Chapter 134: The Poet Thief (1)

Chapter 134 The Poet Thief 1

It has been more than a month since Zhang Renfa's rebellion and the Qixiashan poetry case. 【Latest chapter reading. Under the personal command of Wang Yun, Zhang Renfa's rabble was pacified in only half a month, Zhang Renfa exterminated the nine tribes, Liao Jusu exterminated the three tribes, and the people who looked at the scenery were wiped out regardless of their crimes, and the rebellious officials and scholars were all wiped out, and the entire Jiangnan suddenly lost its voice.

Immediately afterwards, in the poetry nunnery of Qixia Mountain, Pan You was sentenced to be beheaded for the crimes of colliding with the prince, making disrespectful words, rebelling, and slandering the court.

After this news came out, Jiangnan Shilin, who had never been very cooperative, exploded all of a sudden. According to a well-informed person within the Criminal Department, the evidence is lacking, and after layers of circles, the suspect can only be identified among the six people, Xu Kai Brothers, Pan You, Zhou Weijian, Zhang Yi, and Wu Qiao. Although this person doesn't know who it is, it must be one of these six people, so Jiangnan Shilin is in a mess, some reprimand Erxu, some accuse Zhang Yi, as for the celebrities who were released in front, they were even more despised by some people in Jiangnan Shilin, thinking that they had no backbone and betrayed the hero of the poem, if it weren't for their testimony, how could this Wu Hong old dog suddenly narrow down the scope to Xu Kai brothers, Pan You, Zhou Weijian, Zhang Yi, and Wu Qiao.

At the same time, the story about Li Jing's lust and inferiority to beasts also began to spread among the people, and readers naturally didn't believe it, but they didn't dare to stand up directly to refute the rumors, how did "Pan You" die, but because he remembered the old master and ridiculed the king when he wrote the poem? If you stand up to refute the rumors, then you may be deducted from a rebellious hat, which will be a clan annihilation. It has spread within the Chu State, and it doesn't matter much if this person criticizes and ridicules the state politics, at most it is an exile, but if he has the old master in his heart, he can directly link the rebellion, and the rebellion is at least to destroy the three clans!

So, when some people asked the local readers with a questioning mentality, saying whether Li Jing's lust was true, the readers often snorted twice, slapped their butts and left, and under the impetus of the well-intentioned people, all of a sudden the common people believed it. Of course, the scholars in Jiangnan are not stupid, they naturally know that these gossips must have been released by people in the government, so they despise the government even more in their hearts, but this nostalgia for their homeland can only be suppressed in their hearts, and they can no longer say that Li Tang is good to the people, because the people have already decided that Li Jing is a scumbag, and this bird emperor should have stepped down a long time ago!

The scholars in Jiangnan were so depressed.

After a while, the king of Chu officially issued an edict that this year's Enke will be opened in July and the provincial examination will be held in November. This news has been widely spread in the jurisdiction of the Chu State, and for the scholars in Jingnan and Lingnan, it is one more chance to be plain, and for the scholars in Jiangnan, the reaction is a little different, first of all, in the past, those who were selected in the Li Tang examination, whether it were the people or champions, were all abolished, if you want to be a knife and pen officer, these unpopular officials, then you don't need to take the exam, if you want to be an official, I'm sorry, please take the exam, the provincial exam and the palace exam, otherwise you will go into hiding.

The scholars in Jiangnan are a little contradictory, this participation, always feel a little awkward, in the two months when Li Tang just died, everyone still cherished their homeland, and many people swore an oath together, vowing not to cooperate. However, after four months, everyone found that it was not a matter of a moment at all, first of all, some highly respected people, such as Jiang Wenwei, directly surrendered to the state of Chu, and also became a big official like Shang of the Ministry of Rites. There are also some big families, such as the Zhong family, who have also taken refuge in the Chu State, and they have become prosperous in the Chu State regime. Everyone's minds are a little more lively, plus internal information: this time, Dabi is likely to expand the recruitment. In the past, after an exam, a maximum of dozens of people were recruited, and in one time, the palace examination may be expanded to about 200 people, and after these 200 people come out, the lowest and lowest is also a county from the seventh grade! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You think, how many people are read in the country, but only a few dozen people are selected at a time, how difficult it must be. The scholars in Jiangnan hesitated, and gradually began to differentiate.

Of course, they are also divided into blocks, for example, Huainan's reading lively's acceptance of the Chu regime is much higher than that of Jiangnan Xidao. Why is that? You must know that the Chu army did not fight a single battle in Huainan, but in Jiangnan West Road, it successively fought the Battle of Ezhou, the Battle of Jianchang, the Battle of Hongzhou, the Battle of Raozhou, the Battle of Xuanzhou, the Battle of Jinling, and two large-scale water battles. It stands to reason that the Chu army of Jiangnan West Province is even more prestigious.

This is all because of the economic situation, Li Tang before the economic collapse, it should be said that it is a rare rich country in the south of the Yangtze River, but this rich country is not full of gold, relatively speaking, the life of the people of Huainan is far better than that of Jiangnan West Road, because Jiangnan West Road is mostly hilly and not suitable for farming. Even in the 21st century, Jiangxi Province is not the poorest province in the south-central and southeastern regions.

The people of Huainan lost the most in the economic collapse of Li Tang and benefited the most from the new policy of Chu, so they were also the most grateful to Dade, so even among the scholars with Huainan, there were many people who gradually changed their concepts. And Jiangnan West Road is completely different, this place is poor, no matter how poor can they be, they are less troubled by economic collapse, and the new policy of Chu State, for them, there is little help, that is to say, they don't feel the difference between this Chu State and Li Tang at all, therefore, the scholars of Jiangnan West Road still have a good impression of Li Tang, and they are also in a state of resistance to Chu State. It's just that the Chu army is so powerful that they only dare to move their mouths.

When entering June, Huainan has received a rare bumper harvest this year, and Jiangnan West Road has frequent disasters and famines. In addition, a few old stubborn and old hermits in Li Tang's academic circles, like Liu Dong and Ouyang Guang, are all cats in Jiangnan Xidao, one lives in seclusion in Lushan, the other lives in seclusion in Jizhou, and often writes some sad poems to lament sadness, and occasionally complains.

And unlike the situation in Huainan, the economic and military importance of the Huainan region makes the public opinion there tightly controlled by the Chu State, and in Jiangnan West Road, because there are so many old stubborn blockers, intimidation and intimidation, and fear of being scolded, so there seems to be another voice in Jiangnan West Road, where the sad tone of the lost country is very strong, but people are specially sent to investigate, but they can't find out.

Although there are such and such problems, but on the whole, the recent period has been quite stable.

On this day, Ma Yun, who had nothing to do, took his wife Zhang Qian, Zhao Jingniang, and Peng Shuang out to go shopping together. Jinling's Ziliu Street is always so lively, with many shops, pedestrians rubbing shoulders one after another, shouting and bargaining, and the sound of bargaining is endless.

Zhao Jingniang and Peng Shuang are both coming to Jinling for the first time, and they are also very curious about the local rare items in the south of the Yangtze River. It was really time-consuming for a group of people to stop and go shopping.

"Qian'er, has your sister come to the palace to see you recently?" Ma Yun asked casually, he asked Zhang Qian's sister if she didn't have any long-looking heart for Shu and what sisters wanted to fly. The key is Zhang Qian's sister's husband, but he is Li Tang's old minister of the two dynasties, and Zhou Zong, who has a lot of influence. Jiang Wenwei, the most famous of Li Tang's officials, is a northerner, he was in the Li Tang regime, originally out of a place where he was excluded, Li Yu was still very important to him when he was there, and when Li Jing arrived, he had already stepped aside, so Jiang Wenwei surrendered so simply. Zhou Zong is a native of Jiangnan, and Zhou Zong is a man and upright, and he is very respected by the scholars. If Zhou Zong is dragged into the Chu regime, then the impact on Jiangnan Shilin will be even greater.

Zhang Qian shook her head and said, "Since I came to Jinling, I heard my mother say that my sister's family lives on the outskirts of Jinling and never leaves Zhuangzi. And no contact with outsiders! Hehe, do you want my brother-in-law to come out and do things for our Dachu! I'm afraid it's difficult, he's a dead brain, and he looks like he's grateful and grateful, and he's brainy, this ...... It's hard. ”

Speaking of Zhou Zong, for some reason, Ma Yun immediately thought of the famous "Big and Small Zhou Hou", Ma Yun asked: "The Li family moved west, is the marriage between the Zhou family and the Li family about to be annulled?" ”

Zhang Qian was stunned for a moment, she shook her head, according to Zhou Zong's personality, I am afraid that she will not easily cancel the marriage contract: "What?" Do you want to socialize with your sister's family? Do you want Yoon-woo to marry your sister's eldest daughter? ”

"Fellowship?" Ma Yun was stunned, he laughed: "I'm just asking casually", after this week, beautiful is beautiful, but my sons may not be able to stop them. The reason why Li Yu died in the country, he didn't work hard is one thing, and this big and small week is also an important factor, it is said that these two are extremely extravagant, and especially clingy, the big man does things, there is always a woman behind him, how can this work, not to mention that this woman is still a lovely beauty. and thou shalt marry, and not give to a son.

Zhang Qian's eyes rolled: "Isn't it friendship?" Hum...... Do you still want to keep it for yourself? ”
