Xu Mingyuan listened to Yao Yuanzhi's words, and his face was different, although Yao Yuanzhi was not born in Jinshi, but he was up and down several times in the court, but he was always trusted by His Majesty, and he can be described as a role model for many people.

And now he is the second position of the Zhongshu Ling and the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and he is the head of the hundred officials, which can be said to be extremely powerful, and he can be praised like this, and Xu Mingyuan's city government is also a little surprised.

During this time, Xu Mingyuan also knew a lot about the ministers of the court, after all, Qinglongfang had a lot of dealings with foreign countries, and some contact matters with really high specifications still required him to come forward in person, so it was natural to understand some of these big people first.

Those who spoke out against it before came out of some old scholars in the court, basically from King Xiang's faction, which shows that King Xiang has classified him into the camp of the eldest prince and is quite disgusted with him.

And Yao Yuanzhi is transcendent outside the court, and he has never heard of him being biased against any faction, so he is a relatively special person in the court.

And although this person is in a high position, he has never formed a party, except for a few captains on the border of the northern front, there are no protégés in the DPRK and China at all. Even those who were recommended and promoted by him were only gentlemen's friends on weekdays, and there was no faction at all.

He is like a lone wolf, a lone wolf standing alone in the middle of the court in front of Baimo Building, which makes people awe-inspired, but inevitably alienated from him.

So he doesn't belong to any faction, he only follows His Majesty's wishes, and if His Majesty decides on the prince's candidate one day, he will become the most solid supporter behind the prince.

"Yao Aiqing's words won my heart, Zhu Aiqing doesn't need to say more, this matter is decided." Emperor Yan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, said with a smile: "Xu Mingyuan, a new science and technology scholar, has been awarded the supervision of the imperial history and the school secretary of the Hongwen Pavilion, but your school scholar is not here to revise the classics, you are responsible for teaching the prince to practice calligraphy." ”

When the hundred officials heard this, they knew that His Majesty had decided, and Yao Yuanzhi agreed again, although there were people with disgruntled faces, they did not jump out to oppose it again.

However, when they heard that Xu Mingyuan was asked to teach the eldest prince to practice calligraphy, everyone's faces were a little more puzzled, but looking at Yao Yuanzhi, who was facing away from them, he didn't seem to have the intention of speaking out again, so he could only hold back.

"Xu Mingyuan, thank Your Majesty." Xu Mingyuan shook the ground and said loudly. Although I don't understand the meaning of Emperor Yan's official award, these two official positions are enough to make the new science and technology scholars behind him envious.

And when he was the school secretary of Hongwenguan, he actually went to teach the big prince to practice calligraphy, thinking of the naughty big prince, Xu Mingyuan couldn't help but feel a little headache.

And in this way, he is already completely tied to the ship of the eldest prince, and I don't know if His Majesty has a temporary intention after seeing his strategy, or if he has a deep meaning, which is also worth thinking about by Xu Mingyuan.

Xu Mingyuan was awarded the title of supervising the imperial history and school scrivener, and all the new science and technology scholars had different faces, Bai Molou and Fang Tingyan and others were naturally happy for him, and Wen Hua on the side clenched his fists, obviously his heart was not as calm as his face.

The first and third jinshi are all conferred in the palace, and Xu Mingyuan's conferral caused such a sensation as before, and it also made everyone have some expectations for Bai Molou and Wenhua's conferral, and they all want to know what official positions His Majesty will give to these two.

However, to everyone's disappointment, the next Bai Mo Lou and Wen Hua's official awards are a bit ordinary, Bai Mo Lou is awarded to the left, and Wen Hua is awarded to the right to fill the vacancy, although they are all close ministers of the Son of Heaven, but in fact, they are some chicken official positions, and Xu Mingyuan's supervision of the imperial history is a little far behind.

However, this is the case with the previous first-class and three-person awards, so although everyone has doubts in their hearts, no one has said much.

After the first three people have been awarded, the remaining two and three Jinshi will not be awarded by His Majesty, but will first be assessed by the Ministry of Officials, and then awarded by the Ministry of Officials, but the official position will not be higher than the first three people.

After the completion of the award, today's reception of the new branch of the Jinshi in the Taiji Hall can be regarded as an end, as a rule, the next thing is to participate in the apricot garden banquet and Qujiang Liuyu, and then the new branch of the Jinshi went to the Wild Goose Pagoda to nominate it.

Just when everyone was waiting for His Majesty's order, Wenhua, who was standing beside Xu Mingyuan and had entered the Taiji Palace, took a step forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen Wenhua, I have something to ask for, I hope Your Majesty can agree." ”

Hearing this, the hundred officials and the new science and technology scholars all looked at Wenhua, and the few people who followed Wenhua before were all a little excited at this time, while Fang Tingyan and the others were slightly wrinkled, looking at Wenhua, and Xu Mingyuan in front of them, but they couldn't talk in this hall, so they could only be in a hurry.

What Wenhua wanted to say at this time, Xu Mingyuan naturally knew it, but here, he really had no way to stop him from saying anything, so in addition to raising his eyebrows slightly and glancing at Zeng Lijing who was standing on the left, there was also Hengguo Gongwenfu standing in the queue on the right.

Hearing this, Emperor Yan looked at Wen Hua and said with a smile: "Oh? Wenhua, what do you want me to agree to? ”

"Wechen begs His Majesty to grant marriage." Wenhua still bowed and said loudly.

As soon as Wenhua said this, many officials in the court also showed a little smile, Wenhua is the son of Hengguo Gong after all, and many nobles in the court have watched him grow up, Wenhua has a lot of reputation in Chang'an over the years, so the impression of the officials on him is naturally good.

And it is no secret that Wenhua likes the eldest lady of Zeng Shangshu's family in Chang'an City, but because he killed Xu Mingyuan halfway, a marriage that was originally quite favored by people suddenly came to naught.

Today, Wenhua has to explore the flowers, but he is asking His Majesty to marry in this court, and the object of the marriage must be Miss Zeng.

Speaking of which, Wen Hua and Zeng Qingyi are talented and beautiful, and their family backgrounds are so compatible. Wenhua got the Tanhua and asked His Majesty to marry in this palace, if Zeng Shangshu and Hengguo Gong agreed, then the matter was a certainty.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Xu Mingyuan, who was standing in the middle of the front, pitiful, but also a little more mocking and happy.

Although the story of the poor scholar and the daughter is easy to be sung, it is actually the most jealous, compared to letting Xu Mingyuan hug the beauty, everyone is more willing to watch Wenhua marry Zeng Qingyi into the mansion.

"Marriage?" Emperor Yan smiled and asked, "Which young lady do you have a crush on, could it be that people are unwilling, so they want me to help you get married?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, Weichen wants His Majesty to marry Miss Zeng, the daughter of Zeng Shangshu, who can no longer let go after the relationship three years ago, and now Miss Zeng has returned to Chang'an, so Weichen has the courage to ask His Majesty to give marriage." Wenhua said, as if his voice was a little trembling because he was too excited.

"It turned out to be the daughter of Zeng Aiqing's family." Emperor Yan nodded, turned to look at Zeng Lijing, and said with a smile: "Zeng Aiqing, since Tanhualang asked me to be this old man, I have to ask your opinion." (To be continued.) )
