"Tell me specifically, what's going on? Just a point-to-point activation of a joint examination system, what other interesting characters can you meet? If I remember correctly, those who activate the joint examination system point-to-point every year are all those who are interested in the Sixth National Congress, right?"

Zhao Shuo turned his head and said to the old eunuch standing quietly beside him, and the man leaned directly on the back of the dragon chaise.

My body no longer sat straight like before. Although my whole body looked loose, this kind of sitting posture was undoubtedly more comfortable.

"Your Majesty's wise eyes are indeed the case. Every year, those who spend a whole year in the joint examination system are top students who are interested in the six majors in each school. For them, the normal eight-level standard has been reached as early as the second year of high school, so the entire year of high school will be used to study the six majors' points."

The old eunuch bowed and said.

The voice is a bit feminine, but it sounds quite comfortable.

"Yes, the college entrance examination has changed a little after so many years. When the joint examination system was first developed, it was to classify all students according to grades. The six major topics are also to select the best and select the very few students who are truly the best."

"But now, more and more people are accustomed to taking shortcuts and hope to objectively improve their scores by passing the methods of taking exams, but they are not really focused on their studies. However, due to the shortcomings of the joint examination system itself, this method is really effective, which is really...it makes me dislike it."

Zhao Shuo shook his head and continued helplessly: "Just say that this point-to-point act of private activation of the joint examination system, I have long wanted to investigate thoroughly, but because the opposition is too loud, it will move the whole body, resulting in the inability to take corresponding actions. Even if you know it is unfair, you can only turn a blind eye. If you don't go too far, just let it go. What's the point of saying this is a mess?"

"Your Majesty, I have no knowledge. I don't know whether this phenomenon is good or bad. I only know that under Your Majesty's rule, the empire will be prosperous and the people will be safe, and the national strength will be increasing day by day. Now, the Southern Federation has been suppressed and breathless. Today, even the last fig leaf of the Southern Federation was lifted by Your Majesty, which is what makes people feel relieved."

The old eunuch bowed and continued.

"You, you, I don't know if you have any knowledge, but the ability to flatter the whole court is really not as good as you."

Zhao Shuo pointed to the old eunuch and scolded, and after complaining a few more words, he looked at Zhao Ruiliang again and signaled Zhao Ruiliang to explain the matter in detail.

Zhao Ruiliang was not surprised at all by his father's attitude towards the old eunuch. He knew that the old eunuch was his father's first confidant, so he did not hesitate and slowly told him about the process of acquaintance with Ye Ning until the recent days.

At the beginning, Zhao Shuo's expression had not changed much, but when Zhao Ruiliang mentioned Ye Ning's attainment in weapon refining, even with Zhao Shuo's conscience, he couldn't help but say "Huh".

The originally very loose sitting posture subconsciously sat down again, staring at Zhao Ruiliang with bright eyes, and didn't want to miss a word from Zhao Ruiliang's mouth.

Things are not complicated at all, and Zhao Ruiliang and Ye Ning have not been known for a long time, so no matter how meticulous the whole process is, it will not take long.

In about half an hour, Zhao Ruiliang finished his speech. At the end, he smiled and concluded: "Father, Brother Ye is definitely a talented person. As long as we protect him and let him grow up safely, he may be another giant pillar like a marshal in twenty years!"

Zhao Shuo nodded slowly with a serious expression. He did not talk to Zhao Ruiliang at the first time, but instead fell into deep thought.

After pondering for more than ten minutes, he said, "Lao Liu, you should be clear about how important the matter you are talking about, so I have to confirm it. Are there any exaggeration in the words just now?"

The laughing expression on Zhao Ruiliang's face disappeared, and he replied solemnly: "Go back to Father, there is no such thing!"

"Huh... can you really subvert the entire refining field with your own strength?"

Zhao Shuo took a deep breath, as if he was suppressing his inner excitement, and then asked.

"Let's go and do it, it's OK!"

Zhao Ruiliang gave another extremely affirmative answer.

"As you said, Ye Ning should be the same age as you, at best, at the age of eighteen or nineteen, how can he understand the brand new refining structure and refining theory? Who taught him?"

Zhao Shuo continued to ask.

"Father, I don't understand this. Judging from the situation I found out, Brother Ye has no one to teach me, it seems... to be self-study."

Zhao Ruiliang hesitated for a while and replied.

"Self-study? What's the joke? What did Han Xizhi beside you say?"

Zhao Shuo raised his eyebrows, as if he was about to get angry.

"Xizhi had no clue, saying that he had never seen such a strange thing, and with Xizhi's understanding of Canglan City, this kind of thing would not happen."

Zhao Ruiliang shrugged and said.

Zhao Shuo's brows were completely twisted together. After pondering for a while, he turned his head and looked at the old eunuch again, earnestly: "What do you think?"

The old eunuch blinked and bowed, "Your Majesty, I think I don't ask the reason, the process, the result. If there were too many things in this world, if I had to figure it out clearly, I would have been in chaos long ago."

Zhao Shuo was slightly stunned, then laughed and said, "You are right, but I have thought about it for a moment. Let's do it today, set off tomorrow, go to Canglan City, and take a good look at that kid for me... and come back to tell me what kind of person that kid is."

"Yes, your Majesty."

The old eunuch was not surprised at all and bowed directly to respond.

"Lao Liu, this matter is too much involved. Until I can go back and ask Han Xizhi next to you to come over and tell me what he knows."

Zhao Shuo said this and looked at the old eunuch again, and continued, "In addition, after you go to Canglan City, if the kid is not careful enough to do anything accidentally, he will clean up any traces left by accident. Regardless of whether this new weapon refining theory has been circulated, and whether this new weapon refining theory has entered the sight of those who are interested, at least take him out and don't let anyone suspect him."

"Yes, your Majesty."

The old eunuch agreed again.

"Also, I have issued an order. This year's college entrance examination, all students' answers need to be sealed after being scored by the joint examination system. Without my consent, no one is allowed to check it!"

"Lao Liu, you should be more cautious. If you are too involved, you will be shocked if you are not careful. In addition, how many poems did Ye Ning write?"

Zhao Shuo suddenly changed the topic.

"Uh...three songs."
