430 Sophisticated and Practical (2 in 1)

"I am willing to support Agabarji as the new Mongolian Khan!"

Just as the leaders of the Mongolian tribes were hesitating, the King of the Sci-joy stood up and expressed his attitude directly.

The king of Saika was the brother of the Grand Tutor Yeshen. He stood up and expressed his opinion almost as much as Yeshen’s meaning. No matter whether this was true or a false support for Agabarji, at least no one present dared to publicly sing a counter-tune.

"The Chahar tribe is willing to support Agabarji as the Mongolian Khan!"

"Tainingwei agrees!"

"The Tumote tribe has no objection!"

"Fu Yuwei agrees!"

The tribal leaders expressed their opinions one after another, and it was so exciting to Agabarji's ears that he never expected that he had such prestige and recognition in the hearts of the Mongolian tribes.

Immediately stood up and said enthusiastically: "As the descendants of Genghis Khan, if our Taiji became a Mongolian Khan, he would definitely step on the Central Plains and let the Han people's farmland become our horse farm!"

"When you can share the flower world of the Central Plains with all the leaders, and you will never go back on your word!"

Agabarji's statement naturally attracted the praise of the leaders of the alliance tribes, but this scene fell into the eyes of the Taishi Yeshen, and a cold light flashed under his smiling expression.

If Agabarji had peace of mind as a puppet, he might have endured it for a few years before usurping the position of Khan.

Now it seems that Agabarji really treats himself as the future Khan, so he must be sentenced in advance to become a dead person!

The battles in the north of the Mo was beginning to spread, and the capital was also in a turbulent situation. On the ninth day of the second month of the first year of Jingtai, more than 3,000 scholars from the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty came to Shuntian Gongyuan, preparing to win a chance to get a gold list title, thereby changing his destiny.

The Imperial Examination in the year of Yiji was the first Encyclopedia that was ushered in after the reform of the imperial examination system of the orthodox dynasty. Compared with Chen Yichen's participation in the Yichou dynasty, the number of candidates in the Yichou dynasty whom Chen Yichen has dropped significantly, thus further demonstrating the value of the examination.

Chen Yichen and Yang Hongze sat on the Mingyuan Building in the tribute courtyard, waiting for the ceremony to worship Confucius's Holy Master outside, led by the Minister of Rites Hu Yi, the tribute gate opened wide and entered the examination room.

At this moment, Chen Yichen's face was a hint of fatigue visible to the naked eye. The reason was that during the few days he had been locked in the tribute court, he did not just wait for a few days to rest, but instead he had to discuss the council examination questions with the officials of the Ministry of Rites!

Yang Hongze and officials from the Ministry of Rites tended to give questions in a variety of Confucian righteousness and sages. On the contrary, Chen Yichen was unwilling to admit some candidates who only talked about moral principles. He wanted to combine the test questions with current affairs and could select a group of professional officials who were practical for the country.

It is obvious that this kind of disagreement in concepts is difficult to reach a compromise.

If the reason doesn't make sense, then we can only compete with who is tougher. Relying on the identity of the Grand Secretary of the Palace and the Minister of War, Chen Yichen vividly demonstrated what it means to crush people at the first level of official position, and finally won the first four books title.

Moreover, because of Chen Yichen's toughness, Yang Hongze became more and more dissatisfied. The two sat together in Mingyuan Building in the Gongyuan, but they always had a stern face and looked like they would never interact with each other.

Of course, Daobi is not planning to do anything, and Chen Yichen didn't think about paying attention to Yang Hongze. It would be nice to shut up like this.

At the entrance of the Gongyuan, large portraits of Master Confucius and various sacrifices were placed. The students from the two capitals and thirteen provinces were divided into small groups according to their different regions, among which the provincial government offices and provincial governments were at the forefront.

In the Zhejiang Provincial Administration Camp, there is a very familiar face in Chen Yichen standing in the head. He met He Wendao at the West Lake Elegant Festival.

Compared with other candidates who looked different from expectant, nervous and excited, He Wendao frowned at this moment, his face looked extremely solemn, as if he was having a fierce ideological struggle in his mind.

"Brother He, the president of this exam is Sanyuan and Digege Master Chen. I heard that you had had an intersection with him at the West Lake Festival. In addition to the identity of President Chen Xue, I believe that he will be treated differently!"

A fellow Zhejiang student did not notice the expression on He Wendao's face and congratulated him on his own.

Since the West Lake Collection, Chen I remembered the theory of "using the world and seeking truth from the truth" in Jiangnan, which was swept through the open literary style at the speed of wind sweeping away the wind and remnants of clouds. Many literati regard this practical theory as a treasure.

In addition, Chen Yichen's soldiers in Fujian completed the rebellion without bloodshed, and the subsequent rebel soldiers and the people were properly resettled. Everyone had land to farm, every household had surplus food, and the living environment had earth-shaking changes.

This kind of reputation brought by applying what you learn and practicing what you say is far beyond all kinds of empty theories. If the "shenxue" in the past was just the prototype of a moduhu, then many academies in the south of the Yangtze River now have a place for social studies.

Among them, He Wendao even founded the Chen Xue Society himself and became the first president, which led to the scene where the scholars of Jiangnan came to congratulate him.

"This is a bad statement!"

The Fujian Governor-General, who was standing aside, immediately refuted.

"In the summer of Fujian peasant son, thanks to the favors brought by the old man Chen to quell the rebellion, he can be said to be remembered in his heart."

"Gei Chen was fair during his time in Fujian. He had never acted favoritism. I know that this friend's words were not malicious. But with Brother He's talent, if he was on the list of gold in the future, this statement will not only belittle Brother He, but will also damage Mr. Chen's reputation. I hope to be careful!"

This Zhejiang scholar thought that the Fujian scholar was coming to find fault with him. However, he never expected that the other party would support Mr. Chen so much and would not allow any possible stains.

It can only be said that justice is in the hearts of the people. Chen Yichen's actions in Fujian for one and a half years have won the hearts of the people in the Fujian area!

"This brother reminded me, like a sudden enlightenment, and I was making a mistake."

"polite."

The conversation between He Wendao quickly attracted the attention of other waiting camps of scholars.

After all, no matter whether you believe in Chen Xue or not, Chen Yichen is now the president of the examination. If you want to be won, you have to agree with his preferences. Any news about the examiner cannot be missed.

"Is Mr. Chen so prestige so high in the hearts of Fujian scholars?"

"As the saying goes, bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like combs. When the land of Fujian was occupied by rebels, the imperial army would definitely see a bloody scene. The veterans of the Chengemen completed the rebellion without blood, which undoubtedly saved the lives of the Fujian people. How could they have no prestige?"

"It makes sense. From this point of view, Master Chen is really talented and has a very ancient style from generals and ministers!"

Some people praise it, but naturally some people slander it. Song Luan, the descendant of the "Song School" in eastern Zhejiang, said with disdain: "Talented but do not follow the right path. What's the use of such talent?"

Soon someone next to him agreed: "The theory of "Shen Xue's teachings of merits can be widely circulated, which is simply a shame for our literati!"

"A literati has his own integrity and pride. Even if he is Chen Sanyuan as the president of the examination, he will not give up on the teachings of sages and exchange his utilitarian heart for fame."

These words immediately triggered a scholar to refute: "Who is the shame of a literati? Chen Ge Lao's theory is empty and righteous, I'm afraid he refers to someone like you!"

"Ge Lao Chen once said, what is the right way and what is the wrong way. Doing things should be judged regardless of your heart. Rights and wrongs will be judged by future generations!"

Soon this debate became more and more serious, and more and more scholars took the exam participated. No one expected that a simple compliment would turn into a conflict of academic views.

However, this also indirectly shows that the views put forward by Chen Yichen have been spread among the scholars of all over the world in sects, otherwise such a fierce scene would not have been triggered.

Just as the smell of gunpowder among scholars with different positions became stronger and stronger, the sound of "Clang" gongs came from afar. In an instant, the entire Shuntian Gongyuan Square was silent. Everyone respectfully divided a way to welcome the arrival of Hu Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Although Chen Yichen and Yang Hongze were appointed as the chief examiners of the Inner Curtain, the nominal highest tribute officer was the Minister of Rites Hu Yi. He had to lead the scholars to study the exam together to release Confucius's predecessors and complete the pre-examination ceremony before the exam.

Hu Yi served as Minister of Rites for decades and participated in the release ceremony of several sessions. He has long been familiar with all this.

He worshiped the statue of Confucius for four times, then burned incense, finally had six music and six music dances. After the entire lecture ceremony, Hu Yi turned around and looked at the thousands of students present, and spoke some encouraging words.

"After ten years of hard study, I will finally jump into the Dragon Gate today. You are all outstanding talents in the Ming Dynasty and brilliant new stars who will enter the cabinet and enter the altar in the future. I hope that no matter when and where you are, you will not forget the teachings of sages and use your life to help the country and the country in times of difficulties."

"When I am on the imperial list tomorrow, I will have a banquet with you again!"

The passionate words of the Minister of Rites Hu Yi made many scholars present feel excited.

Maybe in the future, it will slowly change color and corrode in the turbid officialdom, but at least at this moment, most people are thinking about Kang Gang’s husband’s ambition and being a loyal and filial piety family!

After saying these encouraging words, Hu Yi was about to leave the tribute court with the officials. At the same time, the officers also put their hands on the door bolt of the Shuntian tribute court and slowly pushed open the gantry that was about to change the fate of the scholar.

But at this moment, a young scholar stepped out of the line and stood in front of the departing Minister of Rites Hu Yi and others.

"Da Zongbo, a student who has been reading the books of sages for ten years, never dared to forget Mr. Hengqu's four sentences of teachings, establishes his mind for the heaven and earth, establishes his destiny for the living people, inherits his unique knowledge for the past sages, and opens peace for all generations."

"It is said that reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. During the preparations for the exam in the capital, students traveled all over the Northern Zhili. They found that under the collusion between officials, gentry, and businessmen, the people were actually in poverty. They left the nine gates of the capital, which were covered by peace by the prefect of Shuntian, and there were hunger everywhere on both sides of the road."

"The students wrote to the yamen with great enthusiasm, but there was no news. Today, Da Zongbo's words reminded the students of their original intention of reading the books of sages, and they also hope that all the civil and military officials in the court could look down on the people and the people!"

No one expected that at an important time such as the opening of the imperial examination and the recruitment of scholars, a scholar would stand up to plead for the people, and he would stop Hu Yi, the Minister of Rites, who was the magistrate of the tribute.

In addition to being shocked, even the officers and soldiers of the five cities who were guarding the military officers and soldiers were stunned for a moment and did not come to pick up the scholars who asked for their appointments. There have been many crazy students throughout history, and the first one who dared to influence the exam was probably the first one.

After all, Hu Yi has been an official for decades and has never seen any storms in the five dynasties. He was the first to come back to his senses and asked, "My friend, what's your name?"

"Student, why did you, a scholar who took the exam in Quzhou, Zhejiang!"

Before Hu Yi could reply, the censor next to him shouted loudly: "Be arrogant, rush to the main lord, disrupt the order of the examination, and follow the rules to remove fame and fortune!"

"Where is the military commander in the five cities? I will suppress such a crazy person first. I will wait for my official to send a letter to the Confucian scholarship department and will never be hired!"

These words made the students present take the exam subconsciously take a breath.

After all, for a scholar, he studied hard all his life to learn literature and martial arts, goods and imperial families. As a result, because of a moment of impulse, he was not only expelled from fame, but also completely cut off the path of imperial examinations, which was no different from the death penalty!

Hearing the punishment of the censor, Hu Yi wanted to ease the sentence, but changed it to a lighter punishment. After all, everyone came from young people. The scholar saw the unfair things in the world and made irrational actions in an impulse, giving him a chance to forgive.

Unexpectedly, He Wendao replied without fear in the face of the punishment of the Censor: "Students can accept any punishment, just to ask Da Zongbo to bring the sufferings of the people to heaven."

"I'll go even if there are thousands of people!"

He Wendao never forgot that at the West Lake Elegant Collection, Chen Yichen answered the way of the saint.

The way of a saint is not in words or in heart, but in actions. Instead of a group of people discussing what the way of a saint is, it is better to go out and go deep into the countryside and see the sufferings of the people and the soldiers are bleeding.

It is better to act than to speak. Even if you can only help and save one person, you are a saint in the eyes of the other person.

He Wendao practiced the practical application of the world. After seeing that the people of Northern Zhili faced the soaring food prices, they had to sell their children and daughters. After aparting their bodies, they resolutely chose to plead for the people!

But he was holding the petition, but he ran into a wall everywhere in the capital. Even the ministers of the cabinet were helpless in such a matter of disaster relief and helping the people. Which yamen or official dared to accept He Wendao's petition?

This is why He Wendao recklessly collided with the sect. Only in a place where the test is highly anticipated, will there be so many high-ranking officials gathering to make the people suffer from the sufferings.

As for his fate, He Wendao never considered it.

He always interprets his name with his own actions.

If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening.

"Why are you still standing there? Just drag such arrogant people down!"

The censor naturally understood that the suffering brought about by soaring grain prices in the north is currently a powder keg, and whoever touches will be unlucky.

Since the problem cannot be solved, we can only solve the person who raised the problem first. This time, facing He Wendao's stubbornness, even Hu Yi, the Minister of Rites, chose to make a decision, and he could not respond to how to provide disaster relief to the people.

Soon a group of officers and soldiers rushed over and captured He Wendao and prepared to take him away. Even if he struggled hard, how could the weak scholar be the opponent of so many officers and soldiers? He was instantly carried off the ground.

Many of the onlookers were taking the exam, and many of them showed unbearable expressions on their faces, but none of them had the courage to hear the Dao.
