Houfu Key Class

The two old enemies stared at each other, one at a time and one at a time.

What was once a classmate has become the relationship between king and minister today.

The little devil actually wanted to see what kind of counterattack Qin Ye would have when faced with the siege from the courtiers.

The veterans observed the new emperor's attitude and thought that he said Qin Ye was annoying because he didn't like this person. If Qin Ye was a man who knew how to advance and retreat, he should take the initiative to give up his position as the number one scholar now, so as not to delay the release of the palace examination results, not to mention that there are still new emperors. A major event like the emperor's ascension to the throne is waiting to be announced to the world...

As a result, before they had finished thinking, they saw Qin Ye take a step forward and replied firmly: "Back to the emperor, I believe that the purpose of the imperial examination is to select talents for the imperial court, and the key point of talents is the word 'talent'. Above, as the ministers have said, since the stipulation that the successful candidates were directly awarded an official position in the Tongzi Branch was abolished, there will no longer be a boy who can become an official at a young age. This can only mean that the previous boys have not been able to become the number one scholar. After the Tongzi Examination, the Imperial Examination in our dynasty still set up three major examinations, namely the Provincial Examination, the General Examination, and the Palace Examination, to examine students' ability to serve as officials in all aspects including economics, poetry, and policy. To conclude that talents are not talents is to deny the results given by all the examiners, and also to deny the fairness of the entire imperial examination. Therefore, I believe that I should have a clear conscience for the position of No. 1 Scholar."

"you!"

"You, you...you! Arrogant kid!"

"I don't know how high the sky is!"

Qin Ye's words made the ministers furious.

I thought that an eleven-year-old child would have shrunk in fear under the opposition of so many ministers.

But who knew that this kid would advance instead of retreating.

He actually dared to talk to the high officials of the day!

He was so careless about life and death. Such a kid entered an official career, and within a year, he definitely didn’t even know how he died!

The ministers were so angry that they turned around and continued to speak to their superiors: "Your Majesty, I think this son is too arrogant and does not know the importance of his work. If he is given an official position so hastily, he will surely cause unrest in the court in the future and will be detrimental to the great Chu. !”

Jin Cheng also thinks Qin Ye is crazy.

But... so what?

Is it impossible to be an official if you are crazy?

The little devil looked at the old man and suddenly said: "Which department are you from?"

The minister bowed his head and responded respectfully: "I am the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Fang Hechu. Although I am not in charge of this imperial examination, as a member of Da Chu, I must help the emperor to solve his problems."

"Oh..." the little devil frowned and said doubtfully, "Seeing how good you are at pinching and calculating, I thought it belonged to Si Tianjian, but it turns out it's not."

Mr. Fang: "??"

How does he look like he is in charge of the astronomical phenomena?

With the little emperor's interruption, the students watching the theater secretly laughed below. Even Luo Jingfeng couldn't help but applaud his eldest nephew. However, he was kicked by Zong Zhao and quickly stopped. .

Academician Zhao blew his beard and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I still believe that Qin Ye cannot be selected as the number one scholar. He has talent, and I admit it. But once the list is announced, how should the court explain it to the people? There are already rumors among the people. A child from an official family has cheated in the imperial examination and replaced a poor student. Now there is an eleven-year-old scholar. How should you stop this? Your Majesty, please think twice. Don't just look at the present and ignore the long-term plan! "

Because the current emperor is young, the ministers dare not speak in a vague way for fear that he will not understand.

But these straightforward words were also heard by all the students in the palace. They thought from the perspective of the imperial court, and they really understood it somewhat.

The morale of the army was shaken.

Even the students who originally recognized Qin Ye's strength also whispered in agreement, and some even said that he should be demoted to second place. Otherwise, not only would it be difficult for the court, but even Qin Ye might be scolded by the people who didn't know the truth. It's the back door.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

The ministers took advantage of the situation and knelt on the ground. After gaining control of the people's hearts, they began to put pressure on the emperor, so that the young emperor had to re-nominate the number one scholar based on this conclusion.

The students lowered their heads one by one and dared not say a word, just waiting for the emperor to make a decision.

At this moment, Jin Cheng found He Zheng winking at him below. Because he could not speak freely in front of the palace, his brother almost blinked his eyes into butterfly wings.

When the little devil received the signal, he raised his eyebrows and immediately shouted: "Zhuan He Zheng, if Qin Ye is demoted to the second class, you will be promoted to the first class. What do you have to say?"

The ministers were stunned.

Why are you still asking about Chuanlu?

He Zheng held it in for a long time and finally managed to speak, and quickly replied with great enthusiasm: "Back to the emperor, I believe that the imperial examination is the fairest selection method for our great Chu. If he is burdened by rumors, he will remove Qin Ye's number one scholar. This is Qin Ye is unfair , The imperial examination is unfair, and I feel sorry for the thousands of students in the world who are studying hard. However, the concerns of Fang Shilang and University Scholar Zhao are not unreasonable, but I happen to have a little idea that I can give to the emperor and other ministers for reference. "

At critical moments, his brother is still reliable.

The little emperor gave him a powerful look and said proudly: "Speak."

"Yes!" He Zheng received support from his eldest brother and immediately began to speak eloquently, "You don't know, Qin Ye is very famous in our Qingbo Academy. Every time he wins, our dean will post publicity within three miles of the academy. , for recruiting new students. He also claimed: If Qin Ye can win the first prize, he will post it all over the area within ten miles. I thought, I can take this opportunity to post Qin Ye's first prize roll, so that the whole Chu and even You Kingdom can see the style of our new top scorer. Who would say that he won three yuan in a row by cheating?"

After the four young dandies passed the exam, they would perform lion dances throughout the capital. They were good at this kind of conspicuous publicity method.

This was especially true because the eldest brother had mentioned this method before. He once said, "When we pass the imperial examination in the future, we must post our scores all over the capital, so that the whole capital will know that the four young dandies of the past have become four young talents!"

He Zheng helped the eldest brother finish the method and left.

But with a bang, the whole place was blown up.

The students had never seen such a scene before, and they began to discuss it. This publicity method was unheard of. It was fine for others to post names to recruit students, but why did you post the champion's paper all over the capital? ?

The conservative old ministers were all stunned.

They were stunned for a moment, and then quickly retorted: "This, this, this, this... How can this be a disgrace!"

"It's unheard of, unheard of! How can the top scholar's paper be posted all over Beijing? This is not a warrant for arrest!"

"No, no, this method is not acceptable. I still think Qin Ye cannot be selected as the top scholar. Your Majesty, please think twice."

"..."

Zong Wenxiu blushed when he heard it next to him. When he thought of the scene suggested by He Zheng, he was afraid for Qin Ye. Everyone in Beijing could see what he wrote... How scary is this?

As a result, he looked at the person involved. Qin Ye didn't react at all. Obviously, he didn't resist this method.

Zong Wenxiu thought secretly: Qin Ye is worthy of it. He has a strong mentality.

Jin Cheng looked around and found that only some of the old ministers of the conservative school were still making trouble. The remaining half became silent and watched, while Prime Minister Shen on the side was stroking his beard with a smile on his face.

The little devil raised his eyebrows and asked Prime Minister Shen with a smile: "What do you think of this method, sir?"
