The emperor dragged Chen Changfeng and asked him to continue blending the wine.
The newly blended wine was snatched away by Qi Yue in a flash before it was even heated, and he disappeared.
The emperor would not let Chen Changfeng go and directly told him that he would have a drink here today.
None of the other guys spoke for Chen Changfeng, but followed Chen Changfeng and stared at him closely.
It seemed that he was afraid that Chen Changfeng would escape.
There was nothing Chen Changfeng could do to specially blend some spirits for them.
Just after noon, in the courtyard of the East Palace, the emperor and a group of grown men were sitting on the ground drunkenly.
Everyone was burping from wine.
"This wine... hiccup... is so beautiful!" The emperor leaned on the legs of the chair, his eyes a little confused.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I have to preside over the scientific examination this afternoon, but... hiccup... now... I'm a little confused..." Yao Xiaoren held the small porcelain bottle in his hand, and his tongue trembled a little when he spoke.
"Your Majesty, the second prince is not awake yet, and Tang Shilang is also drunk, but the imperial examination cannot be delayed." Liu Xi didn't drink much.
He had to be responsible for the emperor's safety, and he didn't dare to get drunk here.
The emperor glanced around with confused eyes, and suddenly saw Chen Changfeng sitting on the stone table next to him eating.
"Hey, that...that little brat sitting there eating...you...you go and preside over the imperial examination." The emperor couldn't even remember Chen Changfeng's name, and he was too drunk.
Chen Changfeng slowly turned around and looked at the emperor sitting on the ground: "I've been banned for three months, how can I dare to go out?"
"What March... Go if I tell you to go... Whoever dares to be presumptuous, I will chop him down!" The emperor waved his hand, suddenly fell to the ground, and vomited loudly.
Liu Xi was stunned.
Fortunately, the emperor just vomited and quickly called for the young eunuchs to come over and carry the emperor away.
Chen Changfeng glanced at the people who stayed in the courtyard, asked them to take good care of them, and then got up and left the East Palace.
The imperial examination was very important to Chen Changfeng.
He needs to take a look!
…
Beijing Examination Yuan.
This is the examination department established by the emperor in the capital after the imperial examination was confirmed.
Examinations from all over the country are held here for the final exam.
The imperial examination is divided into four sections: military, political, agricultural, and commercial. Each exam lasts one day.
During the four-day period, candidates can go back to rest in the evening after each test, and then come back for the second test on the next day.
When Chen Changfeng arrived, the afternoon exam had already begun.
When they saw Chen Changfeng, all the examiners in the examination hall looked surprised.
The third prince, who was helping the second prince supervise this place, looked even more confused.
"Isn't the sixth brother banned from the East Palace for three months? Why are you here now?" The third prince asked about something that no one dared to ask about.
The other examiners all looked at Chen Changfeng.
If Chen Changfeng disobeys the imperial order and goes out privately, they will definitely read Chen Changfeng's book.
"I can come when I want, do you care?" Chen Changfeng did not give the third prince a good look at all.
The third prince was so angry that his beard and hair stood out.
"Say it again, my father ordered you to be grounded, but you dare to go out without permission. Do you really have no one in the world to care about you?" The third prince was furious.
He didn't even know where Chen Changfeng had such courage.
"I am here to supervise the imperial examination work under the orders of my father. Everyone is under the control of this palace. Anyone who disobeys the order will be severely punished!" Chen Changfeng ignored the third prince at all and announced his intention to everyone.
The emperor asked Chen Changfeng to come over and supervise, but no official in the examination institute dared to ask the emperor whether what Chen Changfeng said was true or false.
Even if the third prince went to look for the emperor and the emperor was drunk at the moment, he would not be able to see the emperor!
The third prince clenched his fists. Chen Changfeng had only been grounded for a few days and was released so soon?
And now he has directly taken over the entire imperial examination?
The third prince wanted to know what the second prince had done, but now was obviously not the time.
"Everyone, follow me around the examination room." Chen Changfeng's eyes fell on the third prince.
Obviously this owner also includes his third prince.
The third prince wanted to leave in anger, but thinking that the second prince asked him to win over that guy named Zhang Juzheng, the third prince still did not dare to leave directly.
A group of officials, big and small, followed behind Chen Changfeng, not even daring to raise their heads.
"Third brother, this is the first imperial examination in our Ming Empire. Does third brother have anyone you like?" Chen Changfeng suddenly stopped and looked at the third prince with a smile.
When the third prince heard this, his heart suddenly thumped.
The second prince had previously met with several talented people who were quite famous and were even very likely to stand out in the imperial examinations.
The most famous among them is the guy named Zhang Juzheng.
But with this residence permit, it seems that he is not willing to take refuge with the second prince and himself.
We even knew from the mouth of Jiangling Prefect that Zhang Juzheng admired Chen Changfeng very much.
We can't let Chen Changfeng know about Zhang Juzheng!
"I'm a warrior, no matter who I fall in love with. Aren't all the border army generals yours, Sixth Brother?" The third prince looked at Chen Changfeng in a strange manner.
Chen Changfeng just smiled slightly. He did not believe that the second and third princes would not make decisions in this imperial examination.
After a round of inspection, Chen Changfeng sat in the lobby to rest.
The third prince quietly walked outside and called several examiners under the second prince: "Pay attention to the guy named Zhang Juzheng, and try to prevent him from answering the questions smoothly."
"Besides, this matter cannot be brought to Lao Liu, and don't let him know about Zhang Juzheng!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, Your Highness. Your Highness, Your Highness, has already told us that the residence certificate is not willing to be surrendered to us. We must not let him fall into the hands of the prince." An examiner nodded heavily.
…
"Examiner, there is a missing piece of paper here." In the examination hall's compartment, Zhang Juzhen looked at the missing piece of paper on the table and called out to an examiner at the door.
The examiner looked at Zhang Juzheng with an indifferent look, and left without stopping at all.
Zhang Juzhen thought that the examiner was going to get some paper for him, but half an hour later, he did not see the examiner come back.
Zhang Juzheng was a little anxious.
How can he answer the questions without paper?
Isn’t this nonsense?
"Examiner!" Zhang Juzheng said again.
A dark-faced government official came over and looked at Zhang Juzheng with cold eyes: "Shut up!"
"Sir, students don't have paper..."
"I know you don't have any paper. Your Majesty has told me that you Zhang Juzheng has no good intentions and is not even willing to recruit the second prince, so there is no need to take the imperial examination." The Yamen servant said coldly.
Zhang Juzheng was stunned.
The day before yesterday, he followed the governor of Jiangling to meet the second prince. Faced with the second prince's solicitation, Zhang Juzheng had no idea at all.
As far as Zhang Juzheng was concerned, although the second prince was the head of the civil service, he saw little hope in him.
Zhang Juzheng preferred to be a disciple of the prince.
But this move angered the second prince, and even the governor of Jiangling also blamed Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng also didn't expect that he would really be targeted at the Beijing Examination Institute.
Zhang Juzheng has a young mind, and the more he thinks about it, the angrier he becomes.
He suddenly crumpled the test questions on the table into a ball and slapped it hard on the face of the yamen servant in front of him: "Fuck you, I won't do it anymore!"
"Be bold!"
"presumptuous!"
As soon as Zhang Juzhen stood up, the yamen servant in front of him and other yamen servants next to him rushed over.
Before Zhang Juzheng could shout, a big hand covered his mouth and forcibly dragged Zhang Juzheng out of the examination seat.
Zhang Juzheng struggled, but was no match for the two government officials.
He was dragged outside the examination hall and thrown to the ground.
"This person insulted the yamen officer in the examination room. He is now expelled from the examination room and banned from taking exams as a warning to others." The yamen officer said coldly.
Then the door of the examination hall was closed heavily.
