…
Liu Ce originally wanted to continue chatting with Yang Sicheng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this technical geek had always been diligent in his work. He couldn't think of what to say, so he directly asked everyone: "By the way, Wang Daofu is still here." Outside the palace gate?"
Xu Wenjing replied: "Your Majesty, it has been six days. This Wang Daofu has gone too far. He led a group of Jinling students to make trouble outside the palace gate every day, which seriously affects your Majesty's reputation."
Liu Ce raised his body slightly: "Then what is he making? I am very curious. What is it that makes Wang Daofu, a great scholar, go to Chang'an thousands of miles away from the south of the Yangtze River to make trouble?"
Ye Bin said: "Your Majesty, this Wang Daofu has said that there will be a big disaster in Jingdi this year, and the imperial court refuses to save them. He wants to plead for the people of Jingdi and implore your majesty to send food for disaster relief."
When Liu Ce heard this, his face sank slightly. Before he could speak, Gongyang Gao said first, "This Wang Daofu is really unreasonable. I have seen him once.
He also handed the new newspaper into his hands, but Wang Daru didn't even read a word and said that the content in the newspaper was fabricated by the imperial court to deceive the people. "
Faji immediately stood up: "Although our country has only been in existence for less than three years, newspapers have been published in various parts of the Far East for more than a day or two.
Whether it is Dahan Times or literature, poetry, entertainment and miscellaneous publications, every article has been strictly inspected and verified by the printing factory. Wang Daofu dared to declare that the newspaper was fake without even looking at it.
Is this kind of pedantic and stubborn person worthy of the title of Great Confucian? It really disgraces the reputation of a true scholar. I should investigate his background carefully.
If anyone violates the laws of the Han Dynasty, he will be severely punished! "
Qin Mo sighed: "Many Confucian scholars from all over the Central Plains are like this. They hold a book of sages and memorize the teachings by rote all day long without doing any work. They are like maggots attached to their bones, relying on the support of the nobles behind them to do whatever they want.
There are very few aspiring Confucian scholars like Xin Qixuan and Zhuge Zhi. Wei Chen thought that Gongyang Shangshu should be like me, and he had a deep understanding of this. "
Gongyang closed his eyes and shook his head seriously, acquiescing to what Qin Mo said. With the current situation of the Confucian school, how could he not be regarded as a Confucian alien and be ostracized?
Regarding Wang Daofu, the attitude of the six ministers was unprecedentedly consistent, thinking that he was just a bastard looking for trouble, no different from Kong Yifu, a first-rank Hanlin Academy scholar who was reprimanded a year ago.
Liu Ce leaned against the table, his right arm resting on half of his cheek, he tapped the table with his left hand, and after thinking for a moment, he softly shouted: "Prince Wang!"
"The old slave is here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked out of the screen of mountains and rivers and the country map behind the dragon chair and stood respectfully beside Liu Ce.
Wearing eunuch attire, he is none other than Wang Xiaoyu, the former eunuch who served Liu Ce in his daily life. He is probably the last eunuch in the Central Plains.
Liu Ce said to Wang Xiaoyu: "Order someone to prepare a table and chairs and invite Wang Daofu to come to the palace. Remember not to neglect him."
"Old slave obeys the order."
Wang Xiaoyu followed the order and left the main hall, walking quickly towards the gate of Weiyang Palace.
…
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you really want to be a foolish king who will be infamous for thousands of years?"
"If you go to war with the Mengluo people, will you risk the lives of the people on the border?"
"Your Majesty! Come out and take a look. Jingdi is full of people dying of hunger. Don't you care?"
"Oh my God! Open your eyes and save the people of the Central Plains! Oh my God!"
Outside the palace gate, Wang Daofu and a group of students were still kneeling on the ground and shouting to the sky, attracting countless passing people to watch and point at him.
"Who is this old man?"
"Who knows, he kneels outside the palace gate and yells blindly every day. Who knows what he is going to do!"
"Thanks to His Majesty's kindness, if it were the previous emperor, would you believe it? He would have been dragged to beheaded long ago if he made such a fuss."
"That's right, I don't know what he wants to do!"
The people watching expressed their incomprehension towards Wang Daofu's behavior. If they had any grievances and wanted to express their demands, they could go to Dongjun Prefecture to talk to him. However, the old man was making trouble here every day, from morning to night, and no one could persuade him. listen.
Tired of scolding, Wang Daofu handed over the tea brought by the students, took a sip to moisten his throat, then pointed at the people watching around him and shouted: "You ordinary people, are you watching my joke? What I am doing , but I’m begging for your life!”
When the people heard this, they immediately looked at each other and asked for help? What kind of life are you asking for? We are living a good life, when did we need you to make irresponsible remarks?
"Huh, ordinary people, if you don't read the books of sages, you can't understand the principles. That's all. Talking to you is a waste of words!"
Wang Daofu ignored the people, said something contemptuously, and then continued to shout loudly...
At this time, Wang Xiaoyu came to the palace gate with a group of guards. When he saw Wang Daofu still cursing there, his face sank, and he slowly stepped forward and said: "Wang Daru, Your Majesty, please come to the palace to have a talk. "
Wang Daofu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this: "Your Majesty really wants to see me?"
Wang Xiaoyu crossed his hands and hung them on his lower abdomen, and said seriously: "Of course it is true, Wang Daru, why don't you follow me into the palace."
Wang Daofu immediately stood up with the help of his students, carefully packed his clothes and appearance, his face was radiant.
The six days of hard work were not in vain. I really impressed the new king in the palace. After today, my reputation will spread all over the country!
Wang Daofu had already made a plan in his mind. When he saw Liu Ce, the first thing he wanted to do was to ask him why he ignored the disaster in Jingdi, the second thing was to ask him why he went to war, and the third thing was to ask him why he wanted to conquer all parts of Jiangnan. The officials were sent to the border areas to serve their sentences, and finally intervened in Liu Ce's harem affairs and ordered him to dethrone Song Yanran, who was born as a commoner.
After Liu Ce felt ashamed, he persuaded him earnestly and asked him to restore the old system of the previous dynasty. The gentry and the royal family once again ruled the world together. Then he made a truce with the Mengluo people and returned all the Western Regions occupied by the Han army to the Mengluo people. .
As long as Liu Ce accepts his suggestion, his name will be spread all over the country. Even if Liu Ce kills himself in anger, he will still get a very resounding name, which will have untold benefits for his family. .
After calculating everything, Wang Daofu looked back at his students with great confidence, said goodbye to them, and strode into the palace gate.
While Wang Xiaoyu went to invite Wang Daofu into the palace, Liu Ce, Xu Wenjing and other six ministers discussed the recent actions of the Chu army south of the Changhe River, occupying millions of square kilometers in Qingzhou and Huzhou.
Xu Wenjing said: "Your Majesty, I have been thinking carefully these days. The movements of the Chu army are very strange. It seems that they have caught my big man's focus at Xuanwu Pass at the moment.
It was intended to mobilize an army of 200,000 to hoard troops south of the Yangtze River to exert pressure. However, judging from the comparison of the military strength of the enemy and ourselves, the Chu army currently does not have the strength to directly conflict with the Jingzhou Army led by Wu Zhenying. "
