When the people from Taixue saw this, they didn't know Chu Xingchen's attitude, so they hurriedly tore up the written notice, and they didn't dare to refuse Zhong Sheng's late admission.
He also hinted that everyone should accept Zhong Sheng’s late admission.
People in Taixue naturally knew what Chu Xingchen said. Some thought deeply about it, while others were still dissatisfied and wanted to drop out of school, but they were quickly stopped.
"You really want to make trouble if you don't take part in the imperial examination and become an official in the court. Can't you see His Majesty's determination?"
Chu Xingchen's response was so crazy that no emperor would do it, but she did it.
"Your Majesty's attitude is courageous and determined, can't you see it? She is not just defending a brothel girl, but also the imperial examination."
"She is warning those aristocratic families and the world again not to stop the imperial examination, let alone to stop women from taking the imperial examination and becoming officials in the court."
"Your Majesty will never back down from this matter."
"All those high-ranking official families ended up like that, let alone you."
"So if you want to destroy your own future, just go ahead and make a fuss."
"If you want to provoke His Majesty to take action against you, those noble families will be your fate. Do you dare?"
It can only be said that Chu Xingchen's move this time shocked many people and they were really afraid of this queen.
There are many smart people, but in the end Taixue became weirdly quiet, and those who had made trouble and wanted to make trouble became quiet.
Soon, the Da Chu Newspaper was also published.
In response to this incident, Dachu Newspaper conducted a detailed report, focusing on issues such as officials engaging in prostitution, sending a signal that Dachu would strictly investigate this issue from now on.
Dachu Newspaper did not say much about the brothel street incident, but other newspapers had long known about Dachu Newspaper and followed suit and reported the brothel incident.
Once again, those high-ranking officials and aristocratic families were whipped to death.
Needless to say, people really love watching these.
As an official newspaper, Dachu Daily naturally cannot do this and simply skip it.
Finally, she came to the issue of late bells. In response to Chu Xingchen's tough attitude this time, she personally wrote a message to the people of Chu.
"The number of people I can see every day is limited, and many talents are buried here. That's why I hope to have a channel like the imperial examination to give all the people of Da Chu a channel to prove themselves."
"I hope that if you are capable, you can directly change your life through this channel without asking for help or being suppressed, and even come to me."
"And I don't have to rely on others. I have to go through all kinds of hardships to see you."
"This is the meaning of the imperial examination."
This is a way that Chu Xingchen gives people a way to rise and change their destiny. This is crucial to the stability of society because it allows people to see hope.
Of course, it is also very important to her.
"I will try my best to ensure that the imperial examination is fair and just, and I will try my best to protect all the people of Chu."
"Today you are rich and powerful, I will protect your due rights. Tomorrow you will be down and out, and you will be humble. As long as you are a common citizen of Chu, I will still protect your due rights."
The Queen's words seemed nondescript to Da Chu, and they seemed so naive and unrealistic.
But although it is unrealistic and nondescript, it still makes people passionate. Everyone wants such a queen who acts with principles and has a warm heart.
If she can even protect the rights of a brothel girl, she can also protect theirs in the future.
After all, it was the brothel girl who suffered today, and next time it might be me.
So even though I knew it was unrealistic, my heart still warmed up when I saw this sentence.
When Zhong Shengwan saw this sentence, his heart felt not hot, but boiling.
It's like being dropped into a frying pan.
Once her identity was exposed, she knew it was over.
When she saw that the matter was so big, she thought that her hopes were dashed, that she might never be able to take the exam again, and that all her hard-earned hopes were in vain.
She thought that the best outcome for her would be to take Xiao Ming away from Feng'an City and live incognito.
But Chu Xingchen refreshed her knowledge once again. She knew that Chu Xingchen was different from ordinary emperors, but she didn't expect to be so different.
When she heard that she could still keep her academic title, continue to take exams, and even go to Imperial College, she thought she was being deceived.
But no, the Dachu newspaper has said otherwise, and the emperor's golden words will never be changed.
When she was humiliated in public and scolded so hard that she couldn't hold her head up, Zhong Shengwan didn't cry. When she was besieged and beaten, she didn't cry either. But when she saw the newspaper, Zhong Shengwan burst into tears.
"I will take the exam well. I will pass the palace examination all the way and be the first brothel girl to pass the palace examination."
She will definitely pass the imperial examination, stand in front of Chu Xingchen, and set an example for all the brothel girls in the world.
She can't be an oiran, but she must be the well-deserved number one in the brothel.
Continue to read the newspaper after the bell rings late.
Zhong Shengwan's identity was exposed, and there was a big fuss over the imperial examination, but her relationship with Zhou Buyan was also the focus of attention.
The relationship between her and Zhou Buyan has been spread to the extent that Xiao Ming is Zhou Buyan's illegitimate son. Naturally, Chu Xingchen cannot let it go and simply admits that they are half-brothers and sisters.
That's why Zhou Buyan helped her redeem her life.
The identities that the brother and sister had worked so hard to hide before were revealed in this way.
Everyone knew that Zhou Buyan was born in a brothel, so it would be normal to have a sister who was born in a brothel.
He simply proved that he did not mess up the harem, nor did he betray Chu Xingchen and give birth to a so-called illegitimate child.
Zhou Buyan's biggest crisis has passed, but his identity as a brothel has once again become the focus of everyone's attention.
I knew it was one thing before, but it was really confirmed that there was even a sister who was born in a brothel, and that sister also had the child of an unknown benefactor.
Although no one dared to say anything too harsh because they were afraid of Zhou Buyan being favored now, they still murmured in their hearts that this status... was too lowly.
When the trouble reached this point, although Zhou Buyan was not demoted or directly executed for this, the Shen family's original goal was still achieved.
After this incident, Chu Xingchen could not easily propose Zhou Buyan as the emperor's wife.
After all, he is the royal husband of a country, and the stakes are very important. Modern ideas are open enough, but even the first ladies will be criticized, let alone in Dachu.
If Chu Xingchen insists on mentioning it, she will get a few words said at most, and Zhou Buyan will probably be branded as a traitor and a monster.
Although Zhou Buyan might not care, she couldn't bear to let him be scolded, as the gain outweighed the loss.
This incident was a disaster that fell from heaven for Zhou Buyan.
Chu Xingchen felt quite uncomfortable.
Because the two of them had not returned to Feng'an City, they had already asked Shadow to investigate the matter thoroughly. They soon found out how this matter happened, and the source was also found - the Shen family.
Or to be more precise, Shen Cangzhu.
All the fingers are pointed at Shen Cangzhu, who first asked people to investigate the late bell.
Then the following series of things happened.
Regardless of whether Shen Cangzhu did it on purpose or not, the final consequence was that Zhou Buyan was once again pushed to the forefront and was almost doomed.
