Facts have proved that a group of candidates, including Zhao Yu, did not seem to have an accurate concept of "distance", or in other words, they did not have an accurate concept of their "physical strength".
Han You was riding on the horse, holding the whip in his right hand and shaking his head.
After walking a little more than a mile, or more than 500 meters, several candidates started to support each other.
This makes it difficult for Han You to understand. He can't walk more than 500 meters. Is he a useless person?
But the fact really happened before his eyes, and Han You had to believe it.
Many candidates were already gasping for breath and wanted to shout. Before they could open their mouths, soldiers from the Yidao Battalion on horseback gave them murderous looks.
Facing this kind of look, those candidates felt that they were not going to take an exam, but like they were going to the execution ground.
They couldn't understand how the Yidao Guards could be so lawless, and they couldn't understand that no one in the civil and military dynasties came to stop them.
In fact, some people wanted to stop him. After the various government offices learned that the examination venue was changed to Four Seasons Villa, many people wanted to enter the palace to see the emperor, but they did not see the emperor and did not enter the palace gate.
The civil and military personnel stood at the gate of the palace to convey the emperor's oral instructions. Everything will be discussed after the scientific examination is over. Now, each performs his or her duties. If you are not satisfied, you can keep your official robe and write a letter to resign tomorrow. If you are unhappy and don't want to, If you lose your official position, that's fine. You can just rebel.
This is the first time that Boss Zhou has been so tough since he came to the throne.
Because Boss Zhou is very angry.
Because Boss Zhou felt that Four Seasons Villa had lost a lot of money after it closed down, and Han You seemed to disagree with the imperial court asking for compensation.
Because Boss Zhou had just learned that Han You had his damn exam questions sold for more than 70,000 yuan, and he didn't even get a penny from them.
Because Boss Zhou just learned that 69 of the 1,333 candidates privately bought fake test questions, and these 69 people had at least 200 to 300 people read the fake test questions.
This means that if there is malpractice in the scientific examination, at least 20% of the candidates will be involved.
Boss Zhou was completely angry. He felt that this was a slap in the face of his emperor.
Before I became emperor, fraud in scientific examinations was common.
After I became emperor, fraud in scientific examinations was still common.
Doesn’t this mean that I was the emperor for nothing?
It wasn't until nightfall that Boss Zhou changed into clothes and left the palace.
He didn't know Han You's plan, but as before, he supported Han You unconditionally. He wanted to leave the palace because he was afraid that Han You could not withstand the pressure. He needed to leave the palace to stand up for Han You at the critical moment, or to kill someone. !
At the same time, two kilometers outside the west of the city, the Jingwei standing on both sides of the official road had lit torches, and two fire dragons illuminated the path of no return for the candidates who were complaining incessantly.
Han You, who was riding a horse, walked at the front, looking back from time to time.
Today, Qian Ji, the Minister of Rites, is also riding a horse.
Han You's face was expressionless, but Qian Ji sighed.
One hundred and nineteen people have been left behind.
This means that for candidates, 10% has been removed.
Qian Ji sighed, not because he was afraid of something happening, but because he felt that this world was almost fucking hopeless.
There are four gates in the huge capital city. Many people cannot live in the middle of the capital. They live outside the city. Before dawn, they go outside the city to wait, waiting to enter the city. It is still dark at night, and they run to the four gates to wait to leave the city. They come and go, many times. The people had to walk at least seven or eight miles, rain or shine.
But the officials who manage these people, the candidates who are about to become officials and manage the people, can't even walk three miles. Each one of them seems to be dying. Many candidates are still lying on the ground and rolling around, saying that they want to be in Shilin. I am looking for the emperor to seek justice from his ministers!
Justice doesn't need to be asked for later, Han You gave them justice now.
Or, just rest where you are and fall behind, as long as you arrive at the villa exam room before tomorrow's chen hour.
Or, force Lai Lai to be thrown directly into the prison car, sent back to the middle of the capital, taken to the Jingzhao Mansion Prison, and released after the scientific examination.
But there is a third option, Han You is purely for survival.
He asked the guards on both sides to pass back one by one. Those who couldn't walk could ride horses. The horses were ready and they rode to Four Seasons Villa.
Many candidates were really fooled. They struggled to get on the horse, and then fell to their backs. They were mercilessly ridiculed by the soldiers of the Yidao Camp.
More than ten people were injured in the fall, and thousands of candidates who dared to be angry but dared not speak out continued to rush on their way.
Han You laughed loudly while riding the horse, shouting that they were not as good as the useless Shen Tuming, the son of the former Prime Minister Shen Tu Gang, at least Shen Tu Ming could ride a horse.
The soldiers of Yidao Camp laughed even louder, telling the candidates how little, incompetent and useless Shen Tuming was.
Shen Tuming probably didn't expect that even if he died, he would have to be pulled out by Han You and whipped.
"Why."
Qian Ji turned around, looked at the candidates who were walking slower and slower, and sighed. This sigh had a thousand words.
Yes, you should sigh, it’s too outrageous and outrageous.
A group of future officials who are always shouting about loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, dedicating their lives to the people and fighting for the country and the dynasty, can't even walk a mile. It's not outrageous. This kind of outrageousness is second only to the six-year-old boy who went to Wu Cheng'en's former residence. Ancestor worship.
It is these people who are unable to walk all the way. It is very likely that they will stand in the court in the future, deducting the food and wages of the soldiers who protect the country, and managing the people of the world. I want to set an example for everyone in the world.
This world is so strange and inexplicable. The most painful thing for Qian Ji is that these inexplicable things have gradually become normal.
Not knowing what he thought of, Qian Ji suddenly raised his hand to Han You.
"Han You."
Qian Ji showed a bitter smile: "I don't know how many candidates will arrive at the villa smoothly, and I don't know how many candidates will stay. I just know that after the scientific examination, you will be attacked by a group of people."
Han You shrugged: "I don't care."
"I care!" Qian Ji said sternly: "If something happens, I will take full responsibility. You must remember and do the same. When the time comes, everything will be blamed on me."
Han You was a little confused and didn't know why Qian Ji suddenly said such words.
Lao Qian is a good man and a person who dares to take responsibility, but Han You can't figure out why Qian Ji suddenly looks filled with emotion.
Looking at Qian Ji's miserable old face, Han You asked in a strange way: "Sir, I have something to ask you, is it okay?"
"Why did I get the gold medal for rescuing the driver and avoiding death..." Qian Ji's somewhat cloudy old eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and he said with a smile but not a smile: "Then he seemed to have changed his temper and pointed the finger at the world's aristocratic families? "
"Yes, can you tell me why? After all, you also come from a noble family."
Qian Ji hesitated for a long time, then smiled and said: "Okay, let me tell you. If I don't tell you, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to tell you in the future. I'll tell you a story."
"I'm all ears, kid."
Qian Ji looked at the end of the fire and slowly told a story.
The protagonist of the story is not Qian Ji, Qian Ji only narrates it in the tone of a bystander.
The father of the former Hunjun, the Emperor Wanlong, heard that there was a war in Beiguan, so he personally led the imperial guards to the Changyang River in the north.
In winter, the Changyang River froze, and the army marched on the ice. When Emperor Wanlong's chariot was about to reach the other side, the ice broke and thousands of people fell into the glacier.
The troops, officials, and people accompanying the driver all panicked. Only one man jumped into the river and saved more than ten people, including the Emperor Wanlong.
The emperor fell into the river and the army took a detour back to Beijing.
With the help of the rescuer, Leng Touqing rose to prominence and won a gold medal to avoid death.
Not long after, Emperor Wanlong passed away, suffering from the root cause of his illness, and the previous emperor ascended the throne.
In order to show his filial piety to the people of the world, the former emperor wants to be held accountable. Why did his father, Emperor Wanlong, fall into the glacier? The vanguard army, the northern family and the local government did not know that the Changyang River was frozen and overwhelmed. ?
The matter was soon clarified. It turned out that there was a bridge, a chain bridge, three chain bridges.
When the people in the north heard that the emperor wanted to lead the expedition in person, they organized themselves spontaneously, with a total of more than 4,000 people, and built three cable bridges in more than a month.
These common people, no, they should be unruly people. The reason why these unscrupulous people built the iron cable bridge was because they could receive rewards and pay for their labor.
They were all unscrupulous people, so when they were building the cable bridges, they acted cunningly and passively and sabotaged the work. In the end, the three cable bridges were broken before the army arrived. In desperation, the army could only walk on the ice.
He also said that if it were not for the construction of the bridge, the ice surface of Changyang River would be solid, but the people trampled on it, which made the ice surface thinner.
Everything was blamed on the so-called "unruly people". The former emperor was so angry that the Yidao camp left the palace and headed to the north. After two months, more than 4,000 people were thrown into the river and drowned, and more than ten others were thrown into the river. Several local civil servants and minor officials of the ninth and eighth grades took the blame.
Because of this incident, Leng Tou Qing, who rose to prominence, always had nightmares and couldn't sleep well. After that, he took leave and went to the North to investigate.
Through Leng Touqing's investigation, we learned that more than 4,000 so-called unruly people were forcibly recruited by the local government and aristocratic families to build the bridge. There were more than 5,000 people in total, and more than 600 people died just to quickly build the chain bridge.
The local officials and aristocratic families were just trying to flatter the emperor, but unexpectedly, the bridge was broken before the emperor came, and no one mentioned it.
This means that if that stupid young man did not save Emperor Wanlong and allowed Emperor Wanlong to die, after the former emperor ascended the throne in advance, the matter would be thoroughly investigated and finally traced to the Beidi family and local officials. , those more than four thousand people would not die unjustly.
In other words, this stupid young man saved the life of Emperor Wanlong, but indirectly killed more than 4,000 people.
This is the answer, this is Qian Ji's loneliness.
Lonely Qian Ji wants to die, but he needs to kill as many aristocratic families as possible on the way to death. Only in this way will he have less regrets and regrets on the day of death.
After finishing the story about Leng Tou Qing, Qian Ji's tone was very relaxed, as if he was talking about an unrelated matter.
Han You was silent for a long time, then turned around and roared: "Go the hell away quickly. If we can't reach the villa within an hour, we will all be disqualified from the exam, Male Gobi!"
Qian Ji turned his head, still smiling.
How he hoped that none of these candidates from aristocratic families would become officials, and that they would all go away and die. In this case, many people would die unjustly in this world.
