After being exiled, I took my whole family to farm in space

Chapter 268 Ye Huaichen presides over the palace examination

Ye Huaifeng handed the list to Emperor Ping Zhao:

"Father, there are 469 Gongsheng students in the imperial examination this time, and I and you sirs have selected 81 top-notch Gongsheng students."

Emperor Ping Zhao yawned, waved his hands and said:

"I won't watch it anymore. You and Xiao Qi can handle it."

"Father, you haven't had any rest, okay?"

"Well, the memorial was a little late." Emperor Ping Zhao said seriously.

Hearing this, Ye Huaifeng lowered his head and snickered.

Emperor Ping Zhao took some time off recently and handed over some memorials to Ye Huaichen. Ye Huaichen was impatient to review them and asked someone to take them to the empress.

The queen knew that her son had to pay close attention to details and deal with political affairs day and night. She felt heartbroken. Emperor Ping Zhao was scolded by the queen.

Emperor Ping Zhao later promised to the queen that he would only let his son handle the imperial examination. Although the queen agreed, she still kicked Emperor Ping Zhao out of the Yi Palace.

"Father, I have something happy to tell you."

"What happy event?"

Emperor Ping Zhao was not in high spirits and could not abdicate as he wished. He thought it would be a good idea to have some free time, but he did not expect that his precious son would complain to his mother and he was in a bad mood.

Now he just wants to calm down his beloved wife. He can't afford to offend that little bastard Xiao Qi.

"You are going to be the emperor's grandfather."

"What Emperor?" Emperor Ping Zhao didn't react for a moment.

"My son is going to be a father, and you are going to be the emperor's grandfather." Ye Huaifeng said again with a smile.

"This is the grandson of the emperor, okay, okay, my first grandson is finally here.

Eunuch Fu, hurry to the Taiyuan Hospital and ask Zhang Yuanshi to pick some supplements and send them to the eldest prince's mansion, hahaha, my little grandson. "

"Yes, the old slave complies."

Eunuch Fu watched the emperor smile for the first time in these days, and his mood improved, and he walked out with a smile.

"Boss, it's been a few months."

"Father, it's been more than two months."

"Okay, let Ling Yatou take a good rest and give me a fat grandson."

"Yes, Father, I will go to Xiao Qi first to discuss the palace examination."

"Okay, go ahead, go ahead."

Two days later, when it was time for the palace examination, more than 400 tribute students arrived outside Fengtian Palace at dawn and were waiting.

The Gongsheng students stood outside the hall in an orderly manner, waiting for the summons.

"All Gongsheng students, please come into the hall." After the eunuch sang, a group of Gongsheng students tidied up their clothes and entered the Fengtian Hall.

Most of the Gongsheng students came from other places to take exams and were cautious and did not dare to look around after entering the palace.

The hall was very quiet, no one dared to speak.

"The seventh prince has arrived."

"The common people pay their respects to His Majesty the Seventh Highness."

"Exemption."

"Thank you, Your Highness Seventh."

The Gongsheng students stood up and looked at Ye Huaichen cautiously.

Ye Huaichen was dressed in purple and looked at the Gongsheng students standing in the center of the hall with a pair of cold and noble red phoenix eyes. His domineering and arrogant attitude deterred people from even the slightest thought of blasphemy.

The Seventh Prince was still young, but his royal aura made the Gongsheng students nervous. Seeing the Seventh Prince's silence, the Gongsheng students' eyes were full of awe.

Several forest guards came in with several baskets of rice, and Ye Huaichen said:

"The topic of the palace examination is these baskets of rice. Everyone comes forward to see how they perform as they please."

"Why are you looking at rice grains for the question?"

"I don't know much about this rice, what should I do?"

In the palace examination hall, many candidates looked solemn, and whispers could be heard from time to time.

Gongsheng students are all devoted to reading the books of sages, how can they understand rice?

Ye Huaichen turned around and sat lazily on the main seat.

Someone below took the lead and came forward to inspect the rice one by one, then returned to their seats and started grinding. Others also started to take action one after another.

The palace examination has always been a direct test of theory and theory. Different from the simple knowledge test of other subjects, the theory and theory assessment pays more attention to the thinking ability and innovation of Gong students. Unexpectedly, Ye Huaichen's topic was about how many baskets of rice.

This year's examination questions are better than any other. Students need to combine their own opinions and knowledge to come up with strategies that meet the requirements and have unique insights.

They hold the pen tightly and think about the ideas for answering the questions, hoping to seize a chance and join the way forward.

Ye Huaichen sat lazily on the high platform, reading the Poison Sutra in his hand, and occasionally glanced at the scene from the corner of his eye.

The atmosphere in the hall was obviously quiet, but the Gongsheng students still felt tense invisibly, as if they could smell the tension that was ready to go.

Occasionally, whispers came from the main hall, and Ye Huaichen fell asleep leaning against him. Eunuch Fu, who was on the side, took a cloak and covered him with it before looking at the Gongsheng students for answers.

Gradually, as the sun was setting, the famous Gongsheng student put down his brush and shook off his sore hands.

"Send over the test paper." Ye Huaichen said, and the Gongsheng students all raised their heads.

"Submit the test paper." Ye Huaichen looked at the person and said again.

"Yes, Your Highness." The man reacted by calling him, holding the test paper in his hands and walking forward.

This Gongsheng is a young man, not handsome in appearance, but his features are somewhat upright and pleasing to the eye.

"Caomin Yan Jin pays homage to His Highness." Yan Jin knelt down holding the test paper.

Eunuch Fu took the test paper and handed it over: "Your Highness, please take a look."

"Pingshen! Well, that's a good word." After reading the test paper, Ye Huaichen looked at Yan Jin, who was standing calmly underneath.

"You know a lot about rice?"

This person was the first to look at the rice. Ye Huaichen was farming in space and looked at Yan Jin looking at the rice with a very understanding expression.

"Your Highness, Cao Min's family is poor and he is an only child. It is really hard for his parents to support Cao Min's education. Cao Min will occasionally go to the fields to do farm work." Yan Jin replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"Your article is well written and worthy of being ranked first."

As soon as Ye Huaichen said these words, the other Gongsheng students' hearts trembled. The number one scholar was selected so quickly?

“How can you tell the origin and quality of five baskets of rice?”

"Your Highness, the common people copy books for others and dabble in this knowledge. The common people know a little about the impact of terrain and climate on the growth of grains and the storage of grain at home."

There were five baskets of rice, one basket was slightly moldy, one basket was refined grain, two baskets were coarse grain, and one basket was old grain. The test papers were all taken out one by one, and they made bold guesses.

The test paper identified two corrupt officials, and Ye Huaichen was very satisfied.

"The top three will be selected in three days. There is a vacancy for a county magistrate. Are you willing to serve?"

Being able to become the number one scholar is a matter of honoring one's ancestors, and one's future is boundless if he stays in the capital. The county magistrate is just a minor local official, and there may be no hope of promotion. Everyone knows how to choose.

"Thank you for your favor, Your Highness. Whether you are the number one scholar or the county magistrate, you will benefit the people and serve the imperial court. It is the time for the imperial court to employ people, and ordinary people choose to serve as county magistrates."

"Very good. You will be allowed to rest for a day and then leave to take up a post in Feng County the day after tomorrow."

"Feng County?" Yan Jin was surprised. He thought it was a remote small county.

The other Gongsheng students were lucky enough to lose a competitor. They were dumbfounded when they heard about Fengxian County. Fengxian County was the granary of Tianqi Kingdom, a land of prosperity. Fengxian County was no worse than the capital city when entering the officialdom for the first time.

"Yan Jin would like to thank His Highness for your promotion. I will surely live up to His Highness's expectations." Yan Jin knelt down to thank Ye Huaichen.

It is not easy for him, a boy from a poor family, to establish himself in the capital. He is so lucky to serve as the magistrate of Feng County.

"I hope you will not forget your original intention and serve the people as written in your examination paper."

Yan Jin showed a firm expression on his face and replied solemnly:

"Your Highness, the people will live up to your expectations and will go all out to benefit the people."

Ye Huaichen nodded with satisfaction and turned his attention to the other Gongsheng students:

"It is not easy to study hard for ten years. No matter what position you hold in the future, His Highness hopes that you will not forget your original intention and serve the country and the people."

All the Gongsheng students stood up and looked at Ye Huaichen with enthusiasm. Filled with a sense of responsibility to the country and the people, they shouted in unison:

"Yes, Your Highness, we will strictly follow His teachings."
