Criticisms come from the belly, the new emperor is a new emperor who understands the situation very clearly.
After following the late emperor to supervise the country for several years and taking the throne for half a year, he was very clear about the problems of civil servants in the court.
The reason why we cannot move is because the relationship between them is so complicated that one move can affect the whole body. The late Emperor has just left, so everything still focuses on safety.
However, a scar is a scar. If you keep covering it up, there will be no other possibility except fester.
Now that King Chen has brought it up, let’s do it!
The new emperor nodded: "Okay, this assessment will be left to King Chen to take full responsibility."
Feng Danyuan stood up and saluted solemnly: "Master, accept the order!"

The God of War always acts vigorously and resolutely.
Three days later, the new emperor announced the civil service examination at the court meeting, which surprised everyone. Isn't it a test every two years? He just took the test last year, why did he need to take an additional test?
When they learned that the examiner was King Chen, the civil officials were even more shocked.
Some pedantic officials immediately stood up and loudly said that it was not appropriate for military attachés to evaluate civilian officials.
The Master Jijiu of the Imperial Academy replied calmly: "Prince Chen is the regent, and he is the most suitable person to evaluate officials. If you are worried about his knowledge, I have only one thing to say, everyone in the court is inferior to him."
New Emperor: "..." Master Jijiu, does the "everyone" you mentioned include me? Give me some face!
Civil servants: "..." It's too shameful, but this is the most knowledgeable Jijiu Master in Kyushu! There is no way to refute.
The military attaches held their heads high and their chests high, and they were all extremely proud: Who said the military attaches were uneducated? Listen to what Master Jijiu said about our boss!
The civil servants stared at the military attachés: Why don’t you take the exam?!
The military attachés spread their hands: Your Majesty didn’t ask us to take the exam!
Civil servants: "..." Why the hell is the regent the head of the military attache!
With the support of the Imperial College's sacrificial wine, the civil service examination was held as scheduled three days later.
The exam made all the officials break into cold sweats.
The content of the exam is all about practical matters and policies, and not a single word of the Four Books and Five Classics that have been on my mind the past few days has been mentioned.
Not to mention that the questions were very tricky, the civil servants paired their answers with each other, and unexpectedly found that the same set of questions for people in the same department but with different positions were not the same!
This——isn’t that regent tired of asking questions?
Nanming, with big dark circles under his eyes, silently asked the sky: Feng Danyuan only wrote the direction and framework of the question, but he came up with most of it, okay?
Just forget about setting the question and ask him to correct it overnight!
He is now just a fifth-rank scholar. Is it appropriate to review the examination papers of second- and third-rank officials in the imperial court?
"It's appropriate." The regent, who was as thick-skinned as a city wall, said, "This will always be the case from now on. You need to get used to it first."
Nan Ming: "..." Can we talk about the future later? He is getting married on the fifth day of February and has a lot to do!
Feng Danyuan: "..." Oh, I forgot about this.
Nanming:What then?
Feng Danyuan: Take the time to review. The results will be available in seven days. I will go back to see the children first.
Nanming: Feng, Dan, Yuan, I really believed in your evil deeds!
On the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon raised his head and the civil servants of the imperial capital came out with their assessment results. The new emperor asked Lu Zheng to report his results in public at the Zichen Hall.
The new emperor was under great pressure, Lu Zheng was under great pressure, and the civil servants were under even greater pressure.
But there is no other way. The Prince Regent is the examiner. He sets the rules, sets the examination questions, and is responsible for examining and reviewing papers.
The new emperor agreed to do this and had no choice but to endure it to the end.
