When the other assistant was about to order someone to bring the scroll of the fellow jinshi candidate to another room, he went to open the door, and the door was pushed open from the outside.

Gonggong Feng of the East Palace showed a big face, and then quickly retreated.

Seeing that Gonggong Feng was behind the crown prince, the assistant minister hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Lord Han and Jifu also quickly knelt down beside the desk when they heard the voice.

The prince raised his hand slightly: "No courtesy." ”

The three stood up.

The prince came in in a wheelchair with the help of his chamberlain.

He saw that there were two stacks of articles on the case, and took the top one of the thin stacks and read: "This character is very well written." ”

There are requirements for the font of the temple test, and they must be orthography, and the cleaner the better.

The second assistant listened to the prince's compliment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, that book must be Chen Boyan's.

But then he couldn't laugh at the prince's words: "There is a kind of softness." After the evaluation, the prince put the article aside casually and went to read the second one.

The second assistant's heart jumped, and he glanced at the partner at the door, and the partner was not calmer than him, they were told by Lord Chen, if the prince did not choose Chen Boyan, he would definitely be scolded.

The prince quietly read ten articles, picked out the top three that he thought were good, and said: "Although they are all on topic, there are no amazing works, if you have to choose one, two, three, there are only these three." ”

After speaking, he was secretly disappointed in his heart, his cousin's apprentice, the level is not much higher than that of other students, the first one he picked out, barely the second equal, this still depends on the face that must be taught by his cousin, otherwise, this person will not be the leader.

Seeing that the prince was not very happy, the second assistant did not dare to breathe.

Lord Han suddenly said, "Your Highness, the minister has objections. ”

The two of them looked at Lord Han with a warning gaze.

Lord Han turned a blind eye, went to the bottom of the corner and pulled out an article, flipped through it, confirmed that it was that, and then presented it to the prince: "Please take a look." ”

The two auxiliary ministers secretly glared at Lord Han, they should have let this person get out of here, but unfortunately they never found a chance.

The prince first saw the circle above: "Eight? "Then why is it in a bunch of articles.

The prince's face darkened, and he bowed his head to review the article.

After reading it, he looked up at Lord Han, frowned, and looked back at the two again.

When the prince was reading, the two of them were already so frightened that their foreheads were sweating, and when they looked at the prince's gaze, the second assistant said with embarrassment: "This person's article is too sharp, I'm afraid it's a thorn." ”

The prince said: "You put it?" ”

Jisuke bowed his head.

The prince asked again, and the second assistant hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The minister is biased." ”

The prince said: "If you don't have the level of commenting on articles, this palace really doubts how you deal with state affairs on weekdays." ”

"Your Highness, the minister is terrified." This is a very severe criticism, and the DPRK and China use the quality of reading as the basis for distinguishing the status of officials, and this evaluation is everything that negates a person.

The prince did not change his words, nor did he let the second assistant get up, and then sorted out the articles he had read again, and singled out three books: "Tomorrow's champion, choose among these three." ”

Lord Han took the scroll and opened the headers one by one, the prince and the person he admired the most were really the protégés of Princess Yong'an, called Tuesday's, the second Wang Wenyi, and the third Bai Ziqi.

Chen Boyan didn't even enter the top three.

Those two auxiliary ministers are the real disgraced now.

After reading the names of the top three, the prince finalized the scope of Jinshi, and the remaining candidates for Tongjinshi were handed over to Lord Han for selection; "Since you don't have the ability to read the review article, let the two of them help you out." I didn't forget to humiliate the two of them.

Give the two of them shame and shamelessness.

Later, the crown prince left, and the second assistant looked at Lord Han with fierce eyes.

Lord Han was not afraid, and said, "The two of you are not busy enough, what are you doing with the pestle?" Marking the papers. ”

Both of them blew their beards angrily, but they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak again.

After reading the splendid chapter, and then reading the barely passing article, it was really torture for the readers, and the three of them were patient, and finally finished the circle of candidates for the same jinshi.

By the time I walked out of the Cabinet building, it was already dark.

Lord Han had nothing to say to these two colleagues, so he went home to eat with his wife and children.

The two of them were in the courtyard, and when they saw that there was no one left and right, the two began to mourn their relatives: "How can I explain this to Lord Chen?" ”

Each of them has a handle in the hands of Lord Chen, of course, Lord Chen also has a handle in their hands, but after all, Lord Chen is an old man who has come all the way with the emperor, and his position is high, so they still have to work for Lord Chen.

It didn't work out.

The second assistant thought for a while: "Maybe the only way is to ask the emperor to come forward to review." ”

After all, there are still differences between the personalities of the emperor and the crown prince, and reading the article, it may not be the same.

But the emperor has already said that let the crown prince supervise the country, except for military affairs, he will not ask anything else.

Besides, people are father and son, and they are courtiers, so they take it to the emperor and tell the emperor that they are not satisfied with the prince's choice, so that the emperor will come forward to slap the prince in the face.

The emperor can't, and the emperor's preferences are uncertain.

Another minister shook his head again and again: "Don't be whimsical, don't die fast enough, the crown prince has set the top three, unless it is fraud, he will definitely not be replaced." ”

This reminds people of Xu Biao, who was second in the examination, and the article and Jinshi were barely selected, and the results of the examination must have been copied.

The first Tuesday is the real talent, and the questions of the palace examination are temporarily formulated by the prince, and it is impossible to leak the questions.

People who are really talented and learn can't be squeezed out, which will make them die.

It was difficult to tell the results to Lord Chen.

Chen Boyan's results in the palace exam were not as good as the exam, and he ranked sixth in the second grade, because the prince didn't like the melancholy of his article.

After hearing this, Lord Chen scolded the prince thousands of times in his heart, and felt that the prince had no vision.

But his arms couldn't reach his thighs, and he couldn't do anything to the prince.

Asked, "Who are the top three?" ”

The two auxiliaries could answer him and give him a list.

Lord Chen's nose was almost crooked; "Two of Princess Yong'an's students are in the top three."

That's right, that Bai Ziqi too.

The two auxiliary ministers glanced at each other, indicating that they were also surprised.

Lord Chen thought calmly, his son said, they and Princess Yong'an should not be enemies, okay, then this time it is not aimed at Princess Yong'an, just say that this person on Tuesday, Xue Changyuan's illegitimate son, such a disgraceful identity can still be on the first list, it is really a shame for the world's scholars.

There is also Xue Changyuan, a sanctimonious and well-dressed beast, and his illegitimate son dares to be better than his son, why should he?

Lord Chen looked at the dark night sky outside the window and muttered, "Since I am fortunate enough to hear it, then we will be lively." ”

Without the cabinet ministers to disclose the news, Xue Shipan's waiting days are quite difficult, tomorrow is the time for the palace to be the champion, whether he is in the top three or not?

After getting out of bed, he walked to the bed and opened the curtains, but the night sky outside the window couldn't give him an answer.
