Chapter 797: Expansion
At this time, it was noon, and the sun was shining, which made the air a little hotter, but the ministers kneeling on the ground did not feel it at all, but felt a burst of coldness.
"Father-in-law, go ring the bell and summon the other ministers urgently, I have something to order."
"Yes." The whole father-in-law answered, and then walked in the direction of the Taihe Palace.
The ministers below couldn't help but feel nervous when they heard Yun Chen's order, so they didn't know what trick Yun Chen was going to play again, but their intuition told them that it was not a good thing.
Yun Chen didn't seem to be looking at them, waved his sleeves slightly, and walked into the hall.
The bell rang, and the other ministers entered the palace one after another, and in less than half an hour, all the civil and military officials came. Yun Chen let the minister who was kneeling outside come in.
He knelt for a long time, and when the minister got up, his legs were shaking, Yun Chen frowned slightly, waved his big hand, and ordered the Praetorian Guards to help them in one by one.
After waiting for them to come in, the entire Jinluan Hall was very quiet, and the whole atmosphere was a little depressing.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I urgently summoned you to the palace at this time, I have a very important thing to order."
Yun Chen looked around, and when he saw that those ministers were hanging their heads, he couldn't help but show a satisfied expression.
"Before, because of the exception of letting merchants in Jiangnan participate in the imperial examination, neither the hundred officials nor the students of the world agreed with this matter. But ......"
Just when the ministers suppressed the uneasiness in their hearts and were lucky, Yun Chen suddenly took a turn, and his next words also mobilized the hearts of hundreds of civil and military officials.
In fact, the matter of letting merchants participate in the imperial examination has little to do with the military attaché, but they all have a family behind them, whether it is for the family or catering to some people, and they are all mixed with their own interests, so Yun Chen will not sympathize with them, and will not let them go.
"However, I still think that there is no problem with the change that merchants can participate in the imperial examination."
Sure enough, after Yun Chen said this, most of the ministers' faces became even worse, but they didn't refute the lessons they had learned these days.
"Not only that, but I also feel that I can take the opportunity to expand so that merchants from the entire Cloud Country can participate in the imperial examination."
After Yun Chen said this, the entire Jinluan Hall was silent.
Even Xu Lizhao and the others looked at Yun Chen with a stunned expression.
Of all the people present, the most calm was Deng Junxi, but he had known it for a long time, so the shock had passed, and when he first knew, he reacted the same.
"What? Everyone's reaction one by one agrees with my approach? Yun Chen raised his eyebrows, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but it made everyone present feel no warmth.
"Your Majesty, please think twice." Finally, an old minister trembled and knelt on the ground, and carved his forehead directly on the cuttlefish slate.
Everyone seemed to have just come back to their senses, and the civil and military officials knelt on the ground, "Please think twice, Your Majesty." ”
"Think twice? I don't just think twice, I've been thinking about this plan for a long time. But looking at the reaction of the ministers, it seems that they don't agree? Yun Chen leaned on the back of the dragon chair, his expression indescribably lazy.
"But it's too late, everyone."
"......" The ministers looked up at Yun Chen one by one, with a bad premonition.
"Everyone thinks well, at this time, my will has been passed down, if nothing else, now the people of the entire capital know about it, not only that, I'm afraid that in less than a day, this news will spread throughout the entire Cloud Kingdom."
