Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 152 Being Targeted
The others present were obviously unwilling to believe the thin old man's speculation.

It's not so much that I don't want to believe it, it's better to say that I can't believe it.

Since the ransacking incident happened two months ago, they have been scared out of their wits.

They just want to be their officials well, work for the court, and make decisions for the people.

I don't want to get involved in the stormy sea.

"Your Excellency, you are too worried, how could the national teacher have such an idea!"

"That's right, I heard from Master Li, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, that the National Teacher's development of science education is only for the purpose of cultivating subordinate officials."

"I can testify to this point. I have personally heard the words of Master Li, Minister of the Ministry of Rites."

Others voiced their disapproval.

It is intended to dispel this terrible idea of ​​the lean old man.

Even if the old friends who were present kept persuading him, the thin old man remained unmoved.

He firmly believed in his guess.

Once this terrible speculation surfaced in his mind, it immediately took root and took over his entire brain.

"I'm sure that the National Teachers want to replace the imperial examination education with scientific education."

Seeing everyone's disbelief, the thin old man said sadly:

"My lords, we have to deal with it early! Otherwise, it will be too late."

"Think about it, everyone here, which one is not a century-old family. Our families can pass on for a hundred years and hold high positions. Isn't it because of the imperial examination?"

"Now, if the national teacher wants to subvert this system, that is absolutely impossible!"

"If we all don't take countermeasures, then there will be no place for us in the officialdom!"

After the lean old man finished speaking, he stared at everyone with a serious face, hoping to get their feedback.

soon.

He was disappointed.

"My lord is serious."

"That's right, these are all brother Zhou's conjectures, what if there is a misunderstanding?"

"Brother Zhou, it's better not to say such alarmist words!"

Others persuaded him one after another, hoping that Brother Zhou would stop worrying.

The thin old man looked at everyone with regret.

Obviously he exposed the trick of the national teacher, why is everyone unwilling to believe it!
In order to let everyone agree with his speculation, the thin old man began to spare no effort to discredit Chen Fan.

"I have met the national teacher several times. Don't look at him as easy-going on the surface. If you feel carefully, you will find that he is hiding a knife in his smile. Such a person is the most treacherous and not a good person."

heard here.

The faces of the other people present changed, and they all spoke and stopped:
"Brother Zhou, you can't talk nonsense!"

"Criticize Master Guoshi behind his back. If the Guoshi finds out, Brother Zhou will be in trouble."

A sneeze!

National Teacher's Office.

Chen Fan sneezed suddenly while eating dinner.

"Master Guoshi suffered from the cold?"

Li Yizhi, who was sitting beside him eating, asked with concern.

Chen Fan shook his head in confusion.

"Maybe someone missed me!"

Hearing the narcissistic words of the national teacher, Li Yizhi was speechless.

The old man surnamed Zhou had a calm expression and was not at all afraid of slandering the Imperial Master.

"My lords, don't worry, the old man is just talking here, and he won't talk nonsense when he goes out."

Seeing that the old man surnamed Zhou was still rational and not overwhelmed, everyone was relieved.

The old man surnamed Zhou was not worried about the people present, so he went to make a small report with the national teacher.

Their big families have been best friends since their ancestors, supporting each other, and it has continued to their generation.

However, none of these friends believed his words, which made the old man surnamed Zhou a little helpless.

After much deliberation, I can only take a step back.

"In this way, during this period of time, I should pay more visits to the Mansion of the Minister of Rites and find out more about the details of science education."

"If it is finally discovered that the real intention of the national teacher is really the same as the old man speculated."

"Then when the time comes, I hope that everyone can make plans early to prevent the National Teacher from subverting the imperial examination system."

The Zhou family has been a scholarly family since 100 years ago, and it has continued until now, and the family's power has become more and more powerful.

And the reason for such a brilliant achievement.

It's all because the Zhou family attaches great importance to education.

Because of this, the Zhou family produced three Jinshi and nine Juren.

I don't know how many people are envious.

If the imperial examination is abolished by the National Teacher in the future, it will be replaced by science education.

So what about the Jinshi recruiters of their Zhou family?
Retire from officialdom and make way for those with scientific education background?
Do not!
It's impossible!

"Brother Zhou said to stop..."

One of the hunchbacked old men asked suspiciously.

A sternness flashed across the face of the old man surnamed Zhou, and he wiped his neck with his hands.

The faces of the other old men present changed greatly, and their faces were full of horror.

They were afraid of the bold move of the old man surnamed Zhou.

Murdering the national teacher, this is the capital crime of the nine clans!

They never imagined that Brother Zhou was so courageous.

Everyone looked at each other, they didn't dare to stay any longer.

They don't want to get involved in such a treasonous crime.

What's more, it is brother Zhou's guess that the national teacher wants to subvert the imperial examination system.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the national teacher really has this plan.

It is not them who should be most worried, but those Jiangnan scholars.

Everyone got up to leave one after another, fearing that if they stayed any longer, Brother Zhou would say something more outrageous and drag them into trouble.

They are getting old and there is not much time left.

I just want to live the rest of my life honestly.

An old man with a thin beard, before walking out of the study, advised the old man surnamed Zhou:

"Brother Zhou is too tired these days, and he has started to think wildly. I suggest that Brother Zhou take a good rest, and he won't talk nonsense when he wakes up after sleeping. Let's pretend that we didn't hear what happened today."

After speaking, he left the study without looking back.

Seeing the departure of these friends, the old man surnamed Zhou did not stop them.

It was just a person who quietly watched everyone rushing away, with a flat expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

finally.

The old man surnamed Zhou sighed heavily, as if he was very disappointed with these close friends.

"Everyone is short-sighted, and they don't think about it. Without the imperial examination system, how can our big families gain a foothold in Daming."

"It seems that they can't count on it, and I have to plan it myself."

The old man surnamed Zhou stood up from his seat, walked to the window, and looked in the direction of the National Teacher's Mansion with deep eyes.

National Teacher's Office.

Chen Fan was about to pick up a meatball.

Suddenly, the chopsticks extended into the air and stopped.

"what happened?"

Li Yizhi asked in surprise.

Chen Fan said with a thoughtful expression:
"My heart throbbed just now, and I have a bad feeling. Maybe someone is scolding me!"

Hearing this, Li Yizhi ran through ten thousand grass and mud horses in his heart.

Just now I said that someone misses you, now I say that someone scolds you!

He didn't even know how to continue.

Li Yizhi has never been so speechless today.

Forget it, leave him alone, it's important to enjoy these delicacies.
