Chapter 437: The undercurrent is surging
There are still a few days before the temple test. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Compared with the general examination, the palace examination is not much pressure for Chinese-style lifting people. After all, the palace examination will no longer dethrone candidates, it is only a ranking exam. If you have to say that there is pressure, there is also one point: at that time, Chinese-style people will have to write articles under the noses of the emperor and the princes of the temple, and those with poor psychological quality may not be able to write things.
Jia Huan had nothing to worry about about his mental quality, but a few days before the exam, he still carefully studied the recent imperial court newspaper at home--looking for his father. The Son of Heaven is a strategist. The temple examination has two policy questions.
Although Hui Yuan will not fall out of the top ten, he still has to fight for it if he can compete for the top in advance.
You know, there is also a difference between the top 10. Sanding Jia, you can directly become Hanlin. The next seven participated in the selection of the museum. And the Gurgis only has a three-year term, and if the development is not good, he will have to leave the Hanlin Academy.
Moreover, in the Sanding Jia, the champion is directly awarded from the Hanlin Academy of the six grades, and the Bangyan and Tanhua are the editors of the seven grades.
At this stage, any advantage in the starting line (opening) is what Jia Huan needs.
When Jia Huan buried his head in the newspaper at home, guessed questions before the exam, and copied the questions, the undercurrent under the lake became more and more turbulent. Like a bloodthirsty beast, it is about to show its sharp, hideous fangs.
…
…
After the first month, it is the Ministry of Rites exam. Recently, the Son of Yongzhi has been in the imperial city and has not gone to live in his favorite Daming Palace.
On the evening of the 18th, after Emperor Yongzhi finished handling government affairs in the Wenhua Palace, he took the chief eunuch Xu Yan to the residence of Wu Guifei in Jingren Palace. A group of eunuchs and palace maids followed.
In the harem of Emperor Yongzhi, the most favored at this time was Concubine Jia Guifei. Previously, the late queens, Zhou Guifei and Wu Guifei, who gave birth to King Yan, were favored respectively. However, the emperor will not go to Concubine Jia's Fengzao Palace every day.
In Jingren Palace, Wu Guifei and others greeted Emperor Yongzhi. After the ceremony, Wu Guifei smiled and chanted with Emperor Yongzhi in front of the palace bookcase to write and paint.
Wu Guifei was only in her twenties at this time, with a satin-like green silk pulled into a beautiful bun, her face was like jade, her facial features were delicate like carvings, and she was wearing a blue and white gown and long skirt. There is an elegant bookish air on his body. A beautiful woman with outstanding elegance.
No wonder he was favored by Emperor Yongzhi before Jia Yuanchun.
The bright beauty smiled in front of Yan Yan, Emperor Yongzhi was tired for a day, and suddenly felt in a very good mood, so he drew two strokes casually and chatted with Wu Guifei.
Wu Guifei replied while studying ink, and suddenly smiled, and said, "The concubine has a happy event, and I forgot to tell Your Majesty." Yuan Jiahuan is the younger brother of Yuan Chun's sister. I heard that she was overjoyed a few days ago and went back with a lot of rewards. Alas..., my younger brother's education is not half that of Jia Huiyuan. I want to ask Your Majesty to reward him with a champion, but he doesn't have a chance. ”
Emperor Yongzhi is a middle-aged man of forty-three, pampered all the year round, white and fat, at this time he raised his head and laughed, and then, doting on Wu Guifei's thin waist, said: "When the younger brother of the concubine becomes a Chinese-style lifter, I will make him the champion..."
Wu Guifei hurriedly smiled and said, "The concubine is just a joke. The National Talent Ceremony, how can I put my beak..."
After Wu Guifei gave Jia Yuanchun eye medicine, she immediately coquettishly fell into the arms of the Son of Heaven.
Emperor Yongzhi coaxed Wu Guifei, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
The most favored concubine in the palace, there is an uncle who works in the military aircraft department in the outer court, and there is a younger brother of the champion....
…
…
The night shrouded the sky, like thick ink.
In the inner city of the capital, the Duchayuan Mountain - the home of Zhao Junbo, the head of the West Road. It was the dead of night, and the lights were still on in the study.
Zhao Junbo is writing the recital of tomorrow's dynasty without adding dots. This is an impeachment letter from the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Fang Wang and his disciple Jia Huan privately teaching and leaking the exam questions.
The more I wrote, the more excited I became.
He once served as the county magistrate of Wanping County, Jingshi, and Jia Huan was the county test boy he had hand-picked. He is familiar with Jia Huan's teacher Zhang Anbo, with Jia Huan's old friend Mr. Longjiang, and with Rongguofu.
However, this is not a reason to stop him from impeaching Fang Wang and Jia Huan. He was able to go from an inconspicuous imperial history to a celebrity who "responds to a hundred calls" in today's science and technology, relying on the impeachment of the bigwigs. In the past two or three years, there have been many nobles and civil officials who have fallen under his playing.
This is his way of being an official.
Don't look at him now, he is just the imperial history of the seventh grade. But the impact is great. Moreover, when the term of office expires, the official is often promoted to the seventh level.
After a long time, after writing the recital, Zhao Junbo dried his ink and smiled on his face. As soon as this performance was played, it was another merit of his.
I couldn't help but think of what De Yin Yanxin, the right envoy of the Zhan Mansion, said to him after the dispersal of the dynasty today: "Brother Zhao has the hope of a clear stream and is a square person, can he endure such dirty and dirty things?" How can such a thing as leaking questions be tolerated by the National Talent Ceremony? There was Tang Bohu in the previous Ming Dynasty, and Yin Jian was not far away. ”
Zhao Junbo smiled.
The official position of the Zhan Mansion in this dynasty was used to confess the promotion of ministers, but at the same time, it was also responsible for the education of the crown prince.
Tang Bohu's fraud case in the imperial examination..., is it just to depose a Nanzhili Xie Yuan, a talented man? followed the resignation, but there is also a right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Cheng Minzheng, who is expected to enter the cabinet.
Of course, no matter what the bigwigs think and how they arrange it, he just needs to get his "benefits".
Imperial history, you can hear about it. Not to mention, today there have been dozens of fallen scholars who have come to the Ministry of Rites to ask for an explanation.
…
…
On the morning of March 19, the Son of Heaven and the princes of the temple were discussing in the Wenhua Palace, and Zhao Junbo, the head of the Shan-Xidao Imperial History, impeached the Shangshu Fang of the Ministry of Rites on the spot, and asked the imperial court to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Although Fang Wang said that he was a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, his main duty was to repair books, and he usually did not participate in the deliberations in the Wenhua Palace. On the contrary, it is mostly in the Hanlin Temple. Instead of Fang Wanglai, the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites and Peng Shi'e, the head of the Hanlin Academy, were on the agenda.
The main owner is not there, and Zhao Junbo's impeachment seems to be a shot in the air, but who are the people who are discussing in the Wenhua Palace?
University scholars, Jiuqing, squires of various ministries, science and Taoist officials, super nobles with real power, and Hanlin ministers. Almost instantly, everyone realized that a storm was coming. Many people are in their hearts.
Zhao Junbo is a well-known "cannon" in the DPRK. Whenever he makes an impeachment, he must set off a "huge wave". As an imperial historian without factions, he is often pushed to the front line of the open struggle by all parties, as a wind direction and signal of public opinion.
In the Wenhua Palace, people from all sides suddenly quarreled and debated. Zhao Yushi is an anecdote, and there is no evidence. The examiner who was present at the examination, Mr. Liu Daxue, said that he did not know that there was a leak of questions. Opinions on whether to check or not to check are deadlocked.
Emperor Yongzhi did not express his position on the spot, but said "I know", and the chapter was left in the middle of the book.
Staying in the middle and not sending it means leaving the music in the palace, not responding and not dealing with it. This is a unique miracle that belongs to the emperor. It can be an attitude of consent or it can be an attitude of disagreement. It depends on the ministers' speculation about the emperor's intentions. As the saying goes, the use of wonder, in one mind!
Emperor Yongzhi has been on the throne for thirteen years, and playing this hand is very slippery.
After the dispersal of the court that morning, the news came out, and China and foreign countries were shaken.
…
…
Coming out of the Wenhua Palace, King Shui Rong of Beijing was full of anxiety, and he was not in a hurry to discuss something with the first-class Bo Niu Jizong, Wang Ziteng and others. Everyone is watching, and you need to avoid suspicion. Who dares to openly form a gang? Even if it is a recognized faction, it is necessary to avoid it.
When he got out of Donghua Gate, Shui Rong called one of his long-term followers, and said in a hurried tone: "You go to the General Administration Department to inform the political master of Jiafu that Zhao Junbo, the head of the mountain-West Dao, will impeach Jia Huanhui and try to collude with Grandmaster Fang." Just go. ”
"Yes, lord." The chief replied and ran away.
Shui Rong stood by the carriage, looking at the back of his long entourage, his brows furrowed. Jia Huan and Jia Ziyu are not only the Jia family, but also the four families of Jia Shi and Wang Xue, and their four kings and eight princes, the noble faction and group, are also very happy to see Jia Huan win the champion. It is true that Jia Huan took the civil official route, but his surname is Jia. That's enough.
However, now, someone wants to cut off his career - the Tang Bohu imperial examination fraud case in the Ming Dynasty, how can the water prince not know? Obviously, as long as it is verified, or even verified, as long as the imperial court deals with it according to this line of thought, Jia Huan's career in this life will be ruined. Relegated to a remote area to be a small official, with the stigma of fraud, what future does the career have?
Shui Rong said a few words to Jia Huan in the Wenhua Hall just now, but in the matter of the imperial examination, the Xungui Group has limited right to speak. A word to Song Tianguan of the Ministry of Officials choked back: "For the matter of the name of the department, it is good for Your Excellency to avoid opening your mouth." ”
…
…
Returning to the palace along the road in the palace, Wang Ziteng's expression was calm, but his heart was heavy.
He told his wife at home that Jia Huan couldn't win the class. This triggered a series of misjudgments in the four families of Jia Shi Wang Xue, and the next morning, he slapped Jia Huan's results (Huiyuan) in the face. It's shameless.
He did make a deal with Scholar Xie on Jia Huan's future. Let the newly "subdued" Hanlin Academy attendant talk about Cai Yi's promotion to the day of the official.
However, however, this does not mean that he is willing to see Jia Huan, who has become a Huiyuan, cut off his career, and he cannot tolerate others attacking Jia Huan so wantonly. Who among the officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not know that Jia Huan was his nephew?
However, the situation in front of us is indeed chaotic and hazy. Who is instructing Zhao Junbo to come forward to impeach?
The prince flipped through the official documents on the official case in the room, picked up a book of notes, and went to the room of the scholar Xie in the Wenyuan Pavilion to the west.
Wenyuan Pavilion is located at the north end of the courtyard of the Military Aircraft Department, with doors and windows facing south, the width of five bays, and six public houses in between. The sunny one, the one with the best light, is the room of the imperial court foreman and the minister of military aircraft, the first to thank the scholars.
The Zhongshu people outside made a report, Xie Xuan let the prince in, didn't say anything to say hello, waved his hand, and said indifferently: "This matter is not the old man's doing." "It's true that he wants to suppress Jia Huan, but if someone else passes the exam based on his ability, he won't slander him. has been in charge of the imperial center for thirteen years, and he still has this political style.
As the chief assistant of the imperial court, he faced his subordinates and spoke out. Extraordinary magnanimity.
The prince was stunned, then smiled bitterly and saluted, "Thank you." Although Scholar Xie was excluded, the pressure in his heart suddenly increased again. The unknown is often fearful. Zhangjing, a military machine from the nine provinces of Yipin, is far from being fearless of factional struggles.
Scholar Xie said again: "Let me leave the chapter here." ”
The prince nodded and left. The mood is heavy. His nephew offended Scholar Xie because of the matter of the Chen family in Jinling, and he wanted to ask Scholar Xie for help, but he couldn't speak. It seems that he will have to suffer this loss.
…
…
The news of such a "vigorous" in the Wenhua Hall spread all over the court and outside the court in a very short period of time: the Military Aircraft Department, the Six Ministries and Five Temples, the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, the General Administration Department, the Hanlin Academy, the Guozijian, the Six Branches, the Shuntian Mansion and other Beijing officials, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the Beijing Camp, and the princes and nobles, and there were many discussions.
There are those who ridicule and abuse, those who are worried, and those who are suspicious of good things. In this political turmoil that is about to start and is temporarily obscure, there is no doubt that there are two people who are the storm points: Fang Wang and Jia Huan.
The left waiter of the Ministry of Rites and Peng Shi'e, the head of the Hanlin Academy, returned to the Ministry of Rites in a sedan chair, his expression was as calm as water.
Lang Zhong, Wai Lang, and the director who were familiar with each other came to inquire about the news, and Peng Shilang sent them back, saying, "Our Ministry of Rites is presiding over the examination, and it should be reviewed by us." But he didn't interrogate the reason of his own book. You wait for the results of the Imperial Court's disposition. ”
Such fair words made the officials of the Ministry of Rites extinguish no matter what kind of thoughts they had.
In the afternoon, an old official ran in in with a panicked look and reported: "Master Peng, there are hundreds of fallen scholars outside. If you want to ask for an explanation about the cheating. ”
Peng Shi'e said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of system is it to be so flustered? He got up and said, "Let's go." ”
The old clerk was a little confused. Yesterday there were dozens of fallen scholars, and he quietly came to tell them. Master Peng is gone. Why did hundreds of fallen scholars come today, but Master Peng didn't hesitate to go outside?
Really, don't you have to push it to Zhu Langzhong like yesterday?
