Chapter 335
Xiao Hanzheng actually thought about it on the way back.
He replied: "There was no Enke this time."
Then the conversation changed: "But in the autumn festival at the end of the year, the champion's surname is Zhuo, and she is probably her."
He didn't participate in the next imperial examination in his last life, but after becoming an official, he read the examination papers for nearly a dozen years, so he was somewhat impressed by the surname of the champion of each session.
Shi Qingluo thought about it and asked, "She didn't serve as an official in Kyoto?"
Xiao Hanzheng shook his head, "No, it's likely to be transferred abroad."
He thought about it carefully again, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, the prefect of Beicheng was named Zhuo later, and I don't know if it was her."
Although he participated in the army and fought in the northern Xinjiang, he soon went directly to the capital, so he never met the prefect of Beicheng himself.
However, I have heard of Zhuo Zhifu, which has a very good reputation in the northern Xinjiang.
Shi Qingluo touched his chin, "When she was the prefect, was King Jin still there?"
Xiao Hanzheng shook his head, "At that time King Jin had already been executed, and Zhuo Zhifu was brought up later."
Shi Qingluo said: "I always feel that her identity should not be so simple."
"By the way, could she be a spy from the country of Ge or something?"
"Or was it left over from the previous dynasty?"
Before reading novels or TV dramas, usually women dressed as men in ancient times, didn't they all have a bloody life experience?
Not to mention, the previous royal family is still very likely.
When a woman disguises herself as a man, isn't it to hide her identity?
And then to participate in the imperial examination again, there is also a plan.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be good to be an ordinary person quietly? Why risk a big deal to come to the imperial examination.
Xiao Hanzheng couldn't hold back his suspicions when his little wife said so.
He nodded, "It's not that there's no such possibility. I found out that there is no problem, so it may not be really a problem."
Sometimes the things he finds are likely to be arranged by others long ago. After all, he has limited manpower in Northern Xinjiang.
Shi Qingluo thought about it for a while and suggested, "Old Xiao, I think you should tell the emperor about this."
"Your manpower is limited, you might as well leave it to the emperor to investigate."
"Now, Daliang is already suffering from internal and external troubles. If there is another spy, or people from the previous dynasty make trouble, it will not be more troublesome."
The tyrannical people of the previous dynasty were displaced, so they were overthrown.
The current king of Daliang is striving to govern, not only with the world, but also with the people in his heart.
Therefore, Shi Qingluo still hopes to live a stable and stable life in Daliang, but he does not want to get someone from the previous dynasty to come out and overthrow the Daliang royal family.
Or the civil war is over and the civil war is over, and it is the common people who suffer in this way.
Xiao Hanzheng didn't expect to tell the emperor directly about this before, and let the emperor's people investigate.
Instead, I was thinking about how to directly send someone to intensify the investigation to see if something was wrong.
That's the way it's going to be very slow to check.
But after listening to the little daughter-in-law's words, he immediately understood.
"Yes, this matter should indeed be investigated by the emperor."
The emperor's eyeliner in northern Xinjiang is not ordinary, after all, he has to stare at King Jin who may rebel at any time.
So let the emperor send someone to investigate, and it is estimated that the results will be available soon.
Shi Qingluo asked, "Then when are you going to tell the emperor? Do you need Xi Rong to help with a message?"
Xiao Hanzheng thought for a while, "No, let's not talk about it, wait until the palace test."
"Otherwise, those who didn't know would think that I was afraid of Zhuo Jun's strength and wanted to pull her down."
"Even if I tell the emperor that it will take time for him to send someone to investigate, Zhuo Jun won't be able to change the jinshi examination."
He knew the emperor's temper very well, and he would definitely not act rashly without investigating the identity of Zhuo Jun.
When Shi Qingluo thought about it, he was right, "Well, after the banquet, you can find a chance to talk to the emperor."
Two days later, a banquet was held in the palace.
Xiao Hanzheng entered the palace early in the morning.
The emperor had already read the top ten exam papers selected by the examiners, and he also knew the number one ranking in his heart.
Soon, all the candidates who participated in the palace exam were brought to the main hall.
Everyone immediately saluted, "See the emperor, long live my emperor! Long live!"
The emperor raised his hand, "Be flat!"
In addition to the emperor, ministers are also present.
Even Xiao Yuanshi, who had been staying at home to reflect, was called into the palace.
Sitting not far away, he saw his eldest son among the hundreds of candidates at a glance.
No way, Xiao Hanzheng is too outstanding regardless of his appearance and temperament. If he can see it in the crowd, people can't help but pay attention to that.
The emperor first said a few words of encouragement, and then let the eunuch read the imperial edict.
The names of the top three places in the first grade are written on it, and the ranking of the second grade is determined according to the ranking of the examiners' previous grades.
The eunuch took the imperial decree and began to recite, and the candidates present were all nervous.
Xiao Hanzheng is not nervous, he is still confident in taking the top three.
If nothing else, he may be the champion.
Sure enough, after the eunuch read the decree, Xiao Hanzheng was the top-ranked champion.
The second place is a forty-year-old son of an aristocratic family.
The third flower is Zhuo Jun.
Xi Xinheng and several people heard Xiao Hanzheng
The high school champion couldn't help but smile.
This Xiao Hanzheng is really amazing. Not only is he the champion in high school, but he is also the first 3rd and 3rd since the beginning of the Liang Dynasty.
Then came the biography of the first place in the second division, and began to sing the ranks and names of the following middle jinshi.
This time Qi Yiyang played well, and he advanced a few places compared to the time of the meeting, and ranked thirteenth in the total.
This made Old Master Qi and Second Master Qi always have happy smiles on their faces.
Xiao Yuanshi's smile was very stiff, especially after finding that many people were casting sympathy, ridicule, ridicule, and gloating glances at him, he couldn't sit still.
The emperor did this on purpose, calling him to witness with his own eyes the high school champion of his son who abandoned him.
At this time, his heart was very uncomfortable, and his regret was even more aggravated.
If there is no divorce, the champion is Xiao Yuanshi's son.
It's a pity that regret is useless, so he wants to go home quickly, but he can't stand it.
Next, the emperor had a conversation with the top three of Yijia alone.
The courtiers present could see that the emperor obviously liked and valued Xiao Hanzheng, and asked Xiao Hanzheng a lot of questions about people's livelihood.
The man in second place was jealous, but he didn't dare to show it.
Zhuo Jun did not show jealousy and envy, but seemed happy for his friend.
Next is a three-person parade.
Xiao Hanzheng was riding on a big horse, his face was as beautiful as jade, which made many of the girls who were watching blush.
"This year's champion is really handsome!"
"This champion looks too good."
"It's a pity to hear that the champion is already married, otherwise the princess would be afraid of getting married."
"Are you already married? That's a pity."
"Married, it's the lady of Shi who offered the seeds before."
"It turned out to be Mrs. Shi, but she is a good match for the champion."
