For scholars, they have always been in high positions and can easily get official positions.

As a result, I suddenly had an imperial examination and had to rely on the exam to become an official. If I don’t work hard to study and take the exam, I can’t become an official. This...

This is nothing, but we have to compete with poor families and even those mud-legged men...

They are worthy, too?

The emperor was a bit too much.

They also knew that Xu Jing was a killer who charged forward, and the emperor was the manipulator behind the scenes.

This wave is just a test of the views of the ministers, especially those who are in power. The emperor attaches great importance to their views.

Cheng Yu remembered the emperor's insistence on convening a meeting in Huanglong Palace.

Tian Feng remembered the emperor forcibly deposed nine of the family laws.

Xi Zhong remembered the emperor personally determined the Dharma of the Five Classics Saints.

Yuan Si remembered the punctuation marks.

Xun You remembered the emperor's abolishment of private schools and establishment of public schools.

Kong Xian remembered the fact that the emperor allocated funds from Necurry to assist the local government in restoring and rebuilding the academy and the school.

……………………

Recalling the previous emperor's actions, and then linking these operations together, and summing them up until now!

The senior officials took a breath of air - they immediately felt that this set of fists was clearly a series of punches made by the emperor.

The emperor had already finished the previous punch and achieved considerable results. Now he has gathered all his strength in the last punch and prepared to decide the outcome with one punch.

How long ago did His Majesty the Emperor start planning this move?

This is clearly a continuous progression. Whenever they think the emperor may end here, His Majesty the Emperor will sneer and tell them - this is just the beginning.

This is not over yet!

So this wave began again.

Tian Feng rushed into the Shangshutai official office and looked at Cheng Yu, who had a deep private injustice.

"Did you know in advance?"

"have no idea."

"I don't know either."

"What do you think?"

"What do you think?"

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

"What do you want to say?"

"You tell me what you want to say first."

"I dare not say anything."

"Me too."

The two looked at each other speechless again.

They really dare not say anything. For them, it would be too dangerous if they wanted to say something.

Cheng Yu must consider himself and his family.

Tian Feng also needs to consider himself, his family and Tian Rou.

At the core decision-making level, if they sing opposites with the emperor or sing opposites on such issues, the problem will be quite serious and they dare not.

After thinking about it, the two of them dared not say anything after all, so they decided to continue to wait and see the situation.

They disagree very much, but they dare not express it directly. They can only watch the development of the situation and watch the success or failure-

As long as the emperor does not clearly ask them to express their opinions, they will not speak.

Or they can't speak even if the situation has not reached that point.

Xi Zhong, Xun You and Guo Jia discussed this matter privately, and they acknowledged the development of the matter and decided to continue to wait and see without saying a word.

Guo Hong and Qiao Rui naturally didn't say a word. They felt that no matter how the emperor did, they would not harm the interests of their families.

The ministers and ministers of the Shangshutai looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn’t dare to say a single fart.

No one understands better than them how powerful the emperor's power and pressure are. If he goes against such an emperor, he is purely an old birthday boy who is hanged and tired of living.

But this situation is really...

Anyway, the people below were surging, and the wave of resistance was wave after wave.

They didn't dare to speak, so they just watched it get better and see how this matter should end.

The core decision-makers of the Guo-Wei Empire decided to remain silent collectively, wait and see the situation, and then see how the result was.

Except for Xu Jing who became the vanguard, the entire upper-level leadership organization of the Guo Wei regime was silent due to concerns about its own status and conflicts in his heart.

At present, only looking at Luoyang City, a large number of middle and low-level scholars and officials have reached a consensus with the scholars in the Imperial Academy and achieved connection.

Their voices are very loud.

Among them, Wei Shen, the doctor of the Ministry of War, Qu Chu, the official of the Ministry of Works, Qi Yuan, the doctor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Ma Miao, the chief of the Ministry of Finance, etc. were the main voice actors and organizers.

They collaborated with each other and organized protests to establish a very effective protest command system.

They walked in the streets and alleys to publicize Xu Jing's sins, slander and vilify them, and slammed many things that had nothing to do with them and tried hard to put Xu Jing's head.

Things that were not originally mentioned can be said vividly, just like they were watching in person.

Especially after the spread of Xu Jing's suggestion that the emperor [destruction and enactment of imperial examinations], this wave of anti-Xu Jing quickly climbed to a new peak.

In addition to mental blows, this blow has risen to the physical level.

Xu Jing's residence in the capital was besieged by scholars. They besieged Xu Jing's residence with stones, earth, and wood. Xu Jing's family was so scared that the door was closed and he dared not go out.

The scholars were still not satisfied, and they held sticks or used large stones to attack the gate of Xu Jing's mansion, trying to destroy Xu Jing's house, rushed in and attacked Xu Jing's family, and destroyed his house hard, harshly hitting his spirit.

This scared Xu Jing's family to block the door and reinforce all exits, so as not to be really affected by these crazy scholars.

Xu Jing once asked Luoyang County Magistrate to intervene in this matter, but Luoyang County Magistrate, who was born in a scholar, saw that the emperor was in a bad light and felt that the emperor would probably have to compromise. At this time, he would not stand up to help Xu Jing share anything.

So the excuse of the road being congested and unable to move forward, the Luoyang County Magistrate ignored the matter at all.

And at this chaotic stall, suddenly, a rumor about the "Four Great Masters of Confucius, Yuan, Xun and Jia also participated in this plan and supported the emperor's policy of abolishing the imperial examination" suddenly spread among the scholars.

The scholars who fought were shocked and then were deeply saddened.

Headed by Wei Shen, Qu Chu, Qi Yuan, Ma Miao and others, they soon remembered the fact that these four major families were able to marry the royal family after betrayed the interests of those top families.

A while ago, the wedding of the emperor's second son and Yuan's daughter mobilized the entire Luoyang City.

The other three families also married the emperor's family, agreed on a marriage date, and waited for the children to get married when they became adults.

These four families have also received hereditary title guarantees without demotion, which can be said to be treated as a retirement with the country.

This rumor tells everything with a nose and eyes.

It is said that in order to repay the emperor's kindness and even obtain more benefits, the four major families took the initiative to assist the emperor in developing the policy of "abolition of the imperial examination and establishment of the imperial examination", and then introduced Xu Jing to be a scapegoat, and they watched the show leisurely.

Because this matter is very reasonable and is very likely to happen, scholars also widely believed that these four major families have been bound to the royal family, so once this rumor became [truth] immediately.

The soldiers who had already been sieging Xu Jing's mansion were divided into five groups.

He stayed at the gate of Xu's mansion and continued to attack the gate of Xu's mansion. The other four routes were led by Wei Shen, Qu Chu, Qi Yuan and Ma Miao to go to the residences of Kong, Yuan, Xun and Jia in Luoyang, and then began an angry siege without saying a word.

The four disciples looked at the annoyed scholars with a confused look on their faces. They were so scared that they quickly closed the door and called for support.

Except for the Kong family who did not directly attack the scholars because of their special status, the other three families were treated the same as the Xu family.

Stones, soil blocks, dirty water, ink, etc. can be smashed hard, sprayed hard, scolded angryly, and so on.

What are despicable, shameless, ungrateful, and burning bridges across rivers and so on? They are so rude.

Some people used pens to write articles on the walls of their mansions, scolding these families for being false benevolent and righteous, betraying the interests of scholars and seeking credit from the emperor, wagging their tails and begging for mercy, etc.

Because Confucius was protected by Confucius, the scholars led by Wei Shen did not dare to commit violence, so they never knew where to build a large portrait of Confucius painted on paper and carried it on the door of Confucius' mansion.

Then a group of people sat quietly, staring at the gate of the Confucius Mansion angrily, and asked the people from the Confucius Mansion to come out and give them an explanation.

"Can the descendants of Confucius do such a slutty thing?"

Under Wei Shen's leadership, Wei Shen shouted, and they shouted one by one, one by one, with a loud voice and a magnificent momentum. It felt like this momentum was about to shake the Kong family's wall.

Wei Shen said that if Kong did not give any explanation, we would not leave. We would just sit here to see when you will come out.

The sudden outbreak of rumors and the scholars' actions were incredibly fast, so that when the four masters of Confucius, Yuan, Xun and Jia were all confused when they learned about this matter.

We also realized this incident not long ago, and we didn’t know anything before. Why did we help the emperor come up with this policy?

We are also scholars, and we are also victims, okay?

How could we help the emperor do such a thing?
