Xiao Jining didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, so he almost laughed out loud. He cleared his throat so that he didn't let the smile in his tone of voice, and said: "Everyone sit down."

Xiao Jining's voice is soft and clear, even if he is an adult, he is not as deep as Jing Yuan, or as bright or thick as the Seventh and Eighth Princes, but as soft as a teenager, in other words, he is very recognizable, It is also too inconsistent with his status as an emperor.

So Xiao Jining usually speaks to show his majesty, but sometimes he can still speak with a deep voice.

But that day when he talked to Wen Yu in Yipin Building, he didn't deliberately change his voice, so today, in order to let Wen Yu hear his familiar voice, Xiao Jining didn't speak with his voice down.

Therefore, after his words fell, Xiao Jining found that among the examinees below, a few with weak minds were already stunned, wanting to secretly see the appearance of the emperor, but thinking that besides the emperor, there were Xie Xianghe The two ministers, as well as the many palace servants serving here, if they behaved in front of the palace, they might suffer the wrath of the emperor, so they did not dare to raise their heads.

There is only one wonderful flower in it.

That was Wen Yu who had talked with Xiao Jining once in Yipinlou.

After the Yipinlou farewell, to be honest Wen Yu didn't take Xiao Jining very seriously. He and Xiao Jining did get along pretty well. He also felt that Xiao Jining was a sincere and innocent person, and he could be a close friend. It's just that... he It is related to Jingyuan.

Counting carefully, it was because of Jing Yuan that Wen Yu noticed Xiao Jining that day.

Just like what he and Xiao Jining said, he had met Jing Yuan in Xiang's mansion, so he understood what kind of arrogant Jing Yuan was, and this kind of person actually had someone else in his eyes for the first time.

When Jing Yuan looked towards him at first, he thought he was looking at him, but after looking carefully, he realized that Jing Yuan was another young man in front of him.

Wen Yu watched carefully. Although Jing Yuan's gaze towards Xiao Jining in the first-grade building was warm, it did not contain a trace of sharpness. It was as if he could only see this young man in his eyes. His face was still the same, without a smile on his face. , but there is a smile in his eyes.

He had seen Jing Yuan with a smile on his lips, but he had never seen this person with a smile in his eyes.

Therefore, in an instant, Wen Yu understood that the identity of the young man standing in front of him must be unusual for Jing Yuan, so he took the opportunity to talk to Xiao Jining.

After chatting for a few words, Wen Yu confirmed what he thought in his heart - this young man was probably Jingyuan's child molester, maybe he wasn't a child molester, it might be more accurate to call him a lover.

After all, Xiao Jining seems to have a wealthy family and is so ignorant of world affairs. Facing Jing Yuan, whom everyone in the capital respects and fears, he does not see awe, fear, and only defense in his words, which is enough to prove that he must also like Jing Yuan.

As for the fact that Jingyuan would like a man, Wen Yu didn't find it strange. He had never seen a man whose family background was as valuable as Jingyuan's. He was almost 26 and still unmarried. Guo Jingyuan had any ambiguity with any woman, it must be because of the habit of breaking sleeves.

He couldn't have a deep friendship with Xiao Jining, not because he didn't like Jingyuan and didn't have a good impression of Jingyuan, but because he felt that a person with Jingyuan's temperament, once emotional, must have a very small heart, and he can't rub a grain of sand in his eyes. Wen Yu was afraid that if he negotiated too deeply with Xiao Jining, Jing Yuan would think that he wanted to do something to his little molester, and that would be troublesome.

As a result, what did he hear now, he seemed to hear the voice of that little molester?

Because he was too shocked, Wen Yu didn't even think about his teacher Xie Xiang sitting not far in front of him, and he didn't care about the taboo of not raising his eyes to look directly at Sheng Yan, so he subconsciously raised his head and looked at Xiao Jining go.

And who is that young man who sits high on the emperor's throne and wears a bright golden dragon robe, the young master Qi who talked happily with him in Yipinlou that day?And the handsome attendant who followed him that day was the steward of the eunuch seat in front of the palace.

Mr. Qi, Mr. Qi, Emperor Yun Chu's surname is Xiao, from the generation of "Ji", and all the princes today are also from this generation. If "Ji" removes the word "雨", isn't it just the character "Qi"?It's also because Xi Shu stood beside Xiao Jining and never said a word. If Xi Shu made a sound, would he not be able to hear the difference between the voice of an ordinary man and that of an ordinary man?

Wen Yu's movement of raising his head was sudden and sudden. Among the ten candidates in the palace examination, he was the only one who raised his head. After standing for a while before sitting down in a daze, everyone in the Xuanzheng Hall noticed him—including Xiang Xie, whom he tried to avoid.

Old Prime Minister Xie lost a big daughter after the incident with the former prince, and his hair turned gray overnight, but his loyal ministers remained loyal, and he was still diligent and diligent for the great Xiao Jiangshan, but from now on he only guarded his other The children live in peace of mind, calm as chrysanthemums on weekdays, with a breeze in their sleeves.

The only little selfishness I have is that I am worried that my beloved apprentice will enter the court at this moment when the situation is changing, and will be hated by those who want to, and it will be difficult to retreat in the future.

In the end, Xie Xiang took all precautions, but he still couldn't prevent Wen Yu from entering the palace test.

"Wen..." As soon as Xie Xiang saw Wen Yu, his eyes widened, and he almost lost his dignity in front of the palace and called out Wen Yu's name.After taking a few deep breaths, Prime Minister Xie stabilized his mind, but the old prime minister's worry could still be seen from his tightly knit brows.

When Prime Minister Xie calmed down a bit, he understood—the Ministry of Rites has always been in charge of imperial examinations, and the Minister of Rites is Chen Yu, his former student, who is also one of the invigilators today. , as long as he begs Chen Yu in private, Chen Yu will definitely help him.

As long as Wen Yu successfully entered the Xuanzheng Palace, unless he did not answer the questions well and the emperor looked down on him as a student, Wen Yu would not be able to enter the top three—but didn't his student, Mr. Xie, understand?

Don't say that you won't be able to enter the top three, I'm afraid Wen Yu is firmly in the lead.

Now that the overall situation has been settled, Mr. Xie has no other choice but to close his eyes, shake his head and sigh slightly.

Wen Yu was no more calm than Xie Xiang. Xiao Jining's real identity shocked him, because he had guessed that Xiao Jining was Jingyuan's molester, but Xiao Jining was not a molester, but the Emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. Then he and The relationship between Jingyuan is worth thinking about.

'

Xiao Ji Ning sat firmly in the high position, and after seeing how the two masters and apprentices changed their faces, he raised his eyebrows and told the examinees the topic he had thought up before——Theory of Military History.

Once this topic was announced, it was not the examinees who were most surprised, but Xie Xiang and the other two ministers.

Xie Xiang couldn't help looking sideways at Xiao Jining: "Your Majesty, this topic..."

Xiao Jining asked him: "Mr. Xie, is there anything wrong with this question?"

Not right, very wrong.

Soldiers are a matter for generals.

Today's selection is civil servants, but Xiao Jining asked a question related to soldiers.

This question is particularly difficult to answer, why?

Who dominates Manchuria?It's the Jing family with heavy troops in their hands.

Now that the new emperor is enthroned, there is no deterrence in Beijing. His imperial decree is not as awesome as a sentence from the Jing family. Since ancient times, emperors have never allowed military power to overwhelm the power of the emperor.

The Jing family was already powerful when Emperor Yun Hong was in power, and it reached its peak when it came to Emperor Yun Chu Xiao Jining.Therefore, some people in Beijing have long speculated that after Xiao Jining ascended the throne, he would find a way to cut down the military power of the Jing family and suppress the power of the Jing family.

Now that Xiao Jining's choice of civil servants is about military history, isn't that the best proof?

Isn’t the military history of the past dynasties all about conspiring to usurp the throne and changing dynasties after overpowering the imperial power?

Although Xiao Jining is the emperor, the Jing family cannot be offended. After all the examinees looked at each other in blank dismay, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer.

Even if Xie Xiang knew that the topic was inappropriate, he couldn't say something clearly.

Looking at Xiang Xie's hesitant appearance, Xiao Jining already guessed what Xie Xiang was worried about, but this topic was discussed with Jing Yuan, so Xiao Jining would not change it. He explained to Xie Xiang: " Soldiers, although they have little to do with civil servants, are related. Because the prime minister is the head of all officials, and he is in charge of all officials, and this kind of prime minister can only be done by civil officials. Although I choose civil servants today, the prime minister in the future will not be Is it from these civil servants?"

"But Your Majesty..." Xie Xiang knew Wen Yu's outspoken character, and he also knew that Wen Yu had disliked Jing Yuan for a long time.

The article he wrote must also be the subject of criticizing the fact that excessive military power is not good for the country. If Xiao Jining had the heart to suppress the power of the Jing family, reading Wen Yu's article would definitely make him happy, and he would be appointed as the number one scholar.

But in this way, Wen Yu will offend the Jing family to death, and the rest of the generals, even if Xiao Jining intends to cultivate Wen Yu, and now he is still the prime minister, the Jing family may not dare to make it too obvious, but when he retires After returning home, under the coercion of the Jing family, Xiao Jining wanted to continue to keep warm, but he was powerless.

"Thank you, there is no need to talk about it." Xiao Jining raised his hand and said, not to be questioned, "I think this topic is very good."

Xiao Jining has already said that, what else can Prime Minister Xie do?You can only shut up.

And Xie Xiang has been the prime minister for so many years, and has invigilated countless Chunwei palace exams, big and small, and never once felt that the two hours of answering the exam questions were so tormented.

After the eunuch's sharp voice "It's time -", Xie Xiang closed his eyes and said nothing, only thinking that his life had come to an end after he had worked so hard to cultivate his beloved disciple for many years.

When the time for the palace examination comes, no matter whether you have finished writing or not, you can't pick up the pen to write any more.

During the Spring and Autumn Periods, some examinees who could not finish writing would even pull on the thigh of the examiner and beg him to write a few more words, which is absolutely impossible in the palace examination.

All the examinees stopped writing in unison, allowing the eunuch to take away the test papers.

The arrangement order of the test papers is also arranged according to the seats of the examinees. The collected test papers are first handed over to the emperor for review. When the top three, the emperor will also listen to the opinions of the other examiners.

The seat for Wen Yu's exam was the second to last, and his exam paper was almost at the end, so Xiao Jining read the first few exam papers first.
