After Xu He came out of the palace and was heading towards the duty house, Yao Chunchen stopped the young eunuch on the way.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Ge said to wait for you outside the palace gate and asked me to come and pick you up!"
When Xu He heard this arrangement, he immediately felt strange.
Xu Song was waiting for him outside the palace when he was staying at home.
In other words, is there anyone in the guard house that he wants to avoid?
Full of questions, Xu He cupped his hands toward Yao Chunchen and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Yao Zhongshu!"
When the little eunuch saw that he was gone, he went back on his own.
After he left, Yao Chunchen cupped his hands to Xu He and said, "Congratulations to Liangsheng Xiandi's high school diploma!"
Did you know everything so quickly?
Xu He smiled and said: "Luckily, Brother Yao is so polite!"
Yao Chunchen said: "From now on, just call me brother Xizai! We don't need to be polite!"
"Brother Xizai!" Xu He quickly raised his hands and saluted solemnly again.
Yao Chunchen lifted him up and then looked around and said: "The list of the first-level examination list was given to Mr. Wu Ge by Zhongshu to copy and sent to the Ministry of Rites. The first place on the list was originally Brother Liangsheng!"
When Xu He heard this, his heart suddenly moved: "Are there any traces of alteration?"
"No!" Yao Chunchen looked around again and said to Xu He: "This is what Mr. Ge has told me. When you go out, help me tell Mr. Ge about this!"
Xu He sighed in his heart, Xu Song is an old Jianghu after all.
Emperor Zheng, a cunning old man...
He had clearly passed the Huiyuan exam early on, but he still wanted to scare himself into taking another round of exams.
I was still stupidly reflecting on whether there were any typos or taboos in my paper.
wipe……
Yao Chunchen sent Xu He to the palace gate and helped Xu He erase his name from the imperial army.
Sure enough, Xu He saw Xu Song's carriage waiting for him before he took two steps out of the palace.
Xu Peng stepped forward and asked with concern: "How are you? Are you okay?"
Xu He shook his head and said with a smile: "What can I do if I just have a meal?"
Xu Peng nodded and helped him into the carriage.
In the carriage, Xu Song was reading a book. When he saw Xu He, he said directly: "Is it you who came first in the examination?"
Xu He nodded.
Xu Song laughed and said, "Let me tell you, there's no way you, a kid, can't do what you say! If you say you're in the top fifty, it's definitely impossible to fall outside the fifty percent range!"
Just enough to talk, neither of them talked in depth.
It's no longer important what the emperor meant. Since Emperor Zheng left such a trick, he was clearly telling the two men of the Xu family that I did it on purpose.
"What did your Majesty ask during the meal?"
When Xu He heard this question, he immediately complained: "I don't know what His Majesty thinks. He asked me if I want to be a military general!"
"Wha, what?" Xu Song looked at Xu He in surprise.
Seeing Xu He nodding in confirmation, Xu Song frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"
"Is it because you have experience in leading troops? No, this dynasty is led by civilians..."
"No, you didn't agree, did you?" Xu Song said decisively, "At worst, the imperial examination is over. If His Majesty asks this again, you will refuse and say that you are not in good health and will take leave to go back to your hometown to rest for a few years!"
Xu He was a little confused and said: "Uncle, is it not that exaggerated? In fact, I think there is nothing wrong with becoming a military general. Besides, it is a certainty that I will be born as a Jinshi. Even if I become a military general, others will not take it seriously. I look like a military commander!"
Xu Song shook his head: "There is nothing wrong with generals, but there is one thing about generals. The most powerful one is Lu Heng! Do you want all future generations to be idle?"
Xu He said with a smile: "If the military general is really as capable as the British Duke, there is nothing wrong with being idle!"
Xu Song stared at Xu He without saying a word.
Seeing this, Xu He quickly smiled and said, "Uncle, don't be angry, I'm just joking!"
"I told Your Majesty that I am not familiar with military matters and I am afraid that I will miss important court affairs!"
Xu Song was still very nervous when he heard this: "What did your Majesty say?"
"He said he would think about it again!"
When Xu Song heard this, not only did he not relax, but he became even more nervous.
In fact, is this not stressful?
The status of military generals in the Wei Dynasty was really too low. If they achieved some achievements in their lifetime, let alone in front of cabinet ministers, even in front of Liubu Hall officials, a second-grade military general would not be able to hold his head high.
The Xu family has endured for many generations, and finally they have a Huiyuan, and there is hope that he will become the number one scholar in the imperial examination.
Are people like this going to be soldiers?
I'm afraid the ancestors of the Xu family might jump out of their graves and whip Xu Song.
Instead of doing this, he might as well let Xu He return to his hometown and stay for a few years. When Emperor Zheng forgets about Xu He, he can then find a way to bring Xu He back.
With Xu He's mind, he may not have been promoted as fast as his contemporaries in the past few years, but Xu Song believed that Xu He was so young and survived the Zheng Emperor, and he would still have a chance to join the cabinet in the future.
"What else did he say?" Xu Song asked.
Well, Xu He smiled secretly in his heart, it seemed that the uncle was really angry.
Just now I was talking about your majesty, but now I have become "him"!
"He also asked me if he could win if he transferred the team training here!"
Xu Song frowned again: "What did you say?"
"I recommended Zhou Bi to him!"
"Is that the one from Huzhou?"
Xu He nodded: "Yes!"
Xu Song said "Yeah", this answer is quite satisfactory!
After Xu Song finished asking what he wanted to know, it was now Xu He's turn to ask.
"Uncle, are you waiting for me outside the palace? Did something happen?"
This kid is so smart. Xu Song smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing. I think Qin Yan is very protective of you in front of His Majesty today. I was afraid that he would have ideas about you, so I deliberately waited outside and asked Yao Chunchen to bring you out. , to save you from meeting him.”
…
The two of them returned to Xu Song's house. Just as they sat down, their uncle Xie Kun walked in without waiting for the announcement.
"What? Huiyuan? Ordained by His Majesty?" Xie Kun punched Xu He on the shoulder in surprise, "Okay, you kid, you didn't embarrass your teacher and me, oh, and your uncle!"
Xu Song closed his eyes and smiled, pretending not to hear.
But what makes Xie Kun even more excited is that Xu He still hopes to become the number one scholar. Of course, his brother-in-law has set conditions.
It’s not a bad thing to have conditions.
This shows that the emperor is still willing to give you the title of No. 1 Scholar, just to see if you have the ability!
"I will go to Hefei personally and I will definitely help you get this number one scholar back!" Upon hearing this, Xie Kun stood up and walked out.
Xu He quickly grabbed his uncle and told him about his recommendation to Zhou Bi.
"Zhou Bi? Are you reliable?"
"Reliable or not, uncle, it's too late for you to go now!"
Xu Song also advised: "Ziyu, do your best and listen to fate! The number one scholar is not important. Anyway, Liangsheng is definitely among the top ten in the top two!"
The top ten in the second class is definitely a good ranking. The starting point is much higher than the starting point behind the second class and the third class Jinshi. Xu Song can accept it!
But we have come this far and have been number one all the way. Who can be willing to miss the mark?
Several people were thinking about the same question at this time, can the coastal defense battalion win this battle?
