This method of employing people only depends on their ability, and it seems extremely reasonable. In fact, from the overall perspective, or from the perspective of an emperor, there are still many disadvantages.
This really doesn't mean you have to play tricks, but as an emperor, balance is really very important.
Wen and Wu, aristocratic families and poor families, are implicitly opposed to each other. This is not a bad thing for the emperor.
There are only so many resources in the world. Suppress the strong and support the weak. This is what you have to do as a parent.
But now, Shen Zhoujin is no longer in office and has no intention of seeking political power.
Anyway, her apprentice is there, so he can use it if he wants.
She secretly made a hexagram for this purpose, and if the hexagram indicated good luck, then she would be relieved. She had no intention of trying to reconcile the matter.
It was because Lu Zhirui was leading the team, so she remembered that Lu Zhirui was here. She hadn't seen him for two months, and after asking around, she didn't know where he was.
Shen Zhoujin sent someone to look for him, and then told Huo Lingjue: "Actually, it would be quite convenient to have a few people with backgrounds around."
Huo Lingjue said unceremoniously: "I think so too, so you write to Alliance Leader Lu and ask him to select young people who are interested in this, and send a few more, and we will select and keep a few."
Okay, Shen Zhoujin just writes a letter with a pen. There is nothing embarrassing about this kind of mutually beneficial thing.
While writing, she asked: "Tomorrow's imperial examination?"
Huo Lingjue hummed.
The Dasheng Dynasty may have had palace examinations every year, so the time was set relatively late, usually from the first to the fifteenth day of April. For example, this year, it was moved to the fifteenth day of April.
Zhongzhou was so busy this year, which did not delay Huo Lingjue's return to Beijing to take the examination, but neither he nor his senior brother were Huiyuan.
Senior brother is fifth, but Huo Lingjue is third.
But for the palace examination, Emperor Wu Xuan would really participate in the judging in person.
So Shen Zhoujin saw him and his senior brother off during the day, then turned around to find Emperor Wu Xuan.
But Emperor Wu Xuan was going to the palace examination at first, so she was not there, but many officials were waiting there. When they saw her coming, they all handed her over.
Shen Zhoujin exchanged greetings with them, and when he saw Prime Minister Congratulations, he asked him: "Master Prime Minister, do you think it is possible for my senior brother and Xiao Jue to enter the top three?"
He Xiang smiled.
But it was difficult for him to answer this kind of question, so he only smiled and said: "Huo Shizi's writing style is sharp and sharp, and the emperor must like it. Senior Brother Ling, his writing style is mediocre, and other examiners must like it more."
Shen Zhoujin touched his chin and nodded.
Then Wang Xiang asked her: "Did the prince come back specially to take the exam?"
Shen Zhoujin nodded, and Wu Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry next to him smiled and said: "The prince personally sent the exam, how could the emperor bear to disappoint the prince."
"Master Wu is right," Shen Zhoujin said with a smile: "I didn't do anything today, so I just followed the emperor. If the emperor's heart softens a little, then maybe the hundred-level armor will become the third-level armor??"
Several people couldn't help laughing.
Wu Shangshu's words were not meant to be sarcastic.
If I were to be a pure scholar, I might think that I passed the exam based on my ability, so why should I be said to be under the care of the emperor?
Or, if either of them doesn't want to be said afterwards, "Your top three is Shen Zhoujin who came to trouble the emperor," then Shen Zhoujin will definitely not do that.
But in fact, whether the article is good or not is a very subjective matter. Starting from the provincial examination, it is no longer entirely based on the article. There are always some other considerations. What's more, the palace examination is indeed the emperor's selection. The emperor's selection must be There is no need to be shy about choosing the one he likes, but there are very few who do it as "blatantly" as Shen Zhoujin does.
They chatted for a while, and Emperor Wu Xuan came back. As soon as he saw her, he said, "Is something wrong with Jin'er?"
"No," Shen Zhoujin said fluently, "I just miss my grandpa, so I came to see him."
Emperor Wu Xuan chuckled and entered the study, and then a group of people went in together. They were discussing matters. Shen Zhoujin was sitting next to him and did not interrupt. He only snatched Rong Siping's work from time to time, pouring tea for the emperor or something. of.
Of course, the flattery was not in vain. Emperor Wu Xuan finally selected Shen Zhoumian to be the number one scholar, and Huo Ling to be the third overall winner.
In fact, he prefers Huo Lingjue's article.
But as the old saying goes, there are more county magistrates and more consorts, so he deliberately made Huo Ling the third most beautiful woman.
When the Jin Palace passed the news, they directly ordered Huo Lingjue to be placed in the Ministry of Household Affairs as a fifth-rank Yuanwai Lang.
And Shen Zhoumian also became the Imperial Academy's Attendant of the fifth rank. Although they were all promoted exceptionally, the fifth rank was only half a rank different from the fifth rank, but it was a completely different path.
It perfectly met her original requirements. She said at the time that she and Huo Lingjue were running errands outside while her senior brother stayed at the base camp.
Although she has a vested interest and likes the emperor more, she still feels that the emperor's behavior is a bit un-emperor!!
Moreover, Emperor Wu Xuan was very interested this year and asked Liang Xiang to join her, and the four of them watched them parade on horseback.
This year's top three are all very good-looking. Needless to say, senior brother and Huo Ling. The second place is called Qi Jingsheng. He is also very good-looking. The three of them are all white-skinned. They wear red robes and have small hats with wings swaying. One has its own spotlight.
Shen Zhoujin specially sent Little Phoenix away, hiding herself, and took the camera in front to take pictures. On her side, Emperor Wu Xuan chose a good place, high up, with a good view.
Shen Zhoujin was lying on the railing, holding the sound transmission charm and throwing it into the crowd.
She didn't use paper to make the sound transmission talisman. It was just a wave of air in the air, invisible and traceless. Everyone could only hear it. There were voices everywhere saying: "Have you heard? The number one scholar hasn't gotten married yet!"
"The number one winner is the brother of Prince Qin! He's not engaged or married, so he's a golden turtle son-in-law!"
"Don't look at Tanhua, it's useless no matter how beautiful Tanhua is! Tanhua has an owner!!"
"Tanhua has a master! The emperor has proposed marriage to Prince Qin!"
"Ah! I heard that Prince Qin is very fierce. Don't throw the wrong flowers, otherwise Prince Qin will slap your head off and your bones will roll all over the floor."
The three big men at the back: "..."
Emperor Wu Xuan was speechless and happy at the same time: "No one else is needed, Jin'er scolds herself the most!"
Prime Minister He also said: "Your Majesty's method is indeed magical."
"Isn't it amazing?" Shen Zhoujin turned around and threw one into his ear. He Qingran's voice said: "Grandpa."
Prime Minister He turned his head subconsciously, and Emperor Wu Xuan and Prime Minister Wang couldn't help but look sideways. Prime Minister He sighed: "It's really amazing."
Shen Zhoujin turned back early and watched the people below gradually approaching.
Huo Lingjue had heard it a long time ago, with a smile on his lips and his big eyes bent, looking at her from a distance.
A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, in his prime, with a beautiful face and black hair, bright clothes and angry horses, he is really handsome.
But Shen Zhoujin still maintained a clear head and waved to the front: "Brother!! Senior brother!!"
Shen Zhoumian raised his face and smiled at her. When he passed by, Shen Zhoujin called again: "Xiaojue Xiaojue!!"
Huo Lingjue looked at her and smiled, and then Shen Zhoujin raised his hand and threw a large flower basket down. There were two long ribbons hanging on the flower basket, which read "Qin Jinzhi is good" and "Shen Wu Juewen".
