I handed in the fast pass system

"My lord, is it inappropriate to do this?" An old minister stood up and asked tremblingly.

Other officials agreed one after another, saying that doing so would be unfair to those candidates who passed the imperial examination.

Long Yujin seemed to have expected that someone would say that, and sent someone to bring a copy of the article, and sent it to all civil and military officials for circulation.

"This is an article written by Zhou Taibai. I think I have excellent talent and learning, and I should be a Hanlin bachelor. You can read it."

The emperor has said so, and it has already shown that there is no room for change in this matter.The head of the current prime minister, the elders of the three dynasties, endured dissatisfaction and took the article to read carefully, but after a while, he was astonished as a heavenly man.

"Such a beautiful article was really written by Zhou Taibai?"

The civil servants have always been headed by him. Hearing this, he suddenly became curious. Even the prime minister praised this article so much. Could it be that Zhou Taibai really has some great abilities?

The eunuch presented the articles in front of other people according to their official positions. After reading it, everyone was shocked and praised.

But no matter what, you can't skip the scientific examination and give him a fifth-rank official position out of thin air!

So Sun Xiang stood up again and said: "This man is indeed talented in literature and a pillar of our country, but rules are rules after all. Your Majesty can order him to take part in the scientific examination next year. If he is really capable, he can justifiably win Why is there such a rush for the title of Jinke No. [-] Scholar?"

Long Yu raised his eyebrows, his eyes were deep, and he looked at Sun Xiang meaningfully: "Sun Xiang also thinks that this person deserves this year's top prize?"

"This..." Sun Xiang hesitated for a while.

In this spring hunt, the Jinshi who were selected were also there, including the number one scholar Su Muzhi they just mentioned. If he nodded and said yes, it would be too disrespectful to the number one scholar, but if he said no, he had already spoken just now, and In all fairness, Zhou Taibai's article is indeed not comparable to Su Muzhi.

Speaking of it, Zhou Taibai's article actually wrote about "six tubes".

It happened to be the subject of this year's scientific examination, His Majesty hand-picked it.

The scientific examination has already passed, so writing such an article is a bit of a trick.

It is because of this that Sun Xiang just said "if he is really capable".

He cupped his hands and explained his thoughts to Long Yujin, who knew that Long Yujin was waiting for his words.

At this time, all the officials have basically read this article, Long Yujin waved his sleeves, and asked the same words to the officials below: "What do you love, what do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but several of them had already recognized the article, and they knelt down on the spot with a "plop".

The other officials looked over in confusion, and found that the kneeling ones were all officials in charge of the preliminary screening of the scientific examination this year.

"Your Majesty's atonement! I'm so blind that I almost made Your Majesty lose my talents. I'm guilty!"

"The minister should die!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately understood.

It turns out that this article was not written after the scientific examination, but Zhou Taibai's answer sheet for this scientific examination!

Only because the words were fierce and pointed at the country's pain points everywhere, these people worried that they would offend the emperor, so they screened him out.

Who would have thought that Zhou Taibai was so lucky that he happened to meet Xiaoyao Wang who loves to join in the fun, and coaxed Xiaoyao Wang to run around for him, and finally even begged in front of Shengjia!

King Xiaoyao has always been synonymous with dandyism, no one would have thought that Li Zhi didn't need to be coaxed by Zhou Taibai to do all of this. He saw Zhou Taibai's talent and recommended him to the officialdom.

In the end, she was rejected for a while and begged in front of Long Yujin, finally allowing this dusty pearl to see the light of day again.

The officials kneeling on the ground were full of remorse. If they had known that Zhou Taibai had friendship with King Xiaoyao, and if they had known that the emperor wanted such a painful article, they would not have concealed Zhou Taibai's article!

This is great, the imperial examination is a major national event, but they deliberately conceal it, causing the court to almost miss a man of insight, and he will definitely be demoted and dismissed!

Those originally aggrieved Jinshi were ashamed after reading the article. Su Muzhi, the champion of Jinke, knelt down generously and admitted that his skills were inferior to others. Others followed suit and knelt down on the ground.

Long Yujin looked at these people on the ground in silence for a while, and then waved his hand for a long time: "Forget it, I'm tired. Today's spring hunting ends here."

After finishing speaking, he drove back to the other courtyard, stopped in the middle of the walk, and turned around to call Shang Lizhi.

"Since Zhou Qing was recommended by you, then you should also come and listen to him and learn some knowledge from Zhou Qing."

Li Zhi: "..."

Learn shit.

He clearly wanted to put him under his nose!

Having said that, in front of all civil and military officials, Li Zhi still reluctantly followed up.

All civil and military officials sent off in unison, and when they got up, their entire back was chilly, and they realized that their inner clothes were soaked in cold sweat.

His Majesty's methods are very cruel, and he has always been straightforward, but now he has not said how to deal with these examiners who neglected their duties in the scientific examination, fearing that they will be severely punished.

Just hope it doesn't implicate them.

--

The spring hunt ended soon, and the real ranking of the scientific examination was reposted. The original 50 candidates became 51, and the relevant examiners were demoted and demoted. However, he grew a lot taller, and articles praising the new emperor appeared one after another, which simply wiped away the murderous image of the nine sons taking over the heir.

No one dared to object to Zhou Taibai's appointment as a Hanlin scholar.

It's just that Zhou Taibai has become busy because of this, and needs to be by Long Yujin's side every day to advise him, and even Li Zhi can't find anyone when he wants to find him.

Although he was already in his thirties, he was already a fifth-rank official when he first entered the official career, and he still followed the path of the Imperial Academy. As long as he acted safely in the future, he was almost the best candidate for the next prime minister.

For a while, Zhou Taibai became the most sought after golden bachelor in the capital from a frustrated scholar who bumped into walls everywhere, and became the most sought after by matchmakers. Every day, so many matchmakers came to his door to propose marriage that they almost broke the threshold.

Those who came were not from ordinary families, they were all from the family members of officials of the third grade or above, even if they were concubines, they were the kind that ordinary people could not reach.

However, Zhou Taibai never liked the words of the matchmaker's orders from his parents. He wanted to throw everyone out, but he was afraid of bringing disaster to the Xiaoyao King who recommended him, so he could only deal with it by holding his nose, and then escaped over the wall. Only by going to the mansion can we get a moment of peace.

He later complained about this to Li Zhi, and Li Zhi knew without even thinking about it, it must be Long Yujin's handwriting.

Zhou Taibai was recommended by him, obviously he belonged to his faction, but he was a prince, the kind who came from the same line as the emperor, if it was a normal situation, those ministers would definitely have to wait and see for a while before they dared to speak to Zhou Taibai Toss an olive branch.

To want to marry him so eagerly must have been instructed by Long Yujin to see Zhou Taibai's camp in advance.

Just because he lost a jade pendant to Zhou Taibai?

Just thinking about it, Zhou Taibai suddenly stopped talking, his ears were red, he looked very embarrassed.

Li Zhi asked, only to find out that after he climbed over the wall, the way to his house was not smooth, and he was almost hit by a carriage just as he jumped off the wall.

"The next door to my new residence is full of high-ranking officials and dignitaries. I don't know how to take small roads. I don't know what happened. I happened to bump into a car."

The lady in the car was kind, she got out of the car and wanted to check his injuries, but the horses towing the cart were startled suddenly for some reason, and the lady just fell down and landed with him.

"I think it was too sudden, she...she pressed her lips to my cheek, so that she could not die, and was seen by the matchmaker who came to my house to propose a marriage, and then...then..."

Zhou Taibai was too ashamed to speak, but Li Zhi knew what was going on behind the scenes.

Ethics and ethics are strict in this era, let alone having intimate contact with men, even if ordinary women get together in private, they will be pointed at by others.

Zhou Taibai was seen cuddling with an official woman, and he was afraid that he would have to get married.

I don't know who this woman is?

"Actually, you have seen it before." Zhou Taibai said, "During the spring hunting, you woke up from a nap at noon, and I took you to see the excitement."

Li Zhi understood immediately.

Probably the woman in pink.

But her father is only from the sixth rank, and his residence is far away from the Zhou Mansion, logically speaking, he should not go there... Halfway through thinking about it, Li Zhi suddenly remembered that they must have been caught by the guards when they sneaked back to another courtyard that day Living.

Li Zhi couldn't help laughing, Long Yujin was too jealous.

Originally thought it was just a scene of excitement, Xiaoxiao just finished the matter, who knew that within a few days, the matter would still involve Li Zhi.

When Wang called Li Zhi into the palace, Li Zhi didn't realize the seriousness of the matter until he saw her handkerchief in Wang's bedroom.

She is also the aunt of the woman in pink.

"My niece has always been virtuous and virtuous, with a pure disposition. She is an excellent girl. The prince has also reached the age when it is time to talk about marriage. How about I venture to connect the two of you and get to know each other?"

Li Zhi: "...Huh?"

Aren't she and Zhou Taibai already skin-to-skin?

Why are you still thinking about him?

Before he could react, a high-pitched "Your Majesty is here—" came from behind, abruptly interrupting the matchmaking.

Her son didn't become emperor, but Wang didn't mind at all. She didn't want her son to be involved in those things, she just wanted him to be healthy and happy.Therefore, seeing Long Yujin, Wang Shi was quite happy, exchanged a few words with him, and explained the situation here.

"Xiaoqi is also at this age, and there is no one in charge at home. After all, it is not very good. What does your majesty think?"

How else do you feel?

Li Zhi didn't need to look, he just felt the terrifying coercion around him, and he knew the result.

Sure enough, Long Yujin frowned, and just said: "I don't think it's right."

Immediately afterwards, like an old lady gossiping on the street, she told about the collision between the other girl and Zhou Taibai in the street.

Li Zhi: "..."

An emperor knows this kind of thing like the back of his hand, you are afraid that others will not see the weirdness.

Mrs. Wang didn't think so much, and frowned immediately upon hearing this.

"That's really inappropriate..." Although it was an accident and not the girl's fault, it is not suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the royal family after all.

After looking at the handkerchiefs, the two had no choice but to give up this idea.

Seeing that the scheme had succeeded, Long Yu hurriedly dragged Li Zhi away under the pretext of discussing state affairs.On the way back, he also warned Li Zhi earnestly: "After all, your status is special. In the future, if it is not necessary, you should not come to the palace, lest those people who are interested will see you and provoke the relationship between you and me."

Li Zhixin said it was to avoid being introduced to a blind date by Wang, right?

Glancing at his lover's side face, Li Zhi suddenly realized that this person didn't seem to know what his feelings for him were, so he had an idea, and pulled his sleeve to lean in front of him, with a meaningful look: " Does Brother Huang really regard me as a younger brother?"

Long Yujin was startled, her breathing stopped for a moment.

But seeing Li Zhi's face moved, he said: "That's great! I thought Brother Huang hated me and didn't dare to approach me!"

Long Yujin paused, inexplicably feeling empty in his heart.

not like this.

He clearly had another voice in his heart just now, but it was so fleeting, he couldn't catch it, he just felt very sad.

Long Yujin suddenly became indifferent, and left after saying "Go out of the palace by yourself".

The author has something to say:

Li Zhi: I am only responsible for provoking, not for solving: P
