Chapter 117: The Imperial Examination

"You agree?"

Wuhai asked Dong Qingdu, and he also agreed to replace the court officials?

You must know that the Dong family has always not taken the initiative to participate in politics, and the Dong family will only work behind the scenes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

What's more, although the relationship between the Dong family and the He family has not been very good, everyone does not believe that the Dong family and the He family will go to the opposite side, this is a society with strong clan blood relations, after all, the two families are related.

"If this person really doesn't have half a point in this imperial examination, even if Qinghe wants to pull him down, there is no way. ”

Dong Qingdu's meaning is very simple, it depends on him.

Wu Hai was noncommittal, sitting opposite him, and the two of them chatted about the talents of the last imperial examination that they wanted to woo.

Dong Qinghe also came over, the list has been roughly decided, and now they are collecting deeper things about these people over the years.

That test paper booklet was returned with the festival during the Lantern Festival, after all, it will be returned to the Ministry of Rites at the end of this month, in case the Ministry of Rites urges in advance, it will be embarrassing.

"Are you sure you read those articles?" asked her suspiciously.

Dong Qinghe almost gritted her teeth, she was too bullying, she was indeed the worst writer in the family, but she couldn't look down on her like this.

"It's okay, it's okay, let's just learn slowly. Dong Qingdu added fuel to the fire with a smile.

Dong Qinghe glared at him, and he was not a good one, so he knew that she was not good at writing articles.

"The most advantageous thing for the He family is the control of the court officials, there will be a large number of new talents in the imperial court in this imperial examination, or select talents that everyone knows, and He Xiang will not give up. ”

The imperial examination of the Xia State has always been presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the questions are jointly produced by the Ministry of Rites, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province, and the emperor chooses the questions that are actually printed on the examination papers, and the forbidden army and the city defense army undertake the patrol and security inside and outside the examination room.

In the end, the excellent examination papers will be jointly selected by the Zhongshu disciples, and the emperor will decide which ones will be selected after reading them.

After that, there will be a palace examination in April, and the emperor will personally ask questions, personally inspect, and finally determine the specific ranking of the top three.

These are all conventional, and those who really have the ability to decide the test papers are the Great Confucians and the emperor, and it stands to reason that there will be no exposure.

After all, the imperial examination is also divided into four types, Ming Jing, Jinshi, Shifu, and Ming Calculation.

What to apply for the exam has long been decided, and those teachers who have disciples to refer to them are also not allowed to write questions and review them, but generally this kind of Confucian questions are either different from the content of the students taking the exam, or they have been modified.

The emperor pays attention to fairness, but where is there real fairness, a powerful minister like He Xiang, not to mention controlling the test papers, really wants to think about it, and there is still a grasp of two or three points.

The first subject of Jinshi is the most applied for the examination, and it is also the most difficult, and generally this kind of person is used the most in the imperial court.

This year, Wang Chang applied for the Jinshi subject.

Zhou Yuan.

At noon the day before the imperial examination, all the disciples of Master Zhou who could come back today have returned, and it is rare for Zhou Yuan to be so lively.

They are all here to cheer for the little disciples, Dong Qingdu is the youngest among the personal disciples, except for him, everyone else has already married and joked around Dong Qingdu.

In the past few years, some people have entered the officialdom, some have been free in the world, some are in charge of the affairs of the family, and some have entered the Dong family because of Dong Qingdu's relationship.

Next to Wang Chang sat An Beisheng, who had a very good relationship with him, and An Beisheng smiled and toasted with him: "Come, have a drink, I said that if you really come out, in fact, it is much better to go to Dong's house than officialdom." The officialdom is chaotic, and they are all mediocre people, not as good as the Dong family. ”

An Beisheng had already drunk a lot today, a little drunk, and pulled Wang Chang to complain.

"Alright. Wang Chang pulled him down from himself, although he knew that this was An Beisheng's heart, and An Beisheng was unwilling to obey the will of the people in the family, which was the reason.

Wang Chang glanced at it, and Master Zhou and Wu Hai sat together and toasted each other.

Others don't know, he knows that the heir of the imperial examination invited by Master Zhou is a member of the Dong family.

The Dong family really has such a big attraction.

As an ordinary person, his family is just an ordinary family, his father is just an ordinary artist, and his mother is an ordinary embroiderer who embroiders something to sell.

Because he lives at the bottom, he has seen all kinds of powers, and his greatest hope is that he can also have power and protect the people around him.

Wu Hai is a junior, but he is different from others, he is a guest, so he chatted with Master Zhou.

swept around the people, all of them were big officials in the court, and there were all departments.

These are all connections, if it weren't for the Dong family, where would he have the opportunity to toast with so many people before the exam.

Even if he didn't pass the exam, speaking of which, these people are all his senior brothers, and they are all connections.

The people of the Dong family have indeed helped him a lot, and the eldest lady of the Dong family is his nobleman.

Thinking of Dong Qinghe, the bright woman came to mind, the eldest lady of the Dong family, who is really a good person from the first good family in the world.

The eldest young master of the Dong family, his senior brother, has also been helping him with his homework.

In this life, he owes the Dong family and can't pay it back.

With the attention of all parties, the imperial examination began.

"Are you sure?"

Meditation Building, Dong Qinghe asked Wuhai suspiciously, she couldn't believe it.

Wuhai nodded, "Our people saw him go in with their own eyes. ”

If the prince of King Qing joins in any fun, he is already the prince of the prince, with the relationship between King Qing and the emperor, he will definitely be able to have a prince's seat, although he wants to be demoted, but where is there a nephew who descends to the title of his uncle's family, as long as King Qing passes on the throne when he is still alive, he must be a prince.

The prince is the most powerful person outside the emperor, and even the emperor's biological brother Chu Xuan, who is above 10,000 people under one person, is not just a prince.

In addition to the regent, the prince is already the best, and even the regent is only powerful, and the status is the same.

"He's not afraid of the tree?"

How did the current emperor's position come about, they all know that King Qing is already the first prince of the older generation, and he also controls the Zongren Mansion, and he is the most prestigious member of the royal family.

At this time, the prince of King Qing was still like this, so he was not afraid that the emperor would suspect that he would be dissatisfied with the palace.

Sometimes evidence is not needed, suspicion is sufficient, especially at the royal level.

King Qing Shizi is a prodigy praised by the first emperor himself, he was born at a young age, talented, and intelligent, and the first emperor cared about him no less than the prince.

Once the Son of Heaven has passed, now the emperor and King Qing are equals, naturally there is no love heart, King Qing should be a talent with his tail between his legs.

A prince's son, who achieved a good ranking in the imperial examination, is really looking for death. Only a prince who is determined to compete for the throne will have this idea.

Unless, he's going to make a fool of himself.

The imperial examinations were closed-book, that is, no one knew who wrote them until they were written.

She wanted to see what the prince wanted to do.

"Did Fan Minh do anything?"

Pham Minh was the prey they wanted to take down this time.

"Rest assured, if he did something, we'll find out. Wuhai is still quite laid-back, he likes the feeling of watching others take the imperial examination, which is actually very uncomfortable.

"By the way, let me remind you, He Xingfeng of the He family seems to have often appeared in front of your father recently. ”

Dong Qinghe frowned, He Xingfeng of the He family, she seemed to understand something.

"Is the He family's brain pumping?"

"Dong Qinghe" is a sick man, and they are really relieved, they are not afraid that they will die immediately after marrying back, and the Dong family will settle accounts with them.

"It's all worrying. ”

The Dong family and the He family are relatives, even so, the He family is unwilling, and the Dong family has never said that they want to stand with the He family.

What is he He Xingfeng, and he is also coming to propose, she doesn't remember what Dong Qinghe has in touch with He Xingfeng.

The people of the He family are good, and her Dong Qinghe's opinion is not serious, she is still a sick seedling, and it is good if someone wants it.

Seeing a cold light flashing in her eyes, Wu Hai secretly shrank to the side for a distance.

This aunt was angry.

Han Zhen also knew about this, because at this time she was entertaining Wan's, Mrs. He Xiang, He Xingfeng, and He Xianshu's mother.

Today, the Wan family and the Lin family came over, and no one else came, so she understood their intention.

"Xingfeng's nephew is naturally good, but Qinghe she, alas, is not good to drag down Xingfeng's nephew. We are all relatives, and you can't say what happened. ”

Han Zhen shirked, Dong Qinghe and the He family, she couldn't suppress this matter.

"It's hard to say, Qinghe's niece is dignified and generous, smart and smart, it is our vision that is good, and you teach it well, what do you say. ”

Wan was disgusted, and when he talked about Dong Qinghe, there were two more smiles on his face.

"Speaking of which, the child is also a cousin-in-law who grew up, although he is not the eldest son, but he does not have to deal with the trivial matters in the family without his daughter-in-law, and he is happy. "The Lin family didn't come here to sit and watch, they were ordered by Mrs. He to help persuade Han Zhen.

Wan Shi also nodded: "Although it is the second son, it will not be less when the time comes, but it will be more than two percent." ”

The He family has three sons-in-law, logically speaking, He Juefeng is the most, He Xingfeng and He Manfeng are not as many as He Juefeng, if it is really He Xingfeng more than thirty percent, it is by no means worse than He Xingfeng, at least on the surface.

"Speaking of which, it is naturally good for this aunt to become a mother-in-law, they are all their own people, and I can rest assured, but Qinghe she, you also said, Xingfeng is my nephew, I grew up, I can't harm her, how many elixirs did Qinghe eat to get to today, one repeatedly, when the time comes, the little two will be separated from each other, how can they bear it. ”

Han Zhen sighed, as if she had seen an unfortunate future, Wan and Lin exchanged a look, did you say that about your daughter.

"Don't say anything else, you can raise her so big, why can't we, this daughter will marry sooner or later, or I'm sorry for her. Qinghe is a good child, our whole family likes it, and I can't take my eyes off it when I see it for the first time. ”

Lin took over the conversation: "Yes, I remember that my mother's birthday banquet is also the first time Qinghe has participated in the banquet, and the two of them have fate, this is still what he begged us to come, saying that he would not marry." ”

Han Zhen smiled, even though she was disdainful in her heart, she was still very happy on the surface, "Yes, it's just that I also have to ask Qinghe what she means, she has been sick for so many years, and she is also withdrawn, and she said two days ago that she wants to go out to play, and she will grow up again." ”

"It just so happens that Xingfeng also has this thought, I used to say that he was not the eldest son, and he bullied his brother, so I knew how lazy I was, and now it seems that it makes sense. ”

picked up the teacup to hide the smile, in fact, what Han Zhen really wanted to hide was the sneer at the corner of her mouth.

Can the He family still produce this kind of boy?

You must know that Mrs. Dong is a concubine, and Mrs. He is just a concubine, and Mrs. He can go from a concubine to a first-class old lady, and I don't know how much she has experienced.

But it is undeniable that the men of the He family are all working hard.

In the evening, Han Zhen talked to Dong Chengshuo about this matter, Dong Chengshuo nodded, and he felt that He Xingfeng was often dangling in front of him these days.

The boy of the He family wants to marry his daughter, but forget it, his daughter can't marry into the He family and be hurt.

Dong Chengshuo's heart is clear, the He family looks beautiful, but in fact, every step is cautious, and it is really not a good destination for a woman to marry in.

His daughter is not worried about getting married, so why should she suffer that sin?

At dinner, Han Zhen mentioned this matter, Dong Qinghe had already heard Wuhai say that it was nothing, but Dong Qingdu was taken aback.

was stunned for a moment, how could it be a kid from the He family, he thought it was the Luo family.

Dong Qinghe and the He family boy should be nothing, he is sure, it should be the He family's wishful thinking.

If it was really a kid from the Luo family, maybe he would admire it from the bottom of his heart, and of course he would definitely have to stop it.

"I helped you refuse. Han Zhen glanced at Dong Qinghe, although she often said in her heart that she wanted to solve the lifelong affairs of the brother and sister, in fact, she was the most reluctant and worried.

"Good. Dong Qinghe nodded and took a sip of water, she had no opinion, He Xingfeng, she had no other impression except acquaintance.

The He family is trying to pull the Dong family into their chariot.

Han Zhen glanced at Dong Qingdu, she wanted to say something but didn't say it, she thought about it today, but she didn't say it after all.

Dong Qingdu lowered his head and took a sip of soup, fortunately he escaped, he really didn't want to discuss with his mother which girl he had a crush on.

The people of the entire Xia Kingdom are waiting to see the results of this imperial examination, and the queen mother in the palace is also waiting.

"The talents who come out of this examination must be carefully selected, and they are all your henchmen and pillars of the country in the future. ”

"Yes. Chu Chen nodded, "This year is the first imperial examination since his son took power, and there must be a lot of talents, and they all want to follow his son." ”

"Yes, as an emperor, you must know how to make good use of people, don't stick to one pattern, don't underestimate young people, you have sharpness, although there are two points less calm, but it is more reassuring, and the stars are still upright. ”

Empress Dowager Zhu really hopes that this year Chu Chen can get a group of future ministers of his own humerus.

"My son must be cautious. ”
