Chapter two hundred and eighty first court disputes

"Haha! I didn't expect... Liu Yanfang could feel it, Su Lin, I just used my karma to block the ban. Liu Yanfang, the first saint of the temple, had already discovered it, but it doesn't matter. I just discovered it, this ban is only good but not bad for you."

Su Zong smiled and said, "If the news of your wisdom is spread through the holy words, I am afraid that as soon as you leave the seclusion, another large number of demon saints will come immediately... Even I can't resist it!"

"Old master, but now I have become a thorn in the eyes of the demon clan. When I returned to Fengle County this time, I encountered a monster-level snow wolf demon in the middle of the way. This is still inside the pass. If I get outside the pass, I'm afraid I will be in danger."

Su Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Now I am going to the capital thousands of miles away again to enter the Imperial College. I don't know how many obstacles I will encounter on the road."

"Well! This is a problem, but Su Lin is also a training for you. Only after continuous training can a person's thoughts become tenacious. This time you go to Beijing, it is probably difficult. If you don't mention the opponents you have messed with, even the political enemies of my Su family in Wu, I'm afraid they will try every means to set obstacles for you! And it's a legitimate obstacle..." Su Zong said.

"What should I do? Old Master, I am just a juren. No matter how powerful I am, I can't resist a few grand sirens and Hanlin sirs, etc. I think I'd better not go to the capital. Why not follow you to the temple to sneak into the temple!"

Su Lin felt depressed. It was already troublesome for provoking the Ran family and the Zhao family. Unexpectedly, he joined the Su family now. He also brought hatred from the Su family with the political enemies. This time he traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to study, which was probably more dangerous than he thought.

"That's not possible. Since the king issued an imperial edict to summon you to the capital, if you don't go, you will inevitably be talkative, and even be surrendered by the king for disobeying the imperial edict."

Su Zong shook his head and said, "But don't worry, the prince order I gave you can take my full blow. When you encounter danger, throw it out with all your strength, which can save your life. At the same time, I will also feel your danger and come to save you immediately."

"With the old man's words, I feel much more at ease. That kid will say goodbye first and go back and prepare to go to Beijing."

This is what Su Lin wants. Although the Crown Prince Order is powerful, it is only consumed at one time. If you really encounter danger, you will often be able to escape with the full force of the half-saint. However, with Su Zong's guarantee, if you come quickly with the half-saint's power, as long as Su Lin can hold on for a while, he will be able to escape safely.

"Hey! Su Lin's son appeared in my Su Mansion. I don't know if it was a blessing or a disaster! However, the great disaster is approaching, and the entire Tianren Continent cannot be calm. I can become a semi-saint of the Zongheng family. It is also with the luck of the great disaster! I believe that soon, a large number of semi-saints will emerge in other schools of thought..."

Looking at Su Lin's back as he left, Su Zong couldn't help but sigh. In his sea of ​​wisdom, he had already begun to speculate on the response strategies when various catastrophes came.

At this time, a fierce dispute was taking place in the Wu court.

"Report to the Emperor, Weichen and others, that Su Lin of the Su family is not qualified to enroll in the Imperial College. He begs the Emperor to take back his life."

The king of Wu, Sun Jianshi, sat upright on the dragon throne, and wrote a letter from the cabinet scholar Ran Shitong, who said with great sarcasuality.

Ran Shitong was the younger brother of Ran Shichang's mother. He was a Grand Secretary and a second-rank cabinet bachelor. At this time, he was united with seven or eight officials of all sizes in the cabinet and jointly wrote a letter to the king of the king Sun Jianshi, opposing Su Lin's admission to the Imperial College.

The Imperial College is the highest institution of learning in a country. At least the ranks of the Grand Secretary are the Grand Secretary. In addition, there are countless books and various treasures to enhance thoughts in the Imperial College. Only the children of royal relatives and children of aristocratic families who hold second-rank or above in the country are eligible to enroll.

It is impossible for ordinary people or children of the prince to enter the Imperial College unless they make great contributions. Moreover, even families with second-rank official positions or above must be from the direct bloodline to obtain the qualification for admission, and there are strict restrictions on the quota.

Basically, the six ministers in the court all came from first-rank officials, and only had one direct descendant to enroll in the Imperial College every year. There were only two first-rank officials every year, and the other second-rank officials were from second-rank officials, and even had the qualification to be one for several years.

It can be said that being able to enroll in the Imperial College will not only obtain rich educational resources, but also a symbol of status. It is also a good opportunity to make friends with the children of royal relatives and families to expand their connections.

The Ran family and Su Lin had a deep feud, so it was naturally impossible to easily watch Su Lin enter the Imperial College for study. Therefore, as a bachelor of the cabinet, Ran Shitong, joined hands with some officials in the cabinet early in the morning to jointly initiate a memorial to the monarch, opposing Su Lin's admission to the Imperial College for study.

"Ran Aiqing, I personally issued the order for Su Lin to be admitted to the Imperial College. And the order has been issued, so why do you say this? Why is Su Lin not qualified to be admitted to the Imperial College?"

He heard voices against his imperial edict early in the morning. As the monarch, Sun Jianshi was naturally unhappy and asked with a frown slightly.

"I heard from Your Majesty that the Imperial College is the highest institution of learning in the Wu Kingdom. All those who have been admitted to the school are the direct bloodlines of various aristocratic families. Although Su Lin is the prince of the Su family, he is just a side department that has only been in the Su family for less than a year. What qualifications are there to enroll in the Imperial College?"

Ran Shitong bowed righteously, and at the same time, the seven or eight cabinet officials behind him bowed: "Your Majesty! I will discuss it!"

"Your Majesty! I disagree with Scholar Ran's words. Although Su Lin is only a sub-line bloodline of my Su family, his contribution to the entire Wu Kingdom is obvious to everyone. Over the past few months, Su Lin has written several poems on the country, which indirectly improved the national destiny of our Wu Kingdom. Inspiring His Majesty to issue the "Transfer of Fields" in the country. Even if Su Lin is not the direct bloodline of my Su family, with his contribution to the Wu Kingdom, he is enough to enter the Imperial College for enrollment."

The one who spoke out was Su Jin, the Minister of War. As the eldest son of the Su family, he naturally had to speak for Su Lin, the prince of the Su family.

"Well! This is reasonable for Shangshu Su. I also considered Su Lin's contribution to Wu State that he rewarded him for enrolling in the Imperial College. He had nothing to do with his identity. Even the children of ordinary people could write several poems about the country in a row, which was enough to enroll in the Imperial College and be awarded the title."

The king Sun Jianshi nodded and said, "I am still planning to wait a few years later, after Su Lin passed the Jinshi exam, he will be appointed Duke Zhenguo. It is too early now, he is too young."

"No! Your Majesty..."

At this time, it was not just Ran Shitong, but Zhao Tian, ​​the Minister of Rites, also stood up and said bluntly, "Your Majesty! I am discussing the advice of Ran Xueshen. Su Lin has no qualifications to enter the Imperial College. Our Wu Kingdom established the country with filial piety, but Su Lin has disrespected filial piety and forced his stepmother to death. Let me ask, even if such an unfilial son is talented and has written many poems to maintain the country, if he can still enroll in the Imperial College, wouldn't it be the biggest joke if his Wu Kingdom established the country with filial piety?"

Zhao Tian, ​​the Minister of Rites, is already 65 years old this year. He is Wen Wei, a Hanlin Grand Secretary. He is the cousin of Zhao Xiuwen, a great scholar in military affairs. He practices authentic Confucianism, specializes in filial piety, and is in charge of the etiquette and education of the entire Wu Kingdom.

In the court, Zhao Tian's words immediately shocked the whole hall. The officials in the court had more or less heard about Su Lin's talent and reputation, especially Su Lin's poems on the country, which were often held in their hands and talked about each other with relish.

There are many officials who are very optimistic about Su Lin. With these poems, they feel that Su Lin must be the candidate among the younger generations who are most likely to impact the semi-saints in the future. The court will definitely reuse Su Lin, and its future is limitless.

However, Zhao Tian's words immediately caused an uproar. As we all know, the State of Wu established the country with filial piety, and the only saint word "filial piety" suppressed one of the nine sacred artifacts, becoming a solid backing for the condensation and support of the entire State of Wu.

Any unfilial behavior and thoughts are unforgivable in the Wu Kingdom. Advocating filial piety is the most important part of the ritual education of the Wu Kingdom. There are bank treasury and official positions in various prefectures and counties that specifically reward filial sons. Some well-known filial sons who have been well-known to the king may even directly surrender the national destiny and force their position to be promoted, and then grant corresponding official positions.

Now, Zhao Tianguchi, the Minister of Rites, made a shocking comeback. In front of the civil and military officials of the court, he personally told Su Lin about his unfilial deeds of "forcing his stepmother to death". If such an unfilial son, Sun Jianshi, insisted on promoting and rewarding Su Lin, it would completely violate the national policy and ancestral teachings.

"Sulin forced his stepmother to death? Is there such a thing?"

The king Sun Jianshi was also stunned. He was somewhat unexpected. His concern for Su Lin was limited to the poems and novels written by Su Lin. Now he suddenly heard that Zhao Tian, ​​the Minister of Rites, reported Su Lin's deeds to force his stepmother to death, and was shocked. It was no exaggeration to behead him for such unfilial crimes. If this matter was true, it would be enough to make Sun Jianshi feel embarrassed.

"Hmph! Su Lin, what's the use of your talent? Just forcing your stepmother to death will make you unable to gain a foothold in Wu. My Wu State is a country with filial piety. If the king can still tolerate an unfilial son like you, wouldn't he be in trouble with the court?"
