Chapter 89: Recommendation for the Palace Examination
When Dai Junbo heard his father's inquiry, the resentment on his face became even stronger.
Dai Junbo said hatefully: "Dad, this time, the first place on the apricot list is ...... It's Yin Ming!"
The Duke's pupils shrank slightly, and it was clear that this result had exceeded his expectations.
He slowly lowered the spear in his hand.
This gun has been with him for many years, and it has long been contaminated with murderous aura.
When he heard about this, if he held this gun, he couldn't help but want to kill!
The Metropolitan Governor sat down and asked slowly, "What is your rank?"
Dai Junbo lowered his head and said, "The child is incompetent, only ranked seventh." β
The Metropolitan Governor said coldly: "Waste!"
Dai Junbo's head hung even lower, and he didn't dare to answer.
The Metropolitan Governor asked again, "What about Li Chengming?"
Dai Junbo was a little stunned, and he didn't know why his father specifically asked that kid.
Although that kid was born in the royal family, he is no longer worth mentioning.
Dai Junbo was puzzled, but he still replied honestly: "He is the fifth." β
The Metropolitan Governor didn't respond, and after a while, he said, "That's fine." β
"In the palace examination, you must show your true talents and learning in front of Your Majesty. β
"At that time, I will recommend it to you, and you will go to Zhongshu Province to do a certain errand, and then go up after doing some things. β
Dai Junbo hurriedly agreed, and then couldn't help asking: "But, that Yin Ming ......"
The Metropolitan Governor snorted coldly and said, "I will arrange for him to go to a good place." β
When he said this, he felt a chill.
The "good place" in his mouth is only afraid that it will kill people at every turn.
The Metropolitan Governor said: "Yi Hetu, this old thief, deceives people too much. β
"In order to cover this Yin Ming's superiority, Yi Hetu really didn't even want face this time. β
"I didn't even expect him to do this. β
Dai Junbo was stunned and said, "Dad, what do you mean?"
The Metropolitan Governor did not answer Dai Junbo, but said: "I didn't want to care about Yin Ming's junior, but this time, I can only say that he is unlucky." β
"If this Yin Ming is allowed to come out, wouldn't it be the fulfillment of Yi Hetu's wish, and I will make him regret it this time. β
Dai Jun looked at his father as if he didn't understand.
After the release of the list, a few days passed quickly.
There was harmony in the court, and the big men never mentioned it, and they didn't seem to care.
Except, of course, one Feng Xiang.
He almost had smug on his face.
This time, his son topped the martial arts list in high school, and the top of the Wenju list was his son's friend Yin Ming.
He does have a reason to be happy.
His appearance made the Metropolitan Governor of Hongjing even more annoyed.
Whether it is Prime Minister Chong or Feng Xiang, it is impossible for him to sit idly by.

Twilight spring is coming, and it is finally time for the emperor to personally open the department and preside over the palace examination.
The 300 civil and military people who are on the list in the examination will be tested by the emperor in front of the palace hall.
This will directly determine the starting point of an individual's career, some people will ascend to the sky in one step, and more will be sent to the local or military as talents.
Of course, it is said that the emperor personally examined the competition, but in fact, it is the people below who are in charge.
It's just that in the end, he submitted a petition to the emperor and selected the outstanding talents.
The emperor will hand-pick the first class, and then the officials will be responsible for ruling the second and third class.
After that, it is to send officials to serve as generals and confer official positions.
On the day of the temple examination.
The special ministers will ask questions, compare the tributes, and evaluate the ranks.
In the end, the ranking of the participants did not change much, and fifty tributes were selected and came to the Five Dragons Gate.
Among them, there were 30 warriors and 20 literati.
Yin Ming and Feng Xingdao stood at the head of the crowd, standing tall in front of the people, bathed in the gaze of the rest of the tributes.
Not far behind Yin Ming, Dai Junbo, who was seventh on the apricot list, stood quietly.
He stood straight, his eyes did not squint, and he looked unfazed.
However, his gaze always crossed Yin Ming, intentionally or unintentionally, revealing a resentful look.
That should have been his seat!
He couldn't figure out how this kid, who didn't even have the opportunity to compare with him on the same stage, was ranked ahead of him.
Finally, the emperor announced the meeting of these twenty people in front of the palace.
Under the guidance of the chamberlain, a group of people came to the front of the palace and saluted the emperor in turn.
The emperor sat on the throne, the cigarette smoke in front of him, he couldn't see his face clearly, and he looked indescribably solemn and mysterious.
Under the emperor, the waiting high-ranking officials surprised everyone even more.
Although this palace test is important, it is at this time when the final ranking is determined, and you can see the emperor.
As for the several big names in the court, generally speaking, they can't be seen.
Today, however, almost all the ministers are there.
The prime minister is here, the ministers of the six ministries are also there, as well as Feng Xiang, the marshal of the forbidden army, the governor of Hongjing, and many leaders of the army.
This is almost complete with the lineup of the early dynasty, and for a group of tributes who have not yet officially appeared, this treatment is simply a bit too grand.
The emperor slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Prime Minister, you are the master of this spring's examination, do you have anyone to recommend?"
The prime minister is the chief examiner and president of the examination, that is, the seat teacher of this batch of tributes.
Generally speaking, the prime minister will recommend the top three civil and military in turn.
Then if the emperor feels that he is in tune, he will take advantage of the situation to be the first class, that is, the champion, the list eye, and the flower.
The prime minister took a step forward and said, "Back to the emperor, this spring will be examined, and five hundred tributes will be selected, three hundred warriors, and two hundred literati." β
"Among this martial artist, Feng Xingdao is the first to be recommended, he is less than twenty years old, and he is already a martial artist, and such a talent has not been heard of in the imperial examination for ten years. β
The emperor nodded, looked down, and asked, "Feng Xiang, is this son your own son?"
Feng Xiang hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, it's a courtier's dog." β
The emperor nodded and said, "It is indeed a talent, I heard that he has trained in the forbidden army before, and he has made a lot of contributions." β
"Very good, I will listen to the seal in a moment. β
The emperor suddenly said again: "By the way, I heard that this year's township test Xie Yuan is also a young martial artist, and he is an unborn genius?"
Qinglin Hou came out and said: "Your Majesty, a genius doesn't dare to be a genius, that is a dog." β
The emperor said: "Liu Qing doesn't have to be too humble, he is such a genius, he should be a general." β
"You don't have to wait for next year to open the course, make an exception today, and announce that he will also go to the palace to listen to the seal. β
Qinglin Hou hurriedly said: "The dog is naΓ―ve, and his actions are almost naughty, and he is afraid of colliding with the emperor." β
The emperor said, "Oh, what's the matter?"
As a martial artist, you should be deaf and clear-sighted, and healthy, especially this kind of young genius, who is even more blessed, how can there be a problem with your sanity.
The emperor groaned for a while, and then said: "That's it, then after today, call the imperial doctor to treat him." β
Qinglin Hou hurriedly thanked him and returned to the column.
The emperor asked: "Prime Minister, Wen Dao is a virtuous person who can be recommended." β
The prime minister's expression became more and more solemn.
The prime minister said: "Your Majesty, this department has produced an unprecedented genius of literature and Taoism. β
Needless to say, this son Wensi has the ability to help the world and the state. β
