"Zhao Jinqing!"
Seeing this, Shen Tao yelled at Zhao Bifan, staring at him like fire, "Why are you so shameless!"
"Kneeling to worship your father is just a manifestation of shame."
Zhao Bifan got up and patted the ashes on his hands, said something very calmly, and asked: "Don't you think that scholars should not kneel down to worship their father?"
Shen Tao wanted to grit his molars, but he just couldn't say any rebuttal.
Tan Hongzhi could only widen his eyes like a bull's-eye, and after a while, he asked:
"why?"
Seeing that Tan Hongzhi spoke more politely, Zhao Bifan replied seriously:
"This time, I'm taking five hundred Jinshi. Undoubtedly, I have the best chance of winning. And I've already failed three times. There are only a few years in a person's life. How can I not go?"
"Yeah, it's really a pity to miss this time, or forget it."
The scholar Zuo Jinxian also said something.
The scholar Zhu Guozuo also said at this time: "That's right, the court's conspiracy is like an order to extend favor. You can only be grateful, and you can't be dissatisfied. Otherwise, you don't know how to flatter."
"Don't know how to flatter?"
Qin Hongzhi sneered, and asked Zhu Guozuo: "Will the tyranny be ignored, the traitorous party be ignored, and Mr. Fu'an not be saved?"
Zhu Guozuo just smiled lightly, and then left the hall.
Immediately afterwards, other candidates left here.
Shen Tao looked at this scene coldly. Tan Hongzhi came here after more than half of the people left, and asked:
"what should I do now?"
Tan Hongzhi said: "Shenwu County and other treacherous parties try to use this trick to downplay Mr. Fu'an's arrest by Tiqi and the tyrannical government. It is not unwise, but it is not impossible."
"any solution?"
Shen Tao asked.
Tan Hongzhi looked at the scholars leaving downstairs one after another, and said with a sneer:
"Although the treacherous party in the court can't be dealt with now, it is still possible to deal with these cowardly people who forget their righteousness for small gains, so that the cancellation of the exam can be effective enough, and it is still possible to make the officials of the central and southern courts force the emperor!"
Shen Tao also looked at these scholars who left one after another: "It is true that they can't let them only know the law of the country, but not the words of others!"
……
"People's words are awesome, but the laws of the country cannot be desecrated!"
Zhu Yijun talked about how to deal with Wu Zhongxing and others to the ruling ministers in the political affairs hall that day.
Wu Zhongxing and others were escorted to Beijing, which eventually aroused great repercussions among the courtiers.
There were also many courtiers who pleaded for Wu Zhongxing and other superiors, and said that the country should treat Confucian officials with courtesy, otherwise they might make the people of the world.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun also formally put forward his views on the ruling minister in the political affairs hall.
"As I said, before Wanli ten years ago, the Lord Shaoguo suspected that although Mr. was loyal to the country, he was not a monarch after all, so it was inevitable for officials to be a little bit about the law and discipline; I am proud of my kindness! Therefore, I must be punished severely!"
"Although he, Wu Zhongxing, is quite popular and a well-known Confucian official, it doesn't mean he can disrupt the law."
Zhu Yijun added a few more words after speaking.
After Shen Shixing heard this, he took the lead and said: "What your majesty said is that Wu Zhongxing and others bribed the ministers of the court, disturbed the state affairs, formed a party to exploit camps, and was arrested by Jin Yiwei and brought to Beijing. This is a manifestation of clean government!"
"Nowadays, it is said that all people in the world are wronged by Wu Zhongxing, but in fact it is not people in the world, but the majority of scholars in the world, and they have manipulated the speech;"
"In my opinion, if we really want to prevent these people from manipulating speech and making the public opinion of the world into a narrow statement, we can only really instigate the people of the world to defend the New Deal and fair public opinion!"
"Go on."
Zhu Yijun nodded.
Shen Shixing bowed his hands and said yes, and said: "Wang Wencheng has worshiped the Confucian Temple, and the essence of Wang's learning is that the people's daily use is the way; the Taishi also advocates that the world is the world of the Ming people, not just the world of scholars, so we must protect the New Deal. In order to protect fair public opinion, we should not only rely on ministers and other ministers and His Majesty, but also rely on common people in the market place.”
As Shen Shixing said, he looked at Pan Sheng, Liang Menglong and the others: "Since ruling is not only about enriching the country and strengthening the army, but also benefiting the people, since the common people benefit from the imperial court, they must also take responsibility for the affairs of the imperial court and the affairs of the world. , should also be responsible!"
"So we should let the people know what the consequences will be if Wu Zhongxing and others abolish the New Deal, and organize them to defend the New Deal together!"
"Just what I want!"
"According to the remarks obtained by copying Wu Zhongxing and others, they mainly advocate the abolition of government affairs that benefit ordinary people and soldiers, and government affairs that benefit the orphans of the army."
"On the common people's side, Fu Press is responsible for protecting the New Deal."
"For the orphans of the army, Jin Yiwei is responsible for guarding the New Deal, especially Jin Yiwei's own orphans."
Zhu Yijun nodded and ordered.
Shen Shixing proposed again: "Your Majesty, the most important thing in punishing the villains among the Confucian officials is that there should be no changes in the capital and the south of the Yangtze River. It's okay to have Lord Hai in the south of the Yangtze River. Now the governors of the capital and the Governor of Jiliao are more important As for the frontier defense, since this is the case, it is better to set up another governor of the Northern Strait to be in charge of the military and civil affairs of several prefectures and counties in Kinai under the responsibility of the governors of Baoding and Shuntian, while only the governor of Jiliao is in charge of the affairs of Jizhou and Liaodong."
"At the same time, it is also the Minister of Coastal Defense in the north, and it is used to arrest thieves and manage trade at sea!"
Zhu Yijun added a sentence at this time.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
"The minister recommended the young Sima Zenggong Shengwu for this position."
"Duke Zeng is decisive in killing and attacking, he is diligent in his affairs, and he is good at organizing the people. He can do this."
Shen Shixing spoke at this time.
"allow!"
Zhu Yijun nodded.
Because the ruling ministers are all part of the emperor's party, after Zhu Yijun agreed, there was no objection.
"Zeng Que'an has always been known for his ruthlessness. How could the court let him be the governor of Beizhi? I'm afraid that the rich and powerful in the capital will be in trouble from now on!"
Not long after the imperial court issued the imperial edict to Zeng Shengwu Governor Beizhi, Wang Xijue hurriedly approached Shen Shixing to bring up the matter.
"This is the result of the agreement of the Political Affairs Hall, and no servant dares to make it arbitrarily."
Shen Shihang lied.
After hearing this, Wang Xijue didn't expose it, and only sighed: "Forget it! I said before that now we have to let those who oppose the restructuring know the pain, but Zhang Puzhou should go, right?"
"Let him go back first."
"Only Shoukui can dissuade His Majesty about the matter of the head falling to the ground!"
Shen Shixing said helplessly.
Wang Xijue nodded.
The next day.
In the middle of the matter, Shixin wrote a memorial, impeaching Zhang Siwei's corpse for a vegetarian meal, saying that he had been ill for too long, the more serious the inspection, and he was suspected of pretending to be ill to deceive the king.
It didn't take long for the cabinet to vote to fine Ye Shixin with half a year's salary, saying that it was an exaggeration.
Bang!
After Zhang Siwei found out about this, he threw a piece of porcelain he was viewing on the ground: "Shenwu County is too deceptive! It only willing to pass the knife quietly behind the back, but I have to do the killing!"
Although Zhang Siwei was furious, he returned to the imperial court and thanked the emperor for recovering from his illness, and he did not dare to resign at this time.
Zeng Xingwu and Zhai Rujing, the commander of Jin Yiwei, also began to organize officials to tell the common people and Jin Yiwei and other orphans of the pro-military guards that Wu Zhongxing and others threatened to abolish the New Deal.
It was just after the New Year's Eve in the 11th year of Wanli.
When the incident of refusal of the exam seems to have disappeared, Fu Zhicheng, Wen Jiafan, and Duan Qingshan, who were born as military orphans in Xingming Academy, are preparing to go to the capital city to find a rented inn to prepare for the exam.
But the three met a group of robbers near Xishan.
"Where are you scholars?"
The bandit leader Lu Chong asked about the three of them.
"We are from Huangzhuang Xingming Academy, don't you dare to rob?!"
At this time, Fu Zhicheng asked in a deep voice.
"The ones who hit were people from Xingming Academy!"
At this time, Shen Tao came out from a gazebo inside, held the fire, and said with a smile.
And then, he told Lu Chong: "Since they belong to Xingming Academy, they should be killed directly. There is no need to save money and let them go! According to what Mr. Fu'an said, these people will become sycophants in the future, so kill one more Xingming Academy There is only one less sycophant!"
"Take the battle!"
Fu Zhicheng yelled at this time, Wen Jiafan and Duan Qingshan hurriedly stuck to the left and right sides of Fu Zhicheng's back, and drew out the scribe sword.
Among them, Wen Jiafan also asked Shen Tao: "Your Excellency is also a Confucian scholar, why did you collude with the robbers and kill me Xingming Academy?!"
"After the emperor said that we are loyal, the eunuchs are not allowed to treat us with disrespect, and we are treated as national scholars. You are not afraid of killing us, which will hurt the face of the emperor and make Long Yan furious?!"
Shen Tao sneered coldly: "The thieves killed it, so what does it matter to us? Over the years, it is inevitable that there will be thieves in and out of the capital, especially at the end of the year."
At this time, Lu Chong also commanded seven big men under his command to kill Fu Zhicheng with simple knives.
It didn't take long to see the flashes of swords and swords. Immediately, five big men fell to the ground with their knives. The fingers of their right hands were cut off, and they cried heart-rendingly.
"They practiced the military formation!"
"Standard way of Jizhou frontier army!"
Lu Chong couldn't help but said to Shen Tao.
Shen Tao also lowered his face: "Use firecrackers! Anyway, they are going to be killed. Don't be afraid of being exposed. Afterwards, I will give you 500 taels more, so you can escape to make a living by yourself!"
"As long as you are willing to give money!"
After Lu Chong said with a smile, he turned around and took the filled firecracker hidden in the woods, lit the matchlock, and then pulled the trigger at Fu Zhicheng and the other three.
"what!"
Fu Zhicheng fell to the ground on the spot, clutching his right chest, and said loudly, "Why did you kill us?!"
"If you kneel down and beg for mercy, you won't kill!"
Shen Tao sneered.
Seeing this, Wen Jiafan and Duan Qing kept Fu Zhicheng in the middle, among them Wen Jiafan said coldly: "We were trained by His Majesty, how can we be servile and beg for mercy, you kill if you want!"
Shen Tao's face sank, he pointed at Wen Jiafan, and shouted: "Kill him first!"
After reloading the bullets, Lu Chong immediately raised the blunderbuss and pointed it at Wen Jiafan.
"stop!"
"If you really want to kill Xiaolian, the orphan of Zhonglie, you should think about your own nine clans first!"
At this time, a loud shout appeared on the hill.
Shi Shiyong, a hundred families of Jinyiwei, led a large group of Jinyiwei, and surrounded them from the mountains and forests.
