Ji Qingwen couldn't get used to the narrow-mindedness of those scholars, so he got up and made a round and said: "Among the literati, there are those who are greedy for money and lustful, and naturally there are also loyal and patriotic; The same is true for martial artists, there are both heroic and brave, and of course, there are also those who are greedy for life and afraid of death. There is no distinction between the civil and military forces, they all serve the country, and they are not guilty of any superiority or inferiority. People say, isn't it? ”

Ji Qingwenman thought that he had said this well, and he would definitely be able to convince the public.

Unexpectedly, someone immediately objected: "Why don't literati and martial artists have dignity and humility?" The system of our dynasty is to control military with literature, this is the rule set by Emperor Taizu, and you can't fool it by touching your upper lip to your lower lip. ”

The person who spoke was scheming, and as soon as he spoke, he brought out the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, leaving Ji Qingwen speechless.

But the Wuju people did not show weakness, and said with a pale face: "What about the rules set by Emperor Taizu? Now that it has been almost 300 years since the founding of the country, how many things have changed, so how can the old rules of many years ago be followed until now......

Before he finished speaking, someone immediately grabbed the stubble and shouted: "Hahaha, you actually said that Emperor Taizu's words were wrong!" You're going to commit rebellion! ”

Someone else echoed: "Come, who goes out for a walk, call the imperial history of the city patrol, and let him teach this martial artist who doesn't know the height of the sky and the earth a good lesson." ”

Some people even said: "Don't bother the Yushi Yamen, just go to Dongchang and Jinyiwei to report the case, and let this martial artist peel off the skin!" ”

A few days ago, Ji Qingwen had seen the power of Jinyiwei in the Fucheng Inn, and he didn't want this martial artist to encounter this unwarranted disaster just because of one sentence, so he quickly got up and persuaded two sentences: "Everyone, everyone." This brother also has no intention of exporting, so don't go online. Come, today I will be the host, and ask the shopkeeper to give each table a few pastries and a pot of good tea, and the account will be recorded on my head. ”

As he spoke, Ji Qingwen took out a silver ticket from his arms, pressed it on the table, and greeted: "Xiao Er, this is a silver ticket of fifty taels, issued by the Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce, and it will be redeemed immediately with the ticket, you hurry up and serve the food and tea!" ”

But these scholars didn't appreciate it, and took a bite and said, "Okay, it turns out that your kid is also in the same group as this martial artist." Wait for a while for the brocade guards to come and arrest you together. ”

Seeing that things were getting bigger and bigger inexplicably, even Liu Ruozai, who had just come up with the question, was a little frightened, got up and said, "Why do you need to be like this? We're just talking about the knowledge, what are we going to do with Jinyiwei? Don't be impatient, don't be impatient! ”

As soon as his words fell, someone said: "Brother Liu, you have to be careful when you speak, you can excuse them again, and be careful to treat you as a fellow party." ”

Liu Ruozai was holding back his strength and was ready to show his skills in this imperial examination, so he naturally didn't want to get involved in this dispute, so although he was dissatisfied, he still sat down with a tiger face and stopped talking.

Na Wuju was also righteous, patted his chest, and said, "You and the others are all treacherous villains. I said that just now, and I did it alone, and it has nothing to do with these two gentlemen. We don't know each other, and we're not in the same party! ”

Immediately someone said: "Is it the same party, not what you are saying now." When the time comes, Dongchang and Jinyiwei will say whatever they tell you, and you will say whatever you want. ”

As soon as the names of Dongchang and Jinyiwei were mentioned, even the majestic martial artists were a little worried, and the muscles on their faces twitched involuntarily, and finally stopped talking, only a pair of bright eyes kept scanning the lobby, as if to firmly engrave the faces of this group of narrow-minded and meager scholars in their minds.

At this moment, Li Yan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly laughed "hahaha" and said, "I see! I see! I see! Hahahaha! ”

He laughed very suddenly, and the laughter was quite abrupt, so frightened that Ji Qingwen, who was sitting next to him, had a numb scalp, hurriedly pulled Li Yan's sleeve, and asked, "Brother Li, what's wrong with you?" What's so funny? ”

Li Yan still laughed and said: "I am from a small county in Shanxi, and I have only heard that there is a strong party struggle in the imperial court in the capital. It turned out that I was still a little reluctant to believe it, but when I saw it today, it was really an eye-opener. If the court really takes you traitors, it will be really a misfortune for the society and the people! ”

Li Yan's words made everyone speechless, and it took a while for someone to say timidly: "You are talking nonsense." Today's emperor is wise and wise, Wei Zhongxian also committed suicide in fear of crime, and now the court is full of people and a monolith, how can there be party strife? ”

This man may not even believe what he said, and his voice became softer and softer.

Li Yan grabbed the conversation and said: "Although Wei Zhongxian is dead, the eunuch forces in the court have not been eliminated. If you don't believe me, please take a look! ”

As he spoke, Li Yan took out a palm-sized note from his sleeve, raised it in the air, and said, "Brother Liu Ruozai, please come over and take a look, what is this?" ”

Liu Ruozai agreed with an "oh", got up and walked to Li Yan's side, took the note, and read it aloud word by word: "Take care of me." Wei Zhongxian! ”

Liu Ruozai almost shouted and said the world-famous name, and finally stabilized his mind, looked at Li Yan with wide eyes, and asked, "Brother Tai, is such a thing real or fake?" Where did you get that? ”

Li Yan smiled slightly and said: "Brother Liu, don't care where I got it from, I just tell you that this note is true, just by virtue of the crooked seven words on it, I will be able to enter high school and soar from now on!" ”

Ji Qingwen listened quietly to Li Yan's generous statement on the side, and secretly admired in his heart: it turned out that Li Yan himself was born in the eunuch party, but he wanted to do the opposite, and in this public, he took out ironclad evidence to draw a clear line with the eunuch party - this is a plan to capture the old and indulge!

In Ji Qingwen's admiring eyes, Li Yan continued to speak: "Now that the party dispute in the DPRK is not settled, you are going to cause trouble. Do you know that the praying mantis catches cicadas, and there are no yellow finches behind them? Now you are full of emotions and conclusive words, but you do not know that the wall has ears, and you have recorded all your words and deeds, so that your future will be ruined. Or wait for you to make progress, and then suddenly come up with evidence, hold your handle firmly in your hands, and tell you to throw yourself into the trap and be at your mercy. ”

Li Yan said this in one breath, he really had a hearty feeling, and under the excitement, the heat came out of his body, so he leaned down, raised the tea bowl, and drank the tea that was already half warm.

Ji Qingwen seized this gap and also helped: "Don't talk about the future." You scolded Wei Zhongxian to the point of blood, if the chief examiner is really a member of the eunuch party, you don't want to be a jinshi. If you're interested, wait three years to come back. ”

These scholars, although they speak righteously and strictly, put the Taoism higher than anything else; But in their hearts, the most important thing is not only their net worth, but also fame and fortune.

Therefore, as soon as Ji Qingwen's words came out, all the scholars who were chattering just now bowed their heads and were silent, and the air was so silent that it seemed to be frozen.

Seeing this, Ji Qingwen was proud, so he said loudly again: "Okay, today's incident should not have happened." As I said earlier, I would like to invite you to have some snacks, and if you are interested, please stay here for a while, and then go back to rest after eating. ”

After a while, the running hall of Liansheng Inn put five plates of pastries and a pot of tea on each table, and the people were not polite, swallowing these things silently, and then got up in twos and threes and went back to the house to rest.

At this moment, I suddenly saw the light outside the door suddenly brighten, and someone shouted: "Jinyiwei is handling the case, the people in the inn are waiting for the investigation, don't move, otherwise you will be killed!" ”

Ji Qingwen was taken aback when he heard this, and thought: It must be some good person who really reported this dispute in the Fangcai Inn to Jinyiwei, and it will be difficult to clean it up now!

He was stunned, and a group of eight or nine people rushed in from the main entrance of the inn, all of them wearing flying fish suits and holding embroidered spring knives - sure enough, they were Jinyi Wei.

I heard one of the leaders shouting: "Where is the innkeeper?" ”

The innkeeper was in the lobby, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are a military master, and you have worked hard." I don't know what to call a villain? ”
