The capital quickly stabilized, and then it cleaned up the outside of the capital.

During this period, the verification and declaration of the collusion between the Xie family and the people of Xiliang, as well as some secret matters with the Wei family and other families.

Several of the Xie family's heads were imprisoned, and their property was confiscated. The Xie family's clan members dispersed, relied on relatives and friends, or changed their names and surnames.

The Liang father and son were demoted to labor service in the border counties again. The crimes about how the Liang father and son became rewarded and how Shipo City was compromised were also announced to the world, attracting a lot of curse.

However, other members of the Liang family who had not worked in the border counties were not extended for their sentences, and they were freed from their crimes and made a stable living.

By the autumn of the following year, when Xiao Yu took power, the peace of the Xia Dynasty was restored.

Xiao Yu took power, and for the officials of the court, there seemed to be no difference.

The queen still sat behind the emperor.

There is also a difference. Without Deng Yi and Xie Yanfang, more than half of the officials in the court were cleaned up, and no one was in charge. The queen seemed to have no rivals in dispute and almost didn't speak much.

The emperor became the person who talked the most in the court.

The thirteen-year-old boy has not spoken for so many years, and he has not had any youth when he opens his mouth to discuss the affairs of the court.

After all, I have been sitting in the court for seven years and have been carefully reading the memorials for seven years. Although I seem to be watching, I have actually been involved in it.

Xiao Yu felt that his life had not changed. The time he used to take classes was replaced by court affairs, and he was still busy in the study.

After reading and discussing, he will bring the memorial to the Queen's Palace.

The guards, eunuchs and palace maids outside the queen's palace saw him saluting, and reported them in layer by layer. When Xiao Yu walked in, Chu Zhao was already standing at the door to greet him.

Today, Chu Zhao did not wear a queen's dress, only wore a homely green dress, rolled up his sleeves, and held an arrow in his hand.

"Sister." Xiao Yu called happily.

Chu Zhao waved and smiled, "I'm throwing a pot, you can also compare with me."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Okay." He said, "But sister, you have to read the memorial first."

Chu Zhao glanced at the eunuchs holding the memorial behind him, and waved his hand: "Put it in first."

The eunuchs respectfully brought the memorial to the queen's study.

Chu Zhao and Xiao Yu played several games with the palace maids and eunuchs. The emperor and the empress each had their own winning or losing, and then had dinner together. After Chu Zhao sat down and started reading the memorial. After reading Xiao Yu's comments, he took the jade seal and knocked it on it.

Although the emperor took power, the jade seal was still in the hands of the queen.

Xiao Yu had no objection at all, and read a book aside, occasionally answering Chu Zhao's inquiries. This was his favorite evening time.

"The scientific examination should be started next year, and now it should be prepared." Chu Zhao said after reading today's memorial.

Xiao Yu put down the book and said, "I have ordered the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel to prepare for the exams from the local area to the capital, and strive to not miss any aspiring and knowledgeable person."

Chu Zhao said: "I have another idea about the scientific examination."

......

......

"Have you heard that? The scientific examination is about to be held."

"I've heard of it a long time ago. Your Majesty's new policy was abolished and recommended, and it will attract all the aspiring talents in the world."

"No, besides Your Majesty, the Empress also has to take the imperial examination, and the one who takes the exam is a woman."

"Women! What are women doing for the examinations of the science of the women? Do you also have to be an official!"

The dynasty now has a guard guard. It will not be spread throughout the world if the emperor sneezes a few times when he went to court like before. But if the news comes out, it will definitely be sure.

Although this news sounds ridiculous and unprecedented, if it were the Queen's proposal, it would have to be true.

What the queen has to do is always do what she says and does what she does.

The people were in a state of excitement and were talking about this matter everywhere, and all kinds of ruthless words were indispensable. Although the queen has always been domineering and terrifying, the differences between men and women in yin and yang are subverting ethics. Many scholars are very angry, which is unbearable. Some people even ran to the door of the government to scold loudly, holding the purpose of sacrificing themselves to wake up the world.

But neither the government nor the private guards of the Longyiwei of the Guards, they did not arrest anyone openly or secretly.

The government even summoned these protesters and suggested to them: "It's useless to tell us that this is all decided from top to bottom. It's better to do this. You can take the exam with peace of mind. When you get to the capital and the queen, you will talk to her generously, so that she can change her mind and return to the right path."

It sounds very good, but some scholars think it is not right. What if they can't take the exam?

"If you can't take the exam, just study hard. If you haven't read the sages clearly, what's the way!" The government also said bluntly, "Let's cultivate yourself first and then manage the family and govern the country!"

The women who received the news were also surprised.

This time, there were more people coming to the Queen's Palace banquet than at other times, and there were many familiar and unfamiliar faces running from other places.

Many of them are familiar with Chu Zhao’s former playmates, but they are unfamiliar with each other. They have been together for a long time and have not seen each other over the years.

"Your Highness, do you really want us to take the exam?" A woman asked straight to the point, "If you pass the exam, you can really become an official? Just like my father, wear court uniforms, ride horses, go to the government office, or even come to court?"

A woman next to her couldn't help but mutter, "Qi Leyunyi's father is not qualified to go to court."

The other women all started to laugh.

Chu Zhao also smiled, looking at Qi Leyun, who was already dressed as a woman, his eyebrows, eyes and temper were still as a girl.

"It's a real test. I have to compete with the men, just like our Chuyuan Literature Association in the past." Chu Zhao said with a smile.

When it comes to the Chuyuan Cultural Fair, the women around here are excited.

It has been more than seven years since we got married and had children. The past has been blurred. Sometimes we don’t even know if things happened in our girls’ time.

At this time, when I heard the queen mention it, my memory was clear in an instant. If it was a dream, it was the most beautiful dream in their lives and I couldn't bear to forget it.

"This time, we are not competing in a small garden, but competing in front of the world."

Chu Zhao continued, raising his eyebrows at Qi Leyun.

"Are you afraid?"

Qi Leyun said, "When did I, Qi Leyun, have I been afraid of it!" As he said, looking at Chu Zhao, "I, I dared to bully you at that time."

The women were amused again, some slapped her, and some oh.

Qi Leyun was also a little embarrassed, subconsciously trying to find her mother, but she thought that she was also a mother, and her mother was no longer with her.

Chu Zhao snorted: "Qi Leyun, you are quite proud to bully people."

The woman in the queen's dress looked angry, but Qi Leyun didn't feel scared, but couldn't help laughing.

Chu Zhao, it wasn't that fierce at the beginning, and it didn't change at all.

"Don't be angry, I won't bully people later." Qi Leyun said with a smile.

"I don't think you dare." Chu Zhao smiled, with a little smugness, "I suffered a great loss because of bullying me, and I learned a lesson."

Qi Leyun's face turned red with a smile.

The other women laughed.

"After passing the exam, you can really become an official. If you have official uniforms, you can ride a horse and go to the government office." Chu Zhao continued, smiling slightly, "As for whether you can do what your father, brother and husband cannot do, it depends on your own ability."

It was true, and the women were excited.

"I just said it was true." Chu Tang said, holding a teacup beside him, "I am a princess after all, why don't you believe me if I said it."

"You are the princess, but you haven't become an official." Qi Leyun said, "Of course we don't believe you."

Chu Tang put the teacup heavily on the table: "Okay, after this time, you will be able to see my official power in the future."

Qi Leyun laughed: "Atang, can you do it? You should be a princess with peace of mind."

Listening to their laughter, the woman who had been standing behind quietly walked forward.

"Is the women's scientific examination also selected from bottom to top like a man?" she asked.

When a woman saw her, she couldn't help but say, "Zhou Jiang, you will come to take the exam."

She still remembered that Zhou Jiang was originally quiet and didn't like to fight, but it was not until the Chuyuan Wenhui that she revealed her nature - she is worthy of being a person who likes to play chess and loves to compete for winning or losing the most.

Zhou Jiang frowned and said, "I didn't care at first, but my grandfather wanted me to come to the capital to be an official and let me bring my husband to work with him. In this way, I will give me the chess record he passed down from home."

It turned out that it was for the chess record, and the women laughed again, worthy of being Zhou Jiang.

Chu Zhao also smiled and said, "Because this is the first time, there will definitely not be many people participating, so he only conducted a big test in the capital. He passed the exam and was only for the Hanlin officials. He would not be able to do everything like a man."

Speaking of this, I looked at everyone again.

"This is just the beginning, the purpose is to make everyone accept it."

"As long as you accept it, you can do more step by step."

"When the women become officials, they can promote girls' schools everywhere."

"Let the world know that reading and learning skills can also become the foundation for women to settle down."

"This way, more women will come to take the imperial examination and become officials. With more people, there will be more opportunities and more attempts."

She said this and smiled slightly.

"So what will happen in the future is here."

Qi Leyun reached out and pressed his heart, murmured: "Is it so important? I can actually decide what I will do in the future and take on this important task."
