Chapter 323： Master and Apprentice Gap

"Weichen is terrified, weichen dare not wait!" Many officials knelt down again, and they all said they did not dare, and their tone was full of panic.

His Royal Highness King Qin was truly extraordinary and imperial. Guo Song was originally trying to prove his innocence. He didn't expect King Qin to have a few easy words, which made him fall into a predicament and embarrassed Jiangnan hundreds of officials.

"You are waiting in Jiangnan, but Jiangnan is still the Jiangnan of the imperial court. If I don't say anything else, just say that this time in Qiuwei, Jiangnan has no flaws, no problems, no fraud?

Is it true that the historians of my Dakang dynasty were trying to catch the wind and spread rumors? You wait for all the officials to be there today, who dares to stand up and guarantee that there is nothing wrong with the scientific examination? "

King Qin was right and unforgiving. The many officials at the scene were silent. Who knew what was going on in the scientific research?

There is no such thing as absolutely fair in the world. Even if the rules of scientific research are strict, there will always be fish that slip through the net. Coupled with the gathering of powerful and powerful people in Jinling, the various forces are intertwined, and every township test will always involve a game between the various forces, and there are naturally some elusive transactions behind the game.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to stand up and guarantee that this year's Qiuwei is really innocent and flawless? King Qin was wise and sharp, and he asked the entire Jiangnan officialdom in one sentence.

Guo Song also paid the price for his recklessness, and was speechless on the spot.

Since the first emperor moved the capital to Beijing, the relationship between Jinling and the capital and the imperial court has been very delicate. Jiangnan powers were suppressed, and Jiangnan has actually become an area controlled by the royal family.

The imperial power of the Dakang Dynasty reached its peak in Jiangnan, and officials at all levels in Jiangnan, regardless of faction, were, in the final analysis, the emperor’s slaves.

The king wants his minister to die, the minister has to die, the king says the minister is guilty, and the minister is not guilty and guilty. Although King Qin was not Emperor Xinde, he was his favorite son, and he was one of the contenders for the throne. Such an identity made Jiangnan officials who were accustomed to the status of royal slaves timid from the heart.

"Where is Lord Song Liansong, Zuodu Yushi of the Imperial Court?" Qin Wang said.

Among the hundreds of officials, a gray-haired and fat old man walked out of the crowd in a proper manner, and said, "Weird officials are here!"

"Guo Weiqing, the official secretary, where is Lord Guo?"

Among the hundred officials, the official secretary Guo Weiqing went out to salute and said: "We are here!"

"Where is Lord Zhan Tianqi, Governor of Zhili Province?"

Zhan Tianqi went out to salute and said: "Weichen is here!"

King Qin said: "Scientific examination is the foundation of the Dakang Dynasty. Jiangnan Enke is a special gift from the father to Jiangnan students. Now, it is because the imperial history has given the court Shangzhezi to denounce the chaos in the scientific examination and accuse the examination room of private fraud.

According to what I heard, some students have spontaneously organized a redress group to enter Beijing. The court has received a joint testimony from 128 students. The Jiangnan scientific expedition has many disadvantages. This king should have to conduct a thorough investigation himself. In the body, I dare not resist the will.

Now I ask Master Song, Master Guo, and Master Zhan to investigate the case together. All three of you are courtiers of the emperor's favor. They are all ministers of the humerus in the heart of the father. I hope that this matter will be yours. Under the investigation, there will be a good result, and it will return the Jiangnan science field to a bright future, and give the Jiangnan students a fair and just! "

When King Qin said nothing, Song, Guo and the others immediately took the order, and many officials at the scene were dumbfounded.

King Qin is well versed in Jiangnan officialdom and knows how to proceed. Where is the lid of the Jiangnan scientific expedition so easy to expose? He didn't do it himself, let Jiangnan's faction restrain each other's faction. To put it more bluntly, he would let Jiangnan dog bite the dog.

In the emperor's mind, there is a balance technique. He sits in the middle, stirs the snipe and the clam to fight, and then sits and reaps the profit. Master Song Lian was an official in Beijing who reportedly told the elders. The official voice was very loud. Zhan Tianqi was the prince's person, and Guo Weiqing was Dai Xiang's protégé. The three-person thorough investigation team happened to exclude the Jiangnan power sect.

King Qin dug a hole for Jiangnan when he underestimated it, and provided outsiders such as the prince and Dai Xiang with a chance to attack the Jiangnan powerhouse. No one of the hundred officials present was a fool. Everyone could understand that this matter might be involved. The people and things that arrived were shocked by King Qin for a while, and he dared not speak.

King Qin seemed very satisfied with the performance of the people at the scene, and said lightly: "Okay, everyone is gone! This time I am here to supervise military affairs by the emperor's order, Master Zhan, we will go to inspect the Nanfu army together later!"

Inspecting military affairs was King Qin’s errand, and now the Nanfu Army was not stationed in Yingtian, so King Qin didn’t even need to go to Yingtian. Of course, Ying Tian has His Royal Highness Pu Wang, and Pu Wang is the emperor of Qin King. When he arrives in Jiangnan, he cannot be rude and not see King Pu.

However, no one at the scene knew when he would go and how to meet King Pu. Guo Song led a group of scientific expedition officials to leave the field sadly, and what awaited them was a harsh and thorough investigation, and Jiangnan Qiuwei was also overwhelmed by it.

...

When Baiguan picked up, Jiangnan was nervous, and Lu Zheng also returned to Liuhe.

According to the instructions of the old man and Lu Qian, Lu Zheng needs to live in Jiangning for a few more days. However, at this moment, news came from Nie Yong that he was going to Beijing soon.

Lu Zheng worshipped three teachers from Yangzhou to Jinling. Master Yan suddenly left and disappeared. Master Luo Guancai and Master Luo went to the capital, and then went to Henan to fill the vacancy as an official. Now Nie Yong is going to the capital again. Lu Zheng's heart Very reluctant.

In addition to reluctance, Lu Zheng was more worried. He was worried that after Nie Yong arrived in the capital, it would be difficult to gain a foothold. I am even more worried that the master and apprentice will one day turn against each other because of their political disagreements and different positions.

Because of Nie Yong's affairs, Lu Zheng reported to Lu Qian that he was not hindered much. In fact, Lu Qian couldn't wait to hope that Nie Yong would leave as soon as possible. He wanted to make up for Liuhe's lack!

In Liuhe County, the backyard was very deserted, and the master’s heart was no longer there. The vegetation in the yard was full of bleakness. Master Liang Chu wore a crimson robe, and saw Lu Zheng’s smile immediately appeared on his face:

"Brother Zheng is here well, the master has just sent away the guests, and he is drinking tea in the study!"

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Thank you Mr. Liang, everything is okay, teacher?"

"Okay, okay! The ship has been contacted, and the directly arranged trough ship will wait for the court's will, and then it can go!" Liang Chuan and Lu Zheng said this, suddenly looked outside and said loudly: "Look, good! Well, don’t under-collect your favorite things. It’s an orchid worth a hundred taels of silver. If you break it, you won’t be able to pay for it!"

Liang Chang walked out quickly and told the servants who were packing their luggage. Lu Zheng paused, and he saw a lot of things stacked on the outside of the backyard.

These are all Nie Yong’s luggage. The wall on the left is full of calligraphy, paintings, jade, and stationery. Next to a large car are literati elegant objects such as potted plants and bluegrass. There are also two large boxes. The gold, silver and jadeware, the finest rouge jewelry, it is said that someone in Nieyong, Henan, said another marriage, the woman and him went to the capital to meet, I want to come these things for the future wife.

Seeing so many things, at the beginning, it was considered that a special ship was enough. Lu Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart that someone said that for three years to clear the prefect, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver. Nie Yong has only been in the county magistrate in Liuhe for two years, and his family business has already attracted many people's attention.

What I see right now are only some items, all worth at least fifty thousand taels of silver, and there are also soft bank notes, which are estimated to be no less than tens of thousands of taels.

Lu Zheng’s arrival in Liuhe brought earth-shaking changes to Liuhe, but Nie Yong got huge benefits from this. Nie Yong was originally a gentleman who abides by Confucianism and Taoism, but after all he was saddened by fame and fortune. Only two years ago, his temperament and temperament It was different before.

Lu Zheng walked to Nie Yong’s study in a complex mood. Just as he entered the yard where the study was located, he heard Nie Yong say: "Brother Zheng is here? Come, come and enjoy the tea. This is Yuqian tea from Fujian, Master Zhan. The best bite, I can’t help but taste it before I can give it to him.”

Nie Yong set up a tea set in the yard, the fragrance of tea lingered, accompanied by Mei Ji. Looking at his clothes, he is dressed in Ling Luo, with an elegant posture, and an extravagant atmosphere between talking and laughing.

Lu Zheng respectfully stepped forward and said: "Master Nie, I learned that Master Nie will return to the capital in the near future. Today I will send him off. Master Nie, the capital is no better than the south of the Yangtze River. You must be cautious when you arrive in the capital. Don't... …"

"Well, brother Zheng, mine is that you don't have to worry about it, and the prince will arrange it for me properly. But I am very worried about your affairs!

I think your behavior in Jiangnan is too utilitarian. Jiangnan power has already declined, but relying on Jiangnan's business to support it hard, you are talented, you should abandon the current unfavorable situation as soon as possible and go on the right path. "

Nie Yong paused and continued: "The prince is the prince of the Dakang Dynasty, the prince! Now when the prince is really thirsty for talents, Lu Zheng, let alone being a teacher and not speaking for you, being a teacher is the most important to you. , If you do not grasp the opportunity at this time, I am afraid there will be no chance in the future!"

Lu Zheng sighed secretly in his heart, but said calmly on his face: "Master Nie, you are a scholar of the first class list, and the emperor has appointed a high-ranking talent to the Imperial Academy. Although the students are well-known in the south of the Yangtze River, they are just talents after all.

As the saying goes, learning civil and martial arts is sold in the emperor's house. Students who are young now and are not in the weakest position, should concentrate on their studies as the first priority. To get involved in officialdom too early would be disadvantageous! "

Nie Yong frowned slightly, he stopped talking, his expression looked rather unpleasant. Zhan Tianqi valued Lu Zheng very much and hoped that Nie Yong could draw Lu Zheng into the Prince's line.

Nie Yong had just worshipped the prince's door, and it was just when he wanted credit, but Lu Zheng refused to follow him, and his heart was naturally unhappy.

However, what Lu Zheng said is irrefutable. At the moment, Lu Zheng is only more than a dozen years old. He just took part in the rural examination and stood in line too early. It seems a bit unjustifiable.

But Lu Zheng is not an ordinary person after all. Nie Yongneng's achievements today are closely related to Lu Zheng's, but in terms of Nie Yong's character, he is no longer willing to mention this!
