Chapter 163: Xiang Longyuan
As soon as Zhang Lang said this, Yang Shao immediately stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, the reason for this is clear. In the humble opinion of the minister, the ten candidates only answered according to the law, and there was no suspicion of fraud. ”
"But it is an indisputable fact that the top eleven have been rounded by southern candidates."
"If the gold list is posted, the northern candidates will inevitably mutiny, questioning the fairness of the imperial examination and questioning the fairness of His Majesty!"
"Lord Hu Yanhu, as the chief examiner of Chunqiu, is ineffective, and he is actually trapped in such a dangerous situation for His Majesty, his heart can be punished."
"Wechen begs His Majesty to punish him to eliminate the unhealthy tendencies in the court!"
As soon as these words were finished, there was already an undercurrent surging in the Qiande Palace.
Many officials are silent, but their eyes are deep, but they are like a secluded pool, and they are bottomless.
When Hu Yan heard this, his face turned even bluer, and his teeth were clenched.
Before the exam, he and Prime Minister Wei Cheng were worried that if there were too many northern candidates on the list, it would be difficult to post the gold list, and they were afraid that they would be used by people with good intentions to call the saint to punish the crime.
It's good now, the top eleven are all rounded by southerners. The Yang family still found a false trick to ask the Holy Lord to punish him.
Co-author, this will test the gold list, is it okay if there are more people in the north, and it is not okay if there are more people in the south? Should the north and the south occupy half of the country?
It's ridiculous!
Seeing that they attacked each other with their words, Wei Qing naturally couldn't sit back and watch his lover be humiliated, so he stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, about the fact that the top eleven candidates were all covered by the southern candidates, it is really the wisdom of the Huainan poet, who predicted the direction of this year's proposition, what did Hu Yan do?"
"And since Hu Yan served as the chief examiner of Chunqiu for half a month, he can be described as sleeping at night, conscientious, and not daring to slack off for a moment."
"If you are so diligent, even if you don't have merit, you still have hard work, and I ask Your Majesty to take it lightly."
After saying this, the old god was always there, and Yang Huai, who had no sense of existence, squinted his eyes and frowned slightly.
Wei Qing's words were nothing brilliant in front of him, just a normal plea.
But the latter sentence is very good.
Because he is not advising His Majesty on what to decide, but to the extent of suggesting His Majesty to decide!
Today's saints, civil governance and martial arts, vow to be comparable to Emperor Taizu Gao, to be the king of Zhongxing.
How would such a person like someone else to make decisions for him?
But if it is only a suggestion to the extent of the decision, it means that the decision is still in his hands, and this is a lot more pleasant.
Wei Qing, Wei Qing, no wonder you can sit in the position of prime minister.
This time, I am afraid that the position of the country's priest will not have anything to do with my nephew.
Sure enough, after Emperor Renxuan pondered for a long time, he slowly spoke:
"If there is such a mistake, Hu Yan, as the chief examiner of Chunqiu, has an unshirkable responsibility."
"But after all, it was an unintentional mistake, so I will be fined for three months to make an example."
As soon as this statement came out, the matter was considered to be a final argument.
After all, today, I don't say anything.
In this court, most of the courtiers only have the right to make suggestions, but not the right to make decisions.
Hearing this, Wei Qing and Hu Yan's faces turned better, and there was a hint of joy between their eyebrows.
Yang Shao frowned, his face was pale and helpless.
Fines for three months to set an example?
Who doesn't know that in this officialdom, Yulu is often the most worthless thing.
Not to mention that these children of these families are from a poor family like Hu Yan, what can they do?
He is famous for his talents, whether he writes poems or articles, and some of them make money.
How can you care about that?
Can...... If this is the case, the position of the son of his country as the priest of wine will be gone.
"Dare to ask the saint, how should this gold list be posted?"
"Just post it truthfully, over the years, my great cadre literary circle has been strong in the north and weak in the south, and there have been shortcomings for a long time. It is just the opportunity to take this opportunity to add some vitality to the talents of the north and the south. ”
"If there are northern candidates making trouble, it will be handled by Hu Qing's family."
"That's the end of the matter, but is there anything else to do?"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Second Prince was on the northern border some time ago, and he has made many military exploits, and he will return soon." The military general Wei Zifu stepped forward.
When Emperor Renxuan heard this, he immediately smiled.
"I have read the information report of Brother Wang of Zhenbei, Yuan'er is very brave and has made many achievements, and he should indeed be rewarded for his good life."
"Among all my sons, only Yuan'er is the most like me."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire hall instantly dropped to freezing.
Under the dragon chair of the Qiande Palace, there is a step, which is the dividing line between the emperor and the ministers.
And the people who can approach this step are not officials, but nobles.
After all, in the final analysis, the world is still noble.
Officials are just beating workers.
At this time, the young man standing closest to the steps, hearing this, frowned slightly, and a faint look of displeasure appeared on his face, but it quickly disappeared, just as if nothing happened.
This person is the prince of Daqian, and the eldest son of Emperor Renxuan, Xiang Baichuan!
The name of Baichuan is taken from the meaning of accepting all rivers.
To be so famous, it can be seen that Emperor Renxuan has high hopes for it.
In fact, Xiang Baichuan also did a good job.
In addition to not being able to fight, he is almost a perfect prince.
It has even won the support of half of the civil officials above the court.
It can be said that if there is no second prince.
Then the throne of this great cadre is basically a certainty.
But on the contrary, the second prince was born!
His political talent is not significant, but he is quite talented in the art of war and martial arts practice.
Over the years, he has followed the king of Zhenbei to fight in the south and the north, and he has made many achievements!
It stands to reason that when the prince reaches the age of 20, he will go out of the capital to become a vassal. No summons, no return.
However, the second prince was already over twenty years old, but he was still left in Qiandu by Emperor Renxuan, which means that it is self-evident.
Besides, the name of the second prince is called Xiang Longyuan, which means that the hidden dragon is in the abyss.
The royal son, but in the name of the dragon.
It can be seen that Emperor Renxuan's expectations for him are no less than that of the crown prince Xiang Baichuan.
Xiang Longyuan has been in the army for many years and has long been deeply loved by the generals.
If he returns at this time, I am afraid that he will be able to establish a faction and fight against the crown prince Xiang Baichuan.
In this way, the situation in the court is afraid to be even more confusing.
And the attitude of Emperor Renxuan seems to be ...... It should be more biased towards the second prince.
Therefore, the ministers frowned, and the generals were overjoyed.
Today's great cadres, surrounded by enemies, is a good time for the generals to throw their heads and spill their blood and make contributions!
In contrast, the status of civil servants is somewhat lower.
It can be said that if there is no king of Zhenbei, the military generals in the court will be much more arrogant.
Even blowing beards and glaring at civil officials is not impossible.
In times of peace and prosperity, the situation is reversed.
"Yuan'er is here, tell him to come to the Ganlu Hall to see me first."
The Qiande Hall is the place where the court meeting is held, and the Ganlu Hall is the place where Emperor Renxuan receives ministers and handles government affairs on weekdays.
Summoning the second prince here is a favor in itself.
"No!" Wei Zifu's words revealed a trace of imperceptible joy.
