Chapter 1029 Ying Chengjiao: The Scholars Abandoned Qin? There Is Such a Good Thing! Of Course I Forgive Him!
Seeing Ying Chengyu enter, all the scholars stood up and raised their hands: "I have seen Lord Chang'an!"
And Ying Fusu, who was questioned by the group of scholars until his scalp went numb, quickly stood up like a little yellow chicken facing an eagle and ran to Ying Chengyu and bowed his hands: "I've met my uncle!"
Then Ying Fusu subconsciously stood behind Ying Chengyu, tilted his body slightly, and stuck his head out of Ying Chengyu's arm to look at the group of scholars.
Kong Yu's face changed slightly when he saw this, and he smiled warmly and said, "I have heard for a long time that Young Master Fu Su has a great talent. Although he is not a young man, he already has the appearance of a gentleman. He is also well-read and has a lot of intelligence."
"After a long conversation today, Kong will know that people in the world are sincere and will not deceive me!"
"While sitting and talking with Young Master Fusu, Kong almost forgot that Young Master Fusu was still a child, and thought he was discussing Taoism with a great Confucian!"
Kong Yu had a righteous look on his face, but everyone could see Kong Yu's concession and flattery to Ying Chengyu.
After what Kong Yu said, what they just did was not bullying a childish child, but because Ying Fusu was so outstanding that they regarded him as an equal and a great scholar!
Kong Yu's words not only defused their recent attack on Ying Fusu, but also made Ying Fusu's status in the scholarly community soar!
Ying Chengyu was unreasonable and nodded slightly: "Thank you very much, Kong Ziyu, for this compliment."
After accepting the apology, Ying Chengyu changed the subject: "I just heard what the soldiers said, and you would like to advise me."
"Of course, there are many pillars of Great Qin waiting for their results outside the city gate."
"I will have a long talk with you after I have finished my official duties."
Ying Chengyu felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.
In future generations, who would dare to stop the examiner for a long chat before the results of the national examination are released?
The faces of the Confucians changed slightly when they heard this.
They also knew something about the candidates who participated in the civil service examination, and naturally knew that they were just a group of young men from rich families or children of common people.
In terms of status, bloodline, and knowledge, those candidates are not even worthy of carrying shoes for scholars!
Now that a group of scholars came to visit him on their own initiative, Ying Chengxuan ignored them and went to deal with the candidates' affairs first?
Ying Chengyu's move would be too embarrassing for them!
Fu Sheng immediately said in a deep voice: "What we want to advise is related to the rise and fall of the Qin Dynasty!"
"Compared with what we want to advise, the division of civil servants into civil servants is nothing."
"Mr. Chang'an should listen to our advice first. Only in this way is the way to govern!"
Ying Chengyu looked at Fu Sheng: "What do you call this brother?"
Fu Sheng bowed his hands and said, "Zou Ping Fu Sheng has a humble character and has met Lord Chang'an."
After Ying Chengyu nodded briefly, he continued to ask: "Has Fu Zijian ever participated in this examination for the civil service examination?"
Fu Sheng said with a little disdain: "I have not participated in this examination of the imperial examination."
As a great scholar, how could Fu take the initiative to participate in the civil service examination in exchange for the opportunity to become an official?
Only when the King of Qin took the initiative to invite Fu to serve as an official, would Fu be willing to be used by Qin.
Ying Chengyu frowned slightly and asked again: "In that case, Fu Zigui is a local official in my country, Da Qin?"
Fu Sheng shook his head again: "Fu is not an official of Qin."
"Is it true that only Qin officials or reference candidates are qualified to advise the Lord of Chang'an?"
Facing Fu Sheng's aggressive rhetorical question, Ying Chengyu's voice became a little colder: "Everyone in the world can remonstrate with me."
"Of course! Things have priorities."
"Now, there are many heroes who are willing to be used by our Great Qin and who are willing to contribute to the people, waiting for me outside the city."
"You are neither an official of our Qin Dynasty, nor do you want to serve in the Qin Dynasty, let alone help the people."
"Even if there are thousands of ravines in your heart, what use are they to me? What use are they to Qin? What use are they to all the people?"
"Useless advice from useless people should be listened to at your leisure."
All the scholars were shocked, and then became furious.
Throughout the ages, rulers' attitude towards talented people has always been "begging". Even if the talented people do not serve in official positions, rulers will politely ask for good advice, and then repeatedly ask them to serve in official positions with large rewards.
But now, instead of treating them with courtesy, Ying Chengyu even calls them useless people!
This is not only an insult to them, but also a violation of hundreds of years of rules for seeking talents!
If the monarchs and dignitaries in the future all think like Ying Chengyu, only those who can be used by me need to be treated with courtesy, and those who cannot be used by me are useless and can be despised at will.
Then how can they move freely between the arena and the court, and be respected by all people in the world whether they are in the court or in the arena? !
Fu Sheng was furious and shouted: "Fu has heard about the reputation of Lord Chang'an for a long time, but only today did he realize that Lord Chang'an is actually a mediocre master who is proud of his world and underestimates his talent!"
"If you despise talented people like this, how do you have the right to receive our help?"
"Qin is so arrogant and cruel, his death is not far away!"
Kong Kun also frowned and said, "It's really because of Qin Si worried that we took the initiative to come to the door to admonish him."
"It doesn't matter that Lord Chang'an doesn't want to accept the advice, how can he humiliate us like this?"
"Could it be that Lord Chang'an looks down upon us Confucian scholars?"
Kong Yu asked an extremely dangerous question.
All the accompanying Confucian scholars also showed dissatisfaction.
They cannot tolerate Ying Chengyu invading their vested interests, nor can they tolerate Ying Chengyu dragging them from the high altar into the mud!
Ying Chengyu looked at Fu Sheng and others in confusion, and asked doubtfully: "Since the second and third sons are so dissatisfied with me and Da Qin, why have they done nothing?"
"If you enter, you can serve as an official and give advice; if you retreat, you can go north to the three kingdoms of Dai, Yan, and Zhao."
"If that doesn't work, you can raise an army to cause chaos and revive Qi, Chu, or Lu."
"Are the dissatisfaction of the second and third sons all trapped in the belly and hanging in the mouth?"
Ying Chengyu's attitude gave the Confucians a head-on blow.
We just said a few words to you, why do you want to drive us to Dai, Yan and Zhao? Are you even trying to instigate us to rebel? !
Kong Yu's voice became angrier, and he asked with a hidden threat: "Chang'an Lord is not afraid that all the sages in the world will flee to the north, is it unethical to help Dai, Yan, and Zhao to attack Qin?!"
Ying Chengxuan said seriously: "First of all, it's not Qin who has no way, but all the heroes in the world who have no way!"
"Our Great Qin has worked hard to govern the country and secure the people in recent years, but the heroes of the world have repeatedly invaded our Great Qin. Every time our Great Qin sends troops, it is to protect the territory and the people."
"Secondly, you are all common people, so there is no need to tell me where you are going."
"Of course, if you really want to go north, please leave as soon as possible."
"As soon as the Qi territory is transitioned from the "New District Provisional Code" to the "Qin Code", if you want to cross the border and leave the country again, you can guide the way."
The scholars were completely confused.
Can’t you understand the meaning of Confucius Yu’s words?
He is the eighth generation grandson of Confucius!
Confucius Yu left Qin and went north as the eighth grandson of Confucius, which was enough to call on many great scholars to follow Confucius Yu!
Ying Chengqiao bowed his hands without any panic on his face: "I still have official duties to attend to."
"The release of the list this time is a grand event in the literary world. If you are interested in taking a look, you can follow me."
"If you want to go north, you can leave on your own and prepare your luggage. I will not be able to send you far because of my official duties."
After saying this, Ying Chengyu no longer lingered, turned around and left under the different gazes of the scholars!
When Ying Chengyu walked out of the palace, Fu Sheng shouted angrily: "The Lord of Chang'an is not afraid that Qin will lose its Confucian scholars and the enemy will gain them, so that Qin will perish here!"
Shusun Tong said quietly: "Chang'an Lord, I think you have nothing to fear."
"After all, the state of Qi, which is home to scholars like you and me, has died at the hands of Lord Chang'an."
"The battle to destroy Qi was the easiest battle to destroy the country for Lord Chang'an. When I think about this battle later, I often wonder whether Lord Chang'an actually had no intention of destroying Qi at that time."
"I just saw a hint of expectation in Lord Chang'an's eyes."
Shu Suntong's words were like a dagger that penetrated deeply into the hearts of the Confucian scholars!
We are great Confucians with a far-reaching reputation and respected by the world!
In the past, even the old Qi Wang Jian, the capital officials and other high-ranking officials should treat us with courtesy when they saw us. However, a gentleman like Prince Dan of Yan, who was as courteous and virtuous as a corporal, would even kneel on the ground and kowtow, just asking us to do something for him. used.
How come that when we arrived at Lord Chang'an, not only did we not receive any courtesy, but we were treated like trash and bedbugs, who wished we could be sent away to defect to the enemy's country?
However, when they think about how ridiculous the demise of the Qi State with a group of great scholars like them is, it is difficult for them to say anything to argue.
Fu Sheng shouted angrily: "I will repay you for today's humiliation!"
"It is said that the king is a wise king. He has long been known as a courteous and virtuous man. In recent years, he has spent a lot of money to seek talents."
"You are willing to go north with me and join the acting king, and follow the example of Wu Zixu in the past to avenge today's humiliation?!"
Qunru:? ? ?
You want us to help Dai win over Qin?
Are we worthy?
The self-knowledge of the Confucian scholars prompted them not to answer, but to remain in ambush.
Fortunately, Ying Fusu, who had deliberately stayed behind, spoke: "You great scholars, please calm down your anger first."
"My father once commented that my uncle was not good at governing."
"My uncle also claims that he has no knowledge of government affairs."
"My uncle just now thought that the advice of the great scholars was related to government affairs, so naturally the advice of the great scholars was of no use to my uncle. Instead, he became the king of remonstrances."
"You have never participated in the imperial examination, so naturally you are of no use to your uncles, but to your father."
"If my uncle had known that the advice of the great scholars was related to the subject of the civil examination, he would definitely not be like this."
"My uncle has worked hard for a long time and has a bad attitude. I hope all the great scholars will forgive me."
Regardless of how credible Ying Fusu's words are, it is a comfortable path after all.
Fu Sheng immediately got off the donkey along the slope and snorted coldly: "Since Mr. Fu Su is speaking for the Lord of Chang'an, Fu is not a careless person."
Kong Kun also forced a smile and nodded: "Chang'an Jun has been reviewing rough volumes day and night, and it is understandable that he is mentally exhausted."
“No one is perfect, and a gentleman is not always a gentleman.”
"This is all a trivial matter."
Although Kong Yu was extremely angry, what could Kong Yu do?
The only thing I can do is forgive Ying Chengyu!
Ying Fusu cupped his hands and saluted again: "Thank you, great scholars, for your understanding."
"I would like to ask all you great scholars to accompany me to the city gate first."
"After my uncle is busy with government affairs, he will listen carefully to your advice."
Fu Sheng frowned and said: "When the gold list is posted and the ranking is determined, even if Lord Chang'an agrees with our advice, it will be difficult to change the ranking, otherwise it will definitely shake the court's trust."
"What's the use of our admonition?"
"Please help Mr. Su to lead the way quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Sheng couldn't wait to run out!
