The Criminal Department took Jiang Ying, a student of Guozi Prison, away in shackles in front of everyone's eyes, which had a great impact on many scholars in Guozi Prison...... This is not an official yet, so I will give you a dismount first!

Back in the dormitory, Sun Xiliang sat there, looking a little sluggish, obviously he didn't expect to enter the Guozijian to study, and he would risk going to prison if he wrote to the imperial court.

There were people outside who were agitating in tandem, and it turned out that there were still prisoners who were not afraid of death, and they were ready to jointly write a letter again, asking the court to release Jiang Ying.

There are those who are afraid of death, and there are those who are not afraid of death, and the scholars are already temperamental, and they are the most likely to be provoked and used by others.

Jiang Ying's impeachment of the cabinet scholars, if the emperor felt that it was wrong, he issued a decree to reprimand two sentences, why should such a student who could be seen to be "guilty of a straightforward admonition" be imprisoned, doesn't this make the world's scholars chill?

The joint petition is also in progress, and if it is not for the prisoners, they cannot leave the heavily guarded Guozijian, or they are also preparing to contact relatives and friends to join the ranks of admonishing the Son of Heaven.

Sun Xiliang went out to take a look, and when he came back, he asked cautiously, "Brother Shen, should we sign it too?" ”

Shen Xi took the book and replied casually: "What good is it for people to speak lightly?" Don't worry, someone will save him! ”

"Who?"

Sun Xiliang asked, but he couldn't get Shen Xi's answer.

Shen Xi didn't plan to tell Sun Xiliang that Liu Jian and Li Dongyang would ignore their previous suspicions and rescue Jiang Ying, who was convicted of impeaching them.

In fact, it's very simple to think about it, you are a famous minister, the first and second assistant ministers of the cabinet, and you are guilty of seeing the same as a student of the country?

Small punishment and big commandment, let him sit in prison for two days and learn some lessons, just don't have nothing to do in the future!

If there is really anything wrong with this Jiang Ying, not to mention that your reputation of Liu Jian and Li Dongyang is seriously damaged, even the emperor's face can't be hung up.

Emperor Hongzhi sent Jiang Ying to prison, in fact, to appease Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, and to show the emperor's favor for his courtiers.

You see. I've put all the people who impeached you in jail, I respect and trust you, right? But I offended the scholars of the world by doing this, so you can't get acquainted with each other, come and ask Jiang Ying for mercy. Everyone is harmonious and harmonious, so that the world can praise our court for being united, united and harmonious?

Shen Xi didn't care about this matter, because history was originally interpreted like this, who are Liu Jian and Li Dongyang. Can't even understand such a superficial intention of the emperor?

The next day, Shen Xi was ready to pack up his mood and go home, thinking that the delicate and lovely Lin Dai was waiting for him to go back at home, Shen Xi was full of expectations.

Because he could treat his stomach when he went home, Shen Xi didn't even go to the cafeteria for lunch, and when the school time came in the afternoon, even Sun Xiliang didn't care about calling, and went directly to the dormitory to pack up his baggage and prepare to leave.

After the gate of Guozijian was opened, Sun Xiliang brought in his servants to help him pack his things. But he stood beside Shen Xi's bed and asked, "Where does Shen Gongzi live?" There is time to visit. ”

Shen Xi said: "When I first arrived in the capital, I just found a place to settle down, if you really want to find it, just go to the Dongsheng Inn, there are servants staying there, they will inform me of the matter." ”

Sun Xiliang thought for a while and asked, "Didn't Shen Gongzi stay in the inn?" ”

Most of the candidates who enter the capital choose to stay in the guest house, and every time they take the exam, candidates from all over the world gather in Beijing. This housing is quite tight, and inns of all sizes in the capital will be full. Some families will simply renovate their houses and rent them out for candidates to live in. Shen Xi replied: "Living in a private house, I signed a long-term contract!" ”

Sun Xiliang was relieved. said with a smile: "Yes, Shen Gongzi was promoted to Taixue at a young age, and the family will definitely send someone to take care of daily life." Then I will visit my brother for another day. ”

Shen Xi packed up his things, then said goodbye to Sun Xiliang and went to the gate of Guozi Prison, and on the way, he met some prisoners who gathered together to talk about Jiang Ying's imprisonment.

Despite the fierce commotion yesterday. Many people shouted for the book, but now the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not dare to touch the mold, and the imperial historians shrank their heads one by one as turtles, and there were fewer people who forwarded the recital for them. Although the supervisor of Guozixue has a certain status, after all, even the principal is only from the fourth grade, and the level is too low, and the book cannot reach the heavens directly. In the end, the big guys just shouted slogans, and no one put them into practice.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Taixue, Shen Xi caught a glimpse of Su Tong waiting at the door with a small servant. I haven't seen him for a few days, Su Tong is in good spirits, obviously he has been living a good life in the capital these days.

"Brother Shen, I've been waiting for you for a long time...... How about it, there must be no oil and water in the stomach, let's go, take you to a good meal. ”

Su Tong probably knew that the food in Guozi Prison was average, and the first thing he did when he saw Shen Xi was to help Shen Xi improve his life, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Shen Xi's sleeve.

Shen Xi smiled bitterly and pointed to the burden on his shoulder, and said, "At least wait for me to send the things back, right?" ”

Su Tong smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, let the little guy send you back to the inn, just take it with you when you go back, why take the wrong road?" ”

Shen Xi originally wanted to see Lin Dai earlier, but how to say that he was also a newlywed, but after thinking about it again, he was not even newly married, so where did this victory come from?

However, he didn't eat at noon, and Shen Xi was indeed hungry, so he handed over the burden to the little servant and went to the nearest wine shop with Su Tong.

"Brother Shen, there was an incident in Guozi School yesterday, have you heard of it?" As soon as he arrived at the wine shop, he sat down and couldn't wait to ask.

Needless to say, it was Jiang Ying's imprisonment, Shen Xi was in the Guozi Prison, how could he be later than Su Zhidao?

Shen Xi said: "When the Criminal Department took people yesterday, I was there. ”

Su Tong shook his head and sighed: "Look at this trouble, the capital is boiling today, you say that the dignified students of the country, what is wrong with admonishing people?" ended up like this, this is to block the way of speech......"

Although Jiang Ying's impeachment of the cabinet scholars is purely beyond his means, he is still highly praised in the tide of public opinion.

Moreover, in the thinking of scholars, it has always been "the speaker is not guilty", and if he is convicted for his words, such a court is not worthy of support. Public opinion generally fell to Jiang Ying, but this time he made a name for him in disguise, and his goal of being in the limelight was finally achieved.

Shen Xi drank a cup of tea and said disapprerovingly: "Don't worry, it won't take a few days to come out." ”

Su Tong thought so, and said with a smile: "I think so, the court is at most a small punishment and a big commandment, how can you really be embarrassed by the scholars?" This year coincides with the trial year, and there are more and more moves in the capital, if the appeasement is not good, I am afraid that there will be chaos. Oh yes, Brother Shen, I'm afraid you don't know, in the days when you entered the country to study, Tang Yin and Xu Jing simply regarded the capital as the back garden of their home, that flying and domineering ......"

High-profile, it is Tang Yin's character, originally when Zhu Zhishan was invited, Shen Xi had a good chance to meet this historical celebrity, but before the exam, Shen Xi didn't want to have a relationship with Tang Yin too early.

If he ends up like Tang Yin, he can only be in love with mountains and rivers for half his life, which is contrary to Shen Xi's original intention of entering Beijing. In these years, only being an official will have a future.

"What do you mean?" Shen Xi asked along with the words.

Su Tong sighed: "Xu Jing and Tang Yin went to visit Cheng Lao Lang's house again, and after they came back, they invited the scholars to a banquet, and talked about it in the banquet, saying that Cheng Lao Lang appreciated their talents and learning, and personally commented on their articles, which were praised as superior." Hey, this is not a sincere attempt to lose the face of the world's scholars, it seems that they have already ranked first without taking the test, waiting to win the top list. ”

"You went too?"

"I didn't go, I thought that this Tang Yin had a lot of ability, and he could win the first place in the talent-rich Ying Tianfu Township Examination, who knew that he was such an arrogant person, and it was better not to make friends with this kind of person. However, some people say that perhaps the imperial court will change the main examination of the Ministry of Rites because of this......"

Shen Xi didn't say anything, at this time, it was most important to remain silent. Subsequently, Su Tong ordered a few drinks and dishes, poured tea for Shen Xi in person, and told Shen Xi about what he had seen and heard in the capital during this time, mainly when he participated in the literary meeting with the people who came to the capital to participate in the examination.

For example, which candidate in Huguang has both ability and political integrity, or the candidate in Yuyao may be on the list, as he spoke, Su Tong suddenly mentioned a person whose name Shen Xi had heard of, Wang Shouren.

“…… If you don't know, you think that you went to Beijing to participate in the martial arts test, but you said that there are many people who went to the capital to participate in the martial arts test this year. ”

Because the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty have not formed a rule, it is not as formal as the literati's examination.

But after all, since the sixth year of Hongzhi, the rule of holding a martial arts examination every six years has been followed, and the Kyoshi Rite Department Wenhui Examination is held in February, and the Wuhui Examination is in March, a month before and after.

Compared with the nearly 10,000 people who participated in the Wenhui Examination, and there were 300 people who were admitted, the number of participants in the Wuhui Examination was dwarfed.

There are not many people who have martial arts and fame, but the number of people admitted is quite a lot, which makes the martial arts not very valuable, and many people can only hang a post in the military department, and wait for the official to be sent in the future, but they usually have no chance with the officialdom for a lifetime.

Like Jiang Liwei, after winning the martial arts, he can reach the fourth or fifth rank within a few years, which is very rare.

When he was about to finish eating, Su Tong took out another invitation to the Wenhui.

Because Shen Xi is the Xie Yuan of the Fujian Township Test, many people want to see Shen Xi's talent and learning, so as to judge whether this Fujian Township Trial Xie Yuan has the possibility of being the top student in high school, and there are many people who invite Shen Xi to the Literary Society.

But before, Shen Xi either lived in a simple place, or entered Taixue to study, and had no time to come out to participate in the literary meeting, becoming the least appearance and the most mysterious one among the provincial and township test Xie Yuan last year.

"Brother Shen, I know that you have worked hard to learn, but you have to participate in this literary meeting, it is some of my newly made friends who have learned amazingly, and invited Hanlin to come and comment on the article." Su Tong was afraid that Shen Xi would excuse himself again, so he had to say in a pleading tone.

"Okay."

Shen Xi responded casually, and then put the invitation into his arms, anyway, there are still two days before the Wenhui that Su Tong said, and then find a way to shirk it.

Shen Xi and Su Tong returned to the Dongsheng Inn together, and before they arrived at the door of the inn, they saw many people gathered together, and the crowd cheered from time to time. (To be continued.) )
