The happy life of a prodigal

According to common sense, at this time, shouldn't His Majesty reprimand the little eunuch for being rude?

Why do you ask... what is it?

What happened to His Majesty?

What happened in the palace?

Why do I always feel that His Majesty is not the same after he came back from Jiangnan Road?

What is the problem?

Is it related to Xin An Hou?

For some reason, Elder Ouyang Ge and Elder Liu Ge looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.

Immediately, they all looked at Elder Yan Ge.

Elder Yan Ge seemed much calmer, standing where he was, staring ahead, neither speaking nor showing any expression.

At this time, the eunuch spoke.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there are a lot of people outside the palace!"

Chapter 766 The Kneeling Scholars

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience fell into silence.

Not only Emperor Chu, but also Liu Cheng and the four adults had their eyes widened, and their hearts started beating violently involuntarily.

They understand what this sentence means, and they know what kind of possibility lies behind this sentence.

The Emperor Chu took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, looked at the eunuch, and asked, "How many people?"

Although he asked, he knew in his heart that the number of people was not important.

If Fang Xiu is really determined to go to the dark on this road, then sending a few random people can put him to death.

After all, both inside and outside the palace are his Fangxiu people.

Except for these powerless and useless civil servants.

It wasn't until this moment that the Emperor Chu truly felt the importance of these warriors!

Only then did I really understand why those Wu Xun would do such a thing.

If he himself, with such powerful power in his hands, received completely disproportionate treatment, then his heart would be unbalanced.

Seeing this scene, the eunuch felt a little strange in his heart.

Why do His Majesty and the adults look so flustered?

He was stunned for a moment, and also noticed that there seemed to be some problems with his wording, and hurriedly changed his words: "Your Majesty, there are quite a lot of people, and the slaves didn't see clearly for a while, they all seemed to be scholars.

When the servants came, quite a few of them were already kneeling outside the palace, it seemed because of some reason..."

The eunuch had a thoughtful expression on his face, and he said after a long time: "It seems that it is because of some changes in the imperial examinations, some specific things, the slaves don't know."

When Emperor Chu heard this, he instantly felt relieved, and his whole body breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past, so many scholars knelt outside the palace, it would be a big deal.

If it is not done well, it will be included in the history books, and the reputation of many years will be ruined.

In the end, it is unavoidable to be infamous as a foolish king.

After all, scholars are the most important whether in Chu or other dynasties!

Readers are the most important!

However, at this moment, Emperor Chu realized that he was in front of his throne.

What scholars, what scholars, what reputation, what history books, in fact, are not so important!

Emperor Chu took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, looked up at the other elders, and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"

The elders of the pavilion and the minister of the Ministry of Rites looked at each other, but did not speak.

After the previous experience, they more or less knew something in their hearts. They knew that the key to this matter lies in Marquis Xin'an!

The reason why His Majesty behaved like this is inseparable from Xin'an Marquis in all likelihood.

It is not impossible to threaten His Majesty with the current power of Marquis Xin An.

Moreover, this matter, with Xin Anhou's character, can really be done.

After all... no one knows whether he has a brain disease or not!

The elders did not dare to speak easily, for fear that those words would make His Majesty unhappy.

At the same time, they are not niche students who have just entered the officialdom.

They knew that since His Majesty was unwilling to speak, there must be a deep-seated reason.

It can't be because of the matter itself.

Therefore they cannot speak.

At this point, only the Minister of Rites came forward.

With a serious expression on his face, he looked at the Emperor Chu, stood upright, saluted respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to appease the scholars, but I just need a word from your majesty." .”

When Emperor Chu heard this, he frowned slightly, obviously guessing what he wanted.

But he still asked, "Say."

The minister of the Ministry of Rites had an unusually serious expression, and he saluted again, saying: "I hope that your majesty can inform the minister, the scholars of the world, and the scholars of the world, who is going to do this change in the imperial examination?"

When Emperor Chu heard this, his expression became a little ugly.

Seeing this scene, the servant of the Ministry of Rites seemed to understand something, and hurriedly changed his words: "What I mean is... who proposed this change in the imperial examination, who presented it, and who gave His Majesty the purpose .”

Although the meaning is the same, but the words are different, the feeling is still different.

Sure enough, when Emperor Chu heard this, his expression softened a little, his expression was indifferent, and he only said two words: "Fang Xiu."

The three elders looked at each other when they heard the word Fang Xiu, and they were more sure of their inner thoughts.

Everyone couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

Fang Xiu, Fang Xiu.

I knew that he would cause trouble, but I didn't expect it to be such a disaster!

The three elders all shook their heads and sighed, but their expressions did not change much.

The servant of the Ministry of Rites also thought so, after hearing what the Emperor Chu said, he saluted again and said: "I understand...

Your Majesty, please leave first. "

Chu Huang's expression was very indifferent, he waved his hand, and said in one word: "Quite."

"I retire!"

The servant of the Ministry of Rites saluted, then turned and left.

After walking out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he walked straight to the palace gate.

Everything is not much different from usual.

It was still very quiet inside and outside the palace.

The eunuchs, maids of honor, and imperial guards performed their duties, and none of them neglected their duties.

But the Minister of Rites looked at them and felt a chill all over his body.

For some reason, he always felt that these people were watching him from time to time.

Seems like...a bit of surveillance.

Combined with His Majesty's previous performance, an idea gradually appeared in his mind.

Although he kept telling himself that it was impossible.

Fang Xiu didn't have such a strong power yet.

Fang Xiu was still a child after all, how could he do such a thing.

But on the other hand, he couldn't help but think of many things that Fang Xiu had done recently.

Which one is not shocking, which one is not unexpected.

Moreover, he is also the general of the Shenji Battalion, and he has been very close to the British Duke recently.

He is also the master of the little prince.

No matter what aspect he is in, this young man who is not yet 20 years old is enough to be called a powerful minister!

It doesn't seem to be a particularly incomprehensible thing that His Majesty fears a powerful minister.

Thinking of this, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites took a deep breath, his expression gradually became solemn, and he walked out of the gate slowly.

In the next second, what happened in front of him shocked him.

Thousands of scholars in long robes, holding the Analects of Confucius, knelt on the ground with unusually firm expressions, and no one made a sound.

No one made a single movement.

But...the sense of oppression they bring is comparable to thousands of troops!

Although he has never been on the battlefield, he has never seen the scene of thousands of horses galloping on the battlefield.

But from his point of view, it was nothing more than that.

He wanted to speak, but looking at the scene in front of him, he was choked up and couldn't speak a word!

Chapter 767 Don't Believe

These are the scholars of Da Chu, these are the scholars of Da Chu, and these are the pillars of Da Chu!

No superfluous words, no superfluous actions.

It's just an Analects of Confucius, other words, needless to say, everything is in the way of a sage!

Scholars are silently resisting in this way, silence is better than sound, and no action is better than any action!

Within a day, the whole world will know about it!

Scholars all over the capital knelt outside the palace, just begging for justice for the scholars!

This......

The right servant of the Ministry of Rites glanced at the scholar who was kneeling on the ground, and his eyes were moist.

The boy has gold under his knees.

As the servant of the Ministry of Rites, who is responsible for the education and etiquette of the world, no one knows better than him how much courage and struggle these scholars need to achieve such a level.

Anyone who sees this scene will be moved.

Even Fang Xiu, the insane Wu Xun, would be moved to tears when he saw it!

The right servant of the Ministry of Rites thought so, and he had already strengthened his thoughts in his heart.

Even if I offend Marquis Xin An because of this matter, and Marquis Xin An who has power over the government, I will not hesitate to do so!

He is not speaking for himself, nor for the court, nor for the scholars, not for the scholars, he is speaking for the people of the world!

The imperial examination is the foundation, if there is no imperial examination, what will happen to the people in the world! ?

The way of the sage, the words of the sage, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, the six arts of a gentleman, these are the foundations!

It's all top priority!

The imperial court may not have him as a minister of rites, it may not have silver taels, it may not have soldiers, it may not have military honors, it may not have honors, but it cannot do without imperial examinations, it cannot do without these scholars!

The right servant of the Ministry of Rites shouted frantically in his heart, but his expression didn't change at all.

Because he knew that, as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, he needed to maintain the dignity of a servant of the Ministry of Rites.

In front of the scholars, he had to show his demeanor and let the scholars know that scholars should not be insulted!

The imperial examination cannot be changed easily!

No matter who it is, even if Marquis Xin An surrounds them with the Shenji Battalion and surrounds the Ministry of Rites, there must be no change!
