The results came soon from Dongchang.
After notifying Zhu Youtang, Xiao Jing personally came to the cabinet duty room and invited Liu Jian out. After the two talked outside for a while, Liu Jian returned to the duty room.
"How?" Xie Qian went over to ask.
Liu Jian shook his head, "I have sent people to Keqin's mansion and the Hanlin Academy, but I didn't find anything useful."
Xie Qian said with a smile, "That's right. , How can such a thing leave paper evidence? No matter how you look at it, it seems to be made out of nothing."
The general meaning is that there may be something, but the evidence is difficult to find.
Liu Jian looked at Li Dongyang, who had been sitting silently, and asked, "Binzhi, why did you bite Keqin in the court today?"
This is Liu Jian. Jian's biggest concern.
Liu Jian waited until Dongchang had completed the investigation and was sure that Cheng Minzheng would not be investigated again before asking Li Dongyang.
It can be said that the reason why Liu Jian stood in an ambiguous position and said he had no opinion before was because the views given by Li Dongyang made him unpredictable. < /p>
Li Dongyang looked very cautious and said, "If I were to say that some of those questions have been circling in my mind, and I have also thought about them as questions, would you agree with my point of pursuing the investigation?"
Xie Qian laughed and said, "Don't laugh at me, how is this possible?"
Originally, Xie Qian only thought that Li Dongyang was joking.
Looking carefully at Li Dongyang’s expression, the smile on Xie Qian’s face froze.
Li Dongyang’s serious face did not seem like he was joking.
Liu Jiandao, "If this is really the case, you should check the people around you carefully."
Li Dongyang picked up a Zhongyong anthology on the table and turned one of the pages to show the Showed it to Liu Jian and Xie Qian, and then said, "I just saw this two days ago."
"This"
Xie Qian went over to see it.
The chapter that Li Dongyang turned over corresponds to the topic of "A gentleman is neutral and does not rely on anything" in the second test question presented in the main hall. In other words, what Li Dongyang read a few days ago is actually Appeared in the examination question said to be written by Cheng Minzheng.
Liu Jian also looked very serious and said, "Who else has been to the cabinet in the past few days?"
Xie Qian recalled it, shook his head and said, "Keqin hasn't been here, so it stands to reason." Even if you read this page, you may not be able to answer the question you have in mind. I hope you will ask this question."
"Maybe."
Li Dongyang did not give an accurate answer.
The examiner hasn’t decided yet, and I haven’t even decided what the questions will be.
There was someone behind the scenes who helped him come up with the questions.
It came out very appropriately, in line with his expectations.
Liu Jian sighed, "No wonder you would do it in front ofSpeaking in front of colleagues, it is easy for His Majesty to think that you are guarding against Keqin. Speaking of which, his official career has not been going well in recent years."
Li Dongyang may not have wanted to fight Cheng Minzheng to the point of life and death.
Because Li Dongyang himself has already joined the cabinet. , Even if he is a little dissatisfied with Cheng Minzheng in terms of erudition, it will be difficult to compare with him in the future. As a cabinet minister of the Ming Dynasty, he probably knows how to let go of his prejudices.
Xie Qian said. Is there anyone who can figure out the problem?"
"Hmm"
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang looked at Xie Qian at the same time.
Xie Qian tried to analyze and said, "You guys Look, there was a lightning strike from the sky earlier, which caused the Qingning Palace to catch fire, and then there was the earthquake in Xinye, Henan Province.”
The implication is that Zhang Zhou did this.
Liu Jian shook his head, “What sense does it make?” Even if someone really has that magical power and can calculate the problem, he shouldn't publicize it everywhere. What's the benefit to him?"
Xie Qian originally just made a hypothesis with his imagination, and he almost believed it.
But after hearing Liu Jian's words, Xie Qian's illusions were instantly extinguished.
Li Dongyang seemed very upset, mainly because his thoughts were exposed by others. He looked very anxious and said, "Who can understand people's hearts? It seems that next year's examination will not be too simple. Even if no one raises the question, external public opinion will not give up." ”
The person who leaked the question was naturally Zhang Zhou.
This is the simplest, most direct and most effective way Zhang Zhou could think of to change the direction of next year’s competition.< /p>
Anyway, the butterfly effect has started, and the questions for the next year’s general examination are basically impossible to keep. It’s better to take advantage of the effect before the effect expands and release the real historical test questions for the 12th year of Hongzhi’s general examination for you. It is a question in advance. As long as the question has appeared and it has caused discussion in the DPRK, it is no longer a question.
Zhang Zhou did not understand why he had to do this at first. >
But after he finished it, he thought about it and realized that he had to do this.
Because
He is too high-profile now. Historically, it was Tang Yin and Xu. Once he is involved in this case, it is very likely that because of his high profile, those who compete with him will easily turn their jealousy on him, and they will also involve him.
Don't count on the emperor's favor. .
Cheng Minzheng was admired by the emperor, and he was his mentor from beginning to end.
In the end, he died of cruel torture in the imperial edict.
The king of hell is easy to deal with, but the kid is difficult to deal with.
So far, he has not had any interaction with the civil servant group, and the civil servants will not treat him as one of their own when encountering such a big problem. When something happens, the civil servants are likely to use public opinion to drag this unique scholar into the ditch.
Even if the emperor wants to protect him, it does not mean that he will be able to save him.
As long as anyone is involved in it, expect the judicial system of the Ming Dynasty toTo give him justice, the death of Cheng Minzheng and the downfall of Tang Yin's life are the best negative cases.
In the past two days, Zhang Zhou had no intention of thinking about the consequences of releasing the questions.
Because he has two more noble disciples here to "make trouble", namely Zhou Ying, the eldest son of Qingyun Hou, and Zhou Tang, the eldest son of Chang Ningbo.
This pair of cousins.
They themselves looked down on Zhang Zhou, but their aunt had an order and had to come.
Zhou Ying was already in her thirties, while Zhou Tang was younger, about the same age as Zhang Zhou. The two of them came directly to the door, without asking for apprenticeships. They just said they would run errands for Zhang Zhou, which is a nice way of saying it.
To put it bluntly, they are just here to follow Zhang Zhou, and they have to supervise Zhang Zhou wherever he goes.
The cousins arrived less than an hour before they went back home, saying they would come back the next day.
It was difficult to cope with the fortifications.
Zhu Feng was a little unwilling and pulled Zhang Zhou to complain, "Brother Zhang, you must remember my going to the northwest. You can't let anyone else go, not even that kid Zhang Lun."
p>
Zhu Feng was very afraid that the opportunity he had to make meritorious deeds would slip by.
Now that even the Zhou family has begun to send people to Zhang Zhou, he realizes that it seems that Zhang Zhou cannot be trapped without resorting to any means.
Zhang Zhou said, "I will do what I promised you. As for the two relatives, do you think I really want to greet them? If they come again recently, you will say that I am preparing for the exam at home and have no time to entertain them. We’ll talk about it after the examination is over.”
Zhang Zhou really didn’t like this way of leading apprentices.
It would be okay if we gave him some good seeds.
They are all a group of Xun Erdai who have no great skills and even struggle to mount a horse. What can they do?
Zhang Lun’s situation is considered to be the best among them. He has been practicing since he was a child. Wu.
Because Zhu Feng was not the successor of the family, he only practiced martial arts for more than a year. Later, he did not study well enough to pass the county examination. As for the two brothers of the Zhou family, they were not from the Wu Xun family. It's a child of a maternal relative, let alone hope for any future.
Zhu Feng sighed, "Who told you that you are so capable? You are probably just like my father now, and you want me to become famous with you. Do you think it will be difficult for the children of these princes and nobles to live well?"
p>
"Haha."
Zhang Zhou sneered at his statement, "You should be born in a poor family while guarding Jinshan and complaining so much. Let's see if you still have the time to spare."
p>Inside the palace.
On this day, Zhu Houzhao went to Kunning Palace to have a reunion dinner with his wife and his family of four.
After eating, Zhu Houzhao specifically asked his father to test his talents, and his son took the initiative to call his father to the side hall of Kunning Palace.
"Is something wrong?"
As soon as Zhu Youtang saw this posture, he knew that his son had nothing to hold in his stomach.
You are so resistant to studying, but your mother is the only one who takes the exam voluntarily.I believe your lies
Zhu Houzhao said, "Father, I went to Qianqing Palace yesterday and saw a sand table over there."
"Oh."
Zhu Youtang nodded, "So what, it's not just for playing, don't ask me to give it to you."
Zhu Youtang has always put the sandbox made by Zhang Zhou on the dry He would go and study the apse of the Qing Palace if he had nothing to do.
Zhang Zhou marked it so clearly, Zhu Youtang also tried to imagine the war that might happen in it with the mind of a coach.
My son always goes to Qianqing Palace when he has nothing to do, and it doesn’t matter if he is seen.
Zhu Houzhao said, "I went back and compared the atlas of northwest China that Zhang Zhou had drawn for me, and found that it was the terrain map around Piantou Pass. Is there going to be a war?"
"What"
When Zhu Youtang heard this, his head buzzed, and blood almost spurted out of his ears.
How did this brat know such a secret?
Someone must have revealed it to him
Zhu Houzhao is like a little leopard, with eyes that radiate A strange light "My son also saw some marks on it, and he guessed that the Tatars were probably going to kill them soon. My father wanted to make secret preparations and send troops to encircle and annihilate them."
Zhu Youtang said coldly, "Who told you?"
"Then the father has admitted that this happened." Zhu Houzhao refused to let go.
Zhu Youtang said, "Do you want to be punished? Answer my question?"
Zhu Houzhao said with a distressed look on his face, "No one told Erchen, Erchen was just comparing himself to Zhang Zhou." I gave you the atlas, if you don’t believe me, my father will read it.”
After saying that, Zhu Houzhao took out a book from his arms.
To be precise, it is a hand-drawn map.
The above describes the situation in various places in the northwest in detail. It was painted by Zhang Zhou when he was in retreat. Originally, Zhu Houzhao only asked him to take it back as a souvenir because he liked these things.
Zhang Zhou did this because he felt that he had to rely on his sons to use troops in the northwest.
You can’t rely on your father who is famous for his kindness and filial piety.
It’s just that Zhu Youtang is not dead yet, and the passing of the throne is still a bit far away.
Who knew that although Zhu Houzhao was only a child, he showed great talent for military affairs. Coupled with his enthusiasm and research, he could only look at the sand table in the back hall of Qianqing Palace and the atlas of Zhang Zhou. After a little comparison and analysis, I guessed what Zhu Youtang has not yet told the ministers. Please remember to collect it. The latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
