Idle courtiers

Chapter 198 It really is a mold star
At this moment, Shen Yang was still holding a book and watching silently in the Department of Procuratorate's Procuratorate.

He was not in a hurry, he had already made up his mind to spend time with these three subordinates until they surrendered.

Mr. Shen is working as a censor and has the power to supervise all officials.As one of the three law divisions, Yu Shitai has handled countless cases, so his experience in handling cases is naturally very rich.

Unlike the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Factory Guard, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has no power to detain and torture prisoners, and it is impossible to catch a prisoner and give him a severe sentence.Then, we can only carry out exhaustion bombing on these three people day and night.

That's what Shen Yang thought, he spent two hours with these three people first, and then changed to Zhang Dazhong later.The two took turns to fight, and the three were not allowed to eat or sleep until they surrendered.

Ordinary people were placed under house arrest, either yelling and yelling in frustration, or kept silent with a gray face.However, the facts seemed to be different from what he had expected. Among the three, Zhou Nan, who seemed to be at ease when he came, took out a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" from the shelf and talked with Liu and Ji. The two started talking.

"My lord Liu, the son said to Zixia: You are a gentleman Confucian, and you are not a villain Confucian. If you use this sentence as the title of a stereotyped essay, how should you break the title?"

It turned out that the officials of the six ministries were all Jinshi.We are all readers, and we also have the habit of reading on weekdays.Central Department, it is really inappropriate for you to read novels.Therefore, everyone is used to putting a few books of the Four Books and Five Classics on the shelf to relieve boredom during lunch breaks.

Liu Sicheng was annoyed: "Zhou Xingren, what time is it now, who is in the mood to explore knowledge, you can ask Mr. Ji!"

Although everyone shared weal and woe, Master Ji smiled when he heard Liu Sicheng's words, and couldn't help but said, "Don't embarrass Master Liu, Zhou Xingren. He came from a miscellaneous family, and he probably didn't study for a few days back then. After becoming an official, the Four Books and Five Classics have long been forgotten, why did Mr. Zhou want to discuss the classics with me today?"

Hearing this, Liu Sicheng thought Mr. Ji was mocking him for not having a proper background, and said angrily, "You..."

Zhou Nan hurriedly said: "Master Ji, I am also a miscellaneous official! The thing is, I have received the favor of His Majesty, allowing me to participate in the Jinshi Department in the autumn of next year and the next year. I was wronged in my early years and was sent to Liaodong Ten years. The past lessons have long been left behind, and now I have to pick them up from the beginning. Both adults are well-learned people. Today is a rare opportunity. I just want you to ask for advice on things you didn't understand before. Please don't hide your secrets. "

Mr. Ji: "Don't dare, let's treat it as a discussion of knowledge."

Just as he opened his mouth to speak, Mr. Liu snorted next to him: "It's just a lowly Confucian, what's the problem? The surname is Ji Ji, and I'm from Juren at any rate. Jin Juren, Silver Scholars, I don't lose to you in terms of learning. "

Mr. Ji: "Hehe, Jin Juren, Silver Jinshi, if so, why don't you see your lord go to the Jinshi department later?"

Zhou Nan was afraid that they would quarrel, so he hurriedly said: "Then, I would like to ask Mr. Liu, how to solve this sentence?"

Liu Sicheng said: "The superficial meaning of this sentence is that you should be a gentleman in the Confucian school, not a villain in the Confucian school. To solve the problem, we should start with how to go. Master Sheng rebuked him and said, what is the difference between you and a bad person? Then, the question comes, how to behave is a gentleman.”

"Wu Anguo said: 'When a gentleman is a Confucian, he will understand the way; if a villain is a Confucian, he will honor his name.' It can be seen that a gentleman should take righteousness and morality as his main duty, and not seek fame and fortune."

Zhou Nan said, "That's a good idea."

Although he had been worrying a lot during this period, he still didn't give up on the imperial examination. He wanted to try his luck, so he picked up the notes Shi Jieren left for him and pondered carefully.But no famous teacher knows about stereotyped essays, and it's not easy to figure it out by yourself.Anyway, I have been under house arrest today, and I have nothing to do, so I just asked them for advice.

Hearing Liu Sicheng's explanation, Lord Ji's eyes lit up: "That's right, solving the problem from here is the right way, Lord Liu, I really underestimate you, admire, admire!" After finishing speaking, he stood up and stood up. Give a long bow.

Master Liu was pleased to see him convinced.Lifting him up, he laughed loudly: "Lord Ji, why should we be like this when we are colleagues. In the case of imperial examinations, we often look at God's will, but we can't be blind and look down on people in the world."

Zhou Nan: "Then, how should we solve the problem and start talking?"

The eight-part essay has a fixed format, which is divided into eight parts: problem-solving, continuation, beginning, starting, middle, back, ending, and conclusion.There are strict regulations on what to write and how many words to write in each department.For example, to break a topic is to explain the author's views on this topic within a limited number of words, and you have to imitate the tone of a saint.

This is the opening statement, which is directly related to the success or failure of this article.

In the imperial examination field, each examiner handles eight hundred papers instead of one thousand, so it doesn't take so much energy to go through them one by one.Therefore, examiners usually only look at the broken questions, and only continue to read if the broken questions are interesting.Otherwise, just throw it in the wastebasket.

Therefore, in the ancient imperial examination field, there was a saying of breaking the title and deciding for life.

Although Shen Yang's gaze fell on the book, he kept his ears upright listening to the three of them talking.

Seeing that these three people were actually discussing stereotyped articles, they suddenly became angry: You three bastards are my officials. Where is this place?

He sneered: "Master Liu also knows the truth that a gentleman should take righteousness and morality as his main duty and not seek fame and fortune? If you really understand this truth, you don't need to sit here today. I don't think you can do well in studying, or you won't Maybe you can’t even win a Jinshi, this question is not so broken at all.”

He became bookish, and began to teach the three of them: "The key to the question of being a villain is not how to practice the way of a gentleman. You can't even understand what a villain is, so how can you write a good article. Go farewell indiscriminately, and finally farewell." Is it just the behavior of a villain?"

Liu Sicheng was so angry that his face was livid: "The surname is Shen, all the people in the world are villains, and you are the only one who is a gentleman?"

Shen Yang: "How many people in the world are gentlemen and how many are villains, I can't tell the difference. However, I still know what a villain is."

"This question should be so broken." He cleared his throat, and read: "If you want to be adulterous, you will be a villain, and if you learn out of the way, you will be a heretic. All gentlemen must stay away."

Ji and Liu were shocked at the same time. No matter how much they hated Shenyang, they still had to admit that this problem was solved really well, and it gave people a sense of freshness.

Shen Yang continued the title: "However, if the villain is also taught and ruled, and the heresy is also accepted, it is not the one who is very warned. The villain has a conscience that hides it, and he still knows that there is something outside of himself. Gentleman; Heretics have self-reliant opinions, but there are Confucianism outside of self-knowledge.”

"These two sentences are for the three of you."

Zhou Nan and the other three were all in admiration.Needless to say, this person surnamed Shen is really eloquent.Just relying on breaking the question and accepting a few tens of thousands of questions, and putting it in the imperial examination room, you can easily get a Jinshi.

However, everyone is an enemy and not a friend, and the words of praise can only be swallowed.

Moreover, this Shen Yang is clearly calling everyone a villain, and also pretending to be a moral gentleman, how can he bear it.

Mr. Liu shouted: "Shenyang, you avenged your own private revenge. You bullied your subordinates in order to get on with your superiors. Who is a gentleman and who is a villain? People in the world have their own opinions. Let's waste it like this today. Even if I fight hard, I won't fight with you." You are willing to rest."

Shen Yang sneered, and threw the book in his hand on the case: "You bought the imperial property for your own self-interest, knowing the law and breaking the law, and the crime is aggravated. I think it's okay to ask you to hand over the property for the sake of my colleagues. That's all. This officer is upright and has a clean sleeve, so why be afraid of others' words? By the way, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Nan: "What advice does Shen Yushi have?"

Shen Yang: "I have also heard about your reputation Zhou Xingren. I heard that you have the nickname of Sangmenxing. But anyone who has been your boss and has enemies with you will have no end. Just now Master Liu said no This officer is willing to rest, but this is what he said? Haha, haha, how ridiculous!"

He laughed loudly: "I want to see how you hindered the old man today."

This is already a complete sarcasm and irony, Zhou Nan: "Master Shen, if you want to fight or kill, you should listen to it as you please. Killing people is nothing but humiliating this official. If I really have this kind of trick, I would still do it today." I really want to hurt my lord."

Shen Yang looked at Zhou Nan with the eyes of a fool: "I am waiting, haha, haha, this is ridiculous, is it possible?"

Zhou Nan said lightly; "That's not sure."

Shen Yang was completely irritated by his shady tone, and slammed the table: "Someone is here, pull Zhou Nan down and hit him!"

Zhou Nan was startled and shouted angrily: "Shenyang, what do you want to do? I am an official of the imperial court, and I am a pedestrian in charge of pedestrians. What right do you have to beat me/"

"Haha, it's a joke. You, a regular eighth-rank miscellaneous person, are also worthy of being called an imperial court official, and also worthy of being a pedestrian? Come and beat him with fifty sticks."

The door was pushed open with a bang, and upon hearing Shen Yang's order, it was an eunuch in palace attire who entered.

Shen Yang: "Ah, it's Eunuch Chen."

But it was Chen Hong who came in.

Chen Hong put his hands behind his back and said: "Shenyang, the sage said: Shenyang, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Zhang Dahua, the doctor of the household department, cleaned up the farmland in Jinei. The crime will be reviewed by the Commissioner, so please!"

Shen Yang's face paled immediately, and he stood there blankly: "How is it possible, how is it possible?" The job of being a speech officer depends on your reputation. The higher your reputation, the more people can hear your voice.

Therefore, the censors racked their brains to find fault with others, impeached the ministers of the ministry, and even pointed at the emperor's nose to scold them, just to gain fame.

You were retaliated against, and even ordered by the emperor to be pressed to the ground and spanked.Congratulations, you have won the grand prize, and you will become famous all over the world in one fell swoop.This is Pengci, and this is the cheating staff.

However, the times are different, now is the Jiajing Year, the emperor will not give you a chance.If you want to lie to the court staff, well, I will directly order someone to beat you to death.If you want to improve your reputation, yes, you can be dismissed from all positions, distributed to a smoky place, and never used.

This time he was arrested and interrogated, it is estimated that he will never turn over for the rest of his life.

Chen Hongdao: "How is it impossible? Master Shen, you probably don't know it. Just now, more than 30 clans wrote a letter accusing you of oppressing the clan. They knelt down on the ground in heavy snow, and Long Yan was furious. My lord, we let's go!"

Shen Yang suddenly let out a mournful cry: "The sun is shining, the sky is shining!"

Chen Hong was not happy: "Sir, don't say that, you are not Yue Pengju, and Master Long Live is not Zhao Guan's family, let's go!"

Soon, two fans came in, charged Shenyang and left.

Only Lord Liu and Lord Ji were left looking at each other in the room.

After a while, Master Ji said dully: "Master Zhou, Master Liu, this Shenyang has been arrested, what should we do?"

Zhou Nan smiled: "Shenyang has been arrested, so it's hard for us to stay here, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate hasn't prepared lunch, so how long will we wait if we don't leave now?" He was ecstatic in his heart: It's done, my property It can be regarded as saved, and a stone fell to the ground.

Mr. Liu: "Cough, yes, we're out of control now, why don't we go away? Mr. Ji, what's wrong with you, Mr. Ji?"

Mr. Ji looked at Zhou Nan fixedly: "Zhou Xingren, will everyone who has been your boss and colleague be unlucky?"

Thinking of what he said just now, Mr. Liu took a long breath.

He jerked his hem up and fled like the wind.

Master Ji: "Master Liu, Liu Sicheng, wait for me... I don't want to die, I can still..." You can still save it.
