The last spring exam was when Zhu Houzhao had just ascended the throne. At that time, he came to report that the little emperor was completely thoughtless, but now he was excited.

Liu Jian couldn't help but think, it seems that the emperor has grown up and is sensible.

At this time, as usual, he would think of the late emperor, the late emperor, the old minister finally fulfilled his mission, hey...

With a sigh, Liu Jian said: "The northern list is February 23rd, and as for the southern list, I know nothing, but according to the rules of previous years, the ranking should be released from the 22 to 27th."

Zhu Houzhao was energetic: "I have read the test questions. This year's Southern List questions are quite difficult. Wouldn't this make it difficult for the candidates?"

Liu Jian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial examination is to choose the best. If you fail because the question is difficult, then such a person should fail the exam. The old minister had an exam that year..."

Later, when Liu Jian started bragging, Zhu Houzhao was not interested at all, and began to think in his heart that Master Wang could accept his junior brother as his disciple, so it would be better to choose the best ones.

Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, "Okay, let the list be released and report it to me immediately. Let the Tongzhengsi be more diligent, don't let me wait for a long time."

Several cabinet ministers had no other things to do, so they all took their leave.

The four pavilions left the warmer pavilion. The most difficult thing for them in the palace was that the Forbidden City was too big, and the warmer pavilion was a distance from the cabinet, and they could not sit in sedan chairs or ride, so they were old and had to walk.

Xie Qian said with gratitude: "Since this year, Your Majesty has indeed become more sensible than before. He has also begun to pay attention to the etiquette of talent. This is a sign of the prosperity of the country."

Liu Jian nodded and sighed.

Because of his lack of qualifications, Jiao Fang could only follow the three cabinet ministers.

Only Li Dongyang, who has always been silent, suddenly said: "Ye Chunqiu has also participated in the spring exam of the Southern List this year. Your Majesty seems to be more concerned about the Southern List."

After saying this, Liu Jian and Xie Qian looked at each other.

As long as you think about everything, you can always figure out something, let alone the great minds who dominate the Ming Dynasty. Liu Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly. So that's it, and he thought that Your Majesty had really changed his temperament.

However... His Majesty cares about a scholar, and it doesn't seem to be bad. It's better than following a group of eunuchs every day.

What's more, Ye Chunqiu has given Liu Jian a lot of impression. At first, he thought he was just a person who deceived the world and robbed the world, but now when he thinks about it carefully, he seems to be a true and sincere gentleman and a pillar of the country in the future.

Xie Qian did not frown. Instead, he was not angry, but said happily: "Oh, what Binzhi said was Ye Chunqiu. He is now the prince's disciple. This time he was guided by the prince. I am afraid that his knowledge will improve again, but I don't know if he can win."

Li Dongyang also became interested: "He is the Jieyuan of Zhejiang Province. As long as he is not a stumble, I think there will be no big surprise."

Instead, he glanced at Jiao Fang from the corner of his eyes and observed Jiao Fang's expression.

Jiao Fang seemed to notice this gaze and said with a smile: "This boy will definitely win. This time, he ordered He Shi Shang to preside over the southern list, which will make it more certain."

His words seemed a bit heartbroken.

What does it mean to let He Shishang preside over the southern list? Ye Chunqiu will definitely win, just like He Shishang will do favoritism and fraud.

However... Liu Jin, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang knew it in his heart, and knew that Jiao Fang's mood was afraid that he would be a little bad.

When someone impeached Liu Jin, Jiao Fang secretly passed the news to Liu Jin, which made Liu Jin regard Jiao Fang as his confidant. After that, Liu Jin tried every means to kick Wang Hua away, and Jiao Fang entered the cabinet.

And now... Ye Chunqiu is about to go high school, and as Wang Hua's favorite student, Jiao Fang is probably left with only tragedies in her heart at this moment.

It is understandable that Liu Jian has never been enthusiastic about him, but he has always been steady. Seeing Xie Qian showing signs of being angry, he stroked his beard and smiled: "This imperial examination is always unsure. There are so many times when Jie Yuan has fallen into a sand. So it is too early to say that it must be won now, but I really want to see what the questions I have done in the Spring and Autumn Period? Well, all the officials, official duties are important, this is just a topic of conversation before and after the meal."

In one sentence, the tense atmosphere was about to be eliminated. Xie Qian was a little angry. He was eager to know whether Ye Chunqiu could go to high school. Originally, Wang Hua was excluded, which was a matter of being a thorn in his throat. If Ye Chunqiu was in high school, it would have a bit of a prince’s revenge. Although it was just a test, Ye Chunqiu’s life path was still long, but at least he could make himself feel relieved.

A strange feeling flashed through Li Dongyang's eyes, and a smile appeared to be thinking.

Jiao Fang also realized that she had a bad mood just now, but she shouldn't say such strange words, but instead made her look a little lower. It was just... Ye Chunqiu... Wang Hua's favorite disciple... Haha...

……………………

After the exam, the first thing Ye Chunqiu did was to go back to the inn and take a comfortable hot bath. He immediately felt much more comfortable and changed all his clothes, making him feel refreshed.

But this hair is hard to wash, and I opened the bun. Although I was only fourteen years old, my long hair was already covered with shoulders. My body and skin were so unbearable that I was a little unbearable. He used half a piece of soap horn and then barely washed it clean.

But there was no barber in this era, so he had to hurriedly come out of the bathroom with his clothes in his arms. Outside, Ye Jing had been waiting for a long time and hurriedly went in to take a bath.

Ye Chunqiu could only sit outside and dry his long hair. Fortunately, the weather has finally cleared up now. Well... it took two hours to dry it. Before dark, it should be able to dry it thoroughly. There is no hair dryer, and it is really a depressing thing to want to play with long hair fluttering.

The only thing that made Ye Chunqiu feel fortunate was that all the relatives and friends seemed to have expected that they needed to blow their long and fluttering hair, so no one disturbed them.

When my father finished washing, he still had long wet hair. He took his clothes and went to the patio not far away to wash his clothes. He inevitably washed Ye Chunqiu's clothes. After drying his clothes, he also brought a small stool to Ye Chunqiu to blow the air. Then he naturally entered the traditional project and said to each other about his own questions. When he heard Ye Chunqiu's eight-legged essays, his father was still very aware of the goods and couldn't help but applaud, saying, "Yes, if so, as long as you don't make any mistakes, you will almost win. There is a great opportunity to rank among the top. Chunqiu...you are good."
