The Princess’s Inner Thoughts Were Overheard by Her Emperor Father

Chapter 62 Students Jointly Object? Objection Is Invalid!

There are hundreds of tables in the main hall of Zhengyang Gate, where important civil servants who usually attend the morning court answer questions.

"Today's test will take up half of your rest day." Emperor Xiao Yunzhou raised his hand.

The officials' faces were dark.

They had to take a rest day every five days to farm.

Now they have to take up another rest day every month to take an exam?

Oh my god.

Is the emperor still a human being?

Xiao Yunzhou acted as if he didn't see it, "Do scholars in the world have a rest day? Do the people who work in the fields, weave cloth and sew clothes have a rest day?"

"I and the officials are supported by the people, so we should be more diligent."

The ministers of Jing State have nearly a hundred days of vacation in total.

In addition to the designated rest days, many ministers have family leave.

The ministers took a carriage to visit their families and could not take the military road. Sometimes it took two or three months, or even half a year, to go back and forth.

These holidays are unusually many.

Xiao Yunzhou is now occupying everyone's rest day, which is really not a bad thing.

"Okay, answer quickly."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, the papers will be collected at noon, and those who have not finished answering will be counted as you don't know."

"..."

The officials were silent, and immediately all wrote furiously.

Of course, some ministers looked stiff, especially when they heard Xiao Yunzhou say that the civil officials with the lowest ranking would be dismissed today, they immediately looked at each other and protested.

"Your Majesty, we are here to be officials, not to study."

"Has the court become an academy? Eliminating the lowest-ranking officials depends only on the articles of the Four Books and Five Classics? It's ridiculous."

"That's right, there is no such thing in the history books!"

"Being an official is not about studying hard, Your Majesty!"

"How can you test our imperial examination articles every month!"

Several ministers protested loudly, and Xiao Yunzhou frowned at the sight.

【Tsk tsk, they haven't even finished reading the test questions, and they want to stop the test? 】

【Let me see, wow, as expected, those who jump the highest are those whose intelligence is not higher than the average of the eunuchs. 】

【Oh my god, they are the same as the semi-illiterate Minister Jiang~】Xiao Chuchu couldn't help complaining and closed her eyes cutely.

She couldn't bear to watch!

Xiao Yunzhou listened to his daughter's words, angry and wanted to laugh.

But just as he was about to speak, the guards outside hurried in to report.

"Your Majesty, hundreds of scholars gathered outside the palace!"

"They shouted outside the palace, saying that the emperor dismissed Lord Jiang Yixu because he could not tolerate advice and was narrow-minded!"

Xiao Yunzhou's face changed, "How dare you!"

The guards were about to kneel down to apologize.

The loud shouts of the scholars outside were heard in the Zhengyang Gate Hall.

"Sir Jiang participated in the imperial examination seventeen years ago and has been an official for seventeen years, working hard for the people every year! Now he is lax in the Four Books and Five Classics and forgets the contents of the books at an old age. It is normal."

"The emperor took advantage of the topic to test the officials, but the talent of reading is far from the ability of being an official, which is very unfair!"

"We jointly signed a blood letter, asking the emperor to release Sir Jiang Yixu and let him return to his post!"

"And immediately cancel the Four Books and Five Classics assessment for all officials!"

This loud shouting, composed of at least hundreds of adult students, was so powerful that it seemed like waves one after another, pressing down on the hall in an instant!

The emperor Xiao Yunzhou was holding Chuchu's arms, and they were instantly stiff.

Rebellion!

These scholars want to rebel!

"Your Majesty——"

Several ministers in the hall who were originally frowning at the articles knelt down together.

They all secretly showed a smile of success on their faces, "Your Majesty, I also ask Your Majesty to withdraw your order and appease the students first."

"Students are the future pillars of Jingguo!"

Xiao Yunzhou's hands were shaking with anger.

He had long known that scholars in the world formed their own factions. They were noble and not afraid of imperial power.

Especially, there were people behind them to support them, deceiving young students who were not well-versed in the world, thinking that they could go down in history and be praised by the people by following the trend.

But in fact, behind several academies, there were the Queen Tong family and even the Imperial Concubine Fu Cha family.

In addition, there were officials from the Zhejiang Party, the East Party, and the Hunan Party who promoted scholars from their own areas.

The young student thought he had found a mentor, but he didn't know that he was being used as a gun by the officials!

Xiao Yunzhou took a deep breath and looked at the figures of officials who knelt down and echoed the students in front of him.

The voices of the scholars outside were getting louder and louder!

"Your Majesty, please release Lord Jiang Yixu immediately!"

"Your Majesty, is there any evidence to prove that Lord Jiang cheated in the imperial examination seventeen years ago?"

"Lord Jiang has dedicated his life to the people and the court. He is nearly fifty years old and his memorization is not as good as before. Should he be abandoned by the court?! Imprisoned?!"

The scholars were indignant and became more and more noisy.

Lord Fu Cha, the cabinet official in the hall, changed his face, "Your Majesty, we can't let them continue to shout."

"There are five major academies near the capital. If they continue, more students will gather. In excitement, if there are more shoves, I'm afraid something big will happen."

The master of the Liu family felt that something was wrong. Just as he was about to speak, another minister took the lead.

"Your Majesty, the students' anger is not without reason. Today, Lord Jiang was imprisoned. It is inevitable that other scholars will repeat the same mistake seventeen years later."

A minister with an intelligence of 45 stood up and said indignantly.

"If the emperor severely punishes Lord Jiang, all the scholars in the world will be chilled by the emperor!"

Xiao Yunzhou closed his eyes, his chest heaving.

These guys don't know that he knows their intelligence level, and they dare to fool him like this!

He frowned and raised his hand to the guard who reported, "Go, take the leading students——"

The minister with an intelligence of 45 immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, you must not put the leading troublemakers in jail! Otherwise, the students will riot!"

Xiao Yunzhou's face was dark, but he soon laughed, "I want to say, invite the leading students in and let them personally supervise your exams."

The minister with an intelligence of 45 was stunned.

Xiao Yunzhou chuckled, "Let the other students stay."

The guards and ministers were all stunned.

What? They were about to rush in.

The emperor also told them not to leave? Didn't he drive them away?

The emperor smiled, "Bring Jiang Yixu from prison and let him answer the questions with the officials. After the exam, post them on the Zhengyang Gate for me!"

Everyone was stunned.

The emperor still insisted on assessing the ministers.

But even if the results of the assessment came out, what would it matter? If the level is not good today, can it prove that everyone cheated in the imperial examination more than ten years ago?

But soon, several ministers who protested the most, reluctantly looked down at the test papers, and were all stunned.

Then, their faces turned pale and beads of sweat flowed down!

Xiao Yunzhou saw their expressions clearly and chuckled.

...

Noon.

Bang——

Bang——

"Time is up, everyone, please seal the papers!"

Wei Zheng shouted loudly, and several muffled sounds rang out in the hall!

Five or six ministers, clenched their teeth, their faces were ashen, their lips were white, and they fainted with their eyes closed!

"Wei Zheng, get ready!"

Xiao Yunzhou looked at the fainted ones with sarcasm, who were the ones who just echoed the students the most fiercely.

"Today, outside Zhengyang Gate, I want to share with the students the level of these clean ministers!"

Not long after, the students who gathered outside Zhengyang Gate to protest saw the guards come out and post the answer sheets at the door.

Everyone was still protesting, "Your Majesty, you have to be an official for ten years and still have to be tested on writing brilliant articles? What's the use of talking about war on paper?"

But as they protested, the first row of them fell silent.

Because they looked up and saw the leader marking the red papers, they were extremely shocked.

"Oh my god, who is this high-ranking official... How come he even wrote the word fu su er wrong!"

"Ah, it turns out that the test questions are not just about the Four Books and Five Classics!"

"Help, who wrote this? The time limit for reporting disasters in various places is to report to the capital within six months? Damn, in six months, everyone will die!"

"Who wrote this!"

The scholars who made trouble were stunned when they saw the ridiculous test paper in front of them.

And they looked up and soon saw the seven big characters at the top of the test paper.

The first person who wrote the blood letter almost vomited blood and fell down!

Because it was written clearly in black and white.

The answerer: Jiang Yixu, the Minister of Personnel!
