The emperor's heart alone

In February, scholars from all over the country gathered together to hold the imperial examination. In March, the results of the general examination were released. Some people were happy and some were worried. Under his leadership, he walked slowly into the Yuankun Hall.

In the Yuankun Hall, Shi Jungao sat on the dragon chair, looking down at the Jinshi who entered the hall.Learn literary and martial arts, sell to the emperor's family, the ancients are sincere and never deceive others, no matter he is a world-renowned scholar or a minister in the palace, which one is not working for the emperor?

Shi Junji saw Yu Zhaoming who was ranked fourth at a glance, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After everyone stood up in front of their desks, Shi Junji's voice sounded: "All Jinshi are my talents in the past three years in Daping, which is really rare. I am eager to seek talents, and I am the one who can get all Jinshi." The blessing of Daping."

All Jinshi lowered their heads and clasped their fists: "It is also our blessing that the grassroots are loved by the Holy One."

In this situation, Yu Zhaoming was a little distracted. He didn't know if it was his illusion. He always felt that the voice of the emperor was familiar, as if he had heard it not long ago.

Shi Junji waved his hand, and Zhang Dequan, who was standing beside him, took three steps forward, took out the test question in his hand, unfolded it, and read aloud the test question of the palace test.The Jinshi below listened carefully, and after the reading was finished, the Jinshi in the main hall began to write the questions.

Yu Zhaoming took a few deep breaths, calmed down his mind, no longer cared where he heard the voice, and began to concentrate on answering the paper.

The test papers for the hall examination were handed in on the spot, and only when everyone had finished their answers could they hand in the papers and leave the hall.It was still early for Yu Zhaoming to finish his answer, and the people around him were still writing hard. They checked the test paper carefully and put it down when they found nothing wrong.

Accidentally looking up and seeing Longyan, Yu Zhaoming was stunned for a moment, and then was shocked.The person sitting on the dragon chair is... the person next to Xu Yunjin?

Not just Xu Yunjin's friend, Yu Zhaoming swallowed secretly, the relationship between the two of them was more than that.Yu Zhaoming's mind was confused, he thought for a while that Shi Junji was actually the emperor, and for a while he wondered if he had offended Shi Junji at some point, he couldn't calm down at all for a while.

Shi Junji noticed Yu Zhaoming's gaze, and found that Yu Zhaoming was staring at him. Shi Junji nodded and smiled at Yu Zhaoming, and then looked away. Yu Zhaoming hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look up at Shi Junji again. look.I rejoiced in my heart, fortunately, I saw the emperor's real eyesight after finishing the answer, otherwise why would I still be in the mood to answer the paper?

After finally waiting for the test papers to be collected, Yu Zhaoming almost fled in despair.

Panicked, Yu Zhaoming subconsciously went to Xu's Mansion. When he arrived at Xu's Mansion, Xu Yunjin was returning from seeing Shao Peilan. Seeing the panic on Yu Zhaoming's face, thinking that today was the day of the imperial examination, he knew in his heart what Yu Zhaoming was How did it become like this.

Swiping away the waiters around him, he put the hot tea prepared by Qingpei in front of Yu Zhaoming: "Relax, it's nothing serious."

Yu Zhaoming glanced at Xu Yunjin, hesitant to speak.

"seen?"

Yu Zhaoming hesitated and nodded.

"Things are as you can see." Xu Yunjin smiled, "You don't need to be afraid, and you haven't made any mistakes. What are you afraid of? What's more, wouldn't it be more beneficial for you to have friendship with the emperor?"

Yu Zhaoming was depressed, Xu Yunjin said it nicely, but it really fell on the bright side, how many people dare to really have friendship with the emperor?Thinking about the relationship between Xu Yunjin and Shi Junji, Yu Zhaoming flinched unconsciously, and stared at Xu Yunjin with a weird look, Xu Yunjin didn't care, and Yu Zhaoming thought it was normal that he couldn't accept it for a while.

The room was very quiet, and any sound could be easily heard. Xu Yunjin suddenly heard a sound coming from the back room. His heart moved, and he knew that Shi Junji was coming. He saw Yu Zhaoming in a blink of an eye, hesitated for a while, but still did not stop Shi Junji. Come over here.

Shi Junji bypassed the screen and the inner door of the back room, and appeared in front of Xu Yunjin and Yu Zhaoming. Seeing that Yu Zhaoming was here, Shi Junji was obviously a little surprised.When Yu Zhaoming saw Shi Junji, he knelt down and shouted: "Caomin has seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Shi Junji gave an "en" and asked Yu Zhaoming to get up, and said to Xu Yunjin on the side: "The examination papers for the palace examination have already been reviewed, and the results will be released soon."

Xu Yunjin nodded to show that he understood, and his eyes fell on Zhaoming. Yu Zhaoming was still amazed that Xu Yunjin was so rude when he met Shi Jun. Thinking of the atmosphere between the two of them every time he saw him, Yu Zhaoming was sensible and didn't say much, and then Seeing Xu Yunjin looking at him, he thought the two of them had something to talk about, so they wanted to retreat.

It was Xu Yunjin who stopped him: "No need, since you know about our relationship, you must give me some advice."

Shi Junji said: "It's not appropriate to publicize it yet, it's good that you know it well."

Yu Zhaoming hurriedly said: "The grassroots will never publicize it, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Xu Yunjin frowned: "It doesn't have to be like this, how you got along before is still how you are now, wouldn't you be more restrained like this?" Looking at Shi Junji, "What are you afraid of him doing? Could it be that he will still treat you when I am here? How can it not work?"

Yu Zhaoming took a peek at Shi Junji, and seeing that there was no anger on Shi Junji's face, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the relationship between the two is really deep. Who would have thought that a majestic emperor would spoil someone so pampered?

Shi Junji originally came to Xu Yunjin to talk about the Jiang family's affairs, but now that Yu Zhaoming was present, he couldn't open his mouth, and there was something busy in the palace, so he had to leave first.After Shi Junji left, Yu Zhaoming breathed a sigh of relief, his mind was more flexible than at the beginning, and said: "Then I will take my leave first, and I will visit again later."

Xu Yunjin had a smile on his face and didn't hold back, he sent Yu Zhaoming directly to the door, when Yu Zhaoming was about to leave, he suddenly asked: "Zhaoming hasn't married yet, has he?"

Yu Zhaoming was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"Have you ever been engaged? Have you ever had a daughter to marry?"

Yu Zhaoming shook his head again.

Xu Yunjin smiled with satisfaction, and then let Yu Zhaoming leave. Yu Zhaoming was a little confused at first, not knowing why Xu Yunjin would suddenly ask himself this question, and suddenly thought that the Xu family still had a young lady who was never married, could it be... He suppressed the thoughts in his heart. Compared with the Xu family, their family is completely superior. How could such a thing happen?I didn't think about it any more, I just hurried back.

Three days later, the palace examination papers that had been reviewed were presented to Shi Junji. Shi Junji opened the first three papers first, and the third paper turned out to be Yu Zhaoming's paper. It looked completely different from other papers. Shi Junji After reading it in one go, I praised the word "Good", and then went to read the first two articles, and they were no more than close to each other. I am afraid that it was placed in the third article because of myself. Shi Junji swiped his pen, Yu Zhaoming was directly given the title of No. [-] Scholar, and the rest of No. [-] and No. [-] were left to others to decide.

In fact, if there is no special reason, the emperor will only read the first few articles every time he takes the imperial examination.It's just that this time Shi Junji looked through it purposefully, and found Xiang Yi's test paper directly.

Seeing that Xiang Yi's paper appeared at the bottom of the top two, Shi Junji put Xiang Yi's ranking in the top three without saying a word, and it was even worse than the result of the test. Now Shi Jun was very satisfied, so he sent the test paper to the top of the list. Hand it over to the person waiting below, and let him take these test papers back down.The reviewer who got the test paper again was surprised to see Shi Junji circled the number one scholar, and was even more surprised when he turned to the back to find that the emperor even ranked this man named Xiang Yi in the top three?

Someone exclaimed, "This Xiang Yi seems to be the son of Mr. Xiang Yiping."

Everyone was astonished. They didn't know whether it was Xiang Yi or Xiang Yiping who offended the emperor. How could the emperor drop Xiang Yi's rank without hesitation in such a major event as the imperial examination?Not even the slightest cover-up.

There are many people present who have good friends with Xiang Yiping, and even Xu Tao is among the reviewers this time. Seeing these results, he worried for Xiang Yiping while thinking about the emperor's intentions in his heart. Much quieter.

Shi Junji directly took the results of the palace examination and ran to find Xu Yunjin, but Xu Yunjin was not there. After asking, he found out that Xu Yunjin had gone to Yu Zhaoming's place. ?He even dared to "rob" the emperor's beloved.

But a few days later, the result of the palace examination was also down. Yu Zhaoming couldn't tell how he felt after knowing that he was the number one scholar. Yu Zhaoming didn't know whether it was Xu Yunjin's contribution or his real results. I buried my feelings of gratitude and excitement in my heart, and started to prepare for the parade, deer feast and other things.

How could Xu Yunjin not tell Xu Jiashi about such a happy event?Yu Zhaoming won the first prize, so Xu Jia must have a better impression of Zhaoming.Xu Jiashi was really happy when he heard the news, and immediately praised Yu Zhaoming's outstanding literary talents, and was very satisfied, as if Yu Zhaoming had now become his son-in-law.

Xu Yunjin finally calmed down, the rest of the matter is much easier, it is nothing more than waiting for the emperor to decree to grant the marriage, this is the least to worry about.Before Xu Jiashi mentioned his marriage, Xu Yunjin hurried out of Xu Jiashi's house, so as not to listen to Xu Jiashi's preaching again.

However, Xiang Fu, who received the news, looked completely different.Xiang Yiping has a lot of friends, and Shi Junji did this very clearly. It is inevitable that someone told Xiang Yiping about this matter. Xiang Yiping's first reaction was that he didn't know when he offended the emperor?However, after thinking about it, he didn't think clearly, and looking at the emperor's attitude and reuse of him, it was not the same as before.

Xiang Yiping really didn't understand what was going on, and in the end he could only bury his doubts in his stomach. Even facing the unbelievable and irritable Xiang Yi, Xiang Yiping didn't say anything about it. Now that the emperor has made a decision and the matter is a foregone conclusion, so what if Xiang Yi is informed?Just adding trouble.Because of this incident, Xiang Yiping became more and more cautious in court.

And Xiang Yi, although resentful and felt unfair, but his ability is very little, and he is a timid person who dares to speak out and dare not do anything, so he can only complain a few words verbally, and let it go.But if Tan Xiang heard about it, he would have to report to Xu Yunjin, and Xu Yunjin knew about Shi Junji, so how could he not know?After Xiang Yi's road to becoming an official became more and more difficult.
