My country, you can pinch it

Shang Jinling and the others finished their meal as soon as possible, and rushed to the magistrate's yamen.

At this moment, the yamen is open, and you can enter all the way.

No matter how strong Liang Chengye's backer is, since the people rioted and the Supreme Heaven listened, the first thing Yang Shenxing did as an imperial envoy was to arrest this person pending trial, so Yunzhou is now in charge of him.

The front of the yamen is full of Confucian shirts and scholar robes, waiting outside in twos and threes, talking together, and looking up from time to time, with no anxiety on their faces, obviously this is not the first time.

According to the innkeeper, this has been the case for the past few days.

Seeing Shang Jinling and his group of dozens of people approaching, these Confucian scholars looked at them curiously. However, they were not looking at Shang Jinling and other scholars, but they were wearing ponytails, wearing strong clothes, and a knife hidden on their waists. They looked pretty. But sharp, at first glance, they are not the twins of ordinary women in the boudoir, and the accompanying guards.

Ordinary scholars, even the scholars from the nearby counties who came to take the exam, did not bring so many guards with them, so they couldn't help guessing their origins, but because they didn't know each other, they were waiting here, so they were suspicious, and no one caused trouble. Come forward to ask.

This quiet scene is quite surprising.

"I thought it was in front of the yamen, writing a call to arms and protesting passionately." One of them whispered.

Qin Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's not like I'm not prepared, but Mr. Yang hasn't given an answer yet, so there's no need to be so fierce. Presumably, someone in charge is discussing with Mr. Yang inside right now."

"It should be so, so others are waiting outside to cheer."

"Hey, why are those people's clothes and hats the same?" Shang Xiaowu pointed to the people in blue shirts and blue crowns.

"This should belong to Yushan Academy, right?" Shang Jinling said.

The scholar who had come to Yunzhou several times to catch the exam affirmed, "That's right, these are all students from Yushan Academy."

"I've never seen so many scholars! In Yongliang, there are not even decent academies, and there are only a few of us after the exam." Just passed the county exam, and came to Yun for the first time like Shang Jinling Candidates from the state exclaimed.

"Yushan Academy has hundreds of students and more than a dozen masters. There are many successful candidates, even Jinshi has produced several. There are even many people from the capital who came here to study for Yushan Laymen."

"That's really amazing." The examinee from Yongliang said in shock, "If it weren't for the new law in our place to deal with the chief executive, I'm afraid it would be difficult to find a single person."

The voice was a bit loud, and soon there were giggles from around. Those Confucian scholars couldn't help but look at them with a hint of surprise and mockery, so they came from Yongliang.

"I didn't expect people from Yongliang to take the exam."

"Anyway, I fail every time, what difference does it make if I take the exam or not?"

"Yeah, I still want to pass the exam, thank God if I can pass the exam, the ancestral grave is full of smoke."

"It's still such a big battle, are you here to write articles or fight?"

"It really is a barbarian from a barbaric place."

……

There is regional discrimination everywhere. People in Kyoto look down on places, rich and rich states look down on impoverished counties, and the Central Plains also despise Yongliang, which is almost outside the customs and lives with barbarians. What can we learn from there? Meng?

As a matter of fact, because Yongliang doesn't have good teachers, relying on only a few sporadic old scholars to teach, if it is not for their outstanding talents, no matter how hard they work, they will not be able to pass the test of Yunzhou people.Therefore, many scholars who have confidence in themselves have left their hometowns to study abroad.

And these words also made the candidates of Yongliang feel ashamed. Some of them had passed the exam for several years, and even stood up and became mature faces, so they didn't dare to look at them.

At this time, a sneer suddenly sounded, "What's the matter, this Yunzhou has issued an official document, and Yongliang is not allowed to take the exam? Otherwise, it's none of your business whether you come or not!"

"If you have time to look down on people, why don't you go back and read two more books to find out what is meant by nonsense! I'm afraid that if you get this question, you will cry out on the spot and scare the examiner. It's embarrassing!" The twins recently studied the Analects of Confucius with Shang Jinling , I finally got the chance to use it.

Their voices were clear and loud, they were confident and arrogant, and they didn't even have to blurt out what they said, and their sharp eyes looked over with impoliteness, staring directly at the ones who were the most powerful.

These people immediately flushed with anger, looked at them, raised their hands and said angrily, "You guys... come here with a woman, it's a disgrace to the gentleman!"

"In the borderlands, you really don't know etiquette! I don't have the same knowledge as you!"

In the past, there were so many of them that bullying Yongliang candidates would not dare to speak back even if they heard about it. Unexpectedly, this time, the two women turned back directly, saying bad things about people, putting the wrongdoing in front of them, but just for the sake of face. That's all for respect.

When Shang Jinling heard this, he was about to stand up, but he just moved, and the twins waved their hands and pushed him back. They are experts in quarreling.

"What's wrong with women, why women can't come, and it's insulting, do you look like a gentleman?"

"The tongue is so long, no wonder you are still here to take the exam for talent at such an age! See if you can spend all your time studying with gossip women on the street learning how to speak?"

"You..." The man was so angry that he stretched out his finger and pointed at the twins, "Use your words out of reason!"

"Hey, if you can't say it, you can't make it up. What are you, put your finger down for grandma, and then point it, be careful not to even try to take the pen!"

The female from the Shang family was tall and had long legs. The twins stood forward, and as soon as they let go of their aura, they couldn't help but backed away in fright.

Yong Liang's examinee: "..." I have learned a lot.

Qin Yue and Zhang Zhigao couldn't help looking at Shang Jinling, "Mr. Shang, sister Ling is so amazing."

"That's right, not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, but he also speaks so sharply."

Shang Jinling smiled modestly: "Where, where, my sister and the others are very kind, and generally don't care about people."

Everyone: "..."

"Haha..." The scholars around laughed out loud when they heard this, and it was interesting to swear without profanity.

"But the yamen is an important place, if you do it, it won't be good?" the scholar next to him carefully persuaded.

Shang Jinling comforted: "Don't worry, my sister is just scaring them. The Shang family's family training is not to do anything to the common people."

However, just scaring them was enough to scare them. Those pale-faced people didn't dare to speak at all, for fear that their fingers would be twisted.

Seeing this, the twins sneered, "Go back and read some more sage books, at least you should understand the principles of life first." Then they came back.

"Well said!" At this time, three people came out from the main room, all dressed in Yushan Academy blouses, the leading one had more complicated patterns on his clothes, and of course he was older, resembling a master.

"Master Hua." Sure enough, the scholars around him saluted him one after another, even those who were not from the academy, which showed that his prestige among the scholars in Yunzhou was not low.

"The sages set up imperial examinations to facilitate the selection of talents from all over the world. All the people of Dashun can be promoted through this. Except for the difference in talent, there is no such thing as superiority or inferiority of region. Such discriminators have narrowed their horizons and lost their demeanor. If you want to go to high school, it will be difficult." This Mr. Hua shouted to the surrounding scholars, his eyes were quite serious.

Everyone thanked again, "Students are taught."

But the first few scholars who discriminated against them blushed like blood, and dared not speak in silence. Obviously no one would pay any attention to them, but felt ashamed and left on their own.

A young scholar beside Shang Jinling stepped forward and saluted, "Master Hua."

Master Hua couldn't help laughing when he saw him: "Little friend Shen, I wonder how your grandmother is doing?"

Shen Shusheng was surprised: "Master Hua still remembers the students?"

"Two years ago, I asked you if you would study with me. You said that there was only one grandmother in the family, and she couldn't bear to leave."

Shen Shusheng said: "Thank you Master Hua for remembering, the student is ashamed, grandma's health is no longer serious."

"Okay, a filial person, God favors you, I wish you high school for this exam."

"Thank you Mrs. Hua."

As he said that, Master Hua's eyes fell on the people behind him, especially the twins, with doubts in their eyes.

Shen Shusheng quickly introduced: "Master, these two are Miss Shang from the Xiling Duke's Mansion, who accompanied Master Shang to Yunzhou to take the college examination, and the guard behind him is His Highness King Ning, who is afraid that we candidates will encounter difficulties due to the long journey. So send them to accompany you for protection."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone around was extremely surprised.

"His Royal Highness King Ning?"

"Is that the Seventh Prince who was demoted to Yongliang?" Someone couldn't help asking.

Shen Shusheng smiled and said, "Exactly."

"King Ning will send guards to protect the children's exams?"

The courtyard examination is called a quiz, which is the first step of the imperial examination, and before they passed it, they were just white bodies, no doubt like ordinary people, it was inconceivable that King Ning made such a big move just to protect them.

Hearing this, the Yongliang candidates subconsciously raised their chests and proudly said: "Although Yongliang is located in the border area, there are few scholars, but since His Royal Highness King Ning arrived in Yongliang, he has opened a school and attaches great importance to reading. All the preferential treatment is to hope that we can Return to Yongliang to take up the teaching position."

"Our knowledge is actually lacking, but His Highness needs it, so it is our duty."

"Exactly, I believe that one day in the future, Yongliang will no longer be the barbaric place that people call it."

……

The Yongliang candidates talked to each other, obviously they didn't even have any fame, but their eyes were full of hope, as if they had already seen the scene of the Yongliang College opening together and the students like a cloud.

This confidence made everyone feel miraculous.

Shang Jinling smiled, and his heart was full of joy.

"I believe what I said, Lingling, will it really become like that?" Shang Xiaowu asked.

Shang Jinling nodded, "A prosperous and stable city will continue to attract people, and naturally it will also attract talents, giving birth to a prosperous culture. Yongliang does not lack this kind of soil."

The twins were dumbfounded, but judging by Shang Jinling's expression, they must be able to do it.

"That's really a good thing." Master Hua twirled his beard and smiled, but he didn't talk about it, so he didn't take it to heart, but set his eyes on Shang Jinling's third sibling.

Shang Jinling took a step forward and said with a smile: "My sister is the general who leads the army on the march, and she has no fear against the Xiongnu. This time, she was entrusted by His Royal Highness King Ning to protect us who are helpless. powerful scholar."

He explained that although the twins' cool but vulgar words were practiced in the match against the Huns, heroes, if not for the sake of King Ning, would not be overqualified.

In this way, those who were still skeptical immediately understood that they were indeed from Shang's family, who had been stationed at Shamenguan for decades, and the Hehe Army God in the Northwest!For a moment, I was in awe. Although I hadn't spoken before, the people who complained in my heart also accepted the contempt. The Shang family, even if they are not stationed at the Shamenguan now, they are still admired from the bottom of my heart.

It's just that there is no male in the Shang family, and the female relatives go to the battlefield, and the spirit of the twins is not weak, so who is Shang Jinling?

But it would be rude to ask such words, and I still remember Shang Xiaoshuang scolding just now.

"So that's how it is." Master Hua smiled, "You all just arrived in Yunzhou today, right?"

"Exactly. As soon as I settled down in the inn, I heard from the shopkeeper that all scholars in Yunzhou gathered in the magistrate's yamen to fight for a way out for the people of Yunzhou. Although we are not from Yunzhou, we are all Shun people when we heard about the chaos in Yunzhou. There is also a heart to come to help." Shang Jinling said, and the scholars who came from Yongliang all nodded in agreement.

At this time, all the talents turned their hopeful gazes on Mr. Hua and the three of them, and asked eagerly: "Since Mr. Hua has come out, what do you want to talk about with Mr. Yang?"

So many scholars gather here just to know the result.

"When will Mr. Yang kill these corrupt officials who sucked on the people's fat?"

Mr. Hua showed disbelief: "Your Majesty Yang wants to be escorted to Beijing for trial."

"After entering the capital, with the protection of King Duan, will Liang Chengye not be able to die?"

"Isn't Lord Yang the chief assistant of the cabinet, the imperial envoy? Don't you even have the power to execute corrupt officials on the spot?"

"Don't you want to cover them too?"

"What about the New Deal, when will the two poisonous laws, the seedling-stimulating law and the immunity law, be withdrawn?"

"Yes, if the dog officer didn't exploit the people in this name, why would there be turmoil in Yunzhou?"

"Even if Liang Chengye is killed, with this new law, there will be another dog official, endless!"

Asked one by one, they surrounded Master Hua and the others. Master Hua shook his head and sighed. When they saw his appearance, the scholars all knew that today they would return without success.

But it has been so many days in a row, and they are suffocating in their hearts.

"Everyone go back first, the college exam is only a few days away, don't make fun of your fame, let's finish the exam first." Master Hua persuaded.

"What else is there for the exam?" Suddenly someone shouted, "We study for the country and the people, if we don't get the results we want, so what if we pass the exam?"

"I will disdain to be in the court with an official who doesn't care about the life and death of the people like this!"

"Master Hua, what did the head of the mountain say? We simply sit here together and force Mr. Yang to give an explanation. If we come here again and again, we will only be dismissed at will!"

"Yes, we are not afraid!"

The sadness on Master Hua's face deepened, and he raised his hand and pressed it a few times before he calmed down the excited scholars around him and said: "Don't worry, everyone, I will ask the head of the mountain about this matter, and I will reply to you tomorrow. At that time, I will rely on you all." .”

"Okay, as long as Yushan Layman is useful to get our place, we are obliged to wait!"

"Thank you all!"

But Shang Jinling and his group had already been squeezed outside, and they were filled with mixed emotions when they heard the sound of passion.

Qin Yue said: "Actually, the New Deal is not guilty, it's just that it is not perfect and there are many omissions. If we can sit down and discuss in detail, discuss the appropriate method, it will not be like this."

Zhang Zhigao also said: "The old law and the old calendar and the people's burden are so heavy, blindly restoring the old system is not a good medicine, it is biased."

The Yongliang candidates who were with him also nodded.

They stood outside, they didn't get angry together, they seemed out of place, and after listening to this recitation, finally someone couldn't see it and sneered: "What are you talking about? It's a meager effort. Let's cheer together. It turns out that we just came to watch the excitement and make sarcastic remarks!"

"Being looked down upon by others is daring to speak up, and you really need to speak out, but you are a guest of reason!"

"Yushan layman led the academy to run for Yunzhou, and you have become biased in your mouth. It's unreasonable!"

"Could it be that Yongliang has also implemented the New Deal, reducing the burden on the people? Otherwise, what qualifications do you have to say such things?"

This sound of accusation made them excited, the scholars were passionate, and they could go forward bravely for their beliefs. They were a group of lovely people, but they were often impulsive.

Besieged like this?

Shang Jinling and the others felt a sense of irony.

The twins stepped forward to argue, but were pulled back by Shang Jinling.

This is not an insult, there is no need to argue, it is just a difference of position.

Shang Jinling took a step forward and said: "Everyone, Yongliang is not a barbaric state, and it is also a state of Dashun. Naturally, it is within the New Deal decree. Every decree promulgated by the imperial court is implemented by Yongliang. It is exactly the opposite of Yunzhou. , the common people rejoiced and spoke frankly about good strategies, are you trustworthy?"
