Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

The third place winner's face was distorted with jealousy when he saw how popular the first place winner was.

I couldn't help but say, "What does an examiner do? Is he willing to let a woman be better than a man?"

The examiner said that it was not possible if he was unwilling.

They also thought that since it was the first time women took part in the imperial examination, it would be good to have a female top scorer, and it would be bad if she was too aggressive, so she had to be suppressed.

But during those days Xu Jinyu squatted outside the Imperial Examination Hall, staring at the examiners inside to see if they would show favoritism.

When several examiners were discussing whether to suppress the female champion, Lord Xu's shouting was so loud that all the officials in the capital could hear it.

[If you dare to suppress the female champion, I will go to the emperor to complain.]

[Women need a female champion as a role model! ]

So this ranking can only be like this.

They really couldn't do anything to Lord Xu because Lord Xu would sue the parents, and the parents would side with Lord Xu.

Xu Jinyu was also on the second floor of the roadside, watching the number one scholar parade. When the number one scholar walked over to him, Xu Jinyu shouted at him, "Number one scholar, you are the best!"

This sound...

Liu Zhiwan's heart moved.

It’s His Royal Highness Prince An.

As women participating in the imperial examination, many of them had visited Prince An.

Prince An not only cared about their food and accommodation, but also hired teachers to tutor them.

As women, they may have good knowledge, but they obviously do not know as much about Daqian's policies as men.

The teacher invited by His Royal Highness Prince An mainly deals with this.

Liu Zhiwan raised her head and clasped her fists to thank His Royal Highness Prince An: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Royal Highness Prince An."

She really wanted to thank His Royal Highness Prince An for his compliment. Just looking at her name, one could tell that her parents expected her to be gentle and polite. They had never thought of letting her pass the imperial examinations and become an official. They had asked her to take the examinations for the scholar and the juren just to make her look good when she got married.

So she was especially grateful to His Royal Highness Prince An.

After the prince took a quick look at the grand scene on the street, he hurried back to the palace. He always rode back at full speed from Jiangnan.

Because the grand court meeting three days later would be a grand occasion, officials from all over the country who originally belonged to Dai Viet and Dai Wu were transferred back to the capital to take up their posts, while many officials in the capital had to take up their posts outside the capital.

As the prince, he must participate in such occasions.

Another task for those officials who take up local posts is to implement tax reform. He needs to discuss with these officials the problems encountered in tax reform.

The grand court meeting on the second day was exceptionally solemn. From the first step into the palace, there was a guard every three steps and a guard every five steps. All of them had shining armor and serious faces.

Such a scene made Xu Jinyu shrink his neck.

[Oh my god! What happened? I've been attending court for several years, and this is the first time I'm a little uncomfortable with such a serious situation. I can't be absent from duty for a while, or I'll be in trouble if I'm caught by the emperor.]

Ministers of Daqian: Very good, please keep it, Lord Xu. Today's scene is very serious, so Lord Xu, please don't make trouble. After all, there are outsiders here. Let's keep Daqian's strength and mystery for a while longer.

The ministers stood in line, waiting for Emperor Xuan to appear.

Everyone has to stand with vigor and energy.

Until the edict officer's drawn-out voice came,

"Go to court~~~~"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

········

Emperor Xuan walked out with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, sat on the dragon throne, and raised his hand slightly.

The ministers stood up: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

[Oh~~ I know why it is so serious today. Someone must be trying to assassinate the emperor. ]

[I said it, it is outrageous that the emperor destroyed two countries without an assassination attempt.]

【Someone tried to assassinate the emperor but failed, so the defense of the palace was tightened. 】

The momentum that had just built up on Emperor Xuan's face disappeared in an instant.

His teeth were clattering in his mouth. His face, his aura, his personality, and his noble appearance were all destroyed by Xu Jinyu.

Zuo Xiang couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

I told His Majesty yesterday that, whether for the sake of face or the inner meaning, let Lord Xu take a day off.

But Your Majesty just doesn't agree.

His Majesty said that he wanted to let Xu Jinyu see what the power of a great leader looks like, so that he could at least respect him a little more in the future.

As the king of a country, Xu Jinyu is visited by the emperor every day. He should at least call him "Your Majesty"!

His Majesty had no idea at all. In Xu Jinyu's mind, he was just an old and perverted pervert. He had even forgotten how embarrassed he was when Xu Jinyu forced him to dig the bed.

In Xu Jinyu's mind, Emperor Xuan was at most a man of some ability.

That ability is not top-notch either.

Think about those Qin Shi Huang who swept across the world, those Baba who started with a bowl and ended with an empire, which one of them is not worse than the current Emperor Xuan.

As for the rest...

Most people's legs were already half limp.

Xie Xu, the former governor of Chongzhou and current head of the Ministry of Rites, shuddered: "Who! Who dares to speak so openly about the emperor? He is asking for his life."

Even if the person who spoke was a prince, he would still be punished.

Liu Zhiwan lowered her head and couldn't help but look forward.

As the top scorer of this year's exam, she was assigned to the Hanlin Academy unsurprisingly.

She was also familiar with this voice. Wasn't it His Royal Highness Prince An?

How dare His Royal Highness Prince An speak like this in the court room?

It seems that my favor to His Royal Highness Prince An will increase a lot.

To be able to speak like this openly in the court, he must either be fearless or be favored by His Majesty.

But·······

Liu Zhiwan couldn't help but wonder: Does the emperor favor his subjects so much?

The official next to Liu Zhiwan nodded with satisfaction. This year's top scholar was good and fairly steady.

You should know that the previous top scholar was frightened by this sound and almost screamed, but the people next to him pulled, dragged and gagged him so that no abnormality was discovered.

The officials who were attending the court meeting for the first time were all frightened by the sound and dared not move. They either lowered their heads and pretended to be dead, or trembled all over, calculating when was the right time to kneel down.

Especially those officials transferred from Dai Viet and Dai Wu have already started brainstorming in their minds.

What does this mean?

Was it the emperor's way of showing them his power, or was it the emperor's attempt to test their loyalty and wanted them to stand up and stop him?

no problem!

Xie Guohua, Marquis of Pingyue, who had just returned from the front line, strode out of the line, wanting to condemn this bastard who was so audacious as to disrespect His Majesty.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Jiang Hai, who wanted to catch Xie Guohua, failed to do so and watched Xie Guohua was about to impeach someone.

Jiang Hai was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn't know how to stop Xie Guohua.

At this time, a figure was faster than Xie Guohua. He passed Xie Guohua in three or two steps and stood in front of Xie Guohua: "Your Majesty! I impeach Xie Guohua, the Marquis of Pingyue, for being insidious and two-faced. He previously worked for Daiyue and now works for money. Your Majesty, it is too risky to entrust Xie Guohua with such an important task."

Xie Guohua glanced at the person in front of him and cursed inwardly, saying it was bad luck.

The man in front of him was called Wu Shen, who was famous in Dai Viet for his ability to socialize and curry favor with the emperor. This was a way of belittling himself and offering a token of his allegiance to His Majesty.

This action of his would indeed be effective if the person above him was the emperor of Dai Viet, because the emperor of Dai Viet hated generals who held military power.

Unfortunately, the person above is the emperor of Daqian.

The Emperor of Daqian...

Xie Guohua was a little nervous, as he didn't know the emperor of Daqian well, and he thought he wouldn't abandon the emperor after he had done his job.

should········

Xie Guohua was not sure, but before going to court, his son told him that there was a surprise, but he didn't know what the surprise was.

After Wu Shen impeached the people, the court fell silent.

This kind of silence makes him uneasy. What does it mean? At least there should be some movement~~

[The impeacher is called Wu Shen. As soon as he arrived in the capital, he found a way to contact Hun Dehou. He spoke passionately to Hun Dehou, saying that he wanted to restore the country, overthrow Daqian, and trample the emperor of Daqian under his feet...]

[He asked for a lot of things, but in the end, Marquis Hun De was a little frustrated and just wanted to eat and wait for death. He didn't want to bother anymore, so he simply changed his target and impeached Xie Guohua, Marquis Pingyue, in order to get into the emperor's eyes.]

[This fuss... Oh~~~ It turns out that he feels that his current official position is too low, and he wants to change to a higher position, so he is struggling on both sides, hoping to make some progress. ]
