"Since he doesn't obey his elders, he deserves to suffer a little."
The Emperor's tone left no room for doubt.
"You can go to the Ministry of Rites later and ask someone to depose him from his position!"
"Yes! I will go there later, and I will let you know that the Emperor's kindness is still there!"
Dai Quan agreed happily, but he said: "It's just... it's a pity for this kid's talent."
The Supreme Emperor was about to go back and rest when he heard this and said disdainfully:
"Suppressing more than a hundred Japanese pirates is considered a talent? There are no tigers in the south of the Yangtze River. Just catch a group of such monkeys on the border!"
Dai Quan shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this boy not only killed the Japanese pirates, but also won two yuan in a row. He can be regarded as a man with both civil and military skills."
"Oh? Is there anything else?"
The Supreme Emperor was a little surprised when he heard this.
Dai Quan nodded and confirmed: "He was Ying Tianfu Jieyuan before, and he won the first place in the examination this time."
If this were to be deposed directly, I'm afraid it would be too controversial.
He didn't dare to reject the Supreme Emperor directly, so he had to go through a few detours before speaking out.
The Supreme Emperor pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, you can go there after the examination papers are marked."
"this……"
Dai Quan is even more difficult.
This is worse than sending him to the Ministry of Etiquette.
Directly facing Emperor Jingshun!
The Supreme Emperor immediately chuckled and said: "What? Are you afraid of offending Tai Chi Palace?"
"Your Majesty is joking. Others don't know, and this old slave doesn't know that the two saints, father and son, are of the same mind and are doing everything for the sake of Wei. How can they not be offended?"
Dai Quan shook his head quickly.
No matter what the father and son did, no one could say anything about it.
"Yeah?"
The Supreme Emperor snorted coldly.
Dai Quan quickly knelt down and said tremblingly: "The palace examination is a ceremony for recruiting talents after all, old slave..."
Not only did he offend Emperor Jingshun, he was also charged with sabotaging the imperial examination.
Wouldn’t all the scholars in the world tear him apart?
Seeing this, the Supreme Emperor couldn't help but laugh and said: "Is it possible that an old guy like you still cares about your reputation?"
"The old slave's reputation is nothing. The main reason is that I am afraid of ruining His Majesty's reputation!"
"Okay, after all, he is Huiyuan, so there is no need to depose him. When the time comes, you can just ask him to move his ranking back."
The Supreme Emperor waved his hand.
"So let's give some explanations to those families."
Dai Quan relaxed slightly.
Even if a fox pretends to be a tiger, there is a limit.
If so, it's not impossible.
After all, Emperor Jingshun was famous for his filial piety.
…………
Time turned and it was already the first day of April.
The Taiji Palace among the three major palaces contains Taiji Hall, Liangyi Hall, Chengqing Hall and many other palaces.
Among them, Taiji Hall is the largest one, and it is also where Emperor Jingshun usually goes to court to manage government affairs.
Today, Taiji Hall is also the venue for the palace examination.
Feng Yibo stood out among the tributes.
It’s not just about being at the top.
Also because of age.
Zhou Jun was selected as a tribute scholar at the age of thirty-two, and he was already young and promising.
Most of the more than 300 tribute scholars taking the examination on site were between thirty and fifty years old.
For those under thirty, no more than ten people will be allowed.
Under twenty.
There was only Feng Yibo.
What's more, he is still good at it.
From word of mouth, these people all know that Huiyuan in this department is an eighteen-year-old boy.
Now I can tell just by looking at his face that he is the most tender.
Fortunately, it is tender yet thick.
And with his back to everyone's gaze, Feng Yibo really didn't feel anything.
Of course, no matter how socializing the tributes were, no one dared to socialize in the palace.
Even Zhou Jun didn't dare to come over.
After Feng Yibo released the results that day, he and Zhou Jun celebrated briefly.
After a few drinks, we exchanged name cards.
Let’s go through the subsequent process together.
The two are from the same hometown and classmates, and now they are of the same age.
If I didn't get closer, I would be sorry for being so different.
But now, he stood far back.
Feng Yibo stood at the front.
The emperor personally presided over the palace examination, which had a strong sense of ritual that demonstrated the power of God.
All behaviors must strictly abide by the "Palace Examination Etiquette".
One day in advance, Honglu Temple and Guanglu Temple had already arranged the examination rooms.
Early this morning, officials from the Ministry of Rites came to the outside of Taiji Hall with the tributes.
They are arranged on both sides of Danqi, facing north.
Feng Yibo, who was standing at the front at this time, was actually at the door of Tai Chi Hall.
Even if you look up, you can clearly see Emperor Jingshun in the main hall, wearing ordinary clothes and sitting north and south.
At this time, an official from Honglu Temple petitioned for promotion to the palace, and Emperor Jingshun replied:
"Accurate performance".
The tributes, led by officials from the Ministry of Rites, entered the palace to pay homage to Emperor Jingshun.
Then they lined up on both sides and stood in front of the prepared table.
Emperor Jingshun wrote the policy title himself and had his attendants place it on the case.
Feng Yibo glanced at Emperor Jingshun secretly, but he couldn't see anything special.
He is about thirty years old and has a dignified appearance.
If you look carefully, there are still some traces of time management.
The dark circles are heavy.
At this time, the deacons began to distribute the test questions, and the tributes began to answer the papers.
Feng Yibo adjusted his sitting posture and opened the test questions.
I saw the title said:
Ask about the emperor's government and the emperor's heart.
It is not as mysterious and mysterious as many of the "real questions" that Feng Yibo has done.
This topic is very clear.
To put it simply, it is how the emperor should govern and the guiding ideology of governing.
Could it be that Emperor Jingshun was shaken by his governing philosophy?
Feng Yibo didn't have time to think too much. He first wrote on a piece of paper: Establish a solid heart and implement practical policies.
This is the core point of this game.
Next, take a deep breath and start writing quickly.
"Your Majesty:"
Regarding policy issues, if you ask them, they will be answered.
These two words have the same meaning as "Jie:" or "Answer:" in later generations.
"When I hear that the royal way is coming to control the inner world, there must be practical management by the manager... There must be a sincere spirit of advocating for leadership..."
Begin by clarifying the core point.
Just like the three golden chapters, it attracts attention first.
Next, the plot will unfold.
"What does it mean to be solid?... If you implement your policies in a practical manner, then... If you establish a solid heart, then..."
"..."
"If you establish a solid heart first and carry out practical administration, it will not be difficult to achieve the transformation of Yongxi..."
"..."
I finished writing it in one breath and realized that only an hour had passed.
Feng Yibo rubbed his wrist and picked up the pen again after a moment.
Word by word, revise and polish.
As the saying goes:
The examination room is like a battlefield, and holding a pen is like holding a gun.
The palace examination is a decisive battle, a battle that determines life or death.
This exam determines future development, and one cannot be too cautious.
At ten o'clock noon, the court served lunch.
After the meal, Feng Yibo felt that there was nothing he could change.
Only then did I start to use Guange style, writing on the test paper one stroke at a time.
Then calm down and wait for the ink to dry.
During the entire examination, only the deacon patrolled the examination room.
There are no marking officers walking around.
Because, in the palace examination, one’s name must be concealed.
After everything was over, the tributes took their things and went out from the east corner gate of Taiji Palace.
As soon as they came out, there were people sitting on the ground, whispering: "It's over!"
There are also some who sigh or feel unhappy.
More often than not, he looked tired.
After all, it was inevitable to be nervous in front of the emperor.
Most people left in a hurry.
Feng Yibo is no exception.
He said a few words to Zhou Jun,
We made an appointment to look at the list together tomorrow and said goodbye to each other.
