Chapter 57: The imperial examination is about to begin

Time flies by, and it’s September this autumn in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that the imperial examination was about to begin, many ministers from aristocratic families in the court felt very sad.

Not only were they worried, Chen Jue was also worried.

Especially the day before the imperial examination.

Unlike those ministers who were worried that a poor family would replace an aristocratic family, Chen Jue was worried that someone in the court might take action in the imperial examination.

Unavoidably, someone in the court couldn't help but take action in the imperial examination. Two days before the imperial examination, Chen Jue asked someone to invite Cui Zhongli, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, to enter the palace.

It was enough to talk about it until it was very bright the next day, and then he was released from the palace.

On this day plus one night, outsiders would not know what His Majesty and Cui Shangshu were talking about in the Wenhua Palace today.

I only know that during the morning court on the second day, Chen Jue actually proposed to let the aristocratic family protect the safety of the poor students in front of all the civil and military officials.

When this was brought up, many people present were shocked and looked up at the person sitting above.

"Do you still have any objections, sir?"

His Majesty was seen leaning on the dragon chair with a smile on his face and a normal tone, as if he really wanted to discuss it with them.

Anyone who is familiar with this smile would not think that this really meant discussing with them.

Suddenly, he looked at Cui Shangshu again with doubtful eyes.

All the ministers: "???"

what happened?

Cui Shangshu's head was caught in the door, and he actually asked his own people to protect those poor disciples! ! !

People who were close could not help but quietly asked Cui Shangshu, "Cui Shangshu, is this true?"

Cui Zhongli frowned slightly, then quickly opened his eyebrows.

He glanced at his colleagues expressionlessly and did not answer. He only looked up at His Majesty.

Looking at His Majesty's eyes, Cui Zhongli finally understood.

No wonder he was summoned to the palace by His Majesty yesterday and kept in the Wenhua Palace all day and night.

But he didn't see him, and he just asked the palace people to take good care of him.

If there was something he didn't understand yesterday, then Cui Zhongli would be a fool if he didn't understand it at this moment.

Your Majesty is using the Cui family as a raft!

Cui Zhongli looked at the little emperor above who had been looked down upon by his father and the Cui family, and his intuition told him that His Majesty had changed!

Chen Jue was not afraid of Cui Zhongli's direct gaze, and still looked back with a smile in his eyes, not forgetting to put a high hat on him.

"Cui Shangshu is devoted to the imperial court. He knows that there are not enough guards in the capital, and he is worried about the safety of his students.

Only then did you come to me yesterday and proposed that the ministers should take action to protect the students. It can be seen that Cui Qing is really worried about the court. You ministers should study hard with Cui Qing and share my worries! "

"..."

Seeing that all of them lowered their heads and did not answer, Chen Jue was not in a hurry.

He finished a sip of tea handed to him by Liu Zhong before raising his eyes to look at the group of ministers again.

Chen Jue stood up, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, since everyone has no objections, let's follow the right minister's proposal.

The safety of the students taking the first scientific examination will be left to you. "

On this day, the highly anticipated imperial examination is about to begin.

It is also the imperial examination that Chen Jue has been thinking about.

Since this is the first time in history that the imperial examination has been held, there is no source for what we want to learn from.

In addition, there were many students coming to take the scientific examination, so the left and right ministers and their six ministries jointly discussed and finally decided to set the examination venue at the larger Chongxuan College.

There is no way, only that venue is the largest and can accommodate many people.

Therefore, early in the morning, many students gathered outside the gate of Chong College.

"Brother Liu, you have to take the exam well this time and try to win the title."
