Xia Yan was very angry and sad, but after hearing what Wang Can said, his excitement seemed to be extinguished all of a sudden.

Wang Can's words finally calmed down, and at the same time made him realize an important issue. All of this was obviously planned by the superiors and must have been determined. Since that is the case, it must be done no matter what.

And he Xia Yan was just implementing a procedure in this matter. Even if he was gone, someone else could complete this procedure, but...

Even if Xia Yan retired and returned home, he couldn't avoid this matter. As Wang Can said, I'm afraid the Jinyiwei was already waiting outside, since...

Since they dare to change their eight-legged essays, would they still care about the unjust death of the Minister of Rites?

He could have imagined that if he did not follow, the consequences would be extremely serious. This is no longer a matter of conviction by one person, but involves the factory guards. Once a plan is done, it will be a major event for the survival of the entire family. In the historical tide, I don’t know how many bloody examples there have been.

He was still angry just now, but now the flame in his heart was suddenly poured coldly by the water.

He suddenly looked desperate, like a defeated rooster. After a while, he sighed and said quietly: "Is the Ming Dynasty's energy going to be over?"

In his opinion, if the Ming Dynasty changed to the eight-legged essay to obtain scholars, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be over.

Then he laughed, but this smile seemed a little sad, and said, "Since they have to do this, if they die in the world because of this, let him die. What else can you say when you reach this point?"

Shaking his head and looking at the abominable Wang Can, Xia Yan said seriously: "Then, let's issue it. The Ministry of Rites obeys the will."

The newspaper has been released, and the Ministry of Rites has also begun the restructuring of the new imperial examination, and everything is ready.

But when the news came out, the court was in an uproar and the government and the country were shaking.

There were already many scholars in this capital. At this time, the rumbling preaching of gongs and drums had begun. Various notices had been posted in the various yamen. The prefectures and county schools in northern Zhili had begun to gather students and read the sacred orders.

In fact, before reading it, everyone had already learned the news that many scholars were recruited into school, some were beating their chests and feet, some were crying bitterly, and of course, many were secretly happy.

Most of these students who are secretly happy are hopeless to enter the school. If you don’t know that your level is not enough, you will not have any official career in your life. Although you have become scholars, you still want to be a juren and take the imperial examination in your heart, but they know that this is even more difficult than climbing to the sky.

Therefore, many scholars simply started to do other business. When their families were well-off, they simply lie at home and rely on their support. When their families were not well-off, they had to go to a private school to be a teacher, or write calligraphy and paintings to sell them. Some people made accounting accounts for others, and some wrote letters for others.

Now, they have returned to the school that they have been away from for a long time, and they are filled with emotion. They already know that they have failed the exam in their lifetime and have no hope. However, they still don’t know what the eight-legged essay reform has changed. The reason why they are secretly happy is just because of a joke-looking mentality.

The real sadness is those who are willing to make progress. After all, over the years, they have been devoted to these eight-legged essays. They have no desire to eat or eat, and they have lost their lives. As a result... Now suddenly, they are no longer fucking the eight-legged essays.

What else can you expect in this life? What is the meaning of living?

When the people arrived at Minglun Hall, they saw the school officials, and the school officials were all pale. These old school officials were just dejected at this moment and did not even dare to see those scholars.

Xuezheng had already come out and began to read out the new imperial examination system: "The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: The eight-legged art has been in operation for a year, and it has been a hundred and sixty years since the dynasty..."

When I read this, I was suddenly choking and crying, and tears fell on the copied newspaper.

This cry immediately infected the emotions of others here. Many school officials burst into tears. Some of the scholars present burst into tears, and the scene was filled with tears.

After a while, the Xuezheng suddenly sucked his nose and said sternly: "Silent!"

This loud shout finally stabilized Minglun Hall's crying, and he continued to recite with difficulty: "Now I want to implement new policies, reform the old and the new, and I will tell the world..."

It took a full morning for the new system to be interpreted. During this process, many people's tears had dried up, and Xuezheng was even more unable to stand and was helped aside.

Someone beat his chest and fell down, and cried bitterly and said, "The court orders changed every day, which will ruin my life, and I will ruin my life!"

This is indeed true, it is a real loss of life. How many people have spent their entire lives on their hard work? The resentment in their hearts can be imagined.

But some people suddenly felt a glimmer of hope. If they said that their secret joy was just to simply look at the jokes of those first-class second-class students who were arrogant on weekdays, then now, they really saw a glimmer of hope.

The court changed the examination of classics, history, law, business, and... for some people, what they are taking now is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that now everyone is back to a new starting line.

If you are not hardworking enough, or if you don’t have too many talent in eight-legged essays, you will obviously have no hope, but now it’s different, a new opportunity is right in front of you.

And... a few months later, it will be the spring exam, and everyone is eligible to take the exam. What does this mean?

It means that I have another chance. In the future, everyone will start from scratch. This time, who knows whether I can win?

If it is just like this, it is actually not inspiring enough.

Because in theory, people with talent and hard work, even if they don’t take the eight-legged exam, as long as they continue to study with snacks, you may not be his opponent.

But... what really ignites hope is that the Jinshi and Juren recruited this time will reach 30,000.

Thirty thousand...

Thirty thousand people, and they all become officials! Once you become a juren, you can be granted official positions. Although you are the most inconspicuous ninth rank official, you are just...
