"Your Majesty, there is no way to keep making trouble like this. This morning court is an important place to discuss national affairs. How can we keep making trouble like this?"
"Now the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and there are not many major things that need to be dealt with. But once there are some important things that need everyone to discuss, if this continues, wouldn't it be a delay in national affairs."

The number of places has been reduced by one-third, and now the number of places has been reduced by another twenty. I am afraid that Jiangnan will be in trouble in the future, and it will be extremely difficult to pass the national examination.
"Your Majesty, I have a happy event to report to you~"
