Wang Sheng packed himself up and slowly boarded Ji's carriage.
"Brother Sheng."
Ji Shaohuai was sitting in the carriage. When he saw Wang Sheng coming up, he waved his fan and shouted leisurely.
"Brother Ji."
After Wang Sheng sat down, he nodded sideways and said, "Thank you."
"Hey!"
Ji Shaohuai stretched out his left hand and waved it a few times, "Brother Sheng, what you are doing is nothing more than just passing by. Besides, you are my good friend, how can I not take you with me?"
Wang Sheng smiled.
Previously, Ji Shaohuai came to the school in person to tell him that after discussing with his classmates, they decided to hold a teacher-appreciation banquet on the ninth day of September, which was an auspicious day.
Wang Sheng had packed up his belongings before returning home and waited for the teacher-appreciation banquet to be over before he could return home the next day.
Ji Shaohuai took out a letter from his arms, stuffed it into Wang Sheng's arms, and said mysteriously: "Brother Wang, you can open it when you go back. I will go to your home in a few days." I'll tell you your decision when the time comes."
"Decision?"
Wang Sheng took the letter, glanced at the untitled letter, and talked about these two things to Ji Shaohuai. He repeated the word unconsciously.
He understood it instantly, put the letter in his arms, raised his head and cast his eyes on the leisurely and contented Ji Shaohuai.
"I will consider it."
"I like people like Brother Sheng."
Ji Shaohuai also knew that he could not hide it for long, so he leaned on the car He said calmly: "If you can choose a college, then you and I can be classmates again. Maybe Yang Zimei and Kong Nianwen will also go together. Thinking about it..."
He paused for a moment , looked back at Wang Sheng, and continued: "I don't know about this person. Logically speaking, he should stay in the academy, after all, his teacher is here. However, rumors say that he has obtained a place in the academy and will be attending the academy soon. Enrollment. "
In the Jian'an Township Examination in the 10th year of Tianqi's reign, Yang Zimei ranked thirty-sixth, Kong Nianwen ranked second, and Shen Sizhi ranked third.
"Thinking about..."
Wang Sheng was not deeply impressed by this person and never spent time on him.
"That's all."
Ji Shaohuai shook his head to himself, looked at Wang Sheng again, and said with a serious face: "Other people's affairs have nothing to do with us. Brother Sheng , you have to think about it carefully, I have been begging for this for a long time!"
He emphasized that he even sat upright for this.
Wang Sheng twitched the corner of his mouth and responded helplessly: "I have already understood Brother Ji's kindness, so I will naturally consider it more. If you are worried, I will open it now and let you know the result later."
"Don't!"
Ji Shaohuai stopped him immediately. Seeing that Wang Sheng had no intention of taking action, he sat back, waved his fan and said leisurely: "It's still a while before you start school, you CanThink about it slowly, understand it from heart to heart, and cooperate with your actions. "
Wang Sheng responded seriously: "That's natural. "
Ji Shaohuai looked at Wang Sheng's serious response and was not used to it. He immediately changed the topic and discussed the teacher-appreciation banquet.
"The teacher-appreciation banquet is held outside the city gate mainly to avoid taboos. "
He lowered his voice and explained: "In the past, the government would host banquets to entertain the people, but now there are clear restrictions, so no one dares to commit crimes against the trend. Although we held a banquet to thank our teachers, we were afraid that someone would have ulterior motives and report our banquet to the government. "
"The government still manages banquets? "
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
After Wang Sheng asked, he immediately reacted and said with emotion: "It's because he is afraid of forming a party for personal gain! "
Ji Shaohuai nodded and explained: "In recent years, the investigation of this matter in Beijing has been extremely strict. As long as there is no family celebration, they will hold a big banquet, and they will be impeached by the imperial secretary, and even more serious. Then the house will be ransacked. ”
“Friends get together, do you agree?” ”
“If there are more than ten people, it is considered a banquet. "
Wang Sheng was really confused about this and could only sigh: "Maybe the situation is serious. "
"But in such a situation, some people also hold banquets. These rules are just rules for us. "
Ji Shaohuai shook his fan and said slowly: "Behave as a scholar, as a civil servant, but not as a military attache, general, and cabinet. "
After he finished speaking, he nodded again and added: "There are no rules for the imperial clan, but this rule has no real meaning, and the clan withered. "
Wang Sheng can probably guess the reason. The founding emperor died early, and only two descendants were left alive.
"This rule..."
Wang Sheng couldn't explain the reason, but it was probably because the rules were too strange, too strange to be described in words.
"This rule was promulgated in the year when the Holy Emperor passed away. ”
“No, this is not in line with and not conducive to the emperor. "
Wang Sheng then shook his head and further explained: "All military attaches and generals can hold banquets, why can only the cabinet members be allowed to do so? ”
To be precise, this provision is not in the interest of the ruler.
He can promulgate a policy, but when this policy benefits only a small number of people At this time, you should think about whose interests are affected and what kind of struggle will be caused.
For rulers, giving profits to high-ranking officials and nobles while restricting lower-level officials is not a case of grasping the small and magnifying it.
Besides, when it comes to ending the party, aren’t high-ranking officials and nobles more harmful?
Let alone military attachés and generals, aren’t they afraid of supporting their own troops?
“This provision? , was promulgated by the cabinet after the death of the Holy Emperor. "
Ji Shaohuai shook his fan and said softly with the corner of his mouth: "It was said that the Holy Emperor ordered the cabinet to draw up the plan when he was still alive. Many people didn't believe it when it was first announced, but when it turned out that a fifth-grade official was accused of forming a party and his house was confiscated, everyone had to believe it. Because, no matter how hard you believe it, you still don't believe it. , I am deeply afraid that like this person, the elder will die and the younger will be sent to the frontier."
"No matter what else, if it was really ordered by the Holy Spirit, why not promulgate it while he was still alive? Moreover, many regulations were abolished. That’s all.”
He used a sarcastic tone to talk through the hardships of the promulgation, focusing on the rationality of the promulgation.
Wang Sheng followed his train of thought and continued: "There may be something fishy about this matter. We can't just look at who the promulgation of this regulation is bad for, but also who is good for it. Moreover, if I If I am not mistaken, the fact that books related to the Holy Emperor became banned is also related to this."
Ji Shaohuai nodded, but did not continue. Instead, he raised the corner of his mouth and said mockingly: "They will tell many things. , were all placed on the Holy Emperor. Everyone in the court knew it, but there was no clue. At that time, there was chaos in the capital, and the Holy Emperor was powerless and seriously ill. He did not ascend the throne immediately, but held the enthronement ceremony after the Holy Emperor passed away. One year later."
"A whole year!"
Wang Sheng originally lowered his head, thinking about the news just now, but after hearing this, he immediately raised his head.
From the side, Ji Shaohuai could see Wang Sheng's deep eyes and the unknown meaning in his eyes.
There is so much that can be accomplished in one year.
Wang Sheng did not dare to think deeply, and calmly narrated: "If I remember correctly, the poetry meeting at that time had exceeded the number of people in the gathering, right? Why did the Yang family never avoid taboos?"
There are more than ten people in Class B alone, let alone those in Class A.
