I'm really not the carpenter emperor

As soon as this remark came out, there was an instant silence in the field.

A Confucian scholar then retorted: "Li Xin, do you know who is opposite?"

"Exactly! Even your students are aware of their mistakes, how did you become a lecturer of the Imperial College, don't you have no sense of etiquette?"

"Li Xin, let's go, don't embarrass yourself in front of the majestic Confucian mansion!"

Li Xin squinted his eyes, ignored these small characters, just stared at Li Jing, one of the three great sages in Guanzhong, and asked with a smile:

"Mr. Erqu just said it, but is it true?"

The smile on Li Jing's face gradually disappeared, looking at Li Xin who seemed calm, he sneered and said:

"Since you, a junior of the younger generation, insist on making a fool of yourself in public, then this old man has no choice but to let you know what it means to be someone beyond others, and there is a sky beyond the sky."

Looking at the scene where the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger, in the private room on the second floor of a two-story restaurant not far away, a young man in yellow said lightly:

"Who is this person?"

An old man in gray beside him bowed and said, "It's Li Xin, lecturer of the Imperial College."

The young man in yellow sneered, and said: "It seems that the Kong family has encountered a tough guy this time. Such a talent should not just be a lecturer in the Imperial College, you go and find out."

"As ordered."

Chapter 797 Is this Daxian?

A few days ago, Zhu Youxiao had arranged matters in the palace, and suddenly he became interested in private visits in micro-services. Now that he is going to run the Confucius family, Qufu naturally wants to come in person.

This time Zhu Youxiao didn't bring Wang Chaofu with him, so the gray-clothed old man beside him was naturally Wei Zhongxian, the current Dongchangchanggong.

It may be that Zhu Youxiao kept a close eye on him, and Old Wei was also sensible. So far, he has not passed on the name of nine thousand years old like the later generations.

If the current Wei Zhongxian heard someone yelling these words, he would have to let that person's blood splash on the spot and ask himself to be guilty, so that he could feel a little relieved.

Wei Zhongxian's brain is like a library. There are officials, scholars, businessmen and military generals in the world today, as long as Zhu Youxiao speaks respectfully, there is nothing he doesn't know.

Even Wang Chaofu came close to this ability.

This is also the reason why Zhu Youxiao brought Wei Zhongxian with him when he came out this time. Although Wang Chaofu was considerate, he was only there to give orders, and could only be used to beat him.

As for Wei Zhongxian, he can be entrusted with important tasks and play a role at critical times.

Although he is still on guard against him in his heart, but with Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youxiao is unspeakably at ease in his heart, so he likes to take him with him wherever he goes.

Seeing Wei Zhongxian take the small book from Fanzi and hand it to him, Zhu Youxiao flipped through a few pages, and he fully understood who the person downstairs was.

This Li Xin has a more famous name in later generations - Li Yan.

In history, the biggest contributors to helping Li Zicheng enter the capital in the 17th year of Chongzhen were not Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, let alone Liu Zongmin, but Li Yan.

This Li Yan, single-handedly created the "Chuang Wang" character design for Li Zicheng, and made the slogan "Welcome the Chuang King, don't pay the food", which has been passed down to the world.

Because of this, Li Zicheng, who was beaten by Sun Chuanting to Shangluo Mountain with only thirteen riders left, was able to grow rapidly once he came out of the mountain, and there was an endless stream of refugees.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing.

Unexpectedly, Dashun, the civil and military officials who founded the country later, have all become his loyal subordinates now.

Li Zicheng and Li Guo served as soldiers on the Nine Sides, and they had already fought many bloody battles for themselves. Now even Li Yan, Dashun's chief military adviser, was fighting against the Confucian government because of his own imperial decree.

Looking at the smiling Emperor Tianqi, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but laugh. In his opinion, no matter what the emperor is laughing at, it is always a good thing.

It seems that a private visit in a micro-service is indeed appropriate, staying away from the deep palace compound can also make the emperor smile often and live a long life, so that he and the Wei family can have a long-term status.

Zhu Youxiao stopped smiling, threw the notebook back to Wei Zhongxian, and looked downstairs again, where there was already a lot of noise.

Obviously, the debate between Li Xin and Li Jing is about to begin.

The Confucian scholars were dumbfounded by what they heard, and they never expected that someone would actually challenge Li Jing, a great sage in the Guan, in front of the Confucian Mansion.

For them, the latter is a more respectable person than today's Emperor Qi.

Kong Yinzhi yelled back, and they moved away one after another, took two pairs of the Four Treasures of the Study and waited on them, and then gathered around and competed to watch.

"A tree is beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy it. Young man, don't be so ostentatious. You must know that your life is still very long, and the road ahead may not be easy."

Li Xin licked his hands and ink, held the pen in his hand, his eyes were as pale as an old well in a deserted village, and said: "I also ask Mr. Erqu to enlighten me, the students would like to see a thing or two."

"Since that's the case, why not take this picture of Suzhou landscape as the title?" Li Jing looked helpless, took the pen and ink, and was about to start, but he heard Li Dao:

"slow!"

"What, are you scared? It's not too late to repent now, to mend the situation!" Li Jing said with a smile, and gradually put down the pen that was in the air.

But Li Xin said: "Mr. Chang Ting's second cursive script is well-known at the time. If you want to fight poetry, why not teach them together to make a good thing happen?"

Li Jing smiled, and ordered his disciples to take out another piece of rice paper and Jilanghao brush, and chanted loudly: "This landscape painting is not made by famous masters, but it has the scenery of six likenesses."

Then, write on the rice paper:

"One is like a deep-water tiger, two is like a sea dragon, three is like a tall green willow, four is like a deep valley, five is like a crane in Huating, and six is ​​like a geese in Xiaoxiang."

Li Xin looked at the rice paper, and his eyes really brightened.

Confucian scholars gathered around, and a great sage smiled and said, "Ying Lian and his wife have no faith, and Fanshan's paintings are sent from afar. Mr. Erqu's six likenesses are really vivid!"

Li Jing waved his hands, but became humble, cupped his hands and said: "I laugh at you, you can't do it without a teacher, just write casually."

The great virtuous also laughed, and said to Li Dao: "What, the Guozijian Xiaosheng, do you want to compare? I think it's better to go back and study for another two years!"

"Don't say that Mr. Erqu's poems and Fu Liulike are even cursive Ershu, and they are far from the same level as you. You should leave quickly and be famous!"

Indeed, Li Jing's calligraphy was famous for a while because of his real skills.

Not to mention the poems and prose, there are not many people in the world who can write the style of Wei stele that is both firm and soft, simple and generous on the rice paper.

He said with a smile: "Mr.'s Wei stele style is indeed quite imposing. Students' calligraphy is not as good as Mr.'s. However, although the poems and prose have the style of a gentleman, they are like the Qinhuai opera house, full of powder."

These words, raised and lowered, can be regarded as saving face for this great sage.

Li Jing was not in a hurry, just said "Oh?", stretched out his hand and said, "Then why don't you have a pair of non-fat and powdery ones with hero bones?"

"I don't ask you to write calligraphy anymore, lest the world say that I rely on the old and bully the young."

Li Xin didn't answer, just picked up his pen and wrote. The remaining Confucian students and a group of people who couldn't understand at all surrounded him one after another, but most of them had disdain on their faces.

How can this penniless lecturer of the Imperial College be better than Guan Zhong Daxian?Most people are just purely curious.

"It has the meaning of iron stone plum blossom, and it is beautiful and vanilla." Li Xin chanted while writing, and then calmly sang another song:

"Look at this picture, the mountains and rivers are clear and flowing, the midnight song is clear, Bao'er is innocent, there are Mingguan willows, autumn water and lotus, how lovely."

After that, I started writing again.

After writing, everyone gasped.

Perhaps it has a provocative meaning, Li Xin's is also Li Jing's famous Wei stele style at that time, its characters are vigorous and powerful, like cast iron, and accompanied by poems, it is quite heroic.

Such a comparison, even ordinary people with no literary literacy can see that it is actually one of the so-called three great sages in Guanzhong who has fallen behind.

The supervisors clapped the case and applauded, and the common people also praised it loudly.

The Confucian scholars looked at each other in blank dismay. The faces of many great sages in the Confucian Mansion were as pale as a pig's liver, especially Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yinzhi, who was at a loss for what to do with his hands.

For a great sage of the Confucian family to be compared to others at his own doorstep, this is nothing but a great shame for the Confucian family!

Li Jing stood on the stage like a clown on a stage.

His face was blue and red, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "Young people are awesome, I was careless just now. If you and I compete again, this time we will fight Tang poetry, how about it?"

Li Xin, on the other hand, said Shi Shiran: "No need, the letter came here today not to make a name for it, but to seek an explanation for the imperial examination case."

Hearing this, Li Jing had no choice but to smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

Now he is in a passive position, eager to compare again, he may be too anxious to be ashamed, but forget it like this, he feels very angry and embarrassed.

Li Xin turned to Kong Yinzhi, Yan Shenggong, and said:

"The Confucian Mansion is a place of sacred learning that students all over the world flock to. It's nothing more than Mr. Erqu, a famous and talented Guanzhong Gaoxian, who is also involved in the imperial examination case. If you don't give an explanation, how can you convince people? "

Chapter 798 Someone Needs to Rule the Confucian Family

"This……"

Li Jing, known as one of the three sages in Guanzhong, was speechless after being refuted, and retreated in desperation, and Kong Yinzhi was even more speechless.

However, what happened next gave him relief once again.

With a sound of "Peng", the stone statue in front of the Confucian Mansion suddenly exploded, and countless gravels flew out of the gunpowder smoke.

Two inmates were hit in the head and passed out on the spot. Their lives and deaths were unknown. Fortunately, Li Xin had some skills and escaped quickly, so he was saved from this disaster.

But in this way, the crowd exploded in an instant!

"Why did the stone statue in front of the Confucian Mansion explode suddenly?"

"In my opinion, it was the heaven who gave the warning. Could it be that the rumors are true, and the Confucian government is really involved in the imperial examination case?"

Some Confucian scholars immediately retorted: "Nonsense, the Confucian family is the heir of a sage, and it has been passed down for thousands of years. How can they do such an act without a king or a man?"

"Hmph, I don't think so!" Some people were not to be outdone.

There was a commotion at the scene, and Zhu Youxiao, who was in the private room on the second floor not far away, saw all this clearly, but he didn't say much.

Wei Zhongxian, on the other hand, had a sinister countenance, and when he saw this, there was another arc.

About half an hour later, the officials from the Qufu County Government came late, and all the officials rushed to maintain the order around the Confucian mansion, and at the same time said to Kong Yinzhi from the messenger:

"I've seen Shenggong, who dares to make trouble in the Confucian mansion?"

Li Xin said from the side: "It's not a disturbance, but the century-old stone lion in front of the Confucian mansion suddenly exploded, hurting the students of the Imperial College."

Hearing this, the leader of the leadership quickly turned to look, and found that there were indeed two supervisors from the Nanjing Imperial College lying on the ground, so he winked.

An officer stepped forward and squatted down, testing his breath, his complexion became ugly:

"died."

"They're all dead?" Badou's face changed slightly, and his mind started spinning.

Superintendent students are no longer popular among scholars, and they are also students of the highest university in the world, Guozijian, and their status is far from comparable to that of servants.

Because of this, this matter is probably beyond the jurisdiction of the Qufu County Government.

He thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "This matter has exceeded the power and responsibility of the county government. Send people to the street to inspect the department's office and let them handle the matter."

"Da Ming Hui Dian": "Wherever the world is going to rush, set up an inspection department to interrogate spies, smuggling of smuggled salt, prisoners, escaped soldiers, and escaped prisoners. If there is no suspicious person, you must always add an admiral or report to the department. report."

Qufu is where the Confucian Mansion is located. There is an inspection department in the streets, and its powers are similar to the police stations that specialize in patrolling and investigating cases in later generations.

Although the level of the Inspection Department is lower than that of the Qufu County Government, they have their own functions and powers.

This kind of matter involved the grievances between the Nanjing Guozijian and the Kong family, and the people of Qufu county were very light-hearted, even if the county magistrate himself came, he was unwilling to intervene.

He almost knew this truth well, and it seemed that he was going to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

Soon, a county government official ran to the inspection department of the street, and after a while, a man with a rough face led the team.

He glanced at the shattered stone lion, and also squatted down to touch the body of the dead prison student. When he found that his body was slightly cold, he got up and said with a smile:

"This is something that your county government should take care of. What do you want me to do?"

He almost cupped his fists and said with a smile: "I'm relieved when Mr. Ma comes. The one who died was a student of Jinling Guozijian. It's inconvenient for our county government to intervene in this matter. It's better for your inspection department to investigate and arrest."

The inspection department inspected that Ma Qing was an out-and-out warrior, and he knew in his heart that the county government didn't want to take care of it, so he threw it to the inspection department.

This kind of thing has happened quite often in these years. After all, the inspection department's status is not as good as that of the county government, so it can only follow suit, and it can't be provoked!

He sneered and hummed:

"This happened in front of Confucius' house. The stone lion has been squatting here for 1000 years, if not for 200 years. How could it blow up today?"

Hearing this, all the great sages of the Confucius family spoke out and reprimanded him one after another.

"Ma Qing, are you saying this is our Kong family's fault?"

"It's so shameless. These supervisors came to the Confucian mansion to fight poems and ask crimes. If we want to investigate, we should investigate them. How could we be investigated?"

After all, Kong Yinzhi was the Duke Yansheng of the current dynasty, heir of a saint, and his mind was fairly stable.

"You are an inspector, you have the final say on how to investigate, but if it is not our Kong family's business at the end of the investigation, then... it will be difficult."

Zhu Youxiao, who was in the private room on the second floor, heard these words from Fanzi who was hiding in the crowd, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't turn his head back:
