Chapter 182 (1/2)



182 Li Yuchun_1

I hope that this child is stupid and foolish, and will be a Minister without any disaster … Hiss, what a vicious mouth.

The meaning of this poem was that the poet lamented that he was too smart and had been delayed for a lifetime. If he was a stupid person, he would be able to become a public official without any trouble.

He was mocking the officials, nobles, and ministers for being brainless fools.

The surrounding officials looked at each other with strange expressions. They had come to see Minister sun make a fool of himself, but he was suddenly stabbed in the back.

Not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

“The Sang Bo case: to Minister sun …” He was mocking me for being stupid, mocking me for shooting myself in the foot … ‘He wants to nail my name on the pillar of shame …’ The name of the poem echoed in Minister sun’s mind, and his heart was filled with anger.

The most noble pursuit of scholars was to leave their names in history, which was more attractive than teaching and educating people. However, at the same time, the more they desired to leave their names in history, the more they were afraid of being infamous for thousands of years.

How could he endure this?

This was unbearable.

men, take this puppet down, take it down!!! Minister sun was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and his face was red.

Because of his unauthorized decision and attempt to kill the head of the night watchman, Xu Qi ‘an, there was a follow-up to the Sang Bo case. She was already feeling so remorseful that she wanted to flip the table. At this moment, she couldn’t stand adding insult to injury.

However, Xu Qi ‘an’s poem was not about rocks, but mountains. Even Minister sun, who was an experienced official, was shocked.

The people from the Ministry of Justice rushed up in unison, wanting to capture Xu Qi ‘an outside the Imperial City.

“Lord Sun, please calm your anger.” Wei Yuan’s calm and gentle voice stopped the angry Ministry of Justice.

The man in green walked over unhurriedly and stood in front of Xu Qi ‘an.

Wei Yuan, this man has insulted me and a Minister in public. Release him according to the law. The Minister of Justice suppressed his anger and said word by word, ”

“Today, even you can forget about protecting him.”

“Slandering the Minister is indeed a serious crime.” Wei Yuan glared at Xu Qi ‘an sternly. Just when everyone thought he was going to scold the little Gong, he looked at Minister sun and said, “”Telling the truth isn’t slander.”

“You …” Minister sun’s body shook as he pointed at Wei Yuan with a trembling finger.

Wei Yuan smiled and turned to leave. Xu Qi ‘an followed behind his father and broke away from the encirclement of the people from the Ministry of Justice.

After a few steps, he stopped and turned back to shout, “”Congratulations Minister sun, your name has spread all over the world and the scholars have become famous.”

Minister sun was stunned. A few seconds later, he could not catch his breath and passed out.

“Minister, Minister …” The people from the Ministry of Justice panicked.

…..

Back at the Yamen, Xu Qi ‘an followed Wei Yuan into the noble Qi building and served tea to Wei Yuan and the other two.

“Lord Wei, there are a few things I don’t understand.” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

Wei Yuan was a strategist and a wise man. It was better to ask questions first than to figure them out by himself. It was just like asking a teacher for help when he had a problem in school. It was both convenient and fast.

“Why does your Majesty want the Ministry of Justice to handle this case?” Wei Yuan held his teacup and smiled faintly.

“Out of all the talents in the world, Duke Wei obtained eight portions. Yun Lu Academy and I will share one portion.” Xu Qi ‘an flattered.

“Pfft …” Jiang Luzhong spurted out a mouthful of tea.

Yang Yan’s mouth twitched.

The smile on Wei Yuan’s face widened. It was obvious that he enjoyed Xu Qi ‘an’s flattery.

Scholars were like this, you praised him:F * ck, that’s awesome. Old tie, 666. He can’t be bothered with you.

However, that didn’t mean that scholars didn’t like to be flattered. They just needed to change the way they were flattered. Xu Qi ‘an’s flattery was very precise. He used the way scholars liked to flatter Wei Yuan and made him feel comfortable.

Wei Yuan was a proud scholar.

“The minister of rites is a member of the king’s party. If we hand him over to the Yamen, it will implicate a large number of king’s party members.” Wei Yuan said.

At that time, the political parties in the Imperial court would lose their balance … Emperor Yuan jing didn’t want to see one or two families dominating the court. It would hinder his control of the court, especially when he was cultivating all year round … Even if the Royal faction colluded with the demons and blew up sang Bo and the Dharma laksana of the ancestor, the ancestor was nothing compared to his power … Xu Qi ‘an analyzed and extracted the core content from Wei Yuan’s words.

As a result, his impression of Emperor Yuan jing worsened.

Emperor Yuan jing might be a skilled Emperor, but he was not a good one. The fake historian Xu Qi ‘an divided the Emperor into three ranks:A wise ruler, a mediocre ruler, and an incapable ruler.

A wise Emperor was a good Emperor who could provide the people with food and clothing.

A mediocre Emperor was an Emperor who did nothing and did not make any major mistakes. Most of the emperors in history belonged to this category. In fact, to the common people, a mediocre ruler who did not disturb the people was already a wise ruler.

A fatuous Emperor was an Emperor who favored the lowly and distanced himself from virtuous officials. He would usually cause chaos in the Imperial court and the country.

The reason why tyrants weren’t included in the list was because the first three could be tyrants.

In Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes, Emperor Yuan jing was a fatuous Emperor. Even though he was the Emperor, he only cared about his own power and status. The current chaotic situation in the court was caused by Emperor Yuan jing.

He cultivated and paid no attention to the state affairs, so he needed the chaotic state of the Imperial court to stabilize his position. Otherwise, it would be easy for him to become a mere figurehead.

“There’s one more thing, I don’t understand why the minister of rites didn’t kill Zhou chixiong.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

He had thought that the night watchman would come to interrogate the minister of rites, but he didn’t expect Emperor Yuan jing to be so showy.
