Chapter 662 Fang Yizhi's big words

Qian Qianyi got angry and turned around and left the governor's office.

Although he was an imperial envoy, he had no real power. In addition to forcing Huang Liji and others to do things, he also had to prepare for the spring examination in Jiangnan.

Since Chongzhen, there has been only one imperial examination in total, and this time it was the second time. The first time was over for various reasons, and it has no practical effect. But this time it is different. This is the first time since the "Jingzheng New Policy", from the cabinet to the six ministries, and then to the local governments, they all pay great attention to it.

To a certain extent, the Ming Dynasty court had already experienced a gap in officials and urgently needed to cultivate young talents.

The examiner is a special position. The specialty is that any scholar who passes the exam or fails this time will be the examiner's student, and he is called the "senior master". In the future, he will definitely be a big force!

Although "forming a clan" is a taboo now, some things cannot be avoided. People from fellow villagers and classmates will naturally join in, let alone this kind of "teacher" who is second only to "kind".

Qian Qianyi is also an ambitious person. In addition, he is inconsistent with Wen Tiren in the capital, and hopes to discover pillars, recommend talents to the court, and lay the foundation for entering the cabinet.

Qian Qianyi left, leaving Huang Liji and Fang Kongxu behind.

Huang Liji sat in the main seat, looking indifferent, but was thinking about Qian Qianyi's words in his heart.

Qian Qianyi's words were very heavy, not deliberately scaring him.

The emperor's fleet has now gone to He. South and will come to Yingtian Mansion at most half a month. The emperor is very disgusted with the "style of visiting prostitutes". The court has repeatedly issued strict regulations. If he sees the prosperity and excitement of the Qinhuai River, he doesn't know what he would feel. At least... he, as a governor, is probably unable to sit steadily.

However, not long after he came to Yingtian Mansion, everything had not been straightened out. The people lingering on the Qinhuai River were not ordinary people, and the relationship was complicated and intricate, so they could not be moved lightly.

Huang Liji was extremely happy that Su Ren Governor Su was in a prosperous and prosperous state, and he should have been free and easy painting. But now he found that he was trapped in a quagmire and struggled, and the emperor was still eyeing him and was about to arrive.

Huang Liji is a person without great courage. He has always been good at both parties and is cautious. This matter is complicated and changeable and has a heavy responsibility. He can't bear it. He pondered for a while and looked up at Fang Kongzhao and said, "Mr. Fang, what do you think my governor's yamen should do?"

Fang Kongzhang was calm and raised his hand and said, "Sir, Nanzhili has been in a state of decay for a long time. The officials and scholars all day long are addicted to wine and sex, indulged in love and wantonness, and they all night long, with a low will and losing their progress. They really need to start rectifying, and the officials have no objection."

Huang Liji's expression remained unchanged, and he was silent for a while, and then said, "Xu Jie is about to be transferred to the left political party. What do you think?"

Xu Jie is the Secretary of the Cabinet and has an extraordinary relationship with the auxiliary minister of the Cabinet. There is nothing to say about his transfer to a province to participate in politics, but at this time the political situation is sensitive and any movement is difficult to consider, let alone a person from the center.

Fang Kongzhang was a right-sponsor to politics, but it didn't matter. He looked square and said directly: "Sir, it's not time to go. Nan Zhili must be refreshed before Lord Xu takes office. If Lord Xu sees that the Qinhuai River is still full of paintings and teaching sites, and the elegance is still unabated, he may not report it to the cabinet. If we pursue it, we may not be able to bear it."

Huang Liji naturally knew that he had to strictly enforce the rules of the court, and he was afraid that the entire Nanzhili, namely Jiang and Su, would offend him completely.

This is not conducive to his foothold.

"What do you want to do?" Huang Liji said.

Fang Kongxu was determined to act. Although he knew that Huang Liji wanted to shirk responsibility, he couldn't help but continue: "Sir, the governor's yamen suggested that the governor's yamen immediately issue an order to strictly implement the 'nine regulations' of the court, and at the same time clean up the brothels in the Qinhuai River and the entire Yingtian Mansion. Let's start with this year's exam candidates. Anyone who still enters and leaves the brothels will be disqualified from the imperial examination, fines will be sentenced to severely punished!"

Huang Liji's expression changed slightly and said, "First, the imperial examination scholars?"

The imperial examination is extremely important at this time and is better than the life of scholars. This is indeed a very deterrent method, but it will also offend many people. There are too many large clans and aristocratic clans in Jiangnan. If you take a little turn, you will involve the ministers of the court and the opposition, which may cause a huge shock!

Huang Liji wanted to be a stable official and did not want to get into trouble or cause trouble.

Fang Kongxi raised his hand and said calmly: "Sir, there is no time anymore. If you don't clean up, you can only wait for the emperor to come."

When Huang Liji mentioned the word "Emperor", he was shocked. He had been in the capital for many years, and had done all six ministries and Wen Zhao Pavilion officials, and knew the terror of the Emperor Jingyang Palace.

He gritted his teeth secretly and said, "Okay! I will order you to deal with it with it with all your power!"

"Sir, obey the order!"

Fang Kongxia raised his hand and looked solemn.

He had long wanted to rectify some unhealthy trends in Jiang and Su, but Huang Liji was unstable and it was difficult to do so. This time he had to wait for the opportunity.

Fang Kongzhao mobilized personnel and prepared notices at the same time. He drew nearly a hundred yamen runners from all over the place, looking like they were doing something big.

"Sir, do we really want to do this?" The assistant of the Criminal Prison Office looked at Fang Kongzhao and said with a serious expression.

Nanzhili is just a big dye vat, and no one is clean. If you attack others now, you may be stripped of everything in the next moment, and all the dirty things will be gone.

Fang Kongzhang had been patient for a long time and waved his hand and said, "Assuming orders, the rest will be borne by my own officials!"

The assistant of the Criminal Prison Office still hesitated, and then said for a while: "Sir, now the salt merchant is making trouble, we still have to divide some manpower to control..."

Fang Kongqi glanced at him, his expression remained unmoved, and he secretly decided to draw soldiers from elsewhere to fill the prison sentence. The people in Nanzhili fell too deep and could not be used at all.

"Other things are left for the time being. Check the Qinhuai River today. All the scholars under the age of 25 are arrested and no one is allowed to be exposed!" Fang Kongzhao said in a deep voice.

The assistant of the Criminal Prison Office hesitated, and raised his hand and said, "Abide by the order."

After saying that, he waved his hand and rushed towards the Qinhuai River on a large scale.

After Fang Kongzhao gave the order, he went back to his class room, took out a memorial and wrote it carefully.

This is a memorial to the cabinet, detailing the situation in Nanzhili, and it is not to hide the fact that Huang Liji's "stable" attitude.

When Fang Kongxu was writing the memoir, the "game" between Zhu Xu and Fang Yizhi, Liu Defeng and Miss Li seemed a little awkward.

Miss Li could feel that this famous Mr. Zhu didn't seem to care about her so much. Instead, she talked a lot with Mr. Fang, which made her unable to interfere.

Liu Defeng also noticed that some people were depressed by the cold tea, but they knew that they needed to hold on to "Zhu Youjiu". Naturally, they had to agree with his actions from time to time.

Fang Yizhi was not stupid, and soon felt that Mr. Zhu was extremely concerned about Fushe. He couldn't help but feel alert and began to restrain the topic and answered plausiblely.

Zhu Xu was even more sensitive. Fang Yizhi locked the verbal chore and knew that it was impossible to get more. He held the wine glass with one hand and began to speak less.

Therefore, the "game" that should have been lively and fragrant gradually could not continue.

Zhu Xu held the wine glass and turned his mind to this year's imperial examination.

In accordance with the "Nine Articles" and other cooperative court regulations, those who stay in prostitutes and visit prostitutes cannot be admitted to the imperial examination and enter the officialdom, and those who are in the court must be dismissed.

However, it is obviously not feasible in Nanzhili, because "the law does not punish the public", "clean yourself" or the old habits are difficult to change, so there are not many people who take the laws of the court seriously.

But if there is no reaction, the court's regulations will become nothing.

The situation in Nanzhili is more complicated than Zhu Xu expected. Relying on the power of the local government is not enough, so he still needs to intervene.

Now that the East Factory has been laid off, the six doors cannot be given heavy responsibilities, I can't help but think of Gong Dingzi, this person may be useful.

Zhu Xu was in a daze, and Miss Li suddenly looked at Zhu Xu with a wavy look and said softly: "Young Master Zhu, what do you think of the 'Jing Zheng New Policy'?"

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, the crossing was a bit big. He turned his head and looked at Fang Yizhi. Seeing his eyes dodging, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Naturally support it. No matter from any aspect, there is no reason to object, right?"

Fang Yizhi's face suddenly turned cold and said with a gloomy voice, "Brother Zhu's words are absurd! Since he ascended the throne, he has been ruthless and massacred our scholars, trying to cut off our foundation. Why is there no reason to object? Could it be that the blood of the sage Donglin has not dried up, and we will crawl on the ground and be the villain on both ends of the snake and rat!"

Zhu Xu's expression moved. This party's wise position was completely from Donglin, or from the perspective of the southern scholars, and did not consider the court at all, had no overall view of the situation, and was not at all standing at all.

"How do you think of the court's 'Nine Regulations', 'Scholars are forbidden to visit prostitutes, stay in prostitutes, and marry lowly'?" Zhu Xu said leisurely.

I thought it would be stumped by Fang Yizhi, but he didn't expect him to blurt out and sneered: "Since ancient times, all the romantic and famous scholars have interacted with famous prostitutes, and many articles from the past have been published! What's more, the brothel was produced by the saint's Guanzi, and we are not here for vulgar things, so how can we generalize it!"

Zhu Xu opened his mouth, feeling a little confused.

What Fang Yizhi said is really irrefutable, because they are reasonable and well-founded from beginning to end, and the "prostitute visit" is not vulgar, but on the contrary, it is very elegant, how can it be banned?

Fang Yizhi looked at Zhu Xu unable to speak and said coldly: "Brother Zhu, Jiangnan is not the north. You have to be very careful when speaking here. It's okay for me to say it. If it were someone else, it would be less easy to talk."

Zhu Xu smiled slightly with a slight smile and said, "Oh, what will happen to others?"

Fang Yizhi's eyes were too long and said, "If you want to beat me up, you will be more severe... Don't talk about you, even your brother will not have a place to stand in Jiangnan!"

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile in an unbelieving tone, "The atmosphere in Jiangnan is really like this? Can you join forces to isolate the imperial court and order officials? So bold?"

Fang Yizhi laughed at her, drank a glass of wine, and said, "What is the small participation in politics? Even if it is a governor!"

When Liu Defeng saw the smell of gunpowder between the two, he hurriedly said, "Oh, the two brothers have said it. Today, I will only talk about the wind and the moon and not the other. Miss Li, play a song quickly and let us ordinary people clean up the vulgarity..."

While Liu Defeng was speaking, the officers of the Governor Su Governor's Office were searching the Qinhuai River from house to house. All young people, whether they were scholars or not, were arrested.
