Chapter 681: Ti Riding Out in All Directions
Wang Chengen went back to the palace with a letter signed by Ruan Xingwen and others, and Ruan Xingwen and others found a shady place to sit down under the leadership of the palace guards.
This sitting, almost half an hour passed, and the palace was still silent, and Wang Chengen did not come again, and the atmosphere was silent for a while.
Ruan Xingwen glanced around at the many scholars around him, and forced a smile to himself: "Things have come to such a point, it's useless to think about anything else, it's better to calm down first." ”
Hu Chengyu nodded approvingly and said, "What Brother Ruan said is very true. If we don't come to the Crying Palace, we can certainly survive, but are we really willing?
Don't say that we have missed such a good opportunity, that is, our children and grandchildren, I am afraid that because of the inaction of our waiting, we will be oppressed by those who are corrupt and harm the people for generations, and the people of Annam will also suffer.
Mr. Hengqu has clouds, for heaven and earth, for the people, for the people, for the saints to continue learning, for the eternal peace.
We are waiting for this day to imitate the sages and make a life for the people, and to fight for the feast of righteous death, and this is today! ”
Ruan Xingwen said with a dark face: "Brother Hu...... Said yes. What we are doing today is to establish our hearts for heaven and earth, to establish lives for the people, and to open peace for all generations! ”
As for the sentence of righteous death in Hu Chengyu's words, it was subconsciously ignored by Ruan Xingwen.
Originally, these scholars who came with them were worried in their hearts, and suddenly they came to say a righteous death festival, but I don't know how many people will regret it in their hearts.
The atmosphere was even more silent for a while.
Hu Chengyu also knew that he was speechless, but he just laughed and stopped talking, but the palace door squeaked at this time and slowly opened.
It was Wang Chengen who came out again, and there was still a little eunuch by his side, and after he arrived in front of many scholars, Wang Chengen said: "Who is the leader of the group?" ”
I don't know whether it's good or bad, and many titles have set their sights on Ruan Xingwen and Hu Chengyu, as well as Chen Jiping.
Ruan Xingwen also had to bow down and reply: "It was the students and others who started the head." ”
Wang Chengen's face suddenly squeezed out a smile, and said dryly: "Wait for the love letter, the Son of Heaven has already read it, and now he is discussing it with all the elders in the palace, and specially ordered our family to bring three people into the palace to meet him." ”
Bet won!
These three words immediately popped up in Ruan Xingwen's heart.
As long as you can see Emperor Chongzhen and report these original civil officials and bigwigs in Annan, what can you do if these vacated places are not assigned to yourself and others?
Ruan Xingwen is confident that under the same conditions, he is sure enough to squeeze into the quota of these fifty people.
After taking a deep breath, Ruan Xingwen's attitude became more and more respectful: "There is Lao Gonggong to lead the way." ”
Wang Chengen nodded, and didn't talk much, but directly took Ruan Xingwen and others to the palace, and the little eunuch next to Wang Chengen seized this time and kept telling Ruan Xingwen and others about the etiquette they should have when they met.
After entering the palace gate, Wang Chengen stopped, and then a eunuch from the inner factory came over and conducted a strict body search for Ruan Xingwen and others, and then went to the palace again.
Wang Chengen said with a smile as he walked: "Don't mind. This body search is a necessary procedure for the first time to face the saint, and even the emperor's relatives are no exception, and it is not aimed at you. ”
Ruan Xingwen said respectfully: "Yes, students and others know." ”
Wang Chengen nodded and sighed, "It's good to know." It's better than those bastards. ”
Ruan Xingwen's heart froze, and he didn't understand what Wang Chengen meant when he said this.
When it comes to Wang Chengen's status, even if the big guys are scolding him for being a dead eunuch and a yin and yang person, but in fact?
Even if Wang Chengen did not personally supervise Dongchang, his reputation among hundreds of officials is not even comparable to Cao Huachun, but who dares to take Wang Chengen's words as a deaf ear?
Wang Chengen didn't know that his words made Ruan Xingwen turn around all his thoughts for a while.
As the shadow of Emperor Chongzhen, the palm seal of the Ming Celebrant Supervisor, every word Wang Chengen said naturally has his meaning, and there will be countless people who interpret it in various ways, in order to analyze some information from it.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Chengen is also becoming more and more taciturn, and he will not speak easily.
The emperor's trust is a grace, but he can't rely on this grace to act recklessly, and self-reflection is the way to be a slave at all times - why didn't Liu Jin have it?
It was Wei Zhongxian, although he had gained a great reputation, but because of his loyalty, he was not still living in the capital for a long time, and went to Zhongguan Village every day when he was free.
Therefore, the emperor's house slave is the best and the worst to be.
Loyal and prudent, no matter how big the notoriety is, what is it? Unlike the previous emperors, the Son of Heaven would not take his eunuchs to the thunder.
After a little further along, we came to a large hall in the palace of Annam.
It is said that it is a big hall, but it is more inferior than some side halls of the Ming Dynasty, and there is a small family atmosphere everywhere - only the wood used makes the emperors and civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty a little red.
Annan was so lucky that a lot of precious wood was wasted on the palace.
Emperor Chongzhen is summing up, should he learn from Fang Jifan and Little Pig Xiucai, and engage in real estate development in Xishan?
After all, even if he didn't have Xishan Academy, he still had the big killer of the Royal Academy in his hands.
While thinking about it, Wang Chengen had already brought Ruan Xingwen and others to meet him.
Emperor Chongzhen, whose thinking had obviously begun to deviate, also had to retract his thoughts and start the normal process of the audience.
After waiting for Ruan Xingwen and the others to finish the salute according to the etiquette taught by the little eunuch, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Qing and the others seem to be very nervous? Relax, I don't eat people. ”
Ruan Xingwen said with some stumbling: "Your Majesty, the student is overjoyed when he sees the face of heaven, and he will inevitably have some gaffes, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me?" ”
Who's in front of you? O Emperor! Alive! Compared with the emperor of the Li Dynasty, Li Weiqi is a big joke compared to the one in front of him!
Not nervous? What are you kidding, both legs are a little trembling, can you not be nervous!
It's true that your old man doesn't eat people, but your old man kills people......
Emperor Chongzhen never thought that a joke he said about not eating people in order to show his closeness to the people would make Ruan Xingwen and the others even more uneasy.
After chuckling softly, Emperor Chongzhen asked, "Is there any real evidence for what is said in the Chen Qing book?" You must know that there is no precedent for suing the official with a student in my Ming Dynasty, so you can know what this means? ”
Lai Zongdao, who was sitting on the top of the brocade pier, also spoke: "If there is real evidence, or if the accusation is true, it is fine, if it is a false accusation, it is not only a matter of waiting for yourself to suffer, but also to implicate your family." ”
Ruan Xingwen was able to hold on to his spirit so that he did not slump on the ground, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the students and others naturally have real evidence. ”
Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "If it is only based on what is said in the statement, I am afraid that it is not enough." Most of them are anecdotes, and they are not really substantiated, but do you have any other evidence? ”
Ruan Xingwen said: "Students are waiting for a certificate!" Many of his classmates can attest that those thieves have said many great rebellious things before, and this is one of them.
Second, the people inside and outside the city can prove that there are countless actions of those thieves in their homes, so that countless families are ruined and killed, and there is nowhere to redress their grievances.
Third, many of these thieves have secretly communicated with Zheng Wei, and there are also many correspondence among them, hoping that Your Majesty will be aware of it. ”
Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said with a smile: "I will naturally order someone to verify what you and others say. In addition, I have some questions that I would like to ask. ”
Ruan Xingwen should have been after that, and waited for Emperor Chongzhen to ask questions.
Emperor Chongzhen was already extremely disappointed in Ruan Xingwen and others.
The three points that Ruan Xingwen just put forward are basically, and in the network of future generations, this is a blatant act of water word counting.
After all, Ruan Xingwen didn't even come up with a strong piece of evidence, which is equivalent to doing the business of the imperial historians as a student.
It's just that politics has been filthy since the day it was born – politics never says right or wrong.
Now he needs to use the hands of Ruan Xingwen and others to cleanse the original forces in Annan, then Ruan Xingwen and others are the righteous side, and everything is justified.
When one day they don't need to borrow them, then they are the villains who deceive the Holy Hearing, and all their sins are caused by them, and they deserve a thousand cuts, and that's it.
After knocking on the table again, Emperor Chongzhen said: "You were born and grew up in Si, so you naturally know the customs and customs of Annan very well.
What I want to ask is, how are the people of Annam eating and living now? Possibly a belly wrap? Sheltered from the elements? What about culture and education? ”
Emperor Chongzhen's three questions were very simple, but Ruan Xingwen and others hesitated.
Although Annan considered himself Chinese orthodox, and even regarded the Ming Dynasty as a captive of the North, the devil knows where their self-confidence came from.
However, like the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, the readers of Annan basically belong to the kind of nerds who are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains.
As for the lives of the common people, Ruan Xingwen and others, who can read books, really haven't paid attention to it......
However, Fuzhi's soul is really not an empty word, just like the code words of later generations of online writers, the ghost knows when he will be inspired to come out with a lot of words.
Or, is it really the blessing of the ancestors?
Almost instantly, Ruan Xingwen bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the people of Annan have long been looking forward to Your Majesty coming to administer justice!" ”
Sell miserably, you must sell miserably! It is necessary to highlight the theme that the people can't live at all, and then we can highlight the justice of Emperor Chongzhen's recovery of Annan, and also highlight the justice of himself and others.
After sorting out his thoughts, Ruan Xingwen pondered and said: "Although the land of Annan is not as good as the Central Plains, Hua Tianbao, but fortunately, thanks to His Majesty's blessings, the harvest is good.
However, Zheng and Ruan are two thieves who are facing each other in the north and south, and they attack each other almost every day.
In order to raise military funds and salaries, the two thieves imposed countless taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and even though the people had some harvests in the fields, most of the people were still hungry, let alone have a shelter from the wind and rain.
As for culture and education, the students are not afraid of the jokes of His Majesty and the princes, so they will say it directly. ”
Forcibly squeezing out a tear, Ruan Xingwen continued: "The two thieves attacked each other, and the princes of the Li Dynasty also attacked each other, and no one cared about the life or death of the people.
The people are already difficult to make a living, if they are not heirlooms of poetry and books or have some surplus wealth in the family, how can they read books?
If it weren't for His Majesty's heavenly soldiers coming here, I am afraid that after more than ten years, there will be no more scholars in Annan. ”
Lai Zongdao shouted fiercely: "The thief is hateful! ”
Emperor Chongzhen snorted, waved his hand and said, "I intend to re-establish social studies in the land of Annan, so that it will be the same as other places in the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial examination will be the same, how about it?" ”
Lai Zongdao bowed down with Ruan Xingwen and the others and said, "Your Majesty is gracious!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said with a smile: "The matter of social studies, come to Aiqing and discuss with all Aiqing, and come up with a charter for me earlier."
In addition, the current matter is still the matter of the quota of the fifty national prisoners. ”
Lai Zongdao bowed and said: "Your Majesty, if it is clear that the matter is really as Ruan Xingwen said, then the fifty students who came from Annan before are all problematic, and whether they can enter the country to study still needs to be considered."
In this case, why don't you open Enke once, and take the top 50 to enter the country? ”
Emperor Chongzhen pretended to hesitate and said: "At this time, Annan has decided that it is the original intention to open Enke once. It's just that the land of Annam is not too small, and all living beings are scattered all over the place, how can they gather together for a while?
Even if all the beings rushed to participate in Enko, the time was delayed for a long time? ”
Lai Zongdao suddenly said with righteousness and awe: "Your Majesty, if the so-called name is not right, it will not be good."
If there is really a problem with the original quota, it will go against the original intention of the imperial examination, so it is better to spend some time, hold an enke in a dignified manner, select 50 outstanding students, and then order them to study in the national prison. ”
Emperor Chongzhen hummed and said: "Lai Aiqing is reasonable, Ruan Xingwen, Er and other students, what do you think?" ”
Ruan Xingwen bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the saint cloud, does not suffer from widowhood but unevenness.
The fifty places of the country's superintendents were already a gift for Annan, and all the students were looking forward to it, but those thieves secretly divided up the fifty places, misinterpreting His Majesty's good intentions, and it was because the salient people were dissatisfied.
If Your Majesty is willing to open Enke, all living beings will be able to pass the examination based on their ability, and no one will be unconvinced. ”
With a few fluttering words, he washed away the crying of these students, and easily buttoned his hat to those officials and gentry, so that Emperor Chongzhen could see the combat effectiveness of these Annan readers - basically no more than those students of the Ming Dynasty.
After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen still ordered: "Draft the edict, Jinyi Wei go and check to see how many people are secretly making ghosts." In addition, half a year later, he opened a Kaoenke here, and the top 50 were admitted to the country. ”
PS: Push the book "I have a tamamo front at home".
Another PS: Some time ago, the meat price hike activity, those guys who chose the big rooster, the first batch of 20 have been sent. The average pre-slaughter is 7.5 catties, and the net weight after slaughter is about 6 catties. The wandering chickens that grew up in the woods, as evidenced by the video in the group.
PS again: It suddenly occurred to me that pirated people can't participate in this kind of welfare activity, and my heart is suddenly quite happy.
