Chapter 1657 The Man in the Mountains, Marries the Young Lady (One Hundred Eight)

For Emperor Yuwen, Lai Zesheng is a person who can be adjusted and taught.

This will be the sharpest knife, a weapon that can literally be pierced into others.

The meaning is different from Han Yun, that is the brother who accompanied him for ten years.

And Lai Zesheng will become a cold, ruthless weapon that seals his throat at the sight of blood.

Even if this person can't meet Emperor Yuwen's requirements, he can give up.

He will not be distressed, and will not have other emotions.

Therefore, Emperor Yuwen gave Lai Zesheng a chance.

In the imperial examination, he was handpicked by Emperor Yuwen as the No. 1 scholar. In the original plot, the No. 1 scholar was Tanhua, and Wang Qingjie was the second place.

In this palace test, Emperor Yuwen arranged positions for the three of them.

Wang Qingjie was assigned to a small county in the south of the Yangtze River and became the county magistrate.

Jiangnan is a rich place, and it is also the place that Emperor Yuwen was most interested in.

Although Wang Qingjie was assigned to a small county as the county magistrate.

However, because of this experience, he broadened his horizons and studied literature more deeply.

When he was doing things for the people, he did not forget to read thousands of books.

It also made him the number one Confucian official in the Yuan and Song Dynasties in the future.

Tanhua was also sent outside the capital to serve as an official.

Only Lai Zesheng was left in the capital, and was sent to the Ministry of Punishment by Emperor Yuwen, becoming the fifth-rank Shaoqing of the Ministry of Punishment.

As soon as Emperor Yuwen opened his mouth, all civil and military officials were shocked.

Several officials even came out against it.

Lai Zesheng was also stunned when he heard Emperor Yuwen's words.

However, he quickly reacted.

Ignoring those ministers who objected, went to the center of the hall and knelt down to thank the emperor.

Emperor Yuwen was very satisfied with this.

...

When it was reported from Beijing that Wang Qingjie was second in the high school rankings, Wang Ergou and Mrs. Liu were still busy in the restaurant.

It just so happened that on this day, Mi Youning came to the restaurant to settle the bills, and Han Yun happened to accompany her.

The Beijing officials who came to announce the good news drove straight to Zuixian Tower to announce the good news.

When the horse was galloping, he saw Zuixianlou opening his mouth and shouting.

"Congratulations to Lai Zesheng High School champion in Luoyang City, Lai Zesheng High School champion, congratulations to Luoyang City Wang Qingjie High School No. 2, Wang Qingjie High School No. 2..."

Wang Ergou was keeping accounts on the table of the restaurant, when he heard shouts from outside the door.

He didn't hear clearly at first, but Mi Youning and Han Yun heard clearly the first time.

The two looked at each other with a smile in their eyes.

"Congratulations to Lai Zesheng, the No. 1 student in Luoyang City, and Wang Qingjie, the No. 2 student in High School..."

This time Wang Ergou heard clearly, he opened his eyes wide, and he dropped the brush on the table.

"Qingjie, Qingjie has won?" He looked at Mi Youning for confirmation.

However, before Mi Youning could speak, the Beijing official had already dismounted and stepped into the restaurant.

"Where is Wang Qingjie's family?"

"Here, here..." Wang Ergou walked out excitedly.

The surrounding guests also stopped eating because of this change.

"Wang Qingjie ranked second in high school, and is now sent to XX County in the south of the Yangtze River to accept his fate as the county magistrate..."

When the Beijing official spoke, everyone knew that the son of the boss of Zuixianlou was the second in high school.

When Wang Ergou nodded excitedly, Mi Youning and Han Yun walked over.

She put a bulging purse into the hands of the Beijing official who announced the good news.

At the same time, he asked, "I just heard you say that Lai Zesheng was the number one student in high school?"

The man took Mi Youning's money with a bright smile on his face.

"Exactly, Lord Lai is now the fifth-rank Shaoqing of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Your Excellency said that you can announce the good news with Lord Wang (Wang Qingjie) in the same place."

Hearing his words, Mi Youning's face changed, with a little emotion in his eyes, and he winked at Han Yun beside him.

The latter immediately returned to the counter and took out another bag of silver.
