Seeing that the officials were still angry, Cao Yuyan was wise enough to say nothing.
Zhao Zhen was not happy: "Since the queen is a military general, she doesn't have any opinions on this matter?"
"Guan family, this is government affairs!"
Zhao Zhen snorted: "Queen, you have been in the palace for ten years and you have always followed the rules. You are truly my good queen."
Cao Yuyan was poked hard.
A feeling of grievance rushed straight into his chest: "Yes, if the officials feel that I, the queen, am incompetent, they can go to Zhang Meiren, but she has a lively personality and dares to speak out about government affairs."
Zhao Zhen came here to relax, but now that Empress Cao said this, he stood up directly: "Okay, what the empress said is true, you are just not as lively as Mrs. Zhang."
Cao Yuyan watched the officials throw away their sleeves.
Only when the footsteps of the officials were far away did I dare to shed tears.
After talking about military generals, but since becoming the queen, she is no longer Cao Yuyan, she is just Queen Cao.
The queen of this world.
When Zhao Zhen came out of Qingshou Palace, he was originally going to Zhang Meiren's bedroom, but he turned back and went to Funing Palace halfway.
Zhao Zhen sat on the chair, thinking about every detail of the relationship between the two of them during the ten years since the queen had been in the palace.
It is true that at the beginning, because she was the daughter of the Cao family, he was very wary of her. I believe that neither his grandfather nor his father, nor the descendants of military generals, nor the descendants of the Cao family who had contributed to the founding of the country, would be wary of her. like.
However, in the subsequent interactions with her, he still had some changes in his view of the queen.
How many men don’t like a wise woman?
It's just that the palace was already dull, and the queen didn't allow him to make any mistakes. He wanted to say some thoughtful words to her, but he couldn't continue.
On the second day, Zhao Zhen agreed to let Kong Chong's son Kong Yue lead troops to quell the Yao uprising.
After discussing the uprising, they started talking about the provincial examination that was about to start.
The examiners for provincial examinations are all appointed temporarily to prevent the examiners from engaging in malpractice for personal gain.
The courtiers were fiercely arguing over who would be the examiner this time, and they refused to give in. Finally, the officials decided that Fan Chongyan would be the chief examiner and Ouyang Xiu would be the deputy examiner.
Fan Chongyan sounds familiar, and Ouyang Xiu sounds familiar, right?
Yes, he wrote the article "The Drunkard's Pavilion" which has been passed down through the ages.
However, at this time, Ouyang Xiu had not yet been demoted, so "The Drunkard's Pavilion" had not yet been produced.
Speaking of Ouyang Xiu, he was born in the eighth year of his life, that is, in 1030 AD, and was a Jinshi. He ranked fourteenth in the first class. At that time, Ouyang Xiu's examiner was Yan Shu.
Does it sound familiar again?
Yes, this Yan Shu is the one who wrote the catchy "Die Lian Hua" and is known as the graceful poet.
Although Ouyang Xiu did not win the first prize in high school, he had great literary talent. According to Yan Shu's later recollection of Ouyang Xiu, he said that the reason why he failed to win the first prize at that time was mainly because he was young and energetic, and his sharpness was too exposed, and several examiners deliberately dampened his enthusiasm.
Ouyang Xiu, who passed the imperial examination, was the first to serve as a general official, a probation secretary and a provincial school secretary, and as a stay-at-home promotion officer in Xijing.
At that time in the Northern Song Dynasty, the custom of "selecting a son-in-law from the list of candidates" was popular. Ouyang Xiu, who was in high school, was chosen as his son-in-law by his mentor Xu Yan on the spot, and he married his beloved wife the following year.
It can be said that in response to that sentence, when the gold list was named, the wedding night ushered in the night of flowers and candles.
In the first year of Jingyou, that is, 1034 AD, Ouyang Xiu was called to take the bachelor's degree examination, was awarded the title of Xuandelang, and participated in the compilation of "Chongwen General Catalog".
Later, he joined forces with Ouyang Xiu to call for reform, but this time the reform met with great resistance. Fan Chongyan was demoted to Raozhou (today's Poyang County, Shangrao). Ouyang Xiu, as a member of Fan Chongyan's faction, could not escape and was demoted to Yiling (today's Hubei Province). Yichang) County Magistrate.
In the first year of Kangding (AD 1040), Ouyang Xiu was recalled to Beijing and resumed his duties as collation of the pavilions and pavilions. He continued to compile the "General Catalog of Chongwen" and was later ordered to inform the Admonition Academy.
Although his official position is not high, he dares to speak!
The court at that time needed his sharp mouth.
Last year, he took up the post of Youzhengyan and Zhizhigao, that is, he was responsible for drafting the imperial edict. In September last year, Fan Chongyan, Han Qi, Fu Bi and others began to implement the New Deal.
This upright Ouyang Xiu once again participated in the revolution and became an effective leader of the revolution.
Under this momentum, Ouyang Xiu was appointed as this year's deputy examiner.
Zhao Zhen's decision naturally encountered opposition, especially from Kong Chong: "Your Majesty, there are still many senior ministers in the court. No matter how hard it is, it will not be Lord Fan's turn..."
"Kong Qing, the court needs fresh blood. They are thinking ahead and may be able to select some different talents."
"Can!"
Zhao Zhen was originally angry with Empress Cao yesterday and had not yet spoken out. He did not want to give Kong Chong face: "Okay, this matter has been settled."
The appointment was made, and after the two went to court, they went to Gongyuan. They were not allowed to leave Gongyuan until the end of the provincial examination. This move was called "locking the courtyard" to prevent the examiner and candidates from cheating.
The day before Gu Qingjue was to pay tribute to the Court, he finally received a letter from Su Yixin after a year and a half.
This was really better than when he was in junior high school, and it made him extremely happy.
Yixin said in the letter that she went to Geyun Canyon to practice, but not long after she went there, she was trapped in the formation and could not receive information from the outside world. Just a few days ago, she just broke out of the formation.
However, this experience does not end there. They will soon fly to an unknown island to continue their experience.
Although they couldn't be separated immediately, Gu Qingjue was still very satisfied to receive Yixin's letter before the provincial examination.
Considering that the unknown island was dangerous and contained a large number of monsters, which was not suitable for Kestrel to visit, she stopped writing letters until Su Yixin took the initiative to contact her.
The number of provincial examinations over the years has been variable. Sometimes there were thirty examinations, some fifteen examinations, and some seven examinations. This year, Fan Chongyan took the exam. He also reformed the scientific examination and set it to three examinations. There were only three examinations in total. It only takes three days.
Examination content: first test policy, second test argument, and then test poetry.
Gu Qingjue is confident in his talent, but it would be false to say that he is not nervous at all.
It's just that others can't see it.
He came to Kyoto for the first time and didn't know many acquaintances here. However, Bai Yuannian and his wife knew that Gu Qingjue was participating in this year's provincial examination, so they came to see him off when they were at the Tribute Academy.
Standing next to him was Bai Shiqian, who also took the provincial examination.
Originally, Bai Shiqian was supposed to return to Jiangning Prefecture to take the provincial examination like Gu Qingjue.
But last year, Bai Yuannian and his wife used their connections to transfer their household registration to Kyoto. Therefore, they took the examination in Kaifeng Prefecture and their rankings were not bad.
Luo Shi prepared two portions of food and clothing and handed them to Gu Qingjue and Bai Shiqian.
"Thank you uncle and aunt."
Luo Shi said: "Yixin is not here, so you should just call me aunt. Isn't it right to prepare for these things? Take the exam well, I believe you will get a good rank!"
Just kidding, Jieyuan of Jiangning Prefecture.
No matter what, you have to get a Jinshi.
The update is completed today, typos will be corrected in the afternoon, okay!
