Chapter 99 Retreat

The atmosphere in the court suddenly freezes to freezing point. Although I don’t know the specific content, judging from Yang Shi’s behavior, it’s probably a traitor!

The emperor looked at Yang Shi with a sneer and said, "I let you read it out and let others listen."

"His Majesty……"

"read!"

The emperor roared, scaring Yang Shi's heart almost stopped.

He trembled and startled to recite: "I heard for a long time that my brother is righteous. Now Shi Xun is in trouble with the country. The holy way is covered with dust. If the heart of heaven is not sensitive, the country will collapse and the four extremes will collapse and the world will perish. Our saints and disciples take it as their responsibility to save the people of the world. We should jointly name our scholars and officials to report to the emperor and kill Shi Xun to correct the foundation of the country! Wen Xianggong once said that the king and scholars and officials will rule the world together, and do not rule the world with the people. This is the holy way. If we act against the heavens now, we should do the corrective action and welcome Your Majesty to return to the throne..."

When he thought about this, he no longer dared to read it. What is he going to do? This is to rebel!

Yang Shi crawled on the ground, his whole body trembling: "The emperor forgives the crime, the guilty minister does not know, and the guilty minister does not know!"

Zhao Huan looked gloomy and looked at the other ministers, each of whom bowed his head and said nothing.

"It's not over yet. I still have a lot of letters here, Wang Boyan, Tang Ke, Xu Churen, what? Zhou Chao, Li Gang, Zhang Shuye..."

The emperor pronounced his names one by one, and each name came out was shocking. The ministers of both palaces were actually among them.

"Do you think I am following the law and not punishing the public?"

"The emperor calms down, I am not aware of it!"

The names of the ministers of the two prefectures and the six ministers were all listed. They each knelt on the ground, and were frightened. At this time, they were labeled as a rebellion. This was a serious crime of quarrel and genocide. They had no intention of talking to the Confucius Mansion. They hated Kong Duanjiao to the core, and they wished the emperor would immediately take the blame for the Confucius Mansion!

Mom is so happy! I talk to the Kong Mansion in front of the emperor. You, Kong Duan, are so stupid. It’s not enough to stab me in the back and murder me alone. You have to trap all my tribe members. If I don’t kill you today, you really think that you are bleeding from your body, right?

How could Zhao Huan let it go if he finally got such an opportunity to cause trouble?

Zhao Huan said coldly: "I don't know what's going on?"

The ministers were even more distressed. The emperor was asking questions knowingly and was trying to force the ministers to express their opinions in the court.

The ministers all crawled on the ground and didn't dare to speak. The emperor began to call out: "Come on, Wang Boyan, tell me, what do you know?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know that there were letters sent by the Confucius Mansion, and I have never had any letters with the Confucius Mansion."

"What else?"

Wang Boyan gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know that the Confucius Mansion has made such a ruthless act?"

The emperor asked, "How can you be so ruthless?"

The emperor was more than the ministers who told the crimes of the Confucius Mansion in person. The ministers all complained in their hearts, but they were already determined to kill the Confucius Mansion today!

Wang Boyan said: "Slander the Lord and plot to rebel!"

As soon as Wang Boyan said this, his heart was empty. He had never expected that a person like him who read the books of sages would one day publicly accuse the saints of the saints in the court and then plotted to rebel.

The other ministers felt bad, but this was said by Wang Boyan and it had nothing to do with them.

The emperor said again: "Where are the others? Come and tell me how much the Confucius Mansion is so rebellious? If someone doesn't say it today, he will admit his conspiracy with Kong Duancao. I will do it according to the law!"

Damn! The other ministers were just glad that Wang Boyan was the first to be the first to be a bird, and it had nothing to do with them. Now the emperor has blocked their retreat directly.

He Ye, who was on the side, said: "Slander the lord, plot to rebel, and be punished according to the crime!"

Other ministers also began to say: "The Confucius Mansion is disrespectful to the law, blasphemed the emperor, plots to rebel, and is punished according to the crime!"

Everyone began to express their opinions, and the situation in the court took a sharp turn.

Zhao Huan sat back on the throne and looked at his ministers. The air above the court seemed to have solidified, and the ministers were so nervous that they were sweating profusely.

"Get up."

"Thank you, the emperor."

The ministers then stood up with difficulty, but each of them was soaked in cold sweat.

Zhao Huan looked virtuous and loving, and even his tone became softer: "It seems that you have been wronged, so what should the Confucius Mansion do next?"

The ministers had just breathed a sigh of relief, and the problem that the emperor threw was stuck in the neck. The emperor was forcing them to kill the Confucius Mansion. In the future, everyone in the world would point the initiator of the matter to the minister.

But there is no way. Now it’s either that the Kong Mansion dies, or that they die. Who told Kong Duancao to write so many letters and hand them over, but they are all caught by the Imperial City Department without any missed.

What a stupid pig! Why is such a stupid pig behind a saint?

He Ye immediately jumped out and said, "Get up and report to Your Majesty. I think that Confucius's mansion is going against the will of heaven and poisons the country, and he should punish the whole family according to the crime!"

Wang Boyan immediately said: "No! After all, the Confucius Mansion was a saint. Emperor Renzong personally gave Yan Shenggong. If the imperial court killed the entire Confucius Mansion, it would cause turmoil in the world."

Liu Yanzong said: "If you don't kill the whole family, how can you be the emperor's majesty? How can you show justice?"

Xu Churen stood up and said, "What Mr. Wang said is very true. I think Your Majesty can remove the Duke of Yansheng, confiscate the land of Kong Mansion, and throw Kong Duancao into the Heavenly Prison!"

Tang Ke said: "I also agree with the words of Mr. Wang and Mr. Xu."

At this time, Shi Xun stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Confucius created Confucian classics for China, and was a wise man in China. I believe that Confucius should be offered to the Palace of Heroes and Spirits, and to be admired by all generations to tell the world that Your Majesty governs the country with benevolence and virtue. However, what does the merits of our ancestors have to do with future generations? The virtues of the Confucius Mansion should be abolished!"

Shi Xun is one of the core figures of this incident. Originally, the cause was just the same as Kong Xiang and Xu A San, but the Song Dynasty Dibao did not shy away from comments on this matter, accusing the Confucius Mansion of being domineering, treating human lives as a mustard, and not as an example in the world...

After this, he put aside the relationship between Confucius's mansion and Confucius and then explained what to do, which made Zhao Huan highly recognize it.

But other ministers obviously still objected. They believed that they should deal with it, but they were concerned about the saints and should be given a slight resignation.

Zhao Huan took a deep breath and said again: "Come on, give this book to Mr. Wang."

The little eunuch handed the confession of the crime in his hand to Wang Yanbo. Wang Boyan opened it in a daze and couldn't help but exclaim: "What! The Confucius Mansion destroyed Xu A San's family! Even a three-year-old child has never been let go!"

As soon as he said this, the court fell into silence again.

The way of a saint is to pay attention to benevolence and righteousness and treat others with courtesy. After being a saint, why did the Confucius Mansion do such a vicious thing against the saint's teachings?

The Confucius Mansion is a holy land in the hearts of Confucian scholars all over the world, and should be an example for the world. If the world has such an example, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?

Zhao Huan looked at the ministers below and said, "Come on, let me tell you again, how should I deal with the Confucius Mansion?"

This time, even Wang Boyan changed his words: "The Confucius Mansion commits rebellion and is unkind to the subordinates, which violates the teachings of the sage and Taoism, and does not qualify as a rank. He should remove his title, abolish the common people, and impose himself on the frontier to correct the country's foundation!"

The other ministers were also the same as Wang Boyan.
