Chapter 391: The Imperial Examination in England

PS: Ask for votes, ask for recommendations. Push the book, the eagle banner of Epirus, Rome in the thirteenth century, like to see.

In this way, Edward took a look at the pretty Mary. Hamiston took another look at the black stupid bear in front of him, sighed, and then went on with his fishing business.

As soon as he sat down and was about to start, the stupid bear arched his clothes and looked like he wouldn't give up.

"Mary, get it away!" In desperation, Edward turned around and said to Mary on the side.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Mary snapped in agreement, and then pulled her two white jade arms by the stupid bear's ears and pulled them back.

The stupid bear endured the pain, and looked directly at Edward, which was full of pleading expressions, and stepped back one by one, looking extremely pitiful.

The reason why it allows red-haired Mary to pull her ears is mainly because Stupid Bear has been fed by several Marys since he was adopted by Edward, and he is very familiar.

Edward didn't appreciate it at all, and went about his own fishing business.

"Your Majesty, this is new information!" At this moment, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old came from among the guards and whispered into the young king's ear.

"Oh! Is it? Edward took the note from his hand, looked at it carefully, and muttered softly.

On the note, it was recorded in detail that yesterday Adler. Todd's situation after returning home, to this, Edward smiled, and said casually:

"Well, it seems that my banker's attitude is pretty good!"

He turned his head and looked at the young face of Jack, the head of the palace intelligence department, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Young is good!

"In the future, the supervision of him must continue, do not relax, the Jews are still unreliable, you have to remember!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jack's grim face showed a hint of surprise, and then immediately agreed.

"By the way, how many of those officials in England have gone to Ireland recently!"

Looking at Jack's face, Edward immediately thought of something and asked.

"Your Majesty, in the past half a month, a total of more than 100 people have been investigated for corruption, and more than 300 officials and their families have gone to Ireland.

Jack said respectfully with a cold face as always, his head bowed.

"Really? This surprised me, and I was a little worried that there were no vacancies for those who were admitted last year. ”

When Edward heard the numbers, he smiled softly, unimpressed.

"Let's go! The two of us talked as we walked! Edward put the rod down and walked along the riverbank.

Seeing this, Jack took a look and followed silently.

"What about Ireland? What is the expansion of the immigration base? ”

Edward asked casually as he looked at the rippling surface of the river and the swans playing freely.

"At present, the region of the Ulster province is based on Lemire. Mr. Watson expanded the fastest, while John. Sir Perrot is not far behind, and it is not far off to achieve the set goal! ”

Jack, of course, knew that His Majesty was only interested in the first place, and the others were not interested.

Of course, John. Sir Perrot is also part of His Majesty's interest, after all, he is the illegitimate son of Henry VIII, and His Majesty also values him.

"Oh! It's not Sir John, that Lemuel is very good! ”

Edward was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that the first place was not the most important John. Perrott, and an unknown newcomer.

"What did he do?" Although the eighteen people were all screened by himself, he didn't remember them one by one, and it wasn't just a matter of how much the nobles forgot things.

"He was originally a minor official in the Hundred Households District, then went to Cambridgeshire, East England, and then was promoted to Ireland by you!"

When he learned that His Majesty had summoned him and was by his side, Jack understood that he had a chance to perform.

As a close minister, only having the king's trust is the main reason for him to maintain his current position, and if his majesty is not satisfied with him in the slightest, he risks being replaced.

He had memorized all the contents of the report, and blurted it out.

"That's okay, sure enough, there are still a lot of talents among the civilians!"

Sighing, Edward glanced at Jack.

"What about Scotland?"

…………

The rest of the day, Edward talked to Jack for a while, and finally got a sense of what had happened in the last few months.

On the 8th of August, around three o'clock in the morning, the whole of London was in total darkness, the sound of birds was difficult to hear, and the crescent moon in the sky seemed dim.

At this time, London was not calm and tranquil in the past, but it was noisy, and pedestrians on the road came and went, and there was a lot of discussion.

Selling hot bread, umbrellas, pens, and all kinds of vendors, shouting as they walked, washing away a lot of the cold of the night.

The houses on the side of the road are also lit with oil lamps one by one, illuminating the lively street, and the faces of pedestrians are faintly recognizable.

The Grand London Hotel, an exclusive floor in Lincolnshire.

Eaton dressed himself and took his pen and rations into the package.

I looked at the weather again, then put the umbrella in, and took a few more coats and put them in.

The weather in London is unpredictable and cannot be taken for granted.

Besides, the five exams were rotated for two days in a row, and they were locked in a small house, eating, drinking, and Lasa for two days, and they couldn't go out.

Necessary preparations, or as they should.

Carrying his bag, he walked out the door, and at this time, one after another, like him, walked out of the room and began to participate in the exam.

Seeing these familiar people, Eton nodded, and then ignored them, ignoring the changing faces of the people.

Eaton didn't care at all how they behaved, and walked downstairs with a blank face and got into the carriage.

The carriage would escort them to the newly established test center, about three miles away.

At half-past four, everyone got into the carriage, and the carriage was moving.

Nervousness is everyone's expression, and the next time is the key moment that will determine their future.

Civilians and officials are the difference between cloud and mud.

The carriage drove slowly, and when we arrived at the test site, the sky was slightly white, and it was drizzling.

After stopping, Eaton got out of the carriage and looked around.

On the entire flat ground, the carriages stopped one after another, the signs on the carriages were of different colors, hundreds of people came down one by one, and in the blink of an eye, the flat ground was already full of people.

In front of the flat ground, a huge courtyard sits here, and a hundred police officers and guards who have been screened out stand guard in front of the gate, watching them and pointing and pointing.

Eaton and the others raised their umbrellas, and a dozen or so people gathered in a group, waiting for the gate to begin.

At eight o'clock, the whole exam officially began, and it was a two-day arduous journey.
