Great Wei scholar

All kinds of lively voices sounded, and the visitors were either literati, or important officials of Nanyu Mansion, and many people sent by other mansions to congratulate, not much difference.

At this time, in the main pavilion.

Xu Qingxiao made a sound.

"Master Wan."

When he opened his mouth, he attracted a lot of attention for a while.

"What's the matter?"

Hearing Xu Qingxiao's call, Wan Anguo looked away.

"A few days ago, some unpleasant things happened, and there were too many misunderstandings."

"The students know that the laws of the Wei Dynasty are like a mountain, but the law does not punish the public. The students hope that Master Wan can show mercy outside the law."

"If this is the case, the students must keep it in mind. As for the injured students, all the medical expenses will be borne by the students. If compensation is required, as long as it is not excessive, the students will compensate each one, and even apologize one by one."

Xu Qingxiao spoke.

It was just these words that silenced many people.

In the main pavilion, Mu Nanping put down the wine glass silently, frowning slightly. He didn't expect Xu Qingxiao to really dare to plead for mercy like this.

Several masters also fell silent, and even some masters sighed in a low voice, feeling that Xu Qingxiao was being reckless.

Some guests were also silent, looking towards the main pavilion.

Everyone knows what happened in Nanyu Mansion recently.

Some people can see through, some people can't.

But no matter what, everyone is very curious about how Xu Qingxiao will choose.

After all, no matter what factors are behind this, if Xu Qingxiao pleads for those military officials, it is to offend scholars.

So they are curious.

Now, during the banquet in the building, Xu Qingxiao spoke directly, which was unexpected by many people.

The banquet was a little quiet.

Li Guangxin was also a little silent, but he didn't say much. Since Xu Qingxiao had spoken, he had nothing to say. He just hoped that Xu Qingxiao would not be too radical.

Wan Anguo's expression changed slightly, and he put down the wine he was holding.

With a calm expression, he looked at Xu Qingxiao and said.

"The law is like a mountain. Although the law does not punish the public, it is unheard of for a warrior to beat a scholar. The impact is not a trivial matter."

"Xu Qingxiao, the old man knows that these people are complaining about you. If you feel sorry, the old man can understand."

"But the law is the law, and the holy will is the holy will. You would rather offend the old man than intercede for them. This kind of benevolence, the old man admires, and I believe they will forgive you after they know it."

"This matter, let's stop here."

What Wan Anguo said made sense.

He didn't intentionally make things difficult for Xu Qingxiao, but instead found an excuse for Xu Qingxiao. After all, in his eyes, the reason why Xu Qingxiao begged for mercy was because he felt bad.

This matter had nothing to do with him, it was someone who made an arbitrarily assertive claim to stand up for Xu Qingxiao.

So Xu Qingxiao felt sorry.

If you don't intercede, I'm afraid that everyone in the world will laugh at Xu Qingxiao's inhumanity and injustice.

Now that Xu Qingxiao asked for mercy, he politely refused, and at the same time praised Xu Qingxiao for his benevolence.

It will not only make Xu Qingxiao feel better, but also not make the matter more intense.

After all, it was Wan Anguo who valued Xu Qingxiao. Unlike the students of Tianming Academy, he naturally valued talented people. He could understand what Xu Qingxiao did, so he was not angry, but he would not reconcile the matter.

Because it involves the law, it involves the divine will.

Having said that, it can be regarded as the best of benevolence.

Indeed, as soon as these words were said, Mu Nanping immediately opened his mouth.

"Yeah, Brother Xu, this matter is rare and extremely complicated. You feel sorry for it. I also understand that you can be kind enough to speak up for them. In this way, I will find some ways to let people take care of them. Don't worry about it too much." suffer."

Mu Nanping opened his mouth to smooth things over. As the son of the county king, it is not difficult for him to arrange for someone to take care of him.

He could see through the situation, and he didn't want Xu Qingxiao to continue to be fierce, and he would retreat if he had to.

It is the kingly way to be wise and protect one's life.

But as soon as these words were said, a cold voice resounded, and the banquet hall fell silent instantly.

"Take care of one or two?"

"The son is really a great power."

"Distributed for thousands of miles and punished as hard labor, it is in itself to make them suffer and burden, to make them have a long memory, and to make the people of the world fear the law."

"The word care, isn't it that the law is regarded as a joke, and the holy will is regarded as a blank sheet?"

It was Yan Lei's voice.

He was calm, with a hint of coldness.

The entire hall instantly cooled down, and everyone fell silent.

The Great Confucian's voice is like thunder, even if the voice is small, it can reach everyone's ears.

Everyone didn't dare to speak, and they didn't dare to take a breath. The scene was very embarrassing for a while, and only the students of Tianming Academy were in an extremely happy mood at this moment.

"This……"

"I hope Yan Ru calms down, it was my son who made a slip of the tongue just now."

Mu Nanping was a little embarrassed, he stood up bravely, and bowed to Yan Ru.

He wanted to smooth things over too much, but he never expected to be caught by Yan Ru. After this reprimand, it would be embarrassing at best for ordinary people.

But for Mu Nanping, it was not a trivial matter.

If Yan Lei gets angry and sues the court for a crime of abusing private power, he will feel better.

Mu Nanping felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't expect Yan Lei to be so unkind, what he just said can be understood as polite words.

But Yan Lei took it seriously, and he could only apologize honestly.

"A slip of the tongue?"

"You are the son of Yongping, and every word you say represents the king of Yongping, the court, and the imperial power."

"This matter will be reported to the court by the old man, how should your father deal with it."

However, in the face of the prince's weakness, Yan Lei was still unreasonable, and Mu Nanping's face became ugly with one sentence.

I wanted to say something, but finally fell silent.

Mu Nanning on the side frowned a little, but although she was messing around on weekdays and had a great Confucian in charge, she still didn't dare to make a mistake, but she was very upset.

But the person who was most upset was Xu Qingxiao.

Wan Anguo's words were rather tactful, with some discouraging intentions.

As for Yan Lei's utterance, he could clearly see that it was a warning to himself.

Mu Nanping was just being polite.

In the end, he was caught and reprimanded by Yan Lei. As the son of Yongping, Mu Nanping's words to smooth things over like this are not humane.

It's nothing more than talking to yourself and telling yourself.

This matter cannot be reconciled, nor will it be reconciled.

But Xu Qingxiao took a deep breath.

Continue to speak.

"People are not sages and sages can do nothing. This matter is still a misunderstanding."

"While the law is like a mountain, and the holy will is like the sky, there are times when grace is granted outside the law, and there are times when clouds and mist are cleared away."

"Master Wan, the students are willing to write a self-examination stamp and post it in Tianming Academy."

"I would also like to go to Tianming Academy in person and make a pilgrimage to the Academy to express my apology."

"I just ask my master to be merciful and turn the big thing into a small one."

Xu Qingxiao spoke again, his attitude had been decided.

boom!

There was a sound of slapping the table, but it was not from Wan Anguo.

It was from Yan Lei, a great Confucian.

"presumptuous."

"Law can be merciful, how to govern the country."

"The holy will is like the sky, how can you slander it."

"Xu Qingxiao, the old man knows that this matter has nothing to do with you. You pleaded just now. Master Wan made you feel at ease and fulfilled your benevolence and righteousness, but you kept pushing forward again and again."

"You are benevolent and righteous for yourself, but you don't care about the benevolence and righteousness of others. You are in vain as a scholar."

"Furthermore, there is no time for law to be merciful."

"Holy shall not be insulted."

"I think you are the first in the test, and you have brought a peerless article to Dawei. I forgive you for your presumptuousness."

"But if you dare to continue to speak and plead for the thugs, the old man will never let you go."

Yan Lei's voice sounded with anger, but it was not that kind of roar, but a kind of coldness.

This statement is a complete statement.

Also tell Xu Qingxiao thoroughly, don't beg for mercy, otherwise you will be unlucky.

At this moment, Li Guangxin spoke immediately.

"The Lou Banquet has begun, don't delay Huang Daoji's time, everyone calm down, and get together, it's really rare."

Li Guangxin opened his mouth with a look.

Immediately, the music began, and graceful women walked into the banquet, the sound of bells and drums, and the sound of bamboo silk lingered around the beam.

The atmosphere became lively in an instant, but it seemed a bit far-fetched. Everyone was inexplicably nervous, afraid that things would continue to be stiff.

On the main pavilion.

Mu Nanping moved closer to Xu Qingxiao, he pulled Xu Qingxiao's clothes, but he didn't dare to speak any more, for fear that Yan Lei would continue to make trouble for him.

But the meaning is obvious, he is also discouraging Xu Qingxiao, stop arguing.

On the main pavilion.

Standing in the seat, Xu Qingxiao glanced at everyone. The students of Tianming Academy were all smiling. Li Xin, Wang Ru, and Chen Xinghe all showed signs of worry, especially Chen Xinghe, who frowned and kept shaking his head, telling himself not to Moreover.

Master Wan looked calm and toasted Yan Lei with a wine glass.

Everyone is trying to get things over with.

At this moment, Xu Qingxiao was silent.

He sat down and said nothing more.

During the banquet, many people heaved a sigh of relief.

If it continues like this, I'm afraid that the banquet in the building will not be able to be held.

Seeing this scene, Li Guangxin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally Xu Qingxiao retreated despite the difficulty.

This is a good thing, he knows Xu Qingxiao's intentions, and he also knows Xu Qingxiao's benevolence and righteousness, but sometimes he can't be too strong, and it is a good thing to retreat in spite of difficulties.

"Today's banquet in Nanyu Mansion, everyone, drink to your heart's content and celebrate the new building."

Li Guangxin laughed loudly, hoping that the atmosphere would be more active.

Indeed, as Xu Qingxiao sat down, everyone's hearts fell, and laughter rang out from each other for a while, and they began to communicate, and there was no lack of various words of congratulations.
