Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

Jia Lian suddenly felt a sense of coercion in a daze, she was shocked suddenly, turned her head to look over, saw a bright yellow around her, her heart shivered, and she quickly sat up straight.It wasn't that he was afraid of Emperor Longwu, but that as an examinee, he couldn't be rude in front of Emperor Longwu.

Emperor Longwu naturally saw Jia Lian suddenly straighten his back, a slight smile flashed across his eyes, and continued to look at the exam paper Jia Lian had written.

Out of the corner of Jia Lian's eye, he saw that Emperor Longwu hadn't left yet, so he could only continue to straighten his back.

How does it feel to be read by the emperor?

Jia Lian said he didn't feel anything.

After all, he is not a real ancient man, and he does not have that much awe and worship of the emperor.

If it were someone else who was stared at the exam paper by the emperor like this, they would have been trembling with fright, unable to continue writing the exam paper at a loss.

Emperor Longwu was a little surprised when he saw that Jia Lian didn't have the slightest fear or fear of him standing in his position, but he was more appreciative.Knowing that he is by his side, this kid can still keep his expression on. This kind of courage and mentality is not bad.

Seeing that Emperor Longwu had been staying by Jia Lian's side, the ministers looked serious, nodded, praised, and chuckled...they all guessed in their hearts that this Jia Lian probably answered the questions very well, otherwise the emperor would not be like this happy.

After reading the first one, Emperor Longwu wanted to continue to read the second one, but seeing that Jia Lian hadn't turned it over for a long time, he had to do it himself.

Suddenly an extra hand appeared in front of him to take away his answer sheet, which startled Jia Lian, and quickly raised his eyes to look over, seeing that it was Emperor Longwu who took his exam paper, he felt relieved.

Emperor Longwu picked up the examination papers written by Jia Lian, stood aside and carefully read them one by one.The more I looked down, the more shocked I was.

Before, when writing this question in Zishan Academy, Jia Lian used two angles to write, one is "Jun" and the other is "Person". These two angles are written, but regarding the angle of [Jun], he added several aspects, such as the development of economy, politics, culture, military affairs, and the most important point is how to rule the people, how to control officials, how to control the army, As a result, the forces of all parties in the court were balanced.

Jia Lian himself did not think of these additions, but was later analyzed by the head of the mountain and asked him to add them.Shan Chang said that as an emperor, what he hopes most is a stable court, centralized power, and the common people and officials "obediently obeying".

When the ministers saw that Emperor Longwu directly picked up Jia Lian's examination paper to read, they were all very surprised, and they weighed it in their hearts, and the eyes they looked at Jia Lian changed.

Emperor Longwu looked at it very seriously, which shows that he was very satisfied with Jia Lian's answer sheet.

Jia Lian was not shocked or worried when he saw that Emperor Longwu had not returned his examination papers for a long time. After all, he had been instructed by the head of the mountain to answer his questions, so there was no need to worry.

To be honest, when he got the test paper and saw the questions, he was not only shocked, but more surprised. Surprise what?Of course, I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to pass the exam this time.

Some candidates wrote for a while, lost their train of thought, and put down their pens to think about it. From the corner of their eyes, they quietly scanned the audience and found that Emperor Longwu was standing behind them. Everyone became nervous and dared not stop writing , pick up the pen and continue writing.

Sitting next to Jia Lian was Su Mingyuan. He was No.2 in the exam. He was seated according to his ranking. He sat beside Jia Lian.

At the beginning, Su Mingyuan didn't notice the existence of Emperor Longwu, but after writing for a while, he felt his wrist was a little tired, and subconsciously glanced at Jia Lian who was sitting next to him from the corner of his eye.

When he saw that there were no examination papers in front of Jia Lian's desk, he was very surprised, and then he saw a touch of bright yellow standing beside Jia Lian, his heart trembled suddenly, and he quickly looked away from the corner of his eye, not daring to look around.

Bow your head and continue to answer the question.After writing for a while, he looked at it curiously from the corner of his eye, and seeing that smear of bright yellow still standing beside Jia Lian, Su Mingyuan felt like a stormy sea in his heart.

Jia Lian didn't know what Su Mingyuan, who was sitting next to him, was thinking about. He was thinking about when Emperor Longwu would return the exam papers to him and then leave his side.He has been sitting upright, very tired.

The palace examination lasted for one day, and naturally there was no rest time or meal time in between.

After a while, at noon, Emperor Longwu was going to eat, so he returned the examination paper to Jia Lian, and then left the hall.

Seeing that Emperor Longwu had finally left, Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately relaxed his back.If it weren't for the minister watching, he really wanted to lie on the table.

"Your majesty, you seem to be in a good mood?" Seeing that Emperor Longwu was eating with gusto, Li Jinzhong couldn't help asking.

"You're right, I'm in a good mood." Thinking of Jia Lian's answer, Emperor Longwu felt more and more satisfied with Jia Lian.

"Your majesty, you have such a good appetite today, why don't you have another bowl of soup." Usually the emperor refrains from eating, and never eats less or more. He always feels that it is wrong. What if you are not full.

"Okay." Sure enough, this kid Jia Lian did not disappoint him. To be precise, this kid surprised him too much.

After lunch, Emperor Longwu didn't go back to Baohe Hall, but took a nap first.Emperor Longwu attached great importance to health preservation, and would take a nap every day.

At this time, Jia Lian, who was in the Hall of Preserving Harmony, was also "taking a nap".

Jia Lian lowered his head, pretending to be reading the examination paper, but actually dozing secretly.I didn't sleep much last night, and it wasn't light in the morning, so I was really sleepy to be honest.

When Emperor Longwu woke up and went to the Hall of Preserving Harmony, seeing Jia Lian taking a nap, he couldn't help laughing, this kid is really confident.

Jia Lian suddenly heard footsteps, woke up suddenly, and quickly sat up straight.From the corner of the eye, he saw a flash of bright yellow behind him, and then saw Ming Huang staying next door to him——Su Mingyuan.

Su Mingyuan had just finished his answer and was checking, when he suddenly saw a touch of bright yellow appearing beside him, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly sat up straight, not daring to move.However, from his breathing, it could still be seen that he was nervous.

Jia Lian hoped that the time would pass faster, while the other candidates hoped that the time would go slower and slower.

No matter what everyone expects in their hearts, time goes by little by little according to its trajectory.

At the end of the application period, the palace examination was over, and the soldiers came to collect the examination papers.

Jia Lian sighed in his heart, it's finally over... finally liberated...

He sat for most of the day, unable to move around, unable to look around, unable to sleep on the table, but he was very uncomfortable.

After collecting the examination papers, the candidates saluted Emperor Longwu and left.

On the way out of the palace, Jia Lian was thinking about something, and he always felt that the emperor's voice was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.When saluting in the morning, he heard the voice of the emperor and felt familiar. He thought it was an illusion, but when he just saluted, he heard the voice of the emperor again, and he still felt familiar. Where did he hear it?

Ming Wanju didn't know when Jia Lian walked over, raised his hand and patted his shoulder lightly, and called softly, "Brother Lian."

Jia Lian recovered from his thoughts, looked up at Ming Wanju, and smiled at him: "Brother Wanju."

"Just now I saw you looking preoccupied, what's the matter?" Ming Wanju asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I just feel hungry." Just as Jia Lian finished speaking, his stomach began to growl in a cooperative manner.

Ming Wanju suppressed a smile and said, "I'm also very hungry."

"Brother Wanju, how did you do in the exam?" Jia Lian and Ming Wanju have a close relationship, and they would casually ask how they did when they met after the exam.

"I think it's okay." Ming Wanju looked at Jia Lian, "I saw that you wrote it early, how is it, are you confident that you will be the champion?"

Jia Lian said modestly: "I have a little confidence that I can pass the exam."

Ming Wanju raised his hand and lightly tapped his shoulder, and said with a smile, "I saw the emperor standing by your side for a long time, your boy has a very high chance of winning the first prize in the exam."

Jia Lian smiled: "I hope I can pass the exam."

The two walked and chatted quietly.Soon, they reached the gate of the palace, and saw many carriages parked at the gate.

Jia Lian quickly found his carriage, talked to Ming Wanju and left.

After getting into the carriage, Jia Amnesty gave Jia Lian a few warm meat buns: "You're hungry, hurry up and eat a few buns to fill your belly."

Jia Lian took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, and the smell of meat immediately filled the carriage, making him even hungrier, and he finished a meaty bun in three or four bites.After eating four buns in a row, Jia Lian felt less hungry.

Jia Amnesty waited for Jia Lian to finish eating the steamed stuffed bun, and asked impatiently, "How are you doing, have you seen the emperor?"

Jia Lian drank two cups of tea in a row before replying: "Of course I saw it, but because I couldn't look directly at Longyan, I didn't see what the emperor looked like."

"It's good to see the emperor." Jia She asked again, "How did you do in the exam?"

In front of his own father, Jia Lian was not so modest, and said very directly: "Without accidents, I will be the champion."

Seeing that Jia Lian was full of confidence when he said this, Jia Amnesty couldn't help being surprised.When this kid was asked how he did in the previous exams, he said that there were not many problems in the exam, but he was not sure if he passed the exam.However, this time, the kid directly said that he was able to pass the exam, so it seems that he did well in the exam.

"So confident that you can win the first prize?"

Jia Lian nodded, and said confidently: "Yes!" His essay was revised under the guidance of the head of the mountain himself, so how could he not be the champion.

"Okay, if you win the first prize, I will reward you." Jia Amnesty asked with a smile, "What do you want?"

Jia Lian thought for a while, then shook his head: "I haven't thought of it yet, I'll tell you when I think of it."

"Row."

"However, Dad, you can't show off around before the results come out."

Jia She gave his son a blank look, and said angrily, "Are your father and I so stupid?"

Jia Lian suddenly thought of Jia Zhu returning from Zhuangzi today, and asked, "Is Jia Zhu recovering from illness when Jia Zhu came back from Zhuangzi today?"

When Jia Zhu was mentioned, Jia Amnesty frowned slightly: "No."

Jia Lian saw that his cheap father's expression was not right, and asked suspiciously: "What happened?"

"I'm seriously ill."

Jia Lian didn't ask any more questions, and asked Mother Zhao and the others when they got back. They should know better.

Back at Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian clearly felt that the atmosphere in the mansion was a bit different, how should I put it, felt a little depressed.

Shaking his head, Jia Lian didn't think about what happened for the time being, and went to eat first.

When they came to Jia She's house, Mrs. Xing was waiting early in the morning.Seeing Jia Lian and Jia Amnesty coming back, he hurriedly ordered food to be served.

The dishes on the table were basically Jia Lian's favorite dishes, and he was not polite, and ate them heartily.

After eating, Mrs. Xing asked Jia Lian a few words with concern.

When Jia Lian returned to his room, Feng'er immediately brought him a cup of tea.

"Young Master, Eldest Young Master is probably dying." Before Jia Lian could ask, Mammy Zhao spoke first.

Jia Lian who was drinking tea was accidentally choked when she heard this, took the handkerchief from Feng'er, wiped the tea from her mouth, and looked at Mother Zhao with a surprised face: "Jia Zhu is dying soon. ?”

Zhao Momo nodded lightly: "Young master came back this morning and seemed to be fine, but suddenly passed out in the afternoon, the old lady hurriedly asked someone to invite Dr. Zhang over, who said that the young master's pulse was weak, I'm afraid there is not much time left."

Although he knew that Jia Zhu would not live long, Jia Lian's heart became a little heavy when he heard that Jia Zhu was going to die.He didn't like Jia Zhu, but he never thought of Jia Zhu's death.

"Didn't you go to Zhuangzi to relax? Why did you take your illness seriously?"

"The young lady said that the young master went to Zhuangzi and was depressed all day long."

Jia Lian thought to himself that if he was depressed all day long, he would only make his condition worse. No wonder he didn't take care of himself well.

"The second wife blamed the old lady for not letting the young master go to Zhuangzi, saying that Zhuangzi is not good here, and it is not good there."

"She came back early if she didn't like it, why wait for someone to pick them up before coming back?"

"The second wife said that no one was sent to pick them up, so they dare not come back."

Jia Lian frowned slightly: "What does she mean?"

"The old lady was very angry when she heard the second lady say that." Zhao Nanny said, "The meaning of what the second lady said is as if the old lady drove them to Zhuangzi."

Hearing this, Jia Lian's hair was full of black lines, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Does she have no brains?" Didn't the old lady let Jia Zhu go to Zhuangzi to recuperate for Jia Zhu's benefit? Why did she come to his second aunt? Just turning into an old lady and driving them to Zhuangzi, this brain circuit is really powerful.

"The second master is also very angry."

"It seems that Jia Zhu didn't recover from his illness this time, thanks to his second aunt."

"Guess so."

Jia Lian shook his head and said, "Forget it, their affairs have nothing to do with us."

At this time, Jia's mother discussed with Jia Zheng to buy more good ginseng to extend Jia Zhu's life.Their family is not short of money, but a good ginseng is not easy to buy.

They thought to themselves, if they bought ginseng and gave it to Jia Zhu to drink, if they drank too much, their health would get better, and maybe they would be fine.

"I need to buy ginseng, but I also want to celebrate happiness." Jia's mother thought that Jia Zhu was seriously ill a few years ago and almost died. Later, she arranged a marriage for him to celebrate happiness, and she immediately got better. "Give Zhu Geer an aunt."

Jia Zheng didn't object: "It's good for the mother to make the decision."

"I've already chosen Zhu Ge'er before, so I raised the maid who has been serving Zhu Ge'er as an aunt. I made it a little more grand and set off more firecrackers to cheer me up."

"Yes."

"Your daughter-in-law, you have to talk about it carefully." Jia's mother was furious when she mentioned Mrs. Wang. She kindly asked Brother Zhu to go to Zhuangzi to relax, but the second daughter-in-law accused them of driving them to Zhuangzi.

At the mention of Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng's face became sour, and anger flashed in his eyes: "Mother, don't worry, my son will teach her a good lesson." He actually said that he and his mother drove her and Brother Zhu to the Zhuangzi.

"It's an auspicious day in two days, so let's take care of this matter and let your wife prepare it." Originally, Mother Jia should have told Mrs. Wang about these things.But during the day, Jia Mu was very angry with Mrs. Wang, and she didn't want to see Mrs. Wang for the time being, so she had to discuss the matter with Jia Zheng.

"it is good."

After Jia Zheng left, Mother Jia sighed heavily: "What's wrong with this?"

Lai everyone comforted and said: "Old lady, you don't have to worry too much, after you give the Eldest Young Master a happy event, the Eldest Young Master will definitely get better."

"I hope that after this congratulations, Brother Zhu will recover quickly, and there will be no illness or disaster in the future." Jia Mu didn't want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person.

"Old lady, you can rest assured. After congratulations, the young master will definitely recover and give you a white and fat great-grandson."

Mother Jia was amused by Lai's words, and she felt a little better.

Seeing that Jia's mother's mood improved, Lai everyone reminded her: "Old lady, Master Lian is back from the imperial examination."

"Brother Lian is back, I don't know how he did in the exam this time?" Because Jia Zhu was seriously ill, Jia's mother was anxious and worried, and for a while she forgot about Jia Lian who was going to take the palace exam.If it wasn't for everyone's mention, she really couldn't remember it.

"Master Lian passed the Huiyuan exam before, and this time the palace exam will definitely not be bad."

"If brother Lian wins the first prize in the exam, he can also give joy to brother Zhu. Double happiness, brother Zhu will definitely get better."

Everyone Lai heard Jia's mother say this, and complained silently in his heart. With the young master's narrow-minded temperament, when he heard that Master Lian won the first prize in the exam, he might vomit blood and pass out like before, which made his condition worse.

After Jia's mother said this, she seemed to think of Jia Zhu hearing that Jia Lian vomited blood and passed out when she passed the Jieyuan and Huiyuan exams, so she shut her mouth, with a helpless expression, and didn't say this again.

With Zhu Ge'er's temperament, hearing that Lian Ge'er won the first prize in the examination, I'm afraid it will be even more uncomfortable.

The next day, Jia Lian went to pay his respects to Jia's mother, and was asked by Jia's mother with concern.

After Jia Lian greeted Jia Mu, he went to Jia Zhu's yard to visit Jia Zhu.

"What are you doing here, broom star? Didn't you hurt Brother Zhu enough? Do you still want to kill him?" Mrs. Wang ran out of the house when she heard that Jia Lian was coming, and scolded Jia Lian directly.

When Jia Lian heard Mrs. Wang calling him a bastard, his eyes suddenly became very cold. Just when he was about to fight back, he heard Jia's mother's angry scolding from behind him.

"Wang Shi, shut up!"

"Aren't I right?" Mrs. Wang screamed, "Brother Zhu is doing what he is doing now because of him."

When Jia Lian heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up into a sneer: "Second Aunt, why did I harm Eldest Brother? Did I curse Eldest Brother like you, or did I poison Eldest Brother?"

"Maybe you put a curse on Brother Zhu, otherwise how could Brother Zhu fall ill?"

"Since the second aunt thinks that I have cast a curse, why don't you report to the officials and let the governor of Jingzhao come for trial." Jia Lian looked at Mrs. Wang coldly, "By the way, tell the governor of Jingzhao that you cursed me before. .”

Hearing the word "Reporting Officer", Mrs. Wang's expression froze, and a look of horror flashed in her eyes.

"By the way, although the results of the palace examination have not yet come out, I am now a Gongshi. Second Aunt, do you know what it is to frame Gongshi casually?" Jia Lian said with a gentle smile and a kind tone , "Framing Gong Shi will be imprisoned for five years, Second Aunt, do you want to go to prison for five years?"

Mrs. Wang was frightened by Jia Lian's words, and her face was horrified.

"Second aunt, you have lived a long time, what should be said and what should not be said, do you still need me, a junior, to teach you?" Jia Lian said sarcastically.

Mrs. Wang was so angry at Jia Lian's words that she pointed at Jia Lian with shaking fingers, "You..."

"As a younger brother, I came to visit my eldest brother with good intentions, but I was framed by you, my second aunt." Jia Lian said mockingly, "It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin." If you don’t welcome me, I won’t go in to visit my elder brother, and I’ll leave first.”

"Go."

When Jia Lian left, Mother Jia scolded Mrs. Wang severely.

Mrs. Wang was not convinced at first, saying that Jia Mu was partial to Jia Lian, and Jia Mu was so angry that she almost fainted.

Jia Mu sneered and said, "If you are dissatisfied with my mother-in-law, go back to Wang's house."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she became frightened, and begged Mother Jia for mercy: "Mother, I was wrong. I have been going crazy for the past two days because Zhu Ge'er's illness has worsened, so I said such stupid things."

Mother Jia was too lazy to talk to Mrs. Wang, if it wasn't for the fact that Mrs. Wang was the mother of Jia Zhu and Jia Baoyu, she would have driven Mrs. Wang back to the Wang family.

When Mrs. Wang saw that Jia's mother ignored her, she felt uneasy and kept pleading for herself.

Mother Jia was impatient with what she said, so she interrupted her and said, "You are going to make preparations in the next two days, and make the maid next to Brother Zhu into an aunt, and make Brother Zhu happy."

"Master told me about this matter, I'm already preparing, and it can be arranged today."

"It will be done tomorrow at an auspicious time."

"Yes."

Mother Jia looked at Jia Zhu, talked to Jia Zhu in a soft voice for a while before leaving.

Mrs. Wang went to prepare for Aunt Na's affairs tomorrow. Generally speaking, Aunt Na would not hold a happy event, but this time it was to celebrate Jia Zhu, so it had to be a little more grand.

On the auspicious time of the next night, Jia Zhu's personal maid was sent into Jia Zhu's room in a happy attire.The main courtyard of Rongguo Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and a lot of firecrackers and fireworks were set off, making it a joyous occasion.

Perhaps Chongxi was really useful. After accepting the concubine, Jia Zhu's spirit improved.Originally, I couldn't even sit up from the bed, but now I can sit up.

Seeing that Jia Zhu's complexion had improved a lot, Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang hurriedly sent someone to invite Dr. Zhang.Doctor Zhang said that Jia Zhu's pulse has stabilized a lot, and his condition has begun to improve.

After hearing this, Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang clasped their hands together and bowed in the air, thanking the Buddha and Bodhisattva for their protection.

What happened to the second room, the first room soon knew.

Hearing that Jia Zhu was well, Jia Lian was very surprised, thinking that being happy is so useful?A few years ago, Jia Zhu was seriously ill and almost died. The old lady arranged a marriage for him to make him happy, and he will be healed immediately.This time Jia Zhu was seriously ill again, and the old lady gave him a aunt's congratulations, and he got better again. This is a bit too miraculous and unscientific.However, Jia Lian was relieved when he thought of the gods in the original novel of the Red Chamber.

Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion, including Jia Zhu himself, thought that the congratulations had healed his illness.But they forgot that there is a word called back to the light.

After the palace examination, three hundred tributes began to wait anxiously for the announcement of the results.

The results of the palace examination are usually announced after five days.Although there are very few people participating in the palace examination, the method of marking and correcting papers is much more complicated than the previous general examination. In addition, the results of the palace examination are very important, and they must be carefully reviewed over and over again, so it will be very slow.

It took four and a half days, and the ministers who marked the examination papers finally finished marking the [-] examination papers.The ministers who checked the papers selected the top ten, and then showed it to Emperor Longwu for a review. Emperor Longwu personally determined the order of the champion, the second place, the candidates and the top seven candidates.

Emperor Longwu opened the top ten examination papers presented by the grading ministers, and saw Jia Lian's examination paper ranked first among the ten without any surprise.If the ministers who checked the papers did not put Jia Lian's examination papers first, Emperor Longwu would have to wonder if the ministers who read the papers were playing favoritism and cheating.

Opening Jia Lian's examination paper, he found that there were twenty circles on his examination paper.There were [-] ministers who reviewed and corrected the examination papers this time. When they reviewed the examination papers, they drew circles when they encountered the best ones.

When the ministers checked the papers, they read them in turn, and then they each drew five marks on the test papers: circle, point, dot, straight, and cross, and the one with the most circles was the best paper.

There are twenty circles on Jia Lian's examination paper, which means that the twenty ministers who reviewed the examination paper all think that his writing is the best.It is not common for all the ministers who mark the papers to circle the same test paper. After all, some ministers think that the writing is good, and some ministers think that the writing is not good.However, this time the ministers all circled Jia Lian's examination paper, which shows that they have the same views this time.

Emperor Longwu was a little surprised, and then felt that it was normal. If a minister did not circle Jia Lian's examination paper, he would ask the minister what Jia Lian did wrong.

Jia Lian, who is placed first, is worthy of the name.The number one scholar in this palace examination has already been decided.

Emperor Longwu then scrolled down, and the second one was Ming Wanju. There were seventeen circles and three points on his examination paper.The third place is Su Mingyuan, and his test paper also has [-] circles, two points, and one dot.The fourth place is Yan Jingyun. His test paper has fifteen circles, three points, and two dots.

After reading it, Emperor Longwu sent Li Jinzhong to bring the ministers in.Naturally, the ministers were not the twenty ministers who reviewed the papers before, but the ministers who played an important role in the court.

The twenty ministers who checked the test papers went back to rest after marking the test papers.They did not sleep for four days and nights to review the test papers.

The ministers called by Emperor Longwu included Yan Taishi, Diange Grand Master, Shao Shi, and co-organizers.

The eunuchs handed the ten test papers to the ministers, and the ministers read them in turn.

What Grand Master Yan got was the examination paper of his grandson Yan Jingyun, seeing that his grandson only had fifteen circles, he felt a little dissatisfied.

The scholar of Diange got the examination paper of his grandson Ming Wanju, and he was very satisfied when he saw that his grandson had seventeen circles.When I saw my grandson's answer, I also felt very bad.

When Taishi Yan saw twenty circles on Jia Lian's examination paper, he was very shocked and hurriedly saw Jia Lian's answer.After reading it, there are twenty circles on Jia Lian's examination paper, and there is no objection.

The grand scholar of Diange got Jia Lian's examination paper and saw that there were twenty circles on his examination paper. He was as shocked as Grand Master Yan.Because his grandson Ming Wanju and Jia Lian are classmates, he often hears about Jia Lian from his grandson. He knows Jia Lian a little bit, is smart, studious and hardworking.He had seen Jia Lian's examination papers for the provincial and general examinations before, and his answers were really good, and he had a good impression of Jia Lian in his heart.

Seeing Jia Lian's answer now, the Diange University scholar's favor for Jia Lian has increased a lot.This Jia Lian is even better than he imagined.

Emperor Longwu saw that the ministers had finished reading the papers, and asked, "What do you think?"

Grand Master Yan stood up, bowed to Emperor Longwu, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have no objections."

The Grand Master of the Diange also stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no objections."

Several other ministers stood up one after another, expressing that they had no opinion.

"Since all the lovers have no objections, then it's settled."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Emperor Longwu suddenly asked: "What do you love Qings think of Jia Lian's answer?"

Grand Master Yan: "As expected of Mr. Feng's students." Mr. Feng is Emperor Longwu's uncle, this sentence not only complimented Mr. Feng, but also flattered Emperor Longwu.

Grand Bachelor of the Diange: "Water can carry a boat and also capsize it. The emperor's question is very clever. This sentence is very simple to understand, but it covers a very wide range. After reading the examination paper, I found that the first ten Candidates all answered the questions from the perspective of [jun] and [common people], but no one went into depth from the perspective of [jun]. However, Jia Lian went deep into the aspect of [jun], and he wrote several aspects about how [jun] Governing the country and treating the common people are written in great detail. If I didn’t know that Jia Lian was a student, I would have thought that Jia Lian had been an official for decades.”

Other ministers echoed: "It's really hard to imagine that this is a test paper written by a 15-year-old student, and someone like Weichen would not be able to write such an answer."

Grand Master Yan concluded: "Mr. Feng is very knowledgeable, and the students he teaches are naturally extraordinary."

"Teacher Yan is right, the students taught by my uncle are naturally not bad."

The ministers present here are all thinking about the same thing in their hearts, which is to find a way to bring Jia Lian to their camp.

This Jia Lian is incredible. First of all, he is the champion of the new division.Second, he is a student of Mr. Feng.Thirdly, he was appreciated by Emperor Longwu.If you draw him into your own camp, it will be even more powerful.

Jia Lian, who was painting at home, suddenly sneezed and shook his hand accidentally, and a long line appeared on the picture.

Jia Lian rubbed his nose, saw a line appeared on the screen, and the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely, damn it, it was only a few strokes away, but it was destroyed by this line.

I had no choice but to redraw the painting. Jia Lian's painting was intended to be given to Mr. Jiang Run.Before the imperial examination, Mr. Jiang Run gave him a painting, and he had to paint one back.

I didn't know who was talking about him just now?

Probably Second Aunt and the others again.

Jia Lian didn't know that his champion had been decided.

After Emperor Longwu discussed with his ministers the candidates for the No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], No. [-], and the top seven candidates for the Second A, he saw Mr. Lin came back.

Mr. Lin walked into the imperial study room and asked directly, "Did Jia Lian win the first prize?"

"Why did you come back?" Don't blame Emperor Longwu for making a fuss, but the Supreme Emperor has been traveling around since he retired. He finally returned to the capital a few years ago, but he lived in the countryside of the capital and did not come back. He persuaded him several times to no avail. But this time the Supreme Emperor came back suddenly, can you not surprise him?

The Supreme Emperor glared at Emperor Longwu: "Why, I can't come back?"

"I called you back before, didn't you want to come back, why did you come back this time?"

The Supreme Emperor was too lazy to answer his son's question, so he asked again: "Did Jia Lian get the first prize in the exam?" In the past few days, he was a little impatient waiting in the countryside, so he came back directly to ask the result.

When Emperor Longwu heard this question, he instantly understood why the old man came back suddenly, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, so he handed Jia Lian's examination paper to the old man.

"I thought you were thinking of your son and your mother, so you came back. I didn't expect you to come back for Jia Lian."

Ignoring his son's resentful eyes, the Supreme Emperor took Jia Lian's examination paper and read it.When he finished reading, he burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, this kid really didn't disappoint me." He found that he really underestimated this kid Jia Lian, and the answer sheet was really well written.

"He was taught by my aunt himself, so naturally he won't be bad." Emperor Longwu suddenly thought that the old man was special to Jia Lian, and even his uncle was different from Jia Lian, which made him a little jealous.

"That nerd in Yutang is not bad, but if Jia Lian is not smart, no matter how much he teaches, it will be useless."

Emperor Longwu: "..."

"This kid won the first prize and six yuan in the exam. How do you plan to reward him?"

"What are your thoughts?"

"Give him a better mansion, and give him a hot spring village. This kid likes hot springs. He went to the hot springs with me before, and said that he also wants to have a hot spring village in the future."

When Emperor Longwu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched violently: "..."

"That kid is always worried that he will starve to death when he moves out of the house, so you reward him with a piece of land."

"I'll reward him with a few more shops." Emperor Longwu said angrily.

After hearing the words, the Supreme Emperor thought it was a good idea: "Then you can reward him with a few more shops."

Emperor Longwu: "..." Actually, Jia Lian is the grandson of the old man.

"I heard that An He asked you to give him a marriage, and he wanted to give Jia Lian a marriage to his daughter."

Emperor Longwu nodded slightly: "Yes."

"You didn't agree, did you?"

Emperor Longwu shook his head slightly: "Didn't you say you wouldn't let me give Jia Lian a marriage, so I rejected Anhe."

The Supreme Emperor nodded in satisfaction: "You are right to refuse, Yi Anhe, and the virtues of his four sons, Jia Lian married his daughter, and he still doesn't know what it is like to be made difficult."

"Old man, tell me, is Jia Lian your grandson?" Emperor Longwu said in a sour tone, "I've never seen you care so much about my son?"

The Supreme Emperor sneered: "Your sons don't have any good things."

Emperor Longwu retorted: "The second child is not bad."

"The second child is not bad, but he doesn't need my concern." When his grandsons saw him, they all looked obedient and flattering. If you dare to tell him, you will play chess with him, and you will blush and have a thick neck in arguing with him.

"Jia Lian is my appetite."

"Jia Lian will know my identity tomorrow, and he will know yours at that time. Do you think he can still treat you like before?" Emperor Longwu could guess why the Supreme Emperor liked Jia Lian.

When the Supreme Emperor heard this, he frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "That kid will."

"How is it possible?" Emperor Longwu thought it was impossible, "Otherwise I'll bet you."

"it is good."

"I bet Jia Lian will change his attitude towards you. If I win, you will go back to the palace."

"What if I win?"

"If you win, I promise you one thing."

"it is good."

"You're doomed."

The Supreme Emperor smiled and waved his hands: "I'm sure I'll win." He had known Jia Lian for several years, and he knew the boy's temperament clearly.This kid has no concept of dignity, and thinks that all people are equal.Even if he learned that he was the Supreme Emperor, he would not change his attitude.

Emperor Longwu didn't understand where the Supreme Emperor's self-confidence came from. Anyway, he felt that the old man was doomed.

"You don't want me to give Jia Lian a marriage, so you've found someone for him?" The old man really thought about that kid, Jia Lian, and even helped him find a marriage.

"The second cousin, that girl is nice."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Longwu raised his hand and patted his head, with an expression of "I didn't expect that".

The Taihuang glanced at his son with contempt: "You really didn't think of it."

Emperor Longwu's expression was awkward: "I really didn't expect that."

"The second child also has contacts with Jia Lian."

"I know this, but I didn't expect Jia Lian to be good at painting."

"He's a lot better than you think."

Emperor Longwu was speechless: "Just admit that Jia Lian is your grandson outside the palace."

The sixth day after the end of the palace examination is the day when the results are announced.
