And just when Lin Yan was worried that the matter of Wang Yan High School would continue to ferment, a group of scholars gradually hooked up after a few times of full wine and food, and pressed their handprints on a royal book. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Then hundreds of scholars knelt in front of the Chengtian Gate in front of the palace, holding the imperial book, shouting that the spring of the current branch was unfair, and there was a suspicion that the ministers of the court and the central government were protecting some of the candidates, and asked for the spring to be reopened.

It also lists several candidates who are already in high school, who they have met before the spring exam. This matter began to ferment with Wang Yan, and then implicated many other high school jinshi candidates, including the previous champions and lists.

At the same time, some beggars in the capital also sang on the street, such as "A certain family has a girl who has just grown up, once accompanied by the king's side, the golden house is dressed up as a delicate night, and the coquettish words say a few words, since then the father and uncle have become big officials, brothers and sisters have entered the knighthood, the lady intervenes in the political affairs of the court, and the brother-in-law has become a tanhualang ......" and so on, and the singing continues.

And although this kind of word is not named, as soon as I hear it, I know that it is Lin Yan, the queen.

In fact, this word is not sung correctly, before Lin Yan became the queen, the Lin family was already a family with lords, and her father, uncle and brother were all officials in the court, but Lin Yan, the queen, was all based on her family background, and the person who taught the beggar to sing the lyrics was deliberately misinterpreted.

At this time, King Hui made an excerpt to the emperor, saying that the reaction of the candidates in the Spring Festival was so great, there may indeed be injustice, and the scholars are the pillars of the country.

The emperor was so angry that he couldn't hold back his temper in the early court, and smashed an inkstone directly on King Hui's head, scolding him severely.

After returning to Changkun Palace, he was even more angry and kicked a chair, and said angrily: "Is it true that my son's wings are stiff when he grows up, and he will reopen the spring festival?" He treated the imperial examination as child's play. There are also those Wang Ba calves kneeling outside the Chengtian Gate, who want to persecute me after reading books for a few years, but there is no way. ”

Lin Yan heard that he even used the word "Wang Ba Lizi", and she was still a little sad, but she suddenly wanted to laugh.

The emperor continued to say angrily: "And what kind of nonsense are those sung outside, if I love a concubine, I can still talk a little, when the emperor's affection has become a mistake." Check, check it all for me, and see who dares to let people sing this kind of foul language. ”

After speaking, he shouted outside: "Wan Chun!" ”

Gonggong Wan hurriedly came in from outside, and said carefully and respectfully to the emperor: "The slave is here." ”

The emperor said: "Go and send a decree to Zhu Wei, so that he can cut down all the scholars who are kneeling outside the Chengtian Gate." There are also those people outside the palace who sing indiscriminately, and let the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division arrest and torture. ”

Gonggong Wan was a little embarrassed, and called out: "Your Majesty, ......" said and turned his head to look at Lin Yan, hoping that Lin Yan could appease the emperor.

Lin Yan took a cup of tea and handed it to the emperor, persuading him: "The emperor is angry, where is this scholar so easy to kill." ”

It's okay to arrest and torture those beggars who preach, but kneeling under the Chengtian Gate are all scholars with fame.

The imperial court has always said that it attaches great importance to scholars and imperial examinations, and scholars are not guilty of giving advice no matter what they say, even if they scold the emperor.

When the first emperor issued this order, it was to open up the way of speech, brainstorm ideas, and understand the people's feelings from them, so as to prevent being deceived by civil and military officials. Although this policy has drawbacks and causes the reader's tail to rise to the sky, it does have great benefits.

It's just a matter of killing one or two, the emperor ordered to kill hundreds or thousands of people, and other scholars can scold the emperor from a Ming monarch to a faint tyrant, and she, the queen who interfered in the government, naturally became a first-class traitor, but fulfilled the names of those people under the Chengtian Gate to leave a history book.

And the people who instigated these scholars to make trouble behind their backs just relied on the law to not blame the public, and the emperor didn't dare to take so many scholars at once.

The emperor still flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Could it be that I still have to be coerced by these sour scholars who sell their reputations?" ”

Lin Yan said: "Naturally not, no, there are other ways." ”

The emperor thought that Lin Yan already had a way, so he turned his head and asked, "What way?" ”

Lin Yan let out a "uh" and said, "I haven't thought of it for the time being." ”

Emperor: "......"

However, the emperor made a fuss, and he did get angry, knowing that this scholar could not be killed, unless he wanted to become a "faint king" in the history books.

The emperor then instructed: "Let people find out first who is the person who instigated the scholars to make trouble." ”

However, the emperor still holds a grudge in his heart, and he has already made a note in his heart, and said to Wan Gong: "There are also those who have their names on the imperial book, and they will never be hired in the imperial examination in the future." ”

Gonggong Wan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes." ”

Lin Yan said again: "The concubine also asked Chengliang to check, the emperor might as well call him over and ask." ”

The emperor nodded, and then instructed Wan Gong to be fair: "Go and summon Uncle Guo into the palace." ”

Wan Gong said yes fairly, and then retreated.

After Lin Chengliang entered the palace, he finished saluting the emperor and Lin Yan, sat down and drank a large sip of tea, and then said: "The minister has already gone to check, and the scholar's troubles were all instigated by that Han Zhongyuan, or bribed or enticed. That Han Zhongyuan is really shameful to say, and he has to be named the champion to be the fairness of the imperial examination. It is even more nonsense to say that Niangniang and our Lin family are involved in politics. ”

Lin Chengliang has always spoken openly, and he is a little bit big or small to the emperor, and then he said with an indignant face: "Your Majesty, you know, in addition to managing the harem and taking care of a few little highnesses, when did Niangniang interfere in the government affairs, and our Lin family, just fight and defend the frontier, there is not a single civil official in the clan." From beginning to end, there was nothing to do with our Lin family. Those people are really talking nonsense......"

The emperor brushed the tea leaves with the lid of the tea bowl, raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Chengliang, and said, "I know that your Lin family is loyal to the martyrs. "I didn't talk about the topic for a long time.

Lin Chengliang nodded, he felt the same way.

Then he said: "Your Majesty, there must be someone behind this matter, the man surnamed Han spent money lavishly, and he had already spent all the silver on his body after coming to the capital for more than a year, and he also owed a lot of silver to the inn and several restaurants. As a result, he made a fortune two days ago, not only repaying the money he owed, but also helping other candidates who had fallen into the first place to pay for their rooms, inviting them to dinner, and giving them silver, so he encouraged a large number of scholars to make trouble with him. The emperor and Niangniang guessed again, where did the silver surnamed Han come from? ”

Lin Chengliang slapped the table, and then said angrily: "It's from a staff member surnamed Qiu who came out of the Xuanguo Mansion." ”

Lin Chengliang's words were almost straightforward, and he said that the Xuanguo Mansion was making trouble behind his back.

Lin Chengliang continued: "However, this old scholar surnamed Qiu was kicked out of the Xuanguo Mansion a few days ago, saying that the surnamed Qiu's hands and feet were not clean and stole the things of the Xuanguo Mansion. ”

Lin Chengliang snorted in his heart, the Xuanguo Mansion was smart this time, and deliberately got rid of the surname Qiu first, and then secretly instructed the surname Qiu to help them do things. Even if others suspect it, a sentence surnamed Qiu has nothing to do with them for a long time.

But an old scholar who is a staff member has nothing to do, why should he encourage the scholars to make trouble, and the large sum of money he gave to the surname Han, a poor staff member can't take it out.

Lin Chengliang continued: "There are also those beggars who sang the words that slandered Niangniang, which he also made up and taught the beggars to sing. (To be continued.) )
