[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

Song Zhizhang has always been outspoken, or he is a straightforward person on the surface. He is an old official who has been highly valued since Emperor Tianxi, and the Imperial Academy does not involve real power, so he has no interest in other people. , to be able to speak.

Since Song Zhizhang had long regarded Wang Yue as his favorite, of course he would not allow the person he fancy to run away. It would be unceremonious for him to refute Zhou Qi'an, but Song Zhizhang knew that the root was still in the emperor, otherwise Even if Zhou Qi'an is refuted, there will be many people who want to curry favor with the emperor to rob him.

Therefore, he refuted Zhou Qi'an first, and before he could speak, he cupped his hands to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty's words really made me sad. According to Your Majesty's wishes, isn't it Yu Guoyu who is busy working in the Imperial Academy all day long?" Home is useless?"

Emperor Yongning didn't dare to accept this statement, if he dared to admit it, not to mention that he was an emperor, he was a god in the sky, and his gang of civil servants could force him to admit his mistake.

Don't look at the Hanlin Academy's noble appearance, but in fact it is just a poor job, but for the literati, the Imperial Academy is their lifelong pursuit.

Emperor Yongning hurriedly laughed, and said with a smile: "Mr. Song has worked hard in the Imperial Academy, and all his actions are for the far-reaching of the country, which is of great benefit to the country and the family. Who dares to say that the actions of the gentlemen of the Imperial Academy are useless?"

Emperor Yongning said something righteously, and then said: "I have always heard that the things in the Imperial Academy are many and boring, and the conditions are difficult. It is these young students who are needed to go. I see the temperament of Wang Yuepo and Song Qing. How about going to the Imperial Academy to help Song Qing?"

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty, I will naturally agree!"

Without waiting for others to speak out against him, Song Zhizhang immediately surrendered his hands to thank him, leaving only the others to secretly scold him as an old fox.

The others were fine, but Zhou Qi'an was the only one who appreciated Wang Yue sincerely, especially when Wang Yue wrote an article on disaster relief during the college examination, which was deeply appreciated by Zhou Qi'an.

At that time, Zhou Qi'an was only the servant of the household department, and it was Zhou Qi'an who called Wang Yue over for questioning against all opinions. At that time, Zhou Qi'an had the idea of ​​recruiting Wang Yue into the household department, but Wang Yue was too young Small, secondly, he was just a young scholar, not suitable, and Zhou Qi'an was only admiring at that time, but he hadn't made an exception for Wang Yue, and Zhou Qi'an just thought it would be okay to wait, who would have thought that it would be a few years? , this matter is different from what he expected.

But after all, it was the emperor who spoke in person, and this occasion does not allow him to argue here, so Zhou Qi'an secretly regretted it for a while, and had no choice but to give up.

After deciding on Wang Yue's whereabouts, Emperor Yongning asked a few students he was interested in, and called Tu Hui over to inquire about the exam, then left Tu Hui behind, and he brought a group of ministers left.

After all, it was enough for the emperor to come and see for a whole day, and he would stay there for a whole day.

One day passed in a blink of an eye, and soon at dusk, some young officials from the Imperial Academy and the Ministry of Education came up to collect the papers, the emperor appeared again, the examinees saluted the emperor again, and the eunuchs led them in an orderly manner After exiting the main hall and leaving the palace gate all the way, the palace examination is considered to be over.

Two days later, the palace examination papers were read out, and the examiner selected the top ten papers and sent them to the emperor.

Emperor Yongning flipped through the papers and nodded in satisfaction. The top ten test papers all comprehended the word "practical". Just wait for the results of this palace test, without his troublesome guidance, those smart scholars will automatically change their styles.

"What do you think of the Qing family? I think these are all very good, but I really don't know how to arrange them."

Emperor Yongning handed over the papers he had read to several other ministers, and everyone took turns to read them. Soon after reading all the papers, several ministers had to agree with the emperor's point of view. It was indeed difficult to make a decision.

These few are all talents, they can still write such excellent articles under the circumstances of the palace examination, their knowledge and determination are all far beyond ordinary people, it is a pity that any one of them falls behind.

But they had to make their own choices.

"I see that Wang Yue can push back..." A minister suggested that before he finished speaking, Song Zhizhang would be the first to quit. Wang Yue had already decided to be his subordinate. Protecting some of his own subordinates: "I don't understand this. The way of learning has always been about ability, and has nothing to do with ranking seniority. If you say that Wang Yue is not good at learning, he needs to be ranked behind. I am convinced." Yes, but if you want to say that because he is young, he must be ranked behind, then I absolutely cannot agree!"

The man was not angry when Song Zhizhang said so much, the smile on his face did not change at all, he still smiled and said: "These people are all his seniors, shouldn't it be right to let them go?"

"Huh? Let? As seniors, they need juniors to make way. They have face? Not to mention that these people are much older than Wang Yue, but their knowledge is at the same level. It can be seen that these people are better than Wang Yue in this regard." It is much worse. Besides, if you have to give up because you are younger than others, Mr. Qin, as far as I know, there are many veterans in the personnel department who are older than you. When will Mr. Qin plan to give up your position to them? "

The old man who was called Lord Qin still smiled and said: "I know that Lord Song is protecting his subordinates, and he may be emotional for a while, but that's all I said, and Lord Song is just like that. When you hear it, why is it so serious?"

These words seemed to be ridiculed, but inside and outside the words he said that he was protecting his shortcomings, Song Zhizhang snorted coldly, the whole court knew that he was protecting his shortcomings, not just one or two, and his temper was not like this for a year or two, he said it openly and secretly What he has more is that he has never cared about this!

"It's not just today that Mr. Song protects his shortcomings. Everyone knows that his temper is just a dog's temper. If he catches anyone and bites anyone, Mr. Qin has nothing to do to provoke him!"

Although Zhou Qi'an's words were full of disgust, others could still hear his intention of defending. It was nothing more than saying that Qin Hezhou's troubles were nothing but a counterattack to Qin Hezhou's words just now, so Song Zhizhang just gave him a look, but didn't care. angry.

Zhou Qi'an didn't care about Song Zhizhang, but looked at Qin Hezhou and suggested: "They don't have any priority in their knowledge. If they force them to talk about their superiority and inferiority, it will only cause quarrels. Why don't you think about something else."

Zhou Qi'an was much more popular than the other two, and when he opened his mouth, the others echoed, and Emperor Yongning asked, "What's the best opinion of Zhou Qing's family?"

"Gao Jian can't be the one, it's just the minister's random thinking. According to Yichen, if you don't say anything else, just call Wang Yue, how about appointing him to be a Tanhua Lang?"
