Great Wei scholar

Chapter 78: Intense conflicts, government suppression, Confucian attitude, Xu Qingxiao saves people

That night.

Outside the gate of a house on North Street.

There were bursts of voices, full of anger.

"Master, I was wronged. I was beaten up by Xu Qingxiao for no reason. This is a great shame."

"That's right, this Xu Qingxiao doesn't dare to make trouble for me on the face, but plays dirty tricks behind his back. He is simply not a son of man."

"Fortunately, he still wrote a peerless article. I think this person is narrow-minded."

"Master, if the lord hadn't brought the troops here, I'm afraid I would have been beaten to death. If this has not been written and reported, there is no guarantee that Xu Qingxiao will not be bolder next time."

In the courtyard, the cries of the scholars resounded, some were angrily complaining about their injustice, and some were crying with gauze wrapped around their heads.

This group of Tianming Academy students would never have imagined that one day they would be beaten.

And so cruel.

But the most angry thing is not being beaten, but losing face.

Who are they?

Is a scholar.

The proud son of heaven will attract countless envious looks when walking on the road. It is only when they criticize others, but such a thing has never happened.

Especially the Great Wei Dynasty respected scholars.

If you have meritorious service, you will not be punished.

But the beating he suffered today was worse than the punishment.

"enough!"

The noisy sounds rose and fell, and Wan Anguo's voice sounded, calming the scene for an instant.

He looked at everyone, but he didn't show anger, but said extremely calmly.

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Xu Qingxiao's Confucianism has advanced to the eighth grade. Obviously, he is not such a person with a wicked mind. Moreover, he has no grievances or enmities with Tianming Academy. Even if there is an enmity, it is impossible to instruct officials to be violent against scholars."

"Because of jealousy and hatred, you put these right and wrong on Xu Qingxiao, why are you a gentleman?"

Wan Anguo said so and reprimanded everyone.

His heart is brighter than a mirror, how could he not know what these literati are thinking, he just wants to take advantage of this opportunity to let himself sue, it doesn't matter if it doesn't affect Xu Qingxiao's first place in the test.

As long as it can splash dirty water, it is a good thing for them.

After all, Xu Qingxiao is too good, she overwhelms all the students of Tianming Academy, and she becomes jealous.

But he won't do this, this is not the way of a gentleman.

Moreover, he also did not believe that Xu Qingxiao was this kind of person. A Confucian scholar who could write peerless essays was still a conceptual essay, and it was absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing.

"Master, but no matter what, it is a fact that I was beaten for no reason, even if I take a step back, it was not Xu Qingxiao's instigation."

"But it's also related to Xu Qingxiao."

Someone was unconvinced and couldn't help muttering.

Indeed, they couldn't be sure whether Xu Qingxiao ordered it or not, but it's always a fact that they were beaten, right?

"okay."

"Your Majesty has already discussed this matter with the old man. The laws of the Great Wei cannot be provoked."

"How to deal with it, I will deal with it, and I will give you justice."

On this point, Wan Anguo favored his students, after all, his students were indeed beaten.

And one more thing.

The Great Wei respected Confucianism, and scholars had a very high status. It was a felony for an official to beat a scholar. If it was light, it would be sentenced to ten years in prison, and if it was serious, it would be exiled for thousands of miles.

Wan Anguo believes that this matter has nothing to do with Xu Qingxiao.

It was precisely because of his belief that he was even more angry.

If there was really Xu Qingxiao's shadow behind this, he wouldn't be so angry. After all, he resorted to this method, which shows that Xu Qingxiao doesn't have much future.

But there is no shadow of Xu Qingxiao, so this is a violation of the law of the Great Wei.

To put it mildly, it does not respect the law.

When it gets bigger, it doesn't respect saints.

People are divided into three, six, and nine grades. For literati, everything is inferior, but reading is high.

This is also the meaning of Zhu Sheng, and the meaning of every scholar.

It is a felony, a heinous felony, for a mere official to send a martial artist, regardless of etiquette, to injure a scholar.

Therefore, Wan Anguo will definitely handle this matter strictly, and will not tolerate any favors.

After all, this is challenging the meaning of the saint and insulting the scholars.

It is precisely because of this that he will be angry.

However, at this moment, a voice sounded.

"Master, Xu Qingxiao, Li Xin, please see me outside."

With the sound of the sound, the courtyard fell silent for an instant.

"Xu Qingxiao is here?"

"Why is he here? Is it to see me waiting for a joke?"

"Shouldn't you intercede for those people? Master, if Xu Qingxiao came to intercede, you must not agree, I will not accept it!"

"Okay, just say a few words and let the master decide."

They discussed in low voices, and a few people wrapped in gauze opened their mouths, still angry.

"Ask him why he visited?"

Wan Anguo was a little curious and asked him to ask why Xu Qingxiao was here.

Is it an apology, or is it an intercession?

If you express your apology, it's okay, it's okay to meet each other.

But if you're pleading for someone else, then don't talk about it.

Even Xu Qingxiao would not talk about it.

At that moment, the informant left.

After a while, he came back quickly.

"Master, Xu Qingxiao said that he came to express his apology, and at the same time wanted to come forward to resolve the matter, saying that he was willing to negotiate peacefully."

The other party opened his mouth and told Xu Qingxiao's purpose.

"He really has a face?"

"Come forward to resolve it? How much face does Xu Qingxiao have?"

"If it is said that he met us before Xu Qingxiao, I would give him some face, but he didn't even see me. Now that something happened, he came to reconcile again. It's really a joke."

"I do not reconcile."

"I don't reconcile either."

Everyone has the same idea and will never reconcile. They were originally angry with Xu Qingxiao.

The Tianming Academy organized a group to meet Xu Qingxiao, but they waited for four or five days, but they didn't see Xu Qingxiao. It was fine if they were laughed at, but now they were beaten, new and old grudges counted, Xu Qingxiao came to reconcile ?

They themselves lacked a reason to trouble Xu Qingxiao.

Now that the reason has come, it is naturally impossible to stop there.

If they don't suppress Xu Qingxiao's spirit, they are really not convinced.

"quiet."

Wan Anguo spoke again, calming down the scene.

He knew that his students had personal enmity, and it was wrong to stand on a gentleman's point of view. If there hadn't been this incident, he would have reprimanded his students.

But this kind of thing happened, not only as their old dean, but also as a sixth-rank Confucian.

In terms of love, he would naturally not be on Xu Qingxiao's side.

Yu Li, insulting scholars is tantamount to disrespecting saints, so it is even more impossible for him to help Xu Qingxiao.

Therefore, Wan Anguo spoke up.

"Let him go back and tell him that this matter has nothing to do with him."

"Don't get involved."

Wan Anguo opened his mouth and said so.

"Yes, Master."

The latter left immediately.

After another moment, the informant came back again.

"Master, Xu Qingxiao said that he wanted to meet you, so I apologize in person."

He said so, conveying Xu Qingxiao's meaning.

"Say I'm asleep."

Wan Anguo shook his head, the more relentless Xu Qingxiao was, the more he understood that Xu Qingxiao wanted to intercede for those people.

After a while, the voice of communication sounded again.

"Master, he said he would wait until tomorrow."

Wan Anguo was a little surprised by this answer.

Everyone didn't know what to say.

Wan Anguo pondered, and continued after a while.

"Tell him that this matter is not as simple as hurting others, but that scholars are being humiliated. Don't get involved, or it will affect his career."

He was determined.

But this sentence is also a reminder.

It is taboo for a martial artist to beat a scholar.

The Great Wei Dynasty only respected Confucianism, and if they had fame, they would not be punished. This is the status of a scholar.

In the end, he was quickly arrested by a group of officials, and ordinary people beat him up. Is this okay?

Indeed, to put it mildly, this kind of thing might really be a misunderstanding, just apologize, pay some money, and say something nice, and that's fine.

But if it goes too far, it is insulting scholars and disrespecting saints.

For the literati in the world, it is a heinous crime.

How dare you hit me today.

Do you dare to kill me tomorrow?

Misunderstanding is not a reason.

Xu Qingxiao is now famous all over the world, especially when the imperial edict was announced, and it was known that Xu Qingxiao had written a conceptual article.

Someone else might be able to intercede.

But Xu Qingxiao can't intercede, if he intercedes, it will cause a lot of trouble.

Xu Qingxiao may not be able to see through this point, but he can.

So he dissuaded Xu Qingxiao from joining in, it was for Xu Qingxiao's good.

"Yes."
