Hmm? Something interesting seems to have happened!
Fang Chenyu rolled his eyes and was about to leave, but when he heard the Jinyiwei talking, he quietly walked to Fang Zhengyi's desk.
Fang Zhengyi stood up in shock: "Please be more careful. Marquis Jianye was besieged. Who besieged him?!"
This is a ghost. The Marquis of Jianye's Mansion is not far from the Princess's Mansion. How could anyone dare to start a war under the Emperor's feet?
He hasn't provoked any ruthless people recently.
The Imperial Guard took a deep breath and said, "What I said is not accurate. It is not a siege. It is a group of angry scholars who are denouncing the Marquis's mansion!"
"They are all candidates who failed the exam. There are hundreds of them! And they are gathering more and more."
"Those failed candidates are very resentful of the court's new doctoral degree in science. They claim that the University of the East has squeezed out the official positions of scholars and demanded that the doctoral degree in science be abolished. They are now calling you out at the door to apologize and admit their mistakes, and then they are preparing to write to the emperor together to revise the decree."
Although Fang Chenyu didn't quite understand what he heard, he was still full of curiosity: "Dad, we don't live there either, why are they going there to protest?"
Fang Zhengyi ignored him and asked in a deep voice, "Who started the trouble?"
The rise and promotion of science will inevitably cause huge conflicts with the current situation.
He had anticipated this, but he had been working at the center, openly and covertly trying to resolve the deep-seated contradictions. At least he had initially resolved the contradictions at the top with gentle means.
The imperial edict for the establishment of a new doctorate of science was posted during the imperial examination, and he felt a little uneasy.
But among the people, at least in Beijing, he has been vigorously promoting his work through the Mid-Levels Daily, changing people's minds.
I don't think there will be any major trouble.
Unexpectedly, this conflict finally broke out... and it was so violent.
Maybe there are too many candidates from all over the world...
Jinyiwei said: "The scene was chaotic and the incident happened suddenly. It is still under investigation. However, from what I saw at the scene, there were probably several people taking turns to speak to the crowd. I didn't see the definite leader."
"Has this matter been reported to the palace?"
"Someone has been sent to inform the palace immediately."
"good."
Fang Chengyi pondered for a long time, then waved his hand and said, "Send more people to maintain order at the scene and do not disturb the people. Also, seal off the area around the mansion and no one else is allowed to enter or leave. Do not escalate the situation. You go ahead and make the arrangements. I'll go and take a look myself later."
After the Jinyiwei left, Fang Zhengyi sat quietly in the study room thinking about countermeasures.
Fang Chenyu asked: "Dad, why did they ask you to apologize?"
Fang Zheng tilted his head to look at his son and suddenly smiled: "Don't do your homework. How about Daddy take you to see the big scene?"
"Going to the Marquis' Mansion?" Fang Chenyu was excited.
"Yes! This is a rare opportunity. Let's pack up and go there now!"
......
In front of the Marquis of Jianye's Mansion, hundreds of torches were standing, making the street in front of the Marquis of Jianye's Mansion exceptionally bright.
The noisy voices of countless people reading echoed above, and from time to time, passers-by who were just watching the show would join in.
There was a man standing on the steps in front of the gate of Jianye Marquis Mansion, giving a passionate speech.
Zhou Maoxue was in the crowd, watching the scene quietly.
Although he is of noble status, he has a wide circle of friends.
However, this was the first time he had experienced such a scene with so many responses.
Although he has not yet entered the court as an official, the wonderful taste of power has begun to spread in his heart.
The servant beside him was already trembling with fear. He quietly pulled Zhou Maoxue's robe twice and said in a crying voice, "Master! Master, this scene is too big. What if something goes wrong? What do you want to do?"
"We can't afford to offend the Marquis of Jianye!"
Zhou Maoxue tugged at his robe, shook off the servant's hand, and stared at the gate of the mansion with burning eyes.
"What do you know, you dog slave? The law does not punish everyone. Even if the matter is serious, it is the fault of the court. Who dares to punish them?"
"So what if the Marquis of Jianye dares to send the Jinyiwei to use force? Don't be afraid, I have the upper hand right now! In a few days, I will be the leader of all scholars in the world."
Zhou Maoxue pointed his finger around and said with high spirits: "Don't you see that more and more people are joining? It's enough to see people's support!"
"The general trend of the world is the people's hearts. As long as the people's hearts are with me, nothing is impossible!"
"I didn't expect it to be so smooth. Maybe I can even dethrone the Marquis of Jianye! By then, I will let everyone in the world know that even if you don't take the imperial examination, you can still be famous for generations!"
The servants were shocked beyond words.
Although the young man was not good at studying and failed many exams, he always believed that he was talented and ambitious.
This is indeed how he behaves in his daily life. He has many friends and is popular wherever he goes.
But I didn't expect that his ambition would suddenly expand to such an extent that he even wanted to dethrone the Marquis of Jianye? Is this possible?
The scholar at the gate of the mansion had finished his speech. Zhou Maoxue shook his sleeves and said proudly, "It's my turn now. You watch carefully from below."
After that, he walked out of the crowd with his hands raised high: "My fellow classmates! My fellow brothers! I have something to say, please listen carefully!"
As soon as he spoke, the scene suddenly became much quieter.
Many people in the audience recognized Zhou Maoxue. This classmate had previously organized a dinner party and invited everyone to have a meal together. During the meal, he toasted each other and spoke eloquently, winning applause from the whole room.
Everyone was impressed by him.
Zhou Maoxue was very satisfied to see that he had the situation under control, and he slowly said: "My fellow students, I am Zhou Maoxue. I don't need to explain why you have gathered here today."
"Although Zhou does not dare to claim to have a great pen, he dares to say that he has a heart for the country and the people. Since Dongjiao University, the unhealthy trend of science has prevailed, so that people's hearts are decadent and the imperial examination is in decline!"
