Chapter 526 Qionglin Banquet
!
Yan Liqun came at about ten o'clock in the morning. At this time, Wang Kang had not gotten up yet, but he was actually already awake.
It just makes me tired of dragging Li Qingman around.
I didn’t order this greasy taste anymore.
"Okay, okay,"
Li Qingman couldn't bear it anymore and begged for mercy.
"Do you accept it or not?"
"I'm convinced,"
"Ha ha,"
Wang Kang laughed proudly. This was really the first time for a big girl to get on a sedan chair. It was quite difficult.
Li Qingman has practiced martial arts since he was a child. He has strong martial arts skills and excellent physical fitness. Wang Kang has always been defeated first, but after these few days of hard fighting, he finally won a big victory.
The two of them enjoyed the aftermath of the incident. Li Qingman rolled his eyes at Wang Kang and said coquettishly: "I'll make you so proud."
"That is,"
"Okay, it's time to get up. I've already hit three strokes a day and I haven't even practiced martial arts in the morning."
Li Qingman is a martial arts practitioner and gets up every morning to practice martial arts.
"Haven't you already learned Master Yinyue's martial arts? I also told him about his flaws and rested for a while."
Wang Kang made a hunch and said: "I am sleepy in spring and tired in autumn!"
"Bang,"
At this time, the door was pushed open and Lin Yuyan walked in. Seeing the chaos on the bed, she was speechless and said, "When did this happen? You..."
Li Qingman also felt embarrassed,
Get up hurriedly.
"Why are you so anxious?" Wang Kang hugged Li Qingman, looking like a playboy.
"Hurry up, Master Yan is here,"
"Master Yan, which Master Yan,"
"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites, let's have a banquet."
"Hey, why did he come?"
Wang Kang was also busy getting up, and he was even more confused. He didn't care about the marking after the provincial examination, but some controversial papers would still be transcribed for him to make a final decision.
It is obvious that he has established his prestige by presiding over the imperial examination this time.
With true ability, he has been recognized by others...
After washing and tidying up, Wang Kang went to the living room.
"Oh, Master Yan, I'm sorry, I got up late. I got up late, what a sign of neglect,"
Wang Kang rushed over to welcome him. He still respected the Minister of Rites very much.
"Are you up late?"
Yan Liqun shook his head helplessly, it was already time, the morning court had ended long ago, and this person is getting up.
He is indeed a young master from a rich family.
Thoughts flashed by, Yan Liqun said: "You don't care about anything, you don't even pay attention to the results."
"Isn't it your lords?"
Wang Kang said with a smile: "Will there be any gains from this imperial examination?"
“Great harvest!”
Yan Liqun knew what Wang Kang was talking about. Although the new provincial examination questions had been greatly changed, the subjects were more biased and more difficult.
But he is still an outstanding person.
Some people have strong overall qualities, while others have good understanding of the law, logical thinking ability, judgment of cases, and good understanding and application of the law.
Such people can be directly selected into the Ministry of Punishment.
The Minister of Punishment has already made reservations.
Also, the subject of Mingshu is outstanding, so he is a suitable official of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Of course, the biggest gain is policy analysis!
The policy topic that Wang Kang proposed at that time was an open-type question, so you could come up with your own questions and your own ideas!
There are more than 5,000 candidates taking the provincial examination. Even if there are similar topics, there are many, involving people's livelihood, water conservancy, urban construction, war, enemy countries...
There are different aspects, different opinions and different strategies!
These have a great reference effect on the development of the imperial court and are of great significance!
After hearing what Yan Liqun said, Wang Kang also smiled knowingly. This was also the purpose of his original question.
Just because he doesn't pay attention doesn't mean he knows nothing.
He has read the transcripts of the policy papers written by the candidates who were admitted to the official positions, and also evaluated them.
Many of them are brilliant and are good strategies for governing the country!
In this provincial examination, I got a total of 732nd place, which is much higher than in previous years.
This also gave many candidates a big surprise.
The ratio is of course still very low, but it is already very good compared to previous years. This is also Wang Kang's proposal.
Select the best for employment.
Those who are particularly outstanding in a certain subject may be specially admitted.
The two chatted for a few more words, and Wang Kang said again: "Where is the maid, come and serve tea quickly."
With this shout, a beautiful maid walked into the hall, walking lightly. This maid was none other than Xie Wanying. She did not feel any discomfort at all while doing such a thing.
After putting it down, he stood obediently behind Wang Kang,
Wang Kang then asked: "I wonder if you, Mr. Yan, have come to the house in person to do something important?"
"I'm here to invite you to a banquet,"
"Going to a banquet? What banquet?"
Yan Liqun stroked his beard and said, "Of course it's Qiong Lin Yan!"
"Qionglin Banquet?"
Wang Kang understood instantly. Now that the provincial examination is over, the palace examination is also over, and the top three have been selected!
The top three are awarded the title of Jinshi, commonly known as the number one scholar, the second person, and the third flower.
Erjia was given a Jinshi background, and the first one was generally called Chuanlu.
Sanjia was born with Jinshi.
In fact, to put it bluntly, candidates are divided into three grades according to their scores.
After the palace examination, the emperor announced the ceremony of passing the imperial examination and gave a banquet in Qionglin Garden, so it was called Qionglin Banquet.
After understanding, Wang Kang said: "I don't need to go. Those candidates will hate me to death when they see me."
"Haha, you know it too,"
Yan Liqun smiled and said solemnly: "But inviting you to the Qionglin Banquet is not just my intention, it is also the intention of most of the candidates."
"What?"
"I also find it incredible, but it's true,"
Yan Liqun said again: "The imperial examination is over, and the test questions we set have been announced, which has attracted a lot of attention. It can be regarded as a mixed blessing, but many candidates have changed their opinion of you a lot."
"They all believe that you gave them a fair and just imperial examination..."
Yan Liqun raised his eyebrows, "As the chief official of the imperial examination, you should go to the Qionglin Banquet because of your emotions and reasons. Besides, I came to invite you in person, so you won't deny me face, right?"
"Where is the word?"
Yan Liqun had already said this, so how could he refuse? He smiled and said, "I will definitely go there tonight."
"Then it's settled,"
Yan Liqun stood up and said, "I'll leave first."
"Sit down for a while, why are you so anxious?"
"Do you think everyone is like you? There are many officials in Kyoto, big and small, but there are only one like you. They treat the yamen as an inn."
Yan Liqun said again: "I will give you two more days off, and then you will go to work in the host and guest department."
Then Wang Kang sent him out of the house, and soon Qing Erniang came to report.
"Young Master, you have been asking me to keep an eye on the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion. There seems to be something strange. Several key members have not been seen for several days."
Wang Kang asked again: "Where is Shen Yuanchong?"
"The last time I was seen was two days ago. I haven't seen him since. I haven't found out the details yet. After all, it's hard to find out about the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion..."
"Where's that one? What happened?"
“Still normal,”
"Forget it, don't worry about the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion. This is Emperor Zhao's business."
Wang Kang arranged: "As for that one, keep watching, but be careful."
"yes……"
