Rise From the Humble

Yan Maoqing mixed Zhu Pingan's title book among the three masterpieces, turned around and handed the four title books to Yan Song together.

hehe

I have knelt before the Buddha for three thousand years. Since you want to be in the limelight so much, I will help you and let the Holy One see your "masterpiece".

After reading such an excellent work praising the Buddha, the saint will definitely be furious with its author, Zhu Ping'an! Yan Maoqing couldn't help but reveal a smile when he thought of Zhu Ping'an's attempt to stand out and be scolded instead.

There are many reasons why Yan Maoqing doesn't like Zhu Ping'an. During the initial examination, Yan Shifan said hello in advance, and Yan Maoqing also wanted to nominate Ouyang Zishi, the son of Yan Song's brother-in-law, as a member of the Hui Yuan. Fortunately, he could get ahead in front of Mr. Yan Ge. As a result, Zhu Ping'an came out halfway and took away not only Huiyuan, but also the number one scholar. Yan Maoqing was not able to explain to Yan Song and Yan Shifan, and the prime ministers were Liangzhe, Lianghuai, Changlu and Hedong. The errand was gone as well.

You have to know that I have been eyeing this fat job in Yanzheng for several years. What a great opportunity last year, but it was suddenly ruined by Zhu Ping'an, a rat.

In addition, Zhu Ping'an was very disrespectful to his teacher, and his filial piety during the New Year and festivals was pitiful.

In addition, Yan Maoqing was very dissatisfied with Zhu Ping'an's last memorial incident.

Of course, there is another direct reason, and that is Taicang Bank. The relationship between Yan Maoqing and Taicang Bank is not ordinary. Yan Maoqing loves money very much. Four years ago, he took advantage of the change of officials in Taicang Bank and arranged for his cousin, Zhao Dingtian, to work as a doctor in Taicang Bank through Yan Shifan. He also arranged for his three nephews from his hometown to work as warehouse soldiers in the Taicang Bank.

Through this relationship, the annual benefits from Taicang have increased Yan Maoqing's income by several levels.

For Yan Mao Qinglai, Taicang is like a chicken that lays golden eggs, and nothing can go wrong.

Zhu Ping'an is the only one left in Taicang Bank now. Although Yan Maoqing doesn't think Zhu Ping'an can detect anything, it's always good to have an extra layer of insurance.

If Zhu Pingan is convicted of the Holy Emperor at this time, haha, then Zhu Pingan will not have the energy to care about Taicang.

In this way, Taicang will be safe.

That’s why Yan Maoqing included Zhu Ping’an’s “Praise to the Buddha” inscription among his masterpieces.

As for whether I will be implicated for recommending Zhu Pingan's question book, haha, there is no need to worry about this, I have already thought about it clearly.

On the one hand, with Zhu Pingan's title book as a foil, the advantages of other title books will be more obvious. Just now Yan Maoqing also noticed that Yan Shifan's article about catching a knife was delivered to Yan Song through the little eunuch. Presumably, with the support of Zhu Ping'an's title book, Mr. Yan Ge's masterpiece will be even more brilliant. When the time comes, Mr. Yan Ge won’t blame himself for taking matters into his own hands.

On the other hand, the Holy Father has said in the morning that all avenues of speech should be opened up, regardless of whether they are good or bad, and all title books will be submitted to the royal family for reading. The reason why Mr. Yan Ge ordered himself to screen the question books was to select good question books and give the good ones to His Majesty first. The purpose was to make His Majesty feel better quickly. After His Majesty felt better, he would then submit the remaining question books. Yu Lan, as for the quality of the remaining question books, and whether the Holy Emperor can read them, it doesn't matter.

Therefore, Yan Maoqing was not worried at all.

After Yan Maoqing handed the four question books to Yan Song, Yan Song put them away without even looking at them. He had just read a question book selected by Yan Maoqing. The article was very well written, so he felt relieved about the question book selected by Yan Maoqing.

Yan Song placed the four title books handed over by Yan Maoqing under his, Xu Jie's, Li Chunfang's and another title book, and handed them to a young eunuch, who sent them to Emperor Jiajing in the dormitory.

Yan Maoqing watched the young eunuch walk into the bedroom with the title book in hand. Thinking of the ending that Zhu Ping'an was about to face, he couldn't help but smile.

In the following time, Yan Maoqing continued to sift through the question books while listening closely to the movements in the inner hall.

As soon as the young eunuch walked into the dormitory holding the question book, Huang Jin walked over quickly and took the question book from the young eunuch's hand.

"Gods all over the sky, please bless this batch of question books and give them some energy."

While Huang Jin walked towards Emperor Jiajing with the title book in his arms, he silently prayed to the sky in his heart, but he must not let people down again. The emperor has not had a drop of water all day long. If he does not eat anymore, his body will not be able to bear it. Live.

"Your Majesty, this is the title book sent from the outer palace. I would like to ask Your Majesty to read it." Huang Jin walked to Emperor Jiajing who had written the masterpiece, knelt on the ground, holding the title book in both hands and reported.

When Emperor Jiajing, who was practicing with his eyes closed, heard this, he opened his eyes slightly, glanced down, nodded slightly, and said expressionlessly: "Put it somewhere."

On this day, a total of four batches of title books were received from the outer palace. Emperor Jiajing also read them one by one. He was disappointed after reading each one. He was disappointed too many times this day, so he also felt disappointed after seeing the title books submitted this time. Not much expression.

"Your Majesty, the top two are the new works of Master Yan and Master Xu respectively." After all, Huang Jin has been with Emperor Jiajing for decades. He can guess every move of Emperor Jiajing, so , specifically mentioned something that aroused Emperor Jiajing's interest.

Huang Jin succeeded.

After hearing Huang Jin's words, Emperor Jiajing was a little surprised, and finally became a little interested. The title of the article he read that day was written by Yan Song, Xu Jie and others. After writing an article, Emperor Jiajing finally became somewhat interested, "Oh, Wei Zhong and Zi Sheng wrote another article. Let's take a look."

Emperor Jiajing reached out and took the top four books from Huang Jin's hand, leaving the bottom four books. He waved his wide sleeves and said, "Well, Huang Ban, please take a look at the rest for me first."

"I obey, now I am blessed." Huang Jin knelt down and thanked him, with a look of pride and pride on his face.

"You!" Emperor Jiajing glanced at Huang Jin, shook his head, and then looked through the title of Yan Song's article.

"Um?"

After taking a look, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but hum, and his face gained a bit of healthy color.

Hearing Emperor Jiajing's questioning hum, Huang Jin panicked, shaking the question book in his hand, and looked up at Emperor Jiajing worriedly.

"Haha, Wei Zhong's article is quite unique," Emperor Jiajing commented while flipping through Yan Song's title book.

The Holy Father smiled? !

After Huang Jin raised his head and saw the curve of the corners of Emperor Jiajing's mouth, he thought he was being deceived. He rubbed his eyes repeatedly and confirmed that it was Emperor Jiajing who smiled. The dark cloud that had been shrouding Huang Jin's heart all day finally cleared a gap. A meter of sunlight was exposed.

The emperor really smiled! !

Master Yan, my Mr. Yan Ge, you have really made a great contribution this time (⊙ o ⊙)! ! You have lived up to His Majesty’s trust in you.

Huang Jin gave Yan Song 10,000 likes in his heart.

All the gods in the sky.

Your spirit has finally appeared, and I will kowtow to you shortly to fulfill your vows.

Seeing the curve of Emperor Jiajing's mouth, Huang Jinjue felt extremely happy. He had been looking forward to this scene all day long, and now it finally arrived.
