The strongest nine thousand years old

Yan Yunzheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked excitedly: "What's the idea?"

"If you can weaken the noble family, I will remember your great merit and appoint you as the chief eunuch in front of the emperor!"

Chen Dong's heart skipped a beat. Yan Yunzheng was still willing to spend a huge amount of money.

He is now just a small eunuch of no rank, while the chief eunuch in front of the emperor is of the sixth rank, the ceiling of the eunuch world.

This is more than just a three-level promotion, it's a one-step advancement, a meteoric rise to the top!

"That's very nice." Chen Dong gave a thumbs up and praised.

Yan Yunzheng said impatiently: "Hurry up and tell me, don't keep me in suspense!"

Chen Dong was about to speak, but he heard Yu Wenrou gasp and said lazily, "Your Majesty..."

"Write it down and show it to me." Yan Yunzheng whispered.

She stood up and walked towards Yu Wenrou, tapping lightly on the rice paper on the table.

Chen Dong cursed in his heart, "Good fellow, even Yang Bailao is not as cruel as you. Writing with a lamp in the middle of the night, my eyes are almost going blind."

Complaints aside, Chen Dong had no choice but to fight for his position as the chief eunuch in front of the emperor.

"I don't want to be a minion anymore..."

On the other side, Yan Yunzheng walked towards Yuwen Rou with a probing look in his eyes.

Yuwenrou looked up at Yan Yunzheng, a hint of obsession flashing in her eyes, "Your Majesty, I am about to be ruined by you."

Yan Yunzheng endured the discomfort and said calmly: "Rest if you are tired."

"No, I still want to..." Yu Wenrou licked her red lips and looked at Yan Yunzheng with a seductive look.

Yan Yunzheng: "..."

Yu Wenrou also had a plan in mind. As long as Yan Yunzheng was squeezed dry, he would not be able to find other women. Especially Xiao Yourong, she felt a great threat.

Yuwenrou reached out to grab Yan Yunzheng, and Yan Yunzheng quickly stepped back.

Yu Wenrou's face darkened, "What does your majesty mean?"

Yan Yunzheng coughed twice, signaling Chen Dong to come and rescue him.

Chen Dong wanted to make love with Yuwen Rou again, but if he did it too many times, things would easily go wrong.

"Your Majesty, you must never drain the pond to catch all the fish. The happiness of the future can last longer than the happiness of one day." Chen Dong said earnestly.

Yan Yunzheng said quickly: "Xiao Dongzi is right, let me take a rest."

Although Yuwen Rou was not satisfied, she could do nothing because of Yan Yunzheng's firm attitude.

"Xiao Dongzi." Yu Wenrou said suddenly.

Chen Dong was stunned. "What do you want, Madam?"

"Go find Xiaotao tomorrow and get ten thousand taels to prescribe some medicine for His Majesty. The rest will be your reward." Yuwen Rou said.

Yan Yunzheng: "..."

Chen Dong smiled, "Thank you, Madam."

"Queen, please take a rest. I still need to read a few memorials." Yan Yunzheng said.

"Your Majesty..." Yuwen Rou hooked her arms around Yan Yunzheng's neck and asked for a kiss.

Yan Yunzheng couldn't refuse, so he gave her a light kiss and immediately stepped back.

A hint of doubt flashed across Yu Wenrou's eyes. Why did the feeling this time be different from just now?

Moreover, Your Majesty's attitude is too cold.

But Yuwen Rou was so tired that she fell asleep again not long after.

Yan Yunzheng let out a long sigh and complained, "Women are such trouble!"

Chen Dong pointed at Yan Yunzheng's chest and laughed softly, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? You are also a woman."

Yan Yunzheng was choked and snorted in dissatisfaction, "Have you written it out?"

Chen Dong handed the rice paper to Yan Yunzheng. Yan Yunzheng glanced at it and his eyes suddenly showed surprise.

"Okay, okay!" Yan Yunzheng patted Chen Dong's shoulder vigorously, "What a waste of talent, what a waste of talent."

Yan Yunzheng stood up excitedly, "No, I have to go discuss this with Elder Yang."

Chen Dong grabbed Yan Yunzheng and yawned loudly, "If you don't sleep, others will have to sleep too! Let's wait until dawn."

"Yes, yes, yes, wait until dawn. I am too impatient." Yan Yunzheng took a few deep breaths and sat down again.

"Xiao Dongzi, I will issue an edict tomorrow to announce your merits to the world and make you the chief eunuch in front of the emperor!" Yan Yunzheng said solemnly.

Chen Dong waved his hands repeatedly, "Your Majesty, this little bit of fame is of no use to me. Just say that this method was yours. Reputation and the people's support are your reliance on sitting firmly on the throne."

A warm current flowed through Yan Yunzheng's heart, "Xiao Dongzi..."

"Your Majesty, please don't look at me like that. Although I know I am very good, I don't want you to fall in love with me uncontrollably." Chen Dong said.

Yan Yunzheng rolled his eyes at Chen Dong and said, "Get lost!"

…………

The next morning.

Yan Yunzheng issued an imperial decree to promote Chen Dong to the position of chief eunuch in front of the emperor, the ceiling of eunuchs in the palace.

Everyone was envious, jealous and resentful, thinking that Chen Dong was just lucky and had climbed to the position by flattering others.

But someone who was well-informed heard that Chen Dong had cured Yan Yunzheng's hidden illness, allowing Yan Yunzheng to favor the queen for two consecutive nights.

Therefore, although everyone felt that Chen Dong was promoted too quickly, they did not dare to say anything. If they offended the emperor, it would be a pure trouble for themselves. After all, no man would want to talk about hidden illness.

In order to help Chen Dong conceal his plan to "cut off the source of the trouble" against the aristocratic families, Yan Yunzheng deliberately delayed the issuance of the imperial edict for a few days.

Imperial examination to select scholars!

When the imperial edict came out, everyone in the court was shocked.

All the civil and military officials in the court opposed the imperial examination system and asked Yan Yunzheng to revoke his decision.

"Your Majesty, this imperial examination is unheard of and violates the ancestral system!"

"Students from all over the country are of varying quality. The imperial examinations can easily cause regional disparities and lead to public resentment! Your Majesty, please think twice."

"The imperial examinations to select candidates and to go to the capital to take the exams is not only a waste of money, but also a waste of time and a burden on the people. It is definitely not a good idea!"

"Your Majesty, I beg you to revoke your order!"

However, several university scholars headed by Yang Ge Lao agreed with Yan Yunzheng's imperial examination system for selecting scholars, claiming that it was to improve the future of scholars all over the world.

If anyone opposes the imperial examination system to select officials, he is making himself an enemy of all the scholars in the world and of the common people in the world!

"Learn the arts of literature and martial arts, and sell them to the imperial family. Scholars study not only to understand reason and morality, but also to seek a good future. Your Majesty's imperial examination is to give them a chance to rise to prominence!"

"The imperial examination is to expand the career prospects of poor students. You are blocking it. Do you want to be an enemy of scholars in the world? Aren't you afraid of the public criticism?"

"Whoever dares to block the imperial examination will cut off Dayan's path to rebirth. Although I am old, I am still capable of using the knife!"

Several upright officials, such as Yang Ge Lao, were officials of the same generation as Yan Yunzheng’s grandfather. They were veterans of three dynasties and their words carried great weight.

These days, Yan Yunzheng has been discussing the specific plan for selecting officials for the imperial examination with Yang Ge Lao and others to gain their support.

In the court, a group of ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.

The imperial examination system opens a channel for students from poor families, but it will break their monopoly on officialdom, which is clearly severing the roots of their family!

Everyone looked eagerly at Yuwen Qing, the leading figure of the younger generation promoted by the Yuwen family.

Your Majesty favored Yuwen Rou for two consecutive nights, which was a favor to the Yuwen family. What's more, there was also the temptation of being "crowned king".

After a moment of silence, Yuwen Qing slowly said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Yuwen Qing supported it, and everyone had nothing to say but to accept it.

After the imperial edict reached the people, everyone was excited.

Imperial examination to select scholars!

There is a chance to reach the top in one step!
