Mr. Song was full of uprightness and said with awe-inspiring righteousness: "Father, everyone in the clan is opposed to my heirship. If we force the plan, something unbearable may happen. For the sake of family harmony, I would rather give up the position of comfort envoy."
"Confused!"
Song Jian suddenly became furious and cursed on the spot: "You nerd!"
"You are the legitimate eldest grandson. It's okay for Song Ran to have a son. He is already sixty years old and has only given birth to a daughter. The position of Guizhou Xuanwei Envoy and the position of the Song clan leader are all related to emotion, reason and law. It’s up to you to inherit!”
"As long as you have a normal mind and don't say such nonsense. With your status and my strength, who would dare to object to your heirship? Not even Song Ran will object!"
"What about you? You're so stupid from reading! You're thinking about articles to educate people all day long, and you're also planning to use family property to set up social schools. If you use everyone's money, who will support you?"
"You still dare to contradict Song Ran in person. He is your uncle and the head of the Song family. You are just contradicting him. Your brain will be kicked by a donkey!"
Shen Fucong felt sweat dripping from his forehead when he heard this. Han people are very particular about not publicizing family scandals. How could anyone scold their son in public like this?
What's even more frightening is that the words are also mixed with family fighting, and they are talking about seeking the throne from beginning to end.
There are strangers in the room!
Seeing that Master Shen was acting like a quail, Song Jian sneered: "Don't be afraid. Everyone in Guizhou City knows that I want my son to inherit the title of Xuanwei. What can I kill you to silence?"
Shen Fucong wiped his sweat and said: "Song Ma Tou misunderstood. I was just anxious and upset just because the weather was too hot, and I didn't have any other ideas."
"You are weak and useless," Song Jian became more and more contemptuous of Master Shen. He pointed at Wang Yuan and said, "You are worse than a little kid. At a young age, he knows how to sow discord, and now he is calm and leisurely. This is what he said. Someone who can do great things!"
"Ashamed." Master Shen could only smile in apology.
When his good friend was looked down upon, Mr. Song couldn't help but contradict him: "Father, Brother Shen is full of knowledge and is truly a rare talent. How can you be so scornful?"
The way Song Ji looked at people made Song Jian so angry that he put his head on his forehead and sighed: "How come I, Song Jian, have been famous all my life but gave birth to a confused son like you?"
Although Mr. Song was full of slander, he could only accept the punishment honestly.
Master Shen felt even more guilty and did not dare to listen any more. He bowed and said, "Song Ma Tou, I am worried, so I resigned first."
Mr. Song was very considerate and kindly pointed the way: "Brother Shen, the toilet is over there."
"Well……"
Master Shen didn't know how to answer the question, so he could only say with a grimace: "Thank you, Brother Song, for reminding me."
Song Jian was so angry that his son burst out of his lungs. He suddenly got angry and hit his head hard: "Toilet, toilet, toilet, do you really think he went to the toilet? I should have thrown you into the toilet and drowned you!"
Mr. Song was knocked dizzy, but he still did not forget to observe etiquette: "Father's orders cannot be violated. Even if my father drowned me, my son would not complain at all."
Heaven!
This wooden head!
This useless thing!
Song Jian was about to cry. He wanted to run to the toilet and drown himself.
At this moment, Wang Yuan suddenly raised his hand and said: "Song Ma Tou, please don't mention the engagement again. I have no interest in Song Ma Tou's position."
Song Jian was already full of anger. When he heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, do you want to die? How shameless!"
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Song Ma Tou is so short-sighted. Can a grandson-in-law compare to a high official in the court?"
Song Jian sneered: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Wang Yuan said: "I want to take part in the imperial examination. One day, I will be a Jinshi in high school and become an official in the court. If I can speak for the Song family, it will have more weight, right?"
"You are really dreaming, is it so easy to pass the Jinshi exam?" Song Jian burst into laughter, "From the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, I can count the number of Jinshis born in Guizhou!"
This statement is wrong and must be slapped four times.
From Hongwu to the first year of Zhengde, in more than 100 years, there were a total of 19 Jinshi in Guizhou, with an average of one every seven years.
Jiangxi only had 31 Jinshi last year. Guizhou will catch up with the number of Jinshi in Jiangxi last year if it saves for a few more decades. The gap in the imperial examination is not very big.
Wang Yuan asked back: "Song Ma Tou, there are so few Jinshi in Guizhou, is it because Guizhou people are more stupid?"
"Of course not." Song Jian would not admit that he was stupid.
Wang Yuan pointed at Mr. Shen: "I heard from Mr. Guizhou that the imperial examination in Guizhou is not effective, firstly because of the style of study, and secondly because of academics. There are not many civilian children in Guizhou studying, and the imperial examination ink scrolls are twenty years behind Jiangnan. Unless you are extremely talented, How can I pass the Jinshi exam?"
Song Jian was no longer angry and said with a smile: "Then you are gifted?"
Master Shen did not succeed in urinary escape. At this moment, he said quickly: "Brother Yuan is indeed extremely talented. I have never seen a scholar like him in Jiangnan."
"I don't dare take it," Wang Yuan said with cupped hands, "I'm just a little smarter than others. If I were allowed to study with peace of mind in the Song family, I guarantee that I can pass the exam. If the Song family supports me to study in other provinces, I will be a Jinshi. It’s a shame. Since I have received financial support from the Song family, why can’t I repay it with all my heart?”
Song Jian had already understood and said with emotion: "You are very careful in your calculations. It has not worked at all, but you just want me to support you. Alas, you are so cunning and shameless, how can you not be my son?" "
Mr. Song lowered his head and looked at his feet, remaining silent.
Wang Yuan accepted the other party's compliments and said: "It doesn't matter if you give all your support, that little money is just a drop in the bucket for Song Matou. Why don't you use this drop in the bucket to make a bet on me?"
Song Jian shook his head and said: "Even if you become a Jinshi, I don't know when you will be able to enter the court. Even if you enter the court, you don't know if your words will be able to carry weight. Even if you become the elder, I'm afraid it will be long ago." Forgot the kindness of the Song family."
"Why not give it a try?" Wang Yuan said with a smile, "If Song Ma Tou is afraid that I will be ungrateful, Chuanqing Village is under the jurisdiction of the Song family. Why not reduce the tax of Chuanqing Village by half to make the boy more grateful. If something happens one day, Just double the tax on Chuanqing Village, how can you ignore the elders in the village?"
"What a good boy, you are so cruel that you actually took the entire Chuanqing Village hostage!"
Song Jian burst out laughing: "Although it's all nonsense, it doesn't matter if I believe you once. But I am the chief of Guizhu Division, and Chuanqing Village is not within my jurisdiction. Let alone tax exemptions and exemptions in the village, I can I’ll give you ten cattle for your village.”
Wang Yuan cupped his hands and said: "Song Ma Tou is so kind, people in Chuanqing will definitely remember it in their hearts."
Song Jian ignored Wang Yuan and turned to his son: "Don't you want to set up a social school? It just so happens that the new deputy academic official Xi Shu also wants to set up a social school. Take your brother Shen and go there. Please contact Mr. Xi Haosheng."
"Thank you father, you finally agreed to set up a social school." Mr. Song was ecstatic.
"Running a social school is not the key point," Song Jian said to Mr. Shen. "This Mr. Xi is cautious and does not want to have close friendship with the local chieftains. All the people I sent were rejected. Mr. Shen, you are an outsider, maybe you can talk to Mr. Shen." He is very close."
This falls within Master Shen's business scope, and he quickly asked: "I wonder what Song Ma Tou's orders are?"
Song Jian warned: "I am just a small chieftain of Guizhu, and I cannot contact the central government. I have already inquired, and this Master Xi is from the same hometown of Sichuan as the great scholar Yang Tinghe. And Yang Tinghe is the imperial master, so he will probably be the emperor's master in the future. To join the cabinet, you should try your best to curry favor with Xi Shu and see if you can get through Yang Tinghe's relationship. At the critical moment, you may be able to speak for my son as the successor to the throne."
"I understand." Master Shen was also very happy. He might be able to ride on Yang Tinghe's coattails.
Song Jian added: "If things work out, you will benefit a lot. If Mr. Xi wants anything, you can find out. I have plenty of money. It doesn't matter if he likes beauties. I will try my best to collect them to make him happy and satisfied." "
After some conversation, it was revealed that Song Jian, Wang Yuan and Shen Fucong were all scheming. Only Mr. Song was excited about establishing social schools widely.
…
Song Ran and An Guirong were jointly opposing the establishment of a social school and wanted to get rid of the governor of Guizhou. However, Song Jian went behind the back of the patriarch Song Ran and secretly contacted Xi Shu, intending to support the proposal of establishing a social school.
The conflict between the Song family has obviously reached a fever pitch.
And Wang Yuan made a plan to instigate rebellion in the territory under the An family, just to attract Song Jian's attention. He also took some tuition fees from Song Jian, and even paid for the study tour expenses after passing the imperial examination, and also paid for the trip to Qingzhai. Earned ten cattle out of thin air.
In addition, Yuan Gang wanted to send his two sons to participate in the martial arts examination, but because they were not from a military household, he had to hook up with Song Jian and recommend them in the name of chieftain. Only Yuan Er and Yuan San were qualified to participate in the martial arts examination.
As for repaying kindness, haha, it’s a matter of the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse, so what if I say a few words to the Song family?
Master Shen is not familiar with the place in Guizhou, and he is eager to find someone to rely on. Mr. Song is obviously not a good match, and Song Jian is the tough guy. Now he can really get in touch with the deputy academic officer of Guizhou, and he is also connected to the great scholar Yang Tinghe behind his back. .
Simply perfect!
The above is the intention of all parties.
Our Mr. Song is really not suitable to be the head of the Song family. Three people around him can play him to death.
After the Song family father and son left the study, Master Shen blamed Wang Yuan: "How can you tell me how to instigate rebellion? If it gets bigger, it will affect the Ming Dynasty!"
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "I have finally understood it these days. Emperor Taizu's arrangement for Guizhou is to let the Song family and the An family check and balance each other. Now that the Song family is getting weaker and weaker, how can it check and balance the An family? It is better to provoke the An family. The rebellion in the jurisdiction will weaken the two families together. This is the long-term solution to stabilize Guizhou, and it will also be good for us in Qingzhai."
If An Guirong hears Wang Yuan's plan, he will definitely become a confidant.
Because the An family had secretly taken action, while uniting with the Song family to deal with the governor of Guizhou, they also incited the Miao people in the Song family's jurisdiction to rebel. Once successful, the Song family would decline, the governor would be dismissed, and the An family would become the dominant family in Guizhou from then on.
An Guirong is the real Lao Yinbi.
It's a pity that his son is a mentally retarded person. When he is drunk, he takes pleasure in killing people. He even kills his personal followers. Sooner or later, he will kill himself.
In comparison, Song Jian should feel relieved, at least Mr. Song is still a normal human being.
