This time the imperial examination case had a great impact on Tang Bohu, he dissected himself in detail in the "Book with Wen Zhengming" to his friend Wen Zhengming, who lived "above the southeast scribes", and because of the case of the imperial examination, he suddenly became a character who was "deserved by all evils" and was "pointed at and spit on".

This is just as Zhu Yunming said in the epitaph written for Tang Bohu: "There are outstanding heroes, and people are more ruined without thinking; There is a talent of the high world, and the world does not need to be more rejected, how should it be wronged? ”

Zhu Houzhao looked at the inscription book in his hand, sighed softly, and then said to Zhu Youjiao: "This is the excerpt handed over by Jinyiwei, saying that it is this question, and there is no evidence, but Xu Jing gave a meeting gift when he met Cheng Minzheng in Beijing and Jin, and Tang Yin also used a gold coin to beg Cheng Minzheng and send him to the township to test the main Liang Chu. ”

That's the end of this question book, and there is nothing left to write, Zhu Houzhao sighed, this Jinyi Wei commander makes a certain bin really know how to do things.

There is no substantiated evidence in the investigation of the question, this matter was not said by a certain bin, he was just a foreshadowing in front of him, because the court had investigated this matter before. In fact, the whole thing has been hidden in the fog, making it impossible to discern the truth, and the whole thing has to start with two people entering Beijing to catch the exam.

Tang Bohu is the Hongzhi Wuwu Jieyuan, and Xu Jing is the forty-first person of Hongzhi Yimao, Xu Jing is one subject earlier than Tang Bohu, and in the words of later generations, he is considered a senior.

Xu Jing had many contacts with the scribes of Wujun, and Tang Bohu was the most rebellious, and he wanted to attract attention to his talent. In the year of the end of Hongzhi, the two made an appointment to go to Beijing on the same boat. Arriving in Beijing, the guest is in charity, "Liuru is very famous, and the secretary of state invites the person who swallows in the alley." Xu Youyou has a number of children, galloping in the city from six days to the day, and everyone has attracted attention."

To put it bluntly, Xu Jing is very high-profile, a rich second-generation style, good at dancing with long sleeves in the capital, making friends with the minister, and having a great momentum.

Due to the eye-catching actions of Xu and Tang in Beijing, the three exams in the examination were over, and the rumors spread all over the city in an instant, and it was rumored that "Xu Jing, a wealthy man in Jiangyin, bribed Jin Fei to get the test questions." ”

Huke gave Shi Huachang a hasty impeachment of Cheng Minzheng, the main exam, and Xu Jing and Tang Bohu. Zhu Youzhu ordered Cheng Minzheng not to read the questions, and the papers he recorded were reviewed by Li Dongyang, a university scholar, together with other examiners, and the results proved that Xu and Tang were not admitted.

To put it bluntly, neither Tang Bohu nor Xu Jing passed the exam, and they were in vain.

What kind of questions are nonsense at all, if you can get the exam questions in advance, can you fail the exam as Tang Bohu Nanzhili Township Test Xie Yuan? The key problem is that this solution is that he didn't get in, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't! You must know that Nanzhili is a very fierce place for the Ming Imperial Examination, similar to the college entrance examination province in later generations.

This big province is not just competing in the province, it is to be put outside to compete with the whole country, and the provincial champion like Tang Bohu did not get in, I am afraid that there is something wrong here.

However, this matter is not the key, the key point of this matter is money, Cheng Minzheng accepted Xu Jing's money, this is certain, but according to Xu Jing, he is asking for an epitaph for his grandfather, who has been deceased for many years. Regardless of whether Cheng Minzheng had selfish intentions after receiving the money, Xu Jing's purpose was very clear, that is, to be close to Cheng Tao, and also to have a relationship with Li Dongyang, and ask for an epitaph for his long-deceased grandfather Xu Yi.

Xu Jing also said that when he came to Beijing, Mu Minzheng was knowledgeable, and he sought to learn from the currency, and occasionally talked about the three questions that could be written.

To put it bluntly, when Xu Jing came to the capital, he admired Cheng Minzheng and asked, took the money to apprentice, and then talked about where the test questions of this subject might come from.

Zhu Houzhao looked up and down the whole process of the case, no matter how you look at it, you are a gentleman who entered the imperial examination in Beijing, what are you doing at home when you go to other people's exams? also sent money, Tang Bohu also followed, and asked for Cheng Minzheng's article for his master, this thing is simply fatal.

Seeing his father looking at the excerpts, Zhu Houzhao was not in the mood to continue looking at the excerpts, but turned his head to look at his father.

Zhu Houzhao wanted to know how his father would deal with this matter, Jin Yiwei's question book was very clear, there was no problem, this was the general direction, because Tang Bohu and Xu Jing were not successful, and this is reasonable. However, Jin Yiwei also gave other inappropriate places later, and the emperor also had a name for dealing with it.

To put it bluntly, the emperor can do whatever he wants, Jinyiwei has found all the reasons, and things are done very properly.

Historically, it is based on the fact that there is no evidence, and when Xu Jing entered Beijing and Jin to see Cheng Minzheng, he gave a meeting gift, and Tang Yin also used a gold coin to beg Cheng Minzheng for a letter, and sent the township to test the seat of the main Liang Chu, both of whom were expelled from the official status, and the county government was a small official. Cheng Minzheng dismissed the official and returned home, Hua Chang sat down to act untruthfully, and was demoted. A big prison in the field ended the case with 50 boards each.

After Cheng Minzheng returned home, he died of anger and gangrene, Tang Yin was ashamed, and after returning home, the husband and wife turned against each other, divorced his wife, and was passive and decadent.

After Xu Jing added Wucheng, he read books behind closed doors and wrote "Ben Sense Collection" to clarify his aspirations. After Zhu Youzhang's death, Xu Jing looked forward to the pardon of the new emperor and hoped to return to the imperial examination. In the following year, in the name of Mu Sima Qian's Qi, Lu, Yan, and Zhao Zhuangyou, he went north to Beijing to listen to the news, but because of the frustration in the field, his physique became worse day by day, and he was tired of the journey.

After a long time, Zhu Youzhu put down the question book in his hand, looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked, "What does the emperor think about this matter?" ”

"Naturally, we have to find out!" Zhu Houzhao said on the side: "The ceremony of picking talents and winning talents for the country, of course, is to be fair, just and open, otherwise how to calm the hearts of the people in the world?" Check, check to the end, and never tolerate it. ”

Looking at his son's appearance, Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but be angry, when did this stinky boy learn these vain things?

However, Zhu Houzhao sounded one thing, that is, after King Ning learned of Tang Bohu's name, he sent someone to recruit Tang Bohu, and then Tang Bohu found out that King Ning was rebellious again, so Tang Bohu pretended to be crazy and was actually released by King Ning, which is true.

It can be seen that Tang Bohu is not only unique in poetry and painting, but also very talented, first of all, he can sense that King Ning is going to rebel, it may be that King Ning said it to him, but it is unlikely, otherwise King Ning will not send him away. The second is that he can pretend to be crazy and deceive King Ning, which shows that he also has a heart.
