The emperor didn't know why Liu Zhu suddenly mentioned the crown prince.

The imperial examination is obviously a national policy that is conducive to the Ming Dynasty, so what is the difference between who proposed it?

"When Your Majesty was studying under the old minister, the old minister once asked Your Majesty a question, if you can become an emperor, how can you be a good emperor."

"Your Majesty's original answer to the old minister was that you should be as good as a stream."

"Your Majesty the Emperor will take a look again today, the hundreds of officials in the court, the civil ministers and military generals, and even those of us who are old and immortal are kneeling here, please retract the idea of winning the imperial examination."

"Has Your Majesty really been as good as you are?" Before the emperor could speak, Du Shangshu slowly got up and looked at the emperor with a disappointed face.

The emperor opened his mouth, he wanted to tell Du Shangshu in front of him, his husband, what he thought now.

But the emperor knew in his heart that no matter what he said today, they were here to stop him and prevent him from taking the imperial examination.

No matter how fanciful he, the emperor, said, it would be useless.

"Your Majesty, I, as the emperor's uncle, shouldn't have come, but the imperial examination completely violated the law of the ancestors, and the imperial uncle had no choice, I couldn't watch Your Majesty go astray."

"Don't mention the imperial examination again, the relevant personnel who proposed this imperial examination will also be dealt with together, and the redundant officials and redundant generals will be abolished, and Uncle Huang and I will also support Your Majesty." The old king of Shu spoke again, so that the emperor couldn't find a chance to open his mouth at all.

And the king of Shu was even more ruthless, and directly asked the emperor to dispose of the cadres who were selected for the imperial examination.

"Your Majesty, the imperial examination is the bane of cutting off my Daming Society, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

"If Your Majesty does not agree to cancel the imperial examination, we will kneel and die here."

"Please cancel the imperial examination."

"Abolish the imperial examination."

After the three leaders finished speaking, the officials kneeling behind them immediately echoed.

Many people directly knocked their heads on the ground, and even threatened the emperor by kneeling here.

When the emperor heard this, he only felt his head drowsy, and he shook involuntarily.

Liu Xi behind him hurriedly supported the emperor, his face full of melancholy.

Liu Xi knew that in the current situation, the emperor was completely driven to a dead end.

Either turn against all the officials in front of you, or promise them to cancel the imperial examination.

can turn his face with more than eighty percent of officials, including his emperor's elders, veterans who have made great achievements for the Ming Empire.

How did the emperor do it?

Even if he really turns his face, how will the people of the world view the emperor?

The second prince and the third prince breathed a long sigh of relief in their hearts.

Things have come to this point, and the emperor has no other way but to choose to cancel the imperial examination.

It's also the best they want.

As long as there is no imperial examination, the court officials in the future will still be under their control.

And now, they just have to wait for the emperor to bow his head and accept his fate.

"Your Majesty, or ......" Liu Xi saw that the emperor's face was pale, and he was worried that the emperor would be angry, so he thought about persuading the emperor to forget it.

The emperor waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over the two hundred or so people in front of him.

Everyone here is fighting for their own interests.

No one is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor felt extremely lost in his heart.

That's it, that's it!

The emperor let out a long sigh in his heart, and the words of promising to cancel the imperial examination had already reached his lips, but he saw a huge group of people suddenly walking on the street in front of him.

As far as the eye can see, the twenty-meter-wide street is crowded with people walking by.

And at a glance, there is no end to it.

Walking at the front were dozens of old people who had stumbled to the point of being helped over.

In each of them had a dove rod in his hand.

Dove staff, according to the Ming law, all the elderly who have reached the age of eighty will be given a dove staff.

The elderly can enter and exit the government with a dove cane, walk on the galloping road, and buy and sell in the market tax-free.

Those who assault an old man with a dove cane are guilty of great treason.

If you beat an old man with a cane, you will be sentenced to beheading and abandoning the city.

In the entire capital of the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of people, and dozens of old people were given dove canes by the emperor.

But they all seem to be here now.

The old man at the front, known to the emperor, is the oldest old man in the Ming Empire, and he is one hundred and thirteen years old this year.

The emperor from afar saw that Chen Changfeng was holding the old man and walking towards this side.

Behind the old people are the people of the Ming capital who are dressed in different colors and styles of clothes.

There are women carrying vegetable baskets, porters carrying flat burdens, private school gentlemen holding books, and shopkeepers carrying abacus.

But they have only one purpose at the moment, to go in front of the emperor.

"Someone, stop them quickly!" The third prince shouted, his face grim.

"Stop!" The emperor scolded.

The third prince's heart sank.

He knew that Chen Changfeng asked Fengxue Bookstore to distribute pamphlets printed with the news of the imperial examination for free, just to let the people know about it.

But neither the second prince nor the third prince expected that so many people would appear here.

The emperor scolded, and all the Imperial Forest troops stopped and looked at the vast crowd walking in front of them in a daze.

The Emperor looked ahead, his clenched fists suddenly relaxed.

"The son visits his father."

"The grass people meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

Chen Changfeng bowed to the emperor, and the mighty crowd also knelt on the ground and shouted at the emperor.

The Emperor was at the front of the crowd and saw many familiar faces.

Yao Xiaoren, Yao Xiaoren's daughter Yao Tangtang.

Crown Princess Tang Xueer.

Liu Miaomiao, the daughter of Uncle Liu's Wen family.

And Tang Mingren.

The emperor thought that today's events would finally end with the success of the hundred officials forcing the palace, because he had never seen Chen Changfeng's figure.

But at this moment, seeing the mighty people of the capital in front of him, the emperor felt a trace of warmth in his heart.

Chen Changfeng, this kid, did not let his father, be persecuted by everyone.

The little bunny has been supporting himself behind the scenes.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" The emperor took two steps and made one step, stepped over the hundreds of officials kneeling in front of him, and came to the old men.

The emperor glanced at Chen Changfeng and showed an appreciative look.

"Your Majesty, I won't come up first, please let Caomin finish speaking." The oldest man waved his hand.

"Come, give a seat." The Emperor shouted behind him again.

Dozens of stools were moved.

The emperor stood in front of the old man, waiting for him to speak.

"Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, I heard that my Ming Empire is preparing to carry out the imperial examination, but is there such a thing?" The old man spoke, his voice a little hoarse.

"Yes, the prince and the servants of the ministry think that my Ming official election system cannot adapt to the current situation, so he and I proposed the imperial examination." The Emperor nodded.

"Then dare to ask Your Majesty, whether the content of the booklet is the same as the free distribution of Fengxue Bookstore." The old man asked again.

"Same." The emperor nodded, he had also seen the free booklet of the Wind and Snow Bookstore, which was exactly the same as the one in his hand.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please help me, an old immortal, to go to them." The old man looked back at Chen Changfeng.

The emperor was stunned, his eyes fell on Chen Changfeng, and he didn't know what they were going to do.

"Okay." Chen Changfeng nodded, helped the old man to the front, and someone behind him came up with a stool.
