Straight man of steel

Chapter 338 Consequences of Cold Treatment
"Zhang Yuan didn't do anything after he found out?"

On the Jade Hall of Jianzhang Palace, Liu Che stared at an embroidered emissary below and asked.

Wei Qing also stood aside, and Liu Che didn't seem to want Wei Qing to avoid it, but after today, this embroidered clothes messenger can no longer be used.

"I don't dare to talk nonsense, Taixue Cheng Wu Qiu Shou Wang reported the matter to Taixue Ling Zhang Yuan, then went back to his own official office, our own people tentatively asked Taixuecheng.

Tai Xuecheng said to ignore it for the time being, and said that this was the meaning of Tai Xueling Zhang Yuan.

In addition, news came from the county government of Duxian County that Zhang Yuan, the order of the Taixue, ordered that the deceased examinee be compensated [-] yuan. "

"Okay, you go down, and continue to send people to watch Taixue."

"Here."

Wei Qing wasn't the only one with an ugly face, Liu Che was also wondering whether it was the right choice for him to entrust the Taixue to Zhang Yuan, and he was already considering who would be the most suitable for the position of the Taixueling.

"Your Majesty, I think that the Taixue Ling should be given some more time, otherwise others might do some radical behavior at this time.

The reason to appease the deceased was probably that he didn't want to make things worse. The minister thought that His Majesty also didn't want to see Taixue order Zhang Yuan to arrest those candidates who spread rumors in Du County. "

Liu Che's headache is in this place, and now there is still a palace guard in Zhang Yuan's hands, and they dare not let those palace guards rebel, but arresting some students who make trouble is nothing.

When more than 90.00% of Han officials encounter this kind of thing, their first reaction is to arrest people. Liu Che understands this very well.

But if you don't catch it, it will be even more strange. This kind of strangeness will make Liu Che feel that there is really something to dig out.

In addition, why should compensation be given to the candidate who committed suicide?

There are so many suicides in this world, if you don't cherish your own life, what does it matter to others?
A dog will jump over a wall in a hurry, and a rabbit will bite a person in a hurry.

Could it be that Zhang Yuan was worried that if he didn't catch the important person, it would cause a bigger reaction, or that the truth would surface directly?
If the rumor continues to spread, it means that no one has any evidence for the rumor, so Zhang Yuan doesn't bother to care about it, and doesn't anger those who spread the rumor.

The more Liu Che thought about it, the more he lost sight of it, and for a moment he forgot what Wei Qing said just now.

As for who is promoting the spread of rumors, does Liu Che care?He doesn't care at all.

The most confident emperor in ancient and modern times, Liu Che can be ranked in the top five. He only thinks that rumors cannot interfere with his judgment, and his judgment is correct.

"His Majesty!"

For the first time, Wei Qing was tough in front of Liu Che.

"Ok?"

Liu Che frowned and stared at Wei Qing.

"Please ask Your Majesty to give Taixue Ling some time. Maybe Taixue Ling can come up with a better solution."

Wei Qing boldly said that at this time he was very different from Wei Qing galloping on the battlefield.

"Then it's just for your sake. It's only three days. If it doesn't work, I'll replace him. I still don't believe it. Isn't he the only one Zhang Yuan can do?"

It feels so good to control the fate of others, Liu Che has already decided that Zhang Yuan has a ghost.

If Zhang Yuan knew that Liu Che thought this way, he would probably burst into tears. It was really like someone came from home and sat on a pot from the sky.

"I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of the Taixue Ling."

In order to keep it secret, Wei Qing had to stay in the palace for three days. Liu Che didn't ground Wei Qing, it was entirely Wei Qing's own self-consciousness.

Wei Qing had already made up his mind and sat quietly in the Imperial Servant's Office for three days. He did not go to court, did not handle government affairs, and did not see outsiders. He was completely isolated from the outside world.

Judging the situation and knowing how to advance and retreat are Wei Qing's greatest strengths.

He is the best commander of the big man, and he is also the best courtier.

He did not support his retainers, did not make friends with high-ranking officials, and did not meet his sister Wei Zifu in private.

If it weren't for the fact that he was too close to Zhang Yuan, Liu Che wouldn't have the slightest bit of dissatisfaction with Wei Qing in his heart, and he wouldn't have tried this time.

Du County.

The day when the list was released has passed, and Zhu Dan's body has been placed in the Duxian county government for a whole day.

But today the county soldiers in Du County made a coffin to store Zhu Dan's body, and got a carriage to put the coffin up.

He was escorted by an official from Taixue and four county soldiers.

The destination of these five people is naturally Shexian County, Shangdang County, Zhu Dan's home.

When it was at the cusp of the storm, the actions of the Duxian county government naturally attracted the attention of others, and the news that Zhang Yuan ordered Zhu Dan's family to be compensated tens of thousands of dollars was also spread.

This time it really stirred up a thousand layers of waves, almost everyone felt that there was a ghost in Zhang Yuan's heart.

"Is it true that you said that the Taixue entrance examination results were falsified?"

"It's all up to this point. It's not obvious yet. Not only is the fake grades true, but I'm afraid the quota replacement is also true."

"Yes, Zhu Dan has failed the exam. His suicide had nothing to do with Taixue. Now Taixue orders him to mainly compensate him because his place was replaced by someone else.

Compensating his family is just trying to use money to silence their family, isn't this kind of thing rare?

The powerful use power to suppress others, and the rich use money to suppress others. "

"Hey, at first I thought that the rise of Taixue would lead to the prosperity of Confucianism, but I didn't expect that there would be no clean place in the whole world for us to live in."

"There is darkness all around, where is the right direction for us Confucian scholars to go next?"

Among the candidates, there are wise men and rumor spreaders. They don't believe these rumors, but most of the candidates don't have a clear understanding, and they believe what is rumored outside.

Those examinees who mocked Zhu Dan earlier for forcing Zhu Dan to commit suicide all believed in their hearts that Zhu Dan was really wronged.

Those people are now the loudest protesters.

Ugly people don't know it, and they still think they are the righteous party. This is the phenomenon now.

This group of people is now gathered at the gate of Taixue. Zhang Yuan's retreat and cold treatment made these people look down on Zhang Yuan even more, and from the bottom of their hearts, they feel that Liu Che will not ignore it. They just need to continue to make trouble. Big is fine.

"Build a heart for heaven and earth? Create a life for the people? To inherit the knowledge of the past saints? To create peace for all generations?

Now it seems really mocking. When I heard that the Taixue Ling Zhang Yuan said these four sentences earlier, I actually regarded him as the leader who can lead us out of the fog. "

"It's a pity! It's a pity! It's ridiculous!"

"In this world, apart from us Confucian scholars themselves, is there anyone else who can speak for Confucian scholars?"

A group of people stood at the entrance of Taixue, staring at the stone tablet engraved with the four sentences of Hengqu, feeling sad for a moment.

"Yes, we can only stand up and fight for our own interests.

Dong Zi is not in Chang'an, so the Taixue Ling must be held by a real master of Confucian classics, not Qinshou who is dressed as a Confucian scholar like Zhang Yuan. "

Now in the eyes of these Confucian scholars, Zhang Yuan is the same person as Zhu Fuyan, who seeks benefits for himself in the cloak of Confucianism.

Zhang Yuan, who was staying at the Taixueling's mansion, was no longer bewildered.

Although he told King Wuqiu Shou to ignore the rumors for the time being, he also dispatched his own forces to infiltrate among the candidates.

You have to know what everyone says about you, some black fans are really cute.

Especially what happened at the gate of Taixue quickly reached Zhang Yuan's ears.

"That's really what they said?"

"Yes, teacher.

Most candidates think that such a thing will not happen only if the Taixue Order is held by a master of Confucian classics.

Most of the students who participated in the entrance examination were Confucian students. Now that there are rumors that we have tampered with the grades to replace the places, the Confucian students all think that this is harming their interests.

Teacher, you think, if there are really things like falsification of grades and replacement of places, these vested interests probably have never studied Confucian classics, otherwise they would not fail to pass the Taixue exam. "

"Do you also think there is something shady about the entrance examination?"

Zhang Yuan really didn't expect Yan Yi to say these words. There is nothing wrong with talking about Confucian scholars. Yan Yi himself is a descendant of Yan Zi, a representative of orthodox Confucianism.

It's just that Yan Yi's teacher is Zhang Yuan now. These candidates are standing on the opposite side of Zhang Yuan, and they are already doing their best to pour dirty water on Zhang Yuan. Yan Yi still speaks for those Confucian scholars, which really makes Zhang Yuan feel cold. .

"No, no, the students never thought about it that way.

But the students know the teacher, the teacher is not the kind of person who just waits to die, and asks the teacher to give the candidates a chance. "

Yan Yi directly clarified his thoughts, which made Zhang Yuan withdraw his cold eyes.

"They fought for the opportunity themselves, and now they don't want it, so I'm too lazy to give it."

After knowing the rumors at the gate of Taixue, Zhang Yuan knew what was going on, but he didn't know who was standing behind the scenes, but it didn't matter anymore.

"Go down and tell Tai Xuecheng to gather all the candidates in the front hall square, I have something to say."

Knowing the truth of the matter, the countermeasures will come out naturally.

Yan Yi was a little uneasy, he felt that Zhang Yuan didn't listen to what he said at all, but he didn't say anything more at this time.

"Yes, the student will go find Taixue Cheng now."
