Under the imperial list, the scholars roared away in indignation according to their respective places of origin.
The surrounding soldiers, common people and even many noble men and women who were watching the excitement were all dumbfounded.
"Why are these scholars making such a fuss?" the people thought.
"These scholars are so brave!" the soldiers thought to themselves.
And those distinguished disciples who were riding their horses to watch from afar, after a brief moment of confusion, all laughed with joy at the misfortune. Then they hurriedly rode away to see more fun.
In the private room on the second floor of a restaurant next to Huangbang, Zhu Yunxi and the old man watched it very clearly from beginning to end.
"Look, how brave you are!" The old man lowered his lips and said to Zhu Yunxi, "These plagued scholars, if you don't look at them for a day and give them some good looks, they will cause such a big trouble? Beiren
Missed one? Ha, isn’t this a slap in our faces?”
"Grandpa Emperor, it's my grandson who failed to take care of them!" Zhu Yunxi also had murderous intent flashing in the corners of his eyes. In order to stabilize the court since he came to the throne, he followed the rules and regulations without making any big changes. He was thinking about something.
Take your time and let nature take its course.
But I didn't expect that such a big mistake would happen now.
"How can this be blamed on you!" The old man laughed and patted Zhu Yunxi on the shoulder, "We have killed so many corrupt officials in our life, but have we eradicated corruption?"
As he said that, the old man looked at Zhu Yunxi again, "No one will be the emperor when he is born, let alone anyone who is born to be the emperor. No matter who you are, even if your father is alive, this is what we say. You must learn while doing it."
"The emperor is a human being too! It's impossible for him to be able to think of everything and do everything well! Throughout the ages, look at the wise and mighty emperor who became famous as soon as he came to power!"
"The Qin Shihuang and the Han Wudi are not very good. There have only been two of them in thousands of years. Didn't they become emperors for eternity as soon as they ascended the throne?"
"When we first became emperor, didn't we just let those scholars boss us around?"
"A good emperor must go through two things. First, training. Second, time!"
"A man can mature only after going through trials, and can become stable after going through time. You must never think that nothing will happen. If the ministers know the emperor's unwillingness to cause trouble, they will definitely hide it from you and not let you know if something happens!"
"Don't be afraid if something goes wrong, just change it!"
"What I fear the most is a lump of harmony, and the surface of donkey dung eggs is shiny!"
Speaking of this, the old man smiled again and said, "When you are an emperor, it is common for people below to fool you. They say that the emperor keeps his word, but the emperor, if he doesn't leave the Forbidden City, he is nothing. There are many smart people in the world.
There are more people with evil thoughts."
"Being an emperor depends on your fate, as long as you are reincarnated. There are many people in the world who are smarter than the emperor."
"My grandson, thank you for your steadfast teachings!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Having an old man in the family is like having a treasure!"
The old man curled his lips again, "Stop flattering!" He said, sighing slightly, "We know that even if I don't care about this matter, sooner or later you will have to fix those scholars who have been punished! But we don't want you to leave a bad reputation.
!”
"Your grandpa has completely lost all his dignity in this life. After his death, he will be reviled by thousands of people. No matter how many lice you have, you don't need to worry about it. No matter how many names you get, you don't have to worry!"
At this time, the old man turned around and said to Song Guogong Feng Sheng, who was sitting at the tea table behind him, "Old Feng, your hometown in Fengyang has come to visit you. What should you do?"
Today, Zhu Yunxi and the old man came out incognito. Firstly, they came to the imperial list to watch the excitement, and secondly, they wanted the old man to relax, so they temporarily captured Song Guogong Feng Sheng to accompany them.
Hearing this, the old Duke smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you know that I have done a lot of good and bad things in my life, but I have never let my fellow villagers suffer!" After saying that, he smiled and said, "Although we in Fengyang are not
I fought my way out of Wenquxing, but the students over there have been wronged, so I really want to show off my old face and go talk to those scholars who have suffered from the plague."
"Haha!" The old man laughed and said, "Yes, damn it, our fellow Fengyang fellows, they dare not take the seeds of reading in Fengyang, it's a big deal!"

Not long after, the unsuccessful candidates openly shouted that there was something fishy about the imperial examination, and it spread like wildfire in the capital. The more rumors spread, the more evil it became.
On the long street, the common people had not seen the new scholars parading on horseback, but first they saw the people who went berserk and complained everywhere.
In several provinces in the north, as long as there were officials in the government or high officials, they were immediately chased and intercepted by students.
Cao Guogong Li Jinglong just came out of the Yamen of Lifanyuan. Lifanyuan has not even set up a framework yet, and has just chosen an office location. Just next to Daming Gate, the former vassal residence of King Jingjiang and his family in Beijing was taken over by the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Mansion.
It was sitting idle after I came back, but now I can just take it and use it.
Li Jinglong's carriage was luxurious and spacious, and it felt quite comfortable to seat three or five people inside.
He and Yang Shiqi sat opposite each other in the carriage, drinking tea and chatting.
"Congratulations!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "The tenth place in the first class is well deserved!"
Yang Shiqi cupped his hands and said, "They are all cultivated by my father-in-law!"
"I don't dare take it!" Li Jinglong waved his hands hurriedly, "I can't cultivate this kind of thing. You have to live up to your own merits and write a good article!" He said, "Long live the Lord!"
"Student, I am grateful for the divine grace!" Yang Shiqi hurriedly raised his hands to the sky and sighed slightly, "Shiqi is so virtuous and capable that he can be valued by the emperor. It is really hard to repay such kindness!"
"Just work hard from now on!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "Tomorrow you will go to the Ministry of Etiquette with me, and then go to the Ministry of Personnel in the afternoon. After the passing ceremony, you will come to the Lifan Courtyard." After saying that, he patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Shi
Odd, I come from a military background, so I need more help from you in this civil service matter!"
"Shiqi dares not to die!" Yang Shiqi lowered his head.
At this moment, the guards suddenly shouted loudly from outside, "Who are you! Get away quickly!"
Then there was the sound of knives being drawn, and Yang Shiqi in the carriage was startled. Looking out, he saw dozens of people surrounding him in darkness.
Suddenly, he was stunned.
"In this important place of the capital, in broad daylight, are these people?"
Li Jinglong, on the other hand, had a calm face. He just frowned slightly and looked out the window, then said to the guards outside the carriage, "Who is making a fuss?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a scholar outside shouted, "We are scholars from Jinke, and we want to see Duke Cao Guo!"
"We have suffered injustice, please ask Mr. Cao Guo to make the decision for us!"
"Cao Guogong, among the candidates selected for Jinshi in this examination, no one from the five northern provinces, Zhili, Huguang, and Guangxi, was selected. Those who were selected were all from Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi. There must be someone practicing favoritism and causing harm to the country!"
"Please forgive me, Mr. Cao Guo, for I am wronged!"
"It is unheard of in the past dynasties that all the people from the north failed! Not only were all the people chosen to be from the south, but so were the examiners. How could there be nothing ulterior motives among them?"
As soon as the words fell, Li Jinglong and Yang Shi's expressions suddenly changed.
Li Jinglong was shocked, while Yang Shiqi's face was blank.
Throughout the dynasties, cases of fraud in imperial examinations have been a major cause of death.
"How did you find me about this matter?" Li Jinglong wondered, "I'm not the one who cares about this matter!"
Yang Shiqi muttered to himself, "It's over. Regardless of whether there is fraud or not, if the students start a riot, this case will be exposed."
At this moment, Li Jinglong's personal guard Li Laowai opened the car curtain and said, "Master, please leave quickly. Those stupid scholars are going crazy and are running forward. Brothers don't dare to greet them for fear of
It can’t be stopped!”
Yes, those men who blinked even if their heads fell off on the battlefield. Now facing the students approaching step by step, their palms are sweating with anxiety.
These are all scholars, and the swords of warriors like them would not dare to fall on them.
"Where is Mr. Cao Guo?"
"Come out and meet us!"
"As a minister of the country, how can Duke Cao sit idly by and do nothing?"
As he spoke, Li Jinglong quickly turned over and walked out from the other side of the carriage. Then in the blink of an eye, he got on the guard's horse and rode away.
"Hey, I'm still here?" Yang Shiqi was stunned for a moment and shouted.
"Gong Cao Guo?"
With a shout, the car curtain was forcefully opened, and several soldiers broke through Li Jinglong's escort and came over.
"Hey, how many are there?" Yang Shiqi saw that the other party's eyes were red, and he quickly smiled and handed over his hands.
"Who are you? Where is Cao Guogong?" a scholar asked loudly.
"This Duke Cao Guo is not here, I am his relative!"
Yang Shiqi was so anxious that he must not let these students know that he was also a newly admitted Jinshi. Otherwise, he would be a Jinshi sitting in Li Jinglong's sedan, and it would be really hard to explain.
