In the hall, the young emperor's voice sounded indifferently, "Drag him down!"

"yes."

Liu Zhong turned around and waved, and soon the palace maid who brought the medicine was dragged down.

Perhaps because the intimidation left by the original body was still there, all the maids and servants left in the palace were trembling and staring at the ground with their heads lowered.

Chen Jue looked around. Although these people were all afraid of him, he knew that most of them were spies of others.

With just one word from the other master, he can immediately betray him as the emperor and kill him!

well!

It was really not easy for the original emperor to do what he did! Chen Jue sighed again.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."

At this time, Liu Zhong came back and saw that His Majesty was still in a daze, so he immediately reminded him in a low voice.

As the chamberlain who wants to clear His Majesty's name, I must always remind His Majesty to go to court in the morning.

"Um."

Chen Jue had a smile in his eyes, said "Hmm" softly, and walked out with a puff of sleeves.

As soon as he walked out, a breeze blew in his face, which gave him a chill in his agitated heart.

Suddenly, Chen Jue stopped in the corridor and looked up into the distance.

At this moment, the sky is only slightly bright, the sun has not risen yet, and there is only a little bit of morning light on the farthest horizon.

Liu Zhong, who was following behind, saw His Majesty stopped and thought that something was wrong with His Majesty, so he walked forward quickly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty?"

The sound of "Your Majesty" brought Chen Jue back to reality. He raised his feet and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and stopped.

"Liu Zhong, you don't have to follow me today."

"Huh?" Liu Zhong looked confused, wondering if His Majesty was tired of him and planned to change him?

Liu Zhong touched his face, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

Your Majesty likes good-looking people. Maybe it’s because he is getting older and His Majesty doesn’t like him anymore, so His Majesty wants to replace him.

Although I am reluctant to part with it, if it is His Majesty's decision, I will still obey it.

Liu Zhong felt very sad and reluctant to give up.

"Who does Your Majesty like to take your place? Don't worry, I will teach him well before I leave."

Chen Jue: "?????"

What is he saying?

When did he want someone to take his place?

Chen Jue was a little speechless. He didn't expect that he would make him think more with just one sentence, "What are you thinking about? I want you to stay and tidy up the palace!"

He emphasized the last four words.

Chen Jue looked at Liu Zhong with a slightly suspicious look. He didn't know what was going on. The others were neither in their 70s or 80s, so why did they think so much!

"Before I come back, I want you to find out everyone in the palace who is someone else's spies!"

Before leaving, Chen Jue gave instructions.

In the past, when the original body was here, the original body didn't care whether there was someone else's spy in the palace. Even if he knew that the person was the spy, he didn't deal with it.

But now that Chen Jue is here, the palace will be his home in the days to come. How can his own home be watched by other people's eyes?

How unsafe it is to have someone watching at home!

Just like what we did just now, from time to time there will be an assassination, a poison, and you will have to check whether the food is poisonous. This will not allow people to live!

Anyway, in his case, all the spies in the palace must be eliminated, and everyone in the palace must be under his control.

Liu Zhong has always followed His Majesty's orders. He will do whatever His Majesty asks him to do.

As soon as Chen Jue left, Liu Zhong immediately played his role and began to thoroughly investigate all the maids and chamberlains in the palace.

This move immediately made everyone in the palace fearful, fearing that they might accidentally offend Eunuch Liu and be treated as an informant.

In the court hall, Chen Jue issued the imperial edict to transform the secret guard organization from secret to bright and establish it as Zhi Jinwu.

"I will be commanded by Wei Wei in charge of Jinwu. He will help me understand your contribution to the imperial court. If anyone has done something wrong and deceived others and I find out, I won't mind giving him a ride."

The ministers below looked at each other in confusion. They knew about the emperor's special secret guard organization.

It's just that the imperial order is more about protecting the emperor's safety, and they also raise private soldiers, so they are not afraid at all.

Now I didn’t expect that His Majesty would turn the secret guard organization of Emperor Ling from darkness to light, and also create Zhijinwu. Is Your Majesty crazy or not?

Suddenly, all the ministers looked at Wei Wei, the newly minted commander of Zhijinwu, feeling quite disdainful in their hearts.

What good can Zhijinwu do? They are not afraid to investigate!

"There are two more things to announce today."

Chen Jue slowly took a sip of water and put it on the imperial case, "From today on, the new laws will be distributed to all counties in the Chen Kingdom. Tao Shangshu, the new laws will be sorted out as soon as possible."

"There is also the matter of the imperial examination. I have decided to hold the imperial examination for the first time in autumn and September this year to select talents. Right Minister, I have troubled you to take care of this matter."

"Imperial examination, law?" As soon as the announcement was made, the expressions of the ministers below changed.

Previously, His Majesty proposed the implementation of legal reforms and changes to the selection system, but they blocked it and only changed the laws.

However, the imperial examination system has been put on hold. Unexpectedly, His Majesty has brought it up again and will hold the imperial examination for the first time.

Isn’t that a disguised attempt to let the common people enter the court and sit on an equal footing with them?

How can this happen!

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible! Who in the past dynasties has not been the ninth-grade Zhongzhongzheng, which is the foundation for selecting talents and appointing talents, and the ancestral rules cannot be abolished!"

"Your Majesty, the ancestral rules cannot be abolished. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"The ancestral rules cannot be abolished. Your Majesty, please think twice for the sake of Chen Guo!"

The ministers knelt on the ground and kept saying "ancestral rules cannot be broken" one after another, urging him not to hold the imperial examination to select talents.

It's like this again. When it comes to change, it's like "ancestral rules cannot be broken."

Chen Jue's eyes were slightly cold and he looked at the group of people below expressionlessly.

Half a year after he ascended the throne, he proposed the imperial examination system and the law together.

Then he left it to the right minister to handle it, but in the end there was no splash at all. On the contrary, his reputation as a "foolish king" among the people became more and more popular.

This made Chen Jue have to suspect that half of his reputation as a "foolish king" was caused intentionally by the original person, and the other half must be due to the group of ministers below who kept saying they were thinking about Chen Guo.

Abolition of the ninth-grade Zhongzheng selection system and the opening of the imperial examination involves the interests of these aristocratic families. Even though they know that His Majesty has a bad temper and is not easy to mess with, they still want to stop it.

The whole hall was filled with their dissuasive voices.

Chen Jue didn't say anything to stop him and let them yell loudly.

When their voices became quieter, he asked the palace maid to bring each of them a cup of tea, "Don't stop, you continue."

Chen Jue fell back and lay comfortably on the dragon chair, looking at the group of people below with half-squinted eyes.

Seeing that they stopped talking after drinking tea, he frowned and looked unhappy, "Why don't you continue? Keep talking!"

"Right Chancellor, if they don't ask you to tell them, as the head of officials, you can tell them on their behalf!"

"..."

The right minister who was named came out and stood at the head of the ministers. He said: "Ancestor——"
