Chapter 572

After Liu Yong finished speaking, the whole hall was quiet.

Among the several bigwigs in the dynasty, only Su Qin and Liu Ji looked calm.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites had an angry look on his face, and even the first assistant Xia Junze, who was calm just now, didn't look too good.

Those Xinke Scholars looked at Liu Yong one by one as if they were monsters, and many of them were secretly shaking their heads and discussing in low voices.

"Is this guy crazy, dare to say such outrageous words?"

"No, just for the sake of sensationalism, I almost offended the entire imperial court with a few words."

Everyone felt that Liu Yong was really screwed this time.

Although everyone is crazy, they all wrote some hot-blooded words during the exam.But writing an article is not the same as talking in the hall, okay, at least pay attention to the occasion and propriety.

You said that the stereotyped taxis and the taxis are all idiots, so may I ask which of the above-mentioned bigwigs was not taken out by the stereotyped scholars?

May I ask which officials in the current imperial court were not selected through stereotypes?

If you say that, it's tantamount to directly slapping the officials in the face?

In this way, you can still fall well?
In the hearts of most people, the future of Liu Yong, a wild student, is completely over.

Some gloated, some secretly rejoiced, some looked on coldly, in short, no one thought Liu Yong would end well.

The Minister of Rites could hardly sit still, if it wasn't for what happened just now, he would have stood up and reprimanded Liu Yong angrily.

This is just a new Jinshi, and he has become crazy like this before he was awarded an official.

If you wait until you are actually awarded an official position, is it still worth it?Don't you want to point at the noses of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty and call everyone a waste?
In an officialdom that pays special attention to rank and seniority, if someone like Liu Yong does not have a strong backer, it will be absolutely difficult for him to move forward.

Just look at Hai Rui.

Jiang Chuan was also a little surprised by Liu Yong's remarks.

This guy is indeed a bit extreme.

Although stereotyped selection of scholars is notorious and has been criticized, it does not mean that the officials it selects are all incompetent.

On the contrary, it is actually not easy to write stereotyped essays well.

When Liu Yong said that, he was naturally suspected of overturning a boatload of people with a pole.

However, people like Liu Yong are just what I need. Those who are too slippery in doing things and too cautious are often not easy to have, but it is often not easy to make meritorious deeds.

In today's imperial court, the disease is too deep, and if you want to cure the disease, you have to use strong medicine.

Overcorrection must be overcorrected, which is the same reason that heavy codes are required in troubled times.

Employing people is not about perfect people, but about their strengths.If used in the right place, it will naturally work well.

The so-called crazy students like Liu Yong are exactly what Jiang Chuan needs at the moment.

There are too many rotten Confucians in the imperial court, too many conservative and old-fashioned old people.He urgently needs a group of young people who are open-minded, able to quickly accept new things and new thinking, and who are not bound by rules and regulations, to follow him and give this decadent court strong medicine.

Liu Yong obviously fit his needs very well.

When Jiang Chuan was thinking about these things quietly, he didn't notice that the atmosphere in the whole hall suddenly became solemn and dull.

His contemplation seemed to many people to be irritated by Liu Yong's words, it was the calm before the storm.

Except for Liu Ji and Su Qin, who knew Jiang Chuan best, everyone else looked at Liu Yong like you were about to die.

"Your Highness, Liu Yong is arrogant and arrogant, wantonly slandering the imperial court and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, please strip Liu Yongxin of his status as a Jinshi and impose a heavy punishment, so as to reassure people's hearts and serve as an example to others!"

The Minister of Rites saw that the regent was silent, and the smile on his face disappeared, thinking that Liu Yong's words had also offended the regent, so he was overjoyed, got up and went to the center of the hall and made a loud statement.

The actions of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites caused a commotion, and many new scholars began to discuss in low voices.

Xia Junze remained silent,
Su Qin and Liu Ji looked at each other and shook their heads.

Jiang Chuan's thoughts were interrupted, he came back to his senses, frowned and asked, "What did you just say?"

Minister of the Ministry of Rites thought that Jiang Chuan hadn't heard clearly, so he repeated what he had just said loudly, and finally said: "Your Highness, please strip Liu Yongxin of his Jinshi status and punish him for defaming the court."

Jiang Chuan's face sank, but he didn't comment. Instead, he glanced around the hall and said, "Who else thinks that Liu Yong should be punished and can stand up?"

Several Xinke Scholars who lined up behind Liu Yong looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, stood up together and said loudly: "Your Highness, Liu Yong is arrogant and slandering the ministers of the court. I don't even bother to be with him, please Your Highness." Strip Liu Yongxin's Jinshi status and hand him over to a judge."

Jiang Chuan's eyes became more gloomy, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Who else thinks so?"

After waiting for a while, several Jinshi stepped forward and kept saying that they wanted to punish Liu Yong.

At this time, Liu Yong saw that so many people stood up against him, and the leader was a court official, so it was impossible not to worry.

It's just that although his face became a little pale due to nervousness and worry, his body still stopped, his lips were tightly pressed, and he stared at the regent above the steps.

He believed that His Royal Highness the Regent would not punish him.

He believes that what His Highness needs most now is a crazy life like himself, and he has seen the unique side of His Highness from the series of actions His Highness the Regent took when he entered Beijing.

More importantly, although what he said just now was arrogant, it was not aimless.

What he opposed was stereotyped writing, but in fact he defended the New Deal.

That's the real bottom line.

Jiang Chuan's eyes swept over those new scholars who stood up, with disappointment in his eyes.

"Liu Aiqing, write down the names of these eleven people, and they will be deprived of their status as Jinshi in the new department. And they will not be allowed to take the imperial examination for ten years."

Jiang Chuan's voice was very calm, but before he could finish speaking, the faces of the eleven Xinke Scholars who had fallen into trouble turned pale for an instant, as if they had lost their souls, and some even sat down on the ground immediately.

"I obey the order." Liu Ji, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, got up and said in a deep voice.

The rest of the Xinke Jinshi who did not stand up were stunned for a while, and then they couldn't help being afraid for a while.

Just now, many people actually hesitated whether to stand out, but now it seems fortunate that they didn't.

The Minister of Rites who attacked Liu Yong first also had a look of disbelief, looking at Jiang Chuan, not knowing what to say.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Qian Qianyi, how old are you this year?" Jiang Chuan turned his gaze to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and asked indifferently.

Qian Qianyi didn't know why, but he still replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, I am fifty-six this year."

"56? You're not too young. You've worked hard all your life, let's become an official." Jiang Chuan said calmly.
