After breaking off relations, the prince's family regretted it for the rest of their lives.

However, Chen Changan was not worried.

Since ancient times, emperors have been very conflicted. They would feel uneasy if their ministers had no weaknesses.

If his reputation for lust were to spread, it would not only reassure the emperor, but also prevent him from getting married. Why not do it?

Forget it, let him be!

The temperature of ambiguity continued to rise, and the two women almost stuck to Chen Changan.

After much difficulty, I finally arrived at the Imperial College.

The Imperial Academy is bustling with people today. Almost all the children of court officials and dignitaries are here, and the place is crowded with people.

The lintel of the Imperial Academy is inscribed with large characters written by the emperor himself.

Imperial College Competition.

Civil officials get off their sedan chairs, and military generals get off their horses!

Inside and outside the Imperial College, there were banners of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce hung all over. They were bright red silk, and each one was covered with words!

"Suzhou Chamber of Commerce wishes the Imperial College Competition a complete success!"

"Friendship first, competition second—Announcement from Suzhou Chamber of Commerce!"

"The Suzhou Chamber of Commerce has a saying: Show the rising sun and watch the dragons soar and the tigers leap; celebrate the Lantern Festival and wish the fish to leap over the dragon gate!"

It’s full and it’s right in front of the eye!

Chen Changan is a little annoyed!

Hu Deyong, I asked you to do advertising, not to make it so commercial!

Tsk tsk, this is all elements of Suzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Do you think this is over?

When Chen Changan entered the gate of the Imperial College, he saw a lot of people gathered in front of him.

Several servants in green clothes and small hats were greeting people warmly.

"Sir, welcome to the Imperial College Competition hosted by the Imperial College and organized by the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce!"

"The Suzhou Chamber of Commerce has prepared brushes, inkstones, rice paper, and umbrellas for you to block the sun and rain as gifts for you, sir!"

"Please sign in at the sign-in counter to confirm that you are here!"

Naturally, there is also the emblem of Suzhou Chamber of Commerce on the gift.

Not only the people of Da Chu, but modern people all like the feeling of getting something for nothing.

Who wouldn’t be happy when there are gifts to be received?

"Sign in? Sign in for what?"

"Your Suzhou Chamber of Commerce is really good. How could you participate in such a high-end competition?"

"Take me to see what a sign-in is?"

The servant did not dare to delay and led the adults inside and through the screen wall.

The screen wall is the wall behind the entrance of the Imperial Academy.

It is very common in Imperial College, princes' palaces, or many nobles' mansions, and the stone carvings are exquisite.

Firstly, it blocks the view and highlights the grandeur of the mansion; secondly, the Chu people are reserved; thirdly, it is said to have the effect of exorcising ghosts and evil spirits.

Behind the screen wall is the courtyard of the Imperial College.

Opposite the door, there is a huge sky-blue background with a painting of thousands of horses galloping.

There are several lines of big words on the background board.

The Imperial College Competition opens grandly!

Host: Tai College.

Host: Suzhou Chamber of Commerce

Sign in place!

The dragons and phoenixes are flying and dancing, which is particularly eye-catching.

In front of the backdrop is the stage, with musicians on both sides and many tables and chairs placed below.

Next to the tables and chairs, there is a sign: Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, please take a seat.

The students who came to participate in the competition were gathered here, looking at the stage excitedly.

There were many dignitaries signing their names on the stage, and many painters were sitting below, painting the crowd with their brushes.

You have to leave an impression, right?

Chen Changan kept shaking his head.

Someone beside him suddenly spoke up and approached Chen Changan: "Master Chen, how is Old Hu doing?"

Hu Deyong looked excited and looked forward to Chen Changan's praise.

Chen Changan rolled his eyes at Hu Deyong and said, "Captain Hu, have you earned back the 100,000 taels of silver?"

Hu Deyong laughed out loud.

Suzhou Chamber of Commerce not only invests in public transportation, but also involves other industries. As a result, Lao Hu has received a lot of orders.

"Master Chen knows the answer, so why ask me?"

Hu Deyong patted his chest loudly: "Old Hu knows the rules. Don't worry, after the Imperial College Competition is over, Suzhou Chamber of Commerce will definitely reward you handsomely."

Chen Changan did not comment. He had already said that he didn't want any money.

Being able to earn back the money is Hu Deyong's ability.

After telling Su Yu and Qiu Xiang to go and prepare, Chen Changan walked slowly to the living room of Taixue Academy.

There were many people sitting in the living room.

On the left side sat many well-dressed teachers, who were the deans of the six academies, with Zhu Zigeng sitting at the very bottom.

There were many military generals sitting on the right, and the King of Huainan was also prominently visible.

Chen Changan first bowed to the two deans sitting in the main seats, and then came to Zhu Zigeng's side.

"Dean Zhu, the Imperial College Competition is ready and can begin at any time."

Zhu Zigeng had seen it a long time ago and nodded slightly to Chen Changan.

"Changan, you are indeed the number one scholar!"

"I didn't spend a penny to decorate Tai Academy like a beautiful flower. I'm very happy!"

"Remember to be low-key, being low-key is the best way to show off!"

Zhu Zigeng couldn't suppress his joy, but Chen Changan just laughed.

Luo Qianfan, the vice president of Taixue College, had an old acquaintance with the King of Huainan and they had a very good relationship. When he saw Chen Changan coming over, he sneered and spoke.

"Humph, the Imperial Academy trains officials who hold high positions!"

"Allowing untouchables to intervene would lower the standard of the Imperial Academy and make us all a laughing stock, wouldn't it?"

"Zhu Zigeng, what do you mean?"

Luo Qianfan had accumulated a lot of prestige, and Zhu Zigeng sighed.

“If we don’t allow the untouchables to participate, are we going to let the engineering college bear the responsibility on its own?”

"Last year, the Civil Service College hosted it, and it cost 50,000 taels of silver, but it was not as good as this one."

"The Institute of Technology is run by a stepmother. It has no money. What can we do if we don't let the untouchables run it?"

Luo Qianfan was disdainful.

Chen Changan also knew that Zhu Zigeng had not hit the point.

It’s okay for untouchables to host the event, but there shouldn’t be so many commercial elements involved.

Without waiting for Luo Qianfan to speak, Chen Changan quickly added.

"You are talking about untouchables, which lowers the level of the Imperial College. The Institute of Technology cannot agree with it."

"Your Majesty knows that the people are the most important, the country is second, and the emperor is the least important. Can it be that no matter how big the Imperial College is, it can be bigger than the emperor?"

Everyone was shocked. The top scholar had such a powerful tongue!

How dare Luo Qianfan criticize the untouchables when he forcibly linked the advertisement matter to the emperor?

If you say it, it means you think the emperor is unfair!

Chen Changan added: "Just now, Dean Zhu has already said that the Institute of Technology has no money, so it is helpless to let the untouchables participate."

"If Vice President Luo wants to complain, he should complain to the person who made this rule."

"I wonder which bastard said this rule?"

Ouch!

This was the Prince of Huainan openly suggesting to the Emperor in the court. How could Chen Changan not know?

Since you know this, how dare you insult King Huainan?

Zhu Zigeng also trembled all over, and said tremblingly: "Changan, watch your tone, everyone present is an adult!"

Chen Changan showed no fear and clasped his fists.

"The boy is ignorant and has offended the adults."

Luo Qianfan looked at King Huainan.

Seeing that Chen Zhan’s face was full of anger but he didn’t say anything, he gritted his teeth.

"Is this the kind of person who insults others without asking questions?"

"In my opinion, you have no knowledge of etiquette and use foul language!"

"I will see the emperor later and report the truth. I ask the emperor to revoke the award for the top scholar and expel him from the Imperial Academy!"

Zhu Zigeng gritted his teeth immediately, Luo Qianfan was clearly taking advantage of the situation!

Just as Zhu Zigeng was about to speak, he heard the voice of Eunuch Jing coming from outside the door.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

coming!

Luo Qianfan and all the teachers stood up at the same time, with joy on their faces: "Top Scholar, you are dead!"

"I will report you to the Emperor!"
