085: Petition to force the palace

It is not okay for people outside to send things to Cheng Qing's house. It is easy for Cheng Qing to deliver letters outside. The yamen runners had already had the order and agreed to Cheng Qing's request very readily.

In fact, they have been waiting for Cheng Qing to deliver letters, but Cheng Qing is too tolerant and has been under house arrest for so long without saying a word. Even if he is detained in embarrassment, he grits his teeth and refuses to ask for help.

Master Yu, or Liu Sizheng, wants Cheng Qing to ask for help from outside!

If you don’t ask for help, how can you follow the clues and continue to investigate in depth?

Who will Cheng Qing ask for help?

No one guessed that Cheng Qing had been locked up for so long and wrote the first letter he wrote was actually for Chen Xuedao.

Are Cheng Qing and Shen Xuedao very familiar?

On the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Festival, Chen Xuedao showed an attitude of not liking to Cheng Qing, just because Cheng Qing was the son of Cheng Zhiyuan, and this identity was preconceived, which was called Chen Xuedao's disgust.

If Meng Huaijin had not persuaded him, Chen Xuedao might not have been willing to see Cheng Qing, even if Cheng Qing had solved thirty lantern test questions according to the rules.

The letter Cheng Qing gave to Chen Xuedao naturally would not be sent to Chen Xuedao, but would be placed in front of Prefect Yu.

Prefect Yu thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the intersection between Cheng Qing and Shen Xuedao.

People are curious, so Priest Yu still unpacked the letter.

After reading it, Master Yu's expression was strange.

"...It's really a tiny person!"

This is not a letter written to Chen Xuedao. It is obvious that I knew that the letter was to be sent to him, so I deliberately showed it to him?

As soon as the prefect Yu put down the letter, he heard the eldest son say that the magistrate Li of Nanyi was here.

"Chief Cheng and Lord Li from Nanyi Academy came together."

"Only Chief Cheng, but not the head of the Cheng family? Ask those yamen runners who are guarding Yangliu Lane, have no one ever sent any news to the Cheng family these days... Forget this matter, I'll ask you later. I'll ask Li Magistrate and Chief Cheng first."

Li County was a junior official, and Yu could refuse at will if he couldn't imagine. However, Cheng Shanzhu was in charge of Nanyi Academy. Yu San is still a dropout. Although Yu Taifu invited his husband to teach at home, the effect was not as good as Yu San when he was in Nanyi Academy.

There is even a tendency to go back more and more when the thoughts are made, so the prefect Yu is very worried about this.

The Great Wei was all officials from other places and were not allowed to return to their original homes. Yu Prefect was not from the Xuandu Prefecture. Wherever his household registration was, Yu San would go back to take the scientific examination, otherwise he would be exposed as a "fake".

In the twelfth lunar month, Cheng Qing's family was under house arrest. Yu Sanhuan was so happy that he looked like a villain. Even the prefect, the father-in-law, could not stand it. He really wanted to beat him up again. He was injured and was more honest while lying on the bed.

Yu San is already a child. He has passed the county examination and the government examination a long time ago. He will be a scholar after passing the college examination this year.

The exam had to return to his original hometown, but the prefect Yu still wanted his son to study at Nanyi Academy.

The academy has strict discipline and is under his nose. He left Yu San in his hometown, and no one can control him!

Isn’t it necessary for Chief Cheng to decide if his son wants to return to Nanyi Academy? Prefect Yu’s enthusiasm for Chief Cheng is more than that for Chief Li.

After a few polite greetings, Cheng Shanzhu went straight to the point.

He wants Cheng Qing to participate in next month's county examination!

Prefect Yu frowned, "This is probably not appropriate. Although the envoy of Dali Temple has returned to Beijing, Cheng Zhiyuan's case is still under investigation..."

Chief Cheng Shan interrupted the prefect Yu:

"Sir, if the court issued a verdict, I would not be so shameless today. The criminal's son was not allowed to take the scientific examination. It was written into the laws of the Great Wei Dynasty. However, the court has not issued a verdict. It is still doubtful whether Cheng Zhiyuan is guilty. Why can't his son take the scientific examination?"

After all, Cheng Qing, Liu and others were all implicated by Cheng Zhiyuan, instead of being involved in the disaster and silver corruption case themselves!

Cheng Zhiyuan died in the winter of the fifth year of Chengping, when Cheng Qing was less than thirteen years old.

I have never seen any corrupt official who would let his twelve-year-old son be his helper. The half-old child could accidentally sell his father if he didn't care.

The prefect Yu was helpless, "Chief Cheng Shan, I did not deliberately make things difficult for Cheng Qing's family. The court's judgment document has not been released, and Cheng Qing's family will eventually be supervised. This is also the meaning of Dali Temple. Just because Cheng Qing wants to participate in this year's county examination, I must lift the ban on his whole family in advance."

Cheng Shanchang and Prefect Yu could not reach an agreement.

County Magistrate Li quickly smoothed out:

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be too embarrassed. There is a way to do both. The yamen runners in Yangliu Lane don't need to withdraw. They just release Cheng Qing to participate in the county exam. How about sending him back to Yangliu Lane after the exam?"

"Did County Magistrate Li think about Cheng Qing passing the county examination, the government examination and the college examination in one go, should he give him a scholar's reputation?"

It is easy to pass the exam, but it is easy to deal with if you haven’t passed the exam, but it’s hard to get it.

The operation of Chief Cheng Shan and Priest Yu is to take advantage of loopholes.

Yu Gong'er didn't know where they had created the Axial Fierce, which insisted that Cheng Qing ended this year, and the next year, wouldn't it be better?

Only when everything is settled can Cheng Qing concentrate on taking the exam and get fame and fortune, and no one will question it.

As Yu's questioning, County Li was obviously prepared for it:

"Why don't he give it to him if he can pass the exam? After the court's verdict, if Cheng Zhiyuan is guilty, he can just eliminate his scholar's fame!"

If a scholar is a fame and fortune, it is not something that anyone who says it will be removed and it will be reported to the court.

Any little scholar or Shen Xuedao can decide to eliminate him!

Prefect Yu remembered the letter that was said to be written to Shen Xuedao.

This is really not connected in advance, can you give the same statement?

That group of guards really need to beat the yamen runners!

A person will face many choices in his life!

An ordinary person's idea may only change his own destiny, and the thoughts of a person with authority may affect the lives of others.

Should I help Cheng Qing?

Prefect Yu was still hesitating.

But at this moment, a yamen runner hurried to report:

"Sir, the news came back from Yangliu Lane, Nanyi County, saying that a group of students gathered outside Cheng's house and asked Cheng Qing whether to participate in this year's county examination, and said that he should go to the county government office to register..."

Prefect Yu immediately smiled angrily:

"Okay, you are petitioning to force the palace!"

Chairman Cheng was very calm, "Sir, no one can force the students' ideas. Whoever they like and don't like, is not something I, the leader, can control."

Just like when Cheng Qing first entered the academy, everyone was hiding, not only because Yu San said he wanted to isolate Cheng Qing.

It is because the students do not understand Cheng Qing, rather than simply fearing Yu San.

Later, the situation was reversed, and Yu San repeatedly provoked and made things difficult for him, causing the students of the academy to turn to sympathize with Cheng Qing and hate Yu San's domineeringness. The academy ordered Yu San to go home to reflect. Except for a few people with a particularly good relationship with Yu San, no one else pleaded for Yu San, which shows how unpopular Yu San's approach is!

That's the matter. If Yu San returns to the academy, Cheng Qing has no choice but to decide. It's not Cheng Shanshen's decision alone. The students in the academy always need to change their views on Yu San.
