"Your Majesty spares your life, and the grass people are also blinded by lard......"

Kong Lianjie trembled with fright and begged for mercy.

He did not dare to defend a single word.

Yang Qi shook the leather whip in his hand and smiled cruelly, "Don't worry, I won't whip you to death." Because, too cheap for you. I remember that when I was in the court, the officials gave me a lot of torturous ideas. I haven't been able to find the right person to do it. Now that I see you, I finally see my chance. ”

"I want to make the fear that my teacher feels a hundredfold and a thousand times more in you."

"Don't! Don't! ”

Kong Lianjie's face was full of frightened wails.

Back then, Yang Qi asked hundreds of officials to come up with ideas to punish people in the court, and everyone who had been to Yanjing City had heard of it.

Kong Lianjie has been in Yanjing City for a long time, so he naturally knows what methods those officials have come up with to punish people.

Each of them will make him want to die.

Yang Qi sneered, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the prison.

"Peng Pai, I'll leave it to you......"

"Subordinates obey!"

"Don't! Help me! ”

“……”

In the wailing of Kong Lianjie, Yang Qi walked out of the prison, he looked up at the blue sky, and sighed slightly.

Kong Lianjie was arrested, and Yang Qi was also a matter of concern.

also had an explanation for the dead Shen Lun.

He didn't let anyone follow, playing with the jade cicada that Shen Lun had given him, and strolling on the streets of Yanjing City, feeling the flowers and rivers at the same time, he had a memory of Shen Lun in his heart.

When Shen Lun was buried, he did not send Shen Lun on his last journey.

Now that he has helped Shen Lun take revenge, he is paying tribute in this way.

Yang Qi was like a lonely soul, slowly wandering through the streets of Yanjing City until nightfall.

He walked into a gourd-headed steamed bun shop with the world's first plaque.

The shop was crowded and business was booming.

But the old figure of the acquaintance was no longer there.

The one who cooked the steamed buns was a hired man, and the shopkeeper was busy collecting money at the counter.

After Yang Qi paced into the shop, the shopkeeper greeted him.

"Guest officer, how many of you are there?"

Yang Qi waved his hand and walked in front of the shopkeeper without saying a word.

The shopkeeper was blocked by the light, and he was also stunned.

When I looked up, I trembled and almost fell to one knee.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty ......"

Yang Qi raised his hand to stop him from continuing to shout.

"Where's your father?"

The shopkeeper's eyes were red, and he said in a low voice: "My father went to ...... years ago."

"Hey~"

Yang Qi sighed.

The shopkeeper wiped his tears and whispered: "My father explained when he went, saying that you are just a mouthful of the old boiled intestines in our shop." He kept complaining that he didn't let you eat the best marinade when he met you, so he told the villain to let you taste the old marinade when he touched you again. ”

"Then try it......"

"The villain will do it."

After a while.

In the strange eyes of others, the shopkeeper held a bowl of gourd head and arrived in front of Yang Qi.

Yang Qi picked up the chopsticks, tasted them, and was slightly stunned.

"Not to your liking?"

The shopkeeper asked in a trembling voice.

Yang Qi shook his head and didn't say much.

He lowered his head and took a breath, ate all the gourd heads in the bowl, dropped two big coins, and left the shop without looking back.

The shopkeeper didn't look at the two big coins on the table, he looked at Yang Qi's departing back, and burst into tears.

"Shopkeeper, what's wrong with you today, for the first time in person, you cook and greet guests? And the man ate a bowl of good gourd heads, and gave two big money, why don't you chase him to beg for money? ”

The shopkeeper was silent.

"I'm sorry my dad ......"

The familiar guests were panicked and said, "What's wrong with you?" Say what a big thing, we are all acquaintances, and we must help you if we can help you. ”

"Yes, yes, yes......"

The shopkeeper choked up and said: "When my father died, he told me that when Your Majesty comes again, you must let Your Majesty taste the authentic gourd head, but I failed to learn my father's craft well, and I was embarrassed for him." ”

"What Your Majesty is not Your Majesty's ......"

"Shut up, you forgot where their signboard came from?"

"Shhh...... The man just now ......"

"Your Majesty!"

“……”

Yang Qi didn't say a word from the beginning of eating the gourd head to the end.

Apparently, he didn't get the taste he wanted to taste.

The shopkeeper also saw this, so he cried bitterly.

Yang Qi walked leisurely on the street, sighing that things are not people, and acquaintances are old and dead one by one.

After returning to the palace.

Yang Qi stayed in the imperial study, and no one was seen, and he was bored for a day.

Flash.

Two months passed quietly.

The new phase of the imperial examination was held as scheduled.

Everything went smoothly.

Yang Qi didn't make a moth in the palace test.

Everyone was happy.

However.

When the list of Jinshi in the examination was posted, the students who were entrenched in Yanjing City were fried.

The South List has appeared!

What is Nanbang?

Those who are familiar with the imperial examination know that the people who are admitted to the Jinshi on the list are all southerners.

This is the South List, and there is not a single northerner on it.

The northern scholars were completely fried, and they went around in groups, threatening to cheat in the imperial examination.

Yanjing City was in a smoky miasma.

At a critical moment.

Yang Qi complied with the will of the people and strictly investigated the matter.

Then I found out that the chief examiner and deputy chief examiner of the imperial examination were all southerners, although they did not accept bribes, but they had selfish intentions, and admitted southern scholars, and did not take a northern scholar.

So, Yang Qi raised the butcher's knife again and killed hundreds of officials in one go.

After that, at the request of the civil officials, it was replaced by an official from the north as the chief examiner.

Then, the North List also appeared.

Officials in the north admitted a group of northern scholars, and not a single southern scholar was not selected.

The southern scholars were reluctant and began to make a fuss.

Yang Qi raised the butcher knife again.

……

So back and forth, what is the north-south list, what is the fraud in the field, and what is leaking.

Anyone who can be linked to cheating has never stopped in the imperial examination.

Of course, Yang Qi never stopped killing.

When the civil officials in the court who were shouting for the imperial examination reacted, they found that their allies were already numbered.

No matter how stupid they are, they know that they have been calculated by Yang Qi.

After all, if the fraud happens once or twice, it is already in the sky.

All the malpractices occur one after another, and then there is a cat to get tired.

On the Qianyuan Palace.

After eight imperial examinations.

Yang Qi looked at the few remaining civil officials in the court who were shouting for the imperial examination, and smiled with satisfaction.

Nowadays, the general trend of Confucianism has gone, and in the future, there will be no Confucianism in the territory of Yan Kingdom, and there will only be Confucianism.

However, there are three or two of the remaining kittens, and Yang Qi does not plan to let them go.

"The imperial examination is a great ceremony for the country, and there are frequent cases of fraud, which makes me very angry. Corrupt officials and corrupt officials must be punished, and they will be punished with hatred. But this imperial examination cannot be stopped. The Imperial Ceremony was a necessary way to select officials for the imperial court. Only by constantly taking scholars and wise men can we stabilize the country and secure the country.

Do you think Aiqing should recognize the next imperial examination? ”

Under the gaze of Yang Qihu, the civil officials began their performance.

"The minister protects Lord Li, and Lord Li is the leader of the previous dynasty for seven years of Taiping and rejuvenation of the country......"

"Your Majesty! The minister can't do it, the minister can't do it, the minister has a head disease, the minister thinks that the king is the most suitable, and the king is the ......"

"The minister can't do it, the minister's mother is seriously ill, the minister wants to serve the bedside, and the minister recommends Lord Zhang......"

“……”

At this time, these sub-civil officials also didn't care about their faces, they passed the buck to each other, and they were full of ugliness.

Yang Qi watched them perform coldly.

It wasn't until they were tired of acting that he said slowly: "You Aiqing don't have to coax, this subject is missed, and there is the next one." Each and every one of you has a chance. ”

The civil servants shuddered.

Someone couldn't hold it anymore and wailed loudly: "Your Majesty spare your life! ”

Seeing this, others also begged for mercy.

Yang Qi looked around at them coldly, "If you don't take the test, you can't do it!" At the beginning, but in this Qianyuan Palace, you went to the book together, and the persecuted me reopened the imperial examination. I agreed to your request and reopened the imperial examination.

Now you are not willing to be the examiner.

Are you child's play to be the imperial examination, or do you think I'm a naughty boy you can fool around at will? ”

The civil servants were terrified.

Someone wailed, "If you don't take the exam, you won't take the exam, the minister will never mention the matter of opening the imperial examination again, and I beg Your Majesty to spare the minister." ”

"The minister knows that he is wrong, and begs His Majesty to take back his ...... of his life"

“……”

In order to survive, they can say whatever they pray.

However, the more they did this, the more Yang Qi didn't want to leave this group of straw bales on the court.

Finally, there were smart people who saw Yang Qi's intentions.

He quickly got out of work, took off his official hat, put it on the ground, bowed three times, and shouted.

"The Beggar Skeleton ......"

Then, without waiting for Yang Qi to speak, he trotted out of the Qianyuan Palace.

This quick resignation made the hundreds of officials in the Qianyuan Hall stunned.

By the time they reacted, the man had already run outside the Qianyuan Palace.

Yang Qi opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say the words in his mouth.

Other people saw this scene and also resigned one after another.

The first person, Yang Qi, was not punished, and the person behind him, Yang Qi, had no way to punish them, so he could only let them leave.

However.

There are always some official fans, as well as people who are lucky, who still stand in the court and refuse to leave.

For these people, Yang Qi was not polite.

"Now that everyone else has resigned, there are only a few of you left. Then this time, the imperial examination will be in charge of a few of you. Do a good job, do a good job, and I will be rewarded. ”

Yang Qi's smile was full of kindness.

But in the ears of those officials, it was harsher than the magic sound.

Immediately, someone wailed: "The bones of the beggars ......"

Yang Qi put away the smile on his face and said indifferently: "It's late, the opportunity I give will always be only once." ”

"I'm not going, I'm not going, I'm not going to be killed."

Someone started playing tricks.

Yang Qi glanced at Peng Pai and said, "Take them away!" ”

Thus, in history, the first chief examiner who was escorted to the position of chief examiner was born.

There is no doubt that these people never came down after being put in the position of chief examiner.

The only thing waiting for them is the knife at the entrance of the vegetable market.

The remnants of Confucianism were purged.

Yang Qi could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

When the last batch of examiners were guillotined.

Yang Qi held a small banquet in the palace, attended by Kou Zhun, Xiang Minzhong, and Lu Mengzheng, who had just been transferred back to the capital.

Dinner.

Yang Qi raised his glass and said, "As soon as Confucianism is gone, this serious illness in my heart can finally be put down." ”

Kou Zhun interjected with a mouth full of oil: "Aren't you afraid of the resurgence of Confucianism? ”

Yang Qi glared at him, and Kou Zhun shrank his head in fright.

Xiang Minzhong said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Confucianism has gone, how should Confucianism be treated?" We have been planning for a long time, whether the books taught to students should also be replaced. ”

Lu Meng was listening.

Yang Qi groaned: "Confucianism is a cancer, but Confucianism is not. There is no problem with learning itself, only people have problems. So I don't have any prejudice against Confucianism. Just reviving Confucianism in local schools will inevitably lead to a resurgence of Confucianism, and it will not be fair to those students who are about to graduate.

After thinking about it again and again, I felt that we could take the essence of Confucian classics and compile them into books.

The rest of the encyclopedias can follow suit.

So, what do you think? ”

Xiang Minzhong and Lu Meng glanced at each other, nodded and said, "It's feasible!" ”

"Then it's decided, and I'll leave it to the two of you."

"喏~"

"How do we know which ones are the essence, in case someone is compiling them, and what if someone is compiling them?"

Kou Zhun's voice sounded out of place again.

Xiang Minzhong replied unceremoniously: "You and I are both people who have read books for decades, and we will not be unable to distinguish the essence of Confucianism." In my Yenching University hall, there are several great Confucians.

As long as we unanimously approve it, and then the essence of His Majesty's review will be compiled into a book, and after so many supervisions, who dares to carry private goods. ”

Lu Mengzheng nodded in agreement.

Kou Zhun pursed his lips and said, "I'll just say it casually, you don't have to take it too seriously." ”

"Humph!"

Xiang Minzhong snorted coldly and expressed his dissatisfaction with Kou Zhun.

Yang Qi frowned and looked at Kou Zhun and said, "What's wrong with you today, your nose is not your nose, and your eyes are not eyes." ”

Kou Zhun spread his hands helplessly and said, "What's the matter, it's not your precious sister who made trouble." ”

"Eighth sister? The eighth sister is pregnant, how can she make trouble with you. ”

Yang Qi's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character.

Kou Zhun rolled his eyes and said, "She just threatened me with the child in her belly!" ”

"Isn't she messing around?"

"yes, it's nonsense."

Yang Qi didn't fall for Kou Zhun, he muttered: "But what happened to force the eighth sister to this." ”

Kou Zhun said faintly: "What else can I do, of course it's your family matter?" ”

"Huh?!"

"The day before yesterday, the envoy of the Liao State entered Beijing and sent a diplomatic document saying that the little emperor of the Liao State, Yeluhei, wanted to come and meet His Majesty, the emperor of the suzerainty country."

Yang Qi was stunned and said, "How come I don't know about the day before yesterday?" ”

"The Queen Mother happened to bump into this matter and withheld the diplomatic documents."

"This ......"
