Yu Jie's affairs are easy to investigate. The content of his impeachment was that he held a banquet at home, invited prostitutes to the banquet, and gathered a crowd to cause chaos.
Just call the people who were present and ask.
It only took the Yushi Mansion half a day to find out everything. The people who attended the banquet that day were all friends of Yu Jie, but most of them were white. When they thought they were going to be sued, these people Everything that should be said and should not be said was revealed, including the prostitutes who made inquiries, confirming that the content of the impeachment was true.
At the same time, some other things about Yu Jie were also unearthed.
In the palace study, Shangguan Wenruo is reporting the matter.
"According to the investigation by the Yushifu, on the evening of September 20th, a Hanlin bachelor held a banquet at his home. A total of seven people gathered at the banquet and summoned 12 prostitutes. During the period, they were naked. The Yushifu has already dealt with these people. Once summoned, there was no omission, and the crowd was indeed in a romantic mood on the steps."
"What is romantic? Isn't it just gathering people to cause chaos? Can the nature of these two words be the same?" Xiao Yuan said in a somewhat unpleasant tone: "Tear off this fig leaf!"
"Yes, your Majesty taught you a lesson."
Shangguan Wenruo bowed his head slightly and said: "In addition, according to one of the singers named Mei'er, Yu Jie not only did this, but also used the singer to bribe him half a year ago."
"Let's deal with it according to the law, without any mercy!" Xiao Yuan said coldly.
"Yes." Shangguan Wenruo accepted the order.
"Such people who talk about benevolence, justice and morality secretly do dirty and dirty things, especially scholars. Hypocrites are not enough to be named." Xiao Yuan struck again mercilessly.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."
Xiao Yuan waved his hand and signaled him to retreat.
After this matter was dealt with, it quickly spread in the Academy of Literature.
Hanlin is a place where literati gather and claims to be a place of purity. But now a Hanlin bachelor has done such a disgusting thing.
It's like a mouse droppings spoiling a pot of soup.
For a moment, there was a lot of scolding.
Who here is not a person who respects his reputation? Someone angrily said:
"You are a scum! What a disgrace to Shilin!"
"At first I thought he was a benevolent gentleman and I wanted to have friendship with him. I didn't expect him to be such a person. It's chilling to think about it."
"This person is usually very good at pretending."
"Have you heard that His Majesty has some opinions on Hanlin because of this matter?"
"this!"
"Yu Jie is hateful! He has insulted the reputation of a scholar!"
"Shame! What a disgrace!"
"I'm so ashamed to have walked with him in the first place!"
"Also, I heard that Yan Ming attacked Taige on this matter and believed that the Hanlin Academy is a place for scholars to harbor filth and evil. It can be said that his words are like swords."
"Yan Shangshu is already at odds with Taige. In this kind of political struggle, he will definitely take action if he seizes the opportunity."
"What should we do? Mr. Dong should argue with him in court!"
"I heard that Master Dong has fallen ill from anger and is recovering at home."
"Yu Jie is a scholar in vain, how shameless!"
There have been a lot of discussions in the Hanlin Academy in the past two days, and there were people who were full of angry accusations. Some people even wrote sharply and listed out the crimes and scolded him bloody. Things between these scholars are normal.
Dong Shu was indeed ill, and he was angered by Yu Jie. After all, he was still his student.
The old man values his reputation too much, and this incident is equivalent to giving him a critical blow.
After hearing that he fell ill, Xiao Yuan also called Liu Yuzhi and Peng Shuang, planning to visit him in person and see how the people reacted to the ghost clan.
The monarch and his ministers are all in casual clothes.
In front of the emperor and the prime minister, Peng Shuang, the Duke of Dingguo, acted as a follower.
The three of them walked towards Dong Shu's residence as if walking. Looking at the bustling Chang'an, Xiao Yuan said casually: "Old Liu and Lao Peng, do you still remember the time when the three of us first met in Liucheng?"
"Of course I remember." Liu Yuzhi became more and more nostalgic as he got older, recalling the past and said: "I still remember that at that time, His Majesty, the young master was like a jade, he was full of splendor, full of passion, and wanted to put an end to the troubled times."
"General Peng Shuang is also tall and handsome, full of heroic spirit."
"Tsk, look, Lao Liu is saying that we are no longer what we were before." Xiao Yuan said to Peng Shuangle: "What, I am no longer a young master like jade now? Aren't Lao Peng no longer tall and handsome?"
"That's right, I don't think Xiang Guo's beard is as beautiful as it was back then." Peng Shuang followed suit: "I remember that in Liucheng, the county magistrate was upright and well-loved by the people in the city. He did not hesitate to live for the sake of people's livelihood."
"Ha ha--"
The founding monarchs and ministers were joking and laughing heartily.
The meeting of the three seemed destined.
Not long after, they arrived at Dong Shu's house. Xiao Yuan said, "This matter has nothing to do with Dong Shu. Don't get really angry because of your self-blame."
"Yes." Liu Yuzhi said: "Tai Pavilion is very important. Mr. Dong is a great man of the generation. He has too much integrity. Such a thing happened to his favorite disciple. In addition, Yan Ming took advantage of the situation to attack, saying that he was harboring filth and was a useless person. Master, with his emphasis on good reputation, he will indeed be pissed off."
"So sometimes it is said that literati are too bitter, especially great literati." Xiao Yuan was noncommittal.
Liu Yuzhi smiled, and the three of them arrived in front of the mansion. Peng Shuang stepped forward to call the door and communicated with the Dong Mansion.
Inside the mansion.
Dong Shu lay on the bed, still angry.
The old man has gray hair and beard, and deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
"Beast! Beast!"
He cursed Yu Jie and couldn't help coughing at the same time.
"Father, calm down. Yu Jie has been brought to justice. Don't get angry because of a villain." The eldest son hurriedly stepped forward to calm him down.
"Hao'er, tell me how I managed to teach such a student."
"This matter has nothing to do with father. It's Yu Jie's own fault."
"But it was I who sent him to the Imperial Academy in the first place." Dong Shu said: "This man has a low character, is stuck in trivial matters, and is narrow-minded. As a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, he actually invited prostitutes to sit at banquets, and his clothes were not covered, and he also used The singer's bribery is really an insult to Shilin."
The eldest son was still about to comfort him, but at this moment, the housekeeper hurried in: "Sir! Your Majesty and the Prime Minister are here, as well as Duke Ding."
"Ah?" Dong Shu was startled when he heard this and hurriedly stood up: "Quick, Hao'er help me up."
When Xiao Yuan came over, Dong Shu had already hurriedly greeted him, knelt down and saluted, and said, "I am here to see you, Your Majesty."
"You don't need to be polite, Mr. Dong."
Xiao Yuan helped him up and said gently: "I heard that Dong Qing is ill at home. I happen to have nothing to do today, so I came over with the Prime Minister and General Peng to visit."
"My lord, how could you please your Majesty to trouble yourself with your virtues?" Dong Shu said excitedly. It is understandable how he felt when the emperor valued him so much, especially for a scholar like him.
"Officials who love you and your country should not harm your body because of your anger." Xiao Yuandao: "Yu Jie is Yu Jie, and loving Qing is loving Qing. Could it be that a teacher teaches a student, and the student succeeds in his studies, and after he obtains fame, he becomes a Is it also the teacher’s responsibility to marry a corrupt official? That’s because his own moral character is shallow!”
Peng Shuang followed and said carelessly: "That's right, Mr. Dong, you think too much!"
"This is what His Majesty and Duke Dingguo taught you."
