It is said that Li You held the flower test under the banner of fairness, and finally hung up the flower list outside the test hall. Looking around, he saw that the beauty was on top, and the beauty lowered her head, which caused thousands of people to curse on the spot.
.
Most of the people who came to see the rankings were scholars, and many of the children who were taking the exams in Fucheng also passed the exam first. Many of them participated as gunmen, and some were keen on pursuing beauties.
Seeing this unreasonable ranking, except for a few people, no one wants to scold me. Say it in one sentence, you can insult my personality, but don't insult my IQ!
When the post was flying all over the world, I thought it was just a joke. How could it be worth cheating if a beauty was just making fun of me? When the naked facts are in front of me, the deeper I get into it, the more I feel the shame of being teased, and the spirit of becoming famous with a poem.
The ideal is disillusioned.
What a world! Not even a game is fair! There is no fairness even in this illusion!
With the crowd agitated, the handyman who came out to hang the flower list saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly scurried into the examination courtyard with his head in his arms. Before leaving, he pointed to the end of the flower list and said: "There is a sentence conclusion at the end, please read carefully!"
Those who were close enough looked at it and recited loudly: "When the fake becomes the real, the real is also fake. There is nothing but nothing."
The couplets are difficult to understand at first glance, but they are very subtle when read. When they are read again, they sound like a monk trying to show off his wits, and they contain profound meaning.
It doesn't matter if it's difficult to understand. There are a lot of candidates here who can guess and solve the questions and there are plenty of them who can't do anything else.
Immediately, some masters of eight-part essays shook their heads and began to break the topic: "The true and false are tested by the hospital; the true and false are the tests; the true and the false are all disadvantages and no disadvantages. If you confuse the real with the fake, you will make the fake become the real, and you will use the fake to simulate the real. How can you know that the real and the fake are not true?"
Is it true or false? It’s because it’s all fake and it’s true! Try to find out the reason and see if there are any disadvantages..."
Some people sincerely sighed: "It's really a small talk that makes a big difference."
Someone who received Li Zheng's two taels of silver intervened at the right time: "Is this trying to warn us?"
The crowd gathered around the announcement, forming small groups and arguing endlessly.
Li Zheng, the best supporting actor in recent chapters, stepped forward and pulled off the flower list. He said with a sense of sadness and anger in the Li family style: "The list is full of ridiculous words, and there are a lot of bitter tears. I am crazy about rushing to take the exam, who can understand the meaning!"
This really spoke to my heart, and it immediately resonated with many old students who had failed the exam many times.
In the examination hall, Zhao Liangli heard the scolding outside gradually subsided. He turned around and said with a heartbroken voice: "Li You! You actually came up with such a heartless examination, how can I have the dignity to walk around in the brothel business in the future!"
"Is this worth being afraid of? Mr. Zhao San has money, who would be in trouble with the money?"
If official Zhao wanted to say something else, Li You said first: "Last time you used me to fool Qian Huangshang, this time it's even."
Hearing this, Zhao Liangli was speechless.
Li You bowed to the others again and said: "My little brother Meng Lang, please forgive me."
He Shenzhi said with a smile: "Although I don't know what happened, I accepted the gift from the seventh-grade master first."
The others didn't pay much attention to it, they just complained that they couldn't explain to their best friend, and asked Li You to offer wine to apologize, otherwise they wouldn't take Li You to play next year.
Having completed his mission here, Li You left and returned to the government office.
On April 24, the seventh year of Jinghe's reign, the day before this year's college examination, a quarrel among candidates suddenly broke out in Suzhou Prefecture. There was no warning in advance, and all parties were caught off guard.
At that time, hundreds of children gathered in groups to pay homage outside the gate of the provincial government office, and submitted a letter of complaint.
Although they are all white-bodied commoners, the combined power of several hundred people is quite impressive. Looking at this posture, the door official dared to ask for the door package and quickly sent the invitation card in.
Shi Shenzheng was sitting in the hall. He received the invitation and opened it to read, but the main idea was: The old man stooped to the hospital for the examination, which caused a commotion. Idiots have seen and heard many questions, and it is really difficult to live in peace. I boldly ask the old man to comply.
According to public opinion, he resigned from prison and calmed public opinion.
Seeing Master Shi, he was really angry from the heart, and the anger was rising in the chest. In a moment, the three flowers gathered together and the five qi were directed toward the yuan, and the two meridians of Ren and Du were almost opened.
In his opinion, those who can make the reading crowd uproar must be people with bad conduct and evil deeds, such as Li Tuiguan. He never expected that he would encounter such a situation today, how could he not feel angry.
I thought that he had been an official for many years, worked conscientiously, had an outstanding political voice, cherished his feathers, and had an excellent reputation. He had never had the stain of being forced into the palace by scholars! Although these people are not even scholars.
He didn't understand how a few baseless rumors could be so powerful that hundreds of people gathered to petition. Even if there were villains working together, there shouldn't be so many children writing letters.
These rumors have no sign of being confirmed at all, so why do they seem to have really happened? In other words, why do people prefer to believe the rumors rather than him?
The reason why they were able to get together...the flower test was a big contributor.
Who dares to attack without gathering together these days? Originally, all the children were just stragglers, but after a trial that touched people's hearts, they were quietly integrated. Although the level of organization is very rudimentary, almost non-existent, but
It's enough to gather a crowd to rebel, but it's not really a rebellion.
Not to mention that the flower test process insidiously stirs up group fanaticism and hostility... Li Tuiguan is not a master of psychology and behavior. He just learned it from a certain competition in his life that produced many incredible fans, and he learned it very well.
rough.
If you conduct a sample survey, you will find that nearly half of these hundreds of people are children from Xujiang County, a quarter are from rich families, and the rest are people who follow the crowd and make trouble.
The cause of the trouble in Xujiang County is simply that Mr. Shi is too likely to rectify Xujiang County, and no one can trust him. The reason why the children from the rich family are making trouble is because Mr. Shi has no money and salt, and they need to be replaced by someone who is a little more accommodating.
It happened to be this opportunity; other people may have heard the rumors about reducing the number of students in Suzhou Prefecture, or simply started to make noises when they saw the crowd, and it was not a fuss. Anyway, the tradition of the country and the dynasty is that the law does not punish the crowd.
Shi Canzheng closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down. He would not resign from the position of Supervisor, otherwise, after succumbing, what would be the prestige of being a third-grade defender? But at the same time, he had to resolve the matter perfectly.
Don't leave any trouble behind.
After thinking carefully, he shouted: "There are people coming from the left and right! I am going out!"
Master Gao hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him and said, "Don't do it, Mr. Dong! These people have no fame and honor. How can we treat Dong Weng lightly? Moreover, the crowd outside the Yamen is fierce and it is easy to cause chaos. Only their leaders are allowed to go to the Yamen to present matters."
.”
"In my opinion, no one will dare to come in."
Mr. Gao added: "I have sent someone to the government office to ask the prefect to calm the matter down. I will just wait and see."
"This is treating the symptoms rather than the root cause." Shi Shenzheng said: "They are also half-students. Since they have doubts and they are officials, teachers and leaders, they go to clear up the doubts. Besides, I stand upright, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Be honest with each other and any doubts will disappear."
Mr. Gao couldn't help but lamented in his heart, the proprietor really doesn't believe in evil. At this time, he still wants to show off his reputation as Corporal Li Xian? You haven't woken up from the last time you were beaten at the pier?
At that moment, a guard of honor was put on display, and Shi Canzheng, protected by dozens of followers, walked out of the gate of the provincial government office. As expected, he saw a crowd of people in the street outside, including people in commoners and plain clothes, and people in silk and brocade clothes.
Shi Shenzheng stood under the gate and said loudly: "You don't have to be frightened to see me on your knees. I know that you have suspicions, so I will tell you personally. Rumors have been rampant recently and cannot be believed. I swear here that I will
When you come to the hospital for the examination, you must uphold the integrity of heaven and earth and never do anything selfish, otherwise you will be a disciple of the saint in vain! All lives can be at ease!"
Mr. Shi has a solemn look on his face, and his words are as solid as gold. If measured with a 21st century lie detector, his honesty rate would be as high as 99%! Even better than real gold!
However, something seemed to be missing. Hundreds of people were silent at this moment. Master Gao next to him suddenly felt that he was missing someone to raise his arms and bow before bowing. This was also known as a shill in the proverb. Helpless, he stood up and said to the crowd.
: "Don't waste your time here, go back quickly to review the scriptures, and have a good rest early to prepare for the entrance tomorrow."
Someone actually stood up and paid homage: "I understand what Mr. Lao said. I wonder if Mr. Lao will resign as a prison officer?"
"I have no fault as an official, so why should I resign?" Shi Shenzheng replied.
As soon as Mr. Shi said these words, he heard a sentence coming from the crowd: "Ignore the public opinion and refuse to give up, but there is still something wrong in my heart... What's the use of making an oath in vain! I and other common people can't care about it."
Shi Shenzheng used his first paragraph of good words and talked to Bai Ding, who was not a scholar, for a long time, but was ridiculed by the unruly people. At this moment, he finally couldn't help it anymore and said sternly: "Who is deceiving the public with such monstrous words?"
?”
The already peaceful crowd suddenly started to stir, and another policeman was heard shouting: "The government soldiers are here to arrest someone!"
They all looked back, and sure enough they saw a group of government officials and garrison soldiers coming towards here with great fanfare. Shen Tongzhi took the lead and took the lead, with a murderous expression on his face.
It turned out that Master Gao sent people to the government office to report the news and asked the local officials to calm down the matter, but they were met with a cold reception.
First of all, no matter how good-tempered the prefect Wang is, he is still a dignified person. He was ruined by Shi Shenzheng (although it seems that he was hurt by Li's promotion of the official position). On the surface, he didn't say anything, but in his heart, he didn't have a grudge. This kind of thing is unfortunate.
It's nice just to watch the fun, but who is willing to help?
Xia Tongpan, who is in charge of public security, is also unwilling to go. I don’t know why.
As for Li Tuiguan, who was in charge of the punishment, Wang Zhifu did not dare to let him go. With his style, he was afraid that if he went, he would add fuel to the fire and burn the camp out of control.
So Shen Tongzhi actively came forward. He believed that he was a member of Shi's political party. If he didn't show up now, how could he wait?
Mr. Shen took a dozen yamen officers and dozens of soldiers from the garrison department, and went to the branch guard yamen. Because he was eager to make contributions, his expression was a little anxious, which was intimidating. Of course, Shen Tongzhi was not stupid and knew how to solve this problem.
The main purpose must be to appease, and asking the crowd to disperse slowly is the best result.
Shen Tongzhi walked to the back of the crowd and wanted to say a few words. However, he saw a fierce-looking yamen servant beside him, who did not follow the rules of the world at all. He rushed to the front without authorization, drew his sword and waved it, shouting: "Bold and unruly people dare to make noise in the yamen.
! Mr. Shen is here, why don’t you kneel down and surrender! Otherwise, don’t blame the sword and the gun for having no eyesight, and risk your life!”
Where did this idiot come from? Mr. Shen was stunned and speechless. He couldn't open his mouth and closed his mouth. He immediately realized that this damn man must be Li Tuiguan...
The crowd suddenly exploded... There were ten or twenty people in front, and dozens of soldiers and government officials behind them... Anyone with a normal IQ knew where to escape, and the crowd immediately rushed towards Shi Shenzheng's honor guard.
Master Shi's entourage dared not stop the crowd, so they quickly threw away the cumbersome ceremonial guards and retreated to the Yamen while protecting Shi Shenzheng.
Fortunately, the crowd just wanted to break away from the honor guard and escape, and had no interest in attacking Mr. Shi, so Mr. Shi returned to the Yamen unharmed, but his eyes were wide open and his face was pale.
I can only lament that the canopy, official badges and other things were only built a month ago, and they were trampled to pieces by the rioting crowd. In less than two months after taking office, the entire set of ceremonial guards was lost twice. This is simply as good as Suzhou Prefecture.
It's a joke to have an unofficial legend. How can it be embarrassing for Mr. Shi, who is determined to leave a name in history?
Master Gao looked up to the sky and sighed, "If the people of Suzhou Prefecture are like this, the proprietor's temperament is not suitable for being an official in Suzhou Prefecture. I really regret it!"
This is the truth. Most of the places where Shi Shenzheng worked in the past had simple folk customs and orderly management. There was no colorful world like Suzhou Prefecture where industry and commerce were highly prosperous and the people's humanity was colorful and diverse, so he was a little acclimatized.
