Chapter 57 Yang Xian is going to cause trouble!
Yingtianfu, Jiangnan, Jiangxi, North...

Wherever scholars refer to this year, the resentment against Hu Weiyong can be said to skyrocket.

To put it bluntly, Hu Weiyong directly interrupted the imperial examination path of many people.

If this were placed in a fantasy novel, it would lead to the phrase "the hatred that blocks the way is irreconcilable."

If they just complain a few words now, instead of rushing directly to the Hu Mansion to question Mr. Hu, it is already considered that these students are not irritable enough and courageous enough.

As the complaints from scholars from all over the country became louder and louder, Hu Weiyong's reputation among scholars was completely ruined.

Although this situation is what Hu Weiyong is pursuing, in the eyes of others, it has a different flavor.

In the residence of Yang Xian, the right prime minister, at this moment, a group of Yang Xian's confidants were having a heated discussion on this topic.

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Hu stumped countless students with a round-the-clock question during the county examination. Unexpectedly, he was praised by His Majesty."

"Master Hu may think that this can be done for one thing or two. No, there is something wrong with the government examination paper again."

"With a two-character title as the title, a one-character policy thesis was developed!"

"As far as I know, not only in Yingtian Mansion, but also in any place where the Benko exam is held, there is no student who does not criticize him."

"Master Hu's move is quite self-defeating."

"I don't know whether His Majesty's flattery is successful, but how will he deal with the resentment of the scholars in the world? I'm afraid he will have a headache!"

This was said in a strange tone, but after Yang Xian heard it, he praised loudly: "Good!"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned.

Although these people have always been close to Hu Weiyong, it doesn't matter if they have a bad mouth or two on weekdays.

But Yang Xian, the leader and the boss, clapped his hands and applauded them directly in front of them. Isn't it a bit much?

Yang Xian saw the change in everyone's expressions, but he first waved to the servants waiting on the side.

After everyone else left, Yang Xian said in a deep voice:

"To be honest with you, since I was trusted by His Majesty to resume my post as the new right prime minister, I have been thinking about it day and night, tossing and turning, just for two things."

"The first is to do the tasks in hand well, so that we can be worthy of His Majesty's trust above and meet your expectations below."

"Secondly, I don't want to hide it. I also want to spy on Li Shanchang's position as Prime Minister Zuo."

"Yu Gong, those who form a clique for personal gain, unite a group of Huaixi nobles and veterans, control the government, block the channels of speech, and collude with the local government, are a major cancer of our Ming Dynasty. As your Majesty's personally appointed right prime minister, how can I do this? Are you going to sit back and watch these national thieves grow bigger?"

"In private matters, the prime minister has divided left and right, so why can I only be on the right?"

"I consider myself to be better than Li Shanchang in terms of talent, skills, and temperament, but my qualifications and background are slightly inferior."

"But he is the Prime Minister of the Left, and I am the Prime Minister of the Right. If I take him down, who will be the Prime Minister of the Left over me?"

"That's why I was so surprised to hear the news about Hu Weiyong."

As soon as everyone heard Yang Xian's words, they knew that the leader was going to play a confession game today.

After all, he has already talked about this, making it clear that he wants to get Li Shanchang and climb up to the position of Prime Minister Zuo.

So, don't they, these cowardly people, just want to take the lead and hurry up?

The higher the position of the leader, the greater their benefits will be in the future.

Therefore, as soon as Yang Xian said these words, everyone stood up quickly without thinking, cupped their hands and said: "Please give me your instructions, Prime Minister Yang!"

When Yang Xian saw that his morale was available, he immediately laughed and said:

"Colleagues, although Yang has his thoughts on the position of Prime Minister Zuo, Yang is not a random person." "If in the past, Li Shanchang did not reveal any flaws, then we will naturally remain motionless."

"But Mr. Sun's words just now reminded Yang."

"Of course we can't kill Li Shanchang at once, so why not take a stab at Hu Weiyong first?"

"Although this person is no longer the prime minister, he is actually from Huaixi, and his qualifications and prestige are still there."

"If we take advantage of the recent storm to directly take down Hu Weiyong, what will happen to those Huaixi nobles?"

"After all, we are not framed, let alone Zhongliang. We are just speaking for the scholars of Ming Dynasty. Why not?"

As soon as this was said, everyone laughed out loud.

Yes!

It's not like they made this up. They were just following the trend. Now that public resentment is boiling, isn't it all caused by Hu Weiyong himself?

When they thought about what would happen if Hu Weiyong was really beaten down, these officials from Jiangnan flushed with excitement.

Immediately geared up to start assigning tasks, determining batches, preparing confessions, etc.

Obviously, this group of people regarded the matter of "destroying Hu" as a huge event.

The purpose is to give Mr. Hu a little bit of shock from the Jiangnan people.

The next day, early morning.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat high on the dragon chair, wearing a scarlet dragon robe, and looked at the ministers lined up in two rows in front of him through his crown.

After the early urgent matters were dealt with, Yang Xian stepped forward without hesitation before Song Li shouted, "If something happens, we will retreat if nothing happens."

Holding the wat tablet in his hand, Yang Xian bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, the minister has played!"

"Oh, it's rare. Yang Xiang has something to say. Please tell me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were...a bit playful, and his eyes also had a hint of teasing.

Unfortunately, the bead curtain in front of the crown was completely blocked, and Yang Xian couldn't see it from underneath.

He just had an instinctive feeling that something was a little bit wrong.

However, now that the arrow is on the string and has to be fired, and everyone has stepped forward, there is no reason to retreat.

Simply, he suppressed the inexplicable fear in his heart and said calmly:
"Your Majesty, I impeach Hu Weiyong, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and the chief examiner of today's science and technology department."

"As an undergraduate examiner, this person doesn't think about working hard to repay your kindness. Instead, he randomly sets questions and copes with the problem."

"This move not only treats my Ming Dynasty's talent promotion ceremony as child's play, but also makes fun of your Majesty's favor."

"Therefore, I impeach Hu Weiyong for delaying state affairs and failing to do things effectively. I sincerely request your Majesty to punish him severely to serve as a warning to others!"

Now that Yang Xian, as the leader, has stood up, how can the officials under his command, who are the younger brothers, still stand.

Immediately, batches of seemingly unrelated officials, belonging to various yamen, different ranks, and different responsibilities, stood up one after another.

Everyone said "I second my opinion!"

Some officials who were confused felt their scalps numb when they saw the scene in front of them.

Only the sneer at the corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth became more and more obvious.
