Your Majesty, please do not

After Ma Huanzhen finished his speech, the person next to Liang Huan suddenly stood up and said loudly to the stage: "Boss, do you really think your play is very good?"

The eyes of the entire lobby were focused on him, Liang Huan cast a look at Chen Zhizhi and smiled brightly.

"First of all, He Jing is just a scholar, how can he have the qualifications to be an official in the court? Secondly, He Jing actually said this in front of Sun Chen. He is tired of working? And , Sun Chen's Longevity Day is May [-]th, which is the same day as Daping's current Longevity Day, who do you think is Sun Chen? I think you don't want to open this theater!"

There was a burst of laughter and sparse applause in the whole theater building, and someone yelled at Ma Huanzhen, "Don't perform such a bad show" and "Huanzhen Pavilion will close down soon".

Liang Huan hurriedly pulled the statement, and slipped away before the money collector came out.

On the way, Chen Zhi kept his eyes down and laughed non-stop, patted Liang Huan on the shoulder and said, "You really know a lot, I don't even know when Longevity Day is."

"Then you write it down, you will be an official in the court in the future, and you will have a congratulatory form on the Longevity Day."

Hearing him say this, the statement became suspicious: "Haven't you never been to the capital? How do you even know this kind of thing?"

Liang Huan secretly groaned, he must have to ask about his life experience again.

Back in the room, he pushed the door to let the statement in, and he followed behind, leaning against the door and said: "Family background and identity, I will definitely tell you within a month.—No, only half a month is left. Others You can ask whatever you want, okay?"

Listening to him asking casually, the statement really started to ask: "Okay, what is your birthday?"

"May 26th, [-]th year of Zhenxian."

"age?"

"nineteen."

The statement was just to calculate whether the age and birth date could be matched, and found no other clues.

"Nation?"

"Jinju."

"height?"

"Six feet one."

"Who are the relatives in the capital?"

"...A month is agreed upon."

"Okay. How many years have you been studying?"

"Almost ten years."

"Do you have any fame?"

"No."

"Why not?"

Liang Huan was very helpless when he was asked, and frowned: "What are you asking? Do you think that everyone is like you and only knows about reading and taking exams. Can't you ask me what I like?"

"Oh..." Chen Zhi thought for a while, and asked carefully, "Then, what do you like to eat?"

"Sweet bean curd."

"What's your favorite book?"

""Shishuoxinyu"."

"What place do you like?"

"A rockery in my garden."

"What do you like to do?"

"Go out and wander around."

"Who do you like most?"

Liang Huan almost blurted out "I don't seem to like anything", but he managed to react in time and coughed heavily, "Chen Xingli, did you do it on purpose? One of the questions..."

Chen Zhi twitched the corners of his lips, and said flatly: "Yes, it was on purpose."

When he said this, Liang Huan assumed that he had finished asking, and went into the house to light a charcoal fire without saying a word.

"You haven't answered yet." His low voice suddenly came from behind.

Does this question still need to be answered?Liang Huan had no choice but to turn around and face him, and said a little perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, I like you the most, okay?"

At the beginning, I could say this without shame, but after a long time, I became more and more embarrassed.

When he looked over there again, he found that Chen Zhi lowered his head and his face was solemn.Liang Huan didn't care about his emotions, but asked: "The two candidates who lived next door, didn't they pass the exam? Why don't you go back?"

"It is said that it is a few days to play in the capital before leaving."

Listening to the lonely voice of the statement, Liang Huan felt that he had become more and more thoughtful recently, and could not understand more and more.I don't know what he was thinking about there, but I guess it doesn't have much to do with me, so I don't care about him.

Gao Kaiyan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites and deputy chief examiner of the imperial examination, walked into the room where the examiners were grading papers.There are three deputy chief examiners in this palace examination, because the nominal chief examiner is the emperor, and the emperor can't really spare time to manage the palace examination, so the highest-ranking deputy chief examiner becomes the actual supervisor.

The other deputy chief examiner, Luo Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of War, took a copied list and handed it to Gao Kaiyan.

Gao Kaiyan took the list, flipped through it casually, and was suddenly surprised.

Why are the rankings of the two candidates in Yongzhou reversed? !

Gao Kaiyan read the examination papers and knew that he had won two candidates from Yongzhou.One is called Wang Qian and the other is called Shuzhi.

Wang Qian's essays for the meeting were very well-regulated, and he appreciated the writing.But the outrageousness of the statement surprised him, and he kept sneering at it.

And in the palace examination papers, two of them used the Yongzhou incident as an example, so he concluded that it was the two Yongzhou people.

After the evaluation by other examiners, these two copies happened to be placed in the top two of the second class.He felt that the well-behaved No. 1 paper was Wang Qian's paper, so he didn't move this ranking.And No. 2 of the second class was surprisingly successful, so he regarded it as the test paper of the statement.

He hated the absurd remarks about the test, and no matter how other examiners praised him, he just pulled it out and let others get him into the top three.

Pity the examiners, who scribbled and corrected the marks of the review, and drew the ticks into crosses.

Unexpectedly, after the name was removed, No. 1 in the second class would instead state it, and the one in the third class was Wang Qian.

"How could this happen!" Gao Kaiyan was so angry that his hands shook, he couldn't speak clearly, "No, you can't post it like this! Change it, change it! It must be changed..."

But Luo Yu said: "Your Majesty ticked it off and didn't move a single one. Now it has been transcribed and archived. If you want to change it, I'm afraid you have to go to Your Majesty to tell it."

Gao Kaiyan pinched the three words "Statement" on the list with his fingers, and the paper was almost torn by him, "Your Majesty must be in Weiyang Palace at this moment, I'm going to see His Majesty! —— You and I go together."

At Youshi, the sky was dark, and in the courtyard in front of Weiyang Palace, the two vice-examiners of the palace examination had been kneeling for several hours.

Liang Huan handed the paper in his hand to Gao Kaiyan who was kneeling at his feet, and lazily said: "I don't understand the article, but the strategy is good. What did you give? No.1 in the second class? I think it's okay."

"Your Majesty, take a look at this." Gao Kaiyan held the other pieces of paper above his head.

Liang Huan had read the exam paper that was presented to him, but since Gao Kaiyan brought it, he didn't mind reading it again.

Liang Huan was reluctant to return this paper to Gao Kaiyan, so he held it by himself, glanced at the kneeling person on the ground, raised his eyebrows and said: "It's really hard for you to turn out the paper that others know how to test, the next step Are you going to go through the rural examination, the college examination, and the children's examination?"

"I dare not."

"Gao Shangshu, you are an official of the Ministry of Rites, why can't you even be an examiner? You have to change the ranking after dismantling the papers, and even take out other people's meeting papers as stolen goods. How can there be such a rule?"

Gao Kaiyan directly kowtowed, "I am guilty. But if this rebellious person is really allowed to become No. 1 in the second class, I am afraid that people in the world will criticize the imperial court and cause chaos!"

He didn't expect that the emperor, who usually didn't care about anything, was so obsessed with the ranking of this paper.In his impression, Liang Huan was easy to talk to.

Liang Huan soon realized that if he couldn't continue arguing with this person, no one would be able to convince anyone, and he felt that he couldn't quarrel with the Minister of Rites, who was about to return his tongue in half a year.

He decided to use his authority to return all the papers to Gao Kaiyan, and simply said: "Okay, the ranking will be as it is now, I won't allow it to be changed."

Gao Kaiyan became a little anxious, knowing that Liang Huan insisted on suppressing him, he could do nothing, so he accidentally confided in his heart: "Your Majesty is in his prime, and it is right to judge people by their appearance, but you must not be seduced by thieves... I have the duty of admonishing and advising, if you allow a sycophant to approach your majesty, criticize the state policy, and shake the law, you will never be able to absolve yourself of the blame..."

Gao Kaiyan knew that he was courting death by saying this, but as a self-proclaimed loyal minister, he just wanted to say this.

It took Liang Huan a while to understand what he meant by "judging people by their appearance", and he was so angry that he wanted to hit him, but Gao Kaiyan couldn't kill him, beat him, scold him, there was nothing he could do about him.

So Liang Huan didn't answer his words, he left his seat and walked in, "If you want to kneel, go kneel in the yard, I'm going to bed."

Gao Kaiyan obediently moved to the yard and knelt down. He turned his head and said to Luo Yu, "Go back and ask all the examiners below you to come."

It was already night, and the examiners were still sorting out the test papers.Luo Yu hurried back to talk about the kidnapping.We discussed it, and in order not to make the boss too ugly, we decided to send a few homeless people to accompany him to kneel.

Liang Huan thought that after waking up, the three kneeling people would go away tactfully, but he didn't expect that not only the three of them were still there, but also a group of people kneeling behind them, a dozen people crowded the Weiyang Palace. The yard is magnificent.

What is even more sympathetic is that there were a few drops of rain in the middle of the night last night. Although it was not heavy, the hair and clothes of the people in the yard were all wet, and they looked very embarrassed.

Knowing that those in the back are also examiners, Liang Huan sighed while holding his forehead. Who will watch the writing and posting of the palace exam?I am really blind to find such a person to take charge of the palace test.

Liang Huan told Lu Yin: "Let them do what they should."

Lu Yin drove everyone away in the courtyard, and the courtyard immediately became quiet, leaving Gao Kaiyan alone, still kneeling there motionless, with disheveled hair and half-wet half-dry clothes.

After retiring from the court, Liang Huan returned to Weiyang Palace, seeing only a group of guards left in the courtyard, he thought that Gao Kaiyan finally knew the difficulty and retreated.Unexpectedly, the eunuch in charge of Weiyang Palace ran over and said in a panic: "Gao Shangshu fainted, and the servants have been moved to the side hall..."

Passed out?Liang Huan looked at the sky. From last night to now, he was either freezing or drenched.The person in charge of the palace examination is still in Weiyang Palace, and no one is making decisions there, so he has to go to the side hall to see the situation.

Gao Kaiyan didn't faint, but his legs and feet were frozen and he couldn't kneel. He collapsed on the ground, but his consciousness was still clear.

When he saw Liang Huan coming in, he struggled to get up and salute, but he couldn't control his hands and feet, and was finally pushed back on the bed by the imperial physician.

Liang Huan glanced at him, and asked the imperial physician beside him, "Is he alright?"

The imperial doctor said: "Gao Shangshu is fine, it's just that he is tired and caught a cold, and his body is hard to move. The minister has already ordered the medicine to be decocted, plus..."

"It's fine." Liang Huan didn't bother to listen.

He walked to the bed, looked at Gao Kaiyan curled up under the quilt, and frowned.

This guy is only in his 40s, and he has already become a minister of the Ministry of Rites.Although he is not old, he has always had the problem of old men: pedantry.

Young people in the Ministry of Rites, like Bai Wanlai, demanded reform of the ritual system time and time again, but he always obstructed it in every possible way.What's more, what he said yesterday was really too much. It's not his turn to comment on what relationship he has with the statement and what he does for him.

Liang Huan seemed to be very concerned, and said to Gao Kaiyan: "Gao Shangshu has served the court for many years, and it can be regarded as dedicated. It's just that I don't know how to cherish my body, and I can't do it when I am in my prime. I can only show grace It is worthy of Gao Shangshu I's hard work."
