Not only was he blocked by a large number of scholars outside the Ministry of Rites, but he also saw the newspapers full of articles scolding him. After all, Xia Yan was a respected person and could not swallow his tone.

Today is the court discussion... He has made up his mind and must speak up for justice today.

When he arrived outside the Meridian Gate and got out of the car, many ministers who had arrived looked at him at the same time. Obviously, everyone had heard of yesterday's incident, and even many people cast sympathetic eyes at him.

This is just because Xia Yan said what many people want to say, but Xia Yan seemed to be the first to be the first to be.

When the morning bell rang and the Meridian Gate opened, everyone with their worries came in one after another.

When we arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, we saw that Zhu Zaiyao was already sitting in the face, but unexpectedly, everyone discovered that Ye Chunqiu was smiling slightly and was already sitting on the left side of Zhu Zaiyao.

His Highness King Lu has a high authority. In terms of his majesty's uncle and his majesty's father recognized, he is reasonable in terms of etiquette and law.

But no one expected that Ye Chunqiu would attend this court meeting.

Xia Yan's face suddenly turned out to be ashen.

This is a provocation, definitely a provocation. It is obviously because I know that I will complain today, so Ye Chunqiu came to participate in today's court discussion.

What did he want to do? Is it to scare me?

The clay man still has three points of fire, let alone the dignified Minister of Rites?

After everyone bowed, Zhu Zaiyao said calmly: "You guys don't have to be too polite. Today, the court discusses, what are you talking about?"

If it were as usual, Wang Hua would have stood up and reported what he wanted to discuss today first.

But Xia Yan's temperament could not be resisted after all, and suddenly said loudly: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a word."

So everyone looked at Xia Yan, looking a little shocked.

Didn’t you see Ye Chunqiu here? This is clearly a place to show off your power. Otherwise, in theory, Ye Chunqiu would not participate in this court discussion.

It seems that Xiabutang really can't sit still anymore, I'm afraid it's really annoying.

Zhu Zaiyao only smiled gently and said, "Master Xia has something to say, it's okay."

Zhu Zaiyao's personality is actually quite gentle. Although he firmly supports the new policy, he has the style of the Hongzhi Emperor in his attitude towards the officials.

Xia Yan bowed and said, "The old minister is old and I am afraid it will be difficult for him to serve His Majesty. I beg your Majesty to allow him to retire and return home and get his grandson."

Actually, no one was surprised by Xia Yan's words. This was a rule that the court had always been. Once a minister was wronged, the first thing was to resign. This was quite a bit of a spoiled person, which meant that I was wronged and I quit.

However... no one would do this if he doesn't make people angry. Obviously, Xia Budou is really anxious.

I was chased and scolded by a group of new Jinshi and Juren in the newspaper. Can the Shangshu still do this?

Zhu Zaiyao said in shock: "Master Xia, I have never heard of you who have been sick recently. Haven't you been healthy all the time? Where is the age of old? Master Xia is in his prime, so why is he unwilling to continue to share my worries?"

Xia Yan thought about it and then said, "Old minister... the old minister has something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not."

Okay, the highlight is here.

In fact, all the officials knew what was going on. Everyone subconsciously looked up at Ye Chunqiu, and they were very worried about Xia Yan.

After countless lessons, everyone finally understood that this King of Lu is definitely not easy to provoke. Xia Butang was humiliated. If he contradicted His Royal Highness, what would... end?

At this time, Ye Chunqiu looked out of the matter, as if he didn't think what Xia Yan was going to say next had anything to do with him. He just sat upright, as if an old monk was sitting still.

Zhu Zaiyao said first: "Master Xia said that."

Xia Yan was about to speak, but his eyes turned red at first.

This time, it wasn't him doing the show, he was really sad and angry. He gritted his teeth and said, "I think that the eight-legged essays is the way of ancestors. Now I don't know who is, but actually encourages Your Majesty to carry out the eight-legged essay reform, which has attracted complaints from all over the world! The old minister... saw it in his eyes, and thought about my country and country in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the ancestors, I felt really uncomfortable. The old minister also relied on the eight-legged essays and wrote articles, and was just now listed in the temple. Now Your Majesty thinks the eight-legged essays are so bad, and thinks that the eight-legged essays are mostly mediocre. So isn't the old minister also mediocre?"

He raised his eyes, tears wet his clothes, pointed at the ministers, and continued, "These people are all relying on the eight-legged essays and just now, so are they...all mediocre people?"

"In the 150th year of the country's dynasty, many famous ministers have been relying on eight-legged essays to obtain scholars. Now that the eight-legged essays have been deposed, what face does the old minister have to stay in the court? The old minister dared not complain about the emperor's heart, so he simply begged Your Majesty to beg him to accept his gratitude and return home."

He felt that these words came from the heart, and now he said the resentment in his heart, and he felt relieved.

I've been so upset for so long, and I feel so happy when I say it.

As for how Your Majesty deals with it, just do whatever you love.

At worst, I just retire and return to my hometown. I have no fault. Can I still frame me?

After hearing this, Zhu Zaiyao looked embarrassed. Xia Yan was an old minister after all, and his character was indeed good, and there were many people who looked at him. At this time, after he said something, many of the officials had red eyes. It can be seen that what Xia Yan said in his mouth was exactly what everyone said.

Zhu Zaiyao glanced at Ye Chunqiu.

The little emperor is still young after all, so he has no opinions.

Ye Chunqiu smiled. He knew that it was his own words, so he stood up and said, "What's wrong with the eight-legged essay reform? Please ask Xia Butang to say it clearly."

Xia Yan knew that Ye Chunqiu would definitely not be able to sit still at this time. His Majesty supported the eight-legged essay reform, and most of the time it was Ye Chunqiu who instigated him. Now that he criticized the eight-legged essay reform, how could he be calm?

When Xia Yan saw Ye Chunqiu appearing in this court discussion today, he was not afraid, but instead was angry, and wanted to discuss with Ye Chunqiu in front of everyone. He wanted to see if Ye Chunqiu had always been so clever and could tell a flower.
