Shandong, the land of Qilu, is the hometown of the Confucian sage, and is famous all over the world for knowing the rites.

Influenced by the culture of Confucius, there is an endless stream of scholars who come here to pay homage.

Creation Zhong Shenxiu, Qi Lu Qing is not over.

Even after decades of war, the scholars are so poor that they can't eat, but the sound of Lang Lang's reading can be seen everywhere, and there is an atmosphere of learning everywhere, reading at night, studying hard, and being polite among gentlemen.

Jinan, Baotu Spring is famous all over the country, and the neighborhood is very prosperous; Daguanyuan Lane is the concentration of Flower Street and Willow Lane, the green building here concentrates the women of various places and races, the customs are different, beautiful and generous, it is the most favorite place for literati and scholars, officials and businessmen to stay in the gold cave, not much inferior to the Qinhuai River.

The streets in the city are relatively open, and the bazaars, schools, yamen, and residential areas are planned in an orderly manner.

Chen Yuan took Hou Ba and a few brocade guards and walked on the street. He asked Yuan Bin to go to the yamen first, and he inquired about the news first. The arrest of prisoners is not the main thing, the main thing is to find a way to solve the problem of the boycott.

Bazaars, various stalls and sheds squeeze the wide and flat road on both sides into a laneway, and in some places there are too many people, shoulder to shoulder, it is difficult to walk together, and it can be seen that it is prosperous.

There are many stalls and miscellaneous, some sell all kinds of snacks, as well as jewelry and satin cloth. The most lively are some taverns, the weather is cold in spring, many people like to come here to have a drink and chat about the big things in the north and south.

Chen Yuan listened carefully, basically talking about the boycott of the exam, and looked at them again, there were no scholars, just some people who had a lot of things, they didn't think it was a big deal, and it didn't matter to themselves, but they had all kinds of disputes, and they were more in favor of the policies of the imperial court.

"Hey, let them scholars and officials and gentry work with us, it's a wonder for the ages, and it's worth a lot of revelation."

"Is it possible? I heard that Lord Li, who presided over the reform, was killed, alas, who else can carry out the reform? They exploit us less and the common people are thankful, working like us? No way." Someone immediately retorted.

"They can't do their work, those white and tender arms, accidentally fell to the ground, and half of their lives will be lost, haha-"

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

Chen Yuan listened for a while, but couldn't get any useful information, so he continued to walk forward and came to a poetry club: Qingyun Poetry Society. There are many people who read books here.

He took the lead in entering, and the gatekeeper saw that he was dressed as a scholar and a guard, so he didn't ask much and let him in.

Chen Yuan went in and saw that it was a large manor, with pavilions, rockeries, gardens, everything.

There were hundreds of people gathered inside.

Some are reciting with their eyes closed, some are discussing exercises, but more of them are gathering together to write to the court, hoping to seek justice.

On the platform in the middle of the garden, there were eight scholars, three of whom were the leading ones, among which the scholar in the white Confucian robe was the mainstay, and everyone called him Lu Juren.

"Everything is inferior, only reading is high, classmates? Now the court is mediocre, appointing the traitor Li Qi, abandoning the tradition of scholars, and letting us work in the field, what kind of system is this. We are gathered here today to write to the court, and if we don't cancel the gentry as an errand and pay for food, we won't take the exam this year."

"Yes, Brother Lu is right, we have been in the cold for ten years, just to work in the field? The imperial court does not respect us scholars, we learn poetry and books, and we learn the ways of Confucius and Mencius, so there is no reason to work."

"Yes, yes." The crowd was excited. Lu Juren gave another passionate speech, and all the scholars who were studying the topic just now were attracted to the past.

They signed the petition one after another.

Chen Yuan watched coldly from the sidelines, and Hou Ba whispered, "Master, do we want to-"

Chen Yuan raised his hand to signal that he didn't need to act rashly, found a position, sat down, and watched.

"Brother, your eyes are very raw?"

Suddenly, a scholar came to him.

Chen Yuan raised his eyes and saw that this scholar was a Chinese face, not very old, seventeen or eighteen years old.

The other scholars all went to sign and express their opinions, but this young man walked to his side, Chen Yuan was a little curious, and smiled: "It's new here, the little brother naturally doesn't know him, Lu Juren and they are all stating their opinions, I think the little brother is a little unhappy."

The young man immediately said, "These people, Lord Li has sacrificed for the benefit of the people, and they are still abusing them everywhere and being scholars in vain, and I disdain to be with them."

Chen Yuan glanced at him a few more times, and the young man said again: "I see my brother sitting here, watching them frown, I must not agree with them."

Before Chen Yuan could speak, a thin man came over and said, "Yuan De, everyone has signed, go and sign it."

The young man snorted coldly: "The imperial court implements the decree and pays food as an errand, although it is a bit strict, but I don't feel ashamed, on the contrary, I should do something for the scholars, otherwise it is not that the four bodies are not diligent and not divided."

"Yuan De, I know you have a strong temperament, but now everyone is against it, don't you want to, let's finish reading in the future and become farmers, right?"

"What about farm work? His Majesty is a first-class treasure, building a school, and reforming the rule of officials, and is a promising monarch. We scholars call ourselves gentlemen, but we gather for no reason to embarrass the court, which is really not done by a gentleman." The young man is righteous and righteous in his words.

There were a few people who came to persuade the young man to sign the opinion, and it was his friend who started to speak, and seeing that his friend didn't work, the other people said coldly: "Li Xian, let you sign, I can afford you, there are so many of us, there is no more than you, and there is no less than you."

It turned out that the young man's name was Li Xian, and the word was Yuande.

Li Xian also said coldly: "The Tao is not the same, since I don't need to sign, what does it mean that so many people come around?"

The face of the leader was hideous: "Our Qingyun Poetry Society, we are all well-educated people, you agree with Li Qi's absurd policy, misleading the country and the people, Lu Juren has already said just now, and decided to expel you from the Poetry Society, this Poetry Society, you don't want to come in the future."

Li Xian's face turned white, the expulsion of the poetry club means that he is not tolerated, his friends can't tolerate him, he doesn't have a good life in Shandong, I'm afraid he won't be able to participate in the scientific examination, he came from Henan and worked hard, it was very cold, how could it be in vain, pointing at them: "It's just that there are different opinions, what is wrong with me, why should I be expelled."

"Not only will you be expelled from the Poetry Society, but Lu Juren will also report to the University of Political Science and take away your status as a showman."

Li Xian's face turned pale: "You, you are shameless."

The leader disagreed, and smiled: "Li Xian, give you another chance, you sign, or not."

Li Xian's lips trembled.

"This brother, I see that you are also a reader, have you signed?" The man looked at Chen Yuan, who had been sitting calmly.

Chen Yuan shook his head slowly: "No."

The man raised his eyebrows: "Then I advise you to sign quickly, go to the court, everyone is beneficial, if you follow Li Qi's dead ghost, we scholars will not tolerate him, nor will we tolerate you." t.

Chen Yuan slowly stood up: "The newcomers still don't understand much, you are just a poetry club, even if you sign here, you can't influence the imperial court, right?"

The man laughed.

"Isn't it funny?"

"You're new, I don't blame you, let you know, although we are a poetry club, look at Lu Juren." He gave a thumbs up, "This of their poetry club, this, you know, he is, the proud protégé of our Shandong Xuezheng, you say, can we influence the imperial court?"

Sure enough, there is a big article, and there are people who instigate the boycott of the exam, Chen Yuan remained silent and nodded: "Yes, there is some power."

The man snorted, "Now that you know, let's sign it, otherwise, there will be no good fruit to eat in the future."

As soon as he threatened like this, the people who were a little hesitant just now immediately ran to sign.

Li Xian was even more excited, and shouted angrily: "Scholars and literati, you should throw your head and spill your blood and serve the national court, you, you form a party for personal gain, bully the weak, what kind of scholar are you?"

The man laughed a few times, "Forming a party for personal gain? Li Dacaizi, I heard that you are still a famous talent in Henan, it seems that it is nothing more than that, let's just state our opinions, give opinions to the country, just a scholar, where did the party come from, haha."

He said the wrong thing, Li Xian's face was red, and he said to Chen Yuan: "Brother, the Poetry Society has been made into a miasma by them, and if you expel the Poetry Society, you will be expelled, if you don't take the exam, don't sign it, let's go."

Chen Yuan smiled lightly: "Little brother, don't worry, let's wait before leaving."

Li Xian was anxious and curious: "Brother Tai, do you want to sign?" This is not good, they are for their own selfish interests, Master Li must also be harmed by some people, the policy of enriching the country and strengthening the people, their officials and gentry collude, they disobey the yang and the yin, and they also use us scholars as the first birds, but many of them are confused and become helpers, and the faces of our scholars are all lost by them."

At this time, Lu Juren laughed: "Li Xian, do you know a lot?"

Behind Lu Juren, there were more than 30 people supporting him, staring at Chen Yuan with dead eyes, and asked lightly: "This brother is very good-looking, and he actually mixed into our poetry club, your background is not small."

Hou Ba and a few others protected Chen Yuan.

"Average." Chen Yuan smiled faintly.

"I don't care what your background is, isn't it a bit rude for you to come to our poetry club at will today? This word, you signed, Lu has a large number of people, and you can not blame the past."

Chen Yuan felt very funny: "Forcing people to sign, this is the first time I will see you, what if you don't sign?"

Lu Juren looked up to the sky and laughed: "I can't tolerate you in Shandong, and no one in the world can tolerate you."
