Chapter 110: Chief Examiner Mu Shaojun
"What! I'll be the examiner! You're kidding!"
Mu Tong jumped up directly on the spot, stared at his nose with wide eyes and shouted in disbelief at the little eunuch who came to deliver the message.
but got the other party's nod of affirmation with a smile.
"Congratulations to Shaojun, as soon as this examiner does it, Shaojun will be regarded as a peach and plum in the future. β
yes, it seems to be true.
Mu Tong resigned himself to taking the holy decree and looked at it, okay. I don't have to change it, the yellow silk and black letters, and the golden seal, can't be faked.
casually threw the holy decree to Mo Qing behind him, signaled him to give a reward to the little yellow door that passed the decree to send the other party, and walked into the courtyard sadly.
Now he doesn't live in the Mu Family Chamber of Commerce, this is a manor in the noble area of Wangcheng, which was bought by Mu Tong at a high price.
After all, he secretly got his sister's family back to Black Dragon City, and he couldn't hide the news.
At that time, if Li Kuang goes crazy and is determined to attack himself, he will rely on the three or two kittens left by the Chamber of Commerce, but he can't stop Li Kuang.
It's different when you move here, this side is either rich or expensive, although the residents are not big officials, but they are also some real power officials and some rich families.
Li Kuang didn't dare to make a big fuss here. Unless he doesn't want to be the prince of the town.
"Young master, young master. You're going to be an examiner?"
Mo Qing chased after him, with an excited face.
Mu Tong hummed with a headache, which was in response to him.
"But young master, aren't all examiners Confucian, young master, you don't seem to read much. β
......
Mu Tong stopped, with a tic-tac-toe on his forehead, looked at Mo Qing and said, "Young master, I am rich and five cars, and I am only eight high, do you need to talk everywhere!
Mo Qing looked at the young master with a bad face, and took half a step back stupidly, only then retorted: "Young master, you are obviously quibbling, I won't play with mud after I am five years old!"
"Your young master, I don't have to study after you are five years old!"
Mu Tong is really going to be angry with these two scholars.
Back then, it wasn't because these two goods ran to the door of Lu Gongwang's house to pee, and after he and Lu Gongwang started an argument about a soak of urine at the door, Lu Gongwang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and said at the moment: Bow to the wind.
After that, not to mention the Black Dragon City, the three counties and sixteen cities in the south, which Confucian student dared to come to teach him to read.
In the end, he was forced to never mention reading again, of course, he did not give up reading, but just memorized all the books in his home, after all, "review the old and learn the new".
In general, he Mutong can be regarded as full of economy. But only he knows his own business, he is completely on paper. When it's time to use it, how much real material can he have?
Now that the big pot is buckled on his head, how can he not be nervous.
[Damn, Mo Wenxuan's old thief, and calculating this young master, no, it's this young master. Looks like I'm going to get used to this amulet. Otherwise, it's not cheaper for the old thief. Okay, young master, I'll muddy this water for you!]
"Xiao Qingzi, pack up. I'm going to go to the palace in a moment!"
Hearing Mu Tong shake into the palace, Mo Qing was curious.
"Young master, are you planning to enter the palace to resign? How good it is to be the examiner, the champion will call you in the future: teacher. Xiao Qingzi, I also have a lot of light. β
"Please be big! Young Master Ben, I'll go and ask Your Majesty for official uniforms! I, the young gentleman, am in vain, and I don't have court clothes! Now I want to be the chief examiner, how can I take the exam without official uniforms! Do you wear silk and satin! You pig!"
"Oh, then I'll prepare the horses!"
Mo Qing, who was knocked on the head several times by the young master, hurriedly ran away.
Well, this is the original young master, and he didn't run away.
Mo Qingmei thought about it, and after confirming that this young master who was indifferent on the outside and funny on the inside, he was relieved.
Can't let him Mo Qing make fun of himself, he can't be happy without his companions.
At the same time that Mu Tong received the order, the imperial list was also posted outside the Wang Dugong Academy, announcing the list of examiners for this imperial examination. The examiner who ranked first was particularly eye-catching.
Immediately, the candidates who came from all over the country talked about it, and they all discussed who this Mu Shaojun was.
It's not that they are lonely and unheard, but when Mu Shaojun's name was declared far away, they were all on the way to the royal capital, either in the wilderness or on the way to the wilderness, and when they arrived in the royal city, they rested in the inn, one to relieve fatigue, and the other to review their homework. After all, I was in a hurry along the way, and my homework was a lot unfamiliar.
Therefore, this group of people who have just arrived in the royal capital don't know who Mu Shaojun is, but this does not prevent them from knowing who this Mu Shaojun is.
After all, there are also candidates who came to the Wangdu speculative drilling camp early, so they naturally know who Mu Shaojun is.
As a result, under the spread of well-intentioned people, all the candidates who were preparing for the scientific examination became a sensation.
The examiner turned out to be the son of a businessman, and he was a young man who had not dried up.
How can this be acceptable to them.
At this moment, they forget their origins, that most of their group are also grassroots, mud legs, tenants, and sons of small merchants, and forget that they are even worse than others.
They who claimed to be scholars began to attack the examiner's origins and his age.
In a word, they opposed Mu Shaojun as the chief examiner.
However, they didn't know that the subject was in the palace at this time and was also thinking about removing the position of examiner!
"I said, Your Majesty, you are not kind at all, so calculating me. The chief examiner of the imperial examination can also be a boy, and I should be a boy? β
"Mu Shaojun don't be impatient, I naturally have some consideration for letting you be the chief examiner. First, there are many parties in the court, and there are endless disputes about the chief examiner, but the imperial examination is imminent, and he should cut through the chaos quickly. Your Mu family is no longer in the party, and as this chief examiner, you can naturally block the mouth of hundreds of officials. And although you, a young gentleman, are in a false position, your foundation is too shallow, and it is still easy for people to hold grudges. But it's different when you become an examiner, but the top three in this session are all considered to be your disciples, so that in the future, you will have a foundation in the court. β
Mu Tong looked at this old thing, no, it should be old and immortal. Mu Tong wanted to call him a face.
He Mu Tong, Mu Shaojun, was originally a false position, and he had no intention of officialdom, so after dealing with the affairs of the Li family, he planned to pursue the traces of the third sister Mu Ling.
What's the use of asking for these false names, and the so-called protΓ©gΓ©s, do people dare to admit themselves?
It is estimated that the champion will run to those princes when he gets it, who will follow a teacher who has no foundation, and whether he wants to be promoted and make a fortune.
However, he also tested the other party's attitude, which was determined to make trouble for himself and make himself the chief examiner.
"Okay, since Your Majesty values Mu Tong so much, I won't shirk it. But there are three things that Your Majesty needs to promise me. β
"Which three, let's hear it, can do it, I will never postpone it. β
"Good. First, please give me the official uniform of the young monarch, otherwise I will be the chief examiner of the court, and I will be the young monarch of the court, and how to invigilate the examination without the official uniform. β
"Well, that's as it should be. It's my negligence, yes. In a moment, I will order the Ministry of Rites to prepare. β
"Second, since Your Majesty has asked me to take the exam, you need to give me power. It is related to this year's imperial examination, and no matter how big or small, it will be handled by this young monarch. β
"Yes. β
"Three, I need a team of forbidden troops, no need for many people, just a hundred. During the scientific expedition, these 100 forbidden soldiers need to obey my orders. In order to prevent someone from making waves and assassinating this Shaojun, I want to stay in the Tribute Academy, and 100 forbidden soldiers need to be stationed in the Tribute Academy. β
Mo Wenxuan hesitated in his heart when he heard that Mu Tong was shaking the military power.
"This ...... Is Mu Aiqing making too much of a fuss?"
Mu Tong looked like he was hard-hearted, and he wouldn't do it if he didn't give it, and said to Mo Wenxuan.
"Your Majesty, it's not a big fuss about the minister, it's really that the minister has just entered the royal capital to this day, everything is targeted, and he almost lost his life in this palace, and now it's a matter of national selection. Otherwise, the minister will turn back to Black Dragon City and not wade into the troubled waters. β
Mo Wenxuan was a little annoyed in his heart, a vertical man, he actually dared to contradict him, but for the sake of calculating in his heart, he endured it.
"Okay, okay, I will decree that within three days, your official uniform and forbidden army will be delivered to your house. In addition, I will make up the holy decree tomorrow morning, and allow you to carry out the power of life and death with a sword during the imperial examination. Anyone who disturbs the major affairs of the imperial examination can be convicted by yourself, and if the crime is extremely heinous, you can behead yourself. Let's go down!"
agreed to Mu Tong's conditions, Mo Wenxuan waved his hand in annoyance and asked Mu Tong to retreat, out of sight.
"Your Majesty, Weichen retires!"
