Chapter 55: Red Face
The lifters had the courage to eat some on the spot, and they were not so panicked, and after a while, the eunuchs also sent tea and snacks to the ministers who were doing, and everyone tacitly knew that the emperor was considerate of the ministers, and they all ate a little, and at about four o'clock in the afternoon, people began to hand in the papers one after another, and the spirit of the chief examiner and the deputy chief examiners came, and they began to read the papers.
Pick out a good one to draw a circle on it, and then submit it to the cabinet ministers for reading, the cabinet ministers think it is good to draw a circle, submit it to the emperor's imperial review, the whole marking procedure is carried out in an orderly manner, Guo Xing received a few volumes, and it also looks carefully, it is considered far-sighted for this era, or there are talents, and several volumes are circled by the imperial pen.
When it gets dark, the last place is also handed in, and the rest is to read the papers, and after a night's work, the emperor list will be posted tomorrow morning. I had to work overtime.
On the whole, the ceremony of the imperial court can be described as smooth sailing, and nothing went wrong. The controversy among the ministers over the top three has not stopped, Wang Zhen of Yizhou, Lu Xuan of Suzhou, Zhuge Xuan of Jiangzhou, Zhou Qi of Jingzhou, and Sun De of Yuzhou are the most controversial, and the five people can be said to be equal to each other, and they are all talented people.
The ministers of several people's articles are reading and arguing sentence by sentence, the atmosphere is good, there is no selfishness, Guo Xing is great relief in his heart, his father left him all people who can be of great use, all of them are straightforward and dare to speak out without fear of offending people, the battle of knowledge is not to give an inch, it is very fierce, and finally Guo Xing also joined it, and the debate lasted for more than an hour, and a compromise was reached.
Wang Zhen of Dianyizhou was the champion, Zhou Qi of Jingzhou was the leader, Zhuge Xuan of Jiangzhou, Sun De of Yuzhou, and Lu Xuan of Suzhou were the three of Tanhua, which could be regarded as calming the controversy of the ministers.
The others set the list of the top two and top three according to the ranking. At this time, the sky was already dark, Guo Xing looked at the tired ministers and said, "All of you here today have a day of rest and recover your spirits, and the time for the Jinshi to enter the palace will be set in three days, which will be arranged by the Ministry of Rites."
The ministers received the order to thank him, and Guo Xing then said, "Zhou Quan, you arrange someone to post the imperial list" Zhou Quan responded "Yes, go down and prepare, since Guo Xing took over the throne, Zhou Quan and Wang Tao have gradually carried out the handover, Wang Tao still went to wait for the old emperor Guo Wei, and Zhou Quan took over."
There are still a few places in the original palace of Prince Wu The housekeeper of the imperial village has become Guan Fuzi, Guan Fuzi has no intention of being an official, so he stayed in the original mansion as a housekeeper, these days Zhou Quan is both busy and excited, and he finally walked to the highest position of the eunuchs.
Guo Xing returned to Ouchi and slept alone, the queen was already pregnant, and went to the summer resort to ask the old emperor and queen mother to say goodbye, the queen wanted to go to the summer resort and had her own plans, and now Guo Xing was serving by himself, that was not good, and he had to choose a concubine for Guo Xing.
Guo Xing's temper Queen Hu Fei is very well understood, so the queen can't tell Guo Xing, she can only ask the Emperor Taishang or the Queen Mother to give an order by greeting An, Hu Fei understands that as the queen, if she doesn't arrange a few more women for Guo Xing, it will give people an excuse, and Hu Fei can't let people give An the reputation of a jealous woman.
What's more, Hu Fei is pregnant, Guo Xing also needs someone to serve, if Queen Hu Fei mentions it directly to Guo Xing, she will definitely be pushed over by Guo Xing, the queen knows that it is a matter of time or time for Guo Xing to choose a concubine, and it is very helpful for her to control the harem by arranging for her close people to come in first, so she can only go to the Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager to make an order.
Not to mention the celebrations after the emperor watched the emperor's list, it was already afternoon when the queen arrived at the summer resort, and she rested for a night in the middle of the villa, and after going to the villa to see the emperor and the queen mother, she tactfully said her thoughts, and the emperor and the queen mother heard that this was a good thing, and praised the queen, and everyone decided after discussing it that the two queen mothers and queens would return to Beijing to handle the matter five days later.
Guo Wei, continue to stay in the summer resort, Guo Wei has been walking with a few concubines every day since he abdicated and has been practicing martial arts that he has not practiced for many years, he is in a happy mood, there are not so many worries, I didn't expect to feel the breakthrough of the qi, and my heart is a burst of excitement, after all, my longevity will increase after the breakthrough.
I thought that my martial arts would not improve, but I didn't expect that I still had a chance to be promoted, so I increased the time to practice martial arts every day, you know, after the breakthrough in martial arts, Shouyuan will also increase, Guo Wei must want to live longer.
On this day, Guo Wei took a walk in the garden after practicing martial arts and bathing, accompanied by Wang Tao, and felt that Wang Tao was uncomfortable for a while, so he wanted to have something to say to himself but didn't dare to say it, and the twisting look was ridiculous.
Speaking of waiting, Wang Tao has accompanied him in his own small waiting, and he has been through ups and downs for decades, and he can be said to be the most trusted person around him.
After walking for a while, Guo Wei stopped, looked at Wang Tao and said, "You old thing, you have been with me for so many years, what can't you say, what do you squirm like?"
Wang Tao was embarrassed for a while when he saw Guo Wei talking about himself, so he knelt down directly, "Your Majesty still knows that the slave has something in her heart, and the old slave doesn't know what to say" Wang Tao has a bitter look on his face.
Guo Wei laughed, "How many years have you and I been a monarch and a minister, if the matter is small, you can do it yourself, what can make you uncomfortable is definitely not a trivial matter, let's say, as long as you can do it, I will call the shots for you" People have feelings, and Guo Wei is the same.
Wang Tao was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him and said, "Your Majesty, the villain's goddaughter Ji Yanran, Your Majesty still remembers"
Guo Wei thought for a while and said, "I know, what's wrong."
Wang Tao said all the things about the third master Guo Zhong inviting Guo Xing to dinner and then letting Ji Yanran accompany him, including Guo Xing writing poems to Ji Yanran, Ji Yanran loved Guo Xing, Guo Xing was dedicated to martial arts at that time and did not love foreign objects, Ji Yanran was still waiting stupidly, haggard, and recently he was sick and said in the circle of 1510, and finally asked Guo Wei to call the shots to marry Ji Yanran to Guo Xing, any name is fine, and after speaking, he kowtowed again and again.
Wang Tao deeply knew that the identities of the two were too different, if he didn't love Ji Yanran too much, he wouldn't have begged Guo Wei, what he was afraid of was Guo Wei's embarrassment, after all, no one knew Guo Xing's thoughts.
Guo Wei listened to Wang Tao quietly, did not say a word, and thought in his heart that it was a few women he had failed when he was young, and his heart was sad for a while, Wang Tao's matter is not a big deal, but it is not a trivial matter, it is said that he told Guo Xing that Guo Xing will definitely do it, but Guo Wei does not want to do this, and after he retreated, he decided not to participate in any foreign affairs.
After pondering for a while, he said, "You get up, Yanran, that child, I remember, I have suffered this child, but I can't tell Xing'er directly about this matter, I said that Xing'er will definitely do it, but whether it will take Yanran in the future is not necessarily."
Wang Tao answered, "The little one is also thinking about this, so he can't make up his mind, and he is in a dilemma, so that Your Majesty will suffer."
Guo Wei smiled and said, "You old man is still sloppy with me."
Guo Wei walked back and forth a few steps, stopped and said, "You go and call Guo Zhong to me, this matter comes from him, and it ends with him" Wang Tao was overjoyed when he heard this, knowing that Guo Wei was solving this matter for himself, and he could also explain to his goddaughter, gave Guo Wei a salute, and turned around to make arrangements.
The third master, Guo Zhong, has nothing to do recently, so he followed the princess to listen to the play at home, and he was on the rise, so he listened to the housekeeper come to report, "Lord, Wang Tao is here" Guo Zhong was stunned, and said that Wang Tao was not accompanying the emperor in the summer resort, why did he come here, did something happen.
Guo Zhong glanced at the princess, and the princess was also confused, so she asked, "What about people?"
The housekeeper said, "I'm drinking tea in the living room."
Guo Zhong stood up and said to the princess, "I'll go see what's going on," and after speaking, he followed the housekeeper to the living room.
Wang Tao came to Guo Zhong's mansion after seeing Ji Yan at his residence in Beijing, to say that Ji Yanran is really haggard now, her body is thin and not decent, her eyes are blank, and she is also sick.
Seeing Wang Tao, struggling to get up and salute, Wang Tao felt distressed for a while, let Ji Yanran lie down and said, "Girl, about you, I have already told the emperor and his old man with a cheeky face, and now his old man will have arrangements, but how can you meet people when you are like this."
Ji Yanran was stunned and asked, "Godfather, what did you say to the Emperor?"
Wang Tao said, "What can you say, it's not a matter between you and today's saint, with the emperor in charge, what else do you have to worry about."
Ji Yanran was overjoyed when she heard this, and her spirit improved a lot, and then Wang Tao said, "It's just that you look like you now, I'm afraid it's difficult to do."
Ji Yanran is heart disease, as long as the heart disease is removed, it will be able to get better immediately, and she is grateful to Wang Tao for a while, "Godfather, for the sake of your daughter's business, let your godfather worry about it, and her daughter will get better soon," After speaking, his face was red, Wang Tao looked at it and understood in his heart that the female big girl would not stay, and she would stay and stay as an enemy.
"The Emperor Taishang said, this matter started from the third master Guo Zhong invited you to accompany you, and Guo Zhong should have gone to the end, the godfather came this time, that is, Xuan Guo Zhong went to the summer resort to see the emperor, you have to hurry up and take care of your body, don't miss a good thing" Ji Yanran nodded with a red face, Wang Tao left after explaining again, and went straight to the third master Guo Zhong's house.
Guo Zhong went to the living room to see Wang Tao, to be honest, Wang Tao also hated Guo Zhong a little, and said that without you to build a bridge from it, my goddaughter would not see Prince Wu, and if I didn't see Prince Wu, I wouldn't be sick like this, everything was provoked by you, what the Emperor Taishang said is good, and you should solve the problem you provoked.
