Chapter 171: Yan Mansion: Welcome (Subscription Request)
The candidates from all over the country who had already rushed to the capital started to cause trouble.
Such things immediately attracted the attention of Shuntian Prefecture and Bingmasi.
All the yamen runners and soldiers came out.
If ordinary people launched a protest in the capital, the people from the prefectures, counties and the military department could directly capture or drive them away.
But today is different.
The people who were making the riot were the successful candidates in the Ming Dynasty, the scholars in the world, and the two successful candidates who would be on the list of successful candidates in the next spring imperial examination and the palace examination.
then.
The people from Shuntian Prefecture, Daxing County, and Bingmasi, who were supposed to be driving away and arresting the criminals, instead became people who played a role similar to that of bodyguards.
I am afraid that these scholars might encounter any accidents on the road because of denouncing Lord Xiao Yan.
However, memorials from the yamen were sent to the court and the cabinet without stopping.
All the officials in Beijing put down what they were doing and began to cast their attention towards the residence of Lord Yan in the city.
Countless pieces of news are constantly circulating.
Xu Jie left the Ministry of Personnel after talking about the Andada tribe. Soon he met Gao Gong in front of the Daming Gate, who had also rushed out after receiving the news and was about to go to the Wenyuan Pavilion in the palace.
"Have you received the order?"
Xu Jie spoke first, his face looking very solemn.
Gao Gong's face was calm, he nodded and said: "Today's Xiyuan's holy intention... is a bit surprising."
Gao Gong said a word that Xu Jie did not expect.
Accident?
He didn't feel surprised or inappropriate.
Xu Jie's heart sank, and he said, "Now that the emperor has such an opinion, I'm afraid the students in Beijing Middle School will be dissatisfied."
He just finished speaking.
Then a large group of people came from the east of the city towards the west of Daming Gate.
Not long after.
The crowd arrived at Qipan Street in front of Daming Gate.
Xu Jie's originally solemn and gloomy expression suddenly relaxed.
However, after Gao Gong saw the dense crowd coming to the street to go to West City, he glanced at Xu Jie indifferently.
"Mr. Xu really got it right."
"I'm afraid these people are all candidates who have already rushed to the capital."
Gao Gong said something lightly, then folded his hands and stepped aside to the side of the road.
Not long after.
The entire street was occupied by students who were temporarily staying in the east of the city, and they were heading towards the west city in a mighty manner.
Yan Ge’s hometown is in Xicheng.
Not far from Xiyuan Xi'an Gate.
"Return to the pavilion!"
Xu Jie also stepped aside to the side of the road and spoke something.
Then he looked at Gao Gong and said, "Now that the students are taking to the streets, I'm afraid they are heading for Lord Yan's house. You and I should return to the palace quickly to calm things down."
Gao Gong was not in a hurry now. He turned around slowly and followed Xu Jie towards the Daming Gate.
He said, "The emperor's will is dictatorial, so we still need to ask the Imperial College to step in and persuade the students to disperse."
The Imperial Academy was responsible for managing the entire Ming Dynasty's education system and students all over the world.
It is only natural to let the Imperial College come forward.
Xu Jie did not stop walking, and looked back at Gao Gong: "This matter has its cause and effect. These students may not understand the emperor's will and rush to the home of Lord Yan. We should return to the palace quickly and hand this matter over to Lord Yan for handling."
After saying this, Xu Jie quickened his pace.
seem.
He really was thinking about Lord Yan.
Gao Gong followed behind, staring at Xu Jie's back with a playful look.
The news spread everywhere like snowflakes.
The Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.
The office of the Minister.
"what?"
"It's the other way around!"
Yan Shifan slammed the table with an angry look on his face and looked at the Yan family's attendant who came forward to deliver the news.
The attendant lowered his head and dared not speak.
Yan Shifan became furious and started yelling and cursing.
"These are a bunch of idiots!"
"Dare to denounce my Yan family?"
"Who gave them the courage?"
While cursing, Yan Shifan began to search the government office.
Not long after.
He found an iron ruler.
With the iron ruler in hand, Yan Shifan glared at his attendant.
"Follow me back home!"
The long-time attendant looked at the iron ruler in the young minister's hand and was completely confused.
This thing has always been a weapon equipped by yamen runners. It is not pointed or bladed, and has always been used to suppress and intimidate the people.
But he couldn't understand why there was such a thing in his own husband's house.
And outside Yanfu Lane in Xicheng District.
There was already a huge crowd of people.
The students and candidates who had come to Beijing and were temporarily staying in the West City rushed to the residence of the prime minister of the dynasty before other places in the city.
In front of the group of candidates from Nanzhili who went to Beijing to take the imperial examinations were Xu Shixing and Wang Xijue.
The two men looked tense, but they couldn't express their pain in their hearts.
There was a commotion all around, with countless people denouncing Yan Shaoting as the chief examiner of the next year's spring examination.
Xu Shixing looked at Wang Xijue with difficulty in his eyes.
Amid the noisy chaos around him, he whispered, "Brother Wang, do we really need to take the lead in this matter?"
Wang Xijue's face was tense, and he also whispered back, "His Majesty has ordered that Yan Shidu be the chief examiner for our Spring Examination. Brother Xu, do you think we can disobey the order?"
Xu Shixing looked uneasy and turned to look at the students behind him who were already very angry.
He gritted his teeth and said, "The emperor's mind is hard to predict, but even if Yan Shidu is an official in the court and is capable of doing things, he is still young after all. We were brought here by our classmates probably just to make Yan Shidu take the initiative to resign from His Majesty, so this cannot be considered as disobeying His Majesty's order."
Wang Xijue snorted twice.
He was not like the other students who were already completely angry about the selection of the chief examiner for the next year's spring examination.
Wang Xijue has been thinking about one thing all the time.
Why did the emperor abandon all the dignitaries in the court and countless senior imperial examination masters in the Hanlin Academy and only appoint Yan Shaoting as the chief examiner?
He glanced at Xu Shixing, who was also from Suzhou Prefecture.
Wang Xijue knew that this person actually did not have much objection to Yan Shaoting being the chief examiner of the next year's spring examination of Renxu.
If Yan Shaoting were allowed to serve as the examiner, that would be truly unacceptable.
In Wang Xijue's opinion, Xu Shixing was probably just because of Yan Shidu, whom they had never met before, who was too young and had no outstanding achievements.
That's why there is opposition.
Seeing that Wang Xijue didn't speak, Xu Shixing said anxiously, "Brother Wang, think about how to deal with it. The Nanzhili students nominated you and me as role models, and I'm afraid they also want you and me to speak up for the Nanzhili candidates who are going to Beijing to take the imperial examination this time."
Wang Xijue shook his head and said, "Now that all the students in Beijing have gotten up, the news must have reached the Yan Mansion long ago. Let's wait and see what Yan Shidu says when we get there." After saying that, Wang Xijue closed his mouth tightly with a frown.
Seeing that Wang was unwilling to talk anymore, Xu Shixing could only pound his palms anxiously.
But no matter what.
The huge crowd of students from various disciplines finally arrived at Yanfu Lane.
just.
The students who were originally so loud suddenly shut up.
There was confusion on everyone's face.
I saw it in the alley of Yanfu.
The lackey Yan Hu was standing at the entrance of the alley with servants and maids from the mansion, smiling.
I saw a large group of students coming.
Yan Hu was also so scared that he swallowed his saliva.
After a while.
He then spoke loudly.
"Welcome, all talented people!"
"My young master heard that you all are coming today. He regrets that the gate of Yan's mansion is closed and it is difficult for you all to enter. I have also arranged seats outside the gate of Yan's mansion according to my young master's instructions and have provided you with tea and fruits."
Xu Shixing, who was originally worried and was pushed to the front by his classmates, couldn't help but blink, then reached out and rubbed his eyes.
He looked at Wang Xijue beside him with surprise.
Then he looked towards Yanfu Lane in front of the Yan family’s house.
I saw that the entire alley, starting from both ends, was already filled with tables, desks and chairs.
Tea is prepared on the table, and fruits are placed on the plate.
even.
There were servants from the Yan family carrying things out of the Yan Mansion.
It seems that they are going to set up a tent outside to provide shade!
Xu Shixing withdrew his gaze and looked sideways at Wang Xijue beside him, his face full of doubt.
"Brother Wang, have we come to the wrong place?"
Wang Xijue was also very surprised at this moment.
How is this different from the Yan Party that is rumored to have great power in the government?
in his imagination.
When they arrived, the soldiers had probably already been deployed outside the gate of Yan's mansion, ready for battle.
but now.
All the servants and maids of the Yan family had smiles on their faces.
Don’t they know that they are here to cause trouble?
Just when Wang Xijue, Xu Shixing, and all the students and candidates who rushed to Yanfu Lane were surprised and puzzled.
Yan Hu continued to shout.
"Gentlemen, please walk slowly, don't push or trample others."
"My young master said that all of you are great talents of our dynasty and the backbone of the Ming Dynasty in the future. We must not neglect you or let you get hurt because of our Yan family's hasty preparations."
Xu Shixing, Wang Xijue and others looked at the Yan family's gate which was wide open but unguarded.
I became more and more confused.
Are the Yan family really not afraid of these people rushing in?
Yan Hu looked at the students who had rushed to Yanfu Lane, and just as the young master had said, they had calmed down.
He sneered in his heart.
His face was full of enthusiasm.
"Everyone has seen clearly, please sit down according to your province."
Xu Shixing rushed to Yan Hu.
His face was full of surprise and his eyes widened.
Yan Hu seemed to be startled.
"What's the matter, Mr. Scholar?"
Xu Shixing was completely confused at this moment, and shook his head fiercely: "Is this the Prime Minister Yan's Mansion?"
Yan Hu nodded, raised his head, and said proudly: "Is there another prime minister's family in the whole Beijing city?"
Xu Shixing shook his head repeatedly: "Don't you know what we are here for?"
Yan Hu wanted to start scolding, how could I not know that you bunch of sour scholars came to the Yan family to cause trouble.
But he kept Yan Shaoting's instructions in mind.
Yan Hu's face was full of smiles, and he asked back: "I don't know, my young master is not setting up the table, waiting for you to learn it, so as to find out the truth."
Xu Shixing wanted to say something else.
Yan Hu glanced around him and asked, "Which branch of the school are you studying? If you are from Northern Zhili or Southern Zhili, you should find it in front of my house. Don't make a mistake."
Looking at the Yan family servants with smiling faces.
Xu Shixing could only return to Wang Xijue with a look of surprise on his face, and began to be led by the servants of the Yan family towards the location of Nanzhili.
In the alley of Yanfu.
The originally large group of students began to noisily look for seats.
At this time, Yan Hu ran to the gate of the mansion again.
Standing next to the empty chair that had already been placed there.
He glanced at the chaotic crowd in front of the mansion and smiled slightly.
"You are all talented!"
"The Yan family has neglected you all, I hope you can forgive me."
"You are all candidates for the imperial examination. Please take your seats according to your positions."
"I am a scholar, please stand back."
"Please forgive me for my talents and understanding. I will bear with you."
After saying this, Yan Hu closed his mouth, stared at the crowd in front of the mansion, ready to respond at any time.
really.
The next second, it happened just as Yan Shaoting said.
Yan Hu saw a student rushing to the front.
“Why don’t we have seats?”
"Can't the Yan family prepare more tables and chairs?"
When one student spoke, more scholar students began to speak.
Some people even sat down at the prepared tables and chairs without caring about anything.
Yan Hu sneered in his heart.
This bunch of young people.
He waved his hands together, put them together, and held his head high.
"Everyone!"
"Please excuse me!"
"It's true that the entrance to my Yan Mansion is too narrow to accommodate more tables and chairs."
"But I, the Yan family, can't ask all the scholars present to stand, but instead ask all the scholars to sit, right?"
"Please everyone, stand back!"
