Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 209 Cai Jing enters the palace, the assistant examiner decides.

As if she didn't notice Li Gefei's darkened face, Mrs. Li felt more and more reasonable as she spoke.

"Sir, whose child is that?"

Mrs. Li looked at Li Gefei curiously: "He can work in the imperial city at such a young age, his family should be very difficult, right? I just don't know how he treats our daughter..."

These days, when a man and a woman get married, they have to be of the same family, but this is not entirely the case. The conduct, character, and achievements of the parties themselves also account for a large part.

If it is really necessary to pursue a complete family match, it is impossible for Mrs. Li, the eldest daughter of the prime minister, to marry Li Gefei.

In fact, what Mrs. Li wanted to know was, how is that young man's conduct?If they really get married, will they treat Li Qingzhao well...

Li Gefei was silent for a moment, still pretending not to understand, he said: "His family background is not simple, and I don't know what happened to my daughter after she married?"

"Here we go again."

Mrs. Li gave him a blank look: "From the Mid-Autumn Festival to now, I have asked you so many times, and you have always been so perfunctory to me every time!"

"It's not simple, it's not simple, how can it be not simple? What do you mean?"

"This one doesn't work, and that one doesn't work either. Who do you think our daughter will marry?"

Li Gefei looked at his wife with some headaches: "Why are you in such a hurry? It's not like she can't get married?"

In fact, he was also entangled in his heart, so he couldn't make a decision.

"Why am I not in a hurry?" Mrs. Li pinched Li Gefei's arm and whispered, "If this drags on, won't she become an old lady? How will she get married then?"

"You..." Li Gefei sighed. Just as he was about to say something, Li Qingzhao's crisp voice came from the lamp stand in front of him: "Father, come quickly and see what this lantern riddle is? I can't guess it."

The girl's sullenness came and went quickly, and now she has forgotten all the unhappiness just now.

"Okay, I'll come right away." Li Gefei walked forward with a smile regardless of Mrs. Li's expression as he spoke...

The unforgettable night of Shangyuan Festival passed quickly, and the cold wind in the early morning of the next day swept away the debris of the fireworks left on the ground, and also blew away the remaining festive atmosphere in the capital.

From then on, the New Year's Eve is officially over, and it's time to get busy in the new year.

But for Li Gan, the real challenge has just begun.

Now he is busy dealing with Cai Jing's affairs all day long, and in his spare time, he has to appease the Zhongshu and the servants under his door, so that these people will not lie down completely and stop arguing with Cai Jing.

Of course, in the eyes of many ministers, this is the behavior of a gambler whose majesty the emperor is about to lose his eyes.

Now he has invested too much in this so-called deputy examiner of the general examination, and the sunk cost is too great.

But doesn't he know that the more this is the case, the worse the loss will be in the end?
If he had overlooked this matter early, how could there be a series of difficulties in the following series?
Unfortunately, it's too late now.

I just waited until the beginning of February, when the Liubu's blow woke him up, and I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor will be discouraged and depressed, and then hate the government like the first emperor...

In the mood of the ministers' anticipation, this day will come soon.

On the seventh day of February, along with the anxious wrestling of the six servants, the candidate for the deputy examiner has already been decided.

Although it has not been announced clearly, everyone knows that the final announcement is just a formality.

Today Cai Jing came to the Ministry of Rites again, and accompanied by a group of officials bowing to say hello, he came all the way to Wang Mang's duty room.

"Wang Zongbo, the candidates for all the examiners have been decided." Cai Jing said with a smile, and put an envelope document on Wang Mang's desk.

"It's really hard work, Master Cai."

Wang Mang didn't intend to touch the document at all, he stood up with a smile and said, "Since the matter has been settled, let's leave it to His Majesty to decide."

"we?"

Cai Jing was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't react.

"Of course it's us."

Wang Mang said with a fake smile: "Your Majesty can't handle it alone. If His Majesty is asked to return the list, then we have to go again."

Cai Jing was startled, laughed dumbly, shook his head and said, "Jujun, you are good at everything, but you are too cautious."

He took back the documents on the table and stood up: "Forget it, if that's the case, then the old man will accompany you for a walk."

Having said that, Cai Jing has already paid attention to it in his heart, and he understands that this is Wang Mang's dissatisfaction.

But this is also human nature, within Cai Jing's expectation.

After all, from the beginning to the end of this matter, Wang Mang has been working in vain and did not get any benefits. Now that the matter is about to end, everyone should be anxious about whoever put it on.

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient."

Cai Jingen turned his head before leaving the house, and looked at Wang Mang meaningfully: "Patience is the most important thing in being an official. Your Majesty lost this end because of his lack of patience."

Seen by Cai Jing like this, Wang Mang seemed to calm down. He took a deep breath, nodded and said, "It's my lord, I understand."

Cai Jing smiled, then turned and left.

The two of them headed north all the way, entered the palace city and came to Ziwei Hall, and handed over the message that they wanted to see each other. After a while, an eunuch came out to lead the way and led them to the palace...

Today is a special day, the ministers have been paying attention to the movements of Cai Jing and Wang Mang.

Just as Cai Jing and Wang Meng passed through the palace gate, the news spread to the outside world.At this moment, the news of their entry into Dongnuange was known by almost all the courtiers.

The servants who are interested in the position of deputy examiner are still looking forward to the final miracle, wanting to see if His Majesty the Emperor can reverse this result.Give the position of deputy examiner to someone else.

And the other officials who missed this position are closely watching His Majesty's reaction, to see whether he will become angry from embarrassment, or will just bear it...

Cai Jing and Wang Mang walked through the corridor all the way to Dongnuange's study, where they met His Majesty the Emperor.

"Chen Cai Jing, Wang Mang, see Your Majesty."

Li Qian looked at the two people below, but did not speak.

A gust of cold wind beat against the window, and the atmosphere in the study was a bit dull for a while.

After a pause of half a quarter of an hour, Li Qiancai said, "Be flat."

Wang Mang's expression was a little unnatural, but Cai Jing seemed to have nothing happened, Shi Shiran stood up: "Minister, thank you Your Majesty."

He unhurriedly took out the document just now from his sleeve, and handed it over with both hands: "Your Majesty, this is the list of the chief and deputy examiners and all the fellow examiners. Your Majesty, please have a look."

Li Gan was silent for a moment: "Bring it up."

The old eunuch took the document in Cai Jing's hand, quickly brought it to Li Qian, and looked at him worriedly: "Your Majesty..."

Li Qian took the document and just opened it and glanced at it before putting it on the table, and looked at Cai Jing with a more gloomy expression: "I disagree."
