The strongest nine thousand years old

The imperial examination was held simultaneously in all nine provinces, with a total of four examination subjects, each lasting half a day.

During these two days, all students taking the exams are not allowed to leave the college.

The top ten students from each state will go to Yanjing City to be personally interviewed by Yan Yunzheng.

In addition, each state would select the top 100 students and grant them the status of "scholars" as a reserve force to supplement local officials. Although they were not officials, they had the privilege of not kneeling when meeting officials.

Just after the opening of the imperial examination, a rumor suddenly spread throughout the Nine Provinces - the imperial examination papers had been leaked by His Majesty to the major families, and the so-called fairness and justice was just a cover for the people of the world to see!

At the same time, the imperial examination papers were copied countless times and spread to every corner of Kyushu.

Those families waiting outside the examination hall, those parents who hoped their children would become successful, all changed their expressions in an instant. The gods they believed in collapsed!

"dong dong dong"

The drum for appealing against grievances outside the government office in Yanjing was struck by the angry people. They shouted outside the government office, demanding justice!

“Is there anyone who cares about the leak of the test paper?”

"We sold our house and land to support our son's education, all we wanted was an opportunity. Why can't you even give us this opportunity?"

"Corrupt officials are rampant, the emperor is unjust, and we are rebelling!"

"Go! Go in!"

This scene was played out in front of every government office in Kyushu. Those irrational people, instigated by those with ulterior motives, turned into irrational beasts and actually stormed the government offices!

Although the officials of the government office quickly controlled the situation, more people were instigated and rushed towards the government office.

Some even ran outside the palace and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, we want justice!"

"Kill the corrupt officials and offer sacrifices to the heroic spirits. We do not believe that Your Majesty is making peace with the noble families. Your Majesty, please have Commander Chen conduct a thorough investigation!"

"The imperial examination was proposed by your majesty. Your majesty must not block the children's path!"

"Your Majesty, please give us justice!"

In the bedroom, Yan Yunzheng's face suddenly turned ugly after hearing Chen Dong's report.

"They are slapping me in the face!" Yan Yunzheng gritted his teeth.

She had just won the support of the people yesterday, but today she lost all the support of the people because of the imperial examination cheating.

Chen Dong comforted him, "Don't worry, the truth will come out when those students come out of the examination hall."

"Your Majesty, the six ministers are outside seeking to see you." Li Yuhuan's crisp voice came from outside the door.

Yan Yunzheng said depressedly: "Let them in."

Several people filed in and were about to speak when Yan Yunzheng spoke first: "I already know why you are here. The Jinyiwei will be fully responsible for investigating this matter."

Several people looked at each other, not surprised. They had expected this when they saw Chen Dong after entering.

"Your Majesty, the situation in Yanjing City represents the situation in the other eight states. I hope Your Majesty will quickly send imperial envoys to various places to deal with this matter." The new Minister of War Wu Yuan bowed.

Chen Dong smiled calmly, "The Jinyiwei have already arrived at Bazhou College."

Several people looked at each other and were shocked. Jinyiwei moved so quickly?

Zheng Chong's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly smelled a familiar smell.

"Commander Chen, Your Majesty, is this you..." Zheng Chong asked cautiously.

The other five people also reacted suddenly.

This familiar smell is a trap set by Chen Dong and His Majesty!

Chen Dong saw the expressions of the six people and said unhappily, "What are you looking at? Is my reputation so bad?"

Although the six people did not speak, their expressions were surprisingly consistent. After all, Chen Dong had a history of setting traps for his opponents.

Chen Dong was very depressed. This matter was not planned by him, he just reacted quickly and took advantage of the situation.

Yan Yunzheng suppressed his laughter, coughed lightly, and said, "My six beloved ministers, please go back. I know how to handle this matter."

They came in a hurry to discuss countermeasures, but in the end they found out that they were not concerned about anything. Although the six people were dissatisfied, they did not dare to get angry and just bowed and left.

Yan Yunzheng smiled and said, "If they hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed it. This really looks like your work."

Chen Dong cried out, "Don't you know whether I did it or not?"

"Draft a document to prevent the prefectures and governments from making things difficult for the people." After a pause, Yan Yunzheng continued, "However, the mastermind behind this must be found out!"

Chen Dong snorted heavily, "I will definitely cut that cunning guy into pieces!"

Chen Dong drafted the imperial edict, stamped it with the seal, and at the same time wrote eight secret letters, which he sent together to the Jinyiwei in the eight states.

The whole of Jiuzhou was in chaos. If no one planned this, Chen Dong would immediately castrate himself and become a real eunuch.

After the imperial edict and secret letter were sent out, Chen Dong breathed a sigh of relief.

"You weren't the one who cheated in the imperial examination, but you were the one who planned Liu Yong's sweeping of the Martyrs' Cemetery, right?"

Yan Yunzheng's half-smile made Chen Dong feel embarrassed, as if he was caught cheating in bed.

"Nothing can escape your Majesty's eyes." Chen Dong spread his hands.

Yan Yunzheng snorted heavily, "How could a coward who surrendered in battle and was afraid of death have the awareness to spend all his family wealth to atone for his sins? There must be someone behind the scenes who is instructing him, and the only person who can instruct him is you, besides me."

Chen Dong said: "I just explained the interests to him, and he took the initiative to bring it up."

Yan Yunzheng didn't believe it at all, "How dare you lie to me?"

Chen Dong raised his hands in surrender, "Alright, alright, I'll confess. It was the Eighth Family Master. Someone exposed his dirty deeds, and I made a deal with him."

"There are enough dead people, so his family doesn't need to be eliminated. Besides, we don't have enough people to guard a monument, so he can be considered a waste."

Yan Yunzheng's face was slightly silent, recalling the bloody massacre of yesterday. The weeping and wailing were still vivid in his mind.

"Are the laws of Dayan too strict?" Yan Yunzheng asked.

Chen Dong put his hands on Yan Yunzheng's shoulders to relax her muscles and bones. "Don't listen to that corrupt scholar's nonsense. He just wants to attract your attention so that he can make a name for himself."

"I asked someone to check Xu You's background. He is a kid from a poor family with no real talent or knowledge. Don't worry about him." Chen Dong said disdainfully.

Yan Yunzheng glanced at Chen Dong and said, "Why do I feel like you are deliberately belittling him?"

"You must be joking! Do you really need to belittle that kind of guy?" Chen Dong seemed to have been greatly insulted. He walked around to Yan Yunzheng, lifted her chin, and stared at her with scorching eyes, "Woman, you have successfully angered me!"

Yan Yunzheng's cheeks were slightly red, and she didn't dare to look directly at Chen Dong. She raised her green jade hand and slapped Chen Dong's hand away, "Stop making trouble. It's so noisy outside, I want to go out for a walk."

Chen Dong's face turned serious, "Since the other party has made a move, you might as well make things bigger."

Yan Yunzheng nodded vigorously.
