Chapter 441 Song Erlang Beating Incident

After every imperial examination, there are always people who are happy and others are sad.

However, the number of Jinshi this year is really less. The whole capital is full of gloomy candidates who failed the examination. There are also those Gongshi who failed to pass the palace examination. They regret why they don’t care more about farming in their daily life.

"Da Zhou Agricultural Science Essentials" was first compiled more than ten years ago by the previous assistant Song Jianming.

The emperor appreciates Song Cifu so much, and in the preface of "Equations, Functions and Linear Programming", what His Majesty wants to vigorously promote is "practical learning"!Practical learning is not only about mathematics, agriculture and mulberry are the foundation of the country, why didn't I expect that His Majesty would include this book in the scope of the imperial examination? !

Countless people looked at the Jinshi who wore flower crowns and paraded through the streets, and their hearts were full of remorse.

"See, this year's No. scholar is the black and thin boy riding a horse. His surname is Yang. It is said that his family is just a military household in Liaodong!"

"What did he write in that article? His Majesty appointed him the No. Scholar because of his good answers to agricultural questions."

"A man who is opportunistic! That is to say, when we meet this unscrupulous bastard..."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense! Be careful that the walls have ears!"

"Hmph! Anyway, that kid is just lucky, not worthy of the name!"

Song Chenxu took a break from his busy schedule today, and deliberately asked for leave to bring a few younger brothers from his family to Cyclamen to watch Jinshi parade.

Hearing the sour and stinky discussions next door to the teahouse, he couldn't bear it any longer. He got up and went out, kicked open the small wooden door of the private room next door, and said loudly, "Lucky? Can you hit one and let me see?"

Those next door who were talking about this year's new champion were taken aback. They raised their folding fans in a defensive posture and asked, "You... who are you? How dare you act wildly at the emperor's feet!"

"Who am I? Don't you know Second Master Song?"

When Song Chenxu saw these pale-skinned, hunchbacked, weak scholars, he felt very displeased.

The third sister is right, a man must have masculinity!Can't be like a white chicken.

Those who haven't realized who Second Master Song is, the main thing is that after Song Chenxu went to the Firearms Camp, he really became very low-key. These outsiders who just came to the capital didn't even know that he was the second son of His Highness the First Prince brother-in-law.

Among them, the man who was the tallest and dressed in fancy clothes stepped forward and sarcastically said: "I don't care what kind of second master you are, even if second master Guan is here, you can't play wild in front of me! Do you know who I am? Dare to come here to make a noise. The guy named Yang was lucky to get a top three based on his article. Who knows where he bought the topic in advance. A poor military household in Liaodong, it’s not good. Guarding at the border, why come to the capital to join in the fun. The capital can come to the capital? I just look down on... ah! You!"

Before the man finished speaking, Song Chenxu slapped him on the face.

"Military households are cheap? I think you are even cheaper!"

Snapped!
Another slap, slapping the boy's left and right cheeks symmetrically.

The scholar had obviously never been treated so brutally in his life.

The flesh on both cheeks was swollen high from the beating, and two bright red nosebleeds slowly flowed out from a pair of big and round nostrils. He looked at Song Chenxu, his eyes widened, but he did not disappoint Tears welled up.

Those behind him were too frightened to move.

Who is this vicious and strong man?terrible!

"Keep your mouth clean for grandpa in the future! Otherwise, grandpa will see you once in the future and beat you once! Bitch!"

Song Chenxu snorted, loosened the man's collar, and walked away.Old Si Chenrui, old Liu Chenxing, and old Xiao Chenhui hurriedly pulled the second brother out of his box.

"Second brother, don't be angry!"

"That's it!"

"A slut is not worthy of my second brother's anger."

Several younger brothers surrounded the elder brother, serving tea and fanning the wind.

Chen Rui, the fourth brother who had just returned home, seemed very uncomfortable with such a violent second brother, and secretly asked Chen Hui: "What's the matter with our second brother? Did you eat gunpowder in the firearms camp?"

The old eighth who was beaten up by the second brother said, "Second brother has always been like this."

Song Chenxu didn't go back to the barracks today, but first went to the Royal Printing Factory and told his father about the beating.

"Did you hit someone? Or did you hit someone at Cyclamen?" Song Jianming had a headache!

Jinshi is parading the streets today, there must be many people in Cyclamen!Which censor saw Erlang must be impeached.

"Why did you hit someone?" Song Jianming asked angrily.

"I can't listen to those few gongshi who failed to speak ill of this year's champion Yang and insulted military households..." Song Chenxu said quite confidently, "This kind of person deserves to be beaten! beat him!"

Lord Song took a deep breath, and said helplessly, "I learned this from whom. If you open your mouth, you will beat someone up. You are the clerk of the Firearms Battalion! You really think of yourself as a general!"

"Anyway, I just came here to vent my anger on you. If someone impeaches me, don't worry, let your mother rest assured, I'm fine." Song Chenxu looked indifferent.

Song Jianming waved his hand in annoyance, telling him to get out of here.

The next day, Erlang Song, Lu Cifu's prospective son-in-law was impeached for beating someone.

Fortunately, the emperor now does not allow the censors to go to court, but only allows them to hand over the papers.But unfortunately, the person Song Chenxu beat up was the nephew of Zuodu Yushi, the second in command of Yushitai, He Song, the youngest son of He Zhang, the governor of Hubei Province, and the most outstanding son of the He family.

He Song won the small three yuan when he was a scholar, and he also ranked among the best in the provincial examination.

Ran Shi, the wife of Mr. He, Chief Minister of Hubei Province, treasured his youngest son very much, and his uncle Zuodu Censor Ran Yinian also valued him very much.

If he hadn't failed in Mathematics at Enke last year, He Song would have passed the Jinshi long ago.

I studied mathematics hard for a year in the Academy of Sciences, and this time I finally got six points of 110 in the exam. However, I couldn't answer almost any of the agricultural questions in the palace exam, so I failed again!
The whole family felt that He Song was simply too unlucky!
Meeting such a new emperor who likes to make troubles is simply bad luck, and the talents are not met!

And his uncle, Zuodu Censor Ran Yinian has been troubled by the decline of Yushitai's prestige in the past two years. This Zuodu Censor Ran has long been displeased with the First Prince and his circle of close officials.

It was so easy to catch Song Erlang!
How can I let it go?

After lunch, Song Chenxu was called to Qinzheng Hall by the emperor, and when he turned his head, he saw Dr. Zuo Yushi from Yushitai kneeling in front of the emperor with his nephew, crying.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to be the master of this minister! Song Jiaerlang relied on himself as a relative of the emperor, arrogant and domineering, and beat people in the street! Your Majesty, look at how this nephew of my minister has been beaten like this! Your Majesty will do it for you!" The minister is in charge!"

"Ran Aiqing, please be safe! Didn't I bring Song Erlang here for questioning?" The emperor looked impatient, and when he saw Song Chenxu coming, he quickly hooked his hands, signaling him to come closer.

"Boy of the Song family, hurry up and tell me why you beat someone in the street?" The emperor was annoyed, this kind of trivial matter should be handled by the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, but he actually wanted to bother himself and take up his precious time!
Today he also wants to call this year's top three to have a good chat.

Song Chenxu was quite honest, walked up to Lord Yushi and knelt down with a plop, and said, "Your Majesty, it was this young master who spread rumors and insulted Yang Zhuangyuan first."

"Your Majesty, there are no grassroots!" He Song shouted injustice.

Song Chenxu said with a cold face: "This son spread rumors that Yang Zhuangyuan bought the test questions!"

"I'm afraid it's Mr. Song, you heard it wrong!" He Song straightened his back, looking like a man of literati, looked at Song Chenxu without fear and said: "It's just a rumor that the shopkeeper of an inn not far from the Gongyuan privately Li revealed to the candidates there that he had a brother who worked in the cabinet printing office, and that he could help them get the agricultural test questions."

The emperor immediately said: "I have sent Jin Yiwei to investigate this matter, and the relevant criminals have been caught before buying the test questions. There is no fraud in this scientific examination."

Ran Yinian and He Song were both taken aback. It turned out that His Majesty already knew about it and dealt with it quietly?

The emperor didn't bother to pay attention to the suing duo, and just wanted to solve this big thing quickly, so he continued to ask Song Chenxu: "Song Erlang, is there any reason for beating someone?"

Song Chenxu immediately said loudly: "Yes! This Mr. He also said that the military households are all untouchables and are not worthy of coming to the capital! I feel angry for the generals of the Zhou Dynasty who defended their homes and the country, so I took the initiative to teach a little lesson."

He Song said without anger: "Your Majesty, what I mean is that military households should stay in the frontier to protect their homes and the country. But Yang Zhuangyuan was greedy for life and afraid of death. After he was admitted to Juren, he tried to change his household registration for his family! Everyone at the border is like this, who in the future is willing to stay at the border to be loyal to His Majesty?!"

The emperor laughed, nodded to He Song and said affirmatively, "That's a good statement."

He Song was affirmed by the emperor, and he was overjoyed. Encouraged by his uncle, he continued to talk, and finally came to a conclusion: "Your Majesty, the grassroots think that military households should be prohibited from participating in the imperial examination, so as to prevent the people in the frontier from floating and restless everywhere!"

Gee!
Gee!

The emperor looked down at his clenched hand again, ah, suddenly he wanted to hit someone.

He looked at it with a smile that was not a smile: "He Song, do you know what kind of life the military households live?"

He Song didn't know why, looking at the emperor's calm and smiling face, he suddenly felt a little nervous.

The emperor sighed lightly, and asked again: "In your opinion, He Gongshi, are the military households at the border gates citizens of my Great Zhou?"

He Song nodded: "Naturally. Just because they are the people of my Great Zhou, they are obliged to guard the frontier and resist foreign enemies. They are loyal to the court and His Majesty!"

The emperor looked at Zuo Du Yushi: "What does Ran Aiqing think?"

Ran Yinian hesitated for two seconds, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Great Zhou, military households are not allowed to change their household registration without authorization, and are not allowed to leave the border unless they have made great contributions. Yang Zhuangyuan's family did not make any great contributions, only because he passed the Juren examination. , Changing the household registration is indeed a violation of the court's law."

The emperor sneered in his heart, suppressed his anger, smiled again, first looked at Song Chenxu and said: "As an official of the court, it is really wrong to beat up a famous scholar in the street! But the victim's injuries are relatively minor, and the circumstances are not serious. I will punish you." Cleaning the public huts on Yujie for two months, and punishing them with five boards, is not an example! Are you convinced?"

"I am willing to be punished." Song Chenxu smiled slightly and kowtowed to thank him.

Although Song Erlang was not able to be demoted to one level, he was still satisfied with such a result. He Song and Lord Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Just when they were about to say "Your Majesty is holy", the emperor suddenly changed the subject and looked at He Song.

"He Gongshi's loyal and patriotic heart and affection really moved me. Since you are already a candidate, it stands to reason that you can also be awarded an official. In this way, I will also give you a chance to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country."

He Gongshi was very surprised. This time, his uncle brought him into the palace to sue and impeach Song Erlang, just to make himself show his face in front of His Majesty, and give him a sense of presence. Unexpectedly, the emperor would appoint him an official! ?
He raised his head in great surprise and looked at the emperor with joy.

The emperor looked at him and smiled coldly: "From now on, go and replace brother Yang Zhuangyuan in Shenyang Zhongwei's small flag position, go to defend the family and the country, and be loyal to the king."

"Your Majesty!" Ran Yushi was shocked and cried out.

The emperor suddenly turned his head, stared at Ran Yinian with piercing eyes, and asked: "I was sent to Lingnan by the late emperor to guard one side. So, shouldn't I also come back to the capital? I was born to stay there forever yes, isn't it?"

The ninety-five supreme emperor suddenly exuded a frightening aura all over his body. Ran Yinian and He Song were so frightened that their hairs stood on end, and they lay on the ground trembling.

Eunuch Wang hurried over and reminded the emperor: "Your Majesty, calm down! Be careful that you will lose your temper!"

"He Song, go down, I hope you don't disappoint me!"

He Song's legs were limp and unable to move.

The emperor looked at Song Chenxu and waved: "Help him up, you can go out too."

Now there is only Ran Yinian left in the hall.

The emperor looked at him and smiled faintly: "Ran Aiqing, your nephew didn't tell you what he wrote during the scientific examination?"

Ran Yinian was shocked, but the emperor asked Wang Luen to find out the examination papers of He Song's palace examination and hand them to Lord Ran for a look.

When Ran Yinian looked at the test paper, his eyes turned dark.

The multiple-choice questions in front of his nephew were almost random, and only of the questions were correct. In the last question and answer question, he even wrote a doggerel, insinuating that the emperor wanted scholars to work in agriculture instead of reading sage books. Sang, the act of being an accountant is very absurd.He also satirizes mathematics as a strange skill and obscenity, which cannot be considered elegant.

No wonder the emperor remembered his nephew's name.

This bastard!

Now I want to ask for a favor for my nephew, but I can't.

On the other side, Song Chenxu was beaten so painlessly by the water-discharging five-board, that he went to the Yamen of Shuntian Prefecture to report the next day.

Now there is a special chief of the city health department in Shuntian government office, that is, the director of the capital health bureau.

Yesterday, I received a notice from the father-in-law of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, saying that the second brother-in-law of His Royal Highness was fined by the emperor to clean the public huts on the imperial street for two months because of beating people in public, and he was a little perceptive. Difficult to be human.

No, when Song Erlang first arrived, he was warmly received by Master Jia, the head of the City Guard Department.
