Chapter 297 Goodbye at the Palace Gate
Listening to papers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony was originally the emperor's job.

Because the palace examination is presided over by the emperor himself, that is to say, the emperor himself is the chief examiner. Therefore, there is no chief examiner in the palace examination. There are only eight examiners. These eight examiners will mark the papers first, and then read them to the emperor for reference. Emperor's opinion.

But this kind of thing is boring for him, and the emperors of all dynasties have been doing it, so they are unwilling to do it. Most of them will push the errands to these few examiners, and then finally symbolically comment on the top ten and click on the three tripods It's over.

However, according to Prince Jin, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be diligent this time, and listened to the papers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony honestly for two days.

The emperor himself worked for two days, definitely not because of Shen Yi, or not only because of Shen Yi.

Eunuch Gao once told Shen Yi that the emperor attached great importance to this scientific examination and wanted to use this scientific examination to form his Hong Dechao team.

The current ministers in the imperial court are basically all the ministers left over from the former emperor's dynasty. Even if there are some courtiers from the Hongde dynasty, they were promoted by Yang Jingzong's veteran ministers from the former emperor's dynasty.

This subject is the first subject of the emperor's personal administration. The ambitious little emperor naturally wants to select some talents for himself, and the Japanese problem is also one of the emperor's worries. Thinking about it this way, the little emperor is listening to papers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. reasonable.

However, when Prince Jin said this in Shen Yi's face, it was somewhat ambiguous, as if implying that the emperor had opened a back door for Shen Yi.

Shen Yi's brain turned rapidly, and with just one breath, he came back to his senses, lowered his head slightly and said: "It is my great fortune, Your Majesty, to be diligent in politics."

Prince Jin stretched out his hand and patted Shen Yi's shoulder, he chuckled: "Good boy, you can hold your breath. Your father has been in my house for more than ten years, and you, Shen Qi, can be regarded as half of my family. If you have time to walk around the palace, The king treats you to dinner."

Winning new Jinshi is also a routine operation of the great figures in Jiankang. Even Zhao Changping's "clear stream" has caught a son-in-law back at the bottom of the list. However, with the status of Prince Jin, there is no need to win over anyone with potential. young people.

He invited Shen Yi to come to his house purely because Shen Yi had some connections with Jin Wang's mansion. Now that someone Shen has made a fortune, it is of course necessary to form a good relationship if he can make a good relationship.

Shen Yi bowed slightly and said: "If you have time, you must go to the palace to bother me."

"Ah."

Prince Jin nodded and said, "I still have some errands to do, so I won't talk to you anymore, I'll talk to you..."

Prince Jin turned his head to look at the Jinshi nearby, and said with a smile: "If you talk again, they should be thinking about it."

"If they ask you, don't hold back."

Prince Jin turned and left: "Let's just say that you are on good terms with my son. You are my junior, so you know each other well."

After saying this, Prince Jin left with his hands behind his back, walked up to Xie Zhuangyuan, and said calmly: "Let's go, I will send Zhuangyuan back to the palace."

Xie Quan was terrified, and bowed his head deeply to King Jin: "Don't dare to bother the lord, I just go back by myself..."

"Over the years, the Governor of Jiankang sent the No. [-] Scholar back to his house."

Prince Jin smiled and said: "Now that I am serving as the Governor of Jiankang, there is no exception. Let's go. After sending off the champion, the government still has errands."

Xie Quan didn't dare to refuse, he lowered his head, followed Prince Jin, and walked towards his mansion.

Second place Tanhua also followed.

According to the rules, the two of them had to send the No. [-] pick home, then Tanhua sent the No. [-] home, and then Tanhua went home by himself...

As for the other second-class and third-class Jinshi, they don't pay so much attention, they just disperse separately.

After Prince Jin left, Ying Zhao and Sun Li walked up to Shen Yi, coughed, and asked cautiously, "Ziheng...recognize Prince Jin?"

"Well...some origins."

Shen Yi's expression was calm: "My father used to work in the Prince Jin's Mansion, so I also lived in the Prince Jin's Mansion. I was lucky enough to meet the Prince Jin's son, so I also met the Prince Jin several times."

If other Jinshi had Shen Yi's background, he would definitely deny his father's background and work at this moment.

Because even if you are a current person in the palace, it is not a very glorious thing.

But Shen Yi chose to face it calmly.

To put it bluntly, it's not that the old man has worked hard in Jinwang's mansion these years. He and Shen Heng may not even be able to eat. The old man has worked so hard to raise the two brothers, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

In this world, no matter what the father's job is, there is no reason for the son to dislike him.

After hearing Shen Yi's words, both Ying Zhao and Sun Li nodded. Mr. Ying from Ganquan Academy looked at Shen Yi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Ziheng, brother, I heard that Prince Jin had a relationship with His Majesty back then. After some quarrels, no matter what your father did in the past, for the sake of Ziheng's future, it's better to keep a respectful distance from Prince Jin's mansion..."

Ying Zhao was originally just a teacher of Ganquan Academy, and the affairs in the court were very far away from him, but now that he has been selected as a Jinshi, he has suddenly become a quasi-lord of the court, and his focus is quite different from before.

Shen Yi had heard his point of view more than once.

Zhang Jian and Zhang Yi'an told Shen Yi.

At that time, Shen Yi also felt that this statement was very reasonable, but after thinking about it himself, he felt that this statement was not very reliable.

When the first emperor passed away suddenly, and with the strong enemies of the Northern Qi Dynasty, in order to prevent the suspicion of the master, some ministers in the court really wanted to establish the king of Jin, and the uncle and nephew would of course have some unpleasantness because of this.

But now, the initial unhappiness has probably disappeared.

because…

The emperor appointed Prince Jin as an official, and Jing Zhaoyin, who is still in control of the capital, completely controls the real power position in the capital. Being able to give this errand to him not only shows that the emperor is very relieved of King Jin, but also...

His Majesty the Emperor and his uncle are probably on the same front.

Because the two generations of the Li family are not very prosperous. The emperor is the eldest son of the late emperor. Apart from him, there are two young brothers left in the line of the late emperor. These two young brothers are now 12 years old and the other [-] years old. Can't count on it at all.

Among the clan, the only one who can act for the emperor is Prince Jin.

To put it bluntly, both of them are surnamed Li.

In the past, when the little emperor's position was not stable, he would naturally be wary of his uncle. Now that the little emperor has gradually stabilized his position, and Prince Jin has also given up his desire to win the championship, he is naturally closer than outsiders.

But the royal family really doesn't have any family ties to speak of. Now that the uncle and nephew are sitting together holding hands, maybe in a few years or more, when the little emperor's wings are fuller, he will leave King Jin aside again.

If one is not good, maybe he will do something wrong to this uncle.

Ying Zhao's words were also out of good intentions, Shen Yi couldn't possibly refute him, so he could only smile politely and say hello.

It was approaching noon, and the three Jinshi of the same year in Jiangdu Prefecture found a tavern in Jiankang City, had a good drink, and went home to sleep after being full in the afternoon.

Early the next morning, Shen Yi was woken up again by two maids.

Today, the emperor will give a banquet in Qionglin Garden in the palace, and Jinshi will have to enter the palace again.

Today is also the last day of the scientific examination activities for the newly promoted Jinshi. After the banquet today, the scientific examination of this subject will be officially over, and everyone will do what they should do in the future, and there will be no other activities.

The Qionglin Banquet started at noon, so it wasn't too urgent, but the two little maids were very nervous, and they called Shen Yi up early in the morning, one combed his hair, and the other fiddled with his clothes. It took the whole morning to take care of Shen Yi.

After taking care of the description, Shen Yi ate breakfast at home, and then wandered around Jiankang City for a while. When it was time, he entered the imperial city and came to the gate of the palace to wait for his summons.

At this moment, the Jinshi were almost all here, waiting quietly for someone from the palace to introduce them to dinner.

While Shen Yi and the others were waiting, a sedan chair carried by four people was carried by four young eunuchs all the way from the imperial city to the gate of the imperial palace.

When the sedan chair reached the gate of the palace, it stopped slowly, but the people in the sedan chair did not get out of the sedan chair.

A group of Jinshi all looked sideways.

Carrying a sedan chair in the imperial city is already a great honor, if you don't leave the sedan chair when you enter the palace, then the sedan chair will be an indescribably noble person!

While a group of Jinshi were discussing, two young eunuchs came out of the palace, said a few words to the people who carried the sedan chair, waved their hands, and said, "Pick up the sedan chair and carry it directly to Kunde Palace." .”

The sedan chair was lifted up again.

At this time, the car curtain was lifted by a bare hand, revealing a woman's face.

The woman didn't look at others, nor at the eunuchs, but stared fiercely at Shen Yi in the crowd.

With a look of resentment on his face.

Shen Yi also sensed this gaze, looked up at the person in the sedan chair, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Princess Izumo of the Northern Qi Dynasty...

Zhao Ying!
