Chapter 1923: Shameless

Zhang Jin is really angry. These eight-legged essays have been reorganized. Not long ago, wasn’t they good? But in just a few days, such recurrences have occurred again.

At the beginning, Ye Chunqiu himself used violence to promote the eight-legged essay reform. Since you have used violence, you can just keep promoting it violently. Why bother to be cautious in the middle of the journey and start to cherish your feathers? Now, Ye Chunqiu is starting to hesitate like this. Isn’t this clearly providing courage to those who are dissatisfied?

Now Xia Yan has suddenly become a glorious. Among the officials, how many people secretly talked with him. In this way, the opposition began to appear again. Should this new system continue?

Ye Chunqiu glanced at Zhang Jin calmly and said, "Oh, this matter? I know, but I also think what Xiabutang said makes sense. Brother Zhang, we don't have to do it alone. Many things, if the public is too angry, they will eventually shoot themselves in the foot. I have figured it out now. After all, this is the capital and the emperor's feet. It's better to reason in everything. If they want to discuss it, then let's discuss it. If it really makes sense, why should we persist?"

"That's not what you said at the beginning!" If Zhang Jin was angry just now, he was furious by Ye Chunqiu's words. He said angrily: "What you said at the beginning was that you must stick to this matter no matter what. OK, it's only been a few days, and you will regret it in less than three months. Ye Chunqiu, you are such a bastard."

Now, the only one who dares to point at Ye Chunqiu's nose and scolds him for being a bastard is probably Zhang Jin.

Ye Chunqiu still looked distracted, and even smiled and said calmly: "Brother Zhang calm down, why do you have to get so much heat? I did think so at the beginning, and think about everything in a good way! But I really didn't expect that at that time, all the officials of our Ming Dynasty actually opposed this new system so much, so how many people behind them are opposed?"

"The so-called governance must always be in accordance with the public's opinion, and the right way is to follow the will of the people! Brother Zhang, I have decided, and I have to think about this matter."

Zhang Jin was stunned. He really didn't expect that Ye Chunqiu had really changed his mind. It would be fine if he changed his mind. Now he is still embarrassed to say such things?

This person is shameless. What did you, Ye Chunqiu, say? Isn’t it shameless to say such things now?

He was straightforward and naturally furious, so he smiled coldly and said, "One person surnamed Ye, you can do it. Today, I, Zhang Jin, have seen what it means to change the order every day. OK, very good, so I said goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Ye Chunqiu to explain.

Ye Chunqiu did not chase him this time. He just picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea. He could not see the clouds and clearness in his eyes, and there was a smile on his face.

Three days later, the ten-day limit finally arrived. On this day, Ye Chunqiu got up very early as usual, dressed neatly, sat in a carriage, and arrived at the Meridian Gate in full spirit.

It was early morning and the weather was chilly, but many officials had gathered here.

The atmosphere today is obviously a bit different. Everyone knows what they are going to discuss today. Some people privately speculate that there will definitely be a storm today. His Highness Lu is in a disadvantageous position and will definitely be angry, but they don’t know how this matter will end in the end.

However, some people are very energetic. Before, everyone was afraid of making a first bird and kept swallowing their anger. Now, Xia Yan's righteous words have made many people happy.

When everyone entered the palace with different thoughts, Zhu Zaiyao had already sat high here.

This little emperor was full of worries. He even didn't sleep all night yesterday. Even though he was young, he still smelled a bad smell. Gu Dayong had already reported secretly that many ministers in the capital have gathered together to denounce the eight-legged essay reform, and the famous scholars and scholars who used to hide dormant, but now they are starting to be brave.

After all, many people have seen hope now, and once they have hope, the disheartened person now feels that the dawn has appeared and has begun to become restless.

Such a big thing is to reorganize, which took countless efforts in the palace. If it ended in vain, what was finally shaken was the prestige in the palace. This is by no means a joke. Although Zhu Zaiyao was young, he had been educated by the crown prince since childhood. How could he not know this?

Even though he had encountered such a big difficult situation before, wasn’t Yafu still behind him? But now, even Yafu has been shaken, which has made him more and more uneasy.

At this time, all the officials had bowed and shouted long live.

Zhu Zaiyao had a pale face and said, "Let's just flat."

As he said that, Xia Yan, who had already prepared, went out and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report. Since what I am discussing today is the eight-part reform, but I heard that there are countless people who are dissatisfied with the reform. I..."

He began to talk in a nagging manner. In the past ten days, he had already done countless homework. At the same time, he also reported the suggestions of the Imperial College and the prefectures of various prefectures.

School officials are the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty's education. Because the Ming Dynasty relied on school officials to promote the values ​​of the court, these people were the most dissatisfied with the eight-legged essay reform.

Xia Yan seemed very heartbroken: "Just a few days ago, Zhang Hua, the teacher of Jishui in Jiangxi, hanged himself because of this. Before his death, he wrote a book of ten thousand words and begged His Majesty to read out the book of ten thousand words in court."

Zhu Zaiyao immediately said: "No need to read it anymore. After the court discusses, I will naturally see it."

Xia Yan then said with tears flashing in his eyes: "The Four Books and Five Classics, and the Eight Essays, are the general trend. Your Majesty... If you continue to act alone, I am afraid that the people in the world will be disappointed. I..." He began to choke up, knelt down fiercely, and said with a hoarse voice: "I beg Your Majesty to follow the good, maintain the old system, restore the original imperial examination, and dismiss the new system to peace the world!"

After he finished speaking, some of the court officials also came out and said, "I ask Your Majesty to dismiss the new system to ensure peace to the world."

"Please..."

So more and more people worshiped, and the eight-legged essays involved faith. Ye Chunqiu did this to break their faith. Now that he saw hope, what else can I say? In the herd mentality, someone took the lead, and naturally, everyone responded happily.
