Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 194
A unique palace test came to an end in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Some people are already in the emperor's heart, while others are doomed to live a mediocre life.

Sun Yuanying, the number one scholar in the first class;

Zhao Dezhu, No. [-] in the first place;

Yang Shen, a first-class explorer;
When the gold list was released, everyone was shocked. No one thought that Sun Yuanying and Zhao Dezhu, who were not well-known, would be the final winners of this big test.

Yang Shen, who was almost expected by everyone, was just a probing man, and Tang Yin, who was deliberately targeted by Zhu Houzhao, didn't even make it to the second class, and he was not the best among the top three.

This time the scientific examination was too shocking, not to mention that many candidates could not accept it, even Liang Chu, Wang Jia, and Fei Hong, who presided over the scientific examination, could not accept it. It's not a big deal for ordinary candidates to be promoted to the altar!

The three of them came to see Zhu Houzhao together, and asked Zhu Houzhao what he thought, and hoped that Zhu Houzhao would give them a reasonable statement. The imperial examination needs to ensure the credibility that can be convinced by the world.

"I hand-picked Sun Yuanying and Zhao Dezhu as the top two in the first class. Naturally, I have intentions."

Faced with the inquiries of the three important ministers, Zhu Houzhao obviously had expected it long ago. He took out the biographical materials of Sun Yuanying and Zhao Dezhu, ordered Liu Jin to pass them on to the three to watch, and asked: "What do the three lovers think are the differences between Sun Yuanying and Zhao Dezhu and ordinary scholars?" place?"

the difference?

Liang Chu, Wang Jia, and Fei Hong were stunned for a moment. They are all scholars, so what's the difference?

Zhu Houzhao signaled the three of them to read the materials in hand before we can talk!
After reading the biographical information about Sun Yuanying and Zhao Dezhu collected by Jin Yiwei, the three of them immediately understood why Zhu Houzhao chose these two as the top two.

Sun Yuanying, with radical thinking, usually admires Confucian generals such as Zhou Yu and Chen Qingzhi when interacting with people. He is a war madman in the skin of a Confucian student.

Zhao Dezhu, a real student from a poor family, helps his family to farm while studying, and he is quite good at farming, and he has a deep knowledge of farming and mulberry, and the things he grows in his fields are often more than others.

One of these two men was radical in thinking, and the other was not as squeamish as a scholar, which just met the emperor's demand for talents.

The emperor has always disliked the group of scholars, because there are a lot of problems with the group of scholars, and now he encounters two existences that are very different from ordinary scholars. It would be strange if he didn't vigorously cultivate and promote them!

"Presumably the three lovers have already seen my intentions!"

Zhu Houzhao said lightly: "Sun Yuanying, Zhao Dezhu's knowledge is indeed not outstanding among all the examinees, but their character is valuable."

"Da Ming is too friendly to scholars. All kinds of generous benefits have made them forget what they are doing. There are constant problems all over their bodies, and all kinds of bad habits have been bred. It is time to rectify it!"

"I hand-picked Sun Yuanying and Zhao Dezhu as the top two in the first class. I want to shape them as models so that students all over the world can follow them."

The tone was loud, sonorous, and extremely resolute. He knew that many people would be dissatisfied with pushing Sun Yuanying and Zhao Dezhu to the altar, but he would not make any changes in his decision.

The gold list has already been released, if any changes are made, wouldn't it be a change every day, and will he lose his face?
"Your Majesty is far-sighted, yes."

I understand what Zhu Houzhao means, and I can understand why Zhu Houzhao did this, but Liang Chu and the three are still a little unhappy.

During the palace examination, Yang Shen performed the best, his answers were perfect, and he had unique insights into political affairs, people's livelihood and other aspects.

Just because Zhu Houzhao wants to portray Sun Yuanying and Zhao Dezhu as models, it is too unfair to brush Yang Shen from the number one scholar to Tanhua.

"That's the end of the matter!"

Zhu Houzhao's voice was full of indisputable, in his eyes, Yang Shen was far worse than Sun Yuanying and Zhao Dezhu!
It's not that he doesn't know that Yang Shen is talented, but what he wants is not Yang Shen's talent and learning. All the starting points for him to look at problems are only based on whether it is beneficial to his empire.

Sun Yuanying and Zhao Dezhu became the champions of this big exam, the second place, which can be said to have caused quite a storm in the capital.

Many candidates and students were extremely dissatisfied, and began to isolate Sun Yuanying and Zhao Dezhu, and even at the Qionglin Banquet, as the champion and second place, there were not many people around them.

Some candidates who failed the rankings even thought that Sun Yuanying and Zhao Dezhu became the top two in the first class. There must be a shady scene among them, and they were crazily discrediting them behind their backs.

They made a fuss, and simply involved the matter of the imperial court's Sun and Moon Academy. For a while, the capital was completely caught in a storm of public opinion.

The establishment of the Sun Moon Academy and the reappearance of the contention of a hundred schools of thought is clearly disrespecting Confucian scholars and saints. The imperial court is trying to rub the faces of scholars all over the world on the ground.

Due to the scientific research, a large number of scholars gathered in the capital. They shouted and demonstrated non-stop all day long. After eating the weights, they became determined and wanted the imperial court to cancel the establishment of the Sun Moon Academy.

This era is the era of Confucianism, it is the era of their scholars, a hundred schools of thought contend, don't even think about it.

Once the era of contention among a hundred schools of thought begins, it will be very difficult for them to maintain their noble status!

Although their status is not very high now, under Zhu Houzhao's continuous suppression, all the privileges they had in the past have disappeared, but no matter what, they still have an extremely lofty status. Treat it like a Wenqu star.

"I implore Your Majesty to take back the original order. The Sun Moon Academy must not be established. The contention of a hundred schools of thought is even more harmful to the country and the people. Your Majesty, please think twice."

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

Just when a large number of scholars were making a fuss, the most representative Confucianism, Shandong Confucianism, spoke out!
Kong Wenshao, the master of the Confucian family, said that saints were also born in an era when a hundred schools of thought contended, so he restarted a hundred schools of thought to contend with the emperor, which was 1 supports.

As soon as this remark came out, the world fell silent!

The large number of scholars who are still asking the court to cancel the Sun Moon Academy are even more dumbfounded. They are fighting for the rights and interests of Confucian scholars. As a result, Yan Shenggong, the leader of Confucianism, stabbed them fiercely in the back.

The ministers are about to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first!
They finally understood Jiang Wei's helplessness when he surrendered without any resistance to Liu Chan during the Three Kingdoms period!

The descendant of the sage, Yan Shenggong, expressed his support for the court to establish the Sun Moon Academy, and all the scholars had no reason to continue to make trouble.

Using a saint as an excuse must be tenable.

A vigorous public opinion war ended in such an anticlimactic manner!

From the beginning to the end, Zhu Houzhao didn't show his face once, but he calmed down the storm with ease, which made the officials sigh that the emperor was becoming more and more unfathomable.

While at the Confucian Mansion in Shandong, Qiu Ju said to Kong Wenshao indifferently: "You did a good job."

Kong Wenshao wanted to cry, but if the dead eunuch Qiu Ju hadn't forced him with a sword, how could he have said such self-destructive words about the Great Wall.

He is not stupid, and he understands that once the era of contention among a hundred schools of thought is restarted, the status of the Kong family will plummet several times, but he has no choice but to do what Qiu Ju said, and his whole family will die.

He had no doubts whether Qiu Ju could do it. As a descendant of a saint, it is okay to scare others, but it is completely useless to Qiu Ju. As long as he is not obedient, Qiu Ju dares to use the blood of the Kong family to stain his sword.

　Short-circuit thinking, just one update!
