In the university hall, many students are circulating the new edition of the newspaper.

"Brother Ziwen, why is this article so stinky?"

When everyone looked at the content of the article written by Wei Ziwen, someone suddenly sighed.

The articles in this newspaper do not have rhetorical devices, nor do they pay attention to the connotation of format. From an artistic point of view, these articles are really not very good.

"You don't understand. These stories are written for the common people. If they are written too deeply, the common people can understand and understand them?"

Liu Tao explained.

"If the work of the Ministry of Rites is to write such vulgar stories, then I can also go to the Ministry of Rites."

A student named Qin Fen seemed a little indignant. Since the work of the Ministry of Rites does not require such good writing, why should only Wei Zi be given a civil office position, everyone can do it.

"This, I heard my uncle say that being an official does not require a good literary talent. The official documents he usually writes are mainly easy to understand."

Another official's son, Min Zhen, said.

"Since we don't need such good articles, why does the imperial examination have to test our literary talent?"

Qin Fen raised this question, which many people have thought about by accident. But after I figured it out, I didn't take it seriously anymore. Anyway, everyone went to study like this.

But now, Wu Changqing's contempt for the study of classics, coupled with the fact that this issue has been raised again, many students have begun to seriously study this issue.

Article, is it really necessary to write that good?

"After all, the Four Books and the Five Classics are treasures that have been passed down for thousands of years. It is naturally necessary to study these books to understand the truth and cultivate one's self-cultivation."

There are also more pedantic people who choose to support the Four Books and Five Classics.

"However, the knowledge of these four books and five classics alone is far from enough to govern a country. Is it really reasonable that the imperial examinations only test these contents?"

Liu Tao retorted.

"What you said, the gentleman reads the book of sages, this is a thing since ancient times, how can you casually question it."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the others quickly persuaded them to calm down.

This question was put on hold for the time being, and everyone saw another article about the fact that Emperor Longwu sent an envoy to Suzhou and officially named Wu Changqing the Duke of Wu and granted him the governorship of Zhili.

This made many students look embarrassed, because they all knew that Wu Changqing had accepted the canonization of Lu Jianguo. Now Emperor Longwu has another canonization that is exactly the same, what does this mean?

In the article, Wei Ziwen pointed out that Wu Changqing was in a dilemma when facing this canonization.

Wu Changqing neither wanted to deny the legitimacy of Emperor Longwu, nor could he accept the canonization of Emperor Longwu, so he seemed to be doing both, ignoring the existence of King Lu.

The article is guided by the writing style, which makes the reader feel that the Ming court is really absurd.

"What is the imperial court doing, is there such a nonsense? The canonization can be carried out twice, can't the two supervisors discuss and establish a primary and secondary? They do this, what should Wu Guogong do, and what should the front-line soldiers do? choose?"

Liu Tao said angrily.

In front of the enemy, the soldiers and soldiers are fighting to the death for their Zhu family's world on the front line, while their Zhu family are fighting in their nests, and there is not even a unified voice.

As a courtier, he was naturally dissatisfied with this situation.

"Hey, there are traitors in power."

Someone sighed.

"I don't think it's all about blaming the traitor. If the two prisoners are not for their own selfish interests, how can they not give in to each other. Everyone wants to be the Supreme Being of Ninety-five Five, but the talents of the two can only be fought against each other. Since Beijing City After the break, did the Zhu family still have the Ming master to stand up and fight a victory?"

Qin Fen also had a lot of resentment, and felt that there was really no Mingjun in the Zhu family.

Chongzhen needn't say more, he lost Beijing. And Hongguang was just a faint-hearted monarch who liked to listen to operas. King Lu, Zhu Yihai, did not have much success. Emperor Longwu Zhu Yujian also fled all the way to Fuzhou to survive.

"Brother Qin, speak carefully."

Someone reminded Qin Fen that, after all, in their capacity, it would be inappropriate to directly criticize the emperor, and they were not officials.

"Hmph, what am I afraid of? We readers are attached to the world, and there is nothing wrong with speaking up with justice."

Qin Fen snorted.

"I'm afraid Wu Guogong is in trouble this time. This booklet is not happy when Lu Jianguo is accepted, and he is not happy if it does not accept Tang Jianguo."

Liu Tao said with emotion.

"Brother Liu, Brother Qin, look at this article again, it says that Shaoxing's tax revenue was all withheld by Fang Guoan, a traitor, and that the rebels in Shaoxing had no food, so they came to Suzhou, and Wu Guogong paid them.

Wu Guogong led his troops on the front line of the anti-Qing Dynasty, and he didn't get the appropriation and pay from the imperial court. "

There was another article in the newspaper, exposing the infighting in King Lu's regime, and portraying Fang Guoan as a traitor.

Seeing this kind of inside story, these young and vigorous scholars were all pissed off.

When the imperial court has been reduced to such a level, is it still necessary to exist?

"If Wu Guogong didn't exist, this morning would have died long ago."

Qin Fen snorted coldly.

"Indeed, in the entire Ming Dynasty, besides Wu Guogong, who else fought hard and who won?"

Liu Tao agreed, and many students nodded in agreement when they heard the words.

"Forget it, let's study with our hearts and gain an official body first, then

There is a chance to change this court. Now, we are humble, talking too much is useless. "

After some fierce criticism, many students have resentment against the Ming court.

Of course, it can't be blamed on Wu Changqing for deliberately guiding public opinion, the main reason is that the current Ming Dynasty is really outrageous.

If Zhu Yihai and Zhu Yujian could unify their opinions, establish priority, and then fight against the Qing with one heart, Wu Changqing would not be able to discredit them.

But now, Wu Changqing does not need to fabricate the facts, as long as some inside information is published, the Ming court will immediately lose popular support.

Qin Fen laughed inwardly after seeing the reactions of the other students.

Everything he did just now was instructed by Wei Ziwen. Wei Ziwen promised that as long as he does this well, Wu Changqing will give priority to him in the next election.

In order to become an official, Qin Fen didn't care what impact such remarks would have on the prestige of the Ming court.

If it was in a prosperous world, he probably wouldn't have dared to have such a bold idea.

But in troubled times, the greed of human nature has been released. Those countless surrendering generals took the lead, so that the rest of the people no longer had the psychological pressure to rebel against Ming.

In this kind of thing, as long as those who take the lead get the benefits, there will be many people who follow suit.

At present, people like Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty lived very well, and they were also appreciated by the Qing Dynasty.
