Chapter 842 Public opinion

Chapter 842 Public opinion

Although the general examination has ended, there are only more than 100 candidates who passed the examination, but most of the unsuccessful ones have not left Beijing yet.

On the one hand, these people wanted to wait until after the imperial examination to know the final result of the scientific examination.

On the other hand, it is because there are a group of candidates who have already planned to study in the Guozijian and use this as the beginning of their official career.

Although the scientific examination is good, its admission rate is too low, and the path to becoming an official is too narrow, and many people can no longer afford it.

With these proposals, the atmosphere of public opinion in the capital is very active, and everything big and small will be discussed.

It is precisely because of the public opinion atmosphere close to the center, which in turn attracts the candidates to stay, which can be said to complement each other.

And the hottest topic at the moment is the matter of the emperor angrily scolding the ministers at the court meeting two days ago.

No matter what the officials thought, when the news gradually reached the ears of the candidates, it immediately exploded in the public opinion field.

The emperor imposed harsh punishments and laws, which were criticized by "the world", and now he reprimanded all the officials during the court meeting, which did not save the scholars any face.

It can be said that Zhao Yanxun's action once again lowered the favorability of scholars for him, and he will have to recite a few more infamy in the future.

Most people will only follow the trend, but those who are trendy in those times regard this matter as an opportunity.

Listening to the "exciting" conversation outside, Wang Xin put down her pen.

"Yang Aneng's winning as a member must have something to do with the last discussion about the court staff. Now that the material discussion has resumed... another chance has come!" Wang Xin secretly thought.

It takes great courage to defend the emperor's reputation by going against the mainstream ideology and the teachings he has been taught for many years.

"The instigator has no successors... I'm afraid that everyone who is successful in this trial will understand the meaning of it!"

The people who passed the test this time were all extremely smart people, otherwise it would be impossible to properly cope with the new test rules.

He did his homework in advance, so he listed all kinds of disadvantages and was able to go to high school.

Such a smart person, there are dozens of people ahead of him, and Wang Xin dare not underestimate them.

He has reason to believe that these people will definitely analyze carefully why Yang An will become the first in the test.

According to the intelligence of these people, it is easy to think of Yang An's previous "deviant" remarks.

Now that the opportunity has come, most of these people will also take this path.

Thinking of this, Wang Xin couldn't help but sighed, and said helplessly, "I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to use this method to get ahead now!"

Originally, he wanted to go out to debate Wang Xin, but now he picked up the pen again, and he still planned to win with his real skills.

Although the current emperor is "mean and ungrateful", he is still doing practical things after all, and wants to bring peace to the world.

That's why Wang Xin believed that people with real skills could enjoy a lot in Zhao Yanxun.

Time passed one after another, and when it was close to lunch, the debate outside had stopped.

Just as Wang Xin stretched himself and was about to ask the waiter to deliver the meal, his door was opened.

It was Chen Hongqing who came in, holding a food box in his hand.

"I really admire you. There is a lot of noise outside, but you can still sit still!"

Wang Xin smiled, and then asked, "You've been walking around all morning, what have you heard?"

Putting down the food box, Chen Hongqing said while holding things, "It can be said to be an eye-opener..."

"I went to several inns, and I was arguing everywhere, citing scriptures one by one, and the fight was exhilarating!"

"fight?"

"That's right, especially the people who got the test this time, one counts as one, and they are all defending the emperor!"

Having said that, Chen Hongqing looked at Wang Xin, then shook his head and said, "Except for you..."

Sure enough, it was exactly as I expected... Wang Xin secretly said.

"It's not just about winning these people, according to my rough calculation... There are at least three levels of students who speak up to defend the emperor's holy name!"

Hearing this result, Wang Xin was a little surprised. He didn't expect that among those who failed in the exam, some would speak for the emperor.

But as long as he understands carefully, he will find that this group of people basically intends to study in the Imperial College.

After the food was placed, Chen Hongqing sat down and asked, "Brother Wang, you have been bored these two days, but you didn't ask what your opinion is on this!"

Wang Xin picked up the chopsticks, held the rice bowl in front of her, and said, "Brother Chen, what's your opinion?"

"What insights can I have, to be honest... I think the Holy Majesty has overdone it!"

"But after thinking about it, we can't change the Lord's will. If we want to be an official in the court, we have to act according to the Lord's will!"

Hearing this, Wang Xin laughed.

"Brother Chen can understand these things, and he is in the same realm as those elders!"

This sentence is undoubtedly very high, but Chen Hongqing thought about it carefully, and felt that it was indeed the case.

Those few cabinet ministers never opposed any of the emperor's will, they only played a role in reconciling the relationship between the officials and the emperor, and they were all like paper paste clay sculptures.

Chen Hongqing sighed and said: "Alas...it is said that Wen dies to remonstrate with Wu to fight to the death, but now it seems that the death remonstrance will not work!"

But Wang Xin said, "That's not necessarily the case!"

"Brother Wang, what's your opinion?" Chen Hongqing asked immediately.

Wang Xin said: "It also depends on what you are admonishing. If it is beneficial to the emperor's cause, the emperor will definitely follow the good example!"

The difficulty is that it must be beneficial to the emperor's great cause.

Such a suggestion is difficult to come up with, and if you really want to come up with it, you will not dare to say it because it will infringe on the interests of all officials and gentry.

Chen Hongqing thought for a while, and figured out the reason, and said helplessly, "This is difficult!"

When Wang Xin and Wang Xin were having dinner, there was still a debate going on in the lobby of the inn.

Although most of the people left, but there was still a stubborn person who stopped Yang An and refused to let him go, and he had to be persuaded to finish the job.

"According to what you say, with the current practice, the world will be peaceful?"

"Do you know how many refugees died of freezing and starvation during the resettlement?"

"Do you know how many innocent people were implicated in those big crimes in the South?"

"Do you know how many poor people have been forced to death by the ruthless officials of today's emperor?"

Hearing this series of pressing questions, Yang An's expression was full of exhaustion, he really didn't want to talk anymore, the guy in front of him was just a fool.

"I said brother, even if you are right, okay?"

Zhao Yaoxing then asked: "If what I said is right, it means you are wrong, that is to say, the current emperor is wrong, isn't it?"

Good guy, Yang An didn't dare to take this sentence casually.

"Brother Zhao, why are you being so aggressive? The lord's holy candle is shining. Now there are traitors making troubles. It's time for me to serve the country faithfully!"

"You don't want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and help the Holy One to clean up the world, but instead put all the blame on the Supreme Being, what is your intention?"

Even if he was a good person, Yang An was angry at this moment, and his tone was full of persuasive questions.

"You are so aggressive, trying to turn black and white, and confuse people... What is your intention?"

These words almost directly point to Zhao Yaoxing's intention to rebel, if it is confirmed, it will be a catastrophe of ransacking his family and exterminating his family.

Zhao Yaoxing questioned it swearingly, thinking that he had an upright reason, but now Yang An robbed him of it, and he didn't know how to defend himself in a short time.

Fortunately, Yang An is not a ruthless person, so he said again: "Could it be that you are colluding with those corrupt officials and officials to complain about their grievances?"

Seeing that Yang An classified himself as this type of person, Zhao Yaoxing was immediately furious, and immediately reprimanded: "You spitting blood!"

There were still people watching in the lobby, so Yang An continued to question, and only said, "Hmph...you know exactly what's going on!"

"you……"

However, Yang An was more decisive this time, he just got up and left, he didn't want to waste any more words with this person.
