Chapter 118 Dispute
Qinshanfang, Yingri Garden.

Beside the railing on the small building, Xu Hexing was still staring at the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cell leader Liu Bing was already leaning there and fell asleep.

After a while, Zhong Xiqing came over with a yawn and said, "I'll take your turn, go to sleep."

"Let's go after dark." Xu He said.

"Why? Li Xia has already entered the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, what are you still staring at?"

"There is going to be an action soon, let's keep an eye on it for a while."

"Ok."

Zhong Xiqing turned around and took a food box, brought out two bowls of Sanxian noodles, and handed a bowl to Xu Hexing.

"Here you are, I ordered the shopkeeper specifically, but I didn't put onions for you."

"Thank you." Xu Hexing took it.

Zhong Xiqing kicked Liu Bing again, and said, "Why don't you sleep, there's still a bowl over there, you can eat it."

"Yes Yes……"

Xu Hexing held the noodles and said while eating, "I suspect that Li Xia has left the Right Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Are you stupid? I saw him go in last night."

"The person watching the side door said that he saw Cheng Yu running out of the side door at noon, looking for someone everywhere. Maybe Li Xia ran away hiding under the cart that delivered the food in the morning?"

Zhong Xiqing didn't take it seriously, took a sip of the noodles, and said, "Why should he run?"

"do not know."

Xu Hexing turned his head and saw a few imperial students coming from the long street, making noise all the way, and finally set up a stall at the entrance of an alley not far away.

One of them was carrying a book on his back, and the sunshade cloth blocked most of his figure.

"What are those people doing?"

Zhong Xiqing turned his head and swept away, and said, "What are they doing?"

"Oh, scholar..."

~~
Li Xia raised his head slightly, and vaguely saw the figure in the small building again.

Now he not only dared to stare at the right minister's mansion, but also moved the source of the inquiring news to his side.

Because he has already followed several Tai students by his side.

"Bohu's poem, at first glance, is plain and straightforward, but after thinking about it, it is elegant and handsome, with an uninhibited style."

"The first two sentences use the four words 'no' in succession. They are concentrated and straightforward. The last two sentences are even more...hehe, indifferent to fame and fortune, indifferent to fame and fortune..."

After hearing the comments from his classmates, Huang Yong couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He thought the poem "Tang Yin Tang Bohu" was really good, but what a pity...if only his paintings could match this poem.

"Bohu, whose poems do you like?"

Li Xia recalled for a while, and said, "Li Bai."

All the students were overjoyed and discussed one after another.

"Sure enough, sure enough, which poem by Li Taibai does Bohu like best?"

"A Quiet Night Thought."

"Uh...haha, "Thoughts in a Quiet Night" is really exquisite. With your poetic style, it looks like you are studying Li Taibai's poems."

"I think the ambition in Bohu's poems is most like Li Taibai in Du Gongbu's "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking". Claiming to be a minister of wine, Bohu, how did you learn poetry?"

Li Xia said sincerely: "I don't understand poetry, I just have it in my mind, so I read it casually."

"This……"

Several Tai students were stunned, full of emotion.

"It can only be said that 'articles are made naturally, and skillful hands can get them by chance'."

"Poetry talks about talent the most, and Bohu has such a talent..."

Huang Yong was halfway through speaking, and saw Li Xia's painting again, and suddenly felt that God was very fair.

After much difficulty, they talked about Su Shi from Li Bai, and then from Xin Qiji to Liu Kezhuang...and finally began to criticize current affairs again.

"Speaking of Mr. Liu, I deeply hate Shi Miyuan and Shi Song's uncles and nephews, who successively became ministers of power and brought disaster to the country and the people!"

"That's right, how many loyal and righteous men have been persecuted by a 'poetry disaster'? Mr. Liu was falsely accused of slandering current affairs because of the line in the poem "Luomei" that 'Dongfeng absurdly holds power, but avoids arrogance and does not stand for it', so he was unemployed for ten years. , This is the loss of the Song Dynasty."

"The position of Shi Song's corpse minister, the order of revival, the law of destroying the ancestors, bah!"

"Master Zuo has been fighting Shi Songzhi all his life, and finally defeated Shi Songzhi, and Ding Daquan came again, alas."

"Yes, the current situation is difficult. Not only powerful officials, traitors, eunuchs, but also generals are also fighting for power with the left. Zhao Kui was also..."

"Zhao Kui?" Li Xia suddenly became serious.

He finally heard the word "Zhao Kui".

Because Yang Guo said that the news that Song Ting went to Kaifeng to get the information was passed to Zhao Kui.

Seeing that Li Xia was interested, several scholars discussed more enthusiastically.

"When the Kingdom of Jin was destroyed that year, Zhao Kui went to the Shu to ask for a battle to regain the Kingdom of Jin. In the end, Duanping was defeated. Since then, there has been no peace in the Huaihe River. It is hateful!"

"The prime minister must use the wise words of a scholar. Zhao Kui doesn't take the imperial examinations, but discusses the government indiscriminately, which brings disaster to the country and the people."

"He has always been at odds with the left, and he fights for military exploits. It's strange not to fight for power."

"The main battle? You have to have soldiers and food to fight, and if you are defeated in a flat battle, isn't that enough to show that a warrior can't succeed?"

"There are continuous wars and disasters on the border, the land is barren, and the people are in dire straits. If it weren't for the loss of peace, why did this happen?"

"It's a pity that Prime Minister Zuo worked so hard..."

Huang Yong suddenly said: "What you said is true, but I think that Prime Minister Zuo shouldn't, absolutely shouldn't, and shouldn't force Yu Jie to be killed."

Li Xia was taken aback, turned his head, and asked, "Did Prime Minister Zuo force Yu Jie to be killed?"

Huang Yong sighed, nodded, and said: "Zuo Xianggong and Zhao Xianggong have always been at odds. Yu Jie is Zhao Xianggong's disciple, and Zuo Xianggong has a lot of grievances... Besides, Yu Jie is not without faults. The memorandum is sparse, and the tone of the words is not careful, and it is really ignorant of the etiquette of serving the emperor."

"Isn't the tone?" Li Xia was a little puzzled.

Forced to kill heroes just because of "unscrupulous words"?

However, there was another dispute among several Tai students.

"Zhao Kui lost his position, but it was the Zuo Xiang's fault. As Zhao Kui's disciple, Yu Jie stood up for Zhao Kui, made troubles everywhere, and deliberately sent someone to replace the Rongzhou Commander arranged by the Zuo Xiang. These warriors provoked every step of the way. , Zuo Xiang just called Yu Jie back to the court, Yu Jie was a guilty conscience and dared not come, so he committed suicide by taking poison. Where did Zuo Xiang go wrong?"

Huang Yong said: "I'm not saying that the left side is wrong, I just think that even if the political opinions are not in harmony, there is no need to force the general to be killed."

"Forced to kill? Yu Jie supported his own self-respect, was exposed by the left minister, and committed suicide in fear of crime. What is forced to kill?!"

"Bringing personal grievances into the government, how can it not be forced to kill?!"

"Qizhi, what do you mean by this? Accusing the left minister?"

Huang Yong was displeased, and said: "I'm not blaming the prime minister, I'm just discussing the facts."

"Qizhi, why do you have to speak for Yu Jie? Yu Jie accumulated money and was convicted of the seven deadly crimes. This matter has been settled!"

"Where is the conclusion?"

"The supervisory censor has long been charged with crimes."

Huang Yong said: "Why don't you listen to the statements of the soldiers and civilians in the middle of Shu? Why don't you listen to the statements of the old soldiers in Huaiyou?"

"The court has its own public opinion, 'the former commander of Shu, Yu Jie, has nothing to do with the township, the soldiers are suffering from conquests, and the people are trapped in conquests', the words are convincing, the court has already copied Yu Jie's family property to help the people, what is there to talk about ?”

"I don't care what the supervisory censor says, I believe in the veterans in Huai, the people in Sichuan and Sichuan..."

"Qi Zhi, how many old soldiers in Huai River and common people in Sichuan and Shu have you seen? Listening to the wind is rain?"

Huang Yong said: "Mr. Zuo is wrong about this matter! Sooner or later, Yu Jie's case must be overturned!"

"enough!"

"Yellow Qizhi! Do you want to be on Ding Daquan's side by saying that the left side is wrong?! You and I will cut off our robes and judge justice!"

A Tai student suddenly yelled loudly, and actually "hummed" heavily, then turned around and left.

……

Li Xia felt speechless.

He looked up at the small building not far away, and a thought floated up in his mind.

"It turns out that the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, the left minister and the envoy of the Privy Council, the honest and loving Uncle Xie Fang is a peacemaker. And in this court, for the sake of phase disputes, unjust killing, hammer killing, poison killing, forced killing... what can't be done? come out?"

The next moment, the door of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion was opened.

I saw Nie Zhongyou leading a group of sharp men get on their horses and gallop away.
