Although Yan Sui is not as devoted to political affairs as his elder brother is, he is not a faint king who neglects the government.

This year, Jiangzhou was hit by floods and Jingzhou was in drought, and the people were suffering. He was also uneasy. After a few nights of insomnia, he caught up with the cold spring and rain in the capital, so he suffered from wind and cold.

He didn't have to go to court for two days when he was ill, so Yan Sui managed to read a few important documents.Xu Jia's memorial was indeed delivered to the imperial study table, but Yan Sui didn't open it when he heard that he went to the Taimiao first when he returned to Beijing. He only looked at the name on the envelope and threw it aside.

With a solemn expression on Yan Sui's face, he cursed in his heart——

Xu Jiashi was extremely shameless.

Others don't know what he did last night. Could it be that he is old and can't remember clearly?Or do you think this can humiliate the emperor?Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, and they have to be in pairs when they catch rape.

Old cows who eat tender grass are not ashamed, so what are the victims afraid of?

The surname Xu blamed the emperor for not knowing that he was injured, and why he didn't even take off his shirt when he was violent last night.

How serious can it hurt if you use your mind on the bed?

Mixed with shame and anger, Yan Sui blushed, clenched his fists and wanted to rush down Dan Bi, grabbing the neckline surnamed Xu and smashing him in the face.

Xu Jiashi stared straight ahead, taking a panoramic view of the shame and anger of the person sitting on the dragon chair, without the humility and obedience that a minister should have, but like a beast looking at its rebellious prey, enjoying a performance before eating——

The harder it is, the more delicious it is.

Yan Sui calmed down, in terms of fighting, he couldn't beat Xu Jiashi out of ten.

"The Regent has worked hard in disaster relief. I grant you a ten-day holiday, if not enough, half a month. If you need medicinal materials or imperial physicians, just ask the imperial hospital."

Xu Jiashi said calmly, "It's not the first time I've been injured. I know how to heal my wounds, which is better than the imperial doctor. The imperial hospital is not helpful, and even the wind and cold can't be cured for a long time. It's better for me to do it myself...Your Majesty is clear. "

Yan Sui held onto the handrail tightly and didn't answer his words. He said to Xue Huai, "The examination by the Ministry of Officials will remain the same as before, and the examination room will be located in Wenyuan Pavilion on the left of the Palace of Political Affairs. I will be the chief examiner, and I will choose each official position in the hall."

Xue Huai bowed his head: "Your Majesty is wise, and I obey the order."

Yan Sui looked at King Wu again: "Uncle Huang, you will bring King Yong'an into the palace at that time, and let him answer the same test questions in the imperial study, and hand in an answer sheet, and you will invigilate the test alone."

"Old minister..." King Wu shook his head with a bitter face.

Yan Sui pleaded earnestly: "Uncle Huang."

King Wu raised his eyes to meet the melancholy and difficult eyes of the young emperor on the dragon chair, gritted his teeth and finally responded: "The old minister obeys the order."

-

On the fifth day of the fourth lunar month, the selection of officials by the emperor's chief examiner was decided. On April [-]th, Jinshi of Jinke gathered in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Except for holidays and rest days, the emperor and all the officials discussing the state are all in the Yizheng Hall.

To the left of the Yizheng Hall is the Wenyuan Pavilion where the books are stored, and it is also the school where the Taifus of the past dynasties taught the princes and grandchildren.On the right is the training hall, where the right guards of Tengxiang, who guard the imperial city among the four guards of Tengxiang, change their guards.

Gaozong had only two sons, Yanxu and Yansui, and Yanxu had only one son, Yanzhi, who was stubborn and tired of studying. Yansui was unmarried and had no children. In recent years, this Wenyuan Pavilion was only used for collecting books, and few people set foot there.It was cleaned thoroughly before April [-]th, and Yansui still let the dust choke and cough a few times when entering Yansui.

Yan Sui was in the top position, suppressing his cough and maintaining his majesty. Through the bead curtain, he watched the officials of the official department distribute the test papers to the Jinshi who knelt in eight rows and seven rows.

The selection of officials and assignments for Jinshi used to be carried out in the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, and the emperor took the exam instead, using Wenyuan Pavilion as the examination room. This was the first time in Yansui in Chen State.

The Ministry of Officials pays attention to inspecting Jinshi's "body, speech, writing, and judgment" in order to select the best from the best and enable them to secure their jobs.

Yan Sui holds the eye in person, not because he intends to reform the system and make a difference in order to know people and make good use of it.The 56 Jinshi in front of us are selected from various states after several examinations. All of them are outstanding talents, and they can quickly adapt to any official position.

Yan Sui wants to choose a good tutor for Yan Zhi, not only must he have superior intelligence, but more importantly, he must have a noble character and be able to guide naughty children to be good.

Being an emperor is not easy.

Yanzhi can no longer just idle around as she pleases.

Half an hour after the exam time, King Wu came out from the imperial study room behind and came to Yan Sui's side, and wiped his face with his sleeves.

Before the old prince could speak, Yan Sui first saw that his gray hair on the temples had suddenly turned black, and then smelled the strong fragrance of ink.

"It's finished so quickly—Jing Yun splashed ink on you? It's outrageous!" Yan Sui frowned, "I must teach him a lesson!"

King Wu waved his hand: "You can't fight, the more you fight, the more rebellious you will be."

Yan Sui's heart sank, he really couldn't fight.Emperor Renzong only had such a single seedling left, the eldest son of the eldest son, what qualifications did he have to teach him a lesson.

"Half-year-olds are all fooling around like this, and he's not the only one out of line." King Wu glanced at the Jinshi who had agreed to take the exam, "It's not that he sincerely teased me, it's because he thought the exam was boring, so he accidentally let go of the inkstone. I made him face the wall, but he didn't talk back to me."

The King of Wu sighed under his voice: "I hope I can pick out a good tutor today. I'm already old, and I can't stand any more trouble. Your Majesty, please promise me one thing."

Yan Sui pursed her lips: "Uncle, please tell me."

"I am getting old, but I have been crowned King of Wu but have never been a feudal clan in my life. Next month, I want to go back to Wuzhou to retire."

"Why did I suddenly remember... But why did I neglect the emperor?"

"No, no." King Wu folded his hands in his sleeves, squinting his eyes slightly, "Your Majesty has done a good job. I just want to spend some time in the mountains and rivers of Wuzhou, escape the summer heat, and return to Beijing during the holidays." of."

Yan Sui lowered his eyes: "Does the uncle and his family have to leave Beijing?"

"The Cui family is going to marry a new wife. Yan Fang is busy as a mother-in-law. Yan Wei and Yan Lun are busy with their official duties, so of course they can't leave their posts without permission. The minister and the princess just go to Wuzhou, and the grandchildren are not taken with them." King Wu smiled kindly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty."

The word "rest assured" is particularly clear.

Yan Sui raised his head and looked at him: "Uncle, I didn't mean that."

"I understand." Wu Wang patted the emperor's shoulder, "I have no other intentions, just to relax. I haven't finished what I said..."

While speaking, the sound of jumping and fast footsteps came.

Yan Sui and King Wu looked at the same time, and some of the examinees looked up, and they saw Yan Zhi, who was dressed in a jade belt with ink marks all over his body, was swaying his round belly and holding his hands behind his back to patrol the examination.

"You little bastard!" Wu Wang blew his beard and stared.

Yan Sui frowned and coughed, and Yan Zhi called out "Uncle Huang" with a playful smile, turned his head and stood still facing the wall: "It's the same when you come out and face the wall."

Yan Sui sighed silently, and the King of Wu said in a low voice that only he and the emperor could hear: "I haven't finished talking about what I just asked His Majesty to agree to."

"Besides being a fan, what other wish does the emperor have?"

"It's my duty to be a feudal vassal. What I want is..." King Wu glanced at his nephew who was twisting around in the corner not far away. Yongzhou is next door again. I really have had enough of the painstaking efforts, and I want to ask His Majesty to change the fiefdom for King Yongan."

Yan Sui shuddered when he heard the words, clenched his fists involuntarily, and then slowly released his palms to press the armrest of the seat: "What the emperor said is... Yongzhou and Wuzhou are adjacent...but the emperor doesn't have to worry, Yong'an The king will not be a fan, in a few years, Zhen will—"

"Your Majesty." King Wu interrupted the emperor's words solemnly, his eyes narrowed, "I should serve as a vassal, and King Yong'an should also be a vassal after he is 15 years old. The Taifu of Yong'an Wang selected today will also go with him at that time. Eating is fun, but loyal and kind, if you teach well, you will naturally become a good assistant to the king. The choice of the Taifu today is a matter of great importance, Your Majesty knows who to choose, and the old minister will go back to the palace to change clothes."

King Wu left Wenyuan Pavilion, and what he said still echoed in Yan Sui's mind.

Since ancient times, the royal family has been indifferent. Yan Sui lost his mother and never felt the love of his father.But I was very envious when I heard that the successive emperors and empresses of the Xie family in Jingguo loved their fathers, loving their sons and filial piety.

Yan Sui's grandfather, Emperor Taizong, married Princess Jingguo, and the harem was vacant for her, and all three sons were born of the princess.Among these three sons, only Yan Sui's father, Emperor Gaozong, had no concubine room, and among the other two sons, King Wu had the most wives and concubines, and his descendants flourished.

Two years ago, at the beginning of the chaos, most of the courtiers recommended Wu Wang as the emperor.One of the reasons is that he has many heirs, so that he will not repeat the mistakes of Emperor Gaozong.Because of Xu Jiashi's efforts to overcome all opinions, King Wu claimed to be old, so Yan Sui was promoted to the throne.

Yan Sui didn't know whether King Wu wanted to be emperor or not.

How much he can believe is uncertain.

But... Yan Sui pursed his lips. Even if the emperor didn't like what he was doing, he still hoped that King Wu was telling the truth, that the uncle really treated him as a nephew, and that he really felt that he had done a good job. Well... Even if he is mediocre as an emperor, give him some selfishness and favor him.

Yan Sui lowered his eyes, and suddenly heard a commotion, looked up, and saw that Yan Zhi had moved from the corner to the center of the examination room, pulled up the answer sheet and curled his lips in disdain: "The writing is not as good as mine", and knocked over the Jinshi inkstone : "The words are so ugly!"

The Jinshi present had already heard the name of King Yong'an, so they didn't dare to fight back, they could only cover their test papers and back away again and again.

The officials of the Ministry of Officials tried to stop him, and they were afraid of hurting the young prince, so they were afraid of their hands and feet.

There was chaos in the examination room.

Seeing Yan Zhi start with the test papers of Tanhualang sitting in the first row, Yan Sui got up and quickly opened the bead curtain and went straight to the middle hall: "Stop!"

Yan Zhi was startled, stepped on a paperweight, staggered a few steps and sat down on the desk, leaving a chubby butt mark on Tan Hualang's article.

Yan Zhi was stunned for a moment, raised his bun face and smiled at Yan Sui: "Uncle Emperor...I'll go back and face the wall and think about it...I'll go back to the palace and think about it! No, no, no, I'd better go to Grandpa Wu Wang and let him supervise , Seriously reflect on and start a new life!"

Speaking of which, Yan Zhi turned over while leaning on the table, the ink was still dripping down, and ran out.

Yan Sui pulled the little fat man back by his collar: "Think you'll just leave like this? Stand up for me!"

Yan Zhi shrank his neck to pretend to be a quail, and grabbed the corner of Yan Sui's clothes to beg for mercy: "Uncle Emperor, I know my mistake! I really know my mistake! Don't dare to do it next time!"

"Do you want to have a next time? Do you know what kind of exam this is? It's an exam to select important ministers for the country, appoint officials for the people, and hire a grand tutor for you! I apologize to all Jinshi!"

"I don't want to apologize to them!" Yan Zhi curled her lips and put her hips on her hips, "They are all too poor to be my tutor. What are they writing, they are not as good as me, why should they teach me?"

The Jinshi in the audience bowed their heads and dared not speak out, but Tan Hualang looked at the little prince silently without squinting.

"Presumptuous!" Yan Sui raised his slap angrily, but his eyes fell on Yan Zhi's face, his facial features were full of his father's shadow, he was full of anger and instantly lost his position.

Yes, I can't beat it.

As a prince who was detested by the late emperor, what qualifications did he have to beat Renzong's beloved eldest son.

Yan Zhi closed his eyes while Yan Sui raised his hand, but the slap did not come down for a long time.Opening one eye and seeing that the emperor's uncle was not glaring, he felt relieved, grinned and turned around to run, but bumped head-on into the body of the regent Wang Wei'an.

The collision was not light, Yan Zhi bounced back a few steps, but fortunately Yan Sui gave him a hand so he wouldn't fall down.

"What are you running for? Have you chosen your master?" Xu Jiashi frowned at the ink stains on his waist, then looked at Yan Sui, the dragon robe was also stained with ink, "Your Majesty, it turns out that today's examination for the Ministry of Officials does not take essays. Changed to painting? It’s still splash-ink landscape painting.”

Yan Sui was originally thin and thin, and he almost knocked Yan Zhi over when he caught Yan Zhi, and was ridiculed by Xu Jiashi's words, his face was ugly.

Didn't the surname Xu mean recuperating?Only three days later, he came out to show off his power again, probably not injured at all, and played bullying the king as a joke.

Yan Zhi wilted as soon as he heard the regent's words, and curled up in Yan Sui's arms like a mouse seeing a cat, not daring to breathe.

"It's a coincidence that the regent came." Yan Sui pulled Yan Zhi's ear and lifted him behind him, "I think it's brotherhood, and I miss King Yong'an very much, and I didn't forget to personally choose the grand tutor for Jing Yun while he was recuperating. Fist The heart of love really makes me, the emperor, feel guilty and incompetent."

A few words were squeezed out from between the emperor's teeth.The Jinshi present, officials who co-examined, and the eunuchs who accompanied the emperor all bowed their heads and fell silent.

It was only then that everyone remembered that although the emperor was ten years younger than the regent, his seniority was higher.

Although they were just distant cousins ​​who couldn't be compared, logically speaking, what the emperor said was indeed true.The Regent and King Yong'an are of the same generation, and His Majesty is the elder.

But what are the benefits of acting like an elder in front of the regent?

Immortals fight, mortals suffer.

Everyone buried their heads deeper than the other, wishing they could dig a crack into the ground.

Xu Jiashi was expressionless, approaching Yan Sui, leaning over and stroking his dragon robe with his palm, the wet ink formed distorted characters under the guidance of his fingertips.

No one dared to look up and take a closer look.

But Yan Sui knew that he had written the word "批".

Xu Lian, courtesy name Jiashi.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that I am recuperating from my wounds? Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, I have already recovered. It is better to come early than to come at a good time..." Xu Jiashi straightened the belt of the dragon robe, put his hands behind his back, and looked around Wenyuan Pavilion, "Your Majesty has chosen the empress dowager." Fu? Which talent is it?"

As far as the eyes could see, all the Jinshi in the hall bowed their heads and dared not speak, only Tanhualang was as tall and straight as a pine.

Like a savior descending from heaven, Yan Sui remembered Tanhualang's name in an instant, grabbed his arm and sent him forward: "I have chosen, and Wei Yang will be the Prince of Yong'an!"

Xu Jiashi stared at Yan Sui without paying attention to Wei Yang, and slowly smiled: "Really? Think twice, Your Majesty. Tanhua needs to be outstanding in appearance, but being good-looking does not necessarily mean being a good tutor. If Your Majesty chooses someone based on appearance People, I think..."

Xu Jiashi leaned close to Yan Sui and whispered in Yan Sui's ear: "Tanhua Lang is not as beautiful as His Majesty. It is better for His Majesty to teach Yong'an King himself."

Yan Sui clenched his hands into fists, his throat was full of sweetness, and his voice was filled with almost uncontrollable anger: "Beautiful... Is it for Yan Zhi to choose Tai Tuo, or for you?"

Xu Jiashi: "Didn't your majesty say that the minister and the king of Yong'an are siblings, choosing a tutor for the king of Yong'an is the same as choosing a teacher for the minister. Why don't you teach with your majesty and let the minister gain some insight."

Yan Sui's chest heaved violently, Xu Jiashi was so shameless, it was unexpected.

Xu Jiashi was very satisfied with the little emperor's speechless appearance, took a step back, and said loudly to everyone: "Since there are test papers defaced, in order to show fairness, the examination by the Ministry of Officials will be held at a later date."

Looking at Wei Yang, Xu Jiashi said: "Tanhualang doesn't need to take the exam anymore, he will go directly to Jiangzhou Sima."

Everyone bowed their heads and said yes.

Wei Yang looked directly at Xu Jiashi for a long time, without making a sound, looked at Yan Suicai and said, "Please show me, Your Majesty."

Jiangzhou has just been flooded and is desolate and poor.Sima is even a low-ranking official, and Wei Yang's dignified pursuit of Jiangzhou's Sima is really inferior.

What's more, there are few courtiers in the court who are close to him, let alone those who dare to obey the emperor's orders in front of the regent. Yan Sui naturally wants to support Wei Yang.Regardless of how high the grade is, at least let him be a Beijing official.

Just as Yan Sui was about to speak, Xu Jiashi leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty thinks about it, except for Jiangzhou Sima, there is no other suitable official position."

It means, either be a Jiangzhou Sima, or be a commoner.

The one hand surnamed Xu covered the sky so far!

Looking at each other, Yan Sui's eyes were full of anger.

"Your Majesty, Tanhualang is waiting for you to speak." Xu Jiashi said slowly.

Yan Sui almost bit his lower lip.

But in the end, he could only nod: "Just do what the regent says!"

Xu Jia hooked his lips, and silently said to Yan Sui, "Good boy."

The author says:

The regent has some flirty words on his lips, and His Majesty is also a bit rebellious.This is a sweet article about love【Confirmation.jpg】
