Zhang Jingyi said, "I'll ask."

So he set off, searched for someone and asked, and then came to Emperor Aoki again: "Your Majesty, I have asked, these people..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Jing stopped and looked very depressed.

"Don't hesitate." Emperor Aoki said, "But it's okay."

Zhang Jingyi had no choice but to say truthfully: "They were not here to see off Your Majesty, but planned to move to Guide Mansion."

Emperor Aoki couldn't help but say, "So many people?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "In the past, there were people who went there because everyone was afraid that the road was far away and that something happened. Now that His Majesty's car was about to go, they felt safe. Many people made up their minds and planned to follow His Majesty's convoy."

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that my brother is still very popular."

Zhang Jingyi said, "Human hearts are like water."

Emperor Apocalypse's face became a little gloomy, and he said curiously: "Who are they all?"

"There are the most scholars, and there are both successful and unsuccessful scholars, especially those who are unsuccessful. When they hear and believe in the king and the wise, they all want to try their luck." At this point, Zhang Jing lowered his voice and said, "The vast majority of them are the Donglin Party."

Emperor Aoki had no good expression and said, "Don't pay attention to them."

The convoy continued to set off.

The vast convoy was moving forward all the way, and Emperor Aoki sat in the car, looking bored.

After walking for a day, I issued several decrees in succession, and ordered the prefectures and counties in various places to welcome and see them off.

A few more memorials were received along the way, all of which were some measures taken by Guide Prefecture to govern.

Emperor Tianqi picked up some and took a look. He felt more suspicious.

Are these benevolent policies really useful?

Thinking of this, Emperor Aoki himself began to doubt it.

On the evening of the third day, I finally arrived in Baoding.

It was late, so I set up a trip. Emperor Tianqi stayed in an inn, and the rest of the officials did not have such good treatment because there were too many people and they could only camp.

Along the way, not only the capital, but also some scholars and civilians followed the team, with their families and their families, and their families, and headed for the Guide Mansion.

Emperor Tianqi became curious, so he asked Zhang Jing to find a scholar who followed him to ask about his journey.

This man is over fifty years old, wearing a lumber scarf and a Confucian shirt. When he saw Emperor Tianqi, he saluted.

I was still very excited when I saw the emperor. The scholar said, "Student Deng Tiancheng, I have met Your Majesty."

Emperor Tianqi took a sip of tea and looked at him and said, "Get up, don't be too polite. Where is the Qing family from?"

"I am from Beizhili."

"Is it a scholar?"

"No, it's a juren."

Emperor Tianqi said in surprise: "Since he is a juren, is he going to take the imperial examination?"

"If the exam is not taken, the students are older and cannot pass the exam."

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help asking again: "Then why don't you participate in the selection of officials in the Ministry of Personnel?"

According to the rules, juren can participate in the selection of officials. Of course, they are usually only given to a small official such as a county magistrate, chief clerk, or a teacher.

This kind of official position is at the level of deputy county magistrate or director of the education bureau in later generations, but in this era, scholars are not very despised, and the county is too small.

Deng Tiancheng smiled and said, "Most of the local servants are slick, and students are unwilling to join them."

What he said was high-sounding, but in fact he meant he looked down on him.

After all, families who can pass the imperial examination must have a good family background. The so-called "Great Confucian scholars" talk and laugh, but no contact with each other, the deputy county magistrate... scared...

Emperor Tianqi was not clear about it, and did not see through Deng Tiancheng's thoughts, so he said, "Since that's the case, what are your plans for going to Guide Mansion this time?"

"His Highness of the King of Xin respects the wise and the poor, and the students come to serve, and are willing to help them."

Emperor Aoki said in surprise: "You want to help him?"

"Of course, among my confidants, there are three strategies for governing the people. If you get one, you can be at peace with the world."

Emperor Tianqi took a breath: "But you never governed the people before."

Deng Tianchengdao: "The way to govern the people is not to be with the clerks, but to use scriptures as the art of governance."

Using classical techniques as the treatment technique...

Emperor Tianqi said: "What kind of sutra is it?"

"Four Books and Five Classics."

Emperor Apocalypse: “…”

He could see that Deng Tiancheng still seemed very respectful to him, but behind his respectfulness, he was also proud.

"In this way, are you going to assist my emperor brother?"

"Of course, there are many wise men in Guide Mansion. Although the students have some knowledge, they are always one mountain and one mountain high. Even if they cannot be favored by His Highness Xinwang, Guide Mansion is now peaceful and has a great atmosphere of great governance, and students live there very well."

Emperor Tianqi said: "How can we prove that there is a great atmosphere of reign in King Xin?"

"That's because King Xin governs the people with benevolence and righteousness, and there are also a gathering of wise men in Guide Mansion."

Emperor Aoki felt that he was in a circle with him.

"After all, Guide is in the Henan Provincial Administration and I think you have to be careful. There are too many bandits there, so it is safer to Beizhili."

Deng Tiancheng smiled and said, "Have you not read the report? His Highness King Xin performed his benevolence and righteousness, and the people were educated, so naturally they refused to rebel. However, the great sages such as Wen Tiren assisted His Highness King Xin, so naturally the people were happy and the people were grateful and they were too late. How could they dare to make trouble?"

"And as for those stubborn bandits, it's okay. There are also many talented people in Wangwei. Among them, the students admire Wang Wenzhi the most. Wang Wenzhi is really a Confucian general who is unparalleled. He sanctioned the army and horses, defeated the bandits, and beheaded countless people. With such a person, Guide Mansion will naturally be as solid as a god."

Emperor Tianqi suddenly didn't want to continue chatting. He pursed his lips, as if he was patient, and nodded and said, "Okay, go."

"Today, Your Majesty meets the students, and the students have another word..."

Emperor Aoki waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm tired."

Deng Tiancheng said, "Your Majesty, the students' advice is related to..."

"Get out!" Emperor Aoki was furious.

Deng Tiancheng's expression changed. He had heard that His Majesty was about to see him, but he thought that this foolish monarch was always quite tactful, so he first answered the question of Emperor Tianqi, and said half of this. In the next paragraph, it was time to show his level of persuasion.

Who knows...

This foolish lord...

Deng Tiancheng was taken out.

As a coachman, Zhang Jingyi actually still has the responsibility of garrison. When he saw Emperor Tianqi being furious, he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, why bother to get angry? It's not good if you get angry."

Emperor Tianqi said angrily: "Damn it, after saying it a few times, he insisted on not listening and insisted on me scolding him. I came to him to ask about the incident, and didn't I ask him to scold me. Am I so despicable?"

Zhang Jingyi also understood that Emperor Tianqi would get angry and smiled and said, "It's just a corrupt scholar, why take it seriously."

"The problem is that there are so many corrupt scholars in the world." Emperor Tianqi seemed to think it was boring to curse, so he said, "I'm going to bed and set off tomorrow morning."

Deng Tiancheng was scolded and returned to the team he was with. Naturally, many people came to ask about his experience.

Deng Tiancheng cursed: "It's not advisable for me, so... Fortunately, I made a wise choice."

When the vast number of people entered Henan, the journey became shocking.

There are thousands of miles of barren land, with almost no people along the way, and most of the fields are already deserted, and there are very few smoke from cooking fires in the villages along the way.

Therefore, everyone lamented that people's livelihood was difficult. The places where the disasters were suffered this year were mainly in Guanzhong, but Henan... Although it is the Central Plains, the evil nature is in the evil nature. Other places suffer from disasters every year, but Henan has it every year. No matter how it is water, drought, locust soup, no matter which one can fall into it.

Emperor Tianqi saw this and didn't know how to face it. When Zhang Jing saw it, he couldn't help but sigh. He had just walked out of the bad mood among his coachman, but now he saw the bones on the road along the way and the ruined and deserted village. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Go a little further and cross the Yellow River.

Then a student from the teaching team came to report: "Mr....is amazing. A group of scholars left the team and headed towards Qi County first."

Zhang Jingyi was anxious: "Who are there?"

"There are hundreds of people, the leader of Deng Tiancheng. When the students saw them going first, they felt unstable, so they rode their horses to chase them and let them follow the team."

"But Deng Tiancheng said that other places are indeed dangerous, but before that was Qi County, he laughed at the students, saying that the students had not read the report of King Xin? King Xin had already reported that Wang Wenzhi had led his army to defeat the bandits, and the bandits had long been defeated. Now there is Wang Wenzhi leading his army to station in Qi County, which is as solid as a god. They go first, so it is natural for them to be safe."

Zhang Jingyi said: "After that being said, I should persuade you, but who knows if there is any danger? Forget it, I will report to Your Majesty."

As he said that, Zhang Jingyi went to see Emperor Tianqi.

Emperor Tianqi was surrounded by a large group of ministers. When people talked about the appearance of the vast land in Henan, they were sighing.

When Emperor Tianqi saw Zhang Jing coming, he asked, "What, what's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, Deng Tiancheng and others, more than a hundred scholars, were excited to go first and heading towards Qi County."

Emperor Aoki looked bad: "Let them go."

Liu Hongxun, the Minister of Rites, said with a gaze: "Your Majesty, don't worry, your Majesty, the army and horses of the king have long recovered Qi County. These scholars are anxious, and want to take the lead. This is understandable. If you believe that Wang Wei is here, you will definitely not make any mistakes."

The ministers nodded one after another.

To be honest, Wang Wenzhi, who was promoted by King Xin, is now very popular in the capital for defeating the bandits in Qi County, and has various versions. People imagine Wang Wenzhi as a character like Zhuge Liang, with a feather fan and a lunar scarf, strategizing and wise plans to defeat the enemy.
