Chapter 141 141
"Young master of the Xi family? This is serious." The head of the Xi family, Xi Rong, is Taiwei, and the eldest son is the servant of the official department. When Qi Jingqi was in power, he did not stand in line, but handled things in a proper manner, and would oppose Qi Jingqi. Some instructions that are not in accordance with the law, so after Qi Bohan succeeded to the throne, the positions of the father and son did not change in any way.In the capital city where all the ministers have been wiped out, the Xi family can be said to be one of the most powerful families today!
Hearing everyone's comments, Xi Chengye looked even more proud, and looked at Xi Tianyun contemptuously: "I advise you to recognize your status, you are just a lost dog, want to get fame and become an official in the court? Even if the elder brother agrees, my father will I won't let you go!"
Hearing this, Xi Tianyun tightened her hand holding the teacup, and her expression was a little disheartened.He knew that the Xi family was covering the sky with only one hand, and it was just a fluke to participate in the imperial examination this time. Now that the last hope in his heart was punctured face to face, he just felt cold all over.
Seeing his appearance, Xi Chengye finally breathed a sigh of relief, like a winning rooster, and spit at Xi Tianyun.
At this moment, a person who announced the good news rushed into the teahouse and shouted loudly: "I have won! Mr. Xi is the top of the high school list!"
"Top one!" Xi Chengye himself was quite surprised, but calmed down quickly.It must be the emperor who gave his brother face in order to appease his father and brother.Xi Chengye tidied up his robes, and said loudly: "Some wastes should be peacefully treated as wastes for a lifetime, instead of running out to shame people."
Xi Tianyun didn't pay attention to Xi Chengye's words, he only felt that the future was bleak.
Suddenly, the person who announced the good news said in an embarrassing voice: "Well, the top one in high school is Mr. Xi Tianyun."
"What? It's impossible!" Xi Chengye ran towards the place where the rankings were posted in disbelief, pushing through the crowd like crazy and coming to the notice board.
Xi Tianyun's name was at the top of the list, which hurt his eyes.Xi Chengye gritted his silver teeth with hatred, but somehow he calmed down a bit, and carefully scanned the rest of the names.
No, no, no, nothing!He didn't make the list? !what on earth is it!
Xi Chengye yelled at the yamen servant who came to post the list in disbelief: "Impossible! Did you post the wrong list! My father said that I should be in the first class!"
As soon as Xi Chengye said this, there was an uproar around him.He also quickly realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.
However, it was too late.
In the early morning of the next day, before Qi Bohan could launch an attack, a censor immediately came out to impeach Taiwei Xirong for his incompetence in teaching his son and conniving at his youngest son for cheating in the imperial examinations!
Xi Rong and Xi Taihe turned pale at the scene, Xi Rong hurriedly knelt down to admit his mistake and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I absolutely did not participate in the imperial examination fraud. The evil son is eager to win. Yesterday he just said without restraint and without intention. I beg Your Majesty to learn from you." !"
Xi Taihe also knelt down and begged the emperor for enlightenment.The foreheads of both father and son were almost bleeding.
Cheating in imperial examinations has always been a big taboo. Knowing that the Holy Majesty is suppressing the family recently, Xi Chengye was caught by Qi Bohan for being so stupid. People in other families are watching the jokes of Xi's family.The big pie of the aristocratic family is getting smaller and smaller, and the other aristocratic families wish that someone made a mistake so that they can seize other people's big pie. At this time, no other aristocratic family will come to save the Xi family.
Qi Bohan watched the sincere performance of the father and son of the Xi family, with a mocking smile on his face: "You two lovers don't need to worry, I believe that the two lovers will not do such a thing."
Hearing this, the Xi family father and son only felt their hearts tremble, and an ominous premonition shrouded their hearts.
Sure enough, Qi Bohan continued: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated, so that the two lovers can be cleared."
Qi Bohan suspended the two men for investigation, and asked Yuan Shajing to thoroughly investigate the matter.
Hearing Yuan Shajing's energetic acceptance of the order, the father and son of the Xi family only felt that their eyes were gloomy.How could they have not cheated? They even bribed the examiner to give Xi Chengye a first grade in the examination paper.Who would have thought that Qi Bohan would be so idle, and even checked the examination papers himself, and passed Xi Chengye's first grade.
They did these things very secretly, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world. If Yuan Shajing really finds out something, the Gong family will be a lesson for them!
Many people in the court were watching the Xi family's jokes, but at the same time they all went back and restrained the family a lot, so as not to fall into the trap.All of a sudden, the extravagant atmosphere in the capital dissipated quite a bit.
Three days after the release of the rankings, ten students entered the palace to face the saint in high spirits.
And Lu Hongliang, who failed the ranking, began to pack his things and prepare to go home.It was expected that he didn't make the list this time, and he didn't feel disappointed, but the few questions he didn't answer on the test paper, like a kitten, would jump out from time to time to tickle him and tickle him. Very nice!
Just as Lu Hongliang was leaving the inn with a small package on his back, a boy with a baby face suddenly stopped him: "Mr. Lu, my master is here to invite you."
"Who is your master?" Lu Hongliang frowned, recalling that he shouldn't have offended any big shots in the capital, right?
Ziqi approached Lu Hongliang with a smile, opened and closed his mouth and said silently: Tao Jianran.
Lu Hongliang saw Ziqi's mouth clearly, and his heart skipped a beat.Tao Jianran, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites? !That popular fried chicken?What did he ask for himself!
Lu Hongliang dazedly followed Ziqi to Shangshu Mansion, but Tao Jianran was not in the mansion at this time, Ziqi took Lu Hongliang to an unused study room, pointed to a pile of books on the table, and said: "Master said let You read these books first."
"Could it be..." Lu Hongliang directly threw his small package aside, picked up a book, and his eyes lit up immediately.Sure enough, it was those questions that he couldn't solve!
Seeing Lu Hongliang immersed in selflessness, Ziqi closed the door and left without disturbing him.
At this time, Tao Jianran was in the palace, watching the disciple face the saint.
However, after watching for a long time, he couldn't help yawning.It was the first time for these students to face the Holy Spirit, and they were inevitably a little nervous. When answering questions, they didn't talk like usual, but stammered, and the wonderful answers were greatly compromised.
The only bright spot is Xi Tianyun, although it can be seen that she is still very nervous, but she is neither humble nor overbearing, and her mood is stable.
In the end, as expected, the young man who chose Wennong Sang Juan became this year's champion.The second place is a middle-aged man in his 40s, and Tanhua is also in his 30s.At the age of early twenties, Xi Tianyun can be said to be a winner in life!
The next step is for the number one scholar to parade through the streets, but they can't return home because they still have interviews.
There are a total of 80 first-class candidates on the list this year. Wang Lingjun spent five days screening out about [-] people, and the remaining [-] people came in front of Tao Jianran. Wan's reputation points are going to be gone! !
Tao Jianran took a deep breath and looked at the young man in front of him.
The last time Tao Jianran saw Xi Tianyun in Zichen Palace, he was in high spirits, but still a little nervous.Today, he seemed much calmer. After bowing to Tao Jianran, he stood still in front of him, waiting for Tao Jianran to ask questions.
Although I don't know why it is necessary to go through an interview with the Minister of Rites when arranging officials to take office, Xi Tianyun knows what to ask and what not to inquire about.
Tao Jianran poked the system and exchanged [-] reputation points for Xi Tianyun's value.

Such an excellent value has no specialty?Tao Jianran frowned, looked carefully at Xi Tianyun several times, and said, "Well, that's fine, next." After speaking, he ticked Xi Tianyun's name.
Xi Tianyun only saw Tao Jianran staring at her for a long time, and then passed. Could it be that this test is etiquette?It seems that this is the only way to explain it.A young man who has just entered the political arena has already begun to have the advantage of a big brain.
Tao Jianran's interviews are fast, one interview per minute, and more than 1 people have been interviewed in one day.After excluding 13 people with low moral character, a total of 74 fresh blood were excavated in this imperial examination!
Tao Jianran and Wang Lingjun assigned the appointments of the 74 people in half a day.36 people went to Ning'an, and 37 people went to Guangyi, all of whom were county magistrates.
As for Guangyi, the three prefects of Guangyi previously promoted by Qi Jingliang were all removed, and Gongsun Deye was appointed as the prefect of the three prefectures of Guangyi, Zhang Lin concurrently served as the prefect of Yuezhou and Lingzhou, and Chen Wanyong was transferred to Haizhou.There is also Xi Tianyun, who follows Gongsun Deye and concurrently serves as the general judge of the three states.
Xi Tianyun's starting point was many times higher than other people on the same list, and she suddenly suffered from envy and even resentment from the thirty or so people who were dismissed.
Being dismissed is not just as simple as not being an official. Those who are dismissed by Wang Lingjun are directly investigated for fraud in the imperial examination.Those who were dismissed by Tao Jianran, although they still had the title of Jinshi, but because of their character, it was impossible to go any further.
The imperial examination was over, and Tao Jianran returned to the Shangshu Mansion, as if he had forgotten something important, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"What are you thinking about?" Qi Bohan, who appeared at an unknown time, hugged Tao Jianran directly from behind, "You haven't come to the palace these days." Qi Bohan's tone was still somewhat resentful.Tao Jianran didn't go into the palace to help him handle the memorial, he was often busy late at night by himself, and it was inconvenient for him to leave the palace.So these days, I can only see Tao Jianran in the early morning, and I am really not satisfied at all!
Today, Qi Bohan went into a rage in the imperial study, threw away a lot of memorials for the impeachment of the six ministers, and ran out to find Tao Jianran.
"I'm busy." Tao Jianran turned to face Qi Bohan, wrapping his hands around his neck, "Are you moving Xi's family soon?" Although Qi Bohan apparently only asked Yuan Shajing to check whether Xi's family had cheated in the imperial examination, Tao Jianran I know, he has already sent secret guards to search for other crimes committed by the Xi family.
