Pseudo-politicians and real-tech nerds get promoted

Feeling the majesty of the emperor at close range, Chu Yue was stunned.

Blocking people directly after the palace test is something that has never happened in all dynasties, but he happened to meet him.You must know that there are many people who are stronger than him in the palace examination.Chu Yue didn't think that the emperor must be complimenting him when he saw him.

But what Chu Yue thought this time was really wrong.

The emperor let him come just to praise him.After Yuan Jirui's praise and Chu Yue's excellent answers to the test paper, the emperor didn't even know how many layers of filters he had added, except for soft light.

"It's really rare for you to have this kind of insight at such a young age. General Chu has fought for many years, and it's amazing to be able to educate such a promising grandson like you." In fact, what the emperor wanted to say was not only great, but also Wonderful.

Isn't it strange that a family who joined the army can teach a man of culture.

Chu Yue only took it as a compliment, and replied respectfully: "Grandfather often warned Cao Min that he should serve Dahui in his life, but Cao Min is not slack, and the road to joining the army is not feasible, so we can only find him elsewhere." Lu, today is all thanks to the emperor's kindness."

The words were beautiful, and Chu Yue had no doubts about why the emperor knew about his family, so Chu Yue flattered the emperor while explaining that all his family joined the army and he was in politics.

But judging from the emperor's expression, this flattery was pretty good.

The smiling emperor with a long beard looked kindly now, and asked, "Do you have writing?"

"Grandpa said that the grass people are still young, so they haven't taken the characters yet." Chu Yue replied.

"Since you've come here, it's inconvenient if you don't have a word on the court. How about I give Er Yunqing the word?"

If the emperor's words were heard, not to mention completely ruined the Three Views, it would be shocking.

This is already clearly telling Chu Yao that your name must be on the imperial list, and I am very optimistic about you.

Chu Yao was treated so favorably, even if he was thinking about it, he couldn't figure out why. Although their Chu family was prominent, the emperor didn't have to treat the Chu family so obviously because of his grandfather's leisure.

Thinking about this matter in his mind, Chu Key did not slow down on his knees to thank him.After the emperor spoke a few words of encouragement to him, Chu Key was sent to the gate of the main hall by the eunuch next to the emperor himself.

"Father-in-law stay for a while, the emperor still needs to take care of him. Thank you, Yao, for seeing him off." Chu Yao cupped his hands and thanked Ning Zhao.

Liu Zhao smiled kindly: "Master Chu, what are you talking about? It's an honor for our family to send you off, but His Majesty really needs someone, so we will send you here."

At this moment, Liu Zhao looked at Chu Key as if he were looking at a piece of jade in the rough.However, he didn't seem particularly enthusiastic. After all, Chu Yao still had a long way to go, and how much he could achieve would depend on his personal fortune.

"Farewell."

Then, Chu Key went home.

Then he told his grandfather about it.

Later, Chu Yi was a little confused.The Chu family is prominent, but that was before. Now I am honestly staying in the Duke's Mansion, my son stays in the frontier all year, the eldest grandson has also paid for it, and the second grandson keeps a low profile all day long.

But the emperor's attitude was not like a warning, but rather like a sincere appreciation.Thinking of this, Chu Yi took another careful look at his precious grandson...

She is good-looking, and her talent is top-notch...but she won't let the emperor lose his composure.Chu Yi stroked his own mustache, puzzled.

In the end, he still gave Chu Key an answer: "The emperor is free to think about him, and my grandson will keep it in mind in the future. There is nothing wrong with being cautious."

"Grandson remembers."

Then Chu Key was sent to rest. There was only such a big baby in the house, so the body must be the first priority!

Release day

The civil and military officials stood as usual, playing music and setting off firecrackers, such as Chu Yao and other tributes, who had already been waiting in the lower hall.

An official from the Ministry of Rites walked to the high platform in front of the tributes with a yellow scroll in his hand, and sang: "There is a system!"

"Today, we plan to test the tribute scholars in the world. The first family will be awarded Jinshi and rank, the second best will be awarded Jinshi background, and the third family will be awarded the same Jinshi background."

"The first one is Chu Yao, and he is promoted to the editor of the Imperial Academy, and the first one is Meng Fu..." Since Chu Yao heard that he was the first one, he can no longer hear any voice.He knew that his noun would not be late, but he never thought that he would be No.1, the champion!

He was number one in both the township examination and general examination, and now he is number one in the palace examination.

Chu Key thought, he seemed to have done something extraordinary.

The period from the roll call to the end of the ceremony was enough for Chu Yao to sort out his mood. Although he was surprised that he could become the number one scholar in the current imperial examination, it had already become a fact.

From bewildered surprise to calm, Chu Yao perfectly adjusted in the shortest time.

"kneel!"

With a loud shout, hundreds of candidates knelt down in unison to salute.Among them, there may be those who are satisfied and their dreams come true, or there may be those who are too low in ranking and have no hope of becoming an official in the court.But individuals have their own fortunes, and these are no longer Chu Yao's business.

After the big ceremony, the freshly baked future pillars of the country were arranged to leave the stage, while Chu Yao enjoyed VIP-level treatment.

The officials of Shuntian Prefecture sent him back to the mansion with an umbrella cover, and after three days, he went on a horse ride with No. [-] and Tanhua.

Facing the envious and jealous eyes of his future colleagues, Chu Yao felt a little sad.

This is the champion, how can I mess around in the future~

The front of the Duke's Mansion was already full of people, the old Duke had a smile on his face, showing off all over his body that he wanted to make people fat.

As soon as someone walked away from the old Duke, another old man who was over half a hundred years old walked over, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Brother Chu, what more can I ask for this virtuous grandson!"

Chu Yi also cheerfully cupped his hands in return: "Thank you Brother Song, that kid Yao'er is just a little clever, it's not worth mentioning, haha."

Song Kuang: "..." Hehe, it's not worth mentioning that he won the first prize, so if he mentions it, wouldn't he be directly in the cabinet?

Chu Yi definitely doesn't know about other people's slander, he just feels one word right now, cool!

Hey!His precious grandson is so proud of him!

After Chu Yi decided to wait for his grandson to come back and have a good drink with him, he happily responded to another person's congratulations.

The imperial examination, as a major event of national concern, has always been known to everyone with a little bit of news, not to mention the trivial matter of the name of the newly released No. [-] scholar.

So when Chu Key was sent home, even the gate of his own house was blocked and he couldn't see it.

Just when Chu Key was thinking about how to get in, someone said: "Master Zhuangyuan is back!"

Then the crowd made way for him like Moses divided the sea.

Chu Key: "..."

"The No. [-] Scholar is truly a talent!"

"The No. [-] Scholar is really a Wenqu star descending to the world, and he is so talented!"

"The No. [-] Scholar..."

At this time, regardless of whether it was the young master of the family or the people watching, they all unabashedly exuded kindness towards Chu Yao.I just said directly, boy, I am optimistic about you.

Although Chu Key was a little confused, he still thanked the person who congratulated him.Walking to the gate of the Duke's Mansion, someone had already given out silver coins to those who came back with Chu Key.

There are two groups of people who come to the Duke’s Mansion to join in the fun. The first wave is ordinary people. If you see the number one scholar, you will go to the Huangbang to join in the fun again. If you are qualified, you will go to the Duke’s Mansion as guests, and wait for Chu Key to send all the guests away with his grandfather. By that time, it was already dusk.

Chu Yi was sipping tea, stroking his beard with his hand. Chu Yao sat beside him, looking like a quiet and handsome man.

Chu Yi suddenly put down the teacup in his hand, laughed loudly, walked to Chu Yao's side in three or two steps, and slapped the back of this pampered grandson who didn't even say a word.

"What a boy! I've done my grandfather a favor! I never imagined that my Chu family has been in the army for generations, and now I can still come out with a three-yuan champion!"

This really embarrasses him, Chu Yi can still think of the scene of walking in front of those old guys in the future.Oh, it's really not good, it's just a little bit of fun when I get old.

Chu Key was taken aback when he was photographed, and then he grabbed his grandfather's hand with a wry smile: "Grandpa, many of the candidates who went to the hall with me this year are better than my grandson, but in the end the emperor chose my grandson as the number one scholar, and my grandson didn't care about it." untie."

Chu Yi touched his beard again when he heard the words, and said: "Since it is a foregone conclusion, don't think about it anymore. The emperor has already recognized that you are the best, so no one else can criticize you. As for how to get along with the same court in the future, you have to decide." It's up to you."

Chu Key thought for a while, and felt that what his grandfather said was nonsense.Although there is truth, he still has to face it himself in the future.

Then Chu Key left, feeling helpless and tired.

However, Chu Yao, who said goodbye due to physical fatigue, did not go to sleep.He struggled for a long time, but still couldn't hold back his hand, and wrote a letter to Yuan Jirui who was enjoying the wind in the northwest.

"Small gathering in the capital, my elder brother left in a hurry. Now that my younger brother is lucky enough to be admitted to the imperial examination, I dared to write to my elder brother. I just learned from my conversation with my grandfather yesterday that the northwest is still severely cold. I wonder if my elder brother is safe?"

"Although I don't know why my brother was in such a hurry that day, but I look forward to meeting you next time."

Thinking about it, Chu Key added the last sentence to himself.It doesn't look so "resentful woman".

A letter was handed over to the porter, and Chu Yao also reminded him not to rush.

The porter took it with trepidation, thinking that he had also been in contact with the number one scholar, so he naturally did his best to do what Chu Yao had told him.So after half a month, Yuan Jirui received the letter.

After reading each word, Yuan Jirui smiled slightly.

It was unexpected and reasonable for Chu Yao to be at the top of the list. Thinking carefully about Chu Yao's conversations, words and deeds when interacting with him, they were all top-notch.No matter who sees it, they will be able to boast of a humble gentleman, the jade tree of the Chu family.

Although this gentleman is a bit young.

As Dahui's first ternary and No. [-] scholar, Yuan Jirui could think of the feelings of those officials who were expecting daughters in their boudoirs. Unfortunately, Chu Key should not be able to catch the son-in-law under the list.In terms of status, there are not many noble women in the capital who can compare to Chu Yao, thanks.

Yes, fortunately.Yuan Jirui suppressed the sudden sourness in his heart.

Obviously decided to let go and give the other party a bright future, but once some thoughts arise, it's like a fire that can start a prairie fire, and it can't be suppressed anymore.
