Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

At the same time when Gu Yunji and others were released from the prison, a gossip spread like wildfire in Beijing—there was no fraud in this examination, and the imperial court wanted to depose 150 admitted tribute scholars in order to appease the northern scholars so that they could be re-elected. Hold the test and leave the quota list to the northerners.

"Too much bullying! The imperial court treats us southerners as soft persimmons, can you bully them at will!"

In a Jiangnan Imperial Examination Hall in Wenda Lane, a southern scholar blushed with anger and slammed the table: "Since there is no cheating, why do we have to hold the examination again? Why do we have to get rid of those who passed the examination based on our ability?" Is there any milk for a child who can really cry! "

Another person sneered and said, "The 150 quotas, not to mention that they were obtained from the downfall of us southerners, but in the previous examinations since the founding of the country by Taizu, which one has more than 130 people passed the examinations in the north? This time I gave them 150 quota all at once, which is a big profit.”

Someone was unlucky, and got 151 in the exam, and happened to be stuck in the list of being deposed. At the moment, he was angry and wronged, and said unwillingly: "Because this group of Beijiao had a riot, the imperial court had to sacrifice their lives to appease them." Us? Why!"

"It is said that the imperial examinations gave hope to poor scholars all over the world, and they can change their destiny through hard work. I never thought that I had studied hard for ten years and beat all the noble children, but in the end I lost in the place of origin. It's ridiculous. ,absurd!"

A few people were extremely angry, and spoke out: "The so-called fairness of the imperial examination is a lie! The court is crooked, and it just favors the northerners! This can be seen from the fact that Emperor Taizong abandoned Yingtian and moved the capital to Beiping. It's obvious!"

As soon as this remark came out, the timid one was so frightened that he hurriedly made a silent gesture: "Shh! Brother Wang, be careful! Don't talk about the matter of Emperor Taizong!"

"Speak carefully! If Emperor Taizong was still here, with his strong temperament, he would have already killed these young people, how could he allow them to be presumptuous?" This man was so angry that he couldn't listen, "The imperial court like this Isn’t it cowardly and fearful to do it, and want to appease the northerners? If so, let’s make trouble too! Let’s also follow the example of those northerners and sue the imperial court!”

As soon as this remark was made, a large number of people immediately echoed it: "That's right! We just want to make trouble and shout, otherwise the imperial court will really treat us as soft persimmons. If the northerners get their way this time, they won't ride on our heads in the future." !"

"Aren't they clamoring for a grade review in the Ministry of Rites? Let's go too! They think that someone cheated if they didn't pass the exam, and I think my low ranking is because someone deliberately overwhelmed me!"

"Yes, let's go too, let's make trouble too!"

-

"In my opinion, we still have to continue to make trouble!"

In the northern guild hall across a few alleys, the northern scholars were also filled with righteous indignation after hearing the news.

Kong Ruike, as the first person who discovered the problem on the day when the list was released, seemed to have become the leader in the hearts of all the scholars at this moment, and they all listened to him: "Since there is no fraud, why did the court depose half of the scholars? Re-holding the test again? This is clearly a ulterior motive!"

"Give us a small favor, and we can be dismissed? Dreaming! Since half of the gongshi are going to be dismissed and re-examined, why don't they dismiss the top 150, but the 150 behind? This is obviously a conspiracy by the people behind I can't stop, I have to cut off my own arm to save myself!"

The more Kong Ruike thought about it, the smoother it became. Once the seeds of malicious speculation germinated, they ran out of control like a wild horse, and said emotionally: "It seems fair that the court did this, but in fact it saved the reputation of most of the crooked people. The real purpose of throwing out scraps like the last 150 to fool us is to cover up the fact of fraud in the imperial examination!"

"Brother Kong is right!" One person stood up abruptly, and loudly echoed, "Aside from other things, I don't believe that with our ability, can the imperial examinations only be in the bottom 150? The imperial court like this To do it is to discriminate against us and to insult us!"

Among all the things in the world, talking big is the easiest and least labor-intensive thing. Everyone was so emotional that they forgot for a moment how much the northerners lagged behind the southerners in previous years, so they said without shame:
"If the imperial court directly cancels the qualifications of all the tributes this time and re-takes the general examination, there is no need for the imperial court to admit them separately. I can pass the exam by myself! And I will definitely be able to get in the top 150!"

"That's exactly the reason! Let's talk about Brother Kong, the direct descendant of the most holy master, No. 6 in the Jinan Fu Township Examination, how can such a talent be able to pass the top ten exams? If you perform well, you must Bai Xingjia must give up Huiyuan's position!"

"It must be those traitors in the cabinet who deceived the Holy Majesty with their sweet words. Seeing that the fraud can no longer be concealed, they came up with such an idea to prevaricate us. I don't accept it! I want to sue the imperial court, and ask Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter!"

"That's right! We've just had a quarrel for two days and we've forced them to show their feet, and it looks like we're going to continue to quarrel!"

"Yes! Keep making trouble, keep making trouble!"

……

Since the news came out, Beijing Central’s exams were like a gunpowder keg that exploded. No matter whether they passed the exam or failed the exam, whether they were from the north or the south, they were all dissatisfied with the result, or were in pain. Scolding the imperial court for being biased, or angrily denouncing the traitors for cheating in the imperial examinations, they all expressed that they would let Emperor Jingfeng personally come forward to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Hooligans are not to be feared, but the most frightening thing is that hooligans are educated. This group of crazy scholars is no different from educated hooligans. On the walls of the streets and alleys, when a passer-by was caught, he began to "report his grievances bitterly", which was like a world turned upside down.

However, no matter how much trouble they made, Emperor Jingfeng did not respond in any way, but just let them go, neither speaking to appease nor violently suppressing them, as if he was going to spend it like this.

In the evening of that day, at the corner of the street where no one was paying attention, a thin man knocked on the door of Rongfa Bookstore.

"I want to buy a book."

The shopkeeper came out yawning, and waved at him impatiently: "Our boss said that we won't be open for business in the near future, so you can go to another store to buy." After that, he was about to close the door and go back.

The man quickly blocked the door, refusing to give up: "The books I want to buy are only available in your family."

The shopkeeper paused, and looked at him cautiously: "Who are you?"

The man smiled and avoided answering: "You don't ask me what book to buy first, but who I am, isn't it a bit strange?"

The shopkeeper's eyes flickered when he heard the words, and he quickly returned to normal. He changed his words politely and said, "Okay, what book do you want to buy?"

The man stared into his eyes, and said word by word: "I want to buy——"Jingfeng Eight Years General Examination Mock Test Questions Collection"."

I suddenly found that there was a chapter missing between 270 and 270, because the lack would cause the plot to be incoherent, so I directly added it to the chapter 278 "Rongfa Bookstore", and the current version is complete Yes, if you are interested, you can go back and have a look, otherwise the following plot may be a bit confusing.Sorry for the inconvenience caused by my mistake.
