Although he is very sympathetic to the plight of the candidates, how could Yang Yangzheng commit a taboo?

The decision to depose this subject township examination was made by Emperor Chongkang, no matter how stupid he is, he will not make decisions for the candidates.

has been an official for decades, although he is as honest as water and honest by nature, but integrity is not the same as being a fool......

He shook his head slowly and said: "The exam questions have been leaked, except for the bribes, there are other people who have obtained the exam questions, and they can't find out the details. However, it also descended the emperor's grace, and there is no need to wait for another three years, next year is the emperor's 100,000th birthday, and he will open a Keenke for you.

The old man tasted that 'those who are willing do not drink the water of the stolen spring, and those who are incorruptible are not eaten by the mouth', and they are all innocent reading seeds, how can they use the title of a thief as an advanced test? ”

"Then there will be an annual exam next year?"

Lifetime member asked.

Not every talent is eligible to participate in the township examination, and only those who have passed the annual examination are eligible.

Among them, many people will be swept away.

Many people passed the annual examination by luck, and then passed the township examination by luck.

In fact, most of the students didn't expect to be able to succeed in the test, and if they were successful, they would already be satisfied, and they could return to their hometowns to be a squire, and if they were lucky, they could also be officials.

Therefore, when many people heard this question, they all looked at Yang Yangzheng.

Yang Yangzheng was familiar with the inside story, frowned when he heard the words, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "If you are not even sure about the annual exam, and only want to pass the exam with a moment of luck, the old man advises you to return to your hometown as soon as possible to farm." Now that the new law is popular all over the world, it is absolutely impossible to imagine that just one person is famous for his fame, and he will wantonly collect land in the township and carry out annexation.

After the new law, 30 acres of land tax will be exempted for students, and 120 acres will be exempted for people to be exempted from field tax, which is enough for you to plow, study, and chew. ”

Before the new law, Xiucai could be tax-exempted from 80 mu, 1,200 mu of non-Shi people were exempted, and 3,350 mu of non-Shi Jinshi was exempted.

In fact, after gaining fame, they will no longer be bound to the decree of 1,200 mu at all, and they will often collect as much as they can.

Therefore, by virtue of the fields donated in the name of merit, people can eat a lot of money when they collect rent, and they have become a wealthy family of squires.

But after the new party implemented the new law, there will be no such "good thing" again.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that the implementation of the new law in other provinces can be called difficult.

The rebound of the local squires is beyond imagination.

But Ning Zechen and his gang still forcibly suppressed it, and even mobilized garrisons from other provinces to assist in clearing the fields.

The extermination of the race has not never happened.

Hearing Yang Yangzheng say this, none of the sentient beings' faces were good-looking......

After a pause, another member of the life team stepped forward, and this time the question finally extended to the young scholar beside Yang Yangzheng: "The student dares to ask the imperial doctor, can the student next to him also be a candidate for this subject?" ”

When Yang Yangzheng heard this, his eyes changed slightly, he glanced at the young man beside him with some complexity, and said in a low voice: "Yes, he is the first student to report the fraud case of Jinke." ”

"Wow!"

When the sentient beings heard this, they were in an uproar.

There are even people who recognize the young man and spread his identity and origin to thousands of people very quickly.

Although some people knew Jia Cong before the exam, most of them had never seen him.

But I didn't want to see the famous Qing minister poet in the here and now......

"I don't want to be 'if life is only as first seen' Jia Qingchen in person, but I don't know how Jia's friend learned about Jinke's fraud?"

A scholar asked loudly, his eyes looking directly at Jia Cong.

After Jia Cong bowed to Yang Yangzheng first, he straightened up and said in a clear voice: "Because before the exam, an old friend of mine was eating on Gulou Street and was forced to sell this exam question. It's just that before the previous township examinations, there were always cunning people who took the opportunity to cheat money under this pretext, so I didn't take it seriously. But in the Gongyuan, I saw that the exam questions were exactly the same as the exam questions recorded in that booklet, although Jia Cong was very fond of fame, but he couldn't take advantage of this, otherwise, how could he raise my heroic spirit? ”

"Good!"

Yang Yangzheng and many of the imperial histories of Lantai Temple behind him praised one after another.

However, for students who have not even achieved fame, this sentence is really not very convincing.

A student asked: "Friend Jia has such a noble character, we admire it, but why don't you directly report it to the prison officer in the Gong Yuan?" If you report it, you will change the exam questions, so that the bribes will be counted in vain, and we will not delay waiting for a subject. Friend Jia directly gave up the exam and made a big deal out of it, which is inevitably a suspicion of fame! ”

As soon as these words came out, countless echoes suddenly sounded among the candidates.

There is nowhere to vent grievances in people's hearts, so they naturally have to find a punching bag.

Today, the imperial court made a big move, mobilizing tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the Beijing battalion and thousands of brocade clothes and horses, for the sake of those eunuch examiners and more than a dozen candidates for bribing the exam?

No, for the sake of these 3,000 disgruntled students.

At present, the implementation of the new law in 18 provinces outside Beijing is in full swing, which can be described as a raging war.

At this time, if there is a large-scale turmoil at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an Shenjing, it will definitely be an extremely dangerous thing.

That's why such a big battle is being used today.

It's just that these battles are to maintain the stability of the imperial court, but not to protect Jia Cong's reputation.

At this time, even Yang Yangzheng was not good at playing and speaking for Jia Cong.

Although he was also worried about Jia Cong in his heart, if he couldn't pass this level, from then on, there would be no place for Jia Cong in Shilin.

But he still couldn't stand up for Jia Cong, because he understood that this was Emperor Chongkang's will......

Just when the noise started, I saw Jia Cong take the gong from the hand of the gong bearer beside him, and then struck it three times.

The scene fell silent again......

After Jia Cong sent the gong back, he said loudly: "I'll answer this question, in fact, everyone understands in their hearts that the leakage of exam questions to this situation is definitely not something that any examiner can do, this must be a nest of cases!" Since it is a nest case, how can I hope that the prison officer is innocent? Who can guarantee his innocence? Even now, who would dare to vouch for that adult? Stand out! ”

“……”

Everyone is silent, their brains are not in the water, and they can't hide from the stinking shit, who will be the guarantor?

But this does not convince them that in this regard, they have always been lenient with themselves and strict with others......

Jia Cong naturally understood this truth, so he continued: "Since this friend knows me Jia Qingchen, he shouldn't have said something like that, do I need to use this method to invite my name?" ”

When the questioner heard this, his face was full of shame, and he said no more.

But there were still people who stood up and asked loudly: "Friend Jia's three queqing ministers have already become famous all over the world, so naturally there is no need to use this method to make a name for themselves." I just dare to ask Friend Jia, in what capacity is he standing next to Doctor Yu Shi today? Isn't it a reward for reporting fraud? ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Yangzheng on the side glanced at Jia Cong again, with worry in his eyes.

He was even hesitating whether to give the prince an order and pay attention to vigilance.

The problem is almost to the core......

However, what he didn't expect was that Jia Cong didn't cover it up with any Spring and Autumn techniques at all, and said directly: "I am standing here today, not as a reward for reporting fraud, but as a real reward, the emperor sent an edict yesterday to give me a meritorious ......."

"Boom!"

As soon as these words came out, the students in front of Qingyun Bridge immediately boiled, and the commotion spread to the entire crowd at a very fast speed.

The three thousand students, almost all of them had red eyes, looking at Jia Cong's gaze, all of them seemed to be looking at the thieves who exchanged their future for their own fame!

At this moment, if Jia Cong fell into the crowd, he was afraid that he would be torn apart by these people......

Later generations could not imagine what it meant for a person to be famous.

That would mean a completely different fate......

On the side of Qingyun Bridge, the sudden silence made people feel frightened, and the sound of rough panting was so obvious.

Countless pairs of eyes stared directly at Jia Cong on the Qingyun Bridge......

Seeing this scene, Wang Ziteng, who was in charge of the Beijing camp, narrowed his eyes slightly, and sat on the horse, but his hand was on the handle of the saber at his waist.

He has already received a secret decree, if someone really takes the opportunity to cause chaos, he will decisively suppress it in the name of cheating candidates!

At this time, the palace can even put aside the calculations of the new party for the time being, will there be any determination to suppress the rebellion?

It's just that...... If it really comes to this point, this kid of the Jia family is afraid that he will really go to a dead end......

Jia Cong took a deep breath, he naturally knew his current situation.

It was a bit of a surprise, but it wasn't all unexpected.

It's just that he still doesn't quite understand why the unmasked emperor in the palace did this......

But no matter what, he couldn't isolate himself from the world, so he said loudly again: "I can understand your thoughts at this moment, but I still want to ask you a question at this moment: You are the same year, why do you study?" ”

No one answered below, and Jia Cong didn't expect anyone to praise him now, so he continued: "People who know me know my identity when they think about it.

I am the grandson of the Great Qianrong Guogong, and I have the throne of the Guogong Mansion.

Even if I don't study the imperial examination, I will have my own official title to do in the future!

But I have never fallen into the ambition of reading!

Yesterday received the holy decree, although Jia Cong felt the weight of the emperor's grace, but he was not surprised.

Because Jia Cong has never paid attention to his fame in his studies......"

These words, not to mention those students who were dismissed, even the officials behind Yang Yangzheng couldn't listen to it anymore.

Isn't this a good thing to behave again?

Saying such things under such circumstances is inevitably suspected of adding fuel to the fire and showing off.

Sure enough, a student immediately asked with a resentful sneer: "But I don't know why this nobleman who was born with an official is studying for the imperial examination, and if you say it, let me wait for the children of the poor family to open their eyes and see your ambitions." ”

"That's right! Why do you study? ”

"In the future, there will be officials who will come to do such things, and I am not satisfied, I may not know what I want to do in the future......"

One after another sarcastic or resentful words rang out, but Jia Cong was seen stepping down the steps step by step from the Qingyun Bridge, causing a commotion.

On the last stone step, Jia Cong stood still, only one head taller than the living beings, he looked at everyone without fear, suddenly raised his hand, and said loudly: "Why not tell you? When a gentleman is in the world, he can't say anything to others!

Jia Cong thinks that when my generation of Confucian students read, they should not read for fame and future, nor for high-ranking officials!

My generation of Confucian scholars should have a beginning and an end, and only have one original intention, that is:

Establish a heart for heaven and earth!

Make a life for the people!

For the sake of the saints, continue to learn!

Open peace for all generations!

Some, Jia Qingchen, read with this, and have a clear conscience!! ”
