Chapter 90 Master Xu, Your Imperial Edict Has Arrived

In the imperial palace, a total of four hundred Jinshi candidates have already taken their seats.

The order is: the first person from the left is the top scholar, the first person on the right is the second scholar, next to Xu Ming is the third scholar, the three people in the first class and the second class are in the first row, and the others are seated according to their ranking.

At the front of the seats is naturally Emperor Wu's seat.

Xu Ming glanced at the side view.

Yu Ping'an noticed Xu Ming's gaze and smiled back.

When entering the palace before, Xu Ming discovered that the Tanhua scholar had some inconvenience in his hands and feet.

But this is not what Xu Ming cares about most.

If he has difficulty walking, then so be it. He will be a civil servant in the future, not a military officer.

What Xu Ming cared about was that this Yu Tanhua gave Xu Ming a feeling that he couldn't understand.

He always had a smile on his face and looked very gentle.

Compared to the high-spirited others, this Tanhua had a very calm expression, as if to him, he just came to Wudu to have a meal, take an exam, and passed the exam as Tanhua.

This kind of calm temperament is not pretended, but the person has a ruler in his heart and a sense of steadiness. He knows what he wants to do and what not to do, thus reaching a state where he is not happy with things or sad with himself.

"Before the parade, I had the honor of seeing your test paper, the top scorer. The order of enfeoffment made me admire you very much." Yu Ping'an said with a smile.

"Yu Tanhua's insights into business and his innovative methods are really eye-opening to me. Is Yu Tanhua's family in business?" Xu Ming asked. He had also seen the test papers of Xu Pangda and Yu Ping'an.

"Yes." Yu Ping'an nodded, "My family sells cloth, and I am not a legitimate child. I was able to enter the Wudu exam because of you, the top scholar."

Xu Ming smiled and said, "What does this have to do with me? The court's laws have changed, and we should thank the officials who promoted the reforms. Otherwise, I would not be able to take the exam."

"That's wrong." Yu Ping'an shook his head. "If the champion hadn't made a stunning debut at the poetry banquet, which gave the people enough reason to reform the law, and the people had spoken up for him, then it would have been difficult to reform the law."

Yu Ping'an glanced at the crowd and said, "Among the Jinshi candidates sitting here, 30% are the sons of merchants, sons of singing girls, sons of concubines, etc., who were originally unable to take the imperial examination. And these 30% of people, as well as those who will take the imperial examination in the future, all owe a favor to the number one scholar."

Xu Ming sighed slightly: "If this is the case, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to be in the officialdom in the future."

When a person becomes powerful, who is the most uneasy person?

That is naturally the emperor.

He has so many favors even before entering officialdom. How could the emperor not take this into consideration?

"That won't happen. I have a way to turn this matter into a good thing. Not only will His Majesty not be suspicious of you, the number one scholar, but he will be more supportive." Yu Ping'an looked at Xu Ming with an expression of "those who understand, understand".

Xu Ming naturally knew what Yu Pingan was talking about.

That is to marry the princess.

By that time, the sons born to the princess will become emperors. What will Xu Ming's forces matter?

"Yu Tanhua, please stop teasing me." Xu Ming changed the subject and did not continue.

Yu Ping'an just smiled and said nothing more.

"Your Majesty has arrived"

Followed by a eunuch's hoarse voice.

No one talked to each other anymore.

The four hundred Jinshi all stood up and bowed, saying, "Students, we pay our respects to Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu walked through the aisle between the four hundred Jinshi candidates, came to the front and turned around: "Everyone, please stand up and take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All four hundred Jinshi candidates took their seats.

Many people looked at Emperor Wu secretly and silently, not daring to look him in the eye, but wanting to admire his majesty.

Among the people, Emperor Wu is definitely considered a wise king and enjoys a very high prestige.

But being too peaceful is different.

Yu Ping'an looked at Emperor Wu calmly. There was only respect in his eyes, without any guilt or fear. He looked very open and frank.

Soon, palace maids came forward with dishes and wine and placed them in front of each person.

At the banquet, Emperor Wu showed himself to be approachable. When he chatted with everyone, he only talked about family matters and did not touch on the political affairs of the court.

As they chatted, they became less nervous. They respected Emperor Wu more and felt closer to him. They even wanted to serve him wholeheartedly.

Emperor Wu asked everyone to express their views on the current state of Wu State and the "international situation". It was just a chat and there was no question of right or wrong.

Many people talked a lot, wanting to show off in front of Emperor Wu and establish a good image.

However, Xu Ming and Yu Ping'an kept silent and just listened silently.

The banquet lasted for an hour in total.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

An hour later, four hundred scholars left the palace.

As for the appointment and recruitment, it will come out in half a month. Those who are not recruited will generally go to the Hanlin Academy for training. To put it nicely, it is a period of sedimentation. To put it bluntly, there are no vacancies yet, so you have to wait.

However, the treatment in the Hanlin Academy is not bad. Everyone is at least a nominal sixth-rank official and receives a good salary, but has no rights.

After Xu Ming and Xu Pangda returned to the Xu Mansion, firecrackers were set off in both the Xu and Qin Mansions, making it a very grand occasion. Many friends and relatives of the Xu and Qin Mansions, as well as many officials in the court, came to present gifts.

There was no other way, Xu Ming and Xu Pangda could only be forced to open their business and receive guests.

Feeling that there was nothing left for him to do, Xu Ming, his mother and the big white goose returned to the courtyard.

After not seeing each other for four years, my mother hasn't changed much, but Xu Ming has grown from a child into a teenager. In Wu Country, he is already at the age to start a family and build a career.

Xu Ming and Tianxuan Goose fought again after four years.

This time Xu Ming won without any hesitation.

The Tianxuan Goose was very unconvinced and intensified its training.

Xu Ming smiled and said nothing.

The strength of this dog goose has indeed increased a lot.

But it seems that it has obviously slacked off. This goose looks very fat and cannot be stewed in a whole pot.

Could it be possible that after it transforms, it will turn into a 200-pound girl?

Xu Ming was a little panicked.

Just when Xu Ming was planning to stimulate this goose dog and let it exercise and lose weight, Chunyan ran into the courtyard in a hurry: "Master Xu, the imperial edict has arrived, go and receive it quickly."

[I'm stuck on a writer's block. I have an outline, but suddenly I found that I don't know how to connect the two. As I was writing, I felt that I was not doing well. I sorted out the outline and thought about how to deal with it.

I sit down in front of the computer and write. I owe two chapters. I must return them within three days, otherwise I will be a dog! 】
