The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

He was worried, not knowing what to do next! However, thinking of Huang Lizhi's promise to him, he felt more confident.

He just didn't believe that Chunyu Chong would really dare to let the Dayan army attack him. You have to know that no matter what, the Dayan army are all Dayan people. If they act arrogantly in Dayan, aren't they afraid of causing resistance from the literati and people of Dayan?

He felt that Chunyu Chong only brought his troops here to scare him, and he would never dare to let these soldiers touch him.

When he saw Chunyu Chong, the Minister of Rites Geng Jingwen glanced at him coldly with an arrogant look on his face.

"Geng Jingwen, His Majesty has issued an edict. Please ask Minister Geng and other officials from the Ministry of Rites to receive it!" Chunyu Chong looked at Geng Jingwen with a slightly cold expression and a hint of amusement on his lips.

The old guy in front of him still wants to get away with it, but it is not that easy. Now, he has the imperial edict in his hand and elite soldiers to help him. He doesn't believe that Geng Jingwen can still resist.

However, as soon as he said this, most of the officials in the Ministry of Rites knelt down, and only Geng Jingwen, the new Vice Minister of Rites, and several of their confidants stood there with disdainful looks on their faces.

"Chun Yu Chong, are you spreading a false imperial edict? I have never heard of His Majesty issuing an imperial edict." Geng Jingwen looked at Chun Yu Chong coldly.

Since he was already prepared for the fight, he was no longer afraid. He wanted to see whether Chunyu Chong really dared to use the Yan army to attack him. Once Chunyu Chong allowed the Yan army to take action, he could use this opportunity to incite the literati around him to launch a counterattack against Chunyu Chong.

It would be best if the contradictions could be intensified and the literati would rebel. By then, even an imperial edict would be useless.

However, as soon as Geng Jingwen said this, Chun Yu Chong suddenly said coldly: "Come here, Geng Jingwen really wants to rebel, openly defy the imperial edict, and end the careers of all the scholars in our dynasty. Take him down, beat him, and put him in jail, waiting for your majesty to deal with him!"

As soon as Chun Yu Chong said this, Geng Jingwen was stunned. He didn't expect Chun Yu Chong to be so decisive. He didn't even give him a chance to speak and directly put such a big hat on him.

Rebellion! Ruining one's career! He could still argue against the charge of rebellion, but the charge of ruining one's career was enough to make Geng Jingwen despised by all the literati.

You are a high-ranking official now, and you want to stop us from becoming officials? He wanted to open his mouth to explain and provoke the scholars at the same time.

But when the scholars heard Chunyu Chong's words, they looked at Geng Jingwen with a strange and slightly resentful look.

Moreover, before Geng Jingwen could even say anything, he was held back by several soldiers, and one of the soldiers even punched him in the mouth.

The intense pain made him dizzy, all his teeth were broken, his lips were swollen, and he could only make a whimpering sound.

The Minister of Rites and several of his confidants also wanted to speak, but Chunyu Chong did not give them a chance. He waved to the soldiers and immediately ordered them to go over and capture the Minister of Rites and their confidants, knocking out their teeth and arresting them.

Chun Yu Chong did not look at the arrested people. He looked at the scholars and the common people who were watching the fun and said, "Everyone, your majesty has just ascended the throne. He is grateful for the hard work of our generation in studying. Now there are people who are just sitting there doing nothing and occupying high positions, making the people miserable. That is why he is opening the imperial examination to select talents."

"But the Minister of Rites and the Vice Minister of Rites are not grateful to the Emperor and have colluded with some people who want to usurp the throne, hoping to block your career paths. I have come here several times to issue the Imperial Order."

"But this person has repeatedly obstructed you and wanted to cut off your path to success. Now I have no choice but to ask the soldiers of Dayan for help. Everyone, do you think it is wrong for me to capture this traitor?"

Having said that, Chunyu Chong looked at the scholar in front of him.

As soon as he said this, someone immediately responded, "Master Chunyu did a good job. These people who are just sitting there doing nothing but eating for free only care about their own interests. It would be fine if they just ruined our careers, but they even want to harm the people. It's good to arrest such people!"

As one person agreed, many people followed suit.

There was no way. Chunyu Chong's few words aroused the anger of others towards Geng Jingwen and others.

Others say that destroying someone's financial resources is like killing their parents, but destroying someone's career is even more infuriating than killing their parents.

Although it was the soldiers of Dayan who arrested people, they were the ones who benefited. Everyone could see clearly that Chunyu Chong came to read the imperial edict to open the imperial examination.

But Geng Jingwen said that they were forging the imperial edict, which was obviously an attempt to disobey the order and prevent the special examination from being held. Isn't this just harming them?

For a person like this, who the hell would be stupid enough to care about whether the one who attacked was a soldier from Dayan?

Although the Daxi Dynasty seems to be controlled by the King of Qin of Dayan now, as long as they can get rich, they don't care who becomes the emperor.

Furthermore, there are some people who really want to consider the interests of the people. The series of policies issued by Li Changle and Jiang Fan are obviously beneficial to the people. They will not be willing to be loyal to the previous corrupt dynasty without knowing right from wrong.

Of course, there are some people with conservative ideas who feel unwilling to see Dayan take over Daxi, but such people are in the minority after all.

As the scholars were infuriated by Chunyu Chong's words, some of them even started throwing stones at Geng Jingwen and his companions. Geng Jingwen and his companions, who had already been beaten to a pulp by the soldiers, were beaten to a bloody pulp by the scholars.

They regretted it deeply. If they had known that Chunyu Chong was so fierce and cunning, and could make them suffer with just a few words, they should not have resisted him. But it was no use to regret it now.

Chunyu Chong quickly posted the imperial edict outside the bulletin board of the Ministry of Rites, and the remaining officials of the Ministry of Rites dared not resist.

Chunyu Chong quickly directed the remaining officials to organize the implementation of the new Enke. Because the various places were far apart, the new Enke was scheduled for half a month later.

Of course, it would be best if they could catch up, but it didn't matter if they couldn't, because the court was in urgent need of talents, and the new imperial examination would be held again in half a year. So, they still had a chance.

Not only those who live far away have opportunities, but others also have opportunities.

Of course, the literati supported such a move, and everyone couldn't help but cheer.

Soon, the news that the Ministry of Rites was holding an imperial examination spread throughout the entire Shangjing City, and the people now completely believed that what the Royal Press said was true!

Except for Chunyu Chong, the rest of the people have also started to act.

On the side of the Secretariat, Huang Luzhen directly captured the Secretary-General of the Secretariat, along with several of the Secretary-General's confidants.

They intercepted memorials from various places and only sent some unimportant memorials. The Minister of the Central Secretariat was the leader, and Huang Luzhen captured the Minister of the Central Secretariat to make an example of him.

The remaining officials of the Secretariat were trembling with fear and hurriedly searched for all the intercepted memorials.
