Daming: Is There Imperial Examination Fraud At The Beginning? I Cry As A Candidate During The Test

Chapter 512 Ye Xuan’S Answer

Chapter 512 Ye Xuan’s answer

Ye Xuan's words shocked Lu Ben and the three ministers.

Especially Lu Ben. Although he was a relative, he was also a famous scholar in the world. Otherwise, how could Zhu Yuanzhang rest assured and leave his grandson's education to him.

At this moment, Lu Ben had understood Ye Xuan's thinking and even guessed some of what Ye Xuan might say.

But at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask him, and he didn't want to participate, so he could only pray secretly in his heart that the official would react and not be led by Ye Xuan.

He was thinking endlessly, but Ye Xuan kept talking.

"What is etiquette? It is etiquette, education, etiquette and customs, which originally respected folk customs and evolved them. In the past, the land of Jingchu was barbaric, but after the founding of the Chu people, although they were called barbarians for a hundred years, they eventually became the world's One of the most powerful countries, and even its culture, has affected the countries in the Central Plains! Could it be that the people at that time did not follow the etiquette and laws?"

The official was speechless by Ye Xuan's words.

He naturally knew that this was a bit of an exchange of ideas, but he couldn't help it. After all, he racked his brains and couldn't find any flaws or omissions in Ye Xuan's words.

He was anxious, even to the point where he wanted to remonstrate to death.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two people and sneered secretly in his heart. He dared to call Ye Xuan because he concluded that Ye Xuan had the ability to explain clearly by himself.

The two ministers were called here, on the one hand, they wanted to know their thoughts, and on the other hand, they also wanted them to speak on their behalf and be witnesses.

But now, the two of them are like wood carvings and stone sculptures, obviously going to watch a show. Unfortunately, this time they thought wrong. After all, if Ye Xuan's jokes were easy to see, they would not have such a long cooperation.

"You...I...Your Majesty——"

The official was also anxious. He couldn't speak clearly and even stuttered.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he did not rush to urge the other party. When he replied to Ye Xuan, he did not give him a chance to organize his thoughts.

He looked at the official and sneered: "Confucius admired the Zhou rites, but in the end he did not fully recommend the Zhou rites. Why does it come to your mouth that I don't respect the ethics?"

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly found it interesting, but the officials were livid.

Over the past thousand years, even if times have changed, Confucius' reputation remains.

If you refute Ye Xuan, you are undoubtedly refuting Confucius. However, if you admit defeat, I am afraid that if you don't say it again if there is no chance in the future, Ye Xuan will continue to be arrogant.

He said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, Ye Xuan has made evil words to confuse the public. Please try to punish him!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Ye Xuan, and then asked softly.

"Since you are arguing, why can you say it but he can't? We still know what it means to confuse the public with lies!"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang actually say this, the two ministers already understood what he was thinking.

But at this moment, the two of them are still unwilling to participate. After all, the topic today is somewhat sensitive, and the courtyard people don't want to get into trouble instead of taking advantage.

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang refused to support him. The officials looked livid and could only continue to argue.

"Your Majesty, Ye Xuan is sophistry!"

Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent, and the expression on his face was even a little impatient.

There was a smile on Ye Xuan's face, but more of it was disdain.

He searched the official and continued to ask: "The royal reputation you are talking about, is it a vain loft in the sky, or is it a reputation that is praised by others?"

The official was startled, but he also knew that he had to answer at this moment. If he wanted to make a comeback, there seemed to be only one chance.

"Of course it's a reputation that spreads!"

Ye Xuan saw that the other party was playing into his heart, so his expression became more playful.

He smiled and nodded, repeating the other person's words in his mouth before continuing.

"It turns out it's reputation, so it seems like you shouldn't use the royal family's reputation to attack me!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Ben secretly thought that something was wrong, and the official was confused.

After waiting for a moment, Ye Xuan continued.

"My grandson presented gifts to His Majesty, imitated the ancient sages, and maintained contact with and shared the stage with actors. You think this is a bad reputation? Is it a shame? I, the Ming Dynasty, govern the world with benevolence and filial piety. Is it possible that today my grandson is not fulfilling his filial piety?"

The official was a little anxious and immediately retorted.

"Of course not! This is self-degradation!"

Ye Xuan sneered and said: "Have you ever heard of Laolai Yuqin? If you haven't read a book, you might as well go back and read more! Furthermore, all people in the world, no matter what their occupation, are His Majesty's subjects and children. , can it be said that parents will consider the dignity of their children and form a biased attitude? "

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, with a bit more recognition in his expression.

Although he did not agree with everything Ye Xuan said, he still felt that it was reasonable.

And the official was a little panicked at this moment.

He has realized that every word Ye Xuan said is a trap, and no matter how he answers, it seems to be a mistake.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. Just when he didn't know how to deal with it, Zhu Yuanzhang had already made a final decision.

"."Okay, now that we've said it, let's leave it at that! On this big day, we won't pursue your false accusations, Ye Xuan, don't mind it either!"

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to think of Lu Ben and others, and asked with a smile: "Do you have any objections to our arrangement?"

As soon as this was said, several people quickly agreed.

They all knew that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care what they thought at this moment, and the reason why he asked was just to give face.

Ye Xuan didn't intend to go into details, so he agreed and left hand in hand towards the bed.

But just when Ye Xuan was about to leave, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly spoke and stopped him.

"What are those glowing things? Why have we never seen them before?"

When Ye Xuan heard this, he felt a little funny. Those were experimental products of electric lamps, but because they were not suitable for promotion, (Qian Qianzhao) never reported or displayed them.

But I didn't expect that the tools used to create atmosphere at this moment would be very useful.

So, he suppressed his laughter, made some nonsense, and after coaxing Zhu Yuanzhang, he returned to his seat.

The officials who were dissuaded were now in a waning mood and no longer had the mood to continue watching the program.

In the distance of the banquet, those foreign envoys did not know how many people Zhu Yuanzhang met and what happened.

At this moment, some people are already speculating that summoning Ye Xuan may be related to business.

Some people are even thinking about whether they can get some equipment for this event directly from Ye Xuan.

After all, many of these things have subverted their imagination, and they have never even thought about tigers.

They have determined that any of the things here may bring huge wealth, but it seems difficult to convince Daming to sell the things to them. .
