Steel Dynasty - Chapter 472

[Chapter 472: Fierce public opinion]

“How presumptuous!”

Xiao Ming was furious: “When will it be my turn to stop doing business and talk nonsense all day long like a Confucian scholar!”

Pang Yukun looked at Xiao Ming carefully, and Xiao Ming This anger made him see the majesty that some feudal kings should have.

He bowed and said: “Your Highness, please calm down. These Confucian scholars have never looked at Bowen College from the beginning to the end. They are devoted to studying the books of saints and sages, just to be named on the gold list one day, so in their opinion, Your Highness encourages scholars to learn such strange skills.” “It’s

ridiculous

, can’t they see the development of Qingzhou? Are all of them blind?” Xiao Ming was extremely angry. The death of Medical Officer Sun had already made him a little irritable, and now these Confucian scholars were using the topic to show how he could not be angry.

But the most important thing now is to find out the cause of Dr. Sun’s death. He said: “These Confucian scholars can’t afford to make trouble. The most important thing for you now is to find out the cause of Dr. Sun’s death. Does he really value the inheritance of master and apprentice more than his life?” Is it important? “

Speaking of this, Xiao Ming suddenly felt frustrated. He did not expect that deep-rooted ideas were so powerful.

“Yes.” Pang Yukun nodded, he hesitated and said: “Your Highness, these Confucian scholars who are spreading rumors and causing trouble should be arrested and interrogated.”

After hesitating for a while, he said: “No, let them continue to make trouble, it is best to let them If they make some noise, there will be no reason for me to deal with them.”

“Just letting these Confucian scholars slander and belittle His Highness may damage His Highness’s reputation.” Pang Yukun was a little worried.

Xiao Ming laughed at this time, “Pang Changshi is overly worried. If this was in Chang’an, I would be worried, but don’t forget what the foundation of Qingzhou is. Now that there are no noble families, I rely on the people. And these Confucian scholars are of no use to the fief.”

“Your Highness is right, as long as the people are peaceful, these Confucian scholars cannot afford to cause trouble.”

After that, he turned and left.

After watching Pang Yukun leave the main hall, Xiao Ming sent someone to call Li San to the palace. There were secret guards monitoring everything in Qingzhou. Just ask him about the root cause of the matter.

But just when the servant was about to go out, Li San had already arrived at the palace.

“Your Highness must have asked this official to come here because of Dr. Sun’s business,” Li San said.

Xiao Ming nodded, “Since you already know, tell me what you know now.”

Li San nodded and said to Xiao Ming: “Your Highness, Doctor Sun did commit suicide by taking poison, and before taking the poison, he committed suicide. The family members said that they did not want to offend His Highness and do not want to be criticized by the doctors, so they had to die. It was these words that reached the ears of the Confucian scholars, and these Confucian scholars started talking about His Highness. “

“That’s it.” “That’s it.” Ming sighed faintly, “Why is this necessary?”

Li San said: “But Your Highness, Dr. Sun’s suicide may not be your Highness’s responsibility. I think this matter has a lot to do with Dr. Sun’s senior brother, because it was Dr. Sun who committed suicide.” The day before he committed suicide, Dr. Sun’s senior brother Dong Haoran visited Dr. Sun, and according to Xia Guan’s understanding, the two broke up on bad terms.

“Yes, you have made progress now and figured out the whole story right away.” Xiao Ming felt comforted in his heart.

Wang Xuan is in charge, and Li is in charge. The two of them work together to form a complete secret guard. In the past two years, he has invested millions of taels of silver to build the secret guard. Now he finally has his informants throughout Qingzhou City.

“Your Highness, I said I will not disappoint Your Highness.” Li San said happily. He knew his shame and became brave after Wang Xuan repeatedly stole the limelight.

During this period of time, he had worked hard to train his subordinates, and now he had a firm control over the fiefdom.

“Well, you should immediately give the clues you got to Pang Shoufu and ask him to arrest Dong Haoran immediately.” Xiao Ming said.

Li San nodded, turned and left.

Xiao Ming also walked out of the main hall at this time. At this time, there was a murderous intention in his heart. He was not afraid of the battle of Cangzhou, and he was not afraid of the battle of Jizhou. Could he be afraid of this deep-rooted feudal ignorance? Is it what the Confucian scholars in the world say?

The death of Dr. Sun surprised him, but now that someone wanted to use this incident to criticize his policies, it would be too simple for him.

If necessary, he wouldn’t mind having a head-on confrontation with these Confucian scholars to see if it was their words or his guns that were tougher. In the past two years, he had only maintained tolerance for these Confucian scholars because he didn’t want to cause trouble.

But this time the death of Dr. Sun deeply touched him, and he felt the need to give these Confucian scholars a beating.

But before that, he must deal with Doctor Sun’s matter completely, otherwise his medical school will be finished from now on, and his army will not have a battlefield medical institution.

Xiao Ming frowned and sighed. He felt that it was necessary to establish an astronomy college at Bowen College.

In his opinion, this is the most advantageous weapon to deal with feudal ideas. However, he will not use this weapon yet, but will use it when necessary, because once he introduces astronomy, it means denying the divine right of kings. Thought.

The person who is most frightened at that time may not be the Confucians, but the current emperor Xiao Wenxuan. At that time, these Confucian students would add fuel to the flames, and Xiao Ming would probably be no different from a rebel.

Therefore, it is necessary for him to prepare, and he must prepare secretly. Once he has the opportunity, he can publish this astronomical knowledge, and even use this astronomical knowledge as a weapon.

He already has a plan for this, which is very risky and bold, because if successful, the Kong family in Qufu may be able to be used by him.

While he was thinking, Li San had already brought the news to Pang Yukun.

After getting the news, Pang Yukun immediately ordered the arrest of Dong Haoran. He understood Xiao Ming’s thoughts. He wanted to rectify the unhealthy practices of the doctors in the fiefdom, and Dong Haoran was the key point of this incident.

At this time, Dong Haoran was sitting opposite three people dressed as scholars in a medical office in the south of Qingzhou City.

One of the scholars said: “Doctor Sun is so righteous. He would rather die than surrender to the King of Qi in order to uphold Confucian teachings. He is really a role model

for us.” “Exactly, this Bowen College has long been unpopular. Why wait for us?” Confucian scholars despise it. In this land of Qilu, the hometown of sages, such absurd things can only happen. Now we have sent many absurd things to Qufu, asking Mr. Kong to say something for us Confucian scholars. “

“That is, this is the political reform of the country. Why can’t we Confucian scholars take the exam and enter the officialdom? What qualifications do those scholars in Bowen College who forget their ancestors have to compare with us?”
