Chapter 32: The Emperor and His Ministers Have Already Met with the Time (32)

Shen Minghuan sat in the carriage heading to the palace. The curtains were lowered. He lazily leaned on the luxurious seat and recalled his performance: [It was quite fun.]

System starry eyes: [Host! Host! You were so handsome just now. I am about to fall in love with you!]

[Do you like this? The Holy Father and the Holy Mother who are as soft as a bun and have no temper at all?] Shen Minghuan chatted with the system in a casual manner.

The system nodded frantically: [No one can refuse gentleness! No one!]

[Oh, that's a pity.] Shen Minghuan said jokingly: [Your host is an evil bad guy who can't stand being wronged the most.]

Who wouldn't like someone who is selfless enough to take everyone's joys and sorrows to heart? Their eyes are filled with the suffering of the world, so they can't see their own gains and losses.

Everyone in the world can be saved, but they are the only ones who acquiesce to their own death.

He, Shen Minghuan, is not such a fool.

The system silently refuted, no, if Master Su had been a little more selfish at the beginning, he would not have...

Zhuo Feichen was going to the battlefield, perhaps because of his skill and courage, Shen Minghuan handed over the Xianzhen Camp to Gu Chenglin and He Zhang without hesitation.

As for who will be the commander in the future, let Luo Xiuyuan worry about it.

If you don't take what God gives, you will suffer the consequences.

For Gu Chenglin and He Zhang, no matter what Shen Minghuan's idea was, they really needed military power, so they left the city and returned to the camp that day to make some new preparations.

The chief guard in charge of guarding the palace escaped on the night when Shen Minghuan killed the previous emperor. Shen Minghuan was too lazy to chase him and handed the position to Chang Mao.

Chang Mao also didn't know what Shen Minghuan was thinking, but being the chief guard could better protect Luo Xiuyuan, so he did his best.

Shen Minghuan was very satisfied with the performance of the three people, and praised his ability to control subordinates in his heart.

Who said he had no one to use? Look how serious and hard they work.

When he arrived at the palace, Chen Xin was already waiting for him.

Chen Xin held a stack of manuscripts, as if he had found a treasure, and his face was full of love.

This was the first time he had such strong emotional fluctuations since Yin Shuhuai left.

This manuscript is a collection of the strengths of many families. The years of frustration of several adults seemed to be poured out in this manuscript. It was detailed to which officials should cooperate in each item, why these people were selected, what things needed to be prepared, how many, how much the expenditure was...

Chen Xin presented the manuscript to Shen Minghuan with reluctance and pride, "Your Highness, please read it."

This is the great Qi that makes him proud, and this is the brilliant wisdom that makes him cry.

He thought that although Shen Minghuan was a traitor, he was talented. When this person saw this exquisite, orderly, and interlocking arrangement of regulations, he would kneel down in shock and worship with a pious face.

Chen Xin looked at Shen Minghuan's expression expectantly.

Shen Minghuan put the manuscript on the table casually, flipped through it carelessly, and gradually showed a look of disgust.

But he looked up and found that Chen Xin was "pitifully" waiting for him to express his opinion.

Shen Minghuan: ...

It's really embarrassing.

The system began to act like a spoiled child in the consciousness space, begging Shen Minghuan to speak nicely.

Shen Minghuan felt that the system had misunderstood him, because he was usually very easy to talk to.

Chen Xin still looked at him "eagerly", Shen Minghuan coughed lightly, and tried to say tactfully: "You did a good job, although there are still many shortcomings, but the flaws do not outweigh the merits."

The system sincerely reminded: [Host, you can leave out the "although" after it. ]

Shen Minghuan argued: [Isn't there a "but"? ]

In order to prove that Chen Xin's charter had only a small flaw, Shen Minghuan pointed out seriously: "It takes too long. Now is the time to recruit people. All these unnecessary formalities are omitted. It's best to start in one month... no, half a month, half a month later."

"Anyway, the students who are eligible to participate have already arrived in Yanling. The remaining half a month is enough to travel. Although it's a bit rushed, it doesn't matter."

"Next time, don't choose the beginning of spring, but in the fall, at least let them spend the New Year at home."

"The questions are well-chosen, but they are still a little incomplete. This, this, and this, these questions are deleted, and the remaining questions are kept, which can just filter out those who use improper means to enter "

"What I'm going to do next requires a group of people who know numerology. You add one more question... Forget it, I don't think there will be many people here. In this way, you can open another one, and everyone can sign up. Those who are excellent can also serve as officials in the court, and all treatment is no less than that of those who pass the imperial examination."

"As for how to prevent cheating in the imperial examination and how to avoid officials protecting each other, your writing is quite complete, but the method is too gentle and cumbersome. You just need to be able to discover injustice in time when it arises, and I will take care of the killing."

Shen Minghuan read it again, "The rest is fine, just follow what you wrote, and you can start now. If anyone stops you, just find me... this king."

After he finished speaking, he felt very decent. He not only praised the other party and expressed his approval, but also gave Chen Xin enough confidence. There is no one who can speak better than him.

The system is desperate, [Host, he will cry if you do this. ]

When Shen Minghuan praises someone, there are ten buts waiting behind him. Moreover, "fairly perfect", "not bad", "okay", can these really be considered praise!

[How could it be? ] Shen Minghuan said: [Look how touched he is? ]

Chen Xin has been silent since he heard the first sentence. The system thinks that this should not be considered touching...right?

"The first question." Chen Xin took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, you know this won't be quick. The imperial examination is related to the national destiny. Those who stand out must have a great career. How many people want to get involved? How many people want to win them over?

"The imperial examination is not a trivial matter. There are many links to prepare, and there are countless interests involved in each link. Half a month is not enough anyway. ”

“The reform of the imperial examination system is even more unacceptable. It is not the lack of talent that is worrying, but the inequality. It is fine for you to open a new channel. You want to attract talents, so the treatment cannot be low. But how can those students who have studied hard for ten years be happy? ”

Chen Xin said: "Your Highness, you will be scolded by the literati in the world."

The system looked at Chen Xin, who seemed to be sincerely worried about Shen Minghuan, and the data was disordered for a moment.

Very good, the unsolved mysteries of the universe are a little more difficult.

"If it is entangled, then cut it off. Just let it go and do it. I will take care of everything. As for being scolded? "Shen Minghuan smiled proudly: "Are there not enough people scolding me? When do you think I care about this?"

He even held the emperor hostage to order the princes. It does not seem like he is worried about his reputation.

Chen Xin hesitated for a moment, "Your Highness, you hope that Daqi is good, right?"

Shen Minghuan was a little surprised: "I hope that people in the world are good."

"... I understand. "Chen Xin bowed solemnly and left, "I will not fail in my mission in the imperial examination."

It doesn't matter whether it is called "Da Qi". The world will always be the same. As long as the people in the world can live well, it doesn't matter if Da Qi perishes.

Chen Xin thought, Shen Minghuan is a man with a broad mind, much nobler than all of them.

The system hummed, thought for a moment, and asked in an unfathomable way: [Host, what did he understand?]

Shen Minghuan was amused by the system's pretense, and answered seriously: [Maybe he was convinced by me.]

The few things he knew about the court before were all spent on Qu Zhengcheng and Lu Zhi. He had never even noticed that there was a person named Chen Xin before.

The court was short of people, and Shen Minghuan had other arrangements for Qu Zhengcheng and others, so Shen Minghuan casually selected Chen Xin.

He originally He had planned to be in charge of the imperial examination, but Chen Xin gave him such a big surprise.

[Surprise? Does the host like him very much? ] The system was puzzled. It didn't feel how much Shen Minghuan admired Chen Xin. He had just said "but".

Shen Minghuan said meaningfully: [Xiaojiu, he is also a scholar. ]

He was also a scholar who had gone through decades of hard study, endured the scorching heat and severe cold, survived the Tongshi, Xiangshi, Huishi, and Palace examinations, walked countless roads and suffered countless hardships, and finally had a foothold in this court.

He should have been a scholar who scolded Shen Minghuan because his interests were damaged.

Shen Minghuan did not return to the Shen family. He found a palace to live in the imperial palace. Even Shen An was driven back by him.

First of all, Because he was really busy, Shen Minghuan had to arrange Yanling in the shortest possible time and build an indestructible foundation for Daqi.

Secondly, Shen Minghuan intended to weaken his ties with the Shen family.

After he became the regent, he even deliberately avoided the news of the Shen family, which even Qu Zhengcheng "saw".

Shen Minghuan firmly believed that a tragic hero with a deep enough story must be isolated and helpless enough.

The mission process has been more than halfway through, and if it continues like this, it won't be long before he will leave this world.

"Shen Minghuan" will die.

Let him build a heart-wrenching sadness and despair for everyone, and let Shen Minghuan end vigorously in the crying of millions of people, leaving only a lingering regret. .

*

At the same time, at the Shen family.

After Shen Changqing sent Shen Minghuan away, he went back to rest. He thought he would not be able to sleep. In fact, he did not sleep well.

He began to have bizarre dreams after lying down. The dreams were all Shen Minghuan at different ages.

The dream was like a veil, hazy and unclear. He watched the past Shen Minghuan chatting and laughing with him, and also watched the present Shen Minghuan burying his head at the desk.

Shen Changqing stretched out his hand and tried to pull off the veil. He wanted to take a good look at his grandson.

Perhaps because of the strong desire in his heart, the picture in the dream finally became clear.

Shen Minghuan knelt in front of him, relaxed and calm, "Grandpa, remove me from the position of the head of the family. My father is more suitable than me."

——It was the scene when Shen Minghuan came to see him on that day when it snowed.

At that time, Shen Changqing barely supported himself and sat on the chair. He opened his mouth dejectedly and uttered a word hoarsely after a long while: "Okay."

The little child he carefully protected grew up and vowed to do something great, to be the savior of the world at the risk of his life, to learn from the sages to be a saint in the world who will carry on the past and open up the future. How can he stop him? How can he stop him?

Shen Changqing was defeated. Yes, he couldn't stop Shen Minghuan in reality, but this was a dream!

So he repeated it over and over again in his dream, even though he knew it was just a fragment of the night's gift, he still refuted Shen Minghuan over and over again: "Nonsense! The head of the Shen family can only be you."

"No one is more suitable to be the head of the family than you, I don't agree with you stepping down."

"The Shen family still needs you, more than anyone else in the world!"

"Minghuan, don't go..."

In the early morning when the sky was slightly bright, everyone turned their eyes to the change of imperial power on the dragon throne, but there was only an old man in his sleep, facing the insurmountable torrent of time, crying and feeling miserable.
