Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Temple Examination Advances
At the time of the court dispute, seeing that the wind was not in the right direction, the magnates in Beijing, who were already swaying, also began to participate, and the momentum was huge for a while, so those fallen scholars saw this situation, and became more and more arrogant, and even began to ask for the punishment of several examiners, invalidate the results, and choose another main examiner to retake the exam.
Hearing these news, it scared Mrs. Wang, after all, now Sheng Changbai has already passed the exam, if he really wants to re-examine, whether he can win is a second word, and if the examiner of this year is convicted, it will be difficult for the people in this exam to win again.
It was the Lin Xiaoniang in the Sheng Mansion who was happy for a while when she heard the news, and thought that it would be best to retake the exam once, and then Sheng Changbai would not be successful, so that Sheng Changfeng would win, and then she would be able to make Wei Ruixuan look good.
But Sheng Hong knew in his heart that this time the matter was not only a matter of this session, so he deliberately went to Shou'an Hall to see the old lady and ask the old lady to make an idea.
Sheng Hong said: "Mother, now that there are many disputes in the court, the child really doesn't know what to do, please mother have an idea." ”
The old lady said: "The best thing for you to do in the court now is not to take care of anything, don't do anything, don't look at which group of powerful people are having fun with in Taiwan now, but Han Daxiang and Fu Daxiang are not so easy people to deal with, you can rest assured to be a bodhisattva with your eyes closed, just wait for the results to come out." In addition, the two brothers in the family have just participated in the exam, so let them stay at home peacefully, especially Changfeng, don't let him go out to participate in any messy things, so as not to fall into the hands of others. ”
Sheng Hong said: "The child understands, so he will go and order." After saying that, he got up and left Shou'an Hall.
After Sheng Hong left, Minglan asked the old lady with a worried face: "Grandmother, did you say that my cousin will be implicated this time?" ”
The old lady said: "Now the main thing is to look at the results in the court, if Bachelor Ouyang is fine, then Li Hao's child will be fine." You don't have to worry too much, since His Majesty hasn't dealt with Bachelor Ouyang yet, you should think about it, you can rest assured. ”
As for the Qi State Mansion, he has never shown up from beginning to end, for fear of being contaminated with this troubled water. And the attitude of the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion is even clearer, anyway, Gu Tingye's future in the imperial examination is lost, and Gu Yankai, who can retake the exam, doesn't care, so he simply went out of Beijing to the camp in the western suburbs to train his troops.
As for the Li family's side, the Luodi scholars surrounded them for two days, and seeing that there was no movement, they didn't stay any longer, and went to guard Ouyang Xiu and the other examiners again.
Then at this time, Yan Fu took the opportunity to come to the door, and after meeting Li Hao and them, he said: "These days, listening to my father, the court is in chaos now, and the Tai Ji and the two Zaifu have made a lot of trouble for this test, but the official family has not said how to deal with it. ”
"I didn't understand it, but then my father and I analyzed the current situation and said that now that the situation has evolved to this point, it is no longer a matter of trying. The main reason is still in the New Deal of that year. ”
Hearing this, except for Zeng Gong's thoughtfulness, Li Hao and the three brothers of the Zeng family looked at each other when they heard it, and they didn't know why.
After a pause, Yan Fu continued: "In the new policy during the Qingli period, among the officials who presided over that year, Fan Wenzhenggong has passed away, but other major officials such as Han Daxianggong, Fu Daxianggong, and Ouyang Bachelor have also been recalled to the court one by one in the past few years after they were demoted from Beijing that year. So now the princes of Taiwan just want to take this opportunity to depose Bachelor Ouyang from Bianjing again, and it would be better if they could take advantage of this to win the two great ministers, so you are only messing with the pond fish at most. ”
After saying this, everyone immediately understood the current situation. Li Hao said: "Then it means that we are in the same boat with Master Ouyang, either they are all fine, or they are unlucky together." ”
After hearing this, Yan Fu said: "That's the case, if the official family doesn't want to deal with Bachelor Ouyang, then there will naturally be no problem with this examination, and vice versa." ”
Then Yan Fu said: "I, a seven-grade petty official, was soft-spoken, I originally wanted to persuade my father to come forward and support Master Ouyang, but my father really didn't want to come forward to take this trip to the troubled waters at this time, I'm really sorry." ”
Li Hao said: "Where is this, I am very grateful that my senior brother can come at this time." As for my uncle's move, there is nothing wrong with it, the current situation is not clear, and he has to protect himself first before he can do something else, what is there to blame. “
Zeng Gong also echoed at this time: "Yes, you don't care about anything, you can take the risk to come and tell us the details at this time, it has already helped us a lot." ”
After hearing this, Yan Fu said: "Thank you for your understanding, but I heard my father say that things are about to come to an end, and there should be good news." ”
Li Hao asked, "Is there something going on?" ”
Yan Fu replied: "Today, news came from Ying Tianfu, and the former Taishi Du Yan passed away. Tomorrow the court will draw up a name for him, and then the matter should be settled, and it may be good news. ”
Hearing this, Li Hao was full of question marks and said, "Is there anything related to this?" ”
At this time, Yan Fu didn't speak, but Zeng Gong opened his mouth and said: "When Taishi Du worshiped the prime minister back then, he was familiar with Fan Wenzhenggong, Fu Da Xianggong, and Han Da Xianggong, and it was also a vein of changing the law back then. After the abolition of the new policy, His Majesty may not have regrets when he thinks about it now. At this time, I think that His Majesty should not punish the old ministers in a big way, and now that I think about it, if His Majesty really didn't believe in the teacher, he should have issued an order to reprimand someone to investigate thoroughly, instead of ignoring it. ”
Li Hao reacted after hearing this, and said, "In that case, we should be fine." ”
Yan Fu replied: "Listening to my father's meaning, it may be like this, of course, the specific situation still depends on the result of tomorrow's court meeting." ”
Then, Yan Fu also persuaded a few people to relax again, saying that they would come to inform the results immediately if they had the results tomorrow, and then left.
On the second day, Li Hao sat alone in the courtyard and thought about what happened these days, it was very strange that these contents had not appeared in TV series and novels. I don't know if it's caused by the completion of the story background in the real world, or if the world I have traveled to is not a serious TV drama world.
However, it was obvious that Li Hao had no answer for the time being, so Li Hao thought for a while and went to Zeng Gong to chat with them. As a result, when Li Hao went over, he saw Zeng Gong sitting there reading quite leisurely, regardless of the anxiety of the three younger brothers next to him.
Li Hao said: "Senior Brother Zigu, you really have calm, I might as well do it." ”
Zeng Gong said: "After being quiet, you can be safe, you can be safe, and you can get after worrying, not to mention that this matter is not something that we can solve directly, what's the use of being impatient." Sit down and wait, the morning party will begin, and it will be over when the time comes. Let's wait for the news, it won't be long. ”
Sure enough, at five o'clock, Yan Fu came to the door and said: "There is news, but I just don't know whether it is good or bad." This time, His Majesty did not dispose of anyone in the palace, although there is no need to retake the examination for the time being, and there is no need to draw the first scholar to take the retest, but the date of the palace examination is advanced, and I am afraid that I still have some doubts in my heart. If you want to see the knowledge of this group of scholars, if there is no problem, it will be fine, but if there is a problem, I am afraid it will be really troublesome. In particular, you have a great relationship with Bachelor Ouyang, and I am afraid that you are the focus of attention in this palace examination. ”
