Chen An had already walked out with Duan Chi and was about to take Xie Huayu, Xing'er and the others away.

suddenly!

Chen An turned his head and looked at the boy who was pale and seemed very weak.

Suddenly I thought that this boy seemed to have taken a fancy to Xing'er.

I don't know why, but I still feel unhappy, as if... this guy is trying to steal his girl.

Chen An walked over and asked, "You saved my maid before, what reward do you want?"

Chen An simply revealed his identity and his relationship with Xing'er, so that this guy would give up on his own!

When Mo Rang heard Chen An's self-proclaimed name, he was stunned for a while.

He just reacted and suddenly became excited, his pale face turned a little red!

"I, Mo Rang, bow down to thank Your Majesty for your grace. I do not want any reward. I heard about Your Majesty's new policy and issued a notice allowing all educated people in the world, regardless of their background, to participate in the Mingxin Academy examination. I heard the news and rushed to Tiandu City. I never thought that I would be able to see the Emperor. I have no regrets in this life, even if I die!"

Chen An did issue a notice to change the hidden danger of the major aristocratic families in the Tianyue Dynasty controlling the officialdom.

Not to mention what happened in the court, it happened right under his nose!

However, the Tianyue Dynasty was too large, and almost all the local officials came from aristocratic family backgrounds, so forming cliques and pursuing personal gain was a normal thing.

Even if he wanted to control it, he probably couldn't do it.

and!

These aristocratic families are deeply intertwined and extremely powerful, like a cancer, and there is no telling when they will worsen!

So Chen An wanted to break this phenomenon, and he wanted to make the fish in the officialdom pond not only people from the aristocratic families, but also children from poor families!

A small number of people will probably be excluded, but if there are enough people, they will stick together!

Only by mutual checks and balances can he be at ease and be a hands-off boss.

Although he had never been an emperor, Chen An had this awareness.

After all, his father once told him that you can train some people to work for you, but you must never let them become too powerful to be removed.

The best way is to cultivate other people to create competition and also to provide restraint.

Although the selection of officials in the Tianyue Dynasty was also based on assessment and selection, it required the gentry or officials to write letters of recommendation in order to participate in the Mingxin Academy's examination and selection.

After the reform, you can take the entrance exam without a letter of recommendation!

Of course, there are still many areas that need to be improved. For example, children from poor families probably don’t even have the money for travel!

But there is no need to rush, take it slow.

As for this Mo Rang, it seems that Zhang You met him when he was solving border affairs in Yun'an County and Tianyang County. He thought that this guy had potential, so he wrote a letter of recommendation for him.

Chen An suddenly asked, "Are you taking the exam to serve me?"

Mo Rang nodded, excited and happy: "Yes, being able to serve Your Majesty is my humble hope, but... I don't know if I can pass the examination."

Chen An nodded, said nothing more, then turned and left.

After walking out, Chen An looked at Yu Li: "Yu Li!"

"Your Majesty!" Yu Li walked over.

"You said the Dragon Palace assassins have entered the city. How did you know that?"

Yu Li's spirits lifted. He was really worried that Chen An wouldn't take it seriously. "Your Majesty, the Dragon Palace assassins definitely don't act alone. The Dragon Palace has secret bases all over Shenzhou. When carrying out a mission, they will seek help from the nearest base. To contact the base, they need a secret code!"

"Can you find the stronghold?" Chen An's eyes lit up.

Yu Li smiled bitterly and said, "It's no use now. Every Dragon Palace assassin, whether they are death warriors or king-level assassins, has their own secret symbol. And now, my and Fu Yu's symbols must have been removed. And we don't know other people's secret symbols, so naturally we can't contact the people in the base!"

"However, I do know the secret code symbol of the stronghold. Tiandu City has found the guiding symbol of the secret stronghold. This means that the secret stronghold is guiding the assassin into Tiandu City!"

"So I knew they were coming in, but I didn't know where they were, how they were going to act, or who they were!"

After hearing Yu Li's words, Chen An suddenly asked, "Which stronghold did you seek assistance from?"

"He was killed by you, the man from the ruined temple." Yu Li looked at Chen An dimly.

Chen An curled his lips: "Damn it, that was careless!"

However, Chen An was not too worried. In Tiandu City, he didn't believe that anyone could kill him!

Although he wasn't too worried, Chen An wasn't going to let his guard down. He looked at Yu Li and said, "Come on, get out of here as soon as possible, or you'll have more trouble!"

"Yes!" Yu Li clasped his fists, and his spirits suddenly lifted a lot.

"If you need help, feel free to contact Duan Chi, Yu Xing, or even Liu Tong!" Chen An directly gave Yu Li an imperial order!

This is his exclusive token. Seeing the token is like seeing the emperor in person!

Yu Li took it seriously and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will make sure they never come back!"

Not only does it help Chen An, it also helps herself and Fuyu!

…

Emperor Yi of Shang stayed with Gu Qingyi. Although Gu Qingyi did not acknowledge Emperor Yi of Shang as her disciple, Emperor Yi of Shang followed the etiquette of a disciple.

Chu Mo, Xing'er, Xie Huayu and others naturally followed Chen An back to the Kowloon Palace!

At this moment, Chu Mo, who was following the Imperial Guard, was feeling uneasy, not knowing what the emperor wanted him to do.

He wanted to leave, but he didn't dare to disobey Chen An's orders.

The current Chen An is no longer just the king of Long'an Town back then.

Soon, Chen An met Chu Mo alone in the study.
