Zhu Kezang raised his eyebrows and finally jumped out. It seemed that he could remove another Jinshi quota and expel a group of officials.

"What's the grievance?"

Zhu Kezang smiled, the literati of Ming Dynasty were still as brave as before.

"My younger brother Peng Yuankui from Putian County, Xinghua Prefecture, is very knowledgeable and talented. However, his legs were broken for no reason two years ago. Now he has no choice but to give up on himself, while the thugs who broke his legs are still at large!"

Peng Yuankui, the newly promoted Jinshi, burst into tears.

The Peng family is a well-known family in Putian.

There are three or four branches of the Peng family in Putian, one of which is the Peng family in Gangnei in the southeast corner of the city. This is the first family of the family. In the Southern Song Dynasty, in the seventh year of Song Chunyou (1247), it was named "the first" by a special memorial Peng Yifu, who was awarded the title of Jinshi, came from this family.

One branch is the Peng family of Hankou. In the first year of Mingshun (1457), he was promoted to Jinshi. Peng Shao was the right deputy to the censor of the capital, the right minister of the Ministry of punishment, and the minister of the Ministry of punishment. He was presented to Prince Shaobao. It was the pinnacle of the Peng family in Puyang.

The other branch is the Peng family in Xiaohengtang, Putian.

Although this Peng family became famous relatively late, this family became famous in Puyang for its imperial examinations and became the most famous Peng family in Puyang for humanities.

It was Peng Kui who knocked on the door of Kejia for the Peng family in Xiaohengtang.

Peng Kui, courtesy name Chaoyong, was elected in the Fujian Provincial Examination in the sixth year of Tianshun (1462) and entered the Imperial College. In September of the eighth year of Chenghua (1472), he was awarded the title of Zhongshu Sheren, promoted to be a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, Langzhong, and moved to Zhizhou of Yongning Prefecture.

Starting from Peng Kui, the Peng family in Xiaohengtang was out of control, and many future generations of Jinshi served in the Ming Dynasty.

And Peng Yuankui was born in the Peng family of Xiaohengtang.

Zhu Kezang asked: "Oh, who is so cruel?"

Peng Yuankui pointed to Pan Boheng who was not in a hurry, "It's Pan Boheng who is the number one scholar."

"No. 1 Scholar, do you have anything to say?" Zhu Kezang handed the stage to Pan Boheng.

Pan Boheng walked to the center of the hall and said, "Your Majesty, gentlemen, please allow me to tell you a story."

[In Putian County, Xinghua Prefecture, Fujian, I have a classmate named Fang Congyun. Their family is the poorest in the village.

He was adopted because there were no males left in their family. The only male, Fang Congyun's nominal father, had drowned. There were only two old people and a widow left in their family, so they adopted him. Fang Congyun hopes to continue the incense.

The year after she brought Fang Congyun home, the widow ran away, which meant that Fang Congyun lost her parents within three months, even if they were not her biological children.

His grandparents raised him to the age of five. Our two families were not far apart. I often played with him. Every time we played together for less than two-quarters of an hour, he would run home.

I was very curious, so I followed him to his house.

When I arrived at his house, I saw a five-year-old child feeding pigs, cooking, and fetching water from the well. The cooking stove was higher than others. After the meal was cooked, it had to be delivered two or three miles away. There were two old men working in the fields outside, and it was dark every time they delivered meals.

It is said that children of poor people become rich early, and he is much more mature than all our peers.

Later, when he reached the age of reading and literacy, he would carry a rag bag, the kind of school bag sewn from rags.

His shoes were picked up on the roadside, and none of the clothes on his body were intact.

They were all gifts from the villagers, or his grandfather cut adults' clothes into children's sizes and barely wore them.

He studies very hard and is very diligent, the kind that no one can imagine.

One time I went to play with him, and he was lying on the tree stump in front of his house doing his homework. In the summer, there were a lot of mosquitoes.

I asked him why he didn't write in the room. He said the room was too dark and he didn't want to light a fire. He was only six years old at that time.

During the years when I was a classmate with him, he never fell out of the top three in any exam he took.

But even a child who works so hard will be bullied. Many people say that he is an orphan and a bastard that no one wants.

Thanks to His Majesty's policies, he and I both went to the county town to attend primary school.

I remember that when he was in third grade, there was an arithmetic competition in the county. The teacher asked him to prepare a better set of clothes a month in advance to represent the school.

That month, he went to help pull weeds and wash dishes in restaurants as soon as school was over.

On the last day, he asked me to go to the market with him to buy clothes.

I said why go to the county fair to buy clothes? There are no children's clothes there, so you have to go to the city to buy them.

Fang Congyun asked me how much it would cost to go to Fucheng, and I said it would be a hundred coins anyway.

He smiled awkwardly and said he only had thirty coins.

Later, my grandfather called me to go home, so he went to the market by himself.

I found out the next day that he didn't make it.

He was blocked by some thugs on the road, his money was taken away, and he was beaten.

On the day of the competition, the teacher asked him why he came without new clothes.

I looked at him with red eyes and said that since he had no money, he would not go and embarrass the school.

He was nine years old that year, an age when I only knew how to play crazy.

The teacher knew about his family's situation and that he washed dishes every day during that month to exchange money, so he asked him directly who had taken the money, but he just shook his head and said nothing.

Later, the teacher bought him a set of clothes, which he picked out himself. A set of clothes cost more than fifty cents. It was the first set of clothes that truly belonged to him in his life.

It was a football uniform, rough in workmanship, and indeed Fang Congyun’s treasure.

In the end, he lived up to his teacher's expectations and won the first prize in the arithmetic competition.

When the teacher handed the certificate and prize to Fang Congyun, he bowed deeply to the teacher.

However, after the school break that day, he was blocked on his way home by gangsters who robbed him of his belongings.

The reason is that he is not worthy to represent them in the competition.

Later, he went to a private school with excellent results.

Maybe you thought everything in his life was starting to get better?

not at all.

The children in Xinghua Prefecture are all thirteen or fourteen years old, when they are the most ignorant and rebellious.

People like Fang Congyun who are good for nothing except reading are the easiest to be targeted.

Those gangsters with backgrounds sought pleasure by bullying him.

For example, tearing up his homework, putting bugs and snakes into his desk, and stealing his lunch box.

But even so, he never complained to anyone and remained optimistic.

I asked him if he wasn't angry or aggrieved?

He just said that there are some things that there is no need to pursue, and there are some things that others have a lot of trouble with, but he does not, and he cannot pursue them.

I know that he is afraid that if things get too big, he will be kicked out of school.

Because those gangsters all have a big background, and they are all famous people in Xinghua Prefecture.

Fang Congyun himself was not liked by the professors of the government school because he did not give gifts to the professors.

This is how it is in Xinghua Prefecture. Talented scholars may not necessarily be liked.

If I encounter these things, I will definitely fight back. I won't think about it so much because I have a big brother in the Guards!

Later, I don’t know when it started, but rumors began to spread among his classmates that he had no parents, that his family was very poor, and that he even went to school as a special recruit from a government school.

Apparently someone was targeting him.

He ignored this and concentrated on studying, always ranking first, and that kind of voice naturally disappeared.

But I was still bullied.]

At this point in the story, Pan Boheng's eyes were already slightly red. He paused and took a breath.
