Chapter 317: Self-Interested

Nangong You had a secret conversation with the emperor for a long time, and did not leave the palace until late at night. During this period, the queen sent people to come, but was blocked by Grandpa Gao.

After Nangong left, the emperor sat alone in the imperial study, with complicated thoughts. On the one hand, Sima Ce wanted to rebel, and on the other hand, the real goddess was found.

I used to think that the passage in and out of the "Mountains and Rivers Map" was in the Western Regions, but now I know that in fact, it is anywhere. The owner of the mountain and river map can just throw people out without even consulting you.

The emperor pondered, looked at the edict of the prince standing on the side of the imperial table, put it away and put it in a drawer. Then he picked up the pen and wrote a secret decree, summoning King Xiao to enter Beijing immediately, and be sure to come in person.

The secret decree was sent to the Eastern Regions City overnight.

Nangong You returned to the Sanheyuan, Qingshu and Swift Wind stayed here, and Qingmao sent the young master back to Nanyuan to rest.

Dudu was coaxed by a delicious meal, and after eating, he suddenly said that he wanted to teach Qingmao to cultivate Xuanli.

Qingmao naturally wants to learn, she has seen the power of the young master.

Qingshu also wanted to learn, and Dudu reluctantly agreed.

Hurricane also wanted to learn, but was ruthlessly rejected by Dudu.

"Who are you! Qingmao, I think it's for her sake, she doesn't care about her own life and wants to save me, help this little girl, and help her improve her strength. As for Qingshu, she served me considerably, and it didn't hurt to teach her by the way. As for you, your master is not a genius among geniuses! Let him teach you. ”

Dudu is still angry that Nangong You's promotion is faster than him.

"Master!" Brushing Wind and Qingshu saw that the master was back, and hurriedly greeted each other.

Nangong You entered the bedroom and looked, Ye Xiaoyan was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and asked, "What about Dudu?" ”

"Qingmao sent him back to the South Park to rest." Aoki replied.

"Go back and rest!" Nangong You commanded.

Everyone knew that the master didn't like the redundant people in the courtyard, so he returned to the South Park.

Nangong Yu washed up briefly, went to bed and hugged Ye Xiaoyan, and fell asleep peacefully.

On the second day, the palace was in the morning.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said: "This year's examination will select 60 students to participate in the palace examination, please ask the emperor to choose, when the palace examination will be held." ”

The emperor thought for a while and said, "Just tomorrow!" It is held in the square in front of the temple. ”

"Tomorrow?" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was surprised: "Time ...... Isn't it a bit of a rush? ”

"Why hurry, they don't need to prepare anything." The emperor turned his head and said to Gao Gong: "Later, you and Zeng Shangshu will hurry up and do it." ”

"Yes." Gao Gonggong responded.

The so-called palace examination is that the emperor sets the questions, personally presides over them, and selects them personally. At that time, 60 tables and chairs will be placed in the square in front of the hall, and each of the 60 candidates will have one. Then the questions given by the emperor were announced, and the candidates responded with articles. The answer sheet was written and submitted to the emperor in the palace. The emperor may also call people in and ask questions in person. In the end, the emperor selected the champion, the list eye, and the flower. But all the candidates who can participate in the palace examination are certain to be officials. It's just that depending on the ranking, it determines the future and destiny of the future.

Before, Lu Ting, Hong Sheng, Li Ziji, Wei An and others were looking for a way, firstly, they wanted to enter the palace examination, and secondly, they also wanted to explore, if the palace examination, what questions would the emperor have. However, among the four of them, only Lu Ting entered the palace examination.

Of course, this is not to say that the other three have no chance to be officials at all. For example, Hong Sheng, although he did not enter the palace examination, but he was admitted to the economics department, and he can also embark on a career in office. It's just that the starting point of his career is much lower than Lu Ting.

Zeng Shangshu was sweating, this time was really too hasty, and as soon as he dispersed, he hurriedly ordered someone to arrange it.

The emperor set the time in such a hurry, naturally he had his intentions.

These ministers, before every palace examination, dig out their minds to extract the temple examination questions from him.

Of course, the emperor would not have told them. So they tried all kinds of things openly and secretly, wanting to know the emperor's mind, even if they just knew the general direction of the topic.

The emperor knows this. It's just a matter of turning a blind eye.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the eldest prince followed up with the imperial study.

"What's the matter with you?" The emperor asked.

"Father, the palace exam will be held tomorrow, the time is really too rushed, just notify every candidate who takes the exam, the latest, I'm afraid it won't be known until the evening. In such a hurry, I'm afraid that they will play abnormally! ”

The emperor chuckled: "They are not abnormal, what does it have to do with you!" ”

The eldest prince said: "This time, the son is in charge of this year's examination, and the son wants to select good talents for his father." If these students panicked and fell short of standard because of the rush in the arrangement of the palace examination, wouldn't that be ......?"

"It's just that time is tight, and nothing has happened." The emperor said: "Yu'er, you must remember that you are my eldest son, and you will inherit the throne in the future. I know the careful thinking of those ministers. They can be selfish and think about themselves, but you can't. ”

The eldest prince had already heard from his mother that his father intended to make him the crown prince. But when I heard my father say, "In the future, I will inherit the throne by you", Nangong Yu's mood couldn't help but be a little excited. Among the candidates for this temple examination, several were his people. He was also worried that they would be brushed off. However, with his father's words, Nangong Yu was relieved.

The eldest prince Nangong Yu said guiltily: "It's the son who is impetuous." Erchen knows his mistake. ”

"Well, stand down!" The emperor said lightly.

Nangong Yu retreated.

The emperor thought about it for a night, although Ye Xiaoyan could make her own subjective decision to move people out of the space of the mountain and river map, but after all, the number was limited. Yesterday, nearly 100 people were moved out at a time, and she exhausted her mental strength and fell into a deep sleep.

There are more than a million people in the Shanhe Diagram space, and if you want to move all these people out, you can't rely on Ye Xiaoyan's spiritual power, but rely on everyone to go out by themselves.

Another important thing is, how should these people be resettled after they go out? You can't just let it go! In that case, who would want to go out.

Also, I don't know what the world outside the mountains and rivers is like, and if there is a place where so many people can be placed.

As for those who are reluctant to go out......

The emperor has thought about it carefully, this is a long-term project, it's not as simple as saying it's going out!

He discussed with Nangong You last night and sent some people out to explore the way. Based on the calculation of one day outside the picture and one month inside the picture, it is only a month for people to go out, and they have been here for nearly three years. The emperor frowned when he thought of this. If they can't find anything out for three months, then haven't they been here for nearly ten years?

The emperor felt that if he had ten years in the future, he would probably be too old to go there.

After thinking about it, the emperor decided to pass on the throne to the next generation, and while he was still in good health, he went out to have a look. Whoever wants to sit on this throne sits whomever sits. There is Ye Xiaoyan, there is Nangong You, and there is Mr. Du, what is he afraid of!
