Yuan Kai didn't wait for Xin Ru to say anything, and said: "But the fourth elder brother is estimated that Kangxi will not compromise easily, there must be the fourth elder brother behind this matter, the fourth elder brother has experienced so many things, and the means will definitely not be less, this time the imperial examination is estimated to be Kangxi's victory." ”

Xin Ru: "Brother, your evaluation of the fourth elder brother is quite high. ”

Yuan Kai: "......" When did he have a high opinion of the fourth elder brother, the fourth elder brother has lived for so many years, and has experienced things that ordinary people can't experience, if he couldn't even get the things he promoted, the previous life in Kowloon would have been over a long time ago.

Yuan Kai: "It's an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, and if you can't get this thing right, you'll be alive." ”

Xin Ru: "......" is really right.

……

Nalan Mingzhu was in his own study, and said to his henchmen: "You go and bring a message to the lady in the palace, tell her not to preface the imperial examination on the emperor recently, and by the way, let her restrain the eldest brother, let him follow the emperor more recently, and don't annoy the emperor in order to go against the prince." ”

"Yes, the minion will do it."

Regardless of the size of the officials, men, women and children in the capital, there are many discussions.

Seeing that things are getting bigger and bigger, although there are not many people in the court who oppose it openly, but secretly, there are many scholars who are constantly moving, although the matter is not big, but Kangxi who is making trouble is also very upset.

On this day, Kangxi called a few ministers and asked, "How do you say this matter will be calmed down?" ”

The ministers below, you look at me, I look at you, but they didn't speak.

Kangxi looked at his heart and was even more annoyed, and said a little angrily: "What do you do to eat, you don't say anything when you encounter a problem, don't you usually talk a lot?" Why is there no talk now. ”

At this time, a Han official spoke: "Weichen thinks that we can first appease the people who participated in the imperial examination this year, and let them stop before talking about other ......."

Mingzhu looked at the person who spoke, and said in his heart: I'm afraid this person is not sick! At this time, there is no difference between saying such things and not saying them.

Kangxi also felt that this person might be sick, and he called them here just to ask them how to appease the lifters.

Kangxi's face was a little ugly and he said to the person who spoke: "Oh, then how can you appease it?" ”

"Wechen...... Wechen hasn't figured it out yet. ”

Kangxi: "You are justified if you didn't come up with it!" Don't I know that I want to appease the judges, it is because there are people like you that I want to change the imperial examination, you see that this is the official elected by the imperial examination......"

At this time, everyone knelt down and said in unison: "The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry." ”

Kangxi looked at the kneeling crowd and was even more angry, but there were many important officials below, so he couldn't get angry casually, so he could only say to the person who started to speak: "Someone! Pull this man down, and remove him from his office. ”

At this time, an official who is usually not very conspicuous, Shu Mulu Yuxiu said: "Your Majesty, the slave has a way to try, but it may be a little troublesome." ”

Kangxi was a little surprised, after all, judging from his experience, he was too angry, and no one should think of opening up.

Kangxi became interested at this time and said, "Oh~ Then you can talk about it." ”

Shu Mulu Yuxiu: "The slave thinks like this, the imperial examination system is to select outstanding officials, this year because the imperial examination has changed some topics, then you can let some people who can do the topics you change, and some people who can only do the topics of the Four Books and Five Classics, govern a place for a year, and then send some people to secretly supervise and see if those people govern better after a year." ”

Kangxi listened carefully and felt that there was some truth, and then he looked at the other silent people and said, "What do you think?" ”

Everyone else had already secretly passed the anger, and this incident made Kangxi turn upside down, so everyone was still silent.

Kangxi: "Mingzhu, you come." ”

Mingzhu knew from Kangxi's performance that Kangxi probably wanted to try, so he echoed: "The slave thinks it's feasible." ”

Kangxi: "Suo Etu, tell me." ”

Because Suo Etu got Yinren's letter, he didn't go against Mingzhu at this time, and said: "The slave also thinks it's feasible." ”

Kangxi: "Since this is the case, then leave this matter to Shu Mulu Yuxiu, do you have any objections?" ”

Everyone: "There is no objection to the minions." ”

Shu Mulu Yuxiu: "The slave leads the order." ”

So the next day in the capital, all the exam-takers knew Kangxi's will: After the palace examination, the exam-takers will be divided into two waves to different places to be officials, one wave is good at doing the test papers after the question is changed, and the other is good at doing the original question type, and even the number of people who can participate in the palace exam this year will be nearly double that of previous years.

This will is indeed a good way to appease the restless movers, after all, this will is fully expressed, and the points lost because of the change of the title of the imperial court will not have much impact on them.
