Shi Kefa also heard about the petition of the students for the first time, and after the Qingming Festival, Nanjing was starting to be a little stuffy, and it was a sunny day, and the forehead of the pavilion lord immediately saw sweat.

"Nonsense, nonsense!"

Riding on the horse, Shi Kefa just kept shaking his head, and he could squeeze out water with bitterness on his face...... You don't have to think much about it, you know that it must be related to Donglin Restoration Society!

In Nandu, what other organization can quietly organize so many scholars to come out and make trouble? said that it was done by another family, does anyone believe it?

Every year at the Suzhou Tiger Hill Conference, which one of the participants did not have the identity of a talent or a tribute or a person? Even those who are Jinshi are not a few!

The literary style in the south of the Yangtze River was originally prosperous, just in Wuxi County, how many big families are there? How many children are there in each family?

Although the imperial examination system is to strive for perfection and pursue fairness, where in the world is there absolute fairness at all? An ordinary peasant family, the first generation can barely read and write, the second generation can reach the level of children, and in the third generation it is possible to become a lifter, a jinshi, and then become a so-called scholarly disciple, that is, a real family. At that time, the children of the family have resources to use since they were young, and they can learn under the guidance of the Master from an early age, whether it is Bagu or calligraphy, including some ways of the imperial examination, these children of the family are far beyond ordinary people, and the chance of winning is of course doubled.

There are many scholarly families in the south of the Yangtze River, who have been promoted for more than ten generations, and have been officials for five or six generations in a row, and they can all be ranked in the cabinet.

Why can the gentry in Jiangnan hold the government hostage and control the tenant farmers, because they are all century-old families, and they have formed an interest group with each other by means of the same year and marriage, and what are the local state and county officials?

These great families are united, and even the emperor's holy decree or the eunuchs sent out can be completely ignored!

The Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society composed of these people have become a super huge group under the organization of decades, although there are contradictions and infighting with each other, but in some things, they can respond to all kinds of calls, as long as they have a bright and upright reputation, even if they are dirty behind their backs, they can also attract a large number of enthusiastic scholars to participate.

And with the influence of the gentry students, hundreds of students are the representatives of tens of thousands of gentry scholars, and tens of thousands of scholars can influence hundreds of millions of people!

The Wei and Jin dynasty lords monopolized official hats and land, while the Ming and Qing dynasties monopolized knowledge and social prestige!

………… After the Qianqing Palace, Yangdezhai is still the same as the old system, it is the emperor's sleep that finally spent a little manpower and material resources to repair, Chongzhen rested here, and usually summoned some closer ministers, after all, other places are too decayed, and it is really not a system. Today, for the crown prince to come back, the palace is also gathered together, from Queen Zhang and Queen Zhou, the two queens, and then the princes, princesses, Xinle Hou Liu Wenbing and other close relatives of the royal family have arrived, Chongzhen is also in a very good mood, wearing a very clean dragon robe, although there are a few conspicuous patches on the hem, but people look very energetic.

For the great achievements made by the eldest son of the emperor, he put down the current scene, and he thought to himself, it is also right to start this promising son.

As for the concubines and princesses, they talked and laughed in front of his knees, harmonious and calm, and full of family affection, which also made him secretly sigh in his heart: "This is all my son's work, thinking about it, I should be ashamed!" ”

has this kind of thought, and is even more eager to see Zhu Cihong as soon as possible, one is the rare tenderness in his heart, and the other is to discuss with this promising son, what to do next!

Is it to form a new cabinet now, and then issue a proclamation to sacrifice the Northern Expedition?

How to deploy soldiers and how to ensure the source of salary?

As an emperor who has dealt with national affairs for 17 years and spends almost every day in anxiety, Chongzhen is already very disappointed in the officials, and he has no hope at all for the generals who lead the troops.

At present, of course, the ministers in the north who can be trusted, and among the ministers in the south, Shi Kefa seems to be credible in guarding the ministers, Zhu Cihong has also talked about a little, but guarding does not represent ability, Chongzhen didn't think anything before, but since the consideration method taught by Zhu Cihong to re-look at the ministers, the ability of the ministers, including Shi Kefa, is no longer a big hope.

"The Emperor."

At this moment of harmony and rare joy in the royal family, a little eunuch ran into the palace quickly, snorted heavily under the golden platform where Chongzhen was sitting, and reported: "The young master has just entered the city gate not far away, and he is walking in the direction of Qipan Street, but he was blocked by a group of students. ”

"What?" Chongzhen recognized that this little eunuch was a close attendant next to Wang Chengen, very alert and reliable, so what he said was definitely true, he stood up suddenly, and felt that it was dark in front of him, and he actually sat back again.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......"

"Emperor, cherish, Emperor......"

"Father's ......"

A large group of people gathered around, called different names, but they were all crying, among which Zhaoren was the youngest, and when he saw the chaos in the hall, the little girl's mouth was flattened, and she was already crying.

In terms of royal rules, of course, it is very rude, if it is in the past, Chongzhen will be very angry, will call the royal brand in the Zhaoren Palace to come out, strictly reprimand, and will not pretend to be after the week, but today I only feel a burst of fatigue in my heart, at this moment, he only loves this little daughter!

He barely opened his eyes, waved his hand first, and said, "I'm fine, don't mess around." Then, he said softly, "Bring Zhaoren to my side." ”

"Yes, Emperor."

A eunuch agreed, and led Zhaoren to Chongzhen's side, Chongzhen stretched out his hand, and had already touched Zhaoren's round little face, he smiled slightly, straightened his body, and carried the child vigorously and held it in his arms.

"Father's ......"

There was also a deep doubt in Zhaoren's eyes.

The royal family pays attention to holding grandchildren and not children, although the daughter is indulgent, she usually has to talk about the rules, Zhaoren has reached the time to establish rules, at a young age, since I can remember, I don't remember when this father hugged himself!

"Ruthless may not be a true hero, how can a poor son not be a husband?" Chongzhen pinched Zhaoren's little face and said with a smile: "These two poems of your eldest brother are very good, and my father is very happy." ”

This poem is still when the sea is turbulent, Chongzhen is forced to be calm, there are two girls Changping and Zhaoren on the royal boat, Zhu Cihong persuaded them to often go to the emperor to kneel down to be happy, a little to relieve the depression at sea, Chongzhen was against it at that time, Zhu Cihong smiled and smiled, and said these two sentences.

Chongzhen was silent at the time, but he was very happy in his heart, so he was very impressed.

Holding Zhaoren in his arms, Chongzhen's face was already full of murderous anger, he paused slightly, and shouted in a low voice: "Someone!" ”

"Yes, please command, Emperor."

"Summoning Qiu Yuanyi to come, take him with his subordinates to ride on foot, wear armor and carry bows, bring more firearms, and stand by outside the Qianqing Gate!"

"Yes, slave and maid are going!"

The holy order, and murderous, the eunuch who undertook the decree was frightened, and after agreeing, he immediately went out backwards, and when he arrived near the entrance of the temple, because he was too eager to retreat, his boots stumbled on the threshold, and the whole person fell backwards, and immediately fell into a dog eating.

In Zhaoren's unconcealable giggles, the two queens and the rest of the concubines and royal relatives all smiled slightly, and Chongzhen didn't feel a slight smile, and the depression in his heart seemed to be relieved a lot.

Others didn't dare to say anything, only Empress Zhang bowed her head slightly, nodded, and said with a smile: "Qiu Yuanyi is loyal and straightforward, cautious and serious, and the soldiers under his command are also very loyal. ”

With her opening, she followed all the way south from Yanjing, and Liu Wenbingcai, the Marquis of Xinle, who was also extremely respectful to Zhu Cihong, said: "The emperor is wise and decisive this time, it is very appropriate, the minister asks for the order, if you need to use Qiu Yuanyi for a while, the minister also asks to go with you." ”

"Yes!"

Chongzhen nodded and said softly, "I hope I don't need it...... However, when it is time to use it, I will never be relentless! ”

………… It's just a while, the whole street is already full of onlookers on both sides of the street, not only the roofs and walls, but also a lot of trees.

When Shi Kefa and Wang Chengen rushed over, hundreds of students were already surrounded by water, and there was no way to maintain the forbidden army of the scene, the students had always walked sideways in Nanjing City, a while ago, even Xiao Xu Guogong had suffered a big loss in front of the Hou Fang Yu Hou eldest prince of the Fushe, ordinary people, who provoked them?

Of course, the crown prince is an exception, but this show is crazy, lighting incense and holding together, blocking the crown prince's way, such a big scene, if you don't look at it, you are simply sorry for yourself!

"Huang Taichong, Hou Chaozong, you, you are so bold!"

As soon as Shi Kefa rushed over, he saw Huang Zongxi and the Zongfang brothers, and then looked at the past, all of them were the sons of Yishui's Fushe, what Hou Fangyu, Gu Gao, Xia Yunyi and others were among them. It was Chen Zhenhui, who was also standing in front of the queue.

When Shi Kefa saw it, he was also quite helpless, looked at Chen Zhenhui, and said, "What, you are here too?" ”

"Where justice lies, students have to come."

Chen Zhenhui has always been steady, and does not agree with the political views of Huang Zongxi, especially Liu Zongzhou and others. However, as the backbone of the Restoration Society, he has a high prestige, and if he refuses to come to this major event today, wouldn't he give someone a handle?

Moreover, the fact that the former enemy of the crown prince led the army as a general, and even annexed the minister's army, in Chen Zhenhui's opinion, was indeed wrong.

Seeing him like this, Shi Kefa looked back, and saw that Mao Xiang was also smiling bitterly, he shook his head slightly, and said in a reproachful tone: "What, you didn't tell me beforehand?" ”

"At the time of the secret discussion, I did not agree with this matter, but I also agreed not to disclose it. If you had said it beforehand, wouldn't you be a traitor? ”

Such a high-sounding statement, but the top Shi Kefa was helpless, and he had to say to Chen Zhenhui and others at the moment: "Isn't this law done by people?" Can a student break the law? Advise Er to retreat quickly, repent and surrender, and the students will ask the emperor for forgiveness...... Now is the time, don't make any more trouble, okay? ”
