Chapter 1926: Where is the intention

Looking at the servant who suddenly rushed in recklessly, Xia Yan was displeased at first, but after hearing the servant's words, Xia Yan couldn't help frowning.

Imperial College?

What does the Imperial College cause trouble with him?

Xia Yan was a little confused.

Because for him, although the Imperial College has something to do with the Ministry of Rites, the servant was so nervous. Is this reaction too much?

In addition, how could the Imperial College cause trouble? And it was so big that there were people setting fires? This is really unreasonable.

Xia Yan was full of doubts and subconsciously glanced at Ye Chunqiu, but Ye Chunqiu still looked calm, as if he was watching the fun, and was looking at him with a smile.

Suddenly, Xia Yan realized something.

It must be Ye Chunqiu again. No wonder this guy was so peaceful in the hall today. It probably had a back seat. The Imperial College riot must be the conspiracy this guy made to win.

That's right, it must be.

Xia Yan had already convicted Ye Chunqiu in his heart, but at this moment, he heard the servant continue to say: "There was an uproar in the Imperial College because of the abolition of the new system, so someone took the lead in a riot. The Imperial College Priest brought the officials to suppress the matter. Unexpectedly, the matter worsened. Hundreds and thousands of prison students shouted that the court should not change the orders every day, and they also said that they should severely punish the master and must not abolish the new system. They were like crazy and fought with the officers of the Imperial College. Shuntian Prefecture had sent people, but there were too many prison students who caused trouble. Now it has caused a disaster. I heard that dozens of people have died and injured."

Xia Yan's expression was still stable, but suddenly changed. His body trembled suddenly, and his whole body shivered.

You should know that in the past, the people who caused troubles have always been targeted by Ye Chunqiu, but Ye Chunqiu had long since left the civil servants and belonged to the ranks of royal family and nobles, so naturally they didn't care about these people. Ye Chunqiu could not care about how they targeted Ye Chunqiu.

But...Who expected that at this time, these damn students actually turned their guns and pointed them at him, the Minister of Rites.

Wasn't he for their own good? Thinking about it, they were not beating their chests and stuttering, and crying bitterly? Now, now, they actually... want to maintain the new system?

Xia Yan looked at Ye Chunqiu viciously. In his opinion, this must be the devil that Ye Chunqiu made.

So he stared at Ye Chunqiu and said sternly: "Your Highness, how can you do such a thing? Do you know the consequences?"

"What did I do?" Ye Chunqiu asked back. He was not angry, but instead looked innocent.

Seeing Ye Chunqiu like this, Xia Yan wanted to beat someone up.

He grinned and said, "What did you do? Do you still need to ask clearly what you did? Ye Chunqiu incites the prison to cause trouble. Do you know what the consequences will be if you make trouble? What is your intention to do so arbitrarily?"

Ye Chunqiu seemed very calm, and he said seriously: "The crime of Xiabutang being punished by me is really a big deal. However, before Xiabutang convicted me, I dare to ask Xiabutang, but I have thought, can I incite scholars?

This rebuttal question made Xia Yan stunned for a moment.

At the beginning, Qingliu could indeed incite scholars. This was an old trick. Xia Yan did a lot of things in the past that fanned the flames behind his back.

But then again, in Shilin, Ye Chunqiu had no room for anything to talk. In Shilin, he had no one-sided feelings for His Royal Highness King Lu.

So... why did Ye Chunqiu fool the students and cause trouble? Are the students and they are all stupid?

Ye Chunqiu still looked innocent and said calmly: "Xiabutang speaks, but it is necessary to make a real case. What about the evidence that I incite scholars? If Xiabutang finds evidence, I, Ye Chunqiu, will naturally come to see me, and you have heard that the people who are causing trouble now are not one or two, nor are they a small group of prison students, but there are thousands of them. This is almost the sum of the prison students. With so many prison students, I, Ye Chunqiu, can I bribe and incite? Xiabutang really respects me too highly. If I had this strength, Xiabutang would not dare to debate with me at the beginning."

Ye Chunqiu's reasonable and well-founded words made Xia Yan confused.

Because he knew that Ye Chunqiu's words were not wrong at all. Even if Ye Chunqiu could incite a small group of prison students and dozens or hundreds of people, it would be impossible to make all the prison students madly maintain the new system and denounce him as the Minister of Rites together.

Xia Yan had a slight face, his expression was very complicated, and he said viciously: "There must be some misunderstanding."

"No misunderstanding!" Ye Chunqiu looked at Xia Yan with a smile, and then said, "Because of this, Xiamen Hall talked freely during the court discussion today. I said that Xiamen Hall is really a righteous man, and he has such courage to abolish the new system! Xiamen Hall, don't you understand until now?"

"Ming... what do you understand?" Xia Yan was still full of suspicion, but a chill in his heart was also inexplicably wailed.

He really didn't understand. He could not imagine that those who were scolding the reform not long ago were now trying to maintain the new system, and even to fight and kill him on the ground in order to maintain the new system. He couldn't understand even more that everything he did was clearly to uphold justice for scholars and all officials agreed, but now it would be so unsuccessful.

Ye Chunqiu shook his head and said, "Xiabutang is still too naive, or Xiabutang has been in the temple for a long time, so he has long forgotten what a scholar is."

Ye Chunqiu looked at Xia Yan with a pity, but in fact, Ye Chunqiu really had a little pity. He smiled and said: "What you see is that scholars always call themselves saints, and you also see countless scholars studying the Four Books and Five Classics hard. You people speak Confucius and Mencius, and keep talking about Cheng and Zhu, but you forget the most important thing, why do scholars study?"

This retort made Xia Yan stunned for a moment. Xia Yan wanted to say that of course it was to read and make sense of truth and to set ambitions in study.

But... this sentence was not said, because at this time, Ye Chunqiu had already sneered: "When Xiabutang was still a scholar, why did he study?"

The next moment, a stream of memory surged up in Xia Yan's mind instantly.
