April 15th, Palace Exam.
The palace examination was held in the Chongzheng Hall. The emperor did not use the examination questions that the chief examiner Ji Anmin personally drafted, but made a temporary examination question - the question was Shi Xun's taxation, which had been debated a while ago. This matter not only caused a lot of shock in the courtroom, but also involved King Yan, Shi Lezheng and his son after they were put to death by a coincidence. The dialogue was also cited as a strange talk by the people. It's just that although Shi Lezheng and his son have been put to death, the mess left by Bingzhou has to be cleaned up. How to appoint officials in Bingzhou and how to appease the people all need to be carefully discussed.
Coinciding with the palace exam at this time, Xiao Zhige thought that Bingzhou was lacking people, so he made the matter a question and asked these candidates how to solve it. If you have a good answer, you can send it to Bingzhou to practice.
However, the imperial examinations have always examined the Four Books and Five Classics, and Poetry and Fu Policy Theory, but Xiao Zhige lacks people, not people who can talk about soldiers on paper, but people who are practical and pragmatic and can solve problems for him. These candidates originally came with confidence and preparation, but when they heard the exam questions, many people's eyes straightened, and then a thin cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
In addition, Xiao Zhige was born with a majestic bearing, and his momentum became even stronger after he became the emperor. Sitting on the dragon seat of the Chongzheng Hall, looking down with condescending eyes, after a short while, the anxious and frightened examinee's legs softened, sitting on the ground and wailing.
Ji Anmin made a gesture, and the guards standing beside him lifted the wailing candidate out of the examination room. This time, Jinke has no chance with him. The other candidates around, who were more determined to wipe their sweat, continued to frown to answer the questions; those who were less determined, looked at the candidate who was dragged down, and they were already confused, as if they saw their own fate...
The palace exam took a full two hours to answer. After the answer, the examiner collected the examination papers, and the candidates who finished the examination were invited to take a break in the side hall, and the eighteen examiners began to correct their names on the spot. After the approval, the two sides will be reviewed and the ranking will be ranked, and then the top ten test papers will be presented to Xiao Zhige, who will choose the top three.
Due to the particularity of the exam questions this time, the grading of the palace exam was very different from before. Xiao Zhige never left, and even brought a memorial to pass the time.
When Xiao Zhige presented the ten exam papers, Xiao Zhige looked at them one by one, his frowning eyes finally relaxed a little - at least the papers presented were all down-to-earth solutions, not that Looking at the emptiness of this flower cluster, it is actually empty. Especially in one of the papers, the idea coincided with him. He had some guesses in his heart, but he was not sure, so he drew up the ranking and asked Ji Anmin to review it again.
After Ji Anmin also had no objection, he just invited those who were resting to go to the Chongzheng Hall, and Chuanlu read the rankings in the hall.
The first three were awarded the jinshi and the second, namely Zhou Helan, Zhuo Qingquan, and Hao Changfeng.
Afterwards, one hundred and twelve people from the top two were given the Jinshi background; two hundred and twenty-three people from the top three were given the same background as the Jinshi.
A total of 338 people were enrolled in this department. In the later records, it was the imperial examination with the largest number of people and the most relaxed one during the reign of Xiao Zhige.
And the three tripods in this department are also worthy of their name, and even after many years, they are also models of future courtiers.
Xiao Zhige named the top three, but did not assign them a ranking. He pointed the test paper at hand, and said solemnly: "The three of you have their own strengths, and I can't choose. But the state is urgent, so If you give a good answer in the class, you will be the champion."
Then he gave the three of them seats, and asked questions one by one about the strategies mentioned in the three answers.
Xiao Zhige rarely showed a happy expression in front of outsiders. He dipped his pen with gold and ink inscriptions, and appointed Zhou Helan as the champion, Hao Changfeng as the second place, and Zhuo Qingquan as the third flower.
"The Age of Rebirth"
"Are you dissatisfied?"
The three of them knelt down and thanked them, all of them dissatisfied.
The next day, there was another rumor that the emperor held the emperor's list and read it in front of the gate of the Gongyuan. The second-class scholars have their own places, but the three-level armor is exceptionally appointed by Xiao Zhige. Second place Hao Changfeng and Tanhua Langzhuo Qingquan were appointed as county magistrates, and after the banquet, Qionglin left for Bingzhou to take office. The champion Zhou Helan stayed in the capital and entered the Taifu Temple, and was appointed a fifth-rank Taifu Chancellor.
The champion entered Taifu Temple, and the second ranked flower went to Bingzhou for training, which are all signs of the emperor's reuse. In addition, the question and answer between the king and the emperor of the three tripods and the emperor was also spread, and aroused the enthusiasm of many students. Today, the sage is thirsty for talents. For a while, the reading wind of poor people prevailed, and the upcoming Qionglin Banquet became more and more exciting.
On the day of Qionglin Banquet, Xiao Zhige and An Changqing attended together. In the previous palace exam, because of Zhou Helan, An Changqing took the initiative to avoid suspicion in order to avoid the melon field. Now that the dust has settled, there is no need to pretend to be alienated.
The Guanglu Temple held the Qionglin Banquet very lively, and the first and second-class scholars could attend and drink with the king as nonvoting guests. After the opening session, the drums roared. Xiao Zhige and An Changqing raised their glasses and drank with everyone. After drinking, Xiao Zhige looked at Zhou Helan and the three who were in the second seat again: "The three of you are about to serve the country. If you have any requests, you can tell me, and I can meet your requirements one by one."
The three looked at each other for a moment, Hao Changfeng and Zhuo Qingquan had not yet grasped the emperor's temperament, so they both looked at Zhou Helan hesitantly. After all, it is said that Zhou Helan used to be the subordinate of King Yan, and he must have seen His Majesty.
Zhou Helan, who was sitting at the front, pondered for a while, then stood up and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I do have an unfulfilled wish."
Xiao Zhige raised his brows: "Oh? You said."
Zhou Helan said: "The old man said that he got married first and then established a career. Now the ministers are full of weak crowns, but they have not yet been engaged, so I want to ask your majesty to marry them."
Unexpectedly, this is what he was going to say. Xiao Zhige glanced at An Changqing in surprise, and asked him with his eyes, "Didn't you tell him?"
An Changqing nodded slightly and answered silently: I told you.
Xiao Zhige had said before that if Zhou Helan was in high school, he and An Xianyu would marry him and marry An Xianyu beautifully. Later, in Zhou Helan High School, Zhou's mother invited a matchmaker to go to Yanwang's mansion to say kiss, and An Changqing informed him about it.
He just didn't think that he would bring it up again at the Qionglin Banquet. He wasted a good opportunity. He clearly knew the unpleasant rumors in private, and took the opportunity to correct An Xianyu's name. He personally asked His Majesty about the marriage. He came, not King Yan to force him with grace.
But at this time, Xiao Zhige could only follow his words and say, "Oh? Does Helan have a favorite girl? Which lady is she?"
"The person I admire is the sister of King Yan."
Zhou Helan bowed to An Changqing again, and said slowly: "When she was in Yanzhou, Miss An ran a women's school to enlighten Yanzhou women. This minister was fortunate enough to witness her demeanor and fell in love at first sight. But at that time, the minister was only a white body, and also I don't have a prominent family background, so I don't dare to be wishful thinking. That's how I thought about the imperial examination. Now, His Majesty doesn't give up, and he is appointed as the champion, so I ask Yan Wang to marry my sister to me. He Lan only wants one person to stay with me in this life burden."
After he finished speaking, he bowed to the end again.
Xiao Zhige's expression softened more and more, and he praised a good word with his palm, but he did not agree immediately, but turned his head and asked An Changqing: "Can King Yan agree?"
An Changqing smiled and nodded: "Young Master Zhou has a precious character and is a good person worthy of entrustment."
After Xiao Zhige heard it, he ordered someone to draw up an imperial decree on the spot to marry Zhou Helan and An Xianyu. Zhou Helan held the precious imperial decree, his eyes trembled slightly, and thanked him again.
After the marriage was granted, the Qionglin banquet continued, but the focus of everyone's topic became Zhou Helan's invitation to His Majesty to grant the marriage. After the Qionglin Banquet was over, the story of the champion's marriage was spread. The previous rumors were self-defeating, and those who said a lot of sour things in private were more like eating unripe sour oranges, their teeth were almost sore, but they dared not say any more gossip. After all, it was His Majesty who bestowed the marriage personally, who would dare to speak up again
Zhou Helan returned to the Zhou Mansion with the imperial decree for marriage, and not long after that, he invited a big media to personally select 36 kinds of mascots, riding a tall horse, and went there in person with a more solemn attitude than the champion parade. Yanwang Mansion proposes marriage. After that, it was about asking the name, Najib, accepting the levy, and applying for an appointment. The two families set an auspicious date for their marriage, and the marriage was considered a successful conclusion, just waiting for the wedding day.
An Changqing looked at Mian Ruohongxia's younger sister, and when she recalled her previous life, it seemed like a lifetime away.
Xiao Zhige held his hand beside him and whispered: "Xianyu's marriage is also fixed, you don't have to worry about it in the future."
An Changqing rolled her eyes and smiled, with a teasing expression: "Without this worry, there are still a lot of political dignitaries to worry about."
Xiao Zhige coughed lightly and said in a righteous manner: "It's okay, I'm worried about it together."
***
After An Xianyu's marriage was decided, it was already in May, the spring sun was coming to an end, and summer had quietly revealed a corner.
And the envoy Yuze, who had been delayed for a long time, finally arrived in Yejing.
Honglu Temple held a banquet as usual, not only Xiao Zhige and An Changqing attended the banquet, but also invited Xue Wuyi to the banquet, but the other two envoys from the West had no chance to appear in front of people again - since February, Xiao Zhi Ge and Xue Wuyi reached a cooperation, so they ordered the two envoys to be controlled, and only continued to use their hands to pass some false news back to Xiji. Now it has been more than three months since the Xiji envoy arrived in Yejing, and the situation in Xiji is turbulent, but the meaning of the king of Xiji is to ask them to continue delaying time. Even if Xue Wuyi cannot be told to die in Da Ye, he must Can't go back to the West in the short term.
Xue Wuyi followed the wishes of King Xiji and kept the plan in Daye. After the two envoys were controlled, he no longer lived in a secluded place. He often walked around to see, and occasionally went to find An Changqing to relieve his boredom. He was much more active than when he first came. It's just that his face is also getting worse day by day.
An Changqing thought he would not come this time, but he did not expect that he would come anyway. Seeing that his face was as white as a piece of paper, but still holding on, he asked Wang Yu to change him a pot of ginseng tea, and disagreed: "You are not in good health, so you really don't have to come."
Xue Wuyi was very meaningless, and smiled softly: "I heard that Yuze's customs and customs are very different from those of Great Yexi, I am very curious, but I have never had the opportunity to take a look. This opportunity is rare, and naturally I can't miss it."
An Changqing saw that although his body was weak, but his eyes were clear and firm, he knew that he had made a decision and no longer advised him, but only asked him to take care of his health.
Xue Wuyi bowed his head and thanked him, then toasted to the envoy Yuze who was sitting next to him.
Yuze came to Da Ye this time, and the battle was bigger than they thought. In addition to the envoys, there was even a King Yu. It is Huai Rushan, the brother of Huai Ruyu, the king of Yuze.
Huai Rushan has a gentle appearance, has the demeanor of an elegant scholar in the south, and speaks very well. The banquet is only halfway through, and he has already had a good conversation with the officials of Honglu Temple.
An Changqing listened to them talking about Yuze's contacts with the surrounding small countries, and interjected a few words, Huai Rushan saw that he was interested, so he explained in more detail: "Yuze is close to the sea, and many people live by the sea. , so they are very good at building ships. We have built many large ships, and we often do business with some small countries around... Has King Yan ever seen the sea?"
An Changqing shook his head and said, "I've only seen it in travel journals. I think it should be very magnificent."
Huai Rushan described the majestic waves of the sea to him, and said in a strange tone: "I thought the lord would have seen the sea."
"Why did King Yu say this?" An Changqing smiled and shook his head: "I was born in Yejing and grew up in Yejing, and I haven't had a chance to go to the seaside."
Huai Rushan smiled and toasted him: "There will always be opportunities in the future."
After the banquet was over, the minister of the Honglu Temple sent the Yuze mission to the inn to rest.
Xiao Zhige's face sank, and he said coldly, "That Huai Rushan has been leading you to talk to him."
An Changqing thought he was jealous again: "King Yu looked straight and straight, and he didn't look good."
It is difficult to know that Xiao Zhige shook his head and said solemnly: "When he was talking to Honglu Siqing, Yuguang was watching you all the time. Yuze's trip must have other plans."
Huai Rushan's eyes are very obscure, if it wasn't for Xiao Zhige's years of martial arts practice, his eyesight is excellent. In addition, his eyes habitually fell on An Changqing, and he would not find this violation.
He instructed An Changqing: "Before you find out their purpose, you have been out of the palace less recently."
Seeing this, An Changqing responded in a serious manner. Yuze had too many mysteries for them, and being cautious would never go wrong.
The author has something to say: Cowardly: what to look at, and then look at your eyes.
Huai Rushan: …
