Chapter 27 Angrily tearing the emperor list(1/2)
In early May, Daliang has entered early summer. The sky is still blue and the sun is still bright. After a long wait, the waiting-for-seekers of the national officials have officially arrived on this day.
At dawn, Jiang Weizhen had already gotten up, washed himself and dressed up very energetic. He stood at the door of the wing room and took a deep breath of fresh air, and then walked firmly towards the door of Prince Yu's mansion, but he didn't expect to meet Xuan Shaoning.
"Brother Xuan got up so early, too?"
"Today is the big day for the release of the charts. How could I miss this time? Looking at Brother Jiang's dress, I think he should be on the list!"
"I wish to borrow the auspicious words from Brother Xuan!"
"Several of my classmates are going to Nangongyuan, why not be together?"
"Very good!"
The two walked out of the door and saw Xiao Moyan, Yan Keran, Mu Qingyuan, Du Shaoyin, Su Qian, and Zhao Kexin had already been waiting.
"Shaoning! Brother Jiang! Get on the horse quickly, don't miss the good time to release the results!" Xiao Moyan was already a little anxious when riding on the horse.
"But..." Before Xuan Shaoning finished the second half of the sentence "Brother Jiang can't ride a horse", he saw Jiang Weizhen skillfully getting on the horse and looking back at him.
"Brother Xuan, what are you still hesitating about!"
Xuan Shaoning adjusted his somewhat surprised expression, and hurriedly turned over, thinking to himself, "This Jiang Weizhen really cannot be underestimated."
At this time, there were already crowds of people outside the Nangong Courtyard. Hundreds of officials and the people in the capital who were not inferior to those of the officials were talking and waiting. The scene was very lively. Xuan Shaoning and others pushed the horses further away and walked into the crowd. In the bustling sea of people, Jiang Weizhen's eyes were sharp-eyed and soon saw Anliyin, who was still wearing a common man.
"Brother An!" Jiang Weizhen walked towards An Liyin. Obviously, An Liyin also heard Jiang Weizhen's call and came over with a smile.
"I originally wanted to find Brother An, but you have arrived one step ahead of me!"
"Haha, today's anxious thought that Brother Jiang is no less than me!"
"Brother An said very well!"
"I guess Brother Jiang will definitely be shortlisted for the third place!"
"I'm not hiding my brother An, I'm still confident in my third-class brother."
"Then congratulations to Brother Jiang first. I just want to be famous on the list and be satisfied."
"Although it hasn't been long since I met Brother An, I think I can definitely be on the list from Brother An's words and deeds!"
"There is a report!" Someone shouted, and almost everyone's eyes looked towards the direction of the tribute court: two officials wearing yellow silk clothes walked towards the wall with two volumes of the list, under the protection of four guards. For a moment, the lively post-release area immediately became silent, and everyone was staring at the post-release in the hands of the post-release. Those who did not take the Beijing Examination were infected by the atmosphere around them, and it was also difficult to suppress their tense and excited mood.
The first person to put the listing article in front of the list. This article writes the name of the person who made the list in this exam; the person to the back of the listing officer is the name of the six officials who ranked third in this exam. When the listing article is slowly unfolded, almost everyone held their breath. Xuan Shaoning also tried his best to lean forward, opened his eyes wide and wanted to see the name on the listing article clearly.
Liang Li's 29th Beijing Examination Third Year
Top scorer: Jiang Weizhen
Second place: Sun Jincheng, Ma Daochuan
Tanhua: Mu Qingyuan, Lei Xinyang, Wu Zhe
"Qingyuan! Tanhua!" Xiao Moyan was the first to shout, and Xuan Shaoning also saw the three words "Jiang Weizhen" and was about to go and congratulate him, but unfortunately he was not found for a while.
"Shaoyin, you have your name too!"
"You two are so good!"
Yan Keran, Xiao Moyan, Su Qian had surrounded Mu Qingyuan and Du Shaoyin in the middle, everyone's face was filled with joy, and Xuan Shaoning was also standing aside and looking at them happily.
"Look, Brother Jiang! You are the top scorer!" An Liyin widened her eyes and pointed hard at the direction of the list. Jiang Weizhen couldn't believe it when he looked at his name. Although he was arrogant, he was really unexpected to say that he could become the top scorer in the Beijing Examination. The expression on his face gradually changed from initial surprise to surprise. At this moment, the emotions in his heart turned into tears in the end.
"Oh... I don't have my name." An Liyin was very disappointed after reading the list. After all, Jiang Weizhen met An Liyin and wanted to comfort her.
"Why don't I have my name?"
"I don't have one, I still think I'll be on the list this time!"
"Look, the name of the 3rd A is so familiar."
"Isn't Sun Jincheng the son of the current Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"
"Yes! And that Wu Zhe, I know him so much, how can he talk about literary talent! His father is the richest man in our county!"
"I don't think it's just Wu Zhe. Ma Daochuan is the son of the president of the Jiangnan Salt Chamber of Commerce!"
"The son of the left-level censor Lei Qiwei, the Censor of the Censorate, is also on the list!"
"Mu Qingyuan, the son of the young minister of Dali Temple, is also among them!"
"This is not the Beijing Examination exam! It is clearly the son of officials, and the children of rich families play tricks, so we are all teased!"
"More than three, there are fifty of the sixty officials on the list who are all southern officials!"
"No, we northern scholars are just a few and are ranked at the bottom. This is discrimination!"
"Ten years of hard work... I studied hard for so long and turned out to be such a result. What's the use of studying!"
"It's outrageous! I tore up the official and powerful people and respect the southern quotation texts!"
"Yes! Tear it! Tear it!"
Before Jiang Weizhen's tears could be completely fallen, and before Mu Qingyuan and others could celebrate, the members of the public had already begun to be excited, especially those of the scholars in the north.
"What's wrong? Why did it suddenly become like this?" Looking at the angry selves, Zhao Kexin was obviously frightened.
Seeing the chaos among the officials becoming more and more intense, Xuan Shaoning actually saw a person in the crowd again, the person who had collided and left after the collision, the person who had appeared near the Gongyuan appeared among the officials again, and he was very hard to cheer. There were problems with this person! Catch him first! But no matter how much I think about it, there were too many people. Although the two were not far apart, it was not easy to squeeze through the crowd. At this time, the man also vigilantly discovered that Xuan Shaoning was squeezing towards him, and turned around and ran towards the crowd.
Oh no, he discovered my intention! Xuan Shaoning was even more anxious when he saw the man running away, but he didn't know that something worse happened at this moment. Several scholars who took the lead actually pushed the officers and soldiers away and tore off the two list documents directly!
"These two articles that are soaked in power, money and regional discrimination, do you say this should be done?"
"Teared!"
"Tear!"
"Tear!"
Xuan Shaoning was about to shout, "Don't tear it!" He heard a sound of paper breaking, and the two list documents were torn into pieces and began to fly in the air.
"We are not convinced!"
"We want the court to give an explanation to the students in the world!"
"Yes! Explain!"
After a while, the man had disappeared. Xuan Shaoning was so angry that he stamped his feet. At the same time, Yan Keran's voice came into his ears, "Don't do anything to mess around! This is the tribute court, the holy place for the imperial examination, how can you let you do such a rebellion!" Xuan Shaoning cried in his heart and said something bad!
A leading official looked at Yan Keran viciously and angrily scolded: "The Gongyuan was indeed sacred in our hearts, but unfortunately, it's not now!"
"I think you guys should be profitable!" Another official walked up and pointed in the direction of Mu Qingyuan and others. "Otherwise, how could you sing the opposite tune with us all!"
"Yes! Either you come from a family of officials or a child from a wealthy family!"
"I recognize that person, he is Mu Qingyuan!"
"No wonder!"
Yan Keran didn't expect that his actions would be counterproductive. Seeing these students venting their anger on them, Xuan Shaoning yelled in a hurry: "The officers and soldiers are here!" Just as everyone's attention was diverted, Xuan Shaoning ran to Yan Keyan, pulled up a few people and ran in the opposite direction of the Gongyuan.
"Damn it! They lied to us!"
"Go and chase!"
"No need, it's a serious crime for us to tear the list text. Let's go to Chaoyang Gate to apologize!"
"Yes! Apologize!"
Hundreds of failed officials walked towards Chaoyang Gate, the main gate of the imperial city, shouting loudly along the way, "Give justice to all students in the world!" This attracted more people who stood up for the officials to join them, and the march gradually became larger.
At this time, the few people who ran out of the crowd stopped at the corner of the street. Du Shaoyin, Mu Qingyuan and others were gasping for breath, "What's going on? Why did they suddenly start causing trouble?"
"Didn't you hear them shouting? You must be dissatisfied with the release of the results!" Su Qian was breathing while not forgetting to look back to see if anyone was chasing him.
"It seems that these students who failed the exam are dissatisfied with the list text?"
"It's not just dissatisfaction, it's simply anger!"
"Things are getting big, Ke Ran, hurry back home and notify your father!"
As soon as Xuan Shaoning reminded Yan Keran, he just remembered it and hurriedly ran towards Jingzhao Yin Mansion.
"Qingyuan, Shaoyin, you should go home first. It is not advisable to show up at this time, especially Qingyuan!" Xuan Shaoning turned to Xiao Moyan and said, "Moyan, you send them back."
"What about you?"
"I have to go back and report to King Yu!"
It was only half an hour after the incident happened. When Xuan Shaoning rushed back to the Yu Prince's Mansion, King Yu was reading the military supplies sent by Mobei in his study.
Bang! King Yu threw the military pieces on the table, stood up and asked loudly, "How could this happen!"
"Go back to Your Highness, now all the officials are heading towards Chaoyang Gate. Ke Ran should have informed the Prime Minister Yan of this matter at this time!"
"I believe that the prefect can control the situation and prepare a car. I will enter the palace immediately!"
When King Yu's car arrived at Qingxuan Gate, which was specially designed for the royal family to enter the palace for the first time, the parade officials also barely arrived at Chaoyang Gate. The shouts of the officials could be heard even at Qingxuan Gate. King Yu, with a serious face, sat in the car and said firmly, "East Palace!"
As the prefect of the capital, Yan Di's duty is naturally to maintain the safety of the capital. Once the officials arrive at the imperial city, it will inevitably alarm the Imperial Guards. Therefore, hundreds of the officials can be said to be "attacked from both sides" at this time: the Imperial Guards are blocking their eyes, and behind them are the Imperial Guards who rushed to the capital after hearing the news.
The man standing in front of the Imperial Guard had a golden helmet and iron armor, frowned, holding the sword in his left hand and pressing the hilt with his right hand. It seemed that he had prepared to draw the sword at any time. He shouted loudly: "This is the imperial city. If you take a step forward, our Imperial Guard will show no mercy!" All the Imperial Guards behind him were also ready to fight with spears. On the one hand, the confrontation was a servant with a scholar who was full of righteous indignation; on the other hand, the Imperial Guards with responsibility, holding weapons, and ruthless faces. For a moment, the atmosphere outside Chaoyang Gate was so tense that even the air was about to solidify.
"Commander Han!"
