Chapter Thirty-Eight: The End of Spring
Imperial City of Beijing, March day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
The supreme place in the imperial city, in the Qianqing Palace, does not feel the coolness of the late spring March day at all.
"Yes, I can't say anything about anyone. Qin Siyang said with some self-abandonment, not only that, but his words also had a deep venting tone.
Qin Sijing lowered her head, she didn't expect that this emperor's brother, who she wanted to ask for help, not only couldn't help her, but also made her feel very pitiful.
"Brother Emperor, I'm sorry, Jing'er didn't want to embarrass you. Qin Sijing said timidly.
Qin Siyang made a straight face: "You didn't want to be embarrassed, so what are you doing here?"
Qin Sijing was stunned, and after staying for a long time, her heart suddenly became sour: "Brother Emperor, don't be like this." β
"What's wrong with me?"
"Jing'er just hopes that the emperor's brother is good. β
Qin Siyang was stunned: "I hope I'm okay?"
What does this mean? I just hope he is good? In the deep court of this palace, there will be such a simple and kind girl?
Well, it seems that his fifth sister is really rare.
It's just that now he, Qin Siyang, no longer needs such sympathetic words.
In the end, Qin Sijing couldn't say more, and under the emperor's angry expression, she left in a huff. didn't beg for her second sister and sixth brother as she thought when she came, but when she left, she brought with her the double feelings of pity and fear for her, the emperor's brother.
On March 15, the triennial scientific expedition to Beijing finally arrived.
The days are very normal and effortless, but the examiner of this exam is extremely difficult.
It is decided the day before the start of the exam.
Why it has not been decided, the reason is easy to understand, the queen mother and the ministers can't fight each other, and the emperor is a person who can't make up his mind. Therefore, the interests of various factions are stirring up in it. Everyone takes it for granted that this time the teacher of the new subject will be examined.
At the beginning of the new dynasty, the emperor does not take care of it, and it is impossible for the candidates in this period to be the protΓ©gΓ©s of the son of the day. They must all be the protΓ©gΓ©s of the chief examiner, and now that the pattern between the DPRK and China is in a stalemate, neither faction can move others, and the Jinshi of the new middle school will definitely become the key to the changes in the new dynasty. Therefore, whoever takes the person first will win the first hand.
In the end, I couldn't make trouble, no one let anyone, and after the argument couldn't be stopped, I saw that the days couldn't be delayed any longer, and on the 14th of March, I compromised and became a good gentleman who didn't offend any faction, Master Mo Xun Shen Mo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
There should have been two examiners, but only one was appointed. For there is really no other person to whom all factions have no objections.
Is this okay, anyway, the presiding officer of the exam has always been in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the chief examiner has set the Ministry of Rites to be a good book.
It's just that this Shangshu adult, can he really read the papers?
Let's wait until all the lifters have passed the exam.
Fortunately, there are ancestral regulations on the exam questions, and everyone can't fight if they want to. In terms of examination questions, the principals of each faction naturally presented their own questions, and then the emperor who had never done anything decided from them. In this way, the emperor, who has not been in charge since he ascended the throne, can finally be the master once.
Because the examination questions are selected by the emperor from the questions offered by the ministers, and then sealed and sealed, handed over to the officials of the Ministry of Rites to pick up the Dagong Academy, and wait until the day of the examination to open in public. Therefore, except for the emperor himself, no one knows what the final topic is. It is possible that the questions proposed by each faction will be selected, so there will be no objections.
The three nine-day continuous scientific examinations finally ended at the end of March as scheduled under the discipline of the examination room.
The transcription work was let go, because Master Mo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, wanted to see the writing of each candidate in person to determine the ranking. Although this is the case, because of the shortage of marking personnel and the disputes between all parties, when the final list is released, the time is still in April as scheduled.
Speaking of the new subject marking work, it is naturally presided over by the chief examiner of the compromise of all factions, Mr. Mo, a good man of the Ministry of Rites.
But Mr. Yes really lives up to his reputation for being good in everything, and he also insists on implementing the policy of not offending one person for the test papers handed in by the candidates.
Of course, that person does not include the candidate himself.
There is no more than a chance of disadvantage of the needle, a chance of missing beautiful words and sentences, a rate of wrong arrangement, a rate of untidy fonts, and a rate of too many alterations, etc. In this way, the essays that can be left by this good gentleman are only those exam papers that are similar to pun essays, piled up rhetoric, and basically have no actual content.
As soon as I saw the selected examination papers, the adults who were assigned to review the papers with this chief examiner couldn't stand it.
These adults of various factions, who usually attack each other when they have nothing to do, have shown a rare unanimity on this matter. insisted that this good gentleman who had been compromised withdraw the selection papers he had set, otherwise he would offend them all.
Of course, Mr. Yes panicked at this result, and hurriedly retrieved the selected examination papers that had been set before. Then patiently listen to the opinions of the adults of each faction, and then rack your brains carefully to re-select the selected examination papers. In order to ensure that the examination papers favored by the adults of each faction are selected in a quota.
The arguments of the adults of the various factions are just the ones who are just the others. No one expected that it would be, but it was timely to redeem the glamorous Li Chaochen who was recommended by the Han Mansion.
Because no one could have imagined that this beautiful young man who looks as delicate as a woman on the outside and has weak writing, once he is writing, his writing is extremely inferior to others, and he is extremely wild. Not only that, but the font he wrote was also very unhuman, like a weed, and there was no pattern at all. In addition, he thinks too much, often can't move his pen as fast as his brain, and the words he writes jump very fast. Therefore, the essays written by this beautiful boy are often scribbled and altered by him. When the whole article was first written, it was like spilled ink, and there was no beauty at all.
Mr. Mo re-selected the selected examination papers, and the examination papers written by Li Chaochen without the slightest aesthetic appearance were re-designated for the examination because of the importance of Zou Yuanzheng, the left attendant of the Ministry of War.
A total of 397 people entered the list, which is the largest number in history.
With the release of the new section, the work of the Ministry of Rites can be said to have come to an end, and the bureaus of the DPRK and China have also relaxed for a while.
The characters of all factions are busy contacting each other with the new Gongsheng on the list, and even the queen mother, who lives in the inner courtyard palace, also tries her best to go outside the palace and give instructions to her own adults, and see what candidates are on the list, which people can be reused in the future, so as to ensure that the people they choose are placed in the first and second grades as much as possible in the palace examination below.
Therefore, everyone was busy with their own work, and they didn't have time to pay more attention to the emperor who was left out in the cold, Wei Hua, who had not been allowed to enter the palace for two months, finally found an opportunity to enter the palace again to see Qin Siyang.
"Li Chaochen has successfully obtained the qualification of tribute, Your Majesty, it's up to you below. After seeing the ceremony, listening carefully and there was no one else left and right, Wei Hua said expressionlessly.
Qin Siyang ignored these and asked, "What about Shuangli, how is her situation now?"
"Little sister is very good. Wei Hua replied briefly.
"Very good, how good?" Qin Siyang asked again uneasily, "You can't even bring a letter from her." β
"The emperor's current situation is not suitable for receiving letters. Wei Hua replied.
Qin Si raised his eyebrows and frowned: "Okay, I won't talk about this, did you leave her and enter Beijing?"
"I haven't entered Beijing yet. β
"Why don't you go in yet, it's getting hot, where else does she want to go?" Qin Siyang was in a hurry, he couldn't see each other anymore, and he couldn't receive letters, he just hoped that her people and himself would get as close as possible. At least let him know that she was always there for him.
"Little sister has her own plans. β
"What are her plans?" Qin Siyang asked reluctantly, "Isn't the matter of Yan Luodian already over?"
Wei Hua's expression froze: "Your Majesty, this is not the end. Yan Luodian has been keeping an eye on Han Gongzi and them very closely, and the little junior sister really shouldn't have too much contact with the people of the Han Mansion. β
"It's not appropriate to contact more, so who guarantees the safety of Shuangli?" Qin Siyang said angrily.
Wei Hua froze and said, "This emperor can rest assured, the little junior sister is a lucky star and will be fine." β
"Fuxing?" Qin Siyang glared at Wei Hua: "Wei Zipu, don't you want you to believe in God too?"
Wei Hua frowned slightly, and said slowly: "The minister has never believed in ghosts and gods, but he has always believed in one thing. β
"Pure heart, good people," Qin Siyang muttered happily, "Yes, this reason is the best." β
Seeing this, Wei Hua bowed slightly, turned the topic back again, and said, "In this way, the little junior sister is fine." Has the emperor temporarily put his heart on Li Chaochen's side?"
"Li Chaochen?" Qin Siyang thought of this person and asked, "He's on the list, that's good." β
Wei Hua bowed again, and the black gauze scarf covering half of the surface fell vertically: "Yes, and he is more suitable to approach the emperor than Weichen, and he is more able to share the emperor's worries." β
Qin Siyang thought for a moment, but then asked, "Does he know about Shuangli?"
Wei Hua frowned again: "I know some." β
"Does he know martial arts?"
"No, it won't. β
"That's not the same as his big brother?"
"It's very different. β
"What do you think of him?"
Wei Hua's only one eye looked up slightly: "Wei Chen can only say that people can't be good-looking." β
"Hey," Qin Siyang's eyes widened and said strangely, "What do you mean by this, doesn't it mean that Li Chaochen is very beautiful?"
"Yes, it's beautiful. Wei Hua nodded.
Qin Siyang was even more surprised: "What do you say?"
Wei Hua bowed again: "No matter what, Brother Zifan has promised Han San Gongzi that he will maintain a comparable appearance in front of people." β
Qin Siyang pondered for a moment: "It sounds very interesting. β
Wei Hua smiled: "It's best if the emperor is interested." β
Qin Siyang looked out the window, and his mind finally returned to the current situation: "The Queen Mother, they have already divided the more than 300 tribute students." β
"It's all gone. β
Qin Siyang smiled coldly: "Then which side did Li Chaochen follow." β
Wei Hua groaned slightly: "I heard that there are both the military department and the household department, and the queen mother intends to set the fifth princess to him." (To be continued.) )
