Chapter 245: Meeting Wang Yangming
The so-called Jingkui does not refer specifically to the third place.
The first name of the provincial examination is "Xieyuan". Tang Bohu was the first in the province to take the exam, so he was also called the Tang Jieyuan. The second name of the provincial examination is Yayuan, the third, fourth and fifth names are all called Jingkui, and the sixth name is Yakui.
Seeing Jiang Hao come out, the neighbors around him immediately cheered and applauded.
"Young Master Jiang is very capable and actually got the third place."
"What is Juren? Mr. Jiang has the ability to remember everything he has seen. He will definitely be able to get a Jinshi exam in the future."
"Congratulations to Mr. Jiang..."
Jiang Hao stepped forward to take the big red wedding invitation, looked at the list above, and smiled and said to Uncle Fu: "Uncle Fu, give me a reward."
Uncle Fu immediately paid a reward of several yamen runners, each of whom was five taels of silver. The yamen runners happily took it over, "Mr. Xie Jiang's reward, congratulations to Mr. Jiang again."
The yamen runners left, but the Jiang family is not finished yet.
Uncle Fu sent someone to buy firecrackers again, and the sound of festive firecrackers suddenly sounded in front of the Jiang family. Then he carried out a basket of copper coins. Jiang Hao stood at the door and scattered the copper coins. Countless people fought over. This was the happy money that the juren scattered.
Take it back and tie it with a red rope, and hang it on your neck for the children who are studying. You can get a good start. I hope the children can be smart in their ears and eyes and can be admitted to the Jinshi in the future.
After that, the Jiang family held more than a dozen banquets to entertain relatives, friends and neighbors. Wei Yangsheng, Jian Yuheng, Wen Ziran, Shangguan Shen, Zhang Jiansheng and others naturally came to congratulate him. The Jiang family was lively until very late.
In the evening, Jiang Hao wrote a letter, hung it on the pigeon's legs, touched his head and said, "Send it to my wife and tell her the good news for my victory."
"Gugugugu."
The carrier pigeon screamed a few times and flew away in the distance.
The next morning, Jiang Hao was dressed neatly and went to the inn to meet the Jiangxi chief examiner Lu Shen, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy. He was the chief examiner, that is, all the candidates this time, and the ceremony should be visited, which is also called thanking Master.
In the evening, the governor of this province presided over the Luming Banquet. All 78 students who won the imperial examination attended. At the Luming Banquet, Jiang Hao met a famous person, Wang Yangming, the famous master of mind science.
At this time, Wang Shouren was the left assistant censor of the Censorate, governor of Jiangxi and other places. Jiang Hao had heard of this name before. When he learned about the history of King Ning, he was even more impressed by Grandmaster Wang.
According to historical records, King Ning had prepared for more than ten years for the rebellion, but Grandmaster Wang only took more than forty days to wipe out the rebellion of King Ning and captured King Ning alive.
During the meal, Jiang Hao didn't perform much and toasted everyone step by step, and he only met Wang Yangming.
Two days later, Jiang Hao came to Wang Yangming's mansion alone and came to pay homage to Lord Wang. After the servant reported to Wang Yangming, Wang Yangming looked at the prayer post with a look of surprise, "Jiang Hao and Jiang Runyu, the third place in the imperial examination today, why did he come to pay homage to me?"
Wang Yangming thought about it and asked his servants to invite Jiang Hao in. Jiang Hao came to the main hall and bowed to him when he saw Wang Shouren, "Students pay homage to the Imperial Master Wang."
Wang Yangming looked at this handsome young man with a beautiful young man. He had a pretty good impression of Jiang Hao and said, "Sit down, I don't know what happened if you come to see me this time."
Jiang Hao said respectfully: "Sir, you have been governing Jiangxi for more than a year. What is your impression of King Ning?"
Wang Yangming's eyes suddenly became deeper. There were many specialties in ancient times. He was neither relatives nor teachers nor friends. No one would talk about any profound topics. Jiang Hao and Wang Yangming had never been together. It was very inappropriate to ask such questions. Jiang Hao had no choice. Moreover, he also believed in Wang Yangming's character, so he spoke so bluntly.
"What does Juren Jiang mean?" Wang Yangming said in a deep voice and a faint tone.
Jiang Hao bowed to Wang Yangming, "Sir, King Ning is the biggest disaster in Jiangxi. He is extremely arrogant and domineering. He will kill and expel local civil and military officials and innocent people at will, occupy people's wealth, occupy people's land, houses, children, plunder merchants, and raise groups of thieves and animals to raise lives. It is truly a heinous crime."
"The students are willing to eliminate this great harm, but I know that King Ning has many connections with local officials. He is also a royal relative. I am weak and I can't even move King Ning."
Wang Yangming narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Hao and said, "Then you can write to the court, Mingshu Ning Wang's various crimes, why did he come to me to complain?"
Jiang Hao said: "Because I know that King Ning has many bribery and collusion with eunuchs in the court. It was Liu Jin before, but now it is Qian Ning. Even if I write to the court, I can't get to Your Majesty's place. Instead, it will be heard from King Ning as soon as possible."
A sharp light flashed in Wang Yangming's eyes. Jiang Hao said it to the point. Who is Wang Yangming hates the most? Eunuch, who is the eunuch who hates the most? It is definitely Liu Jin, because Liu Jin sent someone to kill him back then.
In the winter of the first year of Zhengde, Liu Jin took power and arrested more than 20 people including the Nanjing Censor Dai Xian and others. Wang Shouren wrote a letter to the emperor to save them, which angered Liu Jin. He was stole forty by Liu Jin and exiled to Longchang, Guizhou and served as the chief of the Longchang Post Office. Even Wang Shouren's father, Wang Hua, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was driven out of the capital and transferred to the Nanjing Provincial Secretary.
When Wang Shouren was on the road, he was chased by Liu Jin and pretended to jump into the river to commit suicide before escaping.
Wang Yangming looked at Jiang Hao. Now, in his opinion, the young man in front of him was a scholar who was full of passion and devoted to serving the country and the people. There were many young people like this in the Ming Dynasty, and most of the suspicion in his heart went away.
"Then you come to me today. Do you have any ideas? Are you going to ask me to write to the court to eradicate King Ning?" Wang Shouren said.
Jiang Hao shook his head, "No, I know, even if the lord writes a letter, he can't defeat King Ning, because he is the royal bloodline and there are eunuchs who protect him."
"What do you think?" Wang Yangming asked.
"The student thought for a long time before, but later I found that if I wanted to move to Ning Wang, I had to fully understand him. The student made a decision to send his family and wife away and go deep into the tiger's den alone. Now I have entered the Peerless Building of Ning Wang, gained Ning Wang's trust, and found out some things about Ning Wang."
"The treasure house of Peerless Building contains a large number of weapons and armor, enough to be equipped with 10,000 or 20,000 people. King Ning also privately raised more than 2,000 horses. All signs indicate that King Ning has the intention to rebel."
"I also found that among the personal masters of King Ning, there were Japanese pirates, so I suspect that King Ning was also related to the Japanese pirates."
Wang Yangming was shocked. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him was so meticulous and had become King Ning's confidant, and discovered that King Ning had the intention to rebel.
"Is your purpose today to tell me this?" Wang Yangming asked.
Jiang Hao bowed, "Sir, I have ambitions that have been extremely expanded when I see King Ning. If I make a good judgment, King Ning will rebel within one or two years. At that time, I will be able to provide information to Lord Ning. We will work together inside and outside to annihilate this thief in one fell swoop."
