Chapter 27: Benefiting the Country and the People
Fang Jinglong listened to Steward Yang's words, and frowned unconsciously, looking thoughtful.
"Moreover, the students are ...... outside," Steward Yang hesitated and continued: "I heard that this matter has spread in Shilin, and many scholars are very indignant about it, so they ......"
"Hmm......" Fang Jinglong nodded: "Scholars really can't afford to mess with them, if they are in a hurry, they will make trouble." ”
Steward Yang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "So...... Did the uncle go to the young master to talk about it? ”
"Don't look for it." Fang Jinglong's answer was very crisp.
Steward Yang was stunned: "Uncle, this ......"
Fang Jinglong squinted, and then said earnestly: "Steward Yang, you have been with the old man for so many years, and you also know that the old man is an upright person, and he has never done anything bad in his life, right?" ”
"You don't understand, the old man doesn't care, it's also for the country and the people."
For the ...... of the country For the people......
Steward Yang was cold: "Please also ask your uncle to teach you?" ”
Fang Jinglong's eyes widened: "You, you're really confused, the old man knows that you sympathize with those three scholars, but the old man's own son, don't you know?" My son was born to be a bad man! Think about it, it's not very good now, stay at home every day, don't go out of the door, don't step out of the second door, and only pit three talents, although this is not good, but it's better than letting him be idle all day long and go out to harm more people. At home, there are only three people who are killed, but when you go out, only God knows how many people you will kill. ”
"......" Steward Yang was already dumbfounded.
Fang Jinglong sighed and continued: "Don't you scholars have a saying, how can you make a family cry as crying all the way, rather than only harming three talents, but saving thousands of people from fire and water, don't you know this account?" So what, the old man doesn't care about this matter, it's a pity that the three show talents are really a pity, but it is at the expense of the three of them, benefiting the country and the people, isn't it good? Looking at the problem, we should not care about the gains and losses of one person and one place, but should look at the overall situation and be far-sighted. ”
Steward Yang actually felt that he was very cheap, and he actually felt that there was a trace of truth in his uncle's words, so he nodded subconsciously.
"That's right." Fang Jinglong sighed: "The old man is already very pleased with his current life, you see, our Fang family's fields and shops are back, not only that, but they have also increased several times compared to before; The silver in this treasury is piled up like a mountain; The son didn't know what luck he had, but he was also given a gold belt, and when the time came, the palace would have to recruit him to enter the palace as an errand, starting from a pro-army military position, and if he didn't make a mistake, it was possible to take over the old man's class. ”
Speaking of this, Fang Jinglong felt so happy that he wanted to shed tears, his red eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't help but raise his sleeves to wipe it: "This is the ancestor who is virtuous, the ancestral tomb is smoking, and the incense is burning." ”
"So......" Fang Jinglong stiffened his face: "It's a pity that the three talents are showing, but for the sake of the well-being of more people in Jingshi, I have to wronged them." ”
"......" Steward Yang felt that he was bored, it was obviously a bad thing, and now it has become a celebration of the whole world, but he felt that it made some sense, nodded again and again, and only mourned in his heart for the three Xiucai.
Ouyang Zhi and the three of them have written seven or eight essays in a row, and now they only look at the three questions of 'wealth and nobility', 'must also make no lawsuits', and 'benevolent government in the present time', and they feel disgusting.
But Fang Jifan only blindly said that their article was not good and asked them to continue to answer the questions.
They can only search their intestines and scrape their stomachs, thinking of better ways to solve the problem again and again, and again and again to put pen to paper, they have struggled from the beginning of their hearts, and then their hearts have despair, and finally they ...... Simply the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
Toss it, just toss, anyway, Jinke is definitely going to lose his name to Sun Shan, so he can only accompany his teacher to play like this.
However, this news spread to the Jingshi, and the scholars boiled the soup, and many people felt sorry for Ouyang Zhi and the others, and they were even more indignant about the other party Jifan, who was happy to toss the scholars.
Half a moon passed in a blink of an eye, and in the beginning of autumn, the weather gradually turned cooler, and the township test began.
Early in the morning, His Majesty will drive to the warm pavilion, although the township test is not better than the examination, but because this is the way to select people, for the Hongzhi Emperor who works hard and selects talents and uses energy, he is particularly important, he has a lot of expectations in his heart, and he wants to know how many talents can be produced in this branch of the North Zhili.
It is precisely because of the importance attached to this year's township examination that the chief examiner this time is Wang Ao, the secretary of the ministry.
Wang Ao, known for his honesty and integrity, and also served as the teacher of the Hongzhi Emperor, the Hongzhi Emperor attached great importance to him, and now he is in a high position, not to mention this ministry, it is not trivial, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials is known as the Heavenly Official, which means that because he controls the merits and appointments and dismissals of officials in the world, it is the most central department, as the official book, it can also be seen that the Hongzhi Emperor trusts him.
Not only that, Wang Ao's official reputation is excellent, and he has always been respected by the government and the opposition, and in the heart of Emperor Hongzhi, he presided over the Beizhili Township Test, showing the importance that the palace attaches to the Beizhili Township Test.
Today is the day of the exam, and as soon as Emperor Hongzhi arrives in the warm pavilion, a few bachelors in the cabinet have arrived.
These scholars are all the ministers of the humerus of Emperor Hongzhi, from Liu Jian to Li Dongyang, and then to Xie Qian, all of them are contemporary famous ministers.
Without waiting for the three old ministers to salute, Emperor Hongzhi had already smiled slightly: "There is no need to be polite, today is the ceremony of the imperial court, I hope that there will be more people in the provinces of today, and in the future, they can serve me and share the worries of the court like the princes." ”
Liu Jian stroked his beard, looked very emotional, nodded his head and said: "What Your Majesty said is that since Your Majesty ascended the throne, you have given preferential treatment to scholars, selected talents and used abilities, and all scholars in the world hope to pass the imperial examination and become officials and serve Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Hongzhi took a sip of tea and smiled, as if because Liu Jian said that he treated scholars leniently, he suddenly felt that all the troubles of the past few days had been left behind.
But at this time, there was a dissonant voice: "Your Majesty, the minister received an impeachment note from the imperial history yesterday, it's good not to look at it, after reading it, I really haven't slept all night." ”
Emperor Hongzhi followed the voice and looked, but it was Xie Qian, a member of the Cabinet University.
Xie Qian is different from Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, Liu Jian is steady, Li Dongyang is wise, but Xie Qian is good at arguing, not only that, he is also a jealous and hateful person.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "Xie Qing has come to sue the emperor again, tell me, what are the troubles that worry you?" ”
Xie Qian said indignantly: "Lin Han, the Imperial History of the Northern Zhili Branch Road of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, said that Nanhe Bozi Fang Jifan usually let loose and bullied the good people; The army and the people dare to be angry but dare not speak; Now he went even further, and actually humiliated the scholars, let the three Xiucai worship him as a teacher, and ordered them to go to Nanhe Bofu, claiming that he would teach them in person. Your Majesty, pity these three scholars, who have studied hard for half their lives, seeing that the township test is imminent, but because of the nonsense of this Fang Jifan, they abandoned their studies and missed their fame. Your Majesty, this matter has aroused Shilin's dissatisfaction, and many scholars have complained for these three scholars, and the minister implored Your Majesty to severely punish Fang Jifan and save these three talents from fire and water. ”
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help frowning, it was Fang Jifan again.
This guy really went up to the house to expose the tiles, and he did all kinds of evil.
To tell the truth, Emperor Hongzhi has long wanted to clean up this guy who claims that the gold belt is copper.
It's just that......
Xie Qian's performance is the impeachment of the imperial history, and it doesn't hurt to teach him a lesson in private, but once he is impeached, it is another thing to respond in the official face.
This is not equivalent to directly embarrassing Nanhe Bofu, not to mention that this guy has just been given a gold belt and praised him, if he applies directly now, won't he prove that he has no knowledge of people?
