imprinted you in my heart

As Shi Min had already prepared, even if the examiner was changed on the spot, it would not have any impact, and the Qiuwei scientific examination was held in Fandu as scheduled.

The new chief examiner is Wen Yuan, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. He is the mother of Shi Min's attendant Wen Zhiyuan and Shi Min's great aunt.

When considering the candidate for the dean of the Hanlin Academy, Shi Min also thought about his aunt Wen Yuan, but because he was worried about giving the impression of cronyism to the world, he did not promote him. Instead, he promoted Huang Xueshi, who was mediocre. Because meritocracy is the truth.

After reading the secret letter sent by Chen Jiyuan, Shi Min was even more convinced of this truth.After Wen Yuan became the chief examiner, he quickly took action. He immediately called all the officials who participated in the Qiuwei examination to give lectures, and redistributed the forces in the examination room reasonably.

In order to make the foreign imperial guards and yamen servants who check whether the candidates are entrained and patrol the field perform their duties, Wen Yuan also specially set up a reward system. Anyone who finds that entrainment and cheating are true will be rewarded with two taels of silver.

Under such a reward mechanism, a group of people with private possessions were indeed caught, and Wenyuan put them in jail as usual. The next day, the foreign imperial army caught two cheaters in the toilet, and they were also put in jail as usual.

Because the previous exam questions had been leaked, Shi Min gave the backup exam questions to his aunt Wen Yuan the day before the exam.This backup exam question was drawn up by herself, no one else knew about it, so it could be said that this exam question was the one in her heart.

Ever since Shi Min ascended the throne, Chen Jiyuan's dark line is still a dark line, but the person who passed it on has changed from Xing Boen to Fan Qiu, and the rest has not changed much, except for an emergency handling method.

Fandu's network has been perfected after so many years of hard work by Chen Jiyuan, and the information reported is more detailed than what the ministers reported, which is a great help for her to obtain information.

But the more detailed the situation in Fandu is known, the more confused she is about the local situation. Apart from what she learned in books and what the ministers reported, she knows nothing about the place. She wants to expand the network of secret connections, but no matter where she is Objective reasons or subjective reasons, is not the best time.

In addition to the fact that some people were imprisoned for entrainment and cheating in the first two days of the Qiuwei scientific examination, the next four days of the examination were very peaceful. In the cradle, all the ministers in court were trembling, for fear of getting burned.

As soon as the scientific examination was over, Wen Yuan entered the palace with the memorabilia he had written. At this time, Shi Min was having dinner with Grandma Huang at his mother's Anren Palace. Bring people over.

"Chen Wenyuan respectfully invites Your Majesty Shengan, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, Wanfu Jinan." Like the examinees, Wen Yuan, who had not returned home for six days, looked exhausted before entering the hall, and his official uniform was wrinkled, so he specially made a special effort before entering the hall. He pulled himself together and tidied up his clothes.

Wen Yu, who heard the conversation between Xi'er and Xixia clearly, knew that the eldest sister was coming, so she looked outside from time to time, and when she saw Xixia coming in, she stood up and looked behind expectantly. After finishing the meal, she helped her up directly, "Sister, there are no outsiders here, so you don't need to be polite. You must have not eaten yet, so come and eat with us."

"The gift of the monarch and his ministers cannot be revoked, please let the Queen Mother fulfill it." Wen Yuan did not give up because of his sister's resistance, but took a step back.

Zhao Huan and Shi Min are used to such scenes. Wen Yu has a gentle personality, so he is very kind to his relatives, especially his natal family. Old-fashioned, so such a scene is inevitable.

"Excuse me, let's sit down and eat together." Zhao Huan, who had already put down the bowl and chopsticks, also spoke.

"There are no outsiders here, so my aunt will listen to my queen mother." Knowing that Grandma Guanghuang's words were not enough, Shi Min immediately added without waiting for her aunt to speak as usual.

"I obey the decree, thank you, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager." With His Majesty's permission, Wen Yuan was willing to sit down and have a meal together.

Shi Min, who was afraid that his aunt would spoil the atmosphere of the meal, added, "Don't talk about business during the meal, so my aunt should eat more."

Although at most there were only her, grandma, and queen mother eating together in the palace, the meals on the table were enough for a dozen people, so adding one person was just a matter of adding a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

After dinner, considering that it was rare for his aunt to enter the inner palace once, Shi Min asked her to talk to the queen mother in Anren Palace, while he went to the Wenxuan Palace first.

As for Grandma Huang and Empress Dowager, Shi Min never forbade them to do anything, but they seldom left the palace. At most, they would go out of the palace in casual clothes and return to their natal home for a few days throughout the year. She once asked Grandma Huang and Empress Dowager why they didn’t come home with great fanfare. natal family.

After all, such a beautiful scene should be yearned for by many ancients, but she was wrong, because both the grandma and the queen are queens who have the world in their hearts. Far from being rich during the reign of the Four Emperors.

When it comes to money, Shi Min has a headache. This morning, he summoned Yuan Zhimu, Minister of the Household Department, as usual, but before she said anything, Yuan Zhimu preemptively cried to her, saying that the money obtained by copying the properties of those officials had already been spent. It was almost the same, and when he became the throne, he was exempted from taxes for three years. The whole country had too many people to support, and the income was too little, and the treasury was almost bottomed out.

He also said that no matter what to do, no matter whether it is the salaries of the nobles, the salaries of officials, or military expenses, they will be cut off. Only the warehouses still have a lot of food, but the salary must be paid in addition to food, which is indispensable.

When I was working at the modern grass-roots level, there was a time when the unit had financial difficulties. She hadn’t paid her salary for three months, and she couldn’t save money at all. She couldn’t hold on for a month. Mom borrowed money, and she was so poor that she even had to worry about buying something.

I didn't expect to be so poor now that I became an emperor in ancient times, and my salary and military salary are almost out of reach. Thinking about it, I am really irritable and have a headache. She is a mechanical student. Is it necessary for her to draw design drawings and make some simple things? For any problem, let her make money, she is simply at a loss, and she doesn't know where to start.

Members of the royal family all have their own private treasury, and her money is rarely used indiscriminately except for the necessary, and all of it is saved, which is only 2 taels of silver. She paid 2 taels, but Shi Min didn't know where her money went.

Shi Xuan has been the prince for decades and the emperor for more than three years. It stands to reason that there should not be only 2 taels in the private treasury. It is rare to leave ten thousand taels to her.

But even if she gave all the money from the private treasury to the national treasury, it wouldn't take long, and this approach is not a long-term solution, but the most important thing now is to alleviate the urgent need, so she was going to ask Grandma Huang and the Queen Mother to order some private houses after dinner Qian should be in an emergency, but the accident happened to my aunt, how could she have the nerve to speak up.

Wen Yuan, who was thinking about things in his heart, did not chat with Wen Yu for too long. After a brief chat, he left and left, but he specifically emphasized that his parents missed her and hoped that she would find time to go home and stay for a few days.

Wen Yu originally planned to go back to her mother's house for a few days at the end of autumn and early winter, and she already had an idea in advance.

When Wen Yuan rushed to the Wenxuan Hall under the leadership of the palace servants, Shi Min had already reviewed many memorials. Although he was worried about money, he had to continue with his daily affairs.

"Chen Wenyuan respectfully invites His Majesty to be safe" Wen Yuan

"My aunt is free of courtesy, and I will give you a seat. How about the scientific examination in Qiuwei?" Shi Min

"Thanks to Your Majesty's great blessing, I am honored to be honored. The examination part of this autumn's scientific examination has been successfully completed, and the examination paper has been sealed and sent to the Imperial Academy for copying. This is the memorandum on matters related to this autumn's scientific examination. Please review it by your majesty." Wen Yuan

After receiving the memorabilia handed over by Fan Qiu, Shi Min looked at it carefully and wrote three things in total. One was the progress of the scientific examination and the next step arrangements; It is based on the "Hua Law"'s suggestion on the punishment of cheaters.

"When the cost of breaking the law is too low and the return profit is too high, those who are greedy for profit will always take chances to break the law, because they have no fear or fear." Shi Min deliberately paused when he said this, "I think this is a very To change it, all candidates who cheated will be dismissed, and they will not be allowed to take the exam again for a lifetime, and they will be fined 100 taels of silver."

"The minister obeys the decree, and the minister resigns." Wen Yuan did not expect that His Majesty would double the punishment for cheating at once. From the original disqualification of the examination qualification, ten-year ban, and a fine of 50 taels of silver to the above, he suddenly understood The meaning of the sentence before His Majesty paused.

"Auntie, let's go back and have a rest. It won't be too late to read the exam papers tomorrow." Auntie Shi Min saw her energetic and slightly tired face, and knew that it was not easy to invigilate the exam for six days in a row.

Wen Yuan, who was about to retreat, was overjoyed when he heard the words, as if he had been affirmed after six days of exhaustion, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, I obey the order", and finally retreated with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The next day, Shi Min was called to Anren Palace by his mother when he came down to court, "My mother is blessed with good health, I don't know why the mother called my son-in-law?".

"I'm going to stay in Wenhou's Mansion in Weifu tomorrow for a few days. My mother is getting old, and you have to take care of the affairs in the palace." Wen Yu's tone was not discussing, but telling, she knew that Shi Min would not be opposed to.

In fact, Shi Min did not object, and was very happy that the queen mother decided to live with her grandmother. "The queen mother can go as long as she wants, and she can stay as long as she wants. All matters in the palace are handled by the sons and servants, and the queen mother does not have to worry about it."

"Okay, with your words, I'm relieved, and the dinner will be served in Yongshou Palace." Wen Yu's face was filled with anticipation and joy.

What else could Shi Min say, but he nodded in agreement, and he just took advantage of this dinner to share his thoughts with the Queen Mother and Grandma Huang.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for dinner, and Shi Min waited until Grandma Huang and the Empress had used up all of them before saying, "Grandma Huang, the Empress Dowager, I have a heartfelt request." Although Zhao Huan and Wen Yu didn't speak, they used His eyes beckoned her to continue.

"There are three things in total. One is that the treasury is short of money recently, and I hope that the emperor's grandma and queen mother can help me; the second is that the servants in the palace far exceed those of the Four Emperors, and I am going to dismiss some of them; the third is that the waste in the palace, The minister is going to make great efforts to rectify, and please support the emperor's grandma and the queen mother."

This was an idea that Shi Min had long ago, but he never had a good chance to say it out.It just so happens that she is short of money now, which gives her a good reason and excuse to speak out. ?
