The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

Imperial City, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhao Qi put down his pen and rubbed his head with some difficulty. His energy had declined very badly, and he couldn't hold on after only reviewing the memorial for a while.

Seeing this, Liu Tian quickly stepped forward to help him massage his temples.

After a while, Zhao Qi relaxed a little, and asked, "What time is it?"

"Your Majesty, it's already Xu time." Liu Tian replied.

"Oh? Then the palace exam is over?" Zhao Qi asked.

"Yes, the exam is over. At this moment, all the adults are grading the papers." Liu Tian nodded.

Zhao Qi waved his hand, stopped Liu Tian, ​​and then stood up:

"Go, go and have a look."

Liu Tian nodded quickly, followed Zhao Qi and walked out.

The two went straight all the way to the side hall. In order to avoid disturbing the examination papers, Zhao Qi did not let anyone announce his arrival.

But when he walked to the door of the side hall, he heard a burst of noise coming from the hall.

Zhao Qi was taken aback by the sound, a little confused, so according to the logic, even if there is something to say when marking papers, it should be soft-spoken, how could it be so noisy?

With doubts, he pushed the door open and entered.

The next moment, the scene inside the door made him stunned, and he saw the courtiers who were usually gentle and elegant, but at this time they were blushing for some reason.

Moreover, it was not just two people, but a group of courtiers who quarreled.

He roughly listened to a few words, and only heard words such as "he should be in our punishment department" and "he should be in my household department".

"My dear ministers, why are you arguing!" He asked the crowd.

He thought that his words would stop them, but to his surprise, after his words were spoken, no one paid any attention to them, and they were still arguing endlessly.

"Cough! Ladies and gentlemen!" He coughed and raised his voice.

These words finally awakened everyone, they all knelt down and saluted him: "See Your Majesty!"

"Everyone loves you." Zhao Qi nodded and asked them, "Why are you arguing?"

He was originally an inquiry, but after the words fell, he saw a figure rushing over suddenly, and handed a piece of paper in front of him:
"Please take a look, Your Majesty!"

This caused everyone to follow suit, and immediately the rest of the people gathered around one after another, saying excitedly: "Your Majesty, please take a look!"

He was so excited that he almost pasted the paper on his face.

Seeing this, Zhao Qi couldn't help scolding: "You are all ministers of the imperial court! You are an example of courtiers and scholars in the world! Why is it so disgraceful!"

All the courtiers looked at each other, all showing shame, and they all pleaded guilty to Zhao Qi:
"My humble minister is rude, please punish him!"

Zhao Qi glanced at them and said, "This is not an example."

Several people quickly thanked each other.

"Whatever you want to show me, just present it." Zhao Qi nodded in satisfaction and said.

Meng Yuan quickly gave him the answer sheet in his hand.

Zhao Qiman took it and looked at it nonchalantly. He only glanced at it a few times, and immediately widened his eyes with astonishment on his face:
"This, this, who answered this?"

Meng Yuan quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I didn't see who answered this, it's just this word..."

Zhao Qi was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately realized that there was no one other than Jia Jue who could write such good characters.

"Good! Good! I didn't know that he had such insights in military matters!" Zhao Qi praised with a smile all over his face.

This is indeed what he did not expect, he thought that Jia Jue was only talented in economics, but he did not expect to have such a talent in military affairs.

As expected of the second Duke Rongning!
Just as he was full of praise for Jia Jue, Qian Jun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, quickly presented him the answer sheet in his hand:

"Please take a look, Your Majesty."

Zhao Qi wanted to look at Jia Jue's answer again, but he felt a little upset when he interrupted him like this: "What's the rush? Could it be that your answer sheet is better than Jia Jue's?"

Qian Jun opened his mouth, but was speechless, he could only shake his head and smile wryly.

Zhao Qi glanced at him, and took the answer sheet from his hand, but he only glanced at it, but suddenly became excited:

"Targeting fields! Building bridges! Navigation administration, water conservancy! He even knows these things!"

Qian Jun nodded heavily: "Your Majesty's words are very true, and this humble minister also thinks that he has great talent."

Zhao Qi looked at the answer sheet again, then suddenly raised his head, and then looked at the other people: "Could it be that the answer sheets in your hands are all from Jia Jue?"

"Yes!" Everyone nodded in unison.

"Quick! Bring it to me!" Zhao Qi suddenly became excited.

Several people quickly handed the answer sheets in their hands to Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi picked up the answer sheet, looked at this, and then at that, his eyes were full of excitement, and he couldn't help but drink loudly:
"Okay! It's wonderful! It's so clever! It's really wonderful!"

Everyone looked at him with a smile in their eyes:
Your Majesty, you still say that I am out of face, what about your manners as a king?

As if feeling the smile in their eyes, Zhao Qi coughed lightly, trying to maintain his demeanor:
"My dear dears, you don't need to argue. How Jia Jue arranges me has my own plan. My dear dears, please review the papers quickly."

He now understands what they were arguing about just now. Talents like Jia Jue can make a career no matter where they go, and they can even make great achievements. The force is enormous.

Everyone looked at each other, quickly responded, and continued to review papers.

However, after reading Jia Jue's answer sheet, and then looking at the answer sheet of ordinary scholars, they felt that these answers were extremely naive and superficial.

After all the answer sheets were reviewed, there were not many points that caught their eyes.

But according to the rules, they had to select the top ten and give Zhao Qi the top three. In desperation, they could only choose the other nine relatively good ones and present them to Zhao Qi.

"Your Majesty, this is the top ten answer sheets, please have a look." Xu Chen came to Zhao Qi's side with the answer sheets.

During the time when they were reviewing the answer sheets, Zhao Qi had been flipping through Jia Jue's answer sheets, and the more he read them, the more satisfied he became. He even deduced along the ideas given by Jia Jue to study the feasibility of them.

"Okay, let me take a look." Satisfied, he put down Jia Jue's paper and picked up another paper.

But he only took a few glances, and then frowned deeply. Compared with Jia Jue's answer sheet, this answer sheet was simply unsightly.

He put down the answer sheet in his hand and changed to another one.

But after he took a few glances at this, his frown deepened.

In desperation, he could only change again, but the result was the same.

After changing nine times in a row, his brows never relaxed.

He put down the answer sheet in his hand, pondered for a while, but said something that shocked all the ministers:
"..."
