Chapter 1927
Chapter 1927 I'm a professional, I can't laugh.
Li Er sat behind his desk with a serious look on his face, not angry or intimidating.
Compared with when he usually meets Li Yuan, he looks shameless and shameless, and he is completely different from the other two.
"Three beloved ladies throughout their lives."
Li Er said to Li Qingzhao and the others.
His voice was loud and powerful, full of majesty.
Everyone in the imperial study did not dare to express their anger.
"Thank you, my emperor. Li
Qingzhao, Cai Wenji, and Zhuo Wenjun returned the greeting.
After Li Er and the others stood up straight, they asked expressionlessly:
"You three dear friends, do you know that I have specially summoned you today for what reason?"
Although Cai Wenji guessed the reason, she pretended to be confused and said:
"I don’t know, so please let your Majesty make it clear."
Li Er picked up"Whispering" on the table, raised it to the three of them, and asked:
"You should know this book, right? Zhuo
Wenjun said, neither humble nor arrogant:
"Returning to Your Majesty, Wei Chen knows and is very familiar with it. This book"The Whispering Language" was published by the bookstore of the three of us. Li
Qingzhao said with emotion:
"Unexpectedly, even His Majesty was reading this book, and Wei Chen felt deeply honored."
Zhu Xi and Dong Zhongshu on the side saw Li Qingzhao's proud expression and couldn't help but twitch their corners slightly, looking aggrieved.
You still think this is a compliment!
Zhu Xi couldn't help but refute:
"What is your Majesty's status? How can you read these nonsense? Don't put gold on your face. Dong
Zhongshu said:
"This book is a gift from us to His Majesty."
Cai Wenji showed a look of surprise and said:
"It turns out that this book was recommended to the emperor by you, but I didn’t expect that you are also reading this book. I wonder what you think after reading this book? Everyone can communicate and discuss it."
Zhu Xi and Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but feel the urge to vomit blood when they saw that Cai Wenji asked them what they thought and discussed"The Whispering Language" with them.
They could only be angry at such fallacies and heresies that blasphemed saints and Confucianism. Thoughts?
They understood that Cai Wenji was deliberately watching their jokes.
Zhu Xi said angrily:
"Don't pretend to be confused in front of the Holy One. This book is full of lies and heresies. It will only taint your eyes. Who is willing to communicate with you? Li
Qingzhao said with a cold face:
"Mr. Zhu, I don’t like hearing what you say. Once this book was released, it was well received and even sold out several times, which shows that the public loves this book very much. You said this book has polluted your eyes. Are your eyes cleaner than those of us Chang'an people?"
Zhu Xi was immediately struck red by Li Qingzhao, and his beard was trembling.
He was about to argue with Li Qingzhao, but at this moment, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly said:
"How unbecoming it is to quarrel in front of the Holy One! Do you still take the Holy One seriously?"
Zhu Xi, Li Qingzhao was shocked when he heard this, and immediately had to keep silent.
When Li Er saw this, he opened his mouth and continued:
"Wu Fu, Shangguan Wan'er, Zhu Xi, and Dong Zhongshu, four of their beloved ministers, jointly submitted a letter, saying that by publishing this book,"The Whispering Language", you are deceiving the public and slandering the Holy Word, and asked me to order a ban on the publication and circulation of this book. The three of you Is there anything you want to say? Li
Qingzhao quickly denied:
"I also ask Your Majesty to tell you clearly that I have never deceived the public with evil words, nor have I slandered the Holy Word."
Cai Wenji and Zhuo Wenjun also said in unison:
"Please give your Majesty a clear warning. Seeing Li Qingzhao and the others denying it, Dong Zhongshu could not help but refute:
"The facts are before your eyes, and you still dare to quibble? Do you still want to fool the Holy One? Zhu
Xi sneered.:
"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and you are able to make clear decisions. How can you fool me? Cai
Wenji said calmly:
"We did not quibble, nor did we fool the Holy One. But just telling the truth. Li
Qingzhao looked at Zhu Xi and Dong Zhongshu and sneered:
"It’s impossible for you to say that we are guilty and we are guilty, right? Zhuo
Wenjun criticized Dong Zhongshu and Zhu Xi unceremoniously:
"Dong Zhongshu, Zhu Xi, you deliberately found some unfounded charges to put on us. What are your intentions? Li
Qingzhao clasped his fists at Li Er with an angry face and said:
"Your Majesty, I want to sue Dong Zhongshu and Zhu Xi for deliberately causing trouble, slandering Zhongliang, and joining the party and opposing dissenters. Please give your Majesty a clear judgment. Dong
Zhongshu also quickly said to Li Er:
"Your Majesty, I want to sue Li Qingzhao, Cai Wenji, and Zhuo Wenjun for their monstrous words to confuse the public, slander the holy words, and deceive the emperor."
Wu Fu and Shangguan Wan'er on the side stood calmly, watching the argument between the two parties coldly, as if they were staying out of the matter and did not participate in the bickering between the two sides.
Li Er frowned, a little dissatisfied. road:
"One of you says that the other party is making lies to confuse the public, and the other accuses the other party of being partisan and opposed to dissidents. You must always present facts, reason, and provide evidence. Is this what a minister can do just to talk nonsense?"
Li Eryi became angry, and everything in the royal study suddenly became quiet.
After a pause, Dong Zhongshu said:
"The"Wangyu" in His Majesty's hand is the evidence. The Analects of Confucius was originally a sage's teaching on how to govern the country and the people, but it was translated by Li Qingzhao and others into fighting and advocating violent thoughts, which is really treasonous. Zhuo
Wenjun retorted:
"As the saying goes, one kind of rice can feed all kinds of people. Mr. Dong, you can't let everyone understand"The Analects" according to your meaning, right? This"The Analects of Confucius" is just other people's understanding of the Analects, purely everyone's opinion. Mr. Dong can't punish others just because their understanding is different from yours, right? Your Majesty is not guilty of speech. How can Mr. Dong be so domineering?"
"you……"Dong Zhongshu was scolded by Zhuo Wenjun, and his face turned red.
He was about to retort, but at this moment, Cai Wenji spoke again:
"Doesn’t Mr. Dong always say that if three people are walking together, there must be me as their teacher? If Mr. Dong puts aside his prejudices and studies the ideas in"The Whispering Language" with an open mind, he might gain something from it."
Pfft!
Dong Zhongshu was so angry that he almost vomited out a liter of old blood.
He was actually asked to learn the thoughts of"The Whispering Language"?
Fortunately, Cai Wenji could think of it. How could I, a great Confucian scholar, learn such fallacies?
Zhu Xi saw Dong Zhongshu Being so angry that he couldn't speak, he quickly helped Dong Zhongshu and accused Cai Wenji:
