Listening to Guanshi Yang's words, Fang Jinglong frowned unconsciously, looking thoughtful.

"Besides, the students are outside..." Steward Yang hesitated, and continued: "I heard that this matter has spread among the scholars, and many scholars are outraged by it, so..."

"Hmm..." Fang Jinglong nodded and nodded: "Scholars really can't be provoked. If you provoke them urgently, you will cause trouble."

Steward Yang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Then...uncle, will you talk to the young master?"

"No." Fang Jinglong's answer was straightforward.

Steward Yang was stunned: "Uncle, this..."

Fang Jinglong narrowed his eyes, and then said earnestly: "Guard Yang, you have been with this old man for so many years, and you also know that this old man is an upright person, and you have never done anything wrong in your life, right?"

"You don't understand, the old man doesn't care, it's for the country and the people."

For the country...for the people...

Steward Yang felt chilly: "Can I ask uncle to enlighten me?"

Fang Jinglong's eyes widened: "You, you are really confused. I know that you sympathize with those three scholars, but my own son, don't you know that? My son was born to be a villain! Think about it, isn't it now? It's pretty good, staying at home every day, not going out of the door, not going out of the second door, only cheating three scholars, although it's not good, but it's better than letting him idle all day, going out to harm more people At home, only three people will be killed, but when we go out, only God knows how many people will be killed."

"..." Steward Yang was already dumbfounded.

Fang Jinglong sighed, and continued: "Didn't you scholars have a saying that it's better to cry all the way than to make a family cry? Instead of only harming three scholars, but saving thousands of people from fire and water, don't you count this account?" Clear? So, I don’t care about this matter. It’s a pity that the three scholars are sacrificed, but it’s good for the country and the people. Look at the problem, don’t care about the gains and losses of one person and one place, and look at the overall situation , to be far-sighted."

Steward Yang actually felt that he was very cheap, and felt that there was a grain of truth in Uncle's words, so he nodded subconsciously.

"That's right." Fang Jinglong heaved a sigh of relief: "I am very pleased with my current life. You see, our Fang family's land and shop have returned. Not only that, but they have also increased several times compared to before; The silver in the treasury was piled up like a mountain; the son didn't know what luck he had, but he was even given a gold belt. At that time, the palace would have to enlist him as a servant in the palace. If you are confused, it is possible to take over from the old man."

Speaking of this, Fang Jinglong felt so happy that he wanted to shed tears. The tears in his red eyes were overflowing, and he couldn't help but raised his sleeve to wipe it: "This is the virtue of the ancestors. There is smoke from the grave of the ancestors, and the incense is burned."

"So..." Fang Jinglong sullenly said, "It's important to know yourself! It's a pity for the three scholars, but for the well-being of more people in the capital, we have to wrong them."

"..." Steward Yang felt that it was a boring thing. It was obviously a bad thing. Now it has become a universal celebration, but he felt that it made sense, so he nodded repeatedly, and only silently mourned for the three scholars in his heart. .

The stereotyped essays by Ouyang Zhi and the others have been written seven or eight articles in a row. Now I just read the three questions of "wealth and honor are impossible", "must also make no lawsuits" and "benevolent government in today's time" and I feel disgusting .

But Fang Jifan just said that their articles were not good and asked them to continue answering questions.

They can only search their brains and brains, think of a better way to solve the problem again and again, and pick up the pen again and again. They have struggled from the beginning, then despair, and finally... simply dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water.

Just toss around, anyway, this subject is definitely going to lose its name, so I can only play around with my teacher.

However, the news spread to the capital, and the scholars were excited. Many felt sorry for the three of Ouyang Zhi, and were even indignant at Fang Jifan, who took pleasure in torturing the scholars.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and in the beginning of autumn, the weather gradually turned cold, and the rural examination began.

Early in the morning, His Majesty drove to the Nuan Pavilion. Although the provincial examination is not as good as the national examination, it is because it is a way to select candidates. For Emperor Hongzhi, who strives hard to govern and selects talents and abilities, he is of course very important. He is quite looking forward to it. I really want to know how many talents can be produced in this subject in Beizhili.

Because of the emphasis on this year's rural examination, the chief examiner this time is Wang Ao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Wang Ao is known for his honesty and honesty. He was once the teacher of Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi valued him very much. Now he is in a high position. What's more, the Ministry of Officials is very important. It is because it controls the merit test and appointment and dismissal of officials all over the world, so it is the most central department. As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, it can also be seen that Emperor Hongzhi trusted him.

Not only that, but Wang Ao's reputation as an official was excellent, and he had always been respected by the government and the public. In Emperor Hongzhi's heart, he presided over the Beizhili Township Examination, which showed the importance that the palace attached to the Beizhili Township Examination.

Today is the day when the exams begin. As soon as Emperor Hongzhi arrived in the Nuan Pavilion, several bachelors from the cabinet had already arrived.

These scholars are all ministers of the humerus of Emperor Hongzhi, from Liu Jian to Li Dongyang to Xie Qian, all of them are contemporary famous ministers.

Before the three old ministers saluted, Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly: "There is no need to be too polite, today is the imperial court's grand ceremony for recruiting talents, I hope that more people will be recruited from various provinces today, so that in the future they can serve me like princes. Share worries for the imperial court."

Liu Jian stroked his beard, looked very emotional, nodded and said:

"What Your Majesty said is that since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has given preferential treatment to scholars and selected talents to use them. All the scholars in the world hope to pass the imperial examination to become an official and serve His Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi sipped his tea and smiled, it seemed that because Liu Jian said that he was lenient to scholars, he suddenly felt that all the troubles of the past few days had been forgotten.

But at this time, there was a discordant voice: "Your Majesty, I received an impeachment memorial from the imperial censor yesterday. It's okay if you don't read it. After reading it, I was really worried and didn't sleep all night."

Emperor Hongzhi followed the voice, but it was Xie Qian, a cabinet scholar.

Xie Qian is different from Liu Jian and Li Dongyang. Liu Jian is steady, Li Dongyang is wise, but Xie Qian is eloquent. Not only that, he is also a hothead who hates evil.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "Qing Xie has come to sue the imperial court again. Tell me, what troubles do you have to worry about?"

Xie Qian said indignantly: "Lin Han, the censor of the North Zhili Branch of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, said that Fang Jifan, Nanhe's uncle, was usually unrestrained and bullied the good people; soldiers and civilians dare not speak out; now he has gone too far and humiliated Scholars, let three scholars worship him as a teacher, and ordered them to go to Nanhebo Mansion, claiming to teach them knowledge in person. Your Majesty, I have pity on these three scholars. Fang Jifan's nonsense for a while, he abandoned his studies, and missed his fame. Your Majesty, this matter has aroused the dissatisfaction of scholars. Many scholars have complained about these three scholars. I implore Your Majesty to strictly warn Fang Jifan to save this The three scholars are in the midst of water and fire."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help frowning, it was Fang Jifan again.

This guy is really a housekeeper, doing all kinds of evil.

To be honest, Emperor Hongzhi had long wanted to deal with this guy who claimed that the golden belt was actually copper.

only……

What Xie Qian played on his behalf was Yushi's impeachment memorial, so it's okay to be taught a lesson in private, but once it is because of this impeachment memorial, it's another matter to respond officially.

This is not the same as directly embarrassing Nanhe Bofu, what's more, this guy has just given him a golden belt and praised him a lot. If he directly reprimands him now, wouldn't it prove that he has no knowledge of people?

...

Rheumatic pain, but in this long night, the tiger endured loneliness and severe pain, and worked hard to code words. What he thought was to plant a seed, which would take root and germinate, and produce recommendation tickets, rewards, collections, etc. Fruit, but this is just hope. After all, the tiger knows that the author's painstaking efforts are only a few thousand words in the eyes of the readers. They can be read in a few minutes, and some are just complaints and support about why the update is not fast. Don't think about it!

Thinking of this, the tiger... cried!
