As the voice fell, a white-bearded and white-robed old man with a clear face appeared inside the gate.
The old man's face is kind and amiable. Although he is not a practitioner, he has a meaning of being close to the way of heaven, which makes people feel good.
Moreover, the old man has the ultimate refined and elegant aura, and every move is in harmony with the way of heaven, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
It was the first time that Long Chen saw such a person, and he couldn't help but admire him, and clenched his fists slightly:
"Boy Long Chen has seen the senior, I don't know what the senior is called?"
"Your Excellency, you are very polite, you never dare to be a senior, there is no limit to learning, and the master is the teacher.
Your knowledge is more advanced and extensive than anyone in our Confucius Institute, which is beyond our reach.
The old man is ashamed, and Tian is one of the three masters of the Master's Court. "The old man performed a scholar's etiquette.
"Senior is modest and courteous, his eyes are pure like water, calm and waveless, bright as a mirror, Long Chen admires it very much.
Unlike that Master Sun, what kind of public knowledge is there? As if he didn't know anything in the world, he was arrogant and annoying.
Before I came here, I always thought that the Confucius Courtyard was full of smog from top to bottom. Now it seems that I, Long Chen, are superficial and shouldn't knock over a boat of people with one shot. "Long Chen said.
"Your Excellency the imperial envoy is wrong, the old man is incompetent, the master's courtyard is smoky, and the style of writing is not correct, the old man has an inescapable responsibility.
Suzaku treats the Confucius Court so generously, with far-reaching intentions, so-called using bronze as a mirror, you can correct your clothes; using history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; using people as a mirror, you can understand the gains and losses.
Suzaku treats the Confucius Court favorably, taking martial arts as a mirror and literature as a mirror.
Learn from the mind and understand the spirit, know the principles of literature, in order to seek the right but not the evil, to be enlightened but not confused, and to be pure and not stained.
The Confucius Court is a mirror for Suzaku practitioners, but now this mirror has too many stains and too much dust, so it is not the mirror that Suzaku wants. "The old man couldn't help sighing.
Long Chen suddenly understood, this old man of feelings understands everything, it seems that everything is not as simple as it appears on the surface
"There is a stain on the mirror, then the stain on the mirror should be cleaned up, don't you think?" Long Chen smiled.
"Of course, I just don't know, what degree of cleanliness does the adult mean?" The old man asked rhetorically.
"Of course it's spotless." Long Chen said without hesitation.
"But what about after it's spotless? A mirror is a mirror after all. As long as you use it, it will eventually get dusty." The old man said tentatively.
Long Chen looked at the old man and said, "Only after I wiped it clean, did I know that this mirror is still the original mirror.
What Suzaku wants is a mirror, a mirror that can look at people. If the mirror itself is fine and the dust is removed, it can be used as it is.
If the mirror has been corroded by stains and cannot be saved by wiping, then I believe that Suzaku should consider changing the mirror, what do you think? "Long Chen looked at the old man and said.
The old man looked a little sadly and said: "Can't you give them some opportunities? People are not sages, how can they be flawless?"
"I'm sorry, the opportunity is not given by others, but fought for by myself. Your Majesty knows better than anyone what the Master's Court has done over the years.
I believe you are well aware, senior, that there are national laws and family rules. This time, the mistakes they made must be borne by themselves.
However, if the mirror is still the same mirror, I will consider wiping the front of the mirror and covering it with a cloth, which is my biggest concession. "Long Chen's face is serious and authentic.
Long Chen knew that the Confucius Court had aroused the dissatisfaction of the empire over the years, but the empire had been forbearing them.
The forbearance of the empire has made this group of pretentious scholars more and more lawless.
Criticizing the government, ridiculing warriors, commenting on the colleagues of the authorities, and licking dogs in other countries, Long Chen knows without thinking that there must be spies in the Confucius Court who have been bought by other countries, deliberately inciting hatred and interfering with the development of the empire.
At first, Long Chen didn't understand why the Suzaku Empire would tolerate such a group of idiots, but after this state banquet, Long Chen understood that feelings are all for others to see.
The Suzaku Empire has endured for so many years, and finally no longer bears it, and begins to show its fangs, and the first step of Suzaku's outbreak is to clean up this group of idiots who don't know how high the sky is.
Long Chen promised to give the Confucius Court a fig leaf, meaning to let the Confucius Court do it by itself. If Long Chen did it, then the Confucius Court would no longer need to exist.
The old man pondered for a long time, Long Chen did not speak, stood here expressionlessly, waiting for the old man to say a word, after a long while, the old man sighed helplessly:
"If Lao Qin sent the Lord to reply to His Majesty, the Master's Court will clean itself and give His Majesty a satisfactory answer."
Long Chen nodded, turned around and left without saying anything. He knew that Yu Xiaoyun sent him here to prevent the old man from making a mess with him. Long Chen came and didn't give him any room for bargaining.
To put it bluntly, this bad guy Long Chen did it. After this incident, the Confucius Court is still the Confucius Courtyard, and His Majesty is still the Majesty of the Holy Spirit. Even if the work is not human, he will let Long Chen do it.
Long Chen had just left the Confucius Courtyard, and a piece of news that shocked the entire Suzaku Empire came: the Confucius Court began to conduct an internal investigation, and even Master Sun was implicated and put in a cell.
At the same time, what shocked countless people was that most of the students in the Confucius Institute had acts of collaborating with the enemy and treason, accepting bribes from the empire, spreading negative remarks, and shaking the foundation of the empire.
The most unbelievable thing is that almost 90% of the Hanlin students in the Hanlin Academy, the highest academy under the Confucius Institute, came in through relationships and for favoritism.
The white fat Hanlin bachelor who had a conflict with Long Chen at the time was caught as a model, tortured and interrogated, and a series of behind-the-scenes masterminds were caught.
And this time, the disciples of the Confucius Institute made a mistake, and instead of using the rules of the Confucius Institute, they used imperial laws to send sentences.
As a result, on the execution ground, countless scholars cried and wailed bitterly, and the scholars who were once glorious were executed mercilessly.
In addition to the scholars who cooperated with the enemy and betrayed the country, many scholars are not clean behind their backs, and the literati are light on each other and frame each other, which is even more thrilling and more sinister and dark than the life-and-death struggle of the warriors.
Some people even poisoned the other party's entire family in order to capture a concubine. Just because of a verbal conflict, they pretended to be public and private, conspired to frame them, and used their power to kill the other party.
When all kinds of shady methods were announced, even the practitioners felt their scalps tingle. This group of people is too cruel. The blood-stained knife is not scary. knife.
Executions were carried out on the execution ground for seven days and seven nights in a row. Hundreds of thousands of scholars were killed, and millions of scholars were exiled to the wild. Although they did not die for their crimes, according to the punishment of the common people, after being exiled, they were unable to survive at all. No difference.
Only some people with lighter sentences were put in prison. The great purge of the Master's Court wiped out 90% of the scholars in an instant. This event shocked the entire Suzaku Empire and was also recorded in the annals of history.
And it is recorded in the annals of history that this bloody clean-up was caused from start to finish by a man in black called Long Chen. When Long Chen got this news, he almost vomited blood. Is such a big black pot for Lao Tzu to bear
Just when Long Chen was about to find the emperor's theory, the emperor took the initiative to issue an imperial decree to invite Long Chen into the palace.
