Chapter 68
The results of the provincial examinations in various places have come out, candidates who are eligible to go to Beijing to take the general examination have set off one after another, and there are more and more scholars in the capital.

A teahouse, on the second floor.

A group of scholars sat around and talked loudly. When they heard the sound of orderly footsteps, they all looked out of the window, but saw the leader riding a horse, followed by the Imperial Army with serious expressions and orderly steps.

"It's so strange. Have there been more and more officers and soldiers patrolling recently?"

"Yeah, a few days ago they were government soldiers, later they were environmental sanitation officers, and now they are imperial soldiers. You can see them patrolling every day."

"What's so strange about this, the capital is strictly controlled during the annual test, because we are afraid that something will happen to us."

"It's true, those who are in the capital now are the pillars of the future, so don't take good care of them."

This group of people put gold on their faces unceremoniously. Looking closely at their clothes, they all revealed a sense of luxury in a low-key manner.

The shop assistants don't even need to ask, they all know that this group of people are descendants of aristocratic families.

In the corner of the teahouse, there were also some plainly dressed scholars looking out of the window worriedly.

Turning around, when Fang Wenxing went to visit Yang Jian in Yang's mansion, he even talked about what happened on the street.

"Fu soldiers, sanitation officers and imperial guards?"

Yang Jian was thoughtful: "It is indeed too cautious."

In front of this Deputy Prime Minister, Fang Wenxing did not dare to say that because they are pillars, the imperial army must protect their safety.

"Just study hard and don't pay attention to these things."

Yang Jian suppressed the suspicion in his eyes, and said with a kind attitude, "Have you seen your sister? Go and see her."

Fang Wenxing saluted happily.

When Fang Wenxing left, the eldest son Yang Wenbai strode in and said with a smile, "The younger brother of the third sister-in-law is a child prodigy, and now he is 15 years old. He has a bright future!"

After sitting down, he tentatively said, "He is a well-known talent in our Jiangdong. He already has a junior three yuan in front of him, and he is a Jieyuan in the rural examination. If he comes to the six yuan and ranks, I am afraid that countless people want to go to Jiangdong to study..."

There are also countless people who want to join the Yang family, but he didn't say anything about the second half of the sentence.

Yang Jian glanced at him, his expression difficult to distinguish between joy and anger, "Has the people in the same department as him investigated clearly?"

"After the investigation, most of them are not as famous as him, and the rest of them are from aristocratic families. As long as the sons of aristocratic families become the number one scholar, those aristocratic families will not say anything."

"Where is the poor farmer?"

"This one……"

Yang Jian's face darkened, and Yang Wenbai hurriedly put down the hot tea, "Son, I'll check it now."

But when he went out, the young minister of Guanglu Temple shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly.

"The poor family may still have a few talents. What is there to look for in the farmer's house? Even if the talent is good, there is no reputation, and the article has not been selected by visiting the family in advance."

He didn't take his father's instructions seriously, even if he later learned that a farmer named Kang Hongtu had been displaced, saw a lot of people's suffering, and his policies and opinions were meaningful and calm, he didn't take them seriously.

The imperial examination, placed in the previous dynasty, was an opportunity for scholars from all over the world to advance to the official position, but now, they are the disciples of their noble families. What does it have to do with those peasants?
He relaxed and called his colleagues to drink.

After he left, Yang Jian thought about it, went to call for someone, and paid close attention to the movement of the imperial army.

The new emperor is different from the previous emperor. All the actions he has made since he ascended the throne have harmed their interests.

Now in the past year, the officials of the court have changed for less than half.Even if they tried their best to discredit the emperor's reputation among the literati, with the efforts of the little princess, in the hearts of ordinary people, the new emperor was a good emperor.

However, Dacheng is the world of literati, and the attitude of ordinary people cannot affect the overall situation.

He wanted to prove that Wang Yuansi's choice of betraying the family was wrong!

The people sent out didn't notice anything unusual, and Yang Jian was a little uneasy, but he couldn't find the source of the uneasiness.

He did secretly provoke some people and coax some early birds, but he didn't know that the kidnapping case was related to King Qi, and he didn't know that the Shaoqing of Dali Temple would pursue this matter, so he missed the tip-off Chance.

Royal Palace.

Yan Zhizhi was having lunch with Yan Xiaofeng.

Recently, the situation was tense and the situation was changing, so the emperor didn't let his daughter go out to set up a stall, and at most allowed her to go out of the palace to go shopping occasionally.

Yan Zhizhi didn't object either, and kept reading the book given by his master all day long.

This time, she bit the big chicken leg so hard that her face was covered in oil.

Seeing the emperor's absent-mindedness from the corner of the eye, he quickly asked, "Daddy, what's the matter with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No."

Yan Xiaofeng took a bite of the vegetables without expression.

But the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he couldn't hold it back, and said with a sneer, "Mr. Yan's contradictory words really amaze me."

Yan Zhizhi always felt that what the emperor wanted to express was different from what he said. She tilted her head, "Daddy, have you contacted Master? Is he coming to the capital?"

She began to arrange excitedly, "Let Master also live in the palace, just live in Zhizhina. We can eat together, go shopping together, and treat people together."

"Hehe." Someone sneered.

Yan Zhizhi blinked, "Daddy, you don't like Master?"

In her memory, every time Master was mentioned, Yan Xiaofeng seemed to be a different person, which was weird.

Yan Xiaofeng, who was released as a pigeon, was not in a good mood.

"Your master promised me to come to Beijing in the next few days."

Let's talk about Yan Zhizhi's life experience!

Yan Xiaofeng didn't say anything about the second half of the sentence, he only said the current result, "Yesterday, Black Blade sent a letter, and your master suddenly disappeared, leaving only a letter saying that something needs to be dealt with, and he will come in a few days, ha ha."

Yan Xiaofeng had already invited the wandering Taoist priest, but there was another one missing.It's like being about to learn the truth, but the person who knows the truth makes a face and runs away.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Yan Xiaofeng took another bite of the vegetables.

Seeing this, Yan Zhizhi, who wanted to comfort her, hurriedly put the vegetables on the plate into Yan Xiaofeng's bowl.

After Yan Xiaofeng ate a plate of green vegetables unconsciously, he realized that Yan Zhizhi was smiling like a little fox and continued to gnaw on the big chicken leg.

He sighed, and ordered Shangshi Bureau to make another plate of green vegetables.

The chicken leg that Yan Zhizhi was biting into fell back into the bowl.

"No!"

A few days later, the person in charge of transporting the children and women saw that the defense of the capital was getting tighter, and couldn't help it, so he secretly contacted Master Huijue of Puhua Temple.The two sides planned to start transporting out a little bit, without knowing that all of this is under the control of the imperial army.

When the last group of children and women were transferred to Puhua Temple, Master Huijue hurriedly contacted the temples in other places, planning to take them there by wandering for alms.

However, the day of departure was the day when the entire Puhua Temple was encircled and suppressed.

When he was arrested, Master Huijue was still stable.Even if he was tortured, he only said that he was blinded by gold and silver, and his six sense organs were not clean.

At this moment, Yu Jiangling had already contacted the next temple under the guise of Puhua Temple, and then turned around and caught the person who knew about this matter from the temple during the handover.

After repeating this several times, all the temples involved were cleared out.

When the case was presented to the emperor, Yan Xiaofeng did not hesitate to ask [-]% of the monks in the country to return to the vulgar, and become ordinary people from now on, farming and paying taxes.Since then, the fields belonging to the temple are no longer exempt from tax, but just like ordinary people, pay taxes honestly!
The scholars who were preparing for the examination were quite happy when they learned of this, thinking that they had new topics to write about policy theory.

For those descendants of the aristocratic families, the fields spit out by the temples are in the hands of the people, and sooner or later they will return to their families. This is a hungry monk who is full of aristocratic families, and the emperor is an emperor!
For the peasants from a poor family, it is a good thing to return the good land to the people. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he is indeed doing practical things and is a good emperor worthy of allegiance.

Knowing this news, although Yang Jian was not as happy as some aristocratic families who had no foresight, he was relieved.

"It seems that there were forbidden troops everywhere a few days ago, it should be because of this incident."

He breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head. A county magistrate in Jiangzhou sued King Qi for treason, and the magistrate of Jiangzhou colluded with him.Along with the memorial, there is also the place where King Qi hid his private soldiers, weapons, and food.People, soldiers, and food were scattered to Jiangzhou and the mountains near the state capital!Occasionally, those private soldiers would disguise themselves as bandits and go down the mountain to rob!
Immediately afterwards, Master Huijue, who became a sinner among the monks, still confessed, admitting that they were working for King Qi.All the silver obtained from abducting women and children were given to King Qi.

When he heard the news, Yang Jian almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"So it is! So it is!"

How could a small county magistrate find out about this?It turns out that the emperor has long noticed King Qi's intention of treason!

When he was angry and scared, he felt a little happy again.

Fortunately, he didn't act personally, but only pointed out some people secretly.

If that family is down, the power of the Yang family will be stabilized instead, and it will not be a loss.

"King Qi is really useless."

He cursed in a low voice, and was about to sit on the Diaoyutai with a smile, while thinking about those clans that could take advantage of them.
