"Why are you so weak?!"
"It's no wonder that the treacherous party in the court is hard to get rid of, and the etiquette system is hard to keep!"
Shen Tao scolded bitterly, then turned around and left here, and because he was upset, he saw that his servant was too slow to squat down to become a horse and stone, so he kicked him directly in the abdomen: "I told you to stand, squat down! How stupid s things."
"Why do you talk like that? Those who don't abide by the rules of etiquette are traitors. What does it have to do with us? They only know how to behave?!"
"That's right! If you have the ability, you can go directly to Qingjun's side, don't you just dare to give up the exam, but here you are talking about us."
"There are so many servants, so it looks like he is the son of an official. Naturally, he dares to give up the exam. If he is like us, he will not be able to honor his ancestors if he fails to pass the exam. Let's see if he dares to give up the exam."
Shen Tao's scolding made many scholars who originally supported Wu Zhongxing feel dissatisfied and criticized Shen Tao one after another.
"Enough!"
However, at this time, there was also a radical scholar Wu Zhengzhi who couldn't help shouting at these scholars, and then asked them:
"Isn't he right? Aren't we cowardly?!"
As Wu Zhengzhi said, he brought his servants and chased after Shen Tao:
"My friend, please stop, I would like to stop the exam with you!"
At this time, several scholars followed.
"Do you want to give up the exam?"
Li Tingji asked about Ye Xianggao.
Ye Xianggao looked intently at Wu Zhongxing, who was taken away in front of him: "Why did you give up the exam? Is it because the imperial court no longer favors scholars? How is this different from a profit-seeking businessman?"
Li Tingji smiled lightly: "Aren't you quite dissatisfied with the current government?"
"To be exact, it's not dissatisfaction, but worry!"
Ye Xianggao replied.
After hearing this, Li Tingji asked, "So you plan to continue the exam."
"Not only to test, but also to advise!"
"Actually, giving up the exam is not a sign of cowardice."
Ye Xianggao left here as well.
Li Tingji followed: "How to remonstrate, what if the remonstrance is not successful, what should I do if I only make my parents sad?"
"A piece of ice is in the jade pot."
……
"If your family members ask, tell them this poem by Wang Shaobo."
In the end, Shen Tao did not decide to go south, but stayed temporarily in the capital, only sent a servant back, and went to the capital with Tan Hongzhi and others.
They planned to recruit scholars to imitate the custom in Suzhou that when encountering government misconduct, they would cry to the patriarch Confucius at the Confucian Temple in the capital.
Because Shen Tao and Qin Hongzhi still want to instigate more students to quit the exam, because it is not interesting for only a few dozen of them to quit the exam, but it will still affect their own family's social status among the local wealthy families, so they decided to use the crying temple as much as possible. Instigate more scholars to stop the exam, especially those from Nanzhi.
"On December 21st of the tenth year of Wanli, Xiaolian in the south of the Yangtze River took Wu Fu'an for Tiqi. He was daring and overbearing, openly breaking the rules of ancestors' kindness and nurturing scholars, disregarding the benevolent government of the Holy Dynasty, willing to be a pawn of the treacherous party, intimidating and insulting famous Confucians The crime is heinous, and the people complain. People who read books eat the spirit of the country, but they can't get rid of the traitors. They are ashamed of the former emperor's entrusting the nobles to guard the heart of the ancestral temple and the country. I can only express that I will go to the Confucian Temple and cry..."
Under the gloomy sky, inside the smoky Confucian Temple.
Qin Hongzhi was kneeling in front of the statue of Confucius, reciting Weeping Temple Inscriptions.
Many scholars knelt down behind him, and even many of them knelt in the court.
And Shen Tao who was at the side was already weeping uncontrollably.
"Stop the exam!"
At this time, Zhao Bifan, a student from Suzhou, was encouraged by this, and immediately stood up, clenched his fists, looked at the scholars present with bulging veins, and said:
"If the tyrannical government is not eradicated and the treacherous party is not eliminated, I will never become an official!"
"That's right! Don't abolish tyranny, don't get rid of traitors, don't release Mr. Fu'an, and never raise a career again!"
Zuo Jinxian, a scholar from Nanzhi Changzhou, also joined in.
"Puzhou is incompetent, let the eunuch Zhang Jing and the traitors of the foreign court deceive the emperor, and even let Tiqi go around, treating the scholar-bureaucrats as straw dogs! I am incompetent, dare not go to the bus to write a letter, don't I dare to go back to my hometown to study and wait for the chaos to be corrected Did it appear at that time?!"
Qin Hongzhi also spoke at this time with tears in his eyes.
"Stop the exam!"
"Stop the exam!"
"Stop the exam!"
……
a time.
Many scholars who came to the Confucian Temple began to raise their arms and shouted to stop the exam.
For one thing, the scholars who interacted with big bureaucrats and big landlords like Shen Tao and Qin Hongzhi were naturally mostly from the same class, so they were most disgusted by the current government that suppressed mergers by tyrannical powers.
Secondly, they also have relatives and friends who are officials in the court, and they also know that the current situation in the court is that officials are not living well. Not only is it difficult to make money, but it is also very tiring.
Thirdly, most of them are Southern Zhi scholars, and in recent years, Southern Zhi officials and gentry have been oppressed the most. Many of them are from the same hometown as Qin Hongzhi and Shen Tao, so it is easier to get along with each other, and even many of them are Wu themselves. Relatives and friends of Bank of China, Zhao Yongxian, etc.
Therefore, this time Shen Tao and others had a good effect in the Confucian Temple and the Weeping Temple, and they instigated hundreds of scholars to stop the exam.
And most of the southern straight scholars.
What I have to admit is that since the early Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan has been a place where people gather together, there are many middle-class families, and there are also many scholars, so the average quality of the exams that can be obtained in Nanzhi is indeed higher than that in other places, such as how to be more familiar with industry and commerce Management, more familiar with how to operate money, grain and national taxes, and how to build water conservancy, is equivalent to knowing more advanced management experience and advanced industries.
Although the disadvantage is that these people from Jiangnan tend to take this opportunity to form cliques and manipulate the court's finances, so the Ming Dynasty has always stipulated that the Ministry of Households does not allow people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to join the job.
But I have to admit that if these people are sent to relatively remote places, they are really good at driving the local economy.
For example, Zuo Guangdou, the party cadre of Donglin, has been developing new paddy field technology in the south in Gyeonggi in history, which has greatly increased the grain output in Gyeonggi. Today, Pan Jixun, as a native of Huzhou, has also made great achievements in water conservancy construction.
Therefore, once most of these Nanzhi scholars drop their exams, it will undoubtedly be very unfavorable to the Ming court, which needs to promote the advanced production and management experience of Jiangnan to the whole country.
……
"Stop the exam?!"
"When did this happen?!"
"how many people?"
The court just forgot about the success of the cabinet examination because everyone was arguing about which name should be listed in Wenyuan Pavilion, and there was a heated debate on whether to regard morality as the highest standard or merit as the highest standard. This enabled Shen Shixing and other cabinet ministers to concentrate on passing the exam and clean up the administration of officials.
But soon, Shen Shixing learned about the cancellation of the exam from Wang Xijue, faster than Jin Yiwei, because he and Wang Xijue were also from Nanzhi.
"Gunzi said that there are probably hundreds of people, and most of them are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
Wang Xijue said to Shen Shixing: "Mr. Ge, this matter is no small matter!"
"One is not good for the world. Jiangnan controls most of the world's wealth, and it is a place where all kinds of technologies are monopolized in the world. Often, what rises in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is followed by other places. What Jiangsu and Zhejiang despise is followed by other places. Once Jiangsu and Zhejiang If the test is abandoned, other places will follow suit, and at the same time, the bureaucrats in the DPRK and China are afraid that the number of officials who know about water conservancy, money and food will be greatly reduced!"
"Secondly, it is not good for us and other villagers! If things go on like this, Chu people, Qi people, and Jin people will dominate the court!"
"The public is right, this matter is no small matter!"
"You have to hurry up and face Sheng Zou, Yu Tianzi knows!"
Shen Shixing immediately stood up, and cupped his hands to Wang Xijue, "Please go and persuade me."
Wang Xijue nodded: "I will try my best, but it is estimated to be difficult. Now the right and wrong of the temple, the world must want to reverse it; and the right and wrong of the world are not the meaning of the temple!"
