Chapter 515: Drama
"Danyao, Fifth Five, is this all you think of?" The emperor's eyes were slightly dark.
Wei Yechen's intuition was wrong, and his heart couldn't help but tense, "Erchen just thinks that his father is now in his prime, and many things in the court still need to be won by his father." ”
The most taboo thing for the emperor is to say that he is old, and it is taboo for others to say that he is old.
And the emperor is in power at the moment, the Spring and Autumn Period is at its peak, whether it is a civil and military official, or a prince as a son, in the face of the emperor, it is with the most cautious attitude to do things for the emperor.
Even if Wei Yechen felt that he was very close to the position under the emperor's buttocks, it was impossible for him to imply that the emperor was old at this time.
"Old Five, you don't want to disappoint me." The emperor said this meaningfully, his eyes were dark and deep, making it impossible to tell what his mood was at the moment?
Wei Yechen was not only nervous at this moment, but even the skin on his body was tense.
He had already understood what the emperor was saying, and it was clear that he was warning him.
Wei Yechen was puzzled, he didn't understand what he did wrong, so much so that he asked the emperor to warn him in front of Wei Zeyin.
"The son will not disappoint his father." Wei Yechen gathered his mind and said respectfully towards the emperor.
The emperor's eyes were dark, and he didn't say anything more about this matter, but changed the topic and asked about the imperial examination.
Wei Yechen breathed a sigh of relief and talked eloquently about the imperial examination.
The emperor listened carefully, and from time to time commented on what he said.
The father and son were in the whole study, asking and answering, which was really happy, and the father was kind and filial.
Wei Zeyin was directly isolated, waiting quietly, until it was getting dark and the emperor asked the imperial dining room to prepare meals, and the emperor seemed to suddenly think of him.
"Third child, what do you think of the imperial examination questions this time?" The Emperor asked nonchalantly.
When Wei Yechen heard this, he glanced at Wei Zeyin, and said with a light smile: "Father, the third brother went to Yangzhou City to solve a flood, this time the imperial examination questions, the third brother may use the flood to test those students." However, Erchen felt that instead of using the flood disaster to let the students take advantage of it, it was better to directly use other natural disasters to let the students find a way to give a solution. Let the court decide the merits and inferiority, and when the students are admitted to the Jinshi, they will sharpen their minds according to their answer sheets, and then send them to be officials outside. ”
Every time the township examination paper is a topic for the emperor to decide after the court ministers have discussed.
Now that the emperor opened his mouth to ask Wei Zeyin, although Wei Yechen felt that the emperor was just asking, the selfish mentality in his heart made him suspect that what the emperor asked would make Wei Zeyin tear off a piece of power on his body.
So he spoke directly in front of Wei Zeyin, the purpose was to prevent Wei Zeyin from taking a lead.
Although the emperor was much more indecisive in the affairs of the queen mother, he was a decisive emperor after all, and he was also a good emperor who had insight into people's hearts.
This time, Wei Yechen's intention to speak first, he knew very well in his heart, but in order to hold Wei Yechen and let the secret guard stare at him and investigate more things, he didn't care about some of his innocuous actions and words at all.
On the contrary, he was very cooperative with Wei Yechen and asked Wei Zeyin, "The questions of the township examination must be pragmatic, only in this way can the students know the movements of the imperial court, and they can also think about their future after taking the imperial examination." ”
However, it is precisely because of this that the topic of the township examination must be discussed by many parties before it can be decided. Now the two of you, as the chief examiners of the township examination, have already announced to the world, and the students who have come from all over the world have already known your reputation. Now, the two of you have to formulate the questions for the township examination in a very short time. ”
When the emperor said this, his expression became a little lazy.
"Throughout the ages, what students care about most is to take the imperial examination and become a big official. Therefore, no matter what the exam is, the examiner must be fair and just, otherwise it will cause the anger of students all over the world, which will definitely be a major matter for the court. ”
Although the emperor's words were not hurried, and he didn't even have a tone of intonation, Wei Zeyin and Wei Yechen heard some warnings from these words.
Wei Zeyin secretly exhaled turbidity, and then bowed his hand to the emperor and said respectfully: "Erchen understands what his father means, please rest assured that Erchen will make this imperial examination fair and just, and will never let people interfere in the imperial examination." ”
When Wei Yechen heard this, he only felt very unhappy in his heart.
Because he planned to take advantage of this imperial examination to secretly restrain some scholars for his own use, but now as soon as Wei Zeyin's words came out, even if he had many plans in his heart, I am afraid that under Wei Zeyin's nose, he could only hide it and dare not move at all.
Wei Yechen thought about it at this point, and suddenly felt very depressed.
At the same time, I also felt that the emperor let Wei Zeyin become the chief examiner of the imperial examination with him, maybe it was not the meaning.
"Please rest assured that the emperor will definitely hold this imperial examination with the third brother to send fresh blood to the court."
Wei Yechen quickly restrained his emotions and changed his thoughts.
Hearing this, the emperor chuckled at him and said, "There have been many things in the past, which were done by you alone, but this time you have to work well with the third child to do this perfectly." I am waiting to see your brothers join forces, so that the civil and military officials can take a look at the scene of your brothers, friends and brothers. ”
As soon as the words brother, friend and brother gong came out, Wei Yechen had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, but more of them were a little sneering at the emperor's words.
The children of other families can't be complete brothers and sisters, let alone the most competitive royal family.
However, the elderly emperor, facing his civil and military officials and even his son, naturally hopes to see a happy scene.
Wei Yechen, as a person who has the heart to approach that position, is naturally willing to sell a good one in front of the emperor and please a good one.
So when the emperor saw that it was not early and left the two of them to eat in the imperial study, Wei Yechen acted like a good brother, and kept asking Wei Zeyin what dishes he liked and what dishes he didn't like to eat.
The emperor sat on a high seat and watched his every move, the smile on the corner of his mouth never diminished, but the depth in his eyes became deeper and deeper.
Wei Zeyin, as the elder brother who is cared about by his younger brother, is naturally very cooperative in front of the emperor.
After a dinner, Wei Zeyin and Wei Yechen said goodbye to the emperor and went out of the imperial study.
Wei Yechen snorted even more coldly: "Third brother, my younger brother really didn't see it, you can also act like this in front of your father." ”
