◎Talents! What are they all? ◎
【No...keep talking, why are you all looking at me?】
【Oh, yes, what were you talking about just now? It seems to be about the palace examination?】
【Emma, if you talk about this, I won't be sleepy anymore. Let me talk about it. The palace examination in the 42nd year of Kangxi was the year of Guiwei, right? Emma, the Jinshi of this year were amazing, really amazing! Incredible! I won't talk about the No. 1 scholar Wang Shidan, but the No. 2 scholar Zhao Jin, the No. 3 scholar Qian Mingshi... they are all 'Dragon and Phoenix'!】
【I don't know if Master Kang will regret it in the future. He actually selected these people as the top three in this palace examination. Mo Yu was originally thinking about continuing to gossip about
the top three candidates in this palace examination, but seeing the state of Master Kang and the eldest and eighth princes, he couldn't help but be very puzzled.
Although he was very curious about why they were like this, he certainly wouldn't take the initiative to ask questions - he had agreed to be a low-key little salted fish, and he would be crazy to take the initiative to find trouble.
Although he started working again by accident, to be honest, this job is like a god's job except that he has to go to bed and get up early, and the travel is painful.
Car pick-up and drop-off, umbrella shade, and even sling carry, in short, no matter it is windy or rainy, you don't have to suffer, and you don't even have to walk.
The welfare benefits are not to be mentioned.
The prince's study companion appointed by Master Kang himself, the assistant specially appointed by the old white-bearded master, the admirer and respect of the seventeenth prince and several lively children such as Honghui... Yes, I have confirmed it through eye contact. Just now, he has already subdued the first batch of younger brothers. This is really, what should he do?
[Oh, how embarrassed, he hasn't been the eldest brother for many years, but it's hard to refuse the kindness, so he will just accept it reluctantly...] [Hey
, what are those expressions on your faces, as if what I said is wrong. ]
Seeing that Mo Yu's thoughts were about to drift to an unknown place, Master Kang sighed and decided to take the initiative to "turn the tide".
There is no hope to rely on this group of princes. There is no one who can fight. In the end, isn't it just me who has to go up in person?
Master Kang was speechless, but he couldn't help but feel happy. Why
? Well, never mind, let's get down to business. What
was the kid from the Lin family thinking about just now?
The palace examination?
So, is there really anything wrong with this palace examination?
Master Kang suddenly became energetic and didn't care about being upset anymore. He immediately decided to personally lead the topic.
He looked at the dumbfounded eldest prince and the thoughtful eighth prince, and forced himself to suppress the anger that rose from time to time in his heart. He calmed down a little, and then coughed lightly and said, "Old Eighth, you just said, what happened to the palace examination?"
The eighth prince was suddenly named, and he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, and he was a little confused: Huh? What palace examination? It wasn't me, I didn't ask?
However, he was always good at observing people's words and expressions, and he understood immediately when he saw Master Kang's expression - it turned out that Your Majesty, you want to know what the young master of the Lin family was thinking about just now about the palace examination.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Since Your Majesty wants to know, then as a son, I must cooperate with you.
It can't be said that you want to know and your son won't help you know it, and you don't want to know and your son has to help you know it.
Although it happened suddenly, the Eighth Prince's brain was also quick. In the blink of an eye, he quickly adjusted his expression and said sincerely: "Reporting to Your Majesty, my son just wanted to say that the top three essays are just so-so."
Oh, these words really touched Master Kang's heart.
He was originally not very satisfied with the fifty-nine-year-old number one scholar, but he couldn't admit that he was unhappy because of his age, and he was also dissatisfied with the second and third place scholars who were not too young.
But of course he couldn't admit to judging people by their appearance, because that would make him a "tyrant", and he still had to save face, so he absolutely couldn't admit it.
Fortunately, the eighth brother was always obedient and would usually find a way for him to back off. Anyway, it was right to find him for such matters. Look, isn't it a perfect continuation of the conversation?
It seems that it was right to confer the title of Beile together with his brothers last time. This child is smart and understands things quickly.
Although he had just "heard" the so-called "truth" about the Eighth Prince from Mo Yu, Master Kang felt that this matter was nothing.
As a prince, if he didn't even have the ambition to seize the throne, he would be such a waste.
Just like the Fourth Prince, he seemed not to be competitive on the surface, but who is less competitive than him? Did you think he couldn't see through this little trick?
He is not senile yet.
As for the Eighth Prince, it seems that this kid from the Lin family is not a simple person, and he is not as easy-going and humble as he looks?
That's great.
He thought that this son was too gentle and not domineering enough, but it turned out that he knew it in his heart. Isn't this just right?
Anyway, the Eighth Prince is still good, Master Kang is still very confident about this point, so even if he "heard" Mo Yu's complaints, he didn't feel anything.
And sure enough, he casually threw out a question, and the Eighth Prince was able to catch it steadily, just like countless times before, which really made him, the emperor, feel very relieved.
Master Kang was very satisfied, and cast an approving look at the Eighth Prince, and then said to Mo Yu: "Not bad, today I read the three articles written before the top three in the palace examination, and it's just like this."
Not talking about appearance, just talking about articles, that's very appropriate.
I still love talents, it's just that I made a mistake for a moment, it must be!
Master Kang had made up his mind to talk nonsense, and the Eighth Prince simply threw his head aside and agreed. The father and son acted so realistically that the eldest prince next to them was dumbfounded.
No? The Emperor, the Eighth Prince, what are you doing?
Especially you, the Eighth Prince. I don't understand. Didn't the two of us come to the palace today to ask the Emperor about the whereabouts of your attendant He Zhuo among the Jinshi candidates this time?
Why don't you talk about this serious matter, but instead talk about someone who has nothing to do with it - by the way, before in the palace, during the palace examination, the Emperor clearly praised the essay of the number one scholar Wang Shidan, how come he changed his mind in such a short while?
Eighth Brother, didn’t you also agree that Wang Shidan, the top scholar of this year’s imperial examination, “has spent decades honing his skills” and “is naturally extraordinary”?
Really…
The eldest brother doesn’t understand, but he thinks that both his father and his eighth brother are very capable.
At this time, it seems that he should just shut up, but he really wants to hear about what happened between him and his eighth brother…
What did that kid from the Lin family say just now?
Will Yinzhen support the eighth brother to take the throne in the future?
That must be impossible, right?
It is obviously the eighth brother who should assist him.
The eighth brother has been following his mother, Concubine Hui, since he was a child. If his mother hadn’t raised him, how could he have grown up so big? He might have died long ago.
Without him and his mother, how could the eighth brother be where he is today?
Even his marriage with the granddaughter of Prince An Yue Le was arranged by his mother. Really, this is the best a son can do, right?
The eldest prince became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He almost wanted to lose his temper on the spot, but Master Kang was there. He dared not act rashly and could only endure it and wait and see how things would develop.
At the same time, he also secretly made up his mind that if the eighth brother really did something that was superficial and another in private, he would make sure that this kid would pay the price.
So, what do you want to say? Can you say it quickly? The eldest prince said that he really had no patience left. If he didn't say it quickly, he would really lose his temper.
It was said that Master Kang was very good at leading the topic. As soon as he mentioned the palace examination, Mo Yu's thoughts were indeed diverted again.
【Speaking of which, although the number one scholar Wang Shidan is a little old, well, fifty-nine is indeed a little old. If it were an ordinary person, he really wouldn't have many years left to live. Of course, Mr. Wang is in good health and can still live for a dozen years, so it's not a problem... Let's just say that Master Kang is really courageous. He is fifty-nine and still wants to respect someone as the number one scholar. There is no age discrimination at all, which is really rare. 】
【But to be honest, the talent of Wang Shidan is really beyond doubt. After all, he is a great man who has studied for more than fifty years. After entering the Hanlin Academy, he edited some history books, worked on national records, maps and other materials, and he did a good job. 】
【With such a great talent, Master Kang, you still think that the article is not well written... This is too demanding. And if you dislike him, why do you still choose him as the top scholar? Really... Could it be that the arrogant attribute has awakened? }
Mo Yu's comments not only gave a positive evaluation of Wang Shidan, but also complimented Master Kang... Even Master Kang had to admit that this kid is really good at controlling people, praising and criticizing, which makes people wonder how to react.
But what does "arrogant" mean?
Is it a new word from the "immortal world"?
Master Kang was a little confused, but he still successfully concealed it. Because he felt that the kid from the Lin family must have some explosive news that he didn't say. He felt strangely excited and a little scared—he always felt that it was not a good thing...
and Mo Yu did not let him down, and soon revealed the mystery.
[Ah, as for the runner-up, there is indeed a problem. I wonder if the current imperial examinations only consider talent and not character... This runner-up Zhao Jin, in the Jiangnan County Examination eight years later, openly embezzled and accepted bribes, and participated in the Xinmao Fraud Case, one of the most famous imperial examination frauds in history. After the case was investigated, he was beheaded directly, which was really shocking...]
