    In the Dongnuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.

    Both Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao were stunned.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on with Your Majesty and that Zhao Shouzheng?

    Since Your Majesty hates him, why do you want to give him the top prize?  If your majesty likes him, why do you grit your teeth and talk about his karma?

    What a contradictory and complicated mentality this is

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

    "Oh, I think he is too young, so I need to replace him with an experienced one to control his luck." Emperor Longqing smiled and lied.

    Although it is almost impossible to hide the fact that the number one scholar is the number one scholar, it is still quite embarrassing for the disciples of the emperor not to be the number one scholar of the emperor's teacher for the sake of his own teacher.

    "That's right." Zhang Juzheng nodded and whispered: "But if you want to change the ranking, it's best to give an explanation to avoid random guesses."

    "What's the reason" Emperor Longqing thought for a moment and said decisively:

    "Because others only use pens to answer questions, but he has already answered my questions with actions!"

    "In the twelfth lunar month of winter, he ran around raising funds to open a porridge restaurant to help the refugees, and there were countless people alive. Hundreds of thousands of refugees gathered to eat porridge, but he was able to arrange it in an orderly manner. There was no riot, nor did he die of cold or illness in the porridge restaurant.  More than one person. This shrewdness and ability cannot even be compared to those who have been officials for more than ten years. Who among the Jinshi in the same field can compare with him?"

    "Seeing that the refugees had nothing to do, he used a small coal lotus root to help tens of thousands of victims have a livelihood, which immediately improved the security outside Beijing. He also provided relief of 50,000 taels of internal funds" Emperor Longqing became excited and said that he was bald.  Mouth, sneered quickly and said: "Don't paraphrase the last sentence."

    Zhang Juzheng nodded to express his understanding.

    "What's even more commendable is that he doesn't take any credit at all. He has done so many things, but almost no one is aware of his existence. They only praise the eldest princess as a living Bodhisattva and put all the credit on the head of the royal family. Judging from his gentleness,  Universal love, uplifting the poor and anxious, humble and unyielding, this is the demeanor that the number one scholar in the Longqing Dynasty should have!"

    "Master Zhang, are the reasons I gave you strong?" After Emperor Longqing finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Juzheng with bright eyes.

    "hard."

    What else can Zhang Juzheng say?  Not to mention anything else, with the current state of poverty in the imperial court, even the Ministry of Household Affairs could not afford 50,000 taels to the emperor.

    Is there anything harder than silver in this world?

    As for giving money to the emperor, does it count as bribing the examiner?  Let¡¯s not delve deeper into this¡­

    ??~~

    When Zhang Juzheng left according to the order, Emperor Longqing breathed a sigh of relief and asked someone to call in Wang Wuyang who was kneeling outside.

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

    "Ah, your Majesty is so wise!" Wang Wuyang saw that the emperor was so kind, and immediately turned into a fart spirit and said:

    "Why didn't the ordinary people think of such a wonderful way? Let the master's father be the number one scholar, so there would be no problems. It can be seen that His Majesty knows everything, and the ordinary people cannot take precautions."

    Feng Bao secretly rolled his eyes when he heard this, thinking to himself, isn¡¯t this just a trick of flattery that our family can never learn?

    "Hahaha" Emperor Longqing has always been verbally abused by officials. He has never seen such a charming and charming one. He couldn't help laughing and said:

    "You are afraid that I will punish you, so you deliberately flatter me, right?"

    "The common people have sworn to be sincere to His Majesty" Wang Wuyang couldn't help but feel aggrieved.

    "No matter what you say, you can't escape this punishment." Long Qing sneered.

    "The common people know" Wang Wuyang couldn't help but feel downcast, thinking that it was better for him to be his master, as long as he flattered him every time he offended him.

    "I will punish you to fill Zhao Shouzheng's original ranking." Then Long Qing said calmly: "You will be the top twenty-two."

    "I thank your Majesty for your generosity!"

    Wang Wuyang couldn't help but be overjoyed. In fact, when he came here today, he had already prepared for the worst - being directly disqualified from being a Jinshi by the emperor.

    Although that would allow me to study with the master every day, I still have the status of a Jinshi so that the master can take a high look

    There is no way, even though our teacher is snobbish, vindictive, and petty?

    ??~~

    Wenhua Hall.

    Zhang Juzheng brought back Zhao Shouzheng¡¯s examination papers.

    "Seeing the emperor above use a red pen to cross out the original 'second, twenty-second,' and then write a big 'first, first, first' next to it, all the bosses were going to explode.

    "You can hear Xianggong Zhang relaying the emperor's words, the big guys?It¡¯s just a forced smile.

    Who makes this test question feel like it is tailor-made for you?

    Zhao Shouzheng has actually solved the problem of refugees in the capital. The articles written by others are just flowery, but they are feeble in front of him, and he has no confidence to argue

    Only this can block the mouth of Yoyo.

    "After you finish filling it out, go to bed quickly" Huo Ji sighed, thinking that luck can't be suppressed.

    The big guys filled in the remaining 20 or 30 places at once, and then hurriedly went to bed together.

    However, Zhang Juzheng came to Mr. Xu Ge¡¯s Zhilu with his fresh ranking.

    By now Xu Jie had almost recovered and was sitting on the bed eating some gruel.  Seeing Zhang Juzheng come in, he asked him to sit down on the bedside.

    "The rankings are out?" Mr. Xu Ge looked as usual, but his eye circles were a little dark and his face was still pale. It was obvious that the past twelve hours had been really hard.

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

    ??According to usual experience, the powerful Xiao Ge Lao should know the ranking immediately.

    Xu Fan had a gloomy face but had not spoken yet. Xu Jiexian said calmly: "I forbid him to go. The emperor has made it clear that he has asked my father and son to stay alone for two days. How can we still be ignorant?"

    Mr. Xu Ge said this politely, but he couldn't hide the resentment in his tone.

    "Hey, your Majesty has gone too far this time" Zhang Juzheng sighed and said, "While the master is ill, he comes here to do whatever he wants, which makes people feel depressed."

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

    "Ah?" Zhang Juzheng said with a shocked look on his face: "What the teacher means is, is there anything wrong with the four-gill bass sent by Meng Chong?"

    As he said that, he pretended to think for a while and said: "It doesn't look like it. If he really had ulterior motives, why did he publish that first couplet? Isn't he just shooting himself in the foot?"

    "I can't tell." Xu Jie nodded. Because of this, he didn't dare to say whether he was drugged or just unlucky.

    After all, the dignified chief minister is faced with thoughtful and clever people all day long, and it is already difficult to understand the confusing behavior of human beings

    "It's just food and drinks in the palace. It's better not to touch them in the future." Xu Jie said to his disciples with concern: "There is a kitchen in Zhilu. You can come and eat from now on."

    "Thank you, Prime Minister." Zhang Juzheng thanked him with a grateful face, and then roughly told the Prime Minister about his ranking in the palace examination.

    Xu Fan heard that the top five were all occupied by science departments, and the lowest one had twenty-two people in the second and second place, and the dozen or so veterans he was planning to recruit actually fell to the third and third place, so he was naturally furious.

    "Haha, it's really the most ridiculous thing in the world! He actually mentioned Sun Shan as the number one scholar. It's really shameless! He's just waiting for it to boil over and get out of hand!"

    "Yes, we pressed again and again. We wanted to take it at a low price, but His Majesty still picked out his paper, deliberately crossed out the original ranking, and re-marked the first one with his own hand."

    Zhang Juzheng sighed with the same hatred as the enemy: "The Prime Minister is not here, so I can only let His Majesty do whatever he wants"

    "Humph, do you really think that you can sit back and relax if you win the top prize?" Xu Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Wrong, you have just entered our hunting ground!"
