.
I think the problem is that Qianqi Camp can't have me either.
"Sir, you seem to be drunk. You are just a waiter in a wine shop."
"no?"
Gao Fenghuang had already begun to drink like crazy and pushed the waiter away: "Not to mention that Qianqiying is pervasive and their spies are everywhere. Especially in this restaurant and teahouse, there are Qianqiying lackeys. Are you serious?
no?"
The waiter shook his head repeatedly: "That's not true, young master. You are too worried."
With a smile, the waiter put the wine bottle on the table and wanted to leave quickly.
As a result, Gao Fenghuang spoke again: "Wait a minute, I just wanted a jar of wine, why is there only one pot?"
"Sir, this wine is called Mentou Donkey. It is extremely strong. Ordinary people will not be able to bear it after drinking a pot. This jar..."
"Suffocate the donkey?!"
Gao Fenghuang's expression changed: "Nanjiao Zhuangzi, is it brewed by the Chu thieves' Nanjiao Zhuangzi?"
The waiter didn't dare to say a word.
He has entertained many scholars in the past two days, so he naturally knows who the words Chu and Thieves refer to.
"Go." Gao Fenghuang waved his hand: "Bring up all the dumb donkeys you came to upstairs with."
"Sir, what are you..."
"There's so much nonsense, just go wherever you are told."
The waiter knew that these people were all supervisors of the Imperial College and he couldn't afford to offend them, so he had to go downstairs to find the shopkeeper.
Anyone who can open a restaurant here also has a backer.
The shopkeeper went up the stairs and took a look. Maybe he didn't think much about it, thinking that these scholars were just trying to show off their talents, so he asked the waiter to carry more than ten jars to suffocate the donkey.
No one knew what Gao Fenghuang was going to do, and the same was true for the three Imperial College companions. They all thought this guy had drunk too much.
Although the price of stuffing a donkey is high, these three people are from aristocratic families and they don't care about the money. They can drink if they can, and it's no big deal if they can't.
But after more than ten jars of wine were brought up, Gao Fenghuang suddenly stretched out his foot and kicked one of the wine jars into pieces.
There was a "click" sound, which startled everyone.
Before anyone could react, Gao Fenghuang acted like he was crazy. He picked up a wooden stool and started smashing it, smashing the altar of good spirits to pieces.
Chu Qing quickly stood up and stepped back. Chen Yan and Jiang Yuesheng also frowned tightly.
The shopkeeper heard the sound and ran up quickly, anxious.
"Master, Master, what do you mean by this? You..."
Gao Fenghuang, who was like a mad dog, panted heavily and pointed at the chubby shopkeeper with a ferocious smile on his face.
"The stuffed donkey was brewed by the Chu thief Zhuangzi. If you, a merchant, dare to sell it, you are helping the thief and emboldening the arrogance of the national thief!"
Even though the shopkeeper had seen too many scholars, he was still trembling with anger.
"Selling alcohol is like helping thieves!"
Gao Fenghuang seemed to have drunk too much, but his eyes were clear and he overturned the table.
"Nowadays, Chu thieves are being shouted out by everyone in the capital, and we, the scholars, will gnash our teeth when mentioning them. Everyone has caught and punished such evildoers, but you are selling the wine brewed by them. If you are not helping the thieves, you are not helping the thieves. Soon I will
As a righteous man, we must overthrow this traitor, and if he is convicted of killing the nine clans, you will be guilty of the same crime!"
The shopkeeper was shocked: "Who are you?"
"A famous Confucian in the country, a sage in the world, Gong Chengan, the first disciple of the Imperial Academy to offer wine."
Gao Fenghuang finished reporting his family name, and his friends were also excited.
"Yes, we are all Imperial College students. We smashed your wine. It is wine that helps thieves. Why not? If we keep talking too much, we will even smash your shop!"
Jiang Yuesheng was furious and was about to stop him when Chu Qing held him back.
"Sir, this..."
Chu Qing's face was full of smiles: "Let him make trouble, the bigger the trouble, the better."
“Bigger is better?”
"Yes, I am very curious. In this Dachang Dynasty, who is more important is the scholars, or the people and justice."
Chen Yan looked deeply at Chu Qing and also smiled.
He is not curious because he has the answer. This answer comes from his understanding of Lao Si.
