Wu Nian and the cabinet ministers had long realized that this matter would become serious.

Before releasing the results.

Wu Nian wore formal clothes and sat in the imperial study. The cabinet ministers also gathered together and stood below.

"Your Majesty, the candidates and scholars are dissatisfied with the imperial rankings and are making trouble. Huiyuan Zhang Songshan led a crowd to the Ministry of Rites. He wants to surround the Ministry of Rites."

Chen Jiagui walked in from outside, sweating profusely. As the chief spy of the Imperial City Division, he had never been so panicked when facing the Meng Yuan people.

Scholars are still very valuable.

"Didn't you directly surround the palace?" The cabinet ministers were stunned for a moment, and then they understood. Even if they were scholars who could cause trouble, they would not dare to stroke the king's father's beard.

This palace is not a simple palace, but a sacred place. It is shrouded by the huge prestige of the King of Han, forming something like a protective shield. Scholars do not dare to have ideas about the palace.

He only dared to make a detour to save the country and surrounded the Ministry of Rites.

To put it simply, these scholars have had their brains kicked by donkeys, but they have not completely lost their minds.

This is the founder of the country. In the Chu State, the imperial examination was sacred. If scholars made trouble, even the emperor would apologize.

Maybe a cabinet minister or high-ranking official in the court would take the blame and step down because of it.

Although Wu Nian was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be disappointed and said to Liu Zhixing: "No matter how good these people's articles are, so what?"

After that, he had a murderous look on his face and said to Zhang Haiping: "Master Zhang went to see Wang Gui personally and asked him to send troops to arrest all the scholars who made trouble."

"Yes." Zhang Haiping opened his mouth, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he could only respond, turned around and went down.

"Don't panic. What a shame." Wu Nian raised his head and scolded Chen Jiagui again.

Chen Jiagui smiled bitterly, took a deep breath, and gradually calmed down.

Not long after, an imperial guard came in from the outside. He bent down and saluted Wu Nian and said, "Your Majesty, Shi Xian and other fifteen people gathered outside the palace gate and asked to meet you."

Wu Nian and the cabinet ministers both looked surprised. Wu Nian's eyes flashed and he asked: "Do you have any demands?"

"They believe that the articles they have written do not qualify them to steal high positions. They request to rearrange the rankings." The Ouchi guard bent down and replied.

Wu Nian laughed, glanced at the cabinet ministers proudly, and said: "Look, these are the top picks in the new subjects selected by the few, and the top-ranked Jinshi."

"How courageous are they to dare to go to that unknown place in Sushun?"

"How ambitious are they to ignore the fame they have received?"

"If you only care about the country's life and death, why should you avoid it because of misfortunes and blessings?"

"They are the scholar-officials and the ones who do great things."

"What does it matter if the articles are not well written? Guan Zhong, Le Yi, Xiao He, Zhuge Liang and others can't write articles as well as Sima Xiangru and Sima Qian. But they are the pillars of the country."

After that, Wu Nian stood up and said to Cui Wushuang: "I won't see them anymore. Mr. Cui, you go out of the palace to see them and tell them to feel at ease. If I are here, the country will not be in chaos."

"When the storm subsides, let them ride on horseback and parade through the streets."

"Yes." Cui Wushuang responded, turned around and left in a hurry.

Liu Zhixing and Li Yong looked at each other. Although His Majesty took a wrong approach in this imperial examination, the results achieved were indeed amazing.

These fifteen people are truly talented people.

Gongsun Sang clasped his fists and bent down, saying to Wu Nian: "Your Majesty, Sheng Ming."

He was delighted in his heart. Your Majesty was right. I am also a scholar and I am not good at writing articles, but I am a cabinet minister.

One of the top five civil servants in the entire Han Dynasty.

Don’t talk about heroes based on articles.

Hum hum.

Everyone in the imperial study room thought that this was the end of the matter. The imperial court had sent troops to arrest him, how could he still suppress it?

It's time to arrest, it's time to disperse.

This incident caused a stir, but the king of Han was able to suppress it easily.

However, problems soon arose.

An imperial guard broke in from the outside and said with a panicked expression: "Your Majesty, students from the Imperial College and Sunzi Prison rioted. When they heard that the candidates were making trouble, they spontaneously organized themselves and went to stop them. The two sides fought near the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

Get up."

"A large number of candidates and scholars were injured."

"The adults in the Imperial College and Sunzi Prison did not stop the students and were asking for forgiveness outside."

"What did you say?" Wu Nian stood up and said in a low voice. This matter was completely beyond his expectation.

It is expected that candidates will cause trouble.

Students from Sunzi Jian and Guozijian went to stop the candidates and scholars.

Although the students of Imperial College and Sun Zi Jian are all scholars. Among them, Imperial College is more traditional, and Sun Zi Jian is a martial arts school, training military generals and officers, but they also study.

But even the students of Sunzi Jian, the teaching materials they are exposed to and the education they receive are different from traditional scholars. They care more about the country, are more passionate, and have more drive.

He is a true disciple of the Emperor.

An extension of Wu Nian's will.

This time, the students of the Imperial College also competed with many other scholars to compete for the places to be elected candidates in the Yingqing Mansion. Some people also took part in the joint and imperial examinations after becoming candidates.

Three of them were among the fifteen.

Wu Nian first screamed, then with a smile on his face, he said to everyone who was also stunned: "Wherever I need to take action, my students will settle the matter."

"Immediately send an order to Wang Gui to rescue people. The students in Sun Tzu's prison are all martial arts students. The attack was either light or heavy, and the two sides started fighting. The examinees and scholars who caused the trouble may be missing arms or legs."

"Yes." Gongsun Sang looked left and right, and found that apart from the first assistant and the second assistant, he was the only one left, so he responded and went down to do errands.

"Let the officials from the Imperial College and Sunzi Prison go back. There is no need to plead guilty, they are not wrong. It is normal for high-spirited students to lose control when things happen suddenly."

Wu Nian waved his hand and said to the Ouchi guards who came in.

"Yes." The Ouchi guard responded, turned and left.

Wu Nian breathed out and sat back. Looking at Li Yong with a smile, Liu Zhixing said: "The state's opening of subjects to recruit scholars must continue."

"But the students in the Imperial College are all so ambitious. I can't treat them badly."

"We will select outstanding students from the Imperial College as appropriate and serve as officials. There is no need to worry about whether they came from the imperial examination or not. As long as they do well, they will be promoted."

"A man doesn't ask where he comes from, as long as he has talent. I'm going to offend people, but it's true. You Liu Zhixing, Mr. Liu, is a person who has the ability to take the imperial examination. Your articles are very beautiful."

"But what about the others? Li Yong, Gongsun Sang, Zhang Haiping and the six officials of our dynasty, which one has a serious imperial examination background? Didn't he help the few to hold up the scene and establish the court?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

After saying that, Wu Nian burst out laughing, which was such an unexpected surprise.
