The eldest son of the red mansion

Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty saw that the etiquette was over, so they came to kowtow to bid farewell to Jiamu. The two of them were going to the Hall of Supreme Harmony ahead to prepare for the banquet tonight.

According to the rules, every New Year's Eve, the royal family will have a big banquet for the guests, and all the civil and military ministers will be recruited to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so that the monarchs and ministers will have fun together.

Knowing that they were busy, Jia Mu didn't keep them, she waved them back, and then all the close members of the Jia family kowtowed and left, leaving only Jia Mu, Jia Baoyu, Jia Ke and a few others in the hall.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Jia Mu saw that Jia Baoyu was about to leave, and she felt a little bit sad, so she turned her head and said to Jia Ke: "Emperor, Baoyu doesn't have a house yet, and it's really lonely to be alone in Rongwang's mansion. Why don't you just leave him to live in the palace for a few days and stay with my old lady."

When Jia Ke heard this, she was a little unhappy. Where is this palace?This is a forbidden area of ​​three feet, Jia Baoyu is such a big man, and his reputation is not very good, he just rolls around in the flowers, and if there is any romantic affair, it will be hard to say.

But looking at Mother Jia's expectant eyes again, he swallowed back the rebuttal that came out of his mouth, and could only nod his head lightly, which was regarded as agreeing to Mother Jia's request.

When Jia's mother heard this, she was overjoyed and said to Jia Baoyu next to her, "Hurry up and thank your elder brother."

Jia Baoyu has been silent since he made a mistake just now, and has not said a word. Now that he heard Jia's mother's order, he lingered in front of Jia Ke and saluted him.

Jia Ke looked Jia Baoyu up and down, nodded and accepted his apology.

Next was the big banquet for the ministers that night, and Jia Ke naturally couldn't be absent.

This time, Jia Ke brought his two sons, King Wu and King Chu, to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and sat in front of the imperial case in the center amidst the congratulations from all civil and military officials, and let the two children sit on both sides of him.

There are procedures for the New Year's Eve banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony every year. If it is a meal, there is really nothing good to eat.

So the ministers of civil and military regard this as an opportunity to connect with each other. As for eating, let's eat their own after returning home.

In this way, after the New Year's Eve banquet, Jia Ke went back to rest. Everything this year was over, and from now until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jia Ke could stand and rest.

Jia Ke once again issued an imperial edict on the first day of the first lunar month. During the three days on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the curfew in the capital was lifted, and the common people could come out to watch the lanterns at night, so that the world could have fun together.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everything returned to calm, and Jia Ke reopened the seal to deal with major national affairs.

And the next major event in the new year is Enke. This is Jia Ke's first imperial examination since he came to the throne, and Jia Ke attaches great importance to it.

This time, Jia Ke appointed Sun Yan, the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department, as the examiner, and his teacher Li Wenbin continued to serve as the deputy examiner.

The news of Enke has spread all over the world, and the disciples from all over the world have gathered in the capital now, and many people have even come before the Chinese New Year.

After Sun Yan served as the chief examiner, he stayed behind closed doors at home, cautious and cautious, afraid of leaving clues to others.

In fact, Sun Yan still has one thing to worry about now, that is, will the young master come this year?

Now Sun Yan hopes that the young master will come quickly, and then be caught by Jia Ke, and he will be able to relax completely by then. Although he has completely surrendered to Jia Ke these years, he is still following Jia Ke's order to make false claims with that young master. , which made him very uncomfortable.

Sure enough, that day Sun Yan was in the study, drinking alone, suddenly there was a crash outside the study, as if something fell to the ground, and then the door of the study was knocked three times.

Sun Yan was clever when he heard the voice, it was the secret signal for the young master to contact him, so Sun Yan had no choice but to stand up and open the door.

The door was still the woman covered in black gold. After she entered the study sideways, she closed the door of the study again, and the two sat down in the study.

Sun Yan was silent for a while before he said, "What are your orders, Young Master?"

The masked woman said with a smile: "Our son has already entered the capital, this time to participate in Enke, the son is bound to win, fortunately you are the chief examiner, then it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Sun Yan raised his eyes and glanced at her, "Do you think I can really be the master? My deputy chief exam was the emperor's teacher back then, and his status is not much lower than mine. If our son's essay is too bad, I can't deal with it." .”

The woman frowned, and then asked, "What about the exam questions? You are the examiner and you should know the exam questions, right?"

"What are you thinking? The emperor didn't discuss this year's exam questions with us at all, and we won't know until the day the exam starts."

The woman thought for a while, and then said: "Young master's article is still good, but I'm afraid there is still a gap compared with those juren. Let's think of a code, when you read this article, you will know that it is the young master." It's gone."

This request is exactly what Sun Yan wanted, "I think it would be better if there are two consecutive "Ruzhi Naihe" in the article. I can tell it is the article of the young master at a glance, so I can deal with the young master at that time."

The woman saw that this method was okay, so she didn't bother anymore, and then disappeared as quietly as when she came.

Sun Yan sat alone in the study, looking at the direction in which the woman disappeared, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Chapter 689 Business Tax (1)

After meeting with the woman, Sun Yan paid more attention, and after the Military Aircraft Department finished handling the matter again, Sun Yan quietly came to Jia Ke's Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Then he told Jia Ke about this matter in detail.

Jia Ke is quite satisfied with this. It seems that Sun Yan has completely trusted himself, and Jia Ke also loves and hates Sun Yan.

Sun Yan is indeed capable. After he served as the chief minister of the Military Aircraft Department, he handled the affairs of the court in an orderly manner, and he smoothed out all kinds of affairs in the world.

But Jia Ke suspected that he was half-hearted. Even if he confessed to Jia Ke to show his loyalty, Jia Ke was also very worried about him. If this young man was wiped out, Jia Ke would be able to use this person by then.

As for why not get rid of him and replace him with someone he can trust, it's not that Jia Ke hasn't thought about it that way, but over the years, after all, he has some feelings, and Jia Ke feels that he is in control and has controlled everything, so Be patient for a while.

The next thing went smoothly, and when the exam started, Sun Yan and Li Wenbin came to Jia Ke to collect the exam papers in person, and then entered Longmen.

Three days later, when the exam was over, all the candidates went out of the dragon gate, and went back to rest without mentioning it.

Sun Yan and the others still couldn't go out of Longmen, they had to review these test papers inside.

Of course, there were so many papers that the two main examiners could not go through them one by one. They had many examiners under their command, and these people had to pick out the best of these papers and send them to the two main examiners.

Sun Yan stayed in his room for a day and a night before he received the paper from below.

Sun Yan took the papers and didn't look at how talented these people were, but just picked them one by one to see if there was the code, but after looking through them, he couldn't find the code.

Sun Yan is frowning a little now, this young man's literary talent really does not seem to be good, and among the hundreds of papers, he does not have one.

In order to be able to complete Jia Ke's task, Sun Yan could only order his officials to bring over all the candidates' papers, and he looked over them one by one.

As a result, I turned over the papers, but I couldn't see the code.

Sun Yan has hesitated until now, what is going on?Could it be that the young master saw the flaw and didn't take part in the imperial examination this time.

After Sun Yan and Li Wenbin hastily determined the ranking of candidates, he left Longmen and went straight to the palace.

When Jia Ke learned what happened from Lisun Yan, she was also a little shocked.

Jia Ke didn't think that the young man hadn't taken the imperial examination, but Jia Ke thought that the young man was too suspicious and he didn't trust anyone anymore.

Jia Ke took a few steps back and forth in the main hall, "Keep quiet after you go back, and continue to wait for the other party to contact you. I think this young man must have taken the imperial examination. If that young man wants to become famous quickly, he must leave. If you don’t fire you, the chief minister, they will naturally reveal the news to you.”

After Sun Yan listened to Jia Ke's instructions, he had no choice but to go back and wait for news.As a result, on the day when the list was released, no one contacted him.

Sun Yan was completely discouraged this time, he could only put his mind on the government again, and he could only temporarily put aside those young masters.

And Jia Ke was alone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, looking back and forth and doing it like this, waiting was not an option, so he called out: "Li Deshan."

Li Deshan has been serving Jia Ke by the side all the time, when Jia Ke told him to step forward immediately to come behind Jia Ke, he asked softly, "Long live Lord calling a servant?"

"You heard what Sun Yan said just now. We can't just wait like this. You send someone to monitor all Gongsheng students under the age of 30 this time. If the young master takes the imperial examination, he must be among these people. .”
