Father Han Gaozu

"My lords!! The villain who has bullied us all these years has been exposed. He dare not go out now, and he dare not even defend himself! He has confessed his crime!! This is a blessing for my Confucianism!!"

Xiao Fen stood in the middle and spoke loudly.

There are quite a few Confucian scholars gathered around, among them there are gray-haired masters and many young juniors, the number is huge, they occupy the most middle position in the Taixue, this is the place where the temple sent people to gather in the past, Now all of them are Confucian scholars, and the rest of the schools are starting to avoid them. It is said that Wang Gao has given an order to Huang Lao. If you encounter Confucianists, don’t argue with them anymore. You can hide as far as you can, probably because you are afraid of them. When he died, he splashed his blood all over his body.

But this is a different scene in the eyes of those young people.

They think this is a sign of the resurgence of Confucianism. Didn't they dare to provoke us if they didn't see Huang Lao?Those hateful thieves who always refuted us in the past, when they saw us now, their eyes were full of fear, and they walked around themselves. This is the best proof that the big female thieves hiding among us have been eradicated. Never dare to underestimate Confucianism again! !

Of course, these credits are all on Xiao Fen's head. They really believe that Xiao Gong is going to lead them to bring Confucianism to the position of the most prominent school.

As for those big guys, their eyes are a little different.

They tend to stand back, and they are more concerned about the implementation of the decree. Now Xiao Fen is doing very lively, but it still has no effect on the decree. This is what they value. If the decree cannot be changed , then they won't be with you anymore
Xiao Fen worked hard here.

Standing at the top, Xiao Fen looked at the people surrounding him, and couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

This dream location is really good, and the view is so far away.

Having nothing, I finally climbed to where I am today.

Xiao Fen's eyes flickered with longing. Many thoughts that he didn't dare to exist in the past are now lingering in his ears, leading him to move on.

I have never been treated fairly in my life.

At least, Xiao Fen thought so.

As a distant relative of the No. [-] Marquis of the Han Dynasty, he didn't get any good treatment, and was forbidden to go out to do things in the name of the eldest father. He was still very young, so his father sent himself to the teacher's side cruelly. go home by yourself.

I have been studying for more than ten years, and I can't even become a doctor. In order to humiliate myself, Fu Qiubo even hypocritically brought himself to Taixue, and threw himself a position as a teacher, so he ignored it.

He also always comes to his own classroom to criticize, targeting himself, looking for his own shortcomings.

He even wrote a letter to his teacher to complain, saying that he was not good.

I kindly gave him a gift to improve the relationship, but he refused, old man, do you know how much that gift is worth? !
He also always secretly finds those colleagues to target him, they treat him badly, once they quarrel, Fuchubo always calls them over afterwards, really think I don't know this?
This man deserves what he deserves!He is a female gangster!He flatters the king and has no talent because he has a good teacher. He is just pretending to be hypocritical, and he wants to destroy Confucianism! ! !

He also wants to show his talents, he also wants to stand on this high ground and look down on everyone, he also wants to lead the Confucian school to prosperity, and he wants to show those who look down on him, how inferior they are!

Xiao Fen woke up suddenly, and looked at the many Confucian scholars in front of him again. At this moment, his face began to flush.

"My lords, the female cadres and thieves are no longer afraid to speak out, so we should get down to business... Today there is a female cadre, Chao Cuo, who deceives the emperor, enforces unfilial laws, and persecutes the world's virtuous people. Now the big man is in danger. , those of us should sacrifice our lives for righteousness! We have to do three things. First, we must find a way to rescue those dutiful sons who were convicted of such crimes! Second, we must attack Chao Cuo who made this law, and we cannot let him continue Bewitch the king! In the end, we want to educate the world!! Act like a saint!!!”

Confucian scholars are said to be more
Excited, they all applauded.

In the past few days, Chao Cuo laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

After seeing the release of the latest Confucian newspaper, he knew in his heart that this time he came to live a big life.

He did not act in a hurry, and uncharacteristically removed the officials who supervised them, and told Fu Tingwei not to rush to act. After all, it was a struggle within Confucianism, and it was not convenient for us to intervene.

Then, various rumors in Taixue continued to spread.

First, there were many rumors against Fuchubo, the distortion of his words and deeds, and then a thorough crusade against him. They wanted to strip Fuchubo off, took his remarks over the years as evidence, and started wantonly Propaganda, slander.

Chao Cuo sat in the upper seat with a smile on his face.

Hearing Zhao Yu's report, he even couldn't help laughing out loud.

In fact, the Yushi Mansion is a very serious place. Those who work here basically look like strangers, but at this moment, the atmosphere in the Yushi Mansion is really good. The serious Zhao Yu couldn't help grinning at the corners of his mouth when talking about the situation in Taixue, with a faint smile on his face, and Chao Cuo was the most obvious. Listening to his subordinate's report, he covered his forehead several times, Suppressed not to laugh out loud.

Everyone looked at Chao Cuo seriously, with their hands already on the hilt of their swords.

Chao Cuo looked at them and suddenly laughed.

These originally serious officials couldn't help laughing.

Chao Cuo shook his head, "There are still such stupid people in the world... I originally wanted to rectify Taixue, but because of Fu Qiubo, I didn't dare to do it in a hurry... Hahaha, this is good, Fu Qiubo Those scolded by them will leave Taixue!"

"Hahaha...what's that called?"

"Xiao Fen."

"Xiao Dung, right? This person is really good, a hero... I have to let him die quickly, it's a reward for him... Why is this guy so on the road? I was still thinking about it Let him point the spearhead at Fuchubo one step at a time... He has already done it before I make a move, you are a genius!!"

Chao Cuo seldom cracked jokes, and even such a serious person on weekdays couldn't help it now.

Chao Cuo was really happy. It would be great if there were more people like Xiao Fen in the world. He didn't need to think of ways to deal with others.

Everyone also laughed.

Zhao Yu stood up slowly, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist, "Mr. Chao, is it time to act?"

Chao Cuo shook his head disdainfully, "What's the hurry... What can be done in such a hurry? Isn't he still going to finish those three things? We have to wait for him to finish it..."

But Zhao Yu hurriedly said: "Mr. Chao...they have been targeted by many people, not just us, the crown prince's side, Fengchang's mansion, the two prime minister's mansions, and even the Taiwei's mansion...the lieutenant's mansion and so on... They have already set their sights on them... I am afraid that if the delay is too long, the prey will belong to others.”

Chao Cuo was a little surprised, "I can understand everything else, what's the situation in Taiwei's Mansion?"

"After discussing with some ministers, Xiao Fen thought that the Taiwei followed the legacy of the Spring and Autumn Period, and thought that he would pay attention to the etiquette left over from the past, so he wrote a letter to the Taiwei... This made the officials in the Taiwei's mansion start to pay attention to the situation of the Taixue... "

Chao Cuo's face changed a little, "They even dare to provoke the Taiwei?? Why do they think the Taiwei supports them???"

"Um... It was Xiao Fen who told the rest of the officials that when the Taiwei was young, he lost his mother. Because the family was poor and couldn't organize a funeral, he couldn't afford a decent burial, so he buried her in a flat place, and made an oath to everyone, In the future, a city will be built, and 1 people will be arranged to guard her tomb... Later, when he became a prince and queen, he also sent people to repair the mausoleum of his mother and let people guard it... Therefore, Xiao Fen believed that the Taiwei was a true filial son, and he would definitely support his actions..."

The smile on Chao Cuo's face immediately collapsed.

"Can it be the same... Taiwei thinks that he has not been able to serve Xiao Fen before and directly defines him as seeking fame??"

Chao Cuo hurriedly got up, his face was a little anxious, "No more, no more, hurry up and act... If you wait any longer, the Taiwei will call the Northern Army to slaughter the Confucianists..."

Xiao Fen himself may not be aware of it, but his behavior is really poking the Taiwei's wound with his hands, and after poking, he spits on his face.

Originally, the Taiwei lost his father when he was ignorant, and was pulled up by his mother with difficulty, but he sent his mother away before he made a fortune, so he always felt that he owed his mother. During that time, he was probably the last thing he wanted to talk about. The thing about it... that's great, you dare to use this thing to write a book? ?As for guarding the mother's spirit, it's because of the guilt of the Taiwei. He wanted to do something for the mother. You just came here to bury her grandly. Is it to ridicule the Taiwei for doing this to seek fame? ? ?
Well, it's a talent!
"Master! Master!! Don't worry!! Don't worry!!"

Liu Chang hugged Han Xin tightly, and Han Xin was waving a sharp sword in his hand, furious, but he couldn't break free.

Lu Lu was so frightened that he hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After Han Xin saw Xiao Fen's letter, his whole body exploded, what kind of bird are you?I want to kill your five clans! ! !

Fortunately, Liu Chang stopped the furious teacher in time, and Liu Chang also felt that the letter was outrageous, not to mention that he was Zhong's father, showing that he was a distant relative of Tan Hou, and he said that the middle part even vaguely brought Blaming the Taiwei for not having a decent burial, saying sorry to his parents... Who can bear this?

"Teacher, it's easy to kill a few people... But what I want to do is not just kill people, I want to kill thoughts... Don't worry! I will definitely chop off his head, but it's not the right time yet!"

Liu Chang tried to persuade Han Xin again and again, but Han Xin put away his anger.

"Teacher, it's not just you, I can always receive letters from him here too, heh, I haven't done anything for a long time, just to uproot them... These people interfere with the affairs of the temple in the name of etiquette, and now they are still in their infancy , I have already seen through it. After going out, they will make up more rituals, what are the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, using the name of etiquette to suppress human nature and suppress thoughts, and will bring the entire Han Dynasty, no, the entire China into the abyss !! This time, I will completely solve this situation!!!」

"Confucianism grows from the roots and has many branches. I want to chop off the broken branches for him! lest it grow into a crooked neck tree in the future..."

Han Xin took a deep breath, his eyes still fierce. "Then why don't you go?!"

"I've already arranged it, just wait and see!"

Fuqiubo hid in his study and did not go out anymore, and voluntarily resigned from the position of Taixue Grand Priest, and taught himself those few disciples with peace of mind. The enemy's Confucian scholars started their own plan, which is the first step of the plan, to rescue those dutiful sons who were arrested.

They began to publish large-scale speeches in the newspapers and conduct public opinion offensives, and they just promoted the filial piety of these arrested people and accused the tyranny of the officials who arrested them. They were not only in the newspapers, but also in various places. They began to preach, and they took to the streets on a large scale, and even once wanted to give lectures in Chinese studies at all levels. The Confucian scholars in Chang'an became lively. Model, they seem to have suffered inhuman torture in the prison, Xiao Fen always has tears in his eyes when he mentions them.

Chao Cuo led the people and hurriedly set off towards Taixue, but just halfway there, they encountered obstacles.

Anyone else blocking the way would have been arrested long ago, but this one is unusual.

It was Ju Meng who came, and he stood in the middle of the road with a smile, and walked to Chao Cuo's side with a smile, "Mr. Chao... I have ordered the crown prince to wait for you here... The crown prince has orders, please wait a little longer." , now is not the time to act.”

"Oh? Why is the prince so concerned about Confucianism?"

"I don't know about that, I just know that Lu Sizhong came to convey the order..."

Chao Cuo was taken aback, then turned around and ordered, "Let's go back!"

The Confucian scholars became more and more arrogant. They finally began to gather at the gate of the palace to release those who were captured because of their filial piety. At the same time, they shouted on the road and used various methods to rescue these people. There was no response from the temple all the time. Xiao Fen went to Tingwei's Mansion three times to meet Xia Houying.
Couldn't see each other.

This gave the Confucian scholars another target to attack, and that's right, it was the former Tingwei Zhang Shizhi of the Tingwei Mansion.

They thought that Chao Cuo controlled all of Tingwei's mansion, and the root cause was Zhang Shizhi! !

Just when the voice of Confucianism reached its loudest, the temple newspaper was published.

And the top content is the verdict on those dutiful sons.

The result of the verdict is disobedience, and their charges are listed below.

The dutiful son who was arrested in Hanoi was addicted to gambling, spent all his parents’ savings, and fled to avoid his creditors. His family members were harassed all day long. In the end, his parents died of illness one after another. He returned to his hometown to organize the funeral. He asked his younger siblings and many relatives for money in name, threatened them many times, and gained fame through rich burials. He wanted to be the head of the local pavilion with the reputation of filial piety, so as to avoid his gambling debts.

The filial son who was arrested in Hedong County, likes to drink like sex, bullies and dominates the market on weekdays, beats his fellow countrymen many times, insults and threatens his parents many times, keeps his elderly parents busy in the farmland, and plays in the city with his concubine He used his parents as servants. After his mother died of illness, he held a big funeral and buried them generously. He even proposed to keep a filial piety for them for three years. As for the purpose, he still doesn't know, but on his mother's body, he has found The traces of being beaten... the local county magistrate was arrested.

The filial son who was arrested in Nanjun had been a filial piety for his father for three years and had five children in three years. Some people saw him drinking alcohol many times and often bringing different beauties to the mausoleum. Three years later he served as the The local three elders, now that his mother has passed away, he is going to have a grand burial, and then he will keep mourning for two years...

The filial son who was arrested in Jibei County, after investigation, his father died of starvation.

The filial son who was arrested in Cangwu County tried to swallow up his brother's inheritance through a generous burial, scolded his two young children for not organizing the funeral, which was really unfilial, and then occupied the land of his brother's heirs...

The filial son who was arrested in Jiaodong had an affair with his concubine after his father died.

When these criminal evidences were released, the whole Chang'an was once again sensationalized.

Those Confucian scholars who read the newspaper, their eyes changed from dull to angry, then to panic, and then to bewildered... The things they insisted on seemed to be destroyed in an instant. These crimes have been carefully judged, and the crimes are extremely detailed. It even mentioned that the evidence will be brought to Chang'an, and it will be reviewed again in the Tingwei, because the death penalty must be passed through the Tingwei... These are the filial sons we wanted to rescue earlier? ?

The one who was most angry was Xiao Fen.

He was sitting in the study, trembling all over.

"Fake!! These are all fake!! It was fabricated by Chao Cuo... Chao Cuo, yes, it's all Chao Cuo... We want to punish Chao Cuo!! This is all Chao Cuo's crime!!"

And the people around him all looked extremely terrified at this moment, but they didn't dare to agree anymore.

"You have to believe me!! These are all fabricated charges by Chao Cuo!! So many unfilial people, can they be found out in such a short period of time? This must be fabricated..."

"The main reason is Chao Cuo!! We are going to overthrow Chao Cuo, don't those ministers really want Chao Cuo to fall? Chao Cuo is notorious..."

Xiao Fen's voice became hoarse and sharper.

On the same day, the Confucian newspapers once again made shocking remarks. They pointed their spearhead at Chao Cuo, determined that Chao Cuo was a fake, and blamed Chao Cuo for everything that happened in these years, trying to make all the contradictions They all lead to Chao Cuo's head.

But this time, the number of people who stood up and agreed with them was obviously much less. In Taixue, those arrogant people became frightened birds, with dull eyes and blank faces.

Only the most steadfast Confucian scholars of the Ritual School still shouted everywhere, and they started to make big moves again, trying to bring all the conflicts to Chao Cuo.

Immediately, Ting Wei's soldiers knocked on Xiao Fen's door.

When Xiao Fen saw these soldiers, he immediately surrounded himself with his disciples and said loudly: "Did Chao Cuo send you here?! No righteous man in the world can be killed!!"

The leading official shook his head, "I am Tingwei Zuocheng Xuan Moru...Yesterday you sued Tingwei to sue Chao Cuo for falsifying evidence, murdering others, forming a party for personal gain, embezzling money, and robbing women and other crimes, because there are 320 people who filed the lawsuit Four people, Tingwei immediately dispatched, and escorted the defendant Chao Cuo to Tingwei. "

Xiao Fen froze for a moment, "Has Chao Cuo been arrested???"

"The big man encourages the common people to sue the officials. Since you report, we will of course arrest... Let me ask you once, you are not going to withdraw the lawsuit, right?"

"According to the law of the big man, if you lose the false accusation, you will have to sit back...You can sue Chao Cuo for the crime, and more than 1000 people have collectively appealed...I have been in Tingwei Mansion for so many years, and I have never seen it. .”

"However, don't worry, I am a man who governs the world with etiquette and will never favor Chao Cuo because of his identity. We will invite Sangong to take charge of his case and allow others to sit in on it... If he is guilty, no one can protect him. live, if false accusation,,,, "

Xuan Moru laughed, showing his white teeth.At that moment, Xiao Fen trembled all over.

"You're not withdrawing the case, are you?"

"me…"
