On such a big day as today, all civil and military officials with some dignity are here.
But Lao Zhu is not here, so he must make his final appearance.
Let me ask, who dares to come later than the emperor?
Everyone sat in order according to their status, bickering when it was time to quarrel, and making excuses when it was time to make excuses. In short, it was very lively.
Only the people from the Hanlin Academy are different. They are discussing this year's rural examination in Yingtian Mansion, Jieyuan, that is, the famous Qitai.
Well, one of Jianwen’s three idiots!
However, Gu Chen felt that Qitai was still useful, better than that guy Huang Zicheng.
Huang Zicheng is not suitable for practical work, he should spend his life compiling books.
"Guangxi." Hearing this, Han Yike said with concern: "I remember that your nephew Xingyun will also have to take the exam this year, right?"
Xingyun is Gu Hao's character, which means ambitious and bright future.
"How's the score?"
If you pass the rural examination, you will be promoted to a candidate, and you will be a preparatory official. Even if you do not pass the Jinshi examination, you can still be an official or become an official.
"Don't mention it."
Gu Chen didn't care about other people's opinions, picked up a roast duck leg and started to eat it.
These civil servants can drink better than those generals. If they don't eat more and give them some rest, I'm afraid their stomachs won't be able to bear it.
"My brother and sister-in-law wrote a letter saying that the child failed to pass the exam and cried for three days without eating."
"Tell me, why are today's children so unbearable?"
"He thinks that everyone is like his brother-in-law and me, who can get Jinshi at the age of nineteen or twenty?"
"Those who succeed in the first attempt are a minority. Those who succeed three or five times are the norm."
"But you can't blame him. Who makes me, his uncle, so good?"
Only Gu Guangxi in the entire court could say such shameless words.
"A Jinshi who is nineteen or twenty years old is actually nothing special."
Hu Yi, the Minister of Household Affairs, finally found an opportunity to ridicule.
Well, it can be regarded as earning performance in front of your own leader.
"Gu Guangxi, you were a Jinshi in the fourth year of Hongwu, but Master Zhan Huizhan, the royal censor, was only a scholar in the sixteenth year of Hongwu."
"You entered the official position more than ten years earlier than others, why are you still wandering around in the fourth rank?"
"That's right. Today I saw Ling Qianjin's child being particularly lovable. I'm afraid Mr. Gu may not be willing to exchange Ling Qianjin for a better future."
At the palace gate, as soon as the Gu family girl got out of the car, she received the stunning looks of all the noble family members, including his family.
Seeing that Gu Chen's face looked a little ugly, Hu Yi felt a little better. Seeing that his leader was also happy, he smiled again.
"Hey, Mr. Gu and I were just joking. Mr. Gu, please don't be angry."
This Gu Chen is simply the bane of their household department. Anyone who comes into contact with him will be unlucky.
At the moment, I don’t know whether His Majesty will fight or not.
It's just that Liu Bowen was scolded for being sick. I guess the emperor must attack Japan?
Since there is going to be a fight, then the hard times for their household department are coming.
Tell me, can they not be angry?
"Oh, who do I think I am?"
Gu Chen put down the duck leg in his hand, then took out the handkerchief in his arms and wiped his mouth gracefully, and finally said loudly on purpose.
"Isn't this the case in the former Yuan Dynasty, when I was recommended five times, but never got an official position, and finally followed our Majesty's Minister of Household Affairs, Mr. Hu Yihu?"
These words hit Hu Yi's sore spot. Who in the whole court didn't know?
No one else mentioned this matter, but this Gu Chen said it so carelessly.
And he said it so loudly!
Suddenly, Gu Chen changed the subject.
"Master Zhan is very capable, so I am naturally convinced." Gu Chen mocked, "It's not like you, who became a minister through nepotism."
"I heard that your wife followed you and stayed at Mr. Guo's house for one night, and she passed away not long after."
"Master Guo, do you think this is the case?"
Suddenly, there was silence in the hall, no one dared to speak for Guo Huan at this time.
Gu Guangxi has been going crazy for some reason recently, but she can't let him target her, otherwise she might be the one bitten.
"You...you...it was because your deceased wife was ill-fated and had an incurable disease that she left. What are you talking about here?"
Hu Yi fell back in anger.
No matter how shameless he is, he won't give his wife to others, right?
Is he that kind of person?
Also, when did he take his wife to stay at Mr. Guo’s house for one night?
Can the censor speak such nonsense?
But others don't care, this is big gossip!
Many people couldn't help but whisper, and the trolls in the Metropolitan Procuratorate became even more energetic. Don't they have the impeachment material for this month?
The editors of the Hanlin Academy also became more energetic. If this was really the case, wouldn't their pens be allowed to write about it?
"Gu Chen, what are you talking about?"
Seeing that his face was in danger, Guo Huan couldn't sit still at this time.
"This kind of thing is insulting to a person's reputation. If you talk randomly without evidence, do you believe it or not? I...I...I will go to His Majesty to sue you."
Guo Huan asked me for a long time, but he couldn't explain it.
This is not his subordinate, so what can he do?
However, Gu Chen's expression suddenly changed and he said with a smile on his face.
"Why are Mr. Hu and Mr. Guo so angry? I'm just joking with you two."
joke?
"Is there such a thing as making fun of someone's family members?"
Regardless of Wang Daoheng's obstruction, Hu Yi suddenly yelled crazily at Gu Chen.
Don’t you know that for them literati, reputation is more important than life?
"Yes, is there anyone who makes fun of a girl who has not yet left the government?"
Gu Chen yelled back without any fear, and Hu Yi, who was about to pounce, stopped immediately.
His mind was now clearer. He was indeed wrong in the first place, and it would be detrimental to him if he caused trouble here.
Just listen to Gu Chen say: "The children of my Gu family never look at their family status when getting married, only their character and talents, so as not to have anything to do with a villain like Mr. Hu."
"What's more, my girl just got married to the son of a poor family half a month ago, so I don't need Mr. Hu to worry about it."
I have to thank Hu Yi, if he hadn't suddenly made such a fuss.
He still didn't know how he could make this matter known to the whole court, so that the royal family would not be able to say a word and would not blame himself.
Who would have known that when drowsiness comes, a fool will come to give you a pillow.
"Today is a good day for the emperor's eldest grandson, what's the fuss about?"
Seeing that the quarrel was almost over, Zhan Hui stood up. When the peacemaker pulled Gu Chen to sit down, Hu Yi was also pulled back by the people from the Ministry of Revenue.
"The child is still young, why are we engaged?"
Han Yike didn't care about the quarrels between the students. The censor was always on the road to quarrel every day, so it was good to practice talking.
Stop being rusty!
He had met the girl of the Gu family, and originally thought that he and his eldest grandson would be suitable.
Female junior, hold on to gold bricks!
Who knew that before I could mention it, someone else would take the lead.
When Gu Chen saw his master speaking, he started to make up stories.
"A few years ago, I asked the eminent monk of Tianjie Temple to help me appraise the hexagram, saying that my girl will have a calamity when she is nine years old."
"We have to get engaged. Just make a quick move. I just fell in love with a young man who has good looks, good character, and understands how to be a good person. I'm done with it."
