After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 132: Searching for Someone in the Palace

The Minister of Personnel is in charge of personnel. He thought about it and said:

"Even if we were to appoint Censors and Six Departments of Imperial Censors, we wouldn't need 120 of them, would we?"

"You're right, so we need to set up another department: the Hanlin Academy."

It was the first time that Qi Guangren heard of the "Hanlin Academy" and couldn't help but ask, "What is the Hanlin Academy?"

"To put it bluntly, the Hanlin Academy was a place to cultivate talent and store up promising minds. It was responsible for compiling books and history, drafting imperial edicts, and serving as a reading assistant to members of the imperial family.

However, not everyone can enter the Hanlin Academy.

The 120 newly admitted Jinshi had to go through a selection examination, and those with excellent results were called "Shujishi".

Only Shujishi could enter the Hanlin Academy.

Once there is a vacancy in an official position in the imperial court, the Hanlin Academy can fill it at any time.

Moreover, we can set a rule in the future: only Hanlin scholars can enter the cabinet."

After listening to Ye Wuwei's explanation, everyone understood:

Although Hanlin scholars seem to have no real power, they actually hold a noble status and are a stepping stone to becoming a senior cabinet minister or even a local official.

After Ye Wuwei finished speaking, he asked everyone, "So, does anyone have any objections?"

After listening to what Ye Wuwei said, the Minister of Rites' opposition to the imperial examination was not so strong anymore.

"How often do the imperial examinations take place?"

"The imperial examination is tentatively scheduled to be held every three years. If there are special circumstances, a special examination can be held temporarily."

Seeing that the imperial examination was held only once every three years, the Minister of Rites's willingness to oppose it weakened a little.

The Minister of Personnel asked another key question:

"Since the imperial examination is for selecting talents, shouldn't the Ministry of Personnel be responsible for presiding over it?"

Historically, the imperial examinations were administered by either the Ministry of Personnel or the Ministry of Rites, with the Hanlin Academy occasionally presiding over them. However, Ye Wuwei would not hand over such power to the Minister of Personnel or the Minister of Rites.

At least not now!

"The Ministry of Personnel has a lot of affairs to attend to. This imperial examination is just a trial in Andu. We won't bother the Ministry with such a small matter.

Isn't there still no crown prince? Let the Zhan family take charge."

Mr. Zhan from the Zhan Mansion was Chen Shusheng, the brother-in-law of Qi Guangren. Everyone looked at Qi Guangren and said nothing against him.

At this time, Chu Fuchi's voice sounded:

"I think Minister Ye's suggestion is very good. Let the Zhanshi Mansion preside over this imperial examination. We can't let the people in the Zhanshi Mansion just take salaries without doing any work."

After Chu Fuchi customized the equipment Ye Wuwei needed in the desert, he returned to the palace.

As soon as he stepped into the side hall of Taiji Hall, he heard Ye Wuwei asking Chen Shusheng to preside over the imperial examination, and he immediately expressed his agreement.

If Chen Shusheng were here, he would point at Chu Fuchi's nose and scold him.

Chu Fuchi and his men threw all the trivial and miscellaneous matters to him. The people in the Zhan Mansion were busy as dogs every day, and they still dared to say that they were just taking salaries without doing any work!

However, Chen Shusheng was not there at the time, so he could only let Chu Fuchi slander him.

Qi Wushuang's assist was also impressive. He continued Chu Fuchi's words:

"Since everyone agrees on the scientific examination, the cabinet should submit a proposal regarding it."

Wu Wei was tired after talking so much today, so he let Fu Chi and several elders take charge of the next task.

Anyway, Qi Guangren and He Changsong will support Fu Chi. Let Qi Guangren win over the Minister of Rites, and the matter will be settled!

Qi Wushuang had beautiful thoughts in his heart.

The three ministers: When did they stop having objections?

They also have to tell the Grand Marshal, the Grand Tutor, and the Grand Master that everyone needs to discuss it together before making a decision!

Seeing that the imperial examination was almost settled, Ye Wuwei asked Qi Wushuang:

"Your Majesty, is there anything else?"

There was nothing else that Ye Wuwei wanted to withdraw.

Although I was wearing a silk mask, I still felt uncomfortable after talking so much.

Qi Wushuang wanted to keep Ye Wuwei for a while longer, but even if Ye Wuwei stayed here, the two of them could not do anything.

It would be better to let Wu Wei rest earlier. He was exhausted by himself last night.

Thinking of this, Qi Wushuang said, "It's okay."

After Ye Wuwei left, Qi Wushuang asked the five elders: "Do you have anything else to do? If not, please leave."

After the five elders left, Qi Wushuang's soul began to disappear again.

Seeing this, Chu Fuchi felt that he could not let Qi Wushuang go on like this, so he asked Xiao Dengzi to move the proposal from his desk over.

Qi Wushuang patiently discussed political affairs with Chu Fuchi for half an hour, and then instructed Xiao Dengzi:

"Move the memorial to the bedroom."

After saying that, without waiting for Chu Fuchi to say anything else, he patted his butt and left.

Looking at Qi Wushuang's back, Chu Fuchi fell into deep sorrow.

Wushuang sticks to Ye Wuwei like this. If Ye Wuwei is really gone, how will he live the rest of his life?

Should we let Ye Wuwei go to the North?

Little Dengzi was also worried.

There are so many memorials. I wonder if Your Majesty can review them all today?

Qi Wushuang didn't care about the entanglement between Chu Fuchi and Xiao Dengzi at all. He strode into the bedroom.

Ye Wuwei is not here.

Qi Wushuang searched the entire bedroom but still couldn't find Ye Wuwei.

Qi Wushuang was anxious. Wuwei wouldn't go to the north, right?

Qi Wushuang walked out of the bedroom and anxiously asked the guards around him, "Have you seen Minister Ye?"

"No."

Qi Wushuang then remembered that Ye Wuwei usually avoided the imperial guards when entering the bedroom.

Qi Wushuang searched the entire palace for Ye Wuwei.

Ye Wuwei was found by Nie Youren.

It wasn't Nie Youren who was looking for Ye Wuwei, but Nie Youren couldn't afford to bother Chu Jianghe and made an appointment with Ye Wuwei on Chu Jianghe's behalf.

At this time, Ye Wuwei was in the side hall of Taiji Hall.

The houses in the west of the city had not been built yet, so Nie Youren and his companions were temporarily arranged to live in the palace.

However, they were all arranged to live in Taiji Hall and Fuxing Palace. No one dared to live in the huge Zhaohua Palace even if it was empty.

Except Ye Wuwei!

Ye Wuwei had been chatting with Nie Youren for quite a while when Chu Jianghe arrived.

Chu Jianghe attentively poured a glass of wine for Ye Wuwei.

"Minister Ye, I didn't know Anli was your shop that day. I apologize for any offense I may have caused you."

Ye Wuwei did not take off his mask.

"Mr. Chu, you are His Majesty's cousin and a legitimate royal relative. You really don't need to be so polite to me.

Don’t say it wasn’t you that day, even if it was you, it wouldn’t be a big deal.”

Nie Youren asked curiously, "What happened that day?"

Chu Jianghe didn't say anything.

Ye Wuwei said nonchalantly:

“No big deal.

It was Chu Yuyan who acted like a spoiled brat in the Amway store, and I happened to be there at the time, so I didn't indulge her."

Hearing that it was Chu Yuyan, Nie Youren said:

"Prince Chu has one son and two daughters. Crown Prince Chu and Vice Minister Chu have been with His Majesty all year round and are not by his side. Only Chu Yuyan is still with him, so he prefers Chu Yuyan a little.

Because of this, Chu Yuyan has a bit of a spoiled temper."

Ye Wuwei had no concept of legitimate and illegitimate children, but at this moment he deliberately said:

"It's nothing that Prince Chu favors Chu Yuyan a little, there is no parent in the world who is not partial.

However, Chu Yuyan wants to know her identity.

She is a concubine's daughter, but she acts more pretentiously than Tai'an. People who don't know her would think she is the legitimate daughter and Tai'an is the concubine's daughter. This is too much."

After saying this, Ye Wuwei smiled and said to Chu Jianghe:

"Mr. Chu, please don't blame me for speaking like this. Tai'an and I are friends, and I happen to be a bit protective of my own shortcomings, so I can't stand Chu Yuyan."

What can Chu Jianghe say when facing the most popular person around Qi Wushuang?

Ye Wuwei smiled and said to Chu Jianghe:

"I'm not feeling well today and can't drink. When I get better, I'll make an appointment with Master Chu again."

Seeing Ye Wuyi still wearing a mask, Nie Youren vaguely guessed something and echoed:

"Minister Ye, when you're better, let Jiang He treat you and I'll be your companion."

Ye Wuwei still wanted to save Nie Youren's face, so he smiled and said, "Then it's settled."

"What's settled?"
