All enemies bow down to me

On the second day, Prime Minister Lu submitted the document of impeachment of the Ling family.

First, it elaborates on Lingjie Wanfo Temple's ugly deeds of pretending to be filial and oppressing others.Then he reprimanded Ling's father for not managing the family strictly and for ignoring the grace of God.

At the same time, he deliberately pointed out that Mrs. Ling fell ill just after His Majesty gave the punishment. Could it be that the Ling family is using this method to imply dissatisfaction with the Holy Majesty?However, as a courtier, thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, this Ling family is too arrogant.

"Ling Daoru is so courageous!"

Longyan in the Jinluan Hall was furious, and at the same time sent someone to the Ling family to pass down an order: Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be combined. Since the old lady Ling is dying, the king should not be too unkind. If you want Ding You, then you must!

With a word of mouth, the Ling family was in a state of desolation.

This was actually putting the label of disloyalty on the Ling family's head.In this world where the ruler is the ruler and the subject is the leader, if the emperor regards it as disloyal, then the days to come will be difficult. Not to mention that this generation will completely decline, I am afraid that within three generations, all five servants will be affected.

The several aristocratic families who had been close friends with the Ling family made no sign of alienation, even Ling Jie's mother's family also kept a distance.

In Old Madam Ling's courtyard, Father Ling, Ling Jie and several brothers from the same family gathered here to discuss countermeasures.At this moment, the concierge came to report that a young monk who claimed to be from Wanfo Temple had brought a cart of things for the old lady.

Wanfo Temple is the largest temple in Shangjing, and the abbot there would be invited to chant sutras even for the emperor's sacrifice to heaven.The Ling family was already troubled, so at this juncture, even if the young monk came at an untimely time, he still did not dare to neglect.

The middle door was wide open, and Father Ling brought someone to pick him up.However, the little monk didn't seem to want to have more contact, so he put down his things and left.

Ling's father ordered someone to carry the box back to Mrs. Ling's yard.The old lady opened the box with her own hands, and when she saw the contents, her face turned pale with anger.

What was impressively contained in it was the 98 times of the "King of Medicine" copied by Tong You at that time, and most of the top 99 times had already been completed.Reminiscent of what happened at Wanfo Temple before, Old Madam Ling became more and more angry.

This Tong You is so clever!

Please have thousands of ever-burning lamps, copy ninety-nine scriptures, and everyone who knows about personnel should praise him for his filial piety.But in fact, he was extremely presumptuous, cursing her to die everywhere.

The flames of the thousands of lamps were extinguished when the time came, and they stopped halfway after only a few sentences.Everyone said that Tong You was sincere enough, so didn't that imply that her time was short and the king of Hades would not stay?

For a moment, the old matriarch was furious, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.The Ling family was in a hurry again.

-------------------

Small courtyard

Tong You was leaning on the soft couch and flipping through a book.The little boy who was waiting on the side fanned him, and told him vividly and vividly about the Ling family's movements.

"Master, you don't know. Not long after the young master of Wanfo Temple came out of Ling's house, Mrs. Ling became ill again. It's just that this time it's worse than any other time. It's said that he vomited blood all over the place, and he fainted." passed."

"Isn't that just right? Zuo Ling's family is on Ding You's book, so they won't be too busy if they have something to do. What's more..." Putting down the book in his hand, Tong You's tone became more gentle: "It's always about relatives, I You can't watch them really bully you."

-------------------

Shangjing has always been the place where the wind changes the fastest.Even if it is the family of Zhongming Dingshi, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, once it is robbed, it will be completely silent in less than a month.And those students from poor families, if they can be favored by the great favor, it is not difficult for them to be named generals and prime ministers.

That's the case with the Ling family, but they didn't just stay in the doldrums, instead they were closely planning how to rise again.

What's more, after this incident, everyone in the Ling family has become more cautious, and at the same time, they are all thinking carefully, how can such a big family not be able to compete with an ordinary 13-year-old child?In the final analysis, the opportunity was missed because of contempt.

However, the Ling family is an established family after all, and if they lose for a while, it may not be impossible to turn things around.

Soon, Mrs. Ling announced that she had recovered from her illness, and took advantage of the Empress Dowager Qianqiu to hand over the sign to enter the palace.However, during half a cup of tea, the holy will was reversed, and the imperial decree was issued again to recall Ling's father to the court, and those of the Ling family who were approved as sons Ding You also ended Ding You's reinstatement.

At the same time, Ling Jie, as the third generation of the Ling family, also made a big splash.In the first exam after returning to the Imperial College, Ling Jie's theory on flood control became a blockbuster, and he was actually recruited by the great Confucianist Fan Jiqing.

Fan Jiqing was the youngest student of the crown prince and Taifu, and his knowledge was top notch.Ling Jie was valued by him, so the future was bright.

All of a sudden, the Ling family was in turmoil, and there was a tendency to make a comeback.

But Tong You's side is much more ordinary, besides studying at home every day, he rarely goes out.But he is sensitive to the changes around him.

The students have always formed a circle, and those admitted in the same year often huddle together and call each other classmates.This small circle is the embryonic form of future officialdom.

But now this circle excludes Tong You, the reason is self-evident.But Tong You didn't care. At the same time, his behavior became more and more watertight, making it impossible for people to find fault.

The atmosphere between Ling's family and Tong You instantly became subtle, as if there was nothing wrong with it.But those who have good things can see that the Ling family will take action against Tong You sooner or later.And this time it will be crushed directly, and there will be no room for him to breathe.

Cutting off contacts right now is just the first step.

This is the so-called method used by the rich and powerful. Tong You's heart is the same as that of Ming Jing'er, and there is no anxiety on his face.What's more, he has long been prepared, but he still has to wait for an opportunity.

After all, a slap in the face must hit the most painful place, and the Ling family's nasty actions really made him disdainful.

Piyong Hall of the Imperial College

According to the "Book of Rites King System", the name of the emperor's school is Piyong.

Three rooms and four ridges, a treasure top with double eaves, white jade paving the floor, and glazed roof, built such a magnificent Piyong Hall.At the same time, it is also the place where great Confucian scholars in Shangjing were hired by the emperor to publicly preach and teach.Therefore, the supervising students of Guozijian are also known as the emperor's disciples.

Today, the Holy Master promotes Confucianism, and schools all over the world have followed suit and created such teaching platforms.It's just that in the Piyong Hall in Shangjing, those who can stand on the podium are all famous Confucian scholars of the dynasty, and even the emperor once came to teach in person.

As for the great Confucian who is giving lectures today, his status is naturally also very detached, and he is the crown prince and Taifu Zhang Zian.

Zhang Zian is a well-known scholar. Although he stepped into the imperial court, he still maintained his character of a scholar.Even if it does not lead to power, it is not underestimated.At the same time, the title of future emperor teacher also increased his status in Da'an.

Therefore, there are as many students as Jiang Li who want to worship under him.After all, with such a teacher as a backer, the future is naturally bright and bright.

There was more than half an hour before the start of the lecture, but the Biyong Hall was already overcrowded.The Guozijian sacrificial wine also arrived early, for fear of any accidents, even the surrounding guards were three layers more than usual.

But even if it is so strict, it can't calm down the excited students.There was a lot of voices in the Biyong Hall, and if you listen carefully, they are all the childish high-spirited chatter of the supervisors.

However, there are two people who are completely different from it.One of them is Tong You.Tong You's position is in the back corner, which is very inconspicuous, and the others are quiet, so he doesn't pay attention to it.

And the other one was Ling Jie.Unlike Tong You, who was easygoing and easygoing, Ling Jie seemed to be putting on a show.

In this noisy environment right now, not to mention studying, even sitting still feels a headache.But Ling Jie was concentrating on writing an essay.

As if completely immersed in it, Ling Jie's expression was very focused, and there was a confident smile on the corner of his lips.

This was when the young man was in high spirits, coupled with his calm appearance, he unknowingly attracted the attention of others.

"This kind of question can be solved in this way, Xuexiong Ling is really knowledgeable." Some people looked at what Ling Jie wrote and couldn't help being amazed loudly.Then, soon the eyes of other people also gathered.

"As expected of a student of a famous teacher, his writing skills and vision are exceptionally detached."

"No, no, the most wonderful thing is the wording. It's as ingenious as it is crafted, and it's a masterpiece."

For a moment, everyone praised each other, and Ling Jie was surrounded by the prison students like stars holding the moon.

However, Ling Jie didn't get carried away with complacency, instead he gently persuaded: "It's just a kid's frivolous words, you guys are the real talents. I have heard the discussion just now, and I have benefited a lot. It's just... ..."

Ling Jie paused: "After all, Piyong Palace is the Academy of the Son of Heaven. It is always inappropriate to speak so loudly, and it is also degrading. It is better for everyone to unify the topic and write their own writing methods on paper to exchange with each other. Some people feel that the tone is contradictory. , can also be written below. This way we can kill time, and we won’t be too noisy, and we won’t give Mr. Zhang a bad impression. After all, I heard from the teacher before I came that Mr. Zhang always likes to be quiet.”

Ling Jie's words calmed down all the impetuous beings.At the same time, it also invisibly increased its own prestige.

The teacher Ling Jie worshiped was originally Zhang Zian's disciple, but now the teacher is his ancestor who is teaching the class. For a while, he had the intention of becoming the number one student.

Seeing this situation, several prison students who were originally sitting next to Tong You got up and changed their seats one after another. Even if they squeezed with other people, they were unwilling to sit beside him.In this way, it seems that Tong You is particularly out of gregarious.

Seeing this, Ling Jie also glanced at Tong You from a distance, but although his eyes were full of disdain, he was not as provocative as in the past.

Because Ling Jie has been well educated by the elders of Ling's family during these days, he considers himself to be porcelain, while Tong You is just a special-looking crock.

He holds power in his hands and comes from a family. He only needs to rely on his status, and a countryman like Tong You will never be able to get past him.There is no need to use your own body to touch it head-on, it will lose style instead.

Ling Jie's cleverness also fell into Tong You's eyes.However, not only did he not care, he also felt extremely stupid.

Quiet eyes glanced at the scroll in his hand carelessly, and Tong You carefully considered the plan again in his heart.

Today is the best opportunity, he must not miss it.As for Ling Jie, although the Ling family had already made perfect arrangements, it was a pity that in some occasions, power and status could not represent everything.

Right now, he will teach Ling Jie this obvious truth well.

After the bell rang three times, Zhang Zian finally walked in with his attendants.And the two disciples who accompanied him, one of them was Ling Jie's teacher.

Standing on the podium, Zhang Zian didn't start talking immediately, but first looked around with his eyes.When he saw Tong You, there was a flash of displeasure in his eyes.

Before coming here, he had asked his student Tong You about who he was, but he heard that he was extremely arrogant and arrogant.Originally, Zhang Zian didn't believe it, but after checking the Guozijian school case, he found that Tong You hadn't attended a single class, so he immediately lost his favor.Seeing his indifferent appearance today, I feel even more disgusted in my heart.

At the same time, Ling Jie's calm demeanor was in stark contrast to Tong You's.Thinking of the way Ling Jie saw before entering the door to calm the excited emotions of the prison students, Zhang Zian nodded involuntarily, feeling that Ling Jie was indeed a good person.

His biased attitude is too obvious, and the supervisors who can sit here are all smart people, which alienates Tong You even more.Ling Jie was secretly happy, but Tong You was playing with the pen in his hand, not paying attention at all.

With limited time, Zhang Zian's lecture finally started.As expected of the Crown Prince and Grand Tutor, Zhang Zian has extremely profound attainments in Confucianism, but a few words can be thought-provoking.All the students were fascinated by what they heard, and Ling Jie, who was sitting in the front row, nodded frequently, expressing their agreement.

Seeing that he was listening seriously, Zhang Zian also found it very interesting, so he deliberately picked a few questions to ask Ling Jie.However, Ling Jie's answer surprised him.Although it is not perfect, the idea of ​​solving the problem is very ingenious and refreshing.As for those deficiencies, they are flawless, but because Ling Jie lacks experience, in the future, they can be perfected after proper polishing.

"Okay, okay, Ji Qing has taken in a good apprentice!" Zhang Zian patted Ling Jie on the shoulder and smiled at Fan Jiqing.

"It's all thanks to the teacher." While humbled, Fan Jiqing gave Ling Jie a satisfied look.

As for the other supervisors, they were even more envious.This is the Prince Taifu, if he can catch his eyes, the future will be boundless.Moreover, they looked at Tong You with gloating looks, after all, he had offended Zhang Zian from the beginning.

But Tong You remained calm, he was waiting for an opportunity.And this opportunity will change immediately.

Time passed quickly, the chiming bell rang again, and Zhang Zian's lecture was about to end.According to the rules, he stayed after class to study carefully and asked the students to write a policy theory.

Everyone present can write policy theory, but this topic is a bit more subtle, and it has something to do with merchants.

Now Da'an, Haiqing, Heyan, and trade are prosperous, so the status of merchants is no longer humbled by the status of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen.What's more, clinging to the powerful and being closely linked with the aristocratic family, the status has become detached.

The aristocratic families obtained financial resources due to the tribute from the merchants, and maintained a glamorous life. At the same time, these merchants who were vassals of the aristocratic families enjoyed the preferential treatment of the aristocratic families, and their taxes were also greatly reduced.

However, if the aristocratic family grows bigger, it must be the imperial power that will be damaged.But now there are many officials and scholars who come from aristocratic families.

Even if it is a humble scholar with a high position, he will definitely worship a famous teacher, and after a while, he still cannot be separated from the aristocratic family.

Therefore, even though the imperial power is stable and the army is in hand, the current Holy Majesty still finds it very difficult to face the complex and well-connected families who control famous business families.

Therefore, although the topic is simple, it cannot be done easily. Once something goes wrong, it will be beyond redemption.One must know that Zhang Zian was the prince and grand tutor of the current dynasty, but at the same time he also came from a poor family and was not a child of an aristocratic family.

Is it an unintentional question, or is it a temptation of the Sacred Heart?

Sweat was dripping from the brows of the smart people in the arena, and even Ling Jie, who knew the problem through Fan Jiqing in advance, was extremely nervous because of the too condensed atmosphere in the hall.As for those who are not sensitive enough to politics, they scratch their heads and scratch their heads because they don't know how to answer the general questions.

There was only one person who didn't seem to be bothered at all, and wrote directly on the paper without even typing the draft.

It was Tong You.

This must be self-defeating and ready to talk nonsense.Everyone around guessed so.Even Zhang Zian thought so in his heart.Originally, he was disliked by Tong You's temper, but now that he was so careless, he just wanted to get someone to kick him out.On such a solemn occasion as Piyong Hall, how could he be allowed to act recklessly.

However, before calling someone, he hesitated a little more.Because he remembered that before he came, the prince Jinshi seemed to have mentioned that His Royal Highness was very interested in a young scholar recently, and that was Tong You.

Thinking about it since then, Zhang Zian was concerned about His Highness the Crown Prince's temperament that has become increasingly unpredictable in recent years, and decided not to act rashly for the time being.But he couldn't help but walk up to Tong You, wanting to see what else he would write.And he made up his mind that if he didn't know what to say, he would personally drive Tong You out of the Imperial Prison.

Ling Jie carefully observed Zhang Zian's expression, guessing that he probably hated Tong You to the extreme, and felt even happier.At the same time, I am looking forward to the scene where Tong You is kicked out.

That must be very pleasing.He couldn't wait to see Tong You's miserable state after suffering all kinds of humiliation!

On the other side, Zhang Zian was standing in front of Tong You's desk, but after glancing at the title, his eyes widened involuntarily.As for the specific content written on the following paper, he couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air...

The author has something to say: Ling's family: I won't just take it with a dog so easily! ╭(╯^╰)╮
