Amid the obeisances of his courtiers, the old man walked out slowly, holding his cloth shoes behind his back.
Then he sat unceremoniously on Zhu Yunxi's throne and patrolled for a week with cold eyes.
The old man is old, but his gaze is still like that of a lion king patrolling his territory, stern and inviolable, which makes people's hearts tremble.
"After we retreated, we left things alone, but this time we can't ignore them!" the old man said slowly, without any emotion. "Looking at the results for the first time, we just wanted to get angry. According to our temperament, you will too.
I know that I will never be as easy-going as the emperor, nor will I give any of you face!"
"It was the emperor who persuaded us. He told us that in this scientific examination, the talents of the scholars from the south of the Yangtze River are indeed higher. If one person from the north failed, there may be something hidden. But if the people from the north are listed, it will make the really talented people fail.
, it can’t help but make people feel chilling.”
"The Emperor is thinking that since you are all well-educated people, you will definitely be able to give an answer that best of both worlds!"
"Oh, we told the emperor at the beginning that you were holding back and pushing back. Look, we said that, right?"
Indeed, Zhu Yunxi also summoned some officials to review the candidates' papers this time in private.
The articles written by scholars from Jiangnan are indeed much better. It’s not that scholars from the north are not good, but that scholars from Jiangnan are better, but they are not absolutely good. For many papers that are ambiguous, whether they are successful or not, you can choose northerners.
So can Jiangnan scholars.
It is certainly their fault that the examiners select scholars based on their own preferences, but in the final analysis, it is because the imperial examination system is imperfect and the organizers did not think carefully.
Although it is very satisfying to overturn the first conclusion, we must be careful of overcorrecting and overcorrecting.
Every word the old man said was filled with murderous intent.
Immediately, he looked at the frightened ministers and said loudly, "Where is Ling Han!"
"Old minister is here!" Ling Han, the official minister, strode out from the side hall.
"You are in charge of the exam and re-reading, so be quick!" the old man said softly, "The students are all waiting!"
"Old minister, I obey!" Ling Han stood up, picked up the examination papers from the ground, and carried them away.
"As for you!" The old man looked at those Hanlin Academy bachelors who were dripping with cold sweat, and sneered, "Not only do you disappoint the emperor, but we also disappoint you! What's the use of keeping you?" He said, looking at Zhu Yunxi, "Your Majesty, we
Can I do it for you today?"
"Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi sighed slightly and said, "It all depends on you!"
You can still live if you do evil by God, but you can't live if you do evil on your own.
These people have come out of today's situation on their own. Zhu Yunxi has no obligation to them, and no longer has the patience to tolerate or even forgive them.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have something to say!" Dai Yi, one of the Hanlin scholars, suddenly said.
Zhu Yunxi looked at him and said, "Say!"
"Since the last imperial edict was issued and the scientific examination papers were re-marked, I have discussed with Liu Xueshi and others. The emperor's move is to appease the hearts of the northerners. No matter whether they are northerners or not, no one should pass the scientific examination this time.
After the retrial, some additional recordings will be made!"
"Even if we depose some who are already on the list, we don't care about so much. The way of the country is to maintain balance. The justice of the court comes first! Furthermore, the papers of the Northerners are not all vulgar and poor in arts and science.
of!"
"I told my colleagues to put aside their prejudices and don't be stubborn, but they just didn't listen!"
As he said that, Dai Yi suddenly pointed at Zhang Xin, a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and said, "It's all him!"
Zhang Xin was stunned for a moment, his face full of panic.
"He is the one who told everyone, don't say you are right, even if you are wrong, you must be wrong to the end, otherwise the Hanlin Academy will lose its face, and the examiners and I will lose all our prestige, and we will become the laughing stock of the world and the scum of the scholarly community!"
"He also told everyone that if it is really changed according to the emperor's wishes, everyone will inevitably take the blame for whoever commits this crime in the future!"
"If the emperor wants to appease the anger of the northern scholars, everyone will be made a scapegoat if he can't protect them!"
"Even if we don't take the blame or take the blame, if we change the results of the scientific examination, everyone's career will be over!"
"I said at that time that the emperor would not be happy if he did not change!"
"He also said that the current dynasty is different from that of more than ten years ago. The emperor is kind and kind. No matter how unhappy he is, he will never kill scholar-bureaucrats like me!"
"He also said that we can't change the results. The second time the results are the same as the first time. If you hand it in, if the emperor is unhappy, he will change it and let others change it!"
"In this way, we will be famous and famous at the same time!"
"You..." Zhang Xin was furious, "Why is Dai Yi acting like a villain!"
"Shut up!" Zhu Yunxi shouted angrily, "Pull it down!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
As Zhang Xin begged for mercy, he was immediately taken away by several guards.
"For selfish desires, regardless of the king and the country, and regardless of the most important rights and wrongs, what kind of scholar-officials are they? They are indistinguishable from Qin Hui and his like!" Zhu Yunxi said angrily.
"Is everything he said true?" The old man looked at Liu Sanwu.
Liu Sanwu kowtowed slowly and choked with sobs, "I, you are confused!"
Everyone understands these three words, they are true.
Liu Sanwu also has his own difficulties. He is old, eighty-five years old. He has lived a clean life, and he also has difficulties when he causes such a big incident when he is old.
It's not that he couldn't see Zhu Yunxi's intentions, but just like Zhang Xin said, he couldn't afford to lose this person.
For a person like him, losing credibility among scholars is more uncomfortable than killing him.
Then, he looked at Zhu Yunxi with longing eyes.
The latter also looked at him and said slowly, "Dai Yi!"
"I'm here!"
"Write down those words just now and give them to the Inspectorate and Dali Temple!" Zhu Yunxi said, "Exactly word for word!"
"Your Majesty!" Liu Sanwu was shocked.
According to Zhu Yunxi, they will soon become prisoners.
"No need to talk anymore, no need to cover up, no need to explain, leave it to Dali Temple, the Procuratorate and the Ministry of Punishment to decide who is who and what is wrong. You are all scholars. No matter how wrong you are, I don't want to torture you with the Imperial Guards!"
Zhu Yunxi said slowly, "Everyone go home, write down what happened these days, and get down!"
"Your Majesty!" All the Hanlin scholars choked, kowtowed, and left crying.
When everyone walked away, the old man looked at Zhu Yunxi and suddenly smiled, "Didn't you say, I will be the bad guy!"
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson, as an emperor, does not want to be a good old man!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"What about the scientific examination? How to deal with it?" the old man asked again.
"Although it is unreasonable and unreasonable for all the students to win, it is unreasonable and unreasonable, but if the students who have already been on the list are deposed again, my grandson seems to have gone too far!"
Zhu Yunxi and the old man walked slowly towards the side hall of Linghan, and said, "If this is the case, I'm afraid there will be another turmoil. Students from Jiangnan will say that the court favors northerners, and then the court will not be human inside and outside!"
"Moreover, over the years, because Jiangnan is prosperous and stable with few wars, the prevalence of literary style is indeed much higher than that in the north. The majority of Jiangnan scholars in previous scientific surveys are proof of this!"
"So, grandson thinks!"
Zhu Yunxi stopped outside the hall, looked at Ling Han comparing the two test papers, his old face wrinkled like a chrysanthemum, and said, "My grandson is thinking, it would be better if the North and South were ranked separately in the future!"
