The Xiyao sisters in the palace once again quickly learned the results of the imperial examination. Xiyao rewarded the eunuch who reported the news on the spot with a teacup from the Cizhou Kiln in Hebei. If the eunuch could pass this teacup on to his descendants, it would be equivalent to gaining more than 100,000 yuan.
Ten million in assets. Hey, something seems wrong.
But no matter what was wrong, Xiyao was very happy. Regardless of the fact that she was already more than six months pregnant, she stood up and walked happily, and smiled at Xiyi: "Yang'er has been hit by another crime.
There are two firsts. If you can still get the first one in the court examination, you will get the small three yuan. Although the small three yuan is much easier than the big three yuan, not many people can get it."
Of course Xiyi was also very happy, but her face was not only happy, she also said with a slightly worried look: "Sister, Yang'er is naturally happy that Yang'er is the head of the case, but I'm afraid the ministers in the court will have some objections."
Xiyao asked: "What's the objection?"
Xiyi glanced at her in surprise, 'I can think of things, but my sister can't think of it?'
Xiyao was a little confused by Xiyi's eyes. After thinking for a while, she realized that the ministers might suspect Xue Xiyang of cheating. She was shocked by the good news just now, and her IQ may have been lowered due to pregnancy, so she didn't think of it for a moment.
However, Xiyao has been the concubine and empress for several years. Although she is still cautious about Yunxi, she is no longer the same person as before. She said: "As a person whose status is different from ordinary people, every move he makes is eye-catching.
It arouses the suspicion of people with malicious intentions. Even if Xue Xiyang only ranks in the middle and passes the exam, there will still be people who suspect him of cheating."
"Not only our family, but also the general high-ranking officials of the imperial court, no one cares much about the county examination, government examination, and hospital examination. The provincial examination and the national examination are equally attention-grabbing, and even the slightest omission will be suspected of cheating."
"Now that Xue Xiyang has won the title, it is a good thing, because everyone is arguing about whether he deserves the title, instead of wondering whether he can pass the exam."
"And since you want to do something, you don't have to think about what those mediocre people who are only jealous of others think or say, just have a clear conscience."
"His Majesty has reformed many things since he came to the throne. Have you ever considered what the ministers say? Your Majesty only cares about whether this reform can be implemented, and only cares about the opinions of ministers that can affect the implementation of the reform. He doesn't care at all about those who are nothing but farts and
What did someone who knew nothing about causing trouble say?" Xiyao couldn't help but use a vulgar word in the end.
After listening to Xiyao's words, Xiyi felt that it made sense and nodded. No matter how naive she was, she would not be a novice after so many years in the palace.
"However," Xiyao turned around and said, "Huang Huai will definitely not be able to tell the truth, but I am not sure now whether he is biased towards Yang'er. So," she raised her voice and said, "Zhiyi come in!"
After Zhiyi came in, Xiyao ordered: "Go to the mansion immediately and ask the master to send a gentleman to read all the papers of the mansion examination to see if Yang'er's article is the best."
Zhiyi agreed, bowed and left.
Xiyao said to Xiyi again: "Now just wait for the results. As long as Yang'er's article is indeed the best, don't worry about the rest."
…
…
People who care about Xue Xiyang's path to the imperial examination are not only his family, but also many people. After the county examination, there are many people who come to see the results for these people. During the government examination, there are also such a group of people who come to see the results for others.
After seeing Xue Xiyang's name on the list, I immediately went to report it.
"Oh, Xue Xiyang got the top job in the imperial examination again?" Jin got this news just after he walked out of the palace and went to the history museum to see the progress of compilation of "History of the Yuan Dynasty".
"With two cases in a row, even if Jiangning County and Huanghuai are partial, they don't dare to be so partial. It shows that Xue Xiyang is indeed very powerful. It seems that there is no problem for him to be a scholar. Even if he is promoted, it may not be impossible."
"In this way, maybe I will rely on his help in the future." Xie Jin said to himself.
Xie Jin is now recognized as a great talent, and he also came from the imperial examination, so Xue Xiyang would ask him questions if he met him. Naturally, Xie Jin did not dare to offend him, and answered the questions carefully every time, but in fact, he didn't care much until
I saw that Xue Xiyang's level was quite high today, so I got thinking about it.
"However, he can't pass the Jinshi examination before he reaches the weak crown. He won't be needed for the next few years, but when he comes to the palace in the future, he will have to answer the questions about Puritanism in the palace." Xie Jin finally thought.
Yang Zirong, Jin Shan and others who followed Yunxi on patrol would also think the same, but they had not received the news yet.
…
…
Song Lin said to the servant in front of him: "Master knows, you can go down." Then he immediately said to Liu Zheng beside him: "Xue Xiyang was able to win two cases in a row? Even if it is just the county examination and the government examination, it is incredible.
."
"Could it be that Jiangning County and Huang Huai deliberately favored him?" Liu Zheng was a little skeptical.
"No. I don't recognize the person who presided over the county examination in Jiangning County, so I don't dare to comment at will. But Huang Huai's character is that it is possible that he is a little biased, but he will never deliberately leak the questions. And he also knows that he will definitely do so.
There are many people paying attention to Xue Xiyang’s exams, and they still list him as the top candidate, which shows that Xue Xiyang’s article is indeed the first in the undergraduate program.”
"A scholar will definitely be able to pass the exam, even if he is a civil servant, he may not fail the exam. It seems certain that Xue Xiyang will become a civil servant," Song Lin said.
"I heard that he invited a gentleman to his family? I don't know whether this gentleman is leaning towards our Neo-Confucian school or another school of thought," Liu Zheng said.
"No matter which school of thought he prefers, we must send one of our own to be his teacher. We must let Xue Xiyang accept Neo-Confucianism," Song Lin said.
As early as the news came that Xue Xiyang was going to leave the civil service and become an official, Song Lin paid attention to him. He is the empress's brother and the uncle of the future emperor. He should be an important minister of the court in the future and will definitely have a great influence on the prince.
.
The people of the Neo-Confucian School had realized that Yun Xi did not like the Neo-Confucian School and were very anxious. However, Yun Xi did not seem to be a person who would be easily changed. There was little possibility of persuading Yun Xi to change his mind.
But there is also the Crown Prince. If they can get the Crown Prince to accept the ideas of the Neo-Confucian School, they can "rectify the chaos" in the future and restore the glory of the Neo-Confucian School.
Therefore, they attach great importance to anyone who has an influence on the prince, and strive to develop such people into Neo-Confucianists.
"However, I'm afraid it's not easy to send one of our own people there. Those who have already entered the official position are not young, so it may not be easy to invite them to the capital; nor are the officials in the court. As for those who have some reputation but have failed in the imperial examination, the Xue family may not accept it.
." Liu Zheng said.
After listening to Liu Zheng's words, Song Lin felt that it would not be as smooth as he thought. After a while, he said: "If it doesn't work out, let him pass the exam and enter the Imperial College. We have people in the Imperial College."
