In the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace.

Whether it was Zhang Juzheng or Feng Bao, they were all dumbfounded.

Your Majesty and that Zhao Shouzheng, what the hell is going on?

Since His Majesty hates him, why should he give him the title? If His Majesty likes him, why is he gritting his teeth and taking a bite of karma?

What a contradictory and complicated state of mind......

After being stunned for a long time, Zhang Juzheng came back to his senses and said: "Your Majesty, the original champion ......"

"Oh, I see that he is too young, and he needs to change his old town luck." Emperor Longqing laughed and lied.

Although it is impossible to hide the matter of the champion, it is still quite embarrassing that the protégé of the Son of Heaven does not want to be the champion of the emperor's teacher for the sake of his teacher.

"That's right." Zhang Juzheng nodded and said in a low voice: "But if you change the ranking, it's better to give an explanation, so as not to guess wildly." ”

"What's the reason......" Emperor Longqing thought for a while, and then cut it to the ground:

"Because others just answer questions with a pen, but he has already answered my questions with actions!"

"In the tenth winter wax month, I ran and called for signs, raised funds to open a porridge field to help the homeless, and countless people were alive; More than 100,000 homeless people gathered to eat porridge, but he was able to arrange it in an orderly manner, and there was no commotion, and no one froze to death in the porridge field. This shrewdness and ability can't even be compared with those veterans who have been officials for more than ten years, and who in the same department can match it? ”

Seeing that the displaced people had nothing to do, he used a small coal root to drive tens of thousands of disaster victims to have a livelihood, so that the security outside Beijing immediately improved. and bailed out 50,000 taels of ...... for the internal treasury" Emperor Longqing was excited, pouted, and hurriedly sneered: "Don't relay the last sentence." ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded, indicating understanding.

What is even more commendable is that he did not take credit at all, and did so many things, but almost no one among the people was aware of his existence, and only praised the eldest princess as a living bodhisattva, and credited it to the royal family. Looking at its gentleness and love, revitalizing the poor and anxious, and retiring humbly, this is the first champion of the Longqing Dynasty, and the demeanor that should be there! ”

"Master Zhang, is the reason I gave hard?!" After Emperor Longqing finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Juzheng with blazing eyes.

"Hard."

What else can Zhang Juzheng say? Not to mention anything else, as far as the current court is poor, the household department can't give 50,000 taels to the emperor.

Is there anything harder than silver in this world?

As for giving silver to the emperor, does it count as bribery to the examiner? Don't delve into this......

When Zhang Juzheng was ordered to leave, Emperor Longqing breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Wang Wuyang, who was kneeling outside, to call in.

"I gave the champion to Zhao Shouzheng, are you satisfied now?"

"Ah, Your Majesty is wise!" When Wang Wuyang saw that the emperor was so kind, he immediately turned into a fart essence essence:

"Why didn't the grass people think of such a brilliant method? Let Master's father be the champion, so that there will be no problems. It can be seen that His Majesty's cave is gone, and the grass people can't catch up with it. ”

Feng Bao secretly rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said in his heart, isn't this the sycophant Dafa that our family can't learn?

"Hahaha......" Emperor Longqing has always been verbally violent by the officials, and he has never seen such a soft and lovely one, so he can't help laughing:

"Are you afraid that I will punish you, so you deliberately slapped my ass?"

"The grass people have sworn that they will ......be sincere to His Majesty," Wang Wuyang couldn't help but feel aggrieved.

"No matter what you say, you won't be able to escape this punishment." Long Qing sneered.

"The grass people know ......" Wang Wuyang couldn't help but hang his head, and said in his heart that it was better to be a master, and every time he provoked him, it would be good to pat him on the back.

"I will punish you to fill Zhao Shouzheng's original ranking." I heard Long Qing say lightly: "You are the twenty-second of the second class." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your magnanimity!"

Wang Wuyang couldn't help but be overjoyed, in fact, he came to this show today, and he had already prepared for the worst - he was directly disqualified by the emperor as a jinshi.

Although that is just the right time to study with the master every day, there is still an identity as a jinshi, so that the master can take a high look......

No way, although our teacher is snobbish, vindictive, and cautious?

Mandarin Palace.

Zhang Juzheng brought back Zhao Shouzheng's exam papers.

Seeing that the emperor crossed out the original 'second and twenty-second place' with a red pen, and then wrote a big 'first class first place' next to it, all the bigwigs were going to fry the pot.

Hearing Zhang Xianggong relay the emperor's words, the bigwigs could only smile bitterly.

Who made the questions look like they were made for someone?

Zhao Shouzheng has really solved the problem of displaced people in the capital, and the articles of others are written flowers, and they are pale and powerless in front of him, and they have no confidence to argue......

This alone can block the mouths of the people.

"Let's go to bed after filling it up......" Huo Ji sighed, and said in his heart that this thing of luck really can't be suppressed.

The bigwigs filled in the remaining twenty or thirty rankings in one go, and hurried to sleep together.

Zhang Juzheng took the freshly baked ranking and came to Xu Ge Lao's straight house.

At this time, Xu Jie had almost recovered, and was sitting on the bed eating a little gruel. Seeing Zhang Juzheng coming in, he beckoned him to sit down at the head of the bed.

"The rankings are out?" Xu Ge's old demeanor was as usual, but his eyes were a little dark, and his face was still pale, obviously the past twelve hours had really been tossed.

"Yes, Minister." Zhang Juzheng responded, and couldn't help but look at Xu Fan on the side in surprise.

According to the usual experience, the elder of the small pavilion with great magical powers should know the ranking as soon as possible.

Xu Fan's face was gloomy and he didn't speak, Xu Jiexian said lightly: "The old man didn't allow him to go, and the emperor said clearly, let my father and son stop for two days, can we still be interested?" ”

Xu Ge Lao said this politely, but the resentment in that tone couldn't be hidden.

"Hey, Your Majesty has gone too far this time," Zhang Ju......zheng sighed: "Taking advantage of the teacher's illness, come here and make a fool of yourself, which makes people feel depressed." ”

Xu Jie glanced at Zhang Juzheng, sighed for a while and said, "I should have listened to you yesterday, just don't eat that plate of perch." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Juzheng said with a shocked face: "What does the master mean, is there a problem with the four-gill perch sent by Meng Chong?" ”

Saying that, he pretended to think about it and said: "It's not like it, if it really has ulterior motives, how can he come up with that Shanglian, isn't he shooting himself in the foot?" ”

"The old man can't say it well." Xu Jie nodded, and because of this, he didn't dare to assert whether he was drugged or purely unlucky.

After all, it is difficult to understand the deceptive behavior of human beings when they are faced with meticulous ingenuity all day long......

"But the food in the palace, it's better to touch less in the future." Xu Jie said to his disciple with concern: "There is a kitchen in the straight house, you can come and eat in the future." ”

"Thank you." After Zhang Juzheng thanked him with gratitude on his face, he roughly told the ranking of the palace examination to the teacher.

Xu Fan heard that the top five were all occupied by the Science Gate, and the second one also had twenty-two in the second grade, and the dozen or so old iron he was going to start actually slipped to the top three, so he was naturally furious.

"Haha, what a joke! actually mentioned Sun Shan to the champion, I really don't want to lose my face! He just waited for the boiling sky, out of control! ”

"Yes, we pressed and pressed, I wanted to take it low, but who knew that His Majesty still picked out his volume, deliberately crossed out the original ranking, and re-marked the first place in the first class."

Zhang Juzheng sighed with the enemy: "The master is not present, so I can only let Your Majesty go his own way......"

"Hmph, do you really think you'll be able to sit back and relax if you win the champion?" Xu Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Wrong, this has just entered our hunting ground!" ”
