The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 766

[Chapter 766 The Kneeling Scholars]

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

Not only Emperor Chu, but also Liu Cheng and the four adults also widened their eyes, and their hearts began to beat violently involuntarily.

They understand what this sentence means and what possibilities are behind it.

Emperor Chu took a deep breath, forced to calm down his emotions, looked at the eunuch, and asked: “How many people?”

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

If Fang Xiu is really determined to go to hell on this road, then just sending a few people can kill him.

After all, there are people who belong to him both inside and outside the palace.

Except for these civil servants who have no power to restrain a chicken and are useless.

Only at this moment did Emperor Chu truly feel 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 a powerful power in his hands, received completely disproportionate treatment, then his heart would be unbalanced.

When the eunuch saw this scene, he felt a little strange in his heart.

Why do His Majesty and the adults look so panicked?

He was startled for a moment, and realized that there seemed to be something wrong with his wording. He hurriedly changed his words and said: “Your Majesty, there are quite a lot of people. I didn’t see clearly for a while. They all seemed to be scholars.

When I came, there were already many of them .

A few people are kneeling outside the palace. It seems to be because of something.”

The eunuch showed a thoughtful expression on his face. After a long time, he said: “It seems to be because of some changes in the imperial examination. I don’t know the specific things.”

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

In the past, it would have been a big deal for so many scholars to kneel outside the palace.

If it fails, it will be recorded in the history books, and many years of reputation will be ruined in one fell swoop.

In the end, the reputation of a foolish king is inevitable.

After all, whether it is Chu State or other dynasties, scholars are the most important!

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 that important!

Emperor Chu took a deep breath to calm down his emotions, raised his eyes to look at the other pavilion elders, and asked: “What do you think about this matter?”

Several pavilion elders and the Minister of Rites looked at each other. They glanced at each other but said nothing.

After the previous experience, they had more or less figured it out in their hearts. They knew that the key to this matter lay in Xin’anhou!

The reason why His Majesty behaves like this is in all likelihood related to Xin’an Hou.

With the current power of Xin’an Hou, it is not impossible to threaten His Majesty.

Moreover, with Xin Anhou’s character, he can really do this.

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

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

At the same time, they are not newcomers to 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 incident 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 Emperor Chu, stood upright, bowed respectfully, and said: “Your Majesty, I am willing to appease the scholars, but I need a word from your Majesty. .”

When Emperor Chu heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, apparently guessing what he wanted.

But he still asked: “Speak.”

The expression of the Minister of Rites was extremely serious, and he saluted again and said: “I hope that your Majesty can inform me, inform the scholars and scholars in the world, about this change in the imperial examination Who is going to have his own way?”

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

When the Minister of Rites saw this scene, he seemed to understand something and hurriedly changed his words: “What I mean is who proposed this change in the imperial examination, who proposed it, and who presented it to His Majesty.”

Although the meaning is the same .

Yes, but when you say it differently, 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.” When

the three pavilion elders heard the word “Fang Xiu”, they looked at each other and became more sure of their inner feelings. idea.

Everyone couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.

Fang rest, Fang rest.

I knew he would cause trouble, but I didn’t expect that he would cause trouble like this!

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

The Minister of Rites also thought the same thing. After hearing what Emperor Chu said, he bowed again and said, “I understand, Your

Majesty. Please leave first.”

Emperor Chu’s expression was very indifferent, he waved his hand and said another word: “Yes.”

“I excuse you!”

The Minister of Rites saluted, turned and left.

After walking out of the Yangxin Hall, he walked straight towards the palace gate.

Everything is not much different from usual.

It was still very quiet inside and outside the palace.

The eunuchs, maids, and imperial guards all performed their duties, and no one neglected their duties.

But when the Minister of Rites looked at them, he felt a chill running through his body.

Somehow, he always felt like these people were paying attention to him from time to time.

It seems a bit like surveillance.

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

Even though he kept telling himself that it was impossible.

Fang Xiu is not yet so powerful.

After all, Fang Xiu is still a child, how could he do such a thing.

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

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

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

He is also the little prince’s master.

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

It does not seem to be a particularly difficult thing to understand that His Majesty is very afraid of a powerful minister.

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

The next second, what happened in front of him shocked him.

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

No one made the slightest move.

But the sense of oppression they brought was comparable to that of thousands of troops!

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

But in his opinion, that’s the best it can be.

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