Chapter 1232 Going to a brothel to listen to music?
"It is my duty as a son to share my father's worries."
What could Shen Yian do? He had to pay the money obediently.
Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are just a small amount of money for him now.
He vaguely guessed the old man's intention.
Asking him to pay money to the Ministry of Rites was simply to make him pay more attention to the Spring Examination.
Moreover, if anyone dares to have any ideas about the money, it would be equivalent to indirectly offending him. Given his character, he will definitely not let it go and will settle accounts with them afterwards.
Kill three birds with one stone. The old man really treats him as a "tool man".
"What do you think of the newly appointed Minister of Revenue, Du Zhu?"
Shen Cangtian nodded and continued to ask.
"My Lord, I have not been to court for a long time. Since he is valued by you, he must have some outstanding qualities."
Shen Yian answered mellowly.
"Well, I have decided that the third and fifth brothers will be in charge of the examination, and Du Zhu will be in charge of the execution. What do you think?"
Shen Cangtian's expression straightened and he said seriously.
Even though there are only a few days left before the imperial examination begins.
With good coordination and arrangements among various departments, the arrangements can be completed in two days at most, and we can wait for the examination to begin.
As for the questions for the imperial examination, he had already decided on the candidates. The questions would be set by Prime Minister He Fangyi, Wensheng's disciple Zhou Xiu, and three famous scholars in Tianwu City.
Once the topic is decided, it will be handed directly to the Wuweisi, who will send it to the palace and choose the topic.
After choosing the questions, the Wuwei Division will send you to the examination room.
The entire process has been simplified as much as possible, even the Ministry of Rites and other departments have been directly omitted, and all are handled by the Wuwei Division, in order to prevent too many people from accessing the test questions, which would lead to the questions being leaked.
After all, there are always some guys who will choose to take risks when it comes to interests. When there is absolute interest, there is nothing they dare not do.
Even in his own Wuwei Division, the people responsible for escorting the test questions were carefully selected.
Shen Yian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The old man chose Du Zhu to support the third and fifth brothers, so that if any problems arise, he can help correct them.
But if the problem is not solved well, the blame will be on Du Zhu.
If it succeeds, the greatest credit will naturally go to the third and fifth brothers, and if anything bad happens, it will be Du Zhu who will take the blame.
What's even more cruel about the old man's move is that he dragged him into the water as well.
The money spent on the imperial examination was donated by him to the Ministry of Rites, and he became the knife on Du Zhu's neck in disguise.
Just like what I said just now, if there is a scandal of favoritism and fraud during the examination, the old man will definitely give him the power to wield the sword.
Whether to swing the knife or not depends entirely on him.
If he waved his hand, it would only result in the death of a Minister of Rites.
If he didn't wave, he would be giving Du Zhu a chance to be reborn. As long as the other party is not a heartless person, he will definitely remember this favor.
When he thought about it this way, he felt like the old man was paving the way for him.
But this paved road is a bit prickly to walk on.
It's just the death of a Minister of Rites...
Shen Yi'an smiled bitterly in his heart.
This is the court, the center of the vortex of power.
Everyone keeps moving forward, and no one cares too much about those who fall down.
"It's all up to my father to make the decision."
Gathering all his thoughts, Shen Yian bowed respectfully.
"Okay, Zhao Hai, go ahead and pass on my order to let them enter the palace."
Shen Cangtian immediately waved his hand.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhao Hai, who was waiting nearby, hurried out of the imperial study to make arrangements.
"Father, regarding the imperial examination, I have some ideas that I hope you can adopt."
Shen Yian bowed.
"Go ahead."
Shen Cangtian cast a curious look at him.
Shen Yian told him everything he was thinking at school at that time.
Although this is troublesome, it can do its best to reduce the possibility of candidates bringing cheat sheets into the exam.
Moreover, the entire examination room must be isolated and set up to prevent experts from remotely transmitting messages to candidates to cheat.
These ideas will certainly add considerable expenses to the original plan of the Ministry of Rites.
But he is the one paying for everything, so why should we worry about the money?
In response, Shen Cangtian said that there was no problem and agreed with his idea.
In the previous imperial examination, he had thought about what Shen Yian had thought.
However, there is great resistance in implementation, and the test questions may have been leaked before the test, so it is useless to do these things.
Now, after cleaning up a large number of insects, even if several ministers in the court quarreled over something, he didn't find it as irritating as before.
Shen Yian is now looking forward to the results of the investigation from Hidden Disasters. Will the candidate who has an old man with him be the one with "divine luck" in the world?
Ever since the so-called great era came, the entire world has become more and more interesting.
Especially when looking from today's height, it feels like having a God's perspective, overlooking all living beings.
Moreover, he had made another discovery yesterday. After thinking about it carefully, he thought that the old man should also know about it, so in order to avoid assigning him any more tasks, he did not mention it.
In the past two days, there have been not only candidates from other places coming to Tianwu City, but also a group of people from the martial arts world.
Most of them are young and powerful. They are scattered around the city, not causing trouble or making any disturbances. It seems that they are preparing for something.
In response to this, he asked Mendu to arrange someone to find out in the morning whether there were any activities or gatherings in the city recently.
Why do I feel like a lot of things happen as soon as I return to Tianwu City?
Shen Yian sighed inwardly. He would have to stay for another day tomorrow, but he didn't know what task Mr. Yi would assign him.
In addition, the puppets of "Chishan" and "Yin Peng" have been completed, but need to be tested. He believes in Guimian's professionalism and level.
In the imperial study room.
The matter of the imperial examination was quickly discussed. The specific expenses would have to wait for Shen Siyue, Shen Tengfeng, Du Zhu and others to arrive before we can discuss it. Someone would then deliver the bill to the Prince of Chu's mansion.
Regarding Shen Luonian's marriage, he has not mentioned it to the old man for the time being. He would rather confirm the situation of the woman first.
The father and son chatted for a few more sentences, and Shen Cangtian decided to let Shen Yian leave.
Shen Yian also knew that once the three people arrived, his presence would make the atmosphere awkward, so he left very decisively.
The main reason is that I’m afraid that the old man will remember something and make him bleed again.
After leaving the palace, it was still early, far from noon.
Hidden Disaster is still investigating that candidate.
Li Yan accompanied Qiu Lanlan and the others to go shopping. It was not appropriate to disturb girls while they were shopping, but there was nothing to do if she returned to the palace alone.
Go to a brothel to listen to music?
Cough cough, forget it, I’m a serious person.
After thinking it over, Shen Yian decided to go to a teahouse to listen to storytelling. He didn't know what interesting stories contemporary "authors" would make up under the influence of his random "stories".
It was boring to go and listen to storytelling alone, so he simply went back to the palace and took Li Xue, who was left at home, to the teahouse.
"Sir, our teahouse is small, it's not convenient to bring this puppy in, please..."
