Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 467 Those who dare to participate in Enke will be scolded forever!

"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable! The Enke exam doesn't test the words of the saints!"

In the mansion of Zhan Tong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, a group of court officials are gathering here to demote current affairs.

A few days ago, they had just jointly signed a letter requesting the emperor to cancel the Enke. The reason is that the imperial examination is a major cultural and educational event in a country. The elders stand in the court.

Lao Zhu turned them back on the spot: Do you think we like to find more people to serve as officials and pay salaries?It's not that you can't wait to use it, and a business tax only collects a mere 10 taels, what a disgrace to the country!

We have no one to use, so why not open Enke?As for more moral articles... What we want is a shopkeeper who will help us calculate business taxes, so what do those testers do?
These words immediately made these court officials with ghosts in their hearts dripping with cold sweat, and did not dare to say a word.Even though he instigated a few stunned youths to "speak bluntly and sparsely" behind his back, the emperor unceremoniously beat the court staff and dismissed him to go home.

During the Hongwu period, civil servants were not as confident as they were later, and those who dared to tease the emperor took it as an honor to be hit by the court staff.At that time, the civil servants were in power, and the eunuchs who were executing sentences in the palace did not dare to seriously beat the civil servants to death.

And during the Hongwu period, if you were hit by the court stick, you would really be beaten to death!First of all, during the Hongwu period, it was not the eunuchs who ran the court staff, but the emperor's army who was serious and honest. They were Jinwuwei, Yulinwei, Fujunwei, etc. who were as famous as Jinyiwei.

These people have one thing in common: they are all loyal veterans who are devoted to the emperor!As long as the emperor gives the order, they don't care about the sophistication of the world, they fight as they please!
Even if there are a few young ones occasionally, they are mostly nephews of Xungui's family, who first came to practice in the army.These people are born to be deadly enemies with their civil servants, so it's good if they don't secretly ruthless, and they are expected to let the water go?
Anyway, when those few Lengtouqings from Shangshu were deposed and returned to their hometowns, none of them were carried out of Yingtian awake.

The emperor obviously made up his mind, since the way to Shangshu was blocked, they gathered at Zhan Tong's mansion, trying to come up with a practical solution.However, these people's abilities are mediocre after all. If it comes to the means of earning money, or the kung fu of teasing and stumbling behind the scenes, they have passed the trials in the Yuanting competition area in the past, and they are extremely capable.

However, the election was held in the hands of the emperor, and even though they thought they could brainstorm, after a long discussion, they were still helpless.

"Alas! In the past, I was waiting on the court, and I was fighting against Huaixi's lineage...Why am I so helpless now!" Zhan Tong, who was temporarily the leader and commanded the officials, lamented.

Lu Ben at the bottom hastily picked up a cup of tea and covered up his strange expression: At that time, it was Liu Bowen, the sincerity uncle, who commanded all the officials in order to prevent Huaixi from getting bigger, and called him "Qingliu", so that he could be on the same level as Huaixi. The pulse is divided into courts and courts.You, Zhan Tong, are just an uncommon scholar, are you helpless?

"I only hate that Duke of Han, who actually tricked us into defrauding us, making us feel responsible for His Majesty, not to mention that he even took the secondary examination of this scientific examination..."

Some officials gritted their teeth.Everything that Li Shanchang did to them has now turned into a sinister intention of "using deceitful calculations to trick them into clearing their lineage".After all, Lao Li used to be the leader of Huaixi, Qingliu's arch-rival, and he was able to use such a strategy, which also echoed his image of Li Shanchang as "the first civil servant in the founding of the country".

Not to mention, the book "Requesting the Establishment of a Taxation Department to Collect Business Taxes" was dedicated to His Majesty by Li Shanchang.First let His Majesty be furious because of too little business tax, and then push the boat forward to present the "Tax Book", and finally, in the name of forming a tax department, use them as a stepping stone to invite credit to the Holy One.

Poison, so poisonous!
I don't know how many times this group of people started to gnash their teeth and criticize Li Shanchang.He completely forgot that it was because he was too stingy and only paid 10 taels of tax, and he was unwilling to shed more blood. This made Li Shanchang's plan fail, and the emperor was furious.

"For the current plan, the only way to get rid of this difficulty is to incite scholars not to take the exam for the tax Enke of Naluoshizi." Zhan Tong took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind. "After the gentlemen go back, you should still call on me, a scholar, to get to the bottom of it."

"We, disciples of the sages, will never recognize this Enke! We don't test the articles of the sages, but only the strange skills and ingenuity. If such ignorant and virtuous people can stand in the court like me, they will be gentle and dignified Where is it? Where is the ruler of the country?"

"Anyone who participates in this subject is the enemy of Confucianism! This is not a matter of the government, but a matter of our Confucian legal system! But all my Confucian children need to resist this subject!"

"Anyone who dares to participate in this subject will be abandoned by heaven and earth! Abandoned by saints! Children and grandchildren will be scolded forever, and they will never stand up!"

Zhan Tong had a ferocious face, and what he said was ten times more vicious than the most terrifying curse.But the eyes of the other court officials present gradually lit up: Yes!If no one dared to take the exam, wouldn't Enke exist in name only this time?

Enke couldn't do it by himself, so your Majesty can't blame me for waiting!
As a result, this group of court officials who were colluding together acted like birds and beasts.They went back to call friends, write prophecies, and quote articles, which is bound to ruin Enke's reputation this time.Soon, voices came out to smear the Enke: this Enke disrespected the sages, violated the ancestors, tested strange skills and lewd skills, and did tax collection.

This is not a scholar, it is clearly recruiting cruel officials!
If any friends dare to participate in this kind of Enke, they will cut off their righteousness with my fellow scholars, and I am deeply ashamed of the scholars!

The dissemination of words soon became more and more outrageous, and soon not only scholars, but also various rumors appeared among the people: saying that this exam offended the gods and hurt Tianhe, even if they passed the exam, then the The whole family must die, and I can't live for half a year.

What's more, it is said that this exam is a trap deliberately set by Lao Zhu, in order to catch all the scum who are immoral and greedy for official positions in the world.Once he passed the exam, the emperor would immediately change his face and follow Qin Shihuang's example of burning books and burying Confucian scholars, burying all the successful scholars alive.

After all, how could the imperial examination requirements be so low and so easy?Those who can pass the imperial examination are Wenqu stars in the sky!Since it is the selection of Wenquxing in the sky, how can the requirements be so low that even rough people without fame can sign up.

The rumors became more and more outrageous, and the booths registered in front of the Imperial College were unexpectedly empty for several days.Or one or two literati passed by with their hearts moved, and they were also stopped and dragged away by their companions, preventing him from doing such a depraved thing.

There were even those who signed up a few days ago, because of the fearsome people these days, and they were under tremendous pressure, and came to ask if they could cancel their registration.

An Enke actually caused a turmoil in the Ming Shilin, and it was about to become a joke.

The strange thing is that the Yamen Guozijian who was in charge of this matter didn't respond at all.
