Chapter 135
Lin Yuxiu glanced briefly at Chen Yuansi, lowered his eyebrows, and replied, "The student has studied under Mr. Wang Lisong since he was a child. At the end of the first year of Suihe, Mr. Wang assisted Taiqing Pavilion in compiling a book "Shunping Zuoshu Ji", which sorted out Shunping's works. During the year, there were [-] classic memoirs. After the publication of "Shunping Zoushu Ji", it was distributed in all colleges and universities in Shengjing. In seven years, Yingzhou."

Chen Yuansi paused, and asked Lu Yanchen on the side: "Bachelor Lu, has Taiqing Pavilion published such a book?"

"Back to Mr. Chen Ge, this book was compiled by the Taiqing Pavilion when the late Emperor was alive, and it was indeed published in the first year and the first year of the year." Lu Yanchen replied.

Chen Yuansi frowned, his face was already wrinkled, and this wrinkle made him even more troubled.

He was silent for a while, and said to Ye Qinghuai: "Your Majesty, this book involves the political secrets of our dynasty. The old minister please stop publishing it, and take everything that has been published back to the warehouse."

Ye Qinghuai did not answer him immediately, but looked at the deputy examiners on the left and right, and asked, "What's your opinion?"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Chen Ge, the first emperor once issued an order that after the compilation of "Shunping Zoushu Ji" is completed, it will be published and distributed to literary schools and major libraries. The late emperor also requested that the content be included in the curriculum of literary schools. During the period, if we do this, I'm afraid it will violate the late emperor's last wish and be considered unfilial." Lu Yanchen answered first.

"If this book really involves the secrets of the cabinet, it is a major issue for the community, and naturally it is more important than filial piety." Gu Shihai retorted, "It's just that we haven't read this book, so it's inconvenient to make a conclusion right now. According to what I see, we should check it first. It is up to the cabinet to decide how to deal with it."

Ye Qinghuai nodded and said: "Old Gu Ge is right. How about it, Mr. Lu, tomorrow morning I will send you a few copies of "Shun Ping Zou Shu Ji" to the cabinet. After reading it, several cabinet elders will come up with an idea. Let me make a discount."

"The humble minister leads the decree." Lu Yanchen replied.

Seeing that the others had no objection, Ye Qinghuai turned his gaze back to Lin Yuxiu.

Her expression sank, and she said: "Lin Sheng's strategy is deafening, and I have sympathy for it." Speaking of this, Ye Qinghuai sighed, paused, and said, "Your talent and learning, I have sympathy for you." I already know it in my heart. You go down and write your correct words today into an article in the side hall, and submit it up, and I want to have a look again."

Lin Yuxiu thanked Shengen and left the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Ye Qinghuai closed her eyes, rubbed her forehead, and said, "Li Baoquan, pass on the next one."

"Your Majesty, Lin Yuxiu's score..." the official of the Ministry of Rites who was in charge of recording asked in a low voice.

Ye Qinghuai didn't open his eyes, and said: "Let's leave it empty for now. The next one will go to the hall."

The following palace examinations for Gongsheng went very smoothly, and the questions Ye Qinghuai asked were not difficult, and most of the Gongsheng students were able to answer them smoothly.

The Gongsheng students who took the palace examination behind Lin Yuxiu had a consensus.

The emperor is in a bad mood today.

Because Ye Qinghuai was unsmiling throughout the whole process, and she didn't talk much, and she was quite preoccupied.

Until it was time to light the lanterns, today's palace examination was successfully concluded.

There are only a few examiners and serving officials and eunuchs left in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Your Majesty, all the tribute students who took the exam have gone back to the tribute courtyard." Li Baoquan reported to Ye Qinghuaihui.

Ye Qinghuai recovered from her contemplation and asked, "Did Lin Yuxiu hand in that article?"

Li Baoquan paused, and said: "Old slave, I'll go and ask."

After he left, the officials of the Ministry of Rites handed over the recorded palace examination list and results to Ye Qinghuai.

Ye Qinghuai read it carefully, nodded, and said, "Let's show it to the adults."

Then she said to the ministers on the left and right sides: "Let's take a look, if there is no objection, the Ministry of Rites will draw up the first, second and third best according to the above rankings."

"Your Majesty, are you going to make a list today?" Wen Xinzhong, who is the Minister of Rites, smelled "overtime" from Ye Qinghuai's words, so he tested the emperor's tone.

Ye Qinghuai heard the meaning of his words, and she glanced at several cabinet ministers.These five people are nearly [-] years old together. They entered the palace today before dawn and followed the emperor in the Hall of Supreme Harmony until it was completely dark. They only rested for a quarter of an hour. After a simple lunch, everyone was exhausted at this time.

Ye Qinghuai sighed softly, smiled gently at everyone, and said: "You guys have worked hard today. This time, Chunwei wasted too much time because of Shi Taiping's affairs. Now all departments are short of people, and they are waiting for this list. People use it. How about this, Zhu Qing checked the list today, and tomorrow the Ministry of Rites will draw up the list and submit it."

Wen Xinzhong breathed a sigh of relief.

If the emperor told him to release the list tomorrow, then the Ministry of Rites and the Taiqing Pavilion would not be able to sleep from top to bottom today.

At this time, Li Baoquan came back, holding a manuscript in his hand.

"Return to Your Majesty, Lin Gongsheng's essay has been finished, and the servant brought it from the Taiqing Pavilion." After speaking, he stepped up the jade steps and put the manuscript in his hand on the dragon case.

The hall suddenly fell silent again, and everyone was staring at the manuscript.

In order to ease the tense atmosphere in the hall, Ye Qinghuai smiled, and winked at the official of the Ministry of Rites who was holding the list of achievements, and the man immediately handed the list to the table in front of several cabinet ministers.

"Please check this list first. As for Lin Yuxiu, his grades are not yet on the list, and I will make a judgment after I finish reading this article."

After Ye Qinghuai finished speaking, she lowered her head and read the article.

The hall was brightly lit, and there was only the sound of flipping through papers.

In the article, Lin Yuxiu not only listed the three strategies in his speech at the palace, but also stated in detail how to implement them step by step, from how the country’s long-standing evils originated, to the hidden dangers of the current court situation, and how to implement the ZTE strategy. Even neat, eloquent, in one go.

Ye Qinghuai read this thousand-word article five or six times.

Every time she read it, she felt like an alarm bell ringing in her ears, like Mount Tai pressing on her shoulders, like a flood suffocating.

She suddenly felt that what was written in this article might be the real reason for the demise of Dajing in her previous life.

And she replaced the title of prince with a woman's body, and the matter of the rooster sitting in the morning was revealed, but it only accelerated the process.

For the first time, Ye Qinghuai truly realized that even if she did not replace her twin brother's name, but was the real fourth prince, she might not be able to prevent Dajing's demise.

Dajing died in this decadent and rigid mechanism, in the greed of thousands of officials, and in the despair and anger of the people all over the world.

She sighed, leaned back, sat on the dragon chair and fell silent while reading the article.

After about a quarter of an hour, she made a decision.

"Masters, I want to hand-pick Lin Yuxiu as the number one scholar in this subject."
