Chapter 282 Happy Dragon Boat Festival!
The court officials glanced at Yuan Ruan from the corner of their eyes: "Go on! Boss, keep talking! You have nothing to fear anyway!"
The system did not disappoint the court officials' expectations.
The system continued to talk: [Ah Ruan, hehe, let me continue. The queen was annoyed and directly suppressed your brother...]
The court officials collectively staggered: !!!
What?! This is a tyrant! Is the queen so brave?!
They subconsciously followed Yuanruan's pace.
The Third Prince, who was carrying Yuan Ruan towards the harem, vaguely felt some movement behind him. He turned his head and happened to meet the eyes of a group of court officials who were following him on tiptoe.
The third prince's mouth twitched.
The emperor in front suddenly coughed lightly.
The right legs that the court officials at the back had just raised suddenly froze in mid-air.
The third prince understood his father's intention, and he carried Yuan Ruan in his arms and galloped all the way to the harem.
The court officials could only stand stiffly and watch Yuan Ruan's departing back.
They could vaguely hear a few words in the wind: "Oh my god, brother is going to be suppressed one day?" "What? Broken?" "... Fortunately, it can be saved... Your brother will let it go." "... Hiss, it can still be like this? Interesting?"...
The courtiers' pupils trembled: !!!
What!
System, turn up the volume!
They all stretched their necks hard, but no other news came from the wind.
This feeling of eating melon but coming to an abrupt end is very uncomfortable, as if little ants are crawling all over my body:
"Everyone should eat melons when there are melons. Who hasn't been exposed to melons before? Who dares to laugh at who?"
"You may say this to His Majesty's face."
"Who dares? I will wave the flag and shout for you!"
…
Having said this, the court officials looked at each other, bowed and said goodbye, and left the palace.
At the same time, the third prince ate the whole melon with a blushing face.
Well, it turns out that my father and my mother... well, they were living in harmony and almost got hurt. They were only released after a thorough examination by the imperial physician. No wonder I was late, and no wonder my father hurried back to the palace.
…
After a few days, the Ministry of Justice finally notified those dignitaries who had some connections with the out-of-town students to come and pick them up.
The gate of the Ministry of Justice.
The students were all looking forward to it with tears in their eyes.
When facing the accusations from their relatives and friends, the students no longer raised their chins and acted rebellious as before. Instead, they all nodded like chickens pecking at rice. Some even asked pitifully whether their imprisonment in the Ministry of Justice would affect their performance in the imperial examinations.
This made it difficult for the dignitaries who came to pick them up to say anything harsh. Instead, they comforted them and told them to go home and prepare for the exam without any other tricks. They could all take the imperial examination. At the same time, the dignitaries all hinted that even if they succeeded in the imperial examination, their future career would be very difficult.
On the same day, the emperor announced the establishment of an official school that only accepted common people's students - Taixue, and an official school that women could attend - Yuanxue.
The emergence of this news once again proved the emperor's determination to promote the popularization of students.
No matter how conflicted and gritting their teeth were in their hearts, the noble families were all smiling on the surface and no one objected. Not only did they not object, they also actively expressed to the emperor in the court that they were willing to teach and lecture at the Imperial Academy and Yuanxue.
The emperor saw that they wanted to secretly invest in civilian students in advance, and even wanted to form cliques.
But the emperor readily agreed.
In the early stage, with Xiao Jiu squatting, the noble families dared not mess around even if they bought and entangled the talented people. In the later stage, more and more common people were cultivated, and there were too many monks and too little porridge. Naturally, there would be competition and opposition between the nobles and the common people, which was also the picture the emperor wanted to see.
In other words, this is like borrowing chickens to lay eggs, and the emperor will not think that the borrowed chickens are too many.
In fact, the noble families have analyzed this situation many times.
But they still decided to be the hen that incubates the eggs.
Because it will take a long time to achieve a situation where "there are too many monks and too little porridge", if they participate in advance, they may be able to plan and change something. If they do not take the initiative to participate, the future of passive waiting is doomed to failure.
