Empress work daily

Chapter 89

With a faint smile on Ji Qiang's face, he immediately waived the big gift from the three of them, and said, "You really did not disappoint me."

Zhan Jin didn't understand, what do you mean?
He came to the capital after Shangyuan, so he didn't know what happened in Shangyuan night.Hearing what Ji Qiang said, he immediately concluded that His Majesty knew Sun Jizong and Tao Guangyi.

Sun and Tao were flattered and said one after another that their results in this test were not satisfactory, which made her disappointed.

"The two lovers are humble." Ji Qiang walked down the golden ladder slowly, with an amiable attitude, "To enter this Hall of Supreme Harmony, you don't have the guts to surpass others, so what if you take the No.1 exam?"

After finishing speaking, she looked at the other person and asked about his name, place of origin, and background. Zhan Jin was so excited that he could hardly speak. Tao Guangyi and two people.

Ji Qiang smiled, but said nothing.

She touched the hairless pen and ink cartridge without ink, and finally picked up the test paper that Sun Jizong had just opened, and started to read.

The momentum of the article is still majestic, just like the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Your Majesty, I haven't finished writing." Sun Jizong said.

"Yongzhou affairs, have you finished writing?" Ji Qiang asked.

"..." Sun Jizong was speechless, and after a while he replied seriously: "Write bit by bit, and there will always be a day when it is finished."

"Articles should be written bit by bit, just as things should be done bit by bit. Writing is better than not writing. Doing is better than not doing." After a pause, Sun Jizong boldly added another sentence.

Ji Qiang praised, "A good one, writing, is better than not writing, and doing, is better than not doing."

"Sun Jizong and Tao Guangyi, the two of you left Yongzhou in such a state of embarrassment. Now that you have a chance to return home, do you two want to have it?"

When the two heard this, they knelt down together and said that they wanted to go back to Yongzhou in their dreams.

They fled the famine and came to Beijing hiding among the refugees. They left in a hurry, and their parents and relatives couldn't care about anything. They came to Beijing for several months, and they didn't know what was going on at home.Now His Majesty bestows upon them "returning home in splendid clothes", who wouldn't like it?

So Shang Liujia took a step forward and said loudly, "Sun Jizong, Tao Guangyi accepts the order!"

After reading the imperial decree, Sun Jizong was dumbfounded that His Majesty actually asked him to be the shepherd of Yongzhou!

This is the governor of a state, a top local official, and a second-rank official!

Ji Qiang brought the imperial decree in front of Sun Jizong himself, and the emperor's majesty was imposing, "This Yongzhou Mu, do you dare to do it?"

Sun Jizong had the courage to look directly at the monarch who was like the sun and the moon, slowly stretched out his hands, and said firmly: "I dare! I not only dare to do it! I also want to do my best! Satisfy your Majesty and the people of Yongzhou!"

"Haha..." Ji Qiang laughed loudly, his delicate face was too dazzling, Sun Jizong suddenly shyly bowed his head.

After a while, Ji Qiang asked Tao Guangyi again, "Does the governor of Tongshan County dare to do it? King Yong's gold mine is in Tongshan."

Tao Guangyi only took a quick glance at Ji Qiang, then lowered his head and replied, "I wish to do my best, and die only after death."

After arranging the two, Ji Qiang finally looked at Zhan Jin from Jingzhou, "Where do you want to go? What kind of official?"

Seeing Zhan Jin hesitate, she added: "I only give you this one chance."

"Your Majesty, I want to go back to Jingzhou and help Lord Qin build the Great River Canal."

This is James Jin's answer.

Surprising and comforting.

Ji Qiang agreed.

At this time, a servant came in quickly and asked Ji Qiang for orders, and the tributes who were sitting at the Palace of Preserving Harmony and waiting for the proposition were already a little anxious.

Sun Jizong was taken aback, and still remembered that when the Shang Gonggong handed down the decree, he personally said that the proposition was ready in the Palace of Baohe.

It turns out that group of people are still waiting stupidly.

Ji Qiang then handed the proposition he had prepared to the waiter. It was a small note, and the proposition on it was written by Mencius Jin, a scholar in charge of the Imperial Academy.The servant got the proposition and almost trotted all the way back to the Palace of Preserving Harmony.

Sun Jizong didn't know what the proposition was, but he was certain that it wasn't "Yongzhou".

Quietly concealing the shock in his heart, he only heard Ji Qiang say again: "Qing and others will go back to the Hongwen Museum and wait. Once the appointment documents arrive, go to the post immediately."

The three hurriedly received orders to thank them, and Shang Liujia led them out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

……

Ji Qiang came out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but did not go to the Hall of Preserving Harmony.

The imperial examination, as the name suggests, is an examination that the emperor set up an examination room and invigilated himself.

It would be strange if the emperor is not seen from beginning to end.

It's not that Ji Qiang underestimated it, it's really tossing so far. The tributes just got the proposition, and it was time to think hard or write hard. If she appeared suddenly, it would only delay the performance of the tributes. Therefore, she thought about it, or It was decided that it would be better to wait for the banquet to show up.

Mencius waited for a whole day, not knowing what happened in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the Hall of Preserving Harmony, until evening when Shang Liujia sent seventeen answer sheets to the Imperial Academy.

"Why is there only seventeen copies?" Mencius clearly remembered that there were a total of twenty Gongshi who entered the palace to participate in the palace examination.

He thought he had counted wrongly, so he wanted to count again. Shang Liujia stopped him and said, "The Great Scholars did not count wrongly. It is indeed seventeen. It's your proposition. The other three..."

Shang Liujia laughed awkwardly, "The answer sheet is written in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and His Majesty will set the questions and invigilate the exam himself."

There is such a thing!

Mencius was stunned for a moment.

"That's not right, even if there are two examination rooms, the three examinees still have to have answer sheets... But the propositions are different, so how can I judge?"

"You don't need to judge, what His Majesty means is that the three places after the seventeenth place can be given to any three of them." Shang Liujia replied boldly.

"Why?" Mencius became more and more confused as he listened.

"Because they don't care, or, in other words, they are only waiting for the letter of release and official seal from the Ministry of Officials, and they will go to their posts soon."

What is the reading test for?Of course it is an official!Your Majesty has high hopes for Sun Jizong and others, especially Sun Jizong, who came up to be a second-rank official. Although the affairs of Yongzhou are complicated, the governor of a state is not easy to say. How many years will it take to get to the position of State Shepherd.

Therefore, for Sun Jizong and the others, the ranking is really not important, even if it is the new champion, it is impossible to have a better future than him.

Shang Liujia simply told Mencius Jin about what happened in the palace examination. This gentle and elegant scholar was dumbfounded, and even when Shang Liujia asked him to leave, he didn't react much.

Shang Liujia understood very well, even he himself took a hard breath when he left the gate of the Imperial Academy, it was very difficult for him to run errands, he would ask the officials for gold at one moment, and at another moment he would come to the Imperial Academy to explain His Majesty "Forethought".

I have to go to the Ministry of Officials later. When His Majesty opened his mouth, he boldly threw out the three official positions of Mu of Yongzhou, Governor of Tongshan, and Captain of Hedi. The appointment letter and official seal need to be passed through the Ministry of Officials. to get it.

Poor Lord Jiang doesn't know about this yet!
Shang Liujia sighed secretly again, bit the bullet and walked towards the official department.
