The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 768
[Chapter 768 Who believes it?]
The right minister of the Ministry of Rites looked at the scene happening in front of him and couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.
However, he had thought about this scene.
Therefore, he was not too at a loss, but followed his original thoughts and slowly said: “Your Majesty and the elders are not optimistic about the changes in the imperial examination. They do not approve of it. The main reason for this matter is that Xin’an Hou is here.” For
some
reason, Marquis Xin’an is always very concerned about the imperial examination and always wants to make some changes in the imperial examination.
If you have any ideas, it would be better to go to Fang Mansion to find Marquis Xin’an.”
After saying this, there was still nothing. Any movement.
Scholars are not stupid.
They all know what it means to fail again and again.
If you leave here, you won’t have such an influence the next time you show up.
What’s more, they haven’t done anything yet.
Just simply showing up here.
Although the Minister of Rites had enough weight, he didn’t even have to say a few words or even a promise to let them leave.
Although these scholars are pedantic, they are not stupid.
They know exactly what they want.
It’s very simple, that is, there cannot be any changes in the imperial examination.
As for who proposed the imperial examination change, who strongly supported it, and who opposed it.
In their eyes, it’s actually not that important at all.
Or, in other words, the process is not important, the final result is important!
Scholars know it better than anyone else.
“Master Tang, it’s not that we are messing around, it’s just the Marquis of Xin’an.”
Standing at the front is the third place in the provincial examination in Gyeonggi Province.
At this moment, he looked at the right minister of the Ministry of Rites in front of him, with an expression that he was hesitant to speak.
After hesitating for a long time, he continued: “What does the Marquis of Xin’an have to do with the imperial examination? We all know that the Marquis of Xin’an is a martial artist, and the Marquis of Xin’an has always focused on money and martial arts. He has never interfered with anything above the court. Many things?
If there is, it is only once, and it is still related to the land. Xin’anhou was the winner of the provincial examination in Gyeonggi Province last year. Forgive the students, with Xin’anhou’s talent, there is no need to do such a thankless job. “
This is of course only one reason.
On the other hand, these scholars simply did not think that Fang Xiu’s energy was enough to influence the court.
Indeed, Marquis Xin’an is the elder of Xiaoge, which can be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
With Zhuxuanzhai’s push, Xin’anhou’s momentum was no less powerful than that of Yanzhuang Yange Lao, whether in Gyeonggi, Jiangnan Road, Central Plains Road, or even Southwest Road.
But
this is just momentum.
What’s more, even Mr. Yan Ge would not be able to act so inexplicably and rashly on the imperial examination, let alone a person like Xin’an Hou who only has interests in his eyes?
Will this change in the imperial examination have any benefit to the Marquis of Xin’an?
After thinking about it, it seems that only the students in the various academies run by his family can get a little benefit from this change in the imperial examination.
But the gain outweighs the loss!
After all, Xin’anhou is Jieyuan!
The right minister of the Ministry of Rites actually didn’t understand what Fang Xiu wanted to do.
He vaguely guessed some possibilities.
For example, if those students from the Liberal Arts Academy can enter the Sixth Division and enter the Dali Temple, they will definitely be a considerable force.
But is this possible?
Whether it is a liberal arts academy or other academies, as long as they are related to the Fang Mansion, they basically only admit children.
The oldest one is only eleven or twelve years old.
What use can such a child be?
Wait until these children grow up to the point where they can enter the court and influence the court.
At that time, just relying on Xin’anhou’s power alone, he couldn’t do anything he wanted to do.
After all, the Marquis of Xin’an is not yet twenty years old, and he is already able to make His Majesty so fearful.
More than ten years later, it is not impossible for the government to gain power.
Moreover, given His Majesty’s age, he may leave Hexi one day.
If the young prince ascends the throne, Marquis Xin’an will be the emperor’s master!
What this means, I’m afraid no one in the world doesn’t know.
In this case, why did Xin’anhou do such a thankless thing?
It makes absolutely no sense logically!
The right minister of the Ministry of Rites stood there, struggling for a long time, but could not come up with a reasonable explanation.
But the words have been spoken.
And we can’t just let these scholars kneel outside the palace like this, right?
What should Your Majesty think?
What should the people of the world think?
What should the civil and military officials above the court think?
What should we think when Xin’an is waiting for a break?
These are all questions.
What’s more, he had already boasted to His Majesty before.
He can handle this matter.
After hesitating for a long time, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites gritted his teeth and made a decision.
He looked at the scholars with an unusually firm expression and said, “I will tell you the truth. I don’t know what the purpose of Xin’an Hou is and what he wants to do.
But there is one thing I can be sure of. This imperial examination incident was done by Xin’an Hou alone.
It is of no use for you to kneel here.
Neither your Majesty nor the elders can do anything about
this matter .
“Excuse me, even the elders don’t know about this matter.”
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a scholar: “The extra numbers of Zhuxuanzhai have been published. Master Tang still pretends to be deaf about this matter.” Do you think you haven’t seen it?
Students have heard that not only us students are reading the newspaper of Zhuxuanzhai, but also His Majesty and several pavilion elders are reading it
every day .
I will still be full of praise in the future!
These words are not arbitrarily guessed by the students, and several cabinet elders personally admitted it! “
This is the truth.
The position of this newspaper is extraordinary.
Although Emperor Chu and the elders had their own sources of intelligence, they also had their own sources of information.
But there are many things published in newspapers that they would not normally notice.
However, these things are published in newspapers, which means that people like to read them and represent the public sentiment.
Therefore, even if the Emperor of Chu and the elders knew a lot of information, they would still read the newspapers.
Moreover, the writers of Zhuxuanzhai are quite skilled. The articles are easy to understand and look very interesting.
Apart from anything else, Mr. Ouyang Ge would read the strange things in the newspapers from time to time.
Even though it is a storybook, it looks extremely interesting.
Therefore, in the eyes of these students, or in the eyes of the people of Chu State.
Zhuxuanzhai actually has a certain status. At a certain stage, many people, especially those outside the capital, thought Zhuxuanzhai was run by the Ministry of Rites.
Since Zhuxuanzhai has published extra numbers.
Mr. Tang, you said that your Majesty and several ministers don’t know
who would believe it?
