Everything was going on smoothly under Zhao Ji's well-organized arrangement.

For example, in today's scholars' uprising, those scholars gathered outside the palace, and almost everyone looked at the guards at the palace gate with indignation.

"We want to see the Emperor!"

"That's right, we want to see the emperor. We don't believe that such a notice could be issued by the emperor himself!"

"We need to make sure the Emperor is safe!"

These scholars are naive after all, but it is precisely because of this innocence that each of them is fearless.

When the prime minister received the news, these people had been confronting the guards for a whole morning.

During this morning, all the guards fled in panic, mainly because these scholars were too talkative and were particularly good at swearing.

Therefore, most of the guards couldn't bear a few of them, so they went down one after another and were replaced by other colleagues.

However, even so, there was no way to calm the anger of these scholars.

These scholars are really determined to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

"This is outrageous. We've already let them in, so how can we allow these people to gather together and cause trouble?"

The prime minister himself paced back and forth in the mansion anxiously. Mainly because he had not expected it to come to this, so for a moment he had no idea how to deal with it.

As a last resort, the prime minister quickly invited all his trusted aides to hold a meeting.

But this incident happened so suddenly that the staff members couldn't come up with a solution after arguing for a long time.

In the end, it was the prime minister who made the final decision. He gritted his teeth and said, "Go find the eunuch in the palace and ask him to write a notice saying that the imperial examination will be resumed!"

When the other trusted aides heard the prime minister say this, they all became extremely anxious.

"Mr. Prime Minister, this is absolutely unacceptable. It will only make these scholars think that we are being controlled by them!"

"That's right. If that's the case, these scholars will definitely think that we change our mind every day. If they start making trouble again, it will be even more difficult to deal with them!"

But the Prime Minister had no better solution, so he could only say with great headache: "The reason these scholars gathered together was to find an excuse to cancel the imperial examination, so they need to see the emperor now. Now tell them that the imperial examination has been restored, do they still have any right to make trouble?"

"As for the reputation of scenic spots, is it as serious as the current situation?"

"If we don't appease these scholars now, I think these young people will really want to rush directly into the palace!"

The Prime Minister said angrily.

The staff members below looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

"There really is no other way. If that doesn't work, the path the Prime Minister is talking about is indeed a way that can still be taken!"

The voice of a staff member nearby was heard.

Gradually, more and more staff members agreed with the prime minister's proposal.

So these scholars waited until almost noon, when they finally saw the palace gate open and a short eunuch walked out.

This eunuch claimed to be the eunuch in charge of writing in the palace, and his responsibility was to help the emperor grind ink and write instructions.

When the eunuch came out, he took out an imperial edict from his arms and read out the contents of the edict again to the scholars who had gathered outside the palace for a long time.

In fact, if we remove all the various embellishments and descriptions, the core meaning is nothing more than that the emperor felt everyone's love for reading, so he decided to restore the imperial examination.

After the imperial edict was issued, all the scholars present looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Such silence made the eunuch who accepted the bribe from the prime minister feel suspicious.

The main thing was that seeing such a group of people gathered outside the palace was really scary. After the imperial edict was read out, the eunuch in charge of writing letters and ink said nothing and his thin figure immediately flashed to the palace gate.

But in just a few breaths, the man disappeared.

Those scholars looked at each other, and the expressions in their eyes changed from confusion to understanding and then to anger.

The news that Zhao Ji had sent people to spread before was nothing more than that the emperor had been controlled by the prime minister and his colleagues, and that the prime minister and his fellow treacherous ministers had already taken control of the court.

Before, these scholars were skeptical about this news, but after only gathering for a whole morning, the wind direction in the palace changed, and they said that the imperial examination could be restored.

This immediately made these scholars believe the rumors that Zhao Ji had spread before.

"That must be the case. If the emperor is no longer able to pass on messages himself, how could he do such a thing of changing his orders every day?"

I don’t know which guy in the team spoke first, but after he finished speaking, he immediately gained the approval of the others.

Now, as they looked at the guards from the palace with wary eyes, a few people who wanted to vote stood up first.

"My dear friends, even if this matter is restored, I think we still have a lot to learn from. Why don't we go to a place to stay and discuss it first?"

"Brother Li is right. Under the eyes of these guards, some things are hard to say!"

As soon as the leaders spoke, the other scholars immediately nodded as if they had found their backbone.

The passionate thoughts burning in the hearts of these scholars at this moment were not about getting good grades in the imperial examinations and eventually becoming officials in the court.

Instead, what was burning in their hearts was that as citizens of the Celestial Empire and as the emperor's scholars, it was their duty to help the emperor who was now in deep trouble.

This is helping the emperor!

If these things are done successfully, everyone can be included in the family tree.

And it has to be the first page of the family tree.

Moreover, these scholars are naturally more naive than those officials.

Some of them even didn't think about what they would get if they really helped the emperor. They just simply wanted to lend a helping hand to the king and prevent him from being controlled by the court officials under their control.

"Let's go to Yingchun Pavilion?" Someone suggested this, but it was quickly rejected by others.

"A restaurant like this must be opened by these dignitaries. It's naturally not a place to talk. We still need to find a hidden place!"

Suddenly someone said, "The alley where I live is sparsely populated, you can go there!"
