Just when Xu He was thinking wildly, the door of the palace was pushed open. A young eunuch pushed open the door and walked in with an old eunuch wearing a red python suit on his arm.
"Xu He, right?" The old eunuch had a kind face and kind eyes. He looked very much like the Tai Chi old man Xu He met in the park in later generations.
"I've met my father-in-law!" Shen Langgong cupped his hands.
The eunuch said with a smile: "Follow the Sa family, His Majesty wants to see you!"
Xu He followed the eunuch through the corridor to the entrance of the main hall.
The great eunuch stood still and said softly at the door of the palace: "Your Majesty, Xu He is here!"
The sound of a chime came from the hall, and the eunuch turned to Xu He with a smile: "Come in with the Sa family!"
As soon as Xu He walked into the hall, he saw his uncle standing beside him with his head down and eyes drooping.
The old guy Qin Yan was looking at him with a smile.
Xu He didn't dare to look any further and quickly glanced directly ahead.
I saw a middle-aged man wearing a black dark gold Taoist robe and a bun with a white and cold face looking at him.
Xu He hurriedly did not dare to look again. When he followed the eunuch to the palace, he knelt down and said: "My lord, Xu He, the leader of the Southern Zhili Dynasty, is here to greet your majesty. Long live your majesty, long live, long live your majesty!"
Three kowtows and nine bows, even if Xu He, a later man, was unwilling to do so, the rules are the rules. If you want your head, you must abide by the rules.
Also, Xu He originally wanted to call himself a grassroots citizen.
But because he was rewarded with the Zhongjing Guanfu, he was theoretically considered a member of the Wei Dynasty system.
Therefore, after reporting it to the eunuch who taught etiquette, he told me to change my story.
"Are you Xu He?" Emperor Zhizheng's voice was not loud, and Xu He had to work hard to distinguish his northern Mandarin.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am none other than Xu He!"
"I heard that you passed the county examination in two years. Not only did you get the first three yuan in the founding state of Nanzhili, but you also ranked first in the high school provincial examination. How did you do in this subject examination?"
If in future generations, his own family asked this question, Xu He's answer would be simple: "It's okay!"
The main theme is ambiguity!
But now that it was a good match, he wanted to follow Emperor Zheng and reply: "It's okay!"
After returning home, Xiang will probably be beaten out by his uncle.
But if I do well in the exam, I'm very confident. Just wait and give me the rank!
Seems a bit arrogant.
If I answer, I didn't do well in the exam, and I seem to be a little too modest, which means I am proud.
do not care……
Xu He decided to be honest and not play tricks: "Report to Your Majesty, the top fifty will be tested, I have confidence!"
"The top ten depends on whether the two presidents like my article!"
Good guy, so crazy.
Cold sweat broke out on Xu Song's forehead.
He really didn't expect that this kid would be so honest.
The hall was extremely quiet after Xu He finished speaking.
Suddenly, Emperor Zhizheng smiled: "You are quite confident!"
Qin Yan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Mr. Xu Ge's nephew is really good at both civil and military affairs, especially poetry and articles. Even my veterans have heard of it a lot!"
Xu Song quickly stepped out of the queue and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the younger members of the veteran family are still young and don't know the heights of the world. This makes your Majesty and the chief minister laugh!"
Emperor Zhizheng seemed to have forgotten his original bad mood. He smiled and said to Xu Song: "Maybe it's not arrogance. I won't know in a while?"
After speaking, he said to Xu He: "Raise your head and let me see you!"
Xu He's chrysanthemums tightened. He has thin skin and tender flesh. I heard that there are many scandals in the palace. This person will not fall for his peerless appearance...
Fortunately, he was just overthinking it.
Emperor Zhizheng, an old feudal superstitious man, saw Xu He's face and said to Xu Song: "Your nephew is quite talented in appearance. His Yintang is white and rosy. As I expected, the list of candidates for the examination will be here soon. You This nephew must be on the list!"
This is what you said!
Xu He was overjoyed.
Even if you’re not on the list, you can’t slap yourself in the face even though you’ve been so eloquent. That’s it, that’s it!
Xu Song also realized the gold content of this sentence, and quickly walked to Xu He, pulled him to kneel to the ground together: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your golden words!"
Emperor Zhizheng said it casually, but he didn't expect these two people to climb up along the pole, and he was stunned.
But he quickly realized that he was just a Jinshi...
He smiled and said: "Get up. If you serve the imperial court in the future, you must work hard and don't slack off!"
Xu He quickly replied: "I will obey the holy order."
At this moment, word came from outside the palace that Wu Xingbang and Qiu Teng, the two examiners of the examination, were preparing to present the examination list to His Majesty.
The so-called ministry list is actually a list of people who can take the Chinese examination.
After the examination, the people on the list cannot be called Jinshi.
Jinshi is an academic qualification that can only be obtained after the imperial examination.
At this time, it should be called "Gongju people".
As the name suggests, it is a person who contributes to the emperor.
After a while, Wu Xingbang and Qiu Teng walked into the hall. Xu He, who was standing aside, looked at the man next to his old acquaintance Qiu Teng.
I saw Wu Xingbang, the second assistant of the Wei Dynasty. It must be said that he looked like a good-looking, middle-aged handsome uncle.
Her figure is well maintained, and her appearance is, well, a little worse than mine, but a little taller than Pan An's.
"Your Majesty, the two of us have acted as the chief examiners of the undergraduate examination in accordance with the Holy Order. Today, we have reviewed the papers of all candidates, totaling 13,182 people, and selected 236 people for tribute. The list is at This is only for His Majesty to read and post it outside the gate of the Ministry of Rites to inform the world, to comfort the scholars in serving the country!"
Emperor Zhizheng did not reply and only looked at Wang Ji.
Wang Ji, who had just led Xu He into the palace, immediately understood and took the list from Wu Xingbang and presented it to him.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhizheng had just opened the first page of the book and saw two big characters [Xu He] written under the first name.
Below the name there are his details.
Xu Heguan was directly under the jurisdiction of Hailing County, Yangzhou Prefecture, and had military status. Government students. Treat the Book of Songs. The name is Liangsheng, he is eighteen years old, his great-grandfather Kui, his grandfather Rui, his father Wei, his mother Xie, a kind servant. He is an only son, born without marriage. The first place in the Zhili Township Examination, the first place in the Interpretation Examination!
In ancient times, when filling out a resume, if both parents are alive, write "Ju Qingxia"; if the mother is dead and the father is alive, write "Strictly serve you"; if the father is dead and the mother is alive, write "Kindly serve you"; if both parents are dead, write "Yongganxia". .
In just a few lines, the key information of Xu He's file is basically summarized.
When Emperor Zhizheng saw this, he looked in the direction of Xu He and saw the boy staring at Qiu Teng.
When he thought of the debate this boy had in the Imperial College a few days ago, Emperor Zhengzheng looked at Xu He again with a look of worry in his eyes.
He smiled slightly in his heart and said deliberately: "There are quite a few scholars from Nanzhili among the top fifty!"
When Xu He and Xu Song heard this, their hearts trembled.
The emperor obviously meant this to them.
There are many scholars from Nanzhili, but Xu He's name is not mentioned.
Could it be...
Damn it, did you brag too much just now? What the hell is this bad exam? My article can’t even get into the top fifty?
Shady!
Absolutely shady!
Qiu Teng, this bad old man, is very bad!
