Red House Shoufu

Chapter 296 Emperor Suspect
Most of the people in Jiqingfang are middle-level and high-level military generals. When the officials rushed into the gate of Jiqingfang, the noise had already spread to most of the city.

After listening to the butler's report, Liao Yufeng's face turned blue with anger. He didn't expect things to turn out like this in the end.

"My lord, according to what this old slave wants, I'd better ask some old generals for help, at least get rid of these sour scholars first."

The butler was worried. The officials looked at him just now, as if they were looking at a piece of dog shit. By analogy, his master's reputation might not even be as good as dog shit.

Originally, I wanted to use some respected old generals in the workshop to drive away the officials surrounded outside the mansion first, but I just went to try it, and I didn't even enter the gate.

With a bang, Liao Yufeng threw all the dishes on the Kang table to the ground.He scolded loudly: "What a son of the Lin family, to incite this group of sour scholars to make trouble. Isn't he afraid of triggering civil and military disputes?"

……

"Bastard! Who is manipulating these Confucian scholars behind the scenes? Isn't it messy enough?"

The emperor threw the memorial on the table onto Zuo Lan's forehead, and scolded angrily: "What do the Embroidered Guards do? So many Confucian scholars gather, and you don't have any news?"

A chivalrous man breaks the ban with martial arts, and a Confucian man breaks the law with his literature.Although the emperor knew that this group of Confucian scholars would not cause turmoil in the capital, if someone took advantage of this to form a clique for personal gain and make a disturbance against the palace ban, it would be a big trouble.

And if the group of killers in Jiqingfang couldn't help but move their hands, will the civil and military dispute that was suppressed with great difficulty become serious again?
Zuo Lan finally had a chance to speak. He touched the scarlet spots on his forehead, and reported calmly: "According to the investigation of Xiuyiwei, among this group of Confucian scholars is Tang Xiong, a student of the Imperial Academy who is only twelve years old. The Lin family. However, the minister sent secret guards to talk about it, but he just didn't feel that the Liao family was bullying too much, so he complained a few words with his classmates."

Xia Shouzhong added in a low voice in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, this Tang Xiong is the second son of Tang Jiu, the commander of the Jinling Guard, and the eldest son Tang Ying, Yayuan of the Nanzhili Township Examination in the fifth year of Longsheng Senior High School. It is a pity that the old lady of the Tang family is seriously ill. I missed the two exams because of my filial piety. Years ago, I went out to travel around, encountered banditry in Shandong and Jinling, the second room of the Xue family, and fled to the capital, temporarily staying at the Lin family."

Xia Shouzhong explained the emperor in this way and he understood that Nanny Zhang would send the situation of the Lin family to the palace every once in a while, and Daiyu also mentioned a few words to herself in the letter.

This Tang Xiong was drunk when he was ten years old and boasted that he would surpass his brother in the examination room, he is a rare young talent.Tang Ying was filial, capable of both civil and military skills, quite like Li Taibai's heroism, and escorted the second wife of Xue's family with a sword to escape the pursuit. He was loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous, and deserved the title of a gentleman.

The emperor still had some reflections on the affairs of the Tang family, and he asked, "Did Tang Jiu's father die in battle while following the British Gongnan expedition?"

"Yes, my lord, Tang Jiu was taught by his mother since he was a child, and he is very brave."

Zuo Lan continued to reply: "The minister has already found out that there are two reasons for this incident of Confucian scholars. One is that the Lin family's reputation is very good among the scholars. The Lin scholars fought in Henan in the first battle and Tianmen Mountain in the second World War. Being jokingly called Little Zhuge, the officials were not resentful that their Wen Kui was bullied by such brave and foolhardy warriors as Liao Yufeng. Secondly, it was because of the Rongjia county magistrate..."

Hearing Zuo Lan mention Daiyu, the emperor asked, "What happened to Rong Jia?"

"When His Majesty bestowed the title of county lord back then, the situation of the county lord has been passed down in the capital for a long time. Originally, everyone just admired Duke Lin's loyalty and felt sorry for the county lord who lost his mother at the age of six and his father at the age of nine. The big county lord is extremely kind. He cooks porridge for disaster relief during his filial piety. After coming to Beijing, he has donated many times to support the almshouse. The poor people in the capital benefit a lot. Guozijian is adjacent to Linfu, so those supervisors have heard a lot about it. Promote justice This is the pursuit of Confucian scholars, so..."

As soon as Zuo Lan finished his explanation, the emperor already understood the reason.The group of supervising students in the Imperial College was at their most passionate.

The comparison between Liao Yufeng, Lin Shu and Daiyu, no matter in terms of knowledge and reputation in the capital, is like a natural moat. Let alone this group of officials of the Lin family who are inclined to the scholarly family, even ordinary people in the capital are full of contempt for the Liao family. .

At this time, the embroidered guard sent to inquire about the news sent the latest news, and the emperor was a little bit dumbfounded after reading the secret letter in his hand.

It turned out that the Confucian scholars surrounding Liao Yufeng's house were so angry that they didn't dare to show their faces. Even the people in Jiqingfang, who were close to the Liao family, guarded the door tightly and no one came out.

Even the guards who patrolled the city after hearing the news, just maintained the order at the scene and did not drive them away. It was not until Qian Qianli and Lin Shu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, appeared that they calmed down the angry officials.

Qian Qianli is the head of Qingliu, with a lofty status.Lin Shu was one of the parties involved, and he was also the head of the court.The two came hand in hand, and never looked at the Liao's mansion from the beginning to the end, and didn't mention the Liao family.It’s just that the sky is clear and the sky is clear, which is suitable for visiting the beautiful scenery of Nanchi. Wouldn’t it be beautiful to enjoy the scenery and recite poems?
Such a beautiful thing is exactly the wish of the Confucian scholars, and the group followed Qian Qianli and Lin Shu to Nanchi. It is estimated that the meeting has already begun to recite poems and compose Fu.

"Your Majesty, do you need to send out the forbidden army to disperse these Confucian scholars?"

Seeing the emperor's strange expression, Zuo Lan thought it was a civil and military struggle in Jiqingfang, so she whispered a reminder.

The emperor asked Xia Shouzhong to pass the secret letter in his hand to Zuo Lan: "No need, the people have dispersed... It's not right, they will find new fun now, and the Liao family has escaped."

Zuo Lan glanced at ten lines, and after a quick glance, a stone in her heart fell to the ground.Regardless of whether there is someone manipulating behind this group of Confucian scholars, the crime of oversight by Xiu Yiwei is inevitable.Fortunately, this matter was resolved early, otherwise things would be in big trouble.

Alas, he owes the Lin family another favor!
……

The Wenhui by the South Pond naturally ended perfectly, and Lin Shu's reputation in the scholarly circle increased again in one afternoon.

The officials were able to have a banquet at the same table with the Minister of Rites, the head of the Qingliu, and Qian Qianli's pointers on their poems, all of them were full of red faces.

The one-word teacher is also a teacher, and the officials felt that they could be said to be Lin Shu's fellow disciples, so they threatened to come to Liao's mansion again, and wrote scolding words on every wall of Liao's house.

Lin Shu, who couldn't laugh or cry, quickly persuaded the group of passionate youths, saying frankly that if the incident continued, it might lead to civil and military disputes, which would be detrimental to the overall situation of the court.He also said that Uncle Jia had already broken Liao Yufeng's dog leg, and he and his sister were all relieved.

In the end, I sincerely thanked all the chivalrous gentlemen for their help, and did not leave Nanchi Meilin with Qian Qianli until the sun went down.

The carriage was traveling eastward, amidst the clattering of hooves, Qian Qianli said, "I understand why the teacher is in such a hurry to bring you to persuade them to leave?"

Hearing the teacher's question, Lin Shu's drunkenness subsided a little.He replied respectfully: "The teacher is afraid that someone will use this to provoke trouble, making His Majesty feel that the student is suspected of manipulating Shilin."
