One sentence quelled all the unrest.
The old master found it hard to believe.
"You...you agree?"
Mo Yunhan nodded. "Of course. People may be born into different social classes, but there is no distinction between noble and lowly when it comes to education. The imperial examination system is the most important channel for the Great Zhou to select pillars of society, and fairness and impartiality are the first principles. I support your advocacy for equality in the imperial examination system."
After he finished speaking, he took out a bright yellow imperial edict from his sleeve.
"I have been ordered to quell the rebellion. From this day forward, I will remain here to accompany you all as you await the Emperor's reply. During this period, fighting and insults are strictly prohibited."
The students from the Imperial Academy looked at each other in bewilderment.
The judge, enraged, rushed over from behind the students.
“Ninth Prince, you represent the royal family. How can you speak so biasedly towards these lowly people?”
Mo Yunhan raised his eyes and looked over coldly.
"In your opinion, aren't you just a lowly commoner in front of me?"

Mo Yunhan parted his thin lips.

He will surely investigate the truth, restore order to the imperial examinations, and give all the students in the world a fair and just opportunity to study."
The young eunuch was now sweating profusely.
I thought to myself, "That's it."
The imperial edict was intended to push Mo Yunhan out to be criticized and vilified.
But Mo Yunhan's move was a checkmate.
This put the emperor in a difficult position.
He dared not linger any longer and hurriedly ran back to report the news with his head down.
Qin Run and He Yidong applauded at the same time.
"Long live His Highness the Ninth Prince!"
Everyone at Yulin Academy finally felt more confident.
At the same time, they shouted: "Long live His Highness the Ninth Prince!"
