Chu Tianxiu bowed to the officials and the scholars and took the carriage on the Pingwang Mansion.

He sat in the carriage with a pale complexion and was almost exhausted.

The imperial examination for the Great Chu was finally completed. Although I gave more Confucian exams, I finally got this big thing done.

However, his feet were still weak.

The emperor actually said, "I don't think you are stupid!"... This is not a casual word, but a reminder that he is too high-profile and needs to be kept low and restrained.

How could Chu Tianxiu not be frightened?

He had previously brought down Xie Huyong, the leader of the noble clan, to suppress the conservative factions and promote the new court policies.

Now he has stepped on Kong Hanyou, the leader of the Confucian school, and suppressed the impulse of Confucianism to be the only one.

Isn’t this all for the Great Chu Dynasty?

Emperor Xiang Yanran was still suspicious and said, "You are not too stupid even if you look at me."

Emperor Taizu appointed Chu's "Marquis of Hun" as a matter of being Hun.

Hunting Hou, if he doesn’t faint, what does this mean?

It’s too difficult for him to be a little confused man!

Not only should we deal with the nobles and Confucians, but we should also make the emperor not suspicious of him.

In the carriage, Li Yu, Zuer and Di'er had been waiting for a long time.

"Husband, why is his face so bad?"

Li Yu was shocked when he saw his face pale.

"Madam! What if the emperor suddenly becomes murderous to me one day?"

Chu Tianxiu said bitterly.

"No, you are filial to Empress Dowager Shen and loyal to the emperor. How can the emperor kill you?"

Li Yu was stunned for a moment and said in surprise.

"Naturally not now."

Chu Tianxiu sighed, "But if the emperor is about to die one day, he will definitely eradicate all hidden dangers for the sake of the crown prince Xiang Tiange's ability to sit firmly in the world. Those princes... and I, Xiaohunhou!"

He has read too many such things in history books.

The emperor was suspicious, and this has been the case since ancient times.

I am most afraid that others will steal the throne.

Before their death, those emperors often killed the queen mother, relatives, meritorious officials, and powerful officials, paving the way for the prince to ascend the throne.

From the royal standpoint, there is nothing wrong with this. Only by killing these relatives, powerful ministers, and the crown prince’s throne can they sit firmly and the world can be peaceful.

But who knows whether the emperor would think that his little humble marquis is still threatening.

"I don't care who the emperor killed. But if he killed his husband, I will rebel against him! My father has sacrificed his three sons for the Xiang family, and the Li family is worthy of their Xiang family.

In the future, our son will inherit the family business of the Pingwang Mansion! This is what he owes me to the Li family. If the emperor wants to kill you, we will rebel!"

Li Yu's beautiful eyes showed a resolute look.

Her eyes softened again, "But you don't need to worry too much. Since the emperor has not killed you before and has asked you to marry into the Pingwang Mansion, it means that he has given up the idea of ​​killing you! If you want to kill you in the future... he just wants to do something with the Pingwang Mansion. This possibility is still very small."

"Madam!"

Chu Tianxiu held Li Yu's jade hand and was moved.

Rebellion or something.

He didn't think so.

The Emperor of Great Chu looked majestic, but the burden of tens of millions of people in the world was pressed on his body by millions of kilometers of territory of Great Chu.

Every morning before dawn, I go to review the memorials at a few hours.

Perhaps, there are brothers who turn against each other and become enemies, princes rebel, and traitors and rebels wander around. After six emperors were replaced in the sixty or seventy years of the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty, six emperors were replaced, and most of them had short lives.

Being an emperor is too tiring!

It was already very pleasant for him to travel through time to become a little Hunhou. Although he married into the Pingwang Mansion, he was not unhappy now. He was free to make paper and make some gunpowder.

This day is free and comfortable.

Why bother to rebel and force yourself to deal with the government day and night?

As long as the emperor does not have the intention to kill him, he will not do anything to rebel.

However, it is still necessary to prevent it first.

In the court, he tried to intervene as little as possible in the future between the Confucian faction and the nobles.

After finishing this imperial examination, I will continue to be my little marquis and the magistrate of Danyang County.

The emperor of the province was always worried that he would not be stupid enough.

...

The first round of county examinations of the Great Chu Dynasty was completed.

Chu Tianxiu returned to Yuyuan, took a break, and continued to prepare for the imperial examination, focusing on the third round of national examination questions.

Half a month later, the county examination was held, and a group of scholars were selected from the children of each county.

This second round of county examination was presided over by the prefects of each county.

The second round of county examinations in Jinling City was hosted by the prefect Wang Xu.

In order to avoid suspicion and avoid leaking the national examination questions in advance, Chu Tianxiu rarely stepped out of the Prince Ping's Mansion.

The second round of county test papers is actually not too difficult. Apart from reading a lot of books, some reading comprehension has been added, and there is not much surprise.

A group of children who are at the top of the county exam can easily pass the county exam and become scholars.

Among the 1,000 children in Jinling City, the 200 scholars with the highest score were finally selected.

In each county of Dachu, more than ten scholars were born in each county.

The strength gap between the county and the imperial capital Jinling City is obviously extremely huge.

Jinling City gathers ten major clans, high-ranking officials, nobles, wealthy businessmen in the world, and the most scholars in the world, far beyond the comparison of counties.

Finally, the third round of national examinations, which was highly anticipated by the entire Great Chu Dynasty.

More than a thousand scholars selected from hundreds of counties in the Great Chu, they all took carriages sent by the government from various counties and governments to escort to Jinling City, stayed at various inns in Jinling City, preparing to participate in the national examination.

These scholars are the best among scholars in the entire Great Chu Dynasty. They have read the most books and the most talented. If you choose any one, they are all top characters in the county.

But it’s useless to pass the scholar exam.

The previous two rounds of county examination and county examination are just screening and eliminating those who are not qualified. These two rounds are not the key.

The real selection exam is in the "national examination" and the "palace examination".

He must squeeze into the top 200 in the national examination and win the "Juvenile" to become an official, and serve as a county magistrate, a commander, a commander, etc. in local counties and central courts.

Only those who are juren are qualified to enter the palace examination, and only those who pass the imperial examination can become officials, become county magistrates, and govern the area.

Five to ten days before the Great Chu State Examination.

All the inns in Jinling City are already full of check-in, all of which are the top scholars from Da Chu.

In Hongmen Inn, the lights are brightly lit.

All night long.

These thousands of scholars talked at night, excitedly discussing their skills, talking about Xiao Hunhou's "Story of the Stone", and talking about the upcoming third round of "national examinations".

The most popular game for scholars is undoubtedly various bets, guessing questions, and betting on what test questions Xiaohunhou might have.

National Examination.

The examiner is the "Xiao Hunhou" and takes the exam personally.

Two hundred juren will be selected from among the thousands of scholars.

Xiaohunhou personally served as the chief examiner. As a new generation of "principal of literature", the national examination questions given are definitely much more difficult than county examinations and county examinations.

But the scholars obviously have no way to speculate how difficult the national examination is.

The test papers for the third round of national examinations were not visible to both Prime Minister Kong Hanyou, Censor Wang Su, and the two deputy examiners.

The printing factory responsible for printing test papers has long been surrounded by a group of guards from the Pingwang Mansion, and even mice cannot enter and exit.
