"That's right! I'm really blind. I'm just a hundred places to increase. You just want to praise you like this! Don't you see that the court obviously does not value the talents of every scholar and humiliates us! Even if we cut wood and take materials, it depends on the material. Now, it's time to expand the recruitment, and it's still the recruitment when so many scholars have been eliminated. What do you think of our scholars as? Do you think of the most humble and honest thing? How can you take as much as you want?! Who can bear such insults!"

Miao Jitai also said excitedly.

"Don't say it so badly. This is not a bending back, but a reward for the king. Since ancient times, good scholars should have promoted Yulong to die for the king, which is in line with the righteousness of loyalty and filial piety. Your Majesty has now demonstrated his desire to think about the virtuous and thirsty. How can we let down the king and father's desire for the virtuous?"

Kong Wen started talking.

"Shameless!"

Chen Xiance shouted loudly and pointed at Kong Wenxiu: "This is also what you, a descendant of a saint, said? Will the scholars before die in vain?"

"If the king wants his minister to die, his minister must die. If the king is like his father, how can he care about his parents' faults? How can this be regarded as a courtesy of a minister and a son?"

Qin Yuanzuo replied.

"That's right!"

Some other northern scholars said this.

Even many southern scholars responded: "It's reasonable! You can't miss such a good chance to win the Jinshi!"

But some tougher southern scholars such as Chen Xiance and Miao Jitai became even more angry.

"You! You!"

Chen Xianzi was even so angry that he couldn't speak. He couldn't help but look at Qian Qianyi and other officials in Donglin: "You guys, let me tell me, how can we, the scholars, bow down and admit defeat?"

"Of course not! Scholars should be arrogant. The court regards the scholars as straw dogs and kills the scholars for brocade-clothed military uniforms. What other officials can be like for such a court?"

Censor Li Yingsheng said excitedly.

But Qian Qianyi smiled bitterly at this time: "You can't say that. If you don't bow your head and admit defeat, will you still have to rebel?"

Chen Xiance was speechless when he heard Qian Qianyi say this, and couldn't help but say, "Anyway, I won't be able to take the exam! Not to mention the expansion of enrollment of 100 places, even if the enrollment of 200, and even all the candidates were admitted to Jinshi, I would not surrender to this inhumane court!"

"Brother Chen's words make me admire you, and I should also imitate you!"

Miao Jitai replied.

Many southern scholars also expressed that they should continue to take the exam.

But at this time, Qian Qianyi continued to persuade: "Listen to me. The court is an open conspiracy. We must admit defeat. Just imagine, if all the scholars who have stopped the exam this time have to stop the exam, then wouldn't I, Donglin scholars, suffer a lot? At that time, the young officials listed in the court will be mainly non-Donglin officials;

In addition, think about it again, if you have to take the exam this time, will the north and the south be imbalance? As far as I know, most of the people who take the exam this time are southern scholars. When the court really wants to make up for the gap in the southern papers with northerners and other places, what will happen? Have you ever thought about it?"

Then, Qian Qianyi said: "Also, Your Majesty has already drafted an imperial decree in the cabinet. The scholar who deliberately stopped the exam will be dismissed after being found out and will never be used. Even the imperial examinations for three generations are not allowed in the imperial examinations for three generations. If they are dissatisfied, they will be exiled, and even the three tribes and three generations will not be admitted to the imperial examinations for three generations!

If you continue to be willful, it will undoubtedly affect the status of your respective clans in the village! However, first-class families will be reduced to second-class third-class fourth-class, but I am afraid that your clan will expel you candidates who have taken the exam from the genealogy in order to protect themselves."

"What? Why is the court so cruel! We have to stop our three generations from seeking officialdom after the exam?!"

The Southern Juren Ni Jiaqing was shocked.

Qian Qianyi nodded and said, "Why would Qian hide it from you?"

"Since that's the case, then continue the exam?"

Some southern scholars became a little interested.

"Of course, we have to continue the exam. We cannot ruin the overall situation. The cabinet, the nine ministers of all sizes, the two capitals and thirteen provinces. Do you really want the officials in these places to be controlled by the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party members in the future?"

The Censor Hou Xun also said at this time and sighed: "This time, Your Majesty wins again! Only his family of emperors wins in the world!"

"That's right, Mr. Ye also said that there are thieves in the court now, so our colleagues in Donglin cannot do anything randomly and cannot fight against the court. Therefore, Mr. Ye advised me to still come to the capital for the exam, and brought three letters to Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zheng, and Mr. Qian."

Huang Daozhou walked in at this time and said something first before bowing to Qian Qianyi and other Donglin officials: "I have met you all."

Donglin officials and others nodded to Huang Daozhou and looked at Qian Qianyi with a complicated expression.

None of these Donglin officials expected that Ye Xianggao would value Qian Qianyi so much, so they even sent a letter to Qian Qianyi alone.

After all, Zhao Nanxing and Zheng Sanjun are both important officials in the court, and receiving letters from Ye Xianggao is nothing. Qian Qianyi can only be regarded as a clear stream at present, and he can actually get letters from Ye Xianggao. Therefore, all the officials in Donglin also realized that Qian Qianyi might be valued by Ye Gong.

Qian Qianyi took the letter written by Ye Xianggao to him from Huang Daozhou and read it.

The general content of the letter also asked him to dissuade Donglin and others from doing some extreme behaviors and hoped that he could help the gentlemen of Donglin to act in a well-organized manner and have a view of the overall situation, and not be too willful and disobey the old man's words.

"Mr. Ye is an experienced and polite person!"

After reading the letter, Qian Qianyi said this and shouted: "Everyone, Mr. Ye said, we cannot be too reckless and cannot let the court be the ones from me in the future."

"Yes, Zhao Nanxing people came to pass on the message, and they also received a letter from Mr. Ye and agreed with Mr. Ye's words. The gentlemen of Donglin cannot act urgently and recklessly. It is absolutely not advisable to stop the exam. Not only can they not stop the exam, but they also have to take the exam actively."

At this time, one of Zhao Nanxing's disciples, Fang Yizao, also started talking.

"Mr. Zheng also means this. He has advised you that this is not the time to act voluntarily."

Zheng Sanjun's disciples also started to say the same thing when they saw this.

Most of the scholars who were about to take the exam were therefore put aside.

However, there were also a small number of scholars who insisted on taking the exam, as if they wanted to fight the court to the end, and were willing to bear the cost of the three generations of inability to take the exam.

When Chen Xiance saw that Ye Xianggao, Zhao Nanxing, Zheng Sanjun and other big bosses from Donglin came to persuade him, and the court was so strict with the candidates who had taken the exam, he had to sigh dejectedly: "Okay! But this is really sorry for the 87 gentlemen who died tragically and Mr. Xiuwu!"

...

Next, Huang Daozhou handed Ye Xianggao's letter to Zhao Nanxing, Zheng Sanjun and Qian Qianyi and then came to Han Yu's mansion.

"Why didn't Mr. Ye write a letter to me? I am the one who has the highest official title in the Donglin Party now. I am the second assistant! I am the second assistant!"
