Chapter 216 Palace Examination
Author: Qiye
The version released by King Sheng was so exciting that Empress Dowager Xiang's story quickly became known to the public.
Empress Dowager Xiang and the Xiang family have become a joke in the entire capital, and they are also the targets of scolding by the people.
Natural disasters are never natural to the people. They will believe that those in power have done something wrong and made the gods angry, so the gods are punishing the entire world.
This is also the reason why the emperor would issue an edict to blame himself every time there was a disaster, and at the same time be eager to provide disaster relief.
Now everyone in the Xiang family is staying behind closed doors, and even the people who go out to buy food have been replaced by servants who don't go out on weekdays, otherwise they won't be able to buy food.
King Sheng also succeeded in diverting Queen Mother Xiang's attention from Marquis Wu'an to himself.
That night, Song Huan dealt with the man in black who assassinated King Sheng for the third time.
I've been working overtime like crazy lately, and of course, the pay is pretty decent.
Food, accommodation and warm work clothes are included.
Song Huan touched his slightly bulging purse, which contained the rewards he had received from his recent work.
Because Song Huan found a job, Song Huan asked Fu Yuanzhi and Adi to wait for the imperial examination.
When the rankings were released, both Fu Yuanzhi and Adi were at the top of the rankings, ranking third and fifth respectively.
They finally became tributes!
Those who pass the examination are called "Gongshi".
The first name is "Huiyuan".
Fu Yuanzhi and Adi were considered Gongshi at this time. They had to take part in the imperial examination and determine their ranking before they could be called Jinshi.
On the seventh day of April, the successful Gongshi will go to the palace to take another exam. Only after passing the re-examination can the Gongshi take part in the palace examination presided over by the emperor himself.
While Song Huan lamented that the exam was not easy, she told them to focus on reading and reviewing at home instead of copying books to make money. She had a job, and as long as they didn't go out to socialize, she could still afford it.
The date of the palace examination is April 17th. One month is not long or short.
It is already the second day of April, and she will be able to receive her salary on April 13th. By then, she will have a huge sum of twenty taels!
Song Huan was very happy when she thought of this. Her men moved quickly and their moves were fierce. They were bound to repel the opponent and protect her boss!
The guard armor rescued by Song Huan, "..."
What happened to her?
Suddenly it was like being injected with chicken blood.
Then he turned his head and looked away, unable to bear to see the enemy's embarrassment.
King Sheng looked at Song Huan with satisfaction. Brother Huang was right. This girl is indeed a good girl. She worked so hard!
Go to the study room
Marquis Wu An swept all the folding papers on the table to the ground.
At the same time, he kicked the table over.
"You're lying for asking for help!" Marquis Wu An was so angry that he had murderous intent. It was more troublesome than running an army for him!
When he led his troops to the north for an expedition, the supply of food and grass was insufficient. It was due to the procrastination and greed of these civil servants that many soldiers were killed!
How many families have been destroyed!
How many people will always be buried outside and never be able to return home!
This group of people who only talk the talk not only delay the war, but also use their wealth during disaster relief to collude!
If investigation and handling are not carried out strictly, nothing will be done!
He recalled the battlefield in his mind, and his acquired extreme personality due to his disability was even more aroused. He sent an order with murderous intent, saying: "I ordered the Commander-in-Chief to list the results of the investigation in the past few days one by one.
Don't miss a word! I want Jiang Quandi and other officials to die!"
How dare these people take advantage of natural disasters to enrich themselves under his nose!
OK!
I will tell you to vomit out whatever you eat!
Marquis Wu'an was talented in martial arts, but he was unable to deal with matters that required thinking.
Marquis Wu'an lost his patience and directly asked the Hanlin bachelor to enter the palace. He said what he wanted to express, and directly asked the Hanlin bachelor who had listened to him to write what he said into elegant sentences, and then issued an edict to the scholar who was good at using his brain. King Jing.
The proposed content is:
I will not hesitate to donate millions of dollars in aid to support the poor. If the things that benefit the people are turned into an act that burdens the people, it will only cause unscrupulous officials to use it to enrich the people. It will be of great concern.
It would have been better if this matter had not been discovered. Now that it has been discovered, we should get to the bottom of it and get to the bottom of it.
This matter has been going on for a long time, and all provincial officials, big and small, are guilty of it.
However, it is definitely not possible to use the excuse that there are too many people to punish because the punishment is not enough. Even in the past, there were only a few people who had been promoted to various government offices, so it was not difficult to punish them.
In addition, there is no shortage of talented people at home and abroad, and there is no reason why things cannot be done without such a few people. If we do not strictly investigate and deal with them, nothing will be done.
It is said that King Jing investigated this matter carefully, how he cheated, how he cheated, and how he cheated and bribed various people.
King Jing received the edict and immediately sent people to verify it.
"An Ren, you send people to search for clues, and they must be done well!"
King Jing had been worried about food and grass in Liaodong before. If it weren't for some officials who helped support him, he might not have been able to come back safely, and there were all the heroic souls who could no longer come back.
After King Jing's experience, he became even more disgusted with this kind of thing of taking advantage of others to enrich himself.
On this matter, King Jing rarely stood on a united front with Marquis Wu An.
…
Since Marquis Wu'an decided to chop off the heads of a group of officials, he had to find candidates in the palace examination who would agree with him and work hard to do practical things.
The palace examination only tests policy topics.
There is only one day and the paper will be handed in at noon.
In order to prevent any violation of the rules, Song Huan did not dare to let them drink more water in the morning. Then the invigilator would watch the candidates who frequently went to the toilet, which was too shameful.
Moreover, in such a majestic and solemn hall, you probably won’t be prepared, and you have to rely on just one word, hold it in.
There is another top priority.
Don't eat food with strong flavor.
If the "perverse" Marquis Wu An goes on inspection on a whim, and is very lucky to say a word to you and smell something in your mouth, wouldn't that cost a lot of impression points?
This kind of detail still needs to be taken into consideration!
Although she couldn't help with answering the questions, she could still help with other small details.
Of course, on the day of the re-examination, the officials also had to teach the emperor the etiquette of meeting the emperor. Although he is young, the little emperor will still appear in order to look good in the palace examination. The procedures must be followed.
After Song Huan heard Fu Yuanzhi's report, he also put his own thoughts together and tried his best to prevent the two of them from losing points in front of the emperor and Marquis Wu'an.
After Song Huan saw Fu Yuanzhi and his brother enter the palace, he rushed to work without stopping.
Outside the palace gate, Fu Yuanzhi and Adi, together with the other tributes who had been admitted, began to enter the palace under the guidance of the eunuch.
After everyone went through a series of etiquettes such as roll call and salutes, they finally arrived at their own writing desks to prepare for the exam.
The tributes could not look up. If they could look, they would see their little emperor sucking his thumb in such a tense and solemn atmosphere.
The eyes are shining, as if to say: (⊙o⊙)Wow! So many people!
Although he was constantly interrupted from his thoughts and corrected by the little father-in-law next to him, the little emperor was not discouraged and had a good temper. He did not cry because of the eunuch's actions. Instead, he thought that the eunuch was playing with him.
Marquis Wu An on the side looked away.
He hates children the most!
Marquis Wu An looked at the examinees below who were already answering questions. They were seated according to their rankings. Of course, Marquis Wu An's eyes were attracted by the good-looking examinees.
It would be good if all the people in the court were young people, which would be much better than those old-fashioned old ministers who always contradict him.
Not only does it sound devilish, but it also hurts your eyes.
The entire palace was very quiet, except for the occasional sound of children's breathing and laughter.
