The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 32

[32. Chapter 32 Guangzong Yaozu]

When he thought of his three disciples taking the top three positions, Fang Jifan’s body started to float unconsciously.

Looking back, I saw Ouyang Zhi and the other three looking like they couldn’t believe it. Once upon a time, they were ordinary and extraordinary scholars, but today… Guangzong Yaozu.

Plop…

In this bustling place, Ouyang Zhi was the first to kneel down without hesitation, with tears in his eyes.

Jiang Chen and Liu Wenshan also knelt down one after another: “Thank you Enfu for your teaching!”

The strangest thing today is that no one is paying attention to the first Jie Yuan and the second and third newly promoted candidates, but to all Everyone was staring at Fang Jifan hotly!

What does Jie Yuan mean? This evil young man from the capital actually trained three exam masters, and he was also a fighter in the exams!

Fang Jifan put away Concubine Xiang’s fan. Facing countless people’s doubtful and envious looks, he thought of Wang Jianren. He slowly came to Wang Jianren and said, “Brother Jian…”

Wang Jianren stared at him dumbfounded. Until now, he is still unwilling to accept the facts that are happening in front of him. Although he said just now that he might have failed and could only get second place in the exam, in fact, he felt that he was bound to win Jieyuan this time. , who would have expected… to be sixth.

That was fine, but what he couldn’t accept the most was that the top three were taken by Ouyang Zhi, the three students he looked down upon the most.

My heart…aches…ah!

Fang Jifan rarely put away his usual cheerful demeanor, patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously: “Brother Jian, as you just said, exams may not have anything to do with knowledge. After all, it depends on luck. Luck It’s common for horses to stumble before they come. As for my three scoundrels, ha… ha… wait, let me laugh proudly for a while…” Fang Jifan couldn’t help laughing. , barely held back, and couldn’t help but laugh: “Three scoundrels like me, thanks to Brother Bitch’s kind words just now, have better luck, don’t mind, don’t mind, work hard next time! I believe in you, you must Okay!”

Wang Jianren felt that every word he heard was extremely harsh. He staggered and almost lost his balance. Suddenly, he remembered something and couldn’t help but said angrily: “You…you cheated, you cheated, you must cheat. It’s fraud. If it weren’t for fraud, how could Ouyang Zhi, the three untalented people, be able to win the prize and be ranked second and third? Yes, this is fraud.”

He seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. The eyes of many students who had failed the exam around them also brightened, as if they had a glimmer of hope.

What the failed scholar likes most is remarks about cheating. After all, this at least proves that it is not that he is incompetent, but that there are bad people in the examination room!

Originally it would have been okay if Wang Jianren didn’t mention it, but saying this made Fang Jifan angry, so Fang Jifan sneered: “Bold, cheating? If it’s cheating, who leaked the questions? The person who presided over the provincial examination was the current Minister of Civil Affairs, Wang Aowang.” , do you mean to accuse Mr. Wang of fraud? “

“…” Wang Jianren subconsciously took a step back, like a bolt from the blue.

Yes, the examiner who presides over the provincial examination is none other than Mr. Wang, who is known for his integrity. Mr. Wang is the teacher of the emperor, the official minister, respected by the people of the world, and a half-legged man who is about to enter the cabinet and become the prime minister. auxiliary person.

If it were like the provincial examinations in other provinces, and only academic officials were appointed to take the examination, it would still be aggrieved; but by slandering Wang Ao and Fang Jifan for colluding with each other and causing an imperial examination fraud case, this is asking for death.

Wang Jianren’s eyes suddenly lost their luster. Finally, he couldn’t bear it anymore and collapsed on the ground with a snap.

Those failed scholars who tried to make a comeback by exaggerating fraud became frustrated again. All examiners in the world can cheat, but only princes, it is absolutely impossible.

The market has been shaken.

Fang Jinglong, who was on duty at the Fifth Army Governor’s Mansion, was approached by the captains of the Imperial Guard at this time.

When Fang Jinglong saw the Jin Yiwei coming, he was startled at first. It couldn’t be…my son had gotten into something again, and he suddenly felt depressed.

The governors and generals of the Fifth Army Governor’s Mansion are all relatives of the emperor and hereditary nobles. Especially when they are on duty, they actually come and issue driving stickers. If they have not received instructions from the top, who will believe it?

So as soon as the post from Jin Yiwei outside arrived, the governor’s mansion exploded.

They called Nan and Bo Fang Jinglong by name. What happened?

The British Duke Zhang Mao was also on duty today. When he heard the noise, his face turned pale. Something happened, something big happened. Jin Yiwei personally issued a driving post to mention the person. Although Zhang Mao, the British Duke, never disdained Jin Yiwei, but if Jin Yiwei When performing official duties, behind them is the Emperor.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mao felt that the situation was serious.

In fact, he was very tired of Lao Fang these days. This shameless guy always wanted to ask him to be a matchmaker, and he often said that His Majesty still has a daughter who has not yet left the cabinet. Zhang Mao felt sour after hearing this, and simply went to Fang Jinglong. Keep your distance. Can’t you afford to offend or hide?

But such a big thing happened today. As an old friend, Zhang Mao felt that he couldn’t just sit back and watch.

Zhang Mao hurried to Fang Jinglong’s apartment and saw Fang Jinglong sitting with an ashen look on his face. Before the captain of the Jin Yiwei came into the room, Zhang Mao stepped forward and said, “Old Fang, what have you done?”

Fang Jinglong was also frightened: “I think it was Quanzi who committed the crime…” As he said that, tears fell down: “I only have such a son… just such a son…”

Zhang Mao listened to his ramblings and sighed: “I just remembered something. A few days ago, Mr. Xie Ge, the cabinet minister, lost his temper at His Majesty, saying that Fang Jifan killed scholars. Is this true? It seems that the censors have all been impeached. Is it possible? Because of this, Your Majesty…”

Fang Jinglong was startled: “It’s just harming a few scholars, is it so serious?”

Zhang Mao suddenly understood the reason. In all likelihood, Fang Jinglong, the father, not only did not stop him, but also became an accomplice. Zhang Mao said angrily: “You are really an old fool. Your Majesty is generous. Since he ascended the throne, Especially treating students favorably, this matter can be big or small. From a small perspective, it is just a child playing nonsense, but from a large perspective, it is an honorable person who is humiliating a disciple of a saint. Damn it, this is probably why Lao Fang is here. , you must be mentally prepared. What I said earlier, what I said earlier, my son will be beaten, especially an unscrupulous son like the successor. I wanted to beat him at the beginning, but if it was my son, it would be tolerated. Want him to go to the house and unveil the tiles?”

But at this moment, there were hurried footsteps outside, and Zhang Mao put away his angry face. Now that Lao Fang is in trouble, he can’t just stand by and watch. If the Jin Yiwei dares to do something violent, huh, he will The British public is not a vegetarian either.

So he put on a majestic look and waited for the leader of the Hundred Household Officials in Jinyi Guards to come in. As soon as the Hundred Household Officials saw the British Duke, they hurriedly bowed down and said, “I have met the British Duke.” Then they gave Fang Jinglong a complicated look. : “I’ve met Uncle Nan He.”

“What’s the matter?” Zhang Mao asked sharply.

The hundred households were startled when they saw Zhang Mao’s murderous eyes looking towards him, as if he was warning, meaning, you should be careful.

Baihu said hurriedly: “Something… something happened.”

As soon as he heard something happened… the room was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

“What happened?”

Baihu asked: “Just half an hour ago, there were many people wandering around the old house of the Fang family, apparently heading for the ancestral graves of the Fang family. This matter happened to Qianhu of Jinyiwei in Dongcheng. The school captain found out and felt that the situation was serious, so he quickly reported it. I also felt that the matter was not simple and was afraid that something big would happen, so I came to report to Uncle Fang and asked him to be careful. “

Ancestor…ancestral grave
