Du Tong didn't want to believe these words, but he knew that Fengju didn't need to lie to him.
Fengju's information was better than his. Although Lu's men were almost all killed at the beginning, there were still a few who were still there, and they were hidden very deeply.
People who are deeply hidden in the palace mean that their position will not be low and their information will be more accurate.
He had never doubted Fengju's news, but at this moment, he hoped it was false.
Otherwise, it would be too appalling.
how can that be possible?
The emperor was taught by him. The emperor clearly knew better than anyone else that scholars in the world could not just listen to one person's words.
Even if that person is an emperor!
The emperor insists on doing things that are clearly impossible to do. This is acting against nature and will be counterattacked!
Once the emperor goes against heaven, he will suffer more backlash and the impact will be greater!
It is not one person and one family, but one country and one dynasty!
In Du Tong's extremely ugly look, Du Fengju continued: "Father, I have always been thinking, why did Zhou Meiren die? The third prince has been taken to Shannan Road, and she is still pregnant. Is there any reason why she has to die? ?》Z.br>
"The emperor's most important heir, even if he knew that the third prince had disobedient intentions, he would only punish him under house arrest. Then there is no reason why he should not tolerate a concubine in the harem, or a pregnant concubine. Unless, the death of this concubine can be used for him. It will bring endless benefits, far greater than the benefits of being an imperial heir."
Du Fengju closed his eyes and recalled the previous analysis of these messages, and his heart was still shaken.
"Later, the Xue family came into contact with several scholars, and from their mouths, I discovered something was wrong."
This clue was obtained from the scholars who had contact with the Xue family, and it was related to the death of Zhou Meiren.
It turns out that those scholars who have close contacts with the Zhou family actually have more contacts with Zhou Meiren.
To be more precise, it was Zhou Mei who really had contact with scholars like Zhou family.
When Zhou Meiren was in the palace, she had a better understanding of the emperor's thoughts. In addition, she was talented and learned, and her influence on scholars was no less than that of other members of the Zhou family.
The reason why Zhou Meiren dared to go to Fuqing Palace to make those two requests was because of these scholars.
She believed that even if there was no third prince born, she could still get the support of these scholars by relying on the fetus in her belly.
After all, it was because of her that these scholars supported the third prince in the first place, which gave her enough confidence.
"Father, this sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? But that's what Zhou Meiren thinks, because... someone deliberately made her think like this. This person is the emperor!"
After His Highness told him the two requests made by Zhou Meiren, he still couldn't understand why Zhou Meiren would expose her weaknesses to Fuqing Palace and still be so confident.
It would make sense if the emperor had used a blind trick on her.
When Du Tong heard this, he understood and his face became even more ugly.
"Are you saying that the emperor killed Zhou Meiren and deliberately downplayed the cause of her death just to arouse the anger and fear of these scholars? Let them deliberately go to Jingzhao Mansion to cause trouble?"
Du Fengju nodded and said, "Yes, father. Since the incident between the third prince and the Zhou family, these scholars have become quiet. They seem to be far away from the Zhou family, but in fact they are secretly waiting for opportunities. If nothing happens, they will be there in a few days. I will go to Jingzhao Mansion to cause trouble."
Du Tong understood that this "accident" was the Jing Zhao rumor.
It's the same as going to Jingzhao Mansion to cause trouble. The premise and situation are the same, but the results will be different.
"With that rumor, if those scholars go to Jingzhao Mansion to cause trouble again, they are forcing the emperor to clarify himself, nothing more. If the emperor takes action against these scholars, the people's hearts will be more turbulent and the situation will be more unstable."
Emperor Yongning wanted to kill this group of scholars for next year's imperial examination, and to let the scholars in the world know that if they did not act according to the emperor's wishes, the fate that awaited them would be execution.
Who are the scholars in the world?
These are the future officials of the country, the cornerstones and pillars of the future of the country, and they are the people who are supposed to support the country.
If they only listen to the words of the emperor, once the emperor deviates, the entire dynasty will fall!
What a hidden danger! How shocking it is!
Du Tong didn't believe that the students he taught would be like this, and subconsciously shook his head: "He clearly knows that this will bring the country to ruin..."
"Yes, but he will still do it." Du Fengju took over the words and said sarcastically: "After all, the world is united, and no emperor can resist this."
Obviously, the emperor misunderstood that the world was united.
A mere pregnant concubine was indeed nothing to Emperor Yongning compared to the great aspirations of the world.
"Father, since I have noticed the emperor's thoughts, I must keep these scholars. After all, they are from the Imperial College and represent the most knowledgeable scholars in the world. Even if they associate with the Zhou family, it does not mean that they have anything. Rebellious."
With so many children of the Zhou family in the Imperial College, which scholar can cut off all contact with the Zhou family?
cannot.
So if the emperor wants to set up a scheme to kill this group of scholars, he will definitely kill innocent people.
He wanted to protect these scholars not only to protect the innocent, but also to protect the hard work of the Imperial College.
It is to protect the country and the future cornerstones and pillars of the country from falling!
The corners of Du Fengju's lips twitched and his eyes were cold: "Father, I did make people in Jingzhao shaken, but it only shook them for a moment. If the emperor is allowed to continue, then the country will be truly unstable and will be on the verge of collapse."
How could my father not know? My father just didn't think that bad of people.
Unlike him, from the moment his adoptive father died, he knew that the man in charge of the throne was not as kind and wise as he appeared.
Although the emperor is in charge of the dynasty and represents the dynasty, the emperor is never the dynasty.
Both Du Fengju and Dou Shiyuan clearly distinguish this point.
The crown blinds the eyes, and the pregnancy veil plugs the ears. This is the emperor of the country, but what Du Fengju wants to do in his life is to be an emperor who sees nothing and hears nothing.
But these are all things that only those scholars who have been saved can think of at this moment.
At first, he actually... didn't think so.
After thinking about it, Du Fengju said truthfully: "Father, actually...when I think of my adoptive father, I don't want to protect these scholars. Previously, I was too lazy to protect them."
If people's hearts are in turmoil, let it be turbulent. If the country is not stable, it will not be stable. He only has a few decades, so he doesn't care much.
but……
Du Fengju seemed to have thought of something, his eyes became softer, and his voice became warmer: "Father, the one who really wants to protect these scholars is His Highness Changding!"
