Chapter 128: The White Clothes Sect's Plan, Song Hongzhi Returns to the Capital



He could also monitor the remnants of the previous royal family through Zhao Jiguang.

After all, those people have become pirates, and the best option is to let the navy deal with them.

Yu Huatian had no objection to this. His martial arts skills were indeed powerful, but the problem was that even with his power, he was only one person. Just like finding the Little Heavenly Master before, if it weren't for the East Factory's intelligence network, it would have been impossible to accomplish so quickly.

Soon, the two of them finalized the plan for this operation.

Because it was already late.

Wang Jin did not stay any longer and chose to return to his residence.

Whether it is the Baiyi Sect or the gentry, he must make arrangements himself.

As for Yu Huatian, he will stay in the courtyard and leave the palace when the time is almost up.

After all, the little master's mission has been completed, and now is the time for him to really show his skills.

The plan of the two brothers will officially begin from tonight.

Time passes by bit by bit.

In the capital, there was news about the Jiangnan gentry, and many people were discussing it.

However, what more people are discussing is this palace examination.

originally.

According to word of mouth among the people in the capital, the only one who could take the top spot in the palace examination was Ouyang Ji.

But when the court announced that Chen Xuance had become the top scorer, the entire court was shocked.

Although these two are from the same hometown, there is still a gap in their talents.

Therefore, many people cannot figure out what is going on.

But some people also think.

Maybe Chen Xuance was chosen because he performed exceptionally well in the palace examination and wrote a peerless article, which attracted the admiration of court ministers and the current emperor?

This is not impossible. After all, such things are common in the imperial examinations of all dynasties.

But because of this, people in the capital were curious about what kind of article Chen Xuance had written.

It just so happens that the court has regulations.

After the palace examination, the essays of the top three candidates were included in the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy.

It also needs to be published for people all over the world and candidates to see.

So many people are looking forward to it.

I want to read Chen Xuance’s articles.

soon.

On the second day of the palace examination, after the top three candidates rode their horses in a parade through the streets and enjoyed congratulations from the people of the capital, the Ministry of Rites copied and posted the essays of the top three candidates in accordance with regulations.

For a time, people from all over the capital rushed there to see the essay of the first top scholar of the Tianqi Dynasty.

Even those candidates who failed the exam came over and wanted to learn.

But soon, after everyone finished reading Chen Xuance's article, they were all stunned.

Because they found out.

This article seems to be full of flattery for His Majesty.

In fact, there are some palace examination essays that praise the current emperor.

But Chen Xuance's writing was too explicit throughout, and he almost wanted to use all the words of praise.

Especially after comparing with Ouyang Ji's article.

Everyone became even more confused.

It is obvious that the latter article is better than the former, but it only came in second place.

For a time, the entire capital was once again swept by a wave of discussion about the imperial examination.

Almost the vast majority of people believe that Chen Xuance’s reputation as the top scholar this time is totally undeserved and is entirely based on hype.

Some candidates were even filled with righteous indignation, thinking that they could certainly write better articles if they simply praised the current emperor.

Therefore, during these few days, both the court officials and the candidates had strong opinions about the fairness of this imperial examination, and the Censorate even submitted a memorial on this matter.

Request His Majesty the Emperor to re-evaluate the top three this time.

Wei Yunyi naturally ignored this.

Because the more people are dissatisfied, the more right you are.

Of course, he had never expected that Chen Xuance would be chosen as the top scholar, which would cause discussions among the people and the candidates.

He was very surprised by this, but of course he was more surprised. After all, from the very beginning, his original intention of interfering in the imperial examination was to undermine his prestige.

He never thought that he would actually achieve it, which made him overjoyed.

Wei Yunyi especially thought of one thing.

That's it.

When candidates all over the country think that they can be valued and appreciated by flattering the emperor, and then follow suit, won't they cultivate more greedy ministers to continue to ruin the country's destiny?

So in the end he decided not to make any response and let the people in the capital discuss it.

I was even more hoping that this matter would become a big deal.

originally.

Wei Yunyi only wanted to promote a treacherous official.

However, because of his unintentional actions, he made the people and the candidates dissatisfied.

It’s such an unexpected gain.

only.

What made him helpless was that the discussion about Chen Xuance didn't last long before it was drowned out by another voice.

As for this kind of voice, it was of course the news that my brother-in-law would return to Beijing tomorrow, and it had spread completely.

Although the imperial examination is very important, it is also of great concern to people all over the world.

But when this matter is compared with the destruction of a country.

That's not a small difference.

To this.

Wei Yunyi felt unwell all over.

I thought that the selection of Chen Xuance as the top scholar would make the other candidates feel unfair, and then affect the court, but I didn't expect that my brother-in-law would come back at this time...

Last time, it was because of him that my luck skyrocketed by ten thousand.

Now, I finally found a way to curb my luck...

But once again it was affected.

Wei Yunyi really had no words to express his pain.

But there's nothing I can do, because he's my brother-in-law after all.

Of course, this also made him more determined to be extremely cautious in making arrangements regarding his brother-in-law.

What if one day the other party stabs you in the back again?

So on this day, Wei Yunyi also began to think.

What to do next.

There should be no problem in letting the other party lead the army, but the important thing is not to fight.

Therefore, we must find a way to restrict our brother-in-law so that he will be too busy to participate in the war.

Soon, Wei Yunyi came up with an idea.

This can not only prevent the brother-in-law from backstabbing again, but also make the other party feel uncomfortable. It can be said to be the best of both worlds.
