Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Second Class (I)

In the past few days, the capital has been calm on the surface, except for those unlucky people who were taken in by the forbidden army and the imperial forest army, whether it is a high-ranking official or a poor student, no one has noticed the difference in this year's Spring Festival.

Lord Jiang handed over the list of scientific fields to His Majesty to make a letter of nomination to show his intentions, but the other side put down the list as usual.

It's just that he left a hand in the fame link, and left out the few people who have the closest relationship with the magnates of all parties, and he didn't do anything on the fame. On the surface, while completely falling to His Majesty, it can be regarded as leaving a trace of leeway for himself.

lest Your Majesty be too angry and heavy, and his life will not be able to pass.

Even if His Majesty wants to clean up the two filthy places of the branch field and the entry of the office, he must also take into account the integrity of the imperial court, and it is impossible to play too big at once.

He, Jiang Taiyue, handed over the list to the emperor thoroughly, which was to show his loyalty, naturally he couldn't and didn't dare to hide his secrets, otherwise if this point was discovered in the future, it would be impossible to say whether he would lose his head.

But the emperor has the list of these people in his hands, no matter how determined he is, he can't move these few people he left out.

Because the list is so big, most of the court will fall if it is really investigated, although his emperor has this ability, he will eventually count on these courtiers to help him govern the world.

really investigates to the end, even His Majesty the Founding Emperor will not end well. Therefore, he dared to take this risk and skimmed the names of several people, acting as if he did not dare to offend them to death.

Erpin Shangshu is still doing things so forward-looking, and his life is often at risk, which shows the ruthlessness and terror of officialdom in the feudal period.

And all the magnates are becoming more and more skilled in doing such things year by year, and they all relax their vigilance, but they didn't expect that Jiang Yin really had the integrity to hand over the list at the risk of dismissal.

They are waiting for the list of spring festivals, pushing cups and changing lamps, and singing every night. The imperial forest army under the emperor and the little prince of Ye Wangfu led the capital to garrison the forbidden army, but according to the list, according to the relationship between the outside and the inside, one by one, they took advantage of the night to kill people in the mansion, took evidence, turned it out, and wrote countless letters.

What's more, there is an account book, who gives gifts on a certain year, month, and day, how many silver taels, so as to help him get how many rankings in the spring festival, clearly write down on it one by one.

Of the 300 students on the Spring List, 247 were handed over the slips, and 15 were left to hide from Master Jiang, and there were still 232 people.

In just over a decade, the entire line of the reopened imperial examination has rotted like this. No wonder Your Majesty is so angry.

However, Lord Jiang really underestimated His Majesty's appetite, and he didn't expect that this Emperor Ma would be so resolute and resolute to arrest all these two hundred and thirty-two people.

I didn't expect those magnates to be so careless, when the little prince and Tang Commander caught almost 200 people, most of the magnates still didn't know anything, and there was no obvious news spread.

On the day when the list was released, his master had already gone to the court, but at noon, he didn't see the students on the list coming from home to thank him, and many people felt that something was wrong this time, but it was already too late at this time.

----------------------------------------

In March of the 14th year of the Zhou calendar, the spring season is in full bloom on the trees on the side of the road, and the flowers and birds are contrasting with each other, this scenery is joyful, but the atmosphere in this restaurant is lifeless.

Almost all students from all over the country gathered in the vicinity of this Hanlin Academy, and the surrounding restaurants and inns were overcrowded, but there were no food dishes on the wine table, just some scattered nut snacks placed in twos and threes.

Almost all of the students here were lifeless and unwilling, and almost a few of them gathered around the list posted outside the Hanlin Academy, all of them were drinking to drown their sorrows.

"Don't say it's not on the list this year." A Yizhou student's face was as dead as ashes, "This list is almost full of children of powerful people from all walks of life, and there are not a few poor students such as me at all." Brother Liu Wenchang Liu in Xuzhou, Brother Xu Yan in Jingzhou, Brother Tang Guan Tang in Yizhou, these world-famous talents are all ranked at the bottom of the list, and they are almost stuck on the list. ”

"Why did this brother say this?" A student on the side has a heroic face and a burly figure, if he is not dressed as an authentic student, he is afraid that he will be regarded as a person who practices martial arts. He bowed slightly to the student who spoke before, and greeted the eyes of several students around him who were looking at him, and reported to himself that it was the Xuzhou Wenchang mentioned earlier.

"Brother Lin Qingzhi, who is in the top two on the list this time, had a poem in Kyoto the day before yesterday, "The world is in a high position, handsome and sinks down", which can be regarded as speaking the voice of our poor students. attracted many powerful people to be dissatisfied with him, but he still won the list in this examination, which shows that even if he does not follow the path of the powerful, as long as I study diligently and study hard, I will eventually have a bright future. ”

Brother Liu's words were impassioned, but they did not resonate much with the students present.

Before the words fell, someone sneered, "Brother Liu, isn't it stupid to read, everyone knows about this imperial examination, and only the top three hundred will be taken in each attempt, a few are entrusted to the central government, and a few are supervised by the country, we can all understand." Naturally, we don't want to report extravagant hopes, but just hope that when the list is secretly set above, we can choose a few really talented and learned Hanshi as foils, which can be regarded as blocking our mouths. But this year's list, what is it? ”

"What this brother said is very true, in previous years, there were more than 100 cold people as a foil, this year's list, I'm afraid that even fifty people are not full, I think I still don't want to travel thousands of miles to this capital to participate in what kind of Rausch sub-scientific expedition, save three or five years to learn a few crafts, so that I can support myself."

"Brother Liu, you are also the number one talent in the world, I have studied your articles and theories, and I think that the literary structure is incomparable, and even you almost fell off the list this time, so how can you talk about the future??"

Seeing that all the students were so disheartened, Liu Wenchang couldn't help but feel the deep pathos of this world. As one of the world's most well-known talents, this year's Xuzhou Xie Yuan is also similar to Lin Fu's fame, so he will step on the line of three hundred, of course, he knows that there is a lot of trickery in it.

It's just that he is always hopeful, so even if he thinks what he says is really far-fetched, he still speaks to cheer everyone up.

He remembered the Xiaolin Gongzi who won the Xuzhou Township Test a few years ago, he was not the son of the powerful in the capital, but he won a good ranking, so he wanted to encourage everyone with this matter.

Unexpectedly, it was pointed out by a well-informed person, and it turned out that this new leader of the cold family in the past few days turned out to be a son of the family of Lord Lin Anlin, the secretary of the ministry. For a while, I really couldn't find any talented people who ranked high on the list, so I couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and I couldn't speak for a while.
