Chapter 517 World Prejudice
It seems that although the scholars were dressed in men's clothes and dressed in a man's head, they were very dignified and calm in their words and demeanor. For a moment, you looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't say anything. Only one, looking at me, and I looked calm, looked down and said, "I think the students are so noisy that they quarreled with you, so I'll forgive me. I dare to ask you about your honor? I wonder if it's convenient to inform you?"
If it weren't for her age and not a young woman, the scholar wouldn't dare to ask about honor and ask about the honor. Now he asked, it would seem that he was polite.
Princess Taiping smiled, smiling with a wide range of demeanor and imposing momentum: "My father gave him the title of Taiping, and the late emperor was granted the title of Zhenguo."
The scholars were startled and bowed or not, and said, "Students met His Highness, Princess Taiping, Zhenguo."
Princess Taiping raised her hand and said calmly: "You don't need to be too polite. I will go out for a walk today without being restricted by rituals."
Yanshu looked quite kind. Zhang Changzong stood by quietly, wearing casual clothes, standing aside without saying a word, leaning himself against Princess Taiping's guard, very low-key, but his eyes were silently looking at the people present.
The scholars lowered their heads, looking at me, and I looked at you, but they didn't say a word. Instead, the scholar who asked for advice gave another tribute and forced himself to say, "It's the students who are frivolous, please ask Your Highness to punish him."
Princess Taiping glanced at him, but she admired his courage and responsibility, and asked, "So, do you want to take it with all your strength?"
The scholar bowed and said, "This literary meeting was organized by students. If something happened at the literary meeting, the students bear the responsibility that they cannot refuse. They dare not say that they can bear it with all their strength, but they do not want to avoid ruling. Besides..."
The scholar paused and said again: "Although the students have been in Beijing for a short time, they have heard of the eldest princess recommending Yao Xiang, but Yao Xiang offended the eldest princess. The eldest princess is still generous to Yao Xiang, and the students are humble. Even if they dare to respect themselves, they are not qualified to make His Highness angry."
This man can speak.
Princess Taiping couldn't help but look at him a few more times, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "Raise your head, let me take a look."
The scholar was nothing, and Zhang Changzong was shocked and doubted whether his mother-in-law wanted to take male pets?! Then he took a look. His ordinary eyebrows, ordinary appearance, and figure were not like Kuiwei, nor were tall and thin. His ordinary height and weight, except for his very bright eyes, he was the kind of person who could not be found in the crowd.
The appearance is average, too ordinary. Thinking about the male servant who is handsome and handsome in the backyard of my mother-in-law, Zhang Changzong felt at ease and continued to watch quietly. Then he heard Princess Taiping ask, "What is his name? Where is his hometown?"
The scholar replied respectfully and politely: "Go back to the eldest princess, the student Gao Botong, is from Jizhou."
"Have you ever sent the papers to various places?"
Gao Botong said ashamedly: "When the eldest princess, the student is really talented in poetry and essays, and dare not show his ugly and noble eyes, so he has never performed the book."
Princess Taiping nodded slightly and said, "I know, please step back. What about the passionate person before? Could it be that your righteousness and your way, I will not have it in front of me? If I just have such courage, it would be a waste of my previous praise."
While speaking, he smiled slightly, his smile was light. Although he did not show any contempt, his meaning was very obvious. He added: "Or, all the people present today will be punished?"
The last sentence deliberately slowed down the speed of speech, aggravated the tone, and the majesty would be revealed.
Most of these scholars come from ordinary families. If they are from good backgrounds, they would not have chosen to hold a literary meeting at Yuelai Inn. Seeing that Princess Taiping seemed angry, many people couldn't help but show a look of fear. Some even kicked a thin scholar next to them and whispered: "Zhao Lin, one person does things and one person does it, and he said passionately before, why don't you recognize it now?"
"Yes, Zhao Lin, you said it, don't implicate everyone."
Someone said one after another, but although he did not say it clearly, he also exposed the man. The man's face was flushed and his eyes were filled with fear, and quietly looked up at Princess Taiping, who stood calmly, swallowed, and forced himself to say, "If you recognize me, what should I do?"
As he said that, he stood up and bowed and bowed: "Report to the eldest princess, the previous words were what the students said and had nothing to do with others."
Zhang Changzong and Princess Taiping looked at the man together. He was about thirty years old, with a beard on his upper lip. He was thin and had a slightly pointed chin, making his cheekbones look a little high.
"Who are you? Where are you from?"
"Student Zhao Lin, whose hometown is the same as Brother Gao, is from Jizhou."
It turns out that these two people are still fellow villagers. No wonder Gao Botong and others would interact with Zhao Lin.
Princess Taiping did not comment, her face was calm, and she was hard to tell the difference between joy and anger, so she asked: "You said before that the palace was in the court and that the court was inconsistent with etiquette and law, and she also said that the heroine in power would only cause trouble to the court. Is that right?"
Zhao Lin's face turned pale, and he even gritted his teeth and admitted: "Back to Your Highness, this is indeed what the students said, but this is not the opinion of the students alone, but the consensus of the world. In front of him, there was the unjust prison and murder of the Queen when she was in power, and in the later period, there was the selling of official positions and titles by Empress Wei, which caused trouble in the court, and there were bloody cases, and the iron evidence was as strong as a mountain. The students were not saying anything."
"hehe"
Princess Taiping actually laughed and asked, "My mother has passed away. It is not easy for a woman to discuss the right and wrong of her mother. However, a hundred years later, the right and wrong of her mother will be criticized by later generations. As for Wei... it is worthy of being compared with her mother?"
Zhao Lin's face was flushed, but he still said, "However, the corruption of the Chaogang is the same."
Princess Taiping smiled again: "Even so, what does it have to do with me? Although I am a woman, I am considered a poor and meritorious person to ask myself about the country and the family. Even if I am a member of the meritorious official, I am qualified. Why did the scholar boldly list this palace with Wei? "
At the end of the day, the voice and color are harsh!
Zhao Lintong's red face turned pale in an instant, but he didn't know whether it was really bold or pedantic, but he even argued with his neck: "Although the eldest princess has made contributions to the country, his highness is a princess and has become a mother. Why don't you retire after your success? Be cautious of a woman's virtuous and virtuous duties and leave her reputation for eternity. Why is she in the court and indulge in power?"
Damn it!
Zhang Changzong looked at Zhao Lin as if he was looking at a fool. It was hard for Gao Botong, who was so clear that he had to interact with such people. Zhang Changzong couldn't help but feel very sympathetic.
