The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1000 Encounter on the road

"Sister Yuan, the village my aunt gave me is just ahead. I didn't have time to go and take a look last time. Why don't we go and stay here for one night? We can continue our journey to the nearby state capital tomorrow."

Anyu and Shengyuan ran for a while and happened to arrive at the official road in the suburbs of Beijing. Looking at the fork in the road, Anyu thought of his pasture and couldn't help but persuade Shengyuan to modify his itinerary.

"I remember that Zhuangzi is not far from Taogui Academy. I might not be able to see my old friend again!"

Sheng Yuan was moved, but she thought that it was not far from Huangzhuang, so she didn't agree.

Although she had spoken with certainty to her mother, it was really not the right time to have a conflict with Princess Hong'an.

"I remember that Princess Hong'an is now living in Kyoto, right?" Anyu thought it couldn't be such a coincidence, but since Sister Yuan wasn't interested, he didn't insist. He just came out to play, and anything was fine.

"Who knows? I haven't paid special attention to it, but one thing is worse than one thing less. You can't just listen to a scolding from Yongxiang Palace and then turn around and go to Qingyuan Palace to be scolded?!"

"..." Suddenly, Anyu looked at the official road leading to the outer state with more determination.

However, they both thought very well, but they forgot that sometimes there were "accidental encounters" that had nothing to do with their choices.

……

"Is this the right minister of the household department in Kyoto, Shei Yuan Shengren?"

Sheng Yuan, Anyu and his party had not gone far when they saw a group of girls in school uniforms coming in front of them.

It stands to reason that the inferior should give way to the superior, but she and Anyu were both wearing regular clothes, and neither of them planned to show off their power with the girls studying there, so they ordered their carriages and horses to move to the side of the road to make way for this group of traveling students.

Unexpectedly, after these students thanked them, they did not leave immediately. Instead, they stepped forward and asked.

Their actions made the already vigilant guards a little nervous.

"It doesn't matter." Sheng Yuan raised his hand and ordered the guard who had already taken a few steps forward to rein in the horse.

However, the half of the sword that the guards had just revealed was not taken back.

"Exactly, all of you...are all students of Taogui Academy?" Sheng Yuan's gaze passed over their student uniforms, and his attitude was very gentle.

Hearing that all the girls nodded in agreement, Sheng Yuan asked them again: "If what I remember is correct, it is the time for classes in the academy. Why did you all come back from other counties?"

Hearing this, An Yu suppressed his laughter, looked up at the blue sky, and thought to himself: It seems that the tradition of skipping classes has been passed down from generation to generation in the academy!

"Sir, don't blame me. It's because the students are unwilling to go in and are lazy and skipping school. We have been waiting for you here for a long time."

"..." Hearing this, An Yu couldn't laugh anymore. Various thoughts flashed through his mind. He couldn't help but sneer and questioned, "How did you know that we passed by here today?"

Following his questioning, the surrounding guards raised their alert level again. They all looked ahead and looked at the group of students coldly.

Unexpectedly, in the face of the oppressive momentum, the students of Taogui Academy seemed to be unaware of it, with calm and calm faces.

"It's not that the students are spying on your whereabouts, but that you are famous both inside and outside Kyoto. Everyone knows that you are newly married and like to go out to the city for horse racing and hunting. Therefore, the students are waiting around just to see you in person."

"So that's it." After hearing the reasons they gave, Sheng Yuan nodded and asked with a smile, "But it's hot summer now, so it would be too painful for you to wait and wait! But I don't know why I make you wait so hard. "What?" "Students have something to say to the adults!" The leading girls immediately raised their hands in unison and shouted in unison.

"Advice!" Sheng Yuan stroked the reins and looked at the bright-eyed girls in front of him with a warm smile. "Did you know that some time ago, some court officials advocated adding a ban, requiring all officials and students in school not to discuss without authorization? Imperial affairs?"

The expressions of the leading students were slightly dull: "Students have heard about it before."

"Well, as long as you have heard about it... Then do you know who agrees with this order?" Sheng Yuan continued to ask kindly.

This group of students was confused by the question and couldn't help but look at each other.

Unfortunately, in the eyes of my classmates, there is no correct answer, only ignorance and confusion.

When Sheng Yuan saw this, he couldn't help laughing: "There are many people who agree with this method, and I am one of them."

"..." This time, all the students in Taogui Academy froze.

Sheng Yuan saw it clearly, but still said with a smile: "So, if you have any grievances to complain, I don't mind handing you the petition; but if you want to discuss court affairs with me, then please excuse me. Open your mouth."

Speaking of this, Sheng Yuan paused for a moment and couldn't help but persuade: "Ordinary people have a rare opportunity to study. Girls from ordinary families can study in an academy, which is even more valuable. You should cherish it if you can live in the academy and listen to the teachers. Of.

Now that you are in your prime years, you should devote your limited energy to the equally limited student life, absorb knowledge, comprehend the teachings of sages, broaden your horizons, broaden your knowledge, understand the difficulty of people's livelihood, and see clearly the difficulties of the people.

As for the important matters in the court, after you have completed your studies, you will have plenty of time to discuss and make suggestions. If the General Secretary dares to deceive the superiors and refuse to accept your memorials, then I will not mind taking the responsibility again. Speaker, I will open up a way for you to speak, so that your true knowledge and insight can reach heaven and be heard. "

Seriously speaking, Sheng Yuan has never given anyone such patient persuasion since she was a child.

It's a pity that her good intentions are playing the piano to others.

It was obvious that the group of students in front of her did not intend to appreciate it.

Among the leading students, there was a simple-looking girl who couldn't help glaring at Sheng Yuan with her head raised, and shouted loudly: "There are many injustices in the world. Most of the court officials are trying to protect their official careers and refuse to give honest advice! If a student like me, who has a clear mind, can't If you turn a blind eye to this and say nothing, who else can complain in this bright world?"

The girl's sonorous and powerful words and her righteous demeanor immediately won the applause of her classmates.

The stunned Anyu slowed down for a moment, turned to Sheng Yuan and shook his hands. He suppressed laughter and said silently: "This is a collaboration. Without them, the imperial court will fall?"

"..." Sheng Yuan has been studying for more than ten years, and this is the first time she sees an ancient middle school girl. She is not angry at all. After all, students are like this. After reading a lot, they like to give advice. Although the idea is a bit immature, the starting point is ultimately Still good.

Although these female students were a bit entangled, Sheng Yuan was still very pleased that they could have their own thoughts and have the courage to express them.

Thinking of this, Sheng Yuan's attitude became much softer: "Since you insist on advising me... let's do this. Taogui Academy and I have a relationship, and I have the right to be your senior and listen to your thoughts. Son, how are you?"

The girl who spoke before wanted to insist on her opinion, but the classmate on her left stopped her. Then, the tallest female student on her right stood up.

"Master Shengda, I, the three hundred and sixty-nine students of Taogui Academy, implore you to go to the Emperor Shu and petition the emperor to treat the clan leniently and release Princess Yongping and her heirs from the palace to rest in peace!"

As soon as these words came out, the warm smile on Sheng Yuan's face instantly turned into ice.
