Several people present have been getting along with Zhu Youxiao for a while, and they know that His Majesty has never done things so simply, and some seemingly absurd things always hide unknown secrets behind them.

Once or twice, they may not understand, but if there are many times, how can they not understand.

After all, we have been together for so long, and things are not once or twice, obviously this time Your Majesty is not simply going to worship the ancestors, there must be other things to do.

Several cabinet members glanced at each other, and they all saw the caution in each other's eyes.

His Majesty wants to worship his ancestors, he must go to Fengyang, he wants to go to Nanjing, but a few of them feel that the place His Majesty is going to be Shandong, Henan, and the places where the earthquakes were.

I don't know why I had such an idea, but I couldn't hide it as soon as it came out.

For example, Sun Chengzong thinks so in his heart. So after hesitating for a moment, Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty is not in good health, it is better to wait until your body is well before going, otherwise the boat and car will be tiring, and the minister will not be at ease." ”

Looking at Sun Chengzong's concerned look, several other people also reacted.

Xu Guangqi said directly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Elder Sun Ge said is right. There is no rush to worship the ancestors, it is better to take care of the body before going. ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at a few people, nodded slowly, and then said, "What Aiqing said makes sense, but I am reckless." ”

"Then I'll wait until I'm well before I set off, but you should also prepare first, so as to save time and hurry."

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao leaned on the couch with a disgusted look.

The meaning is already very clear, that is, I have finished the matter, and now I don't want to deal with you, you can go. Several people looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly they had a bad premonition.

"The ministers are leaving." A few people spoke.

Although there was some hesitation in his heart, since it was already this time, it was naturally difficult to say anything more, so a few people turned around and walked out.

After leaving the palace, several people looked at each other, all of them were a little embarrassed, but no one spoke.

Several people are old foxes, and there are some things that naturally don't need to be said too much, and they can understand what they mean by looking at each other, obviously everyone feels that this time it seems that they have fallen into the hands of His Majesty.

What was supposed to be a question of deciding whether to go or not is now a question of when.

The previous question was decided to go without discussion at all, and as for the question of when to go, the decision was also left to His Majesty. When His Majesty's health is better, it is estimated that His Majesty's body is almost well.

Although they don't know how to deal with it, they are not fools themselves.

Your Majesty seems to have a habit of pretending to be sick, although everyone can't say it, but everyone has a little meaning in their hearts, so it seems to have been fooled.

But a few people can't say it, just understand it in their hearts, and it's a shame to say it.

"Arrange it well." Han Yi looked at a few people and said slowly: "Since Your Majesty is going to tour the south, we are powerless to stop it, so let's do things well and make a document as soon as possible." ”

"If Your Majesty leaves Beijing, how many people will be needed to follow, and who will stay in Nanjing, we will prepare all of these."

After hearing this, several people nodded hurriedly, and Xu Guangqi spoke: "Elder Han Ge, as a scholar of the first auxiliary university of the cabinet, naturally wants to stay in the capital, but we also need someone to accompany Your Majesty. ”

"Let's discuss the candidates when we go back?"

After Xu Guangqi said this, his eyes swept over the faces of several people. The meaning is obvious, Han Yi has no chance, let's study a few of them, right?

Regarding Xu Guangqi's words, Han Yi didn't say anything.

The reason is also very simple, because what Xu Guangqi said is very reasonable, he really doesn't have this opportunity. The first assistant scholar of the cabinet naturally wants to stay in the capital, and there is no room for negotiation at all.

However, the emperor is not in the capital, and if he comes to call the shots, he will naturally be valued by him.

"Let's go back and talk about it." Han Yi said with a smile.

His Majesty wanted to worship his ancestors, so he naturally couldn't hide it, and soon spread the news, which is also what Zhu Youxiao meant, of course, not to leave now, but to wait for some days.

After this news came out, Han Li instantly became the target of everyone's attention again.

Can this demon die if he doesn't do things for a day? So countless inscriptions entered the palace, all of which were impeached against Han Li, and it looked like he would not give up until he was killed.

Zhu Youxiao didn't look at this at all, how could Han Li deal with it.

For such a master, he must keep him, it is impossible to let him out, but the reward that should be given must still be given.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said to Chen Hong: "Take down these question books." ”

"Let the celebrant draw up a decree and reward Han Zhenren with a purple jade belt and a gold, jade, silver, and ivory seal. The plus sign is "Jing subtle Ji Shou meditation Zhenning Yuan Yan Fan Zhimo is sincere to a real person." ”

"Choose a mansion in the capital and build a real mansion."

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Chen Hong hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the slave maid immediately ordered them to do it." ”

"Alright, let's go!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.

If you favor Han Li, you must have the appearance of a favored trust, and you still have to give what you should give. Of course, it was only superficial, and if it was given now, it wouldn't reach Han Li's hands.

For example, he can't live in that mansion after it is built, after all, he has to accompany the king in the palace.

Although this matter is making a lot of noise, there is another thing in the capital that is also very attention-grabbing, that is, the imperial examination is released, this year's imperial examination is more weird, and there are many things that have made trouble.

First of all, the children of the academy were ostentatious, which caused many people to be dissatisfied.

It even caused a great conflict, and then the examiner came up with the question, and Xunzi's heaven was on the topic of the imperial examination, which caused a great storm of public opinion.

There are even students who make trouble in the capital, and it is said that many people were arrested by Jinyiwei.

Public opinion boiled for a while, and now it's finally time to release the list. Naturally, it attracted greater attention, and at the same time, the various yamen in the capital were also very nervous, because every time the list was released, it was the peak period of trouble.

Many people who don't get into the exam will question the unfairness of the imperial examination.

They will make trouble, so the people in the entire Yamen in the capital are very nervous.

Desheng Building is a relatively large restaurant in the capital, located not far from the Gongyuan. Every year, there are a lot of people waiting here to hear the news, but this year it has been taken over.

It was the students of the academy who made the shot, so it can be said that it was very generous.

Dozens of people from the academy who participated in the imperial examination were all chatting here, drinking tea, and waiting for the results in front. Although it seemed to be talking and laughing, everyone was nervous. Grave

In a private room on the second floor, there were several people sitting there.

The leader is Zhang Yu and Zhang Huizhi, and next to him are the Song brothers. There are also Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, and Wu Xiang. The most inconspicuous is Liu Xian, and several people are waiting for the results.

A few people didn't have the heart to talk, everyone was familiar with it, and they didn't want to do anything superficial, so the room was quiet.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the street outside.

Someone shouted loudly, saying that the list was released. For a while, the street was not lively, and several people glanced at each other, although their faces were calm, but they were still relatively anxious.

When faced with such a major life event, no one can be cautious enough.

There was a commotion outside, and I suddenly remembered the sound of the gong. Someone quickly ran over and shouted loudly, congratulations to Song Yingsheng Song Master High School in Fengxin County, Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province.

After hearing this shout, everyone in the room became excited.

Song Yingxing jumped up suddenly, turned his head to look at his brother, and said loudly: "Brother, you are in high school." He laughed out loud.

The others also laughed, obviously this time Song Yingsheng was promoted to Huiyuan, which was the pride of all of them.

For a while, the room was full of congratulatory voices, and Song Yingsheng sat there with a look of disbelief on his face. He thought about it when he was admitted, and it was incredible that he failed the list.

It's just that he took the first place in the exam, which Song Yingsheng didn't expect.

Soon the annunciation came, and the people around were all congratulators. The reward was given quickly, followed by the sound of the annunciation.

For the students of the college, they took advantage of this exam.

Because they usually learn these things in the academy, and the examiner is still their teacher, there is basically no such thing as failing to pass the exam, after all, this is not the second ranking, so it is not strange that you can pass the exam.

Soon the entire Desheng Building was full of Daoxi's voice, and many people were admitted.

After being admitted this time, when it comes to the palace examination, it is just the second ranking, although it is also very important, but it will not be deposed, and everyone present can step into the officialdom.

For a while, there was laughter and laughter upstairs in Desheng, but there were also people who didn't hit, and there were two days of joy and sorrow.

There were a few people in their small group, but no one fell off the list, plus Song Ying was promoted to the middle school Huiyuan, so it was naturally very festive for a while, and all the wine and food were placed on it, and the banquet started directly.

In the palace, Zhu Youxiao naturally got the news.

In this examination, 356 people were admitted, which is a relatively large number of people, of which 47 people were admitted to the college, which can be said to be very, very high.

Zhu Youxiao took the list and began to look for more familiar names on it.

According to Zhu Youxiao's memory, this time the imperial examination can really select some more useful talents, and the next thing is the palace examination, that is, to rank second, so I have to study it carefully.

It's important to see who is the champion.

As the days passed, the celebration of the capital never stopped, and soon it was the day of the palace examination.

The place where the temple test was held was in the Jianji Hall, and after roll call, scattering, worshipping, saluting and other rituals, Zhu Youxiao could only be a person who was a tool and cooperated with everyone.

After all the etiquette was completed, Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon chair and announced the start of the palace examination.

The palace examination is only a question of strategy, and the questions are prepared by the cabinet and then submitted to the emperor for selection.

This time he didn't do this, the topic was Zhu Youxiao, there was only one question, the test was policy theory, as for the topic. There are only a few words, and they are used to make the destiny of heaven.

After the question was posted, everyone looked at the question in front of them, some were happy and some were worried.

For the students of the academy, this question is not difficult, because this is the core idea of Xunzi, and there is no less study and practice on weekdays, so it is not difficult to write.

As for the rest of the people present, most of them didn't find it too difficult.

Because they can stand out from the exam, they naturally don't write irrelevant things. must also be Xunzi's believers, otherwise they won't be able to pass the test.

Most of these people present could find the vein.

Basically, they are all a few elders of the pavilion, even if they are not studying in the academy. Most of them are also the reserve forces of their respective factions, and the labels on their bodies are very obvious.

At the same time, it is also one of the previous imperial examinations, and the ideology is relatively unified.

Most of the people who are worried about it are also unfamiliar with the topic, or they don't know how to write it. After all, this concept is relatively large, and if it is not discussed well, nothing can be written.

Zhu You's effect is naturally impossible to accompany here, because the palace exam has to be taken for one day, and the papers are handed in at dusk.

This is naturally impossible for Zhu Youxiao to wait. He couldn't be here to accompany the gang for a day of exams, so after he had done what he had to do, he went back to rest.

He will not be used to select the test papers, he only needs the names of the last few names.

On the day of grading, 8 examinees will be handed over to the reading officer, each with a table, and they will be circulated in turn.

Add "○", "△", "1", "×" five kinds of marks, get the most "○" for the best volume, and then in all the volumes, select the most ten copies of the ten books to submit to Zhu Youxiao.

The first, second, and third places in the first class of the imperial approval by Zhu Youxiao are the champions, the eyes of the list, and the flowers.

Soon, all the test papers were corrected, and the 10 people who were selected were all sent to Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao circled the ranking of the exam.

The test paper was placed next to it, and Zhu Youxiao didn't look at it at all.

He took the list from Chen Hong's hand, and then began to look at the names of the people on the list. He saw Song Yingsheng, and this Huiyuan was naturally on this.

But the champion can't give him, give him a second.

His younger brother Song Yingxing was not there. It seems that he is not as good as his brother, but one of the two brothers is in the top three. That's enough.

is the candidate for Yu Zhuangyuan, and Zhu Youxiao soon saw a person. It also sets an example.

Lu Xiangsheng, the all-round talent in civil and military affairs is yours, let you get a champion, and you can reuse it in the future. The name of the imperial examination is too important for the promotion of officials, so Zhu Youxiao promoted Lu Xiang to a champion.

The 1st and 2nd places have been determined, so who is the right eye for the 3rd place?

After looking around, Han Li's gaze fell on a person's name.
