People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 895

The wind on Tianlong Mountain is a bit cold, and occasionally there are a few birdsong. Wang Yu laughed at himself and said, "This is a good place to retire. When I was young, I thought that I could live here in isolation for the rest of my life." .”

Shangguanyi glanced around and said, "This is indeed a good place to retire."

Wang Yu smiled bitterly and said: "The Wang family in Taiyuan will not participate in the affairs between the court and the five surnames. After you go down the mountain, the old man will send away the scholars who go home. They are all scholars and young people. They should have them." The future that I should strive for.”

Hearing that Wang Yu was going to dismiss the scholars, Shangguanyi raised his expression and said, "The Patriarch of the Wang family is enlightened, and I admire you."

Wang Yu waved his hand and said, "The old man has said everything that needs to be said. What you want to know, you will understand after you go down the mountain."

After speaking, Wang Yu sat on the stone chair and closed his eyes, as if closing his eyes to rest his mind.

Shangguanyi and Duan Lun walked down Tianlong Mountain together, Duan Lun pondered Wang Yu's words over and over again along the way.

At the foot of the mountain, a servant of the Wang family handed over a dossier.

Before Duan Lun took the file and opened it, he saw that the servant was already crying.

Shangguanyi asked suspiciously, "Why are you crying?"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a wail from the mountain.

The two looked back from the mountain together.

The servant who handed the dossier to Duan Lun choked up and said, "If the Patriarch gives this to you, the Patriarch will not be able to live."

Shangguan Yi asked, "What do you mean!"

The servant wiped his tears and said: "Five surnames and seven wangs, even if one family is missing, the Wang family in Taiyuan can't help themselves. The morals of this world have never been decided by one family!"

Duan Lun's face changed suddenly, and he tried his best to go up the mountain along the steps.

He ran all the way to the top of the mountain and walked into the house.

The servants who were waiting on the side all knelt on the ground and wept.

Only the head of the Wang family fell on the stone chair.

Shangguanyi stepped forward to check his breath and pulse and said, "He's gone."

The servant who was kneeling on the ground said: "You two, please spare the family members of the Wang family clan from now on, the patriarch has already left! This is his last wish! The Wang family really has no intention of participating in the struggle between the five surnames and the court."

Shangguanyi said tremblingly: "Then there is no need to lose a life!"

"You are not members of the five surnames. You don't understand the current situation. The Wang family in Taiyuan is weak. It is no longer what it used to be. The patriarch entrusted you with such an important thing. Even if the patriarch refused to take the poison and committed suicide, the five surnames would not let go." Play housekeeper."

Duan Lun held the dossier in his hand and kept taking deep breaths to calm down his emotions.

Half an hour ago, he could still talk and laugh, but now he just left.

After staying here for a long time, Duan Lun and Shangguanyi walked out of the house in a daze.

Sitting on the stone steps, Shangguanyi said to Duan Lun: "I was still confused at first, but now I finally understand what Wang Yu said."

Duan Lun said: "I know how dark these aristocratic families are, but I didn't expect to reach this point. Do you think I should blame myself? Are we the ones who forced Wang Yu to death?"

Shangguanyi was quiet for a long time, looked at the sky and said, "Wang Yu asked how much confidence we have in the imperial examination. Maybe he is also looking forward to the day when all the scholars in the world will have a bright future."

Duan Lun opened the file in his hand, looking at the accounts and human lives.

Shangguanyi said: "Whether it's a mountain of knives or a sea of ​​fire, we have no way out now."

Duan Lun stood up and said, "Let's go."

Shangguanyi was a little taken aback, "What are you doing?"

"Why do you want to give Wang Yu a funeral? The evidence is all in my hands, and I will handle the case with someone!"

Following Duan Lun down the mountain, Shangguanyi also got on his horse and headed towards Taiyuan again.

On the second day of Wang Yu's death, as Wang Yu said, all the scholars controlled by the Wang family were dismissed. Some of these scholars will return to their hometowns to teach, and some will prepare for the next year's imperial examination.

Duan Lun brought a team of officers and soldiers to the government office of a county magistrate.

When the county magistrate of the government office saw the officers and soldiers barging in, he pushed himself to the ground in front of him.

The county magistrate looked at Duan Lun and said, "Didn't you check it? Why do you want to arrest me because I am an upright official?"

Duan Lun sneered and said, "It's really pretending. In May of the third year of Zhenguan, you privately embezzled 36 fields and sold them to the rich and powerful Xu Wang's family! There is such a thing!"

Hearing this, the county magistrate turned pale.

Duan Lun said coldly: "If I can tell you exactly the date and the field, you should know what I have in my hand?"

The county magistrate completely lost his confidence.

Duan Lun shouted: "Take it away!"

A few days later, Taiyuan, which was originally calm and peaceful, suddenly became chaotic.

Shangguanyi and Duan Lun led officers and soldiers to arrest people everywhere.

All the officials in Taiyuan were arrested in sevens and eighties.

After the funeral of the Patriarch of the Wang family, the news quickly spread throughout the entire Shandong territory.

The news also reached the ears of other people with five surnames.

Cui Fu rushed to Taiyuan with his people, and came to the Wang family in Taiyuan to mourn.

In the mourning hall, Cui Fu saw Duan Lun, "Brother Duan, long time no see."

Duan Lun also looked at Cui Fu and said, "It's been a long time indeed."

Looking at the mourning hall, Cui Fu said: "I've been traveling around these days since I left the five surnames. I didn't expect such a situation in the Wang family. His son and daughter are both in Chang'an. I think I should know the news soon."

Duan Lun nodded.

Cui Fu said again: "In my impression, Wang Yu is not such a bad person. He is very honest and kind. There are some things like this in a family with five surnames. It is a joke to talk about being in the same breath. Wang Yu sent his daughter and son away to keep his children, and he has tried his best to do that."

"I hope his spirit in heaven can rest in peace."

Just as he was talking, another one walked into the mourning hall, and it was Zheng Pou from the Zheng family with five surnames.

At the beginning, Zheng Po went to negotiate with Li Zheng on behalf of the five surnames. After returning, Zheng Po rarely showed up in front of people.

Zheng Po bowed deeply towards the mourning hall, then looked towards Duan Lun.

Shangguanyi saw Zheng Pou in Jingyang, and naturally recognized him at a glance.

It's just that Zheng Po just saluted and left without saying anything.

"That person just now was Zheng Pou." Shangguanyi said to Duan Lun.

"I see." Duan Lun also whispered.

Cui Fu said, "Duan Lun, when things in Taiyuan are over, where are you going next?"

"We'll go to Zhaojun when the things here are done."

Cui Fu took a deep breath, "Zhao Jun is the most powerful of the five surnames. You have taken care of the Lu family and the Wang family. Now it should be Zhao Jun's turn. If you overthrow Zhao Jun, your trip can be regarded as a success."

"Hopefully."

Shangguanyi said.

Duan Lun also said: "Taiyuan has to be cleaned up in the next two days. We will leave for Zhao County in a few days. Can Mr. Cui go with us?"
