The Jiayuan Student Movement was the biggest issue in the court in the past decade. The movement led by Pei Yuanhou aimed to weaken the imperial power and encourage the people to discuss politics. The change in the political system is often accompanied by the greatest obstacle and counterattack of vested interests. The reformists and the ruling factions held fierce debates in various fields of rule, but it was only limited to debate. After all, in the years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the rivers and dances were clear and the singing and dancing were peaceful. It seemed that all reforms were not necessary, but the equal rights and civil affairs thoughts dominated by the student movement have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with these thousands of debates.

Finally, at the end of the summer of the 25th year of Hong Xiu, the energy accumulated by this student movement broke out without warning because of a special event, and the starting point of all this was just an inconspicuous little person.

Liang Dongyuan is 22 years old this year. He is from Liangcheng, Northwest. He was born in an ordinary merchant family. He studied in the government school office in the city since he was a child. He had neither talent for cultivation nor knew any dignitaries. He just passed the provincial examination with ten years of hard study and obtained the opportunity to enter Beijing for the imperial examination.

For the scientific expedition once a year on the Great Week, at least thousands of people go to Beijing every year. Whether Liang Dongyuan passed the imperial examination or not is really a big deal, but for the Liang family, who have been doing business for generations, it is a great news.

Before entering Beijing, Liang's mother stayed up all night and prepared her luggage and money for her. She also hired a carriage from the city car dealer. The one who drove the car was an old man who had been in Kyoto for many years. After everything was ready, she gave her a lot of advice and then sent her son to the road.

Along the way, Liang Dongyuan did not dare to slacken at all, and reviewed books day and night. He was both confident and worried about this scientific test.

What people in Northwest are most afraid of is hardship. During the years of studying, Liang Dongyuan has been diligent and hardworking, and it is normal to dance when he hears a chicken. He has tried hanging his beam and stabbing his thighs, so he is full of confidence.

What is uneasy is that scholars in the north have been less elegant than those in the south since ancient times. If they finally enter the palace examination, their image will never be outstanding.

With various complex moods, Liang Dongyuan finally came to Beijing and stayed in an inn in the suburbs of Beijing. There was a restaurant opposite the inn, named "No need to return". "No need to return in the slanting wind and drizzle", which is a good omen.

The boss lady who doesn't need to return is surnamed Tao. She is 28 or 29 years old. Because there are two peach trees at the entrance of the hotel, it is extremely brilliant every time in spring, so everyone calls her Peach Blossom Girl.

Peach Blossom Girl likes to chat with customers when she has nothing to do on weekdays. Because she looks pretty and charming and speaks well, the guests are happy to talk to her. After a while, they met many celebrities in Kyoto.

Liang Dongyuan also had a very good impression of Taohua Niang. In just a few casual conversations, he admired his talent and appearance. He couldn't help but sigh that he was the best place in the world. After all, he was the owner of a wine shop in the suburbs of the city, and he was so outstanding.

The day before the scientific examination, there is no need to buy the first prize red that has been stored for three years. Liang Dongyuan bought a jar and placed it under the inn bed, preparing to drink it again on the day of the release of the results. At that time, whether it is a successful celebration or a frustration or a drunken meal, it can come in handy.

The exam process was extremely smooth. All the exam questions were prepared in advance by Liang Dongyuan, especially the last question, the current affairs of agricultural development on the division of land and acres, which was Liang Dongyuan's specialty. So he wrote thousands of words in writing and left when the exam time was half an hour before the end.

After that, when he didn't have to wait for the results to be released, Liang Dongyuan felt quite relaxed. He drank and chatted with students from all over the world who went to Beijing for the exam every day, criticizing current problems, and imagining how to promote reforms as officials in the future and benefit the people.

However, reality is always cruel. The list was released. Liang Dongyuan looked for it three times from beginning to end, but he didn't see his name. He was quite depressed. After returning to the inn, he took out the bed to hide the wine and drank it all, and fell asleep until the morning of the next day.

Maybe it was because of the wind and sand outside the border for many years. People in the northwest are always more determined. When they woke up from a hangover overnight, Liang Dongyuan had already calmed down and did not feel too sad. If they failed this year, they would still have a chance to come back three years later.

After packing up, Liang Dongyuan left the guest room and came to say goodbye to Taohua Niang without having to return.

After arriving at the restaurant, Taohuaniang had not yet arrived at the store, so Liang Dongyuan was waiting at the counter of the lobby. The building was full of discussions about the names in the title list yesterday. As the person who failed the exam, these words were heard in his ears and mixed feelings in his heart.

Just when he was not ready to leave for a long time, a Kyoto scholar at the table next to him took a scroll of paper and began to read a Liwen aloud. After reading it, he praised: "Mr. Qi is really a family-leading source. Seeing the vocation of the equal land of the imperial examination for the young master Qi this time, the literary talent is brilliant and thought-provoking, and deeply appreciated the three flavors of the student movement. The position of Tanhua is convincing."

Liang Dongyuan listened to this article, his expression became more strange the more he heard it. Finally, he couldn't help but walk forward and asked the man: "Brother, did you just say that the article was written by the young master Qi, and he got Tanhua because of it?"

The scholar drank a sip of wine and laughed and said, "That's right, this virtuous brother is also a student who went to Beijing to take the exam. I'm going to say that my father was working in the Ministry of Rites. Yesterday, he took this article back and taught me a lesson. He said that they are both children from Kyoto, and they can write such articles, but I can only travel all day to let me study hard. In a short time, the articles that ranked first in the Golden List will be published in the Imperial College, and then they will be distributed to all schools and schools throughout the country. You will be able to see it when the time comes."

Liang Dongyuan clenched his fists tightly, shouting with red eyes: "Nonsense! Most of this article is the content of my volume, and even the rhetoric has never been changed! It was clearly written by me! Why did it become a article by Mr. Qi!"

The scholar glanced at Liang Dongyuan and turned around and ignored him. Every year, many people who failed the imperial examinations pretended to be crazy or were really crazy after the results were released. Everyone would avoid such people when they encountered Taoism. Obviously, the scholar also regarded Liang Dongyuan as such.

Liang Dongyuan returned to the hotel angrily and put down his luggage. After asking someone about the address of the Minister of Qi’s house, he hurried over.

When Liang Dongyuan arrived, the Qi Mansion was having a big banquet for guests. The young master Xian gathered. After he explained his purpose, the Qi Mansion's family members sneered and sarcastically mocked him. When Liang Dongyuan insisted on confronting Master Qi, the people there also changed their faces, dragged him into the backyard and beat him up, and threw him into the ditch on the roadside. Before leaving, the three supervisors of the Qi Mansion sneered and said, "Don't say that our young master is very literary. No one in Kyoto knows it. Even if you use your article, it is an honor for your ancestors. If this article is written by you, how many people will pay attention to it? If it is written by our young master, it is an article for a hundred generations. Get out of here!"

Liang Dongyuan fell over in a canal of stinky water, dirty water, blood, and tears gushed out, and a beast-like wail.

A month later, the prefect of Kyoto received a complaint, Liang Cheng Liang Dongyuan sued the son of the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the newly promoted Tanhua Zeppelchuan imperial examination fraud, allowing the servant to hurt people!
