I Rely On Beauty To Stabilize The Country - Chapter 166
The imperial examination is a layer of cloth that conceals the bureaucracy, and the knowledge of the top ten is already comparable. In this case, the rankings are more considered.
The ten papers had already lost their names. Gu Yuanbai asked the courtiers to read the papers back and forth, and then smiled and asked, “What do you think of this new class of Jinshi?”
The political affairs hall and the Privy Council are the two governments of the military and government, and the highest administrative officials are naturally accompanied by the saint. The Secret Envoy Zhao held his white beard and sighed: “I have a large number of Daheng talents, and all of them are talented people. These ten papers are all beautiful and good articles. This is the blessing of Daheng.”
The officials of the political affairs hall responded with a smile.
Gu Yuanbai pondered for a while, picked out three papers and put them at the front, pointed at Chu Wei’s papers, and exclaimed: “The first name of the examination, even the hall examination papers also write scores.”
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly said: “Holy Lord, Chu Wei was the Xie Yuan seven years ago.”
“Oh?” Gu Yuanbai said, “What a coincidence.”
The others laughed. Gu Yuanbai smiled and pointed to Kong Yilin’s paper again, “What do you think of this one?”
The privy envoy thought for a while, and said: “This son has a heart, the most rare thing is that he is down-to-earth, and he is not lacking in fortitude and sharpness. He is a solid (gan) good talent.”
Gu Yuanbai nodded, “The top three will be selected from among these three, but how to arrange them makes me a headache. These three are in my heart.”
Hubu Shangshu suggested: “How can I see these three people?”
Gu Yuanbai was pleased: “Also.”
He likes Kong Yilin, and the commander from Shandong has never held a group. This talent is full of talents, and he is from a poor family. He is down-to-earth and hidden in the strategy and writing, which can be regarded as the champion.
As a future capable minister, Chu Wei is also a great talent, but at this time Chu Wei has not experienced the floating dust of the official sea. Although his writing is close to the people’s livelihood, it is quite extreme. However, his father’s official position is low and there is no political party disputes, but he is nothing but a light one. It is most suitable to choose him as the second place.
In the end, Tan Hua Lang can pick up the famous and talented students, who can just give him a good public opinion talent, Chang Yuyan, to build momentum.
After a while, the **** beside the door said loudly: “Xuan Chuwei, Chang Yuyan, and Kong Yilin will see you.”
The three of them glanced at each other, and entered the Piandian with the jealous and enviable gaze of the students behind them. These three people were younger and healthier than the other, and each was a slender young man. Gu Yuanbai still had a smile on his face, but his smile stopped abruptly when he saw Kong Yilin coming in.
Kong Yilin looks plain, but his eyes are extremely deep. Some people can make the whole face shine with only the eyes. This is how Kong Yilin is. But these eyes are definitely not the eyes of the people of Daheng Dynasty.
A point suddenly flashed in the scattered memory, and Gu Yuanbai suddenly remembered who this Kong Yilin was.
In the drama “The Minister”, the historical facts of the Huang Chao uprising were used to compile the same plot. Huang Chao was the jinshi who was dismissed because of his ugly appearance by Tang Xizong. This incident indirectly promoted Huang Chao’s uprising and even forced it later. Tang Xizong fled Chang’an.
In “The Minister of Power”, Kong Yilin played such a role (color). He is not ugly. The reason why he was deposed is because he has Xixia blood.
If Gu Yuanbai hadn’t passed through, at this time the power minister Lu Feng was still in charge of the government. Lu Feng is a stubborn and domineering conservative, he will naturally not allow people of Xixia blood to become officials in the Daheng Dynasty.
After being deposed, Kong Yilin was alone. He directly abandoned his identity as Daheng and switched to Xixia to develop his national strength. With a small Xixia, he finally forced Daheng to lose five or six cities in a row. If he remembers correctly, it is Xue in the end. Yuan led soldiers into battle and fought a powerful battle.
Gu Yuanbai smiled slowly.
After a while, he got up from behind the table and walked to the three of them.
The saint’s body carries the precious scent of the palace, which is delicate and elegant, but extremely long and rich. It’s extremely contradictory, but it just makes people know the word noble when they smell it.
The three people standing here are all taller than the sage. Even if they lower their heads respectfully and do not look directly at Sheng Yan, they can still see the blue silk draped on the back when the sage is walking.
Kong Yilin’s eyes are full of Xixia’s features. Although he is not visible on his face, he still feels worried about his eyes. Now he sees Sheng Shang approaching, his head is lowered deeper, without a trace. Weakened their sense of existence.
But the saint stood in front of him.
“Kong Yilin,” Sheng Sheng said like pearls falling on a jade plate, “I read your policy, and what you wrote makes me read it heartily.”
Kong Yilin bent down more humbly, “Students are terrified, thank you for your appreciation.”
Holy Master said: “Look up and let me look at you.”
Kong Yilin followed the sacramental etiquette taught by the Ministry of Ritual, with his head raised and his eyes drooping. He could only see the lines of the dragon robe in front of the saint (xiong), but Gu Yuanbai could see clearly and close up. His pedigree is biased towards Xixia’s eyes.
The eyelashes are dense and long when the eyes are down. Just looking at these eyes, it feels like a doll.
Gu Yuanbai wanted to see the inner face (color) of his pupils clearly, but Kong Yilin should be too worried. He was really prettier, and his eyes were not lifted up. It can be seen that these eyes have suffered so much.
The sage kept silent, Kong Yilin’s heart sank, he lifted his robe and knelt down: “Students are pleased by the sage.”
Gu Yuanbai took a long sigh of relief and leaned over to support him, “What is your sin?”
Kong Yilin stood up following the strength in a daze, with a dazed expression.
Gu Yuanbai smiled lightly and said, “Yilin has great talents. I can’t cherish it in time. Where can I blame?”
Chu Wei and Chang Yuyan on the side watched this scene where the monarch and his ministers were joined together. The two of them had their faces unchanged, and the other smiled like a spring breeze. They reminded them of the fact that the sage stood by Kong Yilin for a long time during the temple examination.
How talented is this Kong Yilin? Are you so special?
Gu Yuanbai said a few words with the top three, and then let them out.
After they went out, Gu Yuanbai immediately went to the Ministry of Rites and said, “Chu Wei is the number one winner, Kong Yilin is the second place, and Chang Yuyan can be a scouting.”
The Book of Etiquette should be solemnly.
In the main hall, Chang Yuyan smiled so much that the gentleman was right. He took the initiative to say hello to Kong Yilin and said, “Brother Yilin, the sage treats you so kindly, presumably Brother Yilin’s ranking cannot be lowered.”
Kong Yilin humbly said: “I’m so incompetent, I can’t bear such a kind of love.”
Chang Yuyan felt cold. This Kong Yilin said that he was incompetent, but his eyes were calm and unchanging, and he was obviously confident in his talents.
Since the last time the sage ignored Chang Yuyan in Xue’s mansion, Chang Yuyan felt uneasy, and now he finally saw the sage again, but the sage saw Kong Yilin again.
The saint is still that beautiful, Jiyue, from the beginning to the end, there is no place that does not show the dignity of the emperor. Such a noble saint, I am afraid of how hard Chang Yuyan works, for fear of being disliked by the saint.
But now, what kind of policy theory did this Kong Yilin finally write to make the sage value him so much?
Chu Wei tilted his head to glance at the two of them, and stood upright without a word.
Just as the three of them had their own minds, the movement in the hall suddenly began, and the Chuanyu Hall officially began.
The examinees looked serious, and many eunuchs were holding clothes for these new scholars (geng). After they finished changing their clothes, they looked up and saw that the **** was already sitting on the dragon chair.
The venue of Chuanxu Hall was not in Xuanzheng Hall, but in the more generous Jinluan Hall. In the Golden Luang Temple, only important events such as pilgrimages of all nations, major festivals, and seeing off soldiers will be used. At this time, hundreds of officials were arranged to the left and right, and Xinke Jinshi stood in the center, the atmosphere was quiet, and many people could not help holding their breath.
In this heavy atmosphere, the most eye-catching thing is the Lord who sits aloft.
Taking advantage of the time when the **** was changing his official uniform, Kong Yilin glanced up at the sage without a trace. His gaze couldn’t help but he recovered after a few breaths.
The saints dragon robe is cumbersome and heavy, but his face is shining brightly.
Is there really anyone in the world who brings together power, status, and appearance?
Kong Yilin only knew at this moment, of course there was, and this person was still the most noble person in the world.
Let people know that they are out of reach.
Among the new recruits, there are only a few bold people who dare to take the opportunity to take a peek at Sheng Yan. When the officials of Honghe Temple sang the name, the students bowed their heads and began to wait for the name.
“The first one is Chu Wei.”
There was a flash in Chu Wei’s eyes. He got up and took a few steps forward, following the guidance to kneel to the left. On her calm and calm face, the corners of her lips (hook gou) slightly, and a slight smile appeared.
Previously, the saint in the partial hall treated Kong Yilin so much, he thought that the little emperor would give Kong Yilin the champion.
Kong Yilin’s face did not change (color), but a sense of disappointment suddenly rose in his heart. Kong Yilin himself thought it was funny. He suffered from these eyes, and it was a success if he passed the palace test. But now he is not greedy enough, and he has the ambition to be the champion. Things are really fickle and ridiculous.
Officials from Honghe Temple continued to roll their names: “Kong Yilin, second in the first class.”
Kong Yilin took a deep breath and walked to the right side beside Chu Wei and knelt down steadily.
“Chang Yuyan, the third place in the first class…”
This spread of the Hall of the People has lasted for more than half an hour, and when the roll call is over, the Xinke Jinshi followed the Baiguan towards Gu Yuanbai and gave three kneeling and nine knocks. Sitting alone in a high position, Gu Yuanbai, who watched the crowd salute, exhaled a sullen breath.
Being an emperor is addictive.
Especially when you see all the courtiers worshiping oneself, and those ministers who are usually majestic and majestic kneeling down respectfully, this feeling is really addictive.
Gu Yuanbai reminded himself to stay awake, he is not a dictator.
