Hanyuan Hall, the first three Jinshi were awarded the title, the second one was 126 Jinshi, and the third one was 207 Jinshi. After the first one was 100 million, the third one was 200 million. After the first one was 100 million, the third one was 200 million. After the first one was 100 million, the junior officials brought green robes, boots, and scepters to these new Jinshi, which meant that these people would be officials from now on.

Then there were praises, music, four bows, and flattening. Then the prince gave wine, and the Ministry of Rites introduced a new Jinshi to thank him. The drums and music outside the hall started, and the umbrella ceremonies were paraded by the Jinshi. Shi Chongwei was a little excited. Originally, these things were to be done by the emperor himself, and as a prince presided over the singing ceremony, it was a rare thing in history books.

King Shi Chongjie of Chu'an stood on the left of the imperial stairs, staring at the newly appointed Jinshi who received robes, boots, scepters and other items with a calm face. He looked slightly sideways, and Zhou Chongrui stood not far behind him. Zhou Chongrui was a disciple of Huangzhou and stood out at the poetry meeting held by the Chu'an Palace. Shi Chongjie talked with him and found that this person not only wrote good writings and poems, but also proficient in practice, and talked about the way of governing the country in an orderly and reasonable manner. Shen Wenqing praised him for his talent as a king.

Zhou Chongrui's family was poor, and Shi Chongjie sponsored him 200 taels of silver and secretly sent someone to take care of the temple where he stayed. Zhang Changlin and others made trouble. Shi Chongjie ordered not to disturb his hard study, hoping that Zhou Chongrui would make a big splash in the imperial examination and would help him in the future.

Zhou Chongrui ranked seventh in the imperial examination and 19th in the palace examination. This ranking is amazing to others. After all, there is no first in the article. If the article is well written, it will be worthy of the taste of the examiner. There are too many artificial factors. However, after Zhou Chongrui's palace examination, Shen Wenqing invited him to drink tea. Zhou Chongrui recited the article he made to Shen Wenqing and consciously wrote it well. Shen Wenqing even asserted that this article should be included in the top three.

When the results were released, he saw that his name was ranked 19th, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. Zhou Chongrui felt a little sorry for King An of Chu's affection. King An of Chu sent someone to invite him to the mansion and set up a drink to celebrate him. During the meal, Shen Wenqing talked about Xiang Kaijie and others bribed the way. Zhou Chongrui, who was drunk, sighed to the sky and was filled with anger.

Shen Wenqing said: "The prince intends to seek justice for the sons of the world. Tomorrow, he will expose the matter in the Golden Palace, question the prince inquiring about his personal affairs, and then report to the emperor to find out the evil situation."

Zhou Chongrui said gratefully: "The prince is smart and powerful, has noble character, and has a world-renowned mind. Chongrui is willing to follow the prince in this life and do his best to do his best."

Shi Chongjie raised his wine glass and said, "I am lonely and auspicious. It is a blessing for me to be able to receive help from me. I respect and auspicious. In the future, I will help each other and do something for the country and the people."

Zhou Chongrui was passionate and stood up, raised his glass with his hands and drank it all.

When Zhou Chongrui sat down, Shen Wenqing set up a chopstick dish for him and sighed: "The prince and the prince are not in harmony. I think Chongrui has heard of it. The prince is doing things that the prince is in power and the people of the world, but the prince thinks that the prince is intending to seize the crown prince and fight for power. It is really a laugh. In order to win over the ministers, the prince opened up his own branches to hire powerful children. It is pitiful that those poor students worked hard for decades but were blocked from the Golden Palace. They only had the intention to serve the country but had no door to serve the country."

Zhou Chongrui was a poor family, and he was deeply moved by these words. He sighed: "As the crown prince, he should be dedicated to serving the public and gain talents for the country. Such favoritism is really difficult to convince the whole world."

Shen Wenqing said: "Tomorrow, the Prince of Jin Palace will stand up and speak out for his righteousness, but he is afraid that he will be said to be a fight for power and profit against the prince. Although the prince is the second son of Long live his life, he is the Chu.

Prince An, but he is also afraid that everyone will make money. In the future, the prince ascended the throne may be detrimental to the prince."

Zhou Chongrui said with a sigh: "The prince is loyal and loyal to the country and the people. Zhou swears to follow him to the death. I wonder what Chongrui will do in the Golden Palace tomorrow?" Zhou Chongrui understood in his heart that this was asking him to make a letter of fame, but he had already boarded the ship and could only follow the ship, not to mention that King Chu'an's big ship is also worth riding.

Shi Chongjie and Shen Wenqing both smiled. Zhou Chongrui was very good at using people. Otherwise, the greater the ability of Jiang Anyi, the more harmful it is to King An of Chu. Shen Wenqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Chongrui, the prince valued you very much and would never let you fall into danger. Chen promised you that the prince would never let you lose. Tomorrow, the prince needs an introduction, Chongrui..."

Seeing King An of Chu look sideways and signaling with his eyes, Zhou Chongrui knew it was time to appear as the discussion. When the minor official came to him with a tray, holding a robe, boots and other items, Zhou Chongrui gritted his teeth, took two steps forward, came to the steps and knelt down, kowtowed and said, "My minister Zhou Chongrui has something to do and ask the prince to be approved."

Suddenly, everyone in the Golden Palace was stunned. The Censor was stunned by Zhou Chongrui's actions and was at a loss. Shi Chongwei originally looked at the robes and boots of the men with a smile, preparing to accept the worship of these people. He even prepared to go down the stairs in person, helping to lift the top scholar Xiang Kaijie, the second-level Guan Wenhua, the second-level Ma Fengqi, and a few words of kind words. He knew that as the crown prince, these light words would most likely make these people work hard for him in the future. Unfortunately, time was limited, otherwise Shi Chongwei would say a few words to each son and encourage him. Most of the 336 people would become their own minions.

Zhou Chongrui suddenly knelt in front of the steps, and Shi Chongwei was also confused and asked subconsciously: "What's wrong with you?"

The prince spoke, and the censor who had just woken up was not able to step forward to pull Zhou Chongrui away, looking at him with fear that he would say something inappropriate to implicate himself.

Fearing to the extreme, he was willing to go out, Zhou Chongrui shouted: "I heard that this year's imperial examination has many ill-information. The powerful and noble children bribed the channels and rank high among the top. This year's top pick Xiang Kaijie bribed the channels of the eunuch Tang Wenzhong, and bought the positions of the top pick for 42,000 taels of silver..."

Before he finished speaking, several angrily rebuked sounds from the Golden Palace, "Stop talking", "All nonsense", "The Censor, won't he pull this crazy sect down from the Golden Palace", and a few angrily rebuked them from the Minister of Rites Xue Suren, Kong Sheng, Ma Suizhen and others. These people knew that Zhou Chongrui's statement would cause shocking waves in the court, and countless people died because of this. The court was unstable, especially now that the emperor is seriously ill and the border is restless, and the country needs peace. If chaos arises, a great disaster will come.

Xiang Kaijie stood in front of everyone, his face full of joy. Zhou Chongrui's words were like a bolt from the blue, and Xiang Kaijie was dizzy and almost sat on the ground. He had only one thought in his mind: The incident happened. Zhou Chongrui not only knew that he was following the eunuch of the officials, Tang Wenzhong, but how could he even know the amount of silver bribes? Could it be that Tang Changfu was arrested and recognized himself?

The Censor came forward to arrest Zhou Chongrui. King Shi Chongjie of Chuan shouted sternly: "Wait, you must talk to others. Since Zhou Chongrui is very confident, why don't he let him finish his words? If he complains in accordance with the law, he must not sit idly by the matter if he says he is a real orphan."

Kong Sheng faced King An of Chu and said in a trembling voice: "Prince, the overall situation is the most important thing."

It’s not that Shi Chongjie didn’t know the harm to the court at this time, but his father was seriously ill and the prince pressed him step by step, especially when Tang Wenzhong communicated with him, the news about Yanshan Villa was in the hands of the prince. If he sat on his own, the best way out after his father died of illness and the prince ascended the throne was to be a foreign country like the King of Anyang, and one person was not easy to be imprisoned in the capital, and life and death were in the hands of others.

"Kong Xiang, the great ceremony of talent is a major event for the country, and this is the overall situation," Shi Chongjie retorted without hesitation: "Now, the sequel to the examination list is constantly questioning. After the examination list came out, more than a thousand sons came to the Ministry of Rites to petition. It is difficult to block the letter of complaints from the Tongkou. I would like to ask Kong Xiang, as the chief assistant, you ignore this and just think about whether you are willing to let the matter down and be entrusted with your father."

Kong Sheng looked at the excited King An of Chu and knew that Shi Chongjie was preparing to formally attack the prince by taking advantage of the imperial examination. The previous secret struggle turned into open disputes, and the court was really troublesome. Kong Sheng smiled bitterly.

The prince Shi Chongwei, above the high seat, slapped the table and angrily said, "Shut up, Shi Chongjie, how dare you be rude to Confucius? I have reported to my father in detail about the imperial examination. My father is very satisfied. I wonder what you are dissatisfied with?"

After taking off the big hat, Shi Chongjie had already made up his mind to take it on his shoulders. He had no shortage of etiquette and responded respectfully: "The father asked me to help my brother in charge of the government affairs. I dare not slacken. Seeing that there were ill-information in the imperial examination, I should naturally raise it. My father was resting in the Yanshan Villa Garden. I was afraid that he would be deceived, so I went to the Yanshan Villa Garden to see him, reported the truth, and asked him to decide, and my brother would go back first."

After saying that, Shi Chongjie bowed and turned to the palace. Confucius rushed forward and stopped him, and advised: "Your Majesty think twice."

There was a silence above the Golden Palace, and all the ministers were stunned. On the throne, Shi Chongwei was a little panicked. He didn't expect Shi Chongjie to tear his face off the Golden Palace, which made him a little difficult to get on the way. Seeing Shi Chongjie turn and leave, Shi Chongwei really wanted to order him to be taken down, but King An of Chu was his younger brother, and the emperor did instruct Shi Chongjie to help manage the government affairs. The Three Laws, Ministry of Works and other yamen were responsible for the specific responsibility. As the prince, Shi Chongwei could not take down King An of Chu for no reason.

Huo Ran stood up, and Shi Chongwei said anxiously: "Shi Chongjie, you stopped me and disturbed my father. Can you afford it?"

Ma Suizhen also stepped forward to stop Shi Chongjie. He was the nominal king of Chuan An. He taught a lesson with a calm face: "Prince, you can only be cautious in your words and actions. As the prince of the country, how can you act so recklessly? Didn't you hear that governing a big country is like cooking a small freshman? You are so fucked up by you. There are bad things in the imperial examinations, so why bother to disturb the holy body?"

These words were golden and jade-like words, and Shi Chongjie stopped to consider them. Seeing Shi Chongjie hesitating, Shi Chongwei thought that although Tang Wenzhong gave him details, he chose Xiang Kaijie as the top scholar not for personal gain, but really liked his talent. Even if he came to his father and presented Xiang Kaijie's test paper, his father would not blame him.

Thinking of this, Shi Chongwei became angry and blurted out: "The father and emperor are clear about the imperial examination. Gu chose Xiang Kaijie to gain talent for the country. Shi Chongjie, you accused Gu of blinding his father. Although he went to Yanshan to complain, Gu had some words first. If his father and emperor make mistakes, Gu would never let him go."
