Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 387 Surrender?

"Snapped"!
A harsh and resounding slap came from the study in the main hall of Yang's mansion.

"Father!"

"master!"

"master!"

Three surprised cries sounded at the same time.

Yang Shenbai's cheeks, which were tenderly applied with powder and had always been carefully maintained, turned red in an instant, and the new peony flower on his head was tilted aside.

Flower language of peony flower: Reluctant, affectionate love.

It is generally used as a gift for lovers, lovers, and people in secret love, representing love at first sight for her (him), and implying a promise of love.

Liu Mianmian, the oiran of Zuixiang Pavilion, specially put the hairpin on Yang Shen's head. Liu Mianmian is full of talent. Fang had to hang down.

Yang Shen's special encounter has attracted the covetousness of all the nobles.

"Father!"

Yang Shen couldn't help but screamed again, with grievances in his eyes, I felt pity.

He didn't seem to believe that his father, who had always loved him, would really hit him with such force.

He has been known as a child prodigy since he was eight years old, and he has done his best for his father and the Yang family.

After his father Yang Tinghe arrived in the capital, he was even more famous in the capital for his literary talents. He took the scientific examinations all the way, and the county, government and township examinations were easy for him.

After passing the provincial examination, the prediction of the future number one scholar even made him the crown of Jinghua. Many people asked when he would take the examination, just to avoid his edge.

Although his father Yang Tinghe was unsmiling, even though he pretended not to care about the compliments from outsiders, only he knew how proud Yang Ting and Yang Ge were at home.

It was his first time to participate in the examination, and he was sure to win the first prize, but his father felt that he was not hot enough, and asked him to wait for the next time to participate. After all, his son Yang Tinghe had already preached that he would win the first prize.

Yang Shen didn't take it seriously, it was only when he got to the examination room that he realized that Jiang is old and spicy.

The amount of exam questions is so large, even though he used his power advantage to know in advance who will be the examiner, and persuaded that person to be the teacher in advance, and asked him to help point out the "key points".

And the test questions did show those important points, but he was not proficient in palm reading after all, and he was not very satisfied with the answers to two questions.

As a result, because I was too excited, the more I wrote and modified the paper, the dirtier it became.The test paper is very important for the Ming Dynasty's scientific examination. No matter how good your writing is, if the test paper is not good enough, you will not get a high score.

If you change the test paper again, there will be no time to transcribe it!

Yang Shen's mentality collapsed a bit!

Think about a child prodigy who grew up surrounded by stars, who is sure to be the number one, and who has a bad exam, think about what kind of vision those people will have...

With a bang, the candle fell down, and the test paper burned instantly...

A great talent in the capital, the old aristocratic son of Yang Ge who has the talent of the top scholar, will burn the test paper, causing an uproar for a while.

Could it be that someone is jealous...

The imperial court attached great importance to it, and even sent special personnel to check the situation. All candidates from the same class who were competitive with Yang Shen were examined, and some invigilators were also brought in for questioning.

It's just that there is no evidence, and the result is naturally nothing.

When something like this happened, Yang Tinghe just looked at the son he worked hard to cultivate for a long time, and then said in a deep voice:

"Study hard! Next time..."

"Next time, the son will definitely live up to his father's expectations!"

Yang Shen lowered his head and promised earnestly.

Later, the Han family's incident occurred, and the matter became serious, and the two masters of the Han family came to find Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe didn't think it was a big deal and just let Huang Tong handle it.

In his opinion, as long as a man can gain a foothold in scientific research and court, everything else is trivial.

Although the new daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, is not a lady of the family, her natal family's status as a salt merchant is also a blessing!

It's just a dike of a thousand miles, collapsing in an ant's nest.

No one expected that this matter would have such a strong stamina!

"Xiu'er, it seems that this old man loves you too much, and cultivated your unscrupulous and unscrupulous character. I am careful every step of the way, and I am exhausted. I don't want to spoil my son, but I want to spoil my son. A loving father often loses his son..."

Yang Tinghe sat down on the chair slumped.

"Father, we didn't take the initiative to start this matter at all. If we want to investigate, we must first investigate the Han family. It has nothing to do with us..."

Yang Shen argued strongly.

"Shut up! You idiot! The brothers of the Han family have already surrendered, and then Lu Maocai has your letter of recommendation for Xiangyang Xuezheng in his hand, and the recommendation letter you took from me for the promotion of the boss of the Han family! You and I have long been unable to argue! Idiot, Now it’s not you who murdered Mrs. Han, but you and I cheating in the scientific examination. This is an enemy of the world’s students, and you still..."

Before Yang Tinghe finished speaking, he staggered backwards!
"master!"

"master!"

"Father!"

"Quick! Go and call the doctor! No! Let the imperial doctor come over!"

Mrs. Yang shouted hysterically.

……

"You said Yang Tinghe fell down?"

In the Qing Palace, Qin Shao, dressed in a yellow python robe, sat on a chair and sipped tea leisurely.

"Our informant reported that it was true. Huang Tong went to find a doctor, and then went to the Imperial Hospital to call Imperial Doctor Li! After a whole night of tossing, it seems that he had received many needles, and he seems to have woken up now!"

Wang Yin replied.

"Ah, still awake? It seems that the stamina is still not strong enough. Let Zhang Cong contact Nanjing Guie, and you have someone to contact Mao Bowen and Zhu Youxi. It should be lively and lively, and help Mr. Yang Ge!"

"Yes!"

……

The students in the capital are discussing whether to reproduce the cheating case in the 12th year of Hongzhi's scientific examination.

A large number of students suddenly appeared in Nanjing, Kaifeng in Henan Province, Xiangyang in Huguang and other places and took to the streets, holding banners: demand fairness and impartiality in scientific examinations, transparent admissions, and oppose fraud and black-box operations.

The mouth and pen of a scholar are knives and guns!
At the beginning, only a small number of people took to the streets, and many things, with the leader, started to start a prairie fire!
Decades of hard study, no!Some people even study hard for most of their lives and fail to get ahead. After years of hard work, there is no hope. Many people have nowhere to vent, knowing that someone can easily get what they can't get through hard work.

It doesn't matter if you are unwilling!It doesn't matter if it's jealousy or cynicism!
Anyway, that kind of righteous indignation and anger poured out in an instant, and some people shouted and gave speeches to the point where they were sad and crying, and they burst into tears!
The sad atmosphere made many young students worry about their future. This kind of situation suddenly appeared on the road of scientific research that was full of hope. The kind of innocence seemed to be destroyed suddenly by others like a dream that was about to be completed. That kind of anger Spit out soon!

People gather more and more!
At first, it was only the capital, but later many students from other places also started to participate.

At first they were students, and later their family members also joined in!
You must know that supplying a student is basically a slanted investment of all the family property for ordinary people, and your own investment will be in vain, how can you bear it?
Local government officials wanted to send people to suppress them when there were few people at the beginning, but as the crowd got bigger and bigger, many people were even relatives and friends they knew!

You must know that these people are different from those poor peasant households. The families that can support their students to study are basically relatively wealthy families. Which of the local wealthy gentry does not have children to study?
The unfairness of scientific research also endangers the interests of local big households. Naturally, this cannot be tolerated?
There are more and more people. If we keep suppressing it, if it arouses public anger, even if it is controlled, the political career of local officials will be over!

All that can be done is to appease and report in time.

Zhang Jian, the magistrate of Henan, also came from a hard-educated background. It is not easy to get into his current position. Now he has just taken office as the magistrate of Henan for the third year, and it is a headache to encounter such a thing.

He originally wanted to make some achievements in Yudi, so that he could use these to enter the Shangjing circle.

Hearing the gathering of the students, it has already become an ant on the hot pot.

"Brother Ru Li (Mao Bowen's word)! You have to help me find a way! If we continue to make trouble here, I'm worried that something will go wrong!"

Zhang Jian found Mao Bowen to find a way.

Although Mao Bowen was only the supervisor of Yushi in Yudi, Zhang Jian had heard of Mao Bowen's outstanding ability in leading troops and deploying troops during the rebellion period, and admired him extremely.

This person is not too old, but standing there, he has a calm and commanding momentum.

Some people are born with the ability to gather people, and Mao Bowen is like this.

Since Zhang Jian took office, he has had a good relationship with Mao Bowen, and they often discuss some issues with each other.

"Isn't that easy for you?"

Mao Bowen laughed.

"What's simple? Don't be tricky! Find a way for me!"

Zhang Jian said anxiously.

When there were few people at the beginning, he thought that someone was picking things up, so just catch a few leaders.

Now there are more and more people, and he knows that the leader seems to be the son of a certain official, and he has connections in the capital, this... This is difficult!

Also, there are more and more people at the moment. If he really arrests people, he is very afraid of arousing public anger. What should we do if it really causes chaos?
His three-year assessment time is coming soon, can he not be so unlucky!
"Brother Zhang, it's justifiable for students to parade in the street!"

"I know……"

"Now that you know, when I heard that you took the exam for a scholar, it was because it had nothing to do with it. You were jealous of a certain official son, and there was almost no one to guarantee it. Thanks to an old scholar who sympathized with you and gave you a chance! And you at the time You should have been assigned to be the magistrate in a wealthy place in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but because no one recommended you, even though you have made great achievements in the county, you were still assigned to a remote place, and it took you many years to get to the magistrate of Henan Province..."

"Brother Mao, these... I have told you many times, what are you doing now? I want you to think about how to calm down those students..."

"Brother Zhang, why haven't you understood what I mean? Why did those students gather together? Why were they so excited? Why were they filled with righteous indignation? After all, they were treated unfairly! Some people operated in secret instead of their efforts! You were also a victim back then, so you should feel the same way as them! Why don’t you tell those students about your experience, understand it with emotion, and move it with reason! Let them resonate, then their emotions..."

"This... then what's next?"

"The next step is of course to report! It's not you who caused the students to parade and anger, how can you bear the blame? Don't forget, the new emperor just came to power..."

"But...but that's Mr. Yang Ge..."

"What does that have to do with you? You have no grievances with Mr. Yang Ge, it's just that there is a problem in the local area, and you are just doing your duty! What's more, if such a big thing happens, the cabinet must solve the problem, otherwise it will stay... ..."

"Ah! Thank you, Brother Mao, thank you for your kindness! I...I'm leaving first!"

Zhang Jian paused for a moment, patted his head, and ran away in a hurry!
The next day, when the students shouted slogans and paraded the streets with flags again, a classic scene appeared.

I saw the prefect of Henan sitting on the steps where they gathered, crying loudly.

The noisy students were suddenly stunned!
This is the majestic prefect who has always been majestic!

Someone couldn't see it, and went to help the prefect Zhang Jian to ask why.

With snot and tears, Zhang Jian talked about his tortuous road to study and examination for many years, and all the sadness of being an official with no one in the court and no background. shed tears.

"Everyone! Everyone! I, Zhang Jian, also came from a poor background. I have been through many years of scientific examinations! I know that studying is not easy, and cheating and operating behind the scenes is the greatest injustice and insult to us Ming students! It's just that we have worked hard for many years. Bad people take advantage of it, and our years of painstaking efforts may be ruined!"

"Then... the magistrate, what should we do? Now the most... the most authoritative people in the court are like this, we... what is our way out? We don't speak up for ourselves, can we just endure this?"

"Everyone, don't be impatient. I will naturally... naturally report this matter to the imperial court! Now that the new emperor is in power, he will naturally... will rectify... and as long as we have enough influence, no power can overwhelm the sky with one hand! I am willing to share with you all Let’s write a letter together, everyone will sign together...Everyone will try first, if it really doesn’t work...It’s useless...Let’s..."

Zhang Jian was a little speechless.

Although Mao Bowen said that the new emperor is new, but this matter involves Yang Shoufu, it is hard to say...

But how do you know if you don't try?
Take a day off if you can!

I heard that other places are also noisy. If there are too many lice and it doesn't itch, it is his great achievement that they can relax for a day here. The one with more rotten carrots and less rot will naturally be favored by people. Who said No!
……

Yang House.

"My lord, drink this medicine! It will make you feel better!"

Mrs. Yang personally brought the boiled medicine to Yang Tinghe and persuaded him.

"You put... put it aside, I'll drink it later!"

Yang Tinghe closed his eyes and said, although his mind is much clearer, half of his body is still a little numb.

When he first woke up, he was very afraid that he would collapse on the bed.

Fortunately, Dr. Li said that his brain disease was caused by excessive worry, and acupuncture and moxibustion would gradually relieve it in a few days.

I just told him not to worry too much, to maintain a happy mood, and not to be excited, after all, he has entered his sixtieth year.

"master!"

Huang Tong's cry sounded outside.

"What do you ask Master to do? Didn't the imperial physician already tell you that Master can't worry about it! I told you too, even if the sky is falling, you can't bother Master!"

Mrs. Yang walked out the door, saw Huang Tong, and said angrily.

Even if it was caused by his own son, people always defend their shortcomings.

For Mrs. Yang, she felt that a series of incidents were due to Huang Tong's ineffectiveness.

These so-called aides are nothing more than dogs raised by the Lord's family. They are provided with food, drink, and shelter for them to do things.

What's the use of such a dog if you can't do things well?
Mrs. Yang was very angry!
"Ma'am... is..."

"Go down!"

Just as Huang Tong was about to say something, he was quickly interrupted by Mrs. Shoufu.

"Let... let him in!"

Yang Tinghe still had a weak voice coming from inside.

"master!"

Mrs. Yang went into the room to persuade her.

"He...he must be in a hurry!"

Yang Tinghe felt helpless.

"Mao Cheng...Master Mao is here! He said he has something urgent to do!"

Huang Tong said in a panic.

In fact, he also has urgent matters, but in the case of Mr. Yang Ge and his wife's attitude, if something goes wrong, he can't bear the blame!

Now Mao Shangshu just came!
If nothing unexpected, it should be that thing!
Since I can't bear this blame myself, only capable people can bear it!

Since the accident of the master, the young master has been huddled and has not come out.In addition, these days there are noisy students parading the streets, and there have been parades in the capital in the past two days.

However, there were Marquis Wu Ding Guo Xun, and Xu Tai and Jiang Bin leading soldiers to watch on the street. Those students parading the streets were quite standard, but after all, the sensation caused was still huge!

The young master knew that those people were targeting him, and there were quite a few people who used all kinds of banners to scold him, with depressed expressions, and heard that they had been lying in bed for several days. As for the real illness, they were still pretending, Huang Tong believed in the latter!
"Let him...he come in!"

Yang Tinghe had already expected that nothing good would happen.

With regard to the "Jinghua Tabloid", he suddenly remembered that those students used this method to besiege his home.

At the beginning, he wanted to eradicate "Jinghua Tabloid", but he didn't use ruthless methods, but he made a comeback again!

I don’t know, I thought Zhu Houzhao was resurrected again!
Whose method is this?

No one but the emperor would target himself like this!No one has such means!
It must be the new emperor!
The new emperor must be unusual, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, he was careless!
"Jiefu! Jiefu! It's not good! It's not good!"

Mao Cheng ran in with his slightly chubby body.

"Xianqing, you...just say what you have to say, there is no need..."

Yang Tinghe sat up with some difficulty under the service of Mrs. Yang, and said helplessly when he saw Mao Cheng who was out of breath.

"Jiefu, those students in the capital are now parading the streets. Although they didn't say it clearly, they are directly targeting you and Yongxiu. This... this is not good!"

Mao Cheng took a breath and said.

"I...I know!"

Yang Tinghe replied with a sigh.

He has already considered this result, and is thinking of a way to deal with it. Although it is a bit tricky, it is not without a way out...

After all, the cause of the incident is my son, so I can only push him out first. As for the Han family, of course I can pretend not to know...

"Jie Fu! This is not the worst, and what I want to talk about today is not about this matter. After all, we are not the only ones who operate in the dark, but in this court... I will not talk about it! What I want to say is that the previous palace At that time, that little eunuch of the first emperor, Wei Bin, did not die! He actually surrendered himself to the Dali Temple while all the students were parading the streets! He said that the death of the first emperor was abnormal, and he applied to you for a change of doctor... "

"Uh... uh..."

"master!"

"Jeff!"
