After ten years of second-level assistant and three years of first-level assistant, no one dared to challenge Xu Jie's status so far, but Wu Shan, the Minister of Personnel, stood up.

Wu Shan had a standard national face, medium body, bright eyes, and always gave people a low-key and old-fashioned impression. His style of conduct tends to be alone and he also maintains respect for Xu Jie.

But at this moment, he suddenly stood up and clearly opposed Xu Jie's decision, looking at Xu Jie with unprecedented firmness.

this……

When the officials saw Wu Shan expressing his opinion like this, they immediately became petrified, as if they saw a dragon coming out of the water, and even some people had goose bumps.

Not to mention others, even Xu Jie himself did not expect Wu Shan to have such an attitude. He looked at Wu Shan, who was like a sword unsheathed, and was stunned.

Wu Shan ignored the surprised gaze present, but expressed his opinion to Xu Jie with a blank expression: "Li Yidi's article is too flattering, and the whole article is actually nothing. This palace examination cannot be ranked first!"

The voice is not loud, but it reveals an inconvenient attitude and a very tough attitude.

They also objected, but the weight of the dignified Minister of Personnel is no longer comparable to that of Dong Fen and Lin Weiran.

The most important thing is that Wushan was a Tanhualang in the 14th year of Jiajing. He had 360 disciples, served as the Minister of Personnel for several years, and was also the leader of Qingliu. His reputation and influence were actually above Xu Jie.

Now he openly expressed his opposition clearly, and the weight of this was no less than a bombshell.

Xu Jie didn't know whether he was beaten to the point of helplessness or was so angry that he couldn't speak, but he looked at Wu Shan without saying a word with resentment.

Wu Shan is an official with a deep traditional concept and has always placed his position. After all, Xu Jie's qualifications and status are above him, but there will be a bottom line in everything.

Facing Xu Jie's stare, he did not avoid the other party's eyes. With some of his height advantages, he could slightly look down at the short Xu Jie.

The two eyes met, and sparks were generated in the air.

Gu...

When Dali Temple Minister Zhang Shouzhi saw the "gods fighting", he swallowed and spitted secretly. This would be a scene that he would never forget in his life.

cough……

Yan Ne, the Minister of Revenue, coughed lightly, but gave Zuo Tongzheng envoy Liu Tiqian.

Liu Tiqian understood the truth and immediately acted as a front pawn and said, "The lower official thought that this matter should be made by Yuanshu..."

"Ziyuan, do you still remember how I taught you this back then?" Wu Shan heard that Liu Tiqian was trying to favor Xu Jie, but directly interrupted and questioned.

Liu Tiqian felt nervous immediately and quickly bowed like a good person and said, "Disciple is wrong!"

The Hanlin Ci ministers are here. Many officials in the court have serious imperial examinations and are easily attracted by the status of teachers and students, and they have to call them "teacher".

Liu Tiqian participated in the Shuntian Provincial Examination in the 22nd year of Jiajing. The deputy examiner of the provincial examination that year was Wu Shan, who was the Hanlin student at the time, but the two of them had the status of teachers and students.

Although Liu Tiqian hugged Xu Dang's thigh and also sat in the position of the third-rank Zuo Tongzheng envoy, if he was scolded by Wu Shan in person today, his career would probably end.

disciple?

Huang Guangsheng, the Minister of Justice, and others were slightly stunned and looked at Wu Shan in disbelief.

I thought Liu Tigan would rush up to bite Wu Shan without hesitation, but he immediately shook his tail and beg for mercy. I found that Wu Shan was really "if you don't make a sound, you'll make a big splash."

Yan Ne sighed sadly when he saw this situation, but he didn't expect that Wu Shan and Liu Tigan had a relationship with teachers and students, so he personally pulled up his sleeves and went into battle and said, "Shangshu Wu, the chief reading officer of this time is Yuan. Lord Fu, the first choice should be based on Lord Yuan Fu's opinions!"

When Yan Ne first became the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Yuan Wei, the current Ming sub-supervisor, served as the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Wu Shan was in charge of the Ministry of Rites.

Since Wu Shan was his boss and Wu Shan took good care of him at that time, although he stood up to support Yu Xu Jie, he did not dare to act too tough.

"Even if the emperor is wrong, the ministers must correct it, let alone Yuan Fu? It would be fine if Lord Yuan Fu asked the question that was not appropriate now. I would choose a scholar who is so flattering in the article as the first choice. I firmly disagree!" Wu Shan naturally could not treat Yan Ne as much as Liu Tigan, but his tone was also unceremonious and objected.

this……

Huang Guangsheng, the Minister of Justice, and others, saw Wu Shan's attitude so hard, could not help but look at Xu Jie secretly.

Just now, many people thought that Xu Jie was very clever in playing this trick, so they directly tricked Lin Qingran, making Lin Qingran bear a bad reputation for being favored.

But he obviously missed someone. Wu Yuejing was really not a good-looking guy. He just made the situation take a sharp turn.

Seeing that the situation had developed to this point, Lin Xuran also looked up at his father-in-law Wu Shan. While feeling slightly moved, he found that he should really re-examine this cheap father-in-law who acted in a low-key manner.

Dong Fen first looked at Lin Weiran, but suddenly stood up and joined in the fun and said, "Shangshu Wu, you can't say that! Everyone has their own preferences for the good or bad articles. We must follow the public review of the paper!"

"If you are serious about being fair, you will not recommend Fan Yingqi, and you will not yell at the top scorer before you open the seal!" Wu Shan replied mercilessly.

this……

Dali Temple Minister Zhang Shouzhi and others watched Wu Shan tear open Dong Fen's hypocritical veil. Although they felt that Wu Shan was too ruthless, they felt particularly relieved.

Fan Yingqi was able to study in the Imperial College through donating rice. He was able to become a supervisor who was qualified to participate in the imperial examination by relying on the provincial examination treatment of the Imperial College student, and only won 193 places in this examination.

However, Dong Fen, who was shameless, recognized Fan Yingqi's paper by identifying his handwriting and tried to push this fellow townsman in Wucheng County to the top scorer.

Now, listening to Wu Shan criticizing Dong Fen so much, how could he not feel happy when he saw Dong Fen, who had always been arrogant, eat it?

Dong Fen's face turned red, but he was afraid to argue when facing Wu Shan, who looked calm and sharp.

Although he had already led the Minister of Works, his job was the Left Minister of Personnel, and the other party was the Minister of Personnel. If he really had a strong argument with Wu Shan, he would probably run away with the title of "being guilty of the following". Not lost.

The most important thing is that even though he is very thick-skinned, this matter is indeed unreasonable. He really tried to elect his fellow villager Fan Yingji to become the top scholar.

It was at this moment that Xu Jie, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and asked with a gentle smile on his face, "Brother Yue Jing, but I don't know who you want to recommend?"

Huang Guangsheng, the Minister of Justice, and others, immediately lit up when they heard this question of retreating to advance. As long as Wu Shan showed the candidate he recommended, Xu Jie could completely criticize the test papers recommended by Wu Shan, and thus make the scene.

Retrieve it back.
