Chapter 234 This hat is so green 57 (page 12)
When the Minister of Rites came in, he saw the father and son staring at each other.
"Wei Chen has met your Majesty."
"I love your life."
"Your Majesty, this is the list of successful candidates in this examination, as well as the top ten test papers. Your Majesty, please take a look."
Eunuch Li showed the list and papers to Emperor Liang.
Emperor Liang glanced at the list for a moment before throwing it to Yuan Xi beside him, and then picked up the paper.
Yuan Xi took the thick booklet and opened it. It had the rank, name and place of birth on it.
Because the list will not be released until tomorrow, Yuan Xi cannot take this book out of the palace, so he can only read it once and write down all the contents on it.
Emperor Liang saw him flipping through it quickly and didn't care.
Now that he knew what he wanted to know, Yuan Xi didn't stay in the palace any longer and left directly to return home.
This throw away attitude is unabashed.
As soon as he stepped out of the imperial study, Yuan Xi suddenly remembered the British Duke's request for marriage from Emperor Liang.
He paused and turned around to go back.
Eunuch Li's two apprentices, Shunyi Jixiang, were about to salute when they saw Prince Ding turn around and go back.
The waist that had just been bent a little straightened up again.
"Why are you back again?"
Emperor Liang looked at Yuan Xi who had left and returned, and when he heard what he said, he glanced at the Minister of Rites.
He looked like he couldn't say it in front of outsiders.
The Minister of Rites was very discerning and resigned first.
"He's gone. Tell me, what happened?"
"Father, I have something to discuss with you. If the British Duke wants you to grant a marriage to his daughter, you must not agree."
Emperor Liang became interested and asked with great interest: "Why is this? The British Duke has been sincere for many years and asked me for some kindness, so I can't refuse him."
I was thinking: Maybe Twelve is enlightened. The British Duke seems to have an unmarried daughter who is still in the prime of life. If Twelve has this intention, it would be a good idea to marry the British Duke.
Yuan Xi suddenly felt a chill and looked around.
Which unruly people want to harm this king?
He took a sip of hot tea to suppress the sudden chill.
"Father, it is good for two people to get married. If you want to marry, you must also consider the wishes of both parties. Don't bring together a pair of resentful couples."
"Don't listen to the British public's one-sided words."
Seeing him like this, Emperor Liang became more sure of his guess and asked meaningfully: "Then what kind of person do you think the daughter of an English duke is suitable for?"
Yuan Xi felt a little baffled when he heard this. How could he know? Maybe... the sixth prince?
"As the saying goes, mung bean is the right one for the tortoise. Maybe some other tortoise will be right for her, who knows."
"This time the British Prince announced that he will choose a son-in-law among the new Jinshi. Those who can pass the Jinshi exam are also the country's talents. I also want to prevent the British Prince from using the power of my father to intimidate young men from good families."
Yuan Xi's tone was full of sarcasm, and Emperor Liang knew that he had misunderstood. Fortunately, he didn't say it just now, otherwise this kid wouldn't know how he would mock him.
But this little brat is too vindictive, and he still remembers what happened last time.
In Emperor Liang's impression, what happened last time was the only intersection between Yuan Xi and Yan Youan. Now Yuan Xi has a bad attitude towards her, it must be because of grudge.
I cursed Yuan Xi's pettiness several times in my heart.
"I promise you this. The British Duke's daughter doesn't have to worry about marrying. I think you are worrying too much. Those new scholars may be very happy to be favored by the British Duke."
"I'm just giving them a warning. I can't care about those who want to climb high and become bastards."
Emperor Liang frowned, intuiting that this matter was not simple.
After Yuan Xi left, he immediately called the secret guard leader and asked him to check on Yan Youan.
At this time, Eunuch Li reminded: "Your Majesty, since Prince Ding knows, why not ask Xiao Xizi beside him."
Ever since Yuan Xi left the palace, Xiao Xizi, a secret figure, has been silent. Emperor Liang asked him to concentrate on serving Yuan Xi and not to send any more news. If anything happened, someone would contact him.
"Ah."
Emperor Liang agreed and asked Eunuch Li to make arrangements.
As soon as Yuan Xi came back from the Prince's Palace, he went straight to the study and wrote down the 123 people who passed the Jinshi examination.
"Xiao Xizi, ask Liu Xi to come over."
Xiao Xizi rushed to inform Liu Xi, and on the way she met people sent by Eunuch Li.
Yuan Xi summoned him, and Liu Xi hurried back to the palace.
"This slave has seen..."
"No need to be polite, come here and see these people, do you agree?"
Liu Xi walked to the desk calmly and looked at the papers spread out on the table, which were densely packed with names and birthplaces.
As a close confidant, Liuxi certainly knew why the prince came to the palace every day recently.
He quickly scanned the list from beginning to end.
Pointing to Huiyuan, who ranked first, he recalled: "Shi Yancheng, this person is already married; Fang Zhen, not yet married, has outstanding literary talent, is a poor student, and comes from a farming and studying family;..."
Liuxi has been asking about these students during this time, and the results are remarkable. He recognizes everyone on the list. I quickly scanned the list, eliminated them one after another, and finally selected the three most likely targets.
"Fang Zhen, Wen Hao, Shen Ziye."
Yuan Xi listened to Liu Xi's inquiring information and felt that these three people should be the targets of the British public.
Especially Fang Zhen, who is talented, good-looking, a poor student, and easy to handle. Just the perfect fit.
The other two are okay, but they are more or less related to each other behind the scenes, and they are not as clean as Fang Zhen.
Yuan Xi tapped Fang Zhen's name with his finger, "Liuxi, keep an eye on these three people lately, especially him."
"Once a British citizen comes into contact with the three of them, you know what to do."
Liuxi responded with a smile: "The prince is kind-hearted and cannot bear to let them be deceived. I will definitely send someone to keep an eye on them."
"These people are all talents selected by Liang Guo at all levels. I also consider Liang Guo and do my best for the court."
"Your Majesty will be moved if you know that Your Majesty has devoted himself so much to the imperial court and even died."
Liu Xi patted Rainbow Fart, and Xiao Xizi behind Yuan Xi looked at Liu Xi and couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
There is only one thought in my mind, this person is so shameless.
As for the prince, what can he do wrong? These villains are trying to corrupt the prince with sweet words. Bah, this is disgusting.
The double standard was clearly played by him.
……
On the day the results were released, Fang Zhen was invited to watch the results with his companions.
When he was excited about being on the list, people around him congratulated him one after another. Several strong men quietly surrounded him and kidnapped him in full view of the public. He, a weak scholar, had no power to resist.
My mouth was blocked and I could only moan. Several companions were also dispersed by the crowd while watching the list, and no one came to help. Fang Zhen felt very weak, pitiful and helpless.
He knew that this was to catch his son-in-law, but he was careless this time and was unprepared for the moment.
At the emperor's feet, he shouldn't be sending people directly into the bridal chamber like he did in his hometown, right? should.
