Chongzhen Undergraduates

"It's not fair. The people on the list are all people related to the chief examiner and deputy chief examiner."

The students who looked at the list were immediately questioned, because the chief examiner was Qian Qianyi, and the deputy chief examiner was Huang Daozhou. Such a list made it clear that people would not trust it.

"Come on, let's go to the Ministry of Rites and talk to Qian Qianyi. If we don't give us an explanation, we will talk to the emperor."

Someone took the lead in yelling, and all the students immediately started to make a fuss, and the black crowd flocked directly to Zhengyang Gate. Among them were students, and more people were watching the excitement.

There has never been such a bustle in Nanjing City. Scholars making troubles have always been the top priority of the Ming court.

None of the inspectors of the City Patrol Division or the policemen of the various yamen dared to stop them, and they all gave way to the crowd on their own initiative.The status of scholars is not something that low-level officials like them can get involved in.

This is tantamount to directly showing a microcosm of the hierarchical division of the various classes in the south of the Yangtze River. Scholars lead ordinary people and completely control the entire society.

The few who walked in the front were Liu Zongzhou's students.Because of the two subjects of Ming Jing and Jinshi, Liu Zongzhou's students did the best in the exams.

Aside from the two weirdos in Qian Qianyi's relationship, this battle can also be said to be a contest between two weeks.These students were clearly looking for Qian Qianyi, but in fact they were asking Qian Qianyi to drag Huang Daozhou out.

In the eyes of Liu Zongzhou's students, Huang Daozhou has completely surrendered to Zhu Youjian, and he is undoubtedly the same as the eunuch of the previous dynasty.

"What are you going to do?" The army of students set off from the gate of the Taimiao, bypassed the Jiangnan Gongyuan, and was about to march towards Zhengyangmen, but was stopped by a person halfway.

The leader saw that it was Huang Zongxi, so he gave some face and stopped.

"Huang Zongxi, I think you and I are from the same school, so I won't argue with you today. Don't think that you are someone special just because you are the prince's lackey."

It is very impolite in Daming to directly call each other by their names, which is equivalent to cursing people in later generations.Especially these scholars who consider themselves saints are even more face-saving.

"Listen to me, this exam is for the emperor to review the papers, and has nothing to do with the chief examiner." Huang Zongxi tried his best to persuade him, because he had indeed seen Zhu You's hard work in reviewing the papers with his own eyes.

For such a big matter as the imperial examination, Zhu Youjian certainly would not give up the opportunity for the prince to learn.Therefore, Huang Zongxi also had the honor to visit the entire examination process and site together.

"Why are you pretending to be a good person, Huang Zongxi? Do you need to run out to prove that you have something to do with them? Go away." The leader pushed Huang Zongxi away, and continued to lead the crowd away without even looking at him.

Huang Zongxi stood where he was, letting countless young people pass by and hit his body, he felt a sense of powerlessness.

In the past two months, the relationship between Huang Zongxi and his teacher Liu Zongzhou has become increasingly tense.On the one hand, Liu Zongzhou wanted to use him to inquire about the affairs of the court, especially about Zhu Youjian's whereabouts and intentions;

Isolated, Huang Zongxi felt that he was isolated in his original school.

"Idiot, if you stand like this again, they will dare to step on you." Fang Yi grabbed Huang Zongxi and pulled him to the side of the street, complaining in distress.

"Miss Fang, please respect yourself whether it's a relationship between a man and a woman." Huang Zongxi was not in the mood to tangle with Fang Yi, he had already gotten rid of Fang Yi many times.

"You act like someone cares to follow you." Fang Yi was angry. She felt that a big girl was chasing after Huang Zongxi, but she was always alienated by the other party. It was really embarrassing.

"Don't think I don't know what you want to do?" Huang Zongxi's face darkened.

"What are you doing?" Fang Yi blushed and thought that the other party knew her intentions and wanted to pierce the window paper.

"Don't you just want to use the beauty trap to find out about our Donglin!" Huang Zongxi blurted out.

"Crack!" Five obvious fingerprints appeared on Huang Zongxi's face.

"You're an asshole." Fang Yi turned around and ran away after speaking.

The students had just walked halfway here, and all the six yamen knew about it. All the officials crowded to the door of each yamen, stretched their necks and looked towards the Ministry of Rites.

The guards of the imperial city of Dongcheng Bingma Division drove out of Hongwu Gate in groups, and lined up neatly in front of Zhengyang Gate.Although Qian Qianyi, who was sitting in the lobby of the Ministry of Rituals, looked very upright, his legs were already trembling, and sweat was already oozing from the roots of his hair.

Of course, Zhu Youjian also received the news, but Zhu Youjian didn't seem to be in a hurry, but asked what Qian Qianyi was doing.

"Lord Qian is hiding in the Ministry of Rites and dare not go out." Ji Biao replied like this.

"Then let them make a fuss, as long as there is no trouble." After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he continued to be busy sorting out his own information, which he had to complete every once in a while.

This hands-off emperor inherited the legacy of the previous Ming emperors, holding military power and financial power firmly in his own hands, and dispatched other things as much as possible, and he was only responsible for issuing orders.

As long as he is in Nanjing, he will focus on solving some difficult problems in various project teams, teaching departments, and theoretical and technical departments of the Institute of Science and Technology, and provide guidance.Only in this way can the efficiency of climbing the technology tree be quickly improved.

On the square outside Zhengyang Gate, tens of thousands of people gathered here, and the shouts of the crowd were louder and louder, and Chen Yuanyuan, who was in the harem, could hear it.

"Xiaoyu, you send someone to take Mrs. Liu to the harem to take shelter temporarily." Although Chen Yuanyuan and Liu Rushi were on friendly terms before, they have gotten very close in the past six months, and they are considered friends.

"Your Majesty, would it be inconvenient to go directly to the harem?" Xiaoyu curled her lips. After all, there are too many taboos in the palace.

"The emperor doesn't live here, it's fine." Chen Yuanyuan thought for a while, and felt that there should be nothing serious.Anyway, there was already news that Qian Qianyi was hiding in the Ministry of Rites and did not dare to go out, so it was okay for Liu Rushi to come to the emperor to avoid the limelight.

Xiaoyu sent someone to pick him up at Qian's Mansion, and there was already a guest in Qian's Mansion, who was accompanying Liu Rushi, and the guest was Li Xiangjun.

Li Xiangjun is diligently persuading Liu Rushi, which makes Liu Rushi inexplicably moved

Chapter 231: The Expansion of the Situation

Qian Qianyi hid in the Ministry of Rites and did not dare to go out, and Zhu Youjian did not express his opinion. The whole incident suddenly became fierce. Immediately afterwards, some Fushe leaders stood up and expressed their support for the students' demands for justice.

Under the instigation of some bigwigs in Fushe, more and more people gathered outside Zhengyang Gate, even reaching tens of thousands of people, and they are still gathering.

Seeing that it was getting late, the court still did not give any indication.Some students were a little disheartened and said they wanted to leave.But several bigwigs in Fushe were not reconciled, and they proposed to stick to Zhengyangmen until the court gave an answer.

This made some people seem to see hope.Young people always have an impulsive passion, especially under the impetus of the general trend, there will be an inexplicable expansion psychology.

How big it is to fight against the imperial court, or they have only heard of it before.For example, the Six Gentlemen of Donglin back then, when young people heard about this kind of thing, their blood would boil immediately. As for the truth, no one thought about it.It's like when you enter a disco in later generations, it's hard not to twist twice under the rendering of music.

The six ministries of the imperial court are located inside the Hongwu Gate, and blocking the Zhengyang Gate is equivalent to blocking the normal work of various departments of the entire imperial court.

"Wow!" More than half of the students became excited, as if they were about to participate in such a big battle.

In the past six months, Daming has fought a lot of battles, each time making people more excited, but none of this has anything to do with scholars.Now it's hard to find a related event, how can we not make them excited.

Sitting quietly has always been a favorite thing for cultural people to do.On this night, driven by Fushe, the entire middle of the street outside Zhengyangmen was full of meditating students.

This one because of the questioning and appeal of the unfair examination turned into a protest of the scholars against the imperial court.And reached the level of direct confrontation.

That night, the salt merchant who expressed his support for the students directly gave out his wallet and went to several famous restaurants along the Qinhuai River, hired the best chefs in Nanjing to make exquisite food, and asked the young girls in the Qinhuai River to personally deliver the meals And hand them to the students one by one.

Of course Liu Rushi did not live in the palace, but stayed overnight in a side room in the Ministry of Rites with Qian Qianyi.Among them, Li Xiangjun insisted on going with him, and said a lot of affectionate and righteous words.

Chen Yuanyuan is a considerate person. Under her arrangement, the palace sent several eunuchs to the Ministry of Rites to take care of their daily life.As for other officials, they can only enter and leave the imperial city through side gates and go to work normally.

"If so, are you afraid?" Qian Qianyi looked at Liu Rushi's busy figure, feeling a little sad.

From the 38th year of Wanli, he entered the officialdom as a Tanhua at the age of 28, and he has been unsatisfactory and even idle for many years.In his 60s, he finally participated in the core position of court politics.

In other words, it was the fall of the Ming capital that gave him a chance to regain his official position.How could he be willing to give up?

Do you really think he will be like Zuo Guangdou, a famous official who helps the government?No, Qian Qianyi didn't think that way, he just wanted to get a high position, and there was no powerful official like Wei Zhongxian in the current imperial court.

In the current government, there is only one person who still has trouble with Donglin, and that is Zhu Youjian.
