My subjects are too rebellious!

As the bell rang, the morning court began on time.

The black-armored soldiers in front of Taihe Gate also opened the door to allow officials to enter.

Civil officials walk on the left and military officers walk on the right.

After crossing the Jinshui Bridge, they lined up in the square.

But today's position has changed a little bit.

There were actually some people missing behind Yan Song.

Qin Chuan looked carefully and found that those people actually ran behind Cai Jing.

Qin Chuan was wearing a black dragon robe and a crown with twelve tassels on his head.

It is round in front and square in the back, covered with a crown plate, and suffixed with twelve streams in front and back.

There are 12 tassels in front and back, and each tassel has 12 jade beads in red, yellow, green, white and black.

Qin Chuan sneered as he looked at the ministers standing in four forces, but he didn't care. He took a step forward and sat upright on the dragon throne.

When all the officials saw Qin Chuan, they shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, we are here to see you!"

"Long live your majesty."

Qin Chuan called out in a false tone, "My dear ministers, please stand up."

After all the officials stood up, Zhang Rang stepped forward and sang: "I have a report for the morning meeting. If there is nothing else, I will leave the court!"

The Minister of War Ruan Dianfu was the first to come out. After bowing to Qin Chuan, he spoke loudly.

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial."

"Accurate."

Ruan Dianfu glanced at Cao Cao and Aobai, then said, "Your Majesty, I accuse General Cao Cao of the Southern Expedition and General Cao of the Western Expedition of secretly mobilizing troops with the intention of plotting something illegal."

"Your Majesty, please punish me severely!"

As he said this, he actually knelt down heavily and kowtowed hard.

It seems that he behaves very much like a loyal minister.

If Qin Chuan hadn't seen the loyalty level of 18 above his head, he might have been fooled by his passionate appearance.

Qin Chuan did not reply, and Cao Cao and Aobai, who were standing, did not show any panic either.

This scene was naturally seen by Cai Jing.

He seemed to have guessed something and looked at His Majesty with some uncertainty.

Just this one glance made him feel heartbroken.

Qin Chuan was looking at him with murderous eyes at this moment, as if he could see through his thoughts.

"My dear, what else do you want?"

Ruan Dianfu raised his head, somewhat confused.

This...isn't it a big deal to mobilize troops without permission?

But then, Qin Chuan said with obvious threat: "I asked them to do this."

"Besides, this is a secret! The most important secret of the dynasty!"

"And you, are the one who made this secret known to the public. Tell me!"

"What exactly do you want!"

The continuous shouting frightened Ruan Dianfu so much that he collapsed to the ground in an instant, stammering and unable to utter a complete sentence.

Qin Chuan found his expression somewhat amusing, and then signaled Long Yi to leave the class.

Long Yi immediately came out and said, "The Minister of War, Ruan Dianfu, has oppressed the ruler with his power and levied heavy taxes. If anyone rebels against him, disaster will come immediately."

"It has now been discovered and the evidence is irrefutable that he accepted bribes and lived an extravagant life."

"Your Majesty, please make your decision."

When Ruan Dianfu heard this, his face turned pale.

He always thought he was being very secretive, but why...why...

"Catch him for me! Behead him and let everyone know! Also, Heshen! After the court session, confiscate his property and execute all nine generations of his clan."

"Here!"

As Qin Chuan's order was given, the Black Armor Army walked towards Ruan Dianfu.

Ruan Dianfu, who was slumped on the ground, looked at the Black Armor Army getting closer and closer to him, and suddenly shouted in fear.

"Sikong, save me! Sikong, save me!"

Seeing that Cai Jing ignored him, he turned his head and looked elsewhere: "Lord Li, Lord Yang, save me!"

"For the sake of our friendship, please save me!"

As Ruan Dianfu pleaded again and again and saw him about to be dragged away, Cai Jing could not help but want to leave.

But before he could take a step, he saw Qin Chuan staring at him with a strange look on his face.

Cai Jing stood still for a moment, not daring to move at all.

He could feel that if he moved at this moment, he would be the next one to be beheaded.

Li Linfu also felt a little sad.

Because Ruan Dianfu hid his bribes in the same way as him. If Your Majesty can find him, he will definitely be able to find himself.

He didn't even think about it, it was His Majesty who gave him a chance.

Instead, he raised his head slightly and glanced at His Majesty. Seeing the faint sneer on the corner of His Majesty's mouth, he felt that it was a naked irony towards him.

This was something he could not tolerate as a scholar.

He felt that this was an insult from His Majesty.

At this moment, Li Linfu's loyalty plummeted and directly reached 7 points.

Naturally, Qin Chuan saw this change clearly.

But he just stared at Li Linfu as if he was a monkey.

Cai Jing, however, knew the situation and kept his head down, not daring to make any unusual moves.

At this moment, the only ones left among the six ministers were the Minister of Works Yang Su, the Minister of Rites Li Linfu, and the Minister of Revenue Heshen who was loyal to Qin Chuan.

As for the other three departments, Qin Chuan has not promoted them yet, he is just waiting.

Waiting for the results of this technology, the imperial examinations that have not been held in more than ten years will also be blessed by the national fortune of 67.

He firmly believes that talents will emerge from this technology.

Looking at Yan Song, Qin Chuan took the initiative to ask: "Prime Minister Yan, how is the imperial examination going now?"

Yan Song immediately stepped out of the classroom, bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, all the students from the north and south have arrived in the capital now."

"And the Jinyiwei have all been screened, and the students who don't meet the requirements have been eliminated. There are 1,361 students left."

Qin Chuan naturally understood what screening meant and nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Yan Song bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, will the imperial examination still be based on the Four Books and Five Classics?"

Qin Chuan thought for a moment and said, "The Four Books, Scriptures, Poems, Fu, and Miscellaneous Writings are all needed."

"Also, we will take the military strategy test."

"And as I said before, your opinions on the princes of various places must also be expressed."

Yan Song carefully remembered the emperor's request, and then responded: "I obey your order!"

Qin Chuan then added: "Remember, even if you have excellent grades, but you have bad character, you will never be hired."

"In addition, a total of 360 Jinshi candidates were admitted, including 3 in the first class, 183 in the second class, and 174 in the third class."

"If you are exceptionally good at military tactics, you will be admitted as an exception."

"Wei Chen accepts the order!"

After receiving the order, Yan Song returned to his class and stood.

Afterwards, Qin Chuan's eyes kept scanning back and forth between Yang Su and Li Linfu.

Although Li Linfu was extremely dissatisfied at the moment, he did not dare to make the slightest move.

He knew that if he showed even the slightest dissatisfaction, he would not be able to leave the palace safely today.

But Yang Su stood there with his head down, indifferent, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him.

He had already made up his mind that after the court was dismissed, he would vent all his anger on those lowly craftsmen.

This is also one of his biggest hobbies.

Qin Chuan found all the officials very bored, so he announced it in front of them.

"Those who perform well in this imperial examination will be appointed as officials, and I will personally reward them."

"If you have excellent results in a single subject, you can be admitted as an exception."

"You may wish to take a look. The empty seats next to you will soon be occupied by candidates currently in Beijing."

After saying this, Qin Chuan signaled to Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang took a few steps forward and sang: "Officials, withdraw from the court!"

"Long live your majesty!"

After the ceremony, all officials withdrew one by one.

But what Qin Chuan just said was intentional.

He just wanted to see how many of the civil and military officials in the court would go back to win over the candidates in advance.

I also want to see how many of those students who talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality can be won over.

The Jinyiwei under Long Yi had already kept them all under surveillance.

Every move cannot escape their eyes.

This is an open conspiracy, but even if it is an open conspiracy, those people have to follow it.

Yan Song also learned all this through Heshen early on.

Therefore, in the court, the two did not object, and did not even show the slightest bit of weirdness.
