The corners of Mr. Chi's mouth twitched, and he hesitated how to say it in order to avoid embarrassment.

Although the student in front of her is not an ordinary boudoir girl, she is still a little girl who has not yet reached the end of her life.

Although Shen Tong didn't know why, he also felt that Mao Yuanmei's problem must be unspeakable.

Mr. Chi is a reader, and the reader is thin-skinned, so forget it, or don't ask.

Shen Tong immediately diverted the topic and asked, "Since Mao Yuanmei is not reused in the Hanlin Academy, how can he do the main exam for next year's general examination?" I heard that over the years, those who have been able to sit in the position of the chief examiner are either important ministers of the court with high moral standing and respect, or they are also world-famous leaders in the literary world, no matter how you look at it, Mao Yuanmei doesn't seem to be on the sidelines. ”

Once he took the main exam, the jinshi in that subject were all his students, and whether these jinshi entered the cabinet in the future or went down in history, he was their teacher.

Mr. Chi's eyes flashed with contempt, and he said: "I'm a wasted person, but I occasionally play chess and tea with two or three friends on weekdays. After the marriage of the Son of Heaven, Emperor Liu returned to his hometown, and then it was rumored that Emperor Liu was ostensibly returning to his hometown, but in fact, because of one or two sentences he said during the lecture, he was secretly told to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager did not punish him because of the prestige of Emperor Liu in Shilin, but only let herself say goodbye. Although there was no fanfare about this matter, the palace did not deliberately conceal it, so although the streets and alleys did not know about it, everyone in the Hanlin Courtyard knew about it. ”

Hearing this, Shen Tong frowned slightly and asked, "The Empress Dowager deliberately let people spread it, does she not want to invite the emperor to the Son of Heaven anymore?" ”

Mr. Chi sneered: "I don't know if the Empress Dowager doesn't want to invite another emperor to the Son of Heaven, but the Empress Dowager really didn't designate another emperor, but ordered the Hanlin Academy to send a Hanlin who is proficient in history every three days to give a lecture to the Son of Heaven. Although it was only an hour, the situation in the palace was complicated, and there were lessons from Emperor Liu's past, but only a few people in the Hanlin Courtyard were willing to come. Later, even these people pushed back and forth, and finally pushed it to Mao Yuanmei, a big idler. ”

Shen Tong's heart moved, could it be that Mao Yuanmei actually relied on this opportunity to gain power?

Mr. Chi continued: "I don't know how Mao Yuanmei actually pleased the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven actually changed the lectures every three days to two days, the Empress Dowager heard about it, she was displeased, but this Mao Yuanmei is Mao Yuanjiu's cousin, although his reputation is not good, but he is also the in-law of the Yang family after all, and the Empress Dowager still gives some face. It just so happened that the Hanlin Academy was going to compile a book, and the Empress Dowager personally ordered Mao Yuanmei to participate in the compilation of the book, which exempted him from the errand of entering the palace to study, and replaced other Hanlin scholars. ”

"Went to make up the book? That's a good thing to pass on to future generations. "The books edited by the Hanlin Academy are all official copies, and the Hanlin people are proud to be able to sign on them.

"Yes, the Empress Dowager thought that she had given Mao Yuanmei this gift, and this matter would be over, but she didn't expect that this book had just been compiled, and it happened that when the ministers in the court were arguing about who would be the main exam next year, the Son of Heaven, who had always been silent and closed his eyes to recuperate, actually opened the golden mouth." Mr. Chi said.

Shen Tong opened his mouth and said in disbelief: "Could it be that the emperor named Mao Yuanmei to be the main examiner in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces?" ”

Mr. Chi nodded and said: "The Son of Heaven appointed Mao Yuanmei, you must know that the call for the emperor to be pro-government has never been broken, the emperor has already reached the age of being able to pro-government, if it is the usual early dynasty, it is just that, that day is in the Wangchao, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and hundreds of officials in Beijing are gathered, in this case, the Empress Dowager can still reprimand the emperor for not succeeding?" The emperor is Chrysostom. Mao Yuanjiu is the secretary of the ministry and the son-in-law of the Yang family, and the henchmen of the Yang family want to give him face. Those who had always been dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager's refusal to hand over the government were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they thought that this was the first intention of the emperor's pro-government, and they immediately expressed their support. It's ridiculous that no one raised any objections to the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and the matter was settled. ”

Shen Tong was dumbfounded, she didn't know much about the affairs of the court, in her opinion, it must be sacred and solemn, but listening to Mr. Chi's eloquent words, why was it a little ridiculous?

So Mao Yuanmei became the main examiner like this? That's ridiculous, isn't it? Shen Tong was still in disbelief.

Mr. Chi smiled contemptuously: "Those officials have settled this matter, but the scholars in the whole world are deeply ashamed, I don't know about other places, but as far as I know, those people in Xi'an City, like the Wang brothers, all said that they would not end up next year." ”

Mr. Chi's chest rose and fell, and his tone was calm but could not hide his anger: "This is the shame of the world's scholars, even if the Toad Palace is crowned, but to worship shameless people as teachers, it will be a lifelong shame." I'd like to see who the two lists are next year. ”

Shen Tong grinned, is this scolding all the students who will take the exam next year?

She is really destined not to be a scholar, she doesn't have this kind of integrity.

Just now, a thought flashed in her mind: If those who are learned don't go to the entrance examination, wouldn't it be just right to fish in troubled waters, but it's a pity that women are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, otherwise she will ...... Forget it, even if only a few people participated, she couldn't pass the test.

Therefore, she was really ashamed, so ashamed, so ashamed that Shen Tong left after eating.

Shen Tong returned home to bathe and change clothes, and it was not until this time that Fang Fei, Yan Cui and Yun Buhua came back.

Shen Tong asked, "Didn't meet anyone patrolling the city?" ”

Fang Fei looked very experienced: "The slave came back after counting the hour, and when she walked to the academy street, the city patrol came out." ”

Yancui hurriedly echoed: "Yes, Sister Fangfei is accurate, she said that she only came out when she walked to Shuyuan Street to patrol the city, and sure enough, when we turned into the alley, we really saw the city patrol coming." ”

Then, Yancui began to count the treasures, what shops they went to visit today, what fun things they bought, what delicious things they ate, one by one, she was so articulate that she actually said that Shen Tong wanted to go out for a walk.

Finally sent Fang Fei and Yancui out, Shen Tong left Yun Buhua and asked, "I walked around Xi'an for a day today, can you still adapt?" ”

Yun Buhua smiled: "It's okay." ”

It seems that although I don't like it, I don't dislike it.

Shen Tong said: "You rest early today, and tomorrow we will leave for Ci'anzhuang." ”
