Yan Li stood facing the wind, facing the dusty abandoned garden construction site, his eyes were far away, and two painful folds appeared on his slender eyeliner, "In any case, I will give it a try, I hope the emperor will You can change your mind."
This day is the day when Jinshi enters the palace to meet the emperor, and they are usually summoned in the Huae Building. Later, Li Hai changed it to the Hundred Flowers Forest in the back mountain.
Catch up with the spring, all kinds of flowers are in full bloom, peonies, peach blossoms, crabapple, winter jasmine, etc. are in full bloom, and the back mountain is like a sea of flowers. Choosing such a place to summon Jinshi and candidates is not only elegant, but also pleasing to the eye.
Sitting on the golden dragon chair, Li Hai watched the thirty-six Jinshi kneeling at his feet, shouting long live, feeling extremely happy.
These Scholars are like white lotuses, they have not been polluted by the officialdom, and their personalities are relatively independent. If they can be used well, they can become Li Hai's right-hand man, which will greatly increase his strength. Because the people kneeling below are all literary and military talents, and all of them are talents.
Some of the former court ministers were polluted by the queen mother, and some were from Rong Chang'an, so Li Hai could only choose to develop relationships from these Jinshi.
"People often say that horseshoe disease is the result of the spring breeze. Today you are the most proud and happy people in my Dajing Kingdom. You are all talents from Dajing Kingdom. In the future, Dajing Kingdom will also have me. Of course, there will also be Zi Yan beside me. Concubine, I have to rely on you." Li Hai laughed, hugged Ziyan, shaved his chin, and continued, "It's the time for hairpin flowers to drink wine, and Jinshi, I respect you a glass!"
All the Jinshi straightened up, picked up the wine glasses on the case in front of them, and drank it with Li Hai.
"Your minister must devote himself to the emperor and die!"
Li Hai turned his face to the sky, and smiled with two rows of big white teeth, so proud and happy.
"Hahahaha, don't say that you are dead, it's unlucky! As long as you are willing to serve me, the court will not treat you badly, and neither will I. Today, I will reward each Jinshi with ten taels of gold and a jade belt. , When the imperial court starts to recruit in a few days, I will look at your respective abilities and grant you different official positions."
A tsunami-like voice resounded through the entire back mountain: "Thank you, Lord Lon!"
Zi Yan stood up next to Li Hai, wearing a deep red long skirt that stretched the floor, swayed to the sides of the Jinshi, and cleared her throat with two coughs.
"According to the usual practice, Jinshi and the first-ranked people have to wear hairpins on their temples. Today, I, Ziyan, will replace the emperor and give peach blossoms to all the educated people!"
Zi Yan was smiling, and gave hairpins to each Jinshi, but secretly rolled her eyes, wondering which Jinshi was handsome. If anyone is handsome, Zi Yan will intentionally touch his ear to prepare for the future meeting.
Those Jinshi didn't know that Ziyan had this idea, they thought it was just that Ziyan accidentally touched his ear. Even Li Hai didn't know.
After putting flowers on hairpins, eating wine, and taking silver rewards, Li Hai said to all Jinshi: "Today, you are the happiest group of people. Take the silver and go to Fengle Tower, Fan Tower and other places. Let's have a good time! !"
Eunuch Liu led all the Jinshi to leave the back mountain, but Li Hai pointed at one of the Jinshi, and said to an eunuch next to him, "Go and keep that Jinshi behind!"
The eunuch then walked over, pointed to the Jinshi and said, "May I ask this Jinshi officer, what's his name?"
The Jinshi looked back, the sky was full, his face was bright, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he knew at a glance that he must be a noble person in the future.
When he saw the eunuch, he also smiled all over his face, and said courteously: "The villain is called Liu Yiming, I don't know what my father-in-law called me?"
The eunuch smiled and said: "So you are the winner of this year's spring list, come with me quickly, the emperor wants to see you!"
It is an honor to be summoned by the emperor alone. Liu Yiming was naturally very happy, and smiled brightly: "I don't know if the emperor summoned the villain, what's the matter?"
If the emperor wants to summon him alone, there must be something good going on. Don't even think about it, you know it all. But I don't know what a good thing it is!
The eunuch said: "Don't ask, just follow me! Hurry up, the emperor is waiting for you over there."
Liu Yiming followed behind the eunuch and came to Li Hai. Li Hai was enjoying the beautiful scenery of hundreds of flowers with purple smoke.
"Reporting to the emperor, the Jinshi you mentioned was brought to you by a slave. His name is Liu Yiming!"
"Oh?" Li Hai was surprised and happy when he heard the name, "But the number one scholar who won the first prize?"
Liu Yiming rushed in front of the eunuch to show Li Hai his hospitality and said: "The villain is the number one scholar Liu Yiming, and the villain is willing to be the emperor for the Great Jing Kingdom and do the work of dogs and horses!"
Li Hai looked Liu Yiming from head to toe with sharp eyes. Liu Yiming's face is full of power, and he will definitely be able to use it in the future. Moreover, Li Hai especially looked at his eyes, which were shining and piercing, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was full of confidence. If he didn't have a little ink in his chest, and didn't have a little ability, he wouldn't have such a confident smile.
Li Hai grinned: "Very good! If everyone around me is as loyal to the court and loyal to me as you are, I will lose a few gray hairs."
Thinking that there were not many of his confidantes in the imperial court, Li Hai couldn't help sighing, a trace of pain flashed across his face.
Liu Yiming said: "Since eating the emperor's food, who dares not to be loyal to the emperor and do things for the emperor!"
Li Hai smiled, knowing that his experience is still inexperienced, and he doesn't know how deep the water in the court and palace is.
"Liu Yiming, if I give you an official position, what do you want to do?"
Liu Yiming was overjoyed: It is rare in recorded history that the emperor personally confers an official position without going through the relevant personnel recruitment department! At least, since the imperial examination system, Liu Yiming has never heard of it. From this we can see how much the emperor favored him.
However, in front of the emperor, one must not be complacent or greedy, and one must show a modest and prudent attitude, so that the emperor can be more and more fancy.
"Your Majesty, the villain has just achieved success in one dynasty. He is not very familiar with the affairs of the court and the way of being an official. He conferred the official position in a hurry. The villain is really flattered and dare not obey the order! I hope the emperor will take back the order and wait. After the villain has experienced, it is not too late to appoint him according to his ability."
But for Li Hai, it would be too late if Liu Yiming let it go after he had experienced it.
Now Li Hai feels like he is sitting on the fire pit. Although he thinks that the matter of the queen mother is over, there is still a thorn in his side: Rong Chang'an!
From Li Hai's point of view, Rong Chang'an might take his life and take away his country at any time. Therefore, it is imperative to appoint someone who is loyal to you and capable as your assistant, and there is no longer any delay!
"As long as you have the ability and talent, I will promote you exceptionally." Li Hai pondered for a while, "Liu Yiming, do you want to be an imperial edict by my side?"
