Datang Nongwang

Chapter 737
At the end of the revealed road, a student was walking towards the gate with his head held high and his chest held high.

This person is no one else, it is the scholar surnamed Wang who was talking nonsense in the mansion just now.

The scholar surnamed Wang strutted towards the gate, and the students on both sides gave way.

This made Li Xiaogong outside the mansion suddenly vigilant after seeing this student.

Li Xiaogong knew this person.

This scholar surnamed Wang is very famous in Chang'an City.

Wang Ji.

Talk about that year.

Wang Ji has participated in two scientific examinations.

For the first time, he lost his name to Sun Shan.

Ever since he came to Chang'an to participate in the first scientific examination, Wang Ji devoted himself to studying and kept his ears to himself.

After a lapse of three years, I took part in the scientific examination again.

And in the scientific examination he took after three years, his results were among the top few in the first two examinations of Mingjing that he took.

Mingjing belongs to a subject in the scientific examination of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to the Ming Jing, there are many subjects in the scientific examinations of the Tang system.

Such as Xiucai, Mingjing, Jinshi, Junshi, Mingsuan, etc.

The most famous ones are Ming Jing and Jinshi.

Scholars and Scholars here are not titles, but subjects of scientific examinations.

Since the establishment of the scientific examination system in the Sui Dynasty, Jinshi is also the most difficult subject.

Because the Jinshi scientific examination is poetry and prose, the degree of difficulty can be imagined.

Therefore, students who want to be admitted to the Jinshi Department must read books of an order of magnitude, and have a strong talent in poetry and prose, otherwise, they will end up with nothing but failure.

It is the best way to describe these students who are admitted to Jinshi's department as full of economics and knowledge.

Let me talk about this scripture again.

Ming Jing is divided into five classics, three classics, two classics, scholarly one classics, three rites, and three biography.

The scope of the examination is nothing more than "Book of Rites", "Zuo Zhuan", "Book of Changes", "Shangshu", and absolutely no arithmetic.

Therefore, if a student wants to test the subject of classics, he must familiarize himself with these scriptures.

There are three exams in one subject of Mingjing.

The first session is post scriptures, the second session is trial righteousness, and the third session is test current affairs policy.

However, after the first and second rounds of the Mingjing test, Wang Ji achieved excellent results.

But at the time of the third round of the exam, when facing the examiner's question and answer, he offended the examiner because of his words.

For this reason, no matter how excellent Wang Ji's performance in the first two games was, he was ultimately eliminated.

Although he, Wang Ji, was dismissed, but after the incident of his dismissal because of offending the examiner was publicized, the entire city of Chang'an regarded Wang Ji as a scholar like a god.

Why?

Let me ask, who would dare to offend the examiner during the Mingjing examination?And he still offended the chief examiner.

But this Wang Ji dared.

That is to say, his Wang Ji's reputation can be said to be famous all over the city of Chang'an.

Of course, although his reputation is great, no matter how great he is, he has no chance of an official career. He can only hang out in various romantic places in Chang'an, drinking and having fun every day.

Wang Ji knew it well.

I offended the examiner, if I continue the exam, I guess there will be no good results.

After all, the examiner he offended is still a minister of the court and China, and even the chief examiner who has presided over the scientific examination for several years in a row.

although.

He, Wang Ji, once tried to become a retainer of a certain family, and wanted to enter an official career in the name of a retainer.

Unfortunately.

Everyone in Chang'an City knew that he had offended the ministers of the court, so no one would dare to admit him, even the generals would not dare to admit him.

Moreover.

None of these nobles in Chang'an City knew what was behind him, Wang Ji.

His surname is Wang, and he dared to offend the chief examiner.

Looking at the world, if there is no background, who would dare?

That's right, behind this Wang Ji is the Wang family, one of the four great families.

However, although Wang Ji is not a direct line of the Wang family, he is only a collateral line of the collateral line.

But even so, he, Wang Ji, was very popular in Chang'an, and his reputation had already resounded throughout the city of Chang'an.

now.

Wang Ji surrounded Li Chongyuan's mansion with thousands of students and scholars, and even smashed Li Chongyuan's mansion.

Moreover, Wang Ji didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, violated the laws of Tang, walked out of the mansion gate with a proud look, and looked condescendingly at Li Xiaogong on horseback.

At this time, Li Xiaogong was full of vigilance when he saw the person coming.

Seeing Wang Ji's appearance, Li Xiaogong already knew that this matter was not easy.

Wang Ji is a collateral member of the Wang family, his appearance can be said to represent the Wang family, which made Li Xiaogong's original plan start to waver.

"Wang Ji, as a scholar, you should have read the laws of my Tang Dynasty. You took them to attack the palace of Xisha County, do you know what crime you committed! This king ordered you to take them away immediately, otherwise, this The king's soldiers, I will definitely take you down!" Li Xiaogong, who was a little shaken at first, thought that he had been immersed in it for many years, and it was time to show his prestige.

Li Xiaogong shouted in a deep voice, all the students were a little nervous, and took half a step back.

On the other hand, Wang Ji had a sinister smile on his face, as if he didn't care who the person in front of him was, "Jun Hejian, we are justifying the name of Confucianism. He Li Chongyuan dared to let go of such big words in the Imperial College, then Li Chongyuan You have to know that if he dares to let go of those big words, he should accept the consequences. If it wasn't for his Li Chongyuan running fast, we and other Confucian disciples would definitely tie him up and kneel down in front of the holy statue of Confucius. King Hejian , as Li Chongyuan's uncle, you shouldn't have appeared in this matter. But once you appeared, it shows that what Li Chongyuan put down must have your instruction."

"Hahahaha, what a Wang Ji, what a Confucian student. The Great Tang Dynasty of our central government established the country with force and ruled the country with law. But you, Wang Ji, and you can't represent the children of Confucianism, nor can you represent the people of the world. You dare to attack a county king's mansion, and even smashed a county king's mansion, it seems that you have not realized your crimes until now. If so, then none of you should leave." Li Xiaogong didn't want to respond to Wang Ji , I just want to quickly end this matter of losing face to my Li family.

Li Chongyuan is his nephew.

Now, his nephew's mansion was smashed down by a group of students, which was obviously a premeditated and planned provocation against his Li family.

It is even provoking the Li clan, and it is also provoking the court.

Scholars are not easy to mess with.

Li Xiaogong understood in his heart.

But today's matter, if he Li Xiaogong does not calm down, then the next thing is not to smash Li Chongyuan's mansion, maybe it will be like what Wang Ji said, to tie up Li Chongyuan and take him to the Imperial College. Let Li Chongyuan kneel in front of the holy statue of Confucius.

But Lee Hyo-gong was also worried.

I was worried that if I really caught these students, I would be able to bear the consequences.

concern.

Just when Li Xiaogong was worried, the butler of the family was running towards this side on a fast horse.

When the butler came to Li Xiaogong, he glanced at the situation of Li Chongyuan's mansion, and the anger in his eyes immediately showed on his face.

He watched Li Chongyuan grow up.

Although he didn't pay much attention before, but after these years, no matter how Li Chongyuan's performance or growth is, the housekeeper has already changed his view of Li Chongyuan.

And now.

Li Chongyuan has already been honored as the county king, and even once served as a governor, which is comparable to Li Chongyuan's father.

If Li Chongyuan falls, the housekeeper doesn't know whether the family will go down.

But the butler knew that if there was no Li Chongyuan in the family, their Xiang clan might really be in decline.

The angry housekeeper came in front of Li Xiaogong, whispered in his ear: "Jun Wang, the old lady asked me to come and pass on a message."

"What are you talking about?" Li Xiaogong was very puzzled when he saw the housekeeper of the family running over and wanted to pass on a word to the old lady.

The butler continued to whisper: "The old lady said that Yuan'er's mission to other countries is very hard. Yuan'er has made great contributions to the country, but some people want to ruin Yuan'er's future, so my Li family doesn't have to think about other things. If the county king is inconvenient to do it, then we will do it ourselves."

Li Xiaogong understood.

The meaning of the old lady asking the housekeeper to come over to deliver a message is very clear.

Regardless of the consequences, these students must be severely punished, even if they get caught up with the Li family because of the punishment of these students, they must keep Li Chongyuan.

This is what the old lady meant.

Li Xiaogong knew that someone was behind this matter, and the old lady understood it even more.

Some people wanted to take advantage of the identities of these students to attack Li Chongyuan, and even wanted to destroy Li Chongyuan.

The people behind it have vicious intentions, the old lady will definitely not let it go.

After the housekeeper finished speaking, he continued: "Young King, although I don't have many members in my family, there are still several thousand soldiers. Moreover, the old lady has entered the palace just now, and has obtained the approval of the Holy Majesty and the handbook. Just need With the order of the county king, my officers and soldiers from the Xiang family will come to deal with these villains."

A villain can already explain the old lady's mind.

Severe punishment must be severely punished.

What kind of student, what kind of scholar, what kind of scholar.

In the eyes of the old lady, those who dared to smash Li Chongyuan's mansion were not students, but villains.

"There is no need for you to come forward to the officers and men of the Xiang family. My Li Xiaogong is also surnamed Li. Some young people don't need you to come forward to the officers and men of the Xiang family." After listening to the steward's words, Li Xiaogong made up his mind.

The Li family has been immersed for too long, so long that others always think that the Li family is easy to bully.

Li Gui passed away early, and when Li Gui passed away, he had confessed to Li Xiaogong, asking him to take good care of his family and his nephews.

There are four Li Xiaogong brothers, until now, he is the only one left.

The eldest brother, Li Chen, died in Wude three years ago.

The younger brother, Li Yu, died in the eighth year of Wude.

The youngest brother, Li Gui, died in the fourth year of Zhenguan.

Of the four brothers, he is the only one left.

If he doesn't stand up for the Li family, the Li family will really be bullied to death.

Immediately, Li Xiaogong, who had made up his mind, glared at Wang Xiu and the students, his face twitched, and he shouted, "Listen to the order, take down all the villains. If there is any resistance, kill them!" No pardon!"

Kill without mercy! ! !

As soon as the sound of villain and the sound of killing without mercy came out, all the soldiers ran towards the gate without saying a word.

When Wang Ji and all the students saw Li Xiaogong issue such an order, they were taken aback for a moment, then they became nervous and even defended again and again.

but.

At this time, Li Xiaogong didn't say a word, let these students argue as if they could.

As for the soldiers, they only know how to obey orders and do nothing else.

This is not.

When all the soldiers rushed to the gate and arrested hundreds of students, all the students retreated into the mansion like a mountain falling.

Either crying and begging for mercy, or saying that this matter has nothing to do with them and so on.

Within a quarter of an hour, none of the students involved in smashing up the mansion could escape the capture of the officers and soldiers.

As a scholar, it is basically impossible to accomplish one thing.

Isn't there a saying that is well said, if a scholar rebels, he will fail in three years.

This sentence is enough to show that whether it is a scholar or a scholar, it is really impossible for them to make a big event.

People are unstable.

Furthermore, each has its own thoughts.

Wang Ji wanted to take this opportunity to come to Bo to get a position.

After all, his family had promised him that as long as the matter was settled, he would be able to become an official in a certain place.

And some of these students also got the promise of the people behind them.

But in the face of being detained and sent to prison, they are afraid.

Even the sentence of killing without mercy made them even more nervous and frightened, fearing that if they resisted a little, they would die in this incident for their own benefit.

What kind of reputation, compared with life, is not worth mentioning at all.

Thousands of students were arrested, and thousands of Marquis Wu participated in it. Naturally, the court will not be quiet.

This is not.

Fang Xuanling and other ministers who have been paying attention to this matter, after hearing the news, went directly to the palace to intercede with the saint.

even.

Kong Yingda, who has been citing illness as an excuse and seldom entered the court, also entered the palace and asked Li Shimin to intercede.

The palace entered, and Sheng also met, but Li Shimin didn't seem to say anything from the beginning to the end, and even dismissed all the ministers on the grounds that he was not feeling well.

for days.

Chang'an City became a little weird.

The people of Baiqisi have been tracking down the mastermind behind this incident.

The students in Chang'an City were also panicked, afraid that they would be found out because of this matter.

until a certain day.

The changes in Chang'an City tended to calm down.

Another day, court meeting.

Sitting on the throne, Li Shimin stared at the few ministers below, the dissatisfaction in his eyes made the court meeting very strange.

The court meeting was approaching, and after Li Shimin left, Wang Li shouted at the top of his voice, "It is the order of the sage that this year's imperial examinations will be temporarily suspended. Those recommended by the officials of each court will be temporarily submitted to the Ministry of Officials for review, and then submitted to the sage for approval. .”

After Wang Li's words came out, the hall became chaotic with a bang.

There has never been a will like this.

Although the decree was to suspend the imperial examination temporarily, everyone knew that Li Shimin was dissatisfied with the court officials and directly canceled this year's imperial examination.

Even the people recommended by the court officials have changed.

In the past, there was never any questioning, but now, because of that incident, Li Shimin wanted to question those people recommended by the court officials.

The court officials panicked.

No one thought that Li Shimin would be so unhappy.
