In the Chang'an County government office, facing the cry of the scholar Liu Jinyuan, Chang'an County smacked his tongue and said: "Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials, and what you have offended this time is not ordinary officials, but the five surnames and Qiwang. Its power is so huge that you can't imagine it." Yes. This county knows that you have a relationship with Champion Hou. If we can find Mr. Hou in this matter, maybe we can help you."
"It's a pity that the Marquis has been fined and banned for one year. This matter seems to have been planned in advance. Boy, if you hadn't offended the five surnames and Qiwang, it might not have been for you. You are just a Chess piece, accept your defeat and wait until the Marquis comes out."
The scholar loudly retorted: "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, is it possible that in the great Tang Dynasty, there is no place to redress the grievances of the people? If all the injustices in the world have to be dealt with by the Marquis alone, then what are you waiting for these officials to do? Let the people see it. Do you want your officials to protect each other?"
"Presumptuous! Dare you be disrespectful to the county magistrate? Come here..." The master next to him scolded, and the Chang'an magistrate waved his hand to stop everyone.
Faced with the scholar's scolding, the county magistrate was not angry. Instead, he said helplessly: "Oh, you are right to scold me, but it is related to the imperial examination examination room. This county has no right to accept it. Even if it is accepted, it cannot be defeated. Go. Look elsewhere.”
The scholar walked away angrily.
The master asked curiously: "County Master, this matter is under the control of Yushitai, why don't you give him instructions?"
The county magistrate smiled and said, "This boy is a talent. He has caught the eye of the Marquis and is destined to be an official in the future. Now he is an ordinary citizen. Let him experience the hardships of the common people firsthand, which will be good for him in the future. "
The master admired him and said, "The county master is smart."
"Okay, you stay on duty. This county is going out for a trip."
The fifth surname Qi Wang took action against the champion, and he blatantly caused trouble in the imperial examination. This matter must be told to your majesty. Although I, Chang'an County, cannot control the imperial examination examination rooms, I cannot watch you act so recklessly.
On this day, a scholar named Liu Jinyuan visited almost all the government offices in Chang'an City. No one dared to accept his report. Most of them just looked at him with blank eyes. Who would target you in the imperial examination examination room?
"Is this the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty? If all the officials of the Tang Dynasty are like this, then this official is not worthy of him." Liu Jinyuan walked down Zhuque Street dejectedly. He looked back and saw that it was like a huge black coffin. The majestic imperial city left disappointed.
Just as he was approaching the south gate of Chang'an City, he bumped into a thin young man with a stern face.
"I'm sorry." The scholar apologized and moved away.
But the other party smiled, "I heard that someone went to all the yamen in Chang'an City today to complain. Is it you?"
The scholar then raised his head and looked carefully, and asked warily: "Who are you?"
I thought it was Director Cui of the examination room who sent someone to arrest me.
The other party said in a bad tone: "Boy, since you have visited all the yamen in Chang'an City, why don't you go to ours alone? Do you look down on us?"
Um...where do you start with this? Who are you? Why should I look down upon you?
"My name is Liu Rengui. Maybe you don't recognize me. I am the former magistrate of Chang'an County, but you recognize your father, Mr. Liu."
The scholar shook his head, "I'm sorry, I didn't hear that from my father. The current Chang'an County Magistrate doesn't dare to take care of my affairs, let alone you, the former Magistrate."
Liu Rengui scoffed: "Boy, have you been reading books all day long and making people stupid? If you want to redress your grievances, come with me."
Without any explanation, he went up to grab the scholar and left.
"Hey, who are you? Did the guy named Cui send you here?"
The couplets on both sides of the gate of Yushitai are resolute and vigorous, "Please go elsewhere for promotion and wealth. Don't enter this door if you are greedy for life and afraid of death."
The scholar read it once, frowned and said, "This pair is excellent, as if it was written by a general. It should be hung in the Ministry of War. Why is it hung on the Yushitai?"
Liu Rengui sneered, "Boy, what do you know? The words are written by the champion Hou himself. The Marquis taught that fighting is not civilized or military, and does not necessarily involve bloodshed and sacrifice. The Yushitai is in charge of the court officials to govern the Qingming Festival, which is to build a great wall of people's hearts for the country. This battlefield is more difficult than guarding the border to resist the enemy."
After hearing this, the scholar was convinced, and then he was attracted by a large bluestone tablet next to him. He saw a sentence engraved on it: "I hope that the laws of the Tang Dynasty will be established for the sake of the people. They will not be tolerated because of nobility, not deprived because of poverty, and all injustices will be vindicated." , there is no crime of imposition, obeying the law is like wielding a sword, destroying evil spirits and evil spirits, and not seeking gods."
"I hope that the people of the Tang Dynasty can follow the truth, know etiquette and justice, be benevolent, do not judge success or failure based on money, do not submit to power, sympathize with the weak, hate injustice, be strong-willed in times of crisis, and always reflect on themselves when no one is around."
"I hope that there will be no more oppression and restraint in this world. Everyone who is born in this world will have the right to live, the right to freedom, and the right to happiness. I hope that one day, everyone is born equal, and there is no distinction between high and low. Protect life and pursue light; this is my heart’s wish. Although there are countless twists and turns, I will not be afraid to move forward. We are all born equal, and everyone is like a dragon!"
This this……
The scholar was deeply shocked. He pointed at the inscription and couldn't say a word. His face was full of excitement and trembling.
Liu Rengui nodded, it seemed that this boy was a promising talent.
"Every scholar in the world will be shocked when seeing this inscription. This inscription can be regarded as the highest goal of our generation of scholars."
"May I ask, sir, who wrote this inscription?" the scholar asked with a respectful salute.
Liu Rengui bowed his hands towards the imperial city and said in admiration: "This is written by the hands of today's saints."
What? Handwritten by a saint?
(PS: What kind of saint's handwriting? Of course it was written by Xiao Rui, based on the novel Qing Yu Nian in his previous life. But he didn't care about this reputation, and it was best to give it to Emperor Li Er who was so happy with his achievements. So there is such a saint's handwriting, The idol of scholars all over the world.)
The scholar was stunned for a moment, and then he knelt down solemnly in front of the inscription and kowtowed, "After reading this inscription, I know that the saint has great ambitions. Today, he ran around Chang'an Yamen, feeling resentful and misunderstanding the imperial court. Liu Jinyuan is short-sighted."
Liu Rengui pulled the other party up, "Let's go, follow me in. His Majesty's ideal is grand, but it is difficult to realize it. It requires more like-minded people to work together. For example, what happened to you today, Yushitai Specializing in punishing corrupt officials, as long as the evidence is conclusive, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to escape the justice of the world."
Li Er originally wanted to take action personally, but when he heard that the Yushitai was moved, Li Er smiled. It would be a good idea to give it a try when there is no Xiao Rui. There are a few people who are worthy of great responsibility.
Kong Yingda, the chief examiner of the imperial examination, quarreled angrily with Chief Cui and expelled a candidate. How dare you, a deputy examiner, make your own decisions? What a courage!
Chief Cui did not take Kong Yingda as a rotten scholar seriously, "Kong Jijiu, I am strictly enforcing the regulations of the imperial examination and dealing with a scholar who violates the rules and cheats. I don't think I need to ask for your instructions, right?"
"Okay, very good! You'd better comply with the regulations. If I let this officer find out, it's you who are avenging your personal revenge and ruining the reputation of the imperial examination. I won't let you go!"
After walking away, Kong Yingda wrote an apologetic letter to Xiao Rui.
