Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

Then he pulled Di Renjie forward to salute the emperor.

Di Renjie said respectfully: "My younger brother was too exhausted in the scientific examination, so he was recuperating at the master's house, but later he heard rumors all over the city against him. The child was overwhelmed and frightened, so he couldn't go to the hall to explain. As a student Eldest brother, I am willing to accept all criticisms on behalf of my younger brother."

Okay, this kid speaks with reason and evidence, neither humble nor overbearing, very good, Li Er appreciates it very much.

But the people who came to make trouble didn't recognize it and ignored the baby. Instead, they questioned Du Shaoqing: "My lord, the examinee Didi is also your student, right? How do you explain such a scandal?"

Du Shaoqing looked at everyone mockingly, and said calmly: "Di Di is not my student, but the younger brother of the villain.

Of course, although he has nothing to do with me, I have opinions on this matter. Let’s not talk about whether there is any other reason for him to sleep in the examination room, but just talk about the attitude of the government and the opposition afterwards. Don’t you know that he is just a nine-year-old child?

It's difficult to talk to a nine-year-old child, and you are defending the dignity of Confucianism. You can ask yourself, are you really so clean?Isn't it an excuse to make trouble? "

A group of people were so questioned by Du Shaoqing that they were speechless. No one knew right from wrong, black and white. In fact, everyone knew it clearly, but it was imperative that they had different purposes.

So someone stood up and retorted righteously: "Why is the son-in-law judging us for no reason? If you talk about things, you don't care about your heart. It is because the people in Chang'an City are full of anger that we have no choice but to stand up for justice and protect the face of sages." You and I are the responsibilities of scholars.

If you don't show up at this time, how will people in the world think of me and other scholars? "

"That's right, let people know that our students don't look down on learning, so do you want others to look up to you?" Someone echoed.

Du Shaoqing asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, how do you deal with this matter?"

Li Er evaded and said: "You are the person who created the test questions, and you have a relationship with Didi here. It is not difficult to deal with it, as long as both of you can accept it, so you can discuss a plan."

The opposing party immediately said: "Your Majesty, such a disaster must be severely punished, but since he is only nine years old, he will not be bullied, as long as he is revoked from the scientific examination in the future.

This is also a good warning to the latecomers, following the inheritance of the predecessors, they must have a heart of awe, how dare they be presumptuous! "

"What? In this way, wouldn't the future of this child be ruined?" Li Chengqian exclaimed.

The man said seriously, "What kind of future is there for such an immoral urchin? It's a blessing not to be a disaster in a mediocre life."

Looking at the faces of these people, Di Renjie couldn't help being extremely annoyed, his fists creaking.

Du Shaoqing put his hand on his apprentice's shoulder, walked up and said with a smile: "I don't know if you have seen that child, but why do you conclude that he does not practice morality? Is it just based on hearsay?"

"Public grievances are everywhere, how can it be groundless?"

Du Shaoqing waved his hands and said: "It's still a bit far-fetched, Your Majesty, Xiao Didi was frightened and couldn't come here, but it was in the examination room at that time, and there were other people present, and there were many people who saw it with his own eyes. Why don't you ask the invigilator at that time to tell about it?" The truth?"

"Oh? Little Didi was frightened? Is it serious?" Li Er actually cared about this first, which made everyone feel surprised. Hearing this tone, it seems that His Majesty is particularly concerned about this troublesome student?There will be no personal affair, right?

Du Shaoqing smiled slightly to show that nothing happened, changed the subject, and insisted on inviting the invigilator to go to the hall.

Li Er sent someone to pass it on, and after a while, the two men were ordered to come, and one of them was holding a rectangular brocade box with a seal on it.

One of them is Xiaoxuanxuan's actual invigilator, and the other is the chief invigilator, who was the teacher he recognized at that time. This person's surname is Wang, and he is currently a fourth-rank junior minister.

First, the invigilator described the situation at that time in detail, without any embellishment, but sleeping is a fact, so the opponents must make use of it.

Then the invigilator stood up and explained: "Your Majesty, fellow colleagues, I saw that child in the examination room at that time. He was only nine years old. Judging from his situation, it was indeed an unintentional mistake. After all, children's physical strength and energy are not as good as adults. It is understandable." .

So he was sentenced to hand in the paper early and please leave the examination room, which must have served as a warning to the child. "

A middle-aged man with a gloomy face stood up and retorted: "No, Wang Siye, I heard that you seem to have an old relationship with that child, or you brought the child into the venue yourself, and talked and laughed Yan Yan was very kind, how do you do this?" Did not say?

In addition, you said that it played a warning role, but it may not be true. Many people saw it with their own eyes at the entrance of the examination room. The child shouted arrogantly and said that he would sleep in the next test. How can this be explained? "

This this

"No way, it should be the common people spreading rumors that the child is quite a doll, how could it be like this? I don't believe it." Wang Siye insisted, his mouth was tough, but he was complaining in his heart, thinking that the little princess didn't know how to restrain herself. ?Isn't this adding to the disaster?

How did he know that at the entrance of the examination room, Xiao Xuanxuan was also forced to get angry, and said carelessly in a hurry.

"If you don't believe me, you can call the witnesses at that time and ask them, Your Majesty"

Just when the man stood up and wanted to make use of the problem to expand the results of the battle, Du Shaoqing stopped him and interrupted him.

"You don't agree with the child's lack of energy?"

The man said disdainfully: "Lack of energy? Who knows if it's an excuse?

If you're low on energy, don't take the scientific examination. Signing up at the age of nine is just adding to the chaos. Why not wait until you're older? "

Du Shaoqing patted his apprentice Di Renjie, and the latter stood up knowingly and said loudly: "Elders, student Di Renjie, I also took part in the scientific examination that day, and I felt exhausted during the examination, so I handed in the papers early after finishing the examination papers, and returned home Just sleeping with my head covered, I can confirm that my younger brother is really out of energy."

you?hehe

The man gave such an attitude, obviously he didn't bother to pay attention to Di Renjie, but since he was Du Shaoqing's direct disciple, that man didn't dare to offend Du Shaoqing too much.

Du Shaoqing said leisurely: "Since you don't agree with this statement, then I don't like to explain more.

Let's talk about accountability. You say that kid Didi disrespects the sages. Why did you say that?In your eyes, what is reverence for the sages? "

"of course

Well, the son-in-law is very knowledgeable, what is your best opinion? "The man was about to answer, but he was afraid of being caught in a trap, so he asked Du Shaoqing back.

Di Renjie couldn't help laughing secretly when he saw this situation, a mob was so frightened that they only cared about a single question, so why ask questions?

Du Shaoqing stretched out two fingers, "I have two methods here, one of which is to pray and worship the saints of the Tao every day, and pray for them to bless the prosperity of the Tao. I wonder if this counts?"

"Of course, praying and worshiping the sages sincerely reflects the awe of the younger generation." Many people echoed.

Di Renjie hurriedly said: "Every year, I take my younger brother to sincerely kowtow to Kong Sheng and burn incense to the old man. We all admire him very much, so you misunderstood."

Du Shaoqing stretched out his hand to pull the apprentice back, signaling him not to talk too much.

Li Er and the others didn't understand, what is Du Shaoqing talking about?Isn't it digging a hole?Judging by the situation of the group of people on the opposite side, maybe one foot is already in the pit.

Du Shaoqing went on to say: "Very well, then the second method is that the descendants learn the knowledge of the predecessors wholeheartedly, and carry it forward to comfort the sages. I don't know if this method counts?"

This one

Hearing this method, many people pondered and judged from a rational point of view.

But someone replied out of caution: "Inheriting academic knowledge is of course a way of comforting the sages, but the premise is not to be disrespectful to the sages. If you don't have a sage in your heart, but use the knowledge of the sages, this is theft. Such people are hateful and shameful!"

Oh

Du Shaoqing made a long sound, thinking that this old boy is not confused.

"Is the inheritance of sages just the use of words? Rather than the connotation of their thoughts?

Cultivating morality and abiding by etiquette is the inheritance. If there is no such thing, what kind of person is he, no matter how gorgeous the rhetoric is? "

That Wang Siye echoed loudly: "That's right, the son-in-law's words are true, what we learn is the thoughts of the sages and the grand ambition of helping the world, not the trivial details."
