Yang He took the lead." I recommend Li Sancai, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. He is a Jinshi and has served as the head of the Ministry of Revenue, the governor of Qucheng, and the Henan Senate. His performance has been good over the years and can be selected.”
Li Sancai, a member of the Donglin Party, could be considered the second most important person. As for Shen Shixing, the right-hand assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, he was from Jiangsu, not Donglin Party, so Yang He directly ignored him.
After that, the various parties naturally stepped forward and recommended their candidates.
Yan Hao frowned. These factions were too ridiculous. He looked at Jiajia and saw that her expression was calm as if nothing had happened. However, when Yan Hao cast a mind reading spell on her, Jiajia thought, These ministers all want to form cliques for personal gain. How can I let them have their way?
Yan Hao smiled. It seemed that Jiajia was prepared.
The requirements to be the chief examiner were relatively high. Not only must one be a Jinshi, but one must also have a position above the third rank. Moreover, one must be 'respected' and have qualifications. Therefore, there were not many who met the requirements.
Very soon, the various parties and six ministries had all chosen their preferred candidates. Shen Shixing was not there. Shen Shixing was good enough in all aspects, but no one gave him a push.
Yan Hao wanted to push him, but when he saw that all the people present were from different factions, he smiled and knew what to do. Since they were all from the same party, Jiajia would definitely not be satisfied. She would definitely choose a non-party person. At that time, Shen Shixing would definitely be on the list. At that time, he would just have to push him.
After discussing for almost an hour, the list of nominees for the head examiner was temporarily confirmed.
However, Jiajia Emperor decided to suppress these people for the time being. They would discuss it tomorrow.
At this moment, Yan Hao got a thought from Jiajia through mind reading and was shocked.
Jiajia: " Humph, I'll keep these names first. I'm sure there will be many people impeaching me tomorrow. When the time comes, I can find a chance to get rid of one or two of them."
Yan Hao was really shocked. This Jiajia was really cunning. She was always finding ways to weaken these factions.
The court session passed just like that.
Yan Hao returned to the cabinet to deal with his affairs.
One of the memorials that caught Yan Hao's attention was Bao Heizi's. Bao Heizi had gone to Huguang and killed a sixth-grade official. He described the case in detail in the memorials. Yan Hao trusted Bao Heizi's ability to handle cases, so he approved it directly. Then, he saw many memorials accusing Bao Heizi of covering up criminals and framing officials. Yan Hao sneered and suppressed them from Jiajia.
So what if you're wronged? I won't let the emperor know about your grievances and anger you to death.
The other two elders were probably yes-men and would not object. Zhang Weibi had asked for sick leave today and did not come, so Yan Hao had the final say.
In the evening, when Yan Hao was working in the cabinet, Feng Bao, the young eunuch beside the Emperor, came.
"Grand Secretary Yan, the Emperor invites you…"
"Why is the emperor looking for me?" Yan Hao was curious. Usually, unless there was something important, Jiajia, that lazy thing, would not summon him at night.
" I'm not sure, but it seems to be related to the exam…" Under Yan Hao's intimate intercourse and the silver bullet attack, Feng Bao's attitude towards Yan Hao could be said to be very close. Moreover, Yan Hao was different from other scholars. He did not reject or hate people with physical defects. Instead, he was calm. This made the eunuchs, who were more sensitive because of the lack of things, feel very comfortable.
"A test?" When Yan Hao heard this, he knew what to do.
Soon, they arrived at the Emperor's royal study. Red charcoal was burning inside, making it as warm as spring.
This kind of charcoal was warm and resistant to burning. It was grayish-white and did not explode. Moreover, it had little smoke and carried a warm fragrance. It was the highest grade of charcoal. Yan Hao's family's fire was of a lower level, but not by much. However, it cost a lot of money.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Yan Hao bowed.
"Minister Yan, you're here. Have a seat." Jiajia held the memorial and gestured for Feng Bao to move a stool.
Yan Hao sat down.”
"What does Minister Yan think of the discussion of the general exams in today's court meeting?”Jiajia looked at Yan Hao with a smile. Unfortunately, Yan Hao already knew his thoughts through mind-reading, so he naturally responded easily.
"Your Majesty, I think that Li Sancai and the others can't be the president, but the vice president. The president needs to uphold justice and be impartial.”
Jiajia smiled.
Yan Hao read Jia Jia's mind. As expected, Minister Yan knows my intentions. If not, Minister Yan will be the one to choose the main examiner. I can also see if Minister Yan is like the other parties.
Yan Hao thought to himself, As expected of Jiajia, who used her schemes to topple the cabinet when she was young. How sinister.
"I wonder if Minister Yan has anyone in mind?"”
Yan Hao said 'embarrassed',"In the exam three years ago, I was blind and didn't recognize Chen Bieshi, which brought shame to the princess. This time, I don't dare to speak carelessly."”
Jiajia: " No problem. I believe in Minister Yan's character. If Minister Yan has someone to choose, you can recommend him to me."”
Yan Hao thought for a moment and selected a few non-affiliated officials. Shen Shixing was among them.
The next day, when Jiajia did not attend court, Yan Hao received a pile of impeachment memorials against those candidates. They were all accused of being greedy, lustful, unfilial...
Yan Hao also saw an old man in his sixties being impeached for disturbing his neighbors and bringing bad influence to the court. Yan Hao almost burst out laughing when he saw this.
As expected, he was fighting for the sake of fighting, not for the sake of the matter.
This time, Yan Hao didn't press the memorials. Instead, he sorted them all, labeled them, and had the eunuch send them to the royal study.
Presumably, Jiajia liked reading such memorials very much.
As expected, Jiajia unexpectedly postponed her 'cultivation' on this day, which was very rare. She made time to read this batch of memorials. Of course, he praised Yan Hao's work and rewarded him with many things.
