Chapter 596: True origin is more important than hard work
Mr. Li was quite arrogant and mocked Cao Yun and Lu Wenzhao unscrupulously.
"The imperial examination is prepared for people like us!"
"You guys are born to be made of clay!"
Seeing how arrogant Mr. Li was, other people in the group couldn't stand it anymore.
The leader in brocade clothes spoke softly.
"Li Yu, be careful what you say!"
"Don't let trouble come from your mouth!"
Although what Mr. Li said is true, sometimes family background is more useful than hard work.
All roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome.
But this cannot be said directly!
These words are too arrogant and too easy to make enemies!
Li Yu didn't take it seriously at all, he just said it very arrogantly.
"It's okay, Brother Zhao, I didn't say anything!"
Li Yu didn't take Zhao Jin's advice seriously at all.
He is used to being arrogant, and no one takes him seriously!
Zhao Jin frowned when he heard this, but subconsciously stayed away from Li Yu, feeling that if this guy continued to be so arrogant, something would happen sooner or later.
But then his brows widened.
He advised, but if Li Yu didn't listen, then he wouldn't listen. The two of them weren't very familiar with each other in the first place.
We just met each other when we stayed in an inn recently.
No matter how much trouble Li Yu comes out of his mouth, it is none of his business.
At this moment, a series of neat footsteps sounded outside the inn, and a large group of patrol soldiers responsible for Nanjing city security broke into the inn.
Lock down the hotel lobby!
The leading black-robed official glanced around the lobby and said coldly.
"Who's name is Li Yu?"
Although the group of soldiers did not speak, they all put their hands on the handles of their swords.
Cold eyes glanced around, filled with murderous intent.
Most of the patrol troops responsible for maintaining public security in Nanjing are retired soldiers of the Liberation Army.
These people have all fought and fought on the battlefield, elite soldiers who fought all the way from Nanyang to Nanjing.
Even though he is retired now, the murderous aura in his body remains undiminished.
Where can a group of weak scholars live?
Li Yu saw that these soldiers were here to find him. Although his calves were shaking, he still stood up and said.
"I...I just dare to ask this official what business he has with the student?"
The leading official glanced at Li Yu coldly, took out a stack of documents from his arms, and read.
"The Li family in Wuxi resisted the emperor's orders, obstructed the implementation of the imperial decrees, and even coerced the villagers, occupied the Wuxi county government office, and beat the imperial officials. This is a heinous crime and is tantamount to conspiracy!"
"His Royal Highness the Supervisor has issued an edict that the head of the Li family in Wuxi will have his family confiscated and be exiled to Nanyang. He will not be allowed to return to his place of origin for five generations!"
"Collateral descendants are not allowed to take the imperial examination and enter official positions within three generations!"
"Li Yu, as the legitimate son of the Li family in Wuxi, you are also on the exile list. Come with us!"
The reason is just exile, not killing.
It's not that Zhu Hongyu didn't dare to kill, but it was unnecessary.
What Ming Dynasty lacks most now is population and labor force. Zhu Hongyu is really unwilling to kill people if it is not necessary.
Exiling people to Nanyang and immigrating to Shibian is the best choice for the current Ming Dynasty.
After hearing this, Li Yu's face instantly turned pale, his legs and feet went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
He just said with dull eyes.
"No, it's impossible!"
"This is impossible, I don't believe it!"
"..."
He had just said that his background was more important than his hard work, but in just a short time, his whole family had been exiled...
True background is really more important than hard work!
No matter how hard he tried, Li Yu could not withstand his family's attempts to commit suicide, and he was disqualified from the imperial examination!
What the hell is this called?
This is a fucking surprise!
Li Yu's heart was full of resentment towards his father. Don't you know your son is going to take the imperial examination? Why did you jump?
What are you doing with this thing?
If the imperial court wants to investigate Dingkou and clear out the father-in-law's land, let the imperial court do it!
How could it be possible that someone who had shown his chariots and horses was against the imperial court and His Highness the Supervisor, who was fighting out of blood and fire, could end up well?
However, no matter how resentful Li Yu felt, it could not change the established facts.
Even his thin arms couldn't hold up Ming's thick legs.
With everyone watching helplessly, Li Yu, who was lying limply on the ground, was picked up by two soldiers on the left and right, and dragged out.
Everyone else in the inn was filled with fear and fear!
Zhao Jin stood there, holding his chest, thankful that his family did not go against Ming Dynasty and did not risk his death for the imperial examination qualifications!
Everyone else in the field also had the same expression!
On the other hand, Lu Wenzhao and Cao Yun behaved relatively calmly and continued to return to their rooms, where they began to review without sleep or food.
They know that if they take the orthodox Jinshi exam, compared with those from wealthy families, they can be said to have lost at the starting line.
The educational resources that wealthy families can receive are far beyond what they can compare with!
But if you take the law subjects related to criminal names and the arithmetic subjects related to arithmetic, that may not necessarily be the case.
They still have a certain degree of confidence in their abilities in what they are good at.
In addition, those traditional candidates for wealthy families may not necessarily be interested in miscellaneous subjects such as law and arithmetic. It is estimated that most people will continue to get involved in the bachelor's degree.
In the view of Lu Wenzhao and Cao Yun, the imperial examinations for these miscellaneous subjects were a benefit given by the imperial court to them, the princes of poor families.
Zhao Jin turned around and glanced at the people behind him. He had no intention of going out to join the banquet anymore and just said.
"Stop standing here!"
"Everyone, go back to your room and study hard. The enthronement ceremony is over and the imperial examination is over. Don't be idle anymore!"
“If I fail the exam this time, I don’t know when the next imperial examination will be!”
The imperial examination held after the Ming Dynasty supervisor ascended the throne was regarded as an encore.
However, according to usual practice, the imperial examination is held once every three years.
If I fail this time, I might not be able to take the exam again until three years later!
And how many three years can there be in life?
Time is precious and tight now, and there is no time to waste.
Everyone agreed one after another and went back to their rooms.
However, not long after that, just at night, some people could not bear the loneliness of studying hard.
Travel in twos and threes and swim the Qinhuai River together!
It’s called the Qinhuai Poetry Festival!
Nanjing's prosperity, Nanjing's wealth, Nanjing's humanities and beauty...
It’s so easy to get lost in it!
…
Time passed little by little, and the battle between Guan Ning's army and the Qing army in Chang'an City continued.
Obai commanded the Qing army to launch attacks on Chang'an City again and again, but Guan Ning's army resisted strongly.
As the war dragged on, Wu Sangui began to realize little by little that the Qing army was actually not that scary!
Facing the fortified city of Chang'an, the Qing army was trapped under the city and could not conquer it for a long time, and was severely beaten by Guan Ning's army.
But Guan Ning's army was fighting more and more smoothly in the defensive battle.
As the siege battles with disparity in casualties were fought one after another, the morale of Guan Ning's army, which had been suppressed by the Qing army, began to recover bit by bit.
ps: There are only three updates today.
It’s the last day of the month, asking for support!
