Beijing, midnight, Li Mansion.

"Meng Yan, you are the head of the cabinet, you have to get an idea about today's matter." Zhang Tianlu, a scholar of Dongge University, said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Lord Shoufu, the imperial examination system is the custom of the previous dynasties, since the Ming Dynasty inherited the four seas, it was determined to take the system of eight shares and Ming Jing scholars, and it has not changed for nearly three hundred years.

Now the saint is bent on going his own way, risking the disapproval of the world, ignoring the ancestral system of Emperor Taizu, which is really a faint king's trip.

This matter has transcended the entanglement between us and others, and I ask Shousuke-sama to be sure to focus on the overall situation. Ma Guangyuan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, got up and arched his hand.

Zhang Tianlu and Ma Guangyuan are both members of the East Palace Party, and they have always fought against the former ministers of the first emperor of the court, but now this matter has transcended the factional dispute.

As soon as the morning court was held today, the courtiers realized that something was wrong, because the saint behaved too abnormally today.

Not only did he agree to the proposals of these courtiers with a smile on his face, but he also cared about several elders in the cabinet several times, and his beautiful words seemed to be as if he didn't want money.

The so-called nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, although this description is a little unrelated today, but Zhang Tianlu was surprised, and he felt that something big must happen today.

The rest of the cabinet naturally had the same idea as him, and after a stalemate in the court for a quarter of an hour, Zhu Cihong finally announced the restructuring of the Beijing camp and the imperial examination, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar.

The courtiers naturally objected, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down to ask the Son of Heaven to retract his order, but Zhu Cihong obviously came prepared, not only ignoring the advice of all the officials, but also wanting to bypass the cabinet and act in the middle of the world.

There is no will approved by the cabinet, and even if the emperor wants to issue an order in the Ming Dynasty, without the approval of the cabinet, this will will not be counted.

This made the courtiers even more indignant, and in the end, Zhu Cihong brushed his sleeves away, leaving the courtiers who knelt all over the ground, and parted unhappily.

But indignation is indignation, the matter still has to be resolved, and the reform of the Beijing camp can be regarded as a mitigation strategy by promising the Son of Heaven, but the imperial examination must not be moved, even if it offends the Son of Heaven.

The hundred officials in the court have always been models for the world, such as today's son is equivalent to denying the Confucian saints and the Confucian classics, so the chaos not only makes their courtiers ugly, but also disgraces the Confucian saints.

Offending the Son of Heaven is at most a momentary unhappiness, if you offend the world's scholars, just wait for the stench for 10,000 years.

"Don't worry, the old man who has gone down to court today also asks to see the Holy One, but if the Holy One advises him to withdraw his will, he will not see it.

Alas, the saint is young, and according to the old man, this matter is not necessarily the saint's idea. Li Banghua, the first assistant to the cabinet, sighed.

Over the past few years, he has witnessed the miracle of the Ming Dynasty, and has been silently supporting the emperor and even today, as long as he is not too much, he has never disobeyed the Son of Heaven, but today's events are really difficult for him to ride a tiger.

"Hmph, who else can it be, it must be the ghost idea of the king of Anguo County on the West Mountain, this young man relies on the trust of the saint, and has always been arrogant and domineering, not only does not take us in his eyes, but even wants to trample the world's scholars under his feet, is it tolerable or unbearable, we all inherit the way of Confucius and Mencius to have this official body, if it is really up to him, how can we have the face? What is the face of the world's readers? What is the face of Sage Kong?

In this matter, the old man resolutely refused to give in even if he died! Wenyuan Pavilion University scholar Fang Yue Gongang said.

If Fang Yuegong can't guess who is the initiator at this time, then he is not worthy of joining the cabinet, although no one has convened today's gathering, but the important ministers of the court and the central government have all come to discuss, but Han Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has not come.

Although this Han Yu rarely interacts with them on weekdays, it is actually the king of Anguo who has a pair of eyes in the court.

What does Han Yu not say? Be a thief with a weak heart, embarrassed as a traitor!

"Fourth chief, although the king of Anguo County is young, but the Ming Dynasty can have today's son is very meritorious, although the reform of the imperial examination system is his Meng Lang's move, it should also be out of ......"

"Lord Meng, the king of Anguo claimed to be your nephew, and it was through you that he entered the court, so you naturally spoke for him." Fang Yuegong interrupted Meng Zhaoxiang without waiting for him to finish speaking, and his tone was extremely unkind.

"Four, what are you talking about? Although the old man knew him, he didn't move around much in the past few years, and the old man read the sage books, and he did things, and he could still tell which was the old man! Meng Zhaoxiang was indignant when he heard this.

"Since you can tell the difference, why don't you go and persuade your nephew? Instead, he came to join us, did he send you to spy on us? Fang Yuegong blew his beard and glared, and his fingers almost poked Meng Zhaoxiang's face.

"You ......" Meng Zhaoxiang stood up and trembled with anger.

"Okay, okay, don't be impatient, but mess up your own position, and you will be discouraged, and we still need to think about this matter in the long run." Li Banghua saw that the more the two of them talked, the more fierce their words became, so he naturally refused to sit idly by.

"That's right, the plan now is to quickly think of a way to let the saint take back his fate, as long as the saint agrees, even the king of the country of Na'an will definitely not be able to resist and disobey the order, and the two of you still don't want to hurt the peace." Zhang Tianlu got up and grabbed Meng Zhaoxiang, trying to persuade him to return to his seat.

Meng Zhaoxiang and Fang Yuegong were originally former ministers of the first emperor, and they had always been at odds with Zhang Tianlu's Donggong faction.

But today's affairs still need to be agreed with the old ministers, and if he doesn't have a constitution and make a mess of it himself, it's not what he wants to see.

"Humph! Counsel for yourselves, and someone in the province will be in his heart! Meng Zhaoxiang's hot face was attached to someone's cold buttocks, and he was dissatisfied with Li Banghua's remarks, so he brushed his sleeves away after speaking.

"This ......" Zhang Tianlu was bored and was hung on the spot.

"Master Zhang doesn't need to be advised, just leave, the old man is ashamed to be with him, and we will discuss it ourselves." Fang Yuegong said again.

When the people saw that the matter had come to this, they had no choice but to give up, and a group of people sat down again and began to deliberate.

However, they all know how powerful the king of Anguo is now, not only the regent of the dynasty, but also the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses in charge of the world's military power, coupled with the saint's trust in him, with their current strength, they can't help others at all, and the house fell silent for a while.

"Why don't we wait for us to repair a letter and pass it to the sons of the Xiangshan Society, the Zhexi Wen Society, the Jiangxi Zeshe and so on, and pass on our will to the world.

I'm waiting for the Holy! Ni Yuanlu, a scholar of the Ministry of Household Affairs and a scholar of Jianji Temple, was silent for a long time and spoke.

The king of Anguo rebelled with the intention of overthrowing the Confucian supreme saint, and the saint vainly ignored the wishes of the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

If everyone in the world opposes this move, will the Holy One dare to turn a deaf ear?
