Emperor Chongzhen, who was disturbed by Tian Ergeng's request to see him in the middle of the night, was on fire at this time. Looking at Tian Ergeng who was kneeling on the ground, Chongzhen gradually suppressed the anger before he said lightly: "Get up and talk about it, what's the matter." ”

Tian Ergeng stood up at this time, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, today the twenty-six prisoners of the Guozijian gathered in the Chunfeng Pavilion and unanimously decided to give up the examination. ”

As soon as he heard this, before the people behind him heard it, Chongzhen's anger was already ignited, what do these bastards want to do? Collectively abandoning the imperial examination to put pressure on me?

Emperor Chongzhen, who was obviously thinking too much, simply squinted his eyes and asked, "And then?" That's it? ”

Tian Ergeng, who was taken aback by the coldness in Chongzhen's tone, hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, these twenty-six prison students plan to concentrate on teaching in the township after giving up the examination, and teach those children who can't afford to read to read and write. From then on, he no longer cared about examinations and officialdom, and only concentrated on teaching. ”

Chongzhen was slightly stunned when he heard this. Isn't this the fucking work of the Hope Project in later generations, why did someone in the Ming Dynasty start playing like this? You have to get involved in it. Inviting people to buy people's hearts, if the emperor doesn't participate, how can they do it? Even if they could, I wouldn't be able to get them up.

Thinking in his heart, Chongzhen, who was obviously starting to be interested, asked, "What about the specifics?" Tell me more about it? ”

Tian Ergeng straightened out his thoughts and said: "Your Majesty, according to the report of the Qianhu Shang Yihan of the Mao Class under Weichen, these twenty-six prisoners originally went to the Qingfeng Pavilion for recreation, and by the way, they discussed whether to take the Ming Law and Ming Arithmetic Examination and pass the Examination of the Martial Arts Subject, but I never thought that there were candidates in the middle who directly said that they wanted to participate in the Martial Arts Subject, and they would no longer take the examination to enter the Scholar Subject. ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen smiled, this matter is getting more and more interesting. Chongzhen, who was beginning to be interested in these prisoners, simply ordered Fang Zhenghua, who was guarding him, to say, "Go and send someone to retrieve the information of these twenty-six prisoners, I want to take a look." ”

Fang Zhenghua received the order and sent the fan of the inner ear factory to do this, but Chongzhen then said to Tian Ergeng: "Go on." ”

Tian Ergeng then continued: "Your Majesty, the inmate who was going to give up the Jinshi Department and take the examination for the Gewu Department was named Yi Xingzhi, whose father was beaten to death by the people who couldn't ask for it because he made a device to increase the production of three shuttle cloths. ”

Chongzhen interrupted Tian Ergeng's words and said, "Restoration Society? It's the restoration of Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai, right? ”

Tian Ergeng said: "Yes." After his father's death, Yi Xingzhi was secretly begged by his uncle to leave, and was sent to the land of Taixi to study, and only returned four years ago. Originally, I wanted to ask His Majesty for grace when the palace was examined, and went to the Royal Academy to give Master Xu a hand, but now that I heard that this Gewu Department was opened, I wanted to give up the Jinshi Department and directly apply for the Gewu Department. ”

Chongzhen sighed and said, "If it's just like this, it won't make the other twenty or so people give up Jinshike and choose to be a Mr. Xixi." You continue. ”

Tian Ergeng bowed and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." Yi Xingzhi's words were mostly resentful words for Donglin and the Fushe, and said that if the people could read and learn etiquette, his father might not have died so miserably. During this period, there was a prison student, surnamed Wang, whose name was Huaiwen, but he was quite lamented by this, and vowed on the spot to give up the imperial examination and concentrate on teaching those disciples of the common people who could not afford to read to read and write without taking a penny. ”

Looking up at Chongzhen's face, seeing that he couldn't see any joy or anger, Tian Ergeng had to bite the bullet and said: "Qingfeng Pavilion old bustard, Mao class thousands of households are still afraid that these scholars, especially Wang Huaiwen, are inviting people to buy people's hearts, so they dare not slack off, and after these prisoners disperse, they will report to Weichen, and the ministers will not dare to be specialized, which will disturb Your Majesty's rest." Thousands of deaths. ”

Chongzhen laughed softly and said to Tian Ergeng: "Okay, okay, don't say useless words like ten thousand deaths." How can I blame you for doing my errands with my heart. It's a good thing, but it's not a good thing. ”

Seeing that Tian Ergeng still looked like he was bowing down and waiting for his life, Chongzhen suddenly smiled dumbly and said, "Yes, what are I talking to you about." You go and bring this Yi Xingzhi and Wang Huaiwen to see me. In addition, see if Wen Tiren and Shi Fenglai have slept, if not, order him and the two of them to enter the palace. Furthermore, the will of the Prophet will be passed on to the day tomorrow. ”

Tian Ergeng was actually confused, and he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of these twenty-six prisoners at all. My reputation is already stinky, and I have mixed it too much, but I'm afraid that it will really become a stone in the toilet, and it stinks to the end.

It's just that the emperor has already ordered it down, and he has to do it himself. As for Wen Tiren and Shi Fenglai, Lao Tzu doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and tosses back and forth, so you can accompany him too! Don't say that I Lao Tian sold my teammates, the emperor summoned you, you two have already slept as dead pigs, and you have to get up from the bed immediately, don't you?

As a team of Jinyi Guards went to shout Wen Tiren and Shi Feng to get up, the other team of Jinyi Guards also came to the gate of Guozijian with torches.

Looking at the closed gate of Guozijian, the Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi, who opened the road in front, looked back at the hundred households leading the team. The hundred households are the people who led the team to arrest Kong Xingxie last time, since the arrest of Kong Xingxie, he really found the cool point of being a brocade guard, and waved his hand at the moment, shouting: "Smash the door for Lao Tzu and take people." ”

Now that he has received the order from the peak, the Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi is also excited. Although there are also Jinyiwei's detectives in this mother's country's prison, these bullshit prisoners have always been very high-minded, and they don't take Jinyiwei's detectives in their eyes at all. And the brocade guard detective is also very painful. These prisoners are as well-behaved as they want, they never talk about any political affairs, and they are so annoyed that they have complained to themselves many times every day.

Seeing that there was an opportunity to be angry for his brother, the little flag was also unceremonious at the moment, and banged a few times, slamming the door of the Guozijian.

After a while, the gate of the Guozijian creaked open. Menzi said sleepily: "Who, who, in the middle of the night, what is the soul called." ”

Menzi, who was uncomfortable by the torches, looked at the door, and found that it was a team of brocade guards, and even said with a smile: "Yo, all the military masters of the brocade guards, now it's time, why do you have to come to this country?" Do you want to inform my family of the sacrificial wine lord for the military master? ”

Only then did the hundred households cough, clear their throats and say: "I have an edict to take you Yi Xingzhi and Wang Huaiwen, the prisoners of the country, into the palace to see them, there is nothing else to do, you don't need to panic." ”
