Everyone understands what Xie Jin means.

But no one expected that he could... to be precise, he dared to say such words.

In fact, when he presided over this year's Spring Examination, Xie Jin's qualifications were still slightly insufficient. It was the emperor who wanted to praise him and establish his position in the sects in the future, so he gave this good thing that all the scholars and officials dreamed of.

That's the teacher of all the scholars in the world!

But now he said this!

"What Duke Cao said just now is the root of the three provinces' examinations!

Xie Jin spoke slowly again, "They are trying to fight against the new policy! The reason for the confrontation is because the new policy has damaged their best interests!"

As he said that, he stood up and saluted, "I dare to extend one thing, please forgive me!"

"I'm sorry, but I'm not bad!" Zhu Yunsheng said.

"When Emperor Taizu Gao was in the past, there were four major cases of Hongwu!" Xie Jin looked at the ministers and sighed, "At that time, all the officials of the court were as dangerous as pebbles..."

"Is Xie Jin too brave today?"

The ministers exclaimed in their hearts, but then they remembered the old things from those years and couldn't help but feel a little sad and silent.

The four major cases in Hongwu, the Ministry of Revenue's Air Seal Case and the Guo Heng case, all officials killed tens of thousands of people. Many officials were still in office last second, but were taken to the execution ground by the Jinyiwei the next second.

During that period, officials who went to the yamen office every day had to explain suicide notes to their homes first!

"It's all your fault!" Xie Jin sighed again, "But who has heard any voice of opposition? The examination was still held as scheduled. I have never heard of any scholar who abandoned his future because the court killed officials and killed them fiercely!"

"Not only did not abandon it, but..." As he said that, Xie Jin paused and continued, "It is also considered a great opportunity! Because only when many officials are killed can they put on their official uniforms and become officials as soon as possible!"

"Since ancient times, only the kings have not given imperial examinations, but have never heard of scholars going to stop the examination?" Xie Jin paused again and said, "Learning civil and martial arts is sold to the imperial family! They took the exam, which was the way to govern the country, but for their own future!"

"What future is it? Of course it is the bright future of Guangzong as a noble family!" Xie Jin smiled bitterly, "Even if the poor students in the countryside are sent money and goods once they pass the juren, the landlords beg them to hang their own fields in their names and directly enter the wealthy family!"

"When you have fame and fortune, you will be the master. If you are good at being a human, you will help the local government collect grain taxes on the ground. Even if you don't become an official, you will be free of food and clothing in this life!"

"Not to mention that he passed the Jinshi, and put on official clothes and became an official..."

Speaking of this, Xie Jin sighed again, "Is the new policy good or not? Everyone here has the account in their hearts, and the people in the world have the account in their hearts."

"The scholars will not be unclear whether it is good or not! The reason for confrontation and opposition is that the new policy makes them unable to be superior in the future! They cannot lie on the people and the country to suck blood!"

The hall was silent, and only Xie Jin's voice echoed loudly.

"We scholars are calling for the righteousness of peace for all ages, but most of them are for themselves!" Xie Jin also said, "The new policy of the court is to benefit most people, and some masters have no privileges!"

"They are unwilling to accept it. There is no golden house in the book and there is no Yan Ruyu. They are unwilling to accept it and pay taxes like grass people!"

"So they stopped the exam, not only provoking the court to confront the new policy, but also opposing the people of the world! But this is not in line with the saint's articles!"

"Besides...." Xie Jin suddenly sneered, "I didn't use my words to sin against people in the Ming Dynasty! I think the new policy is not good? Can I write a letter!"

"Even if students from the three provinces jointly write a letter! Tell us out the disadvantages of the new policy and explain the disadvantages. Whether the emperor or the court, who would stop them from letting them say they would not let them write?"

"But they didn't say or write, and they stopped the exam directly! Isn't this a threat to the court?" Xie Jin took a breath, "The scholars from the three provinces have all stopped the exam, and some must have been connected, and some may have been trapped! But they are already juren, and they cannot distinguish right from wrong. Even if they pass the Jinshi, how can they be the pillars of the country in the future?"

"The four most basic words for scholars are loyalty to the emperor and patriotism!" Xie Jin was heartbroken, "I didn't even care about the principles of the king and his subjects, and I stopped the exam... What books did they read?"

As he said that, he sneered again, "Ha, even if they have passed the Jinshi, how can they become officials in the future with such morality?"

"hiss...."

The ministers took another breath of air in their hearts. Xie Jin said this too seriously!

He directly called those students who were joking to stop the exam as unfaithful and unfilial.

"Who has anything to say, my dear friends?" Zhu Yunxiu looked at the ministers and spoke.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

Yang Song, one of the scholars of the Eastern Palace who had just taken charge of the Imperial College, said, "What Master Xie said is not without reason! But... it's a bit too hard!" As he said, he looked at Xie Jin, "You shouldn't be too voluntary about the scholars involved in the three provinces?"

"Is it because I am using it, or are they ulterior motives?" Xie Jin sneered.

Yang Song smiled slightly, "The country cannot be without a way to gain scholars. The scholars from the three provinces are involved in half of our Ming Dynasty! If the handling is too hard, scholars and the court will be disunited!"

This seems to be said to Xie Jin, but in fact it is said to Zhu Yunsheng.

So what if it is an emperor?

After all, the world cannot be governed by the emperor alone! As the old saying goes, the king regards his ministers as grass, and the ministers regard him as enemies!

Think deeper, the so-called family and world are actually the emperors and landlords, and all officials are in charge of the tenants...

To put it bluntly, the so-called country is a group of people who have the interests of people, ruling countless ignorant people.

Since ancient times, emperors have to follow this principle, otherwise they will be betrayal of their relatives.

"I understand what you mean!" Zhu Yunxiu took the conversation and sighed, "I don't say anything fake and empty! People have selfish intentions. The new policy is indeed to harm the interests of officials and gentry in the world!"

"What is the purpose of scholars? Can't you be a scholar without privileges? Are you still a scholar? Or an official or a gentry?" Zhu Yunxiu said again, "Add to talk about this benefit, they have been consuming for thousands of years. How can other emperors be able to do it? Why can't I do this?"

"Is it so good for the Ming Dynasty to treat scholars? If the Ming Dynasty is about to destroy its country, it is reasonable for me to impose a heavy tax on it. But the Ming Dynasty is now rising and the country is prosperous and the people are safe. Can I not tolerate such officials and gentry?"

"I still say the same thing, officials and gentry are suffering from the country and are rich. Now, when the Ming Dynasty is about to perish, even if it is a heavy tax, who will be charged?"

"The country is prosperous and the people are safe and sound, and they can still absorb the blood of the Ming Dynasty and the people. Once the country changes, how many loyal ministers and filial sons can they have?"

"I am not afraid that they are disloyal and virtuous. I don't believe that the scholars in the world are all such big rats and borers!"

"Xie Aiqing said just now. Even if a person of such quality is an official, he will not be a good official!"

"They are trying to finish the exam. In my opinion, it's just a big wave to wash away the sand, and the dross is removed and the essence is revealed!"

As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu paused for a moment.

"Can the new policy not be promoted? What is the corruption of the local government? It has only been more than 30 years since the founding of the country, and the land reported by local governments has been decreasing year by year. The accounts of the Ministry of Revenue have reached the local government, but they just can't match it!"

"Can the new policy be implemented without the introduction? The court requires ten kilograms of grain, and the people at the local level have to pay twenty kilograms! Then the court gets eight kilograms, and the remaining twelve kilograms are all divided by officials and gentry!"

"Oh, the interests of officials and gentry were damaged and they were quarreling with me to stop the exam! It is said that the Ming Dynasty did not treat scholars preferentially! The people have suffered so many years of grievances, who will they ask for to reason?"

"Could it be...Is it really going to cause trouble for the people to rise up?"
