Chapter 120: The Friendship of Gentlemen Is as Light as Water (3)
Du Chenliang snorted coldly, and then took the big eunuch beside him into the examination room first.
The examination is arranged in the Gongyuan, which is roughly divided into the east examination room and the west examination room, Du Weizhen goes to the west examination room, and Du Chenliang is the east examination room.
The bell rang outside the door, and the exam began, Mu Shengbai followed Du Weizhen into the west examination room, and the minister who came from inside silently saluted Du Weizhen, and then went to inspect the candidates.
It was very quiet inside, only the rustle of the pen on the paper could be heard, Mu Shengbai's eyes slid over their faces, but he found a lot of talents that he mentioned to Du Weizhen, among which he paid the most attention to Gu Yeyang, who was also particularly eye-catching among the many candidates with extraordinary temperament.
Du Weizhen naturally noticed it, for fear of being seen, he didn't go out of his way to stand next to him, but occasionally glanced at it when he walked by, the person's handwriting was extremely delicate, and people couldn't help but feel good when they saw it, but they didn't know what the talent was.
Nine days later, the exam officially came to an end, followed by the revision of the papers and the final fateful palace exam.
Du Weizhen presided over the correction of the test papers in the west examination room, and the next day he got Gu Yeyang's exam papers, and at a glance, the handwriting was beautiful and unsmeared, and the impression was good, but after the correction, he decided to be a little disappointed.
Gu Yeyang's level can only be called lower than average among these candidates, this kind of person who is less than the upper than the lower can barely pass in the past, but the level of this year's candidates is extremely high, and he thinks that there are several who are expected to become Huiyuan, and Gu Yeyang can't be compared at all.
Du Weizhen sighed, because this person was highly recommended by Mu Shengbai, and he was looking forward to it, but he didn't expect the level to be so poor, but Shengbai looked away.
Gu Yeyang naturally fell off the list, and on the day he finished correcting the exam papers, Du Weizhen told Mu Shengbai, and he was a little surprised.
didn't wait for Mu Shengbai to go to Gu Yeyang, but he came to the door.
"Young master, there is a candidate surnamed Gu outside the door who came to look for you, saying that he was here to say goodbye." On this day, he was in the study admiring the autumn sunset leaves of Tang Bo's Mansion, and Huang Lai knocked on the door and came in.
As soon as he said that his surname was Gu, the figure of Gu Yeyang immediately appeared in his mind, Mu Shengbai wanted to go to the restaurant to find him in the afternoon, but he didn't expect him to come to the door by himself and ask Huang Lai to take him directly to the study.
"Raw white." As soon as he saw Mu Shengbai, he grinned, revealing a mouthful of teeth, and his eyes were white.
"How did you find it?"
Gu Yeyang scratched his head embarrassedly and blushed shamefully, "I didn't even count down to the exam this time, I wanted to play in the imperial city for a few days, but my father sent several letters in a row, telling me not to stay in the imperial city if I have nothing to do so as not to cause trouble." That's why I'm here to say goodbye to you today. ”
Mu Shengbai didn't expect him to be such a thin-skinned person, a little funny, and heard that he was going to go home, and he was a little reluctant to let go of such a talent, although he may not be as knowledgeable as others, but in terms of observation, Mu Shengbai has not found anyone better than Gu Yeyang.
His mind was moved, he coughed a few times, and asked, "Then I don't know if Yeyang is willing to continue to stay in the imperial city." ”
Gu Yeyang smiled heartily, "Of course I am willing, the Imperial City is really much better than my family, I also want to show my ambitions here, after all, who doesn't want to be famous in history, but now I don't even have a countdown, and there is nothing to do here, my father must want me to go back and help manage the shop." Big deal, three years later, it's a good guy again. ”
"If you want to do it, you will be able to achieve your ambition in less than three years." Mu Shengbai looked at him with blazing eyes, his voice was firm, and he landed soundly, which made people can't help but be bewitched.
Gu Yeyang's eyes lit up, and he was very excited, "Really? ”
Just at the kung fu that Mu Shengbai showed when he fought with that assassin, Gu Yeyang could be sure that he was absolutely extraordinary.
Mu Shengbai's chin was slightly raised, domineering and leaking, "Naturally! ”
Gu Yeyang responded enthusiastically, "I'm willing to follow you!" I'll send a message to my dad later. ”
Mu Shengbai was very happy in his heart, Gu Yeyang's talent must be used by him.
He arranged for Gu Yeyang to live in Mu Mansion, and specially asked people to clean a courtyard, and Gu Yeyang happily brought over the few luggage.
After packing up his things, he enthusiastically wrote a letter to his father, saying that he was not going home, and that he was going to make a world out of the imperial city, so that he could be proud of himself.
When the carrier pigeon was released, Gu Yeyang felt a burst of happiness, and there was also an expectation for the future, what is the intrigue in the shopping mall, if you want to break through, you have to go to a broader world.
The palace examination was held four days after the release of the list, and there were two rows standing on the Luoyang Palace, which were divided into the west examination room and the east examination room, and the first ones were the crown prince and the second prince.
This palace examination was personally inquired by Emperor Jing Yuan, and after some time, the ranking of the candidates selected by Du Weizhen was obviously better than that selected by Du Chenliang.
And these candidates will have a greater chance of favoring the examiners selected by them in the future, and after the palace examination was over, Du Chenliang walked out of the Luoyang Hall with a cold face, and even ignored Du Weizhen greeting him.
Du Weizhen, who was ignored, was not angry, but was very happy, this time he was obviously superior, and even the champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua were all from the West Examination Hall, which made him not happy.
knew that Du Chenliang, who was unhappy in his heart, would definitely make him a stumbling block, but Du Weizhen didn't mind at all, these were just small fights, and it was a good time for him to show his skills when the people he selected were growing up.
"This Du Weizhen is really a sycophant, all the people selected are in line with his father's wishes, and he has no other skills, this ability to cater to people is first-class and strong, otherwise he must not even be able to get the position of the prince!" Du Chenliang returned to the dormitory and lost his temper, and all the objects in the palace suffered again.
When he was angry, a few officials standing outside just came in, and the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked official said: "Your Highness, the prince's approach is correct, after all, there is no one in a position who does not like to be praised and stuttered, and will favor people who are in line with his heart, you don't have to be so angry, in fact, you can do it Your Royal Highness." ”
Du Chenliang didn't know this truth, but he couldn't hold his breath in his heart, and said coldly: "You will not be happy to make Du Weizhen for His Highness in the court, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in His Highness's heart." ”
Those officials naturally responded in a loud voice, after all, they and the prince's side were originally-for-tat, and they didn't need Du Chenliang to tell them to do the same.
This time, the smell of the court became stronger and stronger, but Emperor Jingyuan let them come as if he hadn't seen it.
