Chapter 397: The Palace Exam
The autumn examination is similar to the college entrance examination, that is, the age of the candidates, except for the students in places such as Guozijian who are slightly younger, other students from all over the world, one by one, up to sixty or seventy, down to one or twenty, one by one, carrying bags and squeezing into the examination room. In the autumn examination of the great sage, the first and second and third class of civil and military affairs met the emperor and were directly rewarded, and the others were casually assigned to local institutions to take up posts.
On the day of the autumn examination, the weather was clear and refreshing, and a carriage slowly stopped, and the white clothes won the snow and got down from the carriage, causing many students to stop and watch.
Su Jing bowed towards Shen Jinyi and stood
After the chief examiner Shen Jinyi finished talking about the rules of the examination room, he expressed the meaning that the Son of Heaven attaches importance to talents, and the students entered the cubicle and began to answer the questions.
"Lord Shen, this is my family's heirloom, you put some water on Xiaosheng, and Xiaosheng will give you this heirloom."
A candidate secretly dragged Shen Jinyi and wanted to bribe on the spot, but Shen Jinyi suddenly asked, "Ancestral treasure?" Thinking that when Xu Yanyu was pregnant before, Chu Yan once told her that she gave the ancestral treasure to Xu Yanyu. Hearing this, Shen Jinyi's face changed, he sneered twice, and left with his sleeves flicked up. That student, naturally, was also kicked out of the examination room. Still want to have a baby with him? Sick in the brain.
As soon as this incident came out, whether it was someone who wanted to bribe or someone who wanted to take a bribe, they all broke off this thought.
After two consecutive days of exams, in the end, it was decided that the top three had been released, as the Son of Heaven, Mu Yuanqi was going to summon them, have another palace test, and then seal the official. Mu Yuanqi wrote a congratulatory message of nearly 1,000 words, which probably read: "Everyone has worked hard, worked hard, with your efforts, it is finally the black hair that has been boiled into a sixtieth birthday, but I don't dislike you for being old, as long as you are loyal to me and the country, even if half a foot is in the coffin, it is no problem." β
The ministers looked at the top three in this autumn examination, the oldest was only in his thirties, and the youngest was only in his teens.
Xiao Dezi hugged the congratulatory text written by Mu Yuanqi, and continued to read: "I am a person, I like honest people, don't think about it if it's not yours, don't think about it, don't do it seriously, don't do it more, I understand you, oh, one thing is very important, don't do it against me, I look unhappy, I like to go crazy-"
After reading the thousand-word He Wen, the ministers also fell asleep a lot, Mu Yuanqi himself almost fell asleep, as soon as his head was a little, he heard a cough below, Mu Yuanqi suddenly came to his senses, and when he looked up, he found that Mu Zexi was already standing in the hands of hundreds of officials, looking at him quietly.
Mu Yuanqi's sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and he immediately got up. I can't wait to spray some chicken blood immediately to prove that I am very energetic.
"Your Majesty, I'm done."
Xiao Dezi put away the congratulatory text and reminded in a low voice.
Finished reading?
What's the next thing to do?
Oh, look at the looks, seal the official.
"Lift up your heads and let me see."
As soon as the top three with red flowers on their heads below looked up, Mu Yuanqi was stunned for a moment, pointed to the two people in the middle, and asked, "What are you two doing?" β
The two people who were finally identified were all known by Mu Yuanqi, Su Jing and Meng Yu. Mu Yuanqi thought about it, if Su Jing didn't pass the exam, he would think of a way to pick a thorn in the manor, and then transfer Su Jing in, but this time Su Jing was standing in front of him, but Mu Yuanqi was a little stupid.
"Back to Your Majesty, Su Jing, a grass citizen, was summoned to the palace to meet him, so he appeared here."
"Back to Your Majesty, the same is true for Meng Yu, the grass people."
The two replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, and the startled Mu Yuanqi was stunned, and Xiao Dezi squeezed his eyebrows on the side, but he didn't react at all.
"Your Majesty, these six people, explain the pillars of the country, Your Majesty should be rewarded."
Cao Xi of the Ministry of Rites reminded loudly, why did His Majesty look at it today, something was not quite right.
Mu Yuanqi came back to his senses, cleared his throat, and said, "Champion of civil and military affairs, take a step forward." β
Su Jing and Li Yan each took a step forward and saluted respectfully. Out of the corner of his eye, Mu Yuanqi caught a glimpse of Li He's face, but he was a little angry, his son was defeated by Wu Zhuangyuan, isn't he happy?
It doesn't matter if Li Hegao is unhappy, but Mu Yuanqi is happy, this group of people is not very old, which shows that there is still room for sharpening, so there is hope for re-washing the situation.
In the end, Mu Yuanqi wanted to put Su Jing in the Hanlin Academy according to the usual practice, but suddenly, Mu Zexi stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Su Jing's talent, the minister has some knowledge, and the minister asks to resign from the post of auxiliary minister, and Su Jing will take the position." β
As soon as Mu Zexi's words came out, the whole city was in an uproar, what did Prince Sheng'an mean by this, to be an idle prince in the future, and no matter what happened?
That's good.
No, not good.
There are pros and cons. However, looking at this Su Jing, the little thin appearance, can he suppress hundreds of officials?
The ministers' gossip thoughts rose again, this Su Jing, could it be someone from Mu Zexi, why does this Sheng'an prince value it so much?
Some people were puzzled, but naturally there were bold people who saw that something was not quite right, pointed at Su Jing, and said angrily: "Su Gongzi doesn't look like a man on his face." β
Everyone looked at it, hey, but no, this face is white and delicate, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a girl.
Su Jing stood there calmly, letting the eyes of those people spin on him. Suddenly, a figure swept in front of her, blocking her in front of her.
"Lord Shilang can see clearly, Su Jing is the champion and the first, the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, how can you discuss it at will!"
The person who spoke was Li Yan. Compared with two years ago, after two years of training, Li Yan's body is also stronger, his skin is tanned, wheat-colored, and quite masculine.
The person who spoke was pulled up by Li He, and naturally he was also Li He's person.
Su Jing was a little surprised, Li He was Li Yan's father, although the two were not in harmony, but why did Li Yan protect himself? His gaze inadvertently moved to Mu Zexi, who glanced at Mu Yuanqi who was seated and did not speak.
"You rolling calf, you are jealous when Su Jing looks younger, right?"
"Master Chen, you have wronged me by saying this, but Su Jing is young, but this appearance and face are too weak, and he doesn't look like a man."
"You are talking nonsense, the prince of Sheng'an recommended it, is it possible that it can still be a woman?"
ββΒ·
There are three kinds of people in the court: those who have interests, those who are stupid, and those who are wise.
Three kinds of people, each expressing their own opinions. If Su Jingruo is an auxiliary minister, it is a time bomb for those who have interests, and I don't know whether it can be controlled by them, or a person like the prince of St. Ann.
Mu Yuanqi's face turned pale, he restrained the smile on his face, got up slowly, and walked down the jade steps step by step, "I, since I ascended the throne, I am grateful for the care of your Aiqing. β
After saying a word, he walked up to Su Jing, dragged him to his side, pulled him to the minister who spoke, and said with a smile: "So, Aiqing's words, I, will think about one or two." However, if you take me for a fool, I am not so easy to bully. β
"The minister didn't dare to !!"
The minister who knelt down in a piece of the churn. Just kidding, even if you really take this little emperor for a fool, you can't say itββ!!
Mu Yuanqi dragged Su Jing, walked around the minister again, and suddenly smiled: "What Aiqing meant in his words just now, do you think that I can't even distinguish between men and women?" β
Su Jing was dragged by Mu Yuanqi like this, and a trace of emotion in his eyes quickly rose and quickly disappeared. The king, the minister, she has to distinguish clearly.
"Your Majesty, that's not what the old minister meant. Lao Chen just thinks that Su Jing does look like a woman, not to mention the Adam's apple, and a man, how can he be so charming? β
"Then you still suspect that I have a problem with my eyes, oops, what can I do, I am so young, I am suspected of having a problem with my eyes, tsk, where is the Imperial Doctor!!"
Suddenly, the crows were silent, except for Mu Yuanqi, no one dared to speak out loudly, and those who could reduce their sense of existence tried to reduce their sense of existence as much as possible.
The imperial doctor who gave Mu Yuanqi a pulse hurriedly rolled out, knelt on the ground, and trembled: "Your Majesty, the minister is here, the minister is here." β
Mu Yuanqi raised his eyebrows, turned to look at the imperial doctor, and said word by word: "Doctor Ma, are you guilty!! β
"Minister, minister is afraid, Your Majesty, minister, minister doesn't know what crime he has committed!!"
Doctor Ma Tai was not a timid person, but under Xie Yao's training, one or two of them could say two sincere words in a dignified manner, and carry forward the medical ethics. At this time, Mu Yuanqi asked, this imperial doctor is indeed confused, what mistake did he make?
Mu Yuanqi glanced at the minister who accused Su Jing, and pretended to be angry, "Some people say that my eyes are not good, as a doctor, you asked me for peace and order, but you didn't find it, it is regarded as a dereliction of duty!" β
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wronged, your eyes and ants are clearer than ordinary people, how can there be a problem!! Lord Xie, don't talk nonsense with your eyes open, you are cursing Your Majesty!! Your Majesty, the minister asked for severe punishment for this person, and this person had bad intentions towards His Majesty, and even cursed His Majesty for having a problem with his eyes, guilty, and a great crime!! β
All the ministers of the DPRK and China are all interest groups, and if their interests do not interfere with each other, they will be at peace, and if there is a conflict of interests, no one will harm their own interests.
"You fart, I didn't curse Your Majesty, Your Majesty's dragon body is healthy, I think you have bad intentions."
"You fart, I'm the Imperial Doctor, Your Majesty's health is my life, you want to kill me!!"

The two of you come and go, and they don't want to let each go, so they quarrel. Mu Yuanqi hugged his arms to watch a good show, until the two of them quarreled so much that Liang Hong's neck was thick, and he was about to move his arms and legs, so he slowly spoke: "I'm not dead yet, do you want to rebel!!! β
The word rebellion can be light or heavy. Yu Mu Yuanqi, casually talking and playing, is as easy as saying that the weather is really good today, and it is a big crime to exterminate the clan in the courtiers. So the two immediately covered their mouths and quieted down.
"Su Jing, he once slept in the same bed with me, is he a man or a woman, you know better than me!!"
As soon as the words fell, the courtiers became restless again, tsk, Your Majesty won't be a good man, right? This, this is all sleeping in the same bed!! Ouch, it's amazing!!
"A bunch of improper-minded things!! I saw that Su Qing was very knowledgeable, and he talked about interesting things with him, and he was quite touched, so he slept in the same bed, and all of you were thinking about your concubine or the bed warmer? None of them are serious. β
Well, since His Majesty the Emperor has guaranteed that Su Jing is a man, who of them would dare to doubt it?
However, the first to eat crabs are not good. Mu Yuanqi was furious, and on the grounds that the minister slandered and disrespected the officials of the court, he demoted him by three levels, and then dragged him out and beat him, and then he went down to the court.
Anyway, this unlucky bear child who ate crabs was beaten by his daughter-in-law again after returning home: Grandma is a useless thing, the old lady spent so much money to buy you an official, and she has risen all the way to this point, and you are a girl who has played with the old lady in a word? See if the old lady doesn't kill you!!
When the temple tries a country, a few families rejoice, and a few sorrow. The most sorrowful is Mu Yuanqi.
Auxiliary Minister? Su Jing?
So, Sixth Brother is this, are you leaving?
Thinking of this, Mu Yuanqi's heart was not happy, and after the next dynasty, he locked himself in the study and didn't see anyone in the morning.
