Chapter 1920: Hearts are here and there

In this hall, how many people are officials who are under the eight-legged essay to win the scholars?

Xia Yan's words are indeed easy to resonate with people.

You said there is a problem with the eight-legged essay selection, so we all rely on the eight-legged essay to become officials. Which ministers in the court are not like this? Even if you, Ye Chunqiu, is your Taishan Wang Hua, you rely on the eight-legged essay to have today?

Now it's fine. After you have eaten, you smash the pot and need to be restructured. OK, the eight-legged essay cannot defeat good talents. Does it mean that we are mediocre talents? Ye Chunqiu and Wang Hua, what do you say?

You can't answer this question?

A new problem is here. Since you, Ye Chunqiu and Wang Hua, claiming to be good talents, this means that there is no problem with the eight-legged essay who have been a good student!

No problem, why do you need to change it? Where are you trying to put us?

Every word he said was for Ye Chunqiu, and he must have been annoyed, and he was determined to turn against him at this time.

But in fact, he expressed the thoughts of many people. Xia Yan was right. In most cases, most of the people standing here were by writing good essays, and they had the same thing today.

How can this convince people now that they are deposed?

It would be fine if you don’t reason, but you even secretly instructed a group of scholars who have benefited you to come and block me. What’s going on?

Facing Xia Yan's questioning, Ye Chunqiu was silent for a moment before saying, "Mr. Xia said the eight-legged system is good, then I will ask you, is the new system not good?"

Xia Yan still looked unchanged. In fact, he was not afraid of reasoning with Ye Chunqiu at all, but was afraid that others would use their knives, and were still talking!

Since Ye Chunqiu could tell him well, he felt relieved and said, "Who knows whether it is good or not? It would be fine if it is good, but if it is bad, wouldn't it be a mistake for the country? Is it affordable to bet?"

"Besides, the hopes of scholars in the world are to read the Four Books and Five Classics and take the Eight Essays. During the new policy, His Highness King Lu saw with his own eyes. How many people beat their chests and feet for this? How many people scolded them? People's hearts are like flowing water. Can the hearts of the people in the Ming Dynasty be so devastated? Now scholars are very angry. Except for those who passed the exam, how many people are heartbroken. Alas... His Highness King Lu, just say that among the civil and military officials in the court, how many people really support the new system?"

Although he was full of atmosphere, he did not say too much, leaving some room for anything. In fact, he was still a little afraid of angering Ye Chunqiu. There was one thing he knew very well that His Highness, King Lu, was powerless, and his reputation was based on historical basis.

Ye Chunqiu did not seem to be angry, but frowned and said, "Is it not good to use what you have learned? Even if you are proficient in the eight-legged article, what's the use of being an official? But law and business are the knowledge that will make people gain a foothold in the world."

Xia Yan couldn't help laughing. This time, he said confidently: "Your Highness, whether it is good or not, it is not your highness who has the final say, nor is it the lower authority who has the final say! Just say that all the civil and military officials in the court, have you ever thought about asking them for their suggestions when the new system was being implemented? Your Highness has not! Most of the people standing here have gone through several dynasties, and who is not tempered and is a pillar of the court? Do your Highness dare to ask them, do they support the new system?"

Ye Chunqiu just curled his lips, looking like he was not as knowledgeable as Xia Yan, and wanted to sit back on his seat.

Seeing that Ye Chunqiu didn't ask, Xia Yan refused to give in and said, "It's said that you should be good at doing good. Even Your Majesty is like this, let alone Your Highness King Lu? Your Highness King Lu doesn't want to ask, but you actually dare not ask, right?"

After all, Ye Chunqiu couldn't sit still. He glanced at everyone and said, "Okay, then I'll ask all the officials in the court. Let's talk about it, is it better or not?"

After he finished speaking, his eyes looked around everyone, but in this Hall of Supreme Harmony, there was a needle that could be heard, and no one was willing to stand up.

Most people, even if there are some ministers who support the new policy, are not convenient to stand up and speak at this time, because deep in their hearts, these thoughts for thousands of years have long been studied hard and instilled by countless times of the Four Books and Five Classics, and have long regarded these Four Books and Five Classics as a sacred thing. Ye Chunqiu's dethroning the Eight Articles has indeed caused dissatisfaction among many people and made many people feel disappointed.

Xia Yan smiled. In fact, he forced Ye Chunqiu to ask all the officials for their opinions. He knew that he was already in sight of victory. He immediately said, "So who supports using business and law to obtain scholars?"

He deliberately said the words of business and law very seriously, with a little obvious contempt in his tone.

At this time, Wang Hua stood up and said, "I strongly agree with business and law studies to obtain a bachelor's degree."

His stand-up finally gave Ye Chunqiu great support, but... Ye Chunqiu originally thought that at this time, other people would also stand up. Over the years, Wang Hua has trained many ministers who support the new policy, but...

In this hall, no one else made a sound except Wang Hua.

Some people are opposed, and even those who support the new policy seem to think that the eight-legged essay reform is too ridiculous. They want to flatter Wang Hua, but they think that they have today because of the eight-legged essay. In their hearts, supporting the new essay is nothing more than slandering the sage. Who dares to slander the sage?

"Oh..." Xia Yan's heart was actually overjoyed, but he sighed deliberately and said, "Your Highness, King Lu, you see it. This is the fact. People's hearts are not here. Now that your highness is determined to be alone, he is full of resentment. I dare to ask, if there is any mistake, what should the country and country of the Ming Dynasty do? If this is why scholars in the world are misleading, what should I do?"

His questions made Ye Chunqiu look gloomy, his eyes were extremely deep, and his expression was unanimous.

Zhu Zaiyao looked at everyone in the hall to react. At this moment, he suddenly realized that Master Xia had left Ya's father speechless.

This made him wonder. It seemed a little uncomfortable to agree with his perception. Yafu has always been polite, but today, he was beaten to pieces by Master Xia with his 3-inch tongue?

Could it be...Is Yafu the truth wrong?
