The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1385
In this year, the rise and fall of honor and disgrace of the old and new families has basically become a foregone conclusion, but a small number of officials in the court are still from the old family. Although the power of the old family has declined a lot in the court, it is a family after all The background of the aristocratic family is still there. The children of the aristocratic family have studied riding and shooting since they were young, and their starting point is much higher than that of ordinary people.

It's not that there are poor scholars in the court, there are, but only a small number of them can step into the court hall, and go to the Taiji Hall to participate in government affairs at five o'clock every day. Most of the poor scholars are ordinary civil servants in the government. Officials, with achievements, go up step by step, and these humble scholars want to make achievements, but also have opportunities. In terms of opportunities, children from aristocratic families have many more than those poor scholars, so it cannot be generalized.

It seems unfair, but this is the reality, this is the status quo.

The emergence of Mingde Academy in Dongshan County means that Xuan Shijing is paving the way for these children from ordinary farmers. Now His Majesty has noticed the students of the academy. The first batch of students who will graduate in the future, the opportunities they will face , will not be less than the children of the aristocratic family. In this way, there are only so many seats in the imperial court. These students occupy more, and the children of the aristocratic family occupy less.

In this way, it touches their interests, touches their cake, and they will be unhappy, and if they are unhappy, they will naturally cause trouble.

There is nothing to target those students in the academy, because the source does not lie with them, the source lies in Xuan Shijing.

It is precisely because of this that there is a censor in Chang'an City for Xuan Shijing's memorial. The censor's participation in the memorial is simple. It was fabricated, and it was only guessed because of seeing such a scene. Even if His Majesty Li Er blamed it, he could only blame it in his heart, and he could not order to punish Yushi, because this is the responsibility of Yushi .

As for whether Xuan Shijing will retaliate, they are eager for Xuan Shijing's revenge, so that they can grab Xuan Shijing's little tail and continue to punish Xuan Shijing.

This happened for a long time, and the memorial was sent to Xuan Shijing to read, but Xuan Shijing just didn't move, as if nothing like this had happened.

"Husband, was the censor of Chang'an City spreading rumors and causing trouble before, so you weren't angry at all?" One day in the study, when Jin Yang and Xuan Shijing were alone together, he asked the doubts in his heart.

Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "I'm angry, but I can't move. Isn't their purpose coming at me? If I get angry and make a big scene, it's right in my hands. This matter has to wait. There is a saying It’s called settling accounts after autumn, your husband, I’m not a good person, when the limelight of this matter passes, I have to clean up those gang of censors in other matters, I hold grudges very much.”

Xuan Shijing couldn't count how many times the censor of Chang'an City had impeached him, and how many memorials he had written to slander him. It's not that he didn't report it, but it was just that the time hadn't come. Xuan Shijing remembered all these things.

If it is true that he did something wrong, and the censor wrote a memorial to His Majesty Li Er to sue, then Xuan Shijing admitted that he was wrong. This is unbearable.

"Oh? How does your husband plan to rectify it?" Jin Yang asked.

"I don't believe that all the censors at the Yushitai in Chang'an City are really clean and have no foundation. Let Jin Yiwei go to investigate and collect evidence. When they have collected enough, they will send them to His Majesty. Make it public and let the world take a good look at their faces." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "Let them wait and cry when the time comes."

It is not a bad thing that the court is so generous to the censor, but it is not all a good thing. No, there have been some censors who specialize in serving certain people, which is a bad thing.

The censor should be the emperor's sword, not some people's sword, and now it's time to get rid of the moths in the censor's platform.

"Husband has already started to attack them?" Jin Yang asked.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "That's right, I just waited for an opportunity. Last time they slandered me, although the incident was quite noisy, judging from the superficial phenomena on Zhuangzi, it is indeed easy to think of it. Therefore, It was not a chance, it was just the last time, although there was not much movement in Chang'an City, but in these ten miles and eight townships, the Yushitai's censor has been scolded by the common people, I can't personally swear, listen to the common people It's quite comfortable to scold the street like this."

Xuan Shijing is not a saint, he is just a layman. He will not be angry with those censors who act like this, but being angry does not mean that they must vent it out. The common people are all sensible people. I heard the rumors from Chang'an that the censor platform Officials slandered Xuan Shijing and scolded Xuan Shijing a long time ago. They didn't scold secretly at home, but directly on the street.

To them, Xuan Shijing is a benefactor, a benefactor who can let their children go to school, and their benefactor was slandered because of his gift giving.

"Sizi, you said that I used to stay on my own in Zhuangzi, and I didn't go to the court to fight with them, so why did they bother to provoke me?" Xuan Shijing smiled helplessly.

Jin Yang also covered his mouth and smiled: "The husband is not in Chang'an, nor is he fighting with them in the court, but the commotion in our Zhuangzi is no less than that in the court, which makes the emperor look sideways. Moreover, after a few years, The students who come out of this academy will enter the court, and at that time they will be competing with those nobles. My father has always liked talents. If the students of the academy can really be as good as my husband said, they will definitely He was reused by his father."

"After all, it's still for wealth, status, and power." Xuan Shijing smiled helplessly: "That's right, isn't it because of these that the family can become a family and a big family? If you want the family to prosper for a long time? If you are bad, then you have to maintain these things and hold these things firmly in your hands. In some people's eyes, they can only see the one-acre three-point land in front of them, and their family's big house, but put the whole world on hold. Behind the scenes, we cannot say that they are selfish, because this is human nature, after all, there are people who are dedicated to the country and the people, but they are still very rare."

Wei Zheng was one such person, but unfortunately he was already dead.

"Then husband, are you such a person?" Jin Yang asked.
