After Yang Jing was expelled from the Imperial College and returned home, he followed the advice of his colleagues and told his father and elder brother to ask the government to explain to the Imperial College that he had been unjustly imprisoned.
But how could Father Yang and Young Master Yang do such a thing, otherwise they would not have thrown Young Master Yang into prison for so long without looking for connections to release him, and it was Mrs. Yang who gave him money every month.
Not only that, they also advised the second young master to find another academy to study in accordance with the punishment of the Imperial College, and then take the assessment to be promoted to a higher grade, obtain a recommendation letter, and then return to the Imperial College.
"But I was wrongly accused." Young Master Yang roared angrily at his father and brother, "I was wrongly accused by Chen Danzhu."
Young Master Yang couldn't help but roar: "This is the crux of the matter. Since you, many people have been wronged by Chen Danzhu. No one can do anything about it. The government doesn't care, and the emperor also protects her."
Mrs. Yang, who had always doted on Yang Jing, also grabbed his arm and cried: "Jing'er, you don't know how many evil things Chen Danzhu has done. You can't mess with her anymore, and you can't let others know about you and her."
She has something to do with her, and if someone from the government finds out about it, it will be terrible if you try to please her again."
Yang Jing really didn't know what happened during these days. Wu Du had changed to a new world, and everyone he saw and heard was unfamiliar.
When he walked into Taixue, he saw not many people he knew.
He knew that his past affairs had been exposed, after all, he was now at the feet of the Emperor, but he did not expect that Chen Danzhu had not been exposed yet.
Yang Jing asked the servants at home to tell everything about Chen Danzhu. After listening, he calmed down and did not ask his father and eldest brother to go to the government again, but he was also desperate.
Chen Danzhu, who rose to prominence by betraying the King of Wu, could be said to be lawless. He was weak and could do nothing.
He wanted to leave the capital to fight against the king and serve the king, but——
"Except for the old ministers who followed you, all other officials around the king are appointed by the court. The king has no authority." Young Master Yang said, "So even if you want to serve the king, you must first have a letter of recommendation before you can become an official."
The world has really changed.
Yang Jing was desperate and angry. The world had become like this, and what was the meaning of his life? He stood by the Qinhuai River several times, wanting to jump in and end his life——
But, alas, I really can’t bear to see evil people roam free in the world.
Just when he was lost and trapped, he suddenly received a letter. The letter was thrown in from the window. He was drinking and drunk at the time, so he didn't see clearly who it was. The letter told him something, saying:
Mr. Yang, you were kicked out of the Imperial College because of Chen Danzhu, a noble scholar. However, the great Confucian scholar Xu Luozhi, in order to please Chen Danzhu, admitted a child from a poor family to the Imperial College. Mr. Yang, do you know who this child from a poor family is?
Yang Jing took the letter and felt cold all over after reading it.
This boy from a poor family was a handsome man whom Chen Danzhu had spotted on the street and snatched back to raise.
It's enough to be lawless and tyrannical. Now even the saint's sect has been defiled by Chen Danzhu. Even if he died, he could not let Chen Danzhu defile the Confucian sect. He died to clear the name of the Confucian sage, which was a worthy death.
Yang Jing was very calm, burned the letter, and began to investigate carefully. Sure enough, he learned that Chen Danzhu had robbed a beautiful scholar on the street more than two months ago——
He went to the Imperial Academy by looking for his fellow disciples, and found out that Xu Jijiu had recently accepted a new student. He treated him warmly and taught him personally.
It's just that this new student often hides in the school building and rarely interacts with the supervisors. Only a few close disciples of Xu Jijiu have talked with him. According to them, he came from a poor background.
But since he was in the Imperial College and the Imperial College was not a big place, Yang Jing still had the opportunity to meet this scholar. He was not as beautiful as a fairy, but he was very charming.
Yang Jing also remembered that when he was kicked out of the Imperial College that day, he went to see Xu Jijiu, but Xu Jijiu didn't see him. He wandered outside the door and saw Xu Jijiu running out to greet a scholar, like that
Enthusiasm, flattery, flattery - this is the person!
Yang Jing did not rush into the hall to question Xu Luozhi, but continued to stare at the scholar. This scholar had been hiding in the Imperial College. His hard work paid off, and he finally arrived today.
He watched the scholar walk out of the Imperial College, meet a woman, take the things the woman gave him, and then watched the woman leave——
Even if the woman turned into ashes, Yang Jing would recognize her as the maid of Chen, Dan, and Zhu——!
Yang Jing clenched his hands, his nails pricked his palms, raised his head and let out a silent, sad and indignant smile, then straightened his hat and robes and strode into the Imperial College in the cold wind.
"Xu Luozhi - you are morally corrupt - you are clinging to flattery - you are polite and corrupt - you have gained a false reputation - you have no face to claim to be a descendant of a saint!"
A group of people quickly gathered around the small Imperial College. They were dumbfounded looking at the scholar standing in front of the school hall with his head raised and cursing. How dare you scold Mr. Xu like this?
Not to mention Mr. Xu’s status, but Mr. Xu’s character and knowledge, everyone in Daxia praised him and admired him wholeheartedly.
Is this scholar crazy?
Someone recognized Yang Jing and was shocked and helpless. They thought that Yang Jing was really crazy. Because he was kicked out of the Imperial College, he had a grudge and came here to cause trouble.
Xu Luozhi came over soon, and the teaching assistants also found out Yang Jing's identity and guessed the reason why he was swearing here.
"Yang Jing, as an imperial student, you have been convicted of a crime, and it is the national law to deprive you of the recommendation letter." An assistant teacher yelled angrily, "You are so crazy that you came to humiliate our Imperial College. Someone, come, take him down, and send him to prison."
Go to the government and be charged with insulting the sacred learning!"
There were guards in the Imperial College, and when he heard the order, he immediately stepped forward. Yang Jing pulled off his hat and let his hair fall, pointed the hairpin at himself, and shouted, "Who dares to touch me!"
This student is really crazy! People around him couldn't help but retreat, and the busboy looked at the assistant in a bit embarrassed manner.
"Yang Jing." Xu Luozhi stopped the angry teaching assistant and said calmly, "Your case file was sent by the government. If you have any grievances, go to the government to complain. If they change the sentence, you can come back to express your innocence. Your crime
I wasn't the one who rebelled. You were expelled from the Imperial College because of the law. Why did you come and speak dirty words to me?"
Yang Jing held the hairpin and smiled sadly and indignantly: "Mr. Xu, you don't have to be so high-sounding in what you told me. You're expelling me because of the law. What kind of law is it for you to admit the children of the common people to school?"
There is an unbridgeable gap between the status of nobles and common people. In addition to marriage, it is also reflected in official careers. Zhongzheng is in charge of the selection and recommendation of officials in the imperial court. The Imperial College has stricter requirements for family background and grade recommendation.
It is indeed difficult for children of common people to enter school.
However, it is not so absolute. If a disciple has great talent and is favored by a Confucian master, he will also make exceptions. This is not incredible.
Especially for a great Confucian of Xu Luozhi's status, they can completely decide which disciples they want to accept.
This Yang Jing is really jealous and crazy, talking nonsense.
People around him shook their heads with contempt.
Xu Luozhi was even too lazy to pay attention. Why should a person like him be afraid of being scolded by others? He came out to ask a question out of pity for this young student. Since this student did not deserve mercy, that was all.
He said coldly: "I make the decision on my own knowledge." After saying that, he turned to leave.
Yang Jing sneered from behind: "Is your knowledge just about groveling and flattering a woman and accepting her lover as a disciple?"
What? Woman? Lover? The onlookers around were stunned again. Xu Luozhi also stopped and frowned: "Yang Jing, what are you talking about?"
But Yang Jing stopped talking and just said: "You guys come with me." After that, he rushed towards the back of the school hall.
The assistant teacher wanted to stop him, but Xu Luozhi stopped him: "Let's see what he is going to do." He followed him in person, and the onlookers immediately cheered and swarmed around him.
Yang Jing rushed to the prisoner's residence at the back and kicked open the door he had identified long ago.
The scholar who was reading in the door was startled. He looked at the disheveled scholar and asked quickly: "You——"
Before he finished speaking, the crazy scholar saw the small box he placed on his desk and rushed over to grab it like crazy, laughing wildly, "Ha, ha, Zhang Yao, what do you think this is?"
Zhang Yao stood up and looked at this mad man, and then at the crowd of people outside the door. Xu Luozhi was among them, looking confused.
"This is," he said, "a food box."
Is this supervisor going crazy with hunger?
Yang Jing shouted: "Don't try to avoid the important and take the easy. I'm asking you, who gave this to you!"
Hearing this sentence, Zhang Yao seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed slightly, he opened his mouth and said nothing.
Xu Luozhi looked at his expression and frowned slightly: "Zhang Yao, is there anything you can't say?"
Zhang Yao hesitated: "No, this is -"
Yang Jing shouted: "Tell me, who is it? Who is she? You swear to the sage not to tell a lie!"
Zhang Yao sighed softly in his heart, probably understanding what was going to happen, and his expression returned to calm.
"This is a friend of mine." He said calmly, "——Chen Danzhu gave it to me."
Chen Danzhu——
When the people crowded outside the door heard the name, they immediately cheered.
