A woman?
According to the rules of the palace, sending a woman to the emperor had to go through a certain procedure!
This was because there were countless women in this world who wanted to sleep with Zhu Hou.
Seeing Cao Zhengchun's self-reproach, Zhu Houyan did not get angry. Instead, he yawned and said,"
"Eunuch Cao, you should go out and be on night duty.”
" Your Majesty, but..." Cao Zhengchun wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he shook his head and turned to leave.
Zhu Houjin returned to his bedroom and pushed the door open to see a woman.
Under the flickering lights, Zhu Houjie could see her face clearly. It was a heavenly beauty.
The two dimples on her face were extremely charming.
Zhu Houjin recognized her at a glance. It was the Demonic Saintess, Ren Yingying!
"Ren Yingying, why are you here?”
Zhu Houjin walked to her side and asked her with a complicated expression.
Ren Yingying's expression was extremely complicated. It was this man in front of her who caused her father, Ren Woxing, to lose his eyes and suffer from torture. The famous Demon Cult Master, Ren Woxing, had completely gone crazy...
However, it was also this handsome and mighty man in front of him who led the Ming Empire to advance by leaps and bounds, the eternal wise ruler praised by the people.
To be loyal to the country or to be filial to your father?
She was conflicted and conflicted. Loyalty and filial piety could not be achieved at the same time…
"It was Cao Zhengchun's arrangement, and also my own request, Your Majesty.”
The moment Ren Yingying saw Zhu Houjin, the ice in her heart melted uncontrollably. She wanted to stop it but it was futile…
On Zhu Houjian's side, he already understood that Cao Zhengchun thought that he had killed all the members of the Demonic Sect and only left Ren Yingying alive…
Am I that kind of person?
The beauties of the world, I can have sex with whoever I want, is there a need to be like this?
These damn eunuchs really knew how to figure out the emperor's will!
That's right, Ren Yingying was a glorious beauty at this moment!
With her around, the makeup of the six palaces was colorless!
"Oh right, you won't hate me for your father's matter, right?”Zhu Houjin said with a smile.
Ren Yingying said calmly," Although it might be disgraceful to say it, I did hate Your Majesty…But Your Majesty is the father of the world. I don't hate him now."”
Zhu Houyou was stunned for a moment. He thought that Ren Yingying was quite clear about gratitude and resentment. She actually said the word "hate" in front of him. According to the law of Ming Dynasty…However, Zhu Houyou felt that Ren Yingying was still a chivalrous woman with integrity.
Zhu Houzhen walked up to Ren Yingying. Ren Yingying was about 168cm tall.
This was considered very tall in ancient times, and his figure was also extremely good.

Ten days later, the provincial examination ended and the examiners of the various prefectures sealed the venue.
In order to prevent fraud, the names of the candidates 'essays were sealed and submitted to the governors and governors.
Zhu Houzhen had already received the report from the head examiner, Wang Yangming, and the entire state capital of the empire had entered the marking stage.
The questions for the provincial examination were set by the Ministry of Rites and the university students. Only when one passed the provincial examination and entered the capital for the imperial examination would the chief examiner and the cabinet set the questions together.
As for the court examinations, the emperor would personally set the questions.
The provincial examination of the Ming Dynasty tested the contents of Mencius, the Great Learning, the Doctrine of the Doctrine, and the Analects of Confucius. The essay was used to respond to current affairs, understanding, and arguments.
All the texts were still eight-part essays.
Only writing the eight-part essay well was the foundation of a carp leaping over the dragon gate…
It was just that this imperial examination was a little special.
Using eight-part essay to discuss the various reforms of the empire?
Wasn't this forcing him…
The people who came up with the questions were the Minister of Rites, Wang Yong, and the Grand Scholar of the Profound Language Pavilion, Zheng Jimin.
How could he turn a blind eye to the business reform that was being carried out in the entire Imperium?
Therefore, the examinees felt that the exam was quite awkward. The last reform was Wang Anshi's reform 400 years ago.
In the eyes of the Confucians, reform had always been considered treasonous and heresy. It was the so-called violation of the laws of the ancestors…
However, they didn't dare to oppose the reform in the test paper. They knew that it was courting death.
This really stumped many scholars, especially those who were over 60 years old.
They had studied Confucian classics all their lives. How could they use eight-part essay and Confucian classics to write articles praising the reform?
However, even so, there were still many excellent essays written by the examinees from all over the empire.
These excellent articles were sent to the capital, and the examiner Wang Yangming filtered them again and presented them to Zhu Houzhen.
When these articles were delivered, Zhu Houzhen was basking in the warm winter sun in the royal study. There was no court session today.
Without the hard work of reading documents, it is rare to have leisure and leisure.
Huang Jin bent down and carried a wooden box. He then tiptoed and placed the wooden box on the Dragon Book table beside Zhu Houjin.
"Your Majesty, this is a good essay written by all the provincial examination students. Please read it, Your Majesty.”
Zhu Houjin nodded and motioned for Huang Jin to leave.
Then, he opened the wooden box and took out the topmost exam paper. It was an essay written by a student named Zhang Juzheng.
Zhu Houzhen's eyes lit up. Zhang Juzheng was a truly capable official!
He was the prime minister's hero!
Zhang Juzheng's article was called " Reforms prosper, the world is abundant, and the people are abundant."
With this article, he obtained the treatment of being the first to be read by the emperor.
