==Chapter 44 Huiyuan==

After noon, the footsteps at the door of Yangxin Hall stopped.

More than 40 officials lined up to meet the saint.

But most of them were matters such as which house had been robbed, which official had robbed the widow, etc. It was almost settled by Youshi.

Xiao Yu rubbed his brows and was about to enter Jingren Palace when he heard Duke Sheng say: "Your Majesty, Xu Bowei, the imperial censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, has something to report."

"Let him in."

A fold was handed over, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

The disasters in Weinan and Huaiyin are serious, and 80% of crops will be harvested next year. Xiao Yu just discussed with the cabinet yesterday to exempt the disaster-stricken counties from taxes, and then Zhejiang's tax revenue will make up for the shortfall this year.

The Zhejiang Textile Bureau put an end to the problem.

Xu Bowei reported that Zhejiang's Weaving Bureau alone had investigated millions of corruption cases, not to mention river dam projects.

‌million.

Xiao Yu stood up and slammed the book on the table, and said angrily in a cold voice: "One million, the rice storage in Zhejiang is only 545,000 shi, one million, they How brave!"

Xu Bowei bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

They say they want to calm down, but Xu Bowei knows in his heart that the deeper the court digs, the harder it will be to calm down.

Twenty years after Yongchang, Dazhou had already reached a step that was hard to return to.

In this year, the new emperor worked hard to eradicate the long-standing abuses and restore some vitality to the court. However, the ice was not as cold as a day, and the roots were already rotten. How could it be possible to decorate the new leaves? Whitewashed?

Xiao Yu has been fighting corruption these years. At first, he wanted to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. He would investigate and deal with every one he saw without mercy. But a year later, he couldn't help but sigh: "If we continue to investigate like this, will anyone still go to court?" ?"

"Xu Bowei."

"I am here."

"I leave this matter to you. The money copied from ‌ must be brought to the disaster-stricken county as soon as possible. Weinan was hit by another earthquake. First, all the houses built collapsed, and then the money was no longer available. , the people will soon be out of food." Xiao Yu took a deep breath and said: "In addition, the excess satin, grain, and wood from the royal warehouse, the Ministry of Revenue, Guanglu Temple and other yamen were also brought in. ‌Let’s go.”

Xu Bowei's throat became sore and he said: "I accept the decree."

When Xu Bowei left, it was already Haishi.

Xiao Yu frowned as he looked at the news in front of him, the successive disasters, the endless corruption, and the annual shortage of food for the border soldiers...

He felt a sudden pain in his chest and his body swayed.

Eunuch Sheng was shocked, "Your Majesty!"

"I'm fine." Xiao Yu whispered.

Eunuch Sheng said quickly: "Your Majesty, Ning Yuan is saying that your injuries have been healed since 2001, and you can't bear the cold. Otherwise, Xuanyuan should come over and take a look. ”

Xiao Yu said: "When is it now?"

Sheng Gongzheng said: "At the moment of Haishi."

"I'll call Ning Shengbo tomorrow morning. I'll go to Jingren Palace first. There's no need to ask anyone to follow."

Jingren Palace was silent. When Zhu Xin saw the emperor, he immediately bowed and whispered: "I have seen your majesty."

"Can your master rest?"

"Yes." Zhu Xin paused and said, "I will wake Jieyu up now."

"No need." Xiao Yu raised his head and pushed open the door. He saw that there was no one in the hall. His right hand trembled slightly and said, "Where is the person?"

Zhu Xin said quickly: "Jieyu rested at the eldest prince's place tonight."

Xiao Yu was startled and walked towards the yard next door.

He pushed the door open and saw that everyone inside the curtain was asleep. He sat quietly on a round stool and looked at it for a long time.

I planned to sit for a while and then leave. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yun arched her body in the middle of the night and said in a sweet voice: "Auntie."

Xiao Yu couldn't help but frowned when he heard this title.

Qin Juan woke up immediately when she heard Xiao Yun's voice, squinted her eyes and patted his back, "Are you thirsty? Huh?"

Xiao Yun hummed.

Qin Juan stood up and said vaguely: "Wait, I will get you some water."

The man pursed his lips and his jaw tightened.

Qin Juan yawned, put on her shoes, touched the teapot, and heard the sound of water being poured...

Qin Yan raised her beautiful eyes and met Xiao Yu's eyes. She couldn't help but stumbled and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Yu hummed.

Then he stood up and sat next to Xiao Yun with a cup in hand.

Xiao Yu helped his son sit up, held his little face with his palms, and said, "Drink water."

However, the little prince could drink it with his eyes closed. After swallowing it, he pursed his lips and lay down straight.

Qin Juan looked at the man in the white dragon-patterned robe, her heart pounding, and she thought repeatedly about how she could have made the mistake.

She was completely frightened.

She whispered: "Your Majesty...when did you come here?"

Xiao Yu‌‌ looked at her and said slowly: "It's been a while, come here."

Qin Juan walked to his side.

Xiao Yu pulled her waist, stroked her cold fingertips, looked into her eyes and said, "Are you scared?"

Qin Juan nodded and said truthfully: "Yes."

After saying that, she shook the emperor's hand and said softly: "Your Majesty is here, why are you silent? But are you resting here?"

Xiao Yu looked at her, his heartbeat gradually calmed down, and after a long silence, he said: "You can rest, I have something else to do, I will come back another day."

**********

As soon as February comes, it’s time to take the test.

This year is special. The imperial examination and martial arts examination are held only ‌ days apart, so they can be considered as simultaneous examinations. Xiao Yu personally appointed two examiners for the imperial examination and 18 examiners for the military examination. There are two examiners and eighteen co-examiners.

The National Science Examination is the same as the local examination, and there are a total of ‌ examinations.

The first session is a test on the Four Books and Five Classics, the second session is a test on official documents and judgments, and the third session is a test on policy questions.

Everyone knows that the new emperor intends to promote poor families and is thirsty for talents, so this year's candidates are the largest in history, with a total of six thousand.

The more candidates there are, the more difficult the questions will be.

No, most of the candidates who came from Gongyuan today were shaking.

The man in brown cloth made a "tsk" sound and said: "This year's questions are really difficult, especially the sentence in the second game. Is this someone who has memorized the entire Dazhou Law? ”

Tang Wen also sighed.

He patted Huai Jing on the shoulder, "Huai Jieyuan! How did you do in the exam?"

Huaijing said: "It's okay."

"Is it still possible?" Tang Wendao said: "Are you sure you will pass the Jinshi examination?"

There were people all around him. Huaijing coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "Yes."

Tang Wen instantly felt that he had met his soulmate. He smacked his mouth and said, "Today..."

Since he has been practicing Mandarin recently, he changed his words: "Today I will go drinking with you! We will never come back until we get drunk! The days are long, and who said you will have to go to high school as soon as you get drunk! Right!"

Huaijing subconsciously touched the tip of his nose, clicked ‌, and let out a low hum.

In addition to the twenty examiners, this year's imperial examination also has hundreds of marking officers, so the results are faster than usual.

In order to ensure fair selection and prevent candidates from making marks on the papers, all test papers seen by the examiners were re-written by scribes, called Zhu Juan.

Only when it is time to fill in the A list, the red scroll and the ink scroll will be opened together.

On February 14th, all the examiners gathered together to fill in the A list. Except for the names, the order was controlled by the examiner.

Only ‌‌A can be written after joint discussion.

Almost every year, even during the Yongchang years, these examiners would fight to the death, but this year it was much more harmonious.

The Minister of Rites stroked the red scroll and said: "Huaijing, named Sibo, where is he from?"

"Looking at the yellow book, it is the Huai family of Shandong. I remember that the Huai family was also a Jinshi in his early years, and he was also a good poet."

"I'd like to see what kind of person he is."

On the day when the list was released, the scholars arrived at the gate of Gongyuan early in the morning. The clerk who posted the list posted the list, tore off the wanted notice at the door and threw it on the table.

Another person said: "Why did you tear down the portrait of the rebellious minister and traitor?"

"Hey, it doesn't matter. They are everywhere in the capital. I remember his face is more familiar than my wife's. If he stands in front of me, I can definitely see him at a glance. It doesn't matter whether he is close or not. , don’t let the gold list get bad luck.”

"Come on, come on, give in."

The gold list is like a scroll slowly unfolding in front of everyone.

Tang Wen's eyes went straight to the last one, and when he saw it, his heart skipped a beat, and further up, the last one, it was his name!

He laughed loudly and said to Huai Jing: "Brother Huai Jing! I'm hit! I'm hit!"

Huaijing said: "Congratulations."

"What about you?" Tang Wen continued to look backwards. When he saw the fifth number, his heart was already cold. He raised his eyes while hitting Huai Jing's arm, "You shouldn't ‌‌‌Go drink! If you..."

Huiyuan: Huaijing.

Tang Wen's voice suddenly rose, "This is called success? This is called ‌certainty! Brother Huai! This is Huiyuan!"

The little official who just posted the list stepped on Su Huai'an's portrait, looked at Huaijing and said, "Congratulations!"

Huaijing looked at the words "Repeated Offender Su Huai'an" at his feet, suddenly chuckled, raised his eyes and said, "Thank you."

After Gongyuan published the list, Yangxin Hall got the list of this year’s Jinshi.

After a while, Lu Ze walked in.

Xiao Yu looked at him and said, "How is the martial arts exam going?"

Lu Ze was one of the examiners of this martial arts examination. Naturally he knew who the emperor was asking. He said directly: "Qin Suizhi's skills and bravery are better than those of the minister. He has archery, horse riding, riding, and shooting. The step shot is not the most impressive, but it is still passed in one attempt. When we get to the infield, it is a literary test, so he will have no problem."

After saying that, Lu Ze coughed lightly and said, "Has the list of Jinshi from the Ministry of Rites been sent?"

Xiao Yu threw the zhezi to him.

Lu Ze took it with both hands and sighed, as expected.
