Ben Hou is ill

After the imperial examination, Yan Zhaoge spent a day at home comfortably, eating green vegetables and tofu three times a day. Although she didn't understand why the emperor gave her an imperial cook, green vegetables and tofu were really delicious. The new cook is here.

The next day she had just finished her breakfast, and before she had time to remove the table, there was a flurry of noises in the front yard, and the sound of Ji Xia's footsteps came hurriedly.

"My son, a decree has arrived."

Yan Zhaoge reflexively felt that the emperor was out of order again.First I gave a Juren, and then I gave a cook, what should I give this time?

When they got to the front hall, they found that it was not an imperial decree at all, but a servant came to deliver the emperor's oral order, calling her into the palace to face the holy.

Yan Zhaoge suddenly realized, and forgot about this.After the courtiers reviewed the papers, they would submit the ten best articles to the imperial examination, and then the servants would take out the sealed originals one by one, remove the blurred names, and reveal the names and places of origin of the scholars. The top seven in the top two.Before releasing the list, the emperor will summon this scholar alone.In the final ranking of the imperial examination, the No. [-] scholar in the first class will be ranked second, and the top seven in the second class will be decided after the emperor summons them.If you don't deal with it well, it is not impossible to fall from the top pick to the seventh or even lower.

The emperor wanted to summon Yan Zhaoge, that is to say, her ranking was among the top ten in this imperial examination.

Why don't you just give it a top three, why doesn't the eldest princess persuade Jinshang.Yan Zhaoge felt his head was getting bigger, but he still had to enter the palace.

Yan Zhaoge went out with the servant, and went straight to the palace in the carriage of the mansion. On the way, she exchanged a few words with the servant without any trace, and stuffed a small red envelope. The servant revealed to Yan Zhaoge with a smile on his face. There are many details that the face saint needs to pay attention to. For example, today the eldest princess is extremely respected, so he can't say things like Ji Sichen, otherwise not only will his ranking drop, but he will definitely be sent to a place of bitter cold to drink wind in the end.

In two lifetimes, this is the first time for Yan Zhaoge to face the saint. Before the turmoil in Chang'an, she had never been in the palace. All the little emperors would honestly call her uncle, and which courtier would not respectfully call her His Highness King Yan, who would dare to catch her overreaching?

After entering the palace, Yan Zhaoge was led by a small servant to wait in a side hall, after about half an hour, another servant came in and spoke to Yan Zhaoge.

"Your Majesty Jihou, I now announce your audience."

"Thank you, Mr. Ling." Yan Zhaoge cupped his hands in thanks and smiled.

"Your Majesty Jihou, you are welcome." The servant smiled, slightly bowed his body to lead the way, and whispered some taboo things while leading the way, which was more detailed than the little servant before.

Not all the servants in the palace are eunuchs, there are also healthy people, but because they rely on serving the emperor for a living, people outside can't tell which are eunuchs and which are healthy people, so they just generalize, and there are often scholars who spit on them behind their backs Take a sip, swear at pickled things, and it's not uncommon to swear in person.It is very rare for Yan Zhaoge to treat all the interiors with courtesy, and it is easy to get their favor.

Yan Zhaoge didn't like these eunuchs at first, until the turmoil in Chang'an, Jinshang died, the Duke of Shu mutinied, and a group of servants carried the prince out of the palace with arrows to their death, and handed it over to her the next moment He swallowed his breath, covered in arrow feathers, but Yan Zhaoge didn't even know the names of these people.The Eighth School of Jingying escorted the eldest princess, the crown prince and Yan Zhaoge to Yandi. Due to wind, food, camping and lack of food and grass along the way, and the rebels intercepted them, more than half of the soldiers and horses died when they arrived in Yandi. The courtiers, however, took off their hats and knelt down to welcome the new emperor shortly after the Duke of Shu won the palace. His ugly face can be seen.

Every time more dogs are slaughtered in righteousness, most of them are scholars who are unwilling.She couldn't help sighing in her heart.

She was led to the gate of a palace in Weiyang Palace, and the servant who led the way said: "Please wait a moment, Prince Jihou, and this servant will report to you."

"Thank you Linggong." Yan Zhaoge thanked again.

The servant who went in to report came out not long after, and asked Yan Zhaoge to wait for a while, there was a person inside who was playing a duet with the emperor, and he could only go in after the other party finished.

After a while, a servant came out leading a scholar with his head held high. He looked arrogant and the champion was in his pocket, so who was it?

Yan Zhaoge and Qu Suihan met their gazes, and were glared fiercely by the other party.

Is there something wrong with this person?What are you staring at her for?She looked puzzled, so the servant next to her explained to her: "The one just now is the Yuan of Jinke."

I see.Looking at the other party's appearance, it seems that the result of playing the right game is very good.Yan Zhaoge nodded slightly at the other party. She is the son of a marquis, and her father is a frontier general in the army. It is considered a face to give a slight nod to a quasi-official who has not yet taken office. Just staring at her at the other party, if not here It's the palace, and no one will say anything if she goes up and kicks the other party.

Qu Suihan seemed annoyed by Yan Zhaoge's actions, he gritted his teeth and said hello, then walked away with his head held high.

Yan Zhaoge: "..."

Yan Zhaoge said indifferently: "This scholar seems to have some opinions on me."

The servant who led the way smiled slightly and said: "All actions and conversations after entering the palace will be recorded and reported to the present."

Oh Huo, I'm afraid Qu Suihan is going to plant pines and cypresses in the land of Suihan now, it's worthy of the name, wonderful.

Yan Zhaoge followed the servants into the hall. The hall smelled faintly of sandalwood. There was a screen on the hall. In front of the screen was a desk. Behind the desk sat a young man in a bright yellow dragon robe. Similar to Yan Zhaoge, His Highness also has a desk.

As soon as he entered the inner hall, the servant immediately knelt down. He was the emperor's servant, and the face saint had to kneel.But Yan Zhaoge could straighten his clothes first, then kneel down on the ground, prostrate himself on the ground, and said: "The son of Marquis Ji, Zhao Ge respectfully greets His Majesty."

"I am safe." The young man is naturally the current emperor, he coughed slightly, and said: "Your Majesty Ji, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yan Zhaoge bowed again, and stood aside after thanking.

"Give a seat to Jihou Shizi."

A servant brought a gray futon and placed it behind His Highness's desk, Yan Zhaoge thanked the servant in a low voice, bowed to the emperor, and knelt down on the futon.

The emperor nodded secretly. There was no lack of etiquette, and he did not look like a dandy. His walking posture was correct and his appearance was excellent, but his body seemed to be a little thinner. If he was stronger, he could be directly appointed as a big man in the palace... Cough, cough, no, no, I'm afraid I will be punished by the imperial sister.He coughed lowly, and said, "Did the son of Marquis Ji ever choose characters?"

Yan Zhaoge didn't understand, so he replied: "My father and my mentor have already chosen the word for my minister. It is called "Ying Yue", and the song is "Yong of Yong Zhi", "Moon of Bright Moon". Because the minister has not yet crowned, so I haven't called it yet."

"Good word, the son of Marquis Ji is a little older than me, and you are also favored by the emperor, so I will call you by your watch name." The emperor was very surprised in his heart, Yan Zhaoge's watch name was Yongyue, and Yan Yongyao was another which?

Yan Zhaoge was at a loss, when did I win the favor of the eldest princess?Since she woke up until now, apart from glancing at the eldest princess from the corner of her eye during the palace examination, she has never met the eldest princess. How could the eldest princess appreciate her?

The emperor would not explain to her, his mind was full of which one Yan Yongyao was, so he asked: "I heard that Yongyue has three brothers, did you ever take the name?"

"No, the oldest of the minister's brothers is no more than fifteen years old, and the youngest is only five years old. Although the minister's father has determined the names of the minister's brothers by chants, more details have not yet been obtained."

The emperor nodded, consistent with the results of Jin Yiwei's secret investigation, Yan Zhaoge is very honest, which is very good.He thought for a while, and then asked: "Does Yong Yue have distant relatives?

This problem is getting more and more outrageous.Yan Zhaoge lamented in his heart that the emperor was more capable than she imagined, and replied: "I was young when I left Yandi, so I don't know how many cousins ​​I have. There are four uncles and uncles in total, all of whom died in battle. in the North."

After the emperor asked, he also realized that his question was getting more and more biased, completely deviated from the scope of policy theory, coughed in disguise, and said: "Marquis Ji's heirs are weak, and I feel sorry for them, so I asked this question."

"Your Majesty is terrified. I thank Your Majesty. I am very grateful for His Majesty's mercy." Yan Zhaoge thanked him.

"This time, Yongyue's writing really touched my heart, and the eldest princess also praised Yongyue as a great talent. Being listed in the top ten is enough to prove your talent." The emperor praised a few words, changed the subject, and said: "But you come from an honorable family, and your status is a gift from the imperial court. Although you are talented, if you directly win the first class, you may be criticized by the courtiers. I will rank you as the third class. Do you have any opinions?"

Yan Zhaoge rejoiced and said: "Thank you for your majesty's appreciation, and thank you for the princess's praise. I don't have deep knowledge, so I am ashamed to be worthy of it. Besides, thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. If there is no appreciation from your majesty, not to mention this imperial examination, I will not even be able to be a judge." Impossible, I can get the top three status, I am very grateful."

The emperor nodded secretly, the joy in Yan Zhaoge's eyes was not fake when he spoke, he really felt that it would be very good to get the top three ranking, such a scholar is too rare.No wonder Huang Jie likes this Yan Zhaoge so much, if I knew this person is so understanding of the rules, he also likes it very much!

Yan Zhaoge was really happy, just give her a top three, and she would go home honestly, anyway, the emperor couldn't send her out to be a county magistrate, so it wouldn't attract attention, it was really great.

The emperor couldn't help coughing again, Yan Zhaoge quickly restrained his smile, and asked with concern, "Is Your Majesty feeling unwell?"

Yan Zhaoge's concern is not fake, the turmoil all started from the accidental death of Xingping four years ago, when the crown prince was only two years old, the Duke of Shu immediately had a different heart, and he was connected with people who were not loyal enough. The courtiers have overturned the sky in Chang'an.

If there is no death today, maybe nothing will happen.

The author has something to say: Regarding the name of the eldest princess, because the source will not be written in the text, I will explain it here after you ask.

Chapter [-] said that the first emperor had three sons who died before adopting, and the only son and eldest princess were compatriots of the same mother. "Shuowen Jiezi" said "Shao, Jiye", to a certain extent, Shao and Jiye It is synonymous, so I will make it the name of the eldest princess and the son.At the same time, Shao also has the meaning of traction, which can be understood as the eldest princess who brought the only son of the first emperor.

Although "Shuowen Jiezi" also says "continue, continue", I think these two words "continue" are not good as a girl's name, and "Shao" sounds better, so I didn't choose this word.

Although the meaning of the word Shaohua is very beautiful, the ancients chose the name to pay attention to the ranking of the descendants and the meaning of the words.Now there are also people who pay attention to offspring, and my hometown is still naming them according to the genealogy.

Other questions remain unanswered.

I think Shao is really nice to listen to, really.
