Chapter 606: Reserve a way out

"Evil obstacles! Old man ......"

The words slandering the sage came out of his son's mouth, Yang Tinghe was so angry that his eyes were black, his throat was sweet, and his heart was bitter, he raised his arm and was about to slap him. [No pop-up novel network]

Yang Shen didn't dodge or dodge, he craned his neck and looked directly at his father, and when he talked about poetry and verses with the father and son before, his expression of insisting on his own opinion was the same. Yang Tinghe has been an official outside these years, and he can be regarded as abandoning his wife and children, although he is helpless, but he still feels a little guilty about his son.

can think of Yang Shen's words, but the tone in his chest can't be calmed down, he Yang Tinghe is a great Confucian in the world, when he is the auxiliary minister of the court, his son said this kind of rebellious words, but he has not corrected it, if it is spread out, it will be embarrassing, maybe it will cause a storm within the Shi Party, at this critical moment, isn't it a big mistake?

"Sir...... Young master, don't say it, don't be angry with the master, hurry up and apologize to the master......" His father and son were deadlocked, and the old housekeeper took advantage of this opportunity to hurriedly step forward to support the master and persuade the young master.

"You go to the study, study hard, prepare for the exam, today, don't say it outside, or ......" Yang Tinghe suppressed his anger, he originally wanted his son to go to Li Dongyang to ask for advice, although his knowledge is not inferior to the other party, but it is a matter of parent-child, he really can't calm down, but thinking of Li Dongyang's recent attitude, he hesitated.

"Daddy......" Yang Shen wanted to speak and stopped, before this conversation, he had already made enough preparations, but when it came to the end, after all, it was the blood of father and son, and he really couldn't talk about the next words, compared to that incident, the previous ones were just lies. He wanted to convince his father, but he didn't want to make the other party angry.

“…… The child quits. ”

Yang Shen turned to leave, and the study was quiet, only the sound of Yang Tinghe's heavy breathing echoed in bursts. From his son's expression, Yang Tinghe saw that his son was not impulsive, but thoughtful, don't look at him as if he had given in now, but in fact, his thoughts have not changed at all.

"Yang He, who did Shen'er meet and do in Tianjin?"

"Master Qiqi, when I first arrived, the young master only observed those new institutions for a while, and then suddenly decided to stay...... After that, he went out early and returned late every day, and he kept visiting Tianjin, and asked the merchants and scribes there for advice, but he did not meet any special people. ”

The housekeeper was also puzzled by the sudden change of his young master, but his account was quite clear.

"How can it be so ......" I have never seen a special person, that is to say, Yang Shen's point of view is obtained through his own observation, and then analyzed it, Yang Tinghe is also a scholar, he knows very well that such a change is difficult to reverse, therefore, he is a little at a loss.

"Anything else?" Thinking that his son seemed to be unfinished, and the old housekeeper also looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Yang Tinghe asked again.

"Yes, sir......" When replying, the housekeeper hesitated a little, peeking at the old man's expression from time to time, "The young master is very interested in Tianjin's new policy, saying that that kind of policy can make people perform their duties, increase efficiency, and create wealth to the greatest extent......"

"To the point, the old man can stand it." For this bad news, Yang Tinghe has been mentally prepared enough.

"Yes......" The housekeeper gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind, anyway, the young master doesn't seem to be changing his mind, and sooner or later he will let the master know, rather than being caught off guard at that time, it is better to know in advance, and make some preparations.

"The young master once asked people about how to go to the yamen to apply, and it seemed that he intended to become a career in Tianjin, and when he was told that the new officials had to go to the academy, he began to inquire about the news of the academy......"

"What!" Yang Tinghe's hand trembled, and his heart trembled.

This news really shocked him more than the previous controversy, the students of the academy, and the traditional scholars, can be said to be mortal enemies, although they are all studying, but on the one hand, they are taking into account the hundred schools, and on the other hand, they are respecting Confucianism, if it were not for the emperor is too strong, the academy would have been smashed long ago.

Even with the strength of Zhengde, the academy was established for nearly two years, but it still did not expand outward, because it did not dare to move lightly because it anticipated local resistance.

The competition between the two sides in the capital is also fierce. In the beginning, it was Shilin who suppressed the academy in many ways through public opinion and other means, and the academy stubbornly survived; Since last summer, the situation in the court has reversed, and the academic world has evolved into a situation in which the academy poached Shilin, and Shilin strictly guarded it.

Up to now, Shilin has completely fallen into the upper hand, and can only be beaten passively, a considerable proportion of the test takers have been shaken, and even many people have taken action, and the situation is precarious.

The style of the academy is as unruly as its founder, and they refuse to bow their heads when they fall behind, and after they have the upper hand, of course, they will not be merciful, and they uphold the idea of eliminating evil and do everything they can, and they chase after Shilin fiercely.

The most obvious sign is that they have set the time for the unified enrollment of colleges and universities in the academy on the ninth day of the second month, that is, the first day of the entrance examination.

There is no doubt that this is a naked provocation and contempt, but the scholars are helpless, in the capital, their means have no room to play at all, who let them meet an emperor who holds military power and is unreasonable?

In this situation, if his son also went to the academy to apply, how far-reaching would the impact be, and how terrible would the consequences be...... Yang Tinghe almost didn't dare to think about it anymore.

What to do? Persuade, it is estimated that it is impossible to persuade people, and use force to lock people up? But if it is closed for a while, can it be closed for a lifetime? What's more, after his son entered Beijing, his name has already shaken the capital Shilin and has received great attention, and not participating in the examination for no reason will also cause great doubts.

"Prepare the car......" sighed and spit out two words, Yang Tinghe's mood was extremely low.

"Master, where are you going?" The housekeeper didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered to go down, and when the carriage and horses were ready, Yang Tinghe got into the car, he opened his mouth to ask.

"Go to the Lee University Scholar's Mansion."

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Tinghe still didn't have a clue, Yang Tinghe decided to ask for help, in addition to being colleagues, he and Li Dongyang also had a good personal relationship, and the latter was also Yang Shen's teacher. Heaven and Earth are the prince's teacher, and the teacher's status is not below his father.

"Yes, sir."

Li Mansion, Yang Tinghe was already running very diligently, and the Yang family's coachman was also very proficient, and the two families were not far away, and they arrived in a short time.

Seeing that it was Lord Yang who came to visit, the porter of the Li Mansion did not dare to slack off, on the one hand, he sent someone to inform the master, and on the other hand, he respectfully led the guests to the study.

"Jiefu, what are you ......" Yang Tinghe came to the door, Li Dongyang was not surprised, in the first month, the other party ran to his house. But when he saw his old friend, Li Shoufu was still startled.

Is this still the Yang Jiefu who is famous all over the world for his demeanor?

The man's eyes were red, as if he hadn't slept for days; His face was pale, as if he had just been fished out of the water; Even his eyes were a little sloppy, even if it was Chinese New Year's Eve night, discussing the big time that was related to the safety of the world, Yang Tinghe was also calm and calm, and now he looked like this...... What a blow it was!

Could it be that the emperor decided to remove all the scholars in the court? In addition to this incident, Li Dongyang really couldn't think of anything that could stimulate his old friend like this.

"Alas, Brother Xiya, little brother, it's really bitter." As if he had seen his relatives, Yang Tinghe sighed when he saw Li Dongyang, and his eyes even had a bright light, or it was more appropriate to say that it was water.

"What the hell is ......" Li Dongyang was dumbfounded, he was really frightened, the situation between the DPRK and China has been grim for a while, but Yang Tinghe has always been very strong, is it because the pressure has accumulated too much? Otherwise, they are not fellow countrymen, how can they burst into tears as soon as they meet?

"The family is unfortunate......" was too stimulated, Yang Tinghe was distracted for a while, and when he saw Li Dongyang's stunned appearance, he also felt out of shape, and hurriedly gathered his mind and told what happened today.

"I knew that this was the case, and the little brother would stop the rebel from going to Tianjin, but who would have thought that it would be like this. Brother Xiya, Shen'er Ping said that he has always respected you, if you come to persuade him, maybe ......"

"I'm afraid it won't work." Li Dongyang shook his head slowly and sighed: "Yongxiu is a surname of outer and inner gang, since he has made up his mind, he will not even hesitate to contradict it...... Presumably, there must have been a thorough understanding, and persuasion cannot be persuaded. ”

"But ......" Yang Tinghe sat down in a daze, how could he not know this, he came to the Li Mansion to report the idea of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, at this time his hope was shattered, and his mood was also extremely low.

"Actually......" Li Dongyang pondered for a moment, and suddenly said amazingly: "This is not a good thing." ”

"Huh?" This time it was Yang Tinghe's turn to be dumbfounded, how could this be a good thing, could it be that Li Xiya was also confused?

"Yongxiu has been very smart since he was a child, and all kinds of things in Tianjin are observed by him," Li Dongyang paused slightly, as if he was wording, "Before he went, under the influence of us, he must have had prejudices, but then there was such a change, which shows that Tianjin's new policy is indeed unique, otherwise he would not have said these words." ”

"That Xie Hong has always acted flamboyantly, easy to dazzle, Shen Er he is young, maybe ......" Hearing that there was something wrong with the words, Yang Tinghe hurriedly argued.

"Maybe you're right, but it can't be denied that what you see with Xiu is also the truth, and what you think of is not necessarily unreasonable."

Li Dongyang's words changed again: "Of course, Xie Hong has not been educated by the sage, and it is inevitable that his governance will be biased, but just like Wang Bo'an, if he joins it, he may not be able to play a role in correcting it." ”

"Kuang Zheng? Brother Xiya, do you mean ......" Yang Tinghe's eyes widened.

Two-sided betting, this is a common trick used by scholars, every troubled times, the family always has to face the same choice, the most famous is the Zhuge family in the Three Kingdoms era, three-sided betting will be the hegemony of the time to wipe out.

In fact, the fierceness of the court struggle is no less than that of the troubled times, especially now, but this is the first time that the Shi Party has raised a voice to compromise, so Yang Tinghe is not surprised.

After all, the current situation is completely different from ordinary political struggles, it is a life-and-death battle between two classes, how can there be room for betting on both sides?

"If we are defeated, there is always a seed to distinguish between right and wrong like Xiu, and we can place hopes on Xie Hong not to mess with the government; If the sages are wise and do not sink the Confucian Taoist system, it doesn't matter whether it is useful to cultivate or not......"

Li Dongyang's words became more and more straightforward, "Yu Dayi is like this, and Yu Jiefu is the same with his own family, think about Liu Xixian...... If there had been a clear decision, the virtuous nephew would not have ...... He said that if the real thing fails, you and I will be on the cusp of the limelight, and it will naturally be difficult to escape, but the family members are innocent......"

Before winning, thinking about defeat first, this was originally Li Dongyang's style, Yang Tinghe had always been a little disdainful in the past, but today it is about himself, and when he hears similar arguments, he has relatives and feels very reasonable.

"As for Shilin, there is a foolish brother who is responsible for it, and he will give you a satisfactory explanation." Li Dongyang added another sentence and completely settled the matter.
