Royal Palace.

Political Affairs Hall.

The former Political Affairs Hall is where the cabinet is now.

It is a large-scale courtyard building, and the main courtyard is the official office of Wen Zhuoyu, the chief minister of the cabinet.

The West Courtyard is the Shangshu Province, and the East Courtyard is the yamen of the Menxia Province and the Central Secretariat.

Nian Chengfeng sat in the Secretariat yamen, put down the pen in his hand, put his frozen hands on the charcoal fire next to him and roasted them. Then he stood up, beat his sore waist, and said to the Imperial College Winery sitting beside him:

"Tai Academy Masahira Manting left Kyoto, but the autumn examination next year cannot be delayed by him!"

"This matter is imminent, the three provinces have discussed and approved it, and the Prime Minister has signed the decision."

"The Regent said before he left that the imperial examination was the top priority of the country!"

"We must achieve true openness, fairness and justice!"

"So from now on, the original recommendation system will be completely banned!"

"All students have passed the scientific examination and entered the government uniformly, so this decision has to be sent to various places now. After all, students from remote areas of Ningguo need to go a long way to come to Kyoto."

"The location of the autumn examination next year, the Regent has set up a Changle Palace... It is a good place, with many empty houses available for students to live in, but the tribute school still needs to be re-planned... Huang Shangshu of the Ministry of Works has gone to Changle Palace, so you don't have to worry about anything."

"As for the questions of the scientific examination, the Regent ordered one question, and the rest of the questions will still be drawn up by your Imperial College. Next year, the people who set the questions will all go to Changle Palace. The Regent said that it is of great importance and that such major mistakes in the leak of the exam questions will never be allowed."

"What else do you have?"

Zhuang bowed and bowed: "The official has understood the meaning of the Lord and the Regent, but... the choice of the person who made this proposition was the emperor's choice in the past. If the emperor was not in the palace, he would have been appointed by Ji Tai. Now...?"

"This matter is, after the beginning of the year, the Minister of State Council will draw up the topic. Now you will first pass on the autumn examination next year to the local academies, so that students from the local academies will know, so that they can leave for Kyoto as soon as possible."

"Okay, please accept the order!"

Zhuang bowed and said, "When Zhuang left, a little eunuch hurried in."

He came to Nian Chengfeng and bowed and said, "Sir Nian, there is an old man named Qian Guodong outside asking for a meeting, saying that he had something important to report to the Lord in person!"

Nian Chengfeng was stunned, "Please come in!"

"Slave obeys the order!"

After a moment, Qian Guodong came to the yamen of the Secretariat. He looked at Nian Chengfeng and grinned, bowed and said:

"Young master is getting stronger!"

Nian Chengfeng raised his hands, "You old guy, life is comfortable!"

"Hehe, this is your fault with your ability. I also want to use my remaining energy for a while, but the Regent doesn't look down on you!"

Nian Chengfeng glared at the old eyes, "Don't say this, there are still some vacant positions in the court. By the way, why don't you continue to go to the Ministry of Justice? Wen's Chief Minister is worried about those who cannot find ideals for improving the constitution!"

"It's you!"

Nian Chengfeng pointed, "You old guy stayed in the Ministry of Justice for twenty years and in Dali Temple for more than ten years. He is proficient in the law. I guess no one in the court can get your right!"

Qian Guodong was stunned.

His heart suddenly beating a little fiercely!

But he quickly calmed down and his face became serious: "But I didn't come to see you for this!"

"Why is that?"

"You have heard the rumors about the Regent and Xi Wei's daughter recently?"

Nian Chengfeng frowned and pondered for a moment, then reached out and pointed: "Come on, sit down!"

The two sat in front of the tea table.

Nian Chengfeng cooked a pot of tea and nodded, "This rumor happened a few days ago. Wen's chief minister suggested that the Regent send the Imperial City Department to find the person who spread the rumors... but the Regent didn't care at all."

Qian Guodong leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Then, is this true or false?"

"It's true!"

Qian Guodong was shocked and heard Nian Chengfeng say again: "There is indeed a girl around the Regent, and she is indeed Xi Wei's daughter. This is true."

"But rumor that the Regent and Xi Wei conspired to steal the country... This is nonsense!"

"Xi Wei is dead!"

"Everyone knows that the Regent did not ascend the throne as emperor."

"Now he has proposed that the state governance has changed from rule of man to rule of law, and he advocates putting imperial power under the law... Think about it, if he was to steal the country, what he needed was the supreme authority, how could he let this power be bound?"

Nian Chengfeng poured a cup of tea for Qian Guodong and said, "Too many people don't know him very much. In fact, I didn't know him before this."

"I didn't plan to become an official at this age. I originally recommended Wen Zhuoyu to him."

"But these days, I accompanied Wen Zhuoyu to listen to him talk about his thoughts on governing the country for several days... I admit that he is the lamp of Ningguo!"

"So my heart is also active. I hope I can do my best to realize these ideals. In fact, I also have the selfishness in my heart!"

"Old money!"

Nian Chengfeng said earnestly: "This is a earth-shaking change!"

"Once we succeed... those who participate in this change may be famous in history and remember forever!"

"When people live, they reach our age, aren't they just a name?"

"If you can make some contribution to the amendment of the Constitution, your name will be passed down through the ages!"

Qian Guodong was heartbroken.

"This... I have to ask you to recommend it to Chief Wen later!"

"Let's go now!"

"Wait a minute, I still feel that rumors in the market need to be paid attention to!"

Qian Guodong stretched out his finger and knocked on the table: "Old man, think about it, there will be no wind and waves!"

"I think this is a huge hidden danger that cannot be ignored!"

"The people do not know that these actions of the Regent were for Ningguo's great cause. They are not educated and will be easily incited!"

"Besides, they have a very strong concept of the king in their bones. This is a deeply rooted concept that has been passed down for thousands of years!"

"Although Xi Wei is dead, Xi Wei's reputation is extremely bad among the people!"

"Now his daughter is around the Regent. It is said that... it is said that the relationship is still very close. Let's not talk about how the people will view the Regent. What I am worried about is that people with ulterior motives will use this rumor!"

"For example... a mutiny on the grounds of Guangfuning Room!"

"For example... people in the world were instigated by him and launched an assassination of the Regent!"

"The Regent did not live in the palace. He lived in Meiyuan. Although Meiyuan is not far from the palace, this is the most dangerous section of the road!"

"I suggest that the Regent draw a clear line with the daughter of Xi Wei... let the Regent move to the palace!"

Nian Chengfeng's face also became serious, "This boundary is probably difficult to draw. In addition... the Regent has left Kyoto!"

"What?!"

Qian Guodong was immediately anxious:

"He is the Regent! How could he leave Kyoto easily!"

"Isn't this a risk on your own?!"

Nian Chengfeng spread his hands and said helplessly: "Because he is the Regent, we can't control him!"

"Let's go, I'll take you to see Wen Zhuoyu, and then I'll go to the Imperial City Division to find Wang Zheng, the deputy chief of the Imperial City Division."

"It would be better if the Imperial City Department handled this matter!"

The two went to the main courtyard.

At this moment, Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong were digging out a pitch-black wooden box from under the crooked tree.

He carefully opened the wooden box.
