Chapter 798: Vulnerable
"We are here to ask for the lives of the world's scholars!" At present, the guards of the palace are the elite of the Jiazhou Army who have followed Li You for many years, and they have a terrifying murderous aura on their bodies, as soon as they stand up, they make the hearts of these leading scholars feel a pang, and they can't help but take a few steps back, but when they look at the Holy Ancestor Divine Lord in their hands, and then look at the hundreds of passionate students behind them, their courage is fighting again, and they take a few steps forward again and respond loudly.

"The imperial court has its own system, if you want to ask for your life, you can go to Chengtian Mansion and go to the political affairs hall, what is the reason why you are waiting to gather people to surround the palace gate?" The leader of the guards was not intimidated by their momentum at all, these people were all killed in the sea of corpses and blood, how could they succumb to a few scholars?
"Chengtianfu can't manage such a major matter, and there are already traitors in the political hall, so I am here to ask Your Majesty to depose the traitors and recruit talents." Gu Jiangzi is also a member of the political hall now, and of course he is the traitor that these scholars are talking about, and as for the virtuous people, they are naturally the disciples of the Holy Sect who have read poetry and scriptures.
While the two sides were holding each other, an attendant hurriedly came out of the palace and shouted to these people in a sharp voice, "The palace gate is a forbidden place, and this move is against the laws of the imperial court, why don't you retreat quickly?" ”
Now that they have come to this point, how can these people give up? Not only did it not retreat, but the noise became more and more serious, and the guards guarding the palace did not dare to slack off, and the troops from all over the country quickly concentrated here; The chamberlain ran around the palace a few times, and finally brought a message that made these scholars consciously see hope, and Li You asked them to explain the purpose of asking for their lives.
"We implore Your Majesty to depose Gu Jiangzi and other traitors, and resume the Jinshi Branch!" The student in the lead was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out the book that had been prepared and handed it over with both hands, and the chamberlain returned to the palace again after taking it, and Yao Guangxiao, who was the prime minister, came out of the palace and came to them.
"You keep saying that Gu Shangshu is a traitor, but what evidence is there?" They thought that Yao Guangxiao would help them speak, but this first sentence made them a little confused.
These people just criticized him on the grounds that Gu Jiangzi was a member of the Mo family, but they knew little about what he did in the court, so what evidence could they come up with for a while? Everyone looked at each other, and exchanged their heads and ears, but they could only attack Gu Jiangzi from the Mo family, but as for the actual evidence, there was no evidence at all.
"Humph! My Jia Dynasty never judged the crime by birth, Gu Shangshu was born in the Mo family, Benxiang was born in the Shi family, Wang Shangshu is a disciple of a saint, Sima Shangshu is good at vertical and horizontal learning, His Majesty treats us equally; Besides, since His Majesty started the army, Gu Shangshu has built ordnance and made agricultural tools, and has made great contributions to our dynasty, and the military and civilians have all benefited from this, so what qualifications do you have to slander Gu Shangshu? Since there is no evidence, let's all disperse, if not, in the future, you will be held accountable for slandering the important ministers of the court. Yao Guangxiao shouted, the triangular eyes emitted a terrifying light, so frightened that the leading students couldn't help but take a few steps back, and when they saw the prime minister come out, they didn't show support for them, but reprimanded them, and some timid people even began to sneak out of the crowd and ran away secretly, and those guards didn't care about them, let them escape.
"But... It is a matter of ancient times that the saint can take the righteous man, and now my Jia Dynasty has changed its previous policy, I am afraid... I'm afraid that people all over the world will not be convinced. These people couldn't think of a way to refute for a while, so they had to turn the subject back to the imperial examination.
"In the early years, he first served as an official by birth, and then he was filial piety and honesty, and the nine grades were upright, and the establishment of the imperial examination was only a matter that existed hundreds of years ago, and where did this start since ancient times? It can be seen that all dynasties have their own strategies, and now that my Jia Dynasty is newly established, it is necessary to recruit talents from all over the world, so why not revise the imperial examination system? Yao Guangxiao now knows a lot about the history of this world, and quickly grasped the loopholes.
Seeing that everyone's momentum gradually stopped, Yao Guangxiao's tone also became softer, "The previous dynasty has always used the saints to win scholars, but what kind of talents are admitted?" In charge of the household department, he can't even calculate the money and grain of a country, Dali Siqing does not learn the law, and the chief official of a county does not understand the people's livelihood...... The people suffered greatly, and this is why there is turmoil in the world; You are also a scholar, when you know that dealing with state affairs is not a few scriptures can be done, but also need to master a few practical learning, this Xiang Nian in your young impulsiveness, and for a while can not see through the truth in this, you will not be held accountable for the crime of storming the palace and slandering the important ministers of the court, you and so Su Su retreated and concentrated on preparing for the exam! ”
After these words, many people were persuaded by Yao Guangxiao to retreat hurriedly, and the fewer people gathered outside the palace gate, there were only hundreds of diehards left.
"What's the reason for you not to leave at this time?" Now, this turmoil has entered a controllable state, and Yao Guangxiao is no longer worried, sure enough, as Hei Bingtai said, most of these scholars were picked up, and there are not many people who really oppose the new dynasty with bad intentions.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the same party, these people were a little panicked at the moment, thinking that they had no way to pass the imperial examination in the future, and they had no way to explain to the backstage who provoked them to make trouble.
"Humph! Don't you really think that the law of the land is a joke! "Yao Guangxiao will not be frightened by them, and now many people are slandering the new scientific examination, it is time to find a group of people to come out and make an example of chickens and monkeys, so with an order, many guards rushed up to arrest all these people.
After some interrogation, sure enough, many old ministers and wealthy families with deep backgrounds were dug out from their mouths, and Yao Guangxiao, who had long been eyeing these people, immediately arrested all these people.
Immediately afterwards, the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Inspectorate were interrogated separately by these scholars and the masterminds behind the scenes, these scholars were sentenced to several years of hard labor for slandering the important ministers of the imperial court, as for the leading ones, they were not so good, in addition to hard labor, the three law divisions also ruthlessly sentenced them and their family for three generations not to participate in the imperial examination, there is nothing more terrible for these scholars, as soon as this judgment came out, the world's scholars were suddenly solemn, No one dared to criticize this matter anymore.
As for those behind the scenes, the culpability is even greater, most of them were beheaded by raiders, and many century-old wealthy families were uprooted, and the conservative power of the Jia Dynasty was weakened again.
