Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

After Wang Baobao left, Su Mengjiao walked out from behind Ye Chen.

She was dressed in a phoenix coronet and a gorgeous robe, and was extremely beautiful and charming. Her noble and domineering temperament made people dare not look directly at her.

But at this moment, her expression was very complicated, and she walked in front of Ye Chen.

"Your Majesty, the people who went to Guanzhong to explore for Danhei have replied, and they have indeed found ore. But I want to know how Your Majesty knew there was so much Danhei buried there."

Hearing this, Ye Chen said in a calm tone: "I have only read some ancient books written by alchemists."

Hearing this, Su Mengjiao frowned slightly, obviously skeptical about the answer.

Ye Chen stopped explaining and decisively changed the subject.

"Tomorrow morning, I will come to Taiqian Palace and enforce the imperial examination."

Ye Chen's voice was firm and powerful, full of determination.

Su Mengjiao was shocked, she naturally understood the purpose of Ye Chen's action.

Through examinations in the past few days, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Frontier Army and the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Camp have been selected.

but.

There has been constant opposition to this system.

This is just the selection of generals.

Once it is implemented in the selection of civil servants, it will inevitably cause a huge shock in the court.

She knew even more clearly that Ye Chen's move was not only to eliminate Yang Dechang's followers in the court, but also to cultivate his own power.

Su Mengjiao felt helpless. She had been in power for many years, so how could she not see through Ye Chen's plan?

However, at this moment she really had no way to refute it.

Isn't it her dream to eradicate Yang Dechang's followers?

Su Mengjiao sighed slightly, with a hint of compromise in her eyes.

Although she was somewhat reluctant, for the sake of the overall situation, she had no choice but to support Ye Chen.

"Since the emperor has made his decision, I will naturally support it."

Su Mengjiao finally said.

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded.

"Then Queen Mother, I will leave."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of Taiqian Palace.

After leaving Taiqian Palace, Ye Chen returned to Yangxin Palace.

"Cheng'en, let Fuyao come over."

Just returned to the Yangxin Palace.

Ye Chen said to Cheng En.

"promise!"

Yun Fuyao quickly entered the main hall of the Yangxin Palace. She was dressed in light yellow brocade and had a scholarly temperament, like a blooming lily, fresh and elegant.

"I have met your Majesty."

Yun Fuyao saluted.

"Ah."

Ye Chen nodded slightly and looked at Yun Fuyao, his eyes revealing trust and expectation.

"Fuyao, I will be launching the imperial examination tomorrow, and I intend to have you prepare the first civil service examination paper."

Hearing this, Yun Fuyao's breathing quickened slightly. She bowed slightly and said in a firm tone, "Your Majesty, I will do my best!"

"Fuyao, this matter must be kept confidential. The contents of the test paper are only known to you and me. Once you have prepared the content, show it to me."

"I understand!"

Yun Fuyao retreated.

After arriving at the side hall of the Yangxin Palace, Yun Fuyao put aside all other things and began to concentrate on thinking about the imperial examination questions.

After careful consideration, Yun Fuyao finally completed a question.

Then, she carried the test questions and walked lightly to the palace where Ye Chen was.

Present the test questions to Ye Chen.

Seeing Yun Fuyao's high efficiency, Ye Chen took the test paper and looked at it carefully.

As a result, he found out that it was just a quiz.

Ye Chen shook his head and said to Yun Fuyao, "Fuyao, your test questions are very good, but in order to select talents more fairly and justly, this test paper needs a clear scoring method.

Only in this way can truly talented people stand out.

It is not enough to just use essay questions. We also need multiple-choice questions to include all kinds of academic content.

The talent I want cannot be just Confucian scholars, because those who are selected in this way will just be nerds!"

Hearing this, Yun Fuyao was slightly stunned, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Points system?

A lot of knowledge is used for exams.

Suddenly, Yun Fuyao felt a surge of inspiration. She returned to the side hall and quickly began to prepare the test questions.

Every time she finished a question, she would show it to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen discussed it seriously with her, set a score, and finally let her stay in the main hall to save her from running back and forth.

Before they knew it, the two of them were discussing late into the night.

Ye Chen didn't even invite Madam Xue.

He didn't ask the imperial concubine to sleep with him either.

The lights in the palace were soft and warm, illuminating the focused faces of the two people.

Both of them seemed to have lost track of time.

"Ah, it's so late!"

Finally, Yun Fuyao realized that it was getting dark and exclaimed.

Then, just as she was about to ask for permission to leave, her body shook.

She had just recovered from a serious illness and had been using her brain too much, which had exceeded her body's capacity. For a moment, she felt dizzy.

"Fuyao, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that something was wrong, Ye Chen suddenly stood up and supported Yun Fuyao.

In an instant, Yun Fuyao blushed with shyness, and an inexplicable panic surged in her heart.

She instinctively resisted Ye Chen's actions, but she felt a different emotion deep in her heart, and her eyes gradually became blurred.

The atmosphere between the two gradually became ambiguous.
