Chapter 966: Chicken Sichen? (2)

The one who was shocked when he heard Jiang Yuyan's words was not known, but the others were not much better. Everyone looked at the girl in blue in front of him for a while and no one spoke. Many people thought of a question in their hearts: Could it be... this is the test that His Majesty the Emperor gave them this year?

It is said that since His Majesty the Emperor ascended the throne, once Enke and once the imperial examination, their predecessors were always particularly unlucky. It doesn’t matter if the rankings are low, it’s just a routine assessment when you don’t know. As for those who are in the top rankings, Enke’s top scholar has been put in remote areas to suppress bandits. Enke’s role model Yun Yuefeng was once stuffed into Fengtian Prefecture and was a sesame official for half a year. Enke’s Tanhua was fine and was thrown into the army as a military advisor. The few people who came out of the imperial examination three years ago were almost the same. Now there are still several people who are struggling to communicate with the uncivilized people in unknown corners or poor places. These are just considered to be the experience of His Majesty’s ministers, but now, if you haven’t passed the palace examination, what is the test of throwing a woman?

As everyone was thinking about breaking their heads, a loud and sharp voice came from the entrance of the hall, "Xuanjin imperial examination candidates meet!"

The group respectfully followed the eunuchs leading the way into the hall. The hall of Qinghe Hall was particularly spacious, with more than 100 candidates on the list and more than a dozen invigilators or officials qualified to watch the hall exams. As soon as they stepped into the hall, they saw the young and handsome emperor on the high hall dressed in black, looking down at the ministers below with a faint expression. They looked at the cold and handsome face of His Majesty the Emperor, who was slightly weaker in his heart.

The audience was weak and wanted to kneel down. Sitting next to His Majesty the Emperor was a beautiful woman in white clothes and smiling. Compared to His Majesty the Emperor's indifference and strength, this one was like a spring breeze that made people feel relieved. Although the people still criticized this female figure, almost all the testimonies could not help but thank Mu Xiang in their hearts. If this person had not eased the atmosphere, would they really have the courage to pick up a pen to participate in the palace examination?

Rong Jin didn't like to talk too much, and glanced at everyone lightly, as if he didn't see the shock and ready-to-move of the ministers below, and said lightly: "Since you've arrived, let's start. This year's policy topic is..."

"Your Majesty, wait!" A voice quickly planned Rong Jin's words. Rong Jin swept over unhappily, and saw one of the officials standing by the side watching the palace examination and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, how can there be a woman in the imperial examination?!"

I knew it would not be so smooth! Jiang Yuyan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Sir, student Jiang Hui, ranks 58th on the list of the current imperial examinations."

"What's going on here?! Daring Jiang Hui, as a woman who doesn't keep her body in her arms, you dare to disturb the imperial examination! It's simply unforgivable!"

Jiang Huilang said, "Sir, which law in the West Vietnamese Vietnam clearly stipulates that women cannot participate in the imperial examination?"

"You are arrogant! Do you need to make any such things?" The adult was so angry that he trembled all over. Since ancient times, only men participated in the imperial examination. This is a regular rule that has been formed since the imperial examination. Even the law only stipulates the origin, household registration, whether they have a criminal record, etc. It is absolutely impossible to take the gender of the imperial examination for the imperial examination.

Jiang Hui said: "The king's law is as great as the heavens. Since the law does not stipulate it, it means that the students' actions do not violate the laws of the Western Yue. Why not?"

"Nonsense! Since ancient times, the male lead is the outside and the female lead is the inside. As a woman, you are not at ease with the room and you are not satisfied with the imperial examinations. You also want to disrupt the imperial examinations and become an official in the court. Such behavior... The hen is in the morning, which is contrary to the laws of heaven, and his heart can be punished!"

Hiss—Everyone took a breath, was this guy crazy?

"Random!" On the main hall, Rong Jin looked gloomy and stared at the ministers underground coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me what you just said!"

The minister who was so angry that he suddenly woke up and couldn't help but tremble. What he said just now was Jiang Hui, the one in front of him, now it sounded more like he was pointing at Mu Xiang! In fact, under the high pressure of Mr. Rong Jiu, the ministers in the Western Yue have rarely been confused in the past two years. Today, he was really shocked by Jiang Hui who suddenly appeared, so he said such words without any thoughts.

With a thud, he knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty forgives your crimes! Mu Xiang forgives your crimes. Old minister... Old minister makes a mistake for a moment. Old minister, old minister has no hint of implying Mu Xiang." Since Rong Jin ascended the throne to Mu Qingyi, Mu Qingyi assisted the government affairs, governed the world, and rectified the administration of the government in recent years. The national strength of Western Yue has been booming. From the position of Prime Minister, Mu Qingyi did impeccable. Even if there are still sour scholars in the people who are dissatisfied with her, it is only because she is a woman. Those who are officials in the court naturally know more about the ability of this female prime minister. To be honest, they think she is not qualified to be prime minister. Apart from those who are depressed and unhappy, they blame others all day long.

Under Mu Qingyi's comfort, Rong Jin snorted lightly and let it go, "What do you guys say?"

The ministers he targeted were in a dilemma for a while. She had never participated in the imperial examination before. Even Mu Xiang had never participated in the imperial examination. Judging from His Majesty's intention, he didn't seem to care. Those who are ministers naturally cannot disobey the emperor's intentions, but once a precedent is set, in the future...

Rong Jin sneered and said, "It seems that they have all objections. So... Jiang Hui is fifty-eight?"

Jiang Yuyan lowered her eyes and said respectfully: "Go back to Your Majesty, that's right."

Rong Jin said: "All fifty-seven people, including Jiang Hui, will be withdrawn. The rest will start the exam."

Such a decisive move made the whole palace dizzy. He cut off most of the rankings on the list in one breath. Before the ministers could react, the candidates waiting for the palace examination could not stand it anymore. "Your Majesty, you have mercy!" Everyone knelt down and pleaded with each other. After ten years of hard work, they finally stood in the Golden Palace and were beaten down. Many people were eager to die.

Rong Jin said coldly: "Since women cannot participate in the imperial examination, even women are inferior to women, they will naturally not be able to enter the court as an official. From the next imperial examination, every time I will choose a woman to take the entrance exam, all those who are below women, regardless of whether they are on the list or not, will be considered as failing the exam."

Now even the Grand Tutor Jiang who had been watching by the side was stunned. He had been unable to speak because of Jiang Yuyan, but he did not expect that His Majesty would support his granddaughter so much. But this... If Jiang Yuyan's identity was spread, the Jiang family would offend many people. Mr. Wei couldn't help but burst out laughing. Mr. Wei was handsome and elegant, and was rich in purple clothes. His sudden smile also attracted everyone's attention. However, Mr. Wei's words were not so pleasant, "What if a woman took the transparent exam?"
