Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-One: Raise your eyebrows, when you float
The situation in the Ming Dynasty is that there has not been any major chaos in the country. After the southern tour, the thief nest in Nanzhili has also stabilized. The battle in Liaodong was victorious, and Jiannu was licking his wounds and would be unable to commit it again in the short term.
Zhu Youxiao was able to free up his hands to prepare for possible chaos in the future and take advantage of this imperial examination to clear the court.
Half a month later, a restaurant on the first floor of Chess and Card Street.
As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing was filled with people from all kinds of people coming and going every day, and the Drum Tower near Chess and Card Street was crowded from morning to night.
At this moment, what many people are discussing tirelessly has almost become a topic, namely the trial results and final disposal announced by the Ministry of Justice two days ago.
Speaking of which, this is exciting news!
According to the verification by the court, fifteen other members of the examiner, led by the chief examiner Gu Dazhang colluded with the examiner to sell the test questions in advance, which had many adverse effects on this examination and was unfair to the scholars all over the world.
In order to be fair in handling affairs, the court will eliminate all the achievements of Jinshi in this examination and formulate new test questions, and use the cabinet Grand Secretary Wei Guangwei as the chief examiner to conduct the re-examination.
The notice also mentioned the latest arrangements for the palace examination. Simply put, everything this year is different from the past. The re-examination and palace examination must be completed before the end of the year.
As soon as the news came out, the government and the country were in full swing.
A small number of Jinshi who were implicated because of this. Naturally, they complained about their true strength, but the voices of this small number of people were quickly drowned in the waves and could not affect the general trend.
When he heard that corrupt officials suffered heavy punishments and their results were invalidated in the examination, the cheering scholars gathered together for days and sang the emperor's wiseness.
Poems praising Emperor Tianqi emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain, and they could not count them. Even the common people were very happy. The capital city seemed to be celebrating festivals for several days, and laughter was everywhere.
This incident has a happy ending, which is indeed exciting.
The imperial examination case that had the widest involvement and the most far-reaching influence since the Ming Dynasty ended. Many scholars who caused trouble in advance did not expect this result, so they were naturally even more grateful and worked hard to make progress.
"good!!"
A scholar said that he rose and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise today. I see that those words that are deceived by the eunuchs are all bullshit!"
"I think so, such a saint is rare in a century! How could he be deceived by the eunuch party?" Another scholar was drunk, his face flushed, and he stood up shakingly and said:
"Have you heard of it? Except for the chief examiner and the examiner, there are as many as twenty-seven or eight other officials who have been tracked down!"
"If it weren't for Your Majesty's wiseness, how could I have such pleasure today!"
"Will these people beheaded together?" someone asked in a low voice, looking a little timid.
Someone quickly replied: "Beheading will not be done, but he will be dismissed, and they should be dismissed! Never use it, some people will be even more exiled to the frontier!"
A scholar in blue clothes stood up, raised his wine glass, and said with a smile:
"Today we are proud. Everyone, drink this cup full of money. In one month, we will definitely get high school and serve the Lord of the Holy and Ming Dynasty!"
"Okay! Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live Your Majesty!!"
The scholars still looked like they were talking nonsense, but the topic changed and their mentality changed.
Now they are all full of energy, thinking about entering the court and becoming officials, doing some real things, and even chanting poems and essays reflects this.
In the afternoon, there were more people on Chess and Card Street.
Many people support the elderly and young, ride horses and ride sedan chairs, and walk in groups of three or five, all of them walk south with great enthusiasm.
Three burly outsiders were having dinner together, not knowing what happened. While wondering, they grabbed one of them and asked:
"What are you doing?"
The man looked like a servant from a restaurant and was not weak, but the man outside the border was very strong and could not take off his body as if he was caught by a pliers.
The servant immediately jumped up in a hurry and turned around and cursed, "You have something wrong with it... Don't drag me, if you go too late, you won't be able to occupy the space!"
The outsider smiled and did not let go. He asked Youran: "Then you go back to me first, what are you doing in a hurry?"
The servant struggled, and saw the abortion rushing past him, and turned around and said with a hatred: "Look at the behead!"
"Ah, who should I kill?" The outsider was shocked and subconsciously let go.
The servant didn't respond, and ran away with his legs. In the blink of an eye, he got into the crowd and couldn't find him.
"Zaisai, who are you going to kill? There is such a big stir. I'm afraid that everyone here will have many troops to watch the show!"
Another foreigner on the table laughed: "These Ming people are really good at watching the fun and killing people. Is that the case?"
Zaisai was the outsider who had just caught the servant. He shook his head and smiled, looked at the sky, and suddenly said, "The Emperor of Ming Dynasty summoned us to Beijing. It's still early anyway, so let's go and have a look."
"For such a big noise, I'm afraid the person who wants to kill has an extraordinary status!"
The other two people sitting in a small teahouse with Zai Sai were Yongshebu, the leader of the three major divisions of Urianha, and Yier Deng, the lord of the Taining Wei tribes.
The two looked at each other, and Yier Deng spread his hands to show that it doesn't matter. Yong Xiebu, who had just spoken, laughed:
"It's good that way. Anyway, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has a lot of trouble every day, so he's waiting if he's gone early."
Before the three of them came out, they had left all the guards in the inn where they lived. Since their ideas were settled, they walked in all directions and followed the flow of people to the south.
Soon, they saw the execution platform.
There were many taverns and restaurants rising and falling around the platform. The three of them found a tavern to prepare for wine. As soon as they entered the door, they were startled by the lively atmosphere inside.
A group of scholars in long garments sat by the door, talking and laughing, and their voices were brighter than the other. To the eyes of the three, they seemed like crazy.
Have the Ming literati always been so brave?
The three of them had just settled down and Yun Wuse, who was sitting around Huanghua Hall, raised his wine glass and said loudly:
"The examiner recognizes power and wealth, but he does not recognize people. He knows money and articles, which leads to many talented people being disappointed for life!"
"Fortunately, the net of heaven is vast and sparse but not leaking!"
"The poor people in the world are proud today!" Another person raised his glass and shouted loudly. Such a high atmosphere scared the three of them again.
"When it's a big white!" An unknown scholar also raised his glass and shouted.
The scholars were in the middle of policies, and they had new opportunities for this retest of the meeting, so they naturally felt the most deeply.
Although the other pedestrians and the people were not as excited as them, they were also chatting, and the sound of slapping the table and pushing the cups was endless.
In the small tavern, there were usually so many people. The discussions and shouts shook the roof beams, which surprised Zaisai, Yongxibu, Yier Deng.
