Tang Yi sat at the top, condescending, with an indifferent expression, as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Tan Aiqing..."

"Hey, how could the old man's name be called by you?"

Tang Ge was very excited.

Tang Yi let out a chuckle, "Pfft, haven't you recognized the status quo yet? The Tan Aiqing I'm talking about is him~"

Xian Xianyu pointed to a young man in the hall. Although the man was panicked for a moment when he was named, he quickly adjusted his state, calm and elegant.

This person is the grandson of Mr. Tange, Mr. Xiao Tan who was taken hostage by King Liang and threatened Mr. Tange to rebel.

He was precocious when he was young, he took part in the imperial examination without telling everyone in his family, and was assigned to be a magistrate in a poor prefecture and county. Yi is determined to replace the old man in court, how can he have a chance to become an official again?

Tang Yi originally thought that Mr. Tan would be able to calm down some of Tange's disappointment and depression by reusing Mr. Tan, but he didn't expect Tange to be so stubborn about power.

Involuntary, a wrong step is a wrong step, it is really suitable for Mr. Tange.

Tang Yi looked at the haggard, pitiful and hateful old man underneath, and sighed softly.

Two months ago, Yangzhou Huishan Academy.

A crescent moon hangs on the top of the mountain, and from time to time one or two crows of jackdaws can be heard in the dark woods.

Taking advantage of the darkness, a shadow pushed open the gate of Shanzhang's courtyard.

"Shan Zhang, the list is released today."

"How many people?"

The inspector glanced at the longing-looking old mountain chief, turned his head, pulled out the pipe from his waist, took two puffs dully, then put the cigarette holder on the edge of the table leg as if to vent his anger, and rapped hard.

"Two people."

The old mountain chief was stunned for a moment, poured tea and said with a smile: "Two people entered the first class?"

The inspector gritted his teeth, "There are two people in total! The top three are Jinshi."

With a shake of Lao Shan's long hands and a shake of the teacup, the maroon tea soup swirled out, staining the plain robe.

"How?" He asked again, "What about last year?"

Last year, the new emperor ascended the throne and opened Enke's.

The inspector was heartbroken, "Four of them are also top three Jinshi."

The head of the mountain was puzzled, and murmured: "How come there are so few?"

"What about the previous years?"

"Twenty or so, ten in the second and third grades, and Chuanlu are all ours. How beautiful was our Huishan Academy before last year? Which family in Yangzhou would not want to send their children to Huishan? Now... ..." Thinking that the walls have ears, the supervisor swallowed the words forcefully, got up and closed the window.

"Now the emperor wants to reuse those vulgar farmers and craftsmen and let them be officials. What's more, we scholars who can't carry our hands on our shoulders are useless. The number of scholars has been reduced a lot.

But I really don't want to see us. "

"It's nonsense! If you have the Tao, everything is inferior, and only reading is high. Why is the emperor so close to those farmers in the mountains? Can masons help him manage the country?"

Shan Chang was born in a poor family, and he got rid of poverty by studying the imperial examinations. However, he was lonely and arrogant, and he was excluded several times in his official career. Later, he resigned and came to Huishan Academy.

The inspector here was a candidate of the same class as him, and they were supported by Mr. Tang Ge together. The two were considered brothers, and they supported each other, making Huishan Academy a signboard of Yangzhou.

After Huishan Academy became famous, the head of the mountain began to retire, obsessed with ancient books, devoted himself to compiling books, and didn't know much about the changes outside.

The supervisor is different from the head of the mountain. He was born in a declining noble family, and he is also a bastard. He has tasted the warmth and coldness of human beings since he was a child. After taking the imperial examination, he took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the south of the Yangtze River to get rid of the control and oppression of the family.

Thanks to his youthful experience, the inspector is at ease here, and he does not forget to contact his mentors and brothers in the capital. On the eve of the exam, he will get some exam questions, and then give appropriate pointers to the students. Huishan Academy The students occupied half of the places on the red list.

Therefore, the supervisor has gained a lot of benefits, but now because of Tang Yi's reforms, he can no longer reap the benefits, but don't worry, his mouth is blistered and he can't even eat.

"Isn't that the reason? But when the emperor first came to the throne, there must be some changes, but why can't he mess up the basics? You don't know that many students in our academy are clamoring to drop out and go back to work as masons, blacksmiths or farmers? "

"Nonsense!" Lao Shanchang dropped the teacup in his hand, "This is self-indulgence! Instead of reading a good book, I want to do that humble job."

The inspector held the hand of the head of the mountain, tears filled his eyes: "Now you and I are still of the same mind, I can see it clearly, but those young people... Oh, brother, you should pack your luggage too, make plans early, our academy I'm afraid it won't work."

He took out a purse from his arms and pushed it in front of the head of the mountain.

The head of the mountain took a look, and saw a pile of golden light, which almost blinded his presbyopia.After understanding the inspector's plan, he hurriedly pushed back the purse, "What kind of person does my junior think of me? Take this money back, buy a few good horses, and prepare a few things that the teacher likes. Let's go to the capital together." .”

The inspector hypocritically refused for a while, but seeing that the headmaster was determined not to change, he agreed repeatedly.

After leaving the small courtyard, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

***

Half a month later, the two arrived in the capital and entered the gate of Tang Ge's hometown.When they knew that Mr. Tang had been dismissed from office, they were very disappointed and were about to leave sadly. When they learned the truth about their teacher's dismissal, they were very angry and encouraged Mr. Tang to resist together.

Old Tang Ge was a little dissatisfied at first, but after leaving the court, life has become much more relaxed and he is quite at ease.But for him, when he was young, he still had a bit of perseverance and passion. After he became a elder, he became cautious, for fear that if he made a mistake, someone would catch his little tail and hurt his family. After he was seventy years old, he became more cautious. Worried that the late festival will not be guaranteed.The official is getting bigger and bigger, but there are more and more fences in his heart, which bind his nature, and his true self is buried in his heart, making it difficult to see the light of day.

As time went by, he also forgot his original appearance.

Today, former students come to their door, hoping that I can support them to seek justice, but I am thinking about how to refuse, which is really disappointing.

The sense of shame resurfaced, the love and care for his former lover was rekindled, and the dissatisfaction with the emperor gradually fermented, and the humiliation he suffered from the late emperor fermented and swelled together.

When Tang Ge saw his vigorous grandson, he also felt a little jealous and dissatisfied.

But, what's wrong with the person on the dragon chair now?Can they hold them in their hands and force the emperor to make concessions, take back the previous will, reuse him, and not equate those humble earners with students who study?

The three discussed it painstakingly, but they couldn't find a way to refute the emperor.

At this time, a mysterious person sent them a handle on Tang Yi. .

After Liang Wangyou, the emperor sent his nephew to Xiangguo Temple to be a monk in order to ensure the stability of the throne.

What?Isn't the current royal family's connections withered?Before Liang Wang died, he never heard of any wife in the mansion who gave birth?

Although they were surprised in their hearts, this was the only chance after all, so the three went to Xiangguo Temple, and they really saw a little monk with very similar facial features to King Liang.

The emperor drove a child to the temple?This is the great crime of mutilating clan members.

The three of them were secretly happy, but they could be considered to have caught the emperor's pigtail and had a bargaining chip.

Up to this point, the three of them were just thinking of using a trick to force Tang Yi to make concessions, but they didn't expect the matter to develop out of control.

Although King Liang died, his power has not been eliminated.

Jiangnan is thousands of miles away from the capital, with mountains high and water far away, beyond the reach of the emperor, so naturally many people were missed.What's more, the south of the Yangtze River is the most prosperous, water transportation and salt tax are the economic lifeline of the imperial court, and these are also in the hands of the remaining party of Liang Wang.

Over there, the three people were asked to help the son of King Liang ascend the throne, avenge the old lord, donate it with millions of taels of silver, and promise the position of Marquis, which will not be replaced by hereditary.

This temptation was much greater than before, and the three of them fell in love almost immediately.But neither was a kid, nor was he carried away by empty promises.

The three refused and said: "Your Excellency, you have found the wrong person. We have never had any disobedience towards the Emperor. Although the Emperor is young and impulsive, he is a wise king after all. We will do our best to help you. Your Excellency is the same for the King of Liang." For the sake of loyalty, I will not report on your Excellency, you should leave quickly."

The other party smiled coldly, and sneered: "Hahaha, beasts in clothes, gentle scum, I'm talking about you sour talents. Assist Mingjun? Just because the three of you were kicked to the side, you can't even touch the corner of the emperor's clothes." What else are you dreaming about?"

Elder Tang Ge claimed to be a veteran of the three dynasties and a loyal minister through the ages, how could he stand up to such slander, and he was about to drive away people with a crutch in his hand.

The man only said a word, and told him to stop his movements.

"Is there more than one person who can be the emperor? Mr. Ge, do you like a wild cat who likes to scratch people or an obedient little milk cat?"

When the man saw him stop, he fanned the flames even more.

"Your Highness is only eight years old, and he grew up in a temple. He has a weak temperament, and he will have to listen to you when the time comes. You want to raise him to be what you want. Isn't it better than you pruning potted plants in the garden?" Is it more interesting?"

"He is your master, why do you..." Tang Ge had never seen such a subordinate, cruel and ruthless.

The man hid under the shade of a tree, the night was dark, he couldn't see his face clearly, he could only hear voices, like a ghost.

"I only have one master, and that is King Liang. If it weren't for the usefulness of keeping the young highness, I would have let him go down to accompany the master."

The sound was more bone-piercing than the well water for nine days, and it was a bit gloomy.

The three shivered and shivered.
