"Your Majesty, according to tradition, the court examination is held every three years. The last examination was only conducted the year before last. The next one would need to wait until the end of this year!"
Feng Shou tried to adjust his breathing, not wanting to immediately scold Emperor Yongcheng for being "inappropriate."
He attempted to reason with Emperor Yongcheng in a gentle tone.
However, just as he started, Emperor Yongcheng's smile turned cold, "Sir, during the last examination, I had not yet assumed power!"
The implication was that now he had assumed power, he wanted to hold a court examination as a "celebration." Was that not possible?
Ordinary merchants, when a new owner takes charge, will conduct an audit and examine the staff at the shop.
I am the Emperor, am I less than these merchants?
Feng Shou:... This reasoning truly chokes a person.
"Your Majesty, the court examination is not child's play. The old traditions of the court should not be easily broken!"
