Chapter Nine Hundred and Twentieth Three Disasters to Pond Fish
The Guozijian is on vacation, and Chen Xiao is also on vacation, and it's a big vacation.
"You have violated the rules many times. For your father's sake, we have forgiven you many times. But now that His Majesty is in Beiping, and the Imperial College is very popular, we dare not keep you any longer. Let's go!"
Yes, Chen Xiao has 'graduated'. To be precise, he was expelled from the Imperial College.
Guozijian is currently still a reserve of officials, and many of them fail the examinations to promote Jinshi.
Once removed, it is equivalent to cutting off the official career, so this is the reason why the discipline of the Guozijian is so strict, and there are so many people who want to get in.
Chen Xiao made a fuss, but it was useless.
He wanted to beat someone up, but the Guozijian had already prepared for it. Two big men in Jinyi guarded the scene with knives.
No one would question the officials who dared to attack the Imperial College and be killed on the spot.
Chen Xiao didn't dare to go home, he was afraid that Chen Jiahui would break his leg, and he was even more afraid of seeing Lu Xiaoran.
A man who has accomplished nothing has no face to go home!
Most of them will go to friends!
So when Fang Xing saw the decadent Chen Xiao, he just said lightly, "Come on, have a drink."
Halfway through drinking, Chen Ling gritted her teeth and said, "Younger brother thinks he's not a top-notch in the Imperial College, but they actually take advantage of me. They're really bullying!"
The so-called prominence refers to mischief.
Beiping Guozijian also has some meritorious students studying, but these people have been fishing for three days and drying nets for two days.
Fang Xing said playfully: "If they want to clean up the Imperial College, they should have done it when His Majesty moved the capital, and not wait until now."
"Is it really their black hands?"
Chen Xiao put down the chopsticks, and said angrily: "Is it something good done by my father's political opponents? I'll remind you later."
Fang Xing shook his head and said, "Uncle's political opponents don't have that much power yet, Jianzhong, you are probably implicated by me."
Chen Ling was startled, her fat face trembled, and she patted her chest and said, "Brother Dehua, don't worry about small matters. The younger brother who came home said he offended the professor and was kicked out."
"Then your uncle will break your leg, and you will be locked up at home to study hard." Fang Xing felt very guilty, and made Chen Xiao suffer.
Chen Ling said stiffly: "What are you afraid of! My mother is here!"
That fat face trembled slightly, looking a little silly.
But Lu Xiaoran's father was the head of the household department, and it was said that Xia Yuanji valued him very much. If Chen Xiao didn't live up to him, the old man would not follow him.
But how can I watch you sink!
Fang Xing smiled: "Forget it, I'll go back with you and explain this matter to my uncle."
Chen Xiao said in a low voice: "In the worst case, I'll go into business. Didn't you say that in the future, being a businessman will not be worse than being an official? I might as well go into business."
Fang Xing smiled, asked someone to put away the wine, and said, "What are you worried about? You won't starve to death if I have something to eat. If you take ten thousand steps back, the academy is short of manpower!"
Chen Xiao was delighted when he heard it, "Brother Dehua, then I will enter the academy!"
Now the reputation of Zhixing Academy is getting bigger and bigger. If you can find a position in the academy, it is much better than being a small official in the Imperial College.
Fang Xing shook his head: "That's not good, you are not a person who can sit still, and I will discuss it with my uncle after the Chinese New Year."
This matter can be settled by Fang Xing, but he has to worry about Chen Jiahui's face.
Chen Xiao was overjoyed when he heard the words, regardless of Fang Xing's advice, he forcibly ordered wine, and the two went to Shuntian Mansion together until they were drunk.
...
"Father, my boy has been expelled from the Imperial College!"
Chen Xiao triumphantly reported her 'great achievements'.
Outside the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, Chen Jiahui blinked: "What did you say?"
Chen Xiao didn't know that disaster was imminent, so she still said with a smile: "Father, I caused trouble, and the Imperial College dismissed me."
Before Fang Xing could react, he saw Chen Jiahui clenched his right fist, and hurriedly shouted: "Uncle, I misunderstood! This is a misunderstanding!"
But Chen Jiahui moved faster,
As soon as Fang Xing's voice came, Chen Xiao's eyes were sealed with his fist.
"oops!"
Chen Xiao covered her eyes and staggered. Just as Chen Jiahui was about to fly, Fang Xing arrived.
"Uncle, this matter has nothing to do with Jianzhong, it's all my nephew's fault."
...
"Go home first!"
Half an hour later, Chen Ling stared at a panda eye, and walked away in despair.
"What do you mean to say, this is probably the method of Xunqi?"
Chen Jiahui felt a little dazed, how could the relatives fall in love with the 'stupid as a pig' Chen Xiao?
Fang Xing said embarrassingly: "My nephew has cheated them recently, so Jianzhong has been implicated. But it is a good thing, it can make Jianzhong do things earlier."
"Don't take it lightly. Don't worry about Jianzhong. Anyway, the old man's family is not short of his food, but those relatives who come here are not kind. Today is Jianzhong. Where will it be tomorrow? You should think carefully."
Chen Jiahui's expression was sincere, Fang Xing's eyes were a little hot, he lowered his eyes and said: "Uncle, it's okay, now His Majesty is dissatisfied with his relatives, they have to behave with their tails between their legs, besides, my nephew is not afraid of their methods, the big deal is to make things worse." Make trouble, His Majesty is waiting!"
After all, Chen Jiahui has been in office for a long time, so he immediately reacted: "But is it because of the Qing army?"
"Yes, the results of the cleanup of the North and South Guards are shocking, and the Xun Qi is to blame for it. If you are restless in the near future, His Majesty will not be afraid to do it right after the capital is moved!"
Chen Jiahui took a breath, and said with piercing eyes: "Then you should hide your strength and bide your time. Wu Xun and civil officials will inevitably fight frequently, and it is not a wise man to stand in the middle."
Fang Xing is currently in the middle of his relatives and civil servants, and the possibility of being attacked by concentrated fire is very high.
...
Back home, things about Chen Xiao had already started to ferment, and even Zhang Shuhui got the news.
"Will Jianzhong fall into a slump?"
Zhang Shuhui was wiping Potato's face with a hot towel.
Hearing Tudou muttering under the towel, Fang Xing smiled: "No, actually I don't want him to be an official, he has a bad temper!"
Zhang Shuhui took the towel away, took a deep breath, and then took the opportunity to roll, rolled to the side, and crawled towards Ping An who was sleeping soundly.
"Husband, it's not that Jianzhong has a bad temper, it's just that he's a bit of a dandy, and he won't succeed if he doesn't polish it!"
Zhang Shuhui pointed out Fang Xing's mistake with the keenness of a woman.
Fang Xing said in astonishment: "What kind of dude is he? But it doesn't matter, depending on what he means, if he wants to be an official, then I have to support him. If he doesn't want to, I will help him in business."
Seeing that Tudou was about to wake Ping An up, Zhang Shuhui grabbed his little feet and dragged him back.
"Doing business... I'm afraid my uncle won't agree, after all, it's a scholarly family."
After all, Chen Jiahui passed the imperial examination. If Chen Xiao becomes a businessman, his grandson will not be able to take the imperial examination in the future, then...
Fang Xing struggled and said, "It will be allowed in the future, but the son of a merchant must be restricted, and his official position is not high."
Suppressing merchants to participate in politics was the national policy of the Ming Dynasty, but it completely collapsed in the middle and late stages. The sons of merchants became officials in a dignified manner, and became high-ranking officials in a serious manner, speaking for merchants.
