Early in the morning, with a loud crow of chickens, Qingzhou City seemed to be alive.
Some well-to-do families with their own briquette stoves come to the courtyard to cook, while those who are reluctant to pay for briquette stoves emit long smoke.
The streets of Qingzhou are also bustling. Vendors are setting up stoves on the street and selling Shaobing, fried dough sticks and bean curd to businessmen coming and going. Snack stalls along the street are full of people.
In the noise, the newsboy's voice rang as usual.
Businessmen on the street, Shizi, are used to buying today's newspapers to learn about the changes that are taking place in Dayu. After all, because of the lack of information, they seldom know what is happening outside.
"Astrology, what is it?"
The bean brain stall in front of the chamber of Commerce was full of businessmen, and the contents of the newspaper soon attracted their attention.
"The earth is round and revolves around the sun. There are nine planets in the solar system..." The young businessman read the contents of the newspaper word by word, and all the other businessmen who ate stood up and listened.
"There is no Chang'e on the moon, the shadow on the surface is just the moon sea, and there is no life on the moon..."
With the words of young businessmen, more and more people are attracted. They stop one after another, listen attentively, and open their eyes one by one.
"There are no gods on the moon? "A passer-by exclaimed.
The businessmen looked at each other. An old businessman said to the young businessman, "Han Zheng, is that really what the newspaper says?"
”I can't be wrong. I've been reading for several years, but I can still recognize it. " Han Zheng sighed, "is Qingzhou daily crazy? If there are no immortals on the moon, the sun is not golden, and there are no immortals in the sky, isn't the emperor no longer the right one? "
as soon as this remark came out, the old businessman kicked Han Zheng:" you want to die, don't you? Shut up
The elder businessman was Han Zheng's uncle. Instead of shutting up, Shan Han Zheng said, "it's clear in the newspaper that this is what he meant. It's also said that the newspaper was reviewed by the emperor. Maybe this is what the emperor meant."
The merchants were silent. After a while, one of them said, "I'm afraid something big will happen."
Everyone, you see me, I see you, no longer discuss this issue, but eat in silence and wait for its change.
Compared with the comments on the street, the Confucianists in Qingzhou City have fried the pot. A group of Confucianists rushed to a house in Qingzhou City with newspapers. "
and on the plaque on the courtyard there is a word Ge.
In the courtyard, an old man was practicing five element boxing. He looked relaxed and elegant. He didn't seem to care about the group of Confucians who came in.
Although Qingzhou university is gaining momentum in Qingzhou, a large number of Confucian students in the state of Dayu are still living in the thinking of the old times and studying hard for ten years. They are not willing to start all over again and have been seeking to resume the imperial examination.
Yu Yuankun, one of the leading Confucian scholars, looked at the old man and said, "elder Ge, what time is it now? You can still calm down. Now the emperor is going to destroy the foundation of Confucianism. If you and Mr. Cui Hao don't show up, there will be no way for thousands of Confucian students in Dayu."
The old man who was called by many Confucian scholars as Lord Ge was no other than Ge Yiren.
One year after King Zhao was expelled from Chang'an, he never received the appointment from the imperial court. It's hard to resist that he took his family to Qingzhou to explore the way. At the same time, he was welcomed by the Confucians as soon as he entered Qingzhou City because of his reputation as a great Confucianist. Therefore, he reopened the Confucian school.
"The emperor is not in a hurry. What are you in a hurry? Confucianism has been handed down for thousands of years, and Confucianism has been carried forward in the Han Dynasty. After five dynasties, it has remained unchanged. How can you understand this? If you go back for a while, I will go to the palace to persuade the emperor." Ge Yiren's eyes twinkled.
All the Confucians were excited when they heard the words. Yu Yuankun said, "I rely on elder Ge to come out."
Ge Yiren nodded and said to the housekeeper: "send the scholars back."
After a group of Confucian students left, two people came out from behind the rockery in the courtyard. They were Yu Zhiyong and Ni Kuang.
Glancing at the direction of the Confucian students' departure, Ge Yiren said, "Mr. Ge, these Confucian students have little ability, but they are noisy. If you go too close to them, you will suffer from the disaster of pond fish sooner or later."
"That's right. The emperor made such a big contribution this time. I'm afraid the three of us will never become officials if we get too close to them. "
Ge Yiren gently stroked his beard. After reading today's newspaper, he already had a problem. He said," today's matter is the opportunity for you and me to be the supreme ministers. Haven't you two seen through it yet? "
"What do you mean by that?" Yu Zhiyong and Ni Kuang face doubts.
Ge Yiren said: "today's supreme people are extraordinary. This astrology is to destroy the foundation of Confucianism, but at the same time it denies the fact that he is the son of heaven. The reason why he dares to do so lies in the fact that there is no authority and no one can shake his throne. So now it's time for Confucianism to change. If you and I can seize this opportunity, we will surely prosper, At least it's a lifetime of wealth. ""The change of Confucianism." Yu Zhiyong and Ni Kuang look at each other. As great Confucians, they know the history of Confucianism very well.
In the past dynasties, Confucianism was born as a vassal of imperial power and served as an instrument for the imperial power to govern the world. Just because of this, Confucianism can survive for thousands of years.
After Xiao Ming ascended the throne, they mistakenly thought that the Dayu Dynasty could still follow the old system, but now it seems that the emperor's accession to the throne would be like a change of dynasty.
If so, they need to think about it.
"Mr. Ge really has a long-term vision, which can't be compared with us. In this way, we should seek to see the emperor together." Ni Kuang said.
Yu Zhiyong also suddenly realized, he said: "extremely, extremely. "
" OK, then I'll ask the housekeeper to prepare the carriage. You and I will meet the emperor outside the palace together. In my opinion, the emperor is so intelligent that he will surely meet us. "
Ge Yiren said in a voice.
After that, they took a carriage and went to the palace in the south of the city.
Outside the palace, they were stopped by guards, and after a briefing, they were given permission to enter.
The three were overjoyed and followed Qian Dafu to the palace. Along the way, they looked at the facilities in the palace excitedly.
It's hard for them to be put out of the court for more than a year. Now they are secretly determined to seize this opportunity.
Following Qian Dafu, they soon came to the door of the imperial library. At this time, Qian Dafu let the three people in.
Ge Yiren arranges his clothes and enters the imperial study with Yu Zhiyong and Ni Kuang.
At this time, Xiao Ming is standing with his back to them. After they say hello, Xiao Ming slowly turns around.
