Chapter 345 Zhu Yuanzhang: I’ll leave this matter to you.
Ever since he was still king of Wu, Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to his reputation.
In order to recruit talents, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more polite and corporal. Even if the other party did not have much talent and learning, he was willing to give enough respect.
As time passed, the literati seemed to have forgotten that Emperor Zhu started his career as a rebel and should have been regarded as a martial artist.
If he really gets into trouble, he can even kill him on the spot, let alone arrest him.
At this moment, facing the roundup of soldiers, there were actually many people clamoring loudly, wanting to complain to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Looking at these candidates, Mao Xiang felt contempt in his heart.
For the first time in his life, he felt disgusted with scholars. At this moment, he suddenly felt that these people had nothing but hypocrisy.
Soon, the candidates were arrested and taken to prison under the gaze of the people. The "June 47" news spread quickly like it had grown legs.
Soon, the news that the candidates were arrested for petitioning was spread throughout Yingtian Mansion.
Ministry of Rites.
In the duty room, Yu Gan was holding the make-up exam roster with a sad look on his face.
"Master Shangshu, you have also seen the situation. If I enter the palace now, I am afraid that I will make the Holy Emperor displeased again!"
Ren Ang, the Minister of Rites, couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.
"Yes, but what can we do? We can't hide forever?"
Just now, the news came back to the Ministry of Rites, and Ren Ang, who was checking the list, suddenly felt a little worried.
So relying on his personal connections, School Disciple obtained the list of troublemaking candidates from Jin Yiwei.
As a result, Ren Ang felt dizzy after comparing the two.
Among the candidates who made trouble, there were actually several who had been selected by Ye Xuan.
Logically speaking, they should be grateful to Ye Xuan for gaining the status of Juren, but for some unknown purpose, they actually got involved in this matter.
If the report is made truthfully, Zhu Yuanzhang may not blame Ye Xuan, but there is no guarantee that he will not blame them.
Think about it, the first day after winning the imperial examination, you went to make trouble outside the palace. What if you become an official in the future?
The other officials sighed helplessly after hearing Ren Ang's words.
One person said softly: "Master Ye's actions seem to have gone too far."
"Yes, if the test questions were just more difficult, they would have no choice but to admit defeat if they couldn't answer them. But today's test is unique, so no wonder they are dissatisfied!"
Someone quickly responded, obviously not understanding Ye Xuan's actions.
"Although I don't know what Mr. Ye is doing, but now that this matter has become a big deal, I'm afraid everyone in the world will feel that it is Mr. Ye's fault.
"These candidates are also bold. What kind of person is His Majesty? Can he be the one they want to see? Breaking into the palace gate is a crime that will lead to beheading!"
"Yes, it's okay for Jin Yiwei to take action, and he's also been sent to prison. Even if he is released in the future, it will be useless!"
Amid various discussions, Ren Ang sighed, took the list and prepared to leave.
Hearing the last two sentences of the sermon, he couldn't help but shake his head.
In fact, before the exam started, he had prepared appropriate measures to prevent candidates from doing stupid things because the exam questions were too difficult.
Even after the examination questions were announced, Ren Ang did not forget to make a supplementary order and seconded a group of guards to prevent candidates from attacking the yamen.
But it turned out that these people were really bold. They left the Imperial College and the Ministry of Rites alone and went directly to the palace.
Ren Ang felt that even if he went to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and Confucius Temple today, there might be room for maneuver, but if he went to the imperial palace, it would be more unlucky.
After calming down in front of him, Ren Ang silently repeated the speech he had prepared earlier in his heart before entering the palace to deliver business.
After a while, Jinshen Palace.
After listening to Ren Ang's report, Zhu Yuanzhang had a gloomy expression on his face.
He waved his hand and said: "We know the matter. Let's put the list of these people here. You can go back first!"
After receiving the order, Ren Ang quickly thanked him.
After Ren Ang left, Zhu Yuanzhang gave instructions to the eunuch.
“Go and send Ye Xuan!”
The eunuch got the order and trotted out quickly.
Not long after, Ye Xuan was brought into the palace.
After the ceremony between the monarch and his ministers was completed, Zhu Yuanzhang did not go around in circles.
He looked at Ye Xuan, smiled bitterly and said: "Ye Qing works hard, and it is inevitable that there will be times when he doesn't think well. We don't blame Ye Qing, but this matter must have an outcome, otherwise it will be difficult for us to give an explanation to the officials and the world!" "
Hearing this, Ye Xuan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang strangely.
He thought Zhu Yuanzhang was planning to convict himself to calm the matter.
However, Ye Xuan didn't care about this. After all, he was not an ordinary official. The technology in his hands was the future of Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang was not stupid enough to take risks on this kind of thing.
So, he cupped his hands towards Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "If your Majesty feels that I am at fault, I am willing to take the blame!"
"What are you guilty of? Don't misunderstand us!"
With a smile on his face, Zhu Yuanzhang explained: "We just want to know how you thought about asking such a question!"
Ye Xuan replied: "Your Majesty wants officials, so I will choose officials. If you want to go to a colony, you must have strong-bodied officials. By doing this, I am paving the way for the future and giving fairness to the candidates."
"Otherwise, how will the two officials get along with each other in the future, and how will they be judged?"
After hearing this answer, Zhu Yuanzhang finally felt relieved.
He was originally a little worried that Ye Xuan was acting out and deliberately embarrassing himself.
Although there are some problems with Ye Xuan's current explanation, it is easier to accept than if it was really done on purpose.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said to Ye Xuan: "That being said, so many people have been arrested now, what do you think we should do with them?"
Ye Xuan heard this and knew that this was Zhu Yuanzhang's main purpose.
So he replied to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and your majesty is inviolable, but there are reasons for everything. If you punish the leader severely and let others go, it may not only not damage your Majesty's majesty, but it will increase your popularity."
Zhu Yuanzhang originally thought that Ye Xuan would be dissatisfied because these people were targeting him, and even wanted to kill him himself. 1.3
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was ready to kill people. He didn't care at all about the life or death of hundreds of candidates.
But after listening to Ye Xuan's words, he also felt that this method was feasible.
After some deliberation, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Ye Xuan: "You mean, you don't intend to pursue this matter?"
Ye Xuan naturally understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was just being polite, so he dealt with it patiently.
"Your Majesty is a benevolent king. He should practice benevolent government and apply kindness and power together to achieve great governance. I have nothing to lose, so why should I hinder your Majesty because of personal hatred?"
After receiving this answer, Zhu Yuanzhang was happy.
He nodded and said to Ye Xuan: "Okay, in that case, I will leave this matter to you personally. What do you think?"
Now that the matter has come to this, Ye Xuan naturally has no reason to evade.
He saluted Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully, but he was making his own plans in his heart.
