187. grafting
In order not to attract attention, Zhao Fangyin deliberately found a very private room in the restaurant, and the two chatted like this, it was most of the day, and by the time they both reacted, the time was already night. οΌοΌ
Seeing that the time was already so late, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and looked at the prince with a little playfulness, "Look at it, I'm really embarrassed, Your Royal Highness the Prince, this time you have messed up the little nightlife you have left." β
Zhao Xuan's appearance made Zhao Fangyin suddenly feel the urge to step forward and strangle him, but he still endured it and scolded with a smile: "You kid, why don't you accumulate some virtue when you talk about it, how can there be such a plaything in this palace." β
Looking at the prince's appearance, Zhao Xuan laughed, "Yes, yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a lot of opportunities, how could he delay a big event because of the love of his children, it is the grass people who are stupid, and his brain is not bright for a while, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive his sins." β
Zhao Xuan's casual appearance made Zhao Fangyin look at him helplessly, and then, as if he had thought of something again, with a little nervousness on his face, he said to Zhao Xuan: "Recently, my father, Zhao Yongqian, has been addicted to the wine pond and meat forest all day long, unable to extricate himself, and he doesn't go to the early court all day long, and even the government has begun to rarely ask about it, and now, the palace has begun to take charge of the court on his behalf, I think, among these people you brought, in addition to you, I think it can also arrange two people to enter this officialdom, Who do you see? β
Zhao Xuan frowned, pondered there for a while, and then said: "Take the situation we are in now, I can see that Xiucai and Mr. Storyteller, who once fell off the list, the two of them are just right for the situation we are in now, as for the other people, now they are in the court, because the ability is too peculiar, it will make other people think that the prince is going to rebel, so I think that without startling the snake, the two of them entered the court together, I am still more relieved, but, After all, I'm a guilty person now, and I venture into the court, isn't that too inappropriate? β
After sitting here for so long, Zhao Fangyin's stomach was already growling with hunger, and after eating a few chopsticks, he said to Zhao Xuan with some ambiguity: "You kid, how can a person who is usually so shrewd sometimes make such a low-level mistake, think about it, what is that subordinate called Sun Feng, isn't there a person who is good at disguise?" Let him make you a noodle belt, as for your new identity, I have arranged for someone to get it for you, and there will be no mistakes, so that it will be foolproof? β
After listening to the prince's words, Zhao Xuan scratched his scalp with his hand, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Careless, careless, since this is the case, when does the prince plan to get us into the court?" You must know that if you are rashly promoted, it is inevitable that some people will be unconvinced, and it will be us who will be squeezed at that time, and if we don't do a good job, it will be detrimental to the overall situation. β
Zhao Fangyin sat there, eating while listening to Zhao Xuan's reason, he was stunned, and swallowed the things in his mouth before saying: "That's right, my idea is really a bit abrupt, so in your opinion, how is it good?" β
Zhao Xuan sat there, without a single thought in his mind, when he thought of the unsuccessful Xiucai, he suddenly thought of something, and said to the prince with excitement: "Now, the imperial examination hall examination is not going to be held every four years, but there are still more than ten days to go, you just need to issue a will in advance, this year's palace examination is set in the Xuande Palace, and then you will arrange someone to steal the beams and change the pillars, I think, it is more appropriate to enter the court in this way."
After listening to what Zhao Xuan said, Zhao Fangyin nodded and slapped the table, "Just do as you say." ββ¦β¦
Early the next morning, after the little eunuch beside Zhao Fangyin shouted "Ascension to the Dynasty", the military officials below shouted loudly: "The prince is Chitose Chitose Chitose." β
Although this scene is very spectacular, but in Zhao Fangyin's opinion, the word prince is still too dazzling, although he is sitting on the dragon chair, but it seems to be hollowed out by these two words all of a sudden, it looks so powerless.
But no matter how much he didn't like it, Zhao Fangyin couldn't lose the royal face, sat upright, looked at the civil and military officials in the audience and said, "This palace has to announce a news today." β
The hundred officials in the audience didn't know what Zhao Fangyin was going to say, and they all began to mumble in the audience, and after half a sound, Bai Hong looked at the Xuande Hall so noisy, like a vegetable market, and scolded loudly: "Above the main hall, how can it be so noisy, give me silence!" β
Soon, above the main hall, there was no longer the sound of anyone talking, and all of a sudden, there was no sound, and it seemed so quiet and weird.
"Huh." Zhao Fangyin smiled lightly, waved his hand, signaled everyone to be harmonious and wealthy, and then continued: "This palace discussed with my father some time ago, and then decided to set up this year's imperial examination hall in the Xuande Palace, and this palace will personally screen talents. β
With the previous lesson, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, without superfluous words to tell, as if they were making eye contact, telling their incomprehension in detail.
Looking at the appearance of these people in the audience, Zhao Fangyin snorted coldly and didn't say anything, but this subtle feeling was caught by Bai Hong, he didn't know what Zhao Fangyin thought, but the saint would definitely not know about this matter, because of the rules left by the ancestors, he didn't dare to take a step across Yaochi, sighed, and didn't say anything, but he was very curious about what the prince wanted to do.
And Zhao Fangyin didn't give him extra time to think at all, and asked the officials of the chief scientific examination to rearrange it, and the point was to tell that person not to be extravagant and wasteful.
The official glanced at Bai Hong with some vino, and without getting Bai Hong's answer, he had no choice but to agree to His Royal Highness the Prince's conditions.
And Zhao Fangyin, however, has to say that he is very happy, things are developing step by step in favor of his side, so in order not to lose face, Zhao Fangyin wants to do Taishan collapse in front of him and not change his mind, but after all, he is still too young now, but these officials guessed wrong, although smiling, but Zhao Fangyin's heart is a storm, tumbling not only, the joy in his heart makes people mistakenly think that it is just because his little conspiracy succeeded.
Subsequently, after dealing with a few small cases, Zhao Fangyin ended today's morning dynasty and returned to his bedroom......
As for Zhao Xuan himself, after returning to his mansion, he found the ghost doctor and told the ghost doctor about it.
After learning about this, the ghost doctor originally wanted to be lazy, but when he learned that the time was less than half a month away, he began to arrange for people to find the materials overnight, after all, the materials for making tools like dough are not said to be made with casual things, and the dough made of ordinary materials is not of good quality after all, and it is easy to be damaged, and such a thing is crucial after all, so the ghost doctor does not dare to be careless at all.
And in the past half a month, Zhao Xuan and others began to correct their native pronunciation again, fortunately, Xiucai and Mr. Storyteller are both people who have traveled to many places, and soon, they have mastered a dialect, and under their efforts, there are basically no flaws, unless a person who knows dialects very well stands in front of them and listens to them speak a long paragraph, otherwise they can't hear it at all.
About the tenth day, the ghost doctor finally made those doughs, after all, if you want to make a dough without the slightest problem, it takes several times as long as the ordinary one, and in the next few days, they changed their respective bodies for Zhao Xuan and them, so that in many cases, even the ghost doctor himself has confirmed it, except for him, the rest of the disguise masters will not be able to distinguish at all.
Time passed quickly, finally, half a month passed, and Zhao Xuan was about to usher in the first exam in his life, probably because these people on the scene were too nervous, Zhao Xuan felt that his palms were slightly sweaty, and then looked at the other two people, Zhao Xuan smiled helplessly, feeling that their expressions were very exaggerated.
But fortunately, the exam finally started, looking at Zhao Fangyin on the stage, Zhao Xuan smiled at him, and the person who served as the examiner, Zhao Xuan also knew him, but because Zhao Xuan had a face and a lot of different shapes, the examiner didn't think about it at all, but thought that Zhao Xuan was a very unremarkable student in winter clothes.
And then, after listening to some words in front of the prince, the examiner showed an incredible expression, but it was only a flash, and he didn't have time to let other people find out, and carefully put the three test papers made by the prince into his sleeve, and when he passed by Zhao Xuan and others, he quietly put the test questions on their desks, and Zhao Xuan and the others did not hesitate at all, and quickly replaced their test papers......
Finally, with the examiner's "time is up", all the people put down their pens with satisfaction, and some people continued to think there, and after handing in all the test papers, with the end of the "Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose", this imperial examination is really over.
A month later, the results have been announced, look at his ranking, Zhao Xuan smiled helplessly in his heart, he didn't expect that this prince was a big deal, all of a sudden, Zhao Xuan became a dark horse in this imperial examination, ranking first, ranking first, ranking high, it can be said that he is like a fish in water.
And the remaining two, they have won the Tanhua and fifth places, when standing on that stage, Zhao Xuan's face was flushed, in the eyes of outsiders, he was happy, but only Zhao Xuan himself understood that what happiness was this, it was clearly embarrassing.
When looking at the prince's playful smile, Zhao Xuan almost had the urge to rush up and beat him up.
Fortunately, the time of this ceremony was not very long, and it didn't take long to complete, Zhao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but it also took about an hour, and even said many words on the banquet that even made him feel blushing and ashamed, fortunately, the prince did not embarrass him so much, and this ceremony was spent in a piece of envious eyes.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhao Xuan took office, he was given the official position of a privy councillor by the crown prince, you know, this is the official title of Zheng Sanpin, which makes Zhao Xuan very excited, although this privy councillor has always been promoted by civil officials, but after all, he is the first person under the privy envoy, and his duty is to weaken the rights of the privy envoy.
As for those two people, they were also named the counselors of the four products and the secretary and supervisor of the four products, internally because of Zhao Fangyin's deliberate promotion, and externally, they lied that the court had always been indifferent to the poor students, coupled with the big sweep a while ago, in order to consolidate the Great Song Dynasty, they came up with such a method.
Although many people don't understand it in their hearts, but now the saint Zhao Yongqian with his beauty and a few guards, wandering around, ethereal, there is no way to go to his side to join him, so these officials in desperation have no choice but to swallow their anger and slap their swollen faces and become fat.
As for Zhao Fangyin, after observing everyone's expressions one by one, he was very happy at that time, for so many years, he has never been so happy and uninhibited to himself now, as free and uninhibited, and rare as willful.
On the second day after the ceremony, Zhao Xuan received an invitation from Zhao Fangyin and came to his dormitory East Palace, looking at this extraordinary place, Zhao Xuan secretly swore in his heart that after he returned to his hometown in the future, he would also build a house like this, not only to expand the faΓ§ade, but also to live the life of his dreams.
And the two talked for a whole night in the middle of the night, and no one knew what the two of them said, but one thing could be guessed, the prince, wanted to start cultivating his own power.
After that, Zhao Xuan, after spending more than half a month to familiarize himself with the operation mode of the entire Privy Council, and even more deeply understood the privy envoy, in order not to startle the snake, Zhao Xuan first stabilized his position, on the surface a flattering appearance, in fact, secretly, but it is constantly separating the relationship between the privy envoy and the people under him, just like this, day after day, Zhao Xuan has already set him up in less than a month......
