It was silent all night, but it disturbed the entire capital. From the three departments and six departments to the military patrol and government offices, officials at all levels were alarmed in the middle of the night. Today, the emperor's assassination of major events, for a while, disturbed the ruthlessness. Many ministers entered the palace to pay their respects, but were blocked from the palace by Ye Yu's decree. The last thing Ye Yu wanted to see at this time was this group of civil and military ministers. In the imperial study room, Ye Yu sat on the dragon chair and bent his head to write on the desk. He wrote a few words on a piece of square-inch paper, then moved the faucet on the left armrest and threw the paper into the bottomless pipe. The paper entered the pipe and finally fell into the underground palace. The lights are brightly lit in the depths of the underground palace. Hundreds of people perform their own duties and divisions of labor. Countless golden threads run through the surroundings like warp and latitude. This is the deepest intelligence agency of the Song Dynasty. Files can be found here in all departments and ministries of the imperial court, as well as various garrison officials and officials above the rank of lieutenant. "The moment the paper fell into the gold pot, the man in Tsing Yi who was waiting nearby quickly opened it for display, and then carefully put the paper into one of the channels. At the end of the passage is a dossier compartment, surrounded by bookshelves built with stone walls, already filled with volumes of books. A middle-aged man sitting at the table, after reading the contents of the paper, said in a deep voice to the two subordinates behind him: "Dong, Xinchou, three, four, left!" The strange and obscure words were heard by two people. The name of the subordinate's ears is an extremely precise position. The two quickly went to the East Book Pavilion, facing the direction of Xinchou, arranged according to each grid, and took out three files from the grids three to four from the left. The middle-aged man quickly flipped through the file, excerpted the essential content and transcribed it on a piece of paper. Finally, he put the paper together with the delivered piece of paper into a specific gold can, and slid it in the other direction through a channel connected by a steel wire. The criss-crossing silk thread channels became busy and active because of a piece of paper. In less than a moment, a piece of paper filled with summary was passed through the underground palace from bottom to top along the secret pipeline. A slight sound of metal collision came from the right armrest of the dragon chair. Ye Yu raised the handle of the faucet, took out the paper and took a look at it, but shook his head: "The wind and snow in the world don't just stop" After saying that, he slowly walked down the imperial steps and walked to the main hall silently. Outside, I looked up at the stars at night in the south. After a long time, Ye Yu suddenly spoke and ordered the eunuch: "It is said that Li Yuanhong, the crown prince of Zhennan Prince, has come to the palace to pay an audience!" "Yes!" The eunuch who was waiting on the side hurriedly left the palace after receiving the order. Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and during these three days, the capital city was like a pot exploding, and the assassination was discussed in the streets. Coupled with the fact that Ye Yu did not come to court early for three days, it added a bit of doubt to this assassination incident. The teahouse in Nanxiang, Kyoto, is bustling with people coming and going. But with the crisp sound of broken porcelain, everyone present was shocked into silence. Immediately afterwards, there was a scolding voice from a young man: "It's really annoying that in our imperial capital of the Great Song Dynasty, there are young people who assassinate the emperor and kill him. Such people should be cut into pieces by a thousand swords!" " What this brother said is true. His Majesty has just recovered from his dragon body, and now he is being attacked by evil people. It is really worrying. It is said that His Majesty has not been to court for three days, and even the ministers of the court have not been summoned ¡¡± ¡°Do you think it¡¯s possible that these assassins are the remnants of the rebellion that have not yet been wiped out?¡± ¡°Huh! No matter what kind of force they are, anyone who dares to assassinate Your Majesty is an enemy of the Song Dynasty and cannot be spared.¡± These traitors!" As soon as he finished speaking, a man sitting on the north side of the teahouse retorted: "This is impossible, a certain cousin works in Kaifeng Mansion, and I heard that these assassins speak Khitan!" As soon as these words came out, the whole teahouse was boiling! "What! Khitan! Isn't that the Liao Kingdom?" "Didn't the Liao Kingdom send peace envoys to Beijing? Why" "Humph! How can the barbarians have any credibility? I, the Song Dynasty, have signed many collegial agreements over the years. , when were these barbarians not the first to tear them down? These ambitious people are really punishable!" When the foreign assassination was mentioned, the anger of the tea guests present was obviously several times higher than before. "In the name of claiming to be a vassal and paying tribute, but secretly carrying out the assassination, it is really a heinous act of betrayal. This matter must not be let go!" "Yes, it must not be let go!" "Yes, we must not let it go!" Everyone was so angry that they couldn't restrain themselves because of their righteous indignation. There is an intention to gather a crowd to the National Congress Hall to denounce. "It is said that it is a joy to have friends from far away. EveryoneWouldn't it be an insult to our Song Dynasty to treat guests with courtesy by acting so recklessly? "At this time, a middle-aged Confucian scholar said something different. "Everyone was startled at first, and then a rebuttal came from the crowd: "The Analects of Confucius also said that when making friends, you must keep your word, since the other party has already lost Yes, is that still a friend? " " Having said that, harmony is the most valuable thing when it comes to etiquette. The way of the former kings is so beautiful; if you follow it in small and large ways, you will not be able to do it; if you know how to be harmonious and make peace, it will not be possible if you do not use etiquette! "The middle-aged Confucian scholar did not give in, and directly read two sentences from the Analects of Confucius, aiming to illustrate a truth, that is, peace should be valued in everything. "" After hearing this, most people gradually regained their consciousness. , after all, what the middle-aged Confucian scholar said made sense. Although many people were still dissatisfied, they finally suppressed it. However, at this moment, the middle-aged Confucian scholar raised his eyebrows coldly and sighed mockingly. : "Alas, the tendency to forget one's duty at the sight of profit is increasing day by day, the etiquette and enlightenment trend is gradually weakening, the ups and downs are followed, and the disobedience of ancient precepts is really destroying the foundation of China! " Two simple sentences not only ridiculed everyone present, but also directly satirized the current emperor. What does it mean to follow the example, and what does it mean to destroy the foundation of China? Bang! As soon as the middle-aged Confucian scholar finished speaking, a cup of tea and the teacup directly hit him. Suddenly water splashed and blood flowed across the face! I respect you as a fellow scholar, and I don¡¯t care about what you said just now. However, you actually mocked His Majesty, not to mention the foundation of China. I will not let you go! " "good! The so-called warehouses actually know etiquette, and those who have enough food and clothing know honor and disgrace. If our Song Dynasty were not prosperous and prosperous now, even if everyone in our court knew etiquette, how would the foreign barbarians give us the opportunity to talk about etiquette? " "Do you still remember the shame of Jingkang? The Jin people treated us like pigs and dogs, and we were dressed in sheep's clothing and were to be slaughtered like playthings? Some of them said angrily, "It's not that we don't follow etiquette, but we understand how to change etiquette with time!" "The middle-aged Confucian scholar pointed at everyone, his mouth trembling: "You! you! ¡¡" "please! "Everyone had a tacit understanding with each other, and then bowed to the middle-aged Confucian scholar politely. "You! " The difference in everyone's attitude made the middle-aged scholar feel resentful. How could he not know that this was deliberately teasing him. "We are the ones who have offended sir. Here we sincerely apologize to him for his diagnosis. We will be responsible for paying for the decoction and medicine. " "Yes, we all adhere to the teachings of the saints, and we are well-educated people, so we will never wrong you sir. "Everyone has a respectful attitude, and the purpose is to tell the people in front of them: Didn't you say that we don't understand etiquette, so now we will teach you about etiquette. "You you" The middle-aged scholar was angry His face turned red, and with the blood oozing from his forehead, he was even more embarrassed. Then he turned around and left angrily without looking back. Note: Sansheng wrote a couplet. In prosperous times, there is no rule of law, but in the end of chaos. , Enlightenment, cocks crowing, dogs and thieves are still common. In the chaotic times, when people only have the thought of living, there is no need to talk about etiquette, justice and shame. It is recorded in the history books, but it is too far away. However, back then ahem, people were eating bark and digging wild vegetables, and even more so, theft was rampant, and children were devoured. Feng Xiaogang's "1942" movie seems to have a miserable plot, but it is actually a beautification after editing (ahem). Ahem, you know) Therefore, in times of famine and chaos, don¡¯t talk about etiquette, justice, and integrity.
