Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 446 This student is stable

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was stuck in his throat, unable to swallow or spit out, it was so uncomfortable, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites really wanted to clap his hands and applaud on the spot.

The little eunuch quickly walked to the front of the imperial court, bowed his body and reported in a low voice, the emperor's eyes became brighter as he listened, and his complexion calmed down.

The people below vaguely heard the words "Guozijian" and "lame examinee", and couldn't help but prick up their ears to listen. The Minister of Rites also turned his ears to listen, and swallowed what he wanted to say on the spot, his eyes sparkling.

After listening to the little eunuch's words, the emperor glanced at the old oily people below, and signaled to the little eunuch.

The little eunuch understood, and shouted to the ministers in the palace: "There is news from the Imperial College, saying that Lian Mu, a lame examinee from the Taiyuan Mansion, has arrived and is now in the Imperial College, please show me."

"really?"

"So fast!"

Although everyone vaguely heard something, they were still shocked when they heard this. Didn't the Taiyuan Mansion say that they could not be found anywhere?

Moreover, Jingzhong only posted a notice yesterday to find the person, and the person came today?

General Zhi Changzi was shocked and said: "It's so fucking fast, those nerds in Taiyuan Mansion didn't say that this lame man ran away with a guilty conscience, why did he come so soon, he couldn't ride a thousand-mile horse?"

This question asked everyone's thoughts, and they didn't care about correcting the official's name for the scholar. Everyone looked forward to the little eunuch who had been reporting, especially the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Officials. Make sure it's not a lie about the military.

The little eunuch suddenly felt the pressure and looked up at the emperor.

The emperor nodded slightly, motioned to say bluntly, he had great expectations for the lame examinee, and he was naturally very concerned when he heard the person coming.

So the little eunuch spoke eloquently.

It turned out that the crippled examinee was not guilty, but his mother was seriously ill, so he hurried back to his residence in Beijing without waiting for the results to be released. The ox cart had a difficult journey and he just came back. He saw the official notice, so he went today I passed the Imperial College to take the exam.

That's it!

Everyone suddenly realized that this person was actually a filial son, not like the guilty person in the mouths of those troublesome candidates. These candidates are causing trouble and should be punished!
The emperor knew it in his heart, he guessed there must be a reason, and he couldn't help but have more confidence in this person after hearing what he said.

The minister of the Ministry of Rites twirled his beard and smiled gratifiedly, thinking that he was indeed the protégé he had a crush on. His mother was seriously ill and couldn’t wait for the announcement to be announced, so he hurried back. Knowing, such a disciple can't be found even with a lantern!

The expression on his face at this moment is completely different from that of the old man who was about to cry just now.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials couldn't help admiring, his vision was accurate enough, and he had already made up his mind when others were watching. For this, this son should be his disciple.

When everyone in the palace had different thoughts, the emperor asked, "How is his mother?"

General Zhichangzi came to his senses, and directly agreed: "Yes, what the hell is going on with this cripple?"

It is still the filial piety of Long Live Lord, this is the most important thing.

How to say that sentence, the son wants to support but the mother is dead, he is like this, the mother at home has long since disappeared, and if he wants to be filial, he can only burn more paper money.

Everyone immediately thought of this question, yes, if the examinee's mother had an accident, I'm afraid it would delay the examinee's future, and he would not be able to take the scientific examination or become an official, and it would be three years at the earliest.

The little eunuch was glad that he had asked one more question when he got the news, so he could only answer now: "Long Live Lord, his mother is no longer worried, but she is still a little weak and needs to be recuperated."

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials have completely settled down, and this student is stable.

The two smiled involuntarily, and between the smiles, their eyes met inadvertently, and when they stopped smiling, they each looked away, almost forgetting that there was someone who was an eyesore in front of them.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials thought for a while, and had to make plans for his future students, so he said up: "Long live, in my opinion, this candidate is open-minded. I am afraid that this case of favoritism and fraud is probably the result of the candidate from Taiyuan Prefecture. Nothing is created out of nothing, and it is not true."

When the Minister of Rites heard it, isn't that exactly what he wanted to say?It's just that he is too old to think slowly, and he will definitely say it when he comes back to his senses, but this junior has seized the opportunity.

He hastened not to be outdone, and said: "Long live, this examinee showed filial piety to his mother, which moved the old official very much. The sage said, 'If you do filial piety to your relatives, loyalty can be transferred to the king, so loyal ministers must be at the door of filial sons', it can be seen This examinee’s character. Since ancient times, there have been a lot of incidents in the imperial examinations, many of which were caused by the jealousy of the examinees. The veterans heard that most of the people who jointly made troubles were scholars who failed the exams. I think this must be due to jealousy of talented people who spread rumors."

The emperor knew it in his heart, but he still said: "We can't make any conclusions right now, let's wait until the exam."

The two ministers were a little anxious when they heard the emperor's words. As soon as they got the news, they went to the Imperial College to take the exam without hesitation at all, so what else could be wrong?
The emperor had his own considerations, the announcement had already been issued, how could he change it day and night, not to mention he wanted to see if the lame examinee could stand the test.

He raised his hand to stop what the two wanted to say, and said to the Minister of Rites, "Has the Ministry of Rites come up with a good question?"

Hearing this question, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was not in a hurry. Instead, he put on an expression of watching the show, and began to look at Fengliang.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites suddenly felt guilty, and he picked out his ears: "Ah? Long live, what are you talking about? The old minister's ears are a little hard..."

He didn't know that people would come so soon. Generally speaking, it would take a few days to send the news to Taiyuan Mansion, and it would take even more time to send the news to Jiangnan or further away, until it spreads all over the world. , passed to the candidate's ears, at least ten days and half a month passed, and then the candidate sent back the news, this time and again, it must have been more than a month?

Therefore, he was not in a hurry at all, and was still thinking slowly, thinking about what kind of questions to come up with.

At this time, when the emperor asked, he was caught off guard, so he resorted to his usual trick: pretending to be deaf.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials cursed "Shameless You" in a low voice, really wanted to spit on this old thing.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites watched his eyes, nose, nose and heart, pretending not to hear. He has been in court for so many years, and he has lived such a long time, so he doesn't care about such insults.

The emperor was too lazy to care about it, and the old man would cry if he cared about it, so he didn't have to waste time.

He knew that he hadn't come up with a good question yet, and the time was indeed too short, so he decided directly: "Then let people temporarily live in the Imperial College, and the exam will start outside the Imperial College in three days, can you hear me this time?"

While speaking, he looked at the Minister of Rites.

The Minister of Rites was very straightforward this time, bowing down swiftly and shouting loudly: "My emperor is wise!"

Three days is enough for him to come up with a question.

The emperor picked up the teacup and asked quietly, "Is there anything else?"
