In the study room of Jiao Mansion, Jiao Fang, who had taken a day off today to wait for the good news at home, looked at Li An who lowered his hands and lowered his head in front of her, and couldn't help but ask again: "What did you say?" At this moment, she usually prided herself on being the master.
The trustworthy Li An longed for someone else to report such first-rate bad news. But Jiao Fang stared at him with her eyes fixed on him, and he had no place to hide, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and whisper: "As I said, follow me.
When the young master went to see the results, Heiji came back and said that the young master's name was not on the examination results list.
Jiao Fang suddenly leaned heavily on the large Taishi chair. The initial disbelief suddenly turned into boundless frustration, and then turned into an indescribable anger. If he hadn't been young for a long time, he would just have to wait.
As long as that old guy Ma Wensheng had withdrawn his hand and returned to the west, why did he have to rack his brains and use various means to defeat him in order to replace him? But although that effort failed in the end, the emperor retained him from becoming an official, and he cared about his scorching son.
The gift of the book still made up for his regret of not being able to become a minister. But now, the two chief examiners, Zhang Yuanzhen and Yang Tinghe, dared to let Jiao Huangzhong fail the exam again!
"Damn it, Zhang Yuanzhen, the son of Jiangxi, and Yang Tinghe! Someone must have colluded with them, it must be!" He rarely cursed the two examiners in front of the servants. After a long while, Jiao Fang took a deep breath.
He stopped venting in one breath and asked in a solemn voice: "Where is the young master?" Seeing that Jiao Fang only vented for a while and then stopped, Li An felt relieved. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Reply.
Master, Heiji said, the eldest young master was originally going to come back after seeing the test of Xingbang, but he was dragged to a restaurant by some literary friends to relax, so he sent Heiji back first, but the coachman Lao Zheng followed him.
It shouldn’t be a hindrance.”
"It's not the first time. I think he should be able to take it up and put it down. The future will be long."
Knowing that her son had not lost his manners, Jiao Fang felt a little relieved, and immediately said with a stern face, "However, it is really incredible that the Gongyuan reading paper finally came out with such a result. It should be noted that the three articles he wrote in this subject are all
Everything is stable, and there is no way I will fail the exam! Go and ask around, especially the servants who served during the reading, and see who knows what is going on.
Don't be stingy with money, I just want to get to the bottom of things!"
After Jiao Fang finished speaking, he saw that Li An was still standing still, and he couldn't help but frown. However, before he could ask, Li An lowered his voice and said something.
"Master, there is something that I just heard about this morning. I thought it was nothing important. Unexpectedly, the eldest young master failed the exam unexpectedly, so I thought it might be related." After a pause, Jiao Fang's face was filled with tears.
Nay, he quickly took two steps forward, leaned next to Jiao Fang and said, "It is said that during the days when Gongyuan was studying, many people were waiting at the intersection of Gongyuan to find out the results, and because they were bored, they just had fun gambling there.
, but they were betting on the ranking of the Jinke Examination, whether they passed or failed, etc. The eldest young master’s name somehow ranked first, and someone even revealed that the eldest young master had received a letter from the emperor, which caused an uproar.”
As soon as these words came out, Jiao Fang felt awe and shock. He knew very well about the process of reading papers for the examination. Of course, he would not send people to guard the gate of Gongyuan every day like those who took the examination for the first time. But there was no such thing.
Thinking that because of this, he didn't notice such seemingly trivial things. He had just scolded Zhang Yuanzhen and Yang Tinghe and suddenly realized the reason why the two chief examiners deposed his son six years ago.
Before, just because of a rumor, so many people were implicated!
This is definitely not some boring gambling show, this is someone who is stirring up trouble behind the scenes and deliberately letting Jiaohuang half off the list! But even so, Zhang Yuanzhen, Yang Tingping and others pride themselves on being impartial and impartial on weekdays, but at critical moments they only know how to protect themselves. How can such things happen?
I don’t know if I’d like to report to Heaven and ask Jin Yiwei or Dongchang to conduct a thorough investigation!
Zhang Yuanzhen is already very old, and the one who makes the most decisions is Yang Louhe... He has no friendship with Yang Tinghe. Could it be that someone has asked Yang Tinghe before? This is not impossible. There are many people in the court who hate Jiao Fang, and Ma Wensheng also
You are not a fool, maybe you have noticed the source of those sinister incidents in the past, so you have someone arrange this...
"Master, the eldest young master is back!" Jiao Fang was suspicious when a message suddenly came from outside. As soon as he looked up, he saw a scorched-yellow face entering the house, and he hurriedly winked at Li An and waited for someone to go out.
Finally, he looked at his son's suppressed anger and said with a serious face: "How many times have I told you, it doesn't matter how angry you are at home, and no matter what you go through outside, don't show it on your face!
If you fail, you will fail, and you can make a comeback in three years!" "Dad, I am not young anymore, I know all this!" Zhuo Huangzhong endured it outside today, but in the end he couldn't help but uttered evil words. At this moment, his father was
For the first time, I couldn't help myself. "Even those few articles that were far inferior to mine were listed in one fell swoop. How could I be deposed alone? Dad, didn't you and Eunuch Li have a good relationship? Let Dongchang go and check...
"I'm pregnant!"
Although Jiao Fang herself thought so, Jiao Huangzhong actually said such words, which made him a little annoyed. After interrupting, he shouted in a deep voice! "These are not your business, of course your father will go and find out what happened."
It’s the same thing. But after all, your article is not watertight enough, otherwise Yang Tinghe wouldn’t dare to be so slutty. Go back, Wen Wen, and stop taking care of these things that shouldn’t be your business!”
The burnt yellow center was very angry, but he was used to obeying in front of his father, so he had to hold back his anger and exit the study. But after returning to his yard, he thought about being ridiculed after unexpectedly failing the exam, and thought about how that ugly monster dared to sneer at him.
, but he couldn't suppress the evil fire in his heart, and he couldn't even listen to his wife's comfort. He suddenly stood up and walked away. He asked the servant to order a car to wait at the back door, but he just walked out.
The door.
"Go to the Jiangxi Guild Hall outside Xuanwu Gate!" When Jiao Fang heard that her son had gone out again, although Jiao Fang felt unhappy, she thought that Jiao Huangzhong had suffered another setback, so she didn't take it to heart for a while. After thinking about it, he
After all, he thought of Li Rong. After writing a letter in a hurry, he called the housekeeper Li An over. After he took the letter, he said: "Send it to Eunuch Li, remember to keep it secret."
One copy of the apricot list for the examination was hung in front of Gongyuan Street, and the other was submitted to the emperor. For such important matters, the ceremonial supervisor naturally sent it directly to the emperor. The ceremonial supervisor, Bingbi, and eunuch Li Rong knew earlier than Jiao Fang that Jiao Huangzhong had failed again.
Like the imperial court, there were more southerners than northerners in the palace, so he and Jiao Fang naturally had a natural closeness. Jiao Fang relied on him to inquire about the affairs of the inner court, and he also relied on Jiao Fang to influence the outer court.
In addition, both of them have a great enemy in Ma Wensheng, so the alliance is unbreakable.
When the letter sent by Jiao Fang arrived in his hand in the evening, Li Rong stood up immediately. He was also involved in dealing with Ma Wensheng last time. If the old guy's handiwork was really responsible for the defeat in Jiao Huang, he would have to guard against it.
When he thought of this, he immediately ordered someone to come in, put on his Kirin patchwork round-neck shirt with a red tie, and went straight to Wang Yue's place. As soon as he entered the door, he found that Chen Kuan was also at Wang Yue's place, and he immediately laughed.
stand up.
"Oh, it turns out that you are actually in the third place. Are you planning to have a meeting?" Chen Kuan was discussing with Wang Yue about the foul atmosphere of the eunuchs in the East Palace. When he saw Li Rong come in, he immediately stopped and stood up in a hurry.
He was not as qualified as Li Rong and Xiao Jing, and he did not like to get involved in these activities. Seeing that Li Rong seemed to have something to discuss with Wang Yue, he smiled and said: "Eunuch Li is joking, I am not here to talk to Old Wang out of boredom.
Do you want to kill some time? It's already getting late. You have to get up early tomorrow to go to court. You continue, I'll go back to sleep!" Seeing Chen Kuan smile, he yawned and walked out without looking back.
After leaving the door, Li Rong secretly praised people for their wisdom. After the young eunuch who stayed outside closed the door, he sat down in front of Wang Yue. After chatting a few words, he turned the conversation to the Jinke Examination. He didn't even think about it.
Not mentioning that Jiaohuang Zhongjin failed the exam, he just mentioned the gambling scene at the gate of Gongyuan.
"Such a thing has happened!..." Wang Yuexing was the most impatient. When he heard this, he was shocked and angry. "What are these people from Fusi in Beizhen doing? Everyone is watching and they let it go! The imperial court recruits scholars.
There is no place for those cats and dogs to have fun at this grand ceremony! Eunuch Li, don’t worry, I will ask those people to investigate when I get back. Ye Guang, the royal guard, should also be reprimanded, otherwise there will be no rules and regulations, so what if!" Li Rong!
Knowing that Wang Yue was a firecracker that would explode at a moment's notice, he was secretly lucky to have figured out the trick. He had to persuade him a few more times, and finally made Wang Yue agree not to trouble Jin Yiwei for the time being.
When he came out, he suddenly said to Wang Yue who was sent out: "Eunuch Xiao also has a great nephew who took the exam for this subject, but he also failed. You don't need to tell him about this for the time being. When the truth is found out, I think he must be the one who came out.
I'm happy." "That's fine, wait until I check first!" Wang Yue didn't doubt that he was there and nodded immediately. Seeing that Li Rong was about to leave, he suddenly remembered another thing and hurriedly walked a few steps to call Li Rong.
He stopped and said, "Zhang Yu, the superintendent of the society, has been walking around these days, seeming to say that the herbal medicine cultivation in the hospital is almost finished, and he plans to wait for the opportunity to ask the emperor to reward him for his merits.
If you want me to say this is all nonsense, everyone knows the state of Taiyuan Hospital. It has redundant officials and redundant staff. They have been eliminated and added again and again. How many decent doctors are there?" "The emperor loves medicine, and those Liu Wentai are so good.
Those who are best at flirting with people, please don’t get involved in this matter right now. It’s not up to them to decide whether to succeed or not, and it’s not like there aren’t ministers who understand herbal medicine in the court.”
Li Rongsheng was afraid that this Wang Paobao would cause unnecessary trouble, so a few words of instruction were not enough. He turned around and shook Wang Yue's hand, and said sincerely: "Old Wang, you have always been the target of public criticism when you are in charge of Dongchang. Instead of paying attention to this, why don't you pay attention to this?"
Why not think about how to deal with those people who are eyeing your seat!"?: The third update is delivered as promised! There are still 130 votes left, and the possibility of a comeback is almost zero, but this month's monthly votes have exceeded 800, almost catching up
