Chapter 1038 Punishment
Zhang Haiping hurriedly left the palace, rode a horse, and arrived at Wang Gui's military camp, surrounded by the imperial guards.
When Wang Gui heard this, he thought it was okay. He immediately led thousands of troops and rushed to the Rites Yamen with Zhang Haiping for rescue. On the way, Wang Gui kept asking the soldiers to be gentle.
Although I don't know how Wu Nian will deal with it, these scholars are very delicate, and it would be bad if they become disabled.
"What did you say?"
Halfway through the journey, the two of them learned that Sunzi Jian, the students of Guozijian organized manpower to stop the candidates, and Wu Nian ordered the rescue. They were both stunned.
"It's quite interesting. I wonder what it's like for scholars to fight." Wang Gui laughed and said to Zhang Haiping.
"General Wang, don't delay any longer, go rescue people immediately." Zhang Haiping, the cabinet minister, said quickly with sweat on his forehead.
"Quickly go." Wang Gui waved his hand and ordered. The large group of people continued to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and then based on the spies' information, they came to the Imperial College, where Sun Tzu supervises students and fights with candidates and scholars.
The scene was one-sided.
Sun Tzu's students were strong and led the way, rushing into the crowd of candidates and scholars like tigers rushing into a flock of sheep.
The candidates and scholars were wailing all over the place and lying on the ground.
The students from the Imperial College were waving flags and shouting from behind.
"You guys who have no king and no father are in vain to be called scholars."
"Even if you are dissatisfied, you cannot organize yourself and attack the imperial court's Rites Office."
"Besides, the king gave you a chance, but you didn't dare to go and Sushun. So you missed the top fifteen."
"That's right. The opportunity is fair, but you don't dare. If you don't dare, then just accept the ranking. As a scholar, I am ashamed of you."
They were filled with righteous indignation and started to spray that neat thing.
There are countless candidates and scholars who are good at eloquence, but the students from Sun Tzu Supervisor were so powerful that they were beaten so hard that they could not speak, so they could only hold it in and almost suffered internal injuries.
Fortunately, at this moment, Wang Gui and Zhang Haiping led their troops to attack. Zhang Haiping shouted: "I am the cabinet minister Zhang Haiping. Everyone, please stand still and don't move."
"Yes. Don't move. Be obedient, lest my soldiers attack you lightly and do something to you."
Wang Gui shouted to help.
The chaotic scene immediately calmed down. The students in Sun Tzu Prison were all officers and generals in the national reserve. The military orders were like a mountain that penetrated into the bone marrow, and they immediately stood still.
The students from the Imperial College were waving flags and shouting from behind, but they immediately shut up when they heard this.
Candidates and scholars were either lying on the ground and wailing, or sitting on the ground in disheveled clothes, looking in a miserable state.
"Mr. Zhang Ge." Zhang Songshan had a bruised nose and swollen face, and his clothes were torn. He limped in front of Zhang Haiping and said aggrievedly and angrily: "These people beat up imperial scholars, and we ask Mr. Zhang Ge to make the decision for us.
"
"Please Mr. Zhang Ge, please make the decision for us." The candidates and scholars suppressed their grief and anger, kneeling on the ground or bowing in salute.
Wang Gui rode on the horse and said nothing.
Zhang Haiping looked at these people and then at Zhang Songshan.
It's you who are making trouble, and it's you who are asking for the decision.
Really thick-skinned.
Before Zhang Haiping could say anything, Sun Tzu Supervisor students beside him couldn't help it anymore. Someone rolled up his sleeves and shouted: "What's wrong with beating you? It's still light to beat you. You plan to attack the Rites Yamen. If you ask me, you should be beaten a hundred times."
, exiled for three thousand miles."
"That's right. He should be put in jail and held accountable."
"That's right. Get rid of your reputation and hold you accountable."
The students from Sunzijian and Imperial College shouted loudly.
Zhang Haiping looked at Zhang Songshan. Previously, he was full of praise and appreciation for Zhang Songshan's article. He thought that the imperial government had struck gold by opening a subject to recruit scholars.
Now when I look at it, I see that it is gold and jade on the outside but ruined on the inside.
Remembering Wu Nian's order again, he shook his head coldly and said, "It's wrong for them to beat people. But you may not be Jinshi."
After that, he said calmly: "The king may want to revoke your honors and never hire you. You have studied hard for ten years, why bother?"
"Ah?!!!" Zhang Songshan and others were dumbfounded when they heard this. The original unwillingness, anger, and desperation disappeared in an instant.
The Han Dynasty was strong and prosperous and had a bright future.
Study hard in the cold window, and get a title on the gold medal list. If you make one wrong move, you will lose your top ranking. If you make another wrong move, you will lose your fame?
And still never hired?
For scholars, this is more uncomfortable than killing them.
Zhang Songshan and others were so frightened that they began to tremble. Zhang Songshan seemed to have drained all the strength from his body and collapsed on the ground, like a ball of mud.
The rest of the scholars were not much better. A few of them were quite brave and managed to calm down and wanted to defend themselves with Zhang Haiping.
But Zhang Haiping ignored them and asked Wang Gui to lead the troops and took away all the scholars, candidates, students from Sunzijian and Guozijian.
Sunzijian, students of the Imperial College, when they heard that these guys might be stripped of their academic honors, they immediately rejoiced, "Yeah, yeah."
"Hahaha. Great King Shengming. You guys who have no king and no father, if you become an official, you are just an insect. It's better to get rid of you."
"That's right. People who are greedy for life and afraid of death are also lawless. Once you become an official, you are also a low-ranking official. Your Majesty is wise."
The students in Sunzijian and Guozijian all gloated over the misfortune.
The faces of the scholars and candidates were ashen. Then, Wang Gui took the two groups to the military camp for investigation. Zhang Haiping personally took charge, and Wang Gui was only responsible for guarding them.
It will be jointly reviewed by the three departments of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Although there were many people involved in the case, the court also had a lot of manpower, and the investigation was quickly concluded.
Zhang Haiping first reported the results, and then received the order. He asked Wang Gui to bring everyone to the school field, and he stood on the military platform to pronounce the verdict.
Zhang Haiping looked at the people below and said loudly: "Your Majesty has an order. Zhang Songshan, Li Guangyao, Chen Chong, Xiu Yuguo and others took the lead in making trouble. They will have their titles of Jinshi revoked and their whole family exiled to Sushun Mansion. They will never be hired."
"The rest of the candidates, scholars, general candidates, and Jinshi. I will give you two ways. One is to be sent to Sushun, and your honors will be retained."
"Second, your reputation will be removed and you will never be hired again."
"Students from Sunzi Jian and Guozijian beat up scholars in the street, which is unethical. But they knew something happened in Jiang County and were able to stand up. The merits and demerits are equal to each other."
"In addition, Sushun Mansion has 30,000 troops and lacks serious officers."
"There is a shortage of scholars in every county."
"Your Majesty plans to send one hundred Sunzijian and one hundred Guozijian each to serve in the army and serve as academic advisors and officials to promote Chinese language and Chinese characters. I hope you will sign up enthusiastically."
After Zhang Haiping's words fell, the people below him were suddenly transformed into a world of ice and fire.
Zhang Songshan and others' faces were ashen, and they fell to the ground, as limp as mud. It was over, it was all over.
Zhang Songshan even thought this was a joke. In the royal study, Jun was talking to him. Jun's father asked them to go and sushun, but they didn't dare.
As a result, he lost his fame and his whole family ended up being sent to Sushun.
I have to go to Sushun anyway. If I had known that I would be so generous and heroic, wouldn’t the number one scholar be mine?
If you make a mistake, you will regret it for eternity.
The students in Sunzijian and Imperial College rolled up their sleeves, happy and full of energy.
Reading for the Rise of Yanhan.
We are the bricks and mortar of the Han Dynasty. We will go wherever the king tells us to go.
