marquis of jingan

Chapter 45
Shen Yi, who was standing in the crowd watching, saw the scene of the imperial envoy being greeted by the noble man at the gate of the city.

After the two imperial envoys and a group of court officials followed Chen Fuzun to the magistrate's yamen, Shen Yi knew in his heart that the battle was over.

At least the local struggle here in Jiangdu is over.

As for whether this struggle will spread to the capital, it is not something that Shen Yi can care about now.

To be honest, although a large part of the reason for this incident was provoked by him, Shen Qi, and the matter was also developing in the direction Shen Yi expected, but the current situation has far exceeded his estimation.

He hoped that the Ma family would be ransacked and exiled, but it was definitely not in this way.

To Shen Yi's surprise, the Ma family dared to wrestle with the local yamen, and even directly alerted the imperial court to send someone down.

Although the people sent by the imperial court are familiar with Chen Fuzun, since the imperial court sent people down, it means that the Ma family and these grain merchants have alarmed the imperial court in a short period of time and tried their best to cover up the matter of Chen Fuzun. It was easy to stab the court, and the court had to deal with it.

After several imperial envoys entered the city, Shen Yi did not continue to wait and see, but walked towards Ganquan Academy with his hands behind his back.

The gate for the imperial envoys to enter the city happened to be the west gate of Jiangdu, and the Ganquan Academy was also in the west of the city, so it was almost time to walk for a stick of incense.

"It seems that Yang Xiangguo behind the prefect Chen's position is unstable."

Shen Yi thought to himself.

Although this kind of court event has nothing to do with him now, but through this incident, he still got a glimpse of the court situation.

Behind Chen Fuzun is the current prime minister in the imperial court. Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for local gentry to dare to oppose Chen Fuzun, but now the grain merchants like Ma Yuanwai dare!
The reason behind this is definitely not because Ma Yuanwai is passionate, or believes that victory belongs to justice, it must be that he has the support of the person behind him, or simply got the instruction of that person.

In other words, someone in the court was trying to attack, or test, that Yang Xiangguo.

"Forget it, don't think about him."

Shen Yi secretly said in his heart: "I'm almost 16 years old now. Even if I pass the exams, I have to be at least 20 years old to be a Jinshi and enter the officialdom. In four years, the little emperor will also be in charge. Maybe this Yang Xiangguo will be in charge by then." He's already retired."

Thinking of this, Shen Yi looked back at the direction Chen Fuzun was going away.

"Chen Fuzun, stay strong."

Shen Qilang said in a low voice: "If you can't hold on, you might as well get out of office early, don't drag me down..."

Shen Yi must take the exam.

And if Chen Yu hadn't been dismissed by the court this time, he would have worked in Jiangdu for more than four years.

Shen Yi can take the exam one or two years later and avoid Feng Lu, the county lord, but it is impossible to avoid Chen Yu, the mansion lord, five years later. It was Chen Yu, the magistrate, who admitted him.

Once Chen Yu admits Shen Yi, then when we meet again in the future, Shen Yi will be called a teacher.

Although in order to weaken the civil official group, Chen Guo issued a document to prohibit this form of master-apprentice, which made this kind of teacher not as deep as the Ming Dynasty's fetters, but it still exists more or less. If Chen Yu suddenly collapsed after admitting Shen Yi, Even if Shen Yi is not implicated, his official career in the future will become more rough.

When he was thinking wildly, Ganquan Academy was already in front of him, and when Shen Yi was still in a trance, a voice brought him back to his senses.

"Junior Brother Shen, where have you been? The head of the mountain is looking for you in the morning."

Shen Yi woke up from the trance, looked up, and found that it was a student who was in the same class as him, who entered the school half a year earlier than him, and was regarded as his senior brother.

Shen Yi hurriedly cupped his hands, and said: "Brother Jiang, I know, I'm going to see the head of the mountain."

Senior Brother Jiang smiled kindly at Shen Yi: "Junior Brother Shen is now running to the mountain chief twice in three days, which is really enviable. Maybe he will be accepted by the mountain chief at any time, and he will reach the sky in one step."

"Brother was joking."

Shen Yi shook his head, and said quite modestly: "I have no achievements and no name, how can I have the qualifications to worship under the head of the mountain."

During this period of time, the master-student relationship between Shen Yi and Master Lu has already existed. The reason why there is no "name" is because none of the scholars and masters in Ganquan Academy can really worship under Lu Anshi's sect. If Master Lu accepts Shen Yi as a white body, it will make other people in the academy dissatisfied.

It's all right to accept a white body, the key is whether Shen Yi can win the fame, no one can say for sure, if Shen Yi fails in the county examination in the future, the status of Lu Anshi's disciple will only make him suffer more criticism, and will also make him suffer. Master Lu was talked about.

Only after Shen Yi is selected as a scholar in the future will he have the possibility of becoming a disciple of Lu Anshi.

But now, it doesn't matter whether he has a status or not, Shen Yi only needs this master-apprenticeship.

Called by "teacher", Shen Yi naturally rushed to the door of Lu Anshi's study, and knocked on the door: "Sir, are you looking for a student?"

There was no response from the study, and after a while, Lu Anshi's voice came out: "Come in."

Only then did Shen Yi push the door open, and cupped his hands to Mr. Lu, "Sir."

Lu Anshi put down the brush in his hand, looked up at Shen Yi, and asked, "I couldn't find you in the academy early in the morning. I heard from your teacher that you didn't spend much time in the academy these days and went to the city to do bad things again." gone?"

"Mister made fun of it."

Shen Yi shook his head, and said helplessly: "Students are not the kind of people who cause trouble. They don't go to the city to do bad things for no reason. They went to the city these two days to settle down a few beggars who helped the students a few days ago. "

After saying this, Shen Yi told the story of Xu Fu and the beggars, and then said: "The disciple found a place for them, and after a few days when they settle down, the student will find a way to let them have a place to live." To make a living, to survive in Jiangdu."

After listening to Shen Yi's words, Lu Anshi was silent for a while, and sighed slightly: "It's rare, at such a young age, you have the kindness to help others."

"Students are weak, at most they can help a group of five or six beggars."

Lu Anshi nodded silently, and said: "Then you have to work harder on your studies. Only by studying and becoming an official can you have the possibility to rule the world and save the common people."

Master Lu was very persistent in taking exams. At this time, he felt that Shen Yi, who had been out frequently recently, was a little lazy in learning, so he asked to persuade him to study.

Shen Yi bowed his head and said yes, and then asked: "Sir, I don't know what the reason for calling the students here..."

Lu Anshi stretched out his hand to open an old book, and said, "The old man received a letter from the capital, saying that the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to investigate the causes and consequences of Jiangdu's grain prices."

Shen Yi bowed his head and said: "The students just saw it. This morning, two imperial envoys entered Jiangdu City from Jiangdu Xicheng, and followed Fu Zun to the magistrate's yamen."

Master Lu snorted disdainfully.

"They are all sent by Yang Jingzong. Naturally, they are in cahoots with Chen Yu. If you expect them to investigate, what can they find?"

After saying this, Master Lu looked at Shen Yi, his face became serious.

"Shichiro."

Shen Yi bowed his head: "The students are here."

"Since the imperial court sent people to Jiangdu, it means that Yang Jingzong has also received some pressure from the imperial court. Jiangdu is no longer simply a rise in food prices. Behind this is the people in Jiankang who are fighting."

"Things in the court hall are too complicated and heavy for you now. Next, you can study in the academy at ease, and don't get involved in it."

Speaking of this, Master Lu paused, and continued: "As for the Ma family you want to deal with."

The Jiangzuo Confucian had a low voice.

"This time, good and evil are rewarded."
