Regarding the examination for entry positions, it is actually not a major issue, but it affects some of the powers of the Ministry of Personnel.

Of course, other yamens are affected in terms of long-term interests, but Emperor Xuanming’s attitude is resolute.

Even on the second day of court, other officials were discussing it fervently, only to be met with Emperor Xuanming’s unwavering stance.

"How has the Emperor changed like this, refusing to listen to advice and directly making decisions." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Indeed, saying this means the future examinations will only become more rigorous."

"There is no way now, since the Emperor insists so, as subjects, what else can we do?"

"It’s a pity Minister Qi is not present today, otherwise someone in the court might have opposed it. Unlike now, where it seems to be controlled solely by Elder Zhong and others."

"Shh, are you courting death? Elder Zhong is the Emperor’s favorite, and even Lord Chu. To think that now Lord Chu has awakened, and the Emperor still favors him."

"One must admit, the timing of Lord Chu’s awakening is quite coincidental, whether he was truly in a coma or pretended to be."

"Regardless if it was real or fake, he is favored by the Emperor. If you talk behind their backs and it reaches Lord Chu’s ears, be careful."

Chu Heng naturally does not know about these private discussions among officials, and even if he did, his heart probably won’t waver much.

Soon, various yamens in the capital began to busy themselves, with the primary task being publishing books, all related to the governmental affairs of each yamen.

Chu Heng had already left the court, not going to the Official Gazette Office, but instead heading to the Department of Commerce and Construction.

In the Department of Commerce and Construction, after having the two Vice Ministers organize the governmental affairs of the yamen, he took them back to the residence to review.

Officials in the Department of Commerce and Construction have grown accustomed to this habit of Chu Heng, although dissatisfied, they dare not offend him.

Even the Right Vice Minister dared not blatantly undermine Chu Heng, as Chu Heng still enjoys Emperor Xuanming’s favor, showing no signs of coldness, thus he dares not act rashly.

As Chu Heng returned from the yamen, Ye Muyu had just changed Nuanbao into clean clothes, letting Chun Xing take him out to play in the courtyard.

Seeing Chu Heng return, the servants at the residence respectfully saluted.

Chu Heng strode into the main courtyard.

Seeing Ye Muyu, he was somewhat surprised: "Why not go over to the school?"

The children there at the school, many are from the hometown, and their presence makes it lively. Though during the previous period, when Chu Heng encountered issues, it affected the mood of everyone at the residence, making it seem quiet.

Now that Chu Heng is fine, the school has regained its bustle.

Chu Heng wished for Ye Muyu to spend more time with those children to improve his mood, as being alone is somewhat lonely.

"I was waiting for you." Ye Muyu looked up and said, "Today you are back quite early."

"I left the palace and came straight back." Chu Heng walked over, kissed her, then straightened up and said with a smile: "Now I need Ah Yu’s help, regarding this book publishing matter, I need your assistance to supplement."

Ye Muyu raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Publishing books?"

Chu Heng then recounted the matter Emperor Xuanming announced at the court today; although they discussed in the palace yesterday, it wasn’t settled. Unexpectedly, Emperor Xuanming was so decisive, announcing it directly at the court without consulting the officials, but instead ordering it arranged directly.

"In that case, we won’t be able to leave the capital anytime soon?"
