Chapter 285 I would rather not be an official than join in the dirty tricks!
Wang Tingshu, an officer of Jinyiwei Hundred Households, held a saber and an imperial decree in his hand, and while walking towards Wuzhong, he recited the decree of taking Wu Zhongxing.
In the academy lecture hall.
Wu Zhongxing's face sank on the spot, his cheeks clenched tightly.
"I didn't pay bribes to seek profit!"
"Your factory guard is slandering!"
Suddenly, Wu Zhongxing spoke in a deep voice.
As he spoke, Wu Zhongxing shouted louder: "Naked slander!"
For a moment, the sound shook Liang Yu.
Under the snow-covered eaves, most of the scholars standing there became serious.
Immediately, Wu Zhongxing shouted again: "This is a place where Confucianism is taught, how can you allow you to wait for Tiqi to wreak havoc!"
"Censor Yang Keli and Jiang Dongzhi's personal confessions, do you still want to quibble?"
Wang Tingshu chuckled and asked loudly.
Wu Zhongxing was startled again, and then trembled slightly, his momentum suddenly weakened.
Moreover, not long after, Wu Zhongxing collapsed on the cold ground, muttering in his mouth: "How could this be the result?"
"Mr. Fu'an!"
Seeing this, the scholar Qin Hongzhi hurriedly supported Wu Zhongxing, yelled, and glared at the Jinyi guards.
At this time, Ye Xianggao, who was about to leave, also stood still, standing under a young cypress that hadn't grown crookedly, watching this scene.
Li Tingji, who was also at Ye Xianggao's place, also looked this way, and then asked Ye Xianggao:
"Tell me, is this true? This Mr. Fu'an, a person who dared to disobey his master for the sake of Gangchang ethics, would actually use such low means to run for himself?"
"It should be true."
"Otherwise, how busy is Jin Yiwei? Instead of arresting the capital and the local authorities to impeach the eunuchs such as Zhang Jing, the admiral of the East Factory, and even scolding the bureaucrats of the factory guard, why arrest a Confucian scholar who has been exiled here?"
Ye Xianggao replied, and asked back.
Li Tingji nodded after listening.
At this time, Wang Tingshu came to the lecture hall of the academy, glanced at the articles on the case in the lecture hall, and shouted coldly: "Take Wu Zhongxing away!"
"You can't take Mr. Fu'an away!"
At this moment, Tan Hongzhi hurriedly got up and stopped in front of these Jinyi Weiti cavalry.
Then, many scholars who belonged to Wu Zhongxing's supporters came over and stopped Jin Yiwei and others.
"Yes, you Tiqi, you can't take Mr. Fu'an away!"
"You must be treacherous lackeys in the court!"
"How can you be presumptuous in a gentle place!"
……
These fans of Wu Zhongxing started cursing at Jinyi Wei Tiqi at this moment.
Wang Tingshu looked at Wu Zhongxing: "Wu Zhongxing, do you really want these people to be killed because you resisted the decree, or do you want to be punished for inciting others to resist the emperor?"
"Don't dare!"
Wu Zhongxing hurriedly shouted at this moment.
Then, he looked at these people and said: "Get out of the way! The imperial court will not take people for no reason. I did do something that violated the laws of the country."
These scholars all showed shock after hearing this.
"This is impossible!"
"How can you be such a person, sir!"
And then, Wu Zhongxing walked over in person, stretched out his hands to Wang Tingshu: "Take me away."
Therefore, Wu Zhongxing was arrested by Jin Yiwei and taken away.
"Why is this the result?!"
Seeing this, Qin Hongzhi said with a sad and indignant face.
"Didn't you say that you will be restored, and the tyrannical government will be abolished?"
"How is it worse than when Jiangling was in power?"
"When Jiangling was here in the past, we criticized Jiangling like that, and no one came to take Mr. Fu'an!"
The scholar Shen Tao also asked at this time.
Qin Hongzhi said at this time: "Mr. Fu'an took the initiative to admit the false accusation in order not to implicate us! Now the court is obviously still under the control of powerful traitors, so that Zhongliang was framed!"
It was Zhu Yijun's order that Wu Zhongxing was arrested and taken to Beijing.
Originally, these people would not have been found. After all, Wu Zhongxing and others were not in the court, but after Shen Shixing reminded them, Zhang Jing decided to pursue them strictly and dig out everything that could be dug up, as a way to completely liquidate Zhang Juzheng. The party's forces fought back.
After all, Zhang Jing's life rose in the era of Zhang Juzheng. Under the instructions of the emperor, he did a lot of things for Zhang Juzheng, which is equivalent to Feng Bao in history.
Like Wu Zhongxing, those who were arrested and taken to Beijing, as well as Zhao Yongxian and Zhu Hongmo, were all taken to Beijing one after another.
However, most of these people were officials who disobeyed Zhang Juzheng and were demoted and dismissed because of their former love and opposition to the New Deal, and because of this, they had already become famous all over the world, so when they were escorted to Beijing, they also aroused great repercussions among scholars.
Because of this, Zhang Jing was still a little jealous of the Shilin behind them, so he didn't investigate them strictly, and he didn't want to offend Shilin too much.
But after being reminded by Shen Shixing, Zhang Jing knew that if he didn't want to be liquidated because of Zhang Juzheng's liquidation, he could only join Zhang Juzheng's party and fight against the arrogance of Zhang Juzheng's party with all his strength.
Therefore, Zhang Jing didn't have any scruples anymore, and dug out Wu Zhongxing and others.
In the imperial court, there was a lot of debate about which famous portraits should be listed in Wenyuan Pavilion, and when they were busy taking the exams, the local officials and scholars had already been arrested because of Wu Zhongxing and others and started to explode.
The bureaucrats and landlords all over the world were dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng's posthumous posthumous title of Wenzheng and carried into the Taimiao. They also blamed Zhang Siwei for his inaction, and some complained that the emperor was still under Zhang Juzheng's party.
Now that Wu Zhongxing and others have been arrested instead of being recovered, this is undoubtedly another strong signal that the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng has not appeared, but Zhang Juzheng's party is intensifying the attack on his own people.
Wu Zhongxing looked at the angry scholars along the way, so instead he shouted boldly: "The sky is a lesson, I, Wu Fu'an, was relegated for keeping the system, and now I will die for keeping the system, what a blessing!"
Most of the scholars were touched when they heard Wu Zhongxing's words.
Among them, the scholar Shen Tao directly shed tears.
As a scholar from Nanzhi, he was most impressed by Wu Zhongxing's "keeping system".
After all, in Nanzhi, because of the addition of a large number of inspection departments and inspection shops in the local area, the imperial power went to the countryside and the power of the government was strengthened, so that scholars like him were far less free than before. It is no longer possible to rely on the status of a scholar to harass the post station, force the people, or manipulate words and lawsuits at will.
Not to mention the need to pay more taxes and corvee labor if the preferential exemption is cancelled.
In order to pay taxes and corvee, he had to find a way to make money, and he began to spend his spare time writing market-oriented novels that the people liked to read, and began to read while farming, instead of having to think of ways after accepting donations and postings like before. If you make money, you can get money while sitting, but you only need to travel and study freely.
"The imperial government spends too much, and the officialdom is full of corruption. They only know how to exploit the people by profiteering, so that the heavens are angry and the people complain!"
"Nowadays, even Mr. Fu'an, a benevolent man who is no longer a bureaucrat in the court, can't be tolerated!"
"In addition to those great Confucian scholars who were arrested and imprisoned before."
"I thought that after Jiangling left, the government would be peaceful and the world would be clear, but unexpectedly, after the remnants of the Zhang Party left Jiangling, it would become even worse!"
Shen Tao couldn't help but started talking, and while speaking, he looked at Tan Hongzhi and other scholars: "Are we really going to sit and wait for death?!"
After Qin Hongzhi heard this, Zi blushed and held back for a long time before saying: "I will take the test, I won't take the test!"
After Tan Hongzhi said that, he turned and left the academy.
"I don't take the exam either!"
"It's better not to be an official for life, and not to be a gangster!"
Shen Tao was stunned for a while and made this decision, and resolutely went down the mountain and left the academy, and told his servant: "We are going to hire a boat to go back to the south!"
With that said, Shen Tao turned his head to look at the other scholars.
But there were very few people who responded, and even few applauded.
Shen Tao was dumbfounded at the time, and after a while, he asked knowingly: "You still want to take the exam?"
The scholars present did not answer him.
"why is that?!"
Shen Tao questioned loudly: "The traitors in the court are harming the country and the system, and the filial and honest students have to do their jobs, and even those who can no longer study, although they dare not criticize the dragon scales and disobey power like Mr. Fu'an and others. , but don’t you even dare to give up the exam?!”
"If you don't study and become an official, how can you make the world peaceful and peaceful?"
"That's right. Retiring the exam is undoubtedly equivalent to denying the emperor and the court. This in itself violates the rules of etiquette."
"That's right, Father Jun wants to advise, and Party Zhang wants to participate, but the exam is still required."
……
At this time, these scholars started talking one after another, and they all had their own reasons for continuing to participate in the examination.
