Kowloon wins

Chapter 635 A Sudden Oral Instruction

The procedure of the Spring Girl Competition has always been the same. Once the gold list is released, it will be the most glorious moment of the Three Tripod Armors - wearing red and parading through the streets. It has already passed, but for the newly recruited Scholars, the main event has just begun. There is nothing else. The selection of officials by the Ministry of Officials is the biggest obstacle that determines the fate of the new Scholars. If the luck is not good, you will get a hard job , then don't talk about great prospects, I'm afraid it will be difficult for even one official to survive. Because of this, at this critical point, the new scholars will not say anything about humility, and those who have connections have already left I went to check it out, and as for those who have no connections, they are busy visiting teachers and looking for docks, which has disturbed the smoky atmosphere in the official circles of the capital.

A slap is definitely not going to slap. The new recruits are of course busy making their way, and the various forces are actually taking advantage of this opportunity to accept them. Of course, not everyone is qualified to accept them. Yes, there are actually only a few of the first-class ones, the third master, the fourth master, and the eighth master are considered first-class. In terms of status, Hong Qing, the king of Renjun, can obviously be tied for the top. As for the second-class ones, it is For the rest of you elder brothers, it will be the turn of those dignitaries such as university scholars, but the qualifications belong to the qualifications, but not all the wealthy families are keen on this. In fact, the fourth master and Hong Qing in the first-class status are both Never do this kind of thing, but the third master and the eighth master are very enthusiastic about it. Every time, they always take the opportunity to recruit a lot of people, thinking that they will add some fresh blood to their forces. This is due to the unspoken rules of the officialdom , although it is ugly, it is an indispensable thing for the faction to grow.

The fourth master didn't accept him because he wanted to play the role of a lone minister, so he had to be very lofty. As for Hong Qing, he didn't have this need, nothing else, if he really counted the strength of the old fifteen brothers Come to think of it, the hidden strength he currently possesses is actually no worse than that of the third master. If he wants to go to Guangshou's sect, he will not only suffer from holy taboos, but even the third master will not be able to sit still. Such a stupid thing Of course, Hongqing would not do it, but anyone who asked to come to the door would answer the ticket mercilessly. As time passed, no one would dare to harass Hongqing's door anymore, and they could be happy to have a leisurely time.

Hong Qing didn't take advantage of the big competition to accept the appointment, but it didn't mean that he didn't pay much attention to the selection of officials, nothing else, this time not only Xiao Xuanwu, the future brother-in-law, was going to participate in the selection of officials, but also the three newly recruited followers. In the selection of officials, it's just that Hongqing paid attention to it, but she didn't intend to intervene in this matter personally, just let the old sixteen watch over it. With the old sixteen being around, there was no need for Hongqing To worry about such small things, what to do and what to do every day, can be said to be very stable.

"Your Majesty has an oral order, Xuan, Renjun Wang Hongqing, see you in the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"

During this period of time, Hong Qing only wanted to do things in a low-key manner, the more stable the better, but obviously, this kind of wish could not be realized, no, after a busy morning, it was almost noon, Hong Qing just wanted to rest for a while. Without a word, Qin Wuyong led two young eunuchs to the Ministry of Industry, and announced the old man's oral order.

"Thank you, my minister, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

The old man had an oral order, thanking you is the meaning of the title, but there is nothing special about it, but Hong Qing's heart was tumbling, nothing else, he just entered the palace early this morning and asked for peace. , It was just chatting with the old man, and I didn't see that the old man had anything special to explain. It was almost time for the lunch break, but the old man suddenly came to tell him that something important must happen. The problem is Hong Qing was thinking about it, but she didn't expect something serious to happen—the quarrel with the Ministry of War has long been resolved, and the cooperation between the two departments has already been on the right track. Although there are still problems, they are all minor. It’s nothing more than a work conflict, and it’s not a big deal. As for the selection of officials in the Ministry of Officials, which is contested by various forces, Hongqing did not directly intervene. A big event happened, but the old man called him so urgently, there was obviously something strange about it.

"My lord, please!"

Qin Wuyong has always been cautious in his words and deeds. Although he could see the confusion flashing across Hong Qing's face, he never explained it. Even when Hong Qing got up, he shot a folded bank note Into his sleeve, Qin Wuyong didn't react at all, but just urged him with a blank face.

Damn, this unfamiliar old dog!

Even though he knew Qin Wuyong's temperament for a long time, Hong Qing had given him tens of thousands of taels of money for so many years, and he really never got any useful information from him, so he was a little annoyed. Even though it never happened, there was already a slight chill in the eyes looking at Qin Wuyong.

"My lord, Your Majesty has just seen the Tripod Armor, and it's almost noon. It might be bad if you make Your Majesty wait for a long time, so please go ahead."

Qin Wuyong is a person who can get in touch with the chief eunuch, and his ability to observe colors is not bad, although the impatient look on Hong Qing's face is only fleeting, but he can see it, and he can't help it from the bottom of his heart. A little hairy, he hurriedly explained with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Eunuch Qin, please."

Hearing what Qin Wuyong said, Hong Qing's heart skipped a beat, nothing else, Xiao Xuanwu was ranked among the top three tripods, and now the old man came to order suddenly, if the trouble is not good, it has something to do with Xiao Xuanwu, just It's hard to say whether it's joy or sorrow, and Hong Qing couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but she couldn't ask any more questions, so she just bowed her hands and thanked her, and hurried towards the direction of the imperial city slowly. go...

"Grandson kowtowed to Huang Mafa!"

Although Hong Qing's mind was heavy, her steps were not slow, and she arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation in about half a stick of incense. Just now, when she entered the hall, she saw that all the elder brothers had arrived, all of them sweating profusely. Apparently it was not long after arriving, as for Zhang Tingyu and other senior scholars, they were all calm and composed, obviously they had already been in the hall, and the old man sitting on the dragon bed seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, laughing and chatting with all kinds of people Seeing this, Hong Qing relaxed her tense heartstrings a little bit, but she didn't dare to show any disrespect, she walked a few steps quickly, and rushed to the front of the imperial court, paying homage to the imperial court with great respect.

"Well, it's free."

Seeing that Hong Qing had arrived, the smile on the old man's face suddenly became a little warmer, and the voice he yelled was especially soft.

"Thank you, Emperor Malfalon."

Although it is not clear why the old man is in such a good mood, Hong Qing reckons that it must have something to do with Xiao Xuanwu's face saint, and since that is the case, Xiao Xuanwu should not cause any big troubles, and this, For Hong Qing, it is enough, there is nothing else, besides this matter, Hong Qing really has nothing to worry about. Thinking of this, Hong Qing was a little relaxed His heartstrings became even more relaxed.

"I called you all here today, because I have something interesting to share with you, um, today I learned that Xiao Xuanwu, a researcher of the current science, did not choose Hanlin, but went to Renzhi County in Henan. Out of curiosity, I called him over and asked him a good question, and only then did I know the basics, and I found it quite interesting, and you all have to guess, what is the reason for that kid to act like this?"

The old man waved his hand, signaling Hong Qing to stand aside, then looked around at the people in the hall, stroked his long beard on his chest, and talked about it with a smile, and finally made a request to everyone.

As soon as the old man said this, all the elder brothers were stunned immediately, and their eyes unconsciously focused on the third master. There is no one else. On the surface, there seems to be no difference, but in fact, the Imperial Academy is a place close to Tianyan, and the speed of promotion is much faster than that of local officials. Let alone Zhang Tingyu Well, he only stayed in the Hanlin Academy for less than a year, and because of the old man's eyes, he was promoted to nine ranks in three years like a blowout, and became the number one person under ten thousand in less than five years. The great scholar of the current dynasty in the university, and the Jinshi of the same period, even if they were the champions of the year, it has been more than ten years, and now they are still around the fifth-rank officials. Of course, there is no doubt that anyone who is a normal person will choose the former, but Xiao Xuanwu chose the latter, so it can't help but make people think that the third master has played some tricks on him.

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, the blue veins on the third master's forehead couldn't stop jumping wildly, nothing else, the third master himself didn't know what was going on, a few days ago Knowing that Xiao Xuanwu was looking for a flower in high school, the third master was still very happy, and specially sent someone to invite Xiao Xuanwu to the mansion, so as to comfort him, the words even hinted at the meaning of agreeing to Ihana's marriage with her, then For a while, I never heard Xiao Xuanwu talk about his intention to go to the place. Of course, the third master didn't ask at that time, because it was the custom for Sanding Jia to enter the Imperial Academy, so there was no need for the third master to take care of it. Hearing that the old man personally confirmed Xiao Xuanwu's request to go down, the third master was already a little out of breath, and when he was sized up by the unkind eyes of all the younger brothers, he couldn't help but get angry, but this is Yuqian, the third master No matter how angry his heart is, there is no room for him to attack, he can only grit his teeth and hold on, his face will inevitably turn blue.

What on earth is the old man trying to do?

Why did Xiao Xuanwu go to the local government? Hong Qing couldn't be more clear about it, but he didn't intend to make such a show, but his mind was running at high speed, silently thinking about how the old man would go in front of everyone. Elder brother mentioned the fundamental intention of this matter in front of him, but in a hurry, it was difficult to think of a reason for a while, and sweat appeared on his forehead...
