"I am no longer a scholar of politics." Xiao Chen said with a smile, "The emperor just dismissed me from my post today."
ah? How could this happen... The three of them were all surprised when they heard this, with disappointment on their faces.
It was only in the afternoon that they learned about Duan Fengnian's brazen rebellion in Langya County, and they were all astonished as if they were struck by a bolt from the blue. It was really a good time to sit at home, and disaster came from the sky!
Langya County rebels, then their father has only two choices, either join the rebellion or die! No matter what the dads choose, they are definitely dead...
There is basically no doubt about this.
The reason why no Jin Yiwei has come to pick them up yet is probably because everyone in the imperial court is busy right now and they haven't thought of them yet, but they will eventually.
Some suggested running away, some suggested hiding, and some even suggested committing suicide! It’s a death anyway, so it’s better to die a more heroic death. A scholar can be killed but not humiliated...
If you are caught and imprisoned, not only will you die, but you will also suffer humiliation and torture. That would be worse than death!
But Jiang Chenghe and the others think this is all a bad idea. We are the emperor of Zhou Dynasty, we are not rebels, and we have not participated in the rebellion...
If we participate, can we still go to Beijing to take the exam?
Even our father will not participate in the rebellion, otherwise would they allow us to kill him?
We are all biological sons! So it would be unreasonable to capture and kill us...
In fact, it still makes sense, because they are indeed not clear now. They can't be cleansed by jumping into the Yellow River, so there is no way to explain them.
Or Jiang Chenghe suddenly thought of Master Xiao Chen, an academician, and felt that among the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only this Master Xiao had courage!
And since he is a scholar, we are all his disciples, and there should be a little bit of a teacher-student relationship.
It's better to go talk to him. There is still a little room for maneuver in the matter, and the relationship between Jiang Chenghe and Lin Qi is also good. If you ask Lin Qi for help, you may be able to meet Mr. Xiao...
Anyway, I'm going all out and treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor!
So the big guys immediately recommended the three of them as representatives and went straight to Xiao Chen's house to talk to Lin Qi. Lin Qi agreed generously...
Of course, he only agreed to help them meet Xiao Chen. He wanted to agree to other things, but he couldn't.
"Although I am no longer studying politics, I still have to take care of your affairs!" Xiao Chen changed the topic again, "You guys are all students, and you are not rebels, how can you be confused with the same thing? You can rest assured and be good Everyone should study in their respective residences and don’t come out and run around. I can responsibly tell you that next spring, you will all participate as usual!"
When the three of them heard this, they were surprised and happy. At the same time, they were all unexpected. All we thought about now was to save our lives. As long as we could save our lives, we would be thankful to God. With the blessing of our ancestors, we still had the opportunity to participate in the examination...
Mr. Xiao Chen, are you drunk too much?
As soon as you came in, we smelled of alcohol on your body.
"Brother Xiao always sticks to his word when he speaks." Lin Qi said on the side, "If he says he can keep you safe, then it will be fine. If anything happens to you, he will take you all down and send you to the official now."
"Of course, this matter is also important. I can't make a decision on my own. I will report to the Emperor tomorrow, and the Emperor will issue a decree soon." Xiao Chen said that he couldn't make a decision on his own. In fact, he had already made a decision, but the topic changed. , "It's just that if your fathers participate in Duan Fengnian's rebellion, I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience in the future."
"Master Xiao, let's compile a letter and send it home now to persuade my father to live up to the emperor's favor and abandon the dark side and turn to the light!" Jiang Chenghe said hurriedly, "It's just that the war is raging and communication is cut off. I'm afraid this letter won't come back for a while. "
"Master Xiao, I'm just telling you this." Tie Moller said loudly, "I guess my father must have been involved. He is the general leading the troops. If he doesn't participate, he is still involved. Even if it is a plan for interests, You have to follow Duan Fengnian, otherwise you will definitely die! In addition, my father will probably think that we are all in danger, so..."
"But please let Mr. Xiao know the truth!" Murong Lin said, "Although my father is an official in Langya, he is an official of Dazhou, not Duan Fengnian. If I dare to risk my life, my father is absolutely unwilling to follow Duan Fengnian in rebellion! It's just that I dare to risk my life." Perhaps when things are urgent, follow authority and be wise and wise to protect yourself..."
What these people said was all the truth, because Lin Qi had repeatedly told them to speak out when they saw Xiao Chen, and don't beat around the bush, play tricks, or talk nonsense!
"Well, what you guys said is human nature." Xiao Chen nodded, "There are many ways to be loyal to the emperor. Dying is the worst policy, but bearing the humiliation is the best policy. I can trust you too. If so, I believe that your father-in-law was coerced, but there is no basis for such a thing..."
"Master Xiao, if you really trust me, let me go back. I will definitely find my father and persuade him to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side!" Tie Molle said loudly.
"We are all willing to go back." Jiang Chenghe said and suddenly gave a wry smile, "It's just that there is no basis for what we say. Why should Master Xiao believe us? I myself feel as if I want to run away..."
"If I let you go, do you dare to go?" Xiao Chen suddenly asked.
"Not only do I dare to go, I can also go!" Tie Molele said, "To be honest, Mr. Xiao, the student has been learning martial arts since he was a child. Although he is not very capable, he can still sneak back without being noticed. , As long as you believe in me, I can set off to go back immediately. No matter how much I can convince my father, I will definitely come back, and I will never let Master Xiao down!"
"Master Xiao, the student is not as capable as Mo Le, but he still trusts him. The student is willing to use his head to guarantee him. If he never comes back, please behead the student!" Jiang Chenghe said.
"The student is willing to guarantee him with his life!" Murong Lin said, "and also let Molecule send our letters home!"
"Oh?" Xiao Chen was very pleased when he heard this, "Mo Le can do Qing Kung Fu?"
"Forgive the student for being reckless!" After Tie Molle said this, he suddenly flashed out of the room and came back instantly with a dead branch in his hand.
"Eh? Qinggong is pretty good, it's a bit like killing someone thousands of miles away in leisurely fashion." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"My lord, you are ridiculous. The student's skills are meager. Compared with Tie Kunlun, they are still inferior." Tie Molele said.
"Eh? Do you still know about Tie Kunlun?" Xiao Chen was surprised.
"I dare not hide it from you, sir. Tie Kunlun is the student's senior brother. Although he studied in the same school, I have never seen him. I only heard the master talk about this senior brother," Tie Molele said.
"I see, it's no wonder. You have the same surname, so you are like brothers." Xiao Chen did not say that Tie Kunlun was in Yanyun now.
"Those are not brothers." Tie Molele said, "There are many people named Tie in our Kansai area."
"Well... Your Majesty is the garrison of Guanxi... Lin Qi, go..." Before Xiao Chen could finish his words, Lin Qi directly took a pair of Langya maps and spread them on the table. This boy is really a clever boy. Where's the ghost! How come you don't have the Langya map in your room?
