Chapter 110 What a pity for him ([-] more)

Mo Jingyao bent his eyes, watched with great interest the small expressions on the faces of his three sons changing like a storm, while quietly making an evaluation in his heart.

The fourth child is stupid at first glance, and his brain is not enough; the fifth child is a scheming child and is not upright, so he must not leave it to A Yan;

Emperor Yun Jing randomly stamped the three of them, after careful observation, he found that none of the three were really worth much use, so he couldn't help slightly supporting his forehead.

He originally thought that among the three adult princes who were somewhat ambitious, they would be able to screen out one who could barely see it and leave it for Mo Junli to use as a whetstone.

This made him deeply suspicious of the teaching methods of the Confucian scholars in the court, and at the same time, he disliked the education of the princes and princesses by the concubines in the harem——

He always thought that talent was second, and that the most important thing was always character.

As the princes of the Tian family, they may not be astute, mediocre in learning, or even ruthless in their methods, but they must not be opportunistic or behave improperly.

If the body is not upright, how can the court be upright; if the court is not upright, how can the world be upright.

If the world is not right, there will be unrighteous chaos, which will lead to the misery of the people and the people's livelihood.

And these three in front of me.

A gleam of disappointment flashed across Mo Jingyao's bloodshot and tired eyes. The three people in front of him were obviously not upright people no matter what.

It was a pity for him.

Emperor Yunjing sighed silently, he never considered himself to be that kind of ruthless emperor, but facing such an ambitious and misbehaving son, if he really took action, he would never show mercy.

In the final analysis, Jiangshan Sheji is not a child's play. If he wants to keep the current peaceful and prosperous world, he must not leave such a prince.

Take it as cleaning up the family, at most, when he meets his ancestors in a hundred years, he will kowtow to the old people a few more times.

Mo Jingyao nodded his fingertips, and the three people sitting beside him gradually came to their senses.

Mo Shuyuan stood up cautiously and saluted, his eyes flickered, and his brows had a tentative look: "Father, I don't know if this time... I will take the place of the examiner or the assistant; The chief examiner and all the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy?"

"The main examiner of the palace examination, and the auxiliary examination of the general examination." Emperor Yun Jing said without hesitation, "The chief examiner of the general examination is Chao Ling, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the left and right servants are the same as you."

"As for the questions, the questions for this exam will be discussed and selected by Mrs. Xiao and the academicians of the Hanlin Academy. You only need to choose the most suitable questions." Mo Jingyao said, these words made the three of them look even more pale Embarrassed.

Old Mrs. Xiao Fu is recognized as a great Confucianist in the contemporary era, and has countless disciples. Among the civil officials in the current dynasty, nearly half of them come from his sect. It is not an exaggeration to say that peaches and plums are everywhere.

If he came up with the question...

Mo Shuyun frowned subconsciously. If Old Madam Xiao came up with the question himself, would they still be able to successfully complete the trick they wanted to play?

After all, his old man's questions are usually profound, and he also prefers to improvise theories, so as to examine the real talents and learning of the candidates.

In this way, even if they can cover up the sky and change the answer sheets of the candidates, I am afraid that when it comes to the palace examination, what should be revealed will still have to be revealed.

They originally made two preparations. One was to use the opportunity of Mo Shucheng to take over the spring test to send the previously searched disciples into the court; the other was to take this opportunity to make a big case and let Mo Shucheng directly Losing the trust of Emperor Yunjing, he completely missed the throne.

It is easy to do it first hand, as long as they can bribe the chief examiner, change the answer sheet of the general examination, and then formulate the examination questions before the palace examination, so that the tributes who participate in the palace examination can prepare the answers in advance.

The second hand is a lot of trouble. Not only do they have to bribe the officials, but they also have to find someone to "buy" Mo Shucheng. Drag them into the water, and pick off their people.

In case the picking is not clean, two chess pieces that have been buried in the Ministry of Rites for a long time will even be sacrificed——

But now it seems that their first-hand preparations are completely useless, and they can only go directly to the second-hand.

Fortunately, the problem is not too big, no matter which move is taken, they are the ones who will benefit in the end.

It's just that I feel sorry for those two who have wasted a lot of effort to put the nails in the Ministry of Rites just now. The temper of these stinky scholars is as stubborn as donkeys!
There was a little heartache in Mo Shuyun's eyes, he bit his lower lip slightly, and glanced past Mo Shucheng to Mo Shuyuan who was standing there, and the latter's complexion was also not good.

He counted and counted... Unexpectedly, Emperor Yun Jing would ask Mrs. Xiao to come up with a question.

The old matriarch had withdrawn from the court for a long time, so long that he almost forgot that there was such a number one person in Qianping, but now that Emperor Yun Jing suddenly brought it up, he was really caught off guard.

"Father, my son is still young," Mo Shuyuan took a deep breath, and raised his hand higher and higher, "The prestige and experience are not as good as those of the two elder brothers, so I dare not fight for this golden opportunity, nor can I take on this important task." , I also hope that the emperor will forgive me."

"Father, my son knows that his temper is short-tempered, and he knows little about scientific research. He is afraid that he will intervene rashly, cause disasters, and miss the country's important affairs." He said a word to Mo Shucheng.

"You might as well entrust this matter to the fourth younger brother. The fourth younger brother is usually more stable than my son, and loves to read books. He will be able to successfully complete the task of the emperor—"

"What's the meaning of the third brother?" Mo Shucheng, who was named, jumped up immediately, and immediately stood up and bowed, "Father, my son and minister are far inferior to the two brothers, how can I be worthy of such a great responsibility? Please, father Mingjian!"

"Oh? They all feel that they are not competent." Emperor Yunjing raised his eyebrows, and the smile in the depths of his pupils became more and more playful. His gaze slowly slid across the faces of the three of them, and he suddenly lowered his head and smiled.

"Yun'er recommended Cheng'er to me, but Cheng'er shied away and said that the other two are more suitable... so far away, what do you think?" Mo Jingyao raised his eyes, and his eyes suddenly caught Mo Shuyuan's, and then The reader suddenly felt his heart tremble.

"Yuan'er, who do you think is more suitable for me to send to be the main examiner of the palace examination and the auxiliary examination of the general examination?"

"I want to report to my father, I think the third brother is right." Mo Shuyuan swayed slightly, and Emperor Yun Jing's eyes were full of smiles, but he felt great pressure for no reason, "Fourth brother is more serious." It is suitable to be the chief examiner of the palace examination."

Mo Jingyao curled his lips upon hearing this: "Oh? Why."

"Fourth brother is calmer than me, and he is also a book lover, so he must cherish talents more, so..." Mo Shuyuan made up nonsense, his hands tucked into his sleeves couldn't help trembling slightly, "So..."

"Okay." Emperor Yun Jing interrupted him by raising his hand, "Since that's the case, Cheng'er, this task is entrusted to you."

"I will draw up an order later, and then the letter and other necessary artifacts will be sent to your house together."

"But! Father——" Mo Shucheng frowned, subconsciously wanting to argue, when Emperor Yunjing saw this, his eyes sharpened sharply: "Why, Chenger, you still want to resist the order and fail to obey it!"

"This, Father, I dare not." Mo Shucheng pursed his lips, let out a long sigh, and kowtowed, "My lord, thank you Lord Long for your kindness—"
