Yun Chi went out of the city to send Huayan on a trip, and when he returned to the East Palace, his robe was soaked, and his whole body was soaked by the rain.

Xiao Zhongzi was shocked when he saw Yun Chi coming back, and when he saw his appearance, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Highness? You ......"

Yun Chi glanced at him, his face was calm, and he returned to his usual coolness, "Prepare water for bathing." ”

"Yes." Xiao Zhongzi answered and hurriedly went.

After Yun Chi finished bathing, Mama Fang brought a bowl of ginger soup, "Your Highness, drink it while it's hot!" ”

Yun Chi picked up the ginger soup and drank it in one go.

Mama Fang carefully looked at Yun Chi's face, and saw that he didn't look bad, and she was slightly relieved in her heart.

Only then did Xiao Zhongzi dare to ask tentatively, "Your Highness, can you catch up with the crown princess when you go out?" ”

Yun Chi let out a "hmm", "Caught up." ”

Xiao Zhongzi looked at Yun Chi, "You...... Okay? ”

Yun Chi said "um" again, and instructed Xiao Zhongzi, "Immediately order, within half an hour, the staff of the East Palace will come to see me." ”

Xiao Zhongzi was stunned for a moment, "Your Highness, it's getting late, and it's raining again, you still have to discuss things without stopping?" ”

Yun Chi rubbed his eyebrows, "I can't sleep, it's better to discuss things." ”

Xiao Zhongzi secretly thought that the crown princess was gone, and His Royal Highness was afraid that he would start to sleep at night and sleep again, and he, the person who was waiting next to His Highness, would also start to live a hard life. Seeing that Yun Chi had made up his mind, he didn't dare to delay, so he went immediately.

Half an hour later, the staff of the East Palace gathered in the East Palace, waiting for Yun Chi to show off.

Yun Chi only said one sentence, "In this year's autumn exam, this palace wants to let students from all over the world flock to the capital." ”

All the staff of the East Palace were shocked, originally, this year was an eventful autumn, there was civil strife in the southwest in the spring and summer, and now there is a disaster in the north, and the flood control in the Sichuan River Valley is on the agenda, plus the wedding of His Royal Highness the Prince, many things add up, and they can't spare their hands to pay attention to the autumn test, so the autumn test is bound to be postponed to next year.

But now Yun Chi means that there will be an autumn exam this year, and students from all over the world will take the exam, that is to say, this autumn exam is extremely important, and it should be regarded as a major matter this year.

Everyone looked at Yun Chi, and one of the old men arched his hand and spoke, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it is now the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I have not prepared for the autumn test earlier, and now I am starting at this time, is it already a little late?" The time is not very tight, after all, there are still a few months left, you are about to get married, and there are many things to do. ”

Yun Chi said lightly, "Within three months, the autumn test will be completed." The words fell, and he said in a deep voice, "This palace needs capable people, this palace doesn't want to have a disaster anywhere in the world, looking at the government and the opposition, no one is available." ”

He didn't say a sentence left behind, that sentence was that if there was someone available to the government and the opposition, there would be no need for his crown princess to go to the north secretly.

Except for Su Ziqi, he really couldn't find a candidate to go to the north, and he couldn't find one to pull the officials in the court around, and there was no one who was suitable to go to the northland to help Su Ziqi.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made up his mind?" Another old man spoke.

"Well, Hongu has made up his mind." Yun Chi said in a deep voice, "This palace hopes that after this autumn test, the imperial court can be replaced with a wave of fresh blood." ”

Because of this sentence, everyone was secretly shocked, secretly thinking that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to clean the court.

One person stepped forward and bowed his hand, "Your Highness, you have not yet ascended the throne, will it be too early to clean the court at this time, and it is not too mature?" Besides, there are many things this year, although the court situation is quite peaceful, but it is not very stable, if you do it at this time, the subordinates are afraid that the court situation will be turbulent and affect your wedding. ”

"This palace is not afraid, you just have to start the autumn test, this palace said, it is a capable person all over the world, as long as there is a great talent, this palace hopes to see his name in the autumn test, this palace does not want to see the autumn test three years ago to deal with, there is no cloth cloth and a poor family to recommend and select, only a large number of incompetent children."

Everyone was shocked again, and one blurted out, "Your Highness wants to reuse a poor student?" The family ......"

Yun Chi's face was pale, his eyes were warm and cold, and he corrected, "What this palace says is that there are capable people, whether it is a cold family or a family, this palace must first see a great talent." ”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, secretly thinking that this was still a reuse of the cold door.

Yun Chi looked at everyone, as a staff member of the East Palace, his own people in the East Palace under his rule, they didn't understand him, he said that the furnace refining this world was only given to Hua Yan alone, at that time, she was shocked enough, if he told them what he had always thought at this time, not only to reuse the cold door, even if he was standing here, even if he was the prince, even if they had always respected him, I was afraid that they would be scared one by one.

This world has been controlled by the family for too long, for thousands of years, intertwined, pulling out the roots and bringing out the mud.

Whether it is the former dynasty and the later Liang that were destroyed, or the Southern Chu Jiangshan of the current dynasty, a dynasty was destroyed and a bunch of families were lost, but at the same time, a bunch of families rose again because of the new country.

In this world, it can be said that half of it is controlled by the royal family, and half is controlled by the family. The families have woven a fine net, and countless children of the family are all over the government and the opposition, and they have always restrained the decisions that affect the imperial power.

Since Yun Chi took charge of the country, Yun Chi has acted decisively, with strong wrists, and high scheming, and the families are gradually falling behind.

Now, if Yun Chi attaches importance to poor students with the autumn test, then it is conceivable that the families will be dissatisfied with what kind of uproar and monstrous waves will be set off in this autumn test.

Everyone didn't dare to imagine it, so when Yunchi spoke, they all thought about it, and for a while, the study was silent.

Yun Chi gave them time to fully ponder, stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, looked at the night, and thought about where Hua Yan had gone now, the road was slippery after dark, and it rained for another day, but the road was difficult to walk? If it weren't for the secret guards of the great grandfather who were subdued by her and followed her to the north, even if there were secret guards of the Hua family to protect him, he would not be at ease, and he would definitely send a large number of secret guards from the East Palace to follow.

Now that the people of the East Palace have been saved, they naturally have to find something to do.

For example, the autumn exam.

Since she wanted to see Nan Chu soon under his rule, the Sihai River was prosperous and Chang'an, so it didn't hurt that his previous plan would be changed. She didn't ask much for him, and he naturally wanted to satisfy her.

Then, let's kick off with the autumn exam.

Everyone looked at Yun Chi while thinking about it, his tall back was as tall as Yun Mountain, these people had been by Yun Chi's side for a long time, so they all knew that Yun Chi was different from the emperor and the previous emperors, he had ambitions, and he would never allow the rivers and mountains of Southern Chu to maintain the stability of today's surface under his governance.

But as for what he was going to do, they really didn't know, and they didn't dare to speculate.

After a long time, Yun Chi asked lightly, "Have you thought about it?" ”

Everyone bowed their heads in unison, "Everything is under the orders of His Highness." ”

Yun Chi bowed his head and said indifferently, "Then let's do it!" Within ten days, the palace will ask for a list of all the capable people in the world, within half a month, the palace will have an autumn test, within a month, the palace will let these people have to participate in the autumn test, within two months, the palace will hold the test smoothly, and within three months, the palace will see them in the palace test. Three months later, the palace wanted to let them enter the court. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was uplifted.

Yun Chi turned around, looked at everyone, and said with a warm eyebrow, "In addition, the palace wants to let the court vacate a large number of seats within three months, and during the autumn examination, anyone who disturbs the autumn examination for personal gain will be cleared out of the court." ”

Everyone gasped in unison.

Yun Chi said and raised his eyebrows, "Can you do it?" ”

Everyone bowed their heads, "Obey Your Highness's orders." ”

Yun Chi was satisfied and waved his hand, "Since we all understand, starting tomorrow, we will do what the palace says, and we will all retreat!" ”

Everyone should be and retire together.

The group went out of the East Palace, many people were already sweating their backs, the autumn rain was cold, and the autumn wind blew, and they suddenly felt cold through their hearts. I can't help but think that this day is really cold, and the autumn wind is rising.

After Yun Chi and the group left, he still stood in front of the window with his hands down, looking out of the window, the night was cold, the autumn rain was cold, and his heart was also empty and cold since Hua Yan left the East Palace.

But he found himself one thing to try in the autumn, starting tomorrow, getting busy, about much better than always thinking that her life should be better when he was idle. Even though, the autumn test is predictably difficult and tricky.

Yun Chi convened the East Palace staff overnight, although the movement was small, but the courtiers still knew about it, although they didn't know what was going on, but thinking that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't convened all the East Palace staff for a long time, and now I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter.

However, everyone can only guess, but they can't find out, whether it is the East Palace or the people in the East Palace, the palace walls and people's mouths are like copper walls and iron walls, and they can't be pried open.

On this night, naturally, no one thought it was about the autumn exam.

Therefore, when Yun Chi put the autumn test on the agenda on the morning of the second day, the courtiers were a little stunned.

After all, there are a lot of things this year, and they all think that the autumn test will be postponed to next year, and now Yun Chi suddenly mentioned the autumn test, and he couldn't help but think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would get married in a few months.

However, there are old ministers who are sensitive to the political situation, and they still smell something unusual from it.
