Chapter 2141 Release of the List
Ouyang Zhang sincerely wished for it and did not want Emperor Jingyuan to make such a stupid mistake again.
Mr. Ying Ge saw it and advised him at the right ti: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Ouyang said is that the candidates who entered the Gongyuan cannot be killed... It is better to arrest these complaining candidates and lock them up until the day when the results are released. They were paraded through the streets and then cut off their right hands to warn all literati about the consequences of being greedy for life and afraid of death."
I have to say that Mr. Yingge is indeed a man who has been in power for decades. He is very good at figuring out Emperor Jingyuan's thoughts, and he can be said to have spoken into Emperor Jingyuan's heart.
But Ouyang Zhang disagreed: "Your Majesty, you can parade in the streets to show the public, but you must not cut off your hands... Hands are the lifeblood of literati. If they are cut off, it is no different from beheading. Those whose hands have been cut off will never survive, and may be killed on the spot. Then the matter will beco a big deal, and other literati will feel that Your Majesty..."
Infinite cruelty!
However, for the sake of Emperor Jingyuan's face, Ouyang Zhang did not say these four words, but said euphemistically: "Your Majesty, benevolent governnt is the road."
boom!
Emperor Jingyuan was so angry that he almost smashed the table and asked Ouyang Zhang: "You are scolding for being cruel! I am not good enough to them? I just want them not to be afraid of death, and I don't send them to the battlefield to fight! They are in danger For those who have great fa and enjoy the salary of Da Chu, when Da Chu is in danger, they should go into battle to kill the enemy!"
Emperor Jingyuan had been on the battlefield when he was young, so he behaved sowhat like a martial artist. However, he was too impatient and eager for success. He used strong thods to force others again and again, and got himself into this situation.
But Ouyang Zhang refused to get up and insisted not to let Emperor Jingyuan cut off his right hand.
Yingge Lao advised: "Your Majesty, let Mr. Ouyang get up first. As for whether to cut off their hands, we will decide when they are paraded in public."
Emperor Jingyuan had this step, so he went down. He snorted coldly and said to Ouyang Zhang: "Get up."
"My lord, thank you for your kindness." Ouyang Zhang got up after seeing that there was room for improvent.
As soon as Emperor Jingyuan raised his hand, a group of sergeants imdiately rushed to the examination tent, held down the person who had scread earlier, gagged him, tied him up and took him away.
In order to train the people, Emperor Jingyuan had to stay in the examination shed of Gongyuan for nine days in the three examinations of Jinke. No matter how bitter, cold, or serious the illness was, he could not go out.
Unless you are so sick that you faint and cannot take the exam anymore, we will drag you away.
And only one al, one water, and one charcoal fire are given out every day. After the candidates get the food, water, and charcoal fire, they distribute it themselves. If you finish the al, you will be hungry all day long.
So these nine days, the Gongyuan was like a battlefield, and many candidates were eliminated just by their bodies.
Especially the children of aristocratic families and high-ranking officials, who were too pampered and pampered, could not withstand the bitter cold and fainted one after another. The examination was in vain.
Nine days later, when the gate of Gongyuan was opened, many candidates were carried out, and there was a lot of crying around the Gongyuan, which was quite miserable.
Gu Jinan, Gu Dexing, and Qi Kangming have been practicing boxing and kicking in the past few years, and they are also nourished by old doctor Wu with dicinal diet, so their bodies can still bear it.
Mr. Xu is a shrewd man. When he saw that all the children of the Gu family were practicing martial arts, he also asked Xu Zhaoming to practice. Mr. Qu suffered from illness when he was taking the college entrance examination. He has been learning boxing in the past two years, and the two of them have endured it. , did not fall ill.
As for Yao Youqian, he has been doing hard work since he was a child. He has a strong body and has nothing to do except being hungry.
But Liang Jiang and Yan Xiaowu were carried out by them.
Young Master! Zezi and Feng Lian soon saw Gu Jinan and rushed towards this direction.
After seeing Yan Xiaowu fainted, Zezi hurriedly shouted to the Yan family behind him: "Second Master Yan, your fifth son has fainted, please bring the doctor over here!"
Yan Erye is Yan Xiaowu's cousin. He ca to pick him up personally. When he heard this, he rushed over with his people: "Xiao Wu, how is Xiao Wu? Doctor, save Xiao Wu quickly!"
"I started to have a fever, but I didn't faint until I handed in the paper. It should be fine for the general examination. Don't worry, Mr. Yan." Gu Jinan said, after handing Yan Xiaowu to him, he asked Hua Qianshan to carry Liang Jiang to the carriage. , to save Liang Jiang. Dou Shaodong's family had been waiting for them with a doctor for a long ti. Upon seeing this, they imdiately asked the Dou family doctor to rescue them. After a lot of trouble and giving Liang Jiang so convenient antipyretic dicine, Liang Jiang's high fever finally subsided.
Brother Dou, go find Xi Jiao and tell them. There must be many Jianghuai candidates who have fainted. Gu Jinan said, taking Zezi and Feng Lian to find the Jianghuai candidates.
Ouyang Fu and Miao Zongqi have already received the candidates from Jianghuai and are carrying the fainted ones to the positions reserved by the Dou family to treat them on the spot.
The Dou family mbers were not idle either. They helped those candidates who had not yet fainted but could hardly walk, and fed them hot salt water: "Drink so water and take it slow."
Jiang Sheng and Xu Dexian ca to pick up Gu Jinan and the others. When they saw the situation, they also ca to help. After a lot of work, they finally rescued the Jianghuai candidates.
Xi Jiaoyu even cried: "We are all alive thanks to the Dou Shaodong family, the Yan family and An Geer. Thank you very much."
Just now, several candidates failed to hold on after leaving the Gongyuan and died. The teachers of the deceased candidates were crying bitterly. One of them almost hit the wall, but luckily soone stopped him.
Looking at the number of people who have fainted, it is estimated that so candidates will die of illness in the next few days.
Butler Yan ca over to remind them: "Masters, the Gongyuan is in a ss. It's not advisable to stay here for a long ti. The second master said, let lead people to clear the way for you and **** you back to the inn. If you are late, there will be a stampede or surprise." Damn it, I'm afraid sothing will happen."
The second master Yan has already protected Yan Xiaowu and left first.
Xi Jiaoyu said hurriedly: "Hey, hey, hey, I'll be back soon, I'll be back soon, you've got to work."
Butler Yan imdiately led a team of guards from the Yan family to clear the way. People from the Dou Shaodong family stood behind and escorted the Jianghuai candidates away.
Ouyang Fu and others were protecting Gu Jinan and the others.
Jiang Sheng followed with Xu Dexian. After struggling for half an hour, he finally got out of Gongyuan Street, led the horses and hitched them up, and drove the carriage to Donglai Inn.
It was so chaotic today. Jiang Sheng didn't talk to Gu Jinan much. He only reminded him: "Thank you behind closed doors, and don't go when the results are released, lest you be arrested and taken away to beco the unjust son-in-law... There are many people nowadays." Keeping an eye on you, dont try to gain a good reputation but lose yourself.
After hearing this, Gu Jinan saluted Jiang Sheng and said, "Thank you, senior, for reminding . If I rember this, I will definitely protect myself."
Jiang Sheng nodded, greeted Xu Dexian and left.
Xu Dexian admired Gu Jinan very much and asked before leaving: "Brother Gu, after everything is settled, I can go to you to ask for advice. Is that okay?"
Gu Jinan smiled and said, "Of course it's possible."
After hearing this, Xu Dexian smiled happily, bowed to Gu Jinan, thanked him, and followed Jiang Sheng back.
Xu Dexian is not young anymore, and he has been taught by Jiang Sheng. He has good knowledge. If he takes the exam, he will definitely be able to pass the exam. However, Jiang Sheng will not let him take the exam, saying that he will wait for another three years to see.
He didn't say much and asked Xu Dexian to postpone the imperial examination.
Xu's family believed in him, so they did not let Xu Dexian take the exam.
