Chapter 246 Reading is really tiring
Emperor Mingxi immediately realized that Qin Zhi must be extraordinary, so he deliberately stopped beside Qin Zhi's desk and looked around, pretending to inspect the whole place.
Xia Miaoyuan took the opportunity to continue reading Qin Zhi's headline, and saw that it was written, Qin Zhi from Yuzhou.
[Qin Zhi from Yuzhou, I remember this person! ]
[He is in the book. I remember that he is well-educated, handsome, and has a good character. ]
[What's rare is that he is still loyal to Daxia. After Jiang Taishi plotted to usurp the throne, he would rather give up his official career and be a teacher in his hometown than take the imperial examination and work for the traitors. ]
[Later, Liang Chaozong recruited talents and recruited him. 】
【At first, Qin Zhi was unwilling to work for Liang Chaozong, but Liang Chaozong deceived him by saying that he wanted to drive out the traitors and return the country to Daxia. 】
【Qin Zhi was kind-hearted, but he was deceived by Liang Chaozong. 】
Xia Zhengqi was shocked when he heard this.
【Unexpectedly, the plot was reversed in this life. With the addition of the special examination, Qin Zhi actually passed the palace examination. It was really rare. 】
【I hope he can pass the examination this time and stay in the court as an official. 】
Xia Zhengqi silently repeated in his heart several times: Qin Zhi of Yuzhou.
Okay, he remembered this name, and when he reads the papers, he will definitely keep this person.
Xia Zhengqi continued to patrol the venue with his daughter in his arms.
Xia Miaoyuan discovered another talent in the book: Xu Jingan.
[Xu Jing'an, he is the son of the magistrate of Wuping County near the capital. ]
[Although he was born in an official family, he does not have any bad habits of the children of officials. ]
[He is very hardworking, and because he has been following his father in office since he was a child, he has seen his father judge cases many times and is quite interested in criminal trials. ]
[He has read a lot of books on criminal trials. Before he was twenty years old, he was already well versed in this field and could even lead the yamen runners to solve cases. ]
[It can be said that he is simply a criminal investigation genius chosen by heaven. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the reincarnation of Di Renjie. ]
Xia Zhengqi nodded slowly: Okay, he also remembered this Xu Jing'an.
After finally getting through two hours, the palace examination was finally over.
The examinees lined up and walked out of the hall in an orderly manner.
The eunuchs in charge of miscellaneous affairs collected the papers on the table one by one, sorted them out, and handed them to several examiners.
Just as several examiners were holding the test papers, bowing to Xia Zhengqi and preparing to leave.
Xia Zhengqi suddenly said: "You will keep the papers of this year's palace examination for now. I will take a look at them first, and then give them to you." When
several examiners heard this, they were stunned.
Because according to custom, the examiners would first read all the papers from beginning to end, eliminate the candidates in the top three, and then select dozens of the most outstanding ones and hand them over to the emperor.
From these papers, the emperor selected the top three in the first class, and then the top ten in the second class.
The four deputy examiners looked at each other, and then looked at the chief examiner, Lord Yan.
Lord Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "Since the emperor wants to read it first, we will leave the papers behind." Although
Yan Wenjing was somewhat surprised by the emperor's proposal, he believed that Emperor Mingxi must have his reasons for doing so.
When the four deputy examiners heard that the chief examiner agreed, they suppressed their confusion and did as they were told.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Zhengqi specially set up two rooms in the Qianqing Palace as temporary reading places and assigned more people to guard them day and night.
He also ordered that during the reading period, no one could enter the Qianqing Palace unless summoned.
In the next few days, Xia Zhengqi lived and ate in the Qianqing Palace, and even brought his daughter over to accompany him in reading.
To the outside world, it was too boring to read the papers alone.
Only the Crown Prince and the Empress understood him. They took Xia Miaoyuan with them to review the papers because they were worried about missing out on talented people.
However, this made Xia Miaoyuan suffer.
For several days in a row, she followed Emperor Mingxi to review the papers in the Qianqing Palace from morning to night, and was not allowed to bring pets.
This was because Emperor Mingxi was afraid that his little orange and Maomao would be naughty and chew the test papers.
On the fifth day of reviewing the papers, Xia Miaoyuan could no longer bear it.
"Father, I want to go out and play!" Xia Miaoyuan begged by pulling the corner of Emperor Mingxi's robe.
"Miao'er, be good and wait a little longer."
Xia Zhengqi comforted her. "I want to go out and play! I don't want to be here! Ah ah ah ah!" Xia Miaoyuan wiped her tears.
"Miao'er, wait patiently, father only has a few papers left to finish." Xia Zhengqi hugged his daughter and showed her the rest of his papers.
He even turned the papers over to show Xia Miaoyuan the names of the examinees.
"Miao'er, do you think these papers are good?" Xia Zhengqi asked softly.
"I don't understand!" Xia Miaoyuan pouted and turned her face away.
Xia Zhengqi smiled helplessly and told Debao to send the little princess back to Kunning Palace first.
Before Xia Miaoyuan left, Xia Zhengqi comforted her, "Miao'er, go back to Kunning Palace first. I will come to find you after your father has finished reading these papers in half an hour." As soon as
Xia Miaoyuan returned to Kunning Palace, she was like a pony running wild.
After being intimate with the queen for a while, Xia Miaoyuan took Xiaojuzi and wanted to take Maomao out to play.
Just in time, the fifth prince came to play with her.
"Miao'er, Fifth Brother hasn't seen you for several days. Are you bored living in the Qianqing Palace of our father?" the Fifth Prince asked with concern.
Xia Miaoyuan said in a baby voice, "Living in the Qianqing Palace is boring. It's not fun at all."
The brother and sister chatted and laughed, and took Maomao and Xiaojuzi to visit the Yu Garden together.
Xia Miaoyuan rode on Maomao, looking very leisurely.
At this time, Maomao was almost grown up and was already very tall. Xia Miaoyuan's small body was just right for riding on Maomao.
The Fifth Prince helped Xia Miaoyuan hold Maomao's leash to prevent it from running around.
When the two siblings walked to the corner of a palace road, suddenly, the voices of two palace maids came over.
"That Miss Rong Er is so beautiful!"
"Yes, how can the niece of Concubine Rong not be beautiful?"
