468 Anthology and Martial Arts
These officials in Tongzhou usually see the people who come to sue the family. At the worst, they will be reprimanded and threatened to fool people away, and at worst, they will break their legs and cripple them, and then they will be charged with contempt for the family, slander the nobles, and extort money, and they will be sent to prison.
Their method of reversing black and white works very smoothly, but it doesn't work all the time. For example, when I met a man who avenged his parents, he was really a man with a tendon, just because the new colored fabrics were dyed at home, and they were sold in a lot of money. The elm head of the family refused to take the initiative to give the picket recipe, so they blocked the way of the godbrother of a certain son of the Xu family, and then was cleaned up. The pair of old parents were pushing, one of them hit the counter with his head, and he died directly, and the other witnessed the death of his old wife, and he was too stimulated, and he never got up after falling to the ground. As the only son of two elders, he must avenge his parents, but since they intend to reconcile, you take the hundred and ten taels of silver and smooth things out.
Your arms can't twist your thighs, and you're too powerful to be others, so you can only suffer this stuffy loss. Who knew that the only son was really a hard bone that could not be harder, and he came to the yamen to sue three times, and saw that the yamen favored the family, and never did anything, and finally wanted to sue the emperor in the capital. What was the result, it was not that he was given the name of an assassin family, he was directly put into prison, and died tragically in prison for unknown reasons.
There are too many unjust souls like this in Tongzhou Prison.
Not only in Tongzhou, but also in the entire Jiangnan, where the family is most powerful, there is no shortage of such unjust cases.
But who made the family powerful?
Just because you are a sufferer does not mean that you are justified, and you must be treated fairly. Only those who are powerful, those who have the right to speak, are eligible for the so-called "justice".
The officials of the Tongzhou Yamen are very comfortable with the call of reversing black and white.
Therefore, there are not a few unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.
In the past, it was just that, the common people suffered several losses, and they understood that the yamen and the family were in cahoots, and they could only grit their teeth and swallow blood in order to survive. But now it's different, now that the Governor is looking for them, they don't dare to speak out about their grievances, and when will they wait?
As a result, there was a wave of lawsuits against the family, and then dozens of people appeared, suing the major officials in Tongzhou for protecting each other, benefiting the people, reversing black and white, and protecting the family......
These people were either those who had suffered losses in the Yamen, or the relatives of those "prisoners" who had died tragically in prison. I can't avenge my own grievances, I can't get my relatives wronged, but I also lost my life and family property, who can swallow this breath?
The eyes of the people holding the paper outside the yamen were all red, and they looked at the eyes of the servants and the old men in the hall, as if they were about to tear them apart and eat them.
The officers hung their heads and trembled, and clenched their waist knives vigilantly. The adults in the lobby were even more pale, their lips bloodless, and they wanted to defend but could not speak. Then he was suddenly taken off his official hat by the new governor who suddenly appeared in the court, and pressed into a prison to listen to interrogation.
This move was far beyond the expectations of the people, who never imagined that the new governor would be so decisive and aggressive.
The people were amazed and shouted excitedly. Immediately, this matter swept through Tongzhou like a tornado in just two days, and for a while, more sufferers rushed to Tongzhou.
The officers, officials, and clerks in the yamen are basically not innocent. If they are all imprisoned, the entire Tongzhou Yamen will stop functioning.
At the critical time when Xu Yi made a move against the family, if Xu Yi stabbed the hornet's nest of the yamen again, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
Jinniang, Chang'an and Brother Rong, who heard this, were all worried.
However, the officials and families of the other state capitals, after hearing this, laughed at Xu Yi for digging his own grave, but at the same time, they couldn't help but worry about their own situation.
Xu Yi is the governor of Liangjiang, and all officials in Liangjiang must have a certain right to appoint and dismiss. In other words, their future and life are in Xu Yi's hands.
If he can't sort out the chaos in Tongzhou, when he straightens it out and pulls out his hand, won't they be the next person to deal with?
The families put aside their previous suspicions and secretly connected with each other. Officials also wrote letters to their patrons or families.
Outside the south of the Yangtze River is quiet and peaceful, it is still the bustling and lively Jiangnan, but the tide below has already surged. Just wait for the time to overturn them all.
Just when the outside world was staring at the movement in Tongzhou, Xu Erlang announced the notice of Wen Xuanshi.
The notice stated that as long as there is a meritorious person or above, the officials below the fourth grade of Tongzhou should be selected in the literary selection examination five days later; Those who have small skills, good looks, and clean net worth, after passing the assessment, can enter the yamen as an errand soldier.
After passing the assessment period in March, the officials who have entered the product will write to the imperial court and directly issue the corresponding documents. As for the errand who entered the yamen, they could enjoy all the benefits of the yamen errands, and even after they were old, they could also give grace to a child of the family.
As soon as this notice was issued, it was even more influential and sensational than the previous families and officials who were imprisoned.
Xu Erlang said that it was five days, which seemed to be a tight time, but it was enough for the news to spread to all places in Tongzhou, and enough for students who wanted to participate in the selection of scholars to rush to Tongzhou from the place of household registration.
Because the news was a special sign from Xu Erlang, several disciples of the Tongzhou Martial Arts Hall asked them to go to various counties and towns to convey it non-stop. These people are qualified to apply, and most of them have even passed the examination and have already put on the clothes of the errand service. This greatly increased their enthusiasm for doing things, and they only thought about repaying the kindness of adults.
Then the waters in Tongzhou extend in all directions, and it is very convenient and fast for ships to come and go. So these people ran through the area of their mission with the notice, and when they returned to Tongzhou, only three days had passed.
And from the first day, Tongzhou City has been lively like never before.
The street is no longer the usual quiet appearance, but people come and go, everywhere are scholars wearing scarves dressed as students, as well as dignified and majestic men.
Needless to say, these people naturally came to participate in the anthology and martial arts. Although they are opponents of each other, because of this rare opportunity, and some people have a long-term vision, they know that adults will not just do it to the officials and servants of the Tongzhou Yamen, and then free their hands, they will definitely check everything from top to bottom.
There are so many counties and towns under the capital of Tongzhou, even if the number of officials and servants required for each county and town is limited, but it adds up to a very large number. Even if they don't apply this time, they will leave their names and places of origin, and if they have such an opportunity next time, they will have the right of first refusal.
It is precisely because of this news circulating in the dark that everyone lives in harmony, and it is no longer a matter of care.
Soon it was the day of the selection of Wen and Wu Xuan, and the Wu Xuan was presided over by Mohe. Although he is not an official, the identity of the governor's cronies is enough to allow him to run rampant in the entire Jiangnan. Presiding over a small martial arts selection is just a master, Mohe has this ability and this qualification.
As for the anthology, it was presided over by Xu Erlang himself. And the title of the scholar was naturally named by Xu Erlang himself.
There are more than 1,000 students who participated in the selection of scholars, and the vast majority of them have talents and fame, and there are also a lot of people, and even Jinshi, there are a few. And three of them especially made Xu Erlang look a few more times.
One of them was his fellow student. The difference between the two is that Xu Erlang is the champion of that subject, while Chen Yun falls into the same jinshi.
Chen Yun is around forty years old, and he is also thirty and immediately won the same jinshi. This can't be regarded as outstanding, but it can be on the list, and this is not an ordinary person.
It's just that this person's luck is especially worse.
After he was admitted to the Tongjinshi, he was ready to participate in the selection examination of the Hanlin Academy, so that his career would be better. As a result, just two days before the assessment, the news came from the family that my father had died suddenly under the excitement.
His parents died, and the official Ding worried for three years. Although this is not an official, his father died, and he will go back to mourn immediately.
Don't say anything about taking the Hanlin Academy exam and then going back, even your father's funeral can be abandoned, and only care about your own future, such a person will not be able to stand on his feet in the court.
Emperor Yunwen valued filial piety and attached great importance to this matter. If he really stays in the exam, let alone fail the exam, even if he passes, he will leave an indelible stain in his life, and he will also be rejected by his superiors, and he will not want to be reused for the rest of his life.
But that's how I went home to mourn...... You must know that the Jinshi and the same Jinshi who have been counted three times ago still have many opportunities to sit on the cold bench in the capital and wait for the release.
When he left, he couldn't enter Beijing for three years, and when he got out of filial piety, who would still remember him? Does he still have a chance to be a leader?
If you don't go, you can't go, and if you go, it's equivalent to abandoning your career, this person is in a dilemma, but there is only one way out for him.
This Xu Erlang's fellow went back to Jiangnan to mourn his parents, and then went to the capital for three years of filial piety, wanting to give himself a future. It's a pity that the new imperial examination has just ended, and the current Tongjinshi and Jinshi have nowhere to be placed. He was absent for so many years, and he did not have the capital and ability to curry favor with the camp, so he finally stayed in the capital for half a year, and finally returned to his hometown depressed, and opened a private school in his ancestral land to teach students.
Ten years have passed, but he has become a well-known gentleman in the township, but on the other hand, Xu Erlang, who is in the same department as him, is already the governor of Zheng Erpin, who dominates the two rivers.
The second person who made Xu Erlang look at him twice was introduced by Li Hehui, and he was also a person who had a deep friendship with him...... Cousins.
This person is quite special in terms of identity.
He was born in the outer room, and he is also the outer room of a marquis.
โโAfter the third princess of the first emperor married into the noble family of the capital, the heir was difficult, and she only had one daughter after ten years of marriage. Because the princess had nowhere else to go after that, she was so pained by this daughter that she even ran to the palace and asked the new monarch to ascend the throne, that is, the current Emperor Yunwen, to give her daughter the title of county lord and go to the court Jade Butterfly.
The county lord and the queen married Wen'anhou in Jiangnan, because the princess did not come out for three years after she got married, the old lady of Wen'anhou's mansion anxiously proposed to take concubines and have sex. The princess was arrogant and willful, jealous and tricky, and in front of the old lady Wen'anhou, she took a whip and whipped the horse. The old lady of Wen Anhou was so angry that she fainted on the spot.
There are both sides of this matter, but the princess is the proud daughter of the sky, the golden branches and jade leaves, who dares to accuse her? Because of the emperor's face, the Marquis of Wen'an forcibly endured this breath. But the old lady of Wen'anhou is worried that her son is too old and has no heirs, and then there is no one to inherit this title, and the glory of Wen'anhou will be cut off at this point. So after discussing with Wen Anhou, he chose a girl from the old lady's mother's house who was unattended as the outer room, thinking that Wen Anhou would have a son and a half daughter, so as to inherit the family business.
The outer maid was also angry, and a year later, she added a son to the Wen'an Hou Mansion. But because it was a little difficult to give birth, Mrs. Wen Anhou and Wen Anhou went to visit in person worriedly, but they were peeped at by the people under the county lord, so the matter was revealed.
The county lord was furious and knocked on the door, and the outer room, which was already difficult to give birth, was whipped by the princess again, and passed out directly. Because the fetus was holding in the womb for too long, worried that the child would be good if she held it any longer, the old lady of Wen'an Hou recited the Buddha and asked the child to be dissected alive.
The child is alive, he is a man, and there are successors in the Wen'an Hou Mansion, which is pleasing to people.
But the outer chamber was alive and dead.
I don't know what to say afterwards, this outer room was taken back by the county lord to raise. But because it is not biological, the child will naturally not have a good life.
At the beginning, the county lord held the child under his knees, and he listened to the advice of the grandmother's "introduction"; And because of the persuasion of the grandmother, the child's mother has passed away, and there is no other involvement, the child is born to the Hou Ye, and the princess is just right to raise it, and the old lady of the province uses the excuse of having no children to arrange a concubine room for the Hou Ye.
It is also a coincidence that the child was raised until three months, and the county lord became pregnant, and gave birth nine months later, but it was a very healthy baby boy.
With a son-in-law, the eldest son becomes an eyesore. The county lord tried to kill the child several times, but the child was really fatal, and he was able to escape every time. Although his body became weak because of falling into the water in winter, he had to take precious medicinal herbs every day to raise him, but he was always sick and crooked enough to marry a wife and have children.
It was at this juncture that Wen Anhou got sick, and it took only seven days from the onset of illness to his death.
Wen'an Houfu is naturally inherited by the county lord's son-in-law, and everything that should be in hand has been obtained, and the county lord is unwilling to raise a gold-swallowing beast, so he simply swept the eldest son out of the house.
The old lady of Wen Anhou became the lady at this time.
The son is gone, and the grandson has no opinions, so everything is arranged by his mother, and he is not close to her, a grandmother. At this time, Mrs. Tai was not embarrassed or embarrassed in the Hou Mansion, but the situation became more difficult than before, and where could she take care of another grandson?
So, the eldest son of the Marquis of Wen'an went out of the house.
The eldest son of this concubine is named Chang Chaohui, and after the separation, he disappeared without a trace, and then he became famous, but he had already been promoted.
is just simple and enlightened, he can't get out of the room since he was a child, and he hasn't even taken a serious class.
