Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 249 Then Be A Third Flower
"The culprit is here." He Kangsheng, who had been named, responded, his heart trembling for no reason.

Although Emperor Yun Jing had arranged everything in the palace today a few days in advance, he was just a "chess piece" to expose Chao Ling, and there should be no serious problems, but he still couldn't control his heart.

After all, it is an ironclad fact that he did something wrong before, even if the emperor really wanted to use this to dispose of him today, he would have no regrets.

He Kangsheng kowtowed deeply, his forehead hit the ground, and he felt a little pain from the pain. He had been kneeling here for an unknown amount of time, and his knees were already sore and numb. In addition to the tense expression, his legs couldn't help but become more sore. stand up.

"You have not reported the knowledge for many years, this trip is like covering up, and you should be severely punished," Emperor Yunjing paused, "I think you have held power for Chao Ling for a long time, and you have deep feelings, but now you are willing to repent and expose his evil deeds , presenting physical evidence, its merit outweighs its faults.”

"And the Ministry of Rites can't be without a leader for a day, just to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. You will be promoted as the second-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites today, and lead the Ministry of Rites. I hope you can fulfill your duties in the future, command all the divisions, and return the integrity of the Ministry of Rites."

"However, since ancient times, merit must be rewarded, and mistakes must be punished."

"I will fine you with half a year's monthly salary. Within half a year, except for the New Year's reward, the monthly salary should be confiscated to the national treasury." Mo Jingyao stroked the faucet under his hand, with gentle eyes, "He Kangsheng, do you have any objections?"

"I have no objection." He Kangsheng's eye sockets turned red uncontrollably, and the mist gradually blurred his eyes.

He raised his head, stared blankly at Emperor Yun Jing for a while through the layer of water mist, and solemnly bowed to him, his nervousness disappeared instantly: "My humble minister He Kangsheng, thank you for your majesty's grace!"

"He Aiqing, just stay flat." Emperor Yun Jing nodded slightly, and winked at the little eunuch beside him, "Master He has been kneeling on the ground for so long, his legs and feet are probably numb, you go up and help him. "

"Here." The little eunuch bowed his hands respectfully, but He Kangsheng's eyes became hotter and hotter. Emperor Yunjing saw that he looked like he was about to cry, and couldn't help his scalp numb slightly, hurriedly gave a fake cough, and turned his gaze away.

"Jie Si Nian." Mo Jingyao turned his eyes to look at the double-faced master, with a slight expression of admiration in his eyes - like him, there are not many secret masters who can fool the two parties without leaking water, and they are talented. talent.

"As a counselor, you can't fulfill your duty of admonishment. As a warlock, you allow your master to indulge in profound arts without guidance. This is really a dereliction of duty."

"However, I think you are loyal to protect the lord, and there is no other fault in this case, so I will not investigate your merits and demerits carefully, and will not reward or punish you. After today's business, you can leave the palace immediately, and you can no longer be the prince's adviser in this life."

You can't be the prince, but you can still be the prime minister's mansion now, and naturally you can be the prince's mansion in the future.

Hey, the plan works.

Mo Jingyao applauded his wise and powerful decision in his heart, pretending to be very solemn on his face as usual, Xie Sinian heard the meaning of his words, and immediately kowtowed to thank: "Caomin respectfully obey the holy order."

That's right, the young man's brain is also turning quickly, so let's follow A Yan's tricks in the future.

Emperor Yunjing closed his jaw in satisfaction, and continued to arrange the next person: "Lu Zixiu."

The scholar's heart shuddered, and he quickly straightened up on his knees: "Caomin is here."

"En." Emperor Yunjing nodded, raised his eyebrows, skipped him and glanced at the old matriarch, "Teacher, what do you think of this young man's aptitude?"

"He is very talented and has a righteous mind. Although he acts a little recklessly, it is still a rare material." Old Madam Xiao Fu Hanxiao stroked the silver beard under her chin, "Train|teach properly, maybe it can be a pillar of the country."

"So, how about choosing him as the number one scholar in the spring examination this year?" Emperor Yunjing's lips curved slightly.

He also felt that the kid acted a little recklessly, but he did not hide his flaws. Let him train in Beijing for a few years, calm and calm, maybe he is a pillar of talent.

In addition, his life was saved by A Yan, so he must be very grateful to him in his heart, if he is asked to assist A Yan in the future, he will not have any second thoughts, isn't this a ready-made team!

Mo Jingyao was overjoyed, wishing he could designate Lu Zixiu as this year's champion on the spot.

Unexpectedly, before the old matriarch could answer, the young scholar at the other end couldn't kneel down and kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty, you absolutely must not. Although Caomin passed the general examination, he has not formally participated in the palace examination."

"If you make Caomin the number one scholar, it may be unfair to all the students in the world."

"And the grassroots don't want to bear this eternal infamy... Please think carefully, Your Majesty!"

"It doesn't matter, your "On Wars" has already won the scores of others, and it is nothing to miss the palace test." Emperor Yun Jing waved his hand, "I said you can do it, so you can do it."

"Think twice, Your Majesty, this action is not in accordance with the etiquette, and the grassroots are terrified!" Lu Zixiu shook his head, he was lucky to be able to save his life this time, how dare he covet some champion?
Besides, he did not participate in the palace examination, and he missed a process with others. Even if he became the number one scholar, his reputation would not be justified, and it would not be fair enough for others.

And what is being dealt with today is fraud, in order to bring justice to the scholars in the world, how dare he make this special case?

Can't do it, can't do it, this champion, he absolutely can't do it.

"Your Majesty, what Mr. Lu said is also reasonable." The old lady Fu who was robbed by Lu Zixiu frowned slightly, "This move is indeed inconsistent with etiquette, but Lu Zixiu's talent is indeed outstanding."

"It would be unfair to him if he was forced to delay for three years because of the traitor changing the answer sheet."

"It's not like this, Your Majesty, you can designate him as Tanhua," the old matriarch pondered for a moment, then thought of a compromise, "As usual, the number one scholar is selected from the scholars who have passed the palace examination."

"Tanhua?" Emperor Yunjing rolled his eyes, looked at Lu Zixiu's delicate and clean appearance, and then looked back at the Gongsheng who had been in front of the palace before, and suddenly felt that the old lady Fu's proposal was very good.

Thinking about it carefully, among this class of scholars, Lu Zixiu is quite good-looking.

So he resolutely made a final decision: "That's right, let's talk about flowers, Lu Zixiu, you can't shirk this time."

"This..." Lu Zixiu felt helpless, but he knew that there would be no good fruit to eat if he continued to fight with the emperor like this, so he reluctantly thanked him: "Grassman, kneel down and thank the emperor for his grace."

"Well, let's get back together." Emperor Yunjing said casually, then glanced at Chen Feizhang, then at Chao Ling, "Gongsheng Chen Feizhang, blinded by profit, pretended to be someone else to answer the papers, and did not speak up when he knew it. He will be expelled from the capital from now on, and he will never live forever." Become an official."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The grassroots know their mistakes, please forgive the grassroots, Your Majesty!" Chen Feizhang couldn't help but tremble when he heard the sentence "not to be an official", and then desperately begged for mercy.

Mo Jingyao was so quarreled that he really had a headache, so he simply waved and ordered someone to throw him out of the imperial city, and let Xie Sinian go by the way.

Before being dragged out, he was still struggling to break free from the restraints of the guards, but he was just a frail scholar, how could he be an opponent of the palace guards?
After three or two strokes, they were tied up with hemp rope, and thrown out of the palace wall like rice dumplings.

As soon as Chen Feizhang left, there were only half of the people in the hall waiting for his release.

Needless to say, Zhu Feng and the others must have died, so the eyes of all the officials involuntarily fell on Chao Ling, and the hall was completely silent except for the voice of the emperor Yu.

"As for Chao Ling—"

　There was an unwritten rule in ancient imperial examinations——

　　Tanhua is not necessarily the most talented, but he must be the best looking
　　Only handsome people are worthy of being a flower buddy
　　And because he is handsome, he is often called by the emperor as his son-in-law or something
　　So the ancient literati, aha, it is good to be a flower and a champion
　　No. [-] is unlucky hahahaha

　　You see, it is said that the number one scholar, Tan Hualang, but rarely the number two man

　　In the past, "Lang" sometimes used to be a bit of a compliment for being handsome.

　　Mr. Xiaolang~
