Yushitai Yamen, Liu Renliang gritted his teeth with hatred with the information in his hand, "This group of people is so ruthless, in order to destroy the evidence, they actually assassinated the two people who followed Chief Cui that day, and there is no proof of death?" Liu Gongzi, I'm afraid your case is difficult. ”

Scholar Liu Jinyuan smiled calmly, "It's okay, isn't it just a three-year ban on the exam, and the big deal is to take the exam again in three years." ”

Liu Renliang was surprised: "You are open-minded. ”

The scholar said seriously: "What you want in your later life is not fame and fortune, you want to get ahead in the examination, but you also want to contribute to the country." Seeing the darkness of the examination room and officialdom, I thought about giving up many times in my later life, such an officialdom, such a way to get ahead, don't do it. ”

You......

Without waiting for Liu Renliang to open his mouth to persuade him, the scholar continued: "But when I met Lord Liu, I saw what the entire Yushitai had done these days, and I realized in my later life how difficult it was to really contribute to the country. Running around for many days to shout grievances is not just for the personal imperial examination, I think what I want has been found. ”

What do you mean? Liu Renliang was puzzled.

The scholar explained: "In the end, the official of the imperial examination is for a hope, a hope for the scholars. If the scholars in the world become officials, they are all flies and dogs, what is the point of this official? There is no longer hope for this world. Fortunately, I saw the hope I was looking for in the Imperial Observatory, and if I could become an official in the future, I would like to be a good official who asked for the people's lives like you. ”

"There are countless unjust cases in the world, not all of them can be solved, we underestimate their cruelty, so we lose unjustly. Fortunately, I just stopped taking the exam again for three years, and it was okay. ”

Liu Renliang patted the scholar's shoulder with satisfaction, "You can think like this, I'm ashamed to wait." But this is also the reality, an ordinary person, being targeted by the chief examiner of the imperial examination, is difficult to resist. They killed two people, and from a disguised point of view, they actually gave an explanation, which is the price they paid. It's a pity that it's not the one surnamed Cui. ”

Wait a minute......

Liu Renliang suddenly thought of a solution, "Those two died violently at home, and the family said that they died of illness, and they will not be investigated." But everyone knows that this is murder, so ...... Hahaha, go, you go to Chang'an County to report the case, and say that your witness was murdered. Chang'an County took over the case, and there was a reason to come forward to investigate, as long as the evidence of murder was found, hahahaha, the person surnamed Cui would not be able to escape. Maybe there's hope for you. ”

After delaying for many days, the imperial examinations have been released, and the five surnames and seven hopes scolded Xiao Rui proudly, with you as a grasshopper, you still want to pry into our huge heritage? More than sixty percent of the officialdom are our people, not to mention controlling the imperial examination room, that is, the entire court situation is under our control, why are you fighting with us?

Xiao Rui also received the news from Liu Renliang's side and learned about the whole thing, and this year's imperial examination list is still full of family members, and there is no one from a poor family.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Rui sent out a person and spread a message.

The next day, all the poor candidates in Chang'an City who were brushed down poured into the streets to shout injustice, the imperial examination was fake, and they opposed the submission of papers!

There was a team of almost a few thousand people, and they made trouble all the way to the gate of the imperial city along Suzaku Street, Li Er was surprised, what happened?

"Your Majesty, there are thousands of rebels in the city...... "The general of the Imperial City Garrison came to report urgently.

"Rebellious? This is Chang'an City, where did the rebellion come from? What the hell is going on? What is the origin of the other party? Li Eryu asked.

"Uh...... The last general didn't know, seeing that they were menacing, they immediately let people seal the gate of the imperial city, and now they are confronting the defenders. Looking at their clothes, they seem to be all scholars. ”

At this moment, the chamberlain Lao Gao received the information, "Your Majesty, you are a poor candidate to participate in the imperial examination this time. They were dissatisfied with the results of the release of the imperial examination results, and also said that the release of the imperial examination results was cheating, and they all made a fuss about the explanation. ”

Hiss...... Everyone knew about the scroll in the past, but they were all swallowing their anger, who thought of uniting against the imperial court? What's going on today?

"Your Majesty, it's too dangerous, if they break through the defense line and rush into the imperial city, then ...... Let's crack down. General Guard said anxiously.

Li Er scolded: "Bastard, that's my candidate for studying in the Tang Dynasty, the pillar of the future." What do you want? When the rebels slaughtered? Stand down, restrain your subordinates, if you hurt a candidate, I will ask you. ”

The general was so frightened that he hurried out to maintain order.

"Ladies and gentlemen, is there a good way to deal with it?"

Wei Zheng stood up, "Your Majesty, it's better to be sparse, since these candidates are questioning the fairness and justice of the imperial examination, then they should be given an explanation." Let the Ministry of Rites, Guozijian, and all the examiners in charge of the imperial examination come forward together, as long as it can be proved that there is no favoritism in the imperial examination, then the candidates will not be chaotic. ”

Someone from the Ministry of Rites stood up and retorted: "Doctor Wei, what are you talking about? Can you tell how many of these thousands of people are genuinely skeptical? And not taking advantage of the chaos? I'm afraid that ninety percent of people are unwilling to fall off the list, take this opportunity to organize, and threaten the imperial court to mix up official positions and fame. ”

"That's right, the minister seconded. Your Majesty, this wind cannot last long, if you compromise this time, then whenever you encounter something in the future, the people will organize to make trouble, will you have to compromise everything in the future? "Someone from the Criminal Department seconded the proposal.

Soon the entire court was plunged into a heated debate.

Li Er also encountered such a situation for the first time, and he always felt as if someone was organizing and instigating behind his back, who was it?

Suddenly, he thought of a figure, Xiao Rui? How is this method so similar to Xiao Rui's means of inciting the people and dealing with Buddhism?

This soul is weak, does there grow eighty pounds of anti-bones in the back of the head? What do you do against Lao Tzu? Want to disrupt the court, and then plot to usurp the throne?

Li Er scolded this son-in-law five, six, seven or eight times in his heart, and then waved his hand to stop the court's argument: "Enough!" According to Xuan Cheng's statement, send someone to explain the proof first. Since they questioned the fairness of the imperial examination, they should dismiss their doubts. Without reason and evidence, it is to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and it is not too late to disperse when the time comes. ”

"By the way, in order to avoid conflict, the Imperial Observatory is responsible for the intermediary guarantee and the reconciliation of the two sides. Dali Temple and the Criminal Department also sent people to be on standby at any time, and if there was any opportunity to make trouble, listen to the command of Dr. Wei to take people. ”

This was the first demonstration in the Tang Dynasty, but not the first in ancient times. If it is said that pulling up a team to discuss with the court for an explanation, and finally forcing the court to compromise and retreat, these are all considered demonstrations, then the Han Dynasty's 'Qing Jun's side, punishing Chao wrong' is also counted, and even the king of the army and the like are counted.

The only difference is that it was the soldiers of the organization, and this time it was the students.
