Three thousand occupations can be introduced

Chapter 14

Uncle Huang moved out of the palace, so he didn't have many chances to meet alone. He had been with Uncle Huang since he was a child, and now that he had been away suddenly for so long, his heart was empty and he felt uncomfortable doing things.Even now, I haven't gotten used to it.

He felt that the little emperor's uncle had lost weight, and it must be because the food outside was not as good as that in the palace.The little emperor sighed inwardly for not being well taken care of.

Speaking of flat body, all the courtiers lined up on both sides.There is a clear distinction between civil and military.

The emperor didn't say anything, but walked down the jade steps and stopped in front of Fan Zhongyan. "I heard that the literary talent of this year's juren is very good~" He tugged at Fan Zhongyan's proud beard, and said slightly mischievously.

Fan Zhongyan said with pain: "In just one month, there are many talented people who have made their names. Adding the talented people from Kyoto, they can be called brilliant scholars." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Li Yi smugly.

But the emperor frowned, flashed his nose vigorously with his hands, and said with disgust, "Aiqing, you won't have garlic-flavored buns for breakfast again, tsk tsk."

Fan Zhongyan sniffed it vigorously, and replied seriously: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the garlic was eaten yesterday."

Li Yi's face turned black. He had been talking nonsense with this guy for a long time in the morning, so he probably smelled of garlic too.This man is really disgraceful!

A smile overflowed from the corner of Zhou Xu's mouth, but some ministers laughed loudly without hiding it at all.

The emperor took a walk for a while before returning to the dragon chair and said majestically: "My dear friends, be serious, there will be new people joining your officials soon, don't leave a bad impression on them. You must set a good example, understand?"

Everyone held back their laughter, but some old ministers secretly called out: "Ouch, old man's waist."

After talking nonsense, the emperor said with a serious face: "If you have something important to do, report it quickly, and then quickly go back to your respective positions to work. Today's big thing is the imperial examination. If you have nothing to do, stay and watch."

After the emperor finished speaking, everyone put some unimportant memorials in their arms and reported them when they were free.The emperor's personal eunuch, Xiao Lizi, shouted: "Retire without incident." Those courtiers who still had urgent matters to attend to retreated one after another.While walking, he glanced fiercely at the ministers who were left to watch the excitement.

Looking at it from this angle, Zhou Xu always felt that the emperor's smile seemed so malicious, like a conspiracy.

When the time came, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all the candidates who were on the list entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony. After going through the etiquette of roll call, handing out papers, worship, salute, etc., the emperor asked a special person to issue the policy questions.

Zhou Xu has never had the opportunity to try the scientific examination himself, and this imperial examination is also very rare for him.After all, he has only been in the court for three years, and this is also the first time he has personally experienced ancient scientific research.

The chief examiner and several other people who were in charge of setting the questions looked nervously at the examinees in the hall, as if they wanted to see the difficulty of the questions from their expressions.

Some candidates took the test papers and started to answer the questions without looking up; some candidates frowned, puzzled.Some candidates were going to ask the examiner some questions (this is allowed, as long as you don't ask questions.) Zhou Xu scanned the audience and found a few interesting people.

Isn't the favorite to win the championship sitting there? Hey, it's quite strange. Why did the Yan family in Jiangnan allow their eldest son to take part in the scientific examination?This man is really ancient and handsome, with a unique demeanor, very pleasing to the eye.Zhou Xu didn't care about Chun Wei's ranking and results. He was busy with Zhou Che these few days. Zhou Che had just returned to Kyoto for a few days and left to train recruits.Fortunately, the training location this time is on the outskirts of Kyoto.

After thinking about it, Zhou Xu put down his thinking, and in a blink of an eye saw that Kou Laoxi, who could judge cases but not drink, looked calm. Although he was not confident, he had ink in his pen.

As for the well-known Fourth Young Master of Kyoto, he has seen it. It is said that a pen is written like a god, and the dragon and snake are flying, and a picture is turned over in a blink of an eye.The styles of these four young masters are really similar, they are all a fast word.

After seeing it, Zhou Xu was a little impatient, and felt that he was being stabbed by a burst of scorching eyes, and looked in the direction of suspicion, hey, a fat man shaped like dough.But it's not ugly at all, but rather naive.He stared at this person for a long time, the fat man showed a shy smile, and in a blink of an eye he began to answer the question seriously again.Zhou Xu felt that smile seemed to be his own fantasy.This dough fat man answered the questions very seriously, to the point of a pious attitude.

The little emperor followed Zhou Xu's gaze, and also sized up the new power that was about to enter the court.This group is the cronies he wants to focus on cultivating.He looked at those who answered the questions quickly and frowned slightly.It stands to reason that this question should not be answered so quickly, because the question is not simple.

There is a problem that is extremely biased. It is taken from an article by Lao Tzu. It is very difficult to solve the problem if it is a policy theory.He is determined to rectify the atmosphere of scientific research.

It was still a long day, and the exam was going to take another day. Looking at Uncle Huang, he walked down the jade steps, walked up to Zhou Xu, and said softly, "Uncle Xiao Huang, let's go for a stroll in the imperial garden."

Zhou Xu was noncommittal, but nodded in agreement.

Ji Rui pushed the wheelchair, and Xiao Lizi followed the emperor out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.The other ministers looked at the candidates who answered the questions seriously.

The spring is bright and the imperial garden is full of flowers.

At that time, there were not many women in the palace, and the new emperor did not choose a queen, nor did he choose beauties from the people.She was accompanied by the woman who was rewarded by the former emperor.The Supreme Emperor moved away a long time ago and went to a palace elsewhere.The emperor's concubines also followed.

The emperor felt that he and Zhou Xu had something to talk about privately, and it was always embarrassing to have someone around.He waved his hand to let Xiao Lizi back down, and Zhou Xu also made Jirui back into the pavilion at the right time.The emperor was very happy to take over Jirui's class.This Jirui is a master personally selected by the Supreme Emperor, he really doesn't dare to order this person.

——Isn't this filial piety?

"What's the matter, dear nephew, why don't you speak?" The little emperor pushed for a long time but didn't start. Zhou Xu felt strange, as far as he knew, the emperor had never been so silent in front of him.

"Little emperor uncle, can you move back to the palace and stay with me?" The little emperor asked sullenly, his tone was not firm, as if he was just thinking about it.

"Why?" Zhou Xu was a little puzzled. Speaking of which, he saw his nephew growing up. He knew exactly what kind of personality he had. He was resolute and courageous. He was good at listening to other people's opinions.Although he is still young, he is the seedling of a good emperor.This is also the choice of the deposed prince to be discarded, and the overlord chooses thousands of times.

Why do you suddenly need someone to accompany you?

"I just feel lonely living alone in such a big palace. I am not happy lying on the big dragon bed, and I always think of me lying side by side in the study with the little emperor uncle, talking a lot, like that I'm just happy." The little emperor spared his body and buried his head on Zhou Xu's lap, his tone sullen and aggrieved.

"Are you scared?" Zhou Xu's tone was gentle, a look that outsiders had never seen before.Zhou Xu in front of others always looks calm, noble and unapproachable.But this appearance happened to be seen by several aristocratic daughters and daughters of ministers who were summoned by the Queen Mother to enter the palace.They entered the palace with their mother and were a little tired, so they made an appointment to tell the queen mother to go to the imperial garden to enjoy some flowers.At that time, there will still be many women staying in the queen mother's palace, saying some warm words.

Not daring to disturb them, they sneaked a few glances, were stunned for a moment, then tiptoed away, discussing with each other in low voices.

"He looks really good-looking, like a god, and he is as magnificent as a god." The daughter of the censor said blushing.

"Yes, he is so gentle." The daughter of the Grand Scholar agreed, her eyebrows were all bent together.

That young girl was not pregnant, and the daughter of the family who was always calm in situations was also a little shy, nodded and responded in a low voice.They have seen many aristocratic sons, all handsome, uninhibited, and elegant, but they have never been so gentle.Neither their brothers nor their fathers looked like this.

What they long for most in their hearts is someone who can love them, understand them, and listen to them talk about their daughter's family.

The prime minister's daughter is the calmest. She has always known that people have two sides, one way to outsiders, and another way to themselves.This outsider's legend said that the prince is noble and extraordinary, and he has the appearance of a fairy, but she is not suitable for marriage.Such a person can only be used as an idol, not a husband-in-law.

Ever since she received the Queen Mother's post, she has been fidgeting.Her position is too obvious and too dangerous.But she never wanted to enter this palace, and was trapped in this cage ever since.Not only would she lose her freedom, but her personality as well.It will also turn her into a calculating person like drinking cold water.

These few people have all focused on the wrong point, and the person they might marry is the one who is comforted.

Jirui saw that they were helpless women, and did not relax his vigilance.Although in this palace, there is no need.

Zhou Xu comforted the little emperor before he took out the reason.It turned out that they were about to get married, and soon they would be adults, and it was time to elect a queen and four concubines.

Zhou Xu thought for a moment about the young girls who had been peeking at just now. Those who can enter the Royal Garden at this time should be some noble girls, and they should be some candidates.

"It's better to take the initiative and choose someone you like because of the refusal now." Blindly evading won't solve the problem, so Zhou Xu persuaded in order not to generate resentment.

"Okay, then little uncle, you can choose for me." The emperor rubbed his nose with some embarrassment, and said seriously.

"How can this work? Marriage is not a joke. The candidate must be someone you like, and your brother and sister-in-law are also satisfied. My opinion is not very important." Zhou Xu replied seriously, but he was thinking in his heart that the little emperor still has marriage. What about phobias?
