Zhao Qi's words of benevolence immediately attracted other people around him, and everyone immediately turned their heads to look.
At this time, Lin Yiqiu was seen with his hands behind his back, and two eunuchs standing beside him. He looked at everyone with a smile on his face.
"Zhao Qi, you came quite early."
Lin Yiqiu joked.
In fact, the palace examination would take another half an hour, but people like Zhao Qi were obviously impatient, so they were brought in very early by the Forbidden Army.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qi quickly continued to hand over his hand.
"After all, it's a palace examination, and we don't dare to be negligent in the slightest. But we never thought we could meet our benefactor here."
It's a lie to say that I didn't expect it. In fact, from how Lin Yiqiu dared to hit the prime minister's son yesterday, we can guess that his identity is not simple.
It's just that Zhao Qi didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that he actually met him in the palace.
And you must know that this is the place where hundreds of officials go to court, and it is said that ordinary people are not even qualified to get close.]
But Lin Yiqiu was standing here with a very relaxed look on his face, and he looked like he had a high status!
Lin Yiqiu continued to smile and said: "It's best if you have such a heart. Don't blame me for giving you people some advice."
"Tips? What does my benefactor mean?"
Zhao Qi and others couldn't understand.
At this time, the little eunuch next to Lin Yiqiu said: "Your examination papers are the ones that the officials in the Ministry of Etiquette dislike the most!"
"Because your papers are too critical of current ills, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites like those who praise virtues, so at the beginning, many of your papers were ranked outside the top 100."
"But my governor happened to be the Minister of Rites at that time, so he submitted your paper! Mr. Zhao, my governor appreciates your paper even more! It can be said that he is full of praise!"
After the words fell, all the literati suddenly looked at each other!
They never expected that they would have the opportunity to take the imperial examination, and it would be Lin Yiqiu who would submit their papers again!
What kind of identity does Lin Yiqiu have? Can serving as a minister also affect the final ranking?
Could it be that all the people in the Ministry of Rites are no better than him?
However, doubts remain doubts. According to this statement, there is no doubt that Lin Yiqiu is really their benefactor!
In an instant, everyone hurriedly bent down to say thank you.
Lin Yiqiu immediately waved his hand and said: "No need to be so restrained, this is the result you deserve!"
"Articles praising virtues can be written just for fun, but if such articles become the top ten, it will be the end of my career!"
"Don't have any mental burden during today's imperial examination. You will answer whatever His Majesty asks. Do you understand?"
Looking at everyone, Lin Yiqiu had great expectations for them.
Zhao Qi and others naturally accepted the order and did not dare to disobey in any way.
After Lin Yiqiu finished speaking, he asked a group of guards to maintain discipline, and then headed towards Emperor Qian's palace.
At this time, Emperor Qian had just finished washing and put on a very simple dress.
In front of students, it is naturally better to dress simply.
Lin Yiqiu was not restrained. Emperor Qian was changing clothes, so he walked in immediately.
As soon as it catches the eye, it's snow-white skin.
Lin Yiqiu froze on the spot, and in the next second, he spat out a few words as if he was lost.
"Beautiful...so beautiful!"
It had been a long time since he'd seen Emperor Qian look like this, and Lin Yiqiu was so greedy that his mouth was watering.
Emperor Qian quickly turned his back, his face ashamed and annoyed.
"You damn eunuch, you are getting more and more rude. You dare to come into my bedroom directly!"
"Your Majesty, I'm here to report. The literati have gathered outside the court hall, waiting for you to come over!"
Lin Yiqiu quickly changed the subject, and then raised his head from time to time, looking at His Majesty's snow-white back.
Before I could finish watching, I saw that the maid Ting'er next to me had already changed His Majesty's clothes, and then showed Lin Yiqiu a sly smile.
Lin Yiqiu's face suddenly twitched.
This Ting'er, why do you feel like she did it on purpose?
Emperor Qian nodded slightly and agreed.
"Okay, I understand. Are the officials from the Sixth Department here?"
After all, it is a palace examination, and other important officials from Daqian must also be present, and these students must be considered comprehensively!
Lin Yiqiu quickly handed over his hand.
"He hasn't come yet, but I have sent guards to urge him. It probably won't be long."
"Well, by the way, you can come into the palace with me today and help me inspect it."
In terms of literary excellence, no one in the entire Qian Kingdom could compare to Lin Yiqiu, at least in the eyes of Emperor Qian there was no doubt about this.
Therefore, if Lin Yiqiu is present together, the inspection will be very comprehensive!
However, Lin Yiqiu did not answer directly. After thinking for a moment, he replied: "Your Majesty, I don't think it is appropriate."
"What's wrong? Didn't I tell you before?"
Emperor Qian was slightly moved and turned his head in doubt, because Lin Yiqiu rarely refused his will.
Lin Yiqiu then lowered his head and said: "I didn't think carefully before and agreed without permission, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it would be best for Your Majesty to go alone."
"With the addition of the other six ministers, it's enough. It would be superfluous if I go."
"What I value is your literary talent, which will be very helpful for the imperial examination."
Emperor Qian continued.
But Lin Yiqiu still shook his head.
"Your Majesty, if that's the case, wouldn't it mean that you are taking the spotlight?"
"The protagonists of the imperial examination are your majesty and the literati. If I reveal myself too much, it will appear that your majesty has no independent opinion."
"Therefore, I think that I am really not suitable to participate together. Your Majesty can also take this opportunity to educate those scholars with your majesty."
This is what Lin Yiqiu really thinks.
It is true that he is very talented, but if he gets involved together, it will appear that Emperor Qian is a little incompetent and has no independent opinion at all.
Qiandi can ignore the thoughts of the six senior officials, but she will care about her own thoughts.
Therefore, during the palace examination, you are likely to be affected by any of your emotions, which will be detrimental to the palace examination.
It was easy for those literati to think that he was really a eunuch who brought trouble to the imperial court, and even the emperor's palace examination had to look at his face.
After listening to this, Emperor Qian understood Lin Yiqiu's intention and nodded immediately.
"You're right to think so, but..."
"If Your Majesty is still hesitant, I can write a few questions to Your Majesty first, and Your Majesty will just ask them accordingly."
Lin Yiqiu responded with a very understanding smile.
Only then did Emperor Qian show a very satisfied expression and waved Lin Yiqiu over.
Not long after, Lin Yiqiu wrote down the questions he should ask on paper.
There are three questions in total, all of which can be answered on the spot, and they are all about the pros and cons of Daqian Country’s government affairs, which are very sharp!
It can also best reflect the thoughts of literati and their ability to react on the spot.
Lin Yiqiu's writing is basically the biggest test for those literati! This chapter has been completed!
