Chapter 2227 He is going home to open an academy
The second day of is the day when the new division is awarded.
The students stood on the Zichen Hall again, which was already very different from the uneasiness they had earlier, and more of a high-spirited attitude that they wanted to do a great job.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair and was very satisfied to see the expressions of everyone. This is the first imperial examination held since he ascended the throne, which is of great significance to him.
However, when his eyes fell on Meng Yunzheng, his originally happy expression froze, and he felt a little heartbroken.
Today's appointment of officials is mainly for the top three in the first grade. Although the other jinshi have passed the palace examination, they still have to take the imperial examination. In the end, the one who is good at calligraphy and literature is selected as the Shuji Shi, and the others will be awarded the chief and other official positions.
After all the jinshi came forward and saluted, except for the top three in the top 1, the other jinshi all retreated to the side.
The emperor then glanced at the **** beside him and said, "Let's declare the decree."
The **** opened the imperial decree and said in a loud voice, "Fengtian carries the emperor's system, saying that the Xinke Jinshi is one and two, the Luozhou government is Chu Qiuping, the new division is one and three, and the Shuntian government is Jinlin, and the literary talent is outstanding... Now awarded to the Hanlin Academy editor. , is the seventh grade... I hope you two will do your best, serve the court, be diligent in government and love the people, and I respect this."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Why did the imperial decree only mention second place and third flower, but did not mention Meng Yunzheng, who has been a topical figure these days?
Chu Qiu Ping and Jin Lin were equally suspicious, but they responded in time, taking a few steps forward and kneeling down to thank them.
The emperor nodded, "Get up."
The two got up and retreated again, and the emperor looked at Meng Yunzheng.
However, neither of them said a word. In the huge Zichen Hall, only the breathing of the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty was quiet.
Still Mrs. Qi couldn't help it. He came out of the queue and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, Meng Zhuangyuan, he..."
The emperor raised his hand, "Teacher is in no hurry, I know what you are going to say. Meng Yunzheng's official position, I am also very embarrassed. Why don't you listen to what he means?"
Qi Chan could only put down his hands, frowning and looking at the people in the hall worriedly. What the emperor said last time made Qi Chan think that the emperor and Meng Yunzheng were old acquaintances who had a good relationship, but now the emperor has appointed the other two people, and he is alone, what does it mean?
Meng Yunzheng has already stepped forward and knelt down, "The emperor is very kind, and the minister has owed the emperor's kindness. Please forgive the emperor."
Qi Chan is puzzled, and the others are even more confused. What the heck is going on?
"Meng Zhuangyuan, what do you mean?" Qi Chan asked in a low voice.
Meng Yunzheng raised his head, "I plan to go back to my hometown and build an academy. As the head of the academy, I will teach and educate people and stay away from the court."
"what?!"
Qi Chan turned his head to look at him in amazement.
There was an uproar in the hall. Except for the emperor Xiang Weinan, who knew his own plans, everyone looked at him in shock.
"Yun Zheng, are you crazy?" Yao Tianqin exclaimed in a low voice in disbelief.
Not to mention the officials who paid all sorts of attention to Meng Yunzheng, even some high-ranking officials of the 1st and 2nd rank who didn't take him seriously at first, and had long since cultivated to the point where they would not be surprised when they were in trouble, they couldn't help turning their heads in surprise.
No one can understand Meng Yunzheng's thoughts and practices. He is a top-ranked man with six yuan and rank. He studied hard for many years in Hanchuang and finally achieved fame. Now he wants to go back to be a teacher?
Yao Shilang is right, this person is really crazy.
