Chapter 202 Between Gains and Losses

Emperor Longping looked at Ye Xingyuan and loved him the more he looked at him. ~ Originally, he had a good first impression of this young man, and he was a real celebrity, and the romantic affairs of Ye Xingyuan made the emperor talk about them with relish.

Unexpectedly, this young man was loyal and righteous, and stood up at a critical moment. He really had a king and a father in his heart, which was even more valuable.

The emperor walked up to Ye Xingyuan and asked quietly, "Do you want to be an official?"

Eunuch An was so excited that Emperor Longping rarely spoke in such a gentle voice, even if he was not so polite to his son. This kid is just a juren, so why should he treat him so well? He just wants to be appointed as an official? He also has to take the initiative to ask about his wishes? This honor and favor are gone.

After this big drama, Ye Xingyuan was mentally prepared. The effect today was really nothing to say. I can only say that luck could not even stop the mountain. If no one deliberately did it, the performance of the Crow God would never be so powerful, and of course he would not have received such treatment from the emperor.

However, we still cannot be blinded by temporary success, and we still have to follow the established plan step by step. Ye Xingyuan said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Students are disciples of saints. If they are good at studying, they will be officials. Why don't they want to share the worries of the court and serve the people? They are just willing to take the right path of imperial examinations."

First, I said that of course I am willing to be an official. I would like to thank the emperor for his kindness. I am not a great scholar who wants to hide in the mountains and forests. This basic concept must be clear.

Second, I still have to show my attitude. Although I want to be an official, I have to go to the imperial examination and do not want to become an official as an juren.

This is a big difference. If you take the Juren as an official, even if the emperor is promoted to the extreme, no matter how high the starting point is, your future promotion will be greatly restricted. It is rare for Ye Xingyuan to achieve the right result of his favorite ministers along the way.

If you start as a Jinshi, you will have the advantage in all aspects of selection and promotion. In addition, with the emperor's support, you will not suffer any loss. Before entering the palace, Ye Xingyuan made this decision. Even if the emperor wants to be appointed as an official, he will refuse, let alone just ask so politely.

"This is also the right reason." Ye Xingyuan's hardships, Emperor Longping, of course, understood that although the emperor represented the destiny of heaven, civil and military officials controlled the secrets of heaven. The so-called water can carry a boat and can also overturn it. Many times he was unable to do whatever he wanted, but had to do things according to the established rules.

If you only give a low-ranking official position to a juren, of course, it can be decided by the emperor in one sentence, and the cabinet does not need to argue with the emperor for this. However, the future will not be easily approved by Emperor Longping. For the evaluation of promotion, one should look at political achievements and two to merits. Instead, the emperor's wishes have to be ranked last, which is helpless.

So Ye Xingyuan wanted to first get a Jinshi and then become an official. This was the clear idea. He did not get confused by the emperor's kindness. He was a talented person.

Emperor Longping smiled and said, "I heard that your poems are well-known and you are a province of Jieyuan. I believe that the articles are also good, but it is not easy to try. Are you sure?"

The culture and education in Dinghu Province are pretty good, but after all, they cannot be compared with the place where literary styles in Jiangnan are flourishing. The test is extremely difficult. Even if Jie Yuan is not guaranteed to be a Jinshi. Even if he does not fail, if he falls into the third grade and the Jinshi, it will be a bit of a disadvantage.

It turns out that I sealed the three major articles now, you have never read them, right? Ye Xingyuan muttered in his heart, I really don’t know where the article sealed into the capital was sent, but Emperor Longping was probably impatient with these eight-legged characters, and it was normal that he had not read them.

Judging from the reputation of this monarch being circulated in the outside world, he cannot be considered to be indulging in pleasure, or he has a wide range of hobbies and energy, but he is by no means a wise monarch in the traditional sense. Of course, the adults in the court are taboos for the respected ones. Although he is not polite in his advice, it is already considered as a false embellishment.

During the reign of Emperor Longping, he was very careless. In addition to the first three years of ascension, he often stopped the court and entrusted many important military and national affairs to the cabinet. He also selected beauties in the harem many times, and promoted the flower and stone sect in the south of the Yangtze River. The wind of offering auspiciousness in various places was everywhere. I heard that there were also absurd acts of white dragon fish suits.

The only thing worthy of praise is that they have always insisted on light taxes and low taxes. Unfortunately, this point has been almost completely covered up by various local taxes. The burden on the people is still extremely heavy, and no one will think of the emperor's goodness.

Due to the education of saints and the existence of the Tianji system, even if the emperor who represents the destiny does not care about political affairs, the court can still operate normally under the leadership of the cabinet. Perhaps it was because of seeing through this that Emperor Longping fully delegated power, and it can be regarded as a saint emperor ruled in a sense.

I heard that the emperor was not very enthusiastic about the imperial examination events. There were embarrassing incidents at the Qionglin banquets in the past few days. Although the articles sealing the capital were earth-shaking, it was natural for this emperor not to read them.

Ye Xingyuan thought for a while and replied, "How can the saints and heavenly secrets be solved by us ordinary people? The examination is a national ceremony. Students dare not speak nonsense, but do their best and will not let down Your Majesty's high expectations."

Emperor Longping clapped his hands and smiled, "Young people should have some ambitions. I think you are the top scholar in this way. But if you ask me to do something, you will win a tanhua."

Eunuch An listened to Emperor Longping's happiness today and became less and less speechless. He hurriedly wiped his cold sweat and stopped him, "Long live the words, if those adults from the outside court heard these words, I am afraid that they would write a letter to advise again."

Emperor Longping also knew that he had been teasing too much, but the boss was still unhappy and said annoyedly: "We ourselves are just jokes when talking behind closed doors. How can they take it seriously? The ranking of the imperial examinations is all in the secret of heaven, and I can't argue with it. Can't we still tell jokes?"

The main examination of the Imperial Examination should be the Grand Secretary of the dynasty. It has not been determined at this time, but even the examiner cannot decide the final ranking of the candidates. Of course, the emperor cannot interfere. Whether the candidates can get to this point or not, whether they have the ranking, is confirmed by the secret of heaven.

The emperor and the grand senator are nothing more than choosing talents on behalf of the gods. The so-called test list title is the emergence of heavenly secrets, and they are no longer written by ordinary people.

The impact of power and authority on the results of the examination has been compressed to the minimum possible system of rules set by the saints to ensure the most basic fairness. Unfortunately, there were too many loopholes in the previous two exams, so even if the last level can be overcorrected, it still cannot stop the social selection and form a gradually accumulated deviation.

Ye Xingyuan could only hide these words in his heart. He could hear Emperor Longping's unhappiness. As the emperor, he was in a hindrance everywhere. Even though he had mastered the destiny, he could not be free. This feeling should not be pleasant. Ye Xingyuan would at least not speak nonsense to his heart at this time.

I have to wait until in the future, Ye Xingyuan secretly recorded the emperor's attitude. In this world with strict heavenly secrets, only the destiny of heaven, that is, the power of the royal family. If Ye Xingyuan wants to make a difference, he cannot relax every detail.

After Emperor Longping complained, he frowned at Ye Xingyuan, turned around and asked Eunuch An, smilingly: "It's a bit difficult now. This kid doesn't want to be an official for the time being. I can't help him in the imperial examination. I can only look at his own abilities.

But he made great contributions today and always had to reward him. Eunuch An, you are well-informed and have been with me for a long time. What do you think you should reward this kid?"

Why did you suddenly ask me? Eunuch An's heart was even more shocked. Emperor Longping's daily small things are just a matter of prosperity and he doesn't care about other people's opinions at all. He often asked all the masters in the cabinet to cure the aftermath for him.

Today he asked Ye Xingyuan first, and then himself, which shows how Emperor Longping attached great importance to Ye Xingyuan. Long lively, you can easily misunderstand others like this!

Eunuch An saw that the faces of everyone around him had changed drastically, and his eyes looked at Ye Xingyuan with awe. He was afraid that after the incident today, the rumors about Ye Xingyuan's royal pearl would become more and more intense.

But this was difficult to explain and could not remind the emperor. Eunuch An could only grit his teeth and said, "Ye Xingyuan offered auspiciousness, and his achievements were not small, but this achievements were not exclusive to him. It was the power of Dinghu Province. If your Majesty wants to reward, he must first reward the officials of Dinghu Province, and Tang Shiyan, Zhu Ning'er and others.

However, today Ye Xingyuan has the merit of saving the lord and guarding. The two merits have been merged, so the old slave dare not speak out. However, according to the convention of the previous dynasty, there may be rewards for titles."

His first half of the words were reasonable. Emperor Longping nodded slightly, but Ye Xingyuan felt something was wrong. Could it be that the old eunuch meant to suppress his contribution? No, today the Crow God performed like this and the emperor was so satisfied. Even if he was blind, he knew that Ye Xingyuan would definitely not be able to suppress him today.

When Ye Xingyuan heard the second half of Eunuch An's words, he felt awe-inspiring in his heart, and even looked at the eunuch in disbelief, unable to guess whether he was good or bad.

How could the reward for titles be used for is easy?

The dynasty has extremely strict titles, and all the heroes have surrendered to hereditary. After three hundred years, most of the nobles who founded the country were not sure where they went. However, there was a change in the middle of the dynasty, leaving behind many nobles, and now it is also a power surging in the court.

These people are brave and fierce, and have the power of destiny to protect themselves. They often have gold medals for the alchemy book and iron vouchers at home. They are the most domineering in Beijing, and they are married to each other. They prosper and prosper and lose the same. They are not willing to provoke them, but in order to balance and stability of the court, they have to find ways to win them over.

After the nobles, the ones they hate the most are of course the upstarts. This is equivalent to getting a piece of the pie in their privileges. Who can be happy? They may have nothing to say about those who have won the title of military merits, but these people are not polite at all for the honor of honor.

The beating of favored ministers among the nobles has not happened in the capital. Emperor Longping has a good temper, but he just advised both parties to calm down.
