Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Fall (I)

The Imperial Palace in Tokyo

"Fetch me and take a look at it." After the ministers finished arguing, the matter had a result, so they all left the side hall, and then Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty pointed to Li Sanjian's answer sheet that was held on the ground by Zhang Dun and said.

Liang Shicheng, who was waiting on the side, quickly picked up Li Sanjian's answer sheet when he heard this, then landed on his knees, slipped to his knees, slid in front of Zhao Xu, held the answer sheet high with both hands and handed it to Zhao Xu, and said: "Official, it's getting late, why don't you go back to the palace to rest?" ”

Zhao Xu waved his hand, took Li Sanjian's answer sheet and looked at it carefully.

After Zhao Xu looked at it, he closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Official, this is an article that the famous juzi once did, called "On Controlling Land with the Sea", and the slave and maid transcribed it, do you want to take a look at it?" Liang Shicheng then took out a few pages of paper and said to Zhao Xu cautiously.

"Huh? Controlling land by sea? Zhao Xu glanced at Liang Shicheng, took the article he transcribed and read it carefully.

"I didn't expect that this person would make such an article at such a young age?" After reading it, Zhao Xu sighed: "But this person is indeed too young. ”

Of course, Zhao Xu did not refer to how well the article was done, but to Li Sanjian's opinion in the article, which can be said to be the first time since the Song Dynasty, and everyone in the past paid attention to the land route and ignored the sea route.

Li Sanjian's insights were so fresh that Zhao Xu was amazed.

。。。。。。。。

There was a yamen in the Song Inner Court, called Miscellaneous Buyers.

As the name suggests, the main function of the miscellaneous service is to procure all kinds of necessary things for the court, so the eunuchs of the miscellaneous shopping can enter and leave the palace freely.

On this day, after a miscellaneous clerk left the palace gate, he did not go to the market, but went straight to Li Sanjian's residence, and after stuffing a note to Li Sanjian, he left in a panic.

Li Sanjian took the note and stayed where he was, simply inexplicable and confused.

Li Sanjian immediately looked at the note, only to see that it read, "Danger, leave Beijing quickly!" Six words, this made Li Sanjian puzzled and suspicious at the same time.

This note is obviously a warning, but Li Sanjian wonders, what danger is there to himself? Could it be that the warning is looking for the wrong person? Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, Li Sanjian didn't even know the identity of the person who sent the warning note, but he just felt that this person was richly dressed and had a sissy...

However, Li Sanjian then carefully recalled what he had done after coming to Jingshi, and he didn't find anything particularly out of the ordinary, and he didn't offend anyone, except for what happened in front of Cai's mansion last time.

But the matter of Cai Mansion is that Cai Fu repented of his marriage and insulted his mother, and he was just fighting back at that time, could it be that because of these few words, he offended some court officials, thus bringing danger to himself?

This is not enough, Li Sanjian then denied this idea.

Li Sanjian suddenly remembered what happened when he just arrived in Kaifeng Mansion and then drank in Zhaixinju, when he drank too much and said something that should not be said, did he offend the government because of this, thus bringing trouble to himself?

The other is the tribute, but you can't be convicted because of one of the tributes, right? Li Sanjian thought in his heart.

"San Lang, what's wrong?" Li Sanjian stayed at the door in a daze, which made Fu Erniang puzzled, so he went out and asked.

"Mother, the child is fine, be careful of catching a cold when it rains outside." When Li Sanjian heard this, he hurriedly helped Fu Erniang into the house.

Li Sanjian is too lazy to think about it, what's the use of thinking about it for a long time? What should come is always coming. As for escaping from Beijing, Li Sanjian has no such plan, Li Sanjian dragged his family with his mouth, how could it be so easy to escape? Besides, if you offend the government, or even get convicted by the court, where else can you escape? If this is the case, the world is so big, there is no place for Li Sanjian to stand at all.

。。。。。。。。

Kaifeng Mansion in March, the ice and snow are gradually melting, spring has come, spring is sunny, a hundred flowers bloom in the season, but spring is also a rainy season, spring rain is continuous, it may rain for several days.

In addition to more than 2,000 sons, there are countless people who watch the excitement or have various purposes in mind, in addition, there are countless small servants waiting for the good news, idle men are waiting to take the happy money, and there are even many rich gentry, staff members, and Zhuang Ding, waiting to catch their sons-in-law under the list.

Catching a son-in-law under the list, as the name suggests, is to catch a son-in-law under the list of the Ministry of Rites, that is, on the day of the list, the rich gentry from all over the country set out their families to compete to choose Dengdi Shizi as their son-in-law. Beanie boxes

Because the Song court treated scholars well, the status of scholars was very high, and everyone wanted to be officials. Although the economic level of the Song Dynasty was very high, the social status of merchants was not high, and merchants wanted to get involved with a certain court official in order to protect their family wealth, develop their own families, or squeeze into the upper class, but there were not many ways to choose. Either their own family has a scholar and become an official, or they marry a child of a clan, or they attract scholars to marry by marrying rich family wealth.

There is no other way than to catch a person who may be a marquis and worship the prime minister as a son-in-law, even if these people who are about to be "caught" will not be able to be slaughtered and executed in the future, but many years later, at least they will be a feudal official.

Scholars seek wealth, businessmen seek profits, and many times the two sides really hit it off, and even not only businessmen, but also the daughters of many official eunuchs waiting to "catch their sons-in-law". It is said that during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, there were people who filed a lawsuit against Bo Gongtan for this matter...

"A certain family has 1,000 acres of fertile land, and is willing to take out 100 acres of fertile land and cultivate ten cattle as a dowry, but is Langjun willing?"

"Go, go, you turtle, you know the field, the cow or something, a certain willing to pay 5,000 yuan, 100 high-grade Jiangnan silk, 50 Shu brocade, does anyone come?"

"Stupid man, you sell your daughter? Just the one in your family, the crooked melon and cracked dates... , but also sold? I have two twenty-eight daughters in my family, is anyone coming? And a rich dowry... ”

Today is the day of the release of the new science and technology jinshi, but the list of the Ministry of Rites has not yet been posted, everyone has begun to shout, the scene is shouting, it is noisy, at first glance, I thought I came to the human trafficking Boyi field. . .

Everyone knows the principle of starting first, and they all know that they are prepared for a rainy day, and after the list of the Ministry of Rites is posted, it will be too late! Therefore, the people who "caught the son-in-law" stared at the crowd like hungry wolves according to their own feelings.

After the list of the Ministry of Etiquette is released, if it is "caught" wrong, it is a big deal to kick it away.

Li Sanjian, Zeng Gongming, Ye Mengde and others who came to watch the release of the list were also regarded as dead, and once there was any trouble, they would take it immediately.

But all this has nothing to do with Li Sanjian later.

Suddenly, holding the list of famous scholars of the new branch was held out by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and then quickly pasted on the list of the Ministry of Rites, everyone was immediately attracted to the past at this time, and they flocked to the list, their eyes widened, or looking for their names, or helping others to find, but the people who "caught the son-in-law" did not look at the list, but stared at the crowd tightly, once a certain lifter appeared or cheered, or cried, or yelled and other gaffes, he immediately took it down and snatched it back to the house.

In a moment, the lifters either cheered, cried loudly, and ran to tell each other, hoping that everyone in the world would know that they had reached the first place, or sat on the ground with a depressed expression, or left the tribute courtyard sadly, looking for a place, and borrowing wine to drown their sorrows.

The world is all revealed here.

"No, no... Zeng Gongming said with a sad face, Zeng Gongming watched it at least five times, but he didn't see Li Sanjian and his name, not only did Li Sanjian not have him, but even the name of Lingnan Juzi was not one.

Lingnan raised the son of this tribute, and the whole army was exhausted. . .

Li Sanjian also shook his head in frustration, Li Sanjian only looked at the list once, and already knew that he was not on the list, there were not many people with the surname Li in the list of more than 200 people, Li Sanjian basically saw at a glance that he had fallen behind.

This tribute can be said to be expected and unexpected for Li Sanjian.

Li Sanjian's current affairs policy, after Li Sanjian recalled it, he already felt that it was not good, but Li Sanjian still held a trace of luck in his heart, with a trace of luck to be recognized by the examiners and even the emperor, Li Sanjian still held a glimmer of hope, but at present, it seems that Li Sanjian's hope has been dashed.

"Ouch, isn't that Li Hanren, the number one talent in Lingnan? How? Is it on the list? ”

"Haha, brother, he should be renamed Li Hanlin, maybe he can still be on the list."

At this time, some of the lifters recognized Li Sanjian, who won the leader of the Lantern Festival, so these movers who were not dismissed from Lingnan spoke sarcastically, and the first person was even more elated.

"What's the use of a good word? In the end, it's not like it's not on the list, hehe. ”

The more these people talked, the more energetic they became, making all the Lingnan people look at each other angrily.

"Stop" Zhao Mingcheng also participated in this tribute, and Zhao Mingcheng's name did not enter the list of famous jinshi, at this time, seeing that these people were so rude to Li Sanjian, he couldn't help but be furious, pointing at these people and shouting: "Tang Zhimengjiao, three moves to enter the department, known as Mr. Zhenyao." Tang Zhi's article Jugong, Baidai Wenzong Han Yu Han Wengong, four moves to be in the middle of the Jinshi, the latter official is in a high position, the same is true of Wen Mu Gong of this dynasty, such precedents, abound, how can you judge heroes with success or failure? ”

As soon as Zhao Mingcheng said this, these people laughed even more happily, and asked with a smile: "Haha, in this case, how many times can Li Yingying be on the list?" ”

"Yes, Li Yingying, I'll see you next year."

"Hahahaha"
