Chapter 1918: It's just against you
Xia Yan was already full of complaints about this restructuring of scholars, so he couldn't help but vent his vent to the new officials in the Ministry of Rites.
He was still frustrated, but now it's better, someone dared to come here to make trouble.
He was about to get off the car, but he wanted to ask who was so arrogant.
As a result, the coachman Qiqi persuaded Xia Yan to leave. At this moment, he heard the crowd of people, and it seemed that someone was shouting: "Call Xia Yan out and ask him which dynasty he was from. He really had no king's laws and no rules. This matter must not be stopped!"
When Xia Yan, who was somewhat arrogant, was furious when he heard someone exclaiming his name directly. However, the coachman said in a silence: "Sir, a hero is not suffering from the loss in front of him. Let's go in from the back door. There are hundreds or thousands of people here. If you walk forward, you will be afraid of an accident."
As he said that, the coachman directly moved his horse's head into the back yamen.
This is the place where some idle servants enter and exit. Xia Yan was the minister of Shangshu, and had never entered this door before.
It was still deserted here. Xia Yan hurriedly got out of the car and met several servants. These servants looked at Xia Yan in shock. Perhaps they didn't expect Xia Butang to walk through the door in shame. When they confirmed that this was the master of the Butang, Xia Yan had already walked away.
Xia Yan frowned and hurried to the ministry. Several officials looked as if they were ashamed. When they saw Xia Yan coming, one of them came to report with a bitter face: "Sir, sir, it's not good, it's not good. This morning, there were suddenly scholars outside here, many of them were newly promoted Juren and Jinshi, and he...they..."
Xia Yan only had a cold face and did not say a word.
But I was already snorting in my heart that if these people don’t cause trouble for them, they dare to cause trouble for their own officials.
It's really too much!
He wanted to see what these new officials have.
But after thinking about it carefully, he felt something was wrong. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that these people seemed to have made an appointment. Moreover, this is the Ministry of Rites, not an ordinary place. Can those scholars not know the importance of it?
What, is it that someone is making trouble behind the scenes?
The point is that so many scholars gather together, all of whom have fame and fortune. It’s easy to say one or two, but ten or eight are easy to pass, but hundreds or thousands of them are not the case.
Xia Yan lowered his eyebrows and said coldly: "Ha... why don't you drive people away?"
"I can't drive away!" The hall official replied: "There are too many people, and the mess is very big, but after all, they are all scholars, and the servants dare not take action..."
"Ha..." Xia Yan sneered, and he immediately understood.
He said coldly: "This is someone who deliberately wants to embarrass me. This is also good. Let's see when these clowns will make a fuss. I don't have to pay attention to it. I'll talk about it tomorrow."
He put down his words, and really ignored the matter, so he buried his head in dealing with the matter on the document.
When he was taking a break from his busy schedule, Xia Yan picked up the newspaper as usual to read it.
But when he saw it, he was even more angry. The newspaper was scolding him, the dignified Minister of Rites. It was really outrageous.
Outside the Ministry of Rites, at the beginning, they were only some new Juren and Jinshi. Most of them were observing politics in the Hanlin and various ministries, but today they simply took leave and came outside the Ministry of Rites to make a comeback.
Later, many people also heard the movement and the atmosphere began to become different.
After all, scholars study for fame and fortune. In the past, when people took the eight-legged essay exam, they regarded the eight-legged essay as a stepping stone. Although the court reformed the essay at the beginning, it was difficult for everyone to accept it at first, but in any case, the new system is not completely useless now. For example... In the past, although the juren had a status, it was difficult to become an official. For example, in the past, people who were named on the gold list had only thousands of people, even if they were added to the juren, they were only ten times greater. Even if they were only at the bottom of the ninth rank, it was enough to make people moved.
In the final analysis, it is because reading... is difficult.
How many people have been working hard all their lives, but in the end they are squeezed down in this single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and will never be able to turn over for the rest of their lives.
Once you fail the exam, you will never be able to raise your head in this life. The Four Books and Five Classics you read are completely useless.
In the past, the eight-legged essays were just those proud scholars, but how many scholars were so energetic?
In fact, most scholars do not have the chance to be proud, and because they cannot be proud, they do not even have the qualifications to speak.
Even in the Shilin, those who have to be senior and senior, can naturally speak. If you write well, you will be full of energy and sound, but others will be laughed... Get out of the way and play with mud, are you worthy of being a scholar?
But now, the reorganized imperial examination has really given another 80% of people a new opportunity.
Just like Fan Jin before the examination, their lives were terriblely suppressed and mocked by others, and even their father-in-law looked down upon him. Why is this? Because it is too difficult to take the exam, because they are not good at eight-legged essays.
But now... the opportunity has come. Three years later, there is still a spring exam, and another 30,000 people are selected, so many people who are discouraged have started to pick up books again. Although they have not won this subject, the next subject is still very promising. Even if they are second-class juren, they are still an official, and they are enough to exclaim. Some people from wealthy families have been reading books for decades. Are they willing to live like this and wait for death?
It is also because of this that books on business and law have been sold out.
Your Majesty has given you a new opportunity, one to give you a chance to change your destiny. The opportunity is right in front of you. If you don’t seize it, will you really be a corrupt scholar for your whole life?
When the newspapers started selling today, everyone only realized that the Xiabutang was a new juren and Jinshi who practiced this way, which made many people feel cold.
So they read the book, but they began to become absent-minded.
Since the implementation of the new policy, the world has been turbulent, which has also made it difficult for many people to settle.
It is not impossible for the court to change its orders every day.
More people are watching silently.
The next morning, Xia Yan was in a worse mood. He was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry.
