"Who dares to provoke him?" Silent couldn't help but smile, and told everyone about the conflict between Xu Wei and Wang Shizhen during the Chinese New Year.
When they heard the long-standing circulating in the capital that "there are plums on the ink, which look like peaches but not peaches, and there is a layer of hair on its body; like apricots but not apricots, there is a slit on its body...", everyone laughed so hard that they leaned back and forth, and tears fell. Sun Ying patted the table and smiled, "Just him, he has so many crooks..."
After a while of joke, the atmosphere at the table gradually became depressed. After all, I went south this time, not to travel around, but to deal with major cases in the imperial examination. Everyone's eyes always unconsciously looked at Jin Da sitting on Sun Ying's right... This guy was the master of their subject, and he had no character, knowledge and ability, but because he was Yan Song's fellow countryman, his career was quite wasted. Then, with the help of Shen Mo, he had just become the priest of the Imperial College in Nanjing, but he was involved in this kind of thing.
Student***, address:.com will save yourself... It doesn't matter whether you are fined or demoted. Anyway, if you are silent in the court, you will be promoted sooner or later.
Seeing that Jin Da had a good start, he was shocked by his silent spirit and raised his wine bowl and said, "I can't write two words in one stroke. We are friends of the same year who will do great things together in the future. Are we going to have conflicts now?" He said with a deep expression: "If we forget the oath of being together and sharing honor and disgrace, even if we worship each other in the future, we will still be unable to do anything!"
Everyone responded only, and everyone understood the great principles, but how many of them could take the advantages and disadvantages in front of them?
After a long silence, Geng Dingxiang finally spoke and smiled miserably, "Jiangnan said it well. I am the initiator of this case, so I will take the main responsibility. Anyway, I am not here and I will neglect my duties. Instead of being a corpse, it is better to just go to the forest and concentrate on preaching our new king's learning from now on."
"Just..." Chen Si shook his head and smiled: "Your proposal is a normal memorial, the Ministry of Rites agrees, the cabinet votes are proposed, and the emperor approves the rewards. According to the complete and legal process, it becomes a decree." He paused: "If you are judged for your fault, wouldn't it mean that Zhaobutang, Xu Ge Lao and the Emperor are all wrong? I am not so bold."
"Then..." Geng Dingxiang's expression was dull, but his heart was actually relieved. After all, he took the initiative to leave and was a true celebrity. Because of this kind of thing, the court had to pick up the black veil and he had to be covered in dust for the rest of his life.
"This is right, that is right. It seems that Yingtian Mansion is wrong." At this time, Sun Piyang said coldly: "Okay, it was because Shuntian Mansion handled the problem inappropriately, which intensified the conflict, which led to the increasing trouble. It's okay." This brother was born in a poor and upright person, and was once tragically stole from the court for persuading Emperor Jiajing. Although the new dynasty immediately revived and was promoted to Yingtian Mansion, his work was inevitably a bit different from that of ordinary people.
"Titanyama, you are too nervous," Silent waved his hand and looked around everyone and said, "You all take this case too seriously. In fact, this is different from ordinary fraud cases. Whether it is the lead actor, the examiner or the law enforcement officer, as long as they are impartial and have no fault in themselves, there is no need to hold anyone responsible."
"Hey, you said it earlier..." Xia Shi and others, who were purely accompanying each other, immediately smiled and sang lively, saying, "I was so scared that I was so cautious that I jumped so hard..."
"Can such a case be suppressed?" After laughing, Sun Ying said worriedly.
"Why can't you suppress it?" Chen Si said lightly: "The officials in Beijing are busy fighting with eunuchs. They don't have time to pay attention to this side. We just need to settle the matter."
"The problem is that this matter is not over." Sun Piyang said in agreement: "Those prison students can go on a hunger strike in prison. If they speak, they will protest to death if they don't restore the size of the dishes." He said, "Jiangnan, I'm not doing it just now. Don't be surprised. It's really because of the great pressure inside and outside recently."
"How could it be? You and I still need to be so polite?" Chen Si shook his head and smiled: "Most of those prison students have backgrounds. People are locked up inside, so of course their families have to move."
"However, since Jiangnan is coming, they have to be honest, and Lishan can relax." Xia Shi smiled and comforted Sun Piyang.
"That's right." Sun Piyang finally smiled.
"Come on, drink, drink." So the same year, the group put aside their worries and began to talk about the romantic and romantic things, recalling the youthfulness, and becoming happy again.
But in the Xia Shi, Huang Gao and a few bystanders were clear, and they couldn't help but sigh. As soon as the silence arrived, everyone immediately had a backbone. The impetuous and anxious feeling disappeared, and it can be seen that the saying "The bird will fly without a head" is true at all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the banquet was gone, they were silent and exhausted. They asked them what they had to do. If they were busy, they would go back to the yamen first. Unexpectedly, except for Sun Piyang, the other six people shook their heads and said, "We are in Nanjing, the most important thing we lack is freedom."
"I'm not at ease with so many prison students in the prison." Sun Piyang said, then left with his fists in the silent.
"You will do it yourself." Chen Si stretched out and said, "I have to take a break." So everyone continued to drink tea and play chess in the water pavilion, and passed the time. He moved to the backyard, washed it a little, and fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already dark outside. He asked silently, and Hu Yong came in with water... Although there was a maid like a flower and the best chef in Jinling in the mansion, for safety reasons, his silent daily life and diet were still managed by his old team.
Washing his face, he suddenly felt refreshed and asked silently: "Where is the person?"
"Several adults have gone home for dinner, and I'll come here to accompany you tomorrow." Hu Yong said: "Mr. Geng and Mr. Sun are still downstairs, waiting for you to have supper."
"Yes." Chen Ji changed into a brocade robe and came down from the upper floor.
A table of food has been set downstairs, and the lights are dim. Geng Dingxiang and Sun Ying are whispering. Compared with the noise during the day, it is obviously more suitable for heart-to-heart talk now.
Seeing him come down, the two stood up and smiled silently and let them sit down. When they looked at the food on the table, they said, "It's true that my brother knows me." The supper was very light, and the cold spell was made of four pieces of duck, the dishes were fried with wormwood and dried stinky tofu, and other fresh side dishes. The soup was duck blood vermicelli soup and chrysanthemum brain egg soup. The rice was made of two kinds of sesame cakes, butter and ordinary, and the extremely refreshing dish was the silent favorite.
Sun Ying smiled and said, "Although it's a table of ordinary dishes, ordinary people, where can I find the artemisia reed and chrysanthemum brain at this time? They are secret methods made by wealthy families. They can be preserved for a summer and are as delicious as before." These two things are specialties from Nanjing. Artemisia reed is produced on Jiangxinzhou in spring, and chrysanthemum brain can only be seen in summer.
"Mr. Sun is indeed a person who cares about his character." Sitting down with a silent teasing, he sat down with a bowl of soup and said, "If you want to do anything else, this green chrysanthemum brain egg soup is the most destructive, so I have to drink two more bowls."
After laughing for a while, the three of them ate quietly. Seeing that Chen Si put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, Sun Ying whispered: "At the lunch banquet, you are just shopping to reduce the burden on others, but in this way, the pressure will be on you."
"It's okay." Chen Shu sipped the tea ceremony: "In fact, the core of the contradiction is not how to deal with the parties involved, but whether to restore the 'sub-font size'." According to Chen Shu's understanding, the 'sub-font size is like the Beijing college entrance examination in later generations. Although there is a lot of condemnation across the country, no one can cancel it even if the university is expanded and the diploma is depreciated. Now the Ming Dynasty has cancelled the 'sub-font size' and has a serious impact on the supervisors. It is not surprising that it has suffered such a rebound: "If this problem is not solved, even if I suppress it this time, there will still be someone else. I am afraid that there will be no one in the Nanjing officialdom." The powerful lineup on the dock appeared in his mind, and it must be a lobbyist who advised himself to restore the 'sub-font size'.
After hearing the silent words, Geng Dingxiang's face turned pale and said softly: "The unevenness in the world all comes from the unfairness of recruiting scholars. The powerful and noble children in the Imperial College, who take advantage of the privilege of the font size and pass the most difficult provincial examination, can easily enter the official career. Then with the help of the elders of the family, they can occupy important positions in high-ranking officials and continue the status of the family. The Yingtian provincial examination was not too much, and they had to divide some of them into the font size, which made the competition for ordinary candidates extremely cruel. It can be said that thousands of troops competed for a single-plank bridge, and only a few could succeed in the end." As he said, he said emotionally: "The result of this Gui Ban just proves this unfairness. If there is no font size, almost all the powerful and noble children will not win. Since the court has taken various measures to ensure the fairness of the imperial examination, why should we turn a blind eye to this greatest injustice?"
"Brother Tiantai, don't worry." Silently put down the teacup and comforted her warmly: "Has the size of the dish been cancelled this year?"
"But it seems that you will recover next time." Geng Dingxiang sighed: "I finally took a step, but should I still retreat?"
"..." After pondering for a long time, Geng Dingxiang was about to be completely disappointed, he slowly said: "How could I answer you when you discussed with me?" Geng Dingxiang naturally had to ask for silent opinions before writing to the letter.
"I remember you said at the time." Geng Dingxiang said slowly: "A fair system of recruiting talents can ensure the upward flow of talents, the flowing water will not rot, and the door hinge will not rot. This unobstructed flow channel is almost the only way to limit the privileged class and monopolize the power of the state." He paused: "Although you did not clearly answer me in your letter, you obviously support me."
"Yes, I support you." Silent nodded, and his voice still said gently: "The way of heaven can reduce the excess and make up for the shortcomings. The size of the dish will not appear again..."
Geng Dingxiang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then worried, "How do you convince those big families?"
