Chapter 107: Gongshi Trouble
Early the next morning, Sun Shenxing rushed to Guozijian, thinking about the 598 candidates Qi Qizun's "seat teacher", he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
But after waiting for a long time, not half of the Gongshi entered the courtyard, and just as a strange moment, the sacrificial wine of the Guozijian (that is, the current principal) came to report in a panic: "Lord Sun, the Gongshi gathered outside the gate of the Guozijian today, but they refused to come in." ”
Sun Shenxing was furious and shouted: "Call them in, these literati are hypocritical, if it is not for fame and fortune, why did they rush to the capital to participate in the examination?" Now it's Dengke, and it's upside down. A herald, if they do not come in, disqualify the tributes. ”
Sun Shenxing's last sentence was really unashamed, admitting tributes, and the main examination was a word, but after admitting tributes, the list had been reported to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and it was promulgated to the world, even if the emperor himself, it was not easy to modify. How much energy does Sun Shenxing have to dare to openly revoke hundreds of tributes?
Guozi Jian Jiu passed Sun Shenxing's words to the master of Guozi Jian as they were, and asked him to go out and pass the order.
However, lies can always frighten many people, and soon after the chief secretary went out to give the order, many people continued to enter the country's prison66.
Sun Shenxing saw that the number of people was a little wrong, and asked the prince in a low voice: "Everyone has arrived?" Why are there only so many people? ”
The sacrificial wine was embarrassed and said, "My lord, there are still some tributes kneeling outside the door, unwilling to come in. ”
"What? You're such a piece of shit, you can't even do that. Wait for the old man to go out and have a look. ”
Sun Shenxing was a little panicked in his heart, and soon the three elders of the cabinet were going to come to the Guozijian to meet the tributes and admonish them, if they appeared in the chaotic scene of the Guozijian, it would be troublesome. I am now a guilty body, and if there is a problem here, it will be dangerous for all the people to be in danger. He estimated that it might be the trouble caused by the dethronement of Zhu Youcheng, but he did that thing seamlessly, and it was impossible for him to make a mistake.
When I walked to the door of the Guozijian, I saw a group of tributes kneeling outside.
Sun Shenxing pretended to be sanctimonious and asked kindly: "Fellow tributes, you are all elites from various provinces, and you are about to become the pillars of the country, why do you gather at the gate of the Guozijian and wait for the reception of the three cabinet elders?" ”
The three middle-aged men kneeling in the front row replied in unison: "There are wise men who have not entered, and we dare not trespass." ”
"Which Magi? How come I haven't heard of it? ”
"It's Zhu Youcheng, an undergraduate candidate. We saw four test papers on the opposite side of the Huang Bang, which were the test papers of us and Zhu Youcheng. Originally, we all thought that our answer sheet was beautiful and elegant, but after reading his majestic article, we were ashamed of ourselves and felt that he was not half a star. Although it is our lifelong wish to be the champion, the eye, and the flower, we are willing to bow to the sage. Now that Zhu Youcheng is off the list, we dare not enter the Guozijian before him. ”
"This Zhu Youcheng was against me before the exam, against me during the exam, and even if he finished the exam, he would have to go against me." Sun Shenxing muttered to himself. If it weren't for Zhu Youcheng, he would not have been arrested as a rebel before the exam; If it weren't for Zhu Youcheng, he wouldn't have been forced to be speechless during the exam; If it weren't for Zhu Youcheng, the tributes would not have gathered at the gate of the Guozijian after the exam and insisted on not entering. This pile of piles, how can you not let Sun Shenxing hate Zhu Youcheng so much that the root of his teeth itches?
"Who are you?" Sun Shenxing decided to clean up the three leaders and clean them up, are you still afraid that the people behind you will not obediently enter the Guozijian?
"I'm Wen Zhenmeng."
"I'm Fu Guan."
"I'm Jin Renxi."
The names reported by the three made Sun Shenxing hesitate, if it was the candidates next to him, it would be fine, but these three people were Huiyuan, the second and the third, maybe they were already in the emperor's heart, if they were dealt with privately, they would definitely get into big trouble.
From a distance, he saw three red sedan chairs coming to Guozijian, presumably it was the cabinet assistant Gu Bingqian, the cabinet deputy assistant Sun Chengzong, and Wen Donglai. They had already informed Sun Shenxing yesterday that they would come to the country today to visit the tributes.
The tributes are about to take part in the palace examination in the main hall of the imperial palace. Unlike the township examination and the general examination, the palace examination generally no longer dethrones the candidates, but determines the ranking of the jinshi, so the gongshi is basically already a jinshi, and the three elders of the cabinet naturally want to come to visit and express their concern.
But the three sedan chairs were blocked outside and couldn't get in.
Sun Shenxing was in a hurry, and hurriedly said the reason for deposing Zhu Youcheng: "Candidate Zhu Youcheng's test paper is indeed very exciting, but he did not shy away from mentioning the emperor's name, so we took the main exam and cut off his test paper. Originally, he was to be arrested and put on trial in prison, but we loved him so much that we never announced the reason for his fall. ”
Fu Guan and Chen Renxi nodded, quite moved, and prepared to stand up and walk into Guozijian. They were reluctant to come, but the four papers were posted together, and the high level of the article made people suspect that the examiner had accepted bribes to let them go to high school, and in order to prove their innocence, they knelt at the door of the Guozijian to petition. Now Sun Shenxing gave an excuse that seemed flawless, and the two of them also wanted to get off the donkey and give themselves a step down. After all, if Zhu Youcheng is allowed to come in, their ranking will drop by one place. Especially Chen Renxi, who was originally a good first-class Tanhuaxuan, had to squeeze into the second-class and mix with the group of jinshi.
But Wen Zhenmeng pulled the sleeves of the two and pulled the two back.
He said aloud: "Master Sun, I have carefully read his test papers, and the words 'by' and 'school' do not appear in them. If it is the words 'day' and 'enlightenment', they have appeared in the article, but these two words are the name of the year, and they can't match the offense at all. ”
"The word 'by', the emperor has the word 'by' in his respect, and he wrote the word 'by', which is a crime."
"Lord Sun, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have implemented benevolent government and loved the people like sons, and once stipulated that as long as the words of the offense are connected to be different from the emperor's name, they are not considered offenses, how did they become offenses when they come to adults?"
The Ming Dynasty did grasp relatively little about the crime, unlike the Jiannu who stole the Han family, and the taboo was staggering, such as the so-called Yongzheng Emperor, because his name was Yinzhen, so after he ascended the throne, his elder brother and younger brother were not allowed to use the word "Yin", and had to use the word "Yun" instead, and even his favorite thirteenth brother was renamed Yunxiang. Where is it like the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of the Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, and his younger brother King Xin is still called Zhu Youzhen.
"Why isn't it connected? His surname is Zhu Youcheng, and when he connects Zhu You, isn't it the same as the emperor's name? ”
Although the law stipulates that it is the same as the emperor's name to be considered a crime, Zhu You's two characters are one surname and the other is a name, which is slightly different from the law, but Sun Shenxing's strong argument can barely be justified.
But Wen Zhenmeng is a tenacious person, never admit defeat lightly, he said: "Lord Sun, in the three characters 'Zhu Youcheng' on the manuscript of the test paper I saw, the horizontal in the middle of the word 'by' is quite short, and it has become a typo, which is one of the ways to avoid it, so he didn't make a mistake, please think twice." ”
"You sour ding, why are you always rambling here, do you think you can do whatever you want after taking the exam? Do you think that this official cannot punish you? ”
"Who said that Wen Zhenmeng, the nephew of this official, should be punished?" A majestic voice came.
Sun Shenxing raised his eyes and saw that it was Wen Donglai, the second assistant of the cabinet.
Wen Donglai is a very special assistant, because he has repeatedly participated in the examination, repeatedly defeated, and then somehow caught the line of the Wanli Emperor, became a county commander, quite a political voice, and climbed higher and higher. Last year, he was favored by the Emperor of the Apocalypse and promoted to the second assistant of the cabinet. Originally, he was not qualified to serve as the deputy assistant of the cabinet, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly rose up and swept away the Donglin Party in Beijing in one fell swoop with a thunderous force.
Sun Shenxing thought that Wen Donglai's surname was Wen, Wen Zhenmeng's surname was Wen, and the surname Wen was not a big surname, so he immediately understood that there was a relationship between these two people, and said with a dry smile: "Where does Xia Guan dare to bully your nephew, he is a new branch Huiyuan, and after the palace examination in the future, he will be the champion." ”
Wen Donglai ignored him, and said to his nephew with a smile: "Zhenmeng, back then, our uncle and nephew studied together, but unfortunately the examination luck has not been good, I didn't expect you to become a Huiyuan this year, it is really a shame for our Wen family." But you too, you didn't notify me when you arrived in Beijing, and I didn't know that you came to Beijing until I saw the list, and you also won the Huiyuan. ”
Wen Zhenmeng sighed and said, "I originally hoped to meet the third uncle again after winning Huiyuan, but unfortunately this year's science field is ......, alas, you see that I am still kneeling here." ”
