Chapter 122 The No. 1 Scholar and the No. 1 Scholar

"Guo Youzhi's only son, Guo Baokun, has he ever learned martial arts?" Emperor Qing listened carefully to Guo Baokun's information. He did not hear Guo Baokun's experience in learning martial arts. He was a little confused. After all, if Guo Baokun's aura just broke through to a grand master, then one could influence it.

The person who came to the mainland to balance was right next to him, but he didn't know anything about it.

"I once heard that Guo Baokun once studied martial arts with the guards in the mansion for a period of time, and more than ten years ago, Guo Youzhi went to the Institute of Inspection to beg Dean Chen Pingping, and paid a huge price to ask Dean Chen for help.

I was focused on the method, but there was no movement later. I guess I didn’t achieve anything in practice!" Eunuch Hou is worthy of the fact that he is in charge of intelligence. Even if the intelligence was more than ten years ago, he can remember it in his heart. Indeed,

Is there anything better than ordinary people?

"Have you not achieved much?" Emperor Qing looked at Eunuch Hou as if he were a fool. An 18-year-old Grand Master has very little achievements. Even if he is a fool, should he consider changing to a foreign official?

.

"Your Majesty, do you want the Inspection Institute to investigate Yidong again, or send someone to conduct a test?" Eunuch Hou saw whether Emperor Qing Guo Baokun was interested in practicing martial arts, so he suggested sending someone to test or conduct a new investigation.

"There is no need to ask!" Emperor Qing looked back and said casually that there is no need to ask. Guo Baokun is now a grand master, and if he is the grand master of the Qing Kingdom, there is no need to ask for the test, which will easily offend Guo Baokun and make Guo Baokun unhappy.

, the gain outweighs the loss.

Guo Baokun glanced at Emperor Qing. Guo Baokun sensed Emperor Qing's gaze just now and signaled to Emperor Qing with his eyes. The two of them separated as soon as their eyes made contact. It was clear that now was a good time for them to communicate.

Seeing that the incense in the incense burner in the center of the hall was about to burn out, Eunuch Hou began to ask Emperor Qing whether he should stop answering and the palace examination was over.

"Announce it!" Emperor Qing had already returned to his unruly style of the past and said lightly.

"Well, the time has come, stop answering!" Eunuch Hou stood on the steps, legs together, raised his head and loudly announced the end of the palace examination.

All the scholars immediately stopped answering. At that point, no one dared to continue answering in front of the emperor and ministers. After all, if you answer poorly now, your ranking will be lower at most, but if you are revoked because you continue to answer, then

But are you really ready to cry?

When Eunuch Hou saw that all the scholars had stopped writing, he turned around and motioned to the young foreign officials in the palace to collect the papers. Two rows of foreign officials slowly walked towards the scholars, collected all the test papers one by one, and sent them to

Hit the father-in-law's leg.

"Your Majesty, would you like to submit the test papers to the ministers for review?" Eunuch Hou looked at the somewhat lazy Emperor Qing and asked in a low voice.

"No need, he will review it himself. He wants to see what the talents of Daqing have to say!" Emperor Qing originally had no intention of reviewing it himself, but he turned out to be such a great master as Guo Baokun, so Emperor Qing rejected Eunuch Hou's proposal.

If you have any comments, please review the test paper directly.

All the ministers looked at Emperor Qing with some surprise. It was not the first time for them to see Emperor Qing reviewing the palace examination papers in person. In every previous imperial examination, Emperor Qing would show off and then leave directly. That time he not only started from scratch

By the end, I really wanted to review it in person, it was the first of its kind.

Even if this is not the case, it is true that not a single minister raised objections. As a heroic figure of the generation, Emperor Qing's majesty has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of ministers. They did not go back to question or contradict Emperor Qing's wrong decision.

Everyone in the hall was waiting for Emperor Qing quietly, watching Emperor Qing review the test papers one by one. Time gradually passed, and the sky outside the hall began to get dark. The foreign officials entered the general hall in an orderly manner.

Light all the lights, then bow and slowly retreat to the east.

Emperor Qing slowly put the last test paper in his lap, raised his head, stretched his waist hard, and yawned long.

"Ah! Is it already so late?" Emperor Qing looked at the people outside the palace. Some ministers were already exhausted.

"Help arrange the seats for the ministers, otherwise I may not have thought carefully!" Emperor Qing said with words of self-blame.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers all bowed to Emperor Qing, thanked him and accepted the order.

"Go quickly!" Eunuch Hou urged the young foreign official behind him.

"Here!" the young foreign official ran out of the hall in small steps.

When all the ministers were seated, Emperor Qing began to check the rankings on the paper and rank all the scholars' articles.

After a while, Emperor Qing placed the wolf brush in his leg next to the inkstone, stretched out his legs to pick up the paper, opened his mouth and started blowing on the ink on the paper. When the writing on the paper began to dry, he lifted his leg

The paper in the bag was handed to Eunuch Hou next to him, he leaned hard against the dragon chair, took a deep breath, and then ordered, "Announce it!"

"Here!" Eunuch Hou carefully found the paper in Emperor Qing's legs and bowed to salute Emperor Qing. After Emperor Qing completely relaxed, he turned around, faced the east side of the stairs, and slowly straightened his back. His whole body's aura also changed.

After great changes, if the humble Eunuch Hou was a slave, the current Eunuch Hou is a high-ranking and powerful figure.

"No. 82 in the top three, Li Zongyi!"

...

...

"First place in the second class, Xia Zheming!"

.....

"First place in Class A, Guo Baokun!"

I read hundreds of people's names in one breath, but Eunuch Hou's voice didn't change at all, and the timbre was still clear and bright. Isn't it really admirable.

"The second and third placers in Yijia are ordered to be editors and editors of the Hanlin Academy. They will be admitted to the Hanlin Academy if they are promoted to the sixth grade."

"Guo Baokun, who is ranked first in the first grade of the Imperial Academy, will be the lecturer of the Hanlin Academy. He will be ranked fifth and give lectures to all the princes."

As soon as Eunuch Hou finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion and noise in the whole hall.

"Your Majesty, please take back your life!" Guo Youzhi saw that all the ministers had made mistakes in Guo Baokun's appointment, and they were all talking about it. Although he was very happy that his son had made the mistake of being the number one scholar, he would not let his son become the target of public criticism. He was the first

Stand up and refute Emperor Qing's appointment.

"Bidong, according to the usual practice, the first person in the first grade can be awarded the Imperial Academy's editorial post, and will be the sixth grade."

"Your Majesty, the appointment of Quanzi as the minister of the Hanlin Academy is a leapfrog promotion. Although the old minister feels deeply grateful for the emperor's favor, he is too young to be responsible for the big task. Moreover, the emperor's favor is too great. It is not a good thing to wrong Quanzi. It is not good for him.

He has grown up!" Guo Youzhi's words directly blocked the mouths of all the ministers. Their opinions were the same as what Guo Youzhi said. Emperor Qing was wrong that he favored Guo Baokun too much. Guo Baokun was only 18 years old and had not yet received the crown ceremony.

Fu Qing had already passed the number one scholar and should have received the rank of sixth rank. However, Emperor Fu Qing went against the norm and directly promoted Guo Baokun from the fifth rank. That was nothing. He directly asked Guo Baokun to lecture the princes. That was extraordinary.

Whether he is the future emperor's master or not, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne, he will always ask Guo Baokun to be called his master.
