162 The Storm
Chapter 162 The storm begins
There were still crowds outside the tribute court, and the noisy noise never stopped, and the candidates who looked at the list were still in a constant stream.
However, these candidates basically failed.
Because those who have won the list will definitely call their friends to celebrate after reading the list. Even if they have something to do and don’t come, someone will go to report the good news to get some good money.
There are many people doing such work in the capital. Whether it is the imperial examination or the provincial examination, people will go from street to street to inquire about the residences of all the candidates. Once the results are released, these people will also go the earliest.
They earn this money, and the news is the most informative. If the candidate wins and does not come, they will soon know that the team of good news that the red-colored and gongs and drums will appear at the residence of the candidates on the list in the shortest time. That congratulations can at least get a few taels of silver.
After all, these candidates are all Juren. Juren can earn dozens of taels of silver a year by relying on the reduction of land taxes.
If you are a little smart, marry a few concubines from a wealthy family, or take care of a few wealthy merchants, the money will be even more rumbling.
Moreover, these people come late are basically rich people. The later they come, the richer they are. Some people even like the lively scene of congratulations.
After all, he would be happy to see it himself or send his subordinates to see it. It would be impossible for this lively scene created by the team of good news, and there would be no crowds of people surrounding him and envious eyes.
Of course, this is what you say. These are basically what you want to be happy. Those who fail will feel uncomfortable.
Outside the Gongyuan, there were already sighs, a bunch of bitter faces, and even silently shed tears.
At this moment, Wu Kongjia held the portrait of Saint Kong, took Li Jiantai, Zhang Douyao and others to the bottom of the list, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet, listen to my words."
Uh, what does this guy want to do?
The soldiers guarding the Shenwu Camp under the list were confused.
Why is this guy running here with a portrait?
There are dead people in the family!
Why are you here for someone dead in your family?
Well, these are all martial artists who don’t know a single word for Dou. Guan Erye and the others may recognize them, but Confucius and the others really don’t recognize them.
However, the candidates present are different.
Some candidates even vaguely guessed what this guy wanted to do next as soon as they saw the portrait of Saint Kong. Some candidates with ulterior motives even stood up immediately to help him maintain order.
After a while, the outside of the Gongyuan became quiet.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Kongjia said with anger: "I believe everyone knows that there are big problems in this test question. There are several questions that are even deviant and are not learned by us scholars."
At this moment, most of the candidates who failed the exam were candidates, and most of them were eager for quick success and instant benefits, because those who were determined to serve the country almost all went to the Ministry of Works to register.
These candidates who failed the exam were feeling depressed.
After ten years of hard study, several more years, more than ten or even decades of hard work, this ending is what it takes. Why?
Why did we fail?
Anyone like this basically won’t look for his own reasons, they are looking for other people’s reasons in their hearts.
What's more, there are indeed problems with this test question, and many people are in a state of fire.
Wu Kongjia's words immediately ignited their inner anger.
Many people responded angrily: "Yes, how can people answer such a rebellious question?"
Wu Kongjia looked at the effect, nodded secretly, and then shouted loudly: "This exam is so unfair, what will happen in the future? We cannot let those rebellious people steal from the court. We can't just let it go. Let's go with me and go to the Ministry of Rites for complaints!"
Yes, we can't just let it go!
We must make trouble, if things get big, the emperor has to surrender.
At this time, many people who were eager for quick success and instant benefits thought of the Hongwu Dynasty's North and South list case. In the end, the Hongwu Emperor surrendered and took the exam again. Moreover, the students on the list were all the troubled Northern students!
Can the current emperor still be better than the Hongwu Emperor?
So what if another case on the North and South list comes out?
We won’t make a fuss, it’s over this time. We will make things bigger and we will likely be on the list!
Why not make trouble?
Wu Kongjia responded to this cry, and there were as many as five or six hundred people following him to the Ministry of Rites!
Damn, these people want to make trouble!
The soldiers of the Shenwu Camp who were guarding the list finally understood. The guy held the portrait and turned out to be trying to take the lead in causing trouble!
The problem is that they don’t have the power to deal with these juren, so they can only report it quickly.
Now, the capital was in trouble again. From the Gongyuan to the ritual office, the more people were watching the fun, and more and more people gathered, and more and more candidates followed Wu Kongjia.
When this group arrived at the Ministry of Rites, there were as many as seven or eight hundred candidates following Wu Kongjia, and countless people were watching the fun.
Wu Kongjia came to the gate of the Ministry of Rites, held the portrait of Saint Kong and knelt directly on the ground, then shouted loudly: "The test of the society is unfair, please be fair!"
Li Jiantai, Zhang Douyao and others immediately knelt down, took out the prepared letter, and shouted loudly: "The test is unfair, please be fair!"
Seeing this, the candidates behind him also knelt down and shouted loudly: "The test is unfair, please be fair!"
Da Zongbo is a respectful title for the Minister of Rites, because the Minister of Rites is in charge of rituals, sacrifices, imperial examinations and other affairs.
At this moment, Zhang Ruitu, the Minister of Rites, was also a eunuch. He had already received the hint from Wei Zhongxian and had to help Wu Kongjia and others make the matter a big deal!
The students shouted for a while, and then hurriedly walked out to cooperate.
He pretended to be shocked at first, and then gave a big gift to the portrait of Saint Kong. Then he took the complaint from Li Jiantai, Zhang Douyao and others, pretended to be selfless and said: "I have accepted the complaint. I will report this matter as appropriate. You can go back first."
It is naturally impossible to go back.
Wu Kongjia pretended to be sad and angry and said, "Sir, you also know the hardships of scholars. Ten years of hard work are nothing. I believe you have a deep understanding of the hardships on the road to the exam. We have come to the exam thousands of miles away. When we encounter such injustice, how can we go back? If the court does not deal with those who are favoritism and fraud, we will not go back!"
The stupid cannon fodder behind him roared angrily: "Yes, if the court does not deal with those favoritism and fraud, we will not go back!"
For a moment, the crowd was excited and very lively.
OK, you play your role, I play your role.
Zhang Ruitu pretended to sigh, then took the letter and entered the Ministry of Rites' yamen, while Wu Kongjia and others sat down neatly in the square in front of the Ministry of Rites' yamen.
Immediately afterwards, the memorial from the Ministry of Rites was quickly handed over, and the six ministries followed immediately, and the inspector and the Censor of the Censorate was even more popular.
This is nothing. Wu Kongjia, Li Jiantai, Zhang Douyao and others said they would not leave, but they instigated the cannon fodder who had been foolishly following him to run around the capital, shouting for justice along the street, blocking officials' sedan chairs, and slandering Xu Guangqi, Bi Maokang and others.
At this moment, rumors were flying all over the capital.
Some people say that the deputy examiner took money from some candidates and used his power for personal gain.
Some people say that the deputy examiner deliberately asked some rebellious questions, which made other students unable to answer, so as to help their relatives and friends make the list.
Some people even say that Xu Guangqi and Bi Maokang are two treacherous ministers who deceive their subordinates and conceal their superiors and specifically fool the emperor!
When Taichang received the news, Long Yan couldn't help but be furious.
Wei Zhongxian, are you looking for death?
I originally wanted you to live a few more days, but you were so anxious to reincarnate!
