Chapter 1458: The Flesh of the Heart Xie Qian's words, for Ye Chunqiu, can be said to wake up a person in a dream with a word It's no wonder that when I first knew about the civil uprising, the first thing I thought of was to enter the army, but then the imperial court suddenly threw a mouse, but in fact, the essence of this matter originated from this year's examination.
This year's spring festival is about to start.
Every time the exam, there are as many as thousands of people who come to the Beijing teacher examination, because the transportation in Daming is inconvenient, many people even come all the way, and along the way, there may be accidents at any time, or because of something and delay time, so the traditional examination, for the vast majority of candidates, is a very critical thing.
Because of this, the vast majority of people who want to come to catch the exam are half a year or even a year in advance to start traveling, if they can get to Beijing early, they will stay and continue to study, anyway, it is better to come early than late.
Then a problem arises, this Jingshi is not as good as other places, for example, Ye Chunqiu's original family background, if it weren't for the large amount of silver obtained by his uncle's trading, this kind of small landlord may be considered rich in the local area, but in a place like Jingshi, where every inch of land is valuable, the little silver in his hand is not enough to spend at all.
In this way, some of the suburbs of Beijing began to eat popular, these places are closer to Beijing, but the price is much lower than Beijing, some families are not particularly wealthy, simply live in the suburban county inn temporarily, wait until the examination date comes, and then arrive in Beijing on the same day to live, so that the examination will not be delayed, but also save a lot of money.
However, there is also a difference between suburban counties and suburban counties, Shunyi is different from other places, for example, Beitongzhou is not far from Beijing, and it can be reached on the same day by boat, the problem is that it is the end point of Caoyun, it is very lively, everyone is here to study, and they are not willing to review their homework in the trouble, so the people who are preparing for the exam are unwilling to go to Beitongzhou.
As for Miyun, Huairou and other counties, but far away from Beijing, when entering Beijing, there are many inconveniences, this Shunyi is close to Beijing, commerce and trade are not developed, the price level can also bear, so naturally, it has become a gathering place for people to take the exam, it is said that when the spring is approaching, the scholars there are almost full of streets and alleys, and the old man is all over the street, and even the firewood room in the inn is willing to rent.
And now, isn't spring coming?
Many talents gathered in Shunyi, who would have thought that they would be served in a pot.
What was caught was more than 400 lifters, what kind of concept is this, the probability of lifting people to participate in the entrance examination is roughly ten to one, then these 400 lifters, it is equivalent to forty jinshi, and how many jinshi can be in the Ming Dynasty is probably only two or three hundred.
In this way, it accounts for two percent of the students who are rushing to take the exam.
At present, there are still two months to go in Chunqiu, and it is the time when the candidates gather in Shunyi the most, once something happens to these people, Daming will take the imperial examination this time, I am afraid it will become a joke.
This time, it was Xie Qian who presided over the imperial examination, Xie Qian must be in a hurry, not to mention that Xie Qian's temperament is upright, these more than 400 people are all heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and they are not showmen, these people are in the locality, but they are extremely influential people, if they are in a county, they are even a person who has to be humble in the county order, and even if they don't want to continue to take the test, they can participate in the election of officials.
To put it bluntly, these people are all reserve officials, the hearts and minds of the imperial court, and the cornerstone of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, all of these people were taken in Shunyi.
No wonder all the princes here today have such solemn faces, if it is a gamble on whether to attack or not, then this bet is a bit big.
After Ye Chunqiu finally figured out the joints in his head, he remained silent, just standing silently.
But at this time, Yang Tinghe said unhurriedly: "The thief is only afraid that because of this, he has no fear, knowing that the imperial court does not dare to send troops to suppress it, so he dares to do such a thing, in the opinion of the old man, it is better to suppress it."
Speaking of this, Yang Tinghe looked at Xie Qian and said: "Gong Xie, you have always cherished talents, and you are the chief examiner of this year's Spring Festival, so it is natural for you to care about the candidates, but right now, if the court throws a rat trap, wouldn't it be just that the thieves will grow into the momentum of the thieves, but I am afraid that these thieves will be even more unscrupulous."
What's more, I don't know what kind of wishful thinking these thieves are playing, but it is said that there are many people who are businessmen, and the current businessmen are indeed becoming more and more difficult to restrain them. ” When Zhu Houzhao heard Yang Tinghe's proposal to attack, his eyebrows stretched, he obviously thought that Yang Tinghe's proposal was deeply in line with his heart.
Xie Qian's temper was very bad, and when he saw His Majesty's expression, he knew that His Majesty was inclined to Yang Tinghe, so he couldn't help but say: "If more than 400 students all die, not only will the imperial court be laughing and generous, but it will also be criticized by others."
Your Majesty, the old minister is ordered to preside over this examination, this matter" Zhu Houzhao was afraid that Xie Qian would put pressure on him, so he deliberately looked at Li Dongyang and said, "What about Master Li, what does Master Li mean?"
Li Dongyang was a little embarrassed at this time, he was indeed a little undecided about this matter, once he resolutely attacked, once a large number of people died in this chaos, his reputation would be very likely to be affected; But if it is a rat trap, it is not decisive enough.
The cabinet is like this, when it comes to other things, it's okay to say, but once you meet a scholar, or a lot of scholars, you can't help but start to be cautious, because people are terrible, in this era, those who can speak well are often scholars, more than 400 people, how many years and classmates, how many old friends are closely related, affecting the official reputation.
After pondering for a long time, Li Dongyang said: "In the opinion of the ministers, at present, the county town will be surrounded into an iron bucket, and then speaking, those thieves are not good, since they are holding people hostage, they must have appeals to the imperial court, presumably it will not be long before their demands come, and then wait for the opportunity to move, wouldn't it be better" It sounds a little reasonable, but this is obviously an answer to the mud, Ye Chunqiu stood aside and couldn't help but be speechless.
If Liu Jian, who is easy to decisive, is here, he will never be like this.
Liu Jian is decisive, Li Dongyang is good at strategizing, Xie Qian is good at arguing, and sure enough, he is right, although Li Dongyang is smart and the city government is very deep, he is decisive, far less than Liu Jian. aa2705221:
