When the red seal symbolizing the Jinling Township Trial Xie Yuan was hung in front of the hall of Ji Mansion, Ji Ning immediately gathered many people to come up to congratulate him, Ji Ning was going to talk to Tang Xie and others about the township test bribery, but at this time he also had to come out to entertain guests, at least to send away the good news of the Yacha and Qin Yuanyuan, who came to maintain order with good intentions.

Qin Yuanyuan saw that Ji Ning seemed to be deliberately talking to a few friends, so she didn't stay long, she smiled and said: "Ji Gongzi is now in high school, and he hopes to be a high school in the next year." The concubine will visit again tomorrow, so don't bother much today, and say goodbye. ”

"Congratulations, Madame." Ji Ning sent Qin Yuanyuan to the door, and the subordinates brought by Qin Yuanyuan over there also distributed the rewards of the neighbors who came to please, and those who came back in the future could at most have a cup of tea and some snacks, and there would be no more rewards.

This is also the difference between coming early and coming late, not to say that anyone who comes to congratulate can receive a reward, especially to prevent those who come to fish in troubled waters.

Even if the reward was only distributed for less than half an hour, it cost Qin Yuanyuan as much as dozens of taels of silver, Ji Ning didn't know why Qin Yuanyuan was so generous, if he just appreciated his talent and learning, he couldn't send silver at one time, and he had to send it so many times, let him appreciate it this time, then if Qin Yuanyuan had something to ask for in the future, would he help or not?

Qin Yuanyuan actually said that he would come to visit again in the future, it is likely that there is something to discuss, and it is unknown what it is.

The yacha left very early, and the purpose of those yacha to report the good news was to receive the reward money, and the beautiful scene was said, and the reward money was also in hand, and they didn't want to stay longer for a moment.

When Yacha and Qin Yuanyuan had already left, Ji Ning handed over the visitors in the courtyard to He An to entertain, and he took Tang Xie and a few people to the side hall to talk about bribery.

“…… Yongning, you can't take it lightly now, if the crying temple is really done, the court and the Temple of Literature can't ignore it, I'm afraid that the court and the Temple of Literature will deprive the controversial people of their fame for the anger of the scholars, after all, they have never worshiped the Temple of Literature now, and the name of the people is still false. Tang Xie analyzed.

The lifting of people in the Great Yong Dynasty is not just a matter of name, and then the people will go to worship the Temple of Literature and obtain the literary name, as if obtaining a kind of "blessing", only the person who has obtained the literary name can obtain the real name of the person.

Ji Ning knew that the level of the literary name mainly involved the strength of the spiritual power, involving the number of large and small seals that could be written, and he himself came with the memories of his previous life, and his spiritual power was particularly strong, and he didn't feel that he had any mental exhaustion effect in writing the big seal and the small seal, so he didn't care about the acquisition of this kind of literary name.

What Ji Ning wants to get is the identity and social status of the people, and the qualification for the examination, while others are mainly to obtain a literary name and become a privileged class above the people, and most of them are to become officials after obtaining fame in the imperial examination.

Therefore, the purpose of Ji Ning's examination is different from that of ordinary people.

Xie Tai said: "The imperial court and the Temple of Literature can't ignore the assessment, and directly condemn the children of the disputed family as bribes, right?" There is always a need for evidence, there are people who give bribes, there must be people who take bribes, now we know, one of the main examiners is Feng Xuanqing Feng Lao Lang, and the other is the two Huai Admiral Xuezheng Jiang Songjiang Xuezheng, if it is said that the bribery test exists, or such a large-scale bribery examination, one of the two must have taken bribes, so who bribes, who did not bribe, is not clear? ”

Han Yuyi waved his hand and said, "It's useless to say these things now, it mainly depends on Yongning's opinion." Yongning, what do you think? ”

Ji Ning thought for a while and said, "Thank you for believing in me so much, and I'm sure I'm not a bribe to get fame." ”

"Yongning, do you really think we are confused? How you are learning, we are very clear, even me and Ziqian have been admitted to the exam, in front of you have to be ashamed of learning, you can be said to be a matter of pushing the boat, Zhong Xie Yuan is not a problem, how can we suspect you of bribery? "Han Yu didn't have a good airway.

A few people next to him also nodded yes.

Ji Ning nodded and said, "I still have to thank you, it's rare for you to believe it." In my opinion, whether it is a blessing or a curse or a curse cannot be avoided, there is no too high social status in the Xia, and it cannot influence the decision-making of the imperial court and the Confucian Temple. But if you want to pursue it in the end, you should also strive to be able to show it in front of the person who investigates the case, so that he can believe that he has not gained fame through crooked things. ”

"Hmm." Tang explained, "Yongning is right, real gold is not afraid of fire, those people dare to make trouble, they also have to have evidence!" However, Yongning's Tianfu door is going to be closed these days, I'm afraid that those people will come to your house to denounce while crying and making trouble in the temple, and your position of Xie Yuan is really too eye-catching! ”

"I know, thank you Brother Tang for reminding me." Ji Ning stood up and saluted a few people respectfully, in such a difficult time, it was rare for these friends to stand by his side to help him, which also touched him very much.

Ji Ning can also feel that there must be someone behind this incident, otherwise it is impossible that before the list is released, the Shangguan Gongzi will run to him to tell him about the article of the test in his hometown.

He finally figured out what he couldn't figure out before, he was now pushed out to block the knife, and his situation would be very dangerous.

……

……

On the first day of the ninth lunar month, the scholars who failed in the Jinling urban and rural trials all went to the Jinling Confucian Temple to cry and tell the Confucian sage about the unfairness of the Jinling Township test.

The Temple of Literature and the imperial court will not have any emergency response that day, and the scholars did not leave, they directly meditated outside the Temple of Literature that day, some of them cried to death and lived, fainted several times, and I don't know how deep their hatred is with those who are on the list, it is simply the hatred of killing their fathers, and the words they cried in front of the Temple of Literature are very beautiful, and it is obvious that someone has transcribed the text for them.

At this time in Chongwang's mansion, Chongwang had just learned about the township test list, the matter of the Shizi Confucian Temple crying temple, as a politically conscious royal relative, Chongwang realized that this incident must be related to the power struggle of the dynasty.

“…… Lord, this matter is likely to be the crown prince from behind the ghost, the five princes in the south did not have any arrangements, suddenly made such a big fuss, we actually did not know in advance, from the results of the investigation behind the subordinates, some families seem to regard the five princes as the people who accept bribes this time, if the trouble continues, the court will investigate thoroughly...... It's better for the prince to plan early! ”
