After rebirth, I abducted the future minister

Chapter 322 [Continued] Selected top scorer

Each test paper requires review by all ministers. After one is approved, it will be passed to the next person, which is called the transfer table.

Xu Jiajing continued to look patiently, and soon he saw the familiar handwriting and extremely standard pavilion style.

"Okay." Xu Jiajing's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but gently stroke his palms, attracting the attention of others.

When Gan Jiemin saw it, he smiled and said, "Mr. Xu has seen a good article?"

Xu Jiajing replied with a smile: "Is this a good article? Lord Gan will know as soon as he read it."

Someone next to him heard this and said with a smile: "I have to have such praise from Lord Xu, so I have to take a good look."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiajing laughed, reached out and picked up the brush, drew a circle on the paper, which was the best meaning.

Finally, the chief reading minister checked the paper and took the paper as many circles on the paper. The ranking of first and second grades was also generated.

In the end, as Xu Jiajing expected, Gan Jiemin recommended Guan Hanzhen's paper. Coincidentally, Cui Yunhao and Guan Hanzhen's papers were all nine circles on them!

Xu Jiajing subconsciously looked at Gan Jiemin, and the two of them immediately knew it.

When the eunuch listened, he quickly agreed, turned around and entered the hall. After a while, he came out and pushed open the door for him: "Your Majesty, please come in."

The air in the hall fell silent for a moment. At this moment, He Yinguang suddenly said, "Dismantle the seal first."

He Yinguang nodded, put away all the top ten papers, and prepared to recommend them to Emperor Yongtai, and the emperor would set the final ranking.

After all, if he really argued with Xu Jiajing in front of so many colleagues and ministers, he really had no chance of winning, but it would be different if He Yinguang spoke.

Gan Jiemin was thinking, and heard He Yinguang slowly clicking a paper, saying, "If you want to listen to my opinion, I personally think that this paper is a little better than half a point."

He Yinguang stopped and said to him kindly: "I understand, thank you for your reminder."

The hall was extremely quiet. He Yinguang stood in front of the imperial case, motionless, waiting for Emperor Yongtai to slowly check the test papers. After reading it, he picked up the last three test papers and said, "This is the first one you discussed.

Jinshi?"

This was right, and Gan Jiemin immediately felt relieved when he heard this.

He Yinguang stepped forward, put the test paper in his arms on the table, and said, "Please check it out."

He looked at He Yinguang in surprise and doubt. Guan Hanzhen was the one who pointed out to the first place, and Cui Yunhao was the one who turned to the first place. What do you always think?

Gan Jiemin was upset in this room, and Xu Jiajing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then I will recommend this person as the top scholar when I hear the elder."

All the ministers reading the paper looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a moment.

No one spoke because except Xu Jiajing and Gan Jiemin, everyone else had circles on the test papers, which means that they all agreed with the talents of these two people.

"These two are really destined to be together."

After hearing this, Emperor Yongtai laughed and said, "It's a good word like someone, good!"

"Thank you." He Yinguang walked into the hall. When he passed by the eunuch, the eunuch whispered: "For the matter in the north, the emperor doesn't feel happy today."

Gan Jiemin was confused and did not expect that the other party suddenly turned against him at this time.

At this time, the Minister of Revenue spoke: "Mr. Gan and Mr. Xu seem to have some controversy."

Emperor Yongtai looked at it and suddenly said, "Is this Cui Yunhao the prodigy who passed the scholar at the age of thirteen?"

He said, raised his head, staring at He Yinguang with sharp eyes, and slowly said, "Is it because I praised him in public?"

The names of the two test papers were suddenly revealed, one was Cui Yunhao and the other was Guan Hanzhen.

The eunuch on duty smiled and said, "It's all right. If the emperor is happy, we can do our jobs."

Someone continued: "Yes, it seems that the talents of these two people are really comparable!"

The Minister of Revenue stroked his long beard and smiled, "It seems that these two are just as good as that. This is my blessing for the Great Zhou."

At this moment, He Yinguang walked forward and knelt down: "My minister He Yinguang bowed to the emperor."

He Yinguang nodded and said, "I'll give you a message."

Emperor Yongtai said: "Let's just flat, is the ranking of the palace examination come out?"

He immediately turned to look at He Yinguang, but saw that the other party looked as if he was as calm as a mountain when the wind and rain were still.

Xu Jiajing felt nervous, a little unsure, but it was difficult to stop him. Someone had already taken the scraper and removed the seal.

He Yinguang ordered Guan Hanzhen to be Huiyuan at the beginning. Although he didn't know what Xu Jiajing was doing and asked about the other party's idea, it was obvious that he had a higher chance of winning, after all...

He Yinguang replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the top ten papers are all here."

Everyone understood the meaning of this sentence: OK, now you two start arguing, whoever wins the argument will recommend it.

"Take it to me and see."

Gan Jiemin said in disgrace: "How--"

He Yinguang went to see Emperor Yongtai with the papers in his hand. When the eunuch who was guarding the door saw him, he quickly bowed and smiled, "It's Mr. He Ge here."

Xu Jiajing sighed in his heart, reached out to pick up Cui Yunhao's paper, opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly stopped.

The others also said, "Please recommend the book to the emperor."

Emperor Yongtai picked up the red pen, drew a circle on the paper, and said, "Since Master He Ge said that, then I will call him the top scholar!"

He remembered Duan Ce's words, turned to look at He Yinguang, and said, "Since Master He is the chief, I want to hear what Master He means."

The sound of the piano is quiet and light, and only when He Yinguang approaches can he hear it clearly.

Emperor Yongtai heard this and his anger was not gone, but his tone was still eased, and he said, "It's you here."

Emperor Yongtai flipped the paper and said, "I look at it. He seems to be comparable to Guan Hanzhen. Why did you recommend him as the top scorer?"

He Yinguang lowered his eyes slightly, and replied respectfully: "Reply to the emperor, this is not the case. This talent is indeed in line with Guan Hanzhen. However, please look at the article of this person and be clean,

The calligraphy is excellent, and it is said that the character is like the person. If this person is the top scholar and becomes an official in my Great Zhou in the future, he will probably be as bright and strong as this character."

This is a bit meaningful. If the ministers really speculate on the emperor's preferences and elect the top scholar, they will inevitably be flattering. If the person who recommends it is not favored by the emperor, it will also anger the emperor.

The Sacred Heart is unpredictable.

Someone was surprised and said, "Isn't this the Huiyuan and Yayuan in this exam?"

As he said, clicking on the test paper, Gan Jiemin stood beside him, stretched his neck to look, and there were three words written on the head of the cursor: Cui Yunhao.

So the question arises, these two people are equally matched, who should they recommend?

The hall was very quiet. Emperor Yongtai was sitting behind the table, looking at a booklet in his hand, and there was a palace maid playing the piano next to him.

Emperor Yongtai looked at the book, his brows became tighter and tighter, and a slight anger appeared on his face.

Everyone agreed, and someone said, "Although there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, there is only one top scholar. Who are you all recommended to Your Majesty?"

He threw the booklet on the table and waved his hand. The palace maid immediately retreated with her qin in a tactful way, and the silence in the hall returned to its original hall.

He Yinguang replied respectfully: "If you say back to the emperor, yes."

“That’s right.”

He Yinguang hurriedly bowed down and said, "I am afraid."

Emperor Yongtai drafted the rankings of the nine people behind him one by one and said, "Okay, go and leave them to the Ministry of Rites to fill in the list."

"yes."

He Yinguang stepped forward and picked up the test paper. The first one was indeed Cui Yunhao, the freshly released top scorer in the Jiachen class of Yongtai in the 36th year, followed by the second place, Guan Hanzhen.
