Chapter 175: Polar Reversal (Subscription Request)

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

"This kid is really cunning!"

Outside the Wanshou Palace.

The imperial guards, factory guards, and soldiers of the imperial army stationed here all looked at the hall where the laughter came from with puzzled eyes.

Inside the palace.

Jiajing lay on his side on the platform, holding the latest news from Yanfu Lane that Huang Jin had just delivered.

Finally, he couldn't help laughing.

Huang Jin and Lu Fang were also laughing beside them, watching their master laughing so hard that tears came out of his eyes.

After a while.

Only then did Jiajing shout out loudly and happily.

"Just let this kid!"

"Teach these useless people who have read so many books of saints a lesson."

"What are the rules?"

Huang Jin looked at Lu Fang beside him.

Lu Fang's eyes turned, and then he stepped forward and whispered, "Master, Yan Shidu is very smart, so he has passed this test."

Jiajing's smile disappeared, and then he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Fang and Huang Jin.

"He has passed the test."

Lu Fang nodded and stepped back silently.

Jiajing had an amused look on his face.

This time he issued an imperial decree to appoint Yan Shaoting as the chief examiner for the next year's spring examination of Renxu.

Firstly, it was indeed to compensate Yan Shaoting, who was full of passion, worked hard to govern the country, and wanted to renew the Ming Dynasty but was helpless.

Secondly, it is a test.

If even such a small matter cannot be resolved.

Then this compensation would not be his.

By then, Xiyuan could issue another decree, stating that it was the will of the scholars and the people, and expel Yan Shaoting from the list of examiners for the spring examination of the Renxu year.

just now.

There is no need to issue this decree.

A few smiles flashed in Jiajing's eyes.

Lu Fang suddenly whispered, "Master, the news from Wenyuan Pavilion."

Jiajing raised his head: "What's the matter?"

Lu Fang whispered even more quietly, "Patient Yan submitted a memorial to the cabinet today, saying that the court should strictly investigate private lectures that are not related to Confucian classics and imperial examinations, and strictly prohibit students from discussing matters."

Jiajing couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and his gaze became long.

Not long after.

Jiajing asked again: "What does the cabinet mean?"

Lü Fang replied: "Lord Yan, Lord Yuan, and Lord Gao all expressed their agreement, and finally Lord Xu also nodded in agreement. Lord Yan then asked Lord Yuan to urge the Ministry of Rites to handle the matter."

Jiajing sneered immediately.

"No matter what, let the cabinet fight among themselves."

After saying that.

Jiajing suddenly smiled again.

Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, Lu Fang silently shut his mouth.

And in Yanfu Lane.

The scholars who were seated and had tea to drink and fruits to eat also kept their mouths shut and did not utter a word.

When Yan Shaoting announced that he would go to Xiyuan in person to resign.

The faces of these scholars were even more tense.

Seeing that the time had come, Yan Shaoting took a step forward and walked to the highest step in front of the door.

He said loudly: "I have no talent, knowledge or ability, my position is low and my knowledge is shallow. If I serve as an examiner for the Spring Examination, it will bring shame to all of you students. I don't want to! If I go to the West Garden today, it will be an offense to the majesty of heaven and I will be charged with a serious crime. Even if I die, I will not let you students be humiliated!"

Yan Shaoting's voice was exceptionally loud.

Even at the two ends of Yanfu Lane, which was farthest from the government gate, one could hear it clearly.

His tone was even more generous.

He looked like he was ready to risk his life.

Without waiting for Xu Shixing and Wang Xijue to stand up.

Several people stood up immediately.

"Yan Shidu can't do that!"

"You must not read it as a servant!"

"We don't want...we don't want Yan Shidu to do this, and we dare not ask Yan Shidu to take such a risk and anger Your Majesty, which will result in the death penalty..."

"..."

When the people in front stood up to persuade them.

More candidates also stood up.

Xu Shixing and Wang Xijue also stood up.

Everyone spoke up and persuaded Yan Shaoting not to go to the Western Garden to meet the emperor.

This group of people are already in a state of confusion at this moment.

Yan Shaoting has already said this.

Could they really get Yan Shaoting to go to Xiyuan to meet the emperor and resign from the position of chief examiner of the spring examination of the Renxu year?
By then, it would be like they forced the court officials to death today!
Even if Yan Shaoting did not die, the emperor would definitely punish him severely.

At that time.

They could not escape the crime of oppressing court officials.

Such students will be successful in the imperial examination.

I’m afraid his reputation in the court will be ruined in the future.

Yan Shaoting didn't care and went down another step.

Xu Shixing, Wang Xijue and other candidates who were sitting in front of the palace gate were startled and rushed over.

"Yan Shidu!"

"Don't go to Xiyuan to ask for your resignation!"

"Please think twice before moving forward!"

"..."

Even Xu Shixing and Wang Xijue looked anxious.

If Yan Shaoting really went to Xiyuan, their reputation would be ruined for the rest of their lives.

Xu Shixing clenched his teeth and looked at Wang Xijue anxiously.

At that time, I felt that I could not come to Yanfu Lane.

It's better now.

If they were to be accused of forcing an official of the time to death, they would not have to return home and would be content to live in exile from now on.

Yan Shaoting, however, had a solemn expression on his face, and looked like he was not afraid of death at all.

"Dear students!"

"No need to persuade me! I have made up my mind!"

"The Yan family still has a few taels of wealth, enough to buy me a coffin!" he said.

Yan Shaoting walked down another step.

All the candidates were panicked.

From the back to the front, a huge crowd of people crowded onto the stairs, blocking Yan Shaoting tightly.

Lu Yi, who was standing aside, was almost dumbfounded.

I can't help but feel endless admiration in my heart.

My brother-in-law is really awesome.

Now it is the turn of these candidates to beg their brother-in-law to secure the position of chief examiner for the Spring Examination of the Renxu Year.

Even the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, Lu Shizhong, and the educational official of Northern Zhili, Yu Ye, who were invited to take charge today, were extremely surprised and surprised.

Originally, they also thought that something might happen today.

Even if this trip is not to help Yan Shaoting out of trouble, it is to stop the chaos before it happens.

Who can imagine.

The situation has developed into what it is now.

Just in front of Yanfu Lane, the situation had already reversed.

alley.

Yan Shifan just happened to come back holding the iron ruler.

"Hey, those boys!"

"How dare you bully my Yan family!"

"Are the laws of this country not strict?"

Yan Shifan stood at the entrance of the alley with a ruler in his hand, looking at the candidates who had rushed to the door of his house to stop Yan Shaoting.

He just thought that these people were going to attack the Yan Mansion and beat up his son.

Yan Shifan's eyes instantly became bloodshot.

"Stop hurting my son!"

The young cabinet minister roared and rushed towards his door.

Yan Shaoting was standing high up, so he could see clearly.

He immediately looked at Lu Yi standing beside him.

Lu Yi's face also changed drastically. He kicked his feet and flew into the air. With the help of the auspicious stone beast at the door, he lightly clapped his hands and leaped into the air, passing over everyone.

He actually jumped out of the crowded crowd in front of the mansion.

But Lu Yi did not dare to stop.

He hurriedly ran over to stop Yan Shifan who was rushing over.

"Shibo!"

Yan Shifan's eyes were glaring: "Don't try to stop me!"

Lu Yi had no choice but to stretch out his hands and grab Yan Shifan's arms.

The iron ruler originally held in Yan Shifan's hand also fell to Lu Yi's waist.

Without waiting for Yan Shifan to speak again.

Lu Yi hurriedly explained, "Uncle! These candidates are trying to stop my brother-in-law from going to Xiyuan to resign as the examiner of the Spring Examination!"

Yan Shifan didn't hear it clearly.

"I know they want Shao Ting to resign at Xiyuan..."

"Ok?"

Yan Shifan suddenly reacted, and a little bit of doubt appeared on his face.

Lu Yi suppressed his laughter and nodded, "I was trying to stop my brother-in-law from going to Xiyuan..."

At the moment, Lu Yi was unable to explain clearly what was going on.

Yan Shifan turned his gaze, looked over Lu Yi's shoulder, and looked at the scholars at the door who all turned their heads and looked at him.

His face changed, and he immediately changed his tone and shouted: "I said this kid has no talent and no virtue, how can he take on such an important task as an examiner for the Spring Examination!"

"I told you and you didn't listen!"

"See if I don't kill him, so as to avoid bringing disaster to our talented scholars!"

As he spoke, Yan Shifan pushed Lu Yi, who was full of surprise, to the door of his house.

"Minister Yan, you can't do that!"

"Minister Yan, calm down!"

The students didn't have time to think about it for a while.

The candidates who were surrounding the outermost circle immediately rushed over and stopped Yan Shifan, who was looking angry and ready to beat Yan Shaoting to death.

Yan Shaoting looked at the old man with a dull expression as his demeanor suddenly changed.

He really needs to cooperate.

From the other end of Yanfu Lane, the sound of horse hooves was heard again.

"Master Yan!"

"Master Yan!"

"Your Highness Prince Yu has something to say to me!"

People from Prince Yu's Mansion came over on horseback.

Because of the crowd in front of the mansion gate, the people from Prince Yu's mansion had to rein in their horses and stop.

When all the candidates heard the name of Prince Yu, they all turned around and looked over.

The man on horseback looked at the candidates who were gathering in front of the Yan residence and were about to cause trouble, and swallowed quietly.

"Master Yan, His Highness said that if Master Yan is free in the next few days, he must go to the palace. His Highness has a few difficult questions about the classics, and I hope Master Yan will take the time to come to the palace to correct His Highness!"

Yan Shifan, who was still shouting for war and killing, also looked surprised and shut his mouth.

His eyes turned, but he was puzzled.

Why did Prince Yu come to help?
Even Yan Shaoting himself was somewhat surprised that Prince Yu would help at this time.

As soon as he said these words.

But in the minds of these scholars, it is different.

at this time.

The scholars in front of Yan's mansion were also full of doubts.

They looked at the face of the visitor from Prince Yu's Mansion, and then looked at Yan Shaoting who was standing on the steps in front of the Yan Mansion.

Although none of them had ever met Prince Yu.

But I have heard a lot about this prince.

Who is Prince Yu?

Although he has been in the palace for so many years and has not been involved in state affairs, the people who teach him are people like Lord Xu, Lord Gao, and Lord Zhang.

These people are all masters of Confucian classics.

Prince Yu's own achievements in Confucian classics are naturally beyond doubt and are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Now Prince Yu actually said that he wanted Yan Shaoting to guide him on the difficult points of Confucian classics.

What does this mean?
Everyone was silent for a while.

Could it be that Yan Shaoting, who had never taken the imperial examination, was also quite talented in Confucian classics?
