Chapter 431: Inquiring about the National Academy
After the court session, Emperor Ming entered the Imperial Study Room and looked at the memorial in his hand.
He said lightly, “These people are fierce critics of each other in normal times, but are surprisingly united when it comes to external matters.”
Eunuch Li stood beside him and respectfully said, “The imperial examination system has a significant impact on the powerful, so they naturally want to resist it with all their might.”
“Have there been any significant events in the Imperial City in the past few days?” Emperor Ming asked as he scanned the memorial, looking for an opportunity to target those officials who opposed him.
Eunuch Li pondered for a moment before replying, “There has been a major incident in Imperial City recently, and it has to do with Young Master Qin Feng, the eldest son of the Qin family.”
“Oh? Tell me about it,” Emperor Ming said, putting down the memorial.
Learning that Qin Feng was the one who proposed the imperial examination system, his interest in the young man had grown.
Eunuch Li organised his words and explained the academic dispute between Qin Feng and the National Academy.
“Is this true?” Emperor Ming suddenly stood up after hearing the story.
