Chapter 462: The method is too naive!
Noon, in the Yangxin Palace.
Ye Chen sat in the main seat.
Yun Fuyao and Madam Xue were sitting in the guest seats, but it was Ye Chen who called them over to have dinner together.
Both women are stunningly beautiful, each with their own unique charm.
Mrs. Xue, who is a foodie, kept unconsciously looking at Yun Fuyao sitting opposite her.
Yun Fuyao was wearing a light yellow brocade dress. Her scholarly temperament and intellectual beauty were like a spring breeze, pleasing to the eyes.
Mrs. Xue was also amazed.
And she knew that Yun Fuyao was not only Ye Chen's counselor, but also his concubine, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.
While helping Ye Chen, she mostly managed the spies in the palace and played some music. In comparison, what she could do for Ye Chen was really limited.
This made her suddenly feel a little useless, and a sense of urgency that Ye Chen might be snatched away surged in her heart.
But soon, she felt that something was wrong. How could she think like that?
But she is Ye Chen's aunt, and Ye Chen is not her thing.
What is there to grab?
Mrs. Xue had a lot of distracting thoughts in her mind. She was absent-minded when eating and even lost interest in tasting delicious food.
Ye Chen did not notice anything unusual about Mrs. Xue. Today, he asked the royal chefs to make grilled fish according to Tong Le's recipe.
I was happily savoring the taste which was almost identical to that in later generations.
After the meal, Ye Chen asked Mrs. Xue to leave.
Madam Xue bowed and took her leave, then glanced at Yun Fuyao who stayed in the Yangxin Palace, a hint of loss flashing in her eyes.
After Madam Xue left, Ye Chen looked at Yun Fuyao and said, "Fuyao, I plan to go out of the palace to take a look. You should come with me. If anything happens, you can give me advice."
Yun Fuyao was slightly stunned, then said: "Your Majesty, I have a lot of things to do."
Ye Chen interrupted her and said, "Can you let Han Cheng and other poor family students handle it? You can check it after they have finished. Don't do everything yourself. Give your subordinates a little trust."
Ye Chen's tone was gentle. He didn't want Yun Fuyao to get too tired, so he took her away.
Yun Fuyao felt a warm feeling in her heart as she listened to Ye Chen's words.
"Your Majesty, I understand."
Hearing this, Ye Chen stepped forward and suddenly put his arm around Yun Fuyao's waist in a domineering manner.
Yun Fuyao blushed instantly, and her shy look was like a blooming peach blossom, so beautiful and charming.
"Fuyao, change my clothes!"
"promise."
Yun Fuyao obediently changed Ye Chen's clothes into ordinary people's clothes.
After putting on his clothes, Ye Chen turned to Cheng En and said, "Go and inform Kunning Palace that I will be leaving the palace soon."
"Old slave obeys the order."
Ye Chen then took Yun Fuyao out of the Yangxin Palace and waited for a moment.
Shen Qiu came with the carriage.
At this moment, Shen Qiu was wearing black men's clothing.
The black clothes tightly wrapped around her exquisite body. Her eyes were cold and icy, and there was a hint of solemnity in her aura.
She walked up to Ye Chen, clasped her fists and said, "Your Majesty, the carriage is ready."
Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, "Qiu'er, follow me."
"promise!"
Ye Chen took Yun Fuyao and Shen Qiu onto the carriage.
The carriage quickly left the palace and headed straight towards the Supervisory Office.
Lu Niudan, who was in charge of the affairs of the Supervisory Office, had brought people to greet them outside the Supervisory Office early in the morning. After seeing the carriage, Lu Niudan was startled and hurried forward.
The carriage stopped.
Lu Niu Dan lowered his head and whispered respectfully beside the carriage: "Your Majesty, the secret room has been prepared for you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly, said nothing, and drove the carriage straight into the Supervisory Office.
Then, Ye Chen got out of the car and walked into the secret room.
The atmosphere in the secret room was solemn.
Ye Chen sat in the main seat, quietly waiting for news from all over the place.
And a lot of the news is meaningless and is thrown aside after just reading it once.
But one piece of news caught Ye Chen's attention.
"Outside Wuguan Pass, the number of Jingzhou soldiers has suddenly increased significantly?"
Ye Chen frowned slightly and fell into deep thought
While increasing troops in Jingzhou, more and more spies entered the capital area to inquire about the paper and flour business.
Ye Chen felt that something was not right.
Does Jingzhou have so much food and grass to supply tens of thousands of troops to stay outside Wuguan for a long time?
Ye Chen put the secret letter of this news aside and started to read other news.
Then, Shen Qiu suddenly walked up to him.
"Your Majesty, news has arrived from the palace that the surrounding governors all believe the imperial examination system is inappropriate and are opposing it."
Hearing this, Ye Chen immediately understood why the Jingzhou army was able to increase its troops and consume the enemy for a long time.
This means that the powerful people outside the Gyeonggi region are going to unite as one.
"Let Fuyao come over here"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said immediately.
Wait until Yun Fuyao enters the secret room.
Ye Chen immediately said in a deep voice, "Fuyao, tomorrow's newspaper headlines will say that the imperial court allows the frustrated children of powerful families from all over the country to take the imperial examinations."
Hearing this, Yun Fuyao was slightly stunned, then took the order and left.
"Humph, you are a bunch of loose sand. I wonder what you can do!"
A sneer appeared on Ye Chen's face.
These powerful families were able to unite to oppose the imperial examination system, but their mistake was that they lived too affluently and could have children endlessly.
But there are only so many official positions.
Ye Chen wanted to make these powerful people understand that the implementation of the imperial examination was also an opportunity for their redundant children. Then, he would see whether these powerful people would still firmly oppose the imperial examination!
As long as most of the powerful people don't object, Ye Chen can increase his stake.
At that time, these children of powerful families will compete with poor students from all over the world!
Everyone has their own abilities, but whether one can truly become an official still depends on Ye Chen's golden urn lottery.
Therefore, Ye Chen is the one who can ultimately control the overall situation.
In Ye Chen's opinion, the methods of those powerful families are too naive!
