The system forced me to be emperor

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will always be vigilant and careful, so as not to worry you. If the empress and empress really make things difficult for me, I will live in a side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. They just want to deal with me, and it is not convenient for them to do so. "Yan Xiaoxiao said softly.

Xiao Rui sighed, feeling more and more distressed about this girl.

At such a young age, living in the cruel palace, if he is not smart, he will die at any time without a place to die. After all, compared with those old women in the harem, Yan Xiaoxiao has just stepped out of the novice camp.

"Well...how about I get you some poison for self-defense?" Xiao Rui hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice.

Yan Xiaoxiao's eyes widened immediately, and then she understood Xiao Rui's meaning. She hurriedly shook her head and said, "Your Highness, don't worry about me, I will take care of myself. But His Highness is leaving Beijing, is there someone to serve you?"

Xiao Rui was happy, this girl didn't think about her own safety, but cared about herself: "Don't worry about me, there are people who serve you around, besides, going out is for experience, not for fun, people who don't need to be served."

Yan Xiaoxiao bit her lip and nodded. What she actually wanted to ask was whether His Highness would bring a woman with her, but she was really embarrassed to ask.

At this time, the eunuch who was next to His Majesty entered the side hall and said that His Majesty had returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so Xiao Rui entered the hall to see him.

"Come to see me, why?" Emperor Xia asked.

Xiao Rui presented the results of the conviction of the enemy's spies, and said: "Father, all the enemy's spies in the capital have been secretly arrested, and their evidence of collaboration with the enemy has been collected, and their crimes have been convicted according to the law. Please also Emperor Father's review."

Emperor Xia took it, opened it and looked at it.

Then passed it on to Hai Dafu, saying: "It is inconvenient to say anything about this matter, and it will be handled secretly by Dongchang, and it will be handled according to King Xian's wishes."

"Yes!" Hai Dafu respectfully replied.

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "This matter has been done well, so I will let you leave Beijing with confidence. Tomorrow is the day to open the emperor's list. You should also leave Beijing. When are you going to leave?"

"I want to see the elegant demeanor of the top scholar in the Jinke, and I will leave Beijing five days after the palace examination." Xiao Rui laughed.

Emperor Xia nodded and said: "Okay, I will let the cabinet draw up an appointment. You don't have to go to court in the next few days, and prepare for the things you need to do before leaving Beijing."

"I understand." Xiao Rui clapped his hands in response.

Tomorrow, the Tribute Academy will hold a meeting to test the gold list, it must be very lively.

Chapter 275: How does your servant respond to His Majesty's hobby?

On the third day of March, an auspicious day, early in the morning, the gate of the Gongyuan was crowded with candidates for the imperial examination.

Today, the list will be tested, and the candidates on the list will become tributes and enter official careers from then on.According to the imperial examination tradition of the Great Xia Kingdom, as long as one can become a tribute and then go through a formality in the palace examination, one can become a Jinshi.Gongshi will basically not fail the ranking, the palace examination is only to determine the ranking, even if you do not perform well, you can still be ranked with the same background as Jinshi.

When the time came, I saw the yamen servants carrying out the yellow silk pavilion from the tribute courtyard, escorted by drums, guards of honor, and soldiers. Countless people surrounded the guards of honor, not daring to breathe, quietly waiting for the moment when the gold list was posted.

In Xianwang's mansion, Xiao Rui was drinking tea leisurely, while the leopard beside him was fidgeting, his eyes squeezed into a line by the flesh were always looking at the door, his heart was uneasy, which made him feel more nervous than saving a girl who had lost her footing for the first time and excited.

Xiao Rui knocked on the table and asked: "You are so excited, I asked you about the result of the exam, but you forgot all about it when you walked out of the Gongyuan. You memorized the questions for so long, so you were confused on the spot?"

Money Leopard said with a mournful face: "Your Highness, the moment the villain walked out of the tribute courtyard, he forgot all the content he had written. He only remembered that the exam questions were indeed from the test book given by His Highness, and he couldn't remember anything else."

Xiao Rui sighed, if this guy doesn't pass the exam, he is really talented. If you close the book, you open the book and start memorizing the answers a month ago. If you are a normal person, let alone being on the list, you will be able to win. .

"Your Highness, why don't you go to the Gongyuan to have a look at the villain?" Jin Bao asked longingly.

Xiao Rui glared at him and said, "For you, is it that important whether you are on the list or not?"

The leopard was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized.

That's right, is it important to be a Jinshi or not?The purpose of Zhongjinshi is to make the Jin family's business bigger and bigger. Now that I follow His Highness King Xian, why do I have to go far away?As long as you loyally support His Highness, when His Highness becomes the emperor, hey, maybe you can get a high-ranking official, which is more convenient than trying to do it yourself in the official career.

"Your Highness taught me the lesson." Jinbao immediately regained his composure and drank tea leisurely.

Xiao Rui smiled knowingly, now Jinbao is very interested in Xiao Rui, this guy may be a mess in learning, but his business acumen is only inferior to Shen Wansan, the two are a perfect match, and they will definitely be able to move forward on the road of making money.

Talk about two ends, each expressing one branch.

At this time, there was a lot of people in front of the gate of the Gongyuan, and as the gold list was posted little by little, the candidates did not dare to blink, and began to search for their names.

"I! I won! I won!" A middle-aged candidate roared and fainted from excitement.

"Fuck, why doesn't my name appear? I'm clearly a gongshi's talent, am I making a mistake?" a Juren roared.

"Hey, I didn't win again. It seems that I can only go home and inherit a million fortune." A young man said sadly.

.......

In front of the gate of the Gongyuan, there are all kinds of life.

Those on the list are excited and crazy, while those who fail the list are like mourning concubines.

In Prince Xian's mansion, the servants came back in a hurry.

The golden leopard stood up immediately. This person went to see the list, and now he could tell if he won or not.

"How is it? Did Mr. Jin win?" Xiao Rui asked.

The servant said respectfully: "Reporting to Your Highness, Mr. Jin is on the list, ranking 138th! A total of 140 people entered the list this year, which is more than in previous years."

"I won? I won?" Golden Leopard murmured to himself, if he hadn't been in Xianwang Mansion, he would have jumped up and down, and started to burn silver notes to worship ancestors, grandpa, grandpa...

Wait, father and grandpa are not dead yet, so you can't burn money, so hurry up and send the good news home.

After calming down the excitement, Jinbao bowed deeply and said: "Thank you for your kindness, a villain can't repay you, and you will spend all your wealth to repay your kindness."

Xiao Rui is quite satisfied, he likes people who give money as soon as they open their mouths and shut their mouths.

"Who is Huiyuan?" Xiao Rui asked.

The servant said: "It's Mr. Meng Zaikun from the Meng Manor!"

Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, then nodded. He visited Old Master Meng years ago and met Meng Zaikun. Xiao Rui felt that this man was a learned man, and he had the true biography of Old Master Meng. It was not surprising that he would meet in high school.

"Your Highness, this Mr. Meng is Huiyuan, and he has already passed two yuan." The servant added.

Xiao Rui couldn't help but praised: "Two yuan and rank, tsk tsk, it's really amazing. If you win the palace examination, then you will be the three yuan rank, and with the support of the Meng family from a Confucian family, you will definitely be a rising star in the future." .By the way, is Meng Zaikun married yet?"

The servant shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Xiao Rui nodded, let the villain back down, and then said: "It doesn't make sense for me to be married or not, and I don't have a sister?"

The Leopard on the side wants to raise his hand. He has a sister, but after thinking about it, let's forget about it. After all, he is still planning to dedicate his sister to His Highness. His sister is so beautiful, it would be a pity not to dedicate it to His Highness. In the future, when His Highness ascends the throne, I can still be a brother-in-law, but thinking about it now, all the muscles in my body are trembling.

Hurrying to stop the reverie in his heart, Jinbao suddenly found a problem, and asked quickly: "Your Highness, what should I do about the palace examination tomorrow? Although I won the Gongshi, the palace examination is just a ranking, and the villain is definitely born with the Jinshi, but after all, I still have to take the exam." , Your Highness, you know that my talents and learning are sometimes ineffective."

"You can die without bragging?" Xiao Rui glared at him, and then asked, "Are you afraid of being ashamed?"

"The last thing a villain is afraid of is embarrassment!" The leopard responded immediately.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "The palace exam only takes one question, and the examiner designated by His Majesty will mark the papers, and the ten papers that get the most approval will be presented to His Majesty, and His Majesty will appoint the top three, so your papers will be brushed down by the examiners. You should find someone to write a poem in praise of His Majesty right now. You should not flatter your Majesty, but highlight His Majesty's greatness from the side, and then express at the end of the poem that you are emotionally agitated, unable to control your emotions, and your mind is blank, so that your thoughts are completely blank. No, the writing is insane. If you do this, you will definitely be the last one, but it will cover up your shortcomings of lack of knowledge. In every imperial examination, there will be a phenomenon of Gongshi fainting from excitement, so don’t be too nervous.”
