Knowing that Shen Zhu was a talent, many people came to the door to kiss in person. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

For a while, the residence of the two of them can be described as a crowded and lively place.

"The snobbery of man has to be seen again now." Shen Zhu stroked his forehead and sighed.

If they don't get in, I'm afraid many people won't come to their door for the rest of their lives.

Li Yuan, who was not bothered by this matter, smiled lightly: "So what many people care about is not that person, but what is outside that person's body." ”

"That's why I won't marry their daughter." Shen Zhu said seriously.

Li Yuan still smiled faintly.

"Why don't we move out? I can't be bothered. And now is the time for us to do our best to prepare. ”

The palace test was held on March 15, and they only had eleven days to prepare, and Shen Zhu didn't want to be disturbed by those people in the remaining eleven days.

Li Yuan didn't want to move around, after all, he had lived here for four months, and he was familiar with the surrounding environment and had feelings, but when he saw Shen Zhu dealing with those who came to him with a sad face every day, he finally compromised.

The two moved out the next night and moved to live not far from the palace.

Now their ears are finally clear.

On March 15, the temple examination was held as scheduled.

This is the highest section of the imperial examination, which is personally written and presided over by the emperor, and the examination room is in the Taihe Palace.

This was the first time that Shen Zhu and Li Yuan had entered the palace, and the glorious majesty of the palace made them awe-struck and made them proud to be here.

No one knew that Li Yuan had other thoughts in his heart.

Li Yuanchao looked at the emperor sitting on the seat.

But I saw that the people on the seat had sharp eyes, serious expressions, tall figures, handsome facial features, and a compelling extravagance.

When Li Yuan looked at the man, the man's gaze swept over Li Yuan's face, his expression suddenly condensed slightly, and his brows immediately furrowed slightly.

The emperor pays attention to appearance, and generally people who can be reused by him must not only have real talent and hard work, but also have a dignified appearance, but a person like Li Yuan, who has half of his face broken, obviously does not meet his aesthetic requirements.

However, although half of Li Yuan's face is broken, the other side of his face is extraordinary, and you can imagine how handsome he would be if he didn't break his face.

Li Yuan could also guess the emperor's thoughts at the moment, and he reluctantly smiled at the emperor.

The scar on his face was less hideous when he smiled, but it was still not good-looking. The emperor has turned his gaze away.

After roll call, scattering, praising and prostration, the temple examination officially began.

Dozens of candidates then picked up their brushes and began to write.

When these candidates answered the questions, the emperor looked at them carefully one by one, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt that this Li Yuan was an eyesore.

The emperor beckoned to the invigilator on the side to bring Li Yuan's personal information.

Seeing that his background and experience were extremely ordinary, and he was not a relative or friend of Queen Jingzhuang's mother's family, he directly threw his information back to the invigilator.

By the time the sun had set in the west, the invigilators handed over their papers to the designated custodians.

In the afternoon of the next day, the list of the top 10 personnel who had been read by eight marking officers and approved by the chief marking officer was sent to the emperor's desk, and the emperor would decide the ranking.

Shen Zhu and Li Yuan are also on this list.

The emperor did not immediately open the scroll to look at it, but asked the chief marking officer who sent the scroll: "How is this year's article?" ”

The chief examiner knelt down and replied respectfully: "There are two people who are quite unique in their analysis of current affairs. ”

"Oh? Which two? ”

"Li Yuan, who won the first place, and Shen Zhu, who won the second place, will try."

The emperor unfolded the answer sheet of these two people - Shen Zhu and Li Yuan both mentioned in the policy of the current affairs that the state has not solved in recent years (including the case of the victim of the Buxun family), and bluntly said that the imperial court did not pay enough attention to these cases, and also directly criticized the personnel of the relevant departments for not doing their best and not finding out the truth in time. The rhetoric of the two men is equally fierce, and the arguments are equally sharp and unvarnished.

The emperor was furious when he saw it, and threw their rolls back on the table with a snap.

Liu Bacong, the chief marking officer, didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly retreated.

After Liu Bacong stepped down, he immediately went to see the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Miyazawa Tetsu.

"Judging from the emperor's look, I'm afraid it's difficult for these two to get into the top three." Liu Bacong said worriedly.

Miyazawa Tetsu was originally a little worried, but now he heard him say this and hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong with their answer sheet?" ”

"Their words are too sharp, and you know that the emperor has always disliked others to speak in this tone."

"Got it, thank you, Lord Liu."

"Xia Guan originally wanted to help you, but now I'm afraid I'm powerless." Liu Bacong said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay, I know that Lord Liu has done his best."

As soon as Liu Bacong left, Miyazawa Tetsu immediately went to the East Palace to find the prince.

The crown prince knew that there would be difficulties at this pass, so he had already sent letters to Yun Yiting, the first assistant of the cabinet, Peng Wentao and Liu Yan, the scholars of the cabinet, and Zheng Yusong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and asked them to enter the palace immediately.

Tetsu Miyazawa secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The crown prince and Miyazawa Tetsu rushed to the Yinghua Hall to meet the emperor.

When they arrived at the gate of the Yinghua Palace, Yun Yiting and Peng Wentao also arrived, and the four of them entered the Yinghua Hall together.

Liu Yan and Zheng Yusong also arrived immediately.

As soon as the emperor saw this formation, he knew that they had something to say, and said lightly: "I have already ranked the rankings, so the crown prince and you Aiqing don't have to say anything more." With that, he motioned to Gonggong Zhang to hand them the list.

Sure enough, Shen Zhu and Li Yuan were not among the top three.

The prince hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, now that there is a backlog of more than a dozen major murder cases in the country, it is the time when newcomers with the ability to handle cases are urgently needed to join the investigation and handling. ”

Only those who enter the top three can enter the official career faster and are more qualified to hold important positions.

And this list has a chance to change as long as it has not been published.

Yun Yiting also immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, in the past few years, the talented people in the country in investigating cases are indeed too scarce, and if it continues like this, there will definitely be public grievances and unjust cases. ”

Miyazawa Zhe, Zheng Yusong, Peng Wentao and Liu Yan also said in unison: "Please Your Majesty give them the opportunity to display their talents." ”

They all knew the results of Shen Zhu and Li Yuan's examination, and the results of the palace examination had also been known from the chief marking officer, so they all knew very well that Shen Zhu and Li Yuan were qualified to enter the top three.

The emperor is also a smart person, of course, he also knows that these two people can be reused, but the emperor especially dislikes the character of these two people, so he deliberately did not let them enter the top three, and now seeing that these important ministers of the court have come to intercede, the emperor does not want to be told by them that he is unfair because of this matter, so he sighed and said: "Do you Aiqing know why I don't want them to enter the top three?" People like them, who are already aggressive before they enter the officialdom, may have been secretly hurt by others before they hurt others in the future, these young people do not know the depth of the rivers and lakes, and it is not a good thing for them to let their careers go too smoothly. ”
