The era of all the princes

Chapter 200 Argument
"Absurd, absurd!"

At night, in the rest place of Donghua Academy, many scholars who followed Ye Feng's faction complained loudly!
"What does that one want to do? Hen Ji Sichen is fine, but now he wants to promote the craftsman to the position of a saint? This is... this is... going to mess up the world!"

Others also complained one after another, and Ye Feng's face was ashen at this time, with extremely complicated emotions in his heart.

Originally thought that he came to a good place where he could display his strengths, a wise master, a fair environment willing to accept the poor family, but some things were gained, and some things were lost. Destroy the foundation of scholars!

"My lord, I shouldn't, I shouldn't," Ye Feng muttered to himself. If Jiang Sheng was there, he would definitely find that his loyalty was plummeting.

"Brother is saying something wrong?"

A familiar voice interrupted Ye Feng's almost collapsed mood. Everyone looked over, and the person who came was wearing a unique black long gown, which was exactly the clothes of the master specially prepared by the Judicial Yuan.

It's a woman, everyone knows this person, she is the number one in the Judiciary last time, and Ye Feng's younger sister: Ye Qian!
"Brother." The girl looked at her brother seriously: "Donghua Academy is a place for studying and learning. A group of you gather here to make noise and express political dissatisfaction, but it is against the law."

Everyone was stunned, and the word "illegal" made them subconsciously weaken, while Ye Feng glared at the other party: "Nonsense, why haven't I heard of this statement?"

"It's coming out soon!" Ye Qian raised a pile of documents in her hand: "It's a good thing that my elder brother messed around here before the law was released, otherwise I'm afraid I'm going to be arrested and locked up in the judicial prison now!"

Everyone's complexion changed, and they all stared at the stack of documents in each other's hands, and Ye Feng's eyes were red, and he raised his hand to grab it: "Give it to me!"

Ye Qian dodged alertly, and looked at the other party strangely: "Brother, are you crazy? This is a law that has not yet been promulgated, and it can only be promulgated with the personal authorization of the Lord Lord. What do you want to do?"

Ye Feng's eyes hurt from being stared at by the other party, but he still held back the irritability in his heart and said: "I want to see what absurd laws your Judiciary has enforced. What is this for? Do you want to treat scholars thoroughly?"

Ye Qian stared at the other party fixedly, and finally sighed after a long time: "Brother, you are more and more like those wealthy scholars who used to bully us."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Feng was stunned for a while, his face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Isn't it?" Ye Qian looked at him coldly: "Brother used to be very talented, but he was targeted by scholars and politicians when he was a scholar, and he couldn't enter the officialdom because he came from a poor family and a weak background. The justice cannot be done, brother remember?"

"What are you talking about?" Ye Feng's face became a little unnatural. Of course, he remembered that day, and also remembered how unwilling he was at the beginning.

"What is Brother Ke doing now?" Ye Qian looked at the people around him: "Gathering people to form a clique, holding together interests, crowding out others, and desperately trying to suppress people outside the scope of your own interests out of the circle of the academy, what are you doing with me?" What's the difference between those people from the past?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I suppress others?" Ye Feng looked at Ye Qian angrily, but there was an unnatural panic in his eyes.

"How long will I lie to myself?" Ye Qian sighed, "Gathering together a group of scholars with the best backgrounds and crowding out those weak women and ordinary people, how is this different from those aristocratic families back then? ?”

"Of course it's different!" Ye Feng said angrily, "I'm here to protect the dignity of scholars. If some girls from brothels, who sell husbands and come from cheap backgrounds, can also associate with scholars, what's the point?"

"Woth from a brothel? A man from a lower class?" Ye Qian looked at her brother strangely: "You once said that if you were an official, you would make the women in brothels in this world behave from good to righteous, and make low-level traffickers naked , You don’t have enough to eat, and now this place is moving in the direction you want, but you think the lord is giving too much to these brothel girls, traffickers and pawns, don’t you?”

"I..." Ye Feng choked, "I didn't mean that."

"That's what you mean!" Ye Qian said coldly: "In your thinking, it is enough for the traffickers and pawns to have clothes to wear and a bowl of rice to eat, and you still want to study and improve and become a scholar, so how can it be? Wealthy families, don’t you poor families look the same?”

Ye Feng choked for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "Don't make excuses, what we are discussing today is about craftsmen!"

"Craftsmen?" Ye Qian sneered: "Who told you that there are craftsmen here? Those in Luban College are masters with great knowledge. You call them craftsmen. Do you have a higher status than them?"

"Ridiculous! They are like that, what kind of masters can they be called?" The scholars who had been unable to get in the conversation just now retorted one after another!
"Why?" Ye Qian looked at them amusedly: "They can't be called, but you group of sour and rotten brats who only dare to bark behind their backs can be called?"

"You!" Everyone glared at him immediately. If they didn't see that the other party was a woman, they might have punched each other.

"Am I wrong?" Ye Qian said contemptuously: "You are so filled with righteous indignation, why didn't you dare to stand up and fight for your reasons when the Lord was at Luban Academy this afternoon? Did the Lord not allow it?"

Everyone's faces turned red, and they choked out a sentence for a long time: "My lord is stupid, and I can't listen to good words!"

"Fart!" Before Ye Qian could speak, another female voice sounded not far away, and everyone looked over, it was Wen Qing, the number one in Bailuyuan!

Why is she here too?
Everyone frowned, and felt a little flustered. It seemed that they and others made too much noise. Maybe it had already been reported to the lord?
Looking at the guilty glances of the crowd, Wen Qing saw through most of the people's thoughts at a glance, and sneered, "Why? Gathering the crowd to speak wildly, isn't it just to let the lord know? Now that you have made a big fuss, you are guilty again?"

"We're not guilty!" the man just said with a stiff neck.

Ye Feng also frowned: "What's your opinion?"

For Wen Qing, he is the most vigilant. Many people say that Wen Qing's talent is higher than his. If she had directly entered Donghua Academy, she would definitely not be at the top of the list!

This statement fluctuated his status, and made him very wary of this woman!
"Where do I have any good ideas?" Wen Qing sneered: "I'm not like some people, who can't fart in front of people, and bark endlessly behind them!"

"Wen Qing!" The scholar just now said angrily, "You are also a master now, open your mouth and keep your vulgar words in your mouth, just say what you say, and use it if you have any reason!"

"Truth? It's the same as saying that you sour rots will make sense!" Wen Qing sneered: "Isn't the truth today, my lord, the most righteous truth in the world? Master Lu made seeds, and when they became popular, the grain production increased several times. It is a great merit to be able to save millions of people in the Central Plains, such a merit is not worthy of the Lord's praise and reward?"

"You all want to obliterate the merits of the family, why are you explaining to me now? You can just rely on your status as a scholar, what more reasoning do you need?"

More and more people were attracted by the sound of quarreling, and most of them were low-level scholars. At this time, looking at the group of people who called themselves scholars, for some reason, the psychology of envying and approving them changed. There was a hint of disgust overflowing deep in his heart.
Just like what Ye Qian said, what is the difference between this group of people and the officials and wealthy children who once oppressed them?
