Chapter 158 Qian Jun of the Pit Clan(1/2)
Chapter 158 Qian Jun who cheats the clan
"Fan Qing, what do you think we should do?"
"Ah? Well, Your Majesty, I believe that this wind will not last long.
The rules are broken when students discuss politics. The students have no experience in officialdom, do not understand the inner workings, and do not understand His Majesty’s good intentions. It is obvious that they were deceived by outsiders and did wrong things.”
"Ah, yes, yes! Someone must have deceived you. These students study every day, so naturally they cannot understand His Majesty's far-sightedness."
Chen Yan looked at the list of winners in his hand and almost broke into a cold sweat, so he quickly responded and agreed.
"The officials from the Six Ministries have been very close to them recently. What do you think, dear friends?
Li Rixuan, the left and right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has been interviewed by people in the past two days, and someone also visited you yesterday.
You don’t know, right? You all know it too, right? Why didn’t I receive your memorial?
Are you worthy of Commander Li of the Royal Army? His future promotion may very well be hindered by what you have done. Are you worthy of me?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down! I know that I have sinned, and your Majesty forgives me! Your Majesty, I forgive you!"
Hearing Chongzhen's suddenly louder voice and the murderous intent in his words, Li Rixuan quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake.
"Fan Aiqing, you did a good job. I heard that you discouraged the students from going down the wrong path.
Students are the future of Ming Dynasty. As elders, we should establish correct values and outlook on life for them."
"Your Majesty has a far-sighted and far-sighted vision. Naturally, I will not let these small things disturb you."
Fan Fucui stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that he was fine.
Chongzhen talked to the remaining people one by one, some scolded and some praised. These people are basically more comfortable with it now.
The main problem this time was to give them a beating. Don't think that you would be safe if you chose to stay out of things. For one of them who was particularly useless, he made a decisive decision and told them to get out.
"Li Rixuan, the two assistant ministers in the Ministry of Personnel have problems. I don't think you can suppress them anymore.
You have been tired and tired recently, so leave your work to Li Daiwen. I will let Li Banghua teach you when I have time."
"I...I obey your order."
Li Rixuan muttered a few sentences and was speechless.
"Your Majesty, it's already two o'clock in the morning."
"I have already made a decision on this matter. Remember, if you continue to deceive me again and let the matter escalate to an unstoppable level, I will let you go home and farm."
"Your Majesty, please calm down and I will leave."
Several people breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the door together. After walking out of the palace door, they collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
"My back is wet. It's terrible."
"Yes, His Majesty looked at Li Rixuan just now, as if he were looking at a dead person. I was afraid that he would be taken away to jail."
"The behavior of the students this time has really angered His Majesty. It seems that His Majesty really cares about the Royal Army and values it much more than other guards."
"Do you really still think it's because of the Royal Army? Don't you see that His Majesty is telling us that we must be obedient and cannot refute His Majesty's arrangements?"
A few people were chatting while riding back on a small battery. To them, what was a student? What they should care about was Chongzhen's current attitude.
It was obvious that Chongzhen no longer cared about the family. Their quick minds were already thinking of other ways to expand the family.
Only Chen Yan's eyes were full of anger. He never imagined that he had already warned Chen Gui, but that guy was still so stubborn.
Early next morning.
As the curfew was lifted, Qian Jun stood at the palace gate, hesitant.
It seems that there are only a few soldiers guarding the palace gate now. If he had been sitting there alone, it would still not be very safe.
After waiting for a few moments, the second student came, and then the third.
He sat and waited, but did not see Chen Gui. He gritted his teeth and sat at the palace gate.
The guard at the palace gate looked at him and suddenly showed his big white teeth at him, which made him confused.
By the time it was time to go to court, the palace gate was already blocked by students. All the students were silent, wearing scholar's clothes and sitting in a row in front of the palace gate.
"Please give in. If you go to court late and His Majesty gets angry, it will be detrimental to everyone."
"Mr. Sir, if Your Majesty does not allow the military's weightlifting to be returned to the jurisdiction of the six ministries, we will not be able to afford it."
"That's right!"
While there was a commotion, a eunuch rode over at the palace gate.
"Your Majesty has decreed that today's court meeting will be canceled and will be rescheduled for tomorrow."
Then the little eunuch rushed back directly, the palace door was closed, leaving only a group of students, embarrassed and messy.
Before they could express their opinions, a series of voices suddenly came from the people and people watching at the palace gate.
"Look at this group of students. Not only do they look down on the Royal Army, but they also say that the Royal Army that defended the Ming Dynasty is not worthy of the imperial examination!"
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, these are these helpless chickens. Are they the only ones who have the nerve to look down on those sergeants?"
"It's really embarrassing for scholars. I saw in the movie that Governor Lu could hold a sharp knife and kill Jian's slaves on his horse. I wonder if they can ride a horse?"
A group of scholars looked at the people in the capital who suddenly appeared around them, with expressions of confusion and surprise.
This is the gate of the palace. Isn't it strange that they, as members of the imperial family, can come through? How come common people can come here too?
Didn't the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division care about it? Why did they just let them come over?
"We do not mean to look down on the Royal Army, but the imperial examination should have been under the jurisdiction of the six ministries.
And you should have studied the Four Books and Five Classics for many years starting from the provincial examination. The Army has broken the rules and violated the ancestral system."
"Bah, I just don't have money to study, so I want to get a career in the military. Yesterday I said I wanted to join the army, and I agreed without saying a word.
Now that you want them to follow the original system, will you pay for their studies?
"Four Books and Five Classics, do you know how to plant the land? Do you know how to distinguish the five grains?"
"Grains are naturally..."
Scholars in ancient times still had a certain inheritance about farming, so they opened their mouths and answered questions.
"Bah, these scholars just don't want our children to study. They don't even want military households to study! They throw things at them."
"Scholars look down on military households! These scholars are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are worse than the Royal Army!"
Amidst the shouts and shouts, the faces of the students present became increasingly ugly.
How could ordinary people understand these things, and how could they tell the purpose of their meditation?
This is obviously the manpower arranged by the emperor. Just like promoting Lu Xiangsheng and the newspaper, this hand is torturing them.
More importantly, they were being watched by more and more people at this time, and with them came all kinds of bad food.
"Stop it! Is the restricted area of the palace a place for you to throw things around like this?"
The people from the Wucheng Army and Horse Division looked at the attracted crowd and saw that someone was starting to throw stones. They quickly stopped them but did not dare to drive them away.
"Dear scholars, if you are still here disturbing the palace order, I will report it to Your Majesty."
"Report it quickly! Let His Majesty give us an explanation."
"What are you talking about?"
The army soldier guarding the door suddenly widened his eyes when he heard Qian Jun's words. He came over and grabbed Qian Jun's sleeve, staring at him and asking.
Only then did Qian Jun realize that there was a big taboo in what he said, and he quickly changed his words.
"I asked you... to report quickly."
Qian Jun said something tremblingly, but was thrown to the ground by the army soldier and sat down on the spot.
"Wait."
At this time, everyone felt ashamed when facing the comments of the people outside, and just wanted to end it quickly.
But Chongzhen was struggling, so he didn't reply immediately, nor did he give an answer immediately. Instead, he asked the army soldier to ask someone else.
As the sun rises above the pole, the hot sun scorches a group of students.
The soldiers kept asking questions. Several students who were already in an unstable mood stood up and wanted to leave. Qian Jun stopped them. There were only a few people there, so they couldn't let them run away at this time.
"Qian Jun and Chen Gui didn't come. I think they were afraid, so let's go back."
"Yes, Qian Jun, it's just that there are more people taking the imperial examination. You and I will not take the exam, it will still be the same."
"You idiots, if you don't object today, tomorrow the people in the army will be able to take our place, and tomorrow we will be able to take our place as our elders."
After listening to Qian Jun's words, the group of people could only continue to sit quietly, but they could not withstand the constant questioning of the army soldiers on the side.
"If you don't leave, you will be disrespectful to me, His Majesty the Ming Emperor.
If you have any opinions, you can submit a letter to ask for instructions instead of making unreasonable comments here.
If you don’t leave, you will bear the consequences.”
"Please report to Your Majesty that the students are opposed to the military imperial examination!"
