In the past, it was customary to conduct scientific examinations once every three years, and the time was autumn.

Exams like Brother Hui, which were temporarily ordered by the emperor, were also common in all dynasties.

The difference is that in the past, those who took the examination were recommended by the minister of civil and military affairs of the court, or recommended by a magistrate.

The number of people is not taken at any time, such as ninety-nine, eighty-eight, sixty-six.

Brother Hui's winter exam this time, by the deadline, there were a total of two hundred and ninety-six people.

The reason why this number is said to be the largest number of special exams ordered by the emperor in all dynasties is also because these candidates are only in the capital and near the capital.

The notices are also available in the nearest few cities, and even if you hear the news, you won't have time to participate.

Brother Hui personally read the papers and selected one hundred and two people.

After Fan Puchang showed the selected list, Brother Hui knew that there were sixty-five protégés of his grandfather among the candidates this time.

What's even more incredible is that the total number of Fan Puchang's protégés this time is sixty-five, that is to say, none of them failed the exam, and they all passed.

Fan Puchang was very relieved at the time, but quickly calmed down and reminded Brother Hui that this might not be appropriate.

After this result was announced, what would the Manchu civil and military officials think?

He encouraged his protégés to come to the winter exam, but how did he know that his grandson's vision was so 'poisonous'. None of them were left behind, which means that they were all packed.

Fan Pu often really didn't expect such a result.

Therefore, Fan Pu often suggested that Brother Hui should replace a small part of it.

But Brother Hui didn't agree, saying that if he was afraid of what those people would think, he would replace him with the person selected, so what was the point of this winter exam? It would have been good to let them recommend it directly, and they didn't have to take the test, just use it directly, so they would be happy!

After a few words, Fan Puchang was speechless, and then gave his grandson a respectful salute, saying that the emperor was sage, and the old minister was confused!

Yes, being the emperor is not to make civil and military officials happy.

It's for the sake of the country, the people!

When Brother Hui talked to Mu Yingbao about this matter, his expression was not very proud, but he felt a little guilty, because it was this incident that almost made his grandfather feel guilty and wanted to resign and go home.

Fortunately, he has learned a lot of things by living with his mother for more than three years, and seeing that his grandfather's expression is wrong, he immediately played the family card, used a killer move, and shouted to his grandfather, saying that it is because of you standing by his grandson's side that his grandson can be unshirkable when he does things, and he is more confident to take care of Yanguo better and better.

In this way, Fan Puchang stopped thinking about resigning.

For this little episode, Mu Yingbao was very pleased.

She told Brother Hui that it is right to be rigorous and serious.

However, it is also necessary to deal with certain things flexibly in the way of dealing with certain things, and cannot be rigid.

Now it seems that this kid has done it, and the heat is well controlled.

If Fan Puchang had already said that he wanted to resign, even if Brother Hui knelt down and begged him to stay, it was estimated that he would not be able to keep people.

That's not good, although Fan Pu is old, he is not that stubborn.

This was seen when Fan Pu often entered the mansion.

Therefore, Mu Yingbao felt that the people the Fan family had come into contact with so far, except that Fan Ling'er was a little crooked, were all very good.

Also, about the top ten people in this winter exam, it is also quite interesting.

The first place selected by Brother Hui turned out to be Li Shuiyuan, the eldest son of Li Jiecheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

In second place is a proud protégé of Fan Puchang, Ji Fenghua.

The third place is Liu Rongwei, the youngest son of Liu Qingxian, the envoy of the Imperial Sect.

The fourth and fifth places are both Fan Puchang's grandsons.

The sixth place is Ouyang Junhua, that is, the one who has a good relationship with Xue Wenyu and likes Dongzhu.

When Brother Hui showed Mu Yingbao this list, Mu Yingbao also felt that he was all his own people! Very good.

But at this moment, in the court, after the list of candidates was announced, it was immediately a little chaotic.

Don't look at many of these civil and military officials who are inactive, but in some things, people are super serious.

As soon as the list of candidates for the winter exam came out, before the exam, many people had already used their connections to investigate the situation of these candidates.

At that time, I just wanted to analyze which one had the best chance of winning, so I could plan for it early.

Chaozhong can't mix on his own, he must have good friends.

But they didn't expect that in the list of winners hand-picked by the emperor's royal pen, there was no candidate they wanted to bet on.

In other words, they thought it was very likely that they were not on the list.

Moreover, in this winning list, the proud protégés of Fan Puchang, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, accounted for more than sixty percent, including his own two grandchildren.

What does the emperor mean by this? Is he going to use his own people?

What they can't believe the most is that Li Shuiyuan, the leader this time, who is he, the son of Li Jiecheng.

Everyone knows in their hearts, this criminal department Shangshu Master Li, that was originally the person who was the king of Shun.

Before the current emperor ascended the throne, the people who obeyed the king did not poison him.

Everyone didn't expect that after the emperor ascended the throne, he didn't even bother with Lord Li, and now, he also appointed his son?

What's going on, could it be because among the hundreds of candidates, Fan Puchang has too many protégés, and he is afraid that someone will gossip, so he deliberately ordered the son of Master Li? Just for show? Slowly find an opportunity to get rid of it later?

Or, when the new monarch ran for election this time, what consensus did the emperor and Master Li secretly reach?

After all, the emperor's 'mother' saved the life of Lord Li's son.

Also, the youngest son of Liu Qingxian, the envoy of the Imperial Sect, that kid was not born from the main family, but from one of his concubines.

If you are born to a concubine, you actually want to enter the court as an official? They feel that it is simply an insult to themselves to be an official of the same dynasty from such a background.

Brother Hui looked at the officials in front of him, talking about each other, shaking their heads helplessly, sighing, and grieving.

Luo Yi, Fan Puchang, and the few ministers who really supported Brother Hui all looked at him on the dragon chair with great concern.

But when he saw this little emperor, there was not the slightest anger or displeasure on his face.

He looked into the eyes of those people with a playful expression, giving the impression that he was watching a farce.

What does this mean? can only show that the situation in front of him has long been expected by him.

But the emperor can face it so calmly at a young age, which shows that this child is not ordinary.

Fan Puchang's father and son have the same idea in their hearts at this moment, they are really inferior to this child.

Not to mention anything else, just said that he personally reviewed the papers, but did not review them in public, but went to the imperial study with the answer sheets.

This kid doesn't care about cheating or telling the truth.

Fan Pu can often see their doubts from the eyes of everyone looking at him, and they think that if the emperor does this, someone must have made an idea behind his back.

The emperor's current most trusted people, Shang Shang and Xue Wenyu, have all gone on the expedition, and now it is his Fan family father and son who remain by his side.

Fan Pu often feels that he is so wronged, because it has nothing to do with him at all! It wasn't his idea at all!

But who will believe it?

What's more, he doesn't need to stand up and explain to others, it's not him, it's really not him!

As for who it was, he couldn't say, but he thought it was most likely that the person should be preparing the ingredients for lunch at this time in the Heart Cultivation Palace.
