Seeing his son's embarrassed appearance, although Changsun Wuji also felt ashamed, he felt more distressed in his heart.

Injuries caused by beating boards are very troublesome to treat. Even if no bones are injured, the flesh is broken and the wounds are difficult to heal.

Fortunately, it is still winter, so inflammation and pus are not easy to occur. If it were a hot summer, it would be difficult for my son, Sun Jun, to survive an injury like this.

Even so, Changsun Jun's buttocks still looks horrifying with the bloody flesh. If not treated properly, he may be left with a lifelong disability.

Changsun Wuji glared at the guards fiercely and said angrily: "You are so lawless, how dare you do such a heavy-handed thing outside Taiji Palace?"

After saying that, he immediately turned to His Majesty Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me!"

The guard who was in charge of the execution was also extremely depressed and even uneasy.

If Changsun Wuji really wanted to deal with a small guard like him, he would have no power to fight back.

However, it was all thanks to Changsun Jun, a good-looking guy, for holding back and keeping silent, so that the strength of his palms became stronger and stronger.

Looking at His Majesty Li Er as if asking for help, the imperial guard knew that the only one who could save him was the emperor!

In any case, they were acting in accordance with His Majesty Li Er's will.

His Majesty Li Er frowned as he looked at Changsun Jun, who was in a mess with feces and urine everywhere.

It's impossible to feel comfortable when such dirty things happen outside Tai Chi Hall.

So he waved his hands and said: "Assistant machine, this guard can handle punishments fairly and strictly, I am very pleased."

"As a prime minister, you should be tolerant. Why bother with them?"

"Now, the eldest grandson Qianniu should be allowed to get ready and take a good rest. Otherwise, how can he serve the imperial court?"

Changsun Jun was originally in pain and embarrassed. When he saw His Majesty Li Er and his entourage coming out, he even wanted to pretend to faint.

But when he heard that His Majesty Li Er had promised him an official position for Qianniu, he was immediately overjoyed.

In his opinion, he was obviously in the wrong by not saying anything after being beaten just now.

Even though he was removed from the post of captain, he was now given the gift of a thousand oxen, which was actually not a loss.

So he endured the severe pain and shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."

"In that case, you have a good rest, and I will ask the imperial doctor to come over and give you a good treatment." With that said, Li Shimin turned around and walked into the Tai Chi Hall.

Then another word came: "My dear friends, why don't you come in quickly? Let's discuss the unfinished matters again, and Marquis Zhongyi should come in too!"

Although Changsun Wuji was still a little aggrieved, His Majesty Li Er said so, so there was nothing he could do but agree.

For his son Sun Jun, there is even a feeling of hating iron for not being able to become steel.

I originally wanted to get some more benefits from His Majesty Li Er, but I didn't know that this son was too impatient.

Returning to the Tai Chi Hall, everyone except Changsun Wuji was holding back their smiles. Everyone was silent and seemed a little dull.

Yang Fan was also at a loss as to what to do, and secretly wondered what could be the reason for His Majesty Li Er to tell him to come here.

So after entering the palace, he could only stand aside in shock.

His Majesty Li Er raised his eyes and glanced at Yang Fan, and said: "Marquis Zhongyi has just been executed with the rod, and it is difficult to sit down. So just stand aside and listen. I will have my own instructions later."

After saying that, he ignored Yang Fan, who looked depressed, and said to Cen Wenwen, a member of Zhongshushe: "Continue the discussion."

"Promise!" Cen Wenwen glanced at Yang Fan in surprise and quickly agreed.

Isn't this Marquis Zhongyi so favored?

He is the only one among the younger generation who can actually sit in on a meeting of this level!

Yang Fan, on the other hand, stood aside obediently, but almost cursed in his heart.

He really wanted to say that his butt was fine and find him a seat quickly.

After all, there is a room full of people sitting, so what does it mean to let him stand?

Of course, complaints are complaints.

Although I never served as an official in my previous life, I have never seen pigs running around or eaten pork, so it is impossible that I don’t have any common sense.

Obviously, His Majesty Li Er wanted to train him.

Among the people in front of me, except for Cen Wenwen, the secretary (from Zhongshushe), the lowest ranking.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Li Ji were all the mainstays of the empire, and they were all equivalent to the standing committee members of later generations.

Yang Fan was able to stand aside and listen, which was considered a favor from the emperor.

In such a meeting, the matters discussed must be extremely important national affairs.

As a young boy, he was able to listen to dignitaries at a close distance. This was no ordinary opportunity or gift.

Of course, Yang Fan understands, and everyone here is an old fox who knows better than him.

While Changsun Wuji was listening to Cen Wenwen's words, he couldn't help but glance at Yang Fan's arrogant face, feeling extremely jealous.

As the leader of the younger generation in Chang'an City, his son Changsun Chong is no better than this bastard.

But I am still not qualified to listen to a meeting of this level.

Not to mention other young people, except for these old guys who founded the country, many important officials in the DPRK are not qualified to participate in such a meeting!

More importantly, this is not just a matter of participating or not, but it shows a person's status in the emperor's heart.

Only when the emperor cultivates you as a pillar of the empire will he allow you to sit in on meetings of this level.

The people present were all the right-hand men of His Majesty Li Er. It can be said that they single-handedly pushed His Majesty Li Er to the throne of emperor, and that is why he achieved his current status.

But who does Yang Fan count?

Although he had the merit of destroying the country, compared with their achievements in founding the country, it was still far behind.

What's more, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not qualified to participate in a meeting of this level, but His Majesty Li Er deliberately left Yang Fan here, which is somewhat intriguing.

How can this stick be so valuable to His Majesty?

It really makes Changsun Wuji a little unpredictable.

For a long time, Changsun Wuji didn't really value Yang Fan very much.

Because he felt that although Yang Fan was a little smart, he was still too impulsive.

Governing a country and playing politics cannot be solved with fists.

Of course, there is something about Yang Fan that he admires, which is his ability to amass money like the God of Wealth.

Due to years of wars and natural disasters, what the empire needs most is massive amounts of money and food.

There is no doubt that it is obviously impossible for Yang Fan to get such an opportunity just because he can make money.

In Changsun Wuji's view, his son Changsun Chong is much better than this boy in terms of talent, learning and ability to handle government affairs, and His Majesty Li Er did not see him deliberately cultivating him.

How could Changsun Wuji know, although Yang Fan only knew a little bit about everything.

Who told him to look at the problem from the shoulders of giants?

Compared to Changsun Wuji's jealousy, Fang Xuanling knew better.

After all, Yang Fan is a young talent that he and His Majesty Li Er discovered together.

From the very beginning, His Majesty Li Er wanted to train this boy, but the time was not right and this boy's background was too poor.

Now that Yang Fan has succeeded in destroying the country, he can be considered to have some capital.

What you did today is obviously going to be of great use to your Majesty!

Now that I am in my sixties, how many more years can I continue to work?

If he personally trains a young talent to serve the empire before he reaches old age, it will be regarded as a life worthy of his life.

Li Ji acted the most friendly, grinning and giving Yang Fan an encouraging look. Who knew there was someone in his family who cared deeply about this boy.

As for Wei Zheng, he is always so meticulous, straight-backed, shows no emotion or anger, and always seems to have a poker face.

Only Li Jing was the most laid-back. He squinted his eyes as if he were listening to music. For those who didn't know, he thought he was an old naughty boy who had run away from somewhere.

The most powerful courtiers in the empire are in different shapes at this time...

In the main hall, only Cen Wenwen's voice spread: "Since the imperial examination system was implemented in my dynasty, the imperial examination has been conducted once a year. Since the beginning of the year, His Majesty changed the imperial examination to once every two years, so this year's imperial examination was not held.

As a result, many students complained."

"Some people even took the opportunity to spread some rumors and criticize the court's decision. If these people cannot be completely subdued, they will be a source of trouble in the future, and there may be chaos in next year's scientific examination!"

Changsun Wuji also regained his composure and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, because this year's imperial examination was postponed for a year, students have a lot of complaints."

"Especially in the Guanzhong area, there are even rumors that the imperial court wants to abolish the imperial examination. If not stopped, it may cause turmoil in the empire."

His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly, his face a little gloomy. Of course he knew the serious relationship between this.

The people who deliberately created these rumors are just children of some aristocratic families.

If the new imperial examination system is implemented, these people will have to compete with poor students for positions.

Compared with the comfortable days in the past when you could get an official position just by taking the imperial examination, this is simply taking food from their mouths.

Rather than saying that it was these students who started the rumors, it would be better to say that the aristocratic families were behind it and adding fuel to the flames.
