Three hundred and twentieth chapters mess my heart
Chapter 322: Those who disturb my mind
Ni Yuanlu, Wang Binglin, Huang Zunsu, and Qi Biaojia were all watching chess on the white-covered boat with four bright tiles. At this time, they saw Jian servant Nengzhu coming in with a crumpled dirty cloth. Ni Yuanlu was so clean that she frowned and said, "What is this?"
?”
Neng Zhu presented the piece of dirty cloth to Zhang Dai: "I don't know who threw it on the boat. I didn't see anyone." He raised his left hand again, holding a pebble in his hand, and said, "Wrap it on this stone."
, stone, cloth.”
"Don't you have any scissors?" Zhang Dai smiled "hey". Seeing that the cloth was dirty, he refused to take it and said, "Spread it out and take a look."
Nengzhu squatted down and unfolded the cloth on the floor. It was a half-foot-square white cotton cloth with a few lines of ink written on it. It was obviously written with a bare pen, but there were still a few ink words that smeared and spread when exposed to water -
—
On the eve of the competition, there was a rumbling wind, and everyone's hearts were filled with fear. They gathered together to pay attention to this wrinkled piece of dirty cloth, and saw the writing on the cloth:
"Colleagues from Hanshe paid homage to Zhangshe for the first seven arts, ending with the seven words "One day, I will rise to the sky", which means I am guaranteed to win——"
These twenty-nine words were nothing more than a thunderclap that exploded in everyone's ears. For a moment, fraud cases in major examination rooms of this dynasty rushed into their hearts——
In the twelfth year of Hongzhi, before the national examination, Xu Jing in Jiangyin and Tang Yin in Suzhou asked the examiners for questions, but they failed. Xu Jing and Tang Yin were dismissed from their positions, and the examiner Cheng Minzheng was dismissed;
In the 22nd year of Jiajing's reign in the Shuntianfu Township Examination of Guimaoke, the examiners Qin Mingxia and Pu Yingqi sold the test questions to brothers Zhai Rujian and Zhai Ruxiao. After the incident, the examiners were dismissed and the examinees were sent to the army——
…
Ni Yuanlu and others looked at Zhang Yuan, surprised and doubtful. This matter is no small matter——
Zhang Yuan glanced at the calligraphy on the floor, his mind as clear as a mirror, and he was extremely angry, but he tried to be calm and said: "This is the traitor Xiao Xiao who wants to mess with our hearts. Don't be fooled."
Wang Binglin said angrily: "Who is so vicious and uses such tricks to disturb us on the eve of entering the church? It is really disgusting."
Zhang Yuandao: "Senior brother, please don't get angry. If you are disturbed by this incident, you will fall into the trap of the traitor."
Huang Zunsu thought more deeply and said: "This plan is very poisonous. It is aimed at Jie Zi and my colleagues in the Han Society. It is not only to disturb our hearts, but there will be follow-up rumors. If my colleagues in the Han Society are Chinese people, this rumor will
It will become more and more popular. Although it may not necessarily do anything to us, it is always a variable that is not good for us."
Huang Zunsu was worthy of being the think tank of the Donglin Party later, with keen insight and profound thinking——
Zhang Yuan nodded and said: "Brother Zhen is absolutely right. There is no guarantee that traitors will trap us, but they can still discredit, make a bad name, and mess up the situation. If we bribe the censor again, we can report it to the imperial court and let the Hanlin Academy investigate."
At that time, there were lots of rumors and long nights and dreams, which was always bad for us."
Zhang Dai asked urgently: "If this is the case, how should we respond?"
Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and said: "There are more than a hundred Hanshe members participating in the Zhejiang Provincial Examination. I expect that many of them have received such stone cloth. At this time, it is impossible to verify them one by one.
Notice, the only way is to take a pre-emptive strike and publicize this matter, I will go to Gongyuan to see the promotion officer-"
Huang Zunsu said with enthusiasm: "Meson, I will go with you."
Wang Binglin said: "Let's all go together."
Six people holding six umbrellas, and several servants wearing bamboo hats and raincoats set foot on the south bank of the canal on a rainy night. Mu Zhenzhen, who was on the white-covered boat with three bright tiles, heard the noise and ran to the bow of the boat and asked: "Master, are you going?"
where?"
Zhang Yuandao: "Come together really."
Mu Zhenzhen said: "Master, wait a minute." After returning to the cabin, he quickly tied the small dragon stick to his right thigh, took an umbrella, jumped ashore, opened the umbrella, and slowly followed Zhang Yuan.
From the canal bank to Hangzhou Gongyuan, it is not a remote place. Although it is a rainy night, there are many people walking all the way. Qingyun Street is even more lively. The candidates are not in the mood to read at this time. They all gather together to draft the questions. They are mysterious and wishful thinking.
The scenery afterwards——
Zhang Yuan and his entourage arrived outside the east gate of Gongyuan, also called Yumen. At this time, the gate was tightly closed, and iron thorns were inserted into the wall more than one foot high. There was a tree square outside the gate, and there were sergeants guarding the square in front of it.
Zhang Yuan asked the guard sergeant to see the promotion officer He Fangbo. The examiner Qian Qianyi and the deputy examiner Wang Bian could not be seen. What Zhang Yuan wanted to see was the Zhejiang Chief Envoy He Rushen who served as the promotion officer. Fangbo refers to the Bu
Political envoy——
The examiners of the rural examination are divided into inner curtain officers and outer curtain officers. The inner curtain officers are the chief, deputy examiner, room officer, and marking officer. They have entered the Gongyuan three days before the exam starts. They are isolated inside and outside. They cannot enter or exit privately, nor can they see anyone outside the venue.
The outer curtain official refers to the promotion officer, the supervisory officer, etc. The promotion officer is also called the tribute promotion officer. He takes charge of all affairs inside and outside the examination hall. The highest official of a province, the chief envoy, temporarily acts as the chief envoy. This shows that the Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to the provincial examination.
A spot——
The sergeant refused to inform Zhang Yuan, saying that the exam was about to start. To prevent fraud, the outside officer would not have contact with the candidates. Zhang Yuan asked the sergeant to send the cotton piece with twenty-nine characters written on it to the transfer officer, saying that it was of great importance.
——
Seeing Zhang Yuan's solemn words, one of the guard sergeants said: "It's not easy to see the transfer officer. I'll go ask the gate officer for instructions. (Temple)" Then he took the piece of cotton into the square to see the gate officer, and the gate officer looked at it.
At first glance, it seemed that the matter was not trivial. Someone had bribed the inner curtain examiner, so he let go of the door lock and went to see He Fangbo, the chief envoy to the imperial examination.
Zhang Yuan and others were waiting outside the door holding umbrellas. After waiting for about a moment, a group of people walked out of Yumen, including the transfer officer and the supervisor, followed closely by the inspection officer and the supervisor——
The chief envoy He Rushen heard about Zhang Yuan's name, and immediately asked Zhang Yuan what happened outside the door, and said: "In every provincial examination, there are always rumors of one kind or another. You don't have to worry about this. Ye Yu and I
The history has been known, you all should go back, have a good rest, and don’t miss the entrance."
Ye Yushi is the supervisory officer, prime minister, and picks up illegal and illegal things in the exam——
Zhang Yuan's goal was achieved, so he bowed and bowed, retreated, and returned to the canal boat. By this time, the three drums had already been played. The traitor's goal of disturbing their minds was also achieved. Such an incident happened on the eve of the exam. Zhang Yuan and the others felt that
It's never going to be fun.
The rain was still falling, making a soft sound on the boat awning. Mu Zhenzhen blew out the light and lay down on the small couch on the other side of the Lingbi stone screen. On the other side of the screen, Zhang Yuan lay on his back with his hands clasped behind his head, his eyes
Looking at the dim cabin roof, I was thinking who wanted to harass and frame him. Was it Yao Fu's relatives or friends? Dong Qichang instigated it? The other one was Wang Ruqian? Of course, it was also possible that none of the above three people were involved.
It’s not impossible to hate——
Zhang Yuan deeply felt that it was difficult to live in the world. If he wanted to do something, he would touch the interests of some people. He was still just a student, and he was still working hard on the way to the imperial examination. There were these twists and turns. In the future, he would have to become an official in the court.
Trying to change some bad policies, you can imagine the resistance——
But when he reflected on whether he should not have offended Dong Qichang and Wang Ruqian in the first place, Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said to himself: "I will still do what I did before. If I want to work hard, I cannot please everyone. If I behave with my tail between my legs,
, which is euphemistically called hiding one's strength and biding one's time, even if you can reach a high position one day, you will still have no edge and will be nothing more than a walking corpse."
…
Mu Zhenzhen heard that the young master on the other side of the screen was tossing and turning for a long time and still hadn't fallen asleep, so he called softly: "Young Master——"
Zhang Yuan responded: "What's really going on?"
Mu Zhenzhen said: "Young master, please be patient, don't think too much, and rest early."
Zhang Yuan said "hmm", and after a while, he said: "Zhenzhen, come to me."
Mu Zhenzhen hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "Young master, it can't be done. My wife has ordered me not to let the young master - that, lest it damage my mind and affect the exam."
Zhang Yuan smiled "Hey", his mother was really worried, she still had to take care of this matter, no wonder Mu Zhenzhen went to sleep early every night these days and said: "If you are not going to accept your fate, please come here."
"
Mu Zhenzhen said "Oh", not daring to insist on Zhang's mother Lu's order. She walked over in small clothes and bare feet. At this time, her tall body got into Zhang Yuan's bed like a kitten, and was caught by Zhang Yuan.
After hugging her, the girl said in a trembling voice: "Master, I have an exam tomorrow."
Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand to hold the plump breasts of the girl, and said: "It's not like we have a test tomorrow morning, but in the early morning of the day after tomorrow."
Mu Zhenzhen said uneasily: "Young Master, it will harm God——"
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "That's not the case. Not only will it not harm your spirit, but you will be more energetic. Don't you really think so?"
The young master was always eloquent and reasonable, and Mu Zhenzhen became silent. His body gradually became hot under the young master's caress, and gradually there was some sound in the bottom of his throat——
Zhang Yuan turned over, arrow already in the string, and leaned over the girl's ear and asked: "Zhenzhen, do you want it?"
Mu Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment, and then answered honestly: "Yeah, I think so." Moist, stretched, welcoming——
Drive straight ahead, connect branches, twist and turn, and make all the twists and turns. An enjoyable sex is the best way to relieve stress.
Zhang Yuan slept soundly that night. He woke up to the sound of the morning bell in Hangzhou the next day. When he opened his eyes, he saw Mu Zhenzhen's pair of blue eyes looking at him and said, "Master, it's still early.
Get some sleep."
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, then you accompany me."
Mu Zhenzhen felt the young master's restlessness and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, really not." He hid.
Zhang Yuan laughed out loud and said: "I'm not that ignorant. Well, I don't sleep anymore. I feel very energetic now. If I sleep again, I will be drowsy. Has the rain stopped? Very good, God."
Bless you, it won’t rain during the exam.”
Zhang Yuan got up and practiced Tai Chi twice on the bow of the boat, then moved out a small clay stove and lit a fire to cook. Mu Zhenzhen looked on with a smile and did not help -
Wang Binglin got up and came out, and said with a "ha": "Meson has started practicing, and I will come too."
Huang Zunsu, Zhang Dai and Qi Biaojia on the neighboring ship were also cooking with one stove each. They entered the provincial examination in the early morning and did not come out until early at night. It was almost a day and a night. If they only ate cold pastries and had no hot water to drink,
It will be very uncomfortable, and it will definitely affect your composition. Since stoves are allowed in the examination room, it would be better to have some hot food.
Only Ni Yuanlu thought the stove was dirty and said, "I only eat cold cakes and cold water. I have been practicing for many days."
