The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 609
It was approaching the end of February, and there were less than ten days before Chunwei released the rankings.

According to past experience, this is the time when people rushing for the exam are the most restless. Those who pretend to be crazy to make troubles by drinking, and those who can't stand the pressure suddenly get sick. Even the most polite people on weekdays may suddenly become violent and do Make some outrageous moves.

So at this time, Shuntian Mansion and the patrol battalion will send more people to patrol around the Gongyuan day and night, so as not to gather here to rush for the examination and make any big troubles.

Naturally, this year is no exception, and the degree of attention has even been increased several times. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is like facing a big enemy.

As for the reason...

Naturally, it was because of a piece of news that had been widely circulated recently: In March, the imperial court planned to award the adjutants of the picket team the rank of nine military officers.

Who doesn't know that these adjutants are all work-study students?

That's not the case, people are still suffocating their energy to find jobs and students, dismiss engineering students, and now they suddenly hear this news, how can they sit idly by?

In just two or three days, the candidates from all provinces have joined together to write a letter, hoping that the imperial court can take it back. It would be best if the engineering school was abolished by the way.

This morning.

Outside the gate of the Qinghong Building, Zhao Wuwei, the head of the Shuntian Mansion's police squad, was holding a rubber stick, listening to the excited Nahan from Shaanxi inside, with a face full of disdain, and his mouth was like two hundred and fifty thousand.

Suddenly, he straightened his back, and directed to the group of subordinates who were also standing close to the wall: "Quick, hurry up and invite a doctor."

"how?"

Someone pointed nervously at the partition wall and asked, "Boss, are they fighting?"

"Screw!"

Zhao Wuwei glared angrily, and then explained in a low voice: "These Shaanxi people feel that they are one step behind others, and they are afraid that they will not show up. Right now, they are arguing to write a blood book——I am just in case. Tell you to call the doctor."

The yamen servants breathed a sigh of relief, and then separated two to invite the doctor.

Zhao Wuwei was about to prick up his ears and continue to listen to what was going on inside, but another subordinate complained: "If you ask me, these Juren are really full. What does it have to do with their scholars and me being appointed military officers?"

"You know shit!"

Zhao Wuwei turned around and scolded again: "If you can be appointed as a military officer today, you can be a civil servant tomorrow. This is called planning for a rainy day, gentlemen. You should agree with me. You don't care about the next meal!"

Seeing that his subordinates shrank their necks and dared not speak again, he began to examine the movement inside again.

About two quarters of an hour later, the Shaanxi candidates finally wrote the joint blood letter - during the period, there were two fainted blood, but they were all rescued after being strangled, and the doctor Zhao Wuwei invited was useless.

Seeing that the blood book had been completed, the leader Juren shouted.

The hundred and ten people rushed out, rushing to the Inspector's Office aggressively.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuwei hurriedly called to the left and right to open the way, and complimented those Juren a few times, originally he didn't like sending people to monitor him, so he didn't bother with them.

When we arrived at the Inspectorate, there was already a censor on duty waiting outside.

But the leader Juren refused to hand over the bloody book directly, but first recited it aloud in cadence.

It does not directly say that work-study students are not qualified to be officials, but laments the long-standing disadvantages of redundant officials, and then proves from all aspects that this appointment is a waste of people and money, without any benefit.

In the end, he even recited the first and last names of all the candidates, one by one.

The move naturally drew cheers and applause from the crowd.

However, unlike previous joint letters, which always attracted the blind support of the masses, this time the people gathered near the Inspectorate only pointed and pointed from a distance, and their attitudes were not very friendly.

Fortunately, the enthusiastic Juren didn't care about the non-cooperation of passers-by.

After the inspector censor took the bloody book with both hands, and tried a few words loudly, they turned back as if they had won the final victory.

Seeing that nothing went wrong, Zhao Wuwei also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and complained to the subordinates beside him, "Those work-study students are also idiots, they just have fun secretly when there is such a good thing, and everyone who spreads it knows it. If the affairs of the officials go bad, I don’t think they will regret it to death!”

"Boss, I heard that the work-students themselves are also looking into who leaked the news."

"What's the use of finding out what's going on now?"

Just when the yamen servants were chatting.

The inspector censor who received the blood letter also quickly returned to his duty room—to be precise, he returned to the common duty room of the eight inspector censors.

So as soon as he entered, someone stood up and asked, "Brother Tian Wen, which province is this?"

"Shaanxi."

The censor who was called Tianwen was originally surnamed Lu, and his name was Lu Tianwen. He walked around to his desk without stopping, pulled a few pieces of rice paper and spread it out, and said while studying ink: "Shaanxi people are still bloody." , although it was a step late, but it was written in blood."

Hearing that it was a blood book, two or three censors came up to take a look at it, but Lu Tianwen raised his hand to stop him: "Don't worry, brothers, wait for me to copy a file and submit this blood book to the imperial court." Master Shi, it's not too late for you to read the copy again."

"What you're reading is a blood book, what are you doing with the copy you transcribed?"

Hearing what he said, several censors dispersed.

Lu Tianwen swiped his pen and splashed ink, quickly finished copying a copy, then hurriedly got up with the blood book and said: "Who can help me with the filing procedures, I will hand in this thing first."

Someone from the left and right immediately warned: "Don't forget to inquire about it by the way, and see how the elders react."

Lu Tian asked in reply, and hurried out of the duty room with the hem of his official robe.

Seeing this, someone couldn't help sighing: "Brother Tianwen is really jealous and fierce."

Another person got up and went to Lu Tianwen's desk, and spontaneously completed the filing procedures for him, but before the formalities were completed, Lu Tianwen went back to the valet with a livid face, still clutching the bloody book in his hand .

Everyone couldn't help being surprised: "Brother Tianwen, you are..."

But Lu Tianwen returned to his desk without saying a word, slapped the bloody book on the table, panted violently for a few times, and cursed angrily: "I don't want to be a king, I'm full of corpses." Silverfish!"

This scolding made everyone even more inexplicable.

Sitting only in Lu Tianwen's seat, the person who helped file the files looked thoughtful.

"God asks brother."

A censor stepped forward and asked: "What happened? Why did you take this blood book back?"

Lu Tianwen lowered his head to look at the blood book that he slapped on the table, frowned and said, "I forgot that there is still this blood book."

As he spoke, he tossed the blood book aside casually, and said with a sneer, "But so what if I submit it? I just asked Mr. Du Yushi for the opinions of the elders. What do you think is the result?"

Without waiting for the censors to guess, he revealed the answer: "Lord Du Yushi said that the cabinet has just ordered our Inspectorate and the Ministry of Rites to come forward to suppress the stranded officials in the capital, and temporarily suppress this matter!"

touch~
He slammed his fists on the desk and cursed with righteous indignation: "Absurd, shameless!"

The censors were also in an uproar, and some people couldn't believe it: "How could this happen? Previously, Elder He Ge had come forward to try his best to win this year's election, claiming that he would never sit back and watch Gangchang become corrupted. How could it suddenly..."

"I heard it with my own ears, can it be false?!"

Lu Tianwen interrupted the man with a low growl, gritted his teeth and said, "The elders stand high and far away, how do they know the situation below? Ladies and gentlemen, if you only give officials to work-students, it's really nothing, but Do you know what the ordinary people outside are talking about?!"

He looked around the crowd and said in a trembling voice, "Nine out of ten are biased towards engineering students and work-study students!"

As soon as these words came out, several censors who were usually high-spirited and ungrounded felt unbelievable and questioned the authenticity of these words.

But there were also two censors who stood up and supported Lu Tianwen's remarks.

One of them sighed helplessly: "Those foolish people don't know the righteousness of the family, the country, and the world. They only think that the way of working-student students is easy to follow, and their children and grandchildren are expected to get a piece of the pie in the future, so they blindly favor those scabs."

In fact, this is also the backlash effect caused by Shihlin's deliberate promotion of the status of scholars for thousands of years.

Nowadays, ordinary people always think that those Jinshi and Juren are all Wenqu stars descending from the sky, and they are not something ordinary people can climb up to.

But work-study students are different. Isn’t it just learning crafts?Naturally, I can't do it when I'm old, but the younger generations may not have the opportunity-even if they are all awarded as sesame officials and military positions, no matter how young or poor, they are still decent officials with a rank!

After learning about these things, those imperial censors who had always been noble became the most flustered, and surrounded Lu Tian to ask how to deal with it.

"Can't wait any longer!"

Lu Tianwen gritted his teeth and said: "The rules in the officialdom are broken, maybe there is still a chance to correct it, but if the people's hearts are broken... In the long run, everyone in the world will follow the evil path of engineering students, who will devote themselves to learning?"

As he said that, he grabbed the bloody book and held it up like a banner: "If you are brave enough, go hit the Jingyang Bell with me, and let Your Majesty hear the voice of the world's scholars with your own ears!"

What he shouted was full of enthusiasm, but the scene in the duty room went cold for a moment.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. After a long while, one person said helplessly, "Brother Tian Wen, who doesn't know that this engineering school is Your Majesty..."

"so what?!"

Lu Tianwen shook the blood book in his hand, and said generously: "Students without official and job do not hesitate to give blood. As officials and censors, we are still afraid of death?!"

As he said that, he cupped his fists at everyone: "No matter what you think, Lu Mou today..."

This sentence "no matter what you do" is actually equivalent to setting everyone present on the fire, so before Lu Tianwen finished speaking, many people changed their colors.

At this moment, the censor who had been sitting on Lu Tianwen's seat without speaking, suddenly got up and grabbed Lu Tianwen's arm: "Brother Tianwen, don't worry, come with me, come on, come on!" , I have something important to discuss!"

He dragged and tugged, and forced Lu Tianwen to get outside the door.

Lu Tian asked, "Brother Wang, what are you doing? I must go today, and no one can stop me!"

"Ah~"

Then Wang Yushi looked around, then lowered his voice and said helplessly: "I'm afraid that you will ruin something by being reckless!"

"What's the big deal?"

Lu Tianwen sneered: "It's a big deal if people's hearts are broken!"

"you!"

Wang Yushi stomped his feet anxiously, seeing that if he didn't shake something real, he might not be able to stop Lu Tianwen, so he had to listen to him: "Brother Tianwen, I heard that His Majesty had a stroke after drinking a few days ago, let alone get up now. It’s hard to even speak.”

"Varied……"

"Don't shout!"

Lu Tianwen was dumbfounded, and wanted to shout, but was blocked by Wang Yushi's raised hand. After a long time, he calmed down a little, pushed away Wang Yushi's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Really?"

Wang Yushi stared back and asked, "Who is my uncle? Are you telling the truth?"

Only then did Lu Tianwen remember that Wang Yushi's uncle was Wang Zhe, a heavenly official from the Ministry of Officials. He immediately believed it [-]% to [-]% of the time. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment. He hesitated to speak.

"Do you understand this time?"

Wang Yushi put his hands behind his back, and said with a superior face: "The gentlemen in the hall are not cowardly, but they don't want to intensify the conflict at this time."

"I was the one who was abrupt."

Lu Tianwen also gave in at this moment, cupped his hands and said, "If I knew this earlier, I would never dare to act recklessly."

As he spoke, he stomped his feet again and said, "I'll go to the imperial censor right now, and take over the job of comforting Juren, so as not to disturb the plans of the elders because of others' confusion!"

Wang Yushi wanted to tell him to keep it secret, but seeing him running away in a hurry, he had to shake his head helplessly.

In just these two days, similar conversations happened not only in one place.

And in the next few days, in order to appease the agitated Juren, whoever could not bear the pressure first leaked the emperor's condition.

Then, during a certain conflict between Juren and work-students, some people broke out the incident without any choice, mocking the work-students for having no future, and threatening to settle accounts after the fall.

Now, the emperor could no longer hide his illness, and there was a turmoil in the city, which even overwhelmed the list of Jinshi who was about to be released.

Although the Juren who first leaked the news were held accountable and questioned, this did not prevent the arrogance of the Juren from day to day, so the rumors of liquidation of work-students and engineering students were rampant, and later some people even threatened to restore the " Craftsmen' system, let the workers be slaves from generation to generation, and never have a bright future!

For a moment, people were panicked.

until……

On the fifth day of March, Mr. Jiao, who had taken eighteen days of marriage leave, returned to work and made two high-profile announcements on the same day, namely that the appointment of officials was about to begin soon; According to the decree, he is going to enter the palace to teach the prince the engineering of learning from things.

The first piece of news was nothing more than that, if it was just this matter, in the eyes of everyone, it would be nothing more than a dying struggle.

But the latter news unsurprisingly caused a huge shock between the government and the opposition.

The scholars, no matter the officials or the people, were all saddened by it, and shouted that the Jiao thief must not be allowed to poison the emperor's system!

Workers and work-students rushed to tell each other, pouring into the streets and shouting: "When Mr. Jiao is back, the capital will be peaceful; when Mr. Jiao is back, there will be a blue sky!"
