As one of the few people who didn't have a hangover, Xiao Han was extremely happy in his heart.

After this morning, Xiao Qi left in a hurry with Zhang Yuanqing and 'Xue Hao', and now everyone knows that 'Xue Hao' and the prince are close, and it is strange to leave together.

She followed Xiao Qi back to the East Palace, and said in a low voice: "Regarding those students, do you want to meet them in advance, or are you talking about them after the Spring Festival?" ”

Xu was because of the hangover, his face was still not very good, and his expression was a little impatient: "Their words, let's wait for the spring to pass." To become a lonely staff, at least you have to be promoted, otherwise you will lose the face of the East Palace. ”

Although Xiao Yan's tone was not good, what he said was not unreasonable. No matter how much they match their abilities, they will at least pass the spring level.

As soon as she talked about Chunqiu, she thought of the candidate for the examiner: "Your Highness, Lin Zhengyue has already said hello over there, and he will pay attention to the situation of the students, and if there is a suitable candidate, he will pay more attention." ”

Xiao Qi nodded: "I know." ”

Since then, she has been quietly by Xiao Yan's side, but from time to time she will be called by the emperor's uncle, and her days are as plain as flowing water.

However, during this period, a large number of students entered the capital to participate in the examination.

In order to allow students to review with peace of mind and participate in the examination, Taixue stopped classes early and let all students go home to review.

Affected by this, Xiao Qi and they didn't have to go to Taixue anymore, but still went to the imperial study to review the folds.

The examination will be held in three sessions, one on three days, the first on the 19th of the first lunar month, the second on the 22nd, and the third on the 25th. Admission one day, exit the next. The three test items are four books, five words and eight rhymes, five scriptures and questions.

Before the start of the exam, she also deliberately dragged Xiao Qi to disguise herself as an ordinary student to participate in the poetry meeting.

Before the exam, the largest poetry meetings were held in the Yanyu Building, where most of the Shixun's children in the capital would also gather.

In order not to be recognized, they deliberately avoided the Yanyu Building, and instead went to other small poetry clubs, which were held spontaneously by ordinary poor children.

The two of them really found a few suitable candidates, and Zhang Yuanqing was sent to participate in the poetry meeting of Yanyulou.

Before the start of the examination, Emperor Wu'an issued a holy decree, which shocked the government and the opposition.

That is to let the crown prince officially enter the court and begin to learn the experience of managing the court.

Just before the hundred officials could react, another holy decree was issued.

The holy decree is to canonize Xiao Han, the lord of Pingle County, as the Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion, and to take charge of the political affairs of the government, the fang, and the bureau to assist the prince.

As soon as the will came out, it overshadowed the prince's entry into the court, and the ministers' recitals poured into the imperial case like snowflakes.

All this was expected by Emperor Wu'an, and a woman's entry into the court as an official was a precedent, so she would naturally encounter many obstacles.

However, Emperor Wu An quietly belittled several of the most powerful officials who were making trouble, and then refused to withdraw his will on the grounds that 'the spring season has begun, and there are many affairs'.

At first, two-thirds of the courtiers were opposed, but then some military attachés chose to remain silent, and gradually less than half of the people opposed, and finally the ministers of the court and the central government began to accept it slowly.

These are naturally indispensable to Emperor Wu'an's secret operation, and there is also Zhenguo Gong who escorted Xiao Han.

After the matter calmed down, Xiao Qi, with the help of Xiao Han, quietly gained a firm foothold in the court.

The several candidates she chose before, under the condition that their original positions remained unchanged, concurrently served as subordinate officials of the East Palace.

After coming back to his senses, many people with ulterior motives began to attack the prince.

After Cui Guangxi and Zhang Wang's investigation, the results were handed over to the prince.

After the crown prince presented all the evidence, Emperor Wu An was furious, removed from his post, and seriously exiled directly.

For a while, there was a lot of noise in the middle of the court, and it was the spring season, and Emperor Wu'an was not afraid of a vacancy in the court.

After the contest between the monarch and the minister, the court gradually calmed down, and the hundred officials no longer fought against the emperor.

But Xiao Han, who was secretly observing from the side, found that taking advantage of this opportunity, the emperor's uncle quietly removed some children of families with low official positions.

Xu sensed the danger, and the four great families began to lie dormant one after another, and they also restrained a lot in the court.

Under the strong influence of Emperor Wu'an, the crown prince successfully entered the court, and she also became the Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu.

The reason why he chose this official position must have been a lot of thought about the emperor's uncle.

She is the prince's attendant, so she is naturally a proper 'princeling', and it is best under the protection of the prince.

Before the start of the spring season, Lin Zhengyue found her privately.

The reason why Lin Zhengyue came to her is also very simple, because many people privately wanted to bribe him and cheat in the imperial examination.

This is Lin Zhengyue's first time as an examiner, and he knows in his heart that this kind of thing can't be done, once he is reported, then his life will be ruined.

However, among those who gave gifts, there were many first- and second-class officials in the DPRK and China, and if they refused, it would hinder his future.

After thinking about it, he thought of the county lord of Pingle. In his opinion, the county lord of Pingle is now favored by the holy family, plus he is a subordinate official of the East Palace, and now the county lord of Pingle is his boss, telling her is the most suitable.

When Lin Zhengyue asked to see her, she had actually vaguely guessed the reason why he asked to see him. The matter of the Liu family was before, and what Lin Zhengyue was going to face was self-evident.

She first comforted Lin Zhengyue a few words, and only when his mood stabilized did she speak: "No matter who comes to give you a gift, you just accept it all." However, after accepting it, I want you to register your name and things and give them to me. ”

"This..."It seemed that he didn't expect the county lord of Pingle to say this, and his expression was a little hesitant.

Xiao Han gave him a reassurance: "Don't worry, I gave these things to Your Majesty for the purpose, you just have to rest assured and boldly accept them, if something goes wrong, there is also the lord of this county!" ”

With Xiao Han's assurance, Lin Zhengyue was also relieved and did what she told her.

On the eve of the exam, he sent someone to hand over the list to Liu Xing, and Liu Xing handed it over to her in the palace through the secret guard.

When I opened the list, I saw that there were really a lot of candidates on it, ranging from wealthy businessmen in the city, to Beijing officials of six or seven grades, to first-class officials in the DPRK and China, densely packed, with dozens of people.

She didn't dare to delay, and went to Yong'an Palace to face the saint the day after receiving the news.

After arriving at Yong'an Palace, Gonggong Liu, who was guarding outside the hall, looked worried: "The county lord, please wait for a while, the saint is unwell, and the white divine doctor is healing the saint inside." If the county lord has anything important, he might as well go to the side hall to rest for a while, and when the saint wakes up, the old slave will report to the saint. ”

Xiao Han thought about it and felt that Gonggong Liu's words were very reasonable, so he followed Gonggong Liu's words and went to the side hall of Yong'an Palace.
