The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 490
He looked up at the sky, only to feel his eyes a little sour.He is clearly the son of the eldest son, but his father has not established a prince for a long time, and he still has such a preference for the elder brother.If he wasn't simple and honest, those people thought that his father didn't like him and didn't want to deal with him for the time being, they might have been chewed to pieces and swallowed by those people long ago.

The second prince regained his simple and honest face, and walked towards the carriage outside.This is the homework he must do every day, and he has practiced it to perfection.

The emperor waited for the princes to leave before looking at the memorial in Li's hand, but he didn't read a single word.The boss has always been smart, and he has to end the disaster he caused himself.

Then he thought of his second child again, and couldn't help but sighed.

"De'an! Go and bring Gu Chengyu's examination papers over the years for my review." The emperor thought of Gu Chengyu recommended by the second prince, and had another idea in his mind. Could it be that Gu Chengyu stood in line before entering the court?
However, no matter what relationship he has with the second child, if he has the ability to be used by the court, he will not have any prejudice.After all, it is very possible for him to become a pure minister if he is reused. Who is the real pure minister in the court?
"Yes!" Although De'an was illiterate, an official sent Gu Chengyu's examination paper before, and the emperor casually put it away, but he memorized it.

"Your Majesty, look, but this pile?" De'an walked over holding a few sealed examination papers.

The emperor nodded, "Yes! Your memory is quite good."

The emperor's casual boast made De'an's heart skip a beat.

"How can a slave have a better memory than the emperor? If you hadn't mentioned it, how could a slave remember?"

As the emperor's close servant, De'an has served the emperor for decades. De'an was there when the emperor was still the prince of the East Palace. How could he not understand the emperor?The emperor has always refused to accept the old, thinking that as long as he practiced the elixir of immortality and took the elixir, he would be able to keep this great country.

Although De'an thought this was ridiculous, it was rare for the emperor to take it, and usually the medicine man would take it, and the Taoist priest would observe the effect of the medicine.

The emperor responded casually, and De'an quickly brought back his fluttering thoughts.Is a poor memory an old age?Of course he dare not admit that he has a good memory!

Companion to the king is like a tiger, and De'an serves the emperor tremblingly every day.

Xiao Quanzi who was outside the door couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the chief executive, who was usually majestic in front of them, had to nod and bow in front of the emperor, for fear of offending the emperor.

The emperor threw the memorial back into the pile, simply out of sight and out of mind.

Seeing that the emperor wanted to read the examination paper, De'an hurried forward to help unpack it.

When the emperor saw the words on the examination paper, he couldn't help admiring, "The words are not bad, but they are still a little immature."

The one in his hand is Gu Chengyu's examination paper for the county examination, and the emperor is not very interested in the examination paper for the county examination.After reading it roughly, he unpacked the other examination papers, and finally the emperor put Gu Chengyu's theory and scripture questions aside.

He felt that the examinee's theory and scriptures were particularly outstanding.As for the poems, those cannot shake the foundation of the country, they are just icing on the cake!Even Gu Chengyu's poetic talent was amazing to him.

Gu Chengyu's handwriting is undoubtedly improving. After seeing the next test, the handwriting is already very strong.The emperor watched and nodded as a compliment.

De'an looked at the emperor's expression, was he satisfied with Gu Chengyu's test paper?It seems that this person named Gu Chengyu, he also has to pay attention, maybe he is another rising star.

Just when the emperor saw the last exam paper, Xiao Quanzi winked at De'an again.

Seeing Xiao Quanzi winking at De'an, the emperor put down the test paper, "But what's the matter?"

Xiao Quanzi paused, "I would like to report to the emperor, Mr. Tong, a student of the Imperial Academy, is asking to see you."

"Let him come in!" The emperor thought for a while, and he knew that the ranking of the examination had come. Yesterday in the court, the ministers said that many candidates were found to have bad morals in the Dali Temple. official.

The emperor also knew the tricks in it, as long as it wasn't too much, he would turn a blind eye and close his eyes.If there are only a few people, it is still within the range he can bear.

So, he casually appointed Tong Zhouyi, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, to handle the matter. Anyway, he was originally one of the officials who reviewed the papers.

Tong Zhouyi waited anxiously outside the imperial study room, but in fact this job was a hard job.The rest of the Hanlin Academy gloated in front of him. The ranking of the test has changed. If the emperor is furious, he will be the first to bear the anger.

What's more, even No.1 was changed this time. It would be fine if the emperor had no objection, but if he had any objection, then he couldn't bear to walk around. When he arrived outside the imperial study, his mind suddenly cleared up.Xia Qing's original promise must be taken by fate!

It wasn't until De'an asked him to go in that he came back to his senses.

"My minister Tong Zhouyi respectfully invites the emperor Shengan."

"Tong Aiqing doesn't need to be too polite. Has the ranking of this test been drawn up?" The emperor felt a little strange when he saw Tong Zhouyi's expression was different.

"Back to the emperor, it's already been drawn up!" Tong Zhouyi handed the list to De'an who came over, his hands trembling a little.

He took a deep breath, Xia Qing was right, he was indeed timid.But such a cowardly person as he did such a daring thing.

The emperor opened the roster, and found that the person at the top had changed, and replaced it with the person who was originally at the second place, named Min Feng.

He looked up at Tong Zhouyi with a livid face. This group of people really calculated blatantly, and they were able to change No.1.

"I remember that No. 1 seems to be called Gu Chengyu, why did it become this Min Feng?" The emperor questioned Tong Zhouyi suppressing the anger in his heart.

Come, of course Tong Zhouyi knew that the emperor would ask, and the speeches were all prepared before.

"Your Majesty! The Gu Chengyu you are talking about is not good enough!"

"Oh? Is there a lack of virtue? I remember that he and Jiang Mingyuan, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, carried out the experimental field back then. It improved people's livelihood. How could there be a lack of virtue?"

When Tong Zhouyi heard the emperor's words, his heart skipped a beat.It seems that the emperor has a deep impression on Gu Chengyu and attaches great importance to it, otherwise he would not have such an attitude.

There was a trace of sweat on his forehead, "Your Majesty! He went to the brothel last night. He heard that he competed with those merchants for a girl, and finally redeemed the girl. It's really insulting."

The emperor frowned when he heard the words, "You mean he went to a brothel and redeemed that prostitute?"

Dayan Dynasty had very strict management on officials visiting brothels, and would never allow it.It's just that Gu Chengyu is not an official yet, and it's normal to talk about young men and women, it's just that it's not pleasant to say it.

Besides, don't many of the sons of ministers go to brothels?The emperor thinks that the officials below are just making a fuss, don't think that if he doesn't leave the palace gate, he won't know what's going on outside, aren't those people eyeing the No.1 seat?
