Chapter 642: How can we, true Confucian disciples, succumb to power?

The scholars appeared to be filled with righteous indignation, but in fact they had other ideas.

Those who were successful in the examination had no time to do anything, celebrate or prepare for the examination.

It's just because these failed students are depressed that they are so eager to find an outlet to vent their anger.

Obviously, Pan Boheng provided them with such an opportunity. Although the time was a little late, the effect would not be greatly reduced, because most human beings have the attribute of rehashing old scores.

In addition, Pan Boheng's eldest brother is General Pan Aqiang, which easily reminds people of issues such as officials protecting each other and official corruption.

The matter got louder and louder, but the court remained unmoved and never responded directly.

The literati were somewhat helpless about this. Unless someone was really willing to go to the palace to complain, they really had no choice.

But in fact, all the scholars are thinking about joining the court and becoming officials in the future. Who is willing to be the first bird at the moment, and get such a stain for nothing, and be recorded in the emperor's notebook!

If the law is not punished, the crowd will cheer and cheer, and it will only add insult to injury. No one is willing to do it with real swords and guns, unless there is a stake in it.

Ying Tianfu Yin Shao Tingcai is not afraid of this kind of scene. After all, the last public opinion storm in commercial newspapers is still fresh in his mind. This kind of scene is a small scene.

These commercial newspapers are now very sophisticated. The "Huang Ming Daily" didn't even report on this matter, nor did it make a conclusion on the matter. How could they dare to write randomly!

The consequence of scribbling is to be banned according to law.

Unless some are stubborn or motivated by profit, this is only a minority among the minority.

Shao Tingcai personally went to Zhu Kezang to ask for instructions the day before yesterday. Zhu Kezang said six words: "Let the bullets fly for a while!"

This made monk Shao Tingcai Zhanger confused.

Zhu Kezang also saw his doubts: "Don't worry, we'll close the net when it's almost done."

With Zhu Kezang's words, Mr. Fu Yin was very calm.

However, the matter is far from being as simple as it appears on the surface. In fact, Shao Tingcai is secretly investigating who among the scholars who caused trouble this time is the one who instigated everyone's emotions.

After several days of secret visits, the matter finally got some clues, and he found out several suspicious candidates who had been active among the scholars throughout the whole incident.

The imperial court's indulgence made the troublemaking scholars and those behind them even more rampant.

The demonstrators were still making noises, and the several government officials guarding the streets were also on full alert.

According to the rule, once they find signs of something bad happening to them, they will immediately sound the alarm, and the brothers on duty inside will come out to help, and they must not let these scholars cause trouble.

Suddenly, there was a banging sound in the Yingtian Yamen, and immediately two teams of fully armed officers rushed out of the door and quickly lined up towards both ends of the door, with a very intimidating momentum.

Several figures in the crowd were immediately alert and wanted to run away as soon as they were short. Unexpectedly, Yin Shao Tingcai of Yingtian Mansion who walked out of the Yamen followed him and arrived before he could say anything. Only two short and powerful words came out of his mouth.

"Take it!"

A group of well-prepared government officials agreed in unison, and then swarmed forward like wolves and tigers. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a large encirclement, and gradually moved closer inward, making it impossible for the troubled scholars to escape.

If you were a scholar from the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, you would probably be intimidated in an instant.

Although they failed the exam, they still learned from His Majesty Zhu Kezang’s true Confucianism.

"How can we, true Confucian disciples, succumb to power? Justice and justice are in the heart of the people!"

After all, I got too involved in the drama, and some scholars actually picked up the guy and prepared to fight with the government officials.

But with a few shouts and pulls, the government officials quickly took control of the situation.

They picked out several leading criminals from the crowd and escorted them to Lord Fu Yin.

Shao Tingcai looked at the few scholars in front of him with great interest, and said without any nonsense, he waved his hand and said: "Deliberately inciting the candidates to cause trouble, I will give you fifty whippings first, as a warning to others!"

Then, he took two steps forward with dignity and glanced at the people outside the door.

Upon seeing this, all the true Confucian scholars bowed their heads and retreated, not daring to meet his eyes. The whole place was silent, without the previous arrogance.

They were indeed shocked by the Yingtian Prefecture Yin. The silent response for several days suddenly erupted at this moment, and the official power of the Imperial Capital Prefecture Yin was fully demonstrated.

The two sides faced off on the first day of the new year, and the outcome was already decided. Shao Tingcai, who was upright and solemn, nodded slightly, obviously very satisfied with this.

"I know that you are eager to gain fame, but you must not be deceived by those who are interested in it and go astray! Gentlemen do not compare themselves with each other, and villains do not compare themselves with each other. I hope that you can all devote yourself to true Confucianism.

, don’t join forces with the heretical people, this is how you can live up to the ten years of hardship!”

"We, the scholars, only seek four things in our lives: we only seek to establish our minds for the world and the world, to establish our destiny for the people, to carry on the unique knowledge of the saints, and to create peace for all generations."

"It is our destiny as scholars to take the world as our own responsibility. I usually don't like to say nice things, but what you have done today is worthy of the saint's teachings?"

"I also hope that you gentlemen will study hard and live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

After quoting scriptures and giving long and earnest warnings, everyone below had lost all morale and was no longer full of righteous indignation as before.

They were not stupid either. After Shao Tingcai's advice, they seemed to have suddenly realized something in their hearts. They realized that their mentality had been out of balance in the past few days, and they were too easily incited and exploited by others, which was why they behaved like this today.

Fortunately, Shao Tingcai did not drag them one by one to the Yamen to register their names. If he did, their future career in the imperial examination would be ruined!

Among the crowd of scholars, I don't know who started to rise first, and then there was a burst of loud shouts.

"We will live up to Master Shao's teachings and devote ourselves to learning in order to repay our family, country and society!"

"We will definitely live up to Master Shao's teachings and devote ourselves to learning in order to repay our family, country and society!"

After everyone chanted slogans and bowed, Shao Tingcai waved lightly.

"Okay, okay, since you are determined to repent, and I don't want to inflict any more punishment, I will just arrest the offender today and let them go."

"Thank you, Mr. Shao!"

The crowd once again roared and prostrated themselves in large numbers. They looked respectful and respectful, which was a bit more pious than ordinary people when they prayed to gods and worshiped Buddha during the New Year.

What no one noticed was the slight smile on Shao Tingcai's lips on the steps.

Shao Tingcai felt that these true Confucian scholars were easy to fool after all!

No wonder I was deceived before.

The matter seemed to have finally been resolved satisfactorily. However, Master Shao failed to notice out of the corner of his eye that a boy next to him would turn around and stare at Shao Tingcai fiercely from time to time, and then gradually follow the crowd away.

Those arrested scholars were not tough guys, and they long ago confessed that they had collected some silver coins from Fujian people to do these things.

But they don't know the identities of those people.

Shao Tingcai roughly guessed which family was responsible for today's good deeds.
