In Yufu County, the wind and waves are calm, and you are happy with me.
But the capital at this time was shrouded in dark clouds.
During this period, two major events occurred in the capital.
The first one, the imperial examination in July, the palace examination has ended.
The list of the top three and the test papers were sent directly to Emperor Qi Zhen by the transcription officer of the Hanlin Academy.
He opens the roster.
The names of the three were prominently printed on it.
Lin Shu!
Shangzhuo!
JAC new!
The three stand together.
Lord Lin Silin, the transcription officer of the Hanlin Academy, stood there waiting, looking at it secretly from the moment the emperor opened the roster.
Since he was also a student of Yu Fuzi at Mingshan Academy, he naturally became more concerned when he saw that Shang Zhuo and Lin Shu were on the list.
However, the competition list in the first division still has to be decided by the emperor.
Emperor Qi Zhen opened the test papers written by the three people and looked at them one by one.
The three articles were not many words, but he read them for about half an hour.
To be precise, it is finished in detail.
Lord Lin asked, "Your Majesty, can the champion of the imperial examination be decided?"
Emperor Qi Zhen's forehead was deep, and it was difficult to make a decision.
After a long time, he just picked out the title of Tanhua.
He directly handed Jianghuai's new test paper to Lin Si, and said, "This man is orthodox, and he is good at learning, but in theory of poetry, compared to the other two, he is still lacking a little bit, Dai Tan was assigned to the Hanlin Academy for editing. "
"Yes!" Master Lin took the test paper and asked again, "The champion and the second place?"
Emperor Qi Zhen was still deliberating, "The students taught by the father and son are indeed unusual. Every year in the imperial examination, two people must come from Mingshan Academy, even Master Lin."
"Master is teaching, how many students are there, and the ministers and others are also very honored to worship at the door."
It's someone who can talk!
Simply—
Emperor Qi Zhen threw the problem to him for the time being, and said, "Shang Zhuo and Lin Shu are on the same level, and the six theories are both clear and dark. After reading the articles of the two of them, tell me, who is qualified for the Hanlin Academy?"
Since ancient times, the champion has been admitted to the Hanlin Academy for editing, and the second and third are awarded to the Hanlin Academy for editing.
After half a year of writing, you can hold an official position below the third rank and above the fifth rank in the court, and the editing period is two years. After the completion of the year, you will be assigned to various prefectures and states to serve as local officials, or to take up official positions below the sixth rank in the imperial court. .
As for the others on the list, according to the ranking of this palace examination, they will be awarded Shuji Shi, Master Chief, Zhongshu, Pedestrian, Judge, Doctor, Push Official...
Emperor Qi Zhen threw this problem directly to him, Lin Si thought about it for a moment, then cupped his hands, "The first grade exam in the palace has always been prepared by the emperor, the minister read Shang Zhuo and Lin Shu's articles, both of them are good, if It is really difficult to distinguish one or two.”
"What do you mean by Hanlin Academy?"
"Wait for the emperor to decide."
Emperor Qi Zhen was also worried. He picked up the two articles and read them again. This time, he read them for about an hour, and he was really thinking about each word.
Lins stood there, his feet numb.
But finally—
"Okay, you step back first, I'll think about it again."
Lin Si bowed his head, "Yes, this minister retire."
out.
In fact, it doesn't matter who Shang Zhuo and Lin Shu are the champion this time, they are both students of Mingshan Academy, and they will take care of them in the officialdom.
The second major event is Jing Yi's marriage.
After finishing her daughter's marriage, Concubine Xiao also proposed to Emperor Qi Zhen that her son would marry Concubine Zheng.
The title of Zhengfei is naturally Ji Muqing.
Emperor Qi Zhen had already said that he would think about it, but because the assassin died unprovoked in the Dali Temple prison at that time, and there was also the matter of the officials' participation, so the marriage of Jing Yi was suppressed and never mentioned again. one sentence.
Seeing that the timing was wrong, Concubine Xiao didn't mention it again. Seeing that the storm had passed, she mentioned it again during dinner.
"What is the emperor thinking about Yi'er marrying Zhengfei?"
Emperor Qi Zhen's face was pulled down on the spot, but he didn't say anything.
Just not in the mood to eat.
at bedtime.
While undressing Emperor Qi Zhen, Concubine Xiao said, "Your Majesty, now Xuan'er's marriage has been decided, when everything is ready, she will go to Huyi, the concubine is such a daughter, she is really reluctant."
"It was your suggestion at the time, and I agreed, and you have to be prepared."
"Yes, Xuan'er is married to Huyi. Although I am a mother, I am reluctant to give up, but for her good, I will do anything. This concubine has always thought about the emperor and children in her life. Now Xuan'er has a home. The concubine is very worried about Concubine Yi'er's affairs, Your Majesty, how are you thinking?"
However-
Emperor Qi Zhen did not respond to her.
"emperor?"
"Okay, I said that I will think about it carefully, so don't say more."
The tone is heavy.
Concubine Xiao paused for a moment while undressing for him, and then had to raise a painless smile on the corner of her mouth, and replied, "Yes, listen to the emperor."
Despite saying this, Concubine Xiao is not reconciled!
I haven't thought about it yet, how long will it take
Although I didn't mention it again that night, the next day I continued to grind hard like "Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death".
While Emperor Qi Zhen was finishing reviewing the memorial, he was about to go out for a walk in the imperial garden when Concubine Xiao appeared.
Like a shadow.
Along the way, after walking for a while, he sat down in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden.
What she didn't expect was that this time she didn't mention it herself, and brought the living person directly.
Ji Muqing's figure appeared in the imperial garden just in time.
When she was selected by the prince, she was sent out of the palace due to illness, and she has been staying in the general's mansion. It is not a coincidence that she will be here today, but early in the morning, Concubine Xiao sent someone to take her into the palace. , just waiting for this good show.
Different from the image of heavy makeup in the past, today's Ji Muqing is very plain.
She was wearing a purple-red cardigan embroidered with beautiful peony flowers and daffodils. She was covered with a light gauze and lifted with the wind. The makeup on her face was not as powdery as before, but she just smeared a little powder. His eyes are slightly curved, his eyebrows are slender as willow leaves, his nose is tall and straight, his lips are as pale as vermilion, and his whole person is as light and picturesque.
For a moment, she had some similarities with Ji Wanxin, but she lacked the latter's morbid beauty.
She walked to the pavilion with graceful steps, and Wen Wen gave a salute.
She didn't dare to look directly, and said with a small mouth, "The people's daughter Ji Muqing sees the emperor, sees the concubine Xiao."
The sound is like a song.
Emperor Qi Zhen frowned slightly.
Concubine Xiao immediately explained, "Your Majesty, this is the case. The concubine knew that Miss Ji was in the capital and had no relatives other than her eldest brother and second brother, so she thought of letting her enter the palace to walk around and accompany the concubine to talk."
Are you kidding me
Entering the palace and not staying in your palace, come here to meet by chance
