Chapter 116: The Tribute Courtyard is closed
As soon as Mu Tong sat down, Liu Xun on the side poured a glass of wine for Mu Tong with a smile and said, "Adults are good means, salute first and then soldier." It seems that the old man is really old. ”
Yes, there is something in this person's words, and there is a lot of resentment. That wasn't the case when I visited the house just now.
Fortunately, Mo Qing was sent to the table by Mu Tong, after all, Mo Qing will also be mixed with that group of subordinates in the next month, so go and get a familiar face as soon as possible.
On the other hand, Zeng Xian on the side had nothing to do with himself, and he was concentrating on dealing with the food in front of him.
Although the Gongyuan was temporarily closed, Mu Tong had no intention of wronging himself. I had already talked to Mo Wenxuan and had full authority to handle the imperial examination, so naturally this meal was also.
It is indispensable to eat food, so that he will not wronged himself. As for how the household department reports to Mo Wenxuan when settling accounts in the future, it is none of his business.
No, Zeng Xian, the old guy, is in charge of the old fox's money bag.
Sensing the completely different attitudes of the two, Mu Tong, who had not communicated with the two beforehand, had no choice but to smile perfunctorily.
"Isn't this kid a newcomer and inexperienced, so he thought that instead of having an accident at that time, it would be better to cut off the way to the accident first, so that it would be much better. If there is any offense, I will punish myself with a cup, boy, and hope for Haihan. ”
Liu Xun listened to these perfunctory words, and the wine glass in his hand shook, almost not spilled.
He glared at Mu Tong angrily, but there was no way, before he came, His Majesty had an order, and all matters big and small were decided by the yellow-mouthed child beside him.
I also secretly accepted the benefits of many people, thinking of finding an opportunity to leak the exam questions.
It seems that this time there is no chance, or wait for the benefit to be pushed to others afterwards.
On the other side, Zeng Xian's chopsticks took a meal, and then continued to eat and drink as if nothing happened.
It's just that his heart is a little unsettled.
"What a funny boy. It seems that there is a drama to watch in the imperial examination this time. ”
As for Mu Tong?
After finishing speaking, he glanced at several officials with different faces on the table, ignoring their inner worries, and leisurely picked and chose to eat on the table.
From time to time, he also took the initiative to discuss with Zeng Xian, who was obsessed with eating and drinking, which dish was delicious, and whether to add to tomorrow's meal.
It's just that his inner thought is, "Hmph, let's jump." Ben Shao wishes you could dance merrily. If you don't kill a few people who don't have long eyes, who knows that my Mu family is covered by my Mu Tong. I always dare to say that I will destroy my nine clans."
What a young man who will repay him, his heart is so small!
This banquet lasted for more than an hour, and if it weren't for the fact that they had to start preparations for the scientific expedition, these guys would have let themselves go and get drunk.
But after seeing the examiner's face-changing skills, no one is really stupid enough to dare to have a hangover.
really take the leader's words seriously, and none of them will end well.
Early the next morning, Zhang Cong, who had returned from the palace, appeared in Mu Tong's room, and Mu Tong, who had already been prepared, handed over a list of rules and regulations that would be discussed later.
"Commander Zhang, you should do what is written above now, and strictly guard against it. I need a dog in and out of the court, and you all check for me if it's male or female. Except for those who have tokens, no one else is allowed to enter or leave, and even the guards have to work in pairs to supervise each other. lest someone be bought. Can it be done?"
"Don't worry, sir. Zhang Cong promised not to disappoint the adults. My Praetorian Guard brother is not someone who says he can buy it. ”
Zhang Cong patted his chest and took the order.
As for this issue, it was used by Zhang Cong before it was discussed, Zhang Cong didn't think much about this issue, and Mu Tong didn't think much about it.
Anyway, even if there was opposition after a while, Mu Tong agreed to him.
As for how to tidy it up? It's simple, and whoever dares to object to putting the sword on the table.
The truth is just as Mu Tong expected.
The morning council was not discussed at all. Mu Tong put the sword on the table, basically whatever he said was what he said, except for the occasional yin and yang weird Liu Xun, no one gave this new celebrity a look.
Those who want to show him a face dare not and are not qualified enough to give, but those who are qualified to give him a face do not have that mind.
Therefore, no matter how much Liu Xun sowed discord, others were indifferent.
On the contrary, Liu Xun, who jumped up and down, was blacklisted by Mu Tong, and he would definitely clean him up when he had the opportunity.
Mu Tong took the initiative to be the chief examiner, so naturally he did not slack off, after all, this is a major event related to the lifelong future of Mohai Shizi, and he must not be sloppy.
Therefore, after solving the matter of sealing the hospital, he came up with the examination system that was really prepared for the scientific examination, the venue management, and the scope of the scientific examination, and let everyone discuss it in order to determine the final plan.
After all, he can't divide all the exam content by himself, at most, he sets the questions for the final big exam, and other small exam questions still need to be responsible for other officials. Otherwise, there is no need for so many well-educated people to participate.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the selection of materials for the country is the selection of talents who are officials and ask for the people's lives. This official has just entered the officialdom and does not know how to be an official, so this question is still up to you, and it is good to choose it and let the official see it. As for the final strategy and the examination questions of the poems, it is up to the official to decide. The rest will be decided by you and the two deputy examiners, and the topics of the exam questions must be determined within three days, and then decided by the officials, Liu and Zeng. ”
"My lord, isn't this annual scientific expedition from the Hanlin Academy?"
An official in charge of future invigilation came forward to raise his doubts.
Mu Tong smiled and motioned for him to sit down.
He liked the official's attitude, which was the attitude of doing things. If you don't understand, just ask, don't hide it.
"Very good, originally the Hanlin Academy did prepare an exam question. But this exam question is not out of the Hanlin Academy, and there are already people outside who are secretly selling the answers. Do you think this kind of examination paper is useful? That's why Your Majesty wants to ask a yellow-haired boy like me to be the chief examiner. It's not because this official is more talented than everyone here, but because this official has just arrived, and he has nothing to do with the various forces in Wangcheng, and after presiding over the scientific examination, this official will leave, and he will not serve in the court, and he is not afraid of offending people. This is the meaning of His Majesty's letting this official take the exam. Since His Majesty has entrusted the matter of the imperial examination to this official. Then the exam questions should naturally be made by our Gongyuan itself. ”
"I have heard that all the candidates in the past have liked to write their theories according to the examiner's preferences, and even according to the examiner's official stance and governing concept, which is extremely absurd. The scientific research is to choose the materials for governing the country and securing the country. It's not a man who chooses to slap horses. I want to see how this year's candidates will write their opinions according to their preferences!"
Looking at Mu Tong's slightly angry and smug face, a word invariably appeared in everyone's hearts: devil!
