On the street, a fast horse galloped in, and the iron hooves stepped on the bluestone paved road and sparked, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. The rider on the horse had a flag on his back, which was dripping with ink and full of words, and he couldn't see what was written on it in a hurry, only to see him waving a good news in his hand, and shouting hoarsely all the way: "Great victory, great victory, Lord Li, Zhaoyang County Lord Songjiang Great victory, slash the pseudo-reverse Bolo!" Thousands of thief boats were burned and sunk in the Huangpu River!"

He rushed all the way, and the whole city immediately became a sensation, and all the officials and people cheered along the way, and countless firecrackers exploded one after another, like 10,000 artillery pieces bombarded at once. Some people even ran wildly and chased after the messenger, trying to read the content of the good news written on the banner, which was called Lubu's good news.

"Great victory, great victory, the defeat of the pseudo-rebels, the counterattack of the army, the recovery of Jinshan, Qingpu, Jiading, and the relief of Shanghai ......"

When a messenger came to report the news, someone naturally rushed to the palace.

At this time, Emperor Longwu was discussing poetry and articles with several literary attendants and scholars, discussing the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period. Although these literary scholars did not have the title of attendants and banquet speakers, the literary and righteous scholars of the imperial court also regarded them as idols, and they were also very high people in the court.

Although they could hear that they spit lotus flowers in their mouths, their tongues were righteous, they were foaming at the mouth, and they were elated, and they wanted to sell everything they had learned in their lives for a while, but Emperor Longwu was absent-minded. A few days ago, there was a controversy between the DPRK and China, which made him feel uneasy, and all kinds of thoughts came flooding back, and he was very upset. The situation between the DPRK and China is very obvious, not only civil and military officials, but also he, the emperor, who is not in the hands of Liang Guogong? Don't say that they really turned their faces and started knives and guns, it was Liang Guogong's subordinates who signaled a little bit, cut off their diet, and reduce the supply, which was enough to make these guys who talked about it bitter!

Suddenly, they heard the crowd outside the palace for a while, as if tens of thousands of people were shouting and cheering in unison, followed by countless firecrackers, and finally, the entire city seemed to be boiling, and only one voice echoed in the heavens and the earth: "...... Great victory...... Great victory! ”

“……… The rebel army is defeated...... The army counterattacks! ……”

“…… The heavenly soldiers recovered Jinshan, Qingpu, and Jiading, and Shanghai broke the siege, and the troops approached Songjiang Mansion ......"

The sound of firecrackers and cheers became louder and closer, and gradually the sound of gongs and drums was intertwined, and people became more and more excited. Emperor Longwu couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, he strode to the pavilion door suddenly, looking forward to it, like a little daughter-in-law looking forward to her husband who had not returned home for a long time, waiting for the good news to come.

And when the literary attendants around him heard this huge sound, their faces were also full of surprise, and they all stood up involuntarily. Like the emperor, they all know the significance of this victory, and the current Ming Dynasty and the Son of Longwu need this victory too much.

After this great victory, Li Weiru not only had the merit of supporting the country, but also had the achievements of protecting the country. There is the foundation of soldiers, horses, money and food outside, and the hope of opening a branch of scholars inside, who in the world can control it? "Zodiac Zhou, who enjoys the treatment of opening the middle door, drumming music, and firing cannons, is worried. Li Shouhan has achieved the general trend, and from then on there will be no one in the DPRK and China to restrain him, which is the last thing he wants to see.

However, the arrival of this good news made Emperor Longwu very happy, and Long Yan was very happy. With this victory, he, the emperor of the Tang Shu people, has full legitimacy, and he no longer has to be three points shorter than other emperors. Up and down, the government and the opposition were even more jubilant. The victories from the direction of Songjiang and Shanghai made people sweep away the decadent and defeated mood of the Jiashen years. Countless people secretly let out a long breath and began to put up the above table, asking the emperor to reward the meritorious soldiers, "Don't hesitate to reward the knights!" "It is also necessary to pay tribute to the temple and ancestors, and inform the mausoleum that the pastoral ancestral hall is safe and so on. There are even businessmen who are foaming at the mouth and boasting to the customers, "Allah has already told Ning, what kind of place is Shanghai?" Feng Shui treasure! I have long persuaded Ning to go over there to buy land and build a house, but Ning just refuses to believe Allah! Say what Tartars will definitely hit Shanghai when they cross the river! How about a look now!? Hundreds of thousands of pigtailed soldiers have taken off a piece of Shanghai's wall skin? In the future, when Longwu Tianzi returns to Nanjing, the price of houses in Shanghai will still increase! So, take advantage of this moment and hurry up to Shanghai, just in time to grab a hat! ”

Grab a hat, this was originally a term in the exchange. In recent years, it has been popular among Nanzhong businessmen in the trading market. In the early days of securities and futures trading, traders shouted and traded in the trading pool, using gestures and shouting loudly to quote, so those traders who speculated in the short-term in the day had to keep raising their hands to quote, and the situation was like a group of people reaching out to grab a hat (of course, there was no hat in the air), so the method of intraday short-term trading was called "grabbing a hat". In other words, Wei Guangzheng's principal was a good candidate at the Shanghai Stock Exchange, so he had the money to marry Yao Yecheng and chase Chen Jieru in Shanghai, and he went back to his hometown to repair his mother's grave. Of course, you will eventually encounter tigers when you go up the mountain, and you will always meet ghosts when you walk too much at night. In the end, he ended his short but glorious financial practice with bankruptcy and debts. Take Chen Jieru south to Guangzhou to join the vigorous national revolutionary movement! This financial practice laid a solid theoretical and practical foundation for him, and eventually turned the citizens of the Republic of China into billionaires by any person. By the way, Chen Jieru is quite popular in the Whampoa department, and the director of the Political Department of the Whampoa Military Academy has called her Mrs. Jiang all his life when he talks about her.

Under this emotion, I don't know how many people chant loudly "Youth is a good companion to return to their hometown", thinking of the grass and trees in their hometown, the scenery of mountains and rivers, and I don't know how many people are drunk. In the middle of the night, in the streets and alleys, there are still groups of people coming out of the restaurant and tea shop, drunk cheering all the way.

There were even officials who came all the way from Nanjing to Long, shouting the slogan of "recovering Nanjing, eating zongzi, and crossing the Yellow River for the New Year." This kind of thing naturally will not be in the court, and can only be used as an inspiring sentence after dinner.

However, in the imperial court, some people have begun to plan the list of rewards and knighthoods for meritorious soldiers.

Within a few days, detailed military reports from the front followed.

"Kill the pseudo-rebel slave chief Bolo!"

"Capture thousands of pseudo-Eight Banner soldiers and horses!"

"Kill and capture tens of thousands of rebel soldiers and horses!"

"The army has recovered Songjiang and other places!"

"The commander of Zhaoyang County led the sailors in the first battle outside Wusongkou, and in the second battle in the Huangpu River, annihilating all the ships of the rebel sailors! Now, on the river, our ships are coming and going! ”

"Shi Lang, the commander of the water division, led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to besiege Hangzhou, and the rebel Yue Le's department can't support it, and Hangzhou will be recovered in a few days!"

In the direction of Songjiang Prefecture, the news of victory has already come, and everyone has been vaccinated. Now that the direction of Hangzhou is just around the corner, how can it not be more exciting? The east and west roads are connected to the famous city, the trend of sweeping the south of the Yangtze River has been completed, in the direction of Suzhou, there are thousands of soldiers and horses in Chabaidi who are fighting with the Qing army, as long as the Dajun horse recovers Hangzhou and sends a brigade of divisions to go, you can be in the cooperation of the Zha Jizuo Department, the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou, the essence of the south of the Yangtze River is all in the bag.

At this time, almost everyone ignored the origin of the tens of thousands of horses under Shi Lang. The officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, together with the scribes, quietly typed a draft for the knighthood of the soldiers and horses of the two armies, so as not to panic at the time. In their plan, all the battalion officers and above in the two groups of people will be rewarded. From lieutenants to viscounts, barons, and counts. The difference is also whether it is hereditary or just for personal enjoyment. The highest is Li Huabao's, the marquis, hereditary replacement, the wife as the wife, and the son of Yin as the commander of the Jinyi Guard. As for Shi Lang, he will wait until Hangzhou is recovered. However, the commanders of these two armies, including Li Huamei, Li Huabao, and Shi Lang, are just the husband and wife of Li Huamei, Li Huabao, and Shi Lang, and they are all cheap and not lagging behind. There are less than three people, the commanders of each town, and the commanders of each brigade, basically all of them sit in a row and divide the fruits, and they all have the title of baron and viscount.

With the arrival of good news one by one, coupled with the approaching time of the exam, there are more and more students inside and outside Fuzhou. These people gathered in one place, in addition to pointing out the poetry and literature of the country, it is a poetry and wine assembly, and they have to discuss the current situation, and imagine how our generation can wave the pen to calm the world and talk and laugh after high school.

Of course, poetry and wine and romance are indispensable. What's more, now that there is a room and board allowance provided by the marshal, everyone does not have to worry about food and clothing. For a time, all the businesses of Lin Da's shopkeeper were in and out of a green shirt, with wide sleeves and soap strips.

They have eaten and drunk with each other, prostitutes together, met each other sincerely, and have all kinds of friendships with classmates and fellow villagers, and they will inevitably help each other in the officialdom in the future. This kind of thing, naturally, everyone is mysterious when they do it, not enough friendship with each other, or the endorsement of classmates and classmates, and will never share this kind of thing related to the lives of the poor and rich with you. (Just kidding, there are so many places, I gave you the exam questions, and when you turn around, you won my name and fell to Sun Shan, wouldn't you be wronged?!) ）

One pass three, three pass ten. Ten people know, and basically the whole world knows. Soon, this exam question, which is said to have been drawn up by Huang Daozhou, a scholar of the first auxiliary university in the cabinet, was placed in front of Huang Laofuzi.

At first glance, these three questions are very similar. The main factors of the imperial examination such as Jingyi and interception are all there. However, looking carefully, especially for people like Huang Daozhou, who have experienced the imperial examination, fought all the way from the pen array, and have been candidates and examiners, these three scriptures are very strange! Not only is it wonderful, but it also contains evil intentions!

The first name said: Mrs. Jun's yang desire, the second name said: Wang quickly issued an order, and the third name said that the second and third sons had no king.

A question: Mrs. Jun's impotence desire is a truncated question. Mrs. Jun is the wife of the sixteenth state monarch of the Analects Ji clan, and she is also called Mrs. Jun by foreigners. Then turn the page to the seventeenth, Yang Xiang wants to see Confucius. After that, Yu Yue pinched his head and went to the end, and Mrs. Jun had a male desire. Yang goods want to see Confucius, Confucius is not seen, feed Confucius porpoise. Confucius died when he died, and worshiped him. When encountering all kinds of roads, Confucius said: "Come, give and say", "Cherish its treasure and be fascinated by its state, can it be described as benevolent?" He said, "No." "It's good to do it and it's wise to lose it?" He said, "No." "The sun and the moon are gone, and the years are not with me." Confucius said: "No, I will be the general." "Yang goods are the retainers of Ji Pingzi, the doctor of Lu State at that time, surnamed Yang Hu, because he once recruited Kong Qiu as an official, so the words in the Analects are not named to show respect. However, if you haven't read the Analects, you will definitely think crooked at the first time when you see the word yang, and with the lady Jun in front, it is estimated that you will think even more crookedly.

The second way of the king's quick order, from Mencius Liang Hui Wang, the original text is the king's quick order, against its Ni, stop its heavy weapon, seek to Yan Zhong, put the king and then go to it, then it can still reach the branch. Originally, it was the Qi State that caused the interference of the countries, and then the King of Qi Xuan summoned Meng Ke to inquire about countermeasures, Meng Ke fooled the matter of benevolence and government, and the king quickly issued an order, contrary to his Ni, stopped his heavy weapons, and plotted against the Yan people, and then left the king and then went to it, then it was still possible to say that the king quickly ordered the captured Yan country old and young to be put back, stop carrying the treasures of Yan State, and discuss with the nobles of Yan State to set up a new Yan State monarch and withdraw the troops, so that the princes will not intervene with arms.

The third way, the second and third sons, why is there no king, and I have no king. It is also from Mencius, which was originally the content of Meng Ke's conversation with Teng Wengong in Teng State, and the original text was Teng Wengong asked: "Teng, small country also; If you do your best to serve a great country, you will not be exempt. What if so? Mencius said: "The great king of the past lived in the past, and the Di people invaded it." Things are not exempt from leather coins; Dogs and horses are not avoided. Things are not exempt from being spared; It belonged to his elders and said, 'Whatever the Di people want, my land also.'" I also heard it: A gentleman does not harm others by raising others. The second and third sons are so troubled that there is no king! I'm going to go there. 'Go to the city, go beyond the Liang Mountain, and live under the Qi Mountain. The people said: 'Benevolence is also not to be lost.' 'Whoever follows it is like returning to the city. Or say: 'The world is guarded, it is not what the body can do, and do not go to death: 'Please choose between the two.' "I also heard it: A gentleman does not harm others by raising others. The second and third sons are so troubled that there is no king! I translate it to what I have heard: A gentleman does not have to do harm to others with the things that are offered to mankind. Why are you worried about not having a monarch? I'm going to get out of here! The original intention was not to betray the country, but after being pinched by Yu Yue so much, he became the second or third son, why should there be no king, and combined with the king in front of him, it is easy to think of the anti-king quickly ordered a rebellion, don't worry about not having an emperor, I am. The first question uses meat jokes to ridicule the most holy Wenxuan king, and the second and third questions pretend to use the name of Yasheng to bewitch the scholars and seek rebellion

"Shameless! Damn it! ”

These three remodeled and secretly changed the concept of the scriptures and meaning exam questions, so angry that the old master of the zodiac Zhou stood upside down, and he only gasped for breath in his mouth. At present, although there is good news from the front, the Qing army has suffered heavy losses, but the remaining capital is still in the hands of the Qing army, half of the south of the Yangtze River, and the Ming Dynasty is only half at most. Moreover, all over Jiangbei, there are many warlords who are motley armed and self-respecting, and there are a lot of people who are all kinds of kings and hegemons, and they do not listen to the propaganda, and they are all on both sides of the army. Do you want the king to quickly order everyone to rebel together?

Several of his proud disciples, Cai Chunluo, Lai Jijin, Zhao Shichao and Mao Yujie, were also angry when they were standing or sitting in the teacher's study.

"This is obviously someone with ill intentions, but he put the black cauldron on the top of Mr.'s head!"

"Exactly! Be sure to dig this person up! Ming Zhengcanon! ”

"What kind of intentions does this man have? Obviously, the imperial court has restored the old system of the Tang and Song dynasties in accordance with the general's intentions to arrange this exam, why did someone come up with such an exam question to make trouble? ! What is his purpose? ”

Zhao Shichao was stunned for a long time, and suddenly spoke, but his words frightened several people in the study and almost escaped through the window!

"Sir, a few senior brothers, from the point of view of the students, I am afraid that this matter is related to the people in the shogunate! Although the general was born in the army, he was proficient in military affairs and was old in government affairs. However, there were not many people in the shogunate who were familiar with the imperial examinations, and it was also a simple move to come up with such a specious examination question. Moreover, at present, the general has the merit of supporting the heavens, and he has the great victory of helping the crisis and the difficulty, and the people below will inevitably have the idea of supporting the establishment, so that they can become the heroes of the founding of the country from now on. ”

"Otherwise, I won't say anything about the king's quick order, this is clearly to tell the world's scholars, don't worry about no emperor, I am the emperor! This move is to follow Zhao Gao's example of pointing a deer as a horse to test people's hearts, and at the same time, it is also blowing the wind to the world's scholars and telling them who you want to choose. ”

"Even if the Shogun himself didn't know about it, it was an important figure in his shogunate who was in the middle of the command and planning. Sir, on weekdays, you teach us to stand between heaven and earth with a heroic and righteous spirit, but today the students are speculating with the heart of a villain, please punish Mr. ”

Zodiac Zhou's back was covered with cold sweat. I couldn't speak for a long time. He sat down in his chair, but he felt like he had no strength in his body. At this time, if everyone in Xingyuan put the yellow robe on Li Shouhan's body, he and his family and disciples would not even be able to get out of the mansion!

"Sure enough, sure enough! Sure enough, it's a good means! The old man only now knows why he wants to take the imperial examination, why he wants to change the form of the imperial examination, and let anyone take the examination. Sure enough, it's a good means! ”

After sending away a few disciples, Huang Daozhou kept roaring in his heart.
