Hand-picked Jieyuan!
In the Wei Dynasty, this was the number one honor in the world.
When all the examiners present heard this, their eyes turned red when they looked at Xu He.
Why?
Because our Majesty is a notoriously mean emperor since the beginning of the dynasty. He is not only mean to the courtiers who work for him, but also treats the concubines and princes in the harem "very poorly"!
Not to mention a small student who took the provincial examination.
Based on everyone's understanding of His Majesty the Emperor, the most likely way to deal with this situation is to dismiss the examiners, strip the students of their honors and repatriate them to their place of origin.
But he didn’t know that the president of the rural examination, Gu Shouyuan, Lord Gu, was in the emperor’s heart. Did the emperor obey his words? Or is it that Xu He, the boy Kuixing, is still alive, and his majesty actually treats him leniently?
In fact, Xu He was also surprised when he heard that Emperor Zhizheng actually issued a special decree.
The emperor personally participated in the provincial examination. This dynasty did not do so, but the Ming Dynasty in another time and space did.
It is said that during the Jingtai period, Liu Yan, a bachelor, served as the president of the Shuntian Prefecture Township Examination, and he took Jiangyin Xu Tai as the Jieyuan.
Xu Tai's family was wealthy and had many connections with the upper class, so someone took part in the affair between Liu Yan and Xu Tai.
Liu Yan argued vigorously in front of the emperor, and when there was a stalemate, the Ministry of Rites came forward and said that it would be better to take the exam again. If Xu Tai has real ability, it will be self-evident.
According to this, the Five Classics Kuishi was summoned to test the ban in person. When he was sealed, he was in front of all the cabinet ministers.
Later, the emperor opened the seal and read the scroll, and found that it was indeed a brilliant literary talent, so he still awarded Xu Tai the title of Jieyuan.
People at that time called it "Jiu Ren".
But this happened in another time and space. In this life, I have never heard of the emperor personally approving a Jieyuan.
Everyone's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Especially Wang Zhong, the emperor had already confirmed with his eyes that Xu He was the right person.
He was still a fool and kept making noises there.
What is this called?
This is called grinding naked and spinning in circles, which is embarrassing.
…
In fact, Xu He just learned about this when he was meeting his master.
Yes, it was his idea to summon the ministers from the Nanjing Ministry and Temple to share joys and sorrows.
But asking Gu Shouyuan to write a letter to the emperor and choosing another person to write the topic was not his original intention.
He originally thought that with so many big men entering the Gongyuan, if anything happened, Gu Shouyuan would be able to escape and prove it.
Unexpectedly, Gu Shouyuan would act so cautiously.
He directly asked the Nanjing Zhenfu Secretary to hand over a note to the emperor that night, and simply threw away his own responsibility for coming up with the question and handed it over to others, and it was over.
Even after grading, the top papers and rankings were shown to the emperor in person before the list was written.
His cautious actions ultimately saved him and Xu He.
When he heard Xu He's analysis, he actually didn't panic.
But he didn't mind using this opportunity to see what methods the Shen family used to punish him.
That's right, punish him. He is currently on the rise in his official career. If he is not careful, he will miss out on the cabinet.
The normal process is that after two or three years, he will be promoted to the Ministry of Rites as a minister, then minister, and then join the cabinet to take on ministry duties.
Even though he seems to be in good shape now, the lower he is as an official, the more he has to walk on thin ice.
After he became the chief examiner, he could almost report to the Ministry of Etiquette.
At this time, the Shen family hugged him in order to harm others. Isn't this a proper rift?
Therefore, in order to "give back", he deliberately suppressed the emperor's will temporarily and waited for people like Wang Zhong to take the bait.
Moreover, Xu He also analyzed the ways in which the Shen family slandered him that day.
In the end, I felt that letting him, the newly promoted Jieyuan, make a fool of himself at the Lu Ming Banquet was the way to retaliate for a wealthy family like the Shen family... Either don't do it, or do it to the extreme.
Therefore, if you want to find out who is coming, the method is simple.
The examiners and examiners checked and listed them one by one, and finally invited Guo Zhu to investigate the life and past of many people in the name of investigating and leaking the questions.
Only then did Gu Shouyuan and Xu He understand Wang Zhong as well as they did just now.
Gu Shouyuan smiled coldly at Wang Zhong at this time and said: "I had known that there were cunning people like you who would attack rape and slander, so I asked Your Majesty to ask about this personally. Wang Zhong, do you have anything else to say?"
When Wang Zhong saw this, he quickly knelt down and said, "Student, student, it's just... it's just hearsay."
"Hmph, how brave are you? Are you the imperial censor, and you have heard of something? You dare to spread rumors about things that are not true. The country has been corrupted by people like you!" Xue Yongzhi, a hot-blooded young man, finally became angry and cursed fiercely. .
Gu Shouyuan said: "It just so happens that everyone is here inside and outside the curtain. You all can tell me how to take the Jinke Provincial Examination."
Xue Yongzhi was the first to stand up and clasped his fists and said: "The examiner ordered the military personnel and others to check carefully. Anyone who indulges in tyranny and records each other's words will be punished! Those who are found to be treacherous will be rewarded with five taels of silver! Those who report misbehavior will be rewarded by Shang Yin. Twelve!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately felt their anus tighten. No wonder he was so perverted during the inspection.
Gu Shouyuan said again: "Inspector!"
"Your Majesty is here. The Chief Examiner ordered the guards to stop dispatching troops in the camp. Those who have done so before are not allowed to do so again. If someone else pretends to be a regular soldier and enters the camp, the person who found it will abandon the market!"
"Hiss..." All the people took a breath of cold air.
Gu Shouyuan: "Promotion, supervisor!"
"On patrol, you are not allowed to join the number privately. You are not allowed to talk to others. Anyone who violates the rules will be reported to the court and will be dismissed from office and imprisoned!"
"..."
"..."
The examiners who performed their respective duties all explained their functions and reward and punishment conditions.
Everyone discovered that they had inadvertently participated in the most stringent provincial examination in the country's century.
The level of perversion is simply unrivaled.
For example, in recent years, a cheating method called "bee collecting honey" has become popular in imperial examinations.
Specifically, a person who is very good at writing eight-part essays is prepared to be added to the transcription team. Before entering, he bribes a soldier to bury black ink and stolen blank papers under the floor tiles of the transcription room.
When the cheating candidate's papers arrive, he will take out the black ink and blank papers that he had prepared long ago, and then write beautiful essays on his behalf, and then burn the papers that the candidates wrote themselves.
In order to prevent someone from doing this, Gu Shouyuan temporarily asked people to pry open all the floor tiles before transcribing, and then opened the doors and windows. The guards in uniforms kept an eye on each one to ensure that nothing happened.
When everyone heard this, they felt numb all over, but they couldn't help but straighten their backs and said in their hearts: "Why should I be numb? Our subject is an ordained subject that has no brains at all!"
When they think of this, everyone feels that they are awesome.
Think about Xu He again.
Xu He cheated?
His original name spread throughout southern Zhili, and now he is Jieyuan, who was personally appointed by the emperor. Isn't questioning him the same as questioning His Majesty?
Besides, if he really wanted to cheat, how could Gu Shouyuan give him a try?
Wouldn't it be more unsightly to be admitted secretly?
This can only show that Xu He is really awesome.
Gu Shouyuan looked at Wang Zhong and said: "You are just a judge, and you are selfishly trying to figure out whether you have an ulterior motive in framing the same year. Let the Jinyi Guards judge you! But..."
Speaking of this, he said meaningfully to the king's good ministers: "But before that, please ask the Grand Master to deprive him of his honors and give him clothes!"
"No, don't, Grand Master, Teacher, the student knows his mistake, the student just said what he said unintentionally!" When Wang Zhong heard this, his heart was broken, and he knelt on the ground and knocked his head out until blood came out.
Wang Liangchen sighed and said nothing. He cupped his hands towards Gu Shouyuan with a complicated expression, indicating that he understood.
Seeing this, Gu Shouyuan turned around and said coldly: "Pull it down!"
Xue Yongzhi liked to beat up drowned dogs the most. He knocked off Wang Zhong's hair crown, grabbed his hair and dragged him out.
Heartbreaking cries of pain suddenly came from Minglun Hall.
Gu Shouyuan smiled at this moment and said, "Xie Yuanlang, let's parade around the streets with hairpins!"
Xu He was shocked in his heart. He boasted that he had a fairly thorough grasp of human nature, but when he looked at this master again, Xu He discovered that although he was the same [Ten Sons of Ding Mo] as his teacher and uncle, he was a completely different person.
He is cautious, he is shrewd, and he seems harmless.
But as long as his interests are harmed, he is a wolf who chooses people to eat.
Sure enough, no one can do well in the court!
