Xishan has recruited farmers.

All of a sudden, the land of four towns and eight miles seemed to be blown up.

"There's more, there's more!" The Baochang continued: "If there are common people who apply to Xishan, the local governments can do it cheaply. Here is the seal of the Zhen Guofu, which was written by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

But no one of the old and young men who listened seriously just now paid any attention to the security chief.

Xishan is recruiting a thousand households!

There is white noodles in Xishan, and there are white noodles for three meals a day. Not only that, but there is also bacon during the festivals, and the children can read.

Compared with this era, the vast majority of people only eat twice a day, and they don’t take it easy. However, the favorable conditions of Xishan have a fatal attraction for everyone.

After receiving this news, many strong men left immediately without much hesitation. With such a good opportunity, I am afraid that there are many people who want to go, and they also want to try their luck.

If he can really be taken in by Xishan, then there must be smoke from the ancestral grave, that Biaozi can still be so happy, and I will be worse than Biaozi?

It is said that people are far away from home, but the benefits of Xishan are real. Not to mention other things, the hot white rice alone is enough to inspire courage.

So the mighty crowd is moving towards a goal.

But at this time, the local prefectures and counties published memorials and reported the incident.

Emperor Hongzhi in the Forbidden City has been frowning for the past few days and is very troubled. He even feels listless when reviewing memorials in the warm pavilion. Emperor Hongzhi has only roughly read the memorials from Dongchang Mansion in Shandong. .

Xishan recruits farmers...Shandong people also join in the fun?

Although Dongchang Mansion is not far from Beizhili, Emperor Hongzhi still smiled!

Regarding the concerns of the local officials, he just commented: "Everything is done according to the government of the town, and the officials along the way must not make things difficult."

Putting down the pen, Emperor Hongzhi roughly read a few such reports, but he didn't take them to heart. He just thought about it. Xishan recruited farmers again, but he didn't know what tricks Fang Jifan was planning to make.

One thousand households is not too small.

The biggest headache for Emperor Hongzhi was the snowflake-like memorials, and it didn’t matter. These impeachment memorials could be left unpublished, or they could pretend not to have seen them, and the palace examination list could be decided later!

But the problem is that tomorrow is the court meeting in the middle of the month.

The court meeting is held twice a month. It is a big court meeting, so Qingliu and officials above the fifth rank are required to participate. , Unless encountering extremely special circumstances, Emperor Hongzhi was almost unhindered.

This court discussion... Did Emperor Hongzhi still choose to avoid it?

If you avoid it, this is not the style of Emperor Hongzhi.

But once he is promoted to the court, what will happen to these people who are sharpening their knives, facing hundreds of courtiers, countless censors and Hanlin?

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it, so he had no intention of continuing to read the memorial, and pushed the memorial to another corner sullenly, closing the door to rest his mind.

Xiao Jing on the side seemed to know what His Majesty was thinking: "Your Majesty, tomorrow's court meeting..."

"Let's hold it as scheduled." Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "It's useless to hide, right and wrong, let them argue for themselves in Jinshen Palace."

"Follow the order."

…………………

In the early morning of the next day, when the morning sun shone brightly on the earth, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan set off, preparing to attend the early morning court meeting!

They took five disciples and rushed directly to the Meridian Gate!

But outside the Meridian Gate, there are already crowds of people. Everyone has their own concerns, some are thinking, and some are full of ambition.

Naturally, especially a group of young Qingliu who are the most energetic. Who doesn't want to leave a name in history and speak up for justice? This is a great opportunity. The civil service system of the Ming Dynasty has completely contained the nobles. The eunuchs in the palace are no longer their opponents. , There is also a group of Zhonghe Yushi who are proud of not obeying the imperial edict.

Zhu Houzhao's mood seemed completely unaffected, he was whistling, as if nothing had happened.

That's annoying.

With such a big incident, the whole capital exploded. His Highness the Crown Prince was still so leisurely, pretending that nothing happened.

In fact, what everyone doesn't like is the prince's attitude problem. When encountering such a thing, you should at least pretend to be sad, admit your mistake, and the matter will be over, won't it?

But Zhu Houzhao whistled, he didn't have to enter the palace through the Meridian Gate, but he was born to enter the palace through the Meridian Gate. In the presence of a large crowd, he happily entered the Meridian Gate first, leaving only a beautiful back view for everyone.

…………

Yang Tinghe got up before dawn today, and then got into the sedan chair early and hurried on the road.

Today's court meeting is a crucial opportunity. It depends on today whether I, a scholar in the Imperial Academy, can turn around and become an idol-like pioneer of countless scholars.

Now that his official career has been hindered, he might as well become a victim, borrowing the suppression of the emperor and the prince to show his strength of character, to reveal the style of an ancient minister who refused to compromise in order to defend the famous religion, so even if he is doing this today Deposed, or Yang Tinghe has been hated by the emperor and prince since then, and even the cabinet

The Grand Maesters hated him, and it didn't matter.

However, his sedan chair stopped suddenly after passing a few neighborhoods, Yang Tinghe stroked his beard and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"

The bearer said: "There are many people blocking the road ahead."

"Oh." Yang Tinghe raised his eyebrows and said, "What day is today?"

"Return to the master." The bearer replied: "I heard that Xishan is recruiting village households, so I started recruiting today. So..."

"Oh." Yang Tinghe didn't take it to heart!

It's just recruiting farmers. His Royal Highness and Fang Jifan are really calm. They still have such leisure at this time!

He was still sitting in the sedan chair, and said slowly: "Go around."

"yes."

…………

The entire capital is empty.

Maybe people who go to court early in the morning don't have the slightest idea about it.

The recruitment of farmers in Xishan is a trivial matter. The ministers don't care, and the scholars don't care. After all, it doesn't even count as anecdotes to them.

Ministers and scholars are only staring at today's court discussion. It seems that a discussion of new learning and Neo-Confucianism is about to begin. In a sense, this big discussion is the result of many people taking all the stereotypes of Xishan Academy. After all the benefits, some kind of counter-offensive.

But as for the things that scholars care about in the temple, ordinary people are different from scholars, they have their own concerns.

Xishan has recruited village households, and the whole of Northern Zhili has already heard the news. The boundaries of Shandong and Henan, as well as the capitals of Shanxi and Datong, many people who have heard the news and moved, have long been waiting for the official recruitment day today.

Since the news came out seven or eight days ago, people from nearby prefectures and counties have left their hometowns and moved towards the West Mountain. There is an endless stream of people going to the West Mountain. Naturally, many people are not qualified to enter the capital, so they are all in the outer city Settlement at the foot of the city walls.

For those who are high above, or who can live comfortably, Xishan is nothing, but for the millions of people in the world, once they are lucky enough to enter Xishan, even if it is only the bottom of the household, they can serve the town and the government. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's service, this is a great thing, it can be regarded as smoke from the ancestral grave.

These years, Xishan has a very good reputation among ordinary people. They can eat enough and have a place to buy strength. After working for a few years, they can build a brick house, their son can study, and even if they are lucky, they can fly into the sky , This... Is there such a paradise in the world?

Wang Jinyuan was too busy to touch the ground.

The flying team had already lifted off and observed the situation on the ground. Yang Biao couldn't help being dumbfounded when he saw the scene below.

It was dark, and there were people everywhere.

"It's just recruiting a thousand farmers, why are there so many people here?"

Shen Ao held the binoculars and looked down, but said in his mouth: "No, something might happen. There are so many people gathered all at once, in all directions, the number of people may not be more than one hundred thousand. If something happens, it will be terrible. , we must quickly transfer people to maintain it, otherwise something will happen."

"Or, Flying Team..." Yang Biao lost all confidence when he said this.

How many people are there in the flying team? It's not enough to fill the teeth of these tens of thousands of people. Inside and outside the capital, there are Datong, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan and other places. Why did so many people appear all of a sudden?

Someone carried a pole, put their child in a basket, and pushed the doll back and forth among the crowd.

A strong man desperately pulled the person blocking the way inside.

There was also a child who was lost for a while, crying loudly.

Here in Xishan, so many people came suddenly, and the pressure was too great. Wang Jinyuan was sweating from anxiety. All the miners here!

I don't know what to do, I'm afraid that something will happen.

…………

"My mother, don't squeeze, don't squeeze... Make room, let me come first..."

"Straight mother thief, you squeeze an egg..."

"Big brother... give way, give way..."

People are like crazy, for fear of missing their opportunities.

But someone came across this, stunned, pulled these people over and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing? Go to Xishan and do your best for the crown prince and Ding Yuanhou."

The person who asked was obviously a scholar, and the scholar's face was a little frozen: "Put your strength, what are you doing?"

As a result, this Lunrushan scholar was despised by others: "Of course they eat white noodles, and there are white noodles to eat. His Royal Highness and Marquis Ding Yuan have to wait for generations. If they can serve them, they are beautiful even if they are cows or horses." .”

"Okay, okay, get out of the way, we have to hurry, we country people don't understand anything, let's go..."
