Chapter 118: The Grassroots Meet His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty

The emperor didn't know why Liu Zhu suddenly mentioned the crown prince.

The imperial examination and official position were clearly a national policy that was beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. Who proposed it and what is the difference?

"When Your Majesty was studying under the old minister, the old minister once asked Your Majesty a question: If you can become an emperor, how can you become a good emperor?"

"Your Majesty's answer to the old minister was to be good at doing good."

"Your Majesty the Emperor and take a look today. All the officials in the court, civil officials and military generals, and even those who are immortal, are kneeling here. Please ask Your Majesty to take back the idea of ​​taking office in the imperial examination."

"Have Your Majesty really done good deeds?" Before the emperor could speak, Du Shangshu slowly stood up and looked at the emperor with disappointment.

The emperor opened his mouth, and he wanted to tell the current thoughts to Du Shangshu and his husband in front of him.

But the emperor knew in his heart that no matter what he said today, they were here to stop themselves and the imperial examinations and officials.

Even if what the emperor said was a scattered person, it would be useless.

"Your Majesty, I, the emperor's uncle, shouldn't have come, but taking the imperial examination and official positions is completely contrary to the laws of our ancestors. The emperor's uncle has no choice but to look at you, you will go astray."

"Don't mention the imperial examination and the officials who have been promoted to the imperial examination and the relevant personnel will also deal with the matter. If you have been removed from the redundant officials and generals, I will also support Your Majesty." The old King of Shu spoke immediately, leaving the emperor unable to find any opportunity to speak.

The King of Shu was even more ruthless and directly asked the emperor to deal with the people who were promoted to the imperial examination and officials.

"Your Majesty, the imperial examination and official position is the root of disaster for the country that cut off our Ming Dynasty. I hope your Majesty will think twice."

"If Your Majesty does not agree to cancel the imperial examination and the official position, I will kneel down and die here."

"Please cancel the imperial examination and take office."

"Cancel the imperial examination and official position."

After the three leaders finished speaking, the officials kneeling behind immediately agreed.

Many people directly knocked their heads to the ground, and even threatened the emperor by kneeling to death here.

When the emperor heard this, he felt his head feel dizzy and he couldn't help but shake.

Liu Xi behind him quickly supported the emperor, his face full of worry.

Liu Xi knew that in this situation, the emperor was completely forced into a desperate situation.

Either turn against all the officials in front of you, or promise them to cancel the imperial examination and take office.

But he turned against more than 80% of the officials, including his elders, a veteran who made great achievements in the Ming Empire.

How did the emperor do it?

Even if they really turn against each other, how will the people in the world view the emperor?

The second prince and the third prince breathed a sigh of relief.

Things have reached this point, and the emperor has no other way except to choose to cancel the imperial examination and take office.

This is the best result they want.

As long as there is no imperial examination, the officials in the court will still be under their control.

And now, they just need to wait for the emperor to bow his head and accept his fate.

"Your Majesty, why don't you still..." Liu Xi saw the emperor's face turned blue and black, worried that the emperor would get angry and had problems, so he thought to persuade the emperor to forget it.

The emperor waved his hand and glanced at the two hundred people in front of him.

Everyone here is fighting for their own interests.

No one is for the country of Ming Dynasty.

The emperor felt extremely disappointed.

Forget it, that's it!

The emperor sighed in his heart, and agreed to cancel the imperial examination and said that he had already reached his mouth, but he saw a huge group of people suddenly walking towards the street in front of him.

Looking around, the twenty-meter-wide street was filled with people walking over.

And at first glance, I couldn't see the end extending there.

Walking in the front were dozens of old men who had already staggered to the point where they were still being helped by someone.

Each of them held a dove stick in his hand.

According to the Ming Dynasty, all elderly people over 80 years old will be given a dove stick.

The elderly can enter and exit the government office with a dove stick, walk on the road, and trade in the market with tax exemptions.

Those who beat and humiliate the elderly with a dove stick are considered as guilty of great rebellion.

If an old man with a stick is beaten, he will be sentenced to beheading and abandoned.

In the entire Ming Dynasty capital, hundreds of thousands of people, only dozens of old people were given a dove stick by the emperor.

But they all seem to be here now.

The emperor knew the old man in front of him even more. He was the oldest man in the Ming Empire and was 113 years old this year.

The emperor from afar saw Chen Changfeng supporting the old man and walking towards him.

Behind the old people were the people of the Ming Dynasty wearing different colors and styles of clothes.

There are women carrying baskets of vegetables, porters carrying poles, private school teachers holding books, and shop owners carrying abacus.

But their purpose at this moment was only one, to walk to the emperor.

"Come, stop them quickly!" The third prince shouted, his face cold.

"Stop!" the emperor scolded.

The third prince's heart sank.

He knew that Chen Changfeng asked Fengxue Bookstore to distribute free booklets with the news of imperial examinations and officials, just to let the people know about this.

But neither the second prince nor the third prince expected that so many people would appear here.

The emperor scolded, and all the imperial guards stopped and stared blankly at the vast crowd walking towards them.

The emperor looked ahead and his tightly clenched fist suddenly relaxed.

"My son pays homage to the father."

"The grass-roots pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."

Chen Changfeng worshiped the emperor, and the vast crowd also knelt on the ground and shouted at the emperor.

The emperor saw many familiar faces in front of the crowd.

Yao Xiaoren, Yao Tangtang, the daughter of Yao Xiaoren.

Crown Princess Tang Xueer.

Liu Miaomiao, the daughter of Liu Shuwen’s family.

And Tang Mingren.

The emperor thought that today's affairs would end successfully with officials forcing the palace to be forced to do so because he had never seen Chen Changfeng.

But at this moment, when the emperor saw the vast people in the capital in front of him, he felt a little warmth in his heart.

This kid Chen Changfeng did not allow his father to be forced by everyone.

The little bastard has been supporting him behind his back.

"Get up quickly, get up quickly!" The emperor took two steps, stepped over the officials kneeling in front of him, and came to the old men.

The emperor glanced at Chen Changfeng and showed an admiring look.

"Your Majesty, I can't wait for it first. Please let Caomin finish his words." The oldest old man waved his hand.

"Come, give me a seat." The emperor shouted again.

Dozens of stools were moved over.

The emperor stood in front of the old man, waiting for his speech.

"Your Majesty, Caomin heard the day before yesterday that our Ming Empire is preparing to carry out imperial examinations, is there any such thing?" The old man spoke, his voice a little hoarse.

"Yes, the Crown Prince and the Minister of Personnel believe that the Ming Dynasty's official selection system cannot adapt to the current situation, so they proposed to me the imperial examination and official positions." The emperor nodded.

"I wonder if the contents of Your Majesty are the same as those distributed for free by Fengxue Bookstore." The old man asked again.

"Same." The emperor nodded. He had also read the free booklets of Fengxue Bookstore, exactly the same as those in his hands.

"Your Highness, please help me, the immortal, to the opposite of them." The old man turned around and looked at Chen Changfeng.

The emperor was stunned and his eyes fell on Chen Changfeng, not knowing what they were going to do.

"Okay." Chen Changfeng nodded and helped the old man walk in front. Someone behind him followed with a stool.
