"Student Yan Song, meet the emperor, long live my emperor." Yan Song bowed and bowed.

Zhu Houzhao looked at him from behind the jade screen, he really looked dignified and had an extraordinary bearing, if I were still the original Zhu Houzhao, I might still be deceived by your appearance, hehe.

"Get up." Zhu Houzhao said in a faint tone and told him to get up.

Yan Song's heart turned quickly, and he immediately thought about his behavior, whether he was not doing well enough, which made the emperor dislike him.

"Thank you for your grace."

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself, isn't there some restless ministers who have been contacting everywhere recently, if at this time, I let Yan Song participate in it and catch all those bad intentions, with his identity at this time, he will definitely let those people have no defense.

Yan Song has not yet been branded as a person at this time, his identity is clean, and he is the third place in the Enke examination, and his future is limitless, but at this time, if this Tanhualang responds to their call, he will definitely make the world's readers more united, and even Tanhualang responds to them.

The most important thing is that he can kill two birds with one stone, so that after Yan Song offends all the ministers and scholars, he will no longer have the opportunity to make trouble, he can only become his most obedient dog Zhu Houzhao, and his reputation is stinky on the street, who cares about you, that powerful minister who leans towards the government and the opposition, is not famous in the government and the opposition at the beginning, and now cut off this road for him, so that everyone is disgusted with this person, who else will follow behind him?

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao doesn't plan to go around in circles with him, if Yan Song is a smart person, he can understand, if he is stupid, Zhu Houzhao doesn't mind asking Liu Jin to let him disappear, anyway, there are people under him!

"The third place in the top three of today's department, Yan Song, you are very good, I have read your answer sheet and strategy, and the idea is good, I need a talent like you." Zhu Houzhao first gave a candied date in the heart of the emperor.

Yan Song was so excited that he didn't expect that he had also entered the eyes of the Son of Heaven, and there seemed to be a bright and smooth road in front of him, so he hurriedly bowed his head and bowed; "Students are ashamed, students are ashamed."

"This is what you won yourself, I am a person who cherishes talents, with your ranking in this department, it was enough to enter the court as an official, but I need you to do something for me, in exchange for your future, it is done, the six departments will have you a seat in the future, and it is okay to want to enter the cabinet, if you fail, your future will be hopeless, I Chrysostom Yuyan, you think about it yourself, whether you want to share my worries." Zhu Houzhao spoke lightly behind the jade screen.

Yan Song was complacent and complacent one moment ago, but the next second he was struck by a thunderbolt, and the outside was scorched and the inside was tender, the emperor suddenly opened the golden mouth and asked him to share his worries, which seemed to be giving him a chance, but why, he was just a top three who could try, and the emperor had countless capable people, so what did he need to do.

The main thing is that now the emperor has spoken, to put it bluntly, that is, the Son of Heaven needs him to do this, why is it him, Liu Zizhang can't? The first fork in the road in life appeared, and if you go wrong, there is no daylight, and there is no place to die, no matter if you know it, or you don't know the plan of the Son of Heaven, what you want him to do, you will not end well.

If you agree, think about what you have to do, it is also a thing that offends people, and it can even make you not feel better, but it can make him see hope, a bright future, just ahead, do you want to agree?

Yan Song is just a moment's choice, and he has an answer, a fool will refuse the Son of Heaven, Liubu, how many people don't want to go in for a lifetime, not to mention, the Son of Heaven has also opened the Golden Mouth, and it is also promising to enter the cabinet in the future, and if he fails, the future is hopeless, it is simply to tell him, you had better be smart and accept my conditions, otherwise you will go back and continue to cultivate, if it is you, how do you choose.

One step to heaven, one step to hell, do it, the great opportunity is in front of you, if you don't seize it, how can you be worthy of your more than ten years of hard work, and show your ambitions.

"Students are willing to share their worries for the emperor." Yan Song said simply.

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said with a smile; "Liu Jin, show it to him."

"Yes." Liu Jin responded.

"Take a good look, this is the secret performance of Dongchang and Jinyiwei." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

When he got the fold and was about to open it, his hand shook suddenly, and the secret note fell to the ground, and he hurriedly knelt down; "A capital offense for students."

"I want you to see, and you want to think of your own solution, to deal with this matter, if there is any trouble, immediately send a message to the palace, I will arrange for the Jinyi Guard secret agent to help you, remember my words, since you agreed, you are not allowed to retreat, look ahead, this world is mine, what I give you is yours, and others can't give you what you want." Zhu Houzhao reminded him in a deep voice.

Yan Song carefully touched the ground with his head, and he didn't even dare to say it.

In his heart, he thought that the emperor was not simple, the rumors from the outside world were not credible, whoever believed it was a fool, if he was a monarch who only knew how to give grace to the world, how could he get rid of King Ning and his party before he ascended the throne.

Hurriedly flipped through the secret music of Jinyiwei, and suddenly, there were already monstrous waves in my heart, Guozijian, Hanlin Academy, Inspectorate Imperial History, Thirteen Dao Supervision Imperial History, this fuck, damn, it's all clear stream, what are they going to do?

When he looked down, the joint performance impeached the Son of Heaven, Yushitai Wang Qiong, Hanlin Li Jingyang, Guozi Supervisor Zhang Bin, Liu Tao, Yang Ning, ·····, one by one names appeared on the secret music, Yan Song's face was in a cold sweat, he finally understood what the emperor meant, and also understood what he needed to do, smart people are good brains, but unfortunately, since he participated, now that he has watched the secret music again, it is even more impossible to quit.

Yan Song can even imagine what he will face in the future, and regret it? Maybe, there is no turning back when he opens the bow, and now there is only a dead end to regret it, and this palace test will become a nightmare that will linger in his heart for the rest of his life.

"Go down, after you leave the palace, go and figure out a way, your time is running out." Zhu Houzhao asked him to step down.

"The student will live up to the emperor's high expectations, and the student will retire." Yan Song broke out in a cold sweat, and a wave of coldness hit, and his back was wet.

The palace exam is basically over, and most of the students who answered the questions in front of the Taihe Hall put down their pens, fortunately today is a good autumn weather, otherwise they would have to be scorched by the sun.

"Rewinding."

After going through the form, reading the papers, six departments and nine qing, three elders, and a part of the answer sheets, Zhu Houzhao only needs to read the best copies.

After a while, Xie Qian selected an answer sheet in his hand, stroked his long beard, and nodded in admiration; "Good articles, problem solving, problem solving, is the highlight of this volume, Li Gong, Liu Gong, you also come to comment."

"Wonderful, this son is very talented, I see, it's not worse than Yan Song on the first list, it's promising." Liu Jian shook his head and commented.

After Li Dongyang saw it, he exclaimed; "Gong Xie, this son has your demeanor."

Gao Shijie, one step away from the top three, the first place in the second list, this is very powerful.

Which Yang Shen's friend, isn't it called Shijie, Gao Shijie, Luzhou talent, Yang Tinghe has praised this son several times.

"Gao Shijie, this son is not bad, and Yan Song's literary style is more subtle, this time Enke really makes me and others pleasing to the eye, if there is no Zhu Shou's son, this son must be among the top three." Li Dongyang sighed.

Speaking of the one named Zhu Shou, they really want to see it, the article is not only done well, but also aimed at the current affairs of the southwest, pointing to the key point, which makes people applaud, even the three pavilion elders after reading the test papers, they are also amazed, it can be seen how great it is.

But in any case, the champion was absent from the palace examination, and after seven days, if he did not report to the Ministry of Rites, he would cancel the top spot and become the funniest oolong topic since the opening of the Ming Dynasty.

If the three pavilion elders knew that the initiator of this oolong was His Majesty, I don't know if he would sigh like this, or Xie Qian broke out on the spot and angrily criticized the dragon scales, it is estimated that the latter is the majority.

Xu Qiong couldn't help but think of Wang Qiong's words, Zhu Shou's son was arrogant and rude, arrogant in words and deeds, and dissolute, which was really insulting and a shame for scholars.

Thinking of the day before yesterday, because of him, the colleagues who almost made a mistake, there was a wave of anger in their hearts, fortunately, His Majesty was kind and didn't care, and when Zhu Shou came to the Ministry of Rites to report, he would definitely be harsh and cure this problem, but I don't know if he Xu Shangshu will have this opportunity.

Zhu Hou glanced at the answer sheet handed over by the three bosses, and couldn't help but praise a few words from the bottom of his heart, this vigorous and powerful font, gorgeous article, undertaking the topic, solving the problem, solving the problem, it is incomparably unique, with his vision, he naturally sees different things.

Xindao, this time Enke opened well, I didn't expect to find so many talented readers, Liu Zizhang, Gao Shijie, plus Yan Song, who is not a good person, interesting, interesting, just wronged you, who told me to participate in the imperial examination, okay, compensate you a little, this time I will give you a good background.

"I see, this person can be the first in this palace test, ranked among the top three, and make up in turn, as for that Zhu Shou, if he is overdue, he will be regarded as giving up the imperial examination, and it would be good if I didn't pursue him for being disrespectful, so be it, Liu Zizhang entered the first place on the list, Yan Song entered Liu Zizhang's second place, Gao Shijie advanced to the top three Tanhua, the three of them were given to ride a royal horse to parade the street, and they were given a hundred taels of gold, and the money was consistent, the champion and the first, the example and the first, the Tanhua and the first each, entered the Hanlin Academy, led the compilation of a position, and the rest of the people gave Jinshi, Liu Jin, draft the purpose."

"The slave obeys." Liu Jin bowed down to receive the order.

"Your Majesty, the emperor's grace is vast, the ministers thank your majesty for your grace for the students, long live my emperor." The six lords and the three pavilion elders bowed down to thank him.

The edict was soon promulgated, issued by the cabinet secretary, Gao Shijie did not expect that he would enter the top three, excited tears, bow down thanks, the rankings of others in turn, each happy, and even a loser, also entered the list, was chased back to receive the decree, fainted happily, happiness came too suddenly, great sorrow to great joy, can not bear it for a while.

Funing Restaurant.

The sound of crackling firecrackers kept coming from the street, as if it couldn't be played.

After it is released here, where it sounded again, the sound of suona, the noise of gongs and drums, the sound of congratulations is endless, good news, congratulations, money, everywhere.

There are big businessmen who carry gifts to the residence of the Shizi on the list to woo Daoxi.

Among them, the most willing to spend money, the biggest pomp is the Funing Restaurant, the richest man in Tongzhou, Tan Lao, heard that his son spoke directly in high school, feasted in the township, opened hundreds of tables, three days, and ordered someone to bring news to his son Tan Zongzheng, telling him that he should go home as soon as possible to worship his ancestors, and his ancestors will be glorious, and their Tan family has finally come out of the Jinshi master.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come inside, today our young owner has spoken, Funing Restaurant, you can eat and drink today and tomorrow, my young owner is from Jinke High School, everyone is here, everyone is coming."

Tan Zongzheng raised his eyebrows in front of his father for the first time, and said arrogantly, he wanted to entertain friends in the capital, and Funing Restaurant also had a big banquet for guests.

is worthy of being the richest man in Tongzhou, really atmospheric, all-you-can-eat wine and food, and he is not afraid of losing you, of course, others only dare to slander, but they dare not say it, and happily go in to grab a seat.

In addition to the private room upstairs, the lobby downstairs can eat for free.

Yan Song wore a brand-new Confucian robe and scarf given by the imperial court, and walked in with a folding fan in his hand, and the little servant hurriedly greeted him.

"This guest officer, today's Funing Restaurant eats for free, my young owner is a high school scholar, I don't know if the guest officer is a distinguished guest upstairs, or passing by to eat." The little servant asked cautiously, the young master has explained, a friend will come today, and he should be careful and not lazy.

Yan Song was very polite, not arrogant at all, and introduced himself with a smile; "Under the surname Yan, a single name is a Song, and you have an appointment with your young owner, I came to the appointment today, please lead the way."

When the little guy heard that he was a guest of his own young owner, it was said that he was still the old man of Bangyan, so he hurriedly apologized; "It's a small one who doesn't know Mount Tai, the son forgives the sin, the young owner has been waiting in the private room for a long time, Yan Gongzi please."

"Thank you." Yan Song thanked him again and followed the little guy upstairs.

Who would have thought that such a polite and modest person would be a traitor in the original history, but now he has no chance to harm people, because his master is Zhu Houzhao, for Zhu Houzhao, who wants to become the Emperor of Shengming, the dog leg next to him can naturally only be a capable minister, not a traitor.

Yan Song's every move after leaving the palace was under the knowledge of Jinyiwei, Zhu Houzhao's trust was naturally Jinyiwei and the people of Dongchang, Yan Song? Of course, we have to investigate, this time is a test, if Yan Song can't pass the test, Jin Yiwei is the knife to deal with him, if he passes, then Jin Yiwei will only be responsible for delivering the news, and there will be no other actions.

Everything, it depends on whether he can withstand the temptation, after all, the big man in Qufu also has a lot of temptation for Yan Song, one step to heaven and one step to hell.
