There are only a few days of New Year in the palace from Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the new year, and after the New Year, Ji Xuanyuan will start to go to court. An Sui felt that the emperor was probably not so easy to be, and as the palace people who were waiting, there were always a few days off a month, and the ministers of the previous dynasty also had two or three days a month to rest, but the emperor above 10,000 people, unless he was sick and the New Year, he never had any time to rest.

The year has passed, the battle report is coming, and the alliance of Lou Lan and Guizi has come to invade Jindi again, but this year is also a good day, and as soon as spring begins, the imperial examination will reach the last level of the palace test. The capital is very lively, and the three-year round of imperial examinations makes the capital full of joy, and Ji Xuanyuan is also very happy. It has been three years since Chiwu, and a large number of officials have fallen in the past two years, and now is a good opportunity to fill it.

Even the scholars in the capital have also been in a round, and no matter how many rankings the scholars have taken this year, the odds of being able to become officials have greatly increased a lot compared to before.

The business of the Beijing Inn was suddenly much better than in previous years. And at a glance, the name of this inn has a good intention, what high school inn, Sheden inn, champion inn and the like, it makes people feel happy.

Ji Xuanyuan pointed to a few papers for the written examination, "An Sui, come and take a look, this is the paper picked up by Lord Yang and Lord Cao Shangqiu, the official of the Hanlin Academy, and the scholars of the palace examination are probably decided here." ”

An Sui took the volume handed by Ji Xuanyuan, and there were more than 30 copies. In fact, the number of places in the palace examination is only ten, "Isn't there a few that Lord Yang and Lord Qiu can recommend?" ”

"Yes, I have some ideas in my mind, so I want you to take a look and see if what you think is in line with what I want. In addition, I feel that I also have a plan in my heart about the Honglu Temple that you talked about before, so I want to select a few people who have some opinions on foreign affairs to go to Honglu Temple to experience and experience. ”

An Sui looked at it and suddenly laughed, Ji Xuanyuan glanced at it, the name on the scroll was Cai Xiang, "What, is there anything wrong with this scroll?" ”

An Sui shook his head, "That's not the case, I knew such a person before, but now I feel happy when I see the scroll." ”

"How?"

"This Cai Xiang is the eldest son of Master Cai, the official doctor, and when Weichen has not yet entered the palace, he lived in the mansion of Lord Qian for a period of time, and the fourth daughter of Lord Qian is the doll who is engaged with Cai Xiang. Now Weichen has been in the palace for more than two years, but he doesn't know that the two have already married. I have heard that Cai Xiang writes well, his temperament is very gentle, and the words on the scroll are very warm, but between the words, I can also see that he has great ambitions in his heart, but he has a bit of arrogance as a scholar. ”

"Now it's been through your advice. I am also very optimistic about this Cai Xiang, and I wanted to point out a marriage to Moyu, but I didn't want Cai Xiang to have a family affair. Do you have some friendship with Lord Qian? ”

An said, "Weichen's second sister-in-law is the second daughter of Master Qian, Weichen has no relatives and no reason in Beijing, Lord Qian does not dislike it, and let Weichen live in the mansion for a while." After entering the palace, I rarely heard the news of Lord Qian. ”

"I see?" Ji Xuanyuan asked again, "In addition to Cai Xiang's scroll, have you seen any good ones?" ”

An Sui pointed to a scroll, "Yin Qingcheng." This person's words are very wild, but he directly points to the secret affairs of the court, and Weichen thinks that this person will be the nemesis of the left minister in the future. If it is used well, it is Wei Zhengyi Yin and others, one of the emperor's Mingjian. ”

"I don't have anyone like that around me yet."

"His temperament must be more difficult to tolerate in the world, if he can, Lord Qian can be his guide."

"Have you seen anything good about foreign affairs?"

An Sui shook his head, "Internal and external troubles, external troubles, most people think that the war can be solved." What's more, the written test questions talk about internal affairs, and the scholars are not allowed to deviate from the questions to answer, so how can they see the talent of foreign affairs. ”

Ji Xuanyuan squinted his eyes, "In that case, how about you decide the question of the palace exam?" ”

An Sui raised his eyes, "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules." ”

"You can give me a question, and don't ask you to go to the temple to give them a question."

An Sui nodded, she didn't know the calculation in Ji Xuanyuan's heart. In foreign affairs, she can't come out, he still hopes to cover her up, and he is finally glad of the decision of the Queen Mother at this time.
