Jia Ke originally wanted to agree with them, but suddenly remembered the young man who spoke for him in the restaurant.

Since a young one has been pulled up, it is nothing to have another one.

So Jia Ke said: "I heard that there is a man named Dong Li, who is very talented, why haven't you seen his scroll?" ”

The two examiners below, after listening to Jia Ke's words, glanced at each other, and finally Li Wenbin thought about it, stood up and said: "I still have some impression of this person that the lord said, although he answered this subject well, but his writing is still a little naïve, so the ministers did not choose him." ”

After hearing this, Jia Ke said directly: "I think this young man is good, so I chose him too." ”

After Jia Ke finished speaking, he directly added Dong Li's name to the list.

"When you go back, add this person's place of origin, etc., and there are so many people in this subject."

After Jia Ke finished speaking, he signed the list and returned the list to Zhang Chaoxin.

After Zhang Chaoxin and Li Wenbin took over the list, they took their leave and left.

After the two of them left, Jia Ke stepped off the bookcase and turned to a small table next to him, looking at the piles of exam papers on them, and fell into deep thought.

Jia Ke thought for a while, and then asked Li Deshan next to him, "Are any of these eunuchs under your command full of poetry and books?" ”

After Li Deshan heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Master Qiqi, among some of these people, there are indeed many people who are full of poetry and books. To make you laugh, even the minion I've read some New Year's books. ”

After Jia Ke listened, he asked with interest: "Aren't you people all poor in the family and only entered the palace on an errand?" How can you have money to study? ”

"If you go back to your master, although the slaves are poor at home, after entering the palace, they will be taught to read and write according to the rules, and even the best of them will be taught by the Jinshi of the court. I am also a little clever as a slave, and I have also studied with Wang Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy for a few years. ”

Jia Ke is now impressed by Li Deshan, but he didn't expect that these eunuchs also have some skills.

"In that case, you can choose five or six people for me, and re-check these exam papers for me to see if there are any mistakes in them."

After Li Deshan heard this, his heart kept jumping, it seemed that the lord was going to put some power on his eunuchs.

After Li Deshan got Jia Ke's order, he immediately left the hall, and after a while, he led the five eunuchs back to the hall where Jia Ke was doing business.

As soon as these people entered the hall, they immediately gave Jia Ke a kneeling salute.

Jia Ke looked at them, all of them were not very old, they looked quite ordinary, and there were no crooked melons and cracked dates.

"Do you want to know what you're for?"

"If you go back to the master, the minions and others don't know what the master commands."

"I heard Li Deshan say, a few of you are considered to be a little literate, next to this is the paper that will try some lifts this year, you will review it for me to see if there are any major mistakes."

After listening to Jia Ke's words, these eunuchs first kowtowed to Jia Ke again, then stood up and moved to the small desk, and then stood like that, and one of them picked up a scroll and began to echo.

And Jia Ke was not idle, he continued to review the folds under Li Deshan's service.

Until the time of the long light at night, Jia Ke stretched his waist, and when he looked back, these eunuchs were still there.

"Li Deshan, you will keep an eye on it here today, you must rehash all these volumes today, and you will call me back tomorrow morning."

"Don't worry, master, the minions are staring at them here without going anywhere today."

Jia Ke nodded and understood, and then went back to the house regardless of them.

After Jia Ke left, Li Deshan immediately folded his waist.

And the little eunuchs who were reviewing the exam papers, after finding that Jia Ke was gone, immediately put down the papers and came to Li Deshan together.

"Boss, do you have any explanation?"

"You have to pay attention to today's affairs, and the future of our people depends on this time."

"What do you mean, Chief? The boys still don't get it very well? ”

Li Deshan glanced at the little eunuch, and then said: "Stupid, isn't this meaning obvious?" Master, this means that he is testing us, as long as we do a good job this time, there will be more and more things in the future, and then it will be the time for our masters to take power. ”

These little eunuchs are only now suddenly enlightened.

The next morning, after freshening up in Jia Ke's mansion and having breakfast, when he was talking and laughing with Qin Keqing there, Li Deshan hurriedly came in from outside and stood next to Jia Ke respectfully.

Jia Ke saw him come in, so he asked, "Is everything done?" Is there anything wrong with the roll? ”

"When I returned to my master, the minions re-read the scroll and found nothing wrong."

Jia Ke nodded, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Zhang Chaoxin and Li Wenbin.

When Qin Keqing saw Jia Ke talking about business, he was about to say goodbye and leave.

Jia Ke stopped her again, "How is Qin Zhong during this time?" ”

Qin Keqing was a little surprised after hearing this, Jia Ke hadn't asked about Qin Zhong for a long time.

"What else can I do, my mind is not on reading, no matter how powerful Mr. is, it is useless."

Jia Ke nodded, this Qin Zhong himself has also sent someone to monitor him for a long time, and he has not found anything abnormal? Coupled with the hint in the Dream of Red Mansions, it seems that the little young master is not Qin Zhong, it should be someone else.

Jia Ke was thinking about something in his heart, and his face was not revealed at all, but seemed to be a little anxious after listening to Qin Keqing's words, "How can this work?" Does he really want to eat and wait for death like Baoyu? ”

Jia Ke thought for a while, "In two days, send Qin Zhong to Guozijian, where they are all scholars, and they live for a long time, if he doesn't learn to be a person, don't think about it." ”

Qin Keqing nodded, and did not object to Jia Ke's big intentions, although Qin Keqing loved this younger brother very much, but knew that Jia Ke was for Qin Zhong's good, let him suffer some hardships, and he would be able to make a difference in the future.

On this day, the day of the announcement was already crowded at the gate of the Gongyuan, and the lifters and their families were already impatient waiting there.

It wasn't until the third pole of the sun that I saw the side door of the Gongyuan open, and a person who looked like a five-rank official came out holding a roll of Huang Juan.

When the people at the bottom saw this, they immediately understood that this was to release the list, so they were all very excited and crowded forward.

These five-grade officials have also seen a lot of this kind of thing, and he waved his hand to a few officials next to him, and the people next to him naturally understood.

So five or six servants rushed forward, each with a burning stick, and kept beating them and driving them backwards.

The middle-aged official saw that the lifters had retreated, so Shi Shiran came to the wall and lifted Huang Juan high, and the two officials next to him naturally understood, they came over to take Huang Juan and hung it on the wall next to the tribute courtyard with a high pole.

Then the official turned around and entered the tribute court. Often, only a dozen or so officials were left there to maintain order.

Seeing that the official was gone, the candidates only dared to move forward again, and they stood under the imperial list one by one, carefully looking for the names on it.

So under this emperor list, life is revealed, and those who find a name on the emperor list are naturally ecstatic, and those who don't find a name, some hang their feet and chests, and some howl under the emperor list.

And Dong Li, who spoke for Jia Ke in the Zhuangyuan Building that day, thought that this time the exam was not very smooth, so he thought that he had fallen to Sun Shan this time, and now he just came to accompany his friends to watch the list together.

Who knows, but found his name on the emperor's list, although it is relatively low, but it is still on the list.

This made Dong Li a little strange while being happy, could it be that the candidates in this subject did not do the papers satisfactory? Even he can be on the list.

Before he could figure out what was going on, a few people who were good with him came over to congratulate him, and Dong Li took these people to the champion building again to drink after returning the salute one by one.

In the blink of an eye, three days after the release of the list arrived, and the next day was the day of the palace examination.

On the evening of this day, the emperor sat on the throne of the Qianqing Palace, thinking about how he should behave in the palace test tomorrow, so that Jia Ke would not be suspicious, and at the same time, let the prospective scholars who could take the test know their difficulties.

The emperor still has no intention of giving up, he still wants to rely on these newly obtained jinshi to establish some of his own wisdom, so as to make some preparations for the future turnaround.

Besides, Jia Ke was discussing the next day's palace test with Zhang Chaoxin and Li Wenbin, as well as his confidant ministers, Fan Kang, Sun Yan and others.

"My lord, tomorrow, I don't need to invite the emperor out of the palace to preside over the palace test."

As soon as Li Wenbin finished saying this, Zhang Chaoxin glanced at him in surprise, and then immediately objected: "No, the emperor has a big mistake, and now I have thought about it behind closed doors in the palace, so I don't have to bother him." ”

Jia Ke nodded now, he also thought that Zhang Chaoxin was right, but he didn't say anything immediately, but looked at Sun Yan.

When Sun Yan saw Jia Ke's gaze, he immediately came out of the class and said, "Master Zhang said it well, we are now at the time to weaken the emperor's prestige, and there is no need for him to be in the limelight in the palace examination." ”

Fan Kang kept nodding his head there, although he hadn't spoken yet, but the meaning was already very clear.

Jia Ke saw that his opinions had been unified, and he said directly: "In this case, tomorrow is like the world announcing that the emperor is cultivating in the harem and cannot participate in the palace examination, and I will take care of it." ”

After listening to Jia Ke's words, Fan Kang stood up and said: "Lord, if there is something that does not open your eyes tomorrow, and you offend in court, please put out the anger of the thunder for the time being, and don't lose your temper in the Golden Palace." ”

"I know this, we have just started to take power, it is inevitable that there will be a few unconvinced, or the new emperor, it is understandable to say a few unhappy words, this kind of thing can only be slowly consumed, not suppressed all at once."

Fan Kang is a little relieved now, although Jia Ke has become more and more self-respecting since he took charge of the world, he has also begun to mature politically.
