I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 471 Tyrant
These days, three hundred scholars are still kneeling in front of Zhengyang Gate.

It was rumored that the new Jinshi of that day could not travel through Zhengyang Gate, and more and more people gathered to watch, so in the end they had to make an exception and arrange to leave through a small door, and no more parades were held.

Because of the special circumstances, parading at this time would only make the imperial court more dignified and discredited. The 270 three new scholars also actively refused to parade again.

The attention of the common people was snatched away by the scholars. At this time, the parade was not just a matter of pride, but just making people laugh.

For a time, all the new scholars hated the Knocking Scholars. Before the results of the imperial court came out, these new scholars had already gathered privately in the official residence.

If the imperial court and His Majesty give in and do not agree to knock on the throne, they will jointly submit a memorial to severely punish them. We must not allow these three hundred knocking scholars who have ruined their great joy in life any chance to turn around.

Otherwise, such a shame and humiliation would be swallowed in vain.

Zhu Yijiong didn't even need Zhu Yijiong to take action for these three hundred scholars. The battle was already doomed from the beginning.

After kneeling for three consecutive days, many of the Kouque scholars couldn't bear it any longer, but they didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, because some vendors took the opportunity to set up stalls.

You definitely can’t set up stalls near the imperial city, but you can set up stalls further away and in civilian areas.Many of these scholars were followed by book boys. If they didn't bring any, they could just ask their fellow kneelers to bring food, or they could simply pay more and let the vendors bring it themselves.

Anyway, the imperial soldiers in the Imperial City have received orders from the emperor. In addition to not letting these scholars leave, they can do whatever they like.

Even some of the Kouque scholars, who had been kneeling for three days, couldn't bear the pain of their legs, so they lay down to fish and rest, but the Imperial Guards only glanced at them and ignored them.

Many Kouque scholars took the opportunity to lie down and rest, and many others felt uneasy, feeling that this was the calm before the storm.

There are still a few people who have gradually recovered from the initial fever, and intuitively feel that their behavior of waiting for the scholars is not good. This is almost equivalent to forcing the palace!
What should we do if the person who comes out of Zhengyang Gate that day is not a new scholar, but the emperor's chariot?
Guo Tang, a scholar from Ji'an, was one of them: "I'm afraid your Majesty will not give in."

"Why do you say that?" His friend He Tan, who had just finished his rest and continued to knock on the temple, was a little unhappy. "We all have the reputation of being a civil servant, and we are also asking for orders for the world's scholars. Since your Majesty is a wise king and a holy master, you should think twice. Then go ahead.”

Guo Tang shook his head: "Your Majesty is both a wise king and... the founding hero of the country. If we had not kowtowed before, but had jointly signed a petition, maybe your Majesty would have given in, but now, we are forcing your Majesty to make a choice!"

He Tang was startled, and just rested and slept for a while. His mind seemed to finally realize something was wrong: "But... But now we are riding a tiger and it is difficult to dismount. No matter what your Majesty does, is it possible that you can catch us all? If that's the case." , how should I explain to the scholars in the world?"

Guo Tang smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that Your Majesty has never thought of confessing. Besides, we are just three hundred failed scholars. A mere three hundred people, without us, is just a drop in the bucket for the world's scholars. . Moreover, I have also observed in the past three days that the imperial soldiers did not pay attention to what I was doing. Even if I did not knock on the door, they would not pay attention. This is very abnormal. "

"To be honest, I have some regrets about why I came here. Although I will not be able to take the exam three years later, I failed to pass the exam twice in a row. The second time was even more difficult than the first time. Higher. Even if Your Majesty is accurate, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass the exam this third time. Why do you think I would get involved in this muddy water? If I just obey the arrangements of the officials, it is impossible to say that I have been released now, although the grade is not as good as three years ago. Although he is an official after all, he can be promoted if he makes political achievements."

He Tang fell into silence. Like Guo Tang, he was a scholar who failed the examination three years ago, and they were both Jiangxi scholars, so they became friends.

In the provincial examination three years ago, he even ranked higher than Guo Tang.

If he really wants to be honest in appointing officials, he will definitely have a better starting point than Guo Tang. Furthermore, considering the establishment of the Ming Dynasty three years ago, the official promotion system is not yet complete, so he might have become a county magistrate by now.

Becoming a county magistrate in your twenties is no longer slower than during the Pseudo-Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty.

He Tang and Guo Tang began to regret it, but unfortunately it was too late.

It wasn't that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, but that a large number of official servants came.Along with the official messenger, there was also a red-robed official.

During the Ming Dynasty and the New Dynasty, the styles and colors of official uniforms basically followed those of the previous Ming Dynasty. All officials from the first to fourth ranks wore scarlet robes.

The red-robed official in front of him must be at least a fourth-grade official. All the fourth-grade officials came, and they brought so many official servants with them that they were surrounded roughly.

This is not going to end well!
The nearby vendors who were watching the excitement quickly closed their stalls and ran away as far as they could.

I saw the red-robed officer who came with a large group of officers, and only glanced at these knocking scholars: "Your Majesty has decreed that all the scholars who participated in the knocking should be arrested, as well as their accompanying book boys, and no one should be spared. His Majesty has ordered a strict investigation into this case, so you should think carefully about how you can reduce your guilt as much as possible!"

It’s over!Now it’s time to play Dafa.

Many Kouque scholars had been kneeling for three days and were tired and cold. Now they were so frightened that they could no longer hold on and fainted and fell to the ground.

Among them were He Tuan and Guo Tang.

This time, the failed scholars gathered around the gate and knocked on the door, and the "Da Ming Yue Bao" announced it to the world, and also brought the emperor's handling results, along with the decrees and orders to various yamen. .

Provinces and state capitals all over the country, including Shanxi and other new provinces that were recovered just a few years ago, are also arresting people everywhere, and they arrested thousands of people at once, because eight of the three hundred failed scholars were from Shanxi. Among those who came, there were two people who had moved to Shanxi.

Now, they all have to be exiled to Liaodong Town, and they may not even be able to come back for the rest of their lives.

Zhu Yijiong's guess was still conservative. These three hundred failed scholars plus their three tribes, the exiled population was less than [-], but [-] or [-].

As for this rough treatment, will it cause dissatisfaction among scholars all over the world?
How could it not be.

As soon as the "Da Ming Yue News" was published, Zhu Yijiong's reputation as a tyrant was completely lost.

However, this is just a tyrant, what else should I do, prepare for the exam.

Putting it into practical action...impossible.

These three hundred scholars are just the scholars on the community list, and their fame is only for the people. Compared with the whole world, it is really just a drop in the bucket, no big deal.

On the contrary, without these people, these potential competitors, the scholars of the world may be secretly happy.

Furthermore, these three hundred scholars can still continue to take scientific examinations and serve as officials. Although they seem to be exiled, their demands are indeed approved by the court. What is there to be dissatisfied about?

Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness. As a scholar, you should bear it.

Moreover, by knocking on the que to ask for orders, what do you think of the emperor?
Foolish king?Or a mediocre person?
Even if we are still dissatisfied, why can't we jointly petition for orders? The former Ming Dynasty and the Puppet Qing Dynasty were so easy to play, why did they have to knock on the door in the new Ming Dynasty?

The bully Emperor Zhu is a duck farmer. Do you think Emperor Zhu is uneducated?
