Du Qi's death caused huge waves in the Wanping County School, and also caused all kinds of criticisms among the scholars in Peking against King Yan.
The killing of officials by the King of Yan can be considered as a different stance. Zhang Bing and Xie Gui were members of the imperial court, so there was nothing wrong with his killing. Song Zhong, Ma Xuan and others were unwilling to surrender after being captured. They died to repay the emperor's favor and gain a reputation for loyalty. But Du Qi was just a student, and he just "admonished" King Yan with some fierce words and was killed in a few words. This is too unreasonable.
During the Hongwu period, Zheng Shili, who dared to write a frank letter to Zhu Yuanzhang, was simply exiled, but when he came to Zhu Di, he was directly killed. If such a man-made rebellion succeeds, is it a blessing or a curse?
In Wanping County School, the teaching staff issued several strict orders not to allow students to discuss this matter. Compared with the passionate Leng Tou Qing, Jiao Yu could see more clearly that Du Qi really didn't understand King Yan and directly hit the muzzle. Any other person he was admonishing, such as the crown prince, would not have died so worthlessly.
When Du Qi was first recommended, there were worries in the edict. He was the one who scolded King Yan most loudly for his disobedience. He was also the first to respond when the King of Yan's palace recruited talents. Now it seems that there is no problem with Du Qi's character. The problem is that his character is too upright.
