Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 69 Hu Weiyong takes the initiative to slap him in the face

Chapter 69 Hu Weiyong took the initiative to slap him in the face
Hu Weiyong happily returned to his house carrying a bag of gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings.

For him, since he presented the potatoes today, naturally this matter has nothing to do with him for the time being.

Before taking action, he can make suggestions and express ideas.

But after it really started, it was best for him to know nothing and keep his mouth shut.

Not being in one's position and not doing what one wants to do is not just an excuse made by some people.

These words are truly mature words.

Don't reach out, otherwise you will be cut.

For senior officials, this is simply a rule that must be kept in mind.

If you don’t do well, do more and take more measures. This is the most normal ecology in officialdom.

Therefore, after Hu Weiyong put the potatoes in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he had no intention of taking care of it at all.

Anyway, the credit is just a matter of how much, so what else do you think about?
Instead of thinking about these things, it is better to think about how to live a more comfortable life.

For example, Nana, Chun Nier and the others are going to develop some new tricks.

Has the cook thought of some new dishes?

These things are much more interesting than the ups and downs outside.

However, Hu Weiyong closed the door and lived his own life, but a group of students outside caused an uproar.

What caused these things was the imperial edict issued by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"As the right prime minister, Yang Xian has a bad moral character and lacks conduct. He will be fined a year's salary to serve as a warning to others."

"A scholar who commits fraud and slanders his superiors will be deprived of their honors and will never be hired again!"

Once this imperial edict was made public, the courtiers and students immediately became excited.

For most students, they have no idea what is going on here.

Why do some students "cheat and slander Shangguan"?

How did this matter come before His Majesty?
Many students who are not so well-informed still haven't figured out what happened here.

You know, in the eyes of students, "removal of merit and never hired" is a more serious crime than beheading.

If nothing else, decapitation is just a trip to the execution ground alone.

But after being deprived of his fame, it seems that he is alone.

But in fact, his son and grandson should not even think about taking the imperial examination.

This is not written into the Ming Law, but it is an unspoken rule in official circles.

After your parents and ancestors had this punishment, according to the "unspoken rules of officialdom", you will not be able to pass the "political review" level.

No matter how talented you are, you are not even qualified to be considered.

Therefore, every time such a big incident occurs, a group of students and scholars will always feel the same and quickly ask what happened to offend His Majesty.

After all, under normal circumstances, such a "torture" punishment would not be given.

And some information is really easy to find out by asking around.

Especially when there is no need to keep it secret at all.

In the same dilapidated restaurant that didn't even have a plaque, several students who had gathered together many times before looked at the oldest and best-informed Brother Duan with panic on their faces.

But at this time, Brother Duan didn't have any of his usual cool appearance. At this time, his face was ashen and his appearance was haggard.

"Brother Duan, did you really sign and stamp it?"

Brother Duan's eyes immediately turned red when he heard this. After pouring himself a glass of cheap water and wine again, he yelled unwillingly.

"How could I know that the right prime minister can't even do this?" "Didn't I just complain?"

"Am I wrong?"

"Don't you find the questions in this government examination difficult?"

"But in the end, as the right minister said well, it was just to let His Majesty see the true knowledge and insights of our students."

"As a result...I ended up like this!"

"Go to hell!"

"I didn't even have the reputation of being a scholar. Now not only is my own path to advancement gone, but my descendants' path to the imperial examination has also been cut off."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the ancestral hall even if I die!"

"Uuuuuuuuuah, I've been harmed!"

All the students felt desolate in their hearts when they saw Brother Duan, who had been so wise before, suddenly lost his temper and burst into tears.

They had known about Brother Duan's letter before.

They also thought about whether there were any risks here.

But based on what they knew, Brother Duan's words would logically result in a few scoldings from His Majesty, but he shouldn't have suffered such a disaster anyway.

After everyone looked at each other, they understood.

In the final analysis, the target was chosen wrongly.

Both they and Yang Xian, the right-hand prime minister, miscalculated how much Hu Weiyong, the examiner who seemed to be a bit generous and naughty, valued by His Majesty.

After coming to this conclusion, not only the students in this restaurant, but also the complaints from students in the entire Ming Dynasty seemed to be frightened by this "unreasonable" imperial edict.

Everyone had the same idea at this time.

'Forget it, forget it, you can't afford to offend me, you can't afford to hide, just study honestly, the college exam is not far away! '

However, they stopped, but Hu Weiyong was not happy.

how?
A bunch of little Karami are actually so cowardly?

If you don't blame me, Mr. Hu, then how can I defile myself?

Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong took action and wrote a "Letter to Students" in the Ministry of Rites. He asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to print a large stack and post it everywhere.

I have to say that Hu Weiyong's writing can be described as straightforward and arrogant.

"In one chapter of "The Analects of Confucius: Book of Rites", there are two words and thirteen places. Among them, only 'Two, I am still insufficient, how thorough it is!' This sentence is a single sentence."

"I am the chief examiner of this year's Enke examination. How can I allow someone without knowledge and skill to fish in troubled waters?"

"If you can't even recite and analyze the contents of The Analects of Confucius and the Book of Rites, how can you have the dignity to call yourself a scholar?"

"As long as you find the question set by me, you can solve this question with just a swipe of your pen!"

"I am not afraid to tell you that in my opinion, instead of being angry and complaining that my questions are too difficult after the exam, it is better to reflect and reflect on why you can't even remember the famous passages in "The Analects of Confucius"!"

"For me, as the chief examiner of Enke, it is my bounden duty to select this year's Enke from the incompetent people who fish in troubled waters!"

Well, as soon as this blunt and rude statement was posted, students from all over the Ming Dynasty stopped talking.

Obviously, no student is willing to admit that he is a fool who can't even memorize "The Analects of Confucius".

Moreover, following Hu Weiyong's train of thought, it seems... we really can't say there is a problem with this question.

It's just that this question takes a detour and tests students' memory and analytical skills.

So... don’t say anything else, just keep reading!
