Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty Six: The Beginning of the Holy Dynasty
If the junshu only makes the gentry feel a little crisis, then the imperial examination system is like a guillotine, about to fall down at any time, completely destroying the superiority and future of the gentry.
The gentry in various places was completely angry. Even a generation of heroes and founding emperors could not break their foundation.
An astonishing political force began to burst out. In just half a month, the Shangshutai received nearly a hundred memorials, many of which were even guards of a county, officials of the government office, and even people in the center and the army.
In the study room of Huagai Hall, the three brothers Yuan Xi, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang sat together.
"Brother, third brother, what do you think about this matter?" Yuan Xi asked calmly on the main seat.
"This is the foundation of my Yuan family for hundreds of generations. Anyone who tries to stop it will have a dead end," Yuan Tan said coldly.
"Brother Wang, recently many officials have secretly divorced me. In their words, they actually tried to subvert Brother Wang's rule, which is simply seeking death." Yuan Shang was also chilling.
Since they were released, they have matured a lot. They are not the same as the impulse of the past, especially the formal acceptance of titles and Yuan Xi's past grudges and repeated preferential treatment. The three brothers are no longer the same as before. Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan are now dedicated to maintaining Yuan Xi's rule, because they now know that only when Yuan Xi is firmly in charge can they enjoy glory forever and the Yuan family can become a true royal family.
"Okay, with the support of my elder brother and my third brother, I am not afraid. After the new dynasty is established, I will officially enthrone my elder brother and my third brother is the prince. The world belongs to my Yuan family, not to the gentry." Yuan Xi said coldly.
"The King and the Virtue"
After the aristocrats were making trouble for a while, Yuan Xi finally began to fight back, and it was so cruel that it was called the beginning of the Daxi Holy Dynasty by history books.
Yuan Xi first met more than a dozen poor scholars with high prestige in various places in Huagai Hall. After their departure, a terrible storm began.
"The king is supreme, and anyone who opposes the king is a sinner of the country."
"The imperial examination system is the only way to celebrate the whole world, and those who block it are all ill-behaved."
"Erase all those who go against the will of the king"
In all parts of Dayan, countless poor families who respected Yuan Xi extremely and regarded Yuan Xi as a god appeared in large numbers. The military department and the military command secretly contributed to the fire. For a time, many officials who wrote to Yuan Xi to abolish the imperial examination system were blocked.
"Justice is in the hearts of the people, the army, the public security, the procuratorate, and the guards. Any student who attempts to seek justice will be hindered."
After Yuan Xi spoke in Chaotian Hall for the first time, many officials looked pale.
In Bohai County, outside the county magistrate's office, a large number of poor students and people were blocking the door, and many students were holding high cloth strips.
"The county magistrate Xie Ming does not respect the king's orders"
"The criminal is so ruling, what do you mean by governing the world?"
The soldiers guarding the door were swallowing nervously, wanting to drive them away, but Yuan Xi's king's order had already spread, so how dare they take action? Moreover, so many students and the people could not.
Not long after, a large number of troops suddenly appeared, and three officials from the Censorate appeared in front of them with cold expressions.
One of them said loudly: "Dear students and villagers, I am the Censor of the Bohai County Censorate. If Xie Ming is really like this, the Censorate will never tolerate it and will resolutely safeguard the royal power."
"Long live the king and wise, long live the life"
After the three officials brought the army into the county government, Xie Ming in the lobby sat on the main seat with a desolate expression, and the county government officials on both sides lowered their heads one by one.
"Xie Taishou, please follow us," the official said with a blank expression.
"So cruel, you guys are so cruel!" Xie Ming said unwillingly. He would rather kill him directly than be arrested amid the insults of countless students and the people.
"Those who violate the king's order will die!" the official said coldly, and the other officials trembled all over.
Xie Ming was detained, but was taken away directly under the vegetable leaves and rotten eggs. He not only committed a serious crime, but also ranked first in defeat.
This Xie Ming is not only the county magistrate of Bohai County, but also the uncle of Xie Zan, the four major families of Dayan, now the senior management of the Privy Council.
Xie Ming was just a Liezi. In addition to him, officials in various places, prefectures and counties in Dayan, amid the insults of the people and students.
The aristocrats realized how serious the matter was. Yuan Xi, who controlled the lower class and students and firmly controlled the army, even failed to use the imperial edict to completely defeat them.
Outside the Xun family's ancestral home, a large number of students stood here and shouted insults, throwing rotten eggs and vegetable leaves at the gate of the house. A century-old house was instantly insulted.
"How can Cao ministers of the Xun family be the minister?"
"The order of the king should be punished by the crime"
The guards at the door were trembling all over and could only harden their teeth. The wooden sticks in their hands became a little weak. What happened to these people and students who once respected their Xun family? They were so crazy, but they dared not take action because these people had the support of the king.
In fact, the gentry did not know one thing, that is, the students mobilized the people, and the people were able to become talented for their descendants, because only Yuan Xi's policies could give his descendants the opportunity to change their poverty and ignorant life.
"Stop, stop." At this time, an official rushed over with several yamen runners, rushed to the gate of Xun Mansion, and whispered: "The king just ordered that the Xun family was a minister who had made meritorious efforts to Dayan, and Xun Kan was the master of the previous king. He was definitely not a person who was against the contrary. If anyone dared to insult the Xun family again, it would be an insult to the previous king."
Everyone was stunned for insults, and then a student stood up and said, "Premier Li, you didn't lie to us, have you?"
"Of course not. The Xun family fully supports the nine-grade school system and the imperial examination system. It is a family of meritorious service," Li Qin announced loudly.
"If this is the case, then forget it, let's go to the house." Another student shouted, and a large number of students and the people left.
Li Qin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the messy Xun family gate, and sighed helplessly.
At this time, the door of the mansion opened and an old man walked out with many people from the Xun family. When he saw Li Qin, he immediately said gratefully: "Xun Yan thanked Prefect Li."
"Mr. Xun is serious. The Xun family is famous all over the world. Although he has served Cao Cao, Lord Xun Kan is indeed the leader of the former king. Now Lord Xun You has also been enthroned as the Privy Council to walk. The Xun family is absolutely loyal to the king." Li Qin said respectfully.
Xun Yan smiled bitterly, took a contract from the side, and said, "Gongda sent a son to speak at that time, and he didn't believe it, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. At this time, 70% of the fertile land of our Xun family was handed over to the court today, which is also a slight effort that the Xun family has done for the new dynasty."
After taking a look, Li Qin gently answered it and said in admiration: "Mr. Xun is very wise. Only with giving up can one gain. The lower officials will definitely report to the center."
"Thank you," Xun Yan said gratefully. The other sons of the Xun family also gave a deep bow. Only at this moment did they feel how terrible the people at the bottom were under the integration of an emperor.
....
Half a month later, in the palace, Yuan Xi stood on a tall building and looked into the distance.
"King, I'm here." Zhuge Liang came behind Yuan Xi, and his tone became more and more respectful. After this time, Yuan Xi's majesty was comparable to that of the gods. In a simple sentence, anyone could fall to the ground.
"How is it?" Yuan Xi asked.
"One-third of the officials who had originally opposed were replaced, and eleven committed suicide. Those who did not have one letter to support them. Many gentry were surrounded by poor students and the people, and the imperial examination system was determined," Zhuge Liang reported.
"Okay, in a month, let the storm stop and cannot be expanded. Orphans are not to kill all the gentry, but to ban the gentry's name. As long as you have this first time, the rest will be simple," Yuan Xi ordered.
"promise"
"Yuan Zhi has arrived in Jingzhou, right?" Yuan Xi asked.
"Yes," Zhuge Liang nodded. The Wu Kingdom in Jiangdong still did not make any statement, so Guan Yu could only lead a large army to cross the river forcibly. Xu Shu was really the military advisor in this battle.
"I heard that the Cai and Kuai families also received some impact. I asked Yuan Zhi to bring a few books to comfort them and told them that the imperial examination system was not about breaking the future of the two families, but was fair and just to the world. Those with talented people should use it, and those without talent retreated." Yuan Xi ordered that after all, the Cai and Kuai families had great achievements and should be comforted.
"promise!"
