Chapter 244: Meeting Wang Yangming

The so-called Jingkui does not specifically refer to the third place.

The first name of the township examination is "Jieyuan". Tang Bohu was the first in the province to take the test, so it is also called Tang Jieyuan. The second name of the township examination is Yayuan, the third, fourth, and fifth names are all called Jingkui, and the sixth name is Yakui.

Seeing Jiang Hao coming out, the surrounding neighbors immediately cheered and applauded.

"Young Master Jiang is so talented that he actually got the third place in the exam."

"What does it mean to lift a person, Young Master Jiang has the ability to remember him, and he will definitely be a Jinshi and come back in the future."

"Congratulations Mr. Jiang"

Jiang Hao stepped forward to take the big red wedding invitation, looked at the list above, smiled and said to Uncle Fu, "Uncle Fu, give a reward."

Uncle Fu immediately gave out money and rewarded several mail-delivery yamen, each with five taels of silver, and the yamen took it over happily one by one, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, and congratulations to Mr. Jiang again."

The yamen is gone, the Jiang family is not finished yet.

Uncle Fu sent people to buy firecrackers again. A festive sound of firecrackers sounded in front of Jiang's house, and then he held out a bunch of copper coins. Jiang Hao stood at the door and threw the coins out. Countless people fought for it. hi money.

No one usually spends this money. Take it back and tie it with a red rope, and hang it around the neck of the children who are studying. It can be a good luck. I hope that the children have good ears and eyesight, and will be able to take the exam in the future.

After that, the Jiang family opened more than a dozen tables to entertain relatives, friends and neighbors. Wei Yangsheng, Jian Yuheng, Wen Ziran, Shangguan Shen, and Zhang Jiansheng naturally came to congratulate them. The Jiang family was lively until very late.

In the evening, Jiang Hao wrote a letter, hung it on the lap of the carrier pigeon, touched his head and said, "Send it to the lady and tell her the good news of my middle school."

"Cuckoo."

The carrier pigeon called a few times and flew away in the distance.

The next morning, Jiang Hao dressed neatly and went to the post house to meet Lu Shen, the chief examiner of Jiangxi, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. .

In the evening, the provincial governor presided over the Luming Banquet. All the 78 students in the middle class attended the Luming Banquet. At the Luming Banquet, Jiang Hao met a celebrity Wang Shouren, also known as the famous mind master Wang Yangming.

At this time, Wang Shouren was the censor of Zuo Yudu of the Metropolitan Police, governor of Jiangxi and other places. Jiang Hao had heard of this name before, and when he learned about the history of King Ning, he was even more impressed by this master Wang.

According to historical records, King Ning had been preparing for the rebellion for more than ten years, but this grandmaster Wang, in just over 40 days, single-handedly wiped out the rebellion of King Ning and captured King Ning alive.

During the banquet, Jiang Hao didn't show much. He toasted everyone step by step, and only had one relationship with Wang Yangming.

Two days later, Jiang Hao came to Wang Yangming's mansion by himself and came to visit Mr. Wang. After the servant reported to Wang Yangming, Wang Yangming looked at the post with surprise, "Jiang Hao Jiang Runyu, the third place in the imperial examination today, why did he come here? see me?"

Wang Yangming thought about it for a while, but let the servants invite Jiang Hao in. Jiang Hao came to the main hall and bowed and saluted after seeing Wang Shouren, "The student pays a respect to Wang Yushi."

Wang Yangming looked at this handsome and handsome young man. He had a good impression of Jiang Hao, and said, "Sit down, I don't know what is going on when you come to see the old man this time."

Jiang Hao said respectfully: "Sir, you have been governor of Jiangxi for more than a year, what is your impression of King Ning?"

Wang Yangming's eyes suddenly darkened. The ancient officialdom was very particular, neither relatives nor teachers nor friends. No one would talk about any profound topics. Jiang Hao and Wang Yangming had never known each other. Hao also has no choice, and he also believes in Wang Yangming's character, so he speaks so bluntly.

"What do you mean by Jiang Juren?" Wang Yangming said in a deep and light tone.

Jiang Hao bowed his hands to Wang Yangming, "Sir, King Ning is the biggest scourge in Jiangxi. He is extremely arrogant and domineering. He arbitrarily kills civil and military officials and innocent people in secluded places. Feeding herds, stealing animals and raising their lives, it is truly a sin."

"Students have the intention to remove this great harm, but I know that King Ning has many connections with local officials. He is also a relative of the royal family. I am weak and I can't move King Ning at all."

Wang Yangming squinted his eyes, looked at Jiang Hao and said, "Then you can write to the imperial court, and explain the various crimes of King Ning, why did you come to me to complain."

Jiang Hao said: "Because I know that there are many bribes and collusion between King Ning and the eunuchs in the court. It was Liu Jin before, and now it is Qian Ning. Even if I write to the court, I will not be able to reach His Majesty. "

A gleam flashed in Wang Yangming's eyes, and Jiang Hao came to the point, who Wang Yangming hated the most, the eunuch, who the eunuch hated the most was definitely Liu Jin, because Liu Jin sent someone to kill him back then.

In the winter of the first year of Zhengde, Liu Jin was arrogant and arrested more than 20 people including Dai Xian, the imperial censor in Nanjing. Wang Shouren sent a letter to the emperor to save them. Even Wang Shouren's father, Wang Hua, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, was kicked out of the capital and transferred to Nanjing as the Minister of Officials.

When Wang Shouren was on the road, he was chased by Liu Jin's people, and he pretended to jump into the river to commit suicide to escape the disaster.

Wang Yangming looked at Jiang Hao. Now, in his eyes, the young man in front of him was a scholar who was full of enthusiasm and dedicated himself to serving the country and the people. There were many young people like this in the Ming Dynasty, and most of the doubts in his heart were gone. .

"Then you came to me today, what are your thoughts, 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 that even if the lord submits a letter, he will not be able to defeat King Ning, because he is of royal blood, and there are eunuchs who protect him."

"Then what do you think?" Wang Yangming asked.

"The student thought about it for a long time, and then I found out that if you want to move to King Ning, you need to fully understand him. The student made a decision to send away his family and wife, and go into the tiger's den alone. Now I have entered King Ning's peerless building and obtained the With the trust of King Ning, I also found out some things about King Ning."

"In the treasure house of the peerless building, there are a lot of ordnance and armor, enough to equip ten or twenty thousand people. King Ning also keeps more than 2,000 horses privately. There are various signs that King Ning has the intention of rebelling."

"I also found that there are Japanese pirates in King Ning's close-fitting hands, so I suspect that King Ning has connections with Japanese pirates."

Wang Yangming was startled when he heard it. He didn't expect the young man in front of him to act so meticulously, and he had become King Ning's confidant, and he discovered that King Ning had rebellion intentions.

"Is your purpose here today to tell me this?" Wang Yangming asked.

Jiang Hao cupped his hands and said, "Sir, I look at King Ning, and my ambitions are already extremely inflated. If I judge correctly, it will not take a year or two for King Ning to turn against him. At that time, I will be able to provide information to the adults. thief."
