Qian Hanlin didn't want to be "sober" at all, at least not in that way,

A five-rank Hanlin like him does not have half of the real power in the court, and to put it bluntly, it is an existence that bullies the soft and fears the hard. Chu Ye is already a second-grade member, and he is a person who can speak in the court. In addition, Qian Hanlin had also seen how powerful Chu Ye was, so he could only be stunned and stupidly watched a group of guards drag Liu Chengxian out of the Tribute Courtyard.

Wu Junpeng's shouts still echoed in the sky above the Gongyuan. The voice was very poignant.

Qian Hanlin gritted his teeth, followed Chu Ye's footsteps in a gray manner, and entered the hall of the Tribute Courtyard with her.

Seeing that the two examiners had returned, the lifters hurriedly withdrew their gaze and put all their minds on the answer sheet. But some moves are difficult to calm down.

However, in the time of half a cup of tea, the matter of Wu Junpeng bribing the examiner spread in the Gongyuan, and some of them originally had such thoughts. was originally annoyed by Wu Junpeng's preemption, but now seeing him being dragged out, I feel a little more happy. But after all, the commotion has come out, they don't have any real talent to learn, and now they have no way to bribe, and they all see that they have no hope in this field, and they can't help but be depressed. Even when I put pen to paper, I couldn't help but feel a little weak.

Chu Ye took in the reactions of all parties.

The purpose of the ceremony is to select outstanding talents to help the monarch govern the country and secure the people. If those who are not worthy of the name are called to fish in troubled waters, the title of the gold list. Even if they are only assigned to remote villages and counties as officials, they will make the people live in dire straits.

And what made her feel very fortunate was that the person she had favored before did not disrupt her state because of this riot, and still answered attentively. Chu Ye couldn't help but nod with satisfaction. If this person is really talented and discerning, whether he is from a family or a poor family, Chu Ye is willing to promote him and become an official in the same dynasty as her.

Chu Ye nodded secretly and sat back on the main seat in the lobby, with an indifferent expression, as if nothing had happened. And although Qian Hanlin also returned to the hall with her, he was not as calm as Chu Ye, he was hanging, for fear that Chu Ye would give an order and let him go to accompany Liu Hanlin outside the Tribute Courtyard.

The sun was setting in the west, and the first exam of the present Keli was over.

The next exam was scheduled for three days later, and the lifters were released from the Gongyuan and scattered. Chu Ye, on the other hand, had to seal the test papers and archive them together with several other deputy examiners before he could leave. Liu Hanlin put his head dizzy and swollen, even if he was poured two buckets of cold water, he should have gritted his teeth and did not open his eyes. The soldiers had to go and ask Chu Ye again, Chu Ye didn't want to be too ruthless, but because the exam was not over, no one could leave the Tribute Academy. In the end, he asked people to inform Liu Hanlin's little servant, and set up a courtyard in the tribute courtyard to let them rest first. Wait until the end of the exam, and then let them go home to "heal".

As soon as the examination was over, the events of the Gongyuan were quickly spread among the current imperial examinations. Everyone said that this year's main exam was a good official, and they even thought that with such a main exam, these poor students would definitely be able to get the title of the gold list and enter the official career.

Everyone was immersed in a jubilant atmosphere.

Chu Yunjin returned to the inn where he lived from the Gongyuan, and he didn't bother to tell the innkeeper how he felt about today's exam, so he went upstairs and went back to his room.

Most of the students who entered Beijing to take the exam lived in this champion building, one is the joy of dipping the name of the store, and the other is because although this inn is in the city, the cost is really not high, which is more suitable for those who are shy in their pockets.

Chu Yunjin lived in the No. E room of the Zhuangyuan Building. This guest room is not the best room in the Zhuangyuan Building, it can only be regarded as above average, but in view of the fact that the courtyard of the place number is next to a deep bamboo forest, it is very quiet both day and night, which is very suitable for them to study and study, so the courtyard of this place number is more difficult to grab than the courtyard of the son of heaven. Chu Yunjin came early, so he chose the quietest room early.

He put his bag on his desk and sat down in his chair.

He replied with some regret.

He came all the way from Xiangzhou to Beijing, although he had long heard that there were many well-off people in the same department as him, but Chu Yunjin believed in his true talent and learning. The gentleman of the academy said that he had achieved great success, but when he saw the topic of this course, all that flashed in his mind was all the chaos in Mintun along the way. As soon as his mind was hot, he criticized it in the volume. When he put away the pen for inspection, he realized that the chief examiner of this subject was the old Song Guolao who advocated the Tuntian system at the beginning, and he sprinkled thousands of words, cheering up for those Tuntian villagers, I am afraid that he offended this high-status veteran of the Three Dynasties.

Chu Yunjin sighed, he was afraid that he would be hopeless.

It's not that he didn't think about packing his bags and going back to Xiangzhou, but after all, there are still two more, and if he performs well in the next two exams, it is not impossible for him to win the Gongshi.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunjin's eyes shone again.

Today's examiner was resolute and took advantage of Wu Junpeng's incident to beat all those who tried to bribe. As long as he is still the main examiner, the Gongshi of this subject must be those who have real talent and learning.

What did he remember the name of the examiner?

Chu Ye?

The corners of Chu Yunjin's mouth curled slightly, and his eyes were gentle. He believed that the people named Chu Ye must be good people!

He put away all his thoughts, turned out his book again, lit the oil lamp, and prepared to fight at night. On the other side of the imperial capital, Chu Ye experienced a whole day of torture, and finally arrived at his Shangshu Mansion.

A few years ago, Chu Ye served in the Ministry of Rites, but after all, he was only responsible for scientific research and did not personally invigilate the examination. She had long heard that the invigilator of the imperial examination was the fattest beauty in the court, but she never thought that those people would be so bold as to dare to pay bribes on the spot of the examination. And those self-proclaimed Hanlin bachelors are like pimps, connecting with the examiner for those indiscriminate moves!

The subordinates watched Chu Ye return to Shangshu Mansion angrily, and couldn't help but look at each other.

Their Lord Shangshu is always good-tempered. Every New Year's Festival, there is a lot of reward, and it is rare to return home with an angry face like today.

"Daddy!" Chu Shan sat in the flower hall, and there was already a table of good dishes on the table in front of him.

But Chu Ye had no appetite at all. She suppressed the anger in her heart and said to Chu Shan: "Xiaoshan eat it yourself, Daddy still has some things to deal with first." ”

Chu Shan blinked, his eyes full of loss. However, she quickly cheered up and comforted herself: "Today is Daddy's first day of invigilation, it must be very hard, she wants to be a sensible and well-behaved child, and she can't always pester Daddy." ”

She nodded, and urged, "Then Daddy, go quickly!" She paused, and then asked in a low voice, "Then Sister Yunqing can eat at the same table with Xiaoshan?" ”

Chu Ye glanced at Yun Qing, who was waiting on the side, and a trace of darkness flashed in his eyes. She said word by word: "Sister Yunqing plays with you every day, you have to cherish it." ”

Chu Shan smiled coquettishly, like an orange cat that has always been fat.

Chu Ye looked at her smiling face, and most of the anger in his heart disappeared in an instant. No wonder people say that there should be a child in the house, although there is a bit of a fuss, but it is indeed a cure.

Chu Ye no longer lingered in the flower hall and walked back to his room along the stone path.

The furnishings in the room were the same as always, even the solid wood chair behind the desk was empty. Chu Ye's heart was inexplicably like the chair.

In the past, Sima Jin always ran to her house with a dead face. But the excuse is not allowed for her to refuse

- People are here to see their daughter!

Chu Ye also once asked Sima Jin: Since the edict of canonizing Chu Shan as the county lord has been issued, why do you still raise Xiaoshan in her mansion.

Sima Jin just pretended to smile mysteriously and said nothing. Later, Chu Ye was in a hurry, so he lazily made an excuse, saying that he had been obsessed with gardening recently and was working hard to clean up the yard.

Chu Ye scoffed at this.

What kind of gardening, if you want her to say, it is clear that she is cleaning up her subordinates, and some people are making irresponsible remarks after Chu Shan of the province passed the house.

However, let His Royal Highness the Prime Minister personally go to the ground to weed, and this subordinate is probably not a nobody who is not worth mentioning.

Speaking of Sima Jin's subordinates, Chu Ye thought of the two brothers and sisters of Minghua and Mingruo.

Since she saw them in Sima Jin's courtyard last year, she didn't seem to have seen the brother and sister again. Didn't Sima Jin say that these two siblings were very important to him?

"Also," Chu Ye laughed to himself, "That's the person who grew up with him." ”

She slumped into her chair with self-abandonment, her eyes blank, but in fact there was a hint of sadness.

Since Chu Ye's rebirth, she has been cautious everywhere, and after she was promoted one after another, many courtiers wanted to make friends, but she rejected Zhuzi's suggestion to put on a small banquet because she was afraid of being impeached by the imperial history for "party privacy". Even sometimes, when one of her colleagues invited her, she refused to do so. In this way, there are many people who privately say that Chu Ye, the newly promoted Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, is a stinky stone that is hard and soft and does not eat.

Today, she gave the face of the Hanlin Bachelor in public, and I am afraid that her name as a "stinky stone" can be spread far again.

But she didn't regret it at all.

Taking bribes is a big crime, and she doesn't want to fold on it herself.

Chu Ye sat up straight, and she frowned. Today's incident doesn't seem like an occasional act, but Liu Hanlin's familiar behavior gives her a feeling of "assembly line". It was as if they had eaten it correctly, and she, the chief examiner, had the silver ticket of one thousand taels of silver.

And his Chu Ye's behavior was like a sharp blade rushing out of the barrier, catching them off guard.

This made Chu Ye have to wonder if the chief examiners of the previous Lifu had accepted bribes from the reference jux.

If so...... Chu Ye gritted her teeth, if this is the case, she is only afraid that she will be impeached by the imperial history tomorrow morning, and asks His Majesty to change the examiner. Those imperial histories are famously picky in eggs and making things out of nothing. It's obviously nothing, but they can say it as if it's true.

Even if she had always been careful, she had to be guarded.

It's just that Sima Jin didn't come today, and she didn't even have anyone to discuss.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo!"

Outside the window, there was a sudden cuckoo call, and Chu Ye frowned when he heard it.

This cuckoo has always migrated from the south in April and May, and now it is not early spring, which stupid cuckoo will land in her yard at this time?

A flash of joy suddenly rose in her heart, and she opened the window in surprise with the delicate beauty of her little daughter.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo!"

The birds still make the sound of "cuckoo" without giving up, but the blue-green bird feathers make people play.

The blue bird landed proudly in front of Chu Ye's window, with the contempt of the king in his eyes, as if he was disgusted with Chu Ye, and he opened the window so late to welcome Lord Blue Bird into the house!

It flapped its wings and struggled in Chu Ye's room as if it were its own home!
