Your Majesty, I'm Guilty

Ji Shengyuan not only wants to use the competition between colleges to provoke public opinion to obstruct the reform of the official selection system, but also wants to pull others into the water.

He introduced Gu Jin, but he didn't say it. I'm afraid of causing fire to my upper body and provoking criticism.

This mind is really deep.

Gu Wenjun knew it clearly in his heart, but he still got up slowly and said, "I dare not talk nonsense. Only your majesty and the imperial court can decide whether to change the system. But if you want to change the system, it must be carefully considered and should be supported."

"You mean you're in favor of restructuring!" Gu Jin's eyes brightened and her tone changed, and she became aggressive: "you still want to change the system handed down by Taizu? Gu Wenjun, did you eat leopard courage!"

Gu Wenjun argued one by one.

"Of course, we can't change the things handed down by our ancestors. But we can't change them. Otherwise, they all follow one rule and one set of statements since ancient times. But since ancient times, there are always disadvantages of change. Only by optimizing development can we make continuous progress!"

Gu Jin hated Gu Wenjun to death. As soon as she caught Gu Wenjun's mistake, she stepped on it in a hurry. "Oh! So you mean there's something wrong with the current official selection system?"

"Isn't it?"

Gu Wenjun sneered, "you said that Lord Yang himself was irresponsible and did not abide by his official duties. What about the last yamen order? I remember that he was dismissed because of favoritism. There were problems with two yamen orders in succession. Isn't the person who selected officials responsible?"

Gu Jin choked and choked. Her face was blue and red. Then she squeezed out the gnashing words: "that's just a coincidence!"

"Not to mention these Beijing officials. Even the officials in local counties and counties have made many mistakes..." this sentence secretly satirized Gu Changli, Gu's father, who was a sheriff in Jiangdong, and forced Gu Jin to jump.

"Gu Wenjun, you!"

But Gu Wenjun didn't go on. She knew that as long as she was a family child, she could not refute her biological father and stepmother on the spot unless she caught the real handle.

Filial piety is bigger than heaven.

Therefore, Gu Wenjun just retorted, "am I wrong? These deeds can be verified as soon as I turn over the complaint book. If the system of recommending officials and sheltering each other is not changed, the problem of bending the law for personal gain will not be eliminated. If every official should strictly abide by his duties, it would be better to strengthen the official election system to eliminate future problems!

I'm afraid that some people have another selfish intention to refute in every way. They just want to take advantage of the current official election system, but they don't want to think for the people all over the world. "

Gu Jin's face changed dramatically when she was satirized. It was green and white. It was mixed like a palette. It was very ugly.

From the past to the present, he can't compare with Gu Wenjun!

Losers lose all their lives.

The memory of the tragic defeat in the past surged into her heart, which made Gu Jin's heart prick and pull into a ball. She was almost crazy.

But Gu Wenjun just found out the mistakes in his words and refuted and suppressed them sentence by sentence, which made Gu Jin retreat day by day and couldn't find anything to refute.

Gu Jin thought she would win a big victory if she said she opposed the restructuring and occupied an advantage!

Everyone knows that restructuring is impossible!

But Gu Wenjun's remark made many scholars moved, but they were persuaded. The scholar's spirit is that the spirit is still holding a pure child's heart with the world in mind.

Although everyone wants to become a talent through scientific examination and be named on the golden list, an official must also want to eliminate harm for the people and show his ambition. Gu Wenjun was a quick talker, a good talker, and good at bewitching people. At once, he made everyone excited.

"What Gu Wenjun said is reasonable."

"Yes. If it can be made fairer, it's not impossible."

Ji Shuoyuan looked cold and interrupted, "isn't the current official selection system fair? This scientific examination is for scholars all over the world, and everyone has the opportunity to succeed in the examination. Compared with the complete recommendation and official selection system in the previous dynasty, I don't know how much has been improved, but what else?"

"But how many people are qualified to be these readers? Books, paper and ink need money, school also needs family background, important people recommend, and a lot of tuition fees."

Gu Wenjun countered: "even if you take the test for fame, you will be selected by officials for post selection, promotion and transfer. No matter how you look at it, aristocratic families are more dominant. What is fairness?"

When it comes to the hearts of some scholars with low background, someone immediately agrees.

"Yes, even if those poor children pass the examination, they only enter the threshold of officialdom. After that, they are still walking on thin ice."

The outspoken said directly: "if you don't flatter or make friends, you can't get promoted! It's strange if you don't go on like this."

"It's really a problem..."

Not only poor scholars complain, but also the children of the aristocratic family suffer from it.

More relationships, more gifts. The uncle wants to give money, and the superior wants to give beauty. When does it come and go. Sometimes, people are greedy even if they are not greedy!

Anyway, all the money, come and go, will only fall into one pocket in the end. That's the Ji family in charge of the household department! This huge wealth is accumulated by countless blood and sweat.

No matter who took the money.

If such a trend goes on for a long time, it will ruin the country!

No one is a fool.

In fact, there are some things that everyone knows and sees.

But everyone dare not say that if there is no first person who dares to eat crabs, even if everyone sees the crab, no one will touch it. Everyone is afraid that if they take the lead in saying it, they will be criticized by the above.

Ji Xuanyuan is accurate at this point before he unscrupulously let people talk.

No matter what you think, you can only maintain the existing system and will not face it.

But he never expected that Gu Wenjun looked gentle, delicate and weak, but she was so bold, she dared to say! Dare to speak clearly and thoroughly, stirring people's hearts.

As soon as the opening was opened, scholars poured out countless ideas and discussed them one after another. For a moment, the contest really became a cultural conference.

Some people even put up a pen on the spot and wrote an ode on the paper, "... When the sages arrive, they can talk about their feelings. The words of Gu Wenjun teach people to be impressed and admire their high..."

It is conceivable that Ji Shengyuan's abacus is completely empty.

Even his proposal helped Gu Wenjun to take advantage of this competition to speak freely, encourage these young scholars and pillars, and help her majesty promote system reform together.

Gu Wenjun took the lead.

Naturally, he will become the leader of these recognizers.

"Good! That's very good."

Ji Shuoyuan narrowed his long eyes. He glanced a little fiercely in his eyes and stared at Gu Wenjun for a moment. Then he pressed the fire: "serve wine! We all toast our great talent Gu Wenjun. It's worthy of being a famous Gu Wenjun in the capital!"

He had everything from childhood to childhood. He had everything he wanted. How could he ever be humiliated like this. Ji Xuanyuan was extremely angry.

But Ji Shengyuan also knew that the general trend was gone. Gu Wenjun won the debate!

Even if he could argue that the capital learning workshop had not lost, it was impossible to get along with so many scholars. And further down, it is likely to defend the Ji family itself. In order to avoid really saying something, Ji Xuanyuan had to stop.

He even had to endure his anger and congratulate calmly.

Fortunately, this is just a debate among scholars. If Gu Wenjun was allowed to speak in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, or even the whole world, how many would be persuaded!

The more you think about it, the more frightened Ji Shengyuan is.

Ji Shuoyuan was filled with murderous thoughts. "No wonder my sister came out of the palace and said that Gu Wenjun should die. This man really can't stay."

Thinking that Ji Guifei had been punished in the cold palace because of Gu Wenjun, Ji Xuanyuan was even more murderous, but his eyes fell on Gu Wenjun's stunning face. Ji Xuanyuan's heart swayed slightly. In addition to his anger, he also itched.

Although Gu Wenjun will look at people's hearts.

But she didn't read her mind. She just thought Ji Shengyuan's eyes were strange and made her uneasy.

"Childe Ji, admit it."

Ji Shengyuan covered up the past, "it doesn't hurt! Today is our capital learning workshop. There's nothing to deny. Come and drink!"

I heard Ji Shengyuan admit defeat.

Suddenly, the scholars of Wenshan academy cheered. Although they were somewhat depressed, Gu Wenjun said they had lost their temper and enjoyed the wine together.

Only Gu Jin and Gu Yu looked very ugly. But it is not obvious to be submerged in the carnival.

Wine, meat and delicious food, as well as songs and dances performed by the two colleges, soon broke the deadlock between the two colleges.

After the competition is drinking and having fun.

Ji Shengyuan, in particular, raised his glass and held Gu Wenjun back. He also pressed Gu Wenjun's lips to fill her with wine.

The beauty's face floats a dense red, choked by the wine, coughing and tears in her eyes, which makes people surging.

Ji Shengyuan's eyes were hot and flashed his essence.

Gu Wenjun hurriedly pushed him away. When people didn't pay attention, she carefully wiped her lips and tongue with a handkerchief, held the tip of her tongue, and vomited out the drinks she swallowed.

There is no problem with color, smell and taste. There should be no medicine in the wine. She won a trick and never dared to drink easily again.

After checking, Gu Wenjun didn't dare to drink.

There are too many men here. It's easy to have problems when drunk. She must be careful.

"Drink!" Ji Shengyuan was strong and threatening. "Why, the chief of Wenshan academy won the competition, so he can't afford to drink wine?"

Qin Chen couldn't see it. He immediately came to stop the wine. "It's just drinking to cheer up. I'll replace Gu Wenjun!"

Taking the opportunity of Qin Chen to deal with Ji chanting yuan, Xu Xiuyan came over quickly, picked up Gu Wenjun, and whispered in a warm voice, "are you okay?"

Gu Wenjun shook his head.

Xu Xiuyan suggested: "you must be tired after winning the competition. Go down and have a rest first."

She opened her mouth to refuse, but heard Gu Jin's voice: "there are guests lying in the learning workshop. Let me show you the way."

In a flash of fire, light and calcium carbide, Gu Wenjun keenly found something wrong.

What are Gu Jin and Xu Xiuyan calculating?

Her body is fine, and her drinks are normal. What's Gu Jin's idea?

Do they think she was drunk by Ji Shengyuan?

Gu Wenjun lifted his eyes slightly and looked at Xu Xiuyan secretly. After returning from Jiangdong, their relationship has been very complex, both enemies and friends. Gu Wenjun also can't grasp Xu Xiuyan's real mind.

Did he fall to Gu Jin again?

She was secretly on guard, but Xu Xiuyan whispered, "cooperate with me."

Gu Wenjun's bright eyes flashed and suddenly became hazy. She shook her head twice and fell into Xu Xiuyan's arms.
