The Eighth Prince clasped his hands together and begged so pitifully.
Shen Wan couldn't bear it.
She should be able to understand the Eighth Prince's mood best.
Because the emperor had nothing to do with Xie Jingyan, he kept looking for her in many corners.
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan and said, "The emperor is looking for you because of Qiu Wei. How about you try to take over the post of examiner of the imperial examination?"
Black lines fell off Xie Jingyan's forehead.
If he wanted the position of examiner, his father would give it to him?
"Father, the most you can do is let me be a supervisor," Xie Jingyan said.
The imperial examination had one chief examiner, two deputy examiners, and eighteen supervisors and scriveners.
There are eighteen supervisors. It is not difficult for him to get one or two. He doesn't even need his father's permission. He can get it by asking the Minister of Rites.
Shen Wan said, "I know my father will not let you be the examiner, but you can recommend someone of your own."
The eldest prince and Prince Jin can do it, and of course Xie Jingyan can do it too.
Xie Jingyan said, "I don't have a suitable candidate unless -"
His words stopped abruptly.
There was no one who was half-said. Shen Wan looked at him and asked, "Unless what?"
Xie Jingyan didn't say much. He stood up, pinched Shen Wan's nose and said, "I'll go into the palace right now. You stay in the house and prepare the medicine."
Shen Wan, "...???"
"What are you doing to prepare the wound medicine?" Shen Wan was puzzled.
"I should be able to use it."
"..."
The Eighth Prince stood aside.
No eyes to see, no ears to hear.
I have seen people flirting, but I have never seen anyone flirting because they think they will get slapped by their father.
The Eighth Prince is really curious as to who the Sixth Brother recommends will be criticized by his father...
He even didn't understand why Sixth Brother would do such a thing even though he knew it would make his father unhappy.
The eighth prince followed Xie Jingyan out of Prince Ling's Mansion with full of doubts and rode into the palace.
The Eighth Prince was very satisfied with the horse given to him by Master Wei. However, there were so many people on the street that a thousand-mile horse couldn't run fast. He couldn't tell the difference between him and Xie Jingyan's horse. He hoped to have a chance to compete. .
After entering the palace, the two of them went to the imperial study. Normally, the eighth prince would definitely not go if he could, but today he wanted to see how his sixth brother was beaten.
The Eighth Prince, "..."
The eighth prince followed Xie Jingyan into the imperial study. Then he saw his mother and concubine bringing food to his father. The eighth prince did not have a heart attack.
His mother-in-law should not go into the palace to serve as a concubine for her father. She should go to the imperial dining room to be a waiter.
Thanks to my father, he obviously has the imperial kitchen to prepare delicious food for him, but he also has a bunch of concubines. Today I will bring you soup, and tomorrow she will bring you cakes. You are diligent, why don’t you have any self-awareness?
The Eighth Prince was full of opinions.
When Concubine Wang Shu saw the Eighth Prince, she couldn't help glaring at him. She came to bring food to the Emperor because she was afraid that if he failed to complete the tasks assigned by the Emperor, the Emperor would reprimand him and wanted to persuade him, but he was not grateful at all. .
The eighth prince had an expression on his face as if his mother and concubine did not come to the royal study a few times, and the son would be thankful.
Xie Jingyan stepped forward and saluted the emperor. The emperor said, "Is this the note you wrote for the eighth prince?"
Xie Jingyan said expressionlessly, "With your father's wisdom, didn't you guess that?"
emperor,"……"
The Eighth Prince said, "Father must have guessed it. He asked knowingly."
emperor,"……"
Concubine Wang Shu, "..."
Concubine Wang Shu also had a heart attack.
How could she have given birth to such a heartless son, who wanted to please the emperor, but did not have a mouth that could please him? It would be better not to say what he said.
Concubine Wang Shu said hurriedly, "Your Majesty has a stupid mouth, so let him go down and stay, so as not to say the wrong thing and make your Majesty angry."
Concubine Wang Shu resigned and dragged the eighth prince down.
The Eighth Prince protested in a low voice, "I came here specifically to see Sixth Brother for a fight!"
Concubine Wang Shu glared at him, "I think you are really looking for a fight!"
He dared to say that the emperor knew what he was asking, and she kept telling him to listen more, watch more and talk less all day long, but he didn't listen at all.
Concubine Wang Shu and the eighth prince retreated, and Eunuch Yuan waved his hand to drive out all the maids and eunuchs serving in the royal study.
Xie Jingyan looked at the emperor, "My father asked my eighth brother to come to the palace with me. What do you want to ask me?"
The emperor also wanted to make a detour, but Xie Jingyan refused to let him go and directly exposed it.
The emperor asked several questions based on the excerpt written by Xie Jingyan that day. Xie Jingyan answered them one by one, and the emperor was quite satisfied with the answers.
The emperor picked up the tea cup, fiddled with it gently, and said, "Mr. Zuo Xiang or Master Zhao, the Hanlin scholar, who do you think is more suitable to be the examiner for this Qiu Wei?"
"Father asked this, obviously neither of them are suitable."
emperor,"……"
Eunuch Yuan, "..."
The emperor didn't know whether he should be angry or not.
Eunuch Yuan couldn't laugh even if he wanted to, not to mention how uncomfortable it was to hold it in.
The emperor had taught King Ling the art of imperial thinking since he was a child. King Ling tried to figure out the emperor's thoughts, but he couldn't guess at all.
In the past, Prince Ling was very straightforward when he attacked the emperor. Now he is a little better, but only a little.
The emperor was used to his ministers talking to him tactfully and being able to advance or retreat. At first, Xie Jingyan was so direct and left no room for anything. The emperor was really uncomfortable with it.
The emperor didn't even drink the tea. He put down the cup and said, "They are not suitable. Who do you think is suitable to be the examiner in the court?"
Xie Jingyan said, "Don't ask me, you won't agree with the person I recommend."
The emperor frowned, he was really curious about who his son recommended, and he was so sure that he would not agree.
The emperor said, "Why don't I agree? As long as he is suitable, can be qualified as an examiner, and will not engage in favoritism and malpractice, I will not fail to consider him."
Xie Jingyan looked at the emperor, "Father, can you not appoint talents based on your own likes and dislikes?"
Being an emperor based on his own likes and dislikes is a foolish king.
"I'm not a fool yet!"
What Xie Jingyan wanted was the emperor's words. He said, "I recommend Mr. Han Ge."
Swish.
Almost instantly.
The emperor's face darkened.
Eunuch Yuan even took a breath of cold air.
Mr. Han Ge...
I haven't heard these three words for many years.
When something happened to Concubine Chen in Yan's Mansion, the Emperor received a secret report and rushed to Yan's Mansion. The first thing he saw was Young Master Han, the eldest son of Mr. Hange. He committed suicide next to the rockery.
Something happened to Concubine Chen, and the Yan family was implicated. They were executed by the whole family. The autopsy of Young Master Han found that it had nothing to do with the case of Concubine Chen. The fire did not burn to the Han Ge family, but Young Master Han died in the Yan Mansion that day. , coupled with the fact that he had discussed marriage with Concubine Chen, the emperor was even more grudged. Han Ge resigned from office after losing his beloved son.
Although Mr. Hange did not move away from Kyoto, he lived far away in the suburbs of the city, closed his doors to guests, and almost cut off all contact with civil and military officials.
There are so many ministers in the court, and those who are close to King Ling, and the one who is suitable to be the examiner is the right prime minister. King Ling can recommend the right prime minister, why did he mention Mr. Han Ge?
However, in terms of qualifications, it is true that Mr. Han is more suitable than the Prime Minister.
Furthermore, when it comes to relationships, they are closer to each other when they are older.
Because he is King Ling’s mentor.
When Prince Ling was enlightened, the emperor was planning to let Mrs. Yan teach Prince Ling how to read. Mrs. Yan thought that he was Prince Ling's grandfather and was not suitable to be Prince Ling's mentor, so he was harsh and affected the relationship between his grandfather and his grandson. If he is not strict, he is afraid that he will not be able to discipline King Ling well. If King Ling does not understand something, he can ask his grandfather for advice. However, his mentor, Mrs. Yan, recommended Mr. Han Ge to the emperor.
Eunuch Yuan looked at the emperor cautiously and saw that the emperor's face was ashen. The emperor was even more angry than that day when Prince Ling asked to worship at Concubine Chen's grave.
Prince Ling clearly knew that the tiger's buttocks couldn't be touched, so why did he insist on extending his hand?
The emperor endured it for a long time, but he couldn't bear it anymore. He slapped the table angrily and said, "There are so many civil and military ministers in the whole dynasty, but they are not enough for you to recommend. Do you only have one Mr. Hange in your eyes?!"
The emperor was so angry that he forgot that the parrot was still in the imperial study.
When a parrot is frightened, it will open its mouth and curse.
No, before Xie Jingyan could say anything, the parrot fluttered its wings and scolded him, "Why are you so angry? In the end, a big family business should not be inherited by your son. If you have the ability, take care of it yourself. If your son doesn't do what you want, you It’s just a matter of teaching him, he has no patience at all and scolds people all the time, you’re the only one who knows how to scold others, right?”
Xie Jingyan, "..."
Eunuch Yuan, "..."
The emperor's face turned green with anger, "Come here! Drag this parrot down for me to stew!"
