CH.25 Your Mother Is Dead
A group of scholars came to Tokyo, and a few days later, there were still two days before the spring exam. On this day, the streets and alleys suddenly boiled, saying that the soldiers of the Liao State had entered the territory and killed people, and the Jinan Mansion had been looted, and the counties of Jingdong Road were empty in ten rooms and nine empty, and there were many casualties.
This is a false news deliberately transmitted by the spies of the Liao State, with the purpose of dispersing the hearts of the people of the Song Dynasty. The so-called one pass ten, ten pass hundreds, and the so-called three people become tigers, fake news is becoming more and more fake, and the degree of exaggeration is also snowballing. Gradually, it spread to the capital, and all the beings who came from the counties of Jinan Prefecture on Jingdong East Road wore filial piety. One filial piety to the country, and the second filial piety to parents.
The government originally wanted to take the opportunity to bury the village and cancel the household registration of this village, only claiming that it had never been, and there was no proof of a shameless death. Unexpectedly, the people of the Liao State were extremely shrewd, how could they let go of any opportunity to squeeze out the Song Dynasty government, so the fake news of the Song Dynasty had not yet been issued, and the fake news of the Liao State had leapt hundreds of miles.
At first, the government still thought of the old way of strictly managing the words of the people. As long as there is talk about the Liao State and the imperial court, they will all be arrested and beaten. Unexpectedly, it aroused public indignation, and the backlash was even greater, coupled with the instigation of Liao's domestic response, the fact of a Liao swordsman's massacre was turned into fake news of the Liao army's massacre.
Huizong was furious. Tong Xiangguan (Tong Guan) hurriedly ordered the literati to write down the ins and outs of the matter, and posted a list in the counties of Jingdong East Road, while dismissing the governor of Jinan Prefecture.
But the rumors still can't be stopped. Because it was the day of the exam, no one dared to slack off at this important moment, even if the mother died, this test had to be examined, and the exam was above all else, so all the scholars from Shandong did not dare to go home to confirm, but they all wore filial piety clothes inside. They don't care about any taboos, coffins, coffins, officials and wealth, they just hope to go back and see if they finish the exam as soon as possible.
Zhang Ji is different, he is serious. not only wore Qi decay mourning clothes, but also brought a filial piety hat.
Meng Ye asked: "Brother, your style is also fake, and the fake style is not so grand." ”
Zhang Ji didn't look up, just shook his head and sighed. He knew that Meng Ye was alone and had nothing to worry about, but he was different and had a family.
Meng Ye continued: "If you break the etiquette, this kind of frustration will really backfire. ”
Zhang Ji finally spoke: "Brother, I'm afraid you don't know. The Liao soldiers entered the pass, but I am afraid that it is not groundless. ”
Meng Ye nodded and said, "It's not groundless, I'm afraid that there are false elements, if Jinan Mansion is really captured, our officials in Tokyo will not be able to sit still and want to relocate." ”
Zhang Ji said: "Maybe it's not that serious, but there is always such a thing." Brother Nian, you don't know, Xiazhang Village is on the outskirts of Jinan, and as soon as this Jinan Mansion is broken, I think, the old father and mother are in danger!"
Meng Ye held his breath and took Zhang Ji's analysis as yes. After a long silence, he said: "Or it's not that there is no hope of survival, things have to be good." ”
Zhang Ji mourned again: "In the past few days, my right eyelid has been jumping. 'There is Zhu Zi on the left, and there is wine on the right', but I am afraid that I will have to make sacrifices to my parents. ”
The two of them were relatively speechless, this Liao soldier really didn't come at the right time. It happened that the exam was catching up with this, and the emperor was not allowed to postpone it, so he could only hit it with his head and stabilize his mind first.
Unexpectedly, the words of the two of them were heard by a Henan scholar outside the window, and this person was secretly happy in his heart, and said in his heart: Zhang Ji'er is very prosperous, and it is a big trouble. After monitoring his words for several days, he didn't find anything particularly rebellious, and when he had no way to hit him, he didn't expect his parents to be on the verge of war, so he smiled and said: "Zhang Ji, don't take the test, your mother is dead, go back to mourn!"
As soon as Zhang Ji heard this, he was furious, rushed out, grabbed the collar of this person and was about to punch him. I didn't know that this person didn't dodge, raised his head and said, "If you don't fight, you are my son!"
When Zhang Ji was about to hit the bridge of the man's nose with a punch, Meng Ye grabbed his arm. The secret snooping in the past few days had already made Meng Ye suspicious, but when he found out that this person was just a scholar who was rushing to take the exam, he was not particularly vigilant.
Meng Ye grabbed Zhang Ji. The three of them were at a stalemate.
"Hmph, I didn't plant it, I didn't plant it. The man sneered.
Meng Ye's eyes motioned for Zhang Ji to let go of him. Zhang Ji let go of his hands, and Meng Ye asked, "This little friend, when did the two of us offend you?"
The man sneered and walked away. In the corridor there were men who knew him, and when they saw him coming, they all dodged. When he finally left, those people said, "How did you provoke this 'little Tai Sui'?"
Zhang Ji shook his head.
When everyone saw that he was in mourning, they didn't expect to provoke this 'little Tai Sui', so they said: "If you see him in the future, stay away, unless you don't want to mess around in the capital, or don't mess with him!"
Meng Ye was cunning and asked tentatively: "Who is that young man just now, such majesty?"
In the crowd, there was a local taxi from Tokyo and said with a smile: "This is Xiao Tai Sui, one of the candidates for this year's Enke champion." ”
Meng Ye smiled: "This hasn't been tested yet, it's one of the champions, do you want to take the test?"
The man smiled and said, "Brother, you don't know how to lift." Yao Gongzi is talented and martial, that is the dragon and phoenix among people!"
Meng Ye said: "Young Master Yao?"
The man continued: "Yao Gongzi, Yao Jichang, nicknamed 'Little Tai Sui'. When he said the three words Xiao Tai Sui, he looked nervously several times in the direction where Yao Jichang disappeared.
"Yao Jichang?"
"Yes, this Yao Gongzi is a distant cousin of Lord Wang. You said that with Yao Gongzi's style, it is difficult to fail the test!"
Meng Ye asked, "Which Lord Wang is it?"
Another scholar in the crowd came out and said with a smile: "You really don't know where the joints are! If you want to ask which Lord Wang is in this Tokyo City, it must be the right prime minister Wang Huangbei." ”
Meng Ye stopped talking, he knew that this Lord Wang was a noble man who had been powerful for a while, and it was said that he was also quite proficient in swordsmanship.
Zhang Ji didn't speak anymore, he knew that he had encountered a hard stubble. This is not as easy to bully as Li Brown, and it is still very popular. Zhang Ji secretly hated in his heart, and he must let him know that it hurts.
Zhang Ji only said that it was an ordinary dispute, or thought that it was a rich boy who was idle and had nothing to do with the people. In fact, he didn't know that an important situation was that Prime Minister Wang sent Yao Jichang to monitor the scholars to see if there was any collusion with the Liao State spies, especially the scholars from Shandong, and they must pay more attention. Zhang Ji didn't know that Prime Minister Wang had already issued an order, and if anyone dared to talk nonsense about the country, the power of life and death would be handed over to this son of Yao Jichang. What he didn't know was that the moment he raised his hand to fall just now was very dangerous, only Meng Ye sensed the murderous aura, so he stopped him.
