In the Hanyuan Palace, there was silence for a short time. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Emperor Yongzhi was on the chair behind the bookcase, looking at the ministers in front of him, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

The decision of the Son of Heaven was beyond everyone's expectations.

Scholar Xie, Scholar He, Yin Peng and others are all masters who have fought all the way in the political arena, and they have not been distracted for a long time. Scholar Xie, Scholar He, and Yin Peng bowed down to receive the order, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Obviously, someone must have swayed the Son of Heaven's opinion. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for the Son of Heaven to issue a thorough investigation the day before yesterday and change his mind today. Combined with Jia Huan's background, the answer is imminent. Jia Guifei!

Scholar Xie's heart sank. Did he underestimate the little girl in the palace? For Scholar Xie, Jia Yuanchun, who is only twenty years old, can only be regarded as a granddaughter. She actually has such a means, such a situation can be said to move the Son of Heaven?

He has been striving for it, but in the face of the general trend, he knows that the probability of changing the outcome is not large. Now, the situation has reversed, and his heart is slightly warm. He is very optimistic about Jia Huan. No, Xie Xuan said that the teacher-student relationship, Xie Yushi is just a fame and fortune in flattery. He is the material chosen for the country. Jia Huan's ability to govern affairs: the flood in western Beijing, the reform of the salt law in Yangzhou, the disaster relief in Huaiyang, and the grain case in Jinling. Can he spare no talent?

And Zuodu Yushi Yin Peng's heart was not only shocked at this time, but also shocked. Jia Huan proposed to participate in the palace examination, why did he deliberately bring it up in front of the Son of Heaven? You know, according to the procedure, he can directly veto.

In addition to his appreciation for Jia Huan, it was also because last night, the newly appointed Hubu Shangshu, the same year of the year, and his friend Wei Hong, came to visit him. It's about Jia Huan's case. Wei Hong hoped that he would help Jia Huan say something in the palace exam.

He said. And the effect turned out to be unexpected.

There is no doubt that Jia Huan and the forces behind him did not stand still, but made a targeted counterattack. Jia Guifei said that the Son of Heaven was moved.

Mao Kun was a little stunned. He was still thinking about getting that young man into the North Town Fusi, how to concoct it, and make sure that the kid spoke. As a result, now the Son of Heaven actually allows Jia Huan to participate in the palace examination? Isn't that obvious what that means?

He remembered that his subordinates reported on Jia Huan's activities in the past two days. went to the Jia family's ethnology, and then went to the February Inn to meet his two friends, Gongsun Liang and Luo Xiangyang. Then he stayed in Jiafu. Can you turn the tide of things like that?

In this, there must be details that Jinyiwei did not notice.

Emperor Yongzhi said again: "Some small matters today will be handled by Xie Qing." Mao Kun stays, you all go. ”

After several ministers said goodbye and went out, Emperor Yongzhi instructed his confidants and generals to "go and check the rumors about this imperial examination in the capital." ”

Mao Kun hurriedly received the order: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

…

…

On the afternoon of February 22, when the "melon-eating masses" were still waiting for time to pass slowly, waiting to watch a "big show", an unexpected news came out from Xiyuan: the Son of Heaven allowed Jia Huan to participate in tomorrow's palace examination.

The people in the capital who paid attention to the fraud case of the Yimao Imperial Examination were all confused. How so? The high-tide is coming, the flashpoint is coming, but it's not what they expected.

If it is said that the Son of Heaven ordered the examination of Fang Wang and Jia Huan and the thorough investigation of the fraud case, it is a signal that he will be severely punished. Then, this news is a clear statement: Jia Huan will not be affected by the fraud case. Otherwise, what other temple exams will you take?

It is logical that Jia Huan is fine, and Fang Wang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is fine. Sect Master Fang didn't, then Peng Shilang might have something to do.

This plot reversal.... It's like a twelve-level storm, and the people who are still talking about it and talking about the so-called "general trend" will be dizzy. I don't know why. The so-called "surging crowd" situation was poured down like a basin of cold water on the head, and the temperature dropped rapidly. Emperor Yongzhi has spent thirteen years proving that whoever dares to fight against him and makes him unhappy for a while, he will make whoever is unhappy for the rest of his life. In the early years of his ascension to the throne, there were many ministers who raided their homes and killed their heads and were exiled.

As soon as the Son of Heaven Chrysostom opened, a large number of "cannonballs" were prepared, and the officials who were ready to reap the benefits began to turn around and rethink their positions and positions. Predictably, there will be a lot of rewriting tonight.

The situation has developed towards a very favorable situation for Jia Huan and Fang Wang.

…

…

The sun is crumbling in the sky. In the cell in the Metropolitan Courtyard, Jia sat on the old straw with his knees crossed, leaning against the wall, watching the light in the cell dim and darken.

This is the cell for the minister of prison in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. With Jia Huan's identity, it would have been impossible to get such a generous treatment. But Yin Dazhongcheng's bias can be seen by the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The place of arrangement is not bad.

There was silence all around. Iron bars are tightly locked, and the small cells restrict freedom.

Jia Huan was still waiting quietly. What needs to be done, he has already done it, and now he is waiting for the results. As the saying goes, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. As it turned out, it was difficult for him to pack the ticket. This is also the reason why he didn't give Daddy Zheng a word last night.

The sky is not high, but the heart is the highest. At that time, when he got the result, where did he dare to say the word "it's okay"?

Of course, some people don't think that the script has to go in the direction they set. It's so beautiful!

A person is locked in an empty cell, this small world, suffocating and uncomfortable. Jia Huan also has a lot of negative emotions in his heart: remorse, self-blame, resentment, fear, worry, etc. It's just that it's pressed with a strong will. The will he honed from his life, and the teachings and influences of his father since he was a child, made him not a person who gave in easily.

Jia Huan looked at the environment of the cell again. A few years ago, he taught Xue Pan a lesson, but he went to the cell in Dali Temple. I didn't expect him to come in now. Suddenly, I remembered a few ancient texts: Zhong Yi gentleman, enter the prisoner of Nanguan; Ji Sun pedestrians, staying in the West River Museum.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan smiled bitterly. Prepare for the worst and strive for the best. I hope that Senior Brother, Luo Junzi, and Wei Shentong can give a little bit of strength. Now GG, it's really not the result he wants.

The sound of footsteps came from the distance, and after a while, I saw the head of the cell and a small official walking over quickly, and the little official said with a smile: "Jia Xiaolian, Dazhong Cheng invites you to go out and talk." ”

Jia Huan was stunned. Arraignment overnight? Immediately, he reacted suddenly. There is a rough speculation in mind. Follow the little official to the public house of Yu Shi Yin Peng in the left capital. The room was lit with a lamp, and Yin Peng was waiting behind the public case.

Yin Peng looked Jia Huan up and down for a while: a very young face, wearing a square scarf on his head, wearing a light blue straight jacket, a very standard reading attire. Looking vibrant, heroic, and calm.

Can you believe that such a young man has the means to influence the decision of the Son of Heaven? Sure enough, it is the country with talents!

Yin Peng smiled approvingly and said, "Jia Ziyu, the Son of Heaven has decreed that you will be allowed to participate in tomorrow's palace examination." Go back to your home and get ready for tomorrow's exams. The fraud case has not yet been closed, and you need to be on hand with the summons. ”

A big stone pressed by Jia Huan in his heart finally landed, and then, a joyful emotion rushed to his brain from the bottom of his heart. He let out a long breath and said, "Xie Dazhong takes care of it!" ”

Yin Peng smiled and waved his hand, and said softly, "Go ahead." "The words circulating in the capital are really not bragging: magnificent, talented; Calm temperament and resourcefulness.

…

…

Jia Huan came out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and when he went out, he saw Gongsun Liang, Luo Xiangyang, Wei Yang, Liu Yichen, Zhang Sishui, Shangguan Chang, Shi Fu, Zhu Hongfei and others outside the door.

"Senior Brother Jia!" Gongsun Liang couldn't suppress the joy in his heart anymore, stepped forward, and patted Jia Huan's shoulder vigorously, "It's okay." It's okay. In his heart, he always regarded the young Jia Huan as his younger brother.

Looking at Jia Huan, who was stained with grass clippings on his head, Luo Xiangyang grinned, and suddenly wanted to cry. This time, the situation is really dangerous. Rumors arose, and the situation abruptly changed. It is entirely true, people sit at home, and evil comes from heaven.

Shangguan Chang was more lively, and said with a smile: "Ziyu, you are a day trip to the Metropolitan Procuratorate!" Just come out. ”

Jia Huan was a little surprised.

Gongsun Liang explained: "Brother Shangguan, Brother Shi and Brother Zhu helped to say among the scholars that Zhao Xingchen was jealous of you because of his grievances with your family, so he spread rumors and slandered you. ”

Shi Fu snorted and said coolly: "Zhao Xingchen, who is a dog, will walk before trying to fight dogs, visit Qinglou, drink flower wine, and he still has the face to say that you cheat." He'll try the 300th place, if he doesn't cheat, I'll take his last name. ”

"Haha." Everyone laughed at this.

Zhu Hongfei said bluntly: "Friend Jia's temperament is not a cheating person at first glance, those villains are resentful and jealous. "He has a relationship with Jia Huan in Dongzhuang Town. His temperament is as jealous as hatred. I heard that Gongsun Liang, Luo Xiangyang and others were revealing the truth of the matter, and the rumors against Jia Huan were: Zhao Xingchen, the son of the Marquis of Ruyang, spread rumors based on personal grievances and took the initiative to help.

Jia Huan bowed and said gratefully: "Thank you gentlemen for your help." In the next inscription sense five. ”

At the same time, a trace of shame for the senior brother rose in his heart. Because, he just guessed that Zhao Yu and Zhao Xingchen, Marquis of Ruyang, did not play a good role in this incident (of course, this guess is the truth of the facts, and Jia Huan does not know yet). And the senior brother was convinced of his words.

Actually, it's just a tactic of struggle.

It is very important to know on what grounds the scholars went to the Ministry of Rites to sue him.

If it is because of questioning the level of his articles, this is a normal process for the scholars in the capital, the Ministry of Rites, and the people in the court. Everyone is suspicious of you, so look it up.

And if it is the Jia family's opponents, Ruyang Hou and Zhao Xingchen, who use this matter to spread rumors, "make waves", and strike at the enemy, this is another sense. The most obvious example is that the fallen scholars who followed Wang Ying will think that they are being used.

In general, the feeling is: you can insult my personality, but you can't insult my intelligence.

Jia Huan entrusted Senior Brother and Luo Junzi to spread the news among the scholars, exposing Zhao Xingchen's hypocritical appearance, and at the same time, preventing people from preparing to go to the Ministry of Rites to petition, demanding a thorough investigation of whether Zhao Xingchen's examination was fraudulent. Create an atmosphere of partisan strife (I haven't had time to go to the Ministry of Rites yet, and the rumors made up by Jia Huan will take a few days to brew).

For the normal method of struggle, it should be that the rumors are fermented first, and then the official figures cooperate and instigate, and then rise to the temple princes and the Son of Heaven. The operation against Jia Huan planned by the prince is a perfect embodiment.

However, Jia Huan had a way to quickly spread the words to the ears of the Son of Heaven.

Jia Huan was in the family study, so he asked Jia Qiang to bring a letter to Jia Rong, and asked Jia Rong to send a message to Yuan Chun in the palace, and speak in front of the emperor, no need to say anything else, only to say: The Marquis of Ruyang has an old grudge against my family and framed my younger brother.

From the perspective of the Son of Heaven, he does not care who is right and who is wrong, but only the result. At the same time, each Son of Heaven has its own political characteristics.

For example: Emperor Chongzhen, he was very disgusted with courtiers forming a party. Wen Tiren, a weak courtier at that time, took advantage of this to kill his powerful opponent, Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party. The specific process can be seen in the history of the Ming Dynasty, which can be called a first-class means of power.

Another example: Chenghua Tianzi, he doesn't like people to make trouble, he likes to be an otaku. His principle is: whoever makes trouble, he will clean him up. Right or wrong, who cares?

In such a high-level political struggle, Fang Wang, the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was involved, and the decisive role was not how many courtiers were on the bullet seal, nor was it the general trend, justice, and justice. Neither! Neither!

The decisive role is played by the views of the Son of Heaven.

Jia Huan has never been in contact with Emperor Yongzhi, but strong emperors usually have one characteristic: they definitely don't like to be used as a gunman.

Marquis Ruyang, is he qualified to use the Son of Heaven as a gunman? The answer is self-explanatory. Jia Huan asked Jia Yuanchun to pass on such a message to the Son of Heaven: Oh, someone is walking you like a monkey.

Therefore, Emperor Yongzhi will change his mind and allow him to participate in the palace examination.

Of course, Jin Shang is not a faint king, if Jia Huan and Fang Wang's fraud are really found, they will definitely be severely punished to set an example. However, who are Jia Huan and Fang Wang? It's all old fritters, how can they mess up? Coupled with the sloppy questioning of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the result of the interrogation was that the two did not collude and were innocent. Of course, that's an afterthought.

…

…

At sunset, the group walked out of the alley where the yamen of the Ministry of Rites was located. The atmosphere was joyful, happy and enthusiastic.

Wei Yang looked back and said with a smile: "Ziyu, there is a new poem, and I write about the depression in my heart at this time." "Wei Hong's side, naturally Wei Yang said it. Liu Yichen and Zhang Sishui knew the address of the Wei Mansion.

Jia Huan exhaled lightly, pointed to a pine tree on the side of the road and said: "I only got two sentences: the twilight is vast and pine, and the chaotic clouds are still calm." ”

The turmoil before the temple test was unexpected. However, he can understand the urgency of someone to suppress him.

In life, no one is born with the aura of the protagonist! Are you only allowed to design others, and you are not allowed to use intrigues against you? If there is, it's just fiction.

A person's real strength does not lie in his exhaustive calculation, but in the fact that he can correct his mistakes and will not make them a second time. In his battle of gods and the battle of the four crossings of Chishui, the chairman misjudged and misjudged several times, but this did not affect the glory of the four crossings of Chishui and did not damage the chairman's name as a military strategist.

A person's real strength does not lie in his ability to avoid and avoid wind and rain, open guns and hidden arrows, but in his ability to absorb nutrients from wind and rain and swords, grow from a small tree to a towering tree, and let you wind and rain without falling down.

Of course, these are all chicken soup and some feelings, and Jia Huan's thoughts in his heart now are still very direct: His Royal Highness the Prince, we'll see you after the palace test.

Zi said: Repay virtue with virtue, and report straight with straight.

If you have revenge, you will not take revenge, and you are not a gentleman!
