Han Jian comforted Yang Rui for a while, but after a while, there was already a slight sound of footsteps approaching the door. But it was the little eunuch who came in and asked Gu Weipan to arrive.

"Please come in." Yang Ruidao.

"Yes."

The little eunuch turned around and went out, Yang Rui returned to his seat and sat down, and Han Jian also found a chair to sit down. Gu Weipan came in to salute and greet him.

"Master, I came to you to discuss something, please take a seat." Yang Rui said politely.

Gu Weipan glanced at Han Jian and sat down on the chair next to Han Jian, after all, he was not like Han Jian who was at home in the palace, and he was not too used to sitting in front of the emperor after all.

"I don't know what Your Majesty has to discuss with the old minister." Gu Wei Pan said.

Yang Rui nodded, but stood up, which made Gu Weipan have to stand up immediately, but Yang Rui pressed his hand, which meant that Gu Weipan didn't have to be so formal. However, Gu Weipan finally understands the etiquette of the court, and now that the emperor is not sitting, how can he sit down?

Han Jian sat on the side with a comfortable look, but he didn't know about these red tapes.

"This year is the triennial big examination, and I want to select some talents from it for the use of the imperial court." Yang Rui said openly.

Gu Weipan nodded at this time, and probably understood what Yang Rui meant.

Now that the talents of the imperial court are withering, some of the old ones are either involved in the previous Yang Yu rebellion and were dismissed, or they are unwilling to serve the imperial court anymore because of their own identity, and the young ones are even more suppressed.

"The old minister understands." Gu Weipan saluted.

Yang Rui sighed and said: "Now I have too few people to trust in the imperial court, and after thinking about it, I didn't think of the best candidate for the main exam, but it was Gu Taishi's high morality, and he was an important minister, and he was a matter of selecting talents." It will be handed over to Master Gu to do. ”

"The old minister obeys." Gu Weipan saluted respectfully, as if he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Han Jian sat on the side and didn't speak, but he still had some thoughts in his heart.

The selection of talents through the imperial examination is also a tradition of the imperial court, and he can't interfere casually, but Yang Rui said that the selection of talents is nothing more than wanting to have more manpower to revitalize the imperial court. The rise of the imperial court must be the fall of the East Prince's Mansion, and he still understands the truth of eliminating the other. The reason why Yang Rui came to Gu Weipan in front of him to talk about this matter was actually to sue him, the selection of talents was just a routine matter and had no other meaning for him, but there was really no other meaning?

In the past scientific examinations, most of the people who were sent by the imperial court were squires or bachelors in the East Pavilion, but this time, Gu Weipan, who was the first and auxiliary minister, came out to take the main examination, which had a different meaning. It's like suing the world. She Yang Rui attaches great importance to this scientific expedition, and anyone who is selected can be reused. This is obviously also aimed at the East Prince's Mansion.

"It is very rare for Master Gu to perceive my heart. Master Gu went back to present the big exam in detail, and the date was set earlier and sent to the state capitals, so that the local students could be prepared. ”

"Yes."

Gu Weipan took the order and left, and when the people left, Yang Rui sat down again. His eyes were looking at Han Jian.

Yang Rui said: "But you feel unhappy? ”

"The imperial court has selected the candidates, how can I be unhappy?" Han Jian smiled.

Yang Rui sighed. But he didn't say anything, and said, "It's best not to get in the way." ”

Han Jian was very unhappy when he heard this, how could he not get in the way, could it be that the imperial court wanted to conduct a scientific examination, and what means did he have to play behind his back?

Without much time in the palace, Han Jian returned to the East Palace. When he arrived at the main hall, Han Song hurriedly came, but he was holding a list in his hand.

"Erniang, but is there something wrong?" Before Han Jian could catch his breath, Han Songshi came to talk to him about something, which made him feel like he was so busy that he couldn't breathe.

"This is the filial piety and ability recommended by the local government. You see, if it is combined, it is better to stay in the Dongwang Mansion as an official. Han Song directly handed over the list to Han Jian.

Only then did Han Jian know why Yang Rui wanted to say that he should not make a hindrance, it turned out that it was not him who was in the way, but Han Song's family. Maybe Yang Rui had already known that Han Song's clan had already greeted the local government behind his back, and asked the local government to recommend some talented people for the use of the Eastern Palace.

"I don't object to Erniang wanting to use the talents of Jiangdu, but why are the talents of other county governments also on this?" Han Jian couldn't help but question after reading the list.

"Talent is still divided into regions? Since he has the ability, he is a usable talent, and now that the court is in turmoil, if the Dongwang Mansion cannot stabilize the overall situation, then what should the people of the world do? ”

Han Song's family took out the people of the world to suppress Han Jian, and also made Han Jian feel her determination to go against Yang Rui.

"I don't mention it." Han Jian put down the list and said, "Now the Dongwang Mansion can just do its own thing, and even I, I can't take it lightly." And the two mothers and the other women's Taoist families, if they interfere too much, they are afraid that they will attract criticism, and they will be even more serious about the court and the East Wangfu. Erniang, this is not helping me. ”

"But I won't hurt you! Helping you choose talents, what's wrong with that? ”

Han Song seemed to be very angry, and walked away directly. Han Jian looked at Han Song's back a little stunned.

In the past, when he was in Jiangdu, Han Song's family was Yang Rui's loyal minister, maybe he was too radical, but now the power of the Eastern Wangfu is different from the past, which also makes Han Song's mentality change, and now it has reached the point where it is incompatible with Yang Rui.

Now that Han Song does not have Han Zhao and Han Cui by his side to help, it is indeed a little lonely, but after all, Han Song has a lot of support from old ministers in the East Wangfu system, and in the eyes of these old ministers, although he, the East King, is powerful and powerful, he is too "young and vigorous" after all, and they support the old and stable Han Song Clan. Everything, it seems that they also want to report to Han Song's family.

When Han Jian entered the inner courtyard, he learned that Lin Xiaoshu had already gone to the quartermaster station to dispatch money and food, and there were too many things that needed to be dispatched when the army went out, even if Lin Xiaoshu was a new wife, she was still very conscientious to do her own thing. Han Jian had no choice but to go to see the other women first, he and Lin Xiaoshu were newly married Yan'er, but they snubbed the other jade people in the mansion, and he was a little reluctant to go after all.

When he arrived at Yang Li'er, Yang Li'er, who was still taking care of the child, noticed the unhappiness in Han Jian's eyes at a glance.

"What's wrong with the father-in-law, but if something doesn't go well, you might as well talk about listening to the concubine?" Yang Li'er has a happy face, she is also the happiest person in the house, even if she doesn't have Han Jian by her side, she also has children by her side.

"It's okay, what can it do?" Han Jian smiled reluctantly.

"Xianggong still has to pretend in front of the concubine? It's not that she quarreled with her sister, or that Erniang gave her husband another problem. also said that the husband was hesitant to do things, and he wanted the concubine to come up with an idea? (To be continued......)
