Zhu Youzhen handed the article in his left hand to the supervisor Liu Yourong and said, "Go and call these people in and let me meet them." ”

Liu Yourong had been carefully observing the emperor's actions in checking the articles, and he found one thing, none of the articles of the superintendent of the Reckless Hall were placed on the left hand of the emperor, but the articles of the three halls of justice, Chongzhi, and Guangye were the most placed on the left hand.

"Is this your majesty's dissatisfaction with the previous education of the Guozijian?" Even Liu Yourong, who has no scheming, has such feelings at this moment.

Since the emperor was dissatisfied with the education of Guozijian, Liu Yourong became more cautious, after all, the biggest official of Guozijian now, that is, he was the prisoner, if the emperor questioned him, he would be responsible for the sacrificial wine and the priest who were transferred before.

Liu Yourong took the article in Chongzhen's hand in a restrained manner, and stepped back step by step, he was restless, and he almost fell down the stairs when he was backwards, but fortunately, someone helped him on the side.

After Liu Yourong walked out of Biyong with a few Dr. Guozijian, he hurriedly flipped through the name of the article in his hand, and divided the article into four parts, and he called the doctors of the three halls of justice, Chongzhi, and Guangye and said: "You each go back to the hall and call out the prisoners who wrote these articles, Your Majesty will summon them, and I will inform the other prisoners in the hall myself." ”

After writing the essay as the emperor had requested, as the doctor collected the essay and left, the inmates in the halls finally began to relax, and they began to gather around to discuss their own essays and guess whose words the emperor would like.

In the hall of spontaneity, the 39 inmates were divided into three distinct circles. There were four or five prisoners surrounding Lu Wanling, and sitting opposite him were a dozen tribute students and prisoners around Qian Jiazheng. In addition, the largest group of tribute students and prison students were far away from these two small groups with a bit of tension, and sat in groups of three or five at the back of the school.

Sun Boyang, who has always been good friends with Qian Jiazheng these days, did not come to Qian Jiazheng's side, and he and the four or five tribute students around him have faintly become the central figures of this neutral faction. As the highest-level school of Guozijian, the tribute students and prison students here are either preparing to participate in the imperial examination, or they are thinking of clinging to power to get an official position and looking for a way out.

Like the tribute students and prison students around Lu Wanling and Qian Jiazheng, they are all people who think that they are not knowledgeable enough and cannot enter the imperial examination normally. They will either open up the joints and get a chance to elect officials in the ministry, and get a petty official of the eighth or ninth grade to step into the official career, or they will stay up in this country to see if pie will fall from the sky. Or just can't stay up and go home, and give up starting a career from then on.

After more than ten years of hard study, in the end he is still a flat-headed commoner, although the names of Gongsheng and Prison Student, he can barely be regarded as a member of the gentry, but after all, it is different from those local gentry who have been officials.

When they went back to see the magistrate, they could only call themselves students. Although you don't have to kneel, you are not qualified to be on an equal footing with an official without the official's consent.

But those gentry who have been officials are different, even if they resign and return to their hometowns after a few days of being officials, they are also members of the official class, and local officials have to discuss officialdom friendship with them, and the same order as the imperial examination.

Because the official status of the Ming Dynasty is a very wonderful thing, whether you are corrupt or sick and retired home, as long as you are still in the eunuch register, maybe you will be re-used by the imperial court that day.

Therefore, no magistrate would offend a retired gentleman at home for no reason, because no one knew when this gentleman would be recruited by the imperial court again. Unless the gentleman and the official are rival political factions, that's a different matter.

Therefore, for these tribute students and prison students, if they do not enter the official career, they are equivalent to a lifetime of white body, and they are always the little people who are called by those real eunuchs. For these people who have seen the market compared with ordinary people, this kind of inferior personality oppression is really unbearable.

So in order to be able to enter the official career, no matter what the means, they have to give it a try. is different from the tribute students and prison students around Lu Wanling and Qian Jiazheng, that is, tribute students like Sun Boyang, who think that with their own talents, it is no problem to enter the official career. But after entering the official career, what position they can achieve is their ultimate pursuit.

When Wei Zhongxian's power soared, there was a prisoner like Lu Wanling, who could shamelessly praise the stinky feet of the eunuch and openly compare Wei Zhongxian with a saint. But in the Guozi Prison, how could anyone dare to object, and even the Guozi Prison Director had to pinch his nose and applaud it, praising Lu Wanling for being right.

When Wei Zhongxian fell, there were also Gongsheng who openly wrote a book like Qian Jiazheng and strongly accused Wei Zhongxian of ten major crimes. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than chasing fame, fortune and power.

Compared with Lu Wanling and Qian Jiazheng, Sun Boyang is still a somewhat shameful figure. Although he was keen on fame and fortune, when Qian Jiazheng regarded Shen Tingyang, a businessman who talked about the way of economics all day long, as a good talent, he really couldn't continue to bow his head to Qian Jiazheng.

It must be known that he is known as one of the 5 sons in the Frank Hall, and he is one of the 5 most outstanding people in the Frank Hall every exam. He whispered to Qian Jiazheng, even if Qian Jiazheng couldn't greet him, he should be above everyone.

couldn't get more than expected returns from Qian Jiazheng, so Sun Boyang naturally looked down on the relationship with Qian Jiazheng. Even, he also has some opinions about the Donglin Party, isn't this Donglin Party person just good at speaking out and moving the world? In addition, it seems that the Donglin Party has not done anything big.

Sun Boyang responded casually, and the classmates around him praised the article he had just written, but their eyes pretended to stare at Qian Jiazheng inadvertently, thinking so.

When the prisoners and tributes in the hall were touting each other's articles, finally a prisoner sitting by the window reported: "Liu Jiancheng came out of Biyong, he was holding a stack of papers, it is estimated that he is going to summon the prisoners to see His Majesty, everyone hurry back to their seats." ”

These spontaneous supervisors and tribute students quickly sat back in their seats, and some of the prisoners looked at Sun Boyang and the other five people enviously and said: "I just heard the five sons recite their own words, but they are much stronger than me, it seems that Your Majesty is going to summon them, and these five people must be on the list..."

A few people sitting at the front of Sun Boyang, hearing these words, couldn't help but look at each other and laugh. Only Sun Boyang looked unmoved, but under his calm appearance, his heart was excited, and he was even already typing the draft, thinking about how to say it when he met His Majesty.

However, after waiting for a long time, this Liu Jian Cheng could not live or die. Lu Wanling couldn't help frowning, turned to the prisoner who had just asked everyone to sit back in their seats, and asked viciously: "That guy, did you see Liu Jiancheng coming over, this time is enough to walk from Biyong to Chengxian Street." ”

The prisoner shrunk his neck and whispered in defense: "I did see Liu Jiancheng come out of Biyong, could it be that the articles in his hands are not spontaneous?" When it comes to learning in this country, who can compare to our frank hall? ”

If it was the past, Lu Wanling would have gotten up to teach a lesson, this prisoner who lied about the military situation. But today, the emperor is in Biyong on the side, and he doesn't have the courage to alarm the emperor.

Lu Wanling stared at the prisoner fiercely a few times, watching him bury his head almost under the table before turning around. In the dispute between Lu Wanling and this prisoner, the tributes and prisoners in the Frankness Hall finally became a little chaotic, and they all speculated whether His Majesty the Emperor did not take a fancy to the articles of the students of the Frankness Hall.

Sun Boyang, who was originally a little ambitious, seemed a little upset, and just as they were arguing, the doctor of the Reckless Hall finally returned. In the midst of the doctor's reprimand, the Reckless Hall finally regained its composure.

Qian Jiazheng relied on his fact that he had been deeply valued by Donglin these days, and several doctors in the Guozi Prison had a different view of him, so he got up and bowed to the doctor, and asked respectfully: "Dare to ask Master Mao, what is going on outside?" Did Liu Jiancheng come to summon the prisoners to face the saints? ”

Dr. Mao glanced at Qian Jiazheng and said lightly: "You guessed right, Your Majesty is ordering Liu Jian Cheng and a few people to find people according to the articles selected by His Majesty, and they are about to summon them one by one." ”

Qian Jiazheng didn't continue to ask questions, and Sun Boyang, who was a little depressed, had already stood up and asked the doctor: "But Master Mao, why didn't Supervisor Liu come to the Rash Hall, the talented people of Guozijian are here." ”

If someone was so rude on weekdays, Dr. Mao would have waved the ring ruler over a long time ago. However, looking at this most proud student in the past, Dr. Mao still sighed, walked over and patted Sun Boyang on the shoulder and said, "Your Majesty did not choose any of the articles of the students of the Reckless Hall. Although I don't know what the criteria for His Majesty's selection of texts are, all living beings should be cautious with this precept and strive to learn. Today is just a small comparison of the country's eunuchs, if you are still not valued by Your Majesty in the next day's examination, then all beings will have to waste another three years. ”

Qian Jiazheng sat back silently, and Sun Boyang, who was lost and depressed, was also pulled down by the same table, but Lu Wanling looked thoughtful.

Within Biyong, 47 prisoners were summoned. These inmates were not favored by their classmates in the past, because not only did their hobbies have nothing to do with sage books, but even on weekdays, they did not spend much time on sage books.

In the eyes of Liu Yourong and other Dr. Guozijian, these people are all an evaluation, a group of people who don't know how to make progress and spend time in Guozijian. They can stay in the Guozijian, on the one hand, the current scholars are unwilling to enter the Guozijian. Because entering the national prison only has the advantage of directly participating in the examination, but it is easy to enter the prison and difficult to get out of the prison, and the requirement to pay a large amount of money to enter the prison makes the self-proclaimed talented scholars unwilling to enter the prison.

On the other hand, the families of these prisoners are either officials or wealthy businessmen, and when they are sent to the Guozi Prison, they want to bypass the imperial examination and donate an official position or something. It is precisely because of these unmotivated prisoners that the officials of Guozijian and these Weibo officials can collect some extra money on the occasion of the New Year's Festival.

For Liu Yourong and other Dr. Guozijian, they didn't take these prisoners to heart, but they tried their best to keep them in Guozijian. But today, they really don't know what Chongzhen likes about these prisoners.
