The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 585 Father and Son
It was strangely quiet in the cabinet hall at the moment.

Shoufu Yanyuan lowered his eyes and tasted the tea without saying a word, as if the curled tea leaves in the teacup were particularly fascinating.

Cifu Gu Yuncheng held a mansion newspaper and looked at it very slowly. It seemed that every word in it contained infinite information.

The six ministers wished they could put their heads on the scrolls.

The rest of the great scholars, counting one by one, seemed to be intoxicated by their own pen skills, and they understood each other so well that they seemed to stay out of the matter.

It wasn't until Sanfu Cen Minzhou came in from outside with a complex expression that he broke this inexplicable tranquility.

Cen Minzhou was suddenly scanned by dozens of lines of sight, even though he had been an official for most of his life, he couldn't help being taken aback.

Of course, the psychological quality to be able to enter the cabinet must be excellent. Although Cen Minzhou was a little dazed, he didn't bring it out, and greeted everyone with a normal face.

"Master He." Cen Minzhou calmed down after sitting down, and then greeted He Ben, Minister of Rites.

"Master Cen." He Benchu ​​hurriedly stood up.

Different from other members of the cabinet, the six ministers will only return to their official offices in the afternoon. In the morning, as long as there is no court meeting, they will work in the cabinet hall.

When it comes to office work, most of the time they are waiting for work guidance from the top three cabinet members.

At this moment when Cen Minzhou called him, the words "Cen Youniang No. 3" appeared immediately after He Benchu.

It is conceivable that the results of this child's birth test not only shocked his favorite student Shuntianfu Yin Chen Wen, but even he, a teacher, also left some sequelae.

Now it's time to prepare for the township examination again, without Cen Minzhou talking, He Benchu ​​can think of what he wants to tell.

Hard to do!
He Benchu ​​was in some trouble.

As a minister of the Ministry of Rites who still has a little expectation for his career advancement, he wants to be comprehensive and balanced when facing even a good-natured boss.

Even if you don't want to be his right-hand man, you can't offend him.

Especially after the first and second assistants kept silent about this imperial examination.

"You order." The moment He Benchu ​​stood up to answer, he was full of thoughts and quickly added this sentence.

The hands in Cen Minzhou's sleeves were about to clenched into fists, but his face was gentle and friendly: "Sit down, sit down and talk. It's not even an order, just a word of advice. Although it is far away from Qiu Wei at this time, it should be prepared in advance. .Different from the Tongsheng Examination, the Township Examination is a real talent-giving ceremony, and it cannot be overstated.

Of course, I know Mr. He that you have conducted several general examinations, which is the most appropriate, but it is the first time for girls to participate in the rural examination, so it should be taken seriously, so don't take it lightly. "

When He Ben didn't hear him say that, a bunch of "sure enough" popped up in his heart.

"Remember, sir."

Although he found it tricky, He Benchu ​​didn't have any objections. He put on a teachable appearance and looked very respectful.

Cen Minzhou thought of the prospect and the emperor's order not long ago, and said with a smile: "The majesty ordered me to write a question before, but the little girl was ignorant and had nothing to do, so she signed up rashly... To avoid suspicion, I recommend you as the questioner. , the Holy Majesty has already agreed, and I hope that Master He will not disappoint the Holy Majesty's love."

He Ben didn't hear about it, and was suddenly shocked.

He cupped his hands in the direction of the Lanzheng Hall, first thanking Shengen, and then expressing his gratitude to Cen Minzhou in both words and expressions, looking very excited.

Of course, in fact, he was really excited, but not because he became the examiner, but because he heard the implication of Cen Minzhou's words!
He didn't even object to his little daughter's scientific examination? !
Faced with this hint, He Benchu ​​was so excited that he almost burst into tears.

Even if he spent half his life with the eunuchs and made himself look smooth and shiny, he really couldn't bear Cen Minzhou's previous encouragement.

On the one hand, there is the eyeing emperor, on the other hand, the Shangguan who can't wait to drag his daughter out of the examination room immediately, and the battlefield is also chosen in the extremely quiet imperial examination room, which makes He Ben want to give up his ambition of rising. , I wish I could resign immediately and return to my hometown to enjoy the happiness.

A Cen Minzhou may not be so scary, but the first assistant and the second assistant on top of Cen Minzhou, and those great Confucian scholars standing behind Cen Minzhou, are a force capable of wrestling with the emperor.

But He Benchu, who was standing in the middle of the vortex, only felt the wind was high and the waves were rushing, and there was always a kind of panic and panic as the waves hit him.

And now, he can breathe.

As long as he is given multiple-choice questions without knowing it, he can confidently say that he can fully grasp this kind of game that exists all the time.

He Ben came out to express his gratitude to Cen Minzhou, but he was full of gratitude to Jing Hedi in his heart.

He knew very well that the only thing that could make this Sansuke think about it instantly was the emperor who had just called him away.

……

"Neither the Yan family nor the He family has a girl to take the exam, but Cen Minzhou's first daughter is an excellent example." Emperor Jing He smiled at the second son who came out of the screen after Cen Minzhou left, and taught him leisurely.

The second prince, Jiang Yucong, listened very seriously.

Since the general election, his father often called him to the Lanzheng Hall alone, either letting him listen to politics behind a screen, or calling him aside to teach him carefully.

He still remembered that a few days ago, his father personally dictated the admonition that his grandfather had given about the significance of the women's imperial examination.

Listening to the well-intentioned words repeated by his father, Jiang Yucong gradually understood the significance of this unprecedented pioneering move to the royal family and to their Jiang family.He also understands the necessity of his father insisting on such decrees.

"Father, you said earlier that Cen Sanfu's father and daughter are in the same dynasty. I am afraid that Cen Sanfu may not think so." Jiang Yucong felt that even if he is a monarch and minister, he should be convinced by his subordinates. Great righteousness, fame and fortune can be moved, but great righteousness cannot be moved."

Emperor Jing He was not surprised when he heard this. His son was too gentleman.

"Son, do you know how a gentleman can deceive you?" Jing Hedi was already ready to teach slowly, after all he had plenty of time.

After Emperor Jinghe's question, without waiting for his second son to answer, he said to himself: "There is a way, the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world's hustle and bustle is for profit. You must know that fame and fortune can be driven away, and those who stick to righteousness few.

Although it is said that the whole world is the land of the king, and the land of the land is the king's ministers, but the emperor, the lord of the world, cannot make full use of righteousness; therefore, the way to use talents and ministers has become a great question. "

"The game between the monarch and his ministers is just between advancing and retreating; the emperor is one side, and the ministers can be several groups. It is hateful to form a party for personal gain, but it is not terrible. What is terrible is the joint efforts of the ministers. At that time, even if the emperor has good governance, he will have to retreat."

Speaking of this, Emperor Jinghe didn't continue to teach, but instead came back to talk about Cen Minzhou.

"Cen Minzhou is not incompetent. He is too self-protected for a long time. Even if this person knows the righteousness and understands the righteousness, he will pretend to be deaf and dumb in order to protect himself, and turn a blind eye to the righteousness."
