Shen Chou narrowed his eyes slightly, "You're happy that I don't have to do it to the end!? Huh!?"

Yu Ruyue sensed the danger in those words and shook her head repeatedly, "No! You always think so badly of me. I already told you it's not possible during the day. Why don't you come over at night? Go get down to business! I also need to go and comfort my disciple!"

Shen Chou took a deep breath. Although he was unwilling, he knew that he couldn't continue today. He could only stand up and accept his fate. He first helped Yu Ruyue put clothes on, then dressed himself, pushed open the door and walked out.

Shadow looked at his Majesty's gloomy face and felt a little confused, but he knew that a loyal minister, a loyal minister who dared to speak the truth, must be brave enough to bear the cold eyes of others, of course, these others also included his own Majesty.

Liuguang looked at His Majesty's obviously unsatisfied and extremely angry expression, and secretly lit a candle for Anying and the Minister of Rites in his heart, hoping that everything was going well for them both.

Just as Shen Chou gnashed his teeth, clenched his fists, and prepared to leave to vent his anger, Yu Ruyue ran over with a smile, hugged his neck from behind, and whispered in his ear: "Tonight~ continue~"

Shen Chou's face suddenly turned red!

Is Kisaragi inviting him?!

Ahhhhh!

As expected, Ruyue likes him!

He quickly turned around and hugged the person, "Wait for me!"

Then he left in a hurry, as if he really wanted to fly back and fly back again.

Yu Ruyue looked at his back as he left, feeling a little shy.

However, she was the type who would not hesitate since she had already agreed, so after answering the questions of the Minister of Revenue, she settled the two children out, then secretly told her mother a message, and then she entered the space!

I took a hot shower first, then applied body lotion on my body. Thinking of what happened this afternoon, I washed the body lotion off my body.

Finally, I bought something crucial from the underworld exchange.

Then, just wait quietly.

Shen Chou returned to the palace and slammed the door open, anxiously saying, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have to fart, fart quickly."

"Don't beat around the bush, or I'll kill you."

The Minister of Rites cursed in his heart that this killer had no manners, but in order to avoid being killed, he had no choice but to honestly report the events of the Spring Examination.

"Your Majesty! This is the first Spring Examination since you ascended the throne. Normally, all students would be eager to take the test, but this time, very few people have signed up."

"The few people who signed up were ordinary people."

"The rest of the aristocratic families who could afford to study did not participate in the preparations for this spring hunting expedition."

Shen Chou frowned. He knew very well that this meant that those students did not recognize him as the emperor at all, so they disdained to participate in the first spring examination after he ascended the throne. Not only were those students expressing their dissatisfaction, but it was also expressing the attitude of these aristocratic families!

"Ah!"

"ridiculous!"

"Threatening me!?"

"Since you don't want to participate, then don't participate in this life. Isn't it always said that it's difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son? Then let these people stay at home honestly and give some opportunities to those poor children who really study hard."

The Minister of Rites said with some embarrassment, "Your Majesty! You know that those from humble backgrounds cannot compare to the children of these aristocratic families in terms of resources or vision. Even if they become officials, their ability to handle affairs will not be very strong."

"Our treasury is now empty. Paper, books, famous teachers, and collections of calligraphy are all controlled by the wealthy and powerful families. If this continues, ordinary people will no longer have books to read, and our annual Spring Examination will become a joke, even affecting officials in the government!"

"Your Majesty, this is really not a trivial matter. Please think twice."

Shen Chou sighed. Those aristocratic families felt that they were of low status and lacked legitimacy. After coming to power, they used ruthless methods to investigate corruption and the sale of official positions, and killed all those people, blocking their path to advancement and wealth. They even refused to select concubines to fill the harem, preventing them from stirring up trouble. They wanted to use this opportunity to discipline themselves.

Just like they had coerced Qin Shi before, they made him the emperor a puppet of these aristocratic families and high-ranking officials, allowing them to do whatever they wanted in the court!

He knew the root cause of the problem and naturally knew how to solve it, but he just didn't want to solve it.

Why should he be restricted by them after working so hard to climb to this position?

Want to control him!? Want to fill his harem with people!? Want their daughter to give birth to the future emperor!?

Ah!

He just didn't meet these people's expectations.

"Okay! I got it!"

"Go!"

"I will definitely resolve this matter and let them know who is in charge of this world!"

The Minister of Rites heard the murderous intent in Shen Chou's words.

But he really didn't dare to say anything more. This visit had already made many noble families and old ministers bear a grudge against him.

So he said goodbye and left quickly.

After everyone left, Shen Chou leaned on the dragon chair, looking at the empty hall, and sat for a long time...

Yu Ruyue waited here until dark, but no one came.

She knew that Shen Chou must have encountered some difficult situation. Although she understood it very well, she was still a little angry.

Just as she blew out the candles and lay down on the bed to rest, the door suddenly creaked open, followed by the sound of sparsely stripping clothes, and then an embrace filled with ambergris...

Yu Ruyue felt that Shen Chou was in a very low mood, so she suppressed her unhappiness, turned around and hugged him back.

"What's wrong? Is today's situation very difficult? Can you tell me about it and see if I can help?"

Shen Chou first gave her a kiss, then sighed deeply and told her what happened today.

Yu Ruyue frowned, "Then what do you want to do?"

Shen Chou was somewhat melancholy. "Actually, I've been thinking all day, can I be a good emperor? Do I know anything else besides killing? The emperors of previous dynasties all learned the art of ruling from a young age from various famous teachers and great scholars. But I've been trapped in that square world since I was a child, suffering from illness and pain, and being abused or beaten every day..."

"And those emperors who were carefully trained are still declining step by step. What about me!?"

"Without the support of my family, without any background, and without as much knowledge as they have, will I..."

Yu Ruyue stood up and hugged the self-doubting Shen Chou into her arms. "No! You are the best! Those who are taught by famous teachers are always high and mighty, always self-righteous. They can't even understand why ordinary people can't eat, why people would rebel when they are living a good life."

"What they always think about is how to protect their own interests and how to keep their family standing."

"And you're different!"
