Chapter 205: Master's Order
Su Xuanyong's sudden words made the ninth princess's hand stop in mid-air, and she hurriedly said.
"Father, what do you say, let me find Mr. Su, my relationship with him is not so good."
Su Xuanyong turned his head to look at the ninth girl, pouted and said, "Feng Ling, don't think that your father doesn't know anything, Zhenlun and Dongshan Bo are close, and those brothers of yours are afraid that they are not as good as you."
"The reason why the widow let you go this time is to comfort him, and more importantly, I hope he can understand the widow's intentions, to be honest, with his intelligence, he is a royal family, if he can really serve the royal family, there is no harm to Da Liang."
"But he still has too much arrogance after all, such a person, the widow can be regarded as both loving and hating, at this time, only you come forward, the widow can rest assured."
"Father... Father." The ninth princess whispered, and Su Xuanyong patted her hand and said.
"If you can have the ability to take down this Dongshan Bo, it is excellent, but the widow has a request, you can't be a concubine, after all, you are a royal princess, and it is a big joke to be a concubine for others..."
The ninth princess's cheeks changed, a little red, her palms were clenched, and her small fist slapped heavily on Su Xuanyong's shoulder.
looked ashamed and angry, "Father, what nonsense are you talking about, you are like this, and your daughter ignores you."
Su Xuanyong smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, the widow is confused, hey, who made his father old, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was a little too much, this matter is not right for his father."
"Okay, don't mention this, you don't have to accompany me, you have time to walk around with Dongshan Village more, go."
The ninth princess nodded, accompanied Su Xuanyong for a while, and then left the main hall.
Seeing the Ninth Princess leave and sitting alone in the main hall, Su Xuanyong, the smile on his face converged, his eyes flashed, looking ahead, no one knew what he was thinking.
And on Su Qi'an's side, because of a holy decree from His Majesty, this palace trial has come to an end.
Su Qi'an, who returned to Hanlin Academy, did not pay attention to the controversy in the outside world, but returned to his residence alone.
As usual at the Hallym Academy, he received lectures at a fixed time every day.
During the teaching, Su Qi'an successively learned about the disputes between Wenxuan and several princes after the palace examination.
But even Su Qi'an, who heard the news, his face did not change at all, and he was very calm, as if all this was expected.
Su Qi'an's calmness made Wen Xuan feel helpless, he was very sure that His Majesty's intervention that day made his student feel a little aggrieved.
He can understand, but he can't change it, he can only teach subtly in the teaching.
The three days passed quickly, and everyone was basically waiting for the final result of this palace test.
Su Xuan's holy decree was announced in the Wenxian Hall through a great eunuch.
The general content is that first of all, this palace examination will not be canceled due to some accidents, and the examination papers for answering questions are still valid.
Wang Chen, who falsely accused Su Qi'an, his family was heavily punished, and the second-rank prince of the kingdom was directly deprived of his status as a duke and demoted to a viscount, accused of not disciplining the children of the family strictly.
And Wang Chen, the main culprit, not only deprived the Jinshi of his fame, but also demoted him to a civilian and sent him to serve in the frontier.
As for the three jinshi, Fang Hai, Liu Tao and other accomplices in Xizhou, they were also deprived of their meritorious reputation, demoted to civilians, imprisoned in prison, and sentenced to three to ten years in prison.
This is the biggest punishment of this palace test, and the so-called masterminds behind the scenes are all pushed to the Wang Chen family.
As for the others, it didn't affect too much, it can be said that this palace test turmoil, Wang Chen, the backstabber, deserves it.
This result, before the announcement of the reign, Su Qi'an can roughly understand.
After all, in the enlightenment of Wenxuan in the past few days, he learned some unknown inside stories in the palace examination.
On the surface, the palace test was monopolized by many powerful people, and finally got the acquiescence of His Majesty today, which is so obvious for so many years.
But in fact, behind this matter, what is related is the foundation of Da Liang's national fortunes.
Looking carefully at the list of the top ten jinshi in the past, it seems that they are all family rights
Your son is either a person from his mansion.
But these people are not from a certain family in Kyoto, but the magnates of the twelve states of Daliang.
This kind of compromise is actually a kind of transaction reached between the imperial court and the nobles of the twelve states below.
To put it bluntly, behind these ten people, they represent the powerful families of the twelve local states, if they really want to make a big deal about it, or according to Su Qi'an's ideas, they will directly overturn it and start over.
It was not only the Kyoto magnates who offended, but the entire Da Liang family.
These powerful families, after three hundred years of development in Daliang, have long become the head snakes entrenched in a local state.
If you want to eradicate it, it is basically impossible, after all, this matter is not that the Great Liang Emperor has not done it.
But after so many years of development, these guys have become deeply ingrained in the local area, and getting rid of one or several states is nothing more than wasting some effort and time.
But if you face all the powerful families in the twelve states of Daliang, then you can basically think about it.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current Da Liang family, united, can really threaten the Su Liang royal family in some things.
And the quota of the palace examination is a compromise between the central court and the powerful people of the world.
However, the trouble of this palace examination is not without any gains, and among the top ten jinshi announced this time, there is a poor jinshi,
Although the ranking is not high, just stuck in tenth, this is quite rare in previous years.
And this person, Su Qi'an also knows, is none other than his little fan brother, Huang Wenyan.
This should also be regarded as a kind of compensation from His Majesty to Su Qi'an, if a cold man can appear, what else can Su Qi'an say.
He also knows the hardships of His Majesty today, there is no way, this matter is a hundred years of hard work, Su Qi'an was able to win a place for one of the poor families.
It can be regarded as a little soothing the mood of other poor students.
Sure enough, after the results were announced, the previous confrontation between the poor family and the family, and the tension of the atmosphere were somewhat relieved.
In the end, under the appeasement of Zheng Guogong, this dispute between the poor families caused by Su Qi'an finally drew a stronghold temporarily.
After all, the poor students know what the current situation is, and they know that it is very good to have the current result, if they continue to make trouble.
First, it will cause trouble for Su Qi'an, and second, it is also more important, it is likely to anger the wealthy family, and when the time comes, they will be targeted and suppressed even more badly, Su Qi'an is afraid that he will not be able to save them. Look at the book
There is no way, the big cool monopolized by the family is not a poor student like them, who can be overthrown if they say that they can overthrow it, and they will accept it when they see it, so it can only be so.
And Su Qi'an has not appeared from beginning to end, and it is said that he has always stayed in the Hanlin Academy and devoted himself to studying.
In the Hanlin Courtyard, the residence of Wenxuan.
Su Qi'an and Wen Xuan sat facing each other, looking at Su Qi'an's calm face, Wen Xuan said with a smile.
"Originally, the old man was still thinking about how to tell you about this, but now it seems that I have thought too much."
Su Qi'an nodded, "Master, although the student has some differences with His Majesty on some matters, this does not mean that the student is a narrow-minded person, Your Majesty has his own difficulties in this matter, I understand, Your Majesty did not punish me, it is excellent, how can the student blame it."
"Hahaha, that's right, Qi An, don't worry, this matter is over, now you can study in the Hanlin Academy with peace of mind, with your intelligence, the old man has the confidence to cultivate you, and let them take a good look at it when the time comes, the first talent in Da Liang is not so easy to mess with."
Looking at Wen Xuan's smiling face, Su Qi'an hesitated for a while, and then said.
"Master, the student has a reluctant request, and I hope the master will agree."
"You and I don't have to be so polite, as long as the old man can do it, everything will be promised to you, even if it can't be done, I will do my best." Wen Xuan agreed.
"Master, the student wants to leave the Hallym Academy."
Su Qi'an's words directly made Wen Xuan stunned, and he looked at Su Qi'an in disbelief.
"Leave? Qi An, what's wrong with you? No, it is not
If you were wronged in the Hanlin Academy, or who provoked you, if this is the case, just open your mouth, and the old man will definitely stand up for you."
Su Qi'an hurriedly shook his head, "Master, there is no such thing, this idea was thought about by the students before they became the chief examiner of the palace examination."
These words made Wen Xuan even more incomprehensible, you must know that joining the Hanlin Academy and becoming a member of it is the dream of many literati students.
Not to mention becoming the master's personal heir, as long as he stays with peace of mind, not to mention anything else, with Su Qi'an's intelligence, Wenxuan is confident that he will teach him within three years.
At that time, Su Qi'an was not only the youngest Confucian in Da Liang, but also a hot new star in Da Liang.
As long as Su Qi'an leaves, such a good thing will not be related to him.
Su Qi'an explained, "Master, the student knows that continuing to stay in the Hanlin Academy will only be good for me and not harmful, but Master can remember what he said to the student at the beginning."
"What?"
"The poor are good alone, and the one who achieves them will help the world." Su Qi'an said with a smile.
"Students don't have such high ambitions at the moment, but spending time with the master has made students understand a truth, staying in Kyoto all the time will only make students more and more unfamiliar with Da Liang."
"Traveling the world, understanding the actual situation of the people in various places, and making the people prosperous, this is the ideal of students, so Kyoto is not suitable for students."
Listening to Su Qi'an's answer, Wen Xuan didn't speak, he just looked at Su Qi'an quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
This silence didn't last long, Wen Xuan spoke, "Qi An, you are really not ordinary, the old man is indeed not wrong about you, you are right, only by walking the world can you understand the real situation, and living in Kyoto for a long time will only blind your eyes."
"Your mind has gone far away, this is what the old man didn't expect, you want to leave, the old man won't stop you, it's time to hand over some things to you."
As he spoke, Wen Xuan took out a wooden plaque from his arms, which was the size of a palm, but it was very quaint and even a little broken.
But there is an extremely vast literati atmosphere in it.
Hand this wooden plaque to Su Qi'an, and the text proclaimed, "This is the Master's order, seeing this card, if the Master is in person, the world's generals, scholars, scholars, and Confucians, if necessary, can obey your orders, and if they do not obey, they can revoke their meritorious status."
