The next day.

On the wall of the Jinling Gongyuan, the admission list for the Jinling County exam for 1,000 children was officially announced on red paper. The rest were not hired, so naturally they did not have the qualifications to take the next exam for scholars.

Thousands of Confucian scholars were crying and heartbroken outside the tribute courtyard.

Only then did they shatter the hope that had just been ignited by the imperial examination.

But, they were not convinced!

Since it is an exam, it must be fair at least.

If you examine Confucian books such as "Poetry", "The Analects of Confucius", "Spring and Autumn Annals", etc.

All of them read Confucian scholars often, and everyone reads. If they can't beat others in the exam, they will admit defeat in the exam. They have nothing to say.

It’s all my fault that I am stupid, that I can’t remember it.

However, when they chose some agricultural books, medical books, and ink books that they didn't read at all, they were so embarrassed that they were so embarrassed!

This is not a war crime.

If you fail the exam, you can't blame them.

Who should I blame?

Of course, it would be fine if Xiao Hunhou, the chief examiner, was foolish, but he would also harm them, such Confucian scholars.

"Oh my God!"

"Xiao Hunhou's 'incarnation of Confucian scholars' was deliberately causing us Confucian scholars to fail in the exam!"

"It's useless to find someone to reason, so let's go and ask the emperor to judge!"

"Let's go, let's go to sue the emperor!"

"Yes, this imperial examination involves the hundreds of counties and thousands of scholars in our Great Chu, and more than 100,000 scholars. We must not just forget it. We cannot let Xiaohunhou continue to make trouble!"

"Please ask the emperor to abolish the general education!"

"Take Confucianism!"

Several famous Jinling scholars shouted.

Under their leadership and encouragement, hundreds of thousands of Confucian scholars were extremely sad and angry and tragic, shouting loudly and heading towards the palace.

If the Xiaohunhou's general student system was not overturned, their Confucian scholars would not have a chance to succeed!

Dong Xianliang stood in the distance, looking at the Confucian scholars, feeling sad.

Going to the palace to protest is a huge risk. If the emperor is not angry, it would be fine. If he angers the emperor, he will probably have all the heads falling to the ground.

Because of his previous "Yin and Yang Disasters and Disasters", the emperor was unhappy to use natural disasters to warn man-made disasters. He even almost clashed with Xiao Hunhou and was dismissed from office.

Xiao Hunhou's counterattack was too fierce.

In order to protect him, his mentor prevented him from participating in this Confucian scholar protest.

It was just that several famous scholars took hundreds or thousands of Confucian scholars to the palace to protest and strive to abolish the general education and obtain the Confucianism.

...

Morning court.

Golden Palace.

The three dukes and nine ministers, and the court officials were in the court with a solemn expression.

This is the morning court, not the day of the Wu court. Many kings and princes did not attend the court.

Emperor Xiang Yanran was listening to the report of the Jinling Prefecture Wang Xu on the Jinling County Examination.

Jinling City gathered tens of thousands of candidates, accounting for a huge number of them in the entire Great Chu Dynasty. Therefore, from the county examination in Jinling City, we can see the county examination in the entire Great Chu Dynasty.

The emperor was quite interested in the results of the county examination.

Whether it is the annual examination or the imperial examination, it is all for him, the Emperor of Chu, to "get materials". If you can get materials, it is a good system.

The emperor was very much looking forward to whether Xiao Hunhou's imperial examination system would be effective.

Suddenly, there were bursts of noise outside the palace.

The shouts were so loud that they even reached the palace.

The bus made Yang Jiang look hurried and came to the Golden Palace with this thick ten thousand words in his hand.

"What's the matter?"

The emperor frowned.

"The emperor, thousands of Confucian scholars knelt outside the palace gate and cried, and submitted a letter of ten thousand words to the public car office, saying that this imperial examination was extremely unfair.

Most of the test questions given were books they had never read before.

Confucian scholars said that the test papers are unfair, and the results are naturally unfair.

The Confucian scholars in Jinling requested that the imperial examination adopt unified books and that the imperial examination should be "aborted the general subject and adopted the Confucian subject" and asked the emperor to make the decision for tens of thousands of scholars in the world."

Yang Jiang said anxiously with tens of thousands of words.

In the hall, the court officials all changed their faces.

Thousands of Confucian scholars gathered outside the palace to protest. Although it was not a mutiny, it was also a major event.

This is almost a banishment!

Emperor Xiang Yanran's expression darkened when he heard this.

Thousands of Confucian scholars went outside the palace to petition and submitted a petition to the Gongche Mansion. This is one of the few events in the history of the Great Chu Dynasty.

He couldn't help but look at Kong Hanyou.

The Confucian scholars in the world seem to be loose, but they have a backbone.

That is the Confucius Gate in Shandong, the current head of the family and the prime minister of the dynasty.

Without Kong Hanyou, the Confucian leader, the Confucian scholars in Jinling would definitely not dare to make such a big noise outside the palace gate.

Emperor Xiang Yanran said coldly: "Master, what is this? If there is anything, the court cannot discuss it. It is necessary to ask thousands of Confucian scholars to petition and tens of thousands of letters?!"

Kong Hanyou took a deep breath, took off the prime minister's hat, and bowed his head to the ground.

"emperor!"

"I deeply agree with Xiaohunhou presided over the imperial examination."

"But I do not agree with the general examination of the students. I believe that the standard of assessment should be the way of governing the country, not the trick of carving and insects.

We should use our wisdom to learn the classics and seek talents for the country.

A number of fixed classic books are used as materials for the imperial examination.

If you take everything, you will definitely learn a lot of useless miscellaneous studies.

Craftsmen learn to make iron, farmers learn to farm, all these things... This is not the learning required to assist officials in governing the world of the emperor, and should not be a question for the imperial examination.

Officials only need to understand the great principles of governing the country and being a human being. Other minor techniques do not need to be proficient in everything.

I am asking the priest to give Confucian scholars all over the world a fair opportunity.”

Kong Hanyou said in pain.

He didn't want to come up with this bad plan either.

But Xiao Hunhou was too ruthless. The imperial examination system deposed Confucianism and forced him, the leader of the Confucian school, to have no way out.

The entire court and the censors of the Censorate were no match for Xiao Hunhou.

He won't fight anymore, and it will be too late to finish the four rounds of major exams.

Once this general student enrollment formed a fixed rule in the Great Chu Dynasty, Confucianism may decline from then on.

The head of the Kong family was also in vain. Instead of becoming a sinner of the decline of the Confucian school, it would be better to fight and leave if it fails.

"Oh~!"

Emperor Xiang Yanran was faintly angry under his eyes.

Xie Huyong had just taken the initiative to "resign". He agreed immediately, allowing Xie Huyong to retreat from the position of prime minister and no longer became a stumbling block to the new Gengzi policy.

Kong Hanyou also wanted to resign from his post to force him to take the Confucian subject alone.

I really think he won't agree?!

snort!

Kong Hanyou is one of the few Confucian officials in the court, and the other nine high-ranking officials are almost all noble factions, and they only think about the interests of the family.

If it weren't for his lack of people to promote the new policy of the Gengzi, Kong Hanyou would have resigned from his official position and returned to the country based on his actions of "forcing the palace" today.

He also needs Kong Hanyou to be the prime minister and promote the new policy.

Emperor Xiang Yanran took a deep breath, endured it, and said, "I know what Kong Qing means. Everyone, let's hear what their opinions are!"

"I, please agree with what the Prime Minister said."
