West Wall of Gongyuan.

Under the corridor, the yellow paper with people's names written on them is neatly arranged......

"I won, I've won thirty-two!"

"Daddy, the child is incompetent!"

……

All sorts of howls, resounding in the crowd.

At the moment, there are a lot of people here, in fact, not only people, but also livestock, after all, there may be too many people to squeeze through, but riding a horse or donkey, you can still have a height advantage. After experiencing a test that is comparable to torture, they are waiting for this fate-determining moment, and the ranking on the yellow paper in front of them represents whether they can leap over the dragon gate and become a master.

Ecstatic in the exam.

The ghost of the fallen one cried wolf.

And Wang Wei ......

"Did you find you?"

He grabbed Jiao Sheng and asked eagerly.

"No, I see from the beginning to the end, there is no you and me at all, don't talk about you and me, we don't have one in Shanxi."

Jiao Sheng said angrily.

At this time, a man next to him turned his head as if he had suddenly woken up......

"Two, no one in Shanxi is on the list? Isn't it rumored that Ambassador Yang asked Shanxi for Jinshi? ”

He said.

"I'm Wang Wei!"

Wang Wei said angrily.

He really wanted to be angry at this time, you must know that although he didn't dare to recognize Yang Feng at that time, Yang Feng's guarantee was remembered, he thought that his talent was worse than Jiao Sheng, and although the possibility in today's scientific examination was not impossible, it was not big. And Yang Feng's assurance made him sure that he would win, after all, Ambassador Yang's face is there, and others are not easy to say, he must be indispensable to take care of this focus, but now he has not even tried it! He can't even be qualified for the palace test, let alone Jinshi, the emperor wants to give Jinshi, at least he has to be able to try, so that the emperor can see his name.

This result hit him hard.

After all, the expectations were too high before, and now they fall too hard all of a sudden.

The man was stunned for a moment.

"In Dong'an, Beiping Prefecture, I raised my son to give gifts, and no one from my Beiping Prefecture was on the list."

He said.

Wang Wei was also stunned......

"There are no lifters in Shandong, and there are no high school students in Shandong!"

He shouted.

"In the lower Shandong, Han Kerang raised his son, and no one in Shandong was on the list!"

Not far away, a crying man shouted.

"Henan, Shaanxi, is there any!"

Wang Wei shouted.

"No one in Henan is on the list."

"Shaanxi has no one on the list!"

……

This was followed by a dozen angry shouts.

Those northern natives are also looking at each other at this time, there are currently five provinces in the north, and none of the five provinces have passed the exam, which means that it is almost obvious.

"Liu Sanwu, this old thief, he is a northerner who did not take it, he protects the southerners, deliberately abandons my northerners from the list, and the officials will let them do it in the future, this old thief is simply vicious."

Wang Wei almost roared.

"I didn't have the ability to pass the exam, but I blamed the examiner for coming, and sure enough, the northerner Hu Huashen learned the way of the sages for a few days, and he couldn't change his temperament, so he didn't even want to be an official."

The previous one, who had obviously been hit, turned his head and said disdainfully.

"Shi's ancestral home is Zhenjiang Dantu, his father went north to be blocked by the war, and he had to settle in Dong'an, and now the clan is in Dantu, who is Your Excellency? Who is the teacher? Where do you study? My Dantu Shi family has been a family of poetry and books since the Song Dynasty, and has been influenced by Confucianism for hundreds of years. ”

Shi Li said angrily.

The man was speechless for a while, and it is estimated that he didn't expect that there was a pseudo-northerner here.

"What about the Dantu people, don't you hear about the southern orange and the northern orange?"

Another southern man said disdainfully.

"You dare to insult me!"

Shi Li pushed him angrily.

This is indeed a bit ruthless, and it is directly a personal attack.

The latter couldn't be caught off guard, couldn't help but fall backwards, and then instinctively grabbed something, just next to him was the Shandong lifter Han Kerang, who was grabbed by him and tore his clothes at once, Han Kerang was furious, and kicked him when he raised his foot......

The scene was instantly chaotic.

"Fight, fight these southerners!"

"The northerners are murderous!"

……

The lifters quickly separated the north and the south, and then pushed each other.

The officials who maintained order next to him hurriedly stepped forward with their soldiers and quickly separated these future pillars of the court.

"Fellow students from the north, we can't let the southerners be so humiliated, knock on the drum, beat the drum, report Liu Sanwu to Your Majesty!"

Wang Wei stood on a donkey cart and shouted.

"Yes, beat the drum!"

"Beat the drum!"

……

There was an angry roar of the northern people around him.

There is clearly a ghost in this.

They admit that Confucianism in the north is indeed worse than in the south, after all, when those Confucian families in the Southern Song Dynasty were studying knowledge, they were still groveling at the feet of the Jurchens! Moreover, when the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, most of the Confucian families left, and there were not many people left in the north, and it was normal for there to be a gap between the north and the south. But the problem is that Shi Li is not a northerner at all, he is from a Zhenjiang family, and his grandfather is still Hu Yuan's ten thousand households, but his father went to Beiping as a son of a family to meet Emperor Yuan Shun, and when he was about to continue to be an official, the Red Turban Army rebelled. The north-south traffic was cut off, and his father had to settle in the north, and he was only the second generation, and he did not go to school in the north, but in the Dantu and their Shi family, and their Dantu Shi family was a Confucian family in the Song Dynasty.

He's a hairy northerner.

At most, it is a little bit of northern literary style, after all, only people can be promoted in the examination, and these have to be tested in the north, so it is inevitable to be affected.

In addition, not only him, there are also a large number of guards in the northern lifts, and there are also many original southern families who have been forcibly relocated, and they are indeed inevitably contaminated with some northern customs, but their family education is brought from the south.

It's only been more than 20 years, is there already a big gap to the point where there is a chasm?

Even if there is a northerner in the exam, everyone will reluctantly admit it, but now there is no one, not to mention that there are thirty percent of northerners who have more subjects before, and in the past, thirty percent of the jinshi were northerners, and now there is no one?

Not only insults our dignity, but also insults our intelligence!

Anyway, it's already gone.

Why don't you go out and make trouble?

With Wang Rui's raising of arms, those northern lifters who were already full of anger immediately followed him to the Dengwen Drum Courtyard, and Shi Li, Han Kerang, Jiao Sheng and others also sorted out their bodies and also caught up with Wang Rui, they walked in front, and the mighty northern lifters moved forward in this way in the onlookers of the people in the capital......

"Imperial grandson, I guessed right!"

Yang Feng looked at this scene and said with a smile to the imperial grandson beside him.

Of course, this good show should be enjoyed with Zhu Yunxi.

In fact, now the Confucian students have begun to abandon Zhu Yunwen, after all, he has little hope, the Confucian students are all sensible, except for a few who are still in love with Zhu Yunwen, most of them, including Liu Sanwu, have accepted the reality. After all, without the king of Jin Tuesday, Zhu Yunwen really has no cards in his hand, and Zhu Yuanzhang is obviously not ready to change the crown prince, in this case, of course, he must abandon Zhu Yunwen quickly.

I can't bury him!

So now Yang Feng just wants him to see what it means to form a party for personal gain.

"Liu Sanwu is over eighty, why is he still so ignorant, even if he takes three or five, he can block the mouth of the northern lifter, and if he doesn't take one, isn't this forcing them to make trouble?"

The imperial grandson said with a frown.

This result also surprised him, you must know that Liu Sanwu is not a fool, in fact, this old guy is very cunning, so this kind of behavior is completely out of his mind, and if he doesn't take it, he will force the north to raise his son to make trouble, because this is obviously too insulting to people's IQ.

He could not have failed to foresee such an outcome.

In previous years, there were at least twenty or thirty.

Now there is no one?

Is it possible?

Isn't this a clear bully?

What's more, this is not bullying a few people, behind these moves are five provinces, more than 10 million people, countless gentry, the northern Wenchen group in the imperial court, and there is also a left capital imperial history!

"He's in his eighties."

Yang Feng said earnestly.

"I'm a long way away, so I'm doing the opposite? These old things rely on the old and sell the old, relying on their own three bodies instead of becoming a charge, after I succeeded to the throne, I did not abolish the old law. ”

The imperial grandson sneered.

Indeed, Liu Sanwu is not worried, because he is over eighty, as long as it is not a political-level felony such as conspiracy to rebel and conspiracy, there is actually nothing else, even if he kills people between eighty and ninety, the emperor must personally convict him, and as for stealing and injuring people and paying ransom, he can be exempted, and other crimes are not asked.

Not to mention that you can't even say what crime he committed in this kind of thing......

What crime did he commit?

Just admit southerners and not northerners?

The scroll is famous, how do I know if it was written by a southerner or a northerner?

I just do my best to read the papers, and I will admit whoever is well written, and I don't know who wrote it, whether it's a southerner or a northerner has nothing to do with me, I just look at how good it is. As for the issue of the literary style of the north and the south, that can't be used as evidence, even if there is a difference, I don't understand, why do I have to understand the difference between the northern and southern literary styles, which of you can prove that I understand this and deliberately select southerners based on this? There has to be evidence, so I really can't find his fault, a northerner doesn't have it, so it can only be said that they don't have enough knowledge, is it possible that I read the paper and admit those who are not well written? It can be said that he can't catch any handles, so Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't catch him in history, but fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor has never been bound by the rules, and if I can't catch you, then say that you are a fellow party of Lanyu.

He's got a big mouth anyway.

It's really not good-looking to be in the same party as Lanyu, so let's add some Hu party!

Poor Hu Weiyong has been dead for almost 20 years, and he has to be used as a tool by Zhu Yuanzhang.

In short, if you want to be charged, I will charge you with a crime, in fact, Lao Zhu was already very restrained at that time, first persuaded with good words, you don't care what they wrote, so you can admit a few and appease their emotions. Then Liu Sanwu and the others stalked their necks, that is, they wrote unsightly, and they couldn't be qualified again, Lao Zhu was very aggrieved and suppressed his anger and said again, no, you can find a few copies, I will see for myself, and I will find it myself. Then Liu Sanwu instructed his subordinates to select those written for him that were completely rubbish, and they were indeed unsightly for him......

This time, Lao Zhu finally didn't control it.

In other words, with his temper, it is really rare to be able to give two chances in a reluctant voice.

This is no longer a matter of party struggle, but seeing that he is old, he thinks that he is about to die, and he doesn't take him seriously at all, and it can even be said that this is a blatant temptation, once Lao Zhu retreats, they will continue to gain an inch, and then Lao Zhu has to let them know that if I don't die for a day, you are all meat on my board after all.

He has also been criticized over the years, in order for his clan to continue to stay in this circle after his death, and to be taken care of by the Jiangnan gentry in the future, he has to do something for them, no matter what the result is this time, the Jiangnan gentry can be regarded as remembering his contribution.

It's not easy for him!

It's almost eighty, and I have to take the initiative to charge others. ”

Yang Feng said.

Liu Sanwu just knew that he was about to die, and he would fight for the future of the clan, so that the Jiangnan gentry would remember his goodness, so that his descendants could continue to be accepted by the Jiangnan gentry as meritorious heroes.

It's similar to the later cheaters.

The imperial examination of the Hongwu Dynasty is actually Jiangxi, and the Zhili, especially the Jiangnan part of the Zhili, plus the circle of Zhejiang and Fujian, especially Jiangxi, it can be said that the core of the Hongwu Dynasty imperial examination officials is the Jiangxi people. This situation is not only the Hongwu Dynasty, the entire early Ming Dynasty is the case, until the middle and late Zhejiang gradually caught up, but even in the end it is Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi basically go hand in hand. Liu Sanwu, as the marginal Huguang gentry group, must be attached to this group and charge them into battle in exchange for being accepted and sheltering their descendants, so in many things in the Ming Dynasty, Huguang people often defended the interests of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang groups.

For example, Liu Daxia.

It seems that he has no benefit in burning sea charts, after all, he is a Huguang man, and it is impossible for him to raise smuggling ships to go to sea for trade.

But......

The coastal gentry who kept smuggling ships to trade at sea had a trade chain behind them.

How many Huguang gentry were in this trade chain?

It is inevitable that upstream materials will converge downstream, and the downstream industry and commerce will prosper and be densely populated, forming a huge market, and the upstream gentry must integrate into this market in order to make a profit, and if you want to integrate into this market, of course, you must integrate into the downstream gentry group, otherwise people will not take you to play at all. Not only Huguang, but also later Shandong, Henan is like this, in the late Ming Dynasty, Shandong became the main cotton-producing area, cotton was transported to the south through the canal as a raw material for the textile industry, so that Shandong was almost no textile industry.

Therefore, in the late Ming Dynasty, a large number of Donglin parties appeared in Shandong.

Their interests are dependent on the Jiangnan gentry.

If you want the latter to take them to play, then you must charge for others, let people know you, and open the door to this market to welcome you, otherwise why should people let you in?

Why do you call us brothers?

"This is the party struggle you are talking about, a group of ministers colluded into a gang, trying to control the imperial court, taking all the benefits, overthrowing the emperor, excluding dissidents, and also wanting to control the imperial examination, so that their people kept pouring into the imperial court, and in the end, the entire imperial court was theirs."

Zhu Yunxi said.

"Therefore, those emperors in the Ming Dynasty could only rely on eunuchs."

Yang Feng said.
