Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

This was the end of Mrs. Guan's divorce. Later, it didn't matter whether she and Guan Shan reconciled or were divorced. She posted the divorce note on Hefeng Tower in front of everyone, and everyone knew that she had divorced her husband. .

But the end of their affair has planted a seed in the hearts of women all over the world, and this seed is slowly taking root and sprouting. Afterwards, women often post divorce letters to Hefeng Tower to express their stance and vent the injustice.

In the blink of an eye, it's June, and candidates from all over the country are gathering in Shengjing to prepare for the exams in autumn and August.

Five students from Banshan Academy in Zhushui County participated in the spring exam. Among them, Xie Si passed the exam. Liu Yunxiang and Yan Mu expected it, but what they didn't expect was that Zhuzi also passed the exam.

It was inconvenient for Liu Yunxiang and Yan Mu to show up, so Fang Wanjin took care of them and arranged their residence.

"Zhuzi and I came to the capital. We should visit Mr. Yan and my wife's home. You can take us there tomorrow." Xie Si said to Fang Wanjin.

Fang Wanjin was cracking melon seeds and laughed when he heard this, "Sir and Mistress, please focus on preparing for the exam, and we will talk about other matters after the exam."

"Etiquette is indispensable," Xie Si insisted.

Fang Wanjin thought that they lived in the palace, so anyone could visit them. At first, he didn't know their identities. His wife arranged for him to go to Lingyun Grain Shop, which was owned by the Queen Mother. After they contacted each other and made some insinuations about the grain shop clerk, he guessed it.

At that time, he was so scared that he didn't sleep all night.

"It's not convenient for you, sir and mistress, right now. You should be obedient and prepare well for the test."

Another month passed, and Liu Yunxiang showed up on the day of the examination.

She patted Xie Si and Zhuzi on the shoulders and told them something so that they should not be nervous.

"When you come out of the examination room, my husband and I will congratulate you."

When Xie Si heard this, he scratched his head and said, "Let's wait until the results are released. I'm afraid you two will be disappointed."

"No, if you don't pass the exam this year, we will fight again in three years. It's no big deal. You are still young, so you are not afraid of another three years."

Watching the two of them enter the examination room, Liu Yunxiang pulled Fang Wanjin aside.

"Nuo, have you seen that big drum? The King of Zhenbei will come to play the drum later. He will be followed by civil and military officials. Then you rush up to complain. Only in this way can you cause a sensation and gain the attention of the court. Only then can we Reason to intervene in this matter."

Fang Wanjin looked at the people on the inner and outer three floors, excluding the guards. He thought that later a layer of guards would be added to protect King Zhenbei. He subconsciously touched his head, fearing that he would not be able to rush in.

"Don't worry, someone will push you to the front during the chaos." Liu Yunxiang whispered.

Fang Wanjin nodded, "I'm relieved."

"Not afraid?"

"There is nothing to be afraid of." Fang Wanjin looked at Liu Yunxiang and smiled narrowly, "You are the Queen Mother, and your husband is the King of Zhenbei. With you two supporting me, I can just rush forward boldly." Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Exactly."

After waiting for a while, the King of Zhenbei arrived with all his officials. When he walked to the big drum and was about to beat the drum, Fang Wanjin rushed out with a bang.

His move immediately caused a commotion, but by the time everyone reacted, he had already rushed in, holding the petition in his hand, and shouted loudly: "I want to sue the Queen Mother and the King of Zhenbei. They don't care about the life or death of our people. They should Relinquish the throne and make way for the next person!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the spot was shocked.

The ministers knew the status of the Queen Mother and the King of Zhenbei in Da Rong, and the people knew even better. However, this person who appeared out of nowhere actually sued these two people and threatened to ask them to abdicate in favor of others.

Yan Mu turned around and looked at Fang Wanjin below, his eyes darkening.

Who taught him to shout like that? Abdication to make way for someone more worthy?

Some ministers reacted and quickly asked the guards to take the man down. Seeing that he was still shouting, they quickly asked the guards to gag him first.

"Let him shout!" Yan Mu shouted sternly, "I would like to hear why he sued me and the Queen Mother."

"Your Highness, why don't we send him to Jingzhao Mansion and listen to what he has to say."

"He has spoken out his words, and the people have heard it. If he is sent to the government in a daze, won't the people think that this king has really done something shameful?"

"This……"

"I haven't done anything, so I'm not afraid of him saying it to my face!"

Since the King of Zhenbei said this, the other ministers stopped saying anything, and everyone was really curious about why the young man sued the Queen Mother and the King of Zhenbei.

As the gate of Gongyuan closed, the people not only did not disperse, but gathered more and more.

"You, tell me, I am listening." Yan Mu looked at Fang Wanjin and said.

Fang Wanjin was not afraid at first, but it was probably the pressure from a superior person. Even if he knew that this person was his husband, he still couldn't help feeling awe. He swallowed first, and then said: "A grassroots man from Zhushui County, Yangzhou, whose surname is Fang Wanjin, is a student of Banshan Academy. Because he is a businessman, he cannot participate in the imperial examination held by the imperial court, and the imperial examination is to enter the official career. the only path."

Having said this, Fang Wanjin raised his head and faced the King of Zhenbei and the officials, "Scholars, peasants, industrialists, and merchants, we merchants are not criminals. Why are we inferior to others? Why can't we take the imperial examination? I want to sue the Queen Mother and Zhenbei King, they are the ones in power, but they don’t speak up for us business people, they are not worthy of sitting in that high position!”

After these words were spoken, everyone was silent for a while.

After that, an old minister came forward, pointed at Fang Wanjin and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? It was a law established since the founding of the country that merchants could not take part in the imperial examination. The court has its own considerations. How dare you question the national law and slander the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother?" The King of Zhenbei must be punished for his crime!"

"I'm not afraid of death!" Fang Wanjin shouted back: "Have you forgotten Xu Jingyu back then?" (End of Chapter)
