The imperial examination is a hurdle that scholars in this world can never get around, and it is a place that countless people want to enter.

There is a saying that one can reach the sky in one step.

If you want to achieve success in one step, you can only take the imperial examination. This is an opportunity to change your destiny, this is an opportunity to change your class. Once you pass the imperial examination, your life will become different.

Zhu Youxiao had read Fan Jinzhongju's article before traveling through time, and he knew that the seemingly absurd irony was actually very real and bloody.

For an ordinary person from an ordinary background, it is likely that it takes several generations of hard work to have a scholar in the family. For such a scholar to pass the exam, it is likely to take several generations of hard work, which is the key to changing the family class.

A fact.

Maybe it's disdainful, maybe it's sarcastic, but what's hidden in it is a heart of hard work and struggle, a heart of unwillingness. Zhu Youxiao knew this because it was analyzed by everyone in later generations.

So Zhu Youxiao directly reached out to the imperial examination. Only in this way can people understand more clearly that if you want to be an official and participate in the imperial examination, you can only take the academy examination. This is very important.

"In addition, I will make some changes for next year's imperial examination." Zhu Youxiao said slowly again.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was really panicked this time.

If they said it before, they would still think it was acceptable, but now this sentence really stirs up a hornet's nest!

Your Majesty wants to reform the imperial examination, so he immediately dug up the roots!

But no one stood up to persuade. Everyone knew that persuasion at this time was meaningless.

Even those who were slow to react before and haven't come to their senses now have come to their senses. They were deceived by Sun Shenxing.

It seemed that Sun Shenxing was upright and upright, but in fact he pushed the matter to a very terrible state, that is, he made His Majesty have a head-on confrontation with everyone.

Under such circumstances, we have to force His Majesty to surrender. But is His Majesty in front of us so easy to surrender?

At this point, things have become very difficult.

"Okay, let's leave the court." Zhu Youxiao said expressionlessly, then turned around and walked towards Qianqing Palace.

That's all for today. Although Zhu Youxiao felt that he would end sooner or later, he never thought that he would end in this way at this time.

Although Zhu Youxiao knew that his reputation was over and he didn't care much about his reputation, he originally needed to throw it out at a more critical time.

But Zhu Youxiao couldn't wait for that day. Sun Shenxing's hand directly dragged him in, making it impossible to get out.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel angry, but at the same time he was also thankful that he had already made a good plan, otherwise he would have been really in trouble.

If he had been dragged in by Sun Shenxing before this time, he would have had no choice but to use Wei Zhongxian to kill.

Turning to look at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao said, "Let Yu Maoheng write the question book."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong quickly agreed.

Regarding Yu Maoheng, Zhu Youxiao had already prepared it. But it was too important, so he never let Yu Maoheng move, and he never wanted him to move. But this time Yu Maoheng couldn't move, he had to let him

He takes action.

So Zhu Youxiao chose to let Yu Maoheng write the question book to push the matter to another level.

Chen Hong knew a lot about this matter, so he turned around and ran out without any doubts.

Chen Hong wanted to see if he could stop Yu Maoheng before he left the palace and tell him what happened.

Looking at Chen Hong's back, Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

If it happened now, I could arrange it calmly. If it had happened when I just traveled through time, I would have just waved my sword.

Zhu Youxiao is waiting now, waiting for the commotion outside and waiting for everyone to come out to cause trouble, but he feels that not many people will come forward.

The dispute between Sun Shenxing and Gao Panlong has already made a big fuss, and the remaining people will choose not to speak out.

Zhu Youxiao went back and waited, but others could not.

The ministers didn't know what it was like in their hearts, it was very complicated.

However, there are also people who are very happy, namely Cui Chengxiu and others. They feel that they have already achieved 10% and can continue their efforts.

Especially Sun Shenxing and Gao Panlong, these two people completely angered His Majesty and pushed the matter to an irreversible point, so we must take them down and never let them have another chance to turn around.

However, these matters have not affected the cabinet. For the cabinet, the debate is not their concern.

No matter how much fuss and arguments there are outside, the final resolution of the matter lies with His Majesty. So what they care about is how to solve the current matter and how to face the current situation, rather than how to avoid disputes.

This time the dispute is inevitable. Everyone knows that His Majesty is pushing it, but some things are out of control.

Returning to the duty room of the cabinet, Han Xu called everyone together and said, "Let's discuss it. What should we do about this matter? We must have a charter. Let's talk about it."

In fact, Han Xu called everyone together to discuss this matter, hoping that the cabinet would have a unified opinion.

Under the current circumstances, if the cabinet is further divided into several factions, things will become very troublesome and will turn into party strife again, similar to what happened last time.

Han Xu didn't want this situation to happen, so he hoped to reach a consensus within the cabinet.

Several people looked at Xu Guangqi, wanting to hear him speak first.

Because just now in the court, everyone saw Xu Guangqi and wanted to stand up, but he was pushed back by His Majesty. Now everyone also wants to hear Xu Guangqi's opinion, after all, he is the most involved among everyone.

Xu Guangqi did not hesitate, but said directly: "Let me talk about Sun Shenxing and Gao Panlong first. They are forcing the palace. They are inviting people by name. This is not the way to serve as a minister. I think these two people should be severely punished.

."

After saying this, Xu Guangqi sat there and stopped talking. In fact, this was to express his attitude, that is, they needed to reach an agreement on the handling of Sun Shenxing and Gao Panlong.

That means we must be punished severely, and no one is allowed to plead for mercy, and no one is allowed to have other opinions. If you have other attitudes or opinions, then there is no need for us to talk further.

After these words came out, several people's faces were not very good-looking. Especially Han Xu and Sun Chengzong, both of whom were relatively close to the Donglin Party. Although the previous troubles were unpleasant, they were not at the point where they had to risk their lives.

.

But the current situation is that Xu Guangqi wants to kill people.

None of them spoke, and the room fell silent for a moment.

But at this time Huang Kezuan spoke. He leaned forward and said: "I don't think our ministers should get involved in this matter. Your Majesty has made his own decision. We can just wait for the imperial decree. As for the people outside

Whatever you say, we can just listen. As for whether to write a letter to plead for mercy, that depends on the individual."

Huang Kezuan's words made it clear that he was talking to Xini, and at the same time he was also telling Xu Guangqi that we are all in the same boat now, because it would not be appropriate for these two people to conflict.

Everyone has his own position. If he wants to plead for mercy, he can do it himself. Because no one can affect the final outcome of this matter. How the matter is ultimately handled depends on His Majesty.

Several other people didn't say anything either.

After a long time, Sun Chengzong said: "I think it is good to do this. If someone wants to write a letter to plead for mercy, then he can go, there is no need to force it; if someone wants to write a letter to impeach, then he can write a letter to impeach, and there is no need to force it."

Several people's eyes fell on Xu Guangqi, wanting to see what he had to say. After all, he was the one who brought up this matter.

Xu Guangqi's face looked a little unpleasant, but he also knew that he could not force these people to bow their heads, so he said: "That's it!"

Hearing that Xu Guangqi relented, several people breathed a sigh of relief. Now they don't want to provoke Xu Guangqi.

Because Xu Guangqi was like an angry fighting cock now. He felt suffocated because he didn't show up in court. He wanted to find someone to give him a few blows, and then express his position.

Your Majesty has given Xu Guangqi too much, and he needs to repay Your Majesty. No one present wants to be criticized harshly by him.

Next is the selection of the Minister of Rites.

Han Xu asked: "Which of you has a suitable candidate? You can propose it now."

The Minister of Rites, this is a very high position. Among the six ministers, the status of the Minister of Rites is also very high. He even has the title of the first among the six ministers. Some people call the Ministry of Personnel the first, but in fact, the status of the Minister of Rites is also not the same.

Not low.

Of course, such an official position was something one would have to fight for. Of course, that was in the past.

Now Sun Shenxing, the original Minister of Rites, is still squatting in the imperial edict. The most critical point is that the affairs of the Ministry of Rites are not over yet, and more things will happen in the future.

So no one knows what the future situation of the Ministry of Rites will be like. If someone goes up now, something might really happen.

So for a while, several people were silent. Several others were silent, but Xu Guangqi had to speak.

Xu Guangqi said directly: "I recommend Shen Tingyun."

Then his eyes slowly swept across several other people, but he stopped speaking.

After hearing this name, several other people frowned.

Of course Shen Tingyun and the others knew that this man was a good friend of Xu Guangqi and a member of their faction. He was even more radical than Chen Kedao in terms of education. Why should this man become the Minister of Rites?

The eyes of several people were uncertain, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

After being silent for a long time, Han Xu nodded and said, "Okay, count me as one."

The reason why Han Xu said this was because they could not only sign up one person, they needed to sign up several people, and then let His Majesty check the boxes.
