Everyone's eyes gathered on Wu Shan, all wanting to know which scholar Wu Shan favored for the test paper.

Wu Shan looked at everyone's eyes and said for granted: "This test is not difficult, so it is difficult to show the truest level of scholars. Since the top ten scholars are hard to match, then... they should use the results of the imperial examination.

Sort!"

Sort by test scores?

When the Minister of Justice Huang Guangsheng and others heard this proposal, they couldn't help but look at each other, and secretly admired Wu Shan's skillful methods.

This proposal not only effectively avoids possible attacks, but also the seemingly fair decision is actually biased towards Lin Qingran. After all, the ranking of the examination was carried out according to Lin Qingran's willingness, and the first place was undoubtedly Huiyuan Chen Jinglun.

.

The smile on Xu Jie's face froze, but he didn't expect that Wu Shan would actually give this answer.

This proposal is obviously beneficial to Lin Qingran. If Wu Shan really succeeds, he will not only not "frame" Lin Qingran this time, but also his prestige as the chief assistant will also be weakened.

"I agree with this plan!"

It was at this moment that a weak voice came.

Huang Guangsheng, the Minister of Justice, and others originally wanted to see Xu Jie respond in this way, but at this time they all looked for a reputation and were shocked again on their faces.

Ahem...

Yuan Wei, who was sitting on the chair, had a sickly pale face. After making a statement, he coughed several times. After today's busy schedule, he looked obviously in a state of sluggishness.

However, at this important juncture, he resolutely chose to join this open and secret struggle, and stood on Wushan's side with a clear stand.

As soon as this statement was made, the situation changed dramatically.

The second assistant Yuan Wei and the Minister of Personnel Wu Shan stood on the same front. This was already a powerful alliance camp. Even Xu Jie needed to consider it carefully.

this……

Seeing such a strong alliance, Huang Guangsheng and others couldn't help but look at Xu Jie with concern. Things were already developing in an unfavorable direction in Xu Jie.

It’s not that Xu Jie cannot make a decision in one sentence, but that he creates an image of a “virtuous prime minister”, and the slogan he shouted on stage was “Government affairs and departments”.

If Xu Jie, despite the joint obstruction of Yuan Wei and Wu Shan, insisted on pushing Li Yidi to the first alternative position, then the image he has always created may be damaged.

However, if Xu Jie chooses to give in at this time, once the matter here is spread, the prestige of the prime minister will undoubtedly be damaged to a certain extent.

That's right, Xu Jie was already in a dilemma at this time, but he was not as calm as he had put Yan Shifan to death.

Yang Bo saw that the current situation was not conducive to Xu Jie, and knew that he could not continue to wait and see at this moment. Even if he could not succeed, he would stand up and support this ally.

Just when Yang Bo wanted to stand up and publicly support Xu Jie, Xu Jie smiled and said to everyone: "Since both Yue Jing and Maozhong are all this opinion, if you don't have any opinions, then we will try it out.

Sort the results!"

Huh?

Huang Guangsheng, the Minister of Justice, and others looked at Xu Jie as if nothing had happened, but they didn't know whether they should admire Xu Jie's generosity or learn from Xu Jie's forbearance.

Wu Shan looked at Xu Jie in surprise, but chose to remain silent.

"I agree!"

Zuodu Censor Zhang Yongming and others watched the play for a long time and knew that the play was about to come to an end. They heard that Xu Jie's tone of inquiry was routine and they also echoed the authenticity.

But after such a fuss, everyone has reexamined the always low-key Minister of Personnel Wu Shan. Today, it can be said that he has "drawn the sword".

"Haha... Fan Yingqi's paper is written too well for me. His papers are not sorted by the results of the exam. Is it good to give him the second place?" Dong Fen fully utilized his shameless character, but took the initiative to please him.

He said to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie kicked the ball to Wu Shan. Wu Shan also had no temper towards this shameless Dong Fen, but he returned to his usual calm expression and said, "As long as the Prime Minister agrees, I personally have no objection!"

Zuodu Censor Zhang Yongming and others saw Dong Fen behaved like this, and they really suspected that Fan Yingqi was actually his illegitimate son.

Someone got the list of the imperial examination and quickly checked the rankings of these ten scholars in the imperial examination.

Xu Jie did not join in the fun, and looked at Lin Weiran with a deep meaning.

His original intention was to cause trouble for Lin Qiran and put Lin Qiran as a favoritism. However, he did not expect that in order to protect Lin Qiran's reputation, Wu Shan resolutely stood up to protect his calf.

When Wu Shan stood up, his conspiracy was actually bankrupt. The Chief Auxiliary of the dynasty had a dispute with the Minister of Personnel over the first alternative to the palace examination. This is a very market-oriented topic and it can easily trigger the fierceness of the capital.

discuss.

When things are in a confusing way, everyone will arouse speculation from all parties, but after the matter is fully spread, Lin Qingran can easily prove his innocence.

Even if Li Yidi became the top scorer, everyone would no longer accuse Lin Qingran of being favored. After all, they already knew that it was the result of Xu Jie forcibly pushing Li Yidi to the first alternative position.

Xu Jie knew this. When Wu Shan stood up, he knew that his abacus had been smashed. But what he never expected was that Yuan Wei would stand up and openly support Wu Shan.

Now that things have developed to this point, especially when he saw Wu Shan showing a rare tough side, he felt a little uneasy in his heart and found that this person was really more threatening than Yuan Wei.

Lei Li, the Minister of Works, stood not far away, but was always paying attention to Xu Jie. When he saw Xu Jie's frowning face, a gloom flashed across his eyes.

Without much knowledge, the rankings of the ten scholars recommended by the examiner this time were completed!

The first place in the imperial examination was Chen Jingbang, Huazhou Prefecture, Fujian.

The 193rd place in the exam, Fan Yingqi, Huzhou Prefecture, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang.

The third place in the imperial examination was Yi Zaiting, Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili.

The 77th place in the imperial examination was Chen Dong, Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province.

The 92nd place in the imperial examination was Song Nuo, Hejian Prefecture, Northern Zhili.

The 116th place in the imperial examination was Zhou Duo, Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili.

The 185th place in the imperial examination was Xu Yuan, Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province.

The 215th place in the imperial examination was Tang Ximin, Chizhou Prefecture, Northern Zhili.

The 234th place in the imperial examination, Li Zihua, Jiaxing, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The 273rd place in the imperial examination, Feng Zijing, Hangzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang.

...

From the comparison between the top ten and the exam results, it can be seen that except for Chen Jingbang and Yi who strongly entered the top ten, the other eight in the exam were all low, which fully reflects the selection of this palace examination.

There are big differences between people and Lin Weiran's choice of candidates.

After finalizing everyone's order, except for Xu Jie and Yuan Wei staying in Xiyuan, the other eleven officials left Xiyuan one after another.

The next morning, the spring was bright.

The readers of the paper came to the Wanshou Palace together, followed by Chen Jingbang and ten selected scholars. They looked nervous and excited.

Although their ranking has not been finalized yet, as long as they don’t act too rudely before the emperor, they can get the status of a Hanlin Shujishi, and the top scholar will be born from ten of them.

cough……

Lin Weiran heard Chen Jingbang and Yi Zaiting whispering behind him, and coughed softly, and at the same time turned his head to give them a majestic look.

With age, he is now a legitimate teacher. Even if he really beats and scolds Xu Jingbang and Yi in the court, they dare not complain.

After hearing this slight movement, Xu Jingbang and Yi Zaiting were also astonished as chills. They lowered their heads and looked at their toes honestly, worried that their actions just now had left a bad impression on the teacher.

According to the process of the palace examination, Xu Jie led all the officials to Wanshou Palace to report the incident today. He first carried out the "reading process" in the palace, and then introduced the small book of books according to the name.

Not long after, Xu Jie, wearing a python robe, walked out of Wanshou Palace, but his brows were furious.

Seeing this, Dong Fen immediately stepped forward to inquire.

Xu Jie stopped at the two steps, and said in a complicated expression to everyone: "The emperor has an order!"

"I have received the order, long live my emperor!"

Officials, including Dong Fen who stepped forward, knelt down and said in a regular manner.

Lin Qingran was still thinking about his disciples, but he deliberately knelt down half a beat and found that one of them was standing. He was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood.

Xu Jie faced the crowd kneeling on the ground, and then he whispered with his hands in a serious manner: "Now the scholars are full of knowledge, and they are the masters of pillars. The volumes selected by your ministers are very much my heart! Reading the volumes and biography
