An hour later.
The papers of these new Jinshi had already been roughly reviewed.
Xu Zhaozong and the others surrounded Wu Ling.
"Who do you think will be the top scorer?" Wu Ling said lightly.”
Everyone was stunned. Xu Zhaozong and Cui Qinghe looked at each other and said,""We don't know. Your Majesty, please make a decision…"
These two old foxes! Yang Chen pursed his lips.
Wu Ling's gaze landed on Yang Chen," Does Yang Qing's family have any recommendations?”
"Uh, no. Your Majesty, please make a decision!”Yang Chen said seriously.
He wasn't being humble, but he really didn't see anything that was outstanding.
Wu Ling nodded and his cold voice sounded," I thought that this person could be the top scorer."
She placed a set of papers on the table.
Everyone looked over.
"Di Renjie from Jin Yang, Bing Province."
Yang Chen was stunned. Di Renjie?
He was a little surprised.
As the host of the imperial examination, he naturally knew the list of candidates.
However, Yang Chen only had a cursory look at the top ten. After all, the top scorer and the second scorer were basically all from here.
He did not expect that there was a big fish hidden in this batch of scholars!
Next, Wu Ling decided on the second place and the third place.
Yang Chen and the others naturally had no objections.
After the time for an incense stick to burn.
Yang Chen and the others returned to the team and stood still.
The new Jinshi were a little nervous. They knew that the rankings were about to be announced.
An official from the Ministry of Rites held a list of names and said loudly,""The first place in the new Jinshi examination is..."
Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
" Bingzhou Jinyang examinee Di Renjie."
The new batch of Jinshi was in chaos.
An ordinary-looking, slightly plump young man looked excited. He was Di Renjie. Although he had passed the imperial examination, his ranking was not high. He had only wanted to give it a try in this court examination. He did not expect to become the top scorer!
The officials from the Ministry of Rites continued to register. In order, it was the second place, and then the flower.
After the rankings were confirmed, there was nothing else to do.
Wu Ling then left.
The officials also gradually prepared to disperse.
Yang Chen smiled and walked up to Di Renjie.
Di Renjie naturally noticed the famous Imperial Censor Yang.
"Greetings, Imperial Censor Yang." He hurriedly said respectfully.
Yang Chen smiled and said,"There's no need to be so polite."
He reached out and patted Di Renjie's shoulder." Huaiying, I have high hopes for you!”
Di Renjie was shocked. He did not expect the world-famous Yang Chen to think so highly of him.
"The students are terrified," he said hurriedly.
"Since Huaiying has already become an official of the Imperial Court, he will fulfill his duties for the Imperial Court in the future!" Yang Chen said with a smile. He placed the people of the world in his heart and fulfilled his duty for the Great Zhou!”
Di Renjie felt dizzy. Although he didn't know why Yang Chen valued him so much, he was excited by Yang Chen's encouragement. He quickly cupped his hands and said,"I'll do my best until I die!"
Yang Chen smiled as he looked at the young Di Renjie in front of him. He had a wicked taste in his heart." Huaiying, you should eat more in the future. You're too skinny."
Di Renjie: "???"
He was dumbfounded, not knowing what Yang Chen meant.
However, he still replied respectfully,"Yes."
............
The imperial examinations were basically over, and the empress saw the feasibility of the reform. She quickly ordered the officials of the Ministry of Rites to hold the imperial examinations in accordance with this process.
To the empress, the imperial examination was a sharp blade in her hand.
The constant influx of fresh blood into the Imperial Court was precisely what could balance the power of the great clans. It was crucial to the stability of the country.
A month later.
Inside Hanyuan Palace.
Wu Ling looked at the mountain of memorials in front of him and sighed.
Even though she was diligent in her work, there was always a limit. She had been like this for several days in a row and was already quite frustrated.
"I finally understand why so many emperors would rather bear the infamy and become a fatuous ruler. It's really not that easy to be a wise ruler.”Wu Ling frowned.
Shangguan Wan 'er stood by his side. She pursed her lips and said with a smile,"Your Majesty is a wise ruler through the ages. You've already surpassed many people.”
Wu Ling laughed and said,"You only know how to flatter me." What about the traitor? She didn't seem to see him much recently?”
Shangguan Wan 'er muttered," Censor Yang seems to have something important to do. He always leaves in a hurry. I don't know either."”
When Wu Ling thought of Yang Chen, the frustration in her heart disappeared for some reason. She smiled and said,"What can happen to him? Are you in a hurry to see your lover?"
Shangguan Wan 'er blinked." This..." I don't think so."
Wu Ling snorted lightly. Shall we go and take a look?"
Shangguan Wan 'er's expression was strange. She could not help but say,"Your Majesty, you're…You want to catch an adulterer?"
Wu Ling immediately glared at Shangguan Wan 'er when he heard that." Nonsense! When did I mean this?"
Shangguan Wan 'er pursed her lips, but she was somewhat speechless in her heart.
Didn't Her Majesty mean to catch the adulterer?
Wu Ling seemed to be able to see through her thoughts. She snorted lightly," I'm just going to see what this traitor is doing.”
She said righteously," I am the ruler of a country, and this rebellious subject is my subject. Can't I know his movements?"”
Shangguan Wan 'er was speechless.
"But, Your Majesty, your memorial…" She pursed her lips.
Wu Ling's expression was indifferent as he said," Leave it there for now. Go and prepare a set of clothes for me to change into before leaving the palace."”
"Yes." Shangguan Wan 'er was helpless.
She then left.
After a while.
Shangguan Wan 'er brought the clothes over and helped the empress change.
Two hours later.
A carriage slowly emerged from the palace.
