Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 445 Unexpectedly

Under the Jixia Academy, in front of the gate of the Yunjun camp, all the generals gathered here, bowed down and saluted, shouting in unison:

"The last general is waiting, I have met the Marquis of Changzhou!"

At this time, Yao Guangxiao had changed from the black monk robe he had been wearing before, and put on the red official robe embroidered with the unicorn treading the clouds patch, which symbolized the status of Marquis.

Hundreds of Tuqi from Youzhou surrounded them as personal guards, marching with horseshoes, their majesty and majesty was astonishing.

At this moment, Yao Guangxiao has changed from that black-clothed monk to a high-ranking and honorable minister of Dayun, doctor Yinqing Guanglu, and imperial conferred the title of Marquis of Changzhou!
Yao Guangxiao got off his horse, slightly raised his hand to the crowd, and said in a deep voice:

"Free gift!"

"Is there any change in Jixia Academy?"

Hearing Yao Guangxiao's inquiry, the leading general of the Forbidden Army hastily reported:

"Reporting to Lord Hou, although many people have come to spy on you, there is nothing unusual in the academy."

Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao felt a little surprised and said:

"No movement at all?"

"Yes."

Di Renjie, who returned to Beijing with Yao Guangxiao, said in a deep voice at the side:

"Confucianism, Legalism, and Famous Schools have great influence. They should feel that His Majesty is just acting impulsively now, and dare not really kill them. They didn't move at this time, but they also wanted to keep their mouths open, so as to encourage the government and the public in the future. public opinion……"

Yao Guangxiao sneered when he heard this, and said:
"When the emperor is angry, if there is no bloodshed, how can it be so easy to end? With the current prestige of the people, His Majesty is determined to kill people, and he is no more afraid of Confucianism and Legalism! You can even use the fate of these three schools. Warn all the scholars and families in the academy, let them be more peaceful!"

There are hundreds of schools of thought, and each school is full of talents, with far-reaching influence.If Xiao Cheng wants to dominate the world, he needs the help of a hundred schools of thought.

However, relying too much on the power of a hundred schools of thought and not deterring it, the Xia Guochaotang suffered a heavy loss of national power due to years of party struggles, but it is vivid in my mind!

Using Confucianism and Legalism, which are among the most powerful among the schools of thought, and the addition of the famous school, to scare the chickens and monkeys, presumably in the future, the schools of thought in Yunguo will be able to settle down and be honest for a long time.

Thinking of this, Yao Guangxiao lightly tossed his loose robe and said with a light smile:
"However, since they were lucky enough to catch them without a fight, it would save us a lot of effort."

The members of the three families were lucky, and they were unwilling to fight against others, but it was also in line with Yao Guangxiao's wishes.

After all, His Majesty is not in Beijing at this time, and people's hearts are floating inside and outside the court.The resistance is too fierce, fearing that disaster will happen.As long as Xiao Cheng returns to the capital, no matter how influential the three schools of Confucianism, Legalism, and Famousness are, this country of Yun will not be in chaos!

Di Renjie on the side immediately cupped his hands and said:
"Xiaguan is willing to go to Jixia Academy and bring out all the students from the three families!"

"You are the Minister of Dali Temple, it is appropriate to be in charge of criminal and prison cases... Xu Zhu wants to guard my side, so I ask General Ying Yang Li Yuanfang to accompany you in!" Yao Guangxiao nodded and said.

Yao Guangxiao and Di Renjie came back according to the order, in addition to five hundred Youzhou Tuqi to protect them, they also sent Xu Zhu and Li Yuanfang, two ninth-level masters, to protect them.

When Di Renjie heard the words, he immediately bowed and saluted, and replied:

"Subordinate to obey!"

On the surface, this Jixia Academy is just a school.But all the hundreds of schools in the world have already settled in it at this time, and the masters of the hundreds of schools are gathered together, and the masters are like a cloud.

Even the "Guangling" Li Yuanfang, who is a ninth-level master, can't be said to come and go freely.

It's just that neither Yao Guangxiao nor Di Renjie felt any danger.

After all, at this time, Xu Su, the Patriarch of the Yin-Yang Family in the Land of Gods and Immortals, Ge Shang, the Patriarch of the Military Family, and Jin Shengyuan, the Patriarch of the Miscellaneous Family, who are ninth-level masters, these three masters who have completely fallen for the court of Yun Kingdom, are in the Jixia Academy .

In addition, at the foot of the Xuegong Mountain, there are tens of thousands of forbidden troops stationed here, ready to fight.Even if the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, nothing will happen.

When Di Renjie led Li Yuanfang into Jixia Academy openly and aboveboard, dozens of eyes hidden in the dark suddenly converged on them.

Alarm bells rang out in Li Yuanfang's heart, and he hurriedly stepped forward, stopping in front of Di Renjie.

Di Renjie's footsteps faltered, he quickly straightened his official robes, pushed away Li Yuanfang's hand, and continued to stride towards the academy, shouting loudly:
"Di Renjie, Minister of Dali Temple, by His Majesty's decree, come to visit Jixia Academy!"

The master of the hundred schools who was hiding in the dark did not move, just watching Di Renjie walk into the entrance palace silently.

At this time, people from hundreds of families who had been waiting for a long time also walked out of the lobby to meet Di Renjie who entered the academy.

When Di Renjie saw the people from all the families come forward, he bowed his hands slightly and said:
"Di Renjie, Minister of Dali Temple, has met all the bachelors and gentlemen!"

Xiao Cheng established the Jixia Academy at the beginning, in order to show the intention of recruiting talented people from all over the world, he selected those with excellent talent, learning and prestige from among the hundreds of schools, awarded them the official title of "Bachelor", which is the same as the fifth rank, and allowed them to talk about the government at will .

Everyone from a hundred families also returned the gift one after another.

Then someone turned to Di Renjie and asked first:
"Today, there is such a big battle outside the academy, and I would like to trouble the minister of Dali Temple to come forward in person. I don't know Mr. Di, can I give you an explanation?"

By now, the two parties already know each other well, and naturally there is no need to use any excuses about the epidemic in Beijing and China.

Di Renjie nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"Recently in Beijing, there are turbulent waves in the dark, and there are even rebels who dare to stretch their black hands into the palace. His Majesty was furious when he heard about it, and ordered the Marquis of Changzhou and this officer to rush back to Beijing to investigate the matter thoroughly!"

Hearing this, among the crowd, Ji Fang and Gongsun Song were shocked, and their expressions became a little ugly.

Sure enough, it was because of this...

Jiao Shan, the principal of the farm family in Jixia Academy, frowned at this moment and said:
"This matter has been widely circulated, and people in Jixia Academy have heard of it... But it is said that this matter was written by Yizihou Ma Minwen. If we want to investigate, it should start from Yizihou's mansion. Ah, why do you want to attack my school?"

When Di Renjie heard this, he said in a deep voice:

"Of course it's because someone was involved!"

Having said that, Di Renjie looked up and glanced at everyone present, and said loudly:
"May I ask the Confucian master Mingzhe, the Legalist law master Ji Fang, and the famous scholar Gongsun Song, are there three?"

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of all the people present suddenly showed surprise, and they all focused their attention on the three of them.

Ji Fang's face was ashen, and his expression was very ugly.Gongsun Song frowned, and his eyes moved frequently.

Only Shi Mingzhe, at this time, was able to put on a calm and composed look on the surface, and asked back:

"Dare to ask Mr. Di, do you have any evidence?"

Of course there is no evidence!
But facing Shi Mingzhe's question, Di Renjie raised his head slightly and said:

"Of course there is! It's just that this evidence is extremely important, and I can't show it now. I just invite the three of you to go to Dali Temple with me. When the time comes to find out the facts, it's better to clear one of the three!"

Gritting his teeth, Gongsun Song quickly retorted:
"If you don't show evidence, that means you have nothing? Sir Di, are you planning to follow the example of that cruel official and try to lure me back to Dali Temple, using the methods of that cruel official to beat me to death? Could it be that my lord thinks that my name, Confucianism, and Legalism are different from each other? It's up to anyone to decide!"

When Di Renjie heard the words, he answered the words calmly:
"Because the three schools of Confucianism, Legalism, and Famousness are very prestigious, and being involved in them, I will be cautious, so as not to make wrong judgments or omissions, and it will be difficult to convince the people of the world. If this is the case, why should the three worry too much?"

"No! If you go back with you in full view, where will my three families be innocent and famous?"

"If you don't go back with me, it will be difficult to prove your innocence. Wouldn't it be even more stigmatized?"

At this time, Gongsun Song shook his head again and again, saying:

"No and no! Innocence and innocence are relative concepts. There has never been a definition of innocence and innocence! If I wait to go back with my lord today, I will tell the world that my three families are indeed involved. Since it is no longer innocent How can you prove your innocence?"

The way of famous sophistry is to pay attention to the similarities and differences between nouns and concepts.

Defining "innocent" as two relative concepts directly, completely ignoring the development of the situation, using this to secretly change the concept and complete his own sophistry.

The sophistry of this famous master was originally used to explore the logical relationship between all things in the world, and it is a method of knowing the world.

It's a pity that the methods used by famous sages and sages in the past to explore and comprehend the world, in the hands of today's descendants, have become a low-level means to justify sophistry and use words to gain advantage.

It’s no wonder that today’s famous writers, who obviously haven’t suffered any blows, are only two or three points worse than the miscellaneous writers and novelists who have been suppressed by Xia Guochaotang for decades and can only hide in Yunguo...

Facing Gongsun Song's stalking like a shrew, Di Renjie was very alert and didn't continue to entangle, but said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Gongsun, even if you can gain some advantage by talking, it's irrelevant..."

Having said this, Di Renjie's eyes turned cold, and he shouted:
"I'm not good at sophistry, I only know that the current situation is no longer something Mr. Gongsun can stop with a few words!"

"If the three of you can go back with me at this time, the three schools still have some face. But if you have to wait until the army goes up the mountain to round up, it won't be very good!"

"You!" Gongsun Song gritted his teeth and his face flushed immediately upon hearing this.

At this time, Shi Mingzhe finally stopped him and said:

"The pure is clear, and the turbid is turbid. Since Mr. Di has made his words so clear, you and I shouldn't continue to entangle them."

Shi Mingzhe nodded slightly to Di Renjie, and said:
"I would like to go to Dali Temple with my lord to prove my Confucian innocence!"

Gongsun Song originally wanted to say something, but Ji Fang, who was at the side, grabbed him and motioned him not to speak again.

"My Legalist family, I would also like Yi to go to Dali Temple!"

"Hmph, just go!" Gongsun Song said reluctantly.

In fact, the three of them had communicated with each other before.

Today I saw most of the cloud army surrounding the mountain and waiting in full battle.The Yin-Yang family, military strategists, and miscellaneous families even gathered in the academy, and they already knew that this trip to Dali Temple was unavoidable.

That being the case, it's better to leave with Di Renjie as soon as possible, so that the arrangement that has been arranged can take effect as soon as possible!
When Di Renjie heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and he said calmly:

"The three of you can think so, that's really great!"

After finishing speaking, Di Renjie hurriedly bowed to all the people present, and said:
"There are so many disturbances today, please don't blame me! Your Majesty once said that after returning to Beijing, he will visit Jixia Academy in person to express his apology!"

Everyone from the hundred families, seeing Shi Mingzhe, Ji Fang, and Gongsun Song being taken away in full view, suddenly had their own thoughts in their hearts, and silently responded to each other, but saluted Di Renjie in unison.

After Di Renjie left with the three of them, whispers suddenly sounded in Jixia Academy.

"Shi Mingzhe and the others, are they really involved in this matter?"

"I can't say for sure, I'm afraid that Emperor Yun is taking the opportunity to weaken the power of my hundred families!"

"..."

Hearing the low voices of the crowd, Ge Shang, the leader of the military family, couldn't help it immediately, and said loudly:

"The imperial court is not crazy. It is impossible to use such a thing to frame the three schools of Confucianism, Law, and fame!"

"These three families are inseparably related to the imperial examination fraud case. The ghost knows if one plan failed and another plan was made!" Jin Shengyuan also said in a deep voice.

Maybe it was due to half-belief, or maybe it was due to concerns about the presence of Yin-Yang School, Military School, and Miscellaneous School, the discussion of the crowd finally stopped, and they dispersed with their own thoughts.

At the foot of Jixia Xuegong Mountain, in the barracks of the Yun Army.

Shi Mingzhe opened the tent of the handsome camp, led Ji Fang and Gongsun Song, and walked straight into it.

In the handsome tent, the generals are lined up on both sides.Yao Guangxiao stood in front of the main seat, with his hands behind his back facing the crowd.

Shi Mingzhe looked up at Yao Guangxiao, bowed slightly, and said:
"Meet the Marquis of Changzhou!"

Yao Guangxiao turned around slightly, looked at Shi Mingzhe with slender and slender eyes, and said with great interest:

"Do you know Ben Hou?"

Shi Mingzhe nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"The Marquis of Changzhou was messing up the situation in Jinling City back then, and he turned the Great Xia Society into turmoil. This reputation may not be loud enough in the hearts of the people in the world, but how can it be hidden from my Confucianism?"

Yao Guangxiao nodded upon hearing this, and said:
"The Embroidered Clothes Envoy regarded this Marquis as a great shame and humiliation, and tried his best to conceal what happened in Jinling City back then. But you Confucianism is so clear. Sure enough, the title of the head of a hundred schools is well-deserved!"

"Hou Ye was joking. It's a shame to be the top of the hundred schools. It's all a far-fetched idea of ​​idlers in the world."

After talking for a few words, Yao Guangxiao also felt that the etiquette was about the same, so he said directly:

"Okay, the matter of the rebels in Beijing needs three helpers... Come here! Send the three gentlemen to Dali Temple, so that you can 'entertain and take care of'!"

Li Yuanfang, General Yingyang at the side, hurriedly clasped his fists in response, and led the three of them away.

When Shi Mingzhe and the others left, Di Renjie on the side suddenly stepped forward, frowned at Yao Guangxiao and said:

"Marquis Changzhou, those core disciples of Confucianism, Legalism, and Famous Schools, do you want to arrest them quickly?"

Yao Guangxiao pondered for a while, his eyes moved slightly, and he said with a light smile:
"Shi Mingzhe and the three of them cooperate so much. If we want to arrest all the core disciples of the three families, it will be too much. Besides, we must give them a chance to do it... order, withdraw the troops!"

"Yes!"
-
Under Yao Guangxiao's military order, the army besieging Jixia Academy slowly withdrew.

And in the small market at the foot of Xuegong Mountain, in a bakery, there was a faint figure.

In the backyard of the shop, several shop owners and shop assistants were holding sharp knives and their faces were full of vigilance.

The person sent to investigate the information, walked back quickly at this time, and reported loudly:

"My lord, the Yun army has withdrawn!"

As soon as these words came out, the embroidered envoys in disguise finally let out a long sigh of relief.

The leading embroiderer asked quickly:
"Have you ever found out what happened?"

"The subordinates didn't find out... But when I just came back, I found an unknown letter in front of the door. The information inside may be useful to adults!"

Speaking of this, the embroiderer under him quickly handed over the letter he had just picked up.

The chief embroiderer, with a suspicious look on his face, took the letter and flipped through it casually, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Quickly contact the third-rank embroidered clothes envoy Ma, there is something urgent to report!"
