According to the situation of the country

The minister of the Ministry of Rites looked at the dragon case with some fascination. Although the imperial examination is coming soon, it is also a huge test that the Ministry of Rites faces every three years. Confucian scholars from various prefectures flock to the capital.But this time, it seems that he can't get in the way in front of the emperor. Ji Taifu, both of them are present, and his hat of a second-rank official seems a bit thin.

"Ministers, the spring test is about to start. The most important thing is to appoint the chief officer. Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?" Lifting his head and holding the pen, he gently dipped the good Langhao pen into the inkstone to get a smear of cinnabar, without taking his eyes off the memorial in his hand.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback.The topic of imperial examinations seems to have not been discussed for many years.

Over the years, this chief officer has been a great honor. Candidates who have been on the gold list are his students. No matter how much they become officials in the future, they should respectfully call him "teacher". Which one of the candidates in the list is not anxious to find a backer, or share a good errand in the future, and this kind of relationship has always been taboo by the emperor.No matter which dynasty or generation, what the emperor fears most is never "corrupt officials", but forming a party for personal gain.If it is said that forming a party for personal gain is why the emperor fears it?Its existence is undoubtedly a challenge to the * imperial power. If it is powerful, it will be more dangerous to overthrow the imperial power. Just a matter of time.However, Zhaoguo has gone through ups and downs. For the potential threat in the imperial examination, the emperors of all dynasties have reformed several times, but the results are not great. Since Emperor Ming, in the past hundred years, most of the chief officials are high-ranking civil servants who are good at writing but do not like power.

Now in the 17th year of Chongde, a total of five imperial examinations have been held, and the five masters are all used by Ji Ronghou Liu Fei. Liu Fei is the nephew of the current Empress Dowager. He is nearly 70 years old and has been a scholar of the Palace for many years. The big hermit is hidden in the city.Liu Fei was a famous minister of the late emperor, and also the empress dowager's family. She was trusted by the late emperor. She served as the right minister for more than ten years and worked hard to govern, but she knew the truth of retreating bravely. He even overshadowed Li Chengxian, the prime minister of the left, but surprisingly, Liu Fei voluntarily resigned on the grounds of old age and sickness. vision.

This palace bachelor is an honorary title, which sounds good but has no real power. After 20 years from Emperor Xian to Emperor Chongde, Liu Fei was hidden away like a lost pearl in the sea, but Liu Fei is a sensible person, and she is happy to be at ease .The Liu family is also the most famous family in Zhaoguo. It has successively produced two champions, one ten Jinshi, and two empresses, one of whom is the present empress dowager. It is extremely honorable.Although Marquis Ji Rong is a child of the Liu family, he is very far-sighted and knows the threat to the imperial power from the growth of the family. Therefore, when the power was in his hands, he did not take care of the Liu family at all. already.This is also one of the main reasons why he won the trust of the first emperor, but he also became the most excluded family member of the Liu family.Such a senior official with a high status but no interest involved has become the best choice to be in charge, making it unprofitable for those who seek profit, so the imperial examinations since Emperor Chongde have all been presided over by him.

The most difficult thing to figure out is the holy will. No one knows what the emperor is thinking, even if it is a simple sentence, they have to imitate it many times in their hearts.

"Don't say anything, I called you here to make up my mind, and you adults can speak freely." Lin Jin glanced at the memorial in his hand, frowned slightly, and still didn't have the slightest intention to raise his head.Seeing that most of the teacup containing Tieguanyin was gone, Dehai carefully arched his body and took the gold-painted orchid teacup. Respectfully sent to the dragon case.

"Since the emperor came to the throne, the main subject of the imperial examinations over the years has been Ji Ronghou Liu Fei. If——if there is no major change in the imperial examinations this year, the veteran thinks that Ji Ronghou will be the first choice." After Li Chengxian finished speaking, he still couldn't figure out who the emperor was this year. What kind of thought was there, but his intuition told him that there seemed to be a big change.

"Liu Fei——" Lin Jin smiled, read Ji Ronghou's name in his mouth, pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Liu Fei is indeed the first choice, and it seems that there is no one more suitable than him."

"Then who do you guys think should be the vice-principal? There are suitable candidates, and I can recommend one or two, so that I can weigh them up. After all, this imperial examination is a major matter related to the fate of the country, and there is no room for sloppy—no mistakes."

There was a moment of silence in the imperial study room, no one dared to speak first, the emperor still looked absent-minded, except for occasionally raising his head to sip tea and look around, but these ministers all understood that the "imperial examination" itself was a sensitive existence, and It is a topic that has not been mentioned for many years, how can the emperor seem to be calm on the surface.Five times of imperial examinations, five deputy directors were changed, and four of them died in the three years after the imperial examination. Although there was no connection between the different ways of death, this incident alone It's frightening, the position of vice-principal seems to be an inextricable curse, and it has long cast a shadow on the hearts of the court ministers.

It was because of this experience that a group of ministers didn't know how to speak for a while. Although they didn't believe in ghosts and supernatural powers, it was not wrong to mention anyone's name. It seemed that they had a deep hatred with whomever they mentioned.The imperial study room fell into silence again, and the hearts of the ministers seemed to be tied up, and they were tied tightly without even a chance to struggle.

"I am willing to go—" Ji Muzhi himself is not afraid of these rumors at all, but he does not mind and cannot represent others. Now that this matter is in the middle of the wind, no one dares to go.

"Teacher is confused. You are in charge of the Imperial College to avoid suspicion, otherwise people in the world will say that I am unfair." Lin Jin raised his head and smiled at Ji Muzhi, his tone also light.

Li Chengxian scorned Ji Mu's eyes without realizing it, clasped his hands together and said, "You can go, old minister."

"It seems that even the ministers also believe in those rumors of strange powers and ghosts, and they even care about the person who recommends them." Lin Jin raised his head and smiled. The sunlight squeezed in from the window, illuminating Lin Jinming's yellow robe. Kowloon is even more mighty, "If you can't recommend anyone, is this going to try the law by yourself and kill yourself to be a benevolent?"

"The ministers are in panic—"

"These words are spoken in unison. Since all the ministers believe it is true, I will appoint the vice-principal—" Lin Jin held the tea bowl, warm in his hand, and said slowly: "Then let my brother, King Yong, come and go."

After hearing what the emperor said, all the important ministers looked at each other in blank dismay.

At this time, King Yong, who was embracing Chunri outside the city, sneezed hard, "Ah-choo—" but he didn't know that he was pushed into the fire pit by his brother again, and he still smiled brightly.

"But did you catch a cold?" Ji Yuejun stretched out his hand to help Lin Xuan's back, and asked with concern.

"My king is so delicate. I can't come out for a walk in this weather. I really let down such a good weather. Besides, Mr. Yue hasn't left the mansion for a long time." Lin Xuan sat on the grass, the spring sun shining on her. It seemed as if his body could melt his heart.

"My lord's body is just getting better, so I can't stay in the mansion any longer, and I still need to pay more attention to the wound." Ji Yuejun felt sorry for Lin Xuan, knowing that most of the time he insisted on coming here just to let himself see the blooming flowers.

Lin Xuan pointed to Mo Zhiqing, who was "crazy" not far away, and said, "Hahaha... Now it looks like there is no queen at all, really a crazy girl." Mo Zhiqing was obsessed with flying the kite in her hand The tallest, I couldn't help but feel that the "talented men and beautiful people" beside him were more vigorous, running and jumping, and from time to time shouted to the bell with the spool coming from a distance: "Put the line, fast, fast--let it go!" Line—" This eagle soaring high seems to have become another "Mo Zhiqing", always trying to be the best and the best.Mo Zhiqing's days in Prince Yong's Mansion were extremely happy recently, it seemed that she hadn't smiled so heartily for a long time, and spent every day without any precautions.Looking back at Ji Yuejun, she felt a little envious, at least Lin Xuan was willing to be her eternal support, while she seemed alone.

There is always a banquet in the world, not to mention the need to consolidate the position of the Mo country.

"Okay - okay - miss -" Bell laughed loudly against the wind, almost flying away with excitement.Lin Xuan stared at the pair of live treasures and shook his head helplessly. He couldn't believe that these two had never even played with kites.

Ji Yuejun stared at Lin Xuan's side face, and then turned around to look at everything around him. The day was so beautiful that he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. The fairy-like elegance added a strong touch to the scenery.

"Dawn and clouds bloom, spring follows one's wishes, and the showers are cleared after the shower. Thanks to the ancient Taiwan, Feiyan Cu Hongying." Lin Xuan smiled at the corner of his mouth, looking at everything in front of him with ease.

"In the east wind, the willows are reflected by the rich family, press the little Qin Zheng." After Ji Yuejun finished reading, Lin Xuan looked at each other and smiled, meeting you in the best years, besides cherishing is cherishing.

Suddenly Ji Yuejun turned to look at Lin Xuan, and said mischievously: "It seems that the prince is not an embroidered pillow with no knowledge and skills as rumored—this famous Wing Chun sentence is endless, and Yue Jun has really been taught." After a pause, he said deliberately: "My lord compares this spring scenery so beautifully. I don't know if my lord loves Endless Se or Yuejun more?"

Lin Xuan's smiling expression froze in an instant, this... this, why does Yue Jun ask himself questions every day?Now it is comparable to this se again.Seeing Lin Xuan's surprised expression, Ji Yuejun snickered in his heart, Lin Xuan's dazed appearance was so cute that people couldn't help but want to bully him, but they were looking forward to his answer.

"The spring water is born, the spring forest is flourishing, and the spring breeze is not as good as you." Lin Xuan smiled, looking at Ji Yuejun with tenderness in his eyes, Ji Yuejun felt that his world had stopped, and there seemed to be hundreds of butterflies dancing around him. Probably the taste of happiness.
