423 Retreat

As Jiang Boyong guessed, the clear decree of "Hundred Schools Ceremony" made scholars all over the world go crazy.

Spontaneously stood up to rectify Jiang Yuanxi's name, and only grasped the heavenly vision of the reunification of the nine dragons to sing praises for Jiang Yuanxi, and praised Jiang Yuanxi's every move since the incident. It is rare in the world to praise His Majesty like the Three Emperors and Five Emperors."

Jiang Boyong felt that he still underestimated Shihlin's face. He could slander him to the fullest before, but when he turned around, he seemed to have forgotten what he had done, and he would blush when he praised others.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Boyong is still very satisfied. With the efforts of this group of scholars, the people were taken aback for a while. Except for the people in the North who did not believe those rumors from the beginning to the end, the people in other places Relatively speaking, the common people trust the local literati more.

For those ordinary people who can't read big characters, scholars are very powerful, not to mention famous literati and inkmen, listening to those people vigorously boasting that the empress is the emperor personally chosen by the gods, and can bring prosperity to the people , the existence of Haiyan Heqing.So these common people gradually began to be convinced, and the wind began to fall to the other side for a while.

"Tell me what to do next?"

In a room, someone asked in a deep voice.

"Have you received anything sent by King Zhenbei?" Another person asked without answering.

"So, you also received it?" the third person said.

"I got it too."

"I have it too."

"Me too."

All the people sitting in the room said in unison, and now the room fell silent, and a suffocating atmosphere slowly spread.

"So, the Empress already knows what we are doing secretly?" Someone asked with difficulty.

There was another silence, and the soles of the people's feet involuntarily felt a chill. It was early spring, but they felt as if they were in a cold weather.

How many eyes and ears does the empress have?They actually found out all of them. Before today, some of them didn't know that other families were involved.

"I want to come to the Shilu genealogy sent by King Zhenbei, which was ordered by the empress."

No one could refute this, someone took out a book of Shilu from his arms, and opened one of the pages, "Here, a few pages were torn off."

What was torn off was the history of his family's ancestors, that is, the records on their family's living records.

The man looked around for a while, and said after a while: "It seems that you are the same as me."

Back to the question from before the beginning.

"What shall we do next?"

After a while, someone stood up resolutely, "My Zhang family quits."

Provoking everyone to look at him, the middle-aged man put away the book of records, "I don't believe you can't understand the meaning behind the Empress. There are more than 3000 people in my Zhang family. Please forgive me for not accompanying me any longer." Turn around and leave after speaking.

A second person stood up, "My Cheng family also withdrew. As soon as "Hundreds of Families" came out, the older generation in our family wanted to participate in it. They protected the empress tightly and said that even if they really participated For the imperial examination, I believe that the children of the family will not fail the exam, and the rumors are useless."

After saying the same, leave.The two left quickly, and the others were even more concerned.

"Let's go, it's better to urge the children in the family to study now, and strive to win the imperial examination in a month's time."

The aristocratic families in the room bowed their heads one after another. One was that Jiang Yuanxi's many eyes and ears made them feel chilly, and the other was that Jiang Yuanxi's silent threat made them fearful. In fact, everyone was unwilling to take the lead, but they didn't dare to stand up for themselves, and wanted to wait for others to continue to take the lead Charge into the trap and test the queen's reaction.

A typical dead fellow is not a poor fellow, but unfortunately no one is that foolish in his early years, and if one person shrinks back, the others will also start to retreat.

"Just this little courage?" Jiang Yuanxi felt very boring. If those people could continue, maybe she would look at them high and praise them for their courage, but she retreated after giving away a book of Shilu. It made her feel quite uncomfortable.

Jiang Boyong shrugged, he didn't expect that the family would be full of thunder and rain, but fortunately he was still waiting for it.

As the saying goes, it goes down again and again, and the family shrinks back this time, and it may be even more difficult to achieve great things in the future.

The aristocratic family was not enough, so Jiang Yuanxi put this matter behind him and talked about other things, "The Grand Ceremony of the Hundred Schools is a huge project. Since the writings of the Hundred Schools were destroyed hundreds of years ago, the descendants of each family have gradually disappeared in a hundred years. , it is very difficult to find their works again, and it is very difficult to reproduce the grand occasion of hundreds of schools of thought hundreds of years ago. If the decree continues, as long as someone can contribute the works of a hundred schools of thought, they can be included in the "Grand Ceremony" Put a name on it."

Jiang Yuanxi adopted Gu Yidan's opinion on the matter of being named, and used the huge fame and fortune of being named in "Grand Ceremony" to lure those people to donate the books of hundreds of schools in their collection.

"If the person who presented the book has real talent and learning, after Duan Gong passes the school examination, he can be allowed to participate in the compilation." Jiang Yuanxi added.

Jiang Boyong nodded in agreement, and Jiang Yuanxi asked worriedly: "The "Shengdian" cannot be compiled in a day or two, it may take a long time, can Duan Gong's body hold it?"

She heard that Duan Gong was too tired after finishing the enthronement ceremony, and almost caught a cold, so she asked this question.

Jiang Boyong shook his head and laughed, "Your Majesty doesn't know something. Ever since the decree of the grand ceremony was announced to the world, Duan Gong seems to have become a young and strong young man. He speaks very loudly, walks with wind, and has a rosy face. Playing a set of Wu Qin Xi is not a problem. I visited him the day before yesterday, and he laughed at me saying that my body as a young man is not as good as that of an old man. Duan Gong also said that no matter what, he must compile the grand ceremony in his lifetime .”

Jiang Yuanxi also laughed, "So, Duan Gong is in good health, so I don't have to worry about it. Let Duan Gong not worry, only with a good health can he have an overview of the whole situation."

Jiang Boyong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have already ordered the doctor to come to Duan Gong every three days to check the pulse. He also put two long-term attendants by his side, and will always pay attention to his body, work, rest and diet."

Jiang Yuanxi was relieved, she believed that with Duan Gong present, there would be no problem with the grand ceremony, so she asked another question: "How many rice seeds have we saved for Mr. Zhu?"

"It's a total of fifty thousand stones." Talking about business, Jiang Boyong's expression became serious.

Fifty thousand stones may seem like a lot, but as long as you remember that they have accumulated them one after another over the years, you don't think it's too much.

Jiang Yuanxi ordered: "Spring plowing is coming soon, let the Huben Army, Blood Wolf Army, Modao Army, and Black Snake Army send grain seeds to the four roads in the southeast, northwest, and must be distributed to the people in all counties and counties. The grain seeds must be replaced with Mr. Zhu's rice seeds."
