Chapter 90
"Bring it up!"

In the face of public opinion, Emperor Zhou did not dare to be rash, and immediately asked Cao Zhengchun to submit his joint signature.

Great Zhou Taizu was born as a commoner, loved the common people, and valued public opinion. Although Zhou Emperor was not as good as Taizu, he did not give up much.

This joint signature not only has hundreds of signatures, but also stamps the fingerprints of the merchants, which is also a kind of public opinion.

This is the influence of Anjia, the richest man in Beijing, in the business circles of Beijing and China. In one night, 180 seven merchants could sign this petition.

If it wasn't for too much time, Anjia could attract more merchants. In the capital, there are many merchants who depend on Anjia for their food.

I have to say that Tang Lixuan's timing was very good. Emperor Zhou just punished him because of Lu Cheng's absenteeism. Now nearly 200 people have jointly reported Yang Qingyuan. The situation is much more serious than Lu Cheng's absenteeism. This is forcing Zhou Emperor to severely punish Yang Qingyuan .

If Emperor Zhou wanted to forcibly protect him in this matter, it would be difficult to convince the public, and it would also be a blow to his prestige.

After Emperor Zhou finished reading it, he wanted Yang Qing to distinguish himself,

Another great god came out, Qian Muqian, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, said nonchalantly, "I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, that the so-called public opinion is just some merchants, people who are greedy for profit, and they are not trustworthy because they are interested in profit but not polite! How about Yang Qingyuan's matter, it is dealt with by its own national law! How can it be the merchant's turn to intervene in it?!"

Qian Muqian's contemptuous remarks are taken for granted and righteous, as if in his eyes, this should be the case, it should be said that in Qian Muqian's eyes, this is the case.This sentence is also what Qian Muqian said, if someone else said it, he would be condemned by others.

But Qian Muqian is different. He is a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, the leader of the literary world of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Qingliu of Qingliu.

The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are divided into four industries, scholars, farmers, businessmen, scholars are at the head, and merchants are at the bottom, and Qian Muqian is the one who stands at the top of the scholars.

In Qian Muqian's capacity, he complained about a few businessmen's lack of virtue, and there was no psychological pressure at all. Even standing in front of An Shigeng, the richest man in the capital, pointing his nose and cursing at him was normal.This is a moral and psychological advantage, and it is recognized by scholars!
Tang Li was annoyed by Qian Muqian's scoundrel's statement, but he didn't know how to refute it, because from Qian Muqian's identity, this statement was very reasonable and could not be refuted.

It is Da Zhou's political correctness that Qingliu despises merchants.

Qian Muqian's words were also approved by most of the officials in the palace. Almost all the people present belonged to the scholar-bureaucrat class. Except for a few people, most of them had a disdainful attitude towards merchants. Qian Muqian's words were very reasonable in everyone's ears .

180 Seven merchants jointly want to overthrow a Dali Temple Cheng and Wenhua Palace?

If Tang Li still overthrew Yang Qingyuan today, could others also use this method to overthrow them?
Thinking of this, several officials stepped forward to second the proposal.

This made Tang Li who proposed it feel very passive. Qian Muqian was simply playing a rogue, instead of questioning the authenticity of the joint letter, he discriminated against the character of the joint letter, and even discriminated against the righteous ones.

This way of breaking the situation made Tang Li extremely aggrieved.

Just when Tang Li was in trouble, the An family still had a backup.

"The old minister here also has a joint letter! It is a petition signed by the students of the Imperial College! The old minister is here to petition on behalf of the students of the Imperial College. Please Your Majesty will enforce the law and punish Yang Qingyuan and Li Xunhuan for their illegal actions!"

The person who spoke was Kong Qinli, the emperor of Guozijian, a scholar of the Dongge University, and the contemporary Yan Shenggong.

Although Kong Qinli's reputation among scholars is not as good as that of Qian Muqian, he is also a great Confucian of his generation, and his words carry weight.

And because of his status as Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Qian Muqian could not treat students like he just refuted businessmen.

It was another petition, and the smile on Yang Qingyuan's face grew wider. It seemed that in order to deal with himself and Li Xunhuan, the An family had used all their political cards!But the An family still doesn't understand politics, coercing public opinion is sometimes very strong, but it's not how to use it!
The strength of political power cannot be changed by a few petitions.

"Imperial College?! Hehe!"

The one who spoke was Wang Hua, the Right Counselor of the General Administration Department who had just been transferred back to the capital, the champion of Yongan for 13 years, the same year of Yang Qingyuan and Li Xunhuan, and a good teacher and helpful friend of the two.

The sarcasm in Wang Hua's tone made no effort to hide it.The simple five words express the contempt of the top students for a group of scumbags.

Yong'an's 13-year imperial examination was unanimously considered by the court and the central government to be the highest-level imperial examination in 30 years.The top ten in the palace examination, if it were him, they would all be the champions, and Wang Hua was No.1 among them.

Even if Yang Qingyuan was recommended by the national teacher, he was suspected of going through the back door, and his articles on classics and righteousness were not top-notch, but poetry, policy theory, criminal law, and Ming calculation were all one of the four subjects, and he had no rivals in the palace.

And who are the people in the Imperial College?Unqualified candidates, scholars who rely on donations, and nobles who rely on shadows, not to mention academic bullies like Wang Hua, are also a bunch of scumbags in the eyes of ordinary officials.

At this time, the senior officials in the court were basically orthodox imperial examination backgrounds, and the worst ones were basically second-class ones. Facing the so-called students of the Imperial College, they had a sense of superiority over foreign students from foreign pheasant universities.

"Students in the Imperial College don't study hard and practice self-cultivation in peace, but talk about government affairs indiscriminately. The Confucian scholar is suspected of dereliction of duty!"

Sure enough, before Yang Qingyuan could refute, someone from the Imperial Academy spoke up.

The person who spoke was a gray-haired old scholar who had studied mathematics all his life. During academic seminars, he was shocked by Yang Qingyuan's method of binary quadratic equations, and became the number one fan of Yang Qingyuan's mathematics.

Although Yang Qingyuan is no longer working in the Imperial Academy, he still retains the bachelor of the Imperial Academy. In the hearts of everyone in the Imperial Academy, he is his own person, and Yang Qingyuan's unique mathematics is left in the Imperial Academy for everyone to study. It is for the Imperial Academy. made a huge contribution.

The Imperial College aimed at Yang Qingyuan, and the Imperial Academy seemed to be aiming at itself. It would be hard for the Imperial Academy to say anything to others, but when did the group of scumbags in the Imperial Academy who couldn’t even win the Jinshi also point out to the academicians of the Imperial Academy.

How can the scholars of the Hanlin Academy who think so highly of themselves bear this? !

Looking at Yang Qingyuan who was able to deal with it freely, Li Hongyi, a scholar of Jianji Temple who had been watching coldly as an outsider, also admired Yang Qingyuan's political level and comprehension ability in his heart.

The political strength of Yang Qingyuan and Li Xunhuan alone cannot compete with the Xungui Group and the Chu Royal Party.

But from the very beginning, Yang Qingyuan was taking advantage of the situation, the situation of His Majesty, the situation of Yanyi, the situation of Qingliu, the situation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and now the situation of the Imperial Academy.

Up to now, the momentum carried by Yang Qingyuan has become a mountain sea, which cannot be resisted by the Chu Royal Party and the Xungui Group.
