Yi'an smiled and confessed, and took Qiu Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan to the Huangshan, and saw the eldest grandson Wuji. The eldest grandson Wuji and Ma Zhouzhu Suiliang were all standing at the front of the ministers, chatting and gossiping.

In fact, the eldest grandson Wuji has been paying attention to Li Ke and Wang Ping'an, and he was very unhappy when he saw them talking over there. This Li Ke is really seeing the stitches, waiting for a while to open the palace door, and he has to be close to Wang Ping'an and them, it's really not like words!

Seeing Wang Ping'an and them coming, the eldest grandson Wuji asked bluntly, "What did you say just now?" ”

In the two teams of Changsun Wuji and Li Ke, since the team has been selected and stood in, it must look like a person in the team. Wang Ping'an did not hide it, he said: "Back to the words of Lord Changsun, just now His Royal Highness King Wu told us that if there is any difficulty, we will look for him, and he will definitely help, and he will go to his house to discuss with him how to help, but the lower official refused." ”

Ma Zhouqi said: "If you refuse, are you not afraid of offending him?" Looking at him, he seems to be very angry! He looked at Li Ke, Li Ke's face was as ugly as it was now, it was as ugly as it was, obviously he was on fire.

Qiu Renjie said: "Actually, the prince didn't refuse on the spot, he just said that he let his housekeeper go to be a groom, and then His Royal Highness King Wu didn't say anything, and he was angry." The eldest grandson Wuji and the others were all stunned, and asked in unison, "What's the matter with this housekeeper?" ”

After asking a sentence, they all swiped the ground again, and they all understood what was going on. They are all treacherous and slippery people, how can they not understand the meaning of the words. In fact, this kind of thing, a long time ago, when the eldest grandson Wuji was still fighting with the former prince Li Jiancheng, he also did it, and he succeeded.

A few prime ministers, you look at me, I look at you, suddenly laughed, all shook their heads, and thought in their hearts: "This Li Ke is too useless, I sent a spy to Wang Ping'an's house, and it has only been a few days, and it has been revealed." Did he check that spy before sending someone, he wouldn't just find someone and send it!

The gate of Chengtian opened, and the ministers rushed in and went to the main hall. The ministers went directly into the main hall, while the scholars in the new examination lined up at the foot of the steps outside the hall, and the Jinshi Department was in the first row, followed by the Ming Jing Department. The miscellaneous departments of the boat are arranged in order.

At three o'clock, the bell rang and the drum rang, Li Shimin came out of the apse, sat down behind the dragon case, and the court meeting officially began. The first thing, of course, is to summon the new Koshi first. Shi Aiguo shouted loudly: "Xuanjin Shi Ke Wenqi has come to see the saint!" ”

The little eunuchs shouted one after another, spreading the news out of the palace.

Wen Qicai is the third place in the Jinshi department, he did not pass the examination by taking care of it, but really relied on the third place in the article examination, to say that the kung fu in the books is stronger than Qiu Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan, and he is really a scholar who is good at reading. It's just a pity that compared with the hard relationship, the relationship is more popular, not only in the early Tang Dynasty, but also in which dynasty and generation are the same!

Wen Qicai was about thirty years old, with good facial features, wearing a black dress, with a restrained expression, hearing his name, he shuddered for a moment, and thought: "Why don't you call me the first and second place, but call me the third place?" ”

He turned his head to look at Qiu Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan, but now that everyone was looking at him, he was even more nervous, he really didn't know how he could get the emperor's attention, and he was the first to summon him.

Wen Qicai lifted his clothes, went up the steps into the main hall, and knelt down close to the doorway, long live the mountain.

Li Shimin raised his hand and said: "Wen Aiqing is exempt from the list of today's scholars, and you will read it!" ”

Shi Zhongchen took a roll of yellow silk, walked up to him, handed him the yellow silk, and said with a smile: "Read it in the right tone, the voice is louder, so that everyone can hear it!" ”

Wen Qicai took Huang Aya, knelt on the ground and missed it, but Shi Zhongchen said: "Stand up and go to the steps outside." This is your roll call, and you want to read it to your peers! ”

Only then did Wen Qicai understand that he was originally asked to roll his name, which was a great honor. However, he doesn't have any big backers, how can he leave such a face-showing thing to himself!

Qi Suiliang looked at Wen Qicai and thought: "The old man can be regarded as compensating you, if it weren't for Wang Ping'an's relationship, I'm afraid you should be in the middle!" ”

Let Wen Qicai roll call is his suggestion to Li Shimin, he feels very sorry for Wen Qicai and wants to make amends. That Qiu Renjie's article is doing well, but he doesn't necessarily have his own ability, and Qiu Tingxuan has no problem in Jinshi, if he wants to win the second place, it is not his own ability, it is Wang Ping'an's ability!

It's a pity that this article is wonderful, looking at his appearance, it doesn't seem like he has been studying hard for ten years, but I'm afraid he will have to go up for twenty years. Let him shine in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and new scholars, and he can be regarded as worthy of him!

Wen Qicai was so excited that his whole body trembled, originally he still had a sense of injustice in his heart, and he was dissatisfied with Qiu Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan, but now that bit of injustice was thrown out of the clouds, he was content. People want face, trees want bark, and his face has been earned!

Standing on the steps, Wen Qicai read out the names of the scholars aloud, and the scholars whose names were read walked up the steps one by one, entered the hall and knelt down, Qiu Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan were side by side, kneeling in the first row, and the position was at the most. … After the roll call was completed, the female Qicai also spoke about the hall and knelt behind Qiu Renjie

According to the usual practice, Li Shimin naturally wanted to encourage the scholars to serve as concubines for the imperial court and be loyal to him. After the emperor finished speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji came out of class and began to speak. The first sentence of the eldest grandson Wuji was not good. He said, "There is a saying among the people, called useless is a scholar, do you think this is right?" ”

When the scholars heard this, their faces were ugly, today is their day of great joy, and they are about to be sent officials, what are you studying for, isn't it just for today? But the dignified prime minister, why is this the first sentence? is useless to be a scholar, is it difficult to grow up Sun Xiangye, and he is not a scholar himself?

Among the scholars, only Qiu Renjie had a different expression from everyone, his face suddenly realized, his face was full of so, and the people had this saying for a long time!

Everyone else's face is ugly, but Qiu Renjie is not, so he naturally attracted the attention of the ministers. The ministers all thought in their hearts, "This Qiu Renjie is a little stupid, he has this expression, as if he only realized that he is nothing different today!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Qiu Renjie, and said: "Look at your appearance, you will not be convinced in your heart, since you are not convinced, then you have to do something to let others obey, you need to do a good job, for the country, for the emperor, for the people of Li to do more things, this can be convincing, otherwise what is the use of the court raising you waste, waste rice and grain!" ”

When the scholars heard this, their hearts were even more unhappy, why are we waste, if the waste can kneel here now, waiting for an errand to be sent?

Only Qiu Renjie showed a great expression of approval on his face, so it is so, if you want to not be a waste, you have to do things well!

Wang Ping'an stood in the middle of the court, looked at Qiu Renjie, and thought, "Don't worry, others don't feel it, but the eldest grandson Wuji likes you like this!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said again: "However, it's not enough to work hard, and I'm also very worried about your character and appearance." Although all of you can write poems and write essays, if you read too many sages, will you definitely become sages? Not necessarily."

Speaking of this, he looked at Wang Ping'an and said: "Wang Ping'an, you are the deputy chief examiner of the undergraduate, these people can be selected, and they have won your favor, now you talk about what the people say about the quality of scholars, you say it, let them take it as a warning!" ”

Wang Ping'an grinned, I am a deputy poison test. But Zhu Suiliang is still the main exam, why don't you let him say it? If you offend people, you have to let me do it!

However, Shangguan let you offend people, it means that Shangguan trusts you, looks up to you, and gives you a chance to perform.

Wang Ping'an has always been very knowledgeable, he hurriedly said: "The people often say, "What do you say, saying that righteousness is half from slaughtering dogs, and the negative hearts are all scholars." ”

The scholars all looked at him, thinking, "Don't scold people to your face!" Such fierce words, can ordinary people say it? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said, "You have heard it, the people's comments on you are not good!" How can they re-evaluate you and say that you are not a negative person? Then you have to be loyal to the country, loyal to the Lord, love the people, and shepherd the people, understand? ”

The scholars lowered their heads and said in unison, "Students understand."

Only Qiu Renjie slowed everyone down, he first had a face full of this, it turned out that if he wanted the people to say good things about him, he had to do this, and then he said that the students understood that they were a little slower than other scholars.

But just a little bit, the ministers' attention was focused on him again, and they all thought in their hearts: "It seems that just now, only this Qiu Renjie paid attention to it, and he felt in his heart, thinking that he is a person who can carefully understand the meaning of Shangguan, and he will definitely be a good official in the future, at least whatever Shangguan asks him to do, he will do it seriously!" ”

Even Li Shimin thought: "This Qiu Renjie is good, Wang Ping'an is still very discerning!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji is even more satisfied, although there are many of these scholars, but this Qiu Renjie is still a bit of a look, and it is worth cultivating!

After the stick is struck, it's time to eat the sweet dates. The eldest grandson Wuji said again: "The imperial court is employing people, so the official position assigned to you this time is higher than before, which is inconsistent with your real ability, and you must be grateful and do a good job of the errand assigned to you."

The scholars instantly became happy, no matter how hard they scolded them, as long as the official gave them a big deal, everyone showed joy on their faces!

Qiu Renjie knelt in front, the scholars couldn't see his expression, but the ministers could see it, this time everyone's eyes focused on Qiu Renjie's face, wanting to see how he reacted!

saw a joyful look, only Qiu Renjie's face was like this, and then a serious expression appeared, it seemed that he understood, even if he got a higher official position, it was also when the imperial court was employing people, and he had to do things well. In this way, he can live up to the trust of the imperial court in him!

Everyone is at the same time, this Qiu Renjie, not bad, very good, this head has an eye for Wang Ping'an!
