After rebirth, I kidnapped the future powerful official

Chapter 321 [Continued] Candidates

Over there, Cui Yunhao had already finished the draft, and began to write his first strokes on the rice paper: I am right, I heard that the emperor is coming to Yuyu Nei, there must be a manager's real government, and then he can restrain the crowd...

Above the golden palace, the emperor is leaning halfway, scanning the scholars below who are answering the questions. Emperor Yongtai is fifty-four this year. Since the day he ascended the throne, he has been in power for 30 years. At this time, his temples have appeared Strands of gray and gray, although old-fashioned, reveal a majesty, especially those eyes, which are so dimmed that people dare not look at them.

Emperor Yongtai seemed to be in a good mood today. He half-closed his eyes and looked at the entire hall. All the officials stood there, not even daring to move the corners of their robes, like clay sculptures and wood sculptures. It's okay for them, they have already gotten used to seeing Tianyan face to face every day.

What was miserable was that the candidates who answered the questions, some of them were nervous, their foreheads were gradually sweating, and when the emperor looked at them, the hand holding the pen trembled a little.

Emperor Yongtai looked at it for a while, and his eyes naturally fell on the row of tables in front of the imperial court. When he saw the second table, his eyebrows twitched, obviously a little surprised, and he called out: "He Yinguang."

"The minister is here."

Someone in the line of officials moved and stood up. He was wearing a vermilion official uniform with white hair and beard. It was He Yinguang who knelt down and saluted.

Emperor Yongtai pointed to the side, and said, "Is there still such a young Juren this year?"

After He Yinguang heard this, he knew it immediately, but he still looked in that direction,
Seeing Cui Yunhao's side face, he lowered his head and wrote the test paper, writing very quickly, as if he had never heard of what happened.

Xu Jiajing cupped his hands and replied: "I haven't read it before. How dare I tell His Highness about this person? It can be said that this person's writing is excellent. The scholars who participated in the palace examination this time can be compared with him. Very few."

He Yinguang's voice was still respectful: "If you go back to the emperor, this person is from Hangzhou, a scholar at the age of 13, and Jie Yuan in Yongtai for 30 years."

It was quiet in the hall, Xu Jiajing raised his eyes from the test paper and moved his eyes to a figure in front of him, it was He Yinguang.

He suddenly realized, looked at Xu Jiajing and said, "What? This is the candidate you mentioned?"

Xu Jiajing replied: "When I was in the Palace of Preserving Harmony today, the emperor asked about a Juren, do you still remember?"

Xu Jiajing sat on the side, watching the officer in charge take out the test papers and distribute them in order according to the official rank of the ministers who read the papers, and soon it was his turn.

Xu Jiajing pondered for a moment, and said: "I saw this person's test papers and articles at the time. His writing was sophisticate, and he often had amazing words. He is a good talent. If he is cultivated well in the future, he will definitely make a lot of achievements, so I strongly recommend it, but congratulations. Ge Lao only took him as Yayuan, saying that he is too young and too conspicuous may be disadvantageous."

The question and answer of the monarch and ministers, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention, and all eyes are turned to the front table.

Xu Jiajing smiled, bowed his hands respectfully, and said: "This matter depends on the emperor's will."

Sitting next to Xu Jiajing was Gan Jiemin. The two had been arguing with each other since last time because of Huiyuan, but now they seem to be in harmony on the surface.

Xu Jiajing replied: "To be honest, I recommended this person as the member of the Huiyuan during the test, but was rejected by Mr. He Ge later."

Cui Yunhao raised his eyes and saw that the man was He Yinguang. He nodded slightly as a sign of courtesy. The two looked at each other for a moment. He Yinguang turned his head and watched the proctor start to collect the papers.

"Yes."

Xu Jiajing also laughed: "It's my fault for keeping the prince waiting for so long."

At this moment, a figure appeared in front of his desk, the hem of a vermilion official robe.

Duan Ce said, "Have you read the papers of his imperial examination?"

"Sit," King Yong raised his hand, and when Xu Jiajing sat down, he asked, "How is it? Have you found a good candidate?"

Duan Ce's eyes still fell on the book, and he said: "Please come in."

King Yong said: "Of course I remember, Father also praised him as a child prodigy, it seems that he is quite young."

He Yinguang just stood there without saying anything, and then walked away. Cui Yunhao silently packed up his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and left the Palace of Preserving Harmony with the scholars.

Cui Yunhao is still writing vigorously, completely free from the influence of the outside world, as if he has been immersed in it.

Duan Ce asked, "What's going on?"

Gan Jiemin spread out the test paper and said with a chuckle: "Master Xu, who do you think is most likely to be selected as the number one scholar today?"

These words were a compliment, and He Yinguang held his breath and replied: "Back to the emperor, there were tens of thousands of scholars in my Great Zhou Dynasty, but there were only a handful of scholars who were able to become scholars at the age of 13, so it was indeed as the emperor said." , this person can be called a child prodigy."

Hearing this, Xu Jiajing hesitated and said, "I'll tell the lord, there is, it's just..."

Duan Ce put down the book in his hand, stood up, walked to the window, looked into the distance, it was already night, and the palace had already turned on the lamps, it looked brightly lit.

Gan Jiemin was bored, so he stopped talking and started to read the test paper.

King Yong immediately turned around and said with a smile, "Jiajing, you are here, and I am looking forward to you."

He Yinguang replied respectfully: "Go back to the emperor, yes."

The palace examination was held for a whole day, and in the evening when the lamps were lit, everyone had to hand in their papers. Cui Yunhao wrote the last stroke on the test paper, and then put down the brush.

Xu Jiajing said: "Yes, but His Highness has also seen the imperial examination today. This person has attracted the attention of the Emperor, and even praised him as a prodigy in public. With the Emperor's character, it is very likely that he will be appointed as the No. scholar. "

In the palace, a young man was sitting by the window, with a book in his hand, he read slowly: "If a husband is sincere, then the way of heaven, if he is sincere, he will understand, and if he is honest, he will understand the way of man... "

"Oh?" Emperor Yongtai was really astonished now, he stared at Cui Yunhao for a few more times, and said, "Then isn't this person a child prodigy?"

On the second day, in the Wenhua Hall, all the ministers who read the papers and the examiners gathered here, preparing to review yesterday's papers.

Duan Ce nodded and said, "I understand what Elder He Ge means."

A sound of footsteps came in from outside the door, followed by Xu Jiajing's voice: "I have seen the prince."

His voice was steady, unhurried, until a maid walked in from the door and saluted: "My lord, Mr. Xu is here."

For example, Emperor Yongtai saw him at a glance and even asked questions in front of the hall, but He Yinguang thought that this was not a good thing for Cui Yunhao.

King Yong saw him like this, and asked again: "Why? What's the problem?"

Xu Jiajing felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Emperor Yongtai seemed to be very interested in this youngest Juren, and continued: "I think he won the Yayuan test this time, if so, then wouldn't he be a scholar at the age of fourteen or fifteen?"

He had carefully read Cui Yunhao's meeting test paper. Cui Yunhao was only 17 years old, which was really young for other people, although the younger he was, the easier it was to attract attention and become famous.

Today's selection of the number one scholar will definitely cause disputes, not to mention others, but Gan Jiemin.

Since he promoted Guan Hanzhen as the club member, he must still quarrel with him this time.

Gan Jiemin is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. According to the habit in the past, he would always recommend the person who was chosen by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Therefore, Xu Jiajing does not have the advantage in this dispute, unless...

He looked at the back in front of him again, sighed inwardly, picked up a pen and drew a dot on the test paper, and then passed it to the next table.
