The Emperor is already annoyed with some people who can jump high even though they have no ability, so he is happy to use this to beat them.
As the saying goes, it is better to choose the day than to hit it, so he directly led the officials to the main hall next door.
As soon as everyone saw the tables in the main hall neatly arranged, they knew that the emperor and Yuan Suijun had been ready and waiting for them.
Really talented people are naturally not afraid of such sudden inspections, but many people have long forgotten the Four Books and Five Classics.
The papers Su Yueling wrote were not only about the Four Books and Five Classics, but also about people's livelihood. Some ministers had been standing in high places for a long time and were far away from the people, so the articles they wrote inevitably brought them out and seemed exaggerated and empty.
After finishing the papers, many ministers broke out in a cold sweat, and their steps looked weak when they left.
The official surnamed Lin is a practical person, and he usually dislikes those sour scholars who talk about etiquette and rules all day long. He deliberately said to Lord Chen: "Master Chen is so talented that he will be among the best in this assessment, right?"
Mr. Chen couldn't even lose his face. He coughed lightly and said, "There are people outside the world. There is a world outside the world. The talents of other adults are better than mine."
He also knew that he was busy with official duties and hadn't reviewed his books for a long time. His answer this time was quite messy. But no matter what, he should be better than those yellow-haired girls in Yaozhou?
He really didn't believe that he would lose to those women.
After Master Lin returned, he said to his only daughter: "Do you have any homework to review these days?"
He only has one daughter, whom he regards as a treasure. He personally educated her daughter when she was young. Ten years ago, he was very active in sending his daughter to a girls' school. And her daughter has lived up to his expectations, and her monthly exam results have always been among the best. Lin
The adults feel that their daughter is ten times better than the sons of other colleagues. If she can pass the imperial examination, she will be the number one scholar.
Miss Lin showed a confident smile and showed her father the strategies she had written these days.
Although some of his ideas were too naive and taken for granted due to his experience, Mr. Lin also saw some remarkable things. He specially circled them, thought about it, and said to his daughter: "Dad will give you a Zhuangzi.
Let me practice my skills with Zhuangzi first. When I have time, I can go to Zhuangzi more and see how the people around me live."
"Maybe your chance is coming."
He sensitively sensed something from the emperor's attitude. Maybe his daughter might actually enter an official career in the future.
…
Contrary to Mr. Lin, Mr. Chen was quite indignant about this matter. After returning home, he saw his daughter reading a book and scolded her so hard that her daughter burst into tears, and then she felt a little relieved.
"Go on down. I can shed tears even if I say a few words to you. You are not as strong as your brother and your brother. Women are weak."
He waved his hand to let his daughter go down, then returned to the study and started reading.
What Mr. Chen didn't expect was that a few days later, he would be caught as a model and his body would be whipped severely.
Although Mr. Chen was not the one with the worst answers on the answer sheet, he jumped the most because he couldn't stand up to the poor ones.
When Su Youning was taking papers, he had already had the papers with the best answers written out and sent to the capital together.
With those papers in front of him, even Mr. Chen couldn't pinch his nose and say that he wrote better than them.
It's just that it's a deep-rooted thing that he looks down on women. For him to admit that he's not as good as them is more uncomfortable than killing him.
Rong Ji asked: "Chen Lei, do you think these women are qualified to become officials?"
Chen Lei opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word. His face turned the color of pig liver.
Yuan Suijun glanced at him, with a look of disgust in his eyes, "If they are not worthy, then Mr. Chen is even less worthy of the black gauze hat on his head."
The ministers who had been the loudest in the past were now as quiet as quails, wishing they were forgotten. They were thankful that Chen Lei's presence in front of them was so strong that he overshadowed them all.
This is called sacrificing Chen Lei to make everyone happy.
Another minister who was initially opposed jumped out and said seriously: "Princess Qionghua is a woman, so the adjutants around her should indeed be women, so as not to offend her."
"Yes, your Majesty is wise, knows people well and is open-minded..." A bunch of praises came out of his mouth.
Other ministers also followed suit and flattered him.
Chen Lei saw his allies rebelling rapidly one by one, and his chest hurt with anger. These spineless people! He was ashamed to be in their company.
Rong Ji spoke calmly, "Chen Lei cannot afford to be a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, so he is now demoted to be the head of the Ministry of Rites."
Chen Lei also said that this was the most devastating thing. It took him a total of twelve years from sixth grade to fifth grade, and now he was back to the starting point.
His face turned pale, and the grief and indignation in his heart could not be expressed in words. If your Majesty is so biased, your country will be destroyed sooner or later. Your Majesty is confused.
With Chen Lei’s experience, the opposition has become much smaller.
Emperor Rong Ji successfully issued an edict and sent it to Yaozhou - and this edict would also plant the seeds of hope in the hearts of capable women in Daxia.
After returning to the mansion in the next court, Yuan Suijun called his confidants and gave them instructions.
Since Yue Ling and You Ning have such ambitions, whether as a husband or as a father, he must clear away the obstacles in front of them.
Soon, storytellers were telling the story of Chen Lei in the streets and alleys of the capital.
"This woman can actually become an official? Oh, the emperor really dares to do this."
"As long as you have ability, why not? How can a truly capable man be afraid of being overpowered by a woman? Only incompetent men will be fearful and uneasy. Such people should not be allowed to occupy high positions." No one wants to admit that he
He had no ability, so everyone criticized Chen Lei for failing to pass the exam to show that he and Chen Lei were not the same person.
In their mouths, Chen Lei became a narrow-minded, jealous person.
In this atmosphere, even those who disagree do not dare to express it, lest they be labeled as afraid of losing to women.
Some keen people began to think about using some family resources to train their daughters. Although so far, only Princess Qionghua has this preferential treatment, but with the opening of the opportunity, I am afraid that there will be more and more female officials in the future. If the girls in the family do well
Be prepared to fight if you don't have enough!
After being demoted, Chen Lei was extremely depressed, so he planned to go to a brothel where he often went to drink to drown his sorrows.
Just when he went out, he heard someone talking loudly in a nearby teahouse.
"So, don't be too Chen Lei in your behavior. You obviously have no ability and are afraid that a woman will take your position, but you still pretend that you are doing it for the sake of righteousness. If he hadn't failed the exam, I would have really believed him."
"The emperor is still too kind to him. Such a person with no talent and virtue should be demoted to a commoner. How come he is left with a place?"
"My uncle's neighbor's niece worked in his house and said that he was not very capable but had a very bad temper. After he failed in the exam, he would take it out on his daughter when he returned home and scolded her for studying too much. How could she still study hard?
Is this a bad thing? If I had money, I would also let my daughter study."
Chen Lei didn't expect that the people in the capital would view him in this way, and that he would actually become the sanctimonious person in their mouths.
He always regarded his reputation as very important, and he was so excited that he fainted.
