Chapter 1042 Gathering at the county government office

The two strong men recounted the execution story.

When Wei Zheng heard this, he said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that a mere Liu family would also want to hinder the imperial court from implementing the Confucian system."

Li Feng said: "It's not just the Liu family, but all the aristocratic families in the world have this idea."

Wei Zheng said: "Just because we have touched their interests?"

"Yes. But they are not monolithic. They just need to be hammered." Li Feng said with a smile.

Not long after, Zhou Shu returned to the county government office.

He eagerly came to Li Feng and said: "Consort, something serious has happened."

Li Feng sneered and said: "Mr. Zhou, shouldn't you be in the Liu family to persuade the Liu family not to go against me? Why did you shout that it's not good when you first came? Did the talks with the Liu family break down? So the Liu family led a group of people to come to me.

Settle accounts?"

"What's the matter, Prince-in-law, how do you know?" Zhou Shu looked at Li Feng in horror.

Li Feng suddenly smiled and said: "I guessed it. It depends on how scared you are. I won't tease you anymore. Mr. Wei and I will leave Luoyang now and return to Chang'an."

Let's go now, I think we can make it in time for dinner tonight."

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, if we leave now, we can still go home for dinner."

Zhou Shu was speechless. You have to run away, right? It's almost dark now, many people have already had dinner, and some have even gone to bed.

"But, Prince Consort, Mr. Wei, the city gate is now closed and you can't get out." Zhou Shu said awkwardly.

Li Feng pretended to be surprised and said: "The city gate of Luoyang was closed so early. Forget it, we won't go back. Please prepare dinner, Master Zhou. After correcting the test papers for so long, Master Wei and I are really tired again."

Tired and hungry."

"I'll go make arrangements now, my official." Zhou Shu left.

Wei Zheng asked: "Do you think Zhou Shu is suspicious?"

Li Feng said: "I can't say he is suspicious. At most, he is a two-faced person. He doesn't want to offend anyone, but he also wants to get promoted and make a fortune."

"This kind of person is a complete villain." Wei Zheng said, "But why, neither the people nor the court found anything wrong with him?"

Li Feng smiled and said: "Didn't I say that no one should be offended? One thing he did well as a county magistrate was that he did not let the people be wronged. For this reason, I will not take action against him.

When dealing with him, everything should be done in accordance with the laws of the imperial court."

Wei Zheng nodded and said: "No one is perfect. He is a member of the Zhou family. He favors the Zhou family and the aristocratic family. We can all understand that there are many officials like this in the imperial court. If we really need to deal with them, I am afraid that 80% of the officials in the entire imperial court will have to deal with them."

"

Li Feng nodded.

Wei Zheng asked again: "What do you think about the Liu family finding someone to deal with you?"

"I don't have any idea. If the soldiers come, we will block it, and if the water comes, the soil will cover us." Li Feng said lightly.

"Are you not worried at all?" Wei Zheng said.

Li Feng shrugged and said he was not worried at all.

Wei Zheng didn't want to say anything else.

Zhou Shu came back soon to report and told Li Feng and Wei Zheng that dinner was ready, so the two went to dinner.

Li Feng also told Zhou Shu that the list would be posted tomorrow and everyone would pass it and register at the Royal Civil and Military Academy in Chang'an three days later.

After Zhou Shu accepted the order, he went to make arrangements.

Early the next morning, an official posted the list, which caused everyone to talk about it, saying that the exam paper was too easy.

After a group of exam-taking students learned the news, they all showed happy smiles.

As for other people's questions, these scholars completely ignored them and told their families one by one.

Ban Fu and a group of other scholars who had signed up but did not take the exam expressed their dissatisfaction. Under the leadership of Liu Hai, they all gathered together.

"Everyone, it's obvious that we are being targeted. How can we pass all of them? Even if we take part in the imperial examination, some people will fail. How can a concubine pass all the examinations? There must be something fishy. Let's go to the Prince Consort to judge."

Banfu said.

"Yes, there must be something fishy, ​​let's go and find out." A scholar said.

Zhou Yi said: "It's not enough for us to go, we need to find someone to help us."

Ban Fu said: "Zhou Yi, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush."

Zhou Yi said: "Li Feng is not afraid of us at all, and even published slanderous newspapers on us. We need to find a group of highly reputable scholars to help us.

First of all, we have to prove our innocence and cannot admit the dirty water Li Feng poured on us."

Ban Fu and others nodded, but they still remembered that Li Feng said that he would report this matter to the newspaper.

What they fear most is that Li Feng will talk nonsense in the newspaper, confuse right and wrong, and ruin their reputation. In this way, their lives will be over.

Banfu said: "Now we need to divide our troops into two groups. One group goes to buy newspapers. We need to know the contents of the newspapers. On the other side we need to find some highly respected scholars to help us."

Zhou Yidao: "I'm going to buy a newspaper. Let's go find the great scholar."

"good."

So everyone started to take action. First, they went to the highly respected Confucians and asked those Confucian scholars to support them and prove them.

An old man stopped Zhou Yi: "Young man, I heard that you are going to buy a newspaper, can you help me buy one too?"

…

Liu Mansion.

A young man stood in front of Liu Hai.

"Uncle, my mentor has promised my nephew to come out. Please rest assured, uncle, my nephew will definitely help his cousin get revenge."

Liu Hai said with great joy: "Uncle's love for you was not in vain. Your father passed away early, otherwise the position of the head of the family would have belonged to your father.

You have inherited your father's intelligence, so I asked you to become the master of Kongshan Master and inherit the title of head of the family in the future."

The young man bowed and said: "Thank you uncle for your kindness, but my nephew also said that he has no intention of being the head of the family. He is obsessed with learning and wants to learn more profound knowledge from his mentor.

If my uncle hadn’t persuaded my mentor with his new learning this time, I’m afraid my mentor wouldn’t have left the mountain.”

"This also requires your help, otherwise the great scholar Kongshan would not come out."

"This is what my nephew should do. After all, my nephew's surname is Liu. I don't want others to bully my Liu family." The young man said in a deep voice, with a stern look on his face, which was completely different from the gentle and elegant look just now.

They are completely different.

Liu Hai was very happy to see him and said: "This is the Liu family. Come on, follow me and invite your mentor down the mountain."

"My mentor has gone down the mountain and has gone to visit the city to inquire about Li Feng. Now my nephew does not know the specific location of his mentor," the young man said.

"Then let's go to the county government office and wait for the great scholar." Liu Hai said.

"That's fine," the young man said.

The young man's name was Liu Ziyan, and he was the son of Liu Hai's second brother. At that time, Mr. Liu wanted to make Liu Ziyan's father the head of the family. Unfortunately, he eventually contracted an incurable disease and died, and then it was the eldest brother Liu Hai's turn to be the head of the family.

After Liu Hai became the head of the family, he loved his nephew Liu Ziyan very much, even better than his own son, and threatened that the position of head of the family would be passed on to Liu Ziyan in the future.

He also sent Liu Ziyan to study with the best and most powerful scholar in Luoyang, Kongshan Daru.

No one knows the true name of Kong Shan Da Ru, not even Liu Ziyan, who is his disciple.

The name Kongshan was given by Kongshan himself. No one knows where Kongshan came from. They only know that after Kongshan appeared in Luoyang, he came to challenge the great Confucian scholar who had been famous in Luoyang for a long time.

However, he never failed and became the greatest scholar in Luoyang.

Kongshan was famous for a while, so people who wanted to become his disciples crossed the threshold of his family. But Kongshan did not accept anyone as a disciple.

However, in more than ten years, Kongshan also accepted four disciples, Liu Ziyan was the fourth, and the four of them studied with Kongshan.

If there is no emergency, the four of them will not leave the side of Kongshan.

Liu Hai called Liu Ziyan over this time because he wanted to use the empty mountain to deal with Li Feng.

Liu told Liu Ziyan that his cousin was beaten by Li Feng's men, and what happened was almost very clear. He told Kong Shan that it was true that new learning was emerging, and Li Feng, the consort, wanted to completely drive Confucianism into the abyss.

Hearing this, Kong Shan shouted, "Junior is arrogant," and then promised Liu Ziyan to go out to help the Liu family deal with Li Feng.

Kong Shan lives on a hill and rarely attacks him. Many scholars only know this person, but don’t know what he looks like?

He went down the mountain after promising Liu Ziyan, and then he went down the mountain. Where he is now, Liu Ziyan doesn't know.

Liu Hai took Liu Ziyan and a group of scholars to the county government office. These scholars were not descendants of aristocratic families, but were a group of children from poor families. They all relied on some wealthy families, or wanted to rely on the children of poor families.

Most of them signed up to take part in the examination, but because of Liu Zicheng and others, none of them went to participate.

What I regret the most now is this group of scholars. If they can't take the imperial examination and become a master, that's acceptable. But if they can't take the imperial examination, they can't accept it.

Participating in the imperial examination is the only way out for these poor people, so when Liu Hai asks for justice for them, they are willing to gather together and help Liu Hai build momentum.

Liu Hai led a group of scholars on the street and took the lead in shouting: "The prince-in-law is unfair. Give me justice."

"The prince-in-law is unfair. Give me justice."
