Chapter 44: The Four Sons' Attainments

To answer this question correctly, first of all, you need to know who the fourth son is.

Secondly, use the metamorphosis to the extreme generalization ability to refine their attainments.

It is estimated that 9.9.7% of the candidates don't know who the fourth son is, and the rest of those who know can't be summarized.

The four sons actually refer to the four masters of science in the Song Dynasty, Shao, Zhou, Cheng, and Zhu.

Besides, summarizing their attainments in science, each of them has a profound and great knowledge, how can it be that it can be said in a few words?

Therefore, Cheng Minzheng, a perverted question maniac in Huizhou, did not consider the feelings of the candidates at all.

Yan Chengjin worked hard to write books, in order to win the Yuan in one fell swoop, he used Li Dongyang's regular script to write.

Writing other words may not be like it, but writing strategies is almost the same, because every word on the answer, he has been practicing with Li Dongyang's regular script since half a year ago.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the 12-year examination of Hongzhi ended.

The people who participated in the examination were already one in a thousand, and after a few rounds, there were still many people who couldn't bear it, and they fell seriously ill before the exam.

But Yan Chengjin insists on practicing his body on weekdays, and he has wolfberry to protect his body, so he is naturally fine.

Just released from the Gongyuan, he was also exhausted.

Now at the gate of the Gongyuan, there are already people discussing the strategy of the meeting.

"The third question of the strategy is so difficult that I haven't written it until the end of the show."

"Brother Xue is careless, even if it's a guess, you have to write it out, and you can earn some pen points, how can you leave it blank, I'll write it." The other was smug.

Your exam paper is gone!

Yan Chengjin mourned for him for a second, then immediately put on his mouth and quietly left the Tribute Courtyard.

Only three days later, the news of Cheng Min's political problem came, and he was imprisoned in Beizhen Fusi Prison, Xu Jing and Tang Bohu were taken away on the same day.

The imperial court was furious, and the streets and alleys of the capital were circulating this matter.

If the emperor is mediocre, the problem can be turned into a big thing and a small matter, because the mediocre emperor doesn't care who does the problem, and he has had it in the previous dynasty.

But in the Hongzhi Dynasty, under the rule of the virtuous Hongzhi Emperor, the problem was an extremely serious matter.

Even Cheng Minzheng, who once taught him to read and behave, can't.

In addition to Cheng Minzheng, even officials such as Hua Chang and Lin Tingyu, who impeached him, were imprisoned one after another.

Sure enough, the 12-year imperial examination fraud case of Hongzhi still happened!

Yan Chengjin knew how serious this time was, Emperor Hongzhi killed all the examination papers reviewed by Cheng Minzheng, and hundreds of people fell to Sun Shan because of this, but the imperial court did not disclose it to the public.

Wait a minute......

I suddenly found that I had missed a link!

Thinking that he would also be Cheng Minzheng to review the test papers, Yan Chengjin carefully counted the good things he had done on weekdays......

Emperor Hongzhi didn't have time to take care of him, so Zhu Houzhao took the opportunity to sneak out again: "Old Gao, this palace heard that Master Cheng has a question, did you give it to you?" ”

Yan Chengjin was busy blocking his mouth, when did God accept Zhu Houzhao?

Justice is late again?

Yan Chengjin was very serious: "This matter is related to the fate of the family, Your Highness don't talk nonsense!" ”

Zhu Houzhao came out, thinking that Cheng Minzheng and Yan Chengjin had a complicity, but when he heard that there was no such thing, he said angrily: "Master Cheng is really not interesting, he only gives it to Xu Jing and Tang Yin, not to you." ”

Of course, Zhu Houzhao didn't know that the question was different from his usual cheating in the Zhan Mansion, he cheated and was reprimanded by the masters at most, and the question was going to lose his head.

Yan Chengjin said: "Your Highness came out to find students today, what's the matter?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was stupid: "This palace thinks that Master Cheng has given you a question, but now my father is angry and wants to personally try the court, this palace is here to let you go to the deep mountains and old forests to avoid the limelight, and when the palace becomes the emperor, you come out to take the test again, and the palace will pardon you for your innocence, now it seems that there is no need for it, but Lao Gao, did Master Cheng really not give you a question?" ”

Yan Chengjin's heart warmed, Zhu Houzhao still had a little conscience, and he didn't hurt him in vain.

Yan Chengjin didn't want to entangle with him about this matter, the more entangled, the more Zhu Houzhao would continue to talk endlessly.

"Your Majesty wants to try it in person?"

"Yes, it's tomorrow."

Yan Chengjin no longer asked about this matter, and asked Zhu Houzhao to come a hundred times before letting him leave.

……………………

In the edict of Fusi in Beizhen, a light shone in the iron window and reflected on Cheng Minzheng's body.

Cheng Minzheng counted the days, and it has been five days since he came in.

The jailers are good to him, and Mu Bin is also good to him, asking questions on weekdays, but the food is poor, and he eats big white steamed buns every day.

Today, I was taken for questioning again, but there were a few more people coming, and the people from the three law divisions came.

Bai Ang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said: "Master Cheng, Xu Jing and Tang Bohu have already recruited, you better hurry up, otherwise tomorrow, it will be Your Majesty who will see you." ”

The three divisions have never interfered in the affairs of the Beizhen Fusi, and now they are all here all at once.

Cheng Minzheng straightened his waist and said righteously: "This official has never done it, why be afraid of the face saint!" ”

The people in the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple know that Cheng Minzheng is arrogant, and if he doesn't recruit, he won't recruit.

In this way, I had no clue for most of the day, and the three divisions were interrogated, but they returned in vain.

Before leaving, Cheng Minzheng asked them for some pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, thinking that he was going to present the confession on paper.

Cheng Minzheng glanced at the pile of blank paper that he brought, and shook his head: "It's not enough, bring some more." ”

Bai Ang and Mu Bin glanced at each other, do you want to write so carefully?

However, it doesn't hurt to write the case in more detail.

Bai Ang asked people to bring in a large pile of white paper, and prepared a bookcase and an oil lamp for Cheng Minzheng, and spread out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Bai Ang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, immediately ordered: "Transfer all the prisoners around you, and don't disturb Lord Cheng's confession." ”

Since he was locked in, Cheng Minzheng has thought a lot.

Anxiety, to fear, to indifference, and finally to see through.

In just five days, the sea has been up and down, as if it has gone through a lifetime.

He knew that the hard-won reputation was gone, and the new school of Taidou Liunuan was gone, and now, he just wanted to finish writing Huzhai.

The prison is a thought-provoking place.

After figuring it out in the prison cell, Cheng Minzheng's inspiration came to his heart like a thousand ideas.

No wonder Tai Shi Gong is in a prison cell, and he can write a swan song like the historical record.

After the cell door was closed, Cheng Minzheng started writing, but it was not a confession, but the finale of Huzhai.

Next

The court trial was held in the center of the noon gate, and a royal court was set up in the wide court of the noon gate, and the eunuchs placed a row of table cases, and behind the table was the throne of the Hongzhi Emperor.

Emperor Hongzhi personally investigated, and the subordinate officials of the Yamen of the Three Law Divisions naturally came.

Cheng Minzheng was brought up.

The interrogator of the Criminal Department shouted: "Kneel! ”

Facing the imperial hoop where Emperor Hongzhi was, Cheng Minzheng knelt down, and Emperor Hongzhi's voice came from the imperial hoove: "Cheng Qingjia, I asked you, Xu Jing and Tang Bohu bought questions from you, but it is true!" ”

Cheng Minzheng is neither humble nor arrogant: "The minister blocked the name of the previous life, and never leaked half a point." ”

Emperor Hongzhi: "This question, except for the two of them, no one answered it correctly, even I thought about it for a long time, and I dared to write it, and I didn't dare to say that I could get a full solution, why Xu Jing and Tang Bohu's answer?" Exactly the same as the one you gave to the grader? All of them are from the "Retreat from Fasting". ”
