Chu Lingyi thought about Mu Li's words carefully, it was not unreasonable, the imperial court lacked a talent like Xu Tianhong, and he also pushed him to the position of temporary county magistrate in the first place, and he had to be responsible for this.

The next day, Chu Lingyi entered the palace.

Because Liuyun had not yet found out about Xu Tianhong's beating, Chu Lingyi did not dare to tell the emperor about it in the court, and deliberately found the emperor before going to the court.

"Why are you here so early today, what's the urgency?" If it weren't for the fact that Chu Lingyi was his brother, the emperor would not have let Chu Lingyi meet him during the time period when he was changing.

"Back to the emperor, please ask the emperor for mercy on one matter."

"What's the matter, let's talk about it, it's going to be early in a while." The emperor's daily wake-up is fixed, and he squeezes time for Chu Lingyi to meet him, so he has to make a long story short.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember Xu Tianhong that Weichen once mentioned to you, this person came to Beijing to take the exam this time, but he was murdered by gangsters on the road, and now his legs have been broken, but his life is worry-free. Originally, he couldn't participate in the imperial examination, but he wanted to beg Weichen to give him a chance to prove himself. Chu Lingyi sped up his speech and made Xu Tianhong's matter clear.

The emperor's clothes are almost dressed, and now there is only a crown left.

"I remember this person, you once said that he was very literate, and made him the temporary county magistrate of Gu Village, I remember correctly." The emperor's memory is really good, he deals with so many official documents every day, and he can still remember what Chu Lingyi said about a small person, and sure enough, the emperor's position is not easy to sit.

"That's right, it's this person, Wei Chen thinks that if he can, he will go back to him, if not......" Chu Lingyi was a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, no injured person had taken the exam.

"Go back and tell him that I agreed." The emperor knows that the court lacks talents, and he will not give up when he meets someone like Xu Tianhong. "Tell him again, if he wins, I will reward him more."

"Weichen thanked the emperor for Xu Tianhong." Chu Lingyi really didn't expect the emperor to agree so happily, which was beyond Chu Lingyi's expectations.

"Let's go, it's time to go to the court."

Chu Lingyi immediately retreated, he didn't want him to know that he had met the emperor alone.

"If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." The chief eunuch on the side shouted at the top of his voice.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a matter." Zhong Guang is the other person in charge of the imperial examination, he is responsible for the safety of the examination room and the safety of the candidates, he is an old man.

"Zhong Aiqing, please speak."

"Your Majesty, the imperial examination is just around the corner, and all matters have to be prepared in advance, especially for some people who want to go through the back door, this must be eliminated."

The imperial examination is held once every three years, and three years ago, because someone wanted to pass the answer to the candidates, Zhong Guang was arrested, so Zhong Guang was also injured and lay in bed for several days unable to move.

Everyone thinks that as long as you win the imperial examination, you can be reused by the emperor, and you can get a lot of rewards. This is the case, so many people have to risk losing their heads.

"Zhong Aiqing has worked hard, this matter will be handed over to you, once the candidates who are found to have plagiarism will be expelled from the examination room, and they will not be allowed to take any exams for the rest of their lives."

The emperor hates people who cheat the most, especially some rich families who always like to do something illegal.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will do his best." Zhong Guang is an extremely loyal person who serves the court wholeheartedly, but his only advantage and disadvantage is that he is too stubborn.

Many times the emperor was almost angry with his stubbornness, but knowing that Zhong Guang did it for the good of the court, in the end the emperor had to compromise with him.

Chu Lingyi stood aside, he was not afraid that Xu Tianhong would cheat, so there was no need to worry. In addition, with the emperor's consent, Xu Tianhong has a separate room, so there is no need to worry.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something he wants to add, and it is also related to the imperial examination. It's just that the minister is not the person in charge of this time, so I don't know whether to talk about it or not. Jin Wuhe lowered his head and waited for the emperor's reply.

Chu Lingyi glanced sideways, this person was a military general, this matter had nothing to do with him, why did he have to get involved. Could it be that he has a family member who wants to participate in this imperial examination, Chu Lingyi thought to himself.

"Jin Aiqing, please say that the imperial examination is for the sake of recruiting virtuous ministers in this dynasty, and if everyone has any good ideas, they can put it forward." The emperor's favorite ministers brainstormed.

"That's right, Your Majesty. In the past, candidates were accompanied by the examiners present when they went to the toilet, so they thought that there would be a lack of one person to look at other candidates, so it was better to arrange a person to take the candidates to the toilet, so as to avoid the candidates' cheating behavior. ”

I really didn't expect a general's mind to be so meticulous, comparable to Wenchen. It can be seen that this person is not simple, he doesn't have anything to say on weekdays, but today's words are deeply loved by the emperor.

"Alright, alright, that's a good idea. Zhong Aiqing, this matter will be left to you, you see who is suitable, just go to the book. The emperor agrees with Jin Wuhe's idea, which greatly reduces the workload of the examiner, not to mention, but also avoids cheating to a large extent, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Zhong Guang secretly gave Jin Wuhe a thumbs up.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Weichen thinks that Master Jin is good. Master Jin is a military general, and he knows some punches and kicks, which is just right to cure those candidates who want to do small actions. ”

Chu Lingyi was very strange, why Zhong Guang recommended Jin Wuhe, these two people had never crossed paths on weekdays, Chu Lingyi was very puzzled. Could it be that Lord Jin wants to make a ghost, but it's impossible, he doesn't have the guts.

"Others, is there anything else?"

"Nothing to retreat."

After going down to the court, Chu Lingyi had been thinking about the affairs of the court, and accidentally bumped into Lord Shangshu who was walking in front of him.

"It's Lord Shangshu, I'm smiling when I see it." After Chu Lingyi apologized, he left directly.

Lord Shangshu looked confused, he was also Chu Lingyi's father-in-law, why did he leave like this, it was too rude. Regardless of Lord Shangshu and can't take Chu Lingyi, he is a prince.

"Strange people." Lord Shangshu shook his head.

"What's strange, Lord Shangshu." Zhong Guang saw that Master Shangshu was chattering alone, so he came up and specially greeted.

"It's Lord Zhong, this year's imperial examination is going to be hard again, you are old, you have to be more careful."

"Lord Xie Shangshu cares, and the minister will definitely pay attention." Lord Zhong laughed very silly, the last time he was injured, he also caused the court to make fun of him, saying that he was a civil official, and he was bullied by a candidate, and it seemed that he had to practice martial arts.

However, Lord Zhong didn't care, because he felt that if he did his job well, he would be worthy of the court, the emperor, and his original intention.

"Why did Lord Zhong recommend Lord Jin to serve for the imperial examination today, it seems that you two have no friendship, right?" Lord Shangshu is also strange, how can these two people not be connected.

Master Zhong smiled, "I'm not afraid that my old waist will hurt again, you know." ”
