The triennial spring festival, the imperial court talent ceremony.

The imperial examination system has not been reformed for a long time, and the black hands of the powerful people from all parties are habitually eager to try.

The relatively traditional routine is to set up a banquet and hold a cultural meeting, in which those who are willing to be attached to each other, or have connections and interests, escort them in various ways, help them get on the list, and aid them to the DPRK.

At the beginning of the restructuring, the priority of the family gate valve was cut off, and the power to recommend and recommend the powerful was gradually limited.

Up to now, the imperial examination system has been complete, the examiners and the affairs officials are separated, and the interference of the powerful families has been successfully eliminated, from the beginning of the local examination, the selection scope is limited to the Qingliu court officials and literary celebrities, most of the examiners are concentrated in the Hanlin Academy and the Guozijian, and the affairs officials are mostly selected by the Chunguan Yamen.

Once the benefits brought about by the new system are generated, a new circle of vested interests will be formed, which will spontaneously defend the system, distribute the benefits within the circle, and exclude outsiders from reaching out to intervene.

At the beginning, Song Zhiwen, the official servant of Chun, was in charge of Chunyu, because of his notoriety, he was fortunate to be attached to the inner curtain, and he was collectively boycotted by the Qingliu court officials, so that he could not serve for a while, and the official position was lower than him, Gongju Lang Zhonglin Gu, who was born in Jinshi, had a clean net worth, and was the same year as the imperial historian Ge Hui, and had the right to plan the fame and blessing in the Shilin literary circle, and his duties were smooth and deserving.

For this reason, this year's Spring Expedition has made the magnates who operate according to the usual routine run into walls everywhere, which is quite tricky.

Taichu Palace, Shuangyao City, East Palace.

Wei Xun, who was already white, found a reason to report the matter of the late crown princess Wei's tomb and entered the palace to ask for a meeting.

According to etiquette, I had to go to see the crown prince Li Xian first.

Wei is dead, the cause of death is still so unbearable, Li Xian is hit very hard, and he is more and more depressed, coupled with the lack of Wei's control, he simply gets drunk and dreams to death, indulges in sensuality, wantonly selects beautiful women to enter the East Palace, and makes up all the side positions of concubines such as the crown prince and Fengyi Baolin.

He was impatient to see outsiders, and handed over the official affairs and internal affairs of the East Palace to Li Chongjun, the king of Yixing, and Li Bao'er, the lord of Anle County, and a pair of children, and ignored them.

Hearing that Wei Xun asked to see him, after all, he was his uncle, so Li Xian made an exception to see him.

Wei Xun raised his eyes to look at him, then lowered his head, and reported the relevant matters dryly, without raising his head again.

His eyes were blank, his face was pale, and he was depressed, and after sitting for a while, he lay on his side on the couch, obviously his body had been hollowed out.

Wei Xun was inexplicably a little sad, just for the sake of this bright yellow royal nobleman in front of him, he once pretended to be crazy and stupid, once went to prison, once humiliated, and now he has lost his official position, his cousin is the crown princess, and he also died in the whirlpool of power struggle.

"Your Royal Highness, please also mourn and change, and protect your body, you are the second prince of the country, everyone is watching, looking up from all over the world, and there must be no damage" Wei Xun sincerely advised.

No matter how much Li Bao'er and others can toss, after all, they still have to use Li Xian's banner to gather people's hearts, Li Xian has three long and two short, no matter how hot the fight is, it is just a void.

Li Xian glanced at him, laughed, pulled out a series of coughs, and waved his hand, "You go down and tell Bao'er that her mother's family can be taken care of more, maybe it will be useful."

Wei Xun's eyebrows jumped, and he wanted to say something, but he only saw the back of Li Xian's hand behind him, slowly walking away towards the dark inner room.

"Hey......" Wei Xun sighed.

Before he walked out of Li Xian's dormitory, Li Bao'er's personal palace maid Yunnu was already waiting outside.

"County Lord, Confucianism is unreasonable, the progress is quite unsmooth, I recently wooed a person, and this morning was exposed by my colleagues, Lin Gu quickly fired that person, almost ruined" Wei Xun came to report, it is not good news, they Jingzhao Weishi attacked from all sides, held a banquet, entertained the children to be examined, the purpose is to win people's hearts, but the people's hearts are caged, but they can't get on the emperor's list, isn't it a big joke?

Li Bao'er combed the woman's fallen horse bun, and there was a layer of frost on her sweet face, "It's just that we are like this?" What about the princess? How are they progressing? ”

Wei Xun's face was embarrassed, "Princess Qianjin did not contact the tribute examiner, and after the date of entry was set, she stopped contact with the lifters, and many people in the literary world praised it, saying that she knew the rules and knew the general situation."

"Bah," Li Bao'er spat angrily, "She rolled onto Quan Ce's bed, who doesn't know?" Qingliu Shilin, there are many dog legs of Quan Ce, echoing insects, she can't blow him to the sky, why does she bother to contact him privately? took a big advantage, but did not forget to set up a good archway, really shameless"

Wei Xun hung his head and didn't dare to answer.

Li Bao'er vented her anger, calmed down, and asked, "Have you ever contacted Song Zhiwen?" Is there any progress? ”

For the progress in this regard, Li Bao'er is confident, since Lin Gu presided over the Spring Festival, Song Zhiwen's small actions have not stopped, all kinds of nonsense, nitpicking, beckoning a lot of fox friends and dog friends to impeach him, taking advantage of his unwillingness, will definitely be able to make progress.

However, Wei Xun's face did not improve in the slightest, and he said cautiously, "Song Zhiwen is quite positive, but his influence is extremely limited, and he can't influence the examiner, he took the initiative to convey the matter to Heng Guogong, it is said that ...... was scolded so bloody, according to my analysis, when Hengguo Gong sacrificed Song Zhiwen and transferred the power of Chunfu to take charge, he should have reached an agreement with Quan Xiangye, and the people on the list should have their share, so they have no intention of causing trouble."

Li Bao'er's forehead was bruised, and she laughed sharply, "Hahaha, okay, there are no good people in Hongdong County"

"Since there is no convenient passage to go, there is only a muddy road, in short, this branch of spring, must have something to gain"

Wei Xun has a good understanding in his heart, and as a last resort, crooked ways are always unavoidable.

"Uncle, Wei Juyuan and Wang Tongjiao have just taken up their new positions, their foothold is not stable, Yang Siqiao is in the army, and Shen Yan is in the local area, you can't be in a hurry for the time being, your niece and daughter will not forget you" Li Bao'er changed his title, and said a few words of reassurance.

Wei Xun waved his hand again and again, and said with a wry smile, "It's really not a hurry to recover, it's useless to say anything, I'm really afraid of this court, eating people without spitting out bones, and it's okay to help outside the court...... In addition, I don't know ...... the King of Xinyang."

Li Bao'er raised his arm and stopped his inquiry, Wu Chongmin served as the left guard of the East Palace, which was originally a help given to him by Quan Ce, but the stars changed, and she and Quan Ce gradually drifted apart, which turned out to be the biggest constraint for her to rein in the East Palace's force.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mentioned that the clansmen of those concubines may be able to borrow one or two ......"

The two discussed secretly for a long time before Wei Xun said goodbye.

They didn't pay attention to the fact that the little chamberlain who was waiting in front of the temple gate had a dodgy look and a panicked expression.

When it was time for his shift, he went around and around and went to the Spring Fang.

Li Xian delegated power, nominally to Li Chongjun and Li Bao'er, but in fact, Li Chongjun didn't catch a single hair, so he simply moved to Chunfang, put on a posture of not fighting or grabbing, and left a reputation for being pure and studious.

"Spring? Dirt roads? Li Chongjun muttered this word, and Yingting's facial features gradually became hideous.
