Wang Shizhen, the leader of the Tianxia League, had nothing to do today, so he went to the Nanjing Military Department to visit his old friend Wang Xun.

At this time, Wang Xun served as the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, that is, one of the three giants in the Nanjing city system, and one of the few officials with real power.

And according to the system, the Nanjing Military Department Shangshu is the chief examiner of the Nanzhili Wuju Township Examination.

Speaking of this Wang Xun, although he is not famous in history, he is also a legend.

He, like Wang Shizhen, is the golden generation of Jiajing's 26th year. There are also Zhang Juzheng, Li Chunfang, Wang Daokun, Yin Shidan, Yang Jisheng and others on the same list.

After the tough guy Yang Jisheng was imprisoned, Wang Xun directly married his daughter to Yang Jisheng's son. As a result, he angered Yan Song's father and son and was also imprisoned, and after he was released from prison, he handled the funeral for Yang Jisheng.

Although Wang Xun has a strict temperament and has a lot of personality differences from Wang Shizhen, the two are close in age, and they are the same year, and they are still anti-Yan Song's colleagues, and their friendship has always been good.

Wang Shizhen looked at Wang Xuan for a while, and sighed: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and I don't want you to have to be completely white." ”

Wang Xun subconsciously touched his white hair, and said with the same emotion: "The same list is withering, there is not much left, and I can still sit here, I am already content." ”

The twenty-sixth year of Jiajing is only thirty-eight years away from now, and it doesn't seem to be particularly long.

But when people in officialdom look back, they only feel that the past 30 years or so have been like vicissitudes of life, and it seems that the whole process has been turbulent.

For more than 30 years, this generation has experienced the beheading of Xia Yan, the dictatorship and fall of Yan Song, the chaos of Zhang Juzheng, the regent of Zhang Juzheng, and then the liquidation of his family, as well as the troubles of Altan Khan in the north and the Japanese in the south.

It is difficult to have a more complicated experience than this generation, and the officials who can go from the 26th year of Jiajing to the present are all miracles and living fossils.

Wang Xun said again: "After I finish presiding over the martial arts of Jinke, I will ask the court to resign." In the future, I will be in Hebei, and you will be in Jiangnan, I am afraid it will not be easy to meet. ”

The Wen Qing of the leader of the Wang Lao Alliance was touched again and was silent.

When two old men who have known each other for 38 years meet, the more they talk, the more sentimental they become.

In the end, Wang Shizhen said: "Then before you leave, help me do something, which is related to the undergraduate martial arts examination." ”

Wang Xun asked in surprise: "As a leader of the literary world, how can you still care about martial arts?" ”

Wang Shizhen said: "I don't care about martial arts, I only care about a person who participates in martial arts." ”

One of the soldiers ran to the door and shouted, "Report to the big Sima!" There's something big going on over there in Gongyuan! ”

Among the three giants of Nanjing City, the external garrison minister is a noble, and the internal garrison minister is a eunuch, and obviously will not take care of the affairs of the Gongyuan area.

The area around the Gongyuan is full of places where scholars gather, and the nobles and eunuchs will only go there to take charge of affairs when they are full.

Therefore, if there is a problem near the Gongyuan, it can only be solved by the military department of the civil official system, and Wang Xun cannot shirk this responsibility.

The pro-soldier report said: "I heard that a large group of soldiers have fought from the Tixue Procuratorate to the Changban Bridge, and the officers and soldiers cannot stop them, and now they are confronting the Tixue officials!"

The officers and soldiers on the scene no longer listened to the command of the apprentice, and the soldiers who did it were also shouting to see Da Sima! ”

I don't know how the news was reported, and maybe the people who received the news didn't believe that there was only one "scholar" with a few followers, and it became a large group of scholars to riot collectively.

Anyway, in the Jiangnan area, it is not once or twice that a group of Xiucai collectively rioted.

The situation was very urgent, and when Wang Xun heard it, he immediately got up and walked outside without saying a word, and he didn't care about entertaining Wang Shizhen.

If something happened in a core area like Gongyuan, he, the secretary of the military department responsible for the security of Nanjing City, had an unshirkable responsibility.

Wang Shizhen wanted to continue to sit here and wait for Wang Xun to come back, but after waiting for a while, she always felt that something was wrong.

The imperial city and a large number of government offices are in the east of the city, and the tribute court is in the southeast of the city, so the military headquarters is not too far from the tribute court.

In less than half an hour, Wang Shangshu rushed to the Changban Bridge with his own soldiers.

I saw a sea of people under the bridge, at least thousands of people gathered around to watch the excitement.

There are still many people shouting "good poems, good poems", and some shouting "one more poem".

There is no way, the ban in the sea has made many people mentally bored, and it is rare to have fun watching it today.

After Wang Shangshu saw the people on the bridge clearly, he was puzzled, didn't he report that there was a "large group of scholars"?

There was only one person in a long shirt on the bridge, how did you make a fight?

A scholar next to him said, "Where is the great crowd?" Just these three or five, or the tallest one, are fighting alone!

Also, the strength of these officers and soldiers in Nanjing City is really poor, and Da Sima needs more training! ”

Wang Shangshu subconsciously thought that this kind of skill can recite poetry again, and it is a pity not to take the martial arts test.

Lin Tailai saw that the secretary of the military department was coming, and hurriedly shouted: "I implore Da Sima to avenge me!" ”

Wang Xun frowned, his face was ugly.

Although a person like him is upright, he is also very particular about etiquette and order, so in his heart, Lin Sheng on the bridge is a thug.

This kind of behavior that does not go through the system and procedures, acts recklessly, and disrupts order is certainly not allowed, even if you shout injustices loudly!

Therefore, Wang Xun did not listen to nonsense, and directly ordered the officials and soldiers: "Take down the thugs on the bridge first!" ”

This is typical bureaucratic thinking, no matter what the inside story is, first arrest the person who caused the trouble and then slowly interrogate it.

Lin Tailai shouted: "Why is Da Sima angry? There is indeed a grievance in the next place, if you want to talk to the big Sima, please listen to the next calmly! ”

Wang Xun said with a cold face: "If you have a grievance, you can go to the Criminal Department to complain, but the Criminal Department will not accept it, and there is also the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

The duty of the headquarters is only to arrest the thieves and thugs, not to listen to the cries of injustice. ”

The military department Shangshu personally ordered that the officers and soldiers under the bridge could not disobey the order, and slowly lined up to prepare to go to the bridge.

Due to the limited width of the bridge deck, it is impossible to rush up, and the only way to do it is to take wheel warfare.

At this moment, on the south bank of the Qinhuai River, two people suddenly rushed over, each carrying a tall wooden sign on their shoulders.

Then the two of them got off the bridge from the south side of the bridge, stood behind Lin Tailai, and raised the wooden sign on their shoulders again!

The glittering big golden characters are slightly dazzling in the daylight, one side is "Right Capital Imperial History", and the other side is "Southern Capital General Constitution"!

The onlookers at the scene exclaimed in unison!

A few days ago, it was rumored that these two official cards were accidentally left in the house of a popular celebrity on the south bank, and everyone couldn't believe it.

I don't want to appear again today, or from the red light district on the south bank, is it not guaranteed that the sea is blue and the sky is late?

Wang Xun and Wang Shangshu looked at the two official cards on the bridge, and they were shocked. What is the situation, Hai Rui supporting this thug?

Lin Tailai took a step back and stood between the two official cards. The left "Imperial History", the right "General Constitution", morality in the middle!

Then he said to Wang Xuan, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department: "Is Da Sima now calm and can listen to his grievances?" ”

Wang Xun: "."

Before Wang Shangshu could say anything, Tixue Yushi Fang Huan stood up first and said loudly:

"What's the use of a two-sided official card? You have committed such a heinous crime, and Haizhong Cheng will not spare you! ”

He had long known about Hai Rui's recruitment of Lin Sheng's subordinates, so he deliberately lured Lin Shengsheng to expand the crime.

Because with Hai Jui's character, it is absolutely impossible to shield his subordinates.

The official card of Hai Rui on both sides is not to be feared, but it is Lin Sheng's life talisman.

Lin Tailai asked rhetorically: "What great crime did you commit?" ”

Fang Tixue shouted: "You first violated the prohibition, and then you did not accept the punishment of the official, resisted the law with violence, and committed murder, is it not a big crime?"

Even if you are in front of the sea, you will be punished! ”

Hearing this, Lin Tailai suddenly had an epiphany, why did Fang Tixue behave like a neurotic!

Like Hai Rui at the beginning, this scholar regarded himself as a scholar!

For the scholars, even if the power is not to the point of life and death, it is not far behind.

That's why Fang Tixue treats himself, so he behaves so arrogantly and domineeringly, he catches when he wants to, and fights when he wants.

Lin Tailai had an idea in his heart, and asked Fang Huan tentatively, "How does the great grandmaster want to punish him?" ”

With the military backing of Shangshu, Fang Tixue's momentum rose again, and he shouted: "Of course, you will be eliminated first, and then you will be punished!" ”

Lin Tailai continued to ask rhetorically: "But if you don't have a talent and fame, what should you do?" ”

"You can't be punished if you don't show off your talent and fame?" Fang Tixue was only halfway through speaking, and after reacting, he exclaimed: "Impossible! Then what do you mean by coming to Nanjing to take the exam? ”

Lin Tailai replied innocently: "I am a martial artist below, and I came to participate in the martial arts township test." ”

This reversal caused an uproar at the scene!

No wonder this Lin Sheng has been shouting to see Da Sima, his identity is indeed under the control of the Ministry of War!

Lin Tailai pointed to the stunned Fang Tixue, and began to shout injustice to Wang Xuan again: "So I'm making a grievance!"

The martial arts are under the control of the Ministry of War, but he arrested the martial artists without authorization, which is really an unjust case created by the military department!

Although martial artists are not as noble as Wensheng, they can't be humiliated like this!

Please ask the Ministry of War to call the shots, and ask Da Sima to speak up for all the martial artists! ”

Wang Shangshu suddenly reacted, he loves to beat people and love poetry, and he enters the Tao with martial arts, isn't this the Suzhou Lin Tailai that Wang Shizhen said just now!

Fang Tixue felt that he was going crazy, even if he framed others, it had to be based on having law enforcement powers.

If he is not qualified to govern Lin Sheng and does not have the right to enforce the law against Lin Sheng, then he is wrong from the root!

"Who the hell are you?" Fang Tixue blurted out.

But Lin Tailai saluted the people around him and said loudly:

"Let me introduce myself through the treasure, in the next is Suzhou Lin Tailai, the head of the double case of this year's county test, and the only martial artist who has passed the examination in the martial arts department of Suzhou City."

Anyone who hears about this civil and military degree for the first time will be shocked.

It's not too unusual, but what does it mean to be the only martial artist who has passed the exam?

According to normal reasoning, it is impossible to select only one person for all levels of the Ming Dynasty examination, is it possible that you have abolished all the other candidates?

I heard Lin Sheng say again: "In the next time I went to Nanjing, I came to try it out for Wuxiang!"

Therefore, he also set a small goal for himself, that is, to seize Wu Jieyuan!

I don't know what you think, do you have this strength in the future? ”

Fang Tixue has a bad character, and he has a bad reputation among Nanzhili scholars, and everyone doesn't mind watching him for fun.

Immediately, someone coaxed and said: "With the martial arts of friends of Lin, it should be regarded as a martial arts solution!" ”

Someone else shouted: "What thousands of people have seen today, Wuke Xie Yuan deserves his name!" ”

Lin Tailai laughed a few times, and then chanted loudly:

"Sink your heart to the north, south and east, and look at the sea of talents.

He began to participate in the history of Zhou at the beginning of last year, and he regretted falling into the virtuous style for many years.

In addition to the high merit and worship to become an immortal, it will be back to the intestines.

In case the Zen pass is broken, the beauty is like a jade sword like a rainbow! ”

Wang Shangshu's face was darkened, he was the chief examiner of the Wuke Township Examination!

He should have the final say on who admits him, and he should also have the final say on who is Wu Jieyuan!

You Diao people, dare to arrange it yourself!

Now he is a little suspicious that Lin Tailai deliberately fought in public, not to resist Fang Tixue's framing, but to do martial arts.

The reason is very simple, thousands of people have seen such a capable candidate, if you can't even pass the Wuke Township Exam, it must be a big shady.

If there is a talent in the liberal arts township examination who is resentful and uses the question to make trouble, it will be a big trouble.

Wang Shangshu never dreamed that the Wuke Township Test, which no one paid attention to at all in the past, could create such a huge pressure.

And the point is, he can't figure out what to do with the scene.

Lin Tailai was complacent in his heart, this is called turning bad things into good things, this wave of martial arts is probably stable!

When I went to sign up before, I spent money to inquire!

You, Wang Shangshu, are a Jinshi in the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, the same year as Wang Shizhen, so you must guard against it!

Since ancient times, the three elements and the first are very rare, if you can get a martial arts three yuan, will you be the first person in history?

When Lin Daguan was proud of his wit, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Fang Tixue secretly walking out.

He hurriedly shouted: "Fang Yu Shi Xiu is leaving!" Things haven't been made clear yet, how can it end up in vain! ”

The face of the scholar Yushi Fanghuan is darker than Wang Shangshu, and at this point, the matter is no longer clear!

He just made a mistake that all officials in the world would make, and that was bureaucracy!

When he heard "Suzhou Linsheng", he defaulted to being a talent from Suzhou!

I was too lazy to verify Lin Sheng's identity seriously against the roster of students, and I didn't even ask a Suzhou scholar to inquire!

Otherwise, it would not have made an oolong for the Academy of Scholars to overstep its authority to arrest the martial arts members, and it would become a laughing stock and handle!

Lin Tailai asked against the guest: "There is no grievance or enmity with the great grandmaster below, why do you bother to frame it below?" ”

Fang Tixue said stiffly: "Someone reported you, and the official was overlooked for a while, that's all." ”

At this point, there is no point in shaking the commander out, and if you can protect it, you can protect it.

"Who's reporting it?" Lin Tailai immediately continued to ask, this was the question he was most concerned about.

This so-called whistleblower must be the instigator behind the scenes.

Fang Tixue turned to Wang Shangshu and asked for help: "We, the officials, are reasonable, and we can't leak the whistleblower at will, right?" ”

Based on the principle of protecting officials and officials, Wang Shangshu agreed: "If it is not necessary, on the premise of not affecting the handling of the case, there is really no need to say it, so as not to have an accident." ”

Lin Tailai said dissatisfiedly: "This is not a report, it is a false accusation!" ”

Fang Huan flicked his sleeves and said: "This official is guilty of negligence, and he will go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to confess!" ”

Lin Tailai nodded, "Then I know, it seems that the person who instructed the scholar to frame him without authorization must be Wang Yizhougong, the old leader of the literary world!" ”

Lin Tailai's voice was very loud, which sparked a discussion among nearby readers.

Wang Xun Wang Shangshu was stunned and said: "It's simply unreasonable! And what proof do you have? ”

Lin Tailai sneered: "I'm not a criminal judge, what evidence do you want?"

Since I don't want to tell who is falsely accusing me, then I think whoever it is, is who it is! ”

It's understandable that you guys are engaging in bureaucracy, but don't get into him Lin Tailai.

Wang Xun: "."

suddenly sympathized with the old man, God knows what Wang Shizhen has experienced this year, why did he get into trouble with such a person?

The state is not good, ah, ah, I feel that the text is not energetic, and I will start work tomorrow when I get up if I have nothing to do, and I will ask for a monthly pass!
