Chapter 129 Theory of Rebellion
"Mr. Kong doesn't know me. I'm Liu Cheng, a scholar in Chang'an. I'm just an unknown person, but Mr. Kong's name is well-known all over the world, especially Mr. Kong's previous long poem about opposing the reform of the imperial examination. Reading it makes people excited , can be called the first scholar in the world!"

When Kong Yunzhi heard this, he suddenly felt that it was hard to find a confidant. Liu Cheng was also very enthusiastic and insisted on dragging Kong Yunzhi to find a tavern for a drink and a chat.

Kong Yunzhi had nothing to do, so he readily agreed.

The two came to a small hotel and greeted the store owner to serve wine and food. The two chatted very happily.A blush appeared on Kong Yunzhi's face, and he said inarticulately: "The selection of scholars by the imperial court and the imperial examinations have always been important national affairs, and they are related to the fate of the country. How can it be a trifling matter!"

"Mr. Kong's words are very true. I don't know if Mr. Kong has heard that since the new emperor ascended the throne, important officials in the court have resigned and retired one after another. Why? Gai Xindi's virtues are hard to convince the world! Killed Zhao Shengtai, a student of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an City, and at the same time isolated and inspected all the officials of Dali Temple, and in order to seize the Zhao family's property, he also ordered others to set fire to the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and burned Zhao Shengtai's son to death!"

"There is such a thing!" Kong Yunzhi was filled with righteous indignation when he heard the words, and said, "How can such a person be able to sit on a great treasure!"

"Young Master Kong whispered, I heard that the new emperor has many eyes and ears, be careful if someone overhears you, I will arrest you and put you in jail!"

"Hmph, we scholars take the world as our own responsibility. If he dares to do it, he is afraid that others will say no. If a great country is entrusted to such a person, won't it harm the country?"

Hearing this, Liu Cheng clasped his fists and said, "If scholars in the world have the mind of Master Kong, why worry about the world being uncertain!"

"I only hate that I have no strength to restrain a chicken, and my heart is powerless. Alas, I am ashamed of my ancestors!"

Kong Yunzhi said very dejectedly. At this time, Liu Cheng said: "Actually, scholars are the pillars of the world. If anyone is willing to ascend to the top, they will surely follow like a cloud!"

Hearing this, Kong Yunzhi shook his head and said, "I tried it before, but you saw it in the end."

"That's because everyone doesn't know what the new emperor is doing. If these things are known to the world's scholars, then the result will be different!"

Kong Yunzhi heard the words, his mind moved, and he even felt a little bit suddenly realized. At this time, Liu Cheng saw that Kong Yunzhi seemed to be tempted, so he added fuel to the fire and said: "Mr. Kong, as a child of the Kong family, plus these things, It will definitely cause a sensation among scholars, besides, the sage Confucius also said that benevolence is his own responsibility, if this can be done, scholars all over the world will regard Brother Kong as a model!"

Liu Cheng's words firmly grasped Kong Yunzhi's vanity. Kong Yunzhi's eyes lit up, and he stood up suddenly, which made the waiter who served the food tremble.

"Brother Liu, for the sake of the world, how can scholars of my generation sit back and watch the new emperor do this? Wouldn't this ruin our great country? Don't worry, I will go to the examination room for my brother! Tell the officials about this matter, and we will work together Let everyone in the world see what kind of face this new emperor, who is full of benevolence and morality, looks like under the mask!"

"Brother Kong has such a boldness, it really makes us all fall in love. It's just that this matter needs to be discussed in the long run. I'm not good at it, but I have an idea. Why don't you listen to Brother Kong!"

As he said that, Liu Cheng leaned close to Kong Yunzhi's ear and whispered for a long time. After listening, Kong Yunzhi's face showed a kind of hyperactive pink color, whether it was caused by drinking or overexcited...

"absurd!"

Kong Ming was sitting in the hall of the Imperial College at the moment, listening to the reports of his subordinates, he said angrily, "Who the hell is spreading rumors?"

"The Emperor is here!"

Suddenly a voice came from outside the door. Hearing the words, Kong Ming ran out in a panic, ignoring the things on the desk and the officials of the Imperial College who were kneeling below.

"My humble minister, Kong Ming, pay homage to the emperor!"

"Hahaha, my Prime Minister Zhuge, quickly waive the ceremony. Although you are the prime minister of my Tang Dynasty, you are also my master of the Tao. In the future, this great gift will be waived!"

Li Chengdao seems to be in a good mood today, thinking that the exam will be over soon, and after the papers are approved, there will be a lot of talents for his own use. The excited Li Chengdao couldn't help waiting for the news in the palace, so he came to the Imperial College in person, wanting to I want Kong Ming to inquire about the situation of the imperial examination.

"Mr. Kong Ming, tell me quickly, how are the candidates this year, and are there any talents that can be used?"

"Your majesty, this old minister has something to report to the emperor, but...just..."

It was the first time Li Chengdao saw such a hesitant and hesitant Kong Ming, and the excitement in his heart gradually turned into doubt.

Seeing Kong Ming's constant effort, but unable to say anything else, Li Chengdao asked: "What happened, Mr. Kong Ming? Is it because the test scores are generally not good? Is it too difficult for me to set the questions? It doesn't matter, if you don't meet the score line , we can also redraw the admission line according to the average score!"

"Your Majesty, I don't know where to start this matter, so please come with me, Your Majesty!"

Kong Ming looked distressed, and led Li Chengdao into the hall of the Guozijian. Afterwards, Kong Ming retreated from everyone.Seeing that Li Chengdao was doing the work behind the desk, he pointed to a test paper on the desk and said, "Your Majesty, this is the last exam today, an article written by a late candidate, please read this, Your Majesty!
Hearing this, Li Chengdao picked up the test paper on the table and read it carefully.

Kong Ming was on the side. He had read this test paper many times, and it could be said that he had memorized it fluently. At this moment, Kong Ming was most concerned about Li Chengdao's attitude after reading it.

However, to Kong Ming's surprise, Li Chengdao did not overreact after reading it. Instead, he couldn't help laughing, looked at Kong Ming and asked, "Sir, who wrote this article?"

Kong Ming has been watching the expression on Li Chengdao's face from behind, and seeing that he has no other angry expressions at this moment, he replied: "Your Majesty, this examination paper was made by a candidate from Shandong. It is said that his family is Kong Ming. A relative of the sage, his surname is Kong and his name is Yunzhi!"

Li Chengdao nodded when he heard the words, and said: Although this article does not match the facts, the writing is sophisticated and the rhetoric is gorgeous. Just looking at the writing skills, it is also a talent! "

Kong Ming was taken aback when he heard the words, and said: "Your Majesty, the problem lies in this article. He did well in the exam this afternoon, but suddenly this Kong Yunzhi came. Suddenly, a person who claimed to be Guozijian Jijiu came to check, and when he saw Kong Yunzhi, he said that this person is the descendant of Yan Shenggong, although he was late, he should be allowed to take the exam!"

"That's it, that Kong Yunzhi entered the examination room. That Kong Yunzhi did have some skills. Although he was late, he wrote a thousand words in a short time. It stands to reason that he only needs to wait for the examination to end and the examiner to collect the papers. But the examination time Before he arrived, this guy suddenly got up and yelled in the examination room, today... the theory of rebellion is hard for me to say!"
