I farmed in ancient times

As soon as the Lantern Festival is over, the whole first month flies by quickly, and spring begins in a blink of an eye. The ice on the surface of the river melts into pieces, and it is very pleasant to hear the tinkle and collision when it flows.

Flower buds have grown on the peach blossom branches in the garden, and flowering is just around the corner.

After spring, Erhu hurriedly rushed to Bianjing, Cen Daonian handed him a letter, telling Erhu to go directly to Shen Yan when he came.

It was a coincidence that the imperial court arranged for several ministers and the Imperial Academy to write the questions together this year. There were family members who had participated in the provincial examination to avoid suspicion.

Cen Daonian was only released home when it was time for the exam, but he has become more rounded since he was not at home during this time, it seems that the food in the palace is good.

When the exam was about to end on the last day, Jue Ming took Cen Chao'an to meet him, and Shen Yan was also waiting outside the arena, the drunkard's intention was not to drink.

After the exam was over, candidates with different expressions poured out of the exam room, Jue Ming tiptoed to search, and not long after, a skinny young man came out of the hall with light steps.

Once Erhu reaches his age, his height grows rapidly. The stubborn boy Wang Erhu has now grown to about 1.6 meters [-], only a little shorter than Cassia Ming.

After several days of exams, Erhu was mentally and mentally exhausted. When he saw Shen Yan and Jueming, he bowed his hands respectfully, and Jueming returned the salute, "Are you tired? Let's go to the mansion to rest first."

Erhu's father smiled and took the dirty clothes and small basket brought out by his son. Erhu's mother tried to sell the food she brought, but Erhu refused.

All he wants now is a good hot shower and a good night's sleep.

Knowing that his younger brother was tired, Wang Dahu pulled his mother to prevent her from disturbing his younger brother, followed Caesar carefully, and entered the gate of Shangshu Mansion.

Er Hu's father only knew that the teacher who taught in Damo Township was an official, but he didn't expect that the official was so big, the biggest official he had ever seen was Zhizhou, and he didn't expect that the plain old master was actually Shang Shu.

Cen Daonian was waiting at home, when Er Hu's father saw Cen Daonian, he arched his hands and his tongue was a little knotted, "Master Cen, Cen Cen, Shangshu."

Cen Daonian couldn't help laughing, and called Er Hu's father by name, "Wang Xing, why are you being so polite, you just treat this place as your own home."

Cen said to Anren Xiaogui: "Yes, Erhu will be Jinshi soon. You are the father of Jinshi. You will meet many high-ranking officials in the future. Let's practice our courage today."

"Naughty." Caesar flicked his forehead, and Cen Chaoan rubbed his forehead, winking at Wang Erhu.

With Erhu's talent, it is impossible to say that he will be admitted to Jinshi this time. Thinking about it this way, Erhu's father relaxed a little, and said: "How could it be, Erhu is still too young, and the people in the same field are better than him There are too many of them."

Cen Daonian greeted a few people to sit down, and after three rounds of tea, Jue Ming got up, "Er Hu is tired after so many days of exams, I will take him to the back to rest first."

Erhu's father hurriedly agreed, but Erhu didn't refuse, because he was really tired.

Chaoan also got up, and together with his brother, he arranged for the two tigers to take a bath and rest.

The father of the two tigers is humble, and he still hopes that his son can pass the Jinshi examination in one fell swoop.

If they were first-class Jinshi, the two tigers were real "child prodigies", the kind that are rare in a hundred years, the Wang family will shine on the lintel, maybe this side branch of their own family can be included in the genealogy, and there will be a memorial tablet in the ancestral hall in a hundred years.

When the two tigers got up, Cen Daonian asked him about the examination room. The two tigers answered one by one.

Jueming nodded, and let Zhong Xin squeeze in to have a look on the day when the list was unveiled. After a while, Zhong Xin happily squeezed out from the crowd, shouting loudly: "I got it! I got it! Wang Zhizhou! No.10!"

Wang Zhizhou, no, Wang Erhu pursed his lips excitedly, and couldn't help grinning stupidly. After laughing, he hurriedly turned around and ran to his parents, hugging them tightly.

The second elder patted his son on the back with tears in his eyes.

Seeing this situation, Jue Ming felt a little bit emotional. After passing the provincial test, the palace test is equivalent to ranking them again, and no one will be brushed off.

That night, the Shangshu Mansion was very lively, the wine cups collided, and the aroma of the wine wafted.

As soon as the list of Jinshi after the palace examination came out, many people wanted to submit posts to Wang Erhu. They heard that he lived in the Shangshufu and was a student taught by the Minister of Rites. Some people sent congratulatory notes to Wang Erhu.

The officials awarded Wang Zhizhou the post of secretary of the province. According to the officials, it means that Wang Zhizhou is still young and still has room for development. He needs to practice and study for a few years, which is the best for him.

Wang Erhu had no objection to this. He was an official, big and small, and he was able to stay in Bianjing, where he could often see his admired wife and childhood playmates.

Cassia Ming originally planned to leave in mid-March, but he didn't expect that a group of government servants came to the door and showed an "arrest warrant" saying they wanted to take Cassia Ming away.

Jue Ming asked calmly, "I don't know what I did?"

Because he was the eldest son of the Shangshu family, the yamen servant was very polite, and he answered Jue Ming: "The crime of deceiving the emperor."

When did you commit the crime of deceiving the emperor?Jue Ming was puzzled, and the two yamen servants bent down: "Please, Officer Cen, come with me."

Steward Zheng hurriedly took out the silver and handed it to the two of them, and stopped them, asking if it would be okay to take them away after Cen Shangshu came down.

The yamen servant pushed the silver, "This is an order from the official, and it is not easy for the young one to disobey, so please let the official go with the young one."

Steward Zheng stuffed the money again, "Please allow me to have a few words with the officials."

This time the two yamen servants did not refuse, they took the benefits and waited aside, Jue Ming explained a few things to Steward Zheng, followed the yamen servants, and was taken directly to prison.

The prison floor was very dry, and there was a plank bed in the corner. Cassia sat on the plank bed, looking up at the small palm-sized window.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the jailer brought a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickles, and Caesar ate it quietly, and put the bowls and chopsticks outside the wooden fence to be collected.

Early the next morning, Cen Daonian visited Jueming and saw that Jueming was still in a daze, not knowing why he had made a mistake.Cen Daonian sighed and said, "It's related to the Shiwen Liang Shop."

The group of people's murder was definitely not successful. Finally, the investigation found that after the seeds sold by the Shiwenliang shop were planted, harvesting and replanting would cause large-scale pests and diseases. Most of the rice and wheat would lose production, and various situations appeared.

Some people in the court said that someone with a heart wanted to murder the Song Dynasty. The evidence was convincing, and the emperor was furious.

After investigating for a period of time, those people found Judging and directly applied for an arrest warrant to take him away.

Naturally, hybrid rice and hybrid wheat cannot be replanted. After all, good traits can only be passed down to one generation. If their seeds are replanted, the traits will be separated. At that time, the yield of the seeds will not only decrease, but they will not even be as good as the ordinary seeds of the Song Dynasty. .

Cassia: "Before each shop sells seeds, they will explain that they cannot save the seeds for replanting, and they will also ask people to sign a contract, promising that they will not save the seeds for replanting, and the consequences will be at their own risk."

Cen Daonian comforted Jueming again, persuading him to reveal the person behind the scenes, and Caesar shook his head and said, "There is no one behind the scenes, only me."

Cen Daonian was stunned.

The Shiwen grain shop was actually run by Jue Ming alone? !He was only 13 years old at that time!

"I will sue." Cen Daonian said, "Since Shiwenliangpu has evidence."

Jue Ming nodded. It was time for the two to talk. Cen Daonian left in a hurry and went back to write the complaint.

Before Dali Temple had time to interrogate Jueming, Cen Shangshu's complaint turned the wind around and tried the matter again.

Cen Daonian was busy looking for witnesses to testify, as well as the complaint that Jue Ming mentioned.

When Shen Yan heard about this, he recalled those people who had close contact with Cassia Ming at the Shiwenliang Shop in Zaiyang Xian, and asked someone to find out where those people were now.

Dali Temple accepted the case and quickly issued a verdict, ruling Ming to be exiled.

Because those farmers could not read at all, many people complained to Shiwen Grain Shop, saying that they had to press their fingerprints when buying seeds, and they had never heard them say "seeds cannot be kept".

The few people who had close contacts with Cassia Ming disappeared without a trace. Some people said that they heard the news and absconded with money early.

Wanted posters are posted on the street.

Hearing from Weng Weng that Cen Shangshu's son was arrested, Li Xiurong emptied his small treasury to buy visiting time, and rushed to visit Jueming in prison.

"Cassia!" Li Xiurong stretched out his arms and waved at Cassia through the wooden fence.

Jue Ming, who was in a daze, got up and asked suspiciously, "Why are you here?"

"What the hell is going on here!" Li Xiurong reached to Cassia Ming and took his hand, "They said, you are going to be exiled!"

Jueming was puzzled, how could there be such a result because the evidence of Shiwen Liangpu was sufficient! ?

Li Xiurong gritted his teeth and said, "Wait until I take you out of prison!"

The jailer was on the side, Jue Ming was startled, and quickly covered his mouth, "Hush your voice, are you dying?"

Li Xiurong looked into his eyes firmly, "I'm serious."

"Where are you going to be exiled?" Jue Ming said, "It's not beheading, why are you so excited?"

Li Xiurong gritted his teeth, "The verdict hasn't come down yet, but I know it must be those remote and cold places."

Jue Ming comforted him in turn, "It's okay, as long as my life is alive." I don't know if Song Chao can appeal?

Seeing Jueming's indifferent appearance, Li Xiurong was angry and anxious, hammered the wooden fence twice, turned his head and left.

Fearing that Li Xiurong would do something stupid like robbing the prison on impulse, when Shen Yan came over, Jue Ming told about Li Xiurong.

Shen Yan went to find Li Xiurong, and Li Xiurong really recruited manpower, planning to take Cassia Ming away when he was exiled.

"It's inappropriate for you to do this." Shen Yan said, "You don't understand Mingming at all."

Li Xiurong's eyes were red, "What about you! How much do you know! Do you want to watch Cassia Ming being exiled?!"

Shen Yan opened his mouth and was about to defend himself, but Li Xiurong interrupted him, "Come on, you don't like Cassia as much as you imagined."

Shen Yan was stunned.

"You don't deserve to like him." Li Xiurong lowered his head and wiped the sword in his hand fiercely.

Li Xiurong quarreled with Shen Yan one-sidedly, took a dozen young people to practice swords in the suburbs every day, and took time to visit Cassia.

Luyi gradually climbed up the willow branches, and as the weather got warmer, the case took a new turn.

Shen Yan: "Don't worry, you will definitely not be exiled. I've found someone to persuade Your Majesty."

What kind of person can persuade officials to move?There are thousands of questions in Jueming's mind.

Shen Yan only said that he could meet with Caesar Ming after he was released from prison, he was very similar to Cassia Ming.

After a few days, Cassia was really released.

The author has something to say: Li Xiurong: You are not worthy! ! !
