In the main hall of the Ministry of Rites, I heard a commotion outside the yamen. The officials were roaring and shouting with passion, and several court officials were running around in panic. After a while, Lv Zhen, the Minister of Rites, came in a hurry with the ministers on his left and right, and several court officials rushed over.
The officer hurriedly came up to meet him and talked about the matter in a flurry of words.
Zuo Shilang said angrily: "These men are not good at arts and have not graduated from high school, so they are going to stir up trouble? My lord, send someone to Yingtian Mansion. The Five Cities Military and Horse Division will call for the officers to disperse them!"
"No!"
Lu Zhen twirled his beard, thought for a moment, and said: "It is true that our Ministry of Etiquette is the yamen that manages academic affairs and imperial examinations, but this examiner was appointed by the emperor. The undergraduate examiner is Mr. Xie, the chief assistant of the cabinet.
Mr. Xie Ge has a noble character. If you say that he followed the law for personal gain and unfairly selected scholars, I will not believe him."
The ministers on the left and right nodded again and again, and Lu Zhen said again: "The imperial examinations are the hope of their lives for the candidates who have lived in poverty for ten years. If they do something extraordinary out of misunderstanding, or are bewitched by others, and are inspired to do something extraordinary,
This is also human nature. You and I are both scholars, and we have all gone through the torture of scientific examinations, so we should be considerate of them."
The ministers on the left and right and all the officials and ministers felt that Lord Shangshu's words were sincere and reasonable, so they couldn't help but nod their heads frequently.
Lu Chen added: "Besides, if we don't care about the facts and just beat them out, it will not only hurt the hearts of these people, but also make them misunderstand the court even more, and it will not be a good thing for Mr. Xie Ge.
You guys will think that our officials in the Ministry of Rites have a real understanding of the crime of the elder Ge, who violated the law for personal gain. Aren't we self-defeating?"
Zuo Shilang said sincerely: "What your Excellency said is true, so what should we do?"
Lu Zhen said: "True gold is not afraid of fire! We have appeased the disciples and reported the matter to the emperor. The imperial court will investigate and get to the bottom of it. The truth will be announced to the students all over the world. The matter will naturally subside, the students' resentment can be resolved, and the imperial court's prestige can be restored."
If you persist, the sewage on Mr. Xiege’s body can also be washed away!”
Everyone praised it for being wonderful, so Lu Zhen formally ordered the right servant to go out and appease the emperor, telling them to be calm and wait until they are ready. The Ministry of Rites will report the matter to the court and give everyone an explanation. He also asked the left servant to come in immediately.
Gong Mian Sheng explained the situation to the emperor and asked the emperor to immediately order a thorough investigation in order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further and causing uncontrollable chaos.
As for him, he was worried that the turmoil among his disciples would turn into a turmoil, so he personally took charge of the Ministry of Rites. At the same time, he contacted Yingtian Mansion and the Wucheng Military and Horse Division to mobilize people to prevent the situation from getting further.
After receiving Lu Zhen's order, they immediately rushed to work and were busy. For a while, Lu Zhen was the only one left in the lobby.
Lu Zhengao was sitting behind the official case, holding a pile of files in his hand, and twirling the inner pages of the files with his thumbs. He couldn't help but smile when he remembered the humiliation of Xie Jin throwing refutation of the official letter to him in person and scolding Ruxun, a small official!
The ministers were comforted by the Ministry of Rites, and all the ministers gathered together to talk about it. They felt that since the Ministry of Rites had made its attitude clear, it was inconvenient to be reluctant, and they couldn't really attack the Ministry of Rites. Wouldn't that be self-defeating?
While everyone was discussing, someone in the crowd shouted: "Please ask the Imperial College to do justice to all the students!"
All the soldiers immediately had a direction and headed towards the Imperial Academy at the foot of Jilong Mountain.
Imperial College.
The Imperial Concubine Jijiu gathered together with officials of all sizes, including doctors, teaching assistants, direct lecturers, eunuchs, chief registrars, etc. They blocked the gate of the Imperial College and discussed the requests of the imperial concubines who had complained of their grievances.
The Imperial College was not only the highest institution of higher learning in the Ming Dynasty, but also the highest administrative office of the official school. The Imperial College and the Imperial Academy were integrated into one, and it had administrative functions. It was also responsible for organizing the release ceremony of new Jinshi, etc., so it also had certain questions about the affairs of the candidates.
Responsibility for inquiry.
Regarding the complaints and complaints made by the candidates, everyone has very different opinions. Some people think that the Imperial College does not need to intervene in the matter and it should be resolved by the Ministry of Rites. Others think that this concerns students all over the country and the Imperial College should not take it lightly. Some people look indifferent.
, you can take care of it, you can do it regardless, you can do Tai Chi there.
The current imperial minister is named Chen Anzhi. Chen Anzhi sat cross-legged and listened quietly to everyone's opinions. The doctors, teaching assistants, and supervisors were at loggerheads, and finally they all looked at him. Chen Anzhi's eyes seemed to be closed but not closed.
He seemed to be dozing off, but as soon as everyone stopped talking, his eyes suddenly opened.
Chen Anzhi said vigorously: "The Imperial College is a place to cultivate talents for the imperial court. We have cultivated talents, and they must be recruited through scientific examinations before they can serve the country. If there is unfairness in the imperial court's recruitment of scholars, An Neng will have no impact on our Imperial College? This matter
, you have to take care of it! Fang Jiancheng, go and ask the disciples to write down their petitions, and I will submit them to the Holy Emperor on their behalf!"
When the doctors, teaching assistants, direct lectures, supervisors, chief registrars and other officials saw that Lord Jijiu had made the decision, they stopped talking. After a while, the students of the Imperial College who were waiting outside got the decision from Lord Jijiu and immediately
Raise your arms, cheer, and respond to the praise loudly.
Chen Anzhi, the prince of the state, was a protégé of Yuan Tai, the former imperial envoy to the right capital of the Imperial Procuratorate.
Yuan Tai was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Hongwu. He served as the county magistrate of Lingxian County and later Luoshan County. He served as the censor of Youdu successively. He was an honest and rigorous official, impartial and impartial in enforcing the law, and was selfless. He was an official who was as clear as water and as bright as a mirror.
He was very loved by the people. But not all good officials are without faults. Yuan Tai also had faults. His fault was that he liked Zhu Yuanzhang and liked to make small reports.
In fact, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was originally responsible for supervising the officials on behalf of the emperor, and it was his duty to make small reports on the officials. However, Mr. Yuan would make small reports on anything, including other people's adultery matters, such as quarrels between husband and wife, and unethical sons.
As long as he hears such things, he will report them to the emperor.
Xie Jin was working as Zhu Yuanzhang's personal secretary at the time and could often hear him, so he despised Yuan Tai and disdained this kind of snitching behavior.
Later, Jie Jin impeached a member of the Ministry of War for neglecting their duties, which offended Shen Qian, the Minister of War at the time. Shen Qian counter-sued. As a result, he was demoted by Emperor Hongwu to be the Supervisory Envoy of Jiangxi Province and became a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. At that time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was factional.
The struggle was very fierce. Since Xie Jin looked down on Yuan Tai, he became a faction of Yuan Tai's rival Wang Guoyong. Dai Guoyong used Shang Shu to impeach Yuan Tai, and Yuan Tai was punished for it.
But soon, because Xie Jin was unruly and unruly and offended people everywhere, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he was arrogant and did not practice self-study. He should sharpen his spirit, so he gave him a "suspension with salary" and asked him to go home with his salary and continue.
He went to study academics. At that time, Emperor Hongwu said that he would not be appointed again after ten years.
As a result, Hongwu passed away and Jianwen came to power. Xie Jin was eager to become an official and couldn't wait to return to the capital. After Jianwen came to power, Yuan Tai regained his position. After hearing the news, he immediately impeached Xie Jin. He returned to the capital without waiting for the time specified by Taizu, and his mother
Before the funeral, his father was old and left to travel far away, showing disloyalty and unfilial piety. Jianwen was the most particular about etiquette and filial piety, so he demoted Xie Jin to Lanzhou as a company clerk.
When Zhu Di was successful in the Jingnan effort, Xie Jin took refuge with Zhu Di and rose to the top. Naturally, Yuan Tai was suppressed by him again and had to resign and return home. Now he has died of illness. Because of the grudge between the two, Yuan Tai's protégé Chen Anzhi was naturally quite hostile to him.
, now that there are opportunities, how can we not take advantage of them?
After a while, the examiners wrote a bloody and tearful statement, which was transferred in by the Imperial College students. Chen Anzhi immediately took the complaint and went straight to the palace to plead for the people. The examiners and the imperial students crowded around and made noises.
Cheer on and go all the way.
Hanlin Academy is the place where imperial edicts, historical annals, literary and Han affairs, examination and discussion systems, detailed and correct documents are prepared, and the emperor's advisors are prepared. Hanlin bachelors, serving bachelors, serving lecturers, editors, editors, reviewers and other officials.
There are also common people who are qualified as Hanlin officials. They are all talented people from all over the world. It can be said that it is a place where literature and music gather.
This big turmoil in the capital quickly spread to all yamen, and Hanlin Court was no exception.
When they heard that the princes were accusing Xie Jin, most of the Hanlins were gloating over the misfortune. The reason was that Jiejin had a bad mouth, relied on his talent and learning, and was arrogant. The Hanlins were regarded as the most talented people, but he also looked down upon them.
He was not good enough, so whenever he had the opportunity, he would ridicule him. He usually recited poems, composed poems, and made love, but there were not only one Hanlin who had been humiliated and ridiculed by Jie Jin.
This scholar is different from the martial artist. The martial artist gets into a fight if they disagree with each other. The scholar is at a disadvantage, but he is polite to his face but harbors a grudge behind his back.
Damn, you are proud of your talents and have offended a lot of people without knowing it.
When he was proud, these people would only act sincerely. But now that he was unlucky, not only did these people laugh at him, but they were also willing to throw a brick at him and crush him at the bottom of the well.
The people in the Hanlin Court were just watching the excitement, while a group of pen writers in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, under the instructions of Chen Ying, had already written an impeachment memorial. The content of the impeachment was not limited to the unfair selection of officials.
They all picked them up. The literati killed without a knife and a bare pen, killing without blood. The memorials they wrote were really powerful.
The Cultural Office and the Disciplinary Inspection Office almost acted upon the news and launched the "anti-exclusion movement" in unison. When Huang Zhen saw that something was wrong, he excused himself to find an opportunity to leave the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and flew to report the news to Xia Xun.
Jinyiwei even has to check the price of vegetables in the market and whether there is enough food and rice, not to mention such important cultural and educational matters.
The news that tens of thousands of candidates were clamoring and complaining all over the city soon reached Ji Gang's ears. Because the scientific examination was over, Ji Gang was sitting with Eunuch Ye Duoge Ye to discuss the matter of drafting girls in Yingtian Mansion.
Jinchuan Jinqianhu, who was the youngest member of the Eight Great Vajras, hurriedly walked in and whispered to him.
Ji Gang laughed loudly after hearing this. Xie Jin once mocked him with the harsh words "Reeds on the wall are top-heavy and shallow-rooted; bamboo shoots in the mountains have sharp mouths, thick skin and hollow bellies." Ji Gang had many eyes and ears in the palace, how could An not know?
It's just that Xie Jin was not only the chief minister of the dynasty, but also a backbone of the prince faction. Ji Gang thought that he didn't have the power to overthrow him, so he kept it in his heart.
Now that Jie Jin has become a street rat, Ji Gang is very unhappy. He tells Jinchuan in a low voice: "Go! Watch his every move and don't let go of anything he says or does!" Jinchuan understood and immediately took the order and left.
Eunuch Ye was old, his eyesight was dazzled, and his ears were not working very well. He hurriedly asked: "Why is Mr. Ji laughing?"
Ji Gang said with a sweet smile: "Oh, just now Xiaojin reported the number of household registrations obtained from Yin of Yingtian Prefecture. Yingtian Prefecture now has more than 100,000 women of the right age. It is easy to select 800 beautiful girls from them. In this way, you must choose
The appearance of a beautiful girl that satisfies the emperor makes me happy and makes me laugh! Hahaha..."
