Chapter 305 Can you stand being scared?
The nights in Jiangnan are cold.
The bright moon hangs high.
Emperor Zhu walked alone in the spacious and empty palace.
A feeling of loneliness came over me.
In this era,
There is a big generation gap between him and his ministers and concubines.
This feeling of loneliness made him understand.
There were only a few courtiers and officials who shared his heart. Even a die-hard like Gu Song only supported all his policies based on the loyalty of "the emperor and his subjects".
Essentially.
Gu Song was still a scholar-official.
For the entire class of scholar-bureaucrats.
Emperor Zhu has been wooing him for several years.
All the benefits that should be given were given.
But giving benefits can only buy off real villains.
It is of no use to gentlemen or hypocrites.
Now many "true gentlemen" from Sichuan are coming to Zhongdu.
Therefore, this tool of the Ming Dynasty’s dictatorship must be put to use!
"Why are we starting a tax audit now?"
"You haven't taken the exam in Sichuan yet, and Sichuan is still under military administration?"
"The emperor is unfair! Unjust!"
soon.
News that the imperial court suspended the imperial examination in Sichuan reached Chengdu.
It immediately caused great dissatisfaction.
Although the imperial court ostensibly gave in to the Sichuan scholars.
But in fact, they were left alone.
Of course these Sichuan scholars know that if the examination is not held in Sichuan now, then Sichuan officials will have to be appointed by outsiders.
All the benefits of being an official belong to foreign officials.
How can they accept this?
Therefore, the Ming court's decree not only failed to appease the scholars of Sichuan.
On the contrary, it made them even more excited.
More frustrated.
It's not that they don't want to take the imperial examination.
But I don’t want to take the new exam.
"Bao Ming Jiao! Stop the New Deal!"
Someone shouted in the crowd.
"Bao Mingjiao! Stop the New Deal!!"
It quickly aroused public response.
"Let's gather at the Gongyuan. Let's let the Emperor know our determination!"
"Eight-legged essays are used to recruit scholars, but new ones are rejected!"
"Eight-legged essays are used to recruit scholars and reject new learning!!"
Soon, a large number of scholars gathered at Chengdu Gongyuan.
During the Ming Dynasty, the governor's office of Sichuan Province was on high alert, and memorials reporting the situation were sent down the Yangtze River one after another.
“The situation in Sichuan is in chaos!”
"Scholars from all counties have gone to Gongyuan!"
"They are all seeds of reading!"
"What did the Emperor say?"
"You're not going to use a knife to rob me, are you?"
In the Zhongdu court, the affairs of Chengdu Gongyuan soon became the focus of everyone's discussion.
The ministers of the imperial court gathered in Qinzheng Hall and discussed in low voices.
Of course, Emperor Zhu also gave the highest priority to the turmoil in Chengdu on his desk.
"The opposition always tricks students into causing trouble. Is this also a traditional performing arts?"
Emperor Zhu muttered something in a low voice when he entered the Qinzheng Hall.
"Your Majesty, there are tens of thousands of scholars from all over Sichuan gathered in the Ding Gong Yuan. They ask the imperial court to select scholars and hold the Sichuan imperial examination within the year!" Peng Jun, the Minister of Education, said with a frown.
Zhu Daohua snorted coldly: "Eight-legged examination to get scholars? Impossible! Just take the new learning test, love the test or not. I am good enough to them. Sichuan Province has given 20,000 black gauze hats. Isn't it enough? Is it not enough to take the test?
Listen to them? Send an order to Sichuan Governor Luo Dingshan and ask them to send troops to suppress them!"
Peng Jun was stunned for a moment, and then a chill ran down his back.
I sighed in my heart.
Those people behind the scenes really thought that the emperor did not dare to use swords and guns.
It might be okay to just close it when it's good, but if it's hard to hold on, none of those people behind will be able to escape.
"Hahahaha! Emperor Zhu's empire has been in chaos so quickly!!"
Chengdu.
A restaurant next to Gongyuan.
A middle-aged man wearing a hat laughed heartily.
The two young men next to him looked at each other nervously and lowered their voices and said: "Master, keep your voice down, keep your voice down, be careful that the walls have ears!"
"What am I afraid of? Emperor Zhu has dragged all the Manchu people to Ulia Sutai. If he wants to catch me, I am a fish that slipped through the net!"
The speaker had obviously drunk a lot, and his face looked a little excited.
Obviously they are the "remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty" that have not yet been cleaned up.
This is the Ming Dynasty that has not gone through a complete revolution.
After hiding for more than a year and discovering that the Ming Dynasty had not launched any major campaign to "capture the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty" across the country, they all changed their surnames and came out to act.
In the Ming Dynasty, reactionaries were everywhere.
It is the third day of the fifth lunar month, the fifth year since the Ming Dynasty was restored.
Sichuan, Chengdu.
The genius is bright.
The street shop owners had just ordered their waiters to open the doors.
There has been some noise in the market.
The men who brought water, those who delivered goods, those who butchered pigs, and those who sold fish all pushed their carts into the city with a clanging sound.
At this time, these hawkers found that many people had appeared on the streets.
They are all men wearing red military uniforms.
and
Everyone has a musket with a bayonet!
Don't know where they came from.
They formed an unbelievably neat queue on the street.
The expressions of the soldiers were serious.
At the front.
A sun and moon flag symbolizing the Ming Dynasty flutters in the wind.
