Chapter 357 I thought it was a small green tea, but it turned out to be an adult Pu'er!
"you you……"
The two old men who were arguing with Gu Jingzhi covered their hands together, and the other one pointed at him with his fingers trembling slightly.
Seeing that the civil and military officials in the court were watching the two of them as if they were watching a show, an unprecedented sense of shame came over him...
Disloyal, unjust, unkind, unfilial, unwise...
A white-haired scoundrel, a gray-bearded old thief... shameless...
"puff……"
Both of them spat out blood.
"I'm so angry!"
The two old men fell to the ground at the same time. Those who didn't know the posture would think it was rehearsed in advance. All the court officials gasped when they saw this scene.
Is this...being scolded to the point of vomiting blood?
Gu Jingzhi was also a little dumbfounded. His thought of making them vomit blood was just talk. To be honest, in his two lifetimes, he had never seen anyone so angry that he vomited blood!
Could it be?
Is Zhuge Liang's quotations also a result of some grand scheme? It's going to make me spit blood?
Stop joking!
Gu Jing shook his head subconsciously. This is not a fantasy world!
The moment the two old men fell to the ground, someone immediately approached them with a panicked look... It seemed that even if their father had died at home, they would not be so anxious. Seeing this, a trace of gloom flashed in Gu Jingzhi's eyes.
So many people are courting them? Could these two old men be some important people?
This thought flashed through Gu Jingzhi's mind, but before he had time to think about it, he heard someone starting to impeach him.
"Your Majesty, Lord Yan and Lord Wen are both great Confucian scholars of our time. Now, they are being insulted in this way in the court. If the scholars of the world knew about this, they would definitely think that the court treats these great scholars poorly. To prevent the scholars of the world from feeling disheartened, I ask Your Majesty to punish Gu Jingzhi!"
"Your Majesty, I second the motion! Not only should he be punished, but he should also be stripped of his official position and title, and forced to publicly apologize in front of all the scholars!"
"???"
Gu Jingzhi narrowed his eyes and looked at the second and third brothers with an extremely dangerous look. These two bastards came out to show off to me for no reason. Do you really think I'm afraid of your status as princes?
The second and third brothers also noticed Gu Jingzhi's meaningful look and were slightly surprised.
Oops!
Jumped out too fast!
They reacted immediately, looked at each other, and then glanced at the officials' camp inconspicuously.
In an instant, many people jumped out!
"Your Majesty, Lords Yan and Wen are not only highly respected in the imperial court, but are also great scholars widely admired by the students of Daxia. Gu Jingzhi's disrespect for these great scholars is despised by scholars across the world. I implore Your Majesty to accept the two princes' advice and not to discourage the scholars of the world!"
"Your Majesty, Gu Jingzhi is rebellious and ignorant. He has no respect for great scholars, no moral integrity, and no... *&%￥@! I implore Your Majesty to revoke his title and official position and give an explanation to the scholars of the world!"
"His Majesty……"
The court was filled with excitement. Even among the Qingliu faction, many people jumped out to rebuke him, but none of them were as fanatical as others, clamoring to depose him or something like that.
Just ask him to apologize.
"Master Gu, Yan and Wen are the teachers of the Second and Third Princes, so please be extremely careful in your dealings with them!"
Gu Jingzhi turned around and found that it was Minister Niu from the Ministry of Rites, who was his teacher's man.
A hint of realization flashed in Gu Jingzhi's eyes. No wonder these two guys were so anxious to cause trouble for him today. It turned out that they were just putting on a show!
He didn't think that the two of them were really doing it for the two old men. Their selfish nature meant that they just wanted to win the hearts of scholars all over the world by suppressing Gu Jingzhi!
However, since you two are shouting so happily, I can only solve the problem from the root!
Seeing Emperor Xia being coerced by the court officials, Gu Jingzhi knew that if he did not express his opinion, Emperor Xia would really punish him, so...
"I'm very curious. How can someone who can't even understand the sages' books have the nerve to call himself a great scholar?"
Gu Jingzhi's voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
Those who had originally wanted to help Gu Jingzhi were immediately shocked. Especially Wei Xuan, who had originally asked someone to give Gu Jingzhi some advice in order to make him yield, but he didn't expect that it would backfire. This kid was actually so stubborn!
On the other hand, the generals looked at Gu Jingzhi one by one, their blood boiling!
They have never been good at speaking, and could never win over those civil servants, especially the two old men just now. Relying on their status as great scholars, they almost always say whatever they want. Many princes and dukes have suffered from this, so whenever these two old guys speak, they almost always remain silent.
Seeing Gu Jingzhi arguing with others today, they felt so happy, it was even more comfortable than eating a big iced watermelon in the dog days of summer!
However, thinking that this kid will probably be attacked in the end, I have to see how to help him. After all, Gu Jingzhi is a friendly force!
result……
The attacks from the court officials did come, but the scene they expected did not appear. Instead, they got a hard counterattack from Gu Jingzhi!
The phrase "How can I have the dignity to call myself a great scholar" directly made the atmosphere in the court the most lively one!
For a moment, the crowd was excited.
Even Emperor Xia frowned: "Gu Qing, be careful with your words!"
"His Majesty!"
Gu Jingzhi calmly straightened his official robes and said, "Scholars should achieve merit, virtue, and words; these are the three immortalities of a sage. A great scholar should be a first-rate figure in this world in terms of knowledge, cultivation, and merit!"
"Is this statement... incorrect?"
Gu Jingzhi turned to the officials in the court, and everyone was stunned when they heard what he said.
But he continued, "These two old guys are over 120 years old combined, yet they bully me, a person who is not even a fraction of their age. Ha..."
"Our Great Xia has a virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young. They don't even understand this principle, so how can they talk about being morally noble?"
Someone heard this and became furious: "That's the great scholar instructing you!"
"Then I thank him! Please stop giving me this kind of advice!"
Gu Jingzhi said disdainfully, "I won fame through the imperial examinations and recovered my homeland to earn a title. And now they come right up and start nagging me, demanding that Your Majesty strip me of my official position and title. What kind of advice is that?"
"you……"
You know what, he wouldn't accept this kind of advice!
Seeing this man retreating after just one word, someone immediately looked at him with contempt! Humph! Weak chicken, wait and see how I rebuke this barbarian!
The man said with a cold face, "Marquis Xiling, putting aside the facts, aren't you at fault? You accuse the two great scholars of not loving you, a young man, yet you don't even respect them, the elders!"
puff……
The sudden punch, familiar yet unfamiliar, caught Gu Jingzhi off guard. He turned around, wanting to ask where this fairy came from...
However, a wrinkled face appeared before his eyes, and Gu Jingzhi shuddered.
Where the hell did this aged Pu'er come from!
Gu Jingzhi glared!
"Let's put the facts aside, what else is there to talk about? Talking to you about tea art? You're a scholar, but you chose to learn all those fairy tricks instead of learning anything else. You're still so tea-shy at your age, do your family know?"
