After everyone finished discussing, they dispersed, and the jacket took Li Deshan to leave the Prime Minister's Yamen and returned to the Yanguo Mansion, but he did not go directly to the back house, but sat down in the outer study in front.

And Li Deshan naturally took a group of eunuchs and waited for Jia Ke before and after.

When Li Deshan was directing the eunuchs to deliver water to Jia Ke's single tea, suddenly Jia Ke asked: "Little Lizi, you said that tomorrow in the Golden Palace, where are we sitting?" ”

Li Deshan was suddenly asked by Jia Ke, and he was a little stunned.

Master, what does this mean? Tomorrow in the Golden Palace, does the master still want to have a seat?

Although Li Deshan thought a lot in his head, he didn't show it on his face, and immediately took Jia Ke's words.

"Master, even if the emperor is not there, you will preside over the palace examination on your behalf, and the slave may as well set up another seat for you next to the emperor's throne."

Jia Ke nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, not to mention that the emperors from ancient times to the present have favored eunuchs, just with their cleverness, who doesn't like it.

"Okay, you can arrange this matter."

When Li Deshan heard this, he immediately assured Jia Ke with a smile, "Don't worry, master, I will arrange the slaves and ensure that things are done beautifully." ”

Jia Ke nodded, and then went back to the back house with a smile behind his back.

Li Deshan kept bowing and waited for Jia Ke's back to disappear before he dared to stand up.

Now Li Deshan is also a little excited, it seems that the organization's mind is becoming more and more obvious, so in the future, I am afraid that he will be in the same position as Dai Quan or Xia Shouzhong.

Li Deshan was intoxicated there for a while, and immediately sobered up, and he had to go to the palace tonight to finish the matter for the master, otherwise the master would be annoyed and there would be nothing.

So Li Deshan didn't dare to slack off, and took a dozen eunuchs and seven or eight guards out of the Yanguo Mansion and came to the palace gate.

The guard at the gate of the palace naturally knew where Li Deshan dared to stop him, so Li Deshan directly came to the Wenhua Hall where he presided over the palace test.

After Li Deshan entered the Wenhua Palace, he looked up.

I saw a dragon chair and a dragon book case on the imperial steps.

Li Deshan slowly walked up the imperial steps, turned around a few times near the dragon book case, and found that there was indeed no place to put anything else.

So Li Deshan kept going, and ordered his eunuchs to move the dragon book case to the apse.

Then Li Deshan moved another golden chair and placed it next to the dragon chair in the middle, and put a small bookcase in front of the golden chair. Then put the four treasures of the book on the bookcase.

After everything was arranged, *** went down the imperial stairs again, looked left and right, and found that there was nothing wrong, so he nodded.

These eunuchs who followed Li Deshan, looking at Li Deshan's arrangement, were a little inexplicable.

Li Deshan didn't care about the troubles of these people, and after leaving the Wenhua Palace, he returned to the Yanguo Mansion and went to Jia Ke to return his life.

Besides, on the second day, when the palace examination was about to start, the emperor was already dressed in the Qianqing Palace at this time, and he was waiting for someone to lead him to the Wenhua Palace to preside over the palace examination.

In the emperor's impression, no matter what this palace test is, Jia Ke has to let himself show his face.

How do you know that he waited for a long time and didn't see anyone coming, the emperor was a little anxious at this time, because he was now in the Wenhua Palace, and he had to wait in the apse to prepare, and he had to have some etiquette before he could go to the front to preside over the palace test.

The emperor was very anxious, but it was not easy for him to show his face, so he left the Qianqing Palace and took a few eunuchs to the direction of the Wenhua Palace.

Who knew that they had just left the palace gate of the Qianqing Palace, and they were stopped by the guards.

"Long live, the prime minister has a life, long live for no reason, don't break in, please stay in the harem."

Hearing these unkind words, the emperor calmed down his anger and said calmly: "I am going to Wenhua Hall to preside over the palace examination today, didn't Jia Aiqing inform you?" ”

The guard said expressionlessly: "If you go back to the Long Live Lord, the ministers have not received a military order, and please go back to the harem to recuperate, don't embarrass the ministers and others." ”

Now the emperor has understood that this Jia Ke will not let himself go to the Wenhua Hall to preside over the palace examination at all.

The emperor flicked the sleeves of his robe angrily and returned to the Qianqing Palace with a few eunuchs.

After the emperor returned to the Qianqing Palace, he walked back and forth in the dormitory, constantly smashing things.

And the little eunuch of 4 weeks looked at the emperor's crazy appearance, and they all stood aside and trembled and didn't dare to talk to him.

The emperor vented, and then calmed down, and then said to these eunuchs: "Set up the Fengzao Palace, and I'm going to see how the concubine is doing." ”

Not to mention that the emperor went to look for Jia Yuanchun, at this time, there were already guards all over the front of the Wenhua Palace, and gongs and drums were ringing in unison.

The etiquette in front of the current Wenhua Palace is the same as when the emperor personally participated in the palace examination.

And now the four ministers of military aircraft in the Wenhua Palace, as well as the secretary of the ministry, Zhao Shu and other ministers are also waiting there.

When they saw the decorations on the imperial steps, they understood what was going on, and each showed a mysterious smile, only Old Meng Ming was silent.

And Liu Wan, the head of the household, saw this situation and a cold light appeared in his eyes, but he covered it up very well, and immediately turned his head to the side as if nothing happened.

After a while, Jia Ke came to the Wenhua Palace, so several ministers hurried over to salute Jia Ke.

Jia Ke nodded to them, and then looked up the imperial steps, only to see another golden chair placed next to the emperor's throne, and a small bookcase in front of it.

Seeing such an arrangement, Jia Ke was satisfied, and then came directly to the top of the imperial staircase and sat on the golden chair.

After Jia Ke sat down firmly on the golden chair, he said to the ministers below: "Then let's start." ”

As soon as Jia Ke gave the order, there were immediately dozens of little eunuchs, who kept carrying the tables and chairs, and after a while, the Wenhua Hall was full.

Then Sun Yan, the minister of military aircraft, bowed to Jia Ke, and then walked out of the Wenhua Hall to the outside, and said to the tribute students who had been waiting there for a long time: "The palace examination is about to begin, and all the students are rushing in, and they must not make noise. ”

So these tribute students standing outside the hall, under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, quietly and orderly entered the Wenhua Palace, and then stood in front of the crime in order.

When these people first came in, they were still trembling, after all, they were going to take the exam in person in front of the emperor this time, how could they not be frightened.

But when they came in, they saw that the throne in the middle was empty, and that there was another seat beside it, and a young minister was seated.

At this moment, these people muttered in their hearts, what is going on? The palace test was not even attended by the emperor in person, which was the first time in thousands of years.

Sun Yan saw that the tribute students had already stood up, and came out of the class and said to them: "The emperor occasionally can't look at things in the cold, so he specially appointed Yan Guogong and Prime Minister Jia Ke to take the palace test, and the tribute students still don't pay homage." ”

The tributes below all looked at each other, not knowing what to do, after all, this was not in accordance with the rules, and no one had seen such a thing for thousands of years.

But after all, most of these people are also smart people, they originally heard that Jia Ke monopolized the government, and now they see that the emperor is useless, since this is the case, it is better to take refuge in the new master.

Immediately, more than 100 people fell to their knees and saluted Jia Ke.

When the rest of the people saw that most of them were kneeling, they slipped away, so the companies all knelt on the ground and saluted Jia Ke.

Jia Ke looked at this situation and nodded with satisfaction. It seems that this time I want to choose someone who is old and respectful, if it is Leng Touqing, I am afraid that I will not be able to come to the stage today.

Jia Ke now pretended to be idle, he got up from the golden chair, went to the middle of the imperial steps, and said to the tribute students below, "All the tribute students, please get up." ”

When these Gongsheng heard Jia Ke's words, they stood up again.

Jia Ke saw them stand up, and then continued: "Today is the selection of materials for the country, I hope that everyone will do their best and not be negligent. ”

As if they had been trained, the tribute students below bowed their hands together and said, "Obey the orders of the Prime Minister." ”

So Jia Ke nodded and returned to the golden chair, and said to Sun Yan below: "It's time to start the exam." ”

So Sun Yan stood in the middle again and said to the tribute students below, "All the tribute students, please take a seat." ”

So the Gongsheng rushed to sit down on the chairs next to them, ready to start the exam.

Jia Ke then took out a sealed envelope from his sleeve and said to Zhao Shu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites: "The test questions are here, you can take them." ”

Li Deshan, who was next to Jia Ke, respectfully took the envelope, went down the imperial stairs and came to Zhao Shu's side, his hands raised high.

Zhao Shu didn't dare to slack off, and bowed down to take the envelope. Then the envelope was opened in front of these people.

Zhao Shu looked at the envelope, and there was only one exam question on it.

After reading it, Zhao Shu took a few steps forward, and then shouted to the bottom: "Ancient Zen let, can you settle the world?" ”

The tribute students below were even more frightened when they heard this exam question, and there was no longer any cover-up.

Some of the candidates secretly raised their eyes to look at these ministers standing under the imperial stairs, and saw that they all looked natural, and they didn't think there was anything unusual.

So they knew that it seemed that this was already controlled by Jia Ke, and since this was the case, what scruples did they have.

So some candidates began to work hard to write, since there were other people who took the lead, they naturally didn't want their fame and fortune to become a cloud from now on, so they put away their minds and started the exam.

Jia Ke sat on top and looked at the candidates below, and nodded in his heart. It seems that these people have come to terms with reality.

And Sun Yan and the others, who were standing under the imperial steps, were now relieved, these tributes did not make trouble, which was really lucky.

Originally, Sun Yan was still thinking about what he should do with it if there were one or two Leng Touqing? It's okay now.

Then the time began to pass slowly, and the tribute students below also calmed down from the initial panic, and now they were wholeheartedly focused on the exam questions.

Jia Ke sat on the golden chair on the imperial steps, watching the tributes below contemplating and thinking there, or writing hard, and couldn't help but stand up and walk down the imperial steps, shuttling among these tribute students.

Jia Ke didn't know any of these people, and the only one he knew was Dong Li, who spoke for him in the Zhuangyuan Building.

So Jia Ke walked a few steps to Dong Li's side, and stood behind him to see what he had written.

And Dong Li had already found that there was a person standing next to him, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Jia Ke, so he quickly stood up and wanted to salute Jia Ke.

Jia Ke waved his hand and asked him to continue answering the question, and Dong Li sat on the seat again, but now he began to feel apprehensive in his heart, and he couldn't give up a word for a long time.

Seeing this, Jia Ke knew that if he didn't leave, that Dong Li might not be able to write a word, so he had to return to the top of the imperial staircase. At this time, Dong Li calmed down and began to write on the scroll again.

Time flies quickly, and the sun is setting, this time the exam has been from morning to evening, and it could have stopped at noon, but where can these candidates leave? I was afraid that I would make a mistake in my exam, so I stiffened up until the evening.
