Stranger and Chen in the Palace

As soon as Xue Zimo returned to Xiangfu, Shunde followed him.

"Is Shunde father-in-law okay?"

Shunde respectfully said: "Master Zuo, this is entrusted to you by His Majesty's servant."

After speaking, he handed over a golden nanmu box and a small white jade porcelain bottle.

Xue Zimo took it, opened the box, and found a gold medal inside!

A similar gold medal was given to him by Ling Yichen, which was the gold medal of the former emperor Ling Mingyun, and this one belonged to Ling Yichen himself.

The same size, the same style, but the character in the middle has changed to "Chen", but Xue Zimo knows that they all have the same function.

Seeing the gold medal is like seeing the emperor himself!

With this, you can freely enter and exit the palace and dispatch officials from all over the world! ! !

Putting the gold medal back into the box, Xue Zimo opened the porcelain bottle, and a scent of fragrance came out: "This is it?"

Shunde smiled: "This is the best ointment for wounds in the palace. Your majesty specially ordered Imperial Doctor Zhang to prepare it for you when your hand was injured."

Xue Zimo lowered his eyes, and lightly rubbed the side of the bottle with his finger: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for me."

"Yes." Shunde retreated and left the prime minister's mansion.

Facts have proved that Xue Zimo, the number one talent in the world, has a huge appeal!

In less than three days, all the inns in the imperial capital were filled with talents from all over the place to participate in the selection of the imperial examination, while others were still rushing to the imperial capital one after another.

Xiao Ye and Huang Zaizhong also quickly dealt a powerful blow to the big family involved in this incident, making them afraid to do more, and the rumors quickly subsided.

Ling Yichen was in a good mood. In the past few days, Xue Zimo had been reviewing the memorials with him in Xihe Palace. With his help, Ling Yichen really felt a lot easier.

Now that the rumors have subsided and things are starting to look good, now it's just a matter of finding a replacement official quickly and everything will be back on track.

"How long do you think is appropriate to hold the palace examination?" Ling Yichen suddenly asked Xue Zimo who was reviewing the memorial.

Xue Zimo looked up: "Just two days, the sooner the better."

Ling Yichen nodded. Officer Jian came in from the outside, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the blueprint of Zuo Xiangfu has been drawn, please have a look at it."

Shunde presented the blueprint to Ling Yichen.

"Left Prime Minister's Mansion?" Xue Zimo was surprised.

"You are now the prime minister, so of course you have your own mansion." Ling Yichen looked at the blueprint carefully without looking up.

Jian Shiguan did design according to his will, everything in Zuo Xiangfu is according to the best.But looking at it, Ling Yichen suddenly frowned, picked up the pen and circled on the drawing.

After the modification, Ling Yichen pushed the blueprint in front of Xue Zimo: "How about changing it like this?"

Xue Zimo looked at him suspiciously, turned the drawing in a different direction, and understood at a glance that Ling Yichen had changed the address of Zuo Xiangfu.

The original design is very close to today's Prime Minister's Mansion, and of course, it is also very close to the Princess' Mansion.

The address of the new circle is far away from the Princess Mansion, but it is very close to the Imperial Palace. If you don't look carefully, you may think it is one with the Imperial Palace.

Xue Zimo bowed his head: "But it's up to His Majesty to decide."

With a smile in Ling Yichen's eyes, he handed the blueprint to Shunde, and said to Jian Shiguan, "According to what I revised."

"Yes." Officer Jian said cautiously.

He had been drawing this drawing for a long time, thinking that it would be approved by His Majesty, but he did not expect that there was still something wrong. Fortunately, Ling Yichen did not lose his temper.

To be honest, he is still completely uncertain about this new monarch's temper, but he can see one thing, His Majesty is very interested in this Lord Zuoxiang, and he must put his heart into the construction of the Zuoxiang Mansion just work.

early morning.

Ling Yichen said to the officials in the court: "The palace examination will be held in two days, and the chief examiner and examiner will be the left minister Xue Zimo. Do you have any opinions?"

A group of officials shook their heads, expressing no objection. Even the memorials were approved by both of them, which shows Xue Zimo's detached status in His Majesty's heart, how dare they have any opinions.

What's more, Xue Zimo's talent is well-known, and he deserves his name as the chief examiner.

Two days later, the palace examination was held as scheduled.

The drafting and evaluation of the test papers were all checked by Xue Zimo himself, and a group of outstanding talents were quickly selected from them.

Xue Zimo deliberately selected more people to participate in the interview. Only those who passed both tests can he rest assured that he must select the best talents for Ling Yichen.

Three days later, the interview.

The interview was scheduled to be held in the Imperial Garden, where hundreds of talents who came to participate in the interview had already been waiting there.

Ling Yichen and Xue Zimo appeared together in the imperial garden, and the gifted scholars who were talking and laughing instantly fell silent, knelt down and said in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Ling Yichen waved lightly: "Get up, everyone."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The talented scholars who stood up looked at Ling Yichen and Xue Zimo one after another, photographed by Huang Wei, they dared not make a sound, but their hearts were unprecedentedly active.

Xue Zimo's reputation of being unparalleled in beauty has long been spread throughout the world.But they never expected that the legendary cruel and bloodthirsty king was actually such a handsome and handsome man.

With a light glance, the dignity between the brows is full, and the gestures of the hands and feet are all kingly, not angry but majestic, making people unable to help but be sincere from the bottom of their hearts.

"This interview is presided over by Prime Minister Zuo. I just watch from the sidelines. You are free to play without restraint."

After Ling Yichen finished speaking, he lazily leaned back in his chair and sipped tea leisurely.

He was born to be extremely good-looking, he acted casually like this, without his majesty, on the contrary, he exuded a luxurious air, indescribably freehand and romantic, what a handsome and elegant man!

Talented scholars secretly sighed, how many women in the world will be fascinated by their Majesty!

Before they finished sighing, Xue Zimo came in front of everyone.

To everyone's surprise, Xue Zimo cupped his hands, bowed solemnly to everyone, and said with a sincere smile, "Zimo here sincerely thanks everyone for coming, and hopes that we can serve the wise and wise Emperor Chen together in the future!"

Ling Yichen, who was drinking tea beside him, trembled, and his eyes fell on the man.

If he was not sure about anything before, then at this moment, he has completely confirmed that Xue Zimo did all this for him, all for him...

The talented people were even more excited, not to mention that Xue Zimo was already Prime Minister Zuo, his title of the best talented person in the world alone was enough to make them bow down.

They had admired this legendary talent for a long time, and indeed they came to participate in the palace examination selection at the call of Xue Zimo.Xue Zimo's character and talent, as well as the courtesy to them, made them feel that they didn't make a wrong choice!

Looking at the eager gazes in everyone's eyes that seemed to swallow Xue Zimo, Ling Yichen couldn't help frowning. If he wasn't still sitting here, these people would have rushed up.

The subsequent interviews went very smoothly, and the candidates for alternate officials were all drawn up based on the talents and specialties of the selected talents.As for the talents who were not selected, Ling Yichen also gave each of them a sum of money.

The incident quickly spread to the people, and the panicked hearts of the people have calmed down. It seems that His Majesty is not as violent as the rumors.On the contrary, he gave very preferential treatment to literati and bachelors, especially the various courtesies he gave to the left minister Xue Zimo, which became a good story about Mingjun and virtuous ministers for a while.

Of course, the name of His Majesty's flair and elegance was also spread throughout the world.

With the appointment of the candidate officials, the affairs of the DPRK and China are gradually on the right track, and the era of Ling Yichen's rule has really begun...

Xue Zimo obviously found that since the interview in the Imperial Garden that day, Ling Yichen's attitude towards him had gradually changed, he was no longer as cold as before, and he no longer even spoke in an alienated tone.

In this regard, Xue Zimo felt very comforted in his heart. He is already very satisfied that the two of them can do this now.

"You can go to the martial arts competition tomorrow." Ling Yichen asked Xue Zimo who was reviewing the memorial.

In the past, when he saw the memorials piled up like a mountain, he would feel a headache, but now, he wished for as many memorials as possible, so that this person would stay by his side forever.

It's a pity that things backfired. In the past few days, as the affairs of the court have been on the right track, there have been fewer and fewer memorials. If this continues, Xue Zimo probably won't come to help him review the memorials again.

Xue Zimo raised his head when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "I'm just a civil servant, I don't understand these things."

"It doesn't matter if you take a look, the other officials will go." Ling Yichen continued to encourage.

Xue Zimo nodded: "Since everyone is going, then the humble minister should go too."

Ling Yichen smiled, and when Xue Zimo finished approving the memorial, he heard him say: "Your Majesty, the number of memorials sent is now much less, and it is inconvenient for me to handle it for Your Majesty for a long time, so as not to affect His Majesty's prestige."

Ling Yichen reluctantly said, "Okay."

Xue Zimo bowed and saluted, and left Xihe Palace.

Ling Yichen called Shunde in: "Pass down the order, and order all the officials in the court to watch the martial arts competition on time tomorrow."

"Yes." Shunde took the order.

Ling Yichen sighed, what can he do to keep that person by his side?
