Zhao Changping's meaning is very simple.
If you really want to take part in Chen Shang, then he, the Minister of Household Affairs, should take part.
And when that time comes, it will be more than just a test. Either Yang Jingzong tolerates it, or Yang Xiang's family and Ganquan Academy's family officially start a war.
Although this can achieve part of the little emperor's purpose to a certain extent, a big boss like Zhao Changping is definitely not as easy to control as Shen Yi. If he doesn't get it right, the little emperor may overturn.
After the little emperor lost his temper, he sat down in his seat angrily. After sulking for a while, he slowly said: "Gao Ming."
Eunuch Gao lowered his head: "My servant is here."
The little emperor lowered his head and said: "Go to the Hanlin Academy to find a Hanlin official and compile Chen Shang's affairs into the imperial newspaper. I have been in charge for almost a year. It's time to test Old Man Yang's attitude."
Gao Ming nodded: "I obey your orders."
"also."
His Majesty the Emperor said slowly: "As for Shen Yi, don't force him to write the residence report. Take the time to give him something to appease him."
The still somewhat immature emperor finally calmed down and said, "The people at Ganquan Academy are very fond of him. They won't be able to use him this time, but they will probably be able to use him one day in the future."
Gao Ming lowered his head. The eunuch hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the provincial examination results will be released in a few days. I should be able to ask about the results by now. Do you... want to ask about Shen Yi's provincial examination results?"
"Interference" means interference.
The emperor lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "That's all, this is the first subject after I took over the government. I need to select some talents for the court. The national talent promotion ceremony will not be asked. If he can win, it is naturally good, and he cannot be ranked in the bottom. Just one subject.”
The rural examination and the national examination are consecutive examinations. Although generally speaking, the Spring Wei examination is considered one subject, but after all, it is the Jiankang rural examination, so it can barely be counted as one subject.
Generally speaking, the emperor attaches great importance to the first subject after he ascends the throne. After all, these admitted scholars will become the cornerstone of the new dynasty. However, in the past few years, the little emperor was in the status of a mascot until this year. He had just started to take over the court affairs, so this subject can be regarded as the first subject of his career.
Gao Ming lowered his head.
"My slave understands."
…
In a blink of an eye, time has arrived in November of the sixth year of Hongde. The weather in Jiankang is getting colder day by day. The business of the two Xuji Chuanchuanxiang shops on the Qinhuai River is getting better and better.
At this time, there was only one day left before the results of the provincial examination were released. Shen Yi had nothing to do and went to Xu Fu's shop for a tour. He also had dinner and sat down to have a drink with Xu Fu.
Although Shen Yi is not very old, after arriving in Jiankang, he was taken along by Zhang Jian and Zhao Jizhou. In fact, he had a few drinks and gained some experience at the wine table. By the way, he also brought Xu Fu, a newcomer to the wine table, with him.
Because he was not an outsider, he didn't drink much. After the two of them drank a bottle of wine, Shen Yi got up and left, heading towards his home in the night.
He lived not far from the Qinhuai River. In just one stick of incense, he arrived at the entrance of the alley. As soon as he turned in from the alley, he saw a purple sedan parked at the door. On both sides of the sedan, there were two slightly smiling people standing there. A bowing young man in blue.
The two young men subconsciously bent slightly, and their movements were very standard.
Shen Yi has seen this kind of person before, and he can recognize the characteristics of this kind of person at a glance.
Palace man.
In common parlance, they are eunuchs.
Shen Yi shook his head, sobered up, then strode up to the sedan, Shen Yi cupped his hands and said, "Who is this father-in-law?"
During this period of time, Shen Yi, especially in the past half month, had come into contact with many people in the palace, especially the father-in-law Qian from the newspaper company. He had been visiting every day in the past few days, and he was already relatively familiar with these people in the palace. .
The curtain of the sedan was opened at a corner, and the calm-looking Eunuch Gao walked out of the sedan. After seeing Shen Yi, Eunuch Gao looked at Shen Yi with a smile on his face: "Young Master Shen is back."
After seeing Eunuch Gao, Shen Yi looked serious and said, "Eunuch Gao has something to do. Just ask someone to come over and give you a note. Why are you here in person?"
Eunuch Gao had a faint smile on his face: "Your Majesty personally ordered it. It's not good to pretend to others."
Shen Yi nodded quickly and walked to the door of his house. While knocking on the door, he turned around and smiled at Gao Ming: "Please, Eunuch Gao."
Soon, Ping'er came over and opened the door for Shen Yi. She recognized Gao Ming. After seeing Gao Ming, she immediately shrank her head, saluted to Eunuch Gao, and then hid behind Shen Yi, not daring to see anyone.
Seeing this, Gao Ming smiled dumbly: "It seems that these two little girls are living well in Mr. Shen's place, and they are starting to cling to others."
Shen Yi smiled and said nothing.
Soon, Shen Yi invited Gao Ming to the living room of his home. The maid Qing'er quickly brought hot tea. After the two of them sat down and took a sip of tea, Gao Ming looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, the seventh issue of Di Bao How's the writing going?"
Shen Yi gave a wry smile, shook his head and said, "Eunuch Gao, I've really exhausted my talents."
Eunuch Gao didn't waste any time and smiled directly: "You don't need to write about Chen Shang."
Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and also smiled: "After hearing what my father-in-law said, I suddenly became full of thoughts. I can hand in the manuscript by tomorrow at the latest."
Eunuch Gao laughed and said, "Young Master Shen is such a wonderful person."
Gao Ming laughed for a while, his smile faded a little, and he said slowly: "Okay, let's get down to business."
Eunuch Gao said calmly: "Young Master Shen has been working hard for the court in the past six months. Your Majesty misses Young Master Shen's contribution very much, and specially asked our family to come over and ask Young Master Shen what reward he wants."
Shen Yi said without hesitation: "Father-in-law, the Di newspaper company does not allow me to write about Mr. Chen. This is the greatest reward for me. Please go back and thank the Holy Father on my behalf."
"Since Your Majesty wants to reward you, then just accept the reward with peace of mind. Don't be pushy and procrastinate. You are a petty person."
He looked at Shen Yi and smiled: "The provincial examination results will be released tomorrow. Mr. Shen doesn't want to be on the provincial examination results tomorrow?"
To be honest, the temptation of this sentence is very great.
Because Shen Yi didn't have much of the "integrity" of scholars of this era, not because of his character problems, but because he grew up in the environment of later generations, which made his character somewhat smooth and not so rigid.
He raised his head and looked at Gao Ming's expression. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head slightly: "Father-in-law, Shen Yi will be a capable minister in the future, not a lucky minister."
Eunuch Gao narrowed his eyes and nodded, then looked around and said, "Young Master Shen has a great talent and is a little aggrieved to live here. After all, the palace still has several vacant houses in the North City. Let's How about I say hello to them tomorrow and ask them to clean them out so that Mr. Shen can live there for free?"
Just when Shen Yi was about to shake his head and refuse, he saw Eunuch Gao's face darken and he said, "Since Your Majesty wants to show mercy, it's probably inappropriate for Mr. Shen to refuse blindly. This matter has been settled. I'll ask Qian Jin to do it in two days." Come here and take Mr. Shen to move."
After saying these words, Eunuch Gao stood up, put his hands in his sleeves, walked out the door, and walked behind the door of the living room. He turned back to Shen Yi and smiled.
"Tomorrow the results of the provincial examination will be released. I wish Mr. Shen a good name on the list."
