In fact, at that time in Dayan, the cultural differences between the north and the south were not as obvious as they were later, and they were just beginning to show signs. There were so few northerners in the previous exam, but it was really a coincidence that there were two northerners among the top three.
The dispute began upwards.
Lin Fujian and his companions were in mixed feelings.
This person's moves are really unpredictable! No matter what, you can never predict them!
He often uses surprising and strange tricks, but they are extremely effective!
Just like the matter of Xu Wenqu, they never expected that she could actually force out "ironclad evidence" for such an unclear matter, and a matter that should have lasted for three to five days, or even eight to ten days, was resolved on the spot.
It was all in vain, someone died and not even a splash of water was made.
And the current situation is the same. She simply didn't even bother to counter it, and even went straight to the source before the incident escalated.
How could she come up with the idea of selecting scholars separately from the north and the south!
In fact, the biggest drawback of this matter is that it may encourage factionalism, but it is effective in controlling and balancing imperial power, as well as dealing with current events.
...
...
They can already see the results.
Things turned out just as everyone expected.
The matter was almost approved by the court, and then the cabinet discussed the result, determined various details, and issued an edict soon.
First, the person who touched the pillar was criticized for his high ambitions but lack of talent, his treacherous heart, and his instigation of gossip... The general idea is that you failed the exams repeatedly because you have no ability, and then you failed the exams because of your father's death. However, you directed your resentment at the court, and even spread rumors to confuse the public, inciting students to make trouble at this moment. The court is not to blame for this!
Then he briefly mentioned the blind obedience of the people, and after briefly mentioning it, he analyzed the differences between the north and the south, explaining that it is not that we do not want to accept you, but that the entire north is indeed inferior to the south.
However, due to the request of the "Prime Minister" and taking various reasons into consideration, the next imperial examination will adopt a system of selecting candidates in the south, north and center. After that, there will be favorable conditions for a series of great scholars to go to the north to give lectures and run schools.
In short, it means giving a sweet reward after a beating.
Because the dates were so sweet and the stick was hit on a dead person, the matter was quickly settled.
And because it was actually Fu Niangniang who mediated this matter, some people, especially those who participated in it, felt guilty or uneasy, and began to speak to Wen Li, saying that Qinzhou, as Fu Niangniang's hometown, should be this and that...
Everyone is happy.
The most unlucky one was Qian Weizhi, who led the trouble.
You know, "spreading evil words to confuse the people" was a very serious crime in ancient times. Regardless of whether he was forced to do so or not, he incited the scholars to rebel and triggered a chain reaction in various places. Such a serious matter cannot be resolved by just killing the main culprit.
Afterwards, his brother was exiled, his sister was divorced, and the women in his family were sent to the army. However, his mother was spared because of her advanced age.
This incident, in the eyes of the people in the court, means that... anyone who goes against Fu Yan will lose miserably.
At this time, Qing Wei, who had just checked almost everything, said: "......?"
So should I check it out?
The Qianqiu Festival is here in the blink of an eye.
It was another lively day. It was worth mentioning that Yan Shiyue dragged Yan Chengyuan down to the stage and finally enjoyed the cold-faced father's dance ceremony. Then she threatened Huo Qijing with her eyes and ran in front of him to dance. Huo Qijing had no choice but to come down and dance twice...
It's not that he can't let go, because dancing is a high-level etiquette of the upper class, and there is no saying that men can't dance. He simply... doesn't know how to dance.
Seeing that he was like a robot, Yan Shiyue was laughing so hard that her whole body was shaking, but she couldn't laugh out loud, and her face turned red from holding it in.
As a result, Emperor Ming Yan was sitting on top and watching her making a fuss. He became interested and came down to dance a few times... and he actually danced in a somewhat romantic and suave manner.
She felt that the dancing rituals of people like Yan Chengyuan, Huo Qijing, and the Fourth Prince... yes, the Fourth Prince was back. In short, these cold and hard people did not look good when they danced, but people with a literary temperament like the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince looked very good when they danced. Emperor Ming Yan was listed separately.
She felt that Emperor Ming Yan seemed to look good no matter what he did. Fangirls were just so blind.
When it was time to present gifts, everyone had their own unique ideas. Although she had told Emperor Ming Yan that she would present mulberry paper, Emperor Ming Yan teased her on purpose and insisted on asking her, "Fu Yan, where is your gift?"
Fortunately, she was prepared and asked someone to bring up a box. Emperor Ming Yan asked someone to bring it up, but it turned out to be a model of two carriages.
Everyone knew that she had many strange tricks, so there was nothing strange about this carriage, and they were all very surprised.
Emperor Mingyan asked, "Is this your gift?"
Yan Shiyue said, "Yes!" She stepped forward and picked it up. As she played with it, the two carriages quickly combined into two King Kongs, standing majestically.
Dear, do you know Transformers? Although this Transformer is not the same as the other Transformers, it is enough to make people laugh.
Emperor Ming Yan took it and played with it with a smile.
She had someone make it temporarily, and it was not very complicated. After Emperor Ming Yan tried it a few times, it was slowly restored to its original shape as a carriage.
Then he continued to tease her: "You're just going to give me two little toys?"
Ah? Yan Shiyue then made a gesture of holding her heart and said with a smile: "And Fu Yan's filial piety!"
Emperor Ming Yan laughed out loud.
Everyone laughed in unison.
This shows how extremely favored Princess Fuyan was.
Seeing this scene, many people exchanged glances and made up their minds.
She must be dragged into the water.
Only when you are in the situation can you learn your lesson. Otherwise, you will never understand the many principles you should understand.
The next day, at court, Cabinet Minister Liu Zhongqing submitted a memorial, requesting that the Prime Minister take charge of the Ministry of Justice.
The reason is of course very plausible, that is, since you are in the position, you must govern the country!
Otherwise, you can be like Prime Minister Xu, assisting the king and taking charge of the overall situation... Of course, Emperor Ming Yan would not agree to this, as he would give you a transcendent status. Mainly, Yan Shiyue would not agree to this either, as this would mean that he would have to attend the morning court every day? ?
Otherwise, you can just focus on one thing and gain some experience. You can't be idle and have great power at the same time.
This statement is reasonable, compliant and legal, and even Emperor Ming Yandi could not refute it.
Then the Minister of Justice Li Jinzhong immediately said, "I am a person of limited talent and knowledge. In addition, our Ministry of Justice is in charge of the punishment of the whole country, and the responsibility is heavy. We are eagerly looking forward to the Prime Minister to take charge!" In addition, we heard the Prime Minister talk about the "handprint" last time, which was unheard of. We are happy to hear it. It is really appropriate for the Prime Minister to come to our Ministry of Justice!
"Minister Li's words are polite. I second your proposal!"
"I second the motion!"
"I second this motion!"
Yan Shiyue, who was called over, listened to the detailed retelling of the story and had only one thought in his mind: Damn, that person really guessed it right!
She immediately said, "My Lords, your words are very polite. I will obey my father."
Emperor Ming Yan pondered.
In fact, if she really wanted to join the six ministries, he would prefer her to go to the Ministry of Revenue.
But if it is the current situation...he does prefer the Ministry of Rites, or the Ministry of Works.
But no one in the court mentioned the Ministry of Rites, so he said, "Fuyan is too erratic and should not go to the Ministry of Justice."
Others sensed the emperor's intention and naturally began to recommend other departments, such as the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites...
Then Emperor Mingyan said, "Even if she goes, she will only study. Fuyan, what do you think?"
