But when it was time to go to bed at night, Zhang Heng still felt a little confused about Zhao Zhen's sudden appearance and sudden departure.

Wu Yu didn't understand it at first, but when he handed the selected papers to Zhao Zhen, he suddenly understood.

The papers must be anonymous and re-copied, and then graded by the examiners, and the winning papers are finally selected. Zhi Gongju and Tongzhi Gongju are escorted to Zhao Zhen together, and Zhao Zhen finishes reading them.

Determine the ranking.

Even when you come to the emperor, you have to confirm your ranking before breaking the seal.

In other words, even the emperor did not know who the top pick was before he determined the ranking.

But Wu Yu saw that Zhao Zhen seemed to be reading the test papers very seriously, but when he saw a certain test paper, he showed a secret smile, then put it on the top, wrote the first one with a red pen, and then put the others

Write down the rankings one by one.

The examiners, Hanlin bachelor Nie Guanqing and Wu Yu, quickly copied the rankings. After writing, they asked Zhao Zhen to confirm that there were no problems, and then they opened the seal. As Wu Yu guessed, the first place was Zhang Heng.

However, Wu Yu remained calm and copied down all the names one by one, and finally asked Zhao Zhen to use his seal. This time the imperial examination was finally decided.

Nie Guanqing and Wu Yu left the palace, and then they breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Wu Tongzhi, we passed without any danger this time.

Wu Yu smiled and said: "Congratulations to the bachelor, I will probably be promoted after this."

Nie Guanqing also laughed: "Same joy, Grand Scholar Wu, this matter is over, let's have a drink together."

Wu Yu has not yet been promoted to a bachelor of Hanlin University. Nie Guanqing means: after this tribute examination, you will be promoted to a higher level.

In the Song Dynasty, there were two obvious signals for promotion, one was to revise books, and the other was to become an official.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Wu Yu and Nie Guanqing went to submit their rankings, which will be announced tomorrow. After that, the two of them will be unblocked and can go back to their respective homes.

In the evening, Wu Yu returned home and sighed with his old wife: "Some people are really favored by heaven. Tsk tsk, it's really enviable. In the future, our children will have to look up to them no matter what."

The old wife was startled and quickly asked what was going on, but Wu Yu said nothing.

The more the old wife thought about it, the more surprised she became. Wu Yu's father was Wu Daiwen. He was an official and knew how to make imperial edicts, and his future was limitless. But he was feeling like this. Could it be that that person was the Prime Minister?

However, the old wife’s thinking was wrong, because this time her husband was clearly acquainted with Gongju, so it must be related to Gongju. They were also said to be God’s favor, and they were also said to be heirs, so the future would be later...

The old wife has an idea and will wait until the yellow list is announced tomorrow.

Wu Yu couldn't understand it in his sleep. He couldn't understand that Zhao Zhen would risk such taboos to help Zhang Heng. If the official just admired Zhang Heng, it wouldn't be wrong, right?

But he didn't know that after Zhao Zhen returned to the palace, he wrote a note to Xiao Huang's door and said: "Send it to Xiao Yi Ning."

Xiao Huangmen quickly caught it with both hands, and then hurried away. He left the palace before the palace door closed and went straight to somewhere. When he arrived in front of the big house, the doorman sent him in and met the owner of the house, Lu Yining.

Xiao Huangmen hurriedly said respectfully: "Mother, the official family has a secret message for you."

Lu Yining took over and said: "Okay, you can't go back tonight, so just rest here and come back tomorrow."

Xiao Huangmen was taken to rest by the door. Lu Yining opened the note now, which read: "Xiao Yining, uncle must be rewarded for his merits. Uncle has already given the reward you asked for for him. Let's hear the news tomorrow.

It's just that uncle wants to ask you if you are interested in him. If you are interested, uncle can arrange marriage for you."

Lu Yining spat: "Mind your own business!"

But when he looked at the note, he was lost in thought.

But Zhao Zhen, after writing the note, opened the account book handed over from the internal storage library. The more he looked at it, the more relaxed he became, and he thought to himself:

Little Yi Ning didn't know that I gave Zhang Heng a top pick, haha, it scared her, but this is what Zhang Juzheng deserves, and I also need such talents.

Tsk tsk, one shopping mall, in half a year, has made an extra million in profit for Neizangku. These are just three shopping malls. If there are more than ten shopping malls, wouldn't it be...

Zhao Zhen was delighted.

Zhao Zhen carefully studied the account books and found that the direct profits of the mall were not particularly large, but because the mall promoted other related industries, the profits were even greater.

The Neizangku was already in decline, but due to the drive of the shopping mall, the vitality of dozens of related industries throughout the Neizangku was stimulated.

This is normal, because shopping malls are terminal sales, and because the sales form is very novel and convenient, the huge passenger flow has also driven up the goods that the Neizang warehouse could not sell before. This is how the Neizang warehouse will finally achieve a lot of profits as a whole.

reasons.

And this money also helped Zhao Zhen a lot. Because of the war in the northwest, the treasury was empty, and Zhao Zhen's eyes were almost green. Now that he had nearly one million yuan more money, he suddenly became more relaxed.

Zhao Zhen was very grateful, so after Lu Yining made it clear to him the whole story of the future, Zhao Zhen was very grateful to Zhang Heng and admired Zhang Heng's abilities. Zhao Zhen was also very eager for talents, so he went along with the flow and promoted Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng was promoted to the number one scholar.

Of course, Zhao Zhen also read Zhang Heng's article, and found that it was indeed upright, balanced, thoughtful, and culturally impeccable. No one could fault him for promoting him to the No. 1 Scholar position.

Moreover, Zhang Heng was still the leader of Jieyuan and Huiyuan, and now he has become the number one scholar. This is also a good talk, and it also has an inspiring effect when the current imperial court is in turmoil!

It can be said that it achieves multiple things with one stone.

Zhao Zhen is very satisfied with this. Of course, this joy may come more from the account books he studied, but doesn't it mean the same thing?
Chapter completed!
