Chapter 2142
Ouyang Zhang really wanted it, and he didn't want Emperor Jing Yuan to make such a stupid big mistake again.

Mr. Ying Ge saw it, and advised him in a timely manner: "Your Majesty, what Ouyang Lord said is that the candidates who entered the Tribute Academy really cannot be killed... why don't you arrest and lock up these complaining candidates first, and wait until the day when the results are announced, let them be killed?" They paraded in the streets to show the public, and then cut off their right hands, in order to warn all literati, greedy for life and afraid of death."

It has to be said that Mr. Ying Ge is worthy of being a person who has been in power for decades, and he is very good at trying to figure out Emperor Jing Yuan's mind, and it can be said that he has reached Emperor Jing Yuan's heart.

But Ouyang Zhang disagreed: "Your Majesty, you can parade in the street to show the public, but you must never cut off your hands... Hands are the lifeblood of literati. If they are cut off, it is no different from beheading. Those who have their hands cut off will never live. They may die on the spot. , then the matter will become a big mess, and the rest of the literati will feel that His Majesty..."

Brutal!

However, for the sake of Emperor Jing Yuan's face, Ouyang Zhang did not say these four words, but said euphemistically: "Your Majesty, benevolent government is the way."

boom!
Emperor Jing Yuan was so angry that he almost smashed the table and asked Ouyang Zhang: "You are calling me cruel! Isn't I good enough for them? I just want them not to be afraid of death, and I didn't send them to the battlefield to fight! As a person of merit and fame, he eats Da Chu's salary, and when Da Chu is in danger, he should go to battle and kill the enemy!"

Emperor Jing Yuan had fought on the battlefield when he was young, so he acted a bit like a warrior, but he was too anxious, eager for success, and used strong methods to force people time and time again, putting himself in this situation.

But Ouyang Zhang just couldn't get up, and insisted not to let Emperor Jing Yuan break Juren's right hand.

Elder Ying Ge persuaded: "Your Majesty, let Lord Ouyang get up first, as for whether to break their hands, we will decide when they parade."

With this step, Emperor Jing Yuan took advantage of the situation, snorted coldly, and said to Ouyang Zhang: "Get up."

"Minister, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Ouyang Zhang got up when he saw that there was room for change.

As soon as Emperor Jing Yuan raised his hand, a group of sergeants rushed to the examination room, restrained the person who had shouted earlier, gagged his mouth, tied him up and took him away.

In order to train the Juren, Emperor Jingyuan had to stay in the examination shed of the Gongyuan for a total of nine days in the three examinations of the present department. No matter how bitter or cold or how sick he was, he could not go out.

Unless you are too sick to pass out and can no longer take the exam, they will drag you away.

And only one meal, one water, and one charcoal fire are distributed every day. After the candidates get the food, water, and charcoal fire, they distribute them by themselves. If you finish eating in one meal, you will be hungry all day.

Therefore, in the past nine days, the tribute courtyard has been like a battlefield, and many candidates have been rejected by the body alone.

Especially the sons of aristocratic families and high-ranking officials and nobles, those who were too pampered, couldn't stand the bitter cold, and fainted one after another. The test was useless.

Nine days later, when the gate of the Tribute Court opened, many examinees were carried out, and the whole vicinity of the Tribute Court was full of crying, which was quite miserable.

Gu Jin'an, Gu Dexing, and Qi Kangming have been practicing boxing and kicking for the past few years, and they were also fed by old doctor Wu with medicinal food, so their bodies can still bear it.

Mr. Xu is a shrewd person. Seeing that the children of the Gu family are practicing martial arts, he also let Xu Zhaoming practice. Young Master Qu suffered from illness during the college entrance examination. He has been learning boxing and kicking for the past two years, and the two of them also survived. , did not fall ill.

As for Yao Youqian, he has been doing hard work since he was a child, his body is strong, and he has nothing to do except hunger.

But Liang Jiang and Yan Xiaowu were carried out by them.

"Young master!" Zezi and Feng Lian quickly saw Gu Jinan and rushed towards him.

After seeing Yan Xiaowu fainted, Zezi hurriedly shouted to the Yan family behind him: "Second Master Yan, your fifth son has fainted, bring the doctor here!"

Second Master Yan is Yan Xiaowu's cousin, and he came to pick him up in person. Hearing this, he rushed over with someone: "Xiao Wu, how is Xiao Wu? Doctor, save Xiao Wu!"

"It started to burn, but I didn't pass out until after the paper was handed in. There should be no problem in the test. Don't worry about Er Ye Yan." Gu Jin'an said, and after handing Yan Xiaowu to him, Hua Qianshan carried Liang Jiang into the carriage , to rescue Liang Jiang.

Dou Shaodong's family had already brought a doctor to wait for them. Seeing this, he immediately asked the Dou family doctor to rescue them. After a lot of trouble, he gave Liang Jiang some convenient medicine to reduce fever, and Liang Jiang's high fever finally subsided.

"Brother Dou, go to teach Xi and tell them. There must be a lot of JAC candidates fainting." Gu Jinan said, taking Zezi and Feng Lian to find JAC candidates.

Ouyang Fu, Miao Zongqi and the others had already received the candidates from Jianghuai, and they were carrying the fainted ones to the place occupied by Dou's house, and treated them on the spot.

Dou's family was not idle either, they went to help those examinees who hadn't fainted but couldn't move, and fed them hot salt water: "Drink some water, take your time."

Jiang Sheng brought Xu Dexian to pick up Gu Jin'an and the others, and came to help when he saw the situation. After a lot of work, he finally rescued the candidates from Jianghuai.

Xi Jiaoyu cried: "They are all alive, thanks to Dou Shaodong's family, Yan's family and Brother An, thank you very much."

Just now, after leaving the Tribute Academy, several candidates failed to hold on and just died. The teachers of those dead candidates cried bitterly. One of them almost hit the wall, but he was dragged by someone.

And looking at the number of people who fainted, it is estimated that some candidates will die of illness in the next few days.

Steward Yan came over to remind them, "My lords, the Gong Yuan is in a mess and it's not suitable to stay for long. The second master said, let me lead someone to clear the way for you and escort you back to the inn. If it's too late, there will be a stampede or a surprise Damn, I'm afraid something will happen."

And Second Master Yan had already protected Yan Xiaowu and left first.

Xi Jiaoyu hurriedly said: "Hey, I'll be back now, I'll be back now, I'm sorry."

Steward Yan immediately led a team of nurses from the Yan family to lead the way, and the people from Shaodong Dou's family escorted the candidates from Jianghuai to leave.

Ouyang Fu and the others were protecting Gu Jinan and the others.

Jiang Sheng led Xu Dexian to follow, and after tossing and turning for half an hour, he finally figured out the Gongyuan Street, led the horses and harnessed them, and drove the carriage to Donglai Inn.

Today is so chaotic, Jiang Sheng didn't talk to Gu Jin'an much, he just reminded him: "Thank you behind closed doors, and don't go when the list is released, so as not to be arrested and become the son-in-law who took advantage of you... Nowadays, there are many People are staring at you, don't lose yourself if you want to get a good name in the exam."

After hearing this, Gu Jinan bowed to Jiang Sheng and said, "Thank you for reminding me, senior. This junior will remember it and will definitely protect himself."

Jiang Sheng nodded and greeted Xu Dexian to leave.

Xu Dexian admired Gu Jin'an very much, and before leaving, he begged: "Brother Gu, after everything is settled, I will ask you for homework, is it possible?"

Gu Jinan smiled and said, "Of course it's possible."

After hearing this, Xu Dexian smiled happily, bowed to Gu Jinan, thanked him, and followed Jiang Sheng back.

Xu Dexian is not young anymore, and he has been taught by Jiang Sheng all the time. He has good knowledge. If he takes the exam, he will definitely be admitted to Juren, but Jiang Sheng won't let him take the exam, saying that he will wait for another three years.

He didn't say much, but asked Xu Dexian to postpone the imperial examination.

The Xu family believed him, so Xu Dexian was not allowed to take the test.
