[The person who sent the pig to the new Minister of Personnel was a juren, uh, a juren who just failed the imperial examination this year, and he was also a juren who was a bit older.]
Old Emperor: There are so many useless prefixes. After talking for so long, there is no key information except for the word "juren".
[Haha, this juren fell asleep halfway through all three exams this year. He will definitely fail the exam this way.]
[However, the imperial examinations in ancient times were indeed abnormal. The older you get, the harder it is to prepare.]
The Minister of Rites didn't like what he heard.
How can this be abnormal? It has been like this since ancient times.
[This old scholar understood this principle deeply. When he heard that the old emperor had opened a new imperial examination, he began to be active in various places in the capital.]
[Once, when he passed by the animal farm, he accidentally glimpsed the new Minister of Personnel, so he stuffed a lot of silver into the doorman's pocket to inquire about his preferences. He found out that he liked pigs. It was good that he liked pigs, because he could afford it, and he could even afford a big fat pig! ]
In the past, if you wanted to bribe an official, you would have to pay a heavy price to get away with it.
It turned out that the new Minister of Personnel’s favorite thing was a live pig.
This made him very excited.
[It’s so funny. The old scholar probably thought that the Minister of Personnel liked pigs because he liked to eat pork, but he didn’t know that he liked... ahem. ]
Shen Zhiyi was too embarrassed to think further.
After hearing this, the new Minister of Personnel secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he didn't know him.
Fortunately, it was his disappointing son who took it.
Otherwise he would really be in trouble.
Although his reputation was ruined, he was not the only one who suffered.
[Wait a minute, hahahaha, I didn't expect that the old scholar was also there when the fat pig carried the man. Didn't I feel that the fat pig was particularly familiar? ]
The old emperor hooked his finger at Chen Decai, and Chen Decai knew what kind of p the old emperor was going to release.
“Yes.”
That old scholar will never have the chance to take the imperial examination again.
Chen Decai thought with some gloating.
[Hey, who delivered the letter to the official residence of the Minister of Personnel? ]
The Minister of Personnel had an exclamation mark on his head, and he wanted to kneel down on the spot with Shen Zhiyi.
No, sister, you are staring at his mansion!
There are so many officials in the capital city, can you please let him go?
[Hey, can this boy open it secretly and take a look? I promise I won’t tell anyone.]
Everyone: I believed you.
Shen Zhiyi is actually a big leaky spoon. He has loved gossip since he was a child, and he likes to spread it everywhere after eating it.
When she was a child, her neighbor's uncle brought a strange woman she didn't know into the house. She told the whole community about it and she almost got beaten up by the uncle.
As we grow up, we become more restrained and learn to exercise self-control.
For example, a female classmate in the dormitory next to hers in college was dating three seniors. She dated one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and another in the evening. Her schedule was perfectly arranged, and the whole dormitory knew about it after she spread the news.
If this happened when she was a child, the whole school would probably know about it.
Because of this problem, Shen Zhiyi was often secretly put into a sack since she was a child. This is why her parents sent her to practice martial arts and forced her to join the Taekwondo club.
It's so easy to get beaten up, it's a miracle that it can live to this age.
Shen Zhiyi is more restrained now.
Because if what she saw were to be made public, the little head on her neck would fall off in a minute.
People grow up in an instant because they cherish their lives.
[This boy is really patient, how can he resist watching this? ]
The old emperor drank a cup of tea and smiled calmly: “Do you think everyone is the same as you, Shen Zhiyi.
[You don't want to read it, right? If you don't read it, I will spread a rumor that it is a love letter written by the old emperor to the Minister of Personnel. ]
The old emperor spat out a mouthful of tea on the spot, and it happened to spray directly on the face of the new Minister of Personnel who was kneeling.
[Hey, what's going on? What do you call this? Is this the old emperor's love saliva falling on your face? ]
【True love, true love. 】
The old emperor's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The others were trying so hard to hold back their laughter that they injured themselves.
【I'll look at it later. Let me take note of it. 】
Shen Zhiyi took out her little notebook and pen, and eating melons did not interfere with her main work.
[On the 18th, the emperor spitted saliva all over the face of the Minister of Personnel.]
The old emperor was mad: It's tea, not saliva! Fake!
Newly appointed Minister of Personnel: What old face? It’s totally fine if I don’t write it! There’s no need to be so realistic.
He offended two people with just one simple sentence. This is Shen Zhiyi's skill, so terrifying!
After working for a while, Shen Zhiyi started to slack off.
I went through the origin of the letter and found out who wrote it.
[The one who wrote the letter is the governor of Henan Province. He has a son who is already over 40 years old and failed the exam this year. The governor of Henan Province and the Minister of Personnel are from the same hometown and classmate, so he wants to ask the other party for help.]
[Good fellow, the letter sent by the governor actually contains the address of where one hundred taels of gold are stored.]
[No wonder your family is so rich that they can afford to buy gold bricks. After all this time, old emperor, you have created a second person to replace the original Minister of Personnel. They are simply birds of a feather.]
The old emperor sneered, his majesty evident without even getting angry.
The new Minister of Personnel knelt on the ground, knowing that he could not escape today.
His eyeballs rolled around in his sockets, thinking about how to escape this disaster.
[When the Minister of Personnel was still a minister, he accepted a lot of money to help people cheat. ]
[Now that he has become the Minister of Personnel, and there is just another opportunity for the imperial examination, many of the local officials below have come up to kiss him. ]
The old emperor was silent for a moment, and finally whispered, "Check."
The Dragon Scale Guards in the dark received the order and were about to head to the residence of the new Minister of Personnel when the other party suddenly shouted.
"Your Majesty!"
"I was confused for a moment."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to donate all my property to the national treasury." As he said this, the new Minister of Personnel crawled towards the old emperor's feet.
He lowered his voice and said the last sentence: "Your Majesty, I know something about the imperial seal."
The old emperor retracted his raised foot slightly, his eyes seemed calm but intimidating.
Finally, he seemed to laugh out of anger: "How dare you negotiate terms with me?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not, but there is no one in my position who is not greedy. You can ask the high-ranking officials present here, who is not greedy?"
[Hmm, why did the Minister of Personnel suddenly blow himself up? But speaking of not being greedy? ]
Shen Zhiyi puffed out her small chest proudly.
[I am not greedy. ]
The old emperor raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction.
See? There are obviously some people who are not greedy. People like you just don't know how to be content. You have lived to such an old age and are still not as good as a young person.
[Wait, what did the Minister of Personnel just say? The Imperial Seal? ]
