Chapter 344 Candidates Want To Force The Palace? Zhu Yuanzhang Was Furious!
Chapter 344: The candidates want to force the palace? Zhu Yuanzhang is furious!
Because many of the candidates are quite confusing and inflammatory under the guise of insulting gentlemen or humiliating scholars.
Some literati who had not even taken the exam actually joined the protest team in front of the palace gate after receiving the news.
Suddenly, Yingtian Mansion became extremely lively.
Because of their special status, the government officials did not dare to arrest them directly. They could only silently follow the team, ready at any time, waiting for the superior's order to be issued, or if someone made an extraordinary move, so that they could be arrested. catch.
Soon, the team was outside the palace.
For a moment, the shouts were like thunder, and some candidates holding blood letters stood in the front row of the line, crying and screaming, as if something terrible had happened.
This move naturally aroused the guards in the palace to be very alert, but when they saw that they were a group of candidates, they were also in a dilemma.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang respected scholars the most. Even Zhu Yuanzhang himself was very respectful to scholars.
For scholars who came to make suggestions, Zhu Yuanzhang also set up special personnel to be responsible for receiving them.
In this situation, if they arrest these candidates, it is likely to cause Zhu Yuanzhang's displeasure.
But if they are not arrested and so many people gather outside the palace, they will still be accused of dereliction of duty.
They knew Zhu Yuanzhang's temper and methods best, so the soldiers were depressed and in a dilemma for a while.
"The examiner is unfair and randomly sets questions!"
"Such an exam is insulting to politeness, and I won't accept it!"
"Your Majesty, please punish Ye Xuan and give me justice!"
Amidst the thunderous shouts, some of the candidates also noticed that something was wrong with the guarding imperial army.
Someone who is relatively smart has already guessed the clues, so naturally they will not miss the opportunity to show their face.
While shouting, they continued to move forward regardless of the soldiers' warnings.
Seeing the candidates getting closer and closer, the rotating commander finally made up his mind.
"It's better to attack them than to attack the palace!"
After muttering something, the general gave orders directly to his subordinates.
"Surround them and stop them from coming forward. In addition, School Disciple will report to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to decide this matter!"
After receiving the order, the originally worried and embarrassed soldiers immediately found a backbone.
When the candidates thought they could march straight in and complain in front of the imperial court, the guards had already organized and surrounded them.
Although the candidates were not the only ones who came to protest, there were not many who could persist to the palace gate.
There were thousands of soldiers guarding the imperial city, and they quickly surrounded the candidates.
Facing sharp guns, spears, knives, and swords, even though most candidates believed that the soldiers did not dare to take action, they still lost their previous arrogance.
They have read books by sages and feel superior to others, and even now they are still arrogant.
Seeing the opportunity, Chen Daozhi rode on the servant's shoulders and shouted.
"Dear classmates! Although I am disrespectful when I come here today, I do it as a last resort. I hope Your Majesty will understand me!"
"I'll just sit down where I am and raise my arms and shout with me. I think your majesty will be able to hear our appeal!"
As he spoke, he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"The examiner is unfair and the examination is ridiculous! We ask Your Majesty to change the examiner and reset the examination questions!"
He was quite tall, so he looked particularly eye-catching when he was riding on the servant's shoulders.
As soon as he took the lead, there was a response from all around.
The voice quickly spread like a tide, attracting responses from the candidates one after another.
In the army, the general also secretly remembered Chen Daozhi in his heart.
In the past, the gathering of candidates was just a spontaneous event, but with Chen Daozhi's intervention, in the general's mind, it had become an organized demonstration.
Only in the palace did Zhu Yuanzhang finish approving the memorial at hand.
With the emergence and expansion of colonies, the political affairs at hand of Zhu Yuanzhang have become complicated and heavy.
Because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang increasingly hoped to attract more talents through the imperial examination to consolidate his colonial rule overseas.
Putting down the last memorial in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and looked at Mao Xiang, who was waiting.
"You went and came back, is there anything else you missed?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mao Xiang curiously. This was the first time in so many years that Mao Xiang had lost his composure.
Upon hearing the inquiry, Mao Xiang spoke awkwardly.
"Your Majesty, the candidates are dissatisfied with the test questions of Mr. Ye's make-up exam. Now they have gathered together and made a fuss outside the palace, shouting to ask the court to give them an explanation!"
When Mao Xiang spoke, he was worried. After all, his royal guards still controlled the errands of the palace guards.
…………Please give me flowers……
Some important palace gates are also in charge of Jin Yiwei. If something happens today, he will be blamed.
Moreover, in addition to conducting detective work, Jin Yiwei also has the responsibility of arresting those who confuse the people.
Nowadays, the candidates have joined forces and openly protested outside the palace. If Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to pursue this matter, he would not be able to chop off ten heads.
After all, if his people could put out the incident before it happened, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have to deal with this predicament.
Similar to the general's thoughts, Mao Xiang also felt that it would be difficult to deal with the candidates no matter what.
If Zhu Yuanzhang turned towards Ye Xuan, he would undoubtedly offend many literati.
But if Zhu Yuanzhang really retakes the exam or even punishes Ye Xuan, it will be impossible.

Moreover, adding a make-up exam was already Zhu Yuanzhang's kindness. The candidates did not know how to advance or retreat, but Mao Xiang understood that this had touched Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line.
He was worried, but Zhu Yuanzhang was already furious.
"Absurd! What do they want to do? Do they want to force me to have a baby?"
Because of his anger, Zhu Yuanqiu dropped the pen in his hand to the ground.
The pen fell to the ground and immediately broke into two sections, which seemed to foretell the fate of the candidates.
Mao Xiang lowered his head and was hesitating whether to speak again, but Zhu Yuanzhang had already continued.
"Catch these people directly and send them to prison for rigorous interrogation. Find out who is behind them and punish them severely!"
Mao Xiang's eyelids twitched, and his look at Zhu Yuanzhang became a little complicated.
"Your Majesty, if you do this, I'm afraid it will shock the scholars. You are now recruiting talented people. Isn't it inappropriate to do so? There is a saying that public anger should not be violated this time————
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he snorted coldly.
"Fart, we don't dare to use such a talent! So what about the Shilin Shock? If he can't be used, we would rather kill him!"
"What do you mean by public outrage? We are the emperor, and besides, they are already at fault, so you don't have to worry about it! I'll just bear this infamy!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was so decisive that Mao Xiang did not dare to say anything more.
After hurriedly exiting the main hall, Mao Xiang immediately left the palace and personally led the troops to capture the candidates.
Under the pressure of the soldiers, the candidates quickly huddled together and were eventually arrested and controlled by the soldiers one by one.
"You are insulting Wen Wen. We are going to file a complaint. I am going to ask His Majesty to punish you for your crimes!".
