Chapter 237
When the half-month imperial examination came to an end, a name was already familiar to the people in the capital.

The fifth wife of the Jiang family in Tianshui, the direct granddaughter of Jiang Taifu.

She is the first in every subject, and even the most picky Jiuqing can't criticize her examination papers.

Afterwards, Jiang Yuanxi's three subject papers were posted for the reference of students all over the world. This is Jiang Taifu's intention, so as to save some people from gossiping, saying that he gave the first name for his sake.

Even the examination questions of this imperial examination were posted. After reading the examination questions and Jiang Yuanxi's papers, no one made irresponsible remarks.

Since then, the papers for the first place in the imperial examination will be posted every time, so that people all over the world can check whether they are qualified.

The top three in the Jinshi section are first class, the first champion, No.2 second place, No.3 Tanhua, and the rest are second class.

Jiang Yuanxi became the first three-yuan grade in the imperial examination system.

But Chen Xiong was not happy.

This imperial examination was beyond Chen Xiong's expectation. He thought that the family would dismiss it, but the family who made the loudest noises also sent their own girls to participate. Sometimes he really didn't understand what these families were thinking , but it doesn't matter, the family simply sent girls to apply for the exam, that is to say, they have nothing to say against the imperial examination.

In fact, the aristocratic family did not agree with the imperial examinations as Gu Yidan and Chen Xiong thought. This time they explored the road, just to see how deep the water is inside, and whether they can eat big fish from it. Imperial examination questions.

After his daughter returned home, she wrote out the test questions silently, and the owner asked her husband to do it on the spot.

After the three subjects were passed, seeing that his husband had successfully passed the imperial examination, his opposition was not so firm.

However, some aristocratic families saw that their nephews could not pass the imperial examination, and their opposition was more determined.

From Mingjing, the first subject, one must be familiar with the Nine Classics, to the second, Xiucai, one must be familiar with the laws and arithmetic of Beiliang, and the Jinshi, the last subject, covers more knowledge. , Farming, military affairs, national plans, etc. may all be tested, which means that from the time of enlightenment at the age of five, at least twenty or so books must be familiarized.

Not everyone is talented in reading. The patriarchs of these aristocratic families calculated that if they wanted to make achievements in the imperial examinations, they would have to study hard for at least ten years.

But now their nephews can be recommended for official careers as long as they are seventeen or eighteen years old, so why should they cut off their career path?

It's a pity that the aristocratic family was divided into two halves, and it was Jiang Taifu who affirmed the imperial examination in the court that caused the greatest harm to those who were extremely firm in their opposition.

Everyone didn't know what kind of medicine Jiang Taifu was selling in the gourd, so they heard him ask Chen Xiong respectfully, "My lord, it was said in the statement made by King Weisheng that the students who passed the imperial examination were all students of the emperor. What official position do you mean?"

As soon as he said this, everyone suddenly realized that the number one scholar was Taifu Jiang's granddaughter!

Many people thought they understood the meaning of Jiang Taifu's move, because many members of Jiang's family had their official positions taken away before, and only Jiang Taifu and Jiang Song supported them in the court, and the place was even more pitiful, only Jiang Song's two sons supported them. .

The power of the Jiang family has plummeted, and the Holy Majesty has once overthrew Jiang Taifu. It is hard to see an opportunity to strengthen the power of the Jiang family. If it were them, they would not let it go. If this girl is a girl from his own family, then it's a different matter.

Everyone felt that Mr. Jiang was in a hurry, so it made sense that his attitude of resolute opposition changed immediately.

Followed by the old man of the Zheng family in Xingyang, Da Honglu of Jiuqing, he also felt that Jiang Taifu's intention was to expand the power of the family. Since the daughter of the Jiang family can be an official, his granddaughter is No. The second place in the .2 list is also qualified to be an official.

As for the matter of marrying or not in the future, Zheng Dahonglu doesn't care about it for the time being, and it is only reasonable to take the benefits first.

So he also echoed Jiang Taifu's words.

As an in-law of the Jiang family, General Zheng has always been with Jiang Taifu in the court. He cannot see through Jiang Taifu's plan, but it does not prevent him from agreeing.

In fact, there were only six or seven people who passed the Jinshi Section this time. These aristocratic families saw Jiang Taifu taking the lead, and after thinking about it, they followed suit. Anyway, if they can really be officials, let their own little ladies be puppets, and their own lords It's not impossible for us to control it, so we should be familiar with the political affairs of the court in advance. Anyway, their girls can pass the imperial examination, so there's no reason why gentlemen can't.

Being overwhelmed by Jiang Taifu's question, Chen Xiong was taken aback, he really forgot about it, coughed lightly, said something and then retreated.

When he returned to the imperial study, the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable.

First of all, Jiang Taifu would let his granddaughter apply for the exam, which he did not expect. Secondly, his granddaughter took the first place, which was also unexpected to him. If he was asked to point Jiang Taifu's granddaughter to be an official, he would be angry no matter what he thought.

"I don't know what's bothering the Holy Spirit?" Yue Huarong put down the notebook in his hand and asked.

As soon as he asked, Chen Xiong told him, "Didn't I hold an imperial examination for women? The granddaughter of Jiang Taifu's family won the first prize. The old man asked me in the court this morning, and he wanted to point out his granddaughter. What did the officials do?"

It's not that Chen Xiong is disgusted with women being officials. He's not a fastidious person anyway. What makes him unhappy is that it's the Jiang family who are going to be officials.

When Yue Huarong heard the words from Jiang Taifu's granddaughter, the bottom of his eyes dimmed. He lowered his eyelids, pretended to think, and smiled softly after a while, "Why do you need to worry about this? Huarong has a plan, so that you can let the emperor deal with the grand teacher." It can also make Jiang Taifu uncomfortable, and make the holy Longyan happy."

Chen Xiong was very interested, "I don't know what good plan Yue Lang has?"

Yue Huarong stood up, came to the map, pointed at a certain point with his slender fingers, "Your Majesty, look at this place."

Chen Xiong strode to the map, squinted and saw the place name Yue Huarong pointed at, "Danyang County?"

Yue Huarong smiled lightly, "Your Majesty, look, this place is located on the edge of Beiliang, not to mention the northeast, it is very desolate, if you point the little lady of the Jiang family to this place as a county magistrate.
She is far away from the capital city, Jiang Taifu can't help her if he is not strong enough, it is difficult for the Jiang family to make achievements in the court, and she is a little lady, very delicate, good at learning but may not be able to survive the long journey , maybe before reaching Danyang County, she fell down.

Your Majesty, look, can this place make Jiang Taifu feel extremely uncomfortable? "

Chen Xiong carefully looked at Danyang County, and saw that the nearby counties were also desolate places. It seemed that no one wanted to go to these places to be the county magistrate. Hearing what Yue Huarong said at this time, Longxin was very happy, haha Laughing loudly, "Yue Lang's plan is very good, I will order Jiang's family now, I really want to see the ugly face of that old man tomorrow."

It wasn't until the imperial decree was sent out that Yue Huarong finally let go of his heart, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.

Wu Niang, fortunately, what you entrusted to me did not disgrace my life.
