After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 33
From then on, Lu Yanchen still came to the palace to teach Ye Qingcheng every afternoon, but the teaching time was greatly shortened.

Lu Yanchen quickly found Song Zhe's name in Xiangxue in Beijing, but Xiangxue said that he had submitted a letter to resign years ago, and had not seen him for more than a month.

This is more or less good news, at least, Ye Qing has a hole card.If it doesn't work, she can use this as an excuse to question the interrogation of the three divisions with the portrait, and ask the real Wang Lisong to face the saint.

But without finding Song Zhe, it is still difficult to make an iron case.

Just as Lu Yanchen was running around looking for Song Zhe's whereabouts, Er Yue Chunwei started his department.

After more than a month of rectification, the Ministry of Rites is now back on track.Wen Xinzhong, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Rites because of his meritorious service during the New Year.

The appointment of this person was unanimously approved by the cabinet, and Ye Qinghuai directly stamped the seal and announced it.

After all, there are not many people who can make Chen Yuansi and Gu Shihai nod at the same time.

The Ministry of Rituals has a lot of things to do these days. New Year’s Eve in January, Spring in February, Engagement of the Empress in March, Confucianism in April, and Congratulations to Neighbors in May.

The first day of Chunwei's opening of the department happened to be the day when Wang Lisong was exiled.

On that day, Ye Qinghuai climbed to the highest Xingyun Pavilion in the palace alone.She looked into the distance, but could only see the outline of the south gate of Shengjing.

Wang Lisong will go out from this city gate today, heading south all the way to Leizhou, where the mountain road is lingering and rainy.This trip, life and death are uncertain, maybe it will be difficult to see the prosperity of Shengjing again in this life.

And in the Gongyuan not far behind him, tens of thousands of candidates are scribbling in the examination room, scribbling for a career.

"I hope that this spring will produce a few talents." Ye Qinghuai murmured, looking at the blue-gray eaves of the Gongyuan.
-
The twelfth day of the second lunar month is the day when Chun Wei releases the list.

Dajing Chunwei happens once every three years, so this is the first time Ye Qinghuai has started a course to obtain a scholar since he came to the throne.

According to the regulations set by the Emperor Shengzu, the Jinshi after Chunwei's middle list must be arranged by the Ministry of Rites to face the saint, hold a palace examination, and then be appointed by the emperor.However, in Ye Qinghuai's father's reign, after Emperor Shunping held the Spring Festival twice, he felt that the palace examination was just a formality, so he canceled it.The top three in Chunwei are drawn up by the cabinet and approved by the emperor himself.

On the day when the list was released, in the morning of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a list of the list was presented to Ye Qinghuai by the Ministry of Rites.

Ye Qinghuai is very much looking forward to this list, and it may include her future right-hand man, Minister of Humerus.

However, as soon as she opened it and saw the name of the first Jia, her hands froze.

Three names are impressively written in jet black ink on the bright red background:

Zhuang Xiaojin is the number one scholar, Liang Yicheng is the second place, and Li Fangzhou is the third.

Ye Qinghuai stared straight at these three names for a long time without blinking.

She felt like all the blood in her body was congealed.

The top three in Yijia are exactly the same as in the previous life.

Even the bright red shading has not changed, only the brushwork of the three columns of names has changed from a square face to a bony willow.

After all, the Minister of Rites who wrote the inscription has changed.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony was silent, and the ministers lowered their heads, like lifeless puppets.

Ye Qinghuai suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness.There seemed to be an invisible hand pressing her head in the air, trying to bend her straight spine and bow to fate.

She is like a person who is struggling in the mud, and the names on the roster in front of her are the winners standing on the shore, laughing silently at her, mocking her overpowering.

She put in so much effort, and everything seemed to be starting to go in the right direction.But the list in her hand brought everything back to the starting point.

Ye Qinghuai looked at these three names, his eyes were like a gust of wind passing by, igniting a raging fire.

The new Minister of Rites, Wen Xinzhong, was waiting at the bottom of the steps. Seeing Ye Qinghuai paused for a long time on the first page, he secretly raised his eyes to glance at the emperor on the throne. Unyielding ruthlessness like a newborn calf.

Wen Xin was startled, and quickly looked away.

Ye Qinghuai carefully read the entire list page by page until the last page.She even paid attention to Du Wenle's name, but his name was not listed. It seems that he failed to buy the title this time.

After closing the list of Chun Wei, Ye Qinghuai sorted out her mood, looked at the few people standing in front of the group of officials, and said with a smile: "Have all the elders read this list?"

No one responded to her.

Ye Qinghuai then called out his name: "Have you seen Mr. Chen Ge?"

"Return to Your Majesty, this list was drawn up by the Ministry of Rites. All five of us in the cabinet have read it and have no objection." Chen Yuansi still spoke so slowly.

"Okay. Have the official positions of Yijia and these three people been decided?"

"Not yet. According to regulations, all provinces and ministries are required to report vacancies first, and then the Ministry of Officials will make arrangements based on the grades of the Gongsheng students. Currently, only the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment have reported the default position to the Ministry of Officials."

"Where are the Gong students who passed the exam now?"

"Your Majesty, the first grade is waiting for orders in the official department, while the second and third grade Jinshi are scattered in various academies in central Beijing." Chen Yuansi replied.

"Li Baoquan, go to the Ministry of Officials to deliver the decree, so that the No. [-] scholar in the current department will still be Tanhua, and now come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to face the saint." Ye Qinghuai ordered.

Li Baoquan responded, and trotted out of the hall.

Some courtiers raised their heads and looked at the emperor on the throne.

Ye Qinghuai saw in their eyes the indifference and numbness that had nothing to do with them, as well as the anxiety and uneasiness in the eyes of a few people.

"Your Majesty, the Palace Examination was abolished during the reign of the late Emperor. Your Majesty does not necessarily have to meet the new Jinshi." Wen Xinzhong reminded him kindly.

"The first emperor abolished the palace examination because the dragon was not in good health. I am in my prime, so I have no such worries. I have no intention of resuming the palace examination. I just want to see what kind of talented people Jinke Chunwei has recruited for the court." Ye Qinghuai still maintained Calm tone.

Wen Xinzhong sneaked a glance at Gu Shihai who was behind him intentionally or unintentionally, as if asking for his opinion.

Ye Qinghuai followed his gaze to look at Gu Shihai, and asked, "Mr. Gu Ge, you also approved of this list. Tell me, what kind of officials did you get for the selection of scholars in Chunwei this time?" "

Gu Shihai looked cold, and replied: "The imperial court selects talents, and naturally they select those who can relieve the country's difficulties."

"Okay. Then I will see, what kind of person can be regarded as a person who can relieve the country's difficulties."

However, Li Baoquan went there for a long time.The officials are not far away, half an hour is enough to come and go.Li Baoquan went there for more than half an hour, but he was still nowhere to be seen.

Just when Ye Qinghuai was worried about something wrong with him in the official department, Li Baoquan finally brought him here.

Because the list was just released this morning, and the Jinshi's crown and uniform have not yet been awarded, the three of them are all wearing their own robes and going to the hall to have an audience.One of them was wearing a blue brocade jacket with his hair tied up, and the other two followed behind him.The three of them seemed to be good-looking talents and well-educated.

Walking up to the jade steps, the three of them reported their names one by one, kowtowed and said, "May Your Majesty have peace."

After the three of them performed the salute, Ye Qinghuai said, "Pingshen."

The three stood up.

"The top three in the first class of this subject are all young talents." Ye Qinghuai said.

All three of them seemed to be in their twenties, but they were suddenly brought into the hall, and they didn't know why. Some secretly glanced at Gu Shihai from the corner of their eyes, while others looked in Chen Yuansi's direction, as if hoping someone would say a few words for them.

The hall was a little embarrassed for a while, but Wen Xinzhong reacted quickly. He followed Ye Qinghuai's words and said, "I'm just a young boy, which is a sign of great prosperity like the sun rising in the east, and the future is boundless."

Ye Qinghuai glanced at Wen Xinzhong, and thought: This mouth can speak well, no wonder this person can make Chen Yuansi and Gu Shihai nod at the same time.

She turned her gaze back to the three of them, and said: "These are role models for scholars in the world. I am still at the age of studying, and I have some experience in reading on weekdays. I want to discuss with the three of you."

After finishing speaking, Ye Qinghuai asked several questions one after another, all of which were taught by Lu Yanchen when she was studying.

Among them are not only the laws and regulations of the great scene, but also the mathematics of latitude and longitude, and some of the literature, history and policy theory.These questions are not too difficult, nor too biased. Ye Qinghuai thinks that even ordinary Jinshi should be able to answer them fluently.

However, the three of them stumbled in their answers, only the number one scholar Lang Zhuang Xiaojin was quite remarkable in law and had some ideas.

Ye Qinghuai's face was already ugly and couldn't be more ugly.Chen Yuansi and Gu Shihai stood below with indifferent expressions, not knowing what they were thinking.Wen Xinzhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was sweating profusely on his forehead. While looking at Gu Shihai from time to time, he rubbed his hands anxiously at the three people's answers.

"I still have one last question I want to ask you." Although Ye Qinghuai's face was ugly, her voice was still calm, "How about the three family backgrounds? What did your ancestors do?"

Mentioning this, the three of them immediately became at ease with each other, and they exchanged answers fluently, and reported the merits and deeds of their ancestors like a treasure.

One father was a bachelor of Taiqing Pavilion, and his great-grandfather was once a minister of the transfer department.One father was a third-rank bodyguard in front of the imperial court, and his ancestors had once been granted the title of Marquis.A family has been officials for three generations, and uncles are all important officials in the court.

Ye Qinghuai's expression was gloomy, and he said: "Today, the performance of the top three players in the top three ranks in the first class is so right that I am enlightened. The three of you can go down and go back to the official department to wait for the arrangement."

When those three people heard Ye Qinghuai's words, they knelt down and bowed their heads to thank Ye Qinghuai as if they were relieved, and retreated.

As soon as they left, there was a small moment of silence in the hall, like the calm before the storm.

Ye Qinghuai looked at the list in front of her with a stern expression, and said in a deep voice, "This is the person who can relieve the country's difficulties. This is the pillar of our country." Then, she changed the subject and asked sharply, "A talented person who can't even memorize the Four Books and Five Classics? A talented person who doesn't even know how to learn a word?"

Ye Qinghuai grabbed the list before the case, and threw it down the jade steps.

She stood up, walked out from behind the desk, and walked down the steps with her hands behind her back.

She walked up to the ministers, looked at them and asked, "Is Zhu Qing planning to hand over the great power of the country to such a successor?"
