Chapter 52
That morning, all civil and military officials were exempted from a day of morning court and could go directly to the mansion to work.
There is a solemn and solemn scene in Tai Chi Palace and Tai Chi Palace.
The Taiji Hall, in theory, was the main place where the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty listened to politics and the court. On the first day of the first day of the first day and the fifteenth day, the emperor visited this hall to meet the ministers and the court listened to politics.
In addition, the emperor ascended the throne, enthroned the empress, crown prince, princess, princess ceremony and banquets for tribute envoys are also held in this hall.
Therefore, important matters such as the Golden Palace Imperial Examination are also arranged here.
In the huge temple, four rows and six table tables were arranged, totaling twenty-four sheets, plus twenty-four seat cushions.
Under such conditions, it is impossible to sit on a chair.
It can only be a small table and a cushion.
This is the case with the highest standard treatment.
Twenty-four people who took the imperial examination entered one after another and kowtowed to Emperor Xuanzong who was high above and sat on the dragon throne.
In the left row, Yao Yi is the leader, and in the right row, Miao Di is the leader.
These two people are also considered to be the candidates who are most likely to be valued by the emperor.
After all, I just made great contributions to treating locusts and received a reward.
When everyone sat down, Emperor Xuanzong rushed to Ji Min, the Minister of Personnel, and said, "Ji Aiqing, let's start."
Ji Min was less than forty years old and was an official who was successful in his youth. He was honest and highly valued by Emperor Xuanzong.
The little eunuch who was doing things took apart the burnt test paper and handed it to Ji Min.
After Ji Min was checked, she confirmed that it was correct and then handed over to the eunuch to the twenty-four candidates.
When he saw Shen Buyi in the corner, he couldn't help but be stunned.
This person was very ill. After thinking about it after scrambling his head, he still couldn't figure it out. He was the descendant of the prince and noble family.
Maybe it's a child from an outdoor room.
He gave himself a thoughtful explanation.
After getting the test questions, Shen Buyi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Sure enough, he was betrayed by himself. This time, the questions in the Jindian Imperial Examination were exactly how to purify the officialdom and eliminate corrupt officials.
Shen Buyi was secretly happy, but after looking around, he found that most of them were people, and he was still scratching his head, and he couldn't think of any way to solve the problem for a while.
Only Yao Yi and Miao Di are writing quickly.
Shen Buyi, who was originally planning to start writing, put down his pen again.
Although this imperial examination is very important to him, he does not want to be too active. After all, he is a humble person. None of the people here have a deep background. At the very least, his father must be a third-rank official.
Therefore, you must never become a thorn in the eyes of these people or a thorn in the flesh. Therefore, you must start writing later and act lower-key.
Bored, Shen Buyi even secretly studied the inkstone in front of him.
This is a real Duan inkstone.
According to records in historical books, Duan inkstone is solid and lubricated. The ink is grinding with Duan inkstone without stagnation, and the ink is produced quickly. The ink is fine and smooth, and the writing is smooth and does not damage the hair. The color of the handwriting remains unchanged for a long time. If Duan inkstone is good, whether it is hot or severe winter, press the heart of the inkstone with your hand. The heart of the inkstone is blue and dark green, and the water vapor will not dry for a long time. Therefore, the ancients said that "grinding ink with breath" is said.
Good things are a good thing, and Shen Buyi even wanted to put the inkstone back.
Finally, when most people started writing, Shen Buyi slowly dipped in the ink, and his pen was like a dragon and snake, and he started writing. As a university teacher, he still had some basic skills in writing. Although he wrote very few brushes, he still had the foundation after all.
One hour later, the time for answering the questions was reached, and twenty-four candidates stood up, left quietly, and waited outside the hall for the decree.
On this side, Ji Min put away the answer sheets of twenty-four people. The test papers of these candidates only had seat numbers and no names. Even so, Ji Min had to paste the seat numbers on paper before presenting them to the emperor.
The final decision was all in the hands of the emperor alone.
Emperor Xuanzong took it and read it briefly. Although he had no name, Emperor Xuanzong could also vaguely see which one was from Yao Yi and that one was from Miao Di.
Both of them were deeply influenced by their father. The whole article was well-behaved and there was no excellence.
But it is also written reasonably.
It is nothing more than suggesting that the emperor has more supervision systems for officials and send people to inspect various prefectures and counties regularly.
I read a few more articles, most of which are similar.
I think it’s not entirely because of these high-ranking officials. They have never even been an official for a day, and they know how to rectify officials.
Emperor Xuanzong couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After reading more than a dozen copies, he handed the remaining test papers to Ji Min.
"Ji Aiqing, come and see for me."
At this time, the young men waiting outside gathered together in groups of three or three to chat.
Shen Buyi was safe and found a corner, leaned against the wall, and then took a nap.
Since I started my student days, after class, my favorite thing is of course to sleep in.
Therefore, in this life, there seems to be a trend to carry forward this hobby.
Yao Yi suddenly came over mysteriously.
Squat down against him.
"Brother Shen, discuss something with you."
"Young Master Yao, don't discuss anything? Please give me instructions if you have any questions."
Shen Buyi looked ahead.
"I heard that Deyue Tower was opened by you and Miao Di together."
Shen Buyi was stunned at first, and then smiled. No wonder the business of Deyuelou has been so good recently. Miao Di's encouragement is inevitable.
"Yes, Master Miao has a unique vision. He saw that I was a business genius, so..." Before he finished speaking, Yao Yi came over with a smile.
"Brother Shen, we have such a good relationship. You see, what kind of money-making business is there? I will also buy a share."
"Inappropriate, inappropriate."
Shen Buyi shook his head, "Young Master Yao's tutoring is very strict. How could Prime Minister Yao allow his son to do business?"
Yao Yi smiled.
"This is simple, just like Miao Di, I only invest and never interfere in the business, how about it?"
"It's true that there is business, but it's probably impossible to do anything if you have three or five thousand taels of silver."
Shen Buyi shook his head and said.
Yao Yi blushed a little, remembering what he said to Shen Buyi that day, and was thrown back to his face today by someone.
"This, this, Brother Shen, I really don't have much money in my hands, but if you look back and choose a few of my antiques, calligraphy and paintings, how about it?"
A capital letter immediately rose in Shen Buyi's heart.
Yao Yi, Yao Yi, you obviously want to fake my hand to sell antiques, but he fuckingly said it was so fresh and refined.
He is worthy of being the prime minister's son, and he speaks fuckingly.
