At night, Jia Huan had insomnia again, and Qingwen also had insomnia.
When Jia Huan got up the next day, he had big panda eyes.
He exercised as usual, then washed and ate. After eating, he moved for a while and started reading.
If you know Yuan in the provincial examination, you have passed the first level of the imperial examination. As long as you pass the first level of the general examination next year, the entire imperial examination will be over.
As for the final palace examination, you will only be ranked, not failed.
Therefore, if everything goes well, he can study hard for another five or six months at most, and then he can completely get rid of the exam.
Therefore, on the second day after the Luming Banquet, Jia Huan began to study hard again.
Not long after, Qingwen came in in a panic and reported: "Third Master, it's not good, it's not good, there is a father-in-law outside looking for you."
Is there a father-in-law looking for me? Could it be Xia Shouzhong?
In confusion, Jia Huan came out to meet the guests and found that the visitor was not Xia Shouzhong, but Dai Quan.
Jia Huan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
It would be fine if it was Xia Shouzhong who came to see him. Most likely he came for the perfume.
But Dai Quanlai was different.
He has no official position, so Dai Quan has no reason to come to him, unless it is, unless yesterday's incident comes to light.
Jia Huan came out and saluted Dai Quan and said, "I have met Eunuch Dai. I wonder what Eunuch Dai's instructions are to his students?"
Dai Quan glanced at Jia Huan and said with a smile, "Your Majesty has summoned Jia Jieyuan. Can Jia Jieyuan please come with us?"
I go! Sure enough, I guessed it right. What happened yesterday really came to light.
Jia Huan took a deep breath. He still hadn't given up. He couldn't help but asked cautiously: "Eunuch Dai, I wonder why your Majesty summoned the students?"
Dai Quan glanced at Jia Huan and asked with a half-smile: "Your Majesty's holy will, how dare our family make wild guesses? Jia Jieyuan, don't keep the emperor waiting, let's leave quickly."
Jia Huan nodded and said, "Eunuch Dai, please allow the student to change his clothes."
After changing his clothes, Jia Huan followed Dai Quan on the carriage.
Once on the carriage, Jia Huan calmed down.
Since Emperor Chongkang asked Dai Quan to take me to the audience instead of ordering the Jinyi Guards to arrest me, he probably never thought of arresting me for questioning.
However, jail time can be avoided, and a reprimand is indispensable.
Jia Huan was thinking about countermeasures in his mind.
On the carriage, Dai Quan was watching Jia Huan coldly.
When he saw that at this moment, Jia Huan could actually calm down and think, he couldn't help but secretly praise him.
He is indeed a talented person that Your Majesty admires. His character alone is extremely remarkable.
Thinking of this, Dai Quan couldn't help but smile and said: "Jia Jieyuan, after His Majesty heard what happened at the Luming Banquet yesterday, he was very angry. At that time, he wanted to arrest you and send you to prison."
Hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but feel scared.
Then Dai Quan continued: "Fortunately, the Queen persuaded me to stop, so Your Majesty summoned you here today."
"In my opinion, Your Majesty still appreciates Jia Jieyuan's talent very much. As long as Jia Jieyuan is sincere in admitting his mistakes, Your Majesty will not make things difficult for Jia Jieyuan."
Dai Quan's words made Jia Huan's heart move.
Dai Quan was the most trusted eunuch around Emperor Chongkang. It was said that even though he was a white man without any official position, he had to be polite in front of Dai Quan even if he was a minister.
But for a cunning person like Dai Quan, there is no need to tell him so much when faced with a young man like himself.
But he just said it today and reminded himself so much at once.
This can only show that he is extremely optimistic about himself.
No! Just being optimistic about himself would not allow him to do this.
This can only mean that Master Zhao will be reused!
Thinking of this, Jia Huan felt relieved.
He couldn't help but said to Dai Quan: "Thank you very much, Eunuch Dai, for your advice. The students will always remember Eunuch Dai's kindness."
Seeing that Jia Huan was very knowledgeable, Dai Quan also nodded slightly.
Not long after, Jia Huan was introduced into the palace.
After entering the palace, Jia Huan looked around, and then he felt a familiar feeling.
Because of this place, he has been here.
Of course, what he visited was the Forbidden City of later generations, not the imperial palace of this era.
Although there are considerable differences between the two, the general layout of the palace is the same.
When Jia Huan wanted to take a closer look, Dai Quan beside him whispered: "Lower your head and ask Jia Jieyuan not to look around."
Jia Huan nodded and said, "Yes."
Not long after, Jia Huan was taken to the imperial study room.
"Notice to the Emperor that Jia Jieyuan has arrived."
A middle-aged man's voice came from inside: "Let him come in."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Dai Quan said in a low voice: "Let's go in with our family and pay homage to His Majesty. Remember, don't look around and don't raise your head after entering. After entering, pay tribute to the Emperor."
Jia Huan nodded and said, "Yes, Eunuch Dai, I have written it down."
Jia Huan lowered his head and followed Dai Quan into the imperial study. After walking a few steps, he saw Dai Quan stop, and Jia Huan also stopped.
Dai Quan whispered: "Why don't you kneel down and worship Your Majesty?"
Jia Huan quickly knelt down and worshiped: "Students, long live my emperor, long live him."
Next, it’s time to worship Emperor Kang and talk about his life.
However, Jia Huan did not hear the sound, and Emperor Chongkang seemed to be deliberately ignoring him.
After a while, Jia Huan became impatient with the waiting and couldn't help but want to raise his head and watch secretly.
Finally I heard Emperor Chongkang say: "Get straight."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jia Huan got up from the ground and couldn't help but look at Emperor Chongkang angrily.
Jia Huan discovered that Emperor Chongkang was only middle-aged, but his temples were already gray and his face looked old.
At this time, Emperor Chongkang was also looking at Jia Huan, a thirteen-year-old talented young man with a brilliant poetic talent.
Ever since this little guy wrote those three poems and said four sentences of Jia last year, Emperor Chongkang had been paying attention to him.
However, he didn't take it to heart at that time. Until Jia Huan won four yuan in a row, Emperor Chongkang actually didn't appreciate Jia Huan too much.
The current Jia Huan is just a Jie Yuan, so what if he is the number one scholar? One can be produced in three years.
However, can each of the previous top picks eventually become a pillar of the country? not really.
It was just a little guy who scored four yuan in a row. Although it was amazing to the emperor, it was nothing more than that.
However, Fan Zhongyu's comment that he worked hard to repay his teacher's kindness and that Jia Sheng's promise was worth a thousand pieces of gold made Emperor Chongkang look at Jia Huan in a different light.
The emperor may not like this kind of minister who attaches great importance to affection and justice, and promises a lot of money, but he is indispensable in the court.
This little guy may be able to break the situation.
Then he thought that the Jia family actually expelled this little guy from the house, and Emperor Chongkang couldn't help but reveal a playful smile on his face.
However, only then did Emperor Chongkang realize that at this moment, this little guy was still staring at him, as if he was not afraid at all.
I have to say, this little guy is really brave!
