Chapter 113: Your Dad Is Going to Lose His Head
The news of the emperor's preparation for the imperial examination soon spread everywhere in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Regardless of status, regardless of region, all the people of the Ming Empire can participate in the imperial examination.
And those who pass the imperial examination will become officials in various parts of the Ming Dynasty in the future.
The news came from the Wind and Snow Bookstore.
Some people doubted the authenticity of this news, but they received an affirmative answer from Fengxue Bookstore.
also said that this news was spread by the bookstore of the Tang Mansion head behind them, and Tang Mingren, the current servant of the Ming Officials' Department, let the bookstore come out.
This can make the people of the entire capital completely boil.
In the three hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have always been those people who can be officials.
Ordinary people want to be an official, basically don't even think about it, even if you have a genius mind, you will always be pressed to the bottom because of your identity.
Unless you're willing to go into the homes of those officials.
But even so, not many people have such luck.
If you want to be an official in Daming, it's best not to have such thoughts.
But the news of this imperial examination seems to be to subvert the 300-year-old official system of the Ming Dynasty.
Ordinary people, too, have a glimmer of hope.
"Is the news true or not, do I want my son to study hard from now on, and in the future, he will pass the imperial examination, then it will really be a glorious ancestor." There are people in the capital who are holding the booklet given free by the Fengxue Bookstore, full of excitement.
"It should be true, the old man of the Tang Mansion is a servant of the ministry, and his words should not be fake."
"That's right, if this thing is not true, who would dare to publicize it publicly?"
"And you haven't noticed, not even the people who have sealed the Wind and Snow Bookstore."
"Yes, yes, I found out too, so ah, this thing must be true."
"I have to go back now and tell my kid that he should stop working in the fields and go to school quickly, and he will definitely be able to pass the exam next year."
"My aunt used to be very talented, so I have to let him try."
In the capital of the Ming Dynasty, there is news about the imperial examination.
As soon as the second prince came out of the mansion of the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he heard the people on the street talking about the imperial examination.
The second prince's eyes were gloomy, and he knew that Chen Changfeng deliberately let people spread this matter.
Otherwise, how could so many people know about this so quickly.
is a good Tang Mingren, thinking that if he falls in love with Chen Changfeng, the prince, he dares to look at everything?
It is disgusting to dare to use Fengxue Bookstore to promote such a thing, and give it to the people of the capital for free.
"Second prince, this Tang Mansion is really not afraid of death, but the third prince has given a death order, and he will never allow a commercial vehicle from the Tang Mansion to pass through the border, and he Tang Mingren is really out of the way?" The little guy next to him said with a cold face.
The second prince didn't speak, Tang Mingren dared to help Chen Changfeng like this, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
"You go to Jing Zhaoyin and tell him that you will send someone to seal the Fengxue bookshop, and if the Fengxue bookshop is not sealed, the prince will depose him." There was silence for a long time before the second prince gave the order.
"Yes, Your Highness." The little servant hurriedly ran to deliver the order, and the second prince continued to walk to the house of the next person he wanted to see.
……
Yao Xiaoren was a little happy.
Chen Changfeng asked Fengxue Bookstore to publicize the news of the imperial examination, which will undoubtedly make this matter bigger and bigger.
The longer the news spreads, the more likely it is that this national policy will be implemented.
But Yao Xiaoren also has uncomfortable times.
For example, he has not yet decided which officials to remove.
A thick list of civilian and military generals was placed in front of him, but Yao Xiaoren had no clue at all.
"Dad, are you still worried about the dismissal of officials?" Yao Tangtang walked over and brought a cup of hot tea.
"Tangtang, my father is going to be sad because of this, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince, I really wouldn't have done this."
"If you don't handle it well, you may have to lose your head." Yao Xiaoren sighed and picked up the tea on the side of the table.
"It's so serious, what about the prince, will he also be implicated?" Yao Tangtang's face was worried.
"Of course, huh?" Yao Xiaoren was stunned: "Your father is about to lose his head, are you only worried about whether the prince will be implicated?" ”
"Tangtang, you don't even care about your father, but you care so much about the prince, shouldn't you ......?"
"Dad, what are you talking nonsense, it was Sister Miao Miao who asked me to ask, she was a little worried about His Royal Highness the Prince, after all, this matter has been spread outside."
"Abolish redundant officials and redundant generals, and hold the imperial examination, Sister Miao Miao is very worried about the prince." Yao Tangtang explained.
Yao Xiaoren looked at his daughter suspiciously.
Didn't say anything more.
"The imperial examination is for the merits of the present and the benefits for the future, but if you want to implement it, it is not so simple, and ninety percent of the officials in the court will oppose it."
"It is estimated that at this time, they are all plotting to make His Majesty dispel the idea of winning the imperial examination."
"If the imperial examination cannot be carried out, the prince will definitely be attacked by hundreds of officials, and in the future, it is basically impossible to stand in the court." Yao Xiaoren shook his head.
Even now, Yao Xiaoren still feels that Chen Changfeng's trick is a bit risky.
If they can't recruit people, they can take their time, instead of being so eager to get the imperial examination.
This is taking food from the mouths of hundreds of officials in the court, and they are ghosts if they don't object.
And once Chen Changfeng loses in this battle, then he, the crown prince, will basically be done.
Offended all the officials, and it became impossible to win the imperial examination.
Chen Changfeng only had two under him, Yao Xiaoren and Tang Mingren.
Not enough, far from enough.
"Master, the villain was on the street, and I saw the second prince's car driving to the Shangshu Mansion of the former Ministry of Rites." The servant came over to report to Yao Xiaoren.
"What did the second prince do in the mansion of the former Ministry of Rites?" Yao Tangtang asked.
"What else can you do, of course, to prepare to deal with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Yao Xiaoren smiled bitterly and motioned for the servant to leave.
Yao Xiaoren guessed that the officials led by the second and third princes would mobilize those officials to resolutely oppose the imperial examination.
But I didn't expect the second prince's speed to be so fast.
Today, I have already visited the former Ministry of Rites.
The former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Du Anke, was the emperor's gentleman, and if he came out to stand on the field, even if he was the emperor, he would not dare to go his own way.
And Duane will definitely not be the only one at that time, it is estimated that as long as there are people who can be invited, all of them will appear at that time.
"Tangtang, Dad is going out, you have a good rest at home." Yao Xiaoren couldn't sit still, he had to go to Chen Changfeng to discuss this matter now.
"Dad, don't worry, I'll take a look at this for you." Yao Tangtang nodded.
Yao Xiaoren glanced at the list of officials on the table, then at his daughter, and smiled and didn't say anything.
Yao Xiaoren went out and was thinking about going straight to the East Palace.
But I saw that many people were running in the direction of the Fengxue bookstore.
Look like that, something should be going on.
"This little brother, what are you going to do here?" Yao Xiaoren grabbed one person.
The person who was pulled turned around and was about to reprimand angrily, but when he saw that the person who grabbed him was a little old, he gently patted Yao Xiaoren's hand away: "Jing Zhaoyin's people are going to seal the Fengxue bookstore, and many people have gone over to see it." ”
"Seal the Wind and Snow Bookstore, why?" Yao Xiaoren was stunned.
"Then I don't know, if you want to see the excitement, you have to hurry over, and you won't be able to watch it when it's late." The young man said, turned and ran forward.
Fengxue Bookstore plays an important role in this war of public opinion, Yao Xiaoren can't let something happen to Fengxue Bookstore, he has to go over and take a look.
