Chapter 210 The Emperor's Rain and Dew

What Zhao Changping meant was simple.

If you really want to participate in Chen Shang, then he, the servant of the household department, will come to participate.

And when that time really came, it would be more than a simple test. Either Yang Jingzong endured it, or Yang Xiang's family and Ganquan Academy's family officially started a war.

Even so, to a certain extent, one of the goals of the little emperor can be achieved, but Zhao Changping, a courtier like Zhao Changping, is definitely not as easy to control as Shen Yi. If one fails, the little emperor may overturn.

After losing his temper, the little emperor sat down in his seat angrily. After feeling sulky for a while, he said slowly, "Gao Ming."

Eunuch Gao bowed his head: "The servant is here."

The little emperor bowed his head and said: "Go to the Hanlin Academy to find a Hanlin, and compile Chen Shang's affairs into the residence newspaper. I have been in power for almost a year. It's time to test Old Man Yang's attitude."

Gao Ming nodded: "Your servant obeys."

"also."

His Majesty the Emperor said slowly: "Shen Yi, don't force him to write a residence report. You can spare some time to reward him with something to appease him."

The still immature emperor finally calmed down: "The people in Ganquan Academy are very fond of him. They won't be able to use it this time, but they will probably be able to use him one day in the future."

Gao Ming bowed his head, the eunuch hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, the provincial examination will be announced in a few days, and the results should be available now. Would you... want to ask about Shen Yi's provincial examination results?"

"Interfering" means interference.

The emperor bowed his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, this is the first subject after my personal administration. We need to select some talents for the imperial court, and the state will hold a grand ceremony, so let's just ask. It's good for him to be successful, not to be inferior." Just one subject."

The township examination and the general examination are consecutive exams. Although generally speaking, the Chunwei general examination is counted as one subject, but it is the Jiankang rural examination after all, so it can barely be counted as one subject.

Generally speaking, the emperor attaches great importance to the first subject after ascension to the throne. After all, these admitted Jinshi will become the cornerstone of the new dynasty. However, in the past few years, the little emperor has been in the state of mascot until this year. He just started to take over Chaoshi, so this subject can be regarded as the first subject of his career.

Gao Ming lowered his head.

"The servant understands."

……

In a blink of an eye, the time came to November in the sixth year of Hongde. The weather in Jiankang was getting colder and colder every day. The two Xu Jis on the banks of the Qinhuai River were stringing incense, and the business was getting better and better.

At this moment, there was only one day left before the release of the results of the township examination, Shen Yi had nothing to do, went to Xu Fu's shop to inspect, had dinner by the way, sat down and had a drink with Xu Fu.

Although Shen Yi is not very old, after arriving in Jiankang, he was taken by Zhang Jian and Zhao Jizhou. In fact, he drank a few drinks and gained some experience in the wine table. He also brought Xu Fu, a newcomer to the wine table, along the way.

Since they were not outsiders, they didn't drink much. After the two drank a pot of wine, Shen Yi got up and left, walking towards his home in the dark.

He lived not far from the Qinhuai River, and within only one stick of incense, he walked to the entrance of the alley, and as soon as he turned in from the alley, he saw a purple sedan chair parked at the door, and two slightly standing on both sides of the sedan chair. A bowed young man in blue.

These two young men bent slightly subconsciously, and their movements were very standard.

Shen Yi has seen this kind of person before, and he can recognize the characteristics of this kind of person at a glance.

Palace people.

As the saying goes, it is the eunuch.

Shen Yi shook his head, sobered up, then strode up to the sedan chair, Shen Yi cupped his hands and said, "Which father-in-law is it?"

During this period of time, especially in the past half a month, Shen Yi has come into contact with many people in the palace, especially that Eunuch Qian from the mansion newspaper department. up.

The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted by a corner, and the tall eunuch with a calm face came out of the sedan chair shortly. After seeing Shen Yi, Eunuch Gao looked at Shen Yi with a smile on his face: "Mr. Shen is definitely back."

After seeing Eunuch Gao, Shen Yi's expression became serious, and he said, "Eunuch Gao has something to do, just ask someone to come over and give a note, why did you come in person?"

Eunuch Gao had a faint smile on his face: "Your Majesty personally ordered it, so don't pretend to be someone else."

Shen Yi nodded quickly, walked to the door of his house, reached out to knock on the door, and at the same time turned around and smiled at Gao Ming: "Please, Eunuch Gao."

Soon, Ping'er came over and opened the door for Shen Yi. She recognized Gao Ming, and when she saw Gao Ming, she immediately shrank her head, bowed to Eunuch Gao, and then hid behind Shen Yi, not daring to see anyone.

Seeing this, Gao Ming smiled hoarsely: "It seems that these two little girls have a good life with Mr. Shen, and they are starting to snuggle up."

Shen Yi smiled, but did not speak.

Soon, Shen Yi invited Gao Ming to the living room at home, and the maid Qing'er quickly brought hot tea. After the two of them sat down and drank the tea, Gao Ming looked at Shen Yi, smiled and said, "Mr. How is it written?"

Shen Yi smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "Eunuch Gao, I really have run out of talents."

Eunuch Gao didn't talk nonsense, and smiled directly: "You don't need to write about Chen Shang's affairs."

Shen Yi let out a long sigh of relief, and also smiled and said: "After hearing what my father-in-law said, I suddenly have a spring of writing and thinking. Tomorrow at the latest, I will be able to hand in the manuscript."

Eunuch Gao laughed, and said, "Young Master Shen is really a wonderful person."

Gao Ming laughed for a while, then restrained his smile a bit, and said slowly: "Okay, let's get down to business."

Eunuch Gao said calmly: "Young Master Shen has worked hard for the court for the past six months. Your Majesty thinks of Young Master Shen's contribution very much, so he specially asked our family to come over and ask Young Master Shen what reward he wants."

Shen Yi said without hesitation: "Father-in-law, it is the greatest reward for me to not let me write about Mr. Chen. Please go back and thank the Holy Grace for me."

"Since Your Majesty wants to reward you, then you can accept the reward with peace of mind. You don't have to push and procrastinate. You are petty."

He looked at Shen Yi, smiled and said, "The provincial examination will be released tomorrow, Mr. Shen, does not want to be on the list of the rural examination tomorrow?"

To tell the truth, the allure of this sentence is very great.

Because Shen Yi doesn't have much of the "integrity" of scholars in this era, not because of his character problems, but because he grew up in the environment of later generations, which makes his personality somewhat smooth and not so rigid.

He looked up at Gao Ming's expression, and after hesitating for a moment, he still shook his head slightly: "Eunuch, Shen Yi will be a capable minister in the future, not a lucky minister."

Eunuch Gao squinted his eyes and nodded, then looked left and right, and said, "Mr. Shen is a man of great talent, and he is a bit wronged to live here. Let's just say, there are still a few vacant houses in the palace in Beicheng. How about saying hello to them tomorrow, let them clean it up, and let Mr. Shen live for free?"

Just as Shen Yi was about to shake his head and refuse, he saw Eunuch Gao's complexion darkened, and said, "Since Your Majesty wants to show favor, it may not be appropriate for Mr. Shen to just refuse. This matter is settled like this. I will let Qian Jin Come here and take Mr. Shen to move."

Saying this, Eunuch Gao stood up, put his hands in his sleeves, and walked towards the door, behind the door of the living room.He turned his head and smiled at Shen Yi.

"The township examination will be released tomorrow, I wish Mr. Shen a name on the list."
