Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 349 The Defense of Tokyo 37
"Don't dare to stand up? With this little courage, how dare you write a letter?" Wang Xiu couldn't help sneering when he saw that no one answered from hundreds of students. His eyes fell on the face of the older student on the right, and said coldly: " Are you too student?"

Seeing Wang Xiu asking him, the young man couldn't help swallowing, cupped his hands and said, "I'm Zhong Lirui, I've met your lord, they're still at Xuande Gate, and they're about to rush over."

Wang Xiu was surprised to see him straighten his back and declare his family name, Zhong Lirui?Could it be that he has something to do with Mr. Zhongli, knowing that Zhongli is not a common surname, he couldn't help but smile and said: "You are a bit courageous, what is Fu Que for?"

Seeing Wang Xiu's friendly attitude, Zhong Lirui calmed down a little, and said loudly: "I beg for orders for Li Xianggong and Zhong Xianggong. The Tartars invaded, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the court was deceived by Li Bangyan, Wang Xiaodi and other villains, and the two ministers were innocently dismissed." , what's the point?"

Seeing Zhong Lirui's rudeness, Fan Zongyin said that he is a minister who tends to discuss peace, his words were scratched on his face, and he couldn't help scolding: "Presumptuous, how dare you be rude to the superior and talk about the appointment and dismissal of court ministers."

"Lord Fan is so insightful and courageous, why didn't he speak harshly to the captives, but scolded the civilians instead? I admire this courage." Zhong Lirui sneered, and some frivolous people behind him couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering.

"You." Fan Zongyin was ridiculed by Zhong Lirui, his face flushed with anger, his whole body trembled, and he was speechless.

Seeing that Fan Zongyin was humiliated, Qin Hui and Fan Zongyin had a political quarrel, but they had a deep personal relationship. He must not see his old friend being humiliated and losing the dignity of a minister.

"When the barbarians invaded and the etiquette collapsed, the ministers would not hesitate to bow their knees to the barbarians. The students really don't know what etiquette is!" Zhong Lirui said neither overbearing nor humble.

A disharmonious voice came from the crowd: "The prodigal son can also be the prime minister, and the honest gentleman who is loyal to the country is actually dismissed from office. Dare I ask my lord, what is the etiquette?"

Qin Hui was very dissatisfied with the way he dealt with Li Gang and Zhong Lirui, Zhong Lirui's rebuttal left him speechless, and the unknown Tai student made him extremely embarrassed.

However, Wang Xiu looked at Zhong Lirui secretly, seeing that he had delicate features and clear eyes, he should be a man of great use, so he had to find time to ask Mr. Zhongli.

At this time, Geng Nanzhong and Wu Min came out, and not far away were more than a dozen students from the Imperial College. From the point of view, the leaders seemed to be Chen Dong and Ouyang Zhe.He turned around to greet Geng Nanzhong and Wu Min, and said indifferently: "You two gentlemen."

Geng Nanzhong glanced at Wang Xiu, just nodded slightly, obviously aware of the outside affairs, but Wu Min said softly: "Your Majesty heard that Mr. Wang was attacked, so he ordered Royal Medicine to come here."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Xiu walked behind the two, and the imperial doctor applied the medicine.

After Chen Dong, Ouyang Zhe and others arrived, Geng Nanzhong was quite contemptuous, and said arrogantly: "The officials know that you are loyal, and have already restored the official positions of Li Gang and Zhong Shidao. Please don't make noise outside the palace gate, so as not to disturb you. I got the holy car."

Wu Min glanced at Wang Xiu, and said softly, "Everyone is still gone, don't worry Your Majesty, His Majesty has resumed their official positions."

A young man in a white robe took a step forward and said loudly: "Mr. Wu, the students must meet Mr. Li and Mr. Zhong today, otherwise they will never leave."

"Who are you, do you know about serious crimes?" Geng Nanzhong's tone was full of threats.

"Student, I don't know what's wrong with Chen Dong, who was born in the Imperial Academy." The young man in white robe looked at Geng Nanzhong calmly, neither overbearing nor humble.

After Chen Dongcai finished speaking, the blue-robed young man next to him stepped forward and said loudly: "Ouyang Zhe, a student of the Imperial Academy, dare to ask Geng Xianggong, where is the emperor's edict?"

"Chen Dong, Ouyang Zhe, you are so courageous." Geng Nanzhong pointed at the two angrily. He and Wu Min came out to express their condolences. There is no reinstatement order for Li Gang and Zhong Shidao.

Seeing that Wu Min continued to speak, he would definitely anger these students, whoever raised his arms desperately, fearing that he and Geng Nanzhong would suffer, he hurriedly said: "The matter is urgent, Your Majesty ordered everyone to disperse."

"If I don't see the official letter, and Mr. Li and Mr. Zhong are not here, we will wait here." Chen Dong insisted on his own opinion and did not back down.

"Okay then, Lord Geng will ask His Majesty to give instructions, and you must not startle the holy car by making noise." Wu Min nodded to Geng Nanzhong.

Geng Nanzhong understood, it seems that Li Gang and Zhong Shidao were not seen today, everyone vowed not to give up, and wanted to suppress it, just think about it, he doesn't have the guts yet.

When Geng Nanzhong entered Donghua Gate, Wu Min turned to look at Wang Xiu, and said softly, "Zhige, how is your injury?"

Wang Xiu had already covered his forehead, forced a smile, and said, "Skin trauma, it's not a problem, I haven't shed blood yet in the fight with the captives."

Wu Min was very helpless at Wang Xiu's humor, shook his head and said, "At this moment, Zhige is still talking and laughing freely, alas!"

Chen Dong looked at Wang Xiu strangely, seemed to think of something, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, could it be Mr Zhilongtuge King?"

Wang Xiu turned her head and glanced at Chen Dong, and said calmly, "Exactly."

"So it's Mr. Wang. I've admired him for a long time, but I really don't know it's Mr. Wang." Chen Dong bowed solemnly.

When Ouyang Che and the others heard this, they also hurriedly swept their sleeves and bowed solemnly. This is a great gift for scholars, and even the idle ministers may not get it.

"You don't need to give a big gift, I can't afford it." Wang Xiu returned the gift with half a gift. Anyway, he is also a minister of the court, so he is considered approachable.

"My lord can't afford to be a man of civil and military power?" Ouyang Che looked straight at Wang Xiu with admiration.

Wang Xiu felt uncomfortable when they looked at her, and she was also taken aback. In front of Wu Min, Zhang Qiyuan and others, she said that he was not qualified for the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Didn't this put him on the fire?If Ouyang Che and the others were not high school students, and he had a vague understanding of history, they would really suspect that the other party had a conspiracy.

"My lord led a lone army to fight back, broke through the prisoner's great stronghold, and almost captured him alive. I admire you very much for such a feat." Zhong Lirui's eyes flickered.

Wang Xiu waved his hands and smiled, "In the end we still retreat, there is nothing to praise."

"With reinforcements, my lord will surely succeed." Chen Dong glared at Wu Min fiercely, with grief and indignation on his face.

Wang Xiuzhen had a bit of a toothache. He had never regarded victory as a burden. Today he finally realized it. He looked at Chen Dong innocently, and really wanted to shut up this guy, but he didn't see Zhang Qiyuan beside him.

Zhong Lirui's face was filled with embarrassment, he hesitated for a while before saying: "Just now I saw Li Bangyan go to the door, throwing tiles, I don't want to hit you, but I hope you will forgive me!"

"Inadvertent action, what's the crime!" Wang Xiu shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was not worried that Wu Min would hear that one thing is another. He said that Zhong Lirui hit him, and he didn't say that he hit Li Bangyan .

Seeing Wang Xiu's kind attitude, Chen Dong couldn't help but feel emotional, and said excitedly: "Su Wen's lord, Gao Yi, wrote a letter to Fu Que, imploring the emperor to put the country's destiny first, and to reuse Li and Zhong as the two ministers, with the intention of seeking peace." , Losing power and humiliating the country is not advisable, and I hope that adults will speak to the emperor."

Wang Xiu glanced at Chen Dong, and there was a disappointment in the depths of his eyes, pedantic!He has excellent knowledge and is like a blank sheet of paper. He has no idea of ​​the cruelty of political struggle.

Yao Pingzhong became a dog in the water that everyone shouted and beat, but he really went to the battlefield, regardless of his selfishness, he did not surrender.There is no selfishness in cultivating the teacher's way, why did he stay in the city overnight?Li Gang has no selfishness, why did he stand up and send troops in three edicts?That night, the armies of the Imperial Camp Division and the Xuanfu Division took turns to attack. If they went all out, they would exhaust the Jin Army to death.

Of course, this is just his personal opinion, but Chen Dong is reckless, and already has the taste of gathering the crowd to threaten. Although it has a little democratic color, it is a very dangerous extreme democracy. Any class in power will suppress it. Zhao Huan.

Wu Min and Wang Xiu's face was a little displeased, he is also an old man, how could he not understand the tricks, and said: "You should concentrate on studying in Taixue, and in the future you will rule the world for the emperor. There is a decision, but it is about to break up."

Ouyang Zhe glared at Wu Min, and said loudly: "I don't understand, what is the crime of discussing current affairs among Tai students? Didn't your lord live for the common people? Confucius sages and Confucian scholars never discussed current affairs. Was there anything wrong? What the sages have done, I will do later, how could it be a crime of gathering crowds, is it possible that the court forbids scholars to speak?" While speaking, he looked at Wang Xiu and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, you should focus on learning righteousness, and you will be at a disadvantage. Follow your heart, does everything vary from person to person?"

Wang Xiusa smiled and said nothing, he admired Ouyang Che greatly in his heart, this guy is an eloquent talent!Definitely the seed of a diplomat.

Qin Hui sneered and said, "You will force your words. Since you claim to be a disciple of a sage, don't you know that you are not in your position and do not seek to govern? I really don't know how Taixue taught you."

Zhong Lirui rolled his eyes, and argued: "Master Qin is a Jinshi, and he can't ridicule others for not studying. Wang Zhige pointed out in the theory of mind learning that he can discuss his politics when he is not in his position. It is generally recognized by scholars. The master's life Also comment on current affairs, has Master Qin not read it?"

Qin Hui remained silent, he really had no way to refute, don't say directly denying Wang Xiu's academics, you dare to say that scholars can't discuss government affairs, and they can't be sprayed to death!

Fan Zongyin snorted, and said in a deep voice: "Pretty words and unreasonable words, you are full of coquettish people, you are Tai students, don't you even know the court's laws? If you want to write a letter, you can go to Yintai Division, if you want to complain, you can go to Kaifeng Mansion , Why is Fuque in Xuande Gate? Why are tens of thousands of people gathered in Donghua Gate? If you can disperse earlier, I can still intercede for you."

Zhong Lirui sneered and said: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord. Since I have dared to seek righteousness, I don't care about the heads of the people. My lord asks what is the purpose of gathering the crowd? I only use the two ministers for the emperor to expel the barbarians and calm our country."

Wang Xiu looked at Zhong Lirui with admiring eyes, and said indifferently: "It's good to expel the barbarians and calm our country, but you can't act hastily. Look behind you, how many people are the same as you think, in case someone is killed Incitement, do you have the ability to deal with it?"

Zhong Lirui's face changed, and when he met Wang Xiu's deep gaze, he swallowed the words abruptly.
