The imperial examination is a hurdle that scholars in this world can never bypass, and it is a place that countless people want to enter.

There is a saying called one step to the sky.

If you want to reach the sky in one step, you can only participate in the imperial examination. This is an opportunity to change one's own destiny, this is an opportunity to change one's own class. Once you pass the imperial examination, your life will be different.

Zhu Youxiao read Fan Jinzhong's article before crossing over, and knew that the seemingly absurd irony was actually very real and bloody.

For a person from an ordinary background, it is likely that it will take several generations of hard work to produce a student in the family. It is likely that the success of such a scholar is the effort of several generations, which is a fact that changes the class of the family.

Maybe disdain, maybe sarcasm, but what is hidden in it is the heart of struggle and struggle, and the heart of unwillingness. These Zhu Youxiao all knew it, because they were dissected by everyone in later generations.

So Zhu Youxiao directly stretched out his hand to the imperial examination. Only in this way can people understand more clearly, that is, if you want to be an official and want to participate in the imperial examination, you can only go to the academy, which is very important.

"In addition, I will make some changes in next year's imperial examination." Zhu Youxiao said slowly again.

As soon as this sentence came out, the people present really panicked this time.

If the previous words, they still think they can accept it, but now this sentence is really a hornet's nest!

Your Majesty is going to change the imperial examination, and you have dug up the roots directly!

But no one stood up to persuade them, and everyone knew that persuasion at this time was meaningless.

Even those who reacted slowly before and hadn't come back to their senses have reacted now, and they have been pitted by Sun Shenxing.

It seems that Sun Shen is righteous and awe-inspiring, but in fact, he has pushed things to a very terrible realm, that is, to make His Majesty and everyone hard.

In such a situation, unless you force Your Majesty to submit, but Your Majesty in front of him, is he so easy to succumb?

Things have gotten really tricky at this point.

"Alright, that's it, Sanchao." Zhu Youxiao said expressionlessly, and then turned around and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.

That's all for today, although Zhu Youxiao felt that he would end up sooner or later, but he didn't expect that he would end up at this time in such a way.

Although Zhu Youxiao knew that his reputation was over, and he didn't care much about his reputation, he originally needed to throw it out at a more critical time.

But Zhu Youxiao couldn't wait for that day, Sun Shenxing's hand directly dragged him in, and it was impossible to get out.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be annoyed, but at the same time, he was also glad that he had already made the layout, otherwise it would be really troublesome.

If he was dragged in by Sun Shenxing before this time, then he could only use Wei Zhongxian to kill.

Turning his head to look at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth and ordered: "Let Yu Maoheng put on the inscription." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed.

Regarding Yu Maoheng, Zhu Youxiao had already prepared. It's just that it's too important, so I haven't let Yu Mao move, and I haven't wanted him to move. But this time, Yu Maoheng can't move, and he must be allowed to act.

So Zhu Youxiao chose to let Yu Maoheng go to the question book and push the matter to another level.

Chen Hong still knew a lot about this matter, so he didn't have any doubts, turned around and ran out.

Chen Hong wanted to see if he could stop Yu Maoheng before he left the palace, and then tell him about it.

Looking at Chen Hong's back, Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Things are happening now, and I can arrange them calmly, but if it happened when I just crossed over, I could really only swing a knife.

Zhu Youxiao is waiting now, waiting for the commotion outside, waiting for everyone to come out and do something, but he doesn't think too many people will come forward.

Sun Shenxing and Gao Panlong's quarrel has already made a noise, and the rest of the people will choose not to speak.

Zhu Youxiao went back and waited, but the others couldn't.

The ministers don't know what it's like in their hearts, it's very complicated.

However, there are also people who are very happy, that is, Cui Chengxiu and others, they feel that they have already made a mistake and can make persistent efforts.

Especially Sun Shenxing and Gao Panlong, these two people completely angered His Majesty and pushed things to a point where they couldn't turn around, so they must be taken down and never let them have another chance to turn over.

But none of this affected the Cabinet, and for the Cabinet, the debate was not something they had to worry about.

No matter how much trouble and arguments are made outside, the final solution to the matter is that they are in His Majesty. So they are concerned with how to solve the current situation, how to face the current situation, not how to avoid disputes.

This time the dispute is inevitable, everyone knows that His Majesty is pushing it, but some things are out of control.

Back in the duty room of the cabinet, Han Yi called everyone together and said, "Let's discuss, what should we do about this matter?" We've got to have a charter, let's talk about it. ”

In fact, Han Yi called everyone together to discuss this matter in the hope that the cabinet could have a unified opinion.

In the current situation, if the cabinet splits into several factions, then things will become very troublesome, and it will once again turn into a partisan dispute, similar to the situation last time.

Han Yi did not want this to happen, so he hoped that a consensus could be reached within the cabinet.

Several people looked at Xu Guangqi, wanting to hear him speak first.

Because just now in the court, everyone saw Xu Guangqi and wanted to stand up, but he was pushed back by His Majesty. Now everyone also wants to hear Xu Guangqi's opinion, after all, he is the most involved among everyone.

Xu Guangqi didn't hesitate, but said directly: "I'll talk about Sun Shenxing and Gao Panlong first. They are forcing the palace, they are inviting the name directly, this is not the way to be a minister, I think these two people should be severely punished. ”

After saying this, Xu Guangqi sat there and stopped talking. In fact, this is to show his attitude, that is, in the handling of Sun Shenxing and Gao Panlong, an agreement needs to be reached.

That is, it must be severely punished, no one is allowed to intercede, and no one is allowed to have other opinions. If you have a different attitude, a different opinion, then there is no need for us to go any further.

After these words came out, the faces of several people were not very good-looking. Especially Han Yi and Sun Chengzong, both of them are relatively close to the Donglin Party, although the front is very unpleasant, but it has not reached the point of being in the place of death.

But the current situation is that Xu Guangqi is going to kill people.

No one spoke, and for a moment there was silence in the room.

But at this time, Huang Kezhang spoke, he leaned forward, and said, "I don't think this time it's up to our courtiers to interfere. Your Majesty has made his own decision, and we will wait for the decree. As for what the people outside say, we just have to listen. As for whether to write a book to intercede, it depends on the individual. ”

Huang Kezhang's words clearly showed that he was making peace with the mud, and at the same time, he was also telling Xu Guangqi that everyone is now in the same boat, because it is not appropriate for these two people to conflict.

Everyone has their own position, and if he wants to intercede, he goes on his own. Because no one can affect the final outcome of this matter, it is up to Your Majesty how to deal with the matter in the end.

The others were silent.

After a long time, Sun Chengzong spoke: "I think it's good to do this. If someone wants to go to the book to intercede, then he can go, there is no need to force it; If someone wants to be impeached, then he will be impeached, and there is no need to force it. ”

Several people's eyes fell on Xu Guangqi, wanting to see what he said, after all, he brought up this matter.

Xu Guangqi's face was a little unpleasant, but he also knew that he couldn't force these people to bow their heads, so he said, "That's it!" ”

Hearing that Xu Guangqi was relieved, several people were all relieved, and now they didn't really want to provoke Xu Guangqi.

Because Xu Guangqi is now like an angry fighting, he didn't show up in the court, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he wanted to find someone to slap him a few times, and then make his position clear.

His Majesty has given Xu Guangqi too much, he needs to repay His Majesty, and no one present wants to be scolded by him.

The next thing is about the selection of the Ministry of Rites.

Han Yi asked, "Which of you has the right candidate?" It's all about coming up now. ”

The Ministry of Rites is a very high position. Among the six Shangshu, the status of the Ministry of Rites is also very high, and there is even the title of the first of the six Shangshu, and some people call the Ministry of Officials the first, but in fact, the status of the Ministry of Rites is not low.

Such an official position is naturally something that must be fought for when the head is broken, of course, that was before.

Now Sun Shenxing, the original secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is still squatting in the Imperial Prison, and the most critical point is that the affairs of the Ministry of Rites are not over, and there will be more things to happen in the future.

So no one knows what the future of the Ministry of Rites will be. Now, if you let people go up, something will really happen.

So for a while, a few people didn't speak, and the others didn't speak, but Xu Guangqi couldn't help but speak.

Xu Guangqi said directly: "I recommend Shen Tingyun." ”

Then his gaze slowly swept over the others, but he didn't speak again.

After hearing the name, several other people frowned.

Shen Tingyun Of course they know that this person is Xu Guangqi's friend, and he is also a person from their faction, who is even more radical than Chen Kedao in terms of education, so let this person become the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?

The eyes of several people were uncertain, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

After being silent for a long time, Han Yi nodded and said, "Yes, count it as one." ”

The reason why Han Yi said this is because they can't just report one person to go up, they need to report a few people to go up, and then let His Majesty check it.

Several people glanced at each other, but no one stood up to object, so Shen Tingyun became the first person on the list.
