Jia Huan's letter soon arrived at Wendao Academy, inviting the senior brothers Sun Liang and Luo Junzi to come to the capital to prepare to see off the president. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the same time, Jia Huan contacted Ji Ming, who lived in the Yangzhou Huitong Pavilion in the capital. Ji Ming was originally a student of Wendao Academy, and he also contributed to the flood in the ninth year of Yongzhi. However, after he became a prodigy, he left the academy like a prodigy. In the same year, he was lifted with Jia Huan, Gongsun Liang, and Luo Xiangyang, and resumed contact.

…

At about noon, Zhang Fuzhong, Pang Ze woke up with a hangover, and drank tea and chatted with He staff in the wing.

Today, the position of the mountain chief as the left deputy capital of the imperial history has been stabilized. Their staff members are also much more relaxed.

The mountain chief re-emerged in the winter of the ninth year of Yongzhi, and served as the governor of Shuntian as the left deputy capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and was promoted to the right deputy capital of the imperial history in ten years, and the left deputy capital of the imperial history in the eleventh year.

In less than three years, he was promoted two levels, and the speed of promotion was not fast in the country. But in the context of the triennial exam, the speed is also quite impressive. Therefore, a solid position is the key.

He staff said: "Shiyuan, do you think Luo Jiaolang can come out this time?" ”

Luo Hong has a very poisonous mouth in the academy and is extremely arrogant. Therefore, after the mountain chief handed over the academy to Ye Hongyun to be in charge, he went to Shoushan Academy angrily. But to say that looking at Luo Hong's bad luck, they are still a little sad in the academy.

Pang Ze shook his head, "It's hard." He stood at the front of the team with Han Jin that day. It would be a good result to be able to fight for a small official to be relegated to a marginal area. ”

From ancient times to the present, there have been many scholars who have been demoted to petty officials. For example: Tang Bohu, who was very famous in the former Ming Dynasty, was demoted to a petty official because of the imperial examination fraud case, but Tang Bohu resigned and did not do it.

Speaking of Han Jin, Pang Ze had a little contempt on his face, this kid is not kind! He knew very well: Jia Huan, Luo Junzi, and Zhang Sishui saved Han Jin's life that day. There's nothing wrong with going up, but you can't go without a bottom line, right?

Staff He nodded.

…

At noon, Jia Huan entertained Qiao Rusong, Wei Yang, Zhang Sishui, and Liu Yichen to have lunch together. Return to the backyard after dinner. He was going to go out.

Wei Shentong helped to top the clan study for a while, and now that Qiao Rusong is free, he will also go home to study.

"Ziyu, you also have to quickly recruit a tutor to sit in the hall. In this way, there is continuity in the lessons. Good for the children of your family. ”

Thinking of what Prodigy Wei said when he was drinking, Jia Huan smiled. He never did the recruitment of a tutor. The students of the college are all teenagers and young people, and they are high-spirited and have their own future and goals. Coming to substitute teach is to give him face, which is temporary.

If you want to find a tutor who has been sitting in the hall for a long time, he has to put up a notice seriously.

Back in the back room, Ruyi was doing needlework, the little white tooth in his mouth was biting the thread, and when he saw Jia Huan coming in, he first sniffed and sniffed, and then laughed happily, looking delicate and soft, "Third master, you haven't drunk." ”

Jia Huan gently pinched her white face and said with a smile: "They are all classmates of my academy, just mean it." I've got some errands to do in the afternoon. What about Qingwen? ”

Ruyi smiled softly and said, "Sister Qingwen went to the door." ”

Jia Huan nodded, said a few words of laughter with Ruyi, and asked Ruyi to help him take out the landscape painting of Tang Bohu.

When he was about to go out, he came from outside to inform that Mr. Longjiang's housekeeper Xu was visiting. Jia Huan saw Steward Xu and learned that it was Mr. Longjiang who invited him to go to Goolan Hutong to have a drink.

The Hutong of the Division, the Hutong of Goolan and the Hutong of Yanle are all the boundaries of the Department of Education. Mr. Long Jiang is a leading figure in the Qinglou industry in the capital, and it is normal for him to appear in the Teaching Workshop Division. But unusually, it's a bit weird to drink in the afternoon at the Workshop Division.

Impure people understand that the time is not right.

Jia Huan pondered for a while, put aside the matter of going to meet Grandmaster Fang for a while, and followed Steward Xu to the mansion of Xiaoxue, a famous prostitute in Goolan Hutong, to meet Mr. Longjiang.

In the evening, Jia Huan came out of Goolan Hutong with a calm face, and turned to Fang Wang's house in a carriage.

In the elegant courtyard house, Mr. Long Jiang, a handsome old man in his early forties, hugged the petite beauty Xiaoxue and drank. The beauty is in his arms, but he still doesn't belong in his mind.

Thinking about the secret conversation with Jia Huan just now.

"Ziyu, if you are willing to help, I owe Ziyu a big favor."

"I'll try. I don't know if it can be done. ”

…

Jia Huan, as Fang Wang's proud protégé, went straight inside after arriving at Fang Mansion. At night, the scholars and literati who were still waiting in the gatehouse for the master to summon them were a little curious. As for the dissatisfaction, of course, it is pressed in the heart.

"Who is this boy? How can you get in directly? ”

"Maybe it's Grandmaster Fang's junior disciple! Alas, I've been waiting for almost 3 hours. ”

"What is this? I once went to Xie Xiang's house, and I waited all day without waiting for the opportunity to visit. ”

"Hey, don't guess. The one just now is the world's famous prodigy, Jia Huan. He was a protégé of Grandmaster Fang. ”

"No wonder." A group of people suddenly.

Jia Huan, under the leadership of the housekeeper of the Fang Mansion, waited in a side hall for about half an hour. Although he said that he could enter the Fang Mansion. But if you want to see each other, you have to talk about each other's time.

Half an hour later, Jia Huan was taken to a bright hall. Outside the hall, staff and servants waited. Jia Huan followed the housekeeper into the hall and saw an old man in his fifties drinking tea, with a thin face and simple clothes.

Fang Wang smiled kindly and said, "Ziyu is here." Sit. ”

Jia Huan saluted: "I've seen the teacher." Sit down, chat with Fang Wang, and explain what he meant, "I heard that the teacher is about to leave the capital and return to Jinling in the near future. The day before yesterday, I received a landscape painting of Tang Bohu and gave it to the teacher for tasting. ”

Fang Wang has lived in Jinling for a long time, a place where the humanities in the south of the Yangtze River gather, and likes calligraphy and painting, so he suddenly became interested, "Oh? Did the painting bring? Show it to the old man. ”

Jia Huan asked people to take the scroll he brought as a gift and spread it out on the table in the Ming Hall.

Fang Wang immediately stepped forward to appreciate the calligraphy and painting, with an intoxicated look on his face, and praised in his mouth, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he smiled happily: "Ziyu has a heart!" ”

Jia Huan smiled and said a few words modestly. Seeing that the gifts were in place and the atmosphere was appropriate, he put forward his true intentions, "This time, the students of Guozi Jian and the scholars of Shoushan Academy - please ask for their lives, and the edict is to only punish the scholars who are the head." Mr. Luo, who taught me the Book of Poetry, is now behind bars. The disciple had the heart to help him find a better ending.

The imperial court's punishment of scholars is nothing more than a strict discipline and a deterrent to the young. If these young scholars could be given a chance to make amends, wouldn't it be more reflective of the benevolence of the Sacred Heart? I think they should be willing to write a confession to their father. ”

Jia Huan's speech was a little twisted. The main thing is to explain the reasons and the methods of persuading the emperor clearly. When Fang Wang left the capital, with his "status in the rivers and lakes", he was definitely qualified to meet the emperor and say goodbye. Jia Huan hoped that Mr. Fang could help say something.

Fang Wang is a great master in the literary world, and no matter how much Jia Huan speaks, he can understand it. After thinking about it, he said with a smile: "Ziyu is really a person who respects his teacher. I will help you to mention the holy premise, but the result depends on the holy judgment. ”

Respect the teacher's students, he naturally likes it very much. That Mr. Luo only taught Jia Huan's poetry, and now he is in trouble. Jia Huan will help, and he is Jia Huan's teacher, and this relationship is stronger.

Jia Huan hurriedly got up and thanked, "Teacher Xie." ”

Fang Wang smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay for me." I'm about to leave the capital. The political situation has nothing to do with me. He also reminded: "If you write a book of confession, your reputation in Shilin will not be good." It is expected that the career will be difficult. ”

Now in the eleventh year of the Imperial Pole, he was 41 years old. The prime of life is in the prime of life. These people will definitely not be promoted in the Yongzhi Dynasty. Even the road to the imperial examination was particularly difficult. Don't think that if the township test is famous, the examiner will not be able to dethrone a certain scholar's paper.

Jia Huan sighed and said, "It's better than dying in a foreign country." ”

Fang Wang nodded slightly.

…

On May 13, the literary grandmaster Fang Wang resigned in Xiyuan. Later, news came out that the Holy Lord, in order to show his heart of leniency for scholars, allowed the 16 people who were guilty of their crimes to confess their mistakes in writing, so as to alleviate their crimes.

On the morning of 14 May, four university scholars and 16 military aircraft Zhang Jing of the Military Aircraft Department saw six letters of confession.

Liu Feibai, a scholar of Wenhuadian University and the third in seniority, flipped through the list, looked at the list, and shook his head with a smile, "It's been in vain that Fang Fengjiu's hard work in front of the saint has been wasted." ”

He Shuo, a scholar of Jianji Hall and the second in seniority, drank tea calmly. He looked down on these six scholars who wrote confessions. Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!

Wu Yingdian University Scholar, Han Run, who was the fourth in seniority, smiled, and looked at the foreman of the Military Aircraft Minister, Xie Xuan, the University Scholar of the Middle Pole Palace, "What does Xie Xiang think?" ”

Xie Xuan said lightly: "The saint is benevolent, and the crime of a scholar who is willing to admit his mistake will be reduced by three degrees." The rest will be handed over to the department for investigation. ”

When the head of the court is sneered, the final word is made. The military aircraft Zhang Jing immediately got busy and wrote down the processing plan. In the afternoon, the punishment for the confessed soldier was out: eighty rods, acquittal.

and the remaining ten were deprived of their fame and exiled for three thousand miles; or be demoted to a small official in a remote area, and will not be allowed to return to the Central Plains for life.

…

In the faint sunset, in front of the Criminal Department, Luo Hong and Liu Guoshan, who had been scolded by the cane for eighty, were released on the spot. Liu Guoshan's family and old servants had already received the letter and sent a carriage to greet him.

On the other side, Luo Hong's situation was much more bleak, so he was picked up by an old servant in a carriage.

Liu Guoshan asked the two little servants to carry Luo Hong, and bowed his hand to Luo Hong on the sliding rod, with a look on his face for the rest of his life: "Mr. Luo, there will be a period later." ”

Luo Hong nodded, and sat in the carriage that came to pick him up in silence. The carriage trail reached the Zhang Mansion in Yongfang.

Jia Huan, Gongsun Liang, Luo Xiangyang, Qiao Rusong, Pang Ze, Ji Ming, Wei Yang, Xu Yinglang, Zhang Sishui, Liu Yichen and others were all in the living room.

Luo Hong's beating was just a façade. Jia Huan had already asked Master Zuo to dredge up the relationship with the silver.

Arriving at the mountain chief's mansion, Luo Hong understood in his heart, and after walking in, he looked ashamed. He's a little shameless. Because he was dissatisfied with the mountain chief's handing over the academy to Ye Hongyun, he ran away angrily and went to Shoushan Academy.

Mountain Chief Zhang Anbo sat in the middle and said generously: "Just come out." You go with Bo Miao to wash up first. We've got you covered. ”

Luo Hong lowered his head, and suddenly wanted to cry, "Hmm." "The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place. He endured a lot of hardships in the prison of the Criminal Department during this time. To be accepted by the mountain chief again made him feel grateful.

Looking at Luo Jiaolang's back, Pang Ze felt a little emotional. Luo Jiaolang's arrogant temperament is afraid that it will change. I don't know if the poisonous tongue can't be changed.

Thinking about it, he looked at Jia Huan with admiration. Jia Huan was talking to his senior brother Gongsun Liang. Senior Brother, Luo Junzi, and Xu Yinglang arrived a few days ago, and they saw off the master together, and Fang Wang, the great master of the literary world.

He also told He Staff two days ago that it was very difficult to rescue Luo Jiaolang, but he didn't expect Jia Huan to take Fang Wang's route, combined with a set of rhetoric, and moved the emperor. Now he has seized the throne and ascended the throne, and he is extremely strict with his subordinates, but he likes to show benevolence.

Jia Huan is now more and more mature in officialdom! (To be continued.) )
