Laifu grinned and said, "Master Zeng, someone is looking for you again, and this time it's not a Taoist priest." Zeng Yu's sight was blocked by the boat canopy, and he couldn't see the person asking questions on the willow embankment, so he asked the boatman to wait for a while and face the stern of the boat. Walking away, I thought: "This voice sounds familiar. It seems to be Yan Shaoqing's personal follower Yan Jian." I only heard the person on the willow embankment ask again: "Is Mr. Zeng Jiuli on this boat?" This is another one. The voice sounded familiar to Zeng Yu, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment. When he walked to the stern of the boat and took a closer look, he saw two people on the willow embankment. The one on the left was Yan Shaoqing's confidant Yan Jian, and the other was Huang. Huang Lubao, the family member of Tixue. Zeng Yu quickly asked the boatman to punt the boat to the shore. Yan Jian jumped off the willow embankment and approached: "Mr. Zeng, this man claims to be a scholar of the Yamen. He has something urgent to do with Mr. Zeng, so my son ordered me to bring him here." Zeng Yu He said: "There is work to be done." He thought to himself: "Huang Lubao came to see me on Huang Tixue's order, but I don't know what's urgent?" Walking up the Liudi, Zeng Yu raised his hands to Huang Lubao and said, "Manager Huang, what's the matter? "Instructions?" The autumn sun was shining brightly, and the lake was bright. Huang Lubao's face was a little gloomy, and he smiled reluctantly. He crossed his hands and said: "My master has something important to see Mr. Zeng. Mr. Zeng, please come with me now. My master will definitely be waiting for you." "I'm anxious." Zeng Yu asked, "What's the emergency?" Huang Lubao said, "How can I, a servant, tell you clearly? Mr. Zeng will know it clearly when he sees me." He seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Zeng Yu. Huang Lubao and Zeng Yu had a quarrel because of the Yuanzhou Prefectural Road Examination fraud case last year. However, Zeng Yu also knew that Huang Lubao had resentment towards him, so it was not malicious. After all, Huang Tixue valued him very much, so he said: "Okay, I Let's go now." He said to Zheng Shi and Wu Chunze on the boat, and took the book boy Sixi to follow Huang Lubao to Dongxueyuan Street. Yan Jian followed for a while and went to the square in front of the White Horse Temple to say goodbye to Zeng Yu: "Mr. Zeng, that little man has gone back first. My eldest son asked Mr. Zeng to come back to Youzhuju to visit him when he has time." Yan Jian went to Gaosheng. Zeng Yu went to the alley and looked towards the White Horse Temple. He didn't know if the white-robed guest was still in the temple. He must have left long ago. The words of the white-robed guest that day became a knot in his heart. Hidden worries - Huang Lubao was taciturn all the way, and now he urged: "Master Zeng, please leave quickly, my master is waiting impatiently." Although Zeng Yu wanted to know what Huang Tixue wanted to do with him, but since Huang Lubao kept secrets, he also I won't ask any more questions, and everything will be clear when I meet Huang Tixue. The two masters and servants followed Huang Lubao into the Xuezheng Yamen. Huang Tixue was holding talks with several professors and eunuchs in southern Jiangxi. He asked Zeng Yu to wait in the small hall of the mansion for a while. About two quarters later, Zeng Yu saw him. When they arrived at Huang Tixue, Huang Tixue had a thin face and a depressed expression, and he said: "Zeng Sheng, according to the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the deputy examiner of the Jiangxi Dao Jinke Provincial Examination will no longer be the deputy examiner." Zeng Yu was surprised: "Teacher, this "What's the reason?" Huang Tixue said with a wry smile: "The Ministry of Rites is considerate of the old age, frailty, and difficulty in handling the heavy official duties of grading, so it chooses someone else to take charge." This is obviously a formality. There must be another reason, otherwise it would not be violated. It is a common practice not to allow the deputy examiner of a province to be the deputy examiner of the provincial examination. Zeng Yu asked cautiously: "Teacher, is this matter related to the Yuanzhou fraud case last year?" Huang Tixue sighed and said: "This matter was investigated by the Procuratorate last year. I also filed a detailed complaint with Yousi. I thought It's okay, but he was caught out by the Kedao official unexpectedly, so he can only avoid suspicion in the current Kexiang examination." Zeng Yu frowned slightly. If it was just because he did not serve as the deputy chief examiner, Huang Tixue would not specially call him. Huang Tixue's decision to allow him to enter the school was also on the list of impeachments by the department officials, so he asked: "Teacher, has the student's student qualifications been questioned?" Huang Tixue looked at Zeng Yu squarely, stared at it for a moment, nodded and said: "The Nanjing Science and Technology Officer requested that the Chasi Wang Fenshou conduct a thorough investigation into last year's Jiangxi Province Entrance Examination fraud case, and your name was also mentioned¡ª¡ª" Zeng Yu's heart trembled, and all kinds of clues came to him: The white-robed guest in the Baima Temple the day before yesterday said something like A threatening look suddenly flashed in my mind. Now it seems that Bai Paoke's words were not false. There were indeed severe measures to deal with him. However, as a young scholar, he had no grudges against them in the past and has no grudges in recent times. It was necessary. Are you going to such a big fight to deal with him? ¡ª¡ªThis is of course because he has some relationship with the Fenyi Yan family. Also, the 800 taels of silver that Hu Zongxian rewarded him with for his military exploits must also be targeted by the anti-Yan party, because Hu Zongxian is regarded as a member of the Yan Song party. Yes, the anti-Yan forces searched for evidence of Party Yan¡¯s crimes meticulously, not deliberately to attack him, but to attack Hu Zongxian and Yan Song and his son by attacking him; - Also, after the death of Tao Zhongwenxian, who had a close relationship with Yan Song, Xu Lan Daoxing, a Taoist priest recommended by the emperor, was favored by Tao Zhongwen and Shao Yuan.? They are all considered to be part of the Longhushan Zheng faction, and Zeng Jiuli is now the son-in-law of the Zhang family in Longhushan. Hitting him hard Zeng Jiuli can contain the Fenyi Yan family and Tianshi Dao. This is a plan to kill three birds with one stone and kill three birds with one stone. ah! "Zeng Sheng¡ª¡ª" Seeing that Zeng Yu was silent and looking depressed, Huang Tixue comforted him and said, "Don't be anxious. You, our teachers and students have the utmost respect. I promoted you out of the ordinary because of you." He is eager to learn and make progress, as evidenced by articles, and there is no shortage of precedents for a province¡¯s academic administration to select talents for the country, so why worry about others¡¯ criticism!¡± At this point, Huang Tixue was a little out of breath, took a few sips from the tea cup, and said: "Yesterday I went to the Procuratorate to intercede with Wang Fenshou on your behalf. Wang Fenshou read several of your eight-part essays and appreciated your literary talent. But Wang Fenshou said that in order to dispel the doubts of the science and education officials in Nanjing, , together with the provincial censor and two recommendation officials, I wanted to hold an assessment for you alone at the school. At that time, I firmly opposed it. As a provincial academic administrator, I have the right to decide the candidates for admission. Your make-up exam papers have all been reviewed. , fully qualified, how can you add another assessment like a child's play for no reason? This is an insult to the country's famous weapon. I, Huang Guoqing, don't need to wear the official hat. I must protect your reputation as a student! " Huang Tixue's tone became more and more serious! Excited, when he said the last sentence, his pale old face turned sickly red. He strictly refused to comply with the inspection of Zeng Yu. In addition to caring for Zeng Yu, he also wanted to protect the dignity of the academic officer. Officials are Fengxian officials, and those who have both good conduct and articles cannot hold the position. The three chiefs of a province, such as the chief envoy, the inspector general, and the commander-in-chief, are also very respectful to the academic officials. Zeng Yu is Huang Ti Huang Tixue felt humiliated because the Procuratorate had to re-examine Zeng Yu, who had passed the make-up examination. In Huang Tixue¡¯s view, the Procuratorate could reexamine Yuan Zhou¡¯s fraud case, but it could not ask Zeng Yu to be reassessed because It is the authority of academic officials to assess students - Zeng Yu's mood was extremely complicated, he was both apologetic and angry. Huang Tixue had a clear reputation and stayed away from the capital to serve as a local academic official. He had nothing to do with the dispute between Yan Song and Xu Jie. Who else in the Ming Dynasty An official can guarantee that all his subordinates will be fair and abide by the law. If a subordinate violates the law and investigates it without any favoritism, then he is a good and competent official. The fraud case in the Yuanzhou Taoist Examination has long been investigated, and the mastermind Ling Fengqu and the cheating candidates have been He was punished, and the importance of the Taoist examination was far less than that of the rural examination and the joint examination, and the accountability was also light. However, those censors and officials who were responsible for guarding the officials took advantage of this incident when the provincial examination was about to take place. Coming to attack Huang Tixue was definitely out of selfish motives of party struggle. In order to attack him, Zeng Jiuli, the dignified fourth-rank deputy Tixue, was implicated by such a young scholar. This is really strange! If it hadn't been for the appearance of Bai Paoke, Zeng Yu might not have figured out this three-birds-with-one-stone plan. Now he knew very well that a sinister net was closing in on him. Huang Tixue might not have thought of this. He just wanted to protect Zeng Yu did not defend his dignity as a Tixue official, but Zeng Yu knew that the people who cast the net against him would never give up. Since Huang Tixue opposed the assessment of his student qualifications, the people who cast the net were likely to simply use The reason why he entered school was to accuse him of fraud. In this way, it was justifiable for the Procuratorate to intervene, but it didn't look good at that time - Zeng Yu said: "Thank you for the teacher's care, but students are not afraid of assessment. In order to let those people After seeing clearly the student's innocence, the student is willing to submit an application for review and investigation to the Procuratorate in his own name, otherwise, those people will take the opportunity to cause trouble. " Huang Tixue said nothing. Although he did not think as thoroughly as Zeng Yu, But he also knew that Zeng Yuxiang's setback before the examination should be related to Fenyi Yan's getting too close. He sighed and said: "Zeng Sheng, you should treat this setback as 'a great responsibility is about to be handed down from heaven'." Just keep working hard, don't worry, I will fight for you to the end." Zeng Yu was writing "Shangwang Fenshou Shu" in the academy. It was written in two thousand words in an hour. After Huang Tixue read it, he praised: "The tone of the words is neither humble nor arrogant, and the reasoning is eloquent and thorough. This "Shang Wang Fen Shou Shu" alone is enough to shut up those who have ulterior motives." After another conversation, Huang Tixue asked Zeng Yu to go back first, and this "Shang Wang Fen Shou Shu" "Wang Fenshou Shu" was submitted to Wang Zongmu, the inspector, on his behalf, and he also told Zeng Yu to come tomorrow afternoon to hear the news. After leaving the school office, it was almost noon, and the sun was shining brightly. Zeng Yu walked to the East Lake with his head sullenly, thinking: "It seems that Bai Pao Ke had good intentions when he made an appointment with me the day before yesterday. He really wanted to give me a hand." , This is of course conditional, that is, working as an undercover agent to help bring down Yan Song and his son. " Thinking of this, Zeng Yu's face showed a sarcastic look, and he thought: "Mr. Fenyi Yan treated me very politely. It's so despicable to be an undercover agent. Did I, Zeng Jiuli, do what he did? Yan Song and his son did not end well, but did they end well if they took refuge with Xu Jie? Gong, Gao Gong is followed by Zhang Juzheng. It is rare for these powerful figures to die well" Shutong Sixi followed closely. He could see that the young master was in a bad mood, but he didn't know what happened.??, I didn¡¯t dare to ask for a while. The master and servant returned to the Chunfenglou Inn. Zheng Shi and the others had already disembarked and returned to the inn. They were preparing to have lunch. Zeng Yu sat down and drank half a bowl of wine first, then took a long breath and then dismissed Huang Tixue. The deputy chief examiner of the Kexiang Examination told Zeng Jiuli that he was going to take the student qualification test again. Everyone looked at each other in shock. After a long while, Zheng Shi said: "Jiuli, we all admire your talent and learning. As long as it is a fair assessment, you have nothing to fear." Wu Chunze and others echoed incessantly, talking to comfort Zeng Yu. "Thank you all for your comfort. I won't be depressed." Zeng Yu smiled and bowed to express his gratitude, and then laughed at himself: "There is no way, re-examination candidates are so discriminated against." ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Thank you to book friend Tianya Yuanyuan for becoming the sixth leader of "Qing Ke" and for encouraging Xiaodao during the most difficult period that Xiaodao has encountered in the past ten years. .
