Chapter 262: A Farce (Part 2)
The fight at Guobin Tower soon spread to the Nanchang Prefecture Office. The new Nanchang Prefect Yu Jin was yelling a headache while sending someone to the scene to calm the incident.
The yamen runners sent out were very dedicated. After arriving at the scene, they not only held the fight, but also brought the fight back to the yamen.
Forty candidates with bruised noses and swollen faces and more than a dozen warriors with soup and scratches on their faces.
Poor, these scholars, who have grown up so old, have never even killed chickens, but have won the books. How could they be a group of bloody military opponents on the battlefield? Although the number of people is the best, they are still beaten up.
They should be glad that if these warriors wield swords, they would not be able to leave these scratches for the soldiers.
Yu Jin held his head and became much more annoyed.
The previous prefect of Nanchang was Chu Ji. After being transferred to the cabinet, the position of Nanchang prefect was vacant. Yu Jin took advantage of his youth and was transferred back to serve as Nanchang prefect.
Nanchang is the capital and the central government. Is it easy to be the head of this city?
Yu Jin thought about the many challenges he might face, but he never thought about the first tricky thing he encountered after taking office, which turned out to be such a farce.
That's right, farce.
A group of soldiers beat a group of candidates who are about to take the national exam. This is not called a farce.
Such a thing would never happen in the Song Dynasty. It must be a political incident with such a bad influence. It would be light if the Zhao family and the scholar-official group were not peeled off the skin of these soldiers.
Although the Great Chu may not value martial arts, it is absolutely impossible to value literary talent.
The palms and backs of hands are full of flesh, so how to properly handle them will naturally annoy Tu Jin.
This kind of thing is not big or small.
If it is not handled well, it is difficult for the army to explain, and it will offend a large group of civil officials.
The size in the middle is a very test of ability.
Of course, if you want to save your worries, Yu Jin can send someone to report this matter to the cabinet, then how to deal with it will naturally be the concern of the cabinet.
The nature of this matter is also enough to rise to the level of entering the cabinet.
"Big things are turned into small things, but small things are turned into small things."
The most appropriate way for Yu Jin to deal with it at the first time is to downplay it.
You can’t make a big deal. If you make a big deal, both sides will not be able to take advantage of it. In this way, what should you do if the national examination is in one day? What should you do if you get promoted to the tent and the army goes to war in three days?
In view of this, after Yu Jin understood the whole story, he directly beat the slap in the goblin and made a decision to hit the forty boards each.
"Xu Jingyun, as the captain of the Third Battalion of Nanchang City Defense, you should not be punished by the crimes committed here. Our administration has sent someone to notify Mr. Cheng Zhuo, who is responsible for the city defense of Nanchang City. When Mr. Cheng Zhuo arrives, the military law will be judged by Mr. Cheng Zhuo."
Hearing this, Xu Jingyun and other military officers immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
When they return to the military camp, this matter will naturally be digested internally. If you expect Cheng Zhuo to punish them, of course you don’t have to think about it.
Wang Sui, who was beaten, was dissatisfied and started to condemn him.
"I want to leave after hitting someone. How can I do this in the world? Is there any kingly law?"
"The matters of soldiers will be handed over to the chief officer for handling, and this is the law of the king."
Yu Jin did not let go and did not intend to give in at all. Instead, he said to Wang Sui and others: "As for you, I, the matter of criticizing the government, have not yet decided on the law of being guilty for words, so our government will not deal with it. As for the fight, since you are about to take the national examination, we will deal with it after the national examination. In this way, we will all disperse."
After saying that, he waved his hand and wanted to drive Wang Sui and others away.
Can Wang Sui and others be willing to be beaten? Their life perceptions in the past few decades were all about them riding on the heads of military officers to show their might and be blessed. Now, it’s so good that they were beaten for no reason, and Yu Jin, who was also a civil servant, turned his elbow outward?
"The general is arrogant and hurts people at any time. If you don't punish me here, I will not accept it."
They are all young people with strong energy. Although they can't fight, it is obviously impossible to lose if they want Wang Sui and others to suffer a loss.
Yu Jin is still a child after all. Although he is good at taking the exam, it is still difficult to deal with how to deal with people.
It is easy to get both sides of ordinary people. If you gather a group to fight and hurt people, be beaten and sentence them to imprisonment. It is worry-free to fall.
Fortunately, footsteps sounded outside the hall at this time, and another group of generals wearing helmets and armor came in.
When he saw the leader, Yu Jin couldn't sit still, so he quickly got up and walked around the big case and bowed to him.
"Young Master Zhuo."
The one who was able to come to Nanchang Prefecture at this time was of course the backer of Xu Jingyun and others, and Luo Chengzhuo, who was responsible for the defense of Nanchang City.
The latter nodded at Yu Jin without saying a word, and walked straight to Xu Jingyun, who looked happy.
"Young Master..."
Before Xu Jingyun could finish speaking, he was stuffy with boots.
Luo Chengzhuo kicked the former in the face.
Xu Jingyun fell on his back and bleeding from his mouth and nose.
"You are so majestic. You beat the candidates who took the national exam in Nanchang City?"
Luo Chengzhuo was so angry that he was stunned. Others were resting at home. After hearing the news, he was so scared that he couldn't get over.
The civil and military despicable period lasted for decades. Although now that the world has changed, Luo Yongsheng has always tried to improve the status and treatment of warriors, but this idea has been engraved in his bones for decades, so it will not be reversed in a short time.
After several times of history, there was no precedent for military officers to gather together to beat civil officials.
When Luo Chengzhuo started, no one could stop him, which made Wang Sui and others who were watching the sidelines exclaim.
Before I could be happy for a long time, another group of people came from outside the yamen.
The people who came down were even more amazing, even Luo Chengzhuo was shocked.
written!
"Big Brother."
Luo Chengzhuo stopped and smiled as he leaned over, his face filled with laughter: "How big a matter has it alarmed you? My brother is teaching you a lesson. I will definitely give you an explanation to the cabinet. This is too bad. How dare they, the clumsy people, beat up the scholars who were in the national examination?"
"I'm not here to see you teach your subordinates."
Luo Chengwen returned a bow to Yu Jin, walked to Wang Sui and others and frowned: "All scholars, how can you do such a thing happen? How can you do this?"
Although Cheng Wen's age is similar to that of Wang Sui and others, when his demeanor and identity are revealed, it is not inconsistent to speak these old-fashioned words.
"We are chatting about state affairs during the banquet, so these reckless men said nothing and beat us up without asking. The eldest son must make the decision for us."
Wang Sui and others cried, but they were anxious that Xu Jingyun, who was crooked and slanted, hurriedly got up and reported to Luo Chengwen.
"Young Master, their mouths are very stinky. Not only do they mock us for being uneducated and vulgar, but they also maliciously criticize us for being ambitious. Yes, we have never read any books, but we also know that killing enemies on the battlefield and defending our country. How come we are just a group of mud legs and smelly hills."
Chengwen frowned even tighter.
Literary people look down on military men. It is the sense of superiority that has been engraved in the bones for so many years. This matter seems to be just a farce, but when you think too much, isn’t it a contradiction brought about by the microcosm of today’s mainstream ideas.
If this contradiction is not handled well, it will be very bad if the confrontation between civil and military officials in the future.
"Today's end, please go back to the Ministry of Rites' House. I have arranged for you to treat the doctor's injuries, so don't delay the national examination."
Luo Chengwen waved his hand to stop the matter, and turned to look at Luo Chengzhuo, then looked at the pitiful Xu Jingyun, and scolded dissatisfiedly: "What should I do after I figure out what, what should I do? Is it right to beat the general at will? Take the person away, restrain the subordinates, and get out of the city to drink. But the drunkenness with the helmet and armor made trouble, which made the people see what they think.
The image of our Chu army kingly army and the benevolent and righteous army has ruined you. You are simply a bastard. Go back to the military camp to lead the army."
With Luo Chengwen coming forward to make a decision, the parties involved left in shame without any dissatisfaction.
Only Luo Chengwen and Yu Jin were left in the government office.
The former bowed to Yu Jin: "It is not a good thing to be arrogant and arrogant in literature and martial arts, so it must be reported to the father."
Yu Jin was shocked.
"That's so big?"
"When you see the small things, small things may not be small, and big things may not be big. Alas, let's not say anything, say goodbye."
"The eldest son walked slowly."
When Luo Chengwen was sent away, Yu Jin shook his head and sighed.
Literary and martial arts are arrogant, Luo Chengwen is right, this small matter may not be small.
Isn’t this a mess just causing trouble for Luo Yongsheng?
Thinking about it, laughing.
In the next few days, Nanchang should be more lively.
