Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter 127: Grateful for the emperor’s favor, he served as a lone minister and followed the sagely Taoist teaching platform.
As soon as Tian Wenjing returned to the yamen, he immediately called Li Hongsheng, the head of the prison yamen team, and without entering the room, he stood in the dark in the courtyard and ordered: "Send someone to the academy to inform Master Bi and Master Qian that I have returned." , leave a few people to see what Mr. Zhang will do, and ask the two masters to come back to discuss the matter. You go to the post house in person to report to Prince Zhibao, saying that the governor's Yamen people have withdrawn, and the general secretary has also withdrawn. Please give instructions to Prince Bao, Can I go over now to say hello and tell the prince that Wen Jing will definitely take care of this matter!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Li Hongsheng agreed repeatedly.Tian Wenjing ignored him and went straight into the signing room.Several soldiers hurriedly followed in and saw that there was only one candle lit in the room. When he was preparing to light the lantern, Tian Wenjing waved his hand and said: "All the lanterns have been mentioned in the academy. This glass lamp was given by the emperor. It cannot be lightly Use it. One more candle will be enough. Pour me a cup of tea and you guys can get out."

Everyone knew that he had a bad temper, so they all retreated silently.Tian Wenjing breathed out a heavy breath and lay down on the easy chair. His joints all over his body felt sore, numb and sleepy, and his liver and diaphragm felt like needle pricks from time to time.He turned back and took out a few books, put them under his sides and pressed them against his liver. When he saw on the table the newspaper that had been transferred from the capital that day, he took it out.After reading a page, the first item was that the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development listed the number of acres of reclaimed land in each province.Henan has 27 acres, which is impressively No. 1, but the Ministry of Revenue added a note at the end: "According to the provincial vassal office, the number has not been verified. It needs to be investigated." There is also a note from the Ministry of Punishment. , it is said that Zhang Xingqiu of Henan Zhensi Yamen, privately and Neihuang County Ren Lianbin killed a person, was ordered to "join the Ministry of Punishment and Henan Inspector Ke Ying to verify the facts and report this."Then there is a piece of praise for Li Wei, saying that the Yellow River in the south of the Yangtze River has been drained by the dikes, and it has smoothly passed through the cauliflower flood. 30 acres of farmland can be dried up that year. It also adds a note: "This year's cauliflower flood, there are no floods in the provinces along the Yellow River, except There was a slight collapse at the junction of Henan and Anhui. With the approval of the military aircraft, the two provinces sent personnel to inspect, clarify the responsibilities, and close the dragon within a time limit."It is obvious at a glance that the common practice in officialdom is to "look at the family members of the imperial family through the cracks in the imperial newspaper." In the six departments, if someone has a high hat, he will give it to others, and if there is a urinal, he will put it on his head. Tian Wenjing was so angry that he crumpled the imperial newspaper into a ball and threw it on the ground. .

"Dong Weng, are you sulking again?"

Bi Zhenyuan's voice came from outside the door.Tian Wen didn't bother to raise his camera, and only glanced at Bi Zhenyuan and Qian Du, who had just come in, and said, "You are back, sit down?" Bi Zhenyuan leaned over to pick up the newspaper, carefully unfolded the ball of paper, Tian Wenjing and Qian Du sat diagonally across from Tian Wenjing and said with a smile: "You can't throw this away. You have to record it and return it!" Tian Wenjing sneered and said: "Some provinces can't even return the sacred edict of secret folding and Zhubi. This shabby mansion What’s the big deal about reporting! What is Zhang Xingren doing? Is he still preaching there?”

"Yes." Seeing Bi Zhenyuan concentrating on reading the newspaper, Qian Du bowed respectfully and replied, "When Wansheng and Master Bi were leaving, Zhang Xuetai was still giving lectures on the steps at the entrance of the academy. He advised the scholars to go back to their homes in peace and take the exam on time tomorrow. . Those who should not take the exam will be disqualified as students. Those who disobey the constitution and cause trouble will be arrested and handed over to the Yamen for strict punishment. I think the scholars are a little unable to stand it, and they are whispering among themselves, not knowing what to say. "Tian Wenjing relaxed his overly nervous mood, stroked his furry forehead and sighed without saying anything.Bi Zhenyuan laughed from the side and said: "No wonder the crowd of young people rose up. The emperor has already set off for Fengtian. The Thirteenth Master is seriously ill and can no longer handle affairs at all."

Tian Wenjing grabbed the newspaper back to his residence, and sure enough, he saw the first article on the second residence newspaper: "The Holy Master will drive to Fengtian to worship his ancestors on the 26th of April, and Prince Rui will greet him in advance. According to the third elder brother, the Jin Dynasty was prosperous. The prince of the county is temporarily acting as director of Prince Bao Hongli. Liu Tiecheng, Dagruwu, Zhang Wuge, Delengtai and other guards are accompanying him. Zhang Tingyu is staying in the capital. Ortai Zhu Shi and the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, Longmingtang, are rushing to go." Looking down, the Di newspaper also said: "Prince Yi Yunxiang has been suffering from a long-lasting illness and has resigned to serve as the Minister of the Study and the Minister of the Military Aircraft Department. According to the order: Liu Yinhe, the doctor of Taiyuan Hospital, led twelve imperial doctors to spend the night After looking at the pulse and regulating the care, Yun Xiangzi Hongjiao was granted the title of Ningjun Prince, and he entered the military aircraft on duty. Prince Yi, a loyal minister who retired with the country, must not leave his post in one day. The body is not strong, so it is okay to lie down and entrust him. I admire this !" There were also memorials from several provincial officials densely packed below.However, the memorial to deal with important local cases was refuted by Yongzheng, and a separate memorial was issued to explain the reasons. Tian Wenjing did not bother to read it, put the newspaper on the table, and asked: "Prince Bao has been in other provinces for a long time, and now he is in vain. Is there any article here about Prince Sheng? Prince Bao’s excerpts haven’t been published for a long time. Yesterday, the Di newspaper reported that Longkodo had a meeting with Rakshasa in the Altai Mountains, and withdrew the imperial envoys to discuss the border issues, and immediately returned to Beijing to listen to the ministry. Strict discussion. Li Fu reported that there are still people from the Aqina clan who come to Baoding to kneel down and pay respects, and ask for orders to deal with it. In summary, if the government fails, what kind of turmoil will there be? You advise me not to take Aqina to be imprisoned in Henan. Look, It's the right thing to do. I'm actually not afraid of people checking my government affairs. What I'm afraid of is falling into the 'Party Struggle' and not being able to get out - they can't trap me into the 'Baye Party' to punish me, right?"

"There are too many worries about making the platform." Seeing Tian Wenjing and the trees and grass all in disgrace, Qian Bi and Qian Bi both smiled.Bi Zhenyuan said: "The overall situation of the two major cases of Aqina and Longkodo has been decided. I advise you not to let the eighth master come to Henan, because you are afraid that he will not be able to serve you when he comes. If the tofu falls into the ash nest, it will not be blown. You can't beat him. Originally, Taipei has a mean name. If he dies of illness or commits suicide, you can't explain it even with a hundred words. You are the one who brought down Nuo Min, who belonged to Nian Gengyao. A close confidant, you have a close relationship with Longkodo. You and Aqina are even more unrelated - if you want to get involved with the Eighth Master, those censors and the adults in the six tribes will have already blown up. We have all started to attack, why have we waited until today?" Tian Wenjing also felt that he was too suspicious, and said with a smile: "I am afraid of others, I feel that people are always making things difficult for me, in everything, everywhere." Qian Du said : "You are too tired. Since you still have to wait for the letter from the academy, you might as well take a nap on this chair. Master Bi and I will prepare a plan for you next door. If you need anything, just call us."

Tian Wenjing was so aroused by the words just now that he was no longer sleepy. He looked at the ceiling with sharp eyes and said: "Since we are drafting the manuscript, let's stay in this room. I will rest on mine, and you can discuss yours - I am the one who wrote the manuscript written by Master Qian." It’s okay to read it once, but some parts seem to be unclear in explanation. Your Majesty cannot tolerate any ambiguity. I’ll read it after you think about it.”

Bi Zhenyuan silently took the memorial manuscript handed over by Qian Du and held it under the lamp to read. Qian Du took the manuscript paper and saw that there was not much ink left in the inkstone, so he poured some water into the teacup and began to grind the ink.Amidst the loud sound of grinding the inkstone, Tian Wenjing's heart gradually calmed down.It was only after the case of Shanxi's false declaration of a deficit in the first year of Yongzheng's reign that he and Emperor Yongzheng had a real "impact meeting".Over the past few years, I have figured out the master's character. In fact, there are only two most important things: one is loyalty. Follow Yongzheng in doing things, and you are not afraid of making mistakes. The worst thing you are afraid of is having to cover up your mistakes; even if you do the right thing, if Yongzheng feels that If you are sensationalizing, it is better not to do it.The second is to manage achievements, and we must follow the emperor's idea of ​​"revitalizing the decadent trend of hundreds of years and refreshing the administration of officials."No matter how sweet your mouth is, if you try to prevaricate him, he will still slap you.Yongzheng's ears and eyes were really powerful. Not to mention high-ranking officials like himself, even some petty officials as big as mustard seeds knew the government affairs very well.On New Year's Day last year, Tian Wenjing came to Beijing to congratulate him. The Shandong feudal lord participated in the revolution against Cao Xueming, the magistrate of Jimo County, and was scolded bloody by Yongzheng in front of several governors.He would never forget the mean and sarcastic look on Yongzheng's face at that time: he looked back with his hands behind his back, as if he was about to turn the vassal tower upside down, and the words in his mouth were like knives: "Why did Cao Xueming offend you, Ha Li Ke?" ?Must be crowded to death? I think it was your mother's birthday, and he only sent two packs of snacks, or there may be other reasons. You said that in his poem, "Looking at the bright moon over the mountain" is a reminder of your mother's birthday. Qian Ming, what kind of crime is "the spring breeze and the bright moon are always pleasant" in your poem? The name of "Xue Ming" is also a crime! It is really easy to add desire to the crime without words. Your name is "Li Ke", what is "Li"? Do you deserve to be loyal to the king and treat your subordinates with sincerity? Go back and tell Cao Xueming to temporarily take over the post of Jimo County Magistrate with the title of magistrate. Your Majesty will have other orders after seeing him. You can show his sincerity to him face to face. It's not an honest mistake - listen, if you dare to accuse someone like this again, I will hand you over to the Ministry for prosecution!" Yongzheng's cold and gloomy words are still in his ears, and Harik almost fainted from the scolding. The scene was still appearing and disappearing in front of him... The lights exploded, Tian Wenjing glanced at it, then fell into deep thought again, and the scene when he made his speech appeared in front of him again.Qiao Yindi held a plate and stood beside the gauze drawer in the Danning House. Yong Zheng wiped his face with a hot towel and said in a heavy and hoarse tone:
"Yi Guang, you have to go back and endure hardship again."

...What did you say?At that time, my heart was in chaos, my throat was choked, and I couldn't remember clearly what I said. "I know it's hard for you to do things while guarding against people's plotting. In fact, it's the same for me. No, there's someone behind the scenes who is trying to take away the imperial power. I'll try my best to be considerate. Otherwise, others won't. If he takes me as emperor, he has no choice but to let him. It's going to rain, my mother is getting married, and I have no choice but to tie the knot after so many years. I don't care what my descendants will think of me as 'Yongzheng Ye'. There is an old saying. "Literary ministers will die for admonishment, and soldiers will die for war." They all talk about loyal ministers. In fact, I don't appreciate "loyal" ministers. The country is in chaos, loyal ministers are born, the situation is in danger, loyal ministers are born, and the emperor is confused, loyal ministers are born. What a good thing! What I appreciate is "lonely" ministers. Minister' - in the midst of hardships and hardships, in the midst of thorns and thorns, he served the master sincerely, regardless of gains and losses, and was moved by his forbearance. He broke his front teeth and swallowed blood, and created an unparalleled feat. Even if he was misunderstood for a moment, he could still be isolated. Standing out from the crowd - this is a real man, a real man. I came out as a solitary minister, endured humiliation and humiliation, and withstood ambushes from all sides, and finally made the Holy Ancestor recognize me. Although I don't want to be in this big position, old man It's better to deliver these tens of thousands of dollars of letters to me. In fact, Ertai is in Yunnan and Guizhou, and Li Wei is in Jiangnan. Isn't it obvious to all eyes and pointed to by thousands of hands? He was already struggling in a difficult situation to do errands for me and fought back. Do I doubt him again and mistreat him? Therefore, the more people criticize him, the more cautious I will be in dealing with him, just for fear that there will be some lonely ministers inside who will be destroyed by others. I dare not betray the entrustment of the Holy Ancestor, and I will work hard to save the world. Cured, what are you going to do with those slaves who are surrounded by sunshine, who are like pugs with glazed eggs and are sycophants of good people?"

...Thinking of this, Tian Wenjing was enlightened, and his mind suddenly became clear.Seeing Bi Zhenyuan holding his chin, frowning and thinking, he smiled and asked, "Old man Bi, you are lost in thought!"

"Oh!" Bi Zhenyuan shuddered, came to his senses, patted Qian Du's fold and said, "Wan Sheng is thinking about this fold. Brother Qian Du's writing style is impeccable, and the Fang family's skills are flawless. I just want to , such a matter-of-fact defense is not of enough weight anyway." Qian Du was a junior master who was a middle-aged scholar. He was extremely shrewd and clever. People from the governor's office gave him the nickname "Qian Guizi". After hearing what Bi Zhenyuan, the number one master, said, He didn't mind and said with a smile: "Then please ask Old Master Bi for advice." Bi Zhenyuan became Tian Wenjing's inseparable right-hand man after Wu Sidao left.Tian Wenjing also changed his former temperament of bossing his master around, treated his guests with courtesy and respect like an old master, and donated his Taoist title to Bi Zhenyuan.It's just that the government affairs are still inseparable from this loyal staff member, and he is not released to serve as an official for a while.Bi Zhenyuan immediately smiled and said: "We are discussing, not giving advice. I just read the Di newspaper, and there are many people who are dissatisfied with Taiwan. Today's report will explain it in detail, and tomorrow someone else will impeach, we will write another report and explain it in detail, It's not normal to be beaten without being able to fight back."

Tian Wenjing lowered his head and thought about it, and said: "That makes sense. However, there are not many people who dare to publicly reveal the folding of the book. Moreover, the emperor Zhu Piming wrote that he asked me to 'understand the echo', how can he shelve it? The folding book he issued The person who dug up the name of the impeacher is going to fight back again, so how should he word it?" Bi Zhenyuan said: "That's exactly what I was thinking about. The literary context and tone of this excerpt must be the handiwork of Mr. Li Julai , he is also the first-class loyal minister before the emperor. If we overthrow him, who else will dare to speak nonsense? But since the emperor has dug up his name, how difficult it is for us to choose our words! "

"This is not Li Fu's handiwork." Qian Du's mind was smart, he became a little excited, his mustache curled up and said, "We don't believe this is Li Gong's memorial."

"It must be Li Fu!" Tian Wenjing said.

"That's what I mean," Qian Du smiled slyly, "Of course it's Li Fu, but since the name has been dug out, we can pretend not to know it's him." Bi Zhenyuan said: "It's easy to pretend to be confused, but what about the words? Change?" "Make a fuss about the word 'clique'!" Qian Du's little eyes lit up, his eyes bright, he gritted his teeth and smiled and said: "You can not defend the ridiculous words in his brochures, just tell me The Emperor apologized: Because he was too eager to serve the Emperor, he did too much and offended the scholars. Well - there happened to be a boycott of the exam here, so I wrote a self-impeachment article for the Emperor to read, so he said: Although I don’t know the details Who wrote it, and the meaning of the words must be detailed, it must be a Jinshi. I offended the scholars, and the Jinshi beat them with drums, which is really what they deserved. This layer must be written with extreme sincerity, panic, and fear in the words. Then he said that his original intention was that he actually respected scholars very much, and he carefully selected talents and listed the promotion and appointment of officials with real talents and academic backgrounds. He was just worried that these people would use the name of the department to cultivate the party for personal gain and gain fame. Cai always strictly admonishes him, which is also a sign of sincerity that he hates the iron that cannot be made into steel. Finally, he explained that Taitai himself was not born as a Jinshi, and he cannot forgive officials with a professional background for their misconduct. In short, it is a good intention, but it is difficult to be known. It is a crime for a senior official to fail to judge the situation and make good friends, and to win the trust of Confucius and Mencius' disciples - I think this article should be written like this, what do you think?"

This is really a sophisticated article to reverse the verdict.Yongzheng detested the formation of cliques among his ministers, and had always hated officials with academic backgrounds who wanted to compete for Olympic aid in Panxiangzi in the same year. He made a fuss about "forming cliques for personal gain", which was indeed a clever move and did not show his integrity, so he sent Li Fu to a dead end.At the same time, scholars from Henan Province went on strike and pushed the governor's responsibility away from the government. This was all due to the conspiracy and incitement of Zhang Xingren, Ke Ying, and Ashambulo.It's really wonderful to kill several birds with one stone.Although this method has no flaws, Tian Wenjing thought carefully and found that it was definitely not an aboveboard move.Moreover, Li Fu was supported by everyone in Hubei and had a strong political reputation, just because he disagreed with the emperor's New Deal and was not included in the "model". When it came to the love in Yongzheng's heart, it was actually not under Tian Wenjing.On another level, Tian Wenjing and Li Fu had been friends in adversity before they reached the age of [-], and their vicious attack caused Shilin Qingyi's reputation among the people to be formidable.Therefore, Tian Wenjing calmed down for a while, his face became gloomy again, and he sighed: "As for Li Fu, he is not my personal enemy. He is also a decent person. This enemy is very unnecessary."

"It's not that Taiwan is trying to get rid of Li Julai," Bi Zhenyuan pondered for a moment, knowing Tian Wenjing's thoughts, and said slowly, "it's that he is determined to make things difficult for you. If the name dug up is not Li Julai, or it really is not Li Julai, why? Self-defense plan and table-making brochures should also be written like this?" Tian Wenjing felt heavy, nodded and was about to speak, but saw Li Hongsheng hurried in, and fell silent.Li Hongsheng crossed his hands and said: "The scholars have dispersed."

Tian Wenjing took a breath silently, "Where is Zhang Xuetai?"

"Already returned to the Yamen."

"Where are Qin Fengwu and Zhang Xi? Have you got them?"

"Back to the production desk, I don't know about this. The Xuetai Yamen didn't arrest anyone. They only said that the leader should be punished, and left the rest alone. Tell the scholars to enter Longmen on time tomorrow to take the exam." Tian Wenjing clapped his hands. The back of the chair stood up, with a fierce look in his eyes, and said: "It is unprecedented in the history of the Qing Dynasty to stop taking exams and disobey orders to gather people to cause trouble. It has already alarmed everyone in the court. How can we let it go without any pain? This Zhang Xingren took advantage of Zhang Tingyu's power. , What a bold move! Li Hongsheng, take a few prison officials and immediately go to the old Yinjia store at Nanshijiekou and take Zhang Xi and Qin Fengwu. The scholar in that store initiated the boycott of the examination, and he also brought the rest. Don't get on the torture device - prepare a sedan for me and go to the Xuezheng Yamen! He won't come to worship me, so I have to worship him!" His blood surged, he coughed a few times, and choked out a mouthful of blood.When Bi Zhenyuan and Qian Du came to persuade them, Tian Wenjing ignored them, held his neck and disappeared into the darkness a few steps away.

But Zhang Xingren was not in the Yamen, and Tian Wenjing rushed to the empty space.Seeing the Governor's visit at night, the Secretary of the Academic Affairs Office did not dare to neglect it. He reported, "Zhang Xuetai went out again before he returned, saying that he had gone to Prince Bao's place to get things going." After hearing this, Tian Wenjing turned around and left. , while getting on the sedan, he sternly ordered: "Stop sounding the gong, turn the sedan to the Huiji River Post House!" The bearers responded with "Oh", lifted the sedan, and walked away quickly. When they saw the red in front of the post house in the distance, When the lights are on, it’s probably just one meal.When the gatekeeper of the post house saw him getting off the sedan, he hurriedly came over and said, "It's just the right time to make the platform. The prince has just sent someone to invite him!"

"Is Zhang Xuetai inside?"

"Zhang Xuetai and Ke Zengtai are all inside to help the prince."

Tian Wenjing said nothing more, pursed his lips and went straight in.When Tian Wenjing arrived at the patio and was about to sign up, Hongli said with a smile in the room: "Wenjing? You've been in the same place almost the whole day, so don't make such a fuss. Come in!" Tian Wenjing felt nervous and angry when he heard Hongli's relaxed tone. After Yan Hong lifted the bamboo curtain and calmly walked into the room, she saw that Ke Ying and Zhang Xingren were sitting at the table. Don't turn their faces away from her. Tian Wenjing did not say hello and only gave Hongli a thousand words. The child stood aside.

"Sit down." Hongli said with a smile that couldn't hide his tiredness, "I'm in the ring with two Taiwanese bosses! It's a good time for you to come. You are the master of everything in Henan, and you have the final say. There is only one thing, it doesn’t matter if you have different views, don’t have the heart to be divided. The principle of a province is the same as that of a country. If the general and the ministers are not separated from the children, it will not be governed well. Do you think so? "

Tian Wenjing stretched the front of his official robe, and he calmed down in an instant. His memorial was actually going to cover these two people, so there was no need to get angry in front of them at this time.While thinking about it, he said with a smile: "Is it because of the boycott of the exam? I just walked over to the fourth master from the Xuetai Yamen. The scholars are making trouble, and it is not me, Tian Wenjing, who is the one to blame. After all, we are in the same boat. Otherwise Why didn't they make trouble with me instead of going to Brother Xingren?" Zhang Xingren, probably under Hongli's warning, did not want to quarrel with Tian Wenjing again. The tight muscles on his face relaxed a little, and he sighed: "I I have no personal grudges with the commander-in-chief, and the disagreement is due to official business. I came to Henan not long ago, and Xuetai is a Qingshui yamen, and there are many people who depend on the local government! How dare you offend the government casually? The culture of Henan is not strong in the first place, let alone Ding for many years. A, even a second-class Jinshi is rare. Scholars and scholars have different opinions on political affairs, so there is no harm in listening to them more? Why must we forcefully suppress the Qing Dynasty?" "They are not really a Qing Dynasty." Tian Wenjing said with a smile, "The average amount of land and taxes per mu fell on them, which made them angry and jumped out to find fault. In the former Ming Dynasty, Hai Gangfeng implemented the 'one whip' method, which also angered the big owners, and they attacked them in groups, and dismissed Hai Rui's official position. If you fail to achieve a single whipping method, you will sow the disaster of the country's destruction. A teacher who never forgets the past and the future should not take this lightly."

"The current situation is completely different from that of the Jiajing years of the Ming Dynasty. The people are different and the things are different." Ke Ying immediately said, "I don't believe it. If this Jin gentry is not used as an errand, the Qing Dynasty will be destroyed!" Hongli frowned and said: "It is the decree of the imperial court that the Jin gentry is on duty. Tian Wenjing is on duty. Ke Ying, please be careful what you say." He Ying said: "The imperial decree is natural for servants to obey. But the decree also said that the situation in each province is different, and measures must be taken according to local conditions. Henan is a poor place. The big owners don't even account for one tenth of Jiangnan. The land has been measured and divided into acres to pay for the grain. In order to cultivate the spirit of the scholar and save a little dignity for the Jin gentry family, they don't have to work as an errand. , Yutong Province’s finances are not in big trouble. It’s a trivial matter to pick two dates from three seeds, but why bother the government and the people and make everyone feel uncomfortable?”

Tian Wenjing already knew that Hongli had differences of opinion with them, and he suddenly became more courageous. He chuckled and said, "I don't want to quarrel with you two at all. The trouble in the Scholar Examination Court this time has a leader and a plan. It has been planned for a long time." , so the 'meditation' was also done in an orderly manner. This matter is by no means a trivial matter. It cannot be hidden from the common people, nor from the Holy Son of Heaven. Originally, we should have captured them all and dealt with them thoroughly. I gave in. Since I don't ask about the coercion, I will be the first to make figurines. It is impossible to escape Wang Zhang Guodian. When I left the trial court, I had entrusted Brother Xingren to arrest Zhang Xi, Qin Fengwu and others. I wonder if I got them?"

"No." Zhang Xingren said, "No one can be taken at the scene for fear of re-igniting the incident. After we dispersed, I sent someone to the Yin family's old store to inquire. The people in the store said that they had moved to another place three days ago - this is not What a big deal. When they entered the Longmen search tomorrow, they took it without anyone noticing." Tian Wenjing lowered his lips and sneered with unconcealed contempt: "My brother's kindness has reached the point of confusion. If Zhang Xi and Qin Fengwu If you feel you are innocent, why bother running away from the Yin family's old store? If you feel guilty, you would have gone far away by now." When he was about to go on, the doorman of the post house came in and said: "Making Taiwan, Bantou Li from the Yamen came and said that he wanted something. You know everything."

Tian Wenjing said goodbye to Hongli and came out. He was faced with a gust of cold wind carrying stars and drizzle, which made him shiver. Only then did he realize that it was already raining. When he stepped on the oiled stone corridor and came out, he saw that Li Hongsheng was already there. Waiting at the second door, he asked, "Have all the prisoners left the Yin family's old store?"

"Yes." Li Hongsheng said, "It turns out that the group of scholars who instigated the trouble had all moved out yesterday. The younger one sent people to search for stores in half the city, and got one named Huang Shixiong. He slapped his mouth a few times before asking. "It turns out -" he lowered his voice, "that Zhang Xi is from Sichuan. There is an old aunt in Shangqiu. He is a student from other provinces and came to Henan to take the exam. Qin Fengwu is from Luoyang and calls himself the 'Longmen Scholar', and Mr. Luo from Henan Prefecture and the others got along well with each other. Mr. Liang from the Xuezheng Yamen had a drink with these two three days ago, and then they moved."

"You mean, Qin and Zhang are hiding in Xuetai Yamen now?"

"Small ones don't dare to say."

Tian Wenjing was suddenly stunned: Li Hongsheng had identified Zhang Xi and Qin Fengwu to him at the entrance of the examination hall tonight. Even if they had wings, these two people would not be able to leave Kaifeng City at this moment.If he wanted to hide, from what Li Hongsheng said, it would most likely be in Xuetai Yamen.However, the Provincial Xuetai Yamen is directly under the Ministry of Rites. Although it has no real power, its status is not lower than that of the Fantai. Without an imperial decree, how can it dare to search?It's easy to find out if he can find it, but if he can't find it, there will be another uproar. What's more terrible is that all the officials in the provincial and Taiwan government offices are enemies.Zhang and Qin may be hiding in He Ying or even Ashanbulo Yamen, which is even more impossible to search.Tian Wenjing thought for a while, and already had an idea, and said to Li Hongsheng: "Don't leave, just wait here for my order." After saying that, he turned around and hurried back to the upper room, and said to Zhang Xingren: "Zhang Xi and Qin Fengwu have fled in fear of crime. The people below say that Mr. Liang from your Yamen is hiding him. Brother Xingren happens to be here, please give me some advice."

"In my yamen?" Zhang Xingren was shocked, and his face suddenly turned as red as pig liver. He stood up, pointed outside and said loudly: "Which 'lower man'? You tell him to come in! Liang Xingde Ye Ye A person who is afraid of having his head smashed if something falls off would do such a thing?" Tian Wenjing bowed and smiled: "Young Master Xingren, don't be impatient, brother, aren't we discussing with you?" "I have nothing to say to you, I will swallow my anger. , that's enough." Zhang Xingren turned around and bowed to Hongli, and said: "Tian Wenjing is really the first sage in history. I am not worthy of being an academic official here. Fourth Master, please dismiss the student on the spot and let the man named Tian send troops to the academy. ”

His attitude was so tough, Tian Wenjing felt a little uneasy in his heart, but after all, he was a man who had faced difficulties in the sea. He chuckled and said: "Brother Xingren, I would not dare to send troops to your academy as long as there is a will." This is I didn’t mean what you said. The scholars are making trouble this time. You think it’s a small matter, but I think it’s a big matter. The only difference between you and me is this. Let’s tell the emperor exactly what happened. How can we not arrest the first culprit? Reason? I would like to discuss it with you, but you are so angry, how can you be a brother?"

"This kind of neither yin nor yang look is really disgusting." The more He Ying looked at it, the more he felt that Tian Wenjing's face was disgusting. Seeing Hongli holding the teacup and just groaning, he said loudly: "What do you want to do? , explain it clearly!" Tian Wenjing did not give in and said word by word: "I am not guilty at all. Please go back to the Yamen and clean it up yourself. This Kaifeng City has been closely monitored by my Governor's Yamen. The world is difficult when a person is three feet tall. Hide, they can’t escape my grasp after all!”

Hong Li frowned in the tense atmosphere and swallowed back his words several times.Ke Ying and Zhang Xingren sympathized with the scholar, so they might not be able to hide the main culprit. Tian Wenjing's momentum was too overwhelming.He really couldn't bear to look at this face, but Emperor Amma loved this kind of person!He had a gloomy look on his face, and just said: "You are so presumptuous! You don't consider your own status, and you yell at me. What kind of decency is this? -" There was a patter of footsteps in the rain far outside the door. Xing Jianye ran to the eaves and reported: "Fourth Master, there is a scholar outside called Qin Fengwu. He wants to see Mr. Xuetai, saying that he is the main culprit of the scholar's strike and has surrendered!"

Several people stood up together and looked at each other.Zhang Xingren's face was green and red, and Ke Ying looked at Hongli with a proud look in his eyes.Tian Wen looked embarrassed and laughed dryly: "It would be great if he surrendered." Hongli said, "This man is brave, call him in and let me take a look!"
