The queen who wears books always wants to bully me

Chapter 370 Do you still like Emperor Duyouqin?
Zhou House.

The whole family is waiting for news.

If you usually don't need to worry about it.

With Young Master Zhou's talent and learning, he will definitely be selected, even Yuan Hui is no problem.

But what happened to Zhou Ruolan two days ago, Zhou Yunting was affected, and he was afraid that he would not perform well.

Master Zhou and his wife couldn't sit still at all, they walked back and forth in front of the flower hall in a hurry.

Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou were also a little anxious sitting on the first seat.

Although Zhou Yunting himself was sitting calmly on the chair beside him, he was also somewhat nervous, because there were many opponents this year, Situ Lan, Lou Yu, Prince Jing'an Hou Shizi and others were all competitors for many years, and they were all talented and educated. lose to myself.

...

"Master, here we come, Dafu is back."

At this time a girl shouted.

Everyone looked at the door at once, only to see a little guy running in sweating profusely, probably because he ran too fast on the road.

"Dafu..."

"I hit it—" Dafu said excitedly.

The family finally breathed a sigh of relief and beamed with joy.

Mrs. Zhou asked happily, "Which place did you win?"

Dafu paused and said truthfully, "Young master won No.6."

This is considered to be on the list, at most it is a Jinshi, but fortunately, it is ranked in the top ten and has the opportunity to enter the palace examination.

"How could it be only No.6?" Doctor Zhou and the others were stunned, their faces were ugly, and they couldn't believe that with Young Master Zhou's talents, they only got No.[-]. They thought that at least the top three would be no less.

Young Master Zhou has been smart since he was a child. He is a material for studying, and he was taught carefully by Mrs. Zhou. He should have been a high school Yuanhui. Even if he was affected before the exam, he should at least be No.2.

But it was only No.6. This result instantly cast a haze over the entire Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Yunting's face was very pale, and he clenched his fists and said in shame, "Grandfather, I am ashamed of your years of careful teaching, it is Ting'er who is incompetent."

Although the old lady Fu Zhou was disappointed, she cheered up immediately, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "It's pretty good to be able to pass the exam, and you have to watch the imperial examination at the end. Don't be discouraged. Grandpa believes in you."

Mrs. Zhou and the others immediately nodded one after another, fearing that it would hurt his confidence, so give him more encouragement.

Only then did Zhou Yunting breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time his eyes flashed gloomy, and he asked, "Who is that Yuanhui?"

Dafu said, "It's a man named Luo Zichen."

No.2 is Situ Lan, No.3 is Lou Yu, No.4 is Prince Jing'an, No.5 is Zhong Chu...

"Is there an aristocratic family named Luo in the capital?" Zhou Yunting frowned slightly. He had never heard of this person. Where did he come from?

It's not Situ Lan and Lou Yu No.1, but a poor scholar who is not well known? !
This result is quite pleasing.

At least No.1 is not his competitors.

"No, there is no famous family named Luo in the capital, and almost no one knows his origin."

As soon as the list was released, many people were asking about the origin of Mr. Luo.

It's a pity that people didn't even look at the list.

So I don't know who this talented young man is.

Luo Zichen became famous in one fell swoop, he is so mysterious that people are curious.

...

When Mu Wan woke up, the list of palace examinations had been handed into the imperial study.

Seeing the words Luo Zichen on the booklet, she woke up suddenly, "Isn't Luo Zichen a student of my grandfather? He came to the capital to take the scientific examination? He even won the Yuanhui?"

Chu Bei smiled and said, "The dark guard sent him to the capital when he returned to the capital. Luo Zichen is a talent, capable of writing and martial arts, and his talents and knowledge in all aspects are not inferior to Situ Mo."

"Luo Zichen knows martial arts?"

Mu Wan frowned fiercely, remembering that when he saw his two brothers in the imperial study that day, they looked like weak scholars.

"His master is the former General Ning of the Jun Kingdom, and his grandfather was the number one scholar in civil and military affairs when he was young, don't you know?" Chu Bei looked at her with a slightly raised eyebrow and smiled.

"I have lost my memory, so I will know this..."

Mu Wan lowered her eyes and pulled her lips slightly. The original book didn't describe the supporting characters in detail, and she didn't see the finale, so many things were unclear.

Chu Bei smiled and said, "Tomorrow, you have to write a question for the imperial examination. The champion, the second place, and the third prize will all be appointed by you yourself. What questions have you thought about?"

Mu Wan propped her chin with her hands, and looked at the potted plants in the yard outside the window. They were all bare, not even a single sprout. "It's about crops. Help me think about how to come up with this topic."

Chu Bei followed her gaze and looked out, "Is the emperor planning to set up an official position specializing in crop production?"

Mu Wan nodded, "Well, but don't worry, take it step by step."

If it's really not possible, when the philanthropy hall opens, she will publish textbooks and train some people at worst.

The famous people on these lists are all from aristocratic families. If they know how much they know about crops, they probably don't even know how rice grows!
But it doesn't matter, the court also needs newcomers to enter the court as officials.

Only in this way can she develop her own power.

That Luo Zichen might be of use to me.

Mu Wan thought for a while, and she already had a plan in her mind.

Then he ordered someone to give her the list of the top fifty Jinshi.

She can support those poor children more.

Seeing that she was looking at the list of these poor children, Chu Bei's eyes flickered, and he knew what she had in mind, so he took the initiative to ask someone to investigate the family background, past experience, personality and other information of those people and sorted it out for them. She had a look at it for reference and selection.

Mu Wan raised her eyebrows when she saw the compiled information, and was surprised, "The empress knows my plan, why are you still helping me?"

Normally, she cultivated power secretly, which more or less showed her distrust of their four major families.

He knew it but wasn't angry?

"Secretly cultivating one's own power, as an emperor, this is normal."

If the emperor sits for a long time, he will become suspicious and trust no one.

Since ancient times, emperors have always been suspicious and jealous of high-ranking courtiers.

It's not a bad thing that she can plan ahead.

What's more, he has already entered the family of Jun's family. He is her person in life and her ghost in death. If he doesn't help her, who will he help? !
The art of the emperor is all about power, and the word check and balance is the essence of it.

The treacherous ministers will never be killed, but the loyal ministers will always die in vain.

Among them, the manipulation of those in power must be indispensable, and they are all just pawns.

"Well, it's good that the queen doesn't get angry. I don't mean to be suspicious of your four major families. I understand in my heart that your four major families are loyal to your family. The heroes who founded the country have accompanied you all the way. The emperors of all generations have reused them. I also know the truth that you don't need to be suspicious, and you don't need to be suspicious." Mu Wan looked up at him with clear eyes, but she always had to plan for the future, and there might not be courtiers in the four major families of her generation, but no Guaranteed that the next generation will not appear.

Chu Bei looked down at her, "I understand."

Then the two chatted for a while about the palace exam questions.

When it was time to rest, Mu Wan got up and went to the yard to water the potted plants.

Chu Bei followed beside him to help, while pouring water, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Does Emperor Duyouqin still like it?"

Geek!

Mu Wan's face froze, "Duyouqin was collected by the queen?"

"Well, you don't like it? I heard it's a century-old qin."
