Chapter 246 The Sadness of Scholars Shocked the Whole Country
There were screams from under the ruins. The Confucian Temple collapsed suddenly, and the crowd was crowded. There was nowhere to run, and many people were crushed underneath.
After a brief moment of shock, the people around rushed to dig, and if they could save one, it was only one.
The soil on the wall was stained with blood, and the more they dug, the more their hands trembled.
All of them were bloody and bloody, with a lot of air coming out and less air in, and they couldn't be saved at first sight.
"Huanji, go, you go to the mansion and invite Doctor Xun and the others, Niu Zhuang, go and invite the doctor from Jian'an, hurry up!" Li Yi growled.
If the number of people is not dense, there are only a dozen at most, but if they are gathered together, there is almost no doubt about hundreds of casualties.
"Your Majesty, something serious has happened!"
The eunuch crawled into the imperial study.
The emperor frowned when he saw his appearance, "It's flustered and out of place."
"Your Majesty, the Confucian Temple, the Confucian Temple has collapsed!"
"what!"
The emperor got up suddenly, and quickly walked up to the eunuch, staring at him closely, "Is there someone inside?"
"Yes, there are a lot of them, and they are under pressure." The eunuch replied tremblingly.
The emperor looked stern, "Decree, let the Xiangwu guards do their best to save people."
"Let the imperial doctor go over quickly."
"Follow Dongwei, strictly control the Ministry of Rites!"
"Ask the Ministry of Criminal Justice to conduct a thorough investigation to find out why the Confucian Temple collapsed!"
The emperor issued a series of orders.
After the person left, he slapped the table with his palm, his eyes darkened.
If this matter is not handled properly, the royal family's prestige in Chu will be greatly reduced.
The mouth of a scholar is more powerful than anything else.
The collapse of the Confucian Temple spread throughout Jian'an within a short while. Everyone was shocked. The Minister of Rituals slumped on the chair, his eyes glazed over, and he slid on the ground.
After being dumbfounded for a while, he got up and staggered out.
No, you can't sit still.
"Master, it's not good!"
"The East Guard has surrounded our house!" The servant of the Ministry of Rites shouted, holding up his trouser legs, stumbling towards the servant of the Ministry of Rites.
The Minister of Rites shook his body, he came so fast!
Feeling dizzy for a while, the Minister of Rites knelt down on the ground and passed out.
After Xiangwu Guards arrived, within half an hour, all the people who had been crushed under the rubble were dug out.
More than [-] people died and more than [-] people were seriously injured.
The scene was very chaotic, and despite the Xiangwu Guard's efforts to maintain it, the public's anger had reached an undeniable peak.
The scholars who failed to enter the Confucian Temple are all kneeling on the ground at this moment, crying and laughing, their only spiritual sustenance is also destroyed, and the sages are ashamed to stand in the world, what else do they expect.
One person untied his crown and hair, took off his Confucian shirt, and walked out barefoot slowly.
All the scholars looked at him and followed him one after another.
I have learned five chariots, and I hope that one day, I will follow the example of the sages and help the world and the people, but it turns out that it is just a falsehood.
Except for Jian'an, scholars from all over the world were silent when they heard the news.
What a scholar! Many scholars raised their heads and laughed foolishly. The Confucian Temple has collapsed, collapsed! ! Why do they study so hard?
why! ! Unwilling resentment and roar sounded everywhere.
Li Yi went back with dirt all over his body. He had seen casualties, but fighting on the battlefield was different.
For the sake of the country, he deserves to die.
But what is this? If it is artificial, so contemptuous of human life, it should be killed!
The government and the public were in turmoil, the emperor was furious, and the Ministry of Punishment, the Eastern Guard, and even the Duchasi were advancing day by day.
The sky in Jian'an is cloudy.
There seemed to be a thick smell of blood in the Xiangyu was in her bedroom, stroking the painting and weeping. In the painting, there were scholars in groups, talking and laughing, going to the Confucian Temple to worship.
Wen Mansion, Wen Heng sat withered in the courtyard of Mr. Wen, the wind rolled up his clothes, sad and lonely.
Prime Minister on the left looked solemn, and Prime Minister on the right stretched out his hand to touch the flower.
In the past few days in Jian'an, I dare not make any noise.
Feng Qi was drunk again, hugging the wine jar, crying.
He is a person who passed the imperial examination, and he knows the mood of those scholars best, for more than ten years! ! The Confucian Temple collapsed, and people died. Who will repay the grievances in their hearts.
Knocking his head on the stone table, Feng Qi passed out drunk.
Li Yi raised his head to drink, and the wine soaked the neckline along his neck. The sorrow of the literati is not the sorrow of the common people.
For those who truly have ambitions and serve the country and the people, no matter how hard they try, they will not be able to enter the hall or see the holy face.
I wasted my whole life, looking at other people's corpses and laying vegetarian meals, full of resentment, but in the end, I could only sigh desolately, what can I do?
People and officials fight, looking for death.
It's them themselves, not enough knowledge, not enough knowledge!
Let Tian Jie help Feng Qi into the house, and Li Yi went to the Ministry of Punishment.
"Master Si, I am wronged, the subordinate officials never participated in the fraud!" An official from the Ministry of Officials screamed while lying on the prison rail.
The situation was too serious. In order to appease the anger of the people, all the officials who had anything to do with scientific research were arrested and sent to the Ministry of Punishment.
The emperor told the people with his actions that I will never condone this matter. It is just a traitor who is ruining the country. I am as angry as you are.
With the interrogation by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the literati's eyes are tearing apart, and every session is never fair. In addition to the general examination, there are many tricks in the rural examination and the hospital examination.
Its involvement is so wide that the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice cannot fit it.
Li Yi walked through the prison, and there were cries of grievances everywhere.
Among them, some of them must be really wronged. After all, cheating in scientific examinations does not have enough status, so even if they want to participate, they cannot participate.
The resentment and resentment of all the scholars in Chu State was enough for the emperor to give a thorough explanation rather than kill him by mistake.
This cannot but make the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials panic.
They couldn't see Shengjia, so they could only pray to Li Yi, they were wronged, wronged! !
"My lord, there are results." Yang Feng hurried to Li Yi with a heavy expression on his face.
After the Confucian Temple collapsed, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was furious, and he vomited blood and fell into a coma. Now Li Yi is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment.
"What's the reason?" Li Yi raised his eyes.
"The foundation of the Confucian Temple is shallow, and the top is too heavy, and the pillars used to support it are wrapped with other things, and the repairs every year are not done with care."
"That day, there were too many people, so..." Yang Feng shook his head and fell silent.
"Go get someone." Li Yi said quietly.
Such things as cutting corners and materials will happen no matter where they are.
I don't know how they slept peacefully.
"My lord, the cell is already full." Yang Feng reminded Li Yi.
"Go to build a farm in the outskirts of Jian'an, and move those who are not involved in it."
"My lord, firstly, we are short of manpower, and secondly, the daily expenses are too high. The little money in the account can't last for a few days."
Li Yi frowned, "Who is greedy?"
"My lord, this is wronging people. No lord can look at the money in the account. Any bribe is higher than it."
Li Yi glanced at Yang Feng.
"My lord, this is my father-in-law's rich family." Yang Feng hugged his own fat.
"I hope so. After all, with your body, it's really hard to be jailed." Looking away, Li Yi took out a money bag.
"My lord's clear wind and solemn festival, it is really admirable."
"Go to those people's homes and ask them to pay for their meals."
