After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

It was already daybreak, and all departments and offices were busy. Pei Jiaoran followed the official's order as he walked on the corridor, the goldfish bag hanging on his waist swaying slightly. On the way, she met many middle- and low-level officials who saluted her and said hello. She nodded in response.

After walking a stick of incense, we finally arrived at the Political Affairs Hall. Looking at the political hall in front of him, Pei Jiaoran took a deep breath. The girl in scarlet clothes' policy had been sealed by her with the prince's tacit consent. This means that no one can see the content except the examiner.

After gathering his thoughts, Pei Jiaoran stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Li Zuo shouted.

The door opened in response. Pei Jiaoran suddenly took off his boots and stepped into the political hall.

Today, all the ministers from the political affairs hall have not arrived. Only Jia and Cen, the Minister of Libu, and the Minister of Zhongshu have arrived. However, the prince and the privy envoy were both present.

Glancing at the prince, Pei Jiaoran's eyes showed contemplation. Although the three of them have passed Qi, no one can guarantee whether anyone will turn out the exam paper. After all, Jinwu Guard has been established for so many years. Who can guarantee that everything inside is reliable?

Noticing her gaze, the prince raised his lips and smiled.

Immediately understanding the prince's intention, Pei Jiaoran gathered his clothes and sat down. Wait for the other three powerful people to speak.

Jia Gonglu smiled and raised his hand to the prince. After getting permission from the other party, he spoke, "The imperial examination has been completed. Last night, His Royal Highness the prince and the two examiners reviewed the papers all night, and finally finished reading the papers. I invite you all to come today in honor of Your Majesty. It is my will to judge the candidates as soon as possible."

"There are so many talented people this year, it's really hard to do the grading and evaluation." The prince said with a smile, "However, there are still a lot of vulgar people who can only talk empty talk. I and my two dear friends also spent a long time sifting through it. Sift out those filthy things. Mr. Jia, why not read this article first? I fell in love with this person at a single glance."

Following the prince's words, Jia Gonglu looked at the policy document placed on his face and narrowed his eyes.

Today, the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall were supposed to jointly review and approve the verdict, but for some unknown reason, His Majesty changed his mind temporarily. The step of presenting it to the Minister of Internal Affairs is directly combined with the step of presenting it to the Prime Minister. As a result, not all the prime ministers were present, but the Privy Council envoys got involved. Similarly, while the prince is also the examiner, he is also the person who best represents the emperor.

That means the final results of these policies will be given by the Political Affairs Hall. Afterwards, the Zhengshitang would present the results to the imperial court for Emperor Wei to review.

"It is indeed an excellent work." Jia Gonglu said slowly, then turned to look at the prince, "It's no wonder that the prince looks at him differently. I wonder, prince, where do you want to put this person?"

"Although this person is talented, she is too focused on one place. According to her current level, it is not suitable to be placed in Chi County or Ji County. In my opinion, since she is good at water transportation, why not put her in Zhejiang Xi? In this way, she can also use her abilities." After the prince finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Pei Jiaoran with a gentle look on his face. "I remember that Pei Shangshu thought the same thing last night, right?"

He knew that the prince was planning to tie him up with him. Frowning and thinking for a moment, Pei Jiaoran said: "She is a good seedling. Although Chang'an has water transportation, it is never the source. Since she can point out the shortcomings of water transportation, wouldn't it be a waste of her talent to not let her go to a suitable place?"

"It's such a pity. Originally, I still wanted to put this person as the county magistrate in Chi County, but now it seems that I have to give up my love." Jia Gonglu sighed as if he was regretful.

"It's just a loss of one person. Why should my husband do this?" the Privy Councilor Dong beside him said dissatisfiedly.

Privy Councilor Xi immediately took over the words and said with a face, "It's better to judge the papers and grades quickly."

Looking carefully at the two arrogant Privy Councilors, Pei Jiaoran smiled silently. Zhang Rang's choice of these two men was really wonderful. They were arrogant and looked down upon the officials of Nanya. With these two people in front of him, they can block many knives from Nan Ya for him.

And often because of the problem of huge power dividends and benefits, it is often impossible for the same people to appear in the same ecological niche. However, Emperor Wei wanted to find a balance in the Nanya and Northern Divisions, and at the same time wanted to limit Zhang Rang's power, so he established the Eastern and Western Privy Envoys separately. However, he had been with the emperor for many years and was aware of the emperor's subtle thoughts. While slightly expressing the transfer of power, he selected two people who were easy to control but were truly loyal to Emperor Wei.

"This year, many scholars from the three towns of Heshuo have entered the court. These people are also quite talented in literature." The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel said, stroking his beard.

"The scholar Heshuo is able to enter the court, and Pei Shangshu is indispensable." Jia Gonglu nodded, "Isn't anyone going to submit papers in front of Pei Shangshu this year?"

Scholars went to the examination to find wealthy families, and it was not uncommon for the powerful and powerful people of the day to submit papers. Of course, the political aspirations of those who submit papers will determine how many people will submit papers in front of her door.

"No. There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Chang'an City. I have just been back for more than two years. How can I compare with them." Pei Jiaoran sighed, with a look of confusion in his eyes. "There are people coming and going in front of your door, Mr. Jia. How can I compare with them?" In comparison. Don’t mention this to make fun of someone.”

Jia Gonglu looked at Pei Jiaoran with a half-smile, "Pei Shangshu, why should you belittle yourself? Your ability is obvious to all."

"Mr. Jia, we are here to judge. It is meaningless to show off Pei Shangshu's talents. It is more important to let her solve the problems for the court." Cen Xi smiled and changed the subject away from Pei Jiaoran.

It is said that it is a judgment on the papers, but it is nothing more than asking a few people to screen them again and keep those that are suitable for submission to the emperor and whose content can satisfy the Wei Emperor. Of course, the most important thing is to satisfy all parties.

The sifting continued until evening. The final ranking was given. The girl in scarlet clothes was ranked in the second class of Chuanlu by virtue of literature and classics. Although they are not as good as the top three in the first class in terms of ranking, the number of Jinshi candidates has always been only a few dozen, and the second class Chuanlu is also one of the best.

Looking at the ranking list jointly given by the Political Affairs Hall, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Crown Prince. Pei Jiaoran sighed slightly.

As long as a high-ranking family still has the strength to do so, it can influence the results of the imperial examination. If he had met someone other than Wu Changli and didn't know how to adapt, he might have been deposed. Nowadays, the names on the list are still at the top of the list, belonging to people from high-ranking families.

With his thoughts at this point, Pei Jiaoran's lips curled up slightly.

The results of the evaluation have come out, and the Eastern Privy Envoy followed the instructions written by Jia Gonglu. After making a new copy, I put it in a white jade box.

"Your Highness and all of you have been working hard these days. I have to go back to your Majesty, so I won't bother you here. Farewell." The Eastern Privy Envoy was the first to stand up, bow to everyone, and bid farewell to everyone.

After a busy day, I didn't even get a good rest. Looking around, Pei Jiaoran yawned, his eyes showing sleepiness, "I'm really tired, I'll take my leave first."

"Pei Qing has worked hard, go back and rest." The prince said with a smile.

After receiving the prince's teachings, Pei Jiaoran felt as if he had received amnesty. Get dressed, salute, and leave.

"This Pei Shangshu is really..." Jia Gonglu said meaningfully as he looked at everyone.

The prince glanced sideways at him and said, "Thanks for your hard work, please go your separate ways."

"Here."

The first person to go out was Jia Gonglu. He saw that Pei Jiaoran was about to disappear before his eyes, so he called out, "Pei Shangshu, stay."
