The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 542 Before the Ceremony

"Yuanqing, don't blame us for revealing the news to you in advance..."

"Only in this way can you go further and higher, and you will have greater ability to uphold justice!"

Lying on the bed, Huang Yuanqing's mind echoed what Liu Qingshan said to him when he was parting.

At this time, Huang Zhang's voice came from outside the window: "Yuanqing, go to bed early... There is a ceremony tomorrow!"

"I know mother!"

Abandoning distracting thoughts, Huang Yuanqing put the court booklet given by Liu Qingshan under his pillow, and then blew out the lamp to fall asleep.

As time passed, when Huang Yuanqing was sleeping soundly, a knock on the door outside woke him up from his sleep.

"Who?"

"Yuanqing, it's me!"

As soon as he heard the voice, Huang Yuanqing knew who was coming.

So he got up quickly, opened the door after lighting the lamp.

"It's too hard to find your place of residence, and I was interrogated several times by the officials. It's really not easy to meet you!"

While walking into the house, Yu Chengyao kept complaining.

"Brother Chengyao, you are..."

Walking to the bench and sitting down, Yu Chengyao waved to Huang Yuanqing, motioning him to sit beside him, as if he was the master here.

His actions also made Huang Yuanqing more puzzled, not knowing what Yu Chengyao was looking for at night.

After Huang Yuanqing sat down, Yu Chengyao said with a mysterious face: "I have some news for you!"

"what news?"

"Tomorrow His Highness will summon the top six candidates in the final exam to meet them in the Jinshen Hall, and ask questions in court to give them official positions!"

Huang Yuanqing couldn't help being stunned, feeling very surprised in his heart, he didn't understand why Yu Chengyao knew.

The reason why he knew it was because Zhou Chengping, a high-ranking official, made a point, but how did Huang Yuanqing know?

With this question in mind, Huang Yuanqing couldn't help asking: "Brother Chengyao, how did you get this news?"

With such heavy news, Huang Yuanqing only cared about the source of the news, which made Yu Chengyao feel a little strange, but he didn't think much about it.

"Tomorrow's ceremony, Master Xu is naturally clear!"

"My mother is a helper in Xu'an's residence in Dianyizheng. Master Xu knew that I was in Lizheng School, so he mentioned a few words about my meeting!"

In other words, Yu Chengyao was purely lucky.

Huang Yuanqing sighed: "Then this Master Xu is your benefactor!"

Unexpectedly, Yu Chengyao replied: "Master Xu is the original judge of Yuanyang, and he has some friendship with my family, so he will take care of him a little bit!"

In other words, he, Huang Yuanqing, worked so hard to study, in exchange for the news that the head of the mountain and the palace valued later, but it was not worth the nepotism of the leisurely nobles.

Although Yu Chengyao had good intentions, the reality still made Huang Yuanqing feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, he still felt that if he knew it in advance, it would be unfair to others.

Uncomfortable is uncomfortable, but Yu Chengyao came to deliver the news at night, which still moved Huang Yuanqing very much.

He never had any resentment towards Yu Chengyao from the beginning to the end.

Seeing Huang Yuanqing's dull eyes, Yu Chengyao reminded: "Time is running out, you know the news, you must be prepared, and strive for a good performance tomorrow!"

Huang Yuanqing got up solemnly, and said very respectfully: "Brother Chengyao, thank you very much!"

Yu Chengyao stood up and said, "You're welcome, I'm going back first... you rest early, see you tomorrow!"

After all, Yu Chengyao didn't stay any longer, and walked out the door directly. He had to go back to sleep, otherwise he would not be in good spirits tomorrow, which might affect the court couple.

It's already dark, and it's not a good time to go back now, not to mention that Yuanyang is still under curfew at night.

All the way to the alley, Huang Yuanqing solemnly said: "Be careful!"

Yu Chengyao stopped, turned around and said, "Go back, I understand!"

After saying these words, Yu Chengyao disappeared into the night.

After standing there for a while, Huang Yuanqing turned around and returned home.

Although he felt uncomfortable, Yu Chengyao's affection for him still moved him, and even made him a little ashamed.

After he learned the "insider" news, he never thought of sharing it with others.

Of course, it is useless to think about these things at this moment, Huang Yuanqing can only go back to sleep first.

Tomorrow's graduation ceremony, he must ensure that he is full of energy.

…………

Early the next morning, at Huang Zhang's urging, Huang Yuanqing got up and had breakfast.

Before his son left, Mrs. Huang Zhang said: "It's cold today, don't freeze!"

"Mother, son understands!"

On such an important day, there is only such a simple conversation.

The ceremony was held in the School of Political Science, and when Huang Yuanqing arrived, the place was already decorated with lights and festoons.

Now there is still about an hour before the ceremony officially starts, Huang Yuanqing thought that he came early enough, but no more than a dozen students have already arrived.

At this moment, the students present had already put on the blue-gray official uniforms in advance, embroidered with quails representing the ninth-rank official positions.

When Huang Yuanqing arrived, all the old and new students of the school recognized him, so he was introduced into the school, and he had to change into an official uniform first.

…………

Prince Yong's Mansion, inside Feiyuxuan.

Under the busyness of the maids, Zhao Yanxun was putting on his robe.

Lin Jingyu wanted to help, but was rejected by Zhao Yanxun. After all, her belly was already big, and it was inconvenient to do things.

After coming back one day last night, it stands to reason that Zhao Yanxun should rest in Yongfu Palace, but in the end Zhao Yanxun decided to stay here with Lin Jingyu.

After putting on the red tuanlong robe, when Yun'er approached with the Wushayi Shanguan, Zhao Yanxun waved to her and motioned Huo An to take it in his hand.

"Aifei...you are empty here, how about letting Lan Zhi live here?"

Lin Jingyu only lived in the main hall of Feiyuxuan, the side halls on the east and west sides were still empty, that's why Zhao Yanxun asked this question.

During dinner last night, Zhou Lanzhi's status and residence were not determined, after all, reunion last night was the theme.

Sitting aside, Lin Jingyu said calmly: "The prince should discuss this matter with the princess!"

Seeing that she was unwilling to express her opinion, Zhao Yanxun stopped asking.

"Alright..."

After saying that, Zhao Yanxun stepped out of the hall, and Huo An followed immediately holding the hat.

When they arrived at the Jinshen Hall, the two palace chiefs, Shi, were already waiting.

Today is a big event, and Zhao Yanxun has to attend the two long history.

"You two lovers, I kept you waiting for a long time!"

Cheng Wenguang quickly replied: "Your Highness is serious!"

At this moment, they are all standing in front of Jinshen Hall.

"Yesterday in Huiping County, when passing by a village, I happened to encounter villagers practicing fighting against monsters..."

Looking at the two senior historians, Zhao Yanxun said with a smile: "This king personally came to the scene, but it made many people anxious. You two have been officials for many years, so you must understand the thoughts of officials better..."

"You say, why are they in a hurry?"

I thought it was an interesting story, but unexpectedly, such questions were raised, both Zhou Cheng and Zhou Cheng were a little surprised.

As Zhao Yanxun said, neither of them needed to think about why local officials were nervous.

Without waiting for the two ministers to explain, Zhao Yanxun continued: "As long as you do your job well, how can you be nervous?"

"Chang Shisi can't just arrange affairs, but also find ways to supervise, you all have to think of ways!"

"Yes!" The two ministers replied in unison.
