Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 889 The Dog That Doesn't Bark

In the back garden of the Yang family, four little girls are happily playing Cuju ().Like a shooting star, they moved in their footsteps, and their footwork was very proficient.

The youngest, Yang Huaiyuan, stuck behind Tang Saier like a bug ().

After Tang Sai'er returned to Beijing, she was severely taught by her mother, and was confined at home for several months. After Xia Xun's persuasion, she was allowed to move around in a small area, which included Go to Yang's house to study with the young ladies.

I don't know what happened this afternoon, the professor of Guozijian who was always serious in teaching, regardless of the weather, didn't come. He just sent a letter from the servant, saying that he would come to teach tomorrow, and he couldn't get away today because of something.

A few children enjoyed their place, and started playing in the back garden.

"Sister, sister, I want to know, sister, sister..."

General Wu De Yang Huaiyuan dragged two tubes of snot, chasing after Tang Sai'er's buttocks.

Tang Sai'er was holding a bamboo pole in his hand, on which a wire was bent into a circle, and a bunch of spider webs were wrapped around it, ready to stick cicadas, Yang Huaiyuan followed behind and waited to enjoy the fruits of victory.

Qiaoyun followed and blew his nose with a handkerchief. Yang Huaiyuan broke away from Qiaoyun's hand and continued to answer: "Sister, sister, I want to know..."

Tang Sai'er turned to stare at him, and said angrily, "If you know, I'll scare you away, don't talk!"

Yang Huaiyuan immediately shut his mouth obediently.

Tang Sai'er slid down the pole, put the end around the spider's web under his nose, and said, "Come on, spit!"

Use a spider web to stick the cicada, and spit on it from time to time, or else the cobweb loses its stickiness and cannot stick to the cicada.

Yang Huaiyuan, like Feng Lun, opened his mouth and spit a few times in a "peh peh".

Xia Xun and several wives and concubines were sitting in the pavilion. Xilin and Xiaodi, who were pregnant, leaned on soft pillows, while the others sat on cool cushions.

A few girls were chatting and laughing about homework, Xia Xun and Ming'er sat side by side and whispered ().

Ming'er said: "I invited a few princesses to go boating on Mochou Lake in the morning, and I overheard Princess Yongjia say that the emperor seems to be planning a northern tour recently."

After Empress Xu passed away, Ming'er was no longer able to walk around the palace, but when the Empress was here, Ming'er had formed a good relationship with the royal family. Chang can help Xia Xun get some news from the side.Device: no ads, full text, more

Xia Xun listened thoughtfully and said: "Northern tour again? The emperor makes so many northern tours, it seems..."

Before the words were finished, the second fool rushed to report, saying that the imperial envoy Huang Zhen had something urgent to see.

This is a very familiar person, besides Huang Zhen is very old, and Xia Xun is not very polite, so he said, "Oh, please meet Mrs. Huang at the back house." The clogs came to a small booth in front.

After a while, Huang Zhen came in a hurry, and the servants also brought a pot of tea and a plate of fruit in due course.Xia Xun smiled and said, "Master Huang, what are you in such a hurry for?"

Huang Zhen wiped off his sweat, he didn't care about the politeness, and he didn't care about drinking water, he paused and said, "Disaster, disaster is coming!"

Xia Xun said in surprise, "Oh? Sit down and talk, what's the matter?"

Huang Zhen sat on the stone bench and hurriedly explained the ins and outs of the matter. Xia Xun's heart clicked, and his expression changed immediately.

Xia Xun was a direct participant in the Hongwu Dynasty North and South List case back then, and knew how serious the matter was.In the eyes of the ruler, this is a more serious incident than murder and arson, corruption and breaking the law.Selecting scholars through scientific examinations is to select talents for the imperial court in a grand way, but in secret, it is to win over scholars and scholars from all over the world.

And these scholars and literati, who can afford to read, are mostly from good families, and generally belong to the landlord class. The landlord class is the cornerstone of the entire social system. If it shakes, the country can change hands. This is the peace of the world. It is the basic national policy of establishing the society and gathering people's hearts, so once this sensitive matter is touched, there is no right or wrong, right or wrong, only choice and rejection ()!

Can Xie Jin surpass Jiangshan Sheji?

At this time, it is useless to blame Xie Jin for his eagerness for quick success, and it is useless not to listen to his advice, so he can only find a way to save him.Xia Xun pondered for a while, and said to Huang Zhen: "Go back first, and the person who mobilized you will try his best to save you. Don't let the court form a one-sided wind. If you don't hear any support for Xie Jin, I'm afraid he will die! "

Huang Zhen has gone through three dynasties and has seen a lot, so he naturally understands the seriousness of the matter, otherwise he would not have come to Xia Xun in such a hurry, and nodded immediately upon hearing this.Xia Xun said again: "Yang Shiqi often walks in the palace. With him here, the prince should have received the news by now, so you don't need to inform the prince anymore. At this moment, it is not appropriate for me to meet the prince. You go back first." Do something, I think there is a way."

Huang Zhen agreed, didn't even drink his saliva, and hurried away again.

Xia Xun returned to the small pavilion where the family members were.

Several wives and concubines were chatting and laughing in the pavilion and teasing Zi Qi and Rang Na. The two of them have been annoyed by food and greasy food for the past few days.They naturally hope that they are pregnant, but because of this, they are timid and refuse to ask the doctor to take their pulse immediately. They always want to wait a few more days. If they are really pregnant, the pulse at that time will be more accurate, so as to avoid misdiagnosis. Empty joy.It's a great thing for the family to have a baby. Others envy them and have to make fun of them. Only Su Ying has made up her mind not to have another child, so she won't be envious because of it.

Ming'er had sharp eyes, and seeing Xia Xun's expression was different when he came in, she stood up immediately and asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"

Xia Xun sighed, told Xie Jin's story again, and said complainingly: "This big gentleman has a wild temperament and doesn't know how to restrain himself. If he is just a famous countryman, it doesn't matter if he doesn't see anyone in his eyes. Shoufu, greedy for quick profit, has a stinky mouth that hurts people everywhere. Once something happens, the wall will fall and everyone will push it. There is no one who can give charcoal in a timely manner. No way, I have to go and get him, otherwise this encounter will be terrible. He is doomed to die!"

Ming'er naturally knew that Xia Xun's statement was not alarmist ().Since the establishment of the scientific examination system, the punishment for cases involving scientific examination has been extremely severe.During the Tang Dynasty, the power of the clan had not yet been completely eliminated. At that time, there were only a dozen or so candidates for a single subject. If you look carefully at the number one scholar in the Tang Dynasty, almost none of them came from the people.In fact, it was more than just the number one scholar. Almost all Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty had their lists and rankings determined before the examination. There was no such thing as a fair selection of scholars.

Even though the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were so dark, this well-known inside story can only be told under the stage, and it must not be reported by others. If there is a scandal, the examiner will also risk losing his head.In the Yuan and Song Dynasties, it was even stricter, and later in the Qing Dynasty, not only the examiners wanted to beheaded, but also the examinees looked for gunmen, and even the examinees and the gunmen were also beheaded.

Bai Ling of the Qing Dynasty, a bannerman, a cabinet scholar and a minister of military affairs, just because he listened to someone's intercession, he selected a candidate who should have failed the ranking and ranked it at the bottom of the ranking. More than a dozen bloody heads were hung on high poles.

We read Lu Xun’s reminiscence article that said that when he was a child, his family suffered accidents, which led to his decline. It was because Lu Xun’s grandfather, who was the secretary of the cabinet, wanted to clear up his son’s joints during the provincial examination in Zhejiang, so that his son could pass the exam. Prison waiting, executed after autumn", and sentenced to "fixed imprisonment". After many efforts, he was released after eight years in prison.That was the end of the Qing Dynasty, or else the lives of father and son would have been inevitable.

The harsh punishment measures are to protect the dignity of other Confucian scholars who have endured ten years of cold windows and Confucianism in the world, and at the same time to safeguard the interests of the imperial court. Isn't Ban Nong a fake and false person a gravedigger of the dynasty?When encountering such a thing, you will never be sloppy.

Ming'er knew very well that this matter was of great importance, and she knew it better than Xia Xun.If Xia Xun was born as a scholar in this era of seriousness, then he would never want to go directly to the court and work hard to protect Jin.But after all, he does not belong to this era, nor is he a real scholar. He has never paid attention to the imperial examinations, and he is not very clear about the pros and cons, so he has such thoughts.

Ming'er knew better than him, knowing that Xie Jin was already the target of everyone's criticism. No matter whether it was a means of attacking the prince family or not, they did succeed. They succeeded in attracting the attention of the whole world. It aroused the indignation of the entire scholastic class, and behind the scholastic class was the entire bureaucratic system and the landlord class. Anyone who insisted on stepping in at this time and going against the tide would inevitably be crushed to pieces ().

Therefore, Ming'er resolutely said: "Sister, absolutely not! It is not a day's cold to freeze three feet. It is not because of Xie Jin that he is today. How can he be exonerated so easily? Besides, you are Xunqing It is not a courtier, and if you are not in your position and do not seek to govern, what excuse do you use to manage it? When the chief minister of the court stays up and down, and you, a lost prince, intervene, what will the emperor think?"

"This……"

Xia Xun suddenly realized, but how could he be willing to sit back and watch Jie Jin fall into trouble without even trying to rescue him?Ming'er said: "Master, if you want to save him, you can't act rashly like this. His life and death depend on the emperor. You and the emperor are very close friends, and you know the emperor's character. If you want to save him, you can only do it from Find a way to do it according to the emperor's will."

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Xia Xun said "ah", slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, that's exactly what it should be! Ming'er, go to the Prince's Mansion quickly, and say to borrow an imperial doctor from the Crown Princess to help you." Xilin and Xiaodi took the pulse. Jiji told the prince not to hear about Xie Jin, not to ask, and not to intervene. If the prince is not here, please tell the princess as soon as possible!"

Ming'er didn't know Xia Xun's intentions, but she knew that Xia Xun must have made up her mind, so she quickly agreed, asked Qiao Yun to accompany her back to her room, changed her clothes, and hurriedly picked up the car and left the house.Xia Xun ordered Ming'er, then rushed to the front hall and summoned a confidant domestic slave. This man was originally a son of an official, who read poetry and books when he was young, and was very clever.Later, he was demoted to be an official slave because of his father's crime.

Xia Xun called him to follow, and said in a low voice: "Go, quickly find Master Huang Zhen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and tell him to cancel all attempts to rescue Jie Jin, and go!" Go out, lead the horse out of the house, beat the horse like flying straight to the Metropolitan Procuratorate

Xia Xun sent the slave away, let out a long breath, and muttered to himself: "Although this Chen Ying is not as arrogant and domineering as Ji Gang, he is far more sinister and terrifying than Ji Gang. A biting dog is really not It's called, it seems that we have to deal with him first!"
