The common people of the Ming Dynasty were enjoying the prosperity and prosperity of the peaceful age. However, in the government and the public, as Emperor Hongzhi announced that he would drastically reduce the number of scientific examination quotas in Southern Zhili, the entire court was suddenly filled with officials from Jiangnan and their relatives. All the officials were completely outraged.
"Your Majesty, Jiangnan has been home to many talented people since ancient times, with outstanding people and talented people emerging in large numbers. How can the whole Jiangnan scholar be implicated because of the Nanjing incident?"
"The imperial examinations in Jiangnan are originally extremely difficult, just like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Now that the number of scientific examination places has been drastically reduced, the scholars in Jiangnan will never be able to stand out!"
The new day's court meeting had just begun, and Xiao Jing had just finished speaking. Immediately, officials from Jiangnan stood up and told in tears how difficult it was to take the imperial examination in Jiangnan. They also emphasized that Jiangnan had many talented people since ancient times and could not reduce the number of talents in South Zhili. Scientific examination quota.
"Yes, Your Majesty, there have been many talented people in Jiangnan since ancient times. They have always been the mainstay of our Ming Dynasty. Now that the number of scientific examination places has been drastically reduced, our Ming Dynasty may miss out on a lot of pillars of governance in the future."
"Your Majesty, the Nanjing incident was blamed on a few leading gentry. Now they have been brought to justice and the matter is over. How can the entire Jiangnan gentry be implicated because of the Nanjing incident?"
"The people from Jiangnan are many loyal and talented people. It is not a blessing for our dynasty to miss the talents from Jiangnan!"
"Your Majesty, Nanjing is the old capital of our dynasty, and Fengyang in the south of Zhili is the ancestral land of our dynasty. It should be treated favorably. This drastic reduction in the number of scientific examination places will inevitably lead to the decline of talents in the ancestral land, which will lead to turmoil in the country, the country, and the people's livelihood. ah."
One after another, officials from Jiangnan came forward and strongly opposed the reduction of the number of scientific examination places in Southern Zhili.
On this matter, they must not give in even half a step. It has been a month since Emperor Hongzhi announced this matter, but officials from Jiangnan in the court would stand up every time they met.
They mobilized all the power and connections they could mobilize to strongly oppose this matter. Not only did they shout about it every day in the court meeting, but officials from all over the Ming Dynasty, who were from Jiangnan and officials who were related to them, wrote to Hongzhi one after another. Emperor Hongzhi's Qianqing Palace was almost flooded with memorials like snowflakes.
They also had an endless attitude. As long as Emperor Hongzhi did not revoke this decree, they would continue to make trouble like this every day. They would not care about other things in the court meetings every day, but just talked about this matter. The memorials kept going up, so that Emperor Hongzhi saw it. They are so annoyed.
Speaking of officials from Jiangnan, there are really many. Not only in the court and the public, but also among officials from various places in the Ming Dynasty, there are also a large number of officials from Jiangnan. They have also been writing to Emperor Hongzhi to make it clear. He had an attitude that this was no longer a game.
¡°Here we go again~¡±
Liu Jin was a little speechless. Now he really stirred up a hornet's nest.
In the past, when we suppressed those officials from Jiangnan, although they responded and continued to impeach Liu Jin, they did not have an endless attitude.
Now we have to drastically reduce the number of reliable places in Jiangnan, which has completely angered these Jiangnan officials. Of course, it also shows how hard this move will hit them.
The number of places for scientific examinations has been significantly reduced, which means that it will be increasingly difficult for people in South Zhili to take the examinations in the future.
??In itself, Jiangnan is already a hell-level difficulty, and now it is even more difficult. It will be extremely difficult for Jiangnan to obtain fame in the future, and I don¡¯t know how many scholars will have to endure it.
The foundation of the gentry class in Jiangnan is based on the imperial examination system. Without this, the gentry class in Jiangnan will be like a frying pan, and will gradually weaken as time goes by.
From now on, from the imperial court to local governments, the number of officials from Jiangnan will decrease significantly, and their voice will become lower and lower. If you want to control the government and the public as before, it will be even more impossible to rely on political means to obtain monopoly benefits. How can you Just give up and let it go.

"This is going to never end~"
Zhang Mao, Li Dongyang, Liu Jian and others also closed their eyes helplessly.
"Your Majesty, I impeached Liu Jin, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Wang Shouren, the chief envoy of Nanzhili. Liu Jin violated the law for personal gain and protected Wang Shouren in the same year. Such a major thing happened in Nanjing. Wang Shouren could not escape the blame, but Liu Jin did nothing."?'s.
"If you wait until you have discussed important matters before talking about this matter, Emperor Hongzhi will think that you still know some of the importance and can consider the affairs of the country.
??????????????????????????????????????? But the commotion was made every day as soon as the meeting was held, and when there was no result from the meeting, memorials were written to continue the commotion. This attitude and appearance of not caring about national affairs made Emperor Hongzhi extremely dissatisfied.
"Retreat from the court~"
He rolled up his sleeves and looked at the time. It had been half an hour and they were not done yet. Emperor Hongzhi was too lazy to waste time here and just stood up. When Xiao Jing saw it, he also shouted at the top of his lungs.
The ministers retreated one after another to their respective yamen to go to work. As for several important ministers, they were left behind and went to the Shangshu room to continue holding small meetings.
"Liu Jin, you have stirred up a hornet's nest this time~"
On the way, Zhang Mao smiled and said to Liu Jin with some gloating.
"How do they know my good intentions? Hundreds of years later, the world will definitely say good things about me, but will not remember them clowns and ignore them."
Liu Jin said very indifferently.
"You are awesome~"
