Speaking of Xia Yan, the Minister of Rites, his status is prominent, and his qualifications are beyond ordinary people. He is also a well-known figure in the court here.

This person has never had any unconventional remarks against Shang before, but he complained about the old eight-legged system this time.

This is understandable. You must know that in this court, many ministers rely on the eight-legged essay to obtain scholars.

Now, okay, the eight-legged essays have been reorganized, so what should these old bones say, those who have passed the eight-legged essay exam?

Xia Yan also had complaints in his heart, and most of them didn't hold it back this time. He was cautious about his words and actions because he could tolerate it. After all, this was implemented by His Majesty and Wang Hua. He could only care too much about it. It was fine if he didn't care about it. Moreover, as the Minister of Rites, even if he objected, it would be useless.

But the eight-legged essay reform is completely different. This relationship is too big. His temperament is quite gentle. But every day, those new officials who rely on the new policies to win scholars are wandering in front of him. Can you still pretend that they have not seen it?

This time, Xia Yan directly taught these new officials a lesson in the Ministry of Rites, which shows that he wanted to vent his anger.

I can't bear it anymore.

In fact, in my heart, Ye Chunqiu can understand Xia Yan, but... this also gave Ye Chunqiu an opportunity.

Ye Chunqiu's eyes lit up, he looked at Chen Rong with a meaningful look, and then said, "Brother Chen, it seems that you should make a difference!"

"This?" Chen Rong was stunned for a moment. He found it difficult to understand what Ye Chunqiu said.

Isn’t it just a dispute? Xia Butang is also a dignified Shangshu. People scold the eight-legged essay reform and despise the new official. Although it makes people feel stuffy, what can they do?

Ye Chunqiu shook his head with a smile and said, "In the past, the law of the ancestors was like a basket. Anything that was not in line with the wishes of scholars would be someone in Shilin, which would be a big fuss, which would turn the world upside down, and later, the ministers in the court became cautious in their words and actions. Why? They were afraid of causing Shilin's criticism."

Seeing that Chen Rong still seemed to understand, Ye Chunqiu continued, "Look, for more than a hundred years of Ming Dynasty, who dared to provoke scholars? In fact, this is the reason."

"The court has so many stubborn policies, which are formed because of this, and it is too big to lose."

"Since that's the case, it's time for us to use our spear to attack our shield and to use our way to cure our body."

Ye Chunqiu smiled faintly and said, "What happened so big and so shady, the minister of Rites actually despised the new officials so much, criticizing the law and business science to be worthless. I ask you, if you swallow your anger, wouldn't you swallow this? It's nothing to swallow it, but so many people, after studying, taking the imperial examination, and taking the imperial examination, what do you rely on? It's up to you? It's up to you, what do you rely on to be honest? But why are these people looked down upon and despised?"

"Silently, I am just practicing these scholars. Brother Chen, this is not your and my business, it is a matter of thousands of people. You can sit still, but I can't sit still."

Chen Rong seemed to finally understand Ye Chunqiu's thoughts and said, "Just according to Chunqiu's meaning... what should I do..."

"Scholars make trouble, so I need to teach this?" Ye Chunqiu glared at him.

Chen Rong's face turned red, she immediately understood, and said, "Okay, I understand."

Of course he understood, and it would not be possible if he didn't understand. This kind of thing didn't need to be taught.

Since there was something to do, Chen Rong had no leisure to continue chatting with Ye Chunqiu here, so she refused.

When he returned to the poetry club, the first thing Chen Rong did was to gather backbones and prepare for the printing of tomorrow's newspaper.

The article was written quickly, of course, all of which were criticized by this Shangshu.

What is Xia Yan? You think that being a Shangshu is amazing, can you be so contemptuous of others? It is said that you are supporting the poor, but as a elder, it would be fine if you don’t support them. What is your intention to humiliate these new juren and Jinshi like this?

The front page article was roughly made, and on the other hand, many new juren and Jinshi began to connect, which is really a big bully.

You must not swallow this breath.

If you swallow it, it will be awesome. Can everyone still hold their heads up in the future? Oh, why are we inferior? Are the Jinshi and Juren who have been admitted to the examination with their abilities allowed others to practice this way?

The most important thing is that this time, Chen Rong was inspired by the president of the Poetry Society. Chen Rong is not an ordinary person. Everyone knows that he has a close relationship with King Ye Chunqiu of Lu. Behind Ye Chunqiu is the Chief Auxiliary of the Cabinet, and His Majesty!

This alone... has left many people's worries.

The next morning, Xia Yan, the Minister of Rites, got up early as usual, and after washing up, he used some breakfast casually, so he prepared to take a crane cart to the Ministry of Rites Hall to pay duty.

Xia Butang has been in a bad mood these days and is still feeling sulky, so he doesn't like anyone else. Since the eight-legged essay reform, more and more scholars have been learning business and law. In his opinion, how can he tolerate this?

But he was just the Minister of Rites, and many things could not be changed. Now the ministry is filled with a group of new officials who are observing the politics, which makes it annoying to see.

He got on the crane cart and sat on the sofa, thinking about the changes that had happened in the court and the capital over the past few days, and felt very sad.

Fortunately, there are many colleagues in each department who share the same feelings with themselves. Many people who don’t like the new imperial examination are there. Everyone can only enter the temple by placing the eight-legged essay list. These newly promoted Jinshi and Juren are naturally particularly dazzling.

Last night, he had tea with a few old friends and joked a few words, all of which were sarcastic. When talking about these people, he looked disdainful.

He was thinking about it, but the carriage suddenly stopped.

Xiabutang opened the curtain and looked out. It seemed that he had not arrived at the Ministry of Rites. Just as he was about to ask, the driver who was driving the car said, "Sir, there are many people in front of him, blocking the main entrance of the Ministry of Rites..."

Xia Yan frowned, what's wrong? This is not something that anyone else dares to block here.

Xia Yan was angry and couldn't help but say, "Don't the factory guards care about it? Since Ye Chunqiu arrived in the capital, this capital is really messy."

When it comes to Ye Chunqiu suddenly, Xia Yan has accumulated too much dissatisfaction. Where did the so-called new system come from? Isn’t it just Ye Chunqiu!
