The fourth master came out of the Zhang family's house and went all the way to Wenchang Pavilion with the guards.

The streets are especially lively today. The more you get to Wenchang Pavilion, the more difficult it is to move an inch. Although pedestrians will avoid those who dare to ride horses in Baoding Mansion at this time, the streets are too crowded and it is difficult to avoid.

The fourth master had no choice but to pull the horse and frown at the crowded crowd in front of him.

The guard behind him stepped forward and said, "Long live the news that I want to discuss the Tao with the students in Wenchang Pavilion has spread, and the people in the vicinity have arrived. ”

It's already mid-March, and it's getting hotter and hotter. The sun is roasting overhead, the crowd is crowded, and the smell is inevitably foul.

The fourth master was a little annoyed, and asked the crowd to block here, and it would break if he missed the hour for a while. The emperor has arrived, and seeing that he has not arrived, it can't be solved with a wrench.

But it is not possible to ask the guards to drive away the crowd, the emperor clearly wants to give grace to Baoding Mansion, and asking him to rush this time is to smear the emperor's face.

In a dilemma.

Someone behind him suddenly shouted: "Fourth! ”

As soon as he turned around, it turned out to be the king of Zhijun, and he said, "I saw that you hadn't arrived yet, so I knew that you were blocked here." ”

Looking at the crowd of people who were still pouring in in front of him and going to Wenchang Pavilion, King Zhijun sighed: "These people are crazy. "Just being able to see the emperor from afar, maybe being able to read your own articles in front of the emperor can make so many people crazy.

He is also a response in the army, and sometimes he feels that he has a lot of power in his hands. But looking at it now, he suddenly felt that he was too arrogant in the past. All the powers he has are given by the emperor, and the armies he can command will also obey the commands of others. But the will of the people is uncontrollable.

The people don't know what the emperor looks like, what he says, or what kind of person he is, they don't know at all. They only knew that this was the emperor, so they were willing to kneel down and kowtow for him.

Fools.

What an easy liliang to get. No wonder the Han people's books say that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. Because the hearts of the people are easy to get. The White Lotus Sect demagogies the people, because they are easily gullible, as long as it is beneficial to believe in religion, give rice, noodles and silver, they will believe in religion. will follow the man-made rebellion.

If he gives a hundred men food and silver, he may only gain the reputation of a good man. But what if he could give a million people bread and silver? He will get an army. If there are 10 million people, then he can tear the earth and seal the king, and rule the world with the emperor.

A wildfire surged in the heart of King Zhijun, he looked at the crowd in front of him in a complicated way, and said to the fourth master: "Let's go, fourth." Let's go around from behind. ”

The fourth master and the king of Zhijun finally made a mistake and rushed to Wenchang Pavilion in time.

The king of Zhijun was ordered to come to Wenchang Pavilion first, and today the emperor is coming, and yesterday the Imperial Forest Army came in, guarding inside and outside. Zuihou, the king of Naojun, took a look and called the leader to ask.

The fourth master came here as an ornament. There was also the ninth master who was furnished with him, and after he arrived, it took half an hour before he saw the ninth master, who was covered in sweat, and scolded when he came in: "The people outside are rushing to reincarnate!" ”

The king of Zhijun shouted: "Lao Jiu!" I don't think you want to live anymore!! Go out and kneel!! ”

Jiu Ye has also lost his head in the past few days, and he woke up as soon as he lost his mouth just now, and was scolded by the king of Zhijun, and his face couldn't go down, red and white for a while. But there are not only a few brothers in the palace, there are the fourth, there are some soldiers and ministers, and now these people are all hanging their heads and pretending to be stupid.

King Zhijun's eyes widened, and he pressed the handle of the waist knife with one hand: "Why, your eldest brother can't call you anymore?" ”

The ninth master is not so stupid, he just feels faceless. Hearing this, he bowed his head and said, "It's my brother's fault, my brother will go out, and my eldest brother will be angry." ”

After saying that, he turned around and went out. The little dog didn't come in with him just now, so he went to get a mat when he heard the movement, and when he saw that Jiu Ye had picked a place to kneel, he hurriedly put the mat on.

Jiu Ye gritted his teeth, kicked the mat away, and knelt down on the bare ground.

If he had told the emperor what he had said just now, he would have to peel off a layer of his skin. When the third child was a good county king, he lost it because he shaved his head more. He didn't even have the title left to the emperor, and it was impossible for him not to shed his skin if something really happened.

The king of Zhijun punished him, although it hurt his face, it was also for his good.

The Ninth Master understood, and he decided to use bitter meat.

After kneeling for a little half an hour, I heard the sound of long live from the mountains outside Wenchang Pavilion, wave after wave.

The emperor has arrived.

The ninth master quickly knelt straight, but in addition to Banzai, there was also Chitose.

When the fourth master heard this call, his face changed, and he looked at the king of Zhijun without moving, and he asked, "Big brother, did the prince come with the emperor?" ”

King Zhijun nodded.

The emperor didn't call the prince out on the day he entered the city, but at this time he brought the prince over.

The fourth master sighed secretly, and said in his heart, it was nothing more than because the students of the Han people valued the prince more.

But no matter what he thought, the shouts of a thousand years old outside Wenchang Pavilion still made people's hearts tremble.

The three imperial elder brothers in the cabinet, when they heard this 'Chitose', they all had mixed tastes.

After a while, the emperor and the crown prince came in one after another. To the surprise of the fourth master, the emperor was closer, and it was not the crown prince who supported the emperor, but the thirteenth.

Everyone avoided it, and after the emperor returned to his seat, the king of Zhijun took the lead, and everyone knelt down and kowtowed, shouting long live.

King Zhijun thought that the emperor would see that Lao Jiu was not there, so he would come out again and tell the matter lightly. The ninth master kneeling outside the pavilion also pricked up his ears to listen to the movement in the pavilion, just now the emperor and a group of people came in, he was afraid that people would see him kneeling here, it would be too embarrassing.

At this time, as soon as the emperor asked, he went in and kowtowed to ask for a crime, and quickly turned over the matter.

Thinking of this, Jiu Ye couldn't help but slap himself in the mouth, calling this mouth cheap!

The little dog saw that his ninth master actually slapped himself in the mouth, and his surprised eyes were about to fall out.

But the ninth master waited and waited, and the emperor inside didn't ask about him!

Kangxi slowly swept around and said with a smile: "It's all here, so let's start?" After speaking, he looked at the master of the Hanlin Academy on the right, and said with a smile: "Ding Aiqing, go." ”

Ding Taishi took the order and left, and the rest of the people were waiting for the students of Baoding Mansion to come in, Kangxi was talking to people, and the fourth master saw that the king of Zhijun didn't know what to do.

King Zhijun was completely stunned, he didn't want to interrupt the emperor now, because he didn't know if the emperor had deliberately forgotten Lao Jiu.

I knew that I wouldn't ask him to kneel outside, kneel here, and the emperor would be able to see him when he came in.

The two brothers looked at each other, and they couldn't do anything about the current situation. To put it mildly, after a while, the student came in and saw Lao Jiu kneeling outside, but this person was getting bigger and bigger.

Although he said the wrong thing, the words are divided into two ends, and others can also say that the king of Zhijun punished too much, and he was suspected of bullying his younger brother.

Lao Jiu is not an obedient and knowledgeable person, if he really kneels outside all the time, he will definitely hate King Zhijun and him. The fourth master knows in his heart, and Lao Jiu will definitely take him too.

That's bad luck.

The fourth master breathed lightly, and the person came as he spoke. There are not many people sent in by Baoding Fuxue, only seven people in total.

Come in and kowtow, and the emperor will give you a seat. Let's talk about the book first, and then ask them to make an article, and then Emperor Zuihou will pick a pleasing one and ask two sentences.

Except for the emperor and the students, everyone else is a foil.

The fourth master knew that there was no place for him to speak here, and he had a serious face from beginning to end. The emperor listened carefully, he was also serious, the emperor told them to laugh, and he laughed too.

All of these students read stupid books, and none of them really learned. Just listen to it, everyone is full of spirit, and what they say is the truth written in the book. You must know that the last thing in this world is reason.

Therefore, what he doesn't like to use the most are these students who are too high-spirited, and the DPRK and China must first sharpen the roots of these prime ministers before they dare to use them, otherwise they will only cause trouble wherever they are put and will not succeed.

After the emperor asked, he called for tea to moisten his throat, and said with a smile: "It's rare to see you, if there is a haode article, you can also read it and listen to it." ”

This is to ask the students to submit their papers directly in front of the emperor. The students who had just been tested by the emperor were sweating on their foreheads and lost their confidence, and they were all excited at this time.

Several people looked at each other, they were all classmates in the same college, and they knew how many catties and taels they had between each other.

The fourth master also smiled and took a sip of tea, knowing that this matter was almost over. He looked at the sky, and it was already in the west, about four o'clock in the afternoon. I was stunned for a moment when I thought of this, and then I laughed again. ...... with vegetarian strips He also began to get used to Western timekeeping.

As soon as he was distracted, he suddenly ran away, and he thought of Lao Jiu outside, and wondered if he was still kneeling. He gave King Zhijun a look, and King Zhijun nodded, kneeling is enough until now, and it is not appropriate to ask him to kneel to the end. At least when this group of students finish memorizing their articles, before the emperor leaves, Lao Jiu wants to come over and kowtow, right?

The king of Zhijun covered his face with a cup, glanced at the person behind him, and swept his gaze to the place where Lao Jiu knelt outside, and the person quietly went out.

At this time, the king of Zhijun breathed a sigh of relief.

He secretly scolded in his heart, it was Lao Jiu who was cheap, and he was punished for this punishment, and he was also taken to the ditch.

Thankfully, it's almost over.

Looking at the ministers present, there are not a few who have empty eyes and stiff faces. When only Zuihou was left, everyone couldn't help but show a relaxed attitude.

The order of the students is naturally from the highest to the bottom, and the lower the ranking, the worse the learning.

Even after listening to the first few people, Kangxi was a little tired, and he took the tea and didn't care much about the sixth one.

The sixth person didn't answer the emperor's question very well just now, and he originally wanted to turn the tables in Zuihou, but he was hit by everyone's performance.

But the emperor and the ministers did not intend to pick out any rare talents from among them, and the trip to Wenchang Pavilion showed that the emperor's love for the world is more significant.

In that case, the crowd was in no mood to pretend to them. It's okay to have talent, but it's not worth mentioning if you're talented.

Seeing this, this person was really unwilling to waste an opportunity for zuihou, and after he came out of the ranks, he didn't submit an article to the emperor, but knelt down to the emperor first, and then knelt down to the prince, and then held his article nervously to the prince, and stammered: "Student...... Student Tao Xinhui, begging His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for guidance!! ”

The fourth master sat up straight unconsciously, and the emperor, from the emperor to the ministers, were stunned.

The prince also didn't expect it. But he didn't hesitate, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then Gu will take a look." Huang Ama, this man is interesting, haha. ”

Kangxi also smiled: "Your knowledge is solid, your teacher only told me before leaving Beijing, and your last two fu are well written." He looked at the student and said, "In that case, you can show him." ”

After the prince respectfully listened to what Kangxi said, he sat down again, and Ah Bao took the student's article and inspected it before it was handed to the prince.

The prince looked at it and said to the man, "You can start talking." ”

Under the excitement of this person, his thoughts flowed. While listening to him, the prince read his article, and when he heard Xing, he talked to him about a thing or two, and this person was even more excited! After talking for more than half an hour in one breath, Ding Taishi saw that there was another person behind him, and more importantly, the prince and this person were talking lively, but asked the emperor to sit on a cold bench!

The emperor was already rubbing his temples tiredly.

Ding Taishi hurriedly took advantage of the time and interjected: "It's really rare, I didn't expect His Highness to get a thousand-mile horse here!" ”

The prince smiled, the man listened to Ding Taishi's words, thinking that he had finally been appreciated by the prince and Ding Taishi, so he excitedly knelt down and kowtowed a few times, and shouted directly to the prince: "The student is not talented, I am willing to follow His Royal Highness, and be willing to be a dog and a horse!" ”

There was silence in the hall.

Since this person ran out to offer an article, the fourth master has been nervous, and when he heard this, he wanted to go up and unscrew this person and hand it over to the guards!

He wouldn't have been sent to deliberately frame the crown prince, would he?

The atmosphere in the hall was so tense that even Ding Taishi couldn't speak.

The crown prince suddenly got up, got up and personally helped the person, and said with relief: "You have such a heart to serve the court, it is really a blessing for loneliness, and it is a blessing for the country." ”

He took this person to kneel down in front of Kangxi, kowtowed, and said: "Huang Ama, I have such students who are loyal to the country in the Qing Dynasty, why worry about the Qing Dynasty?" ”

All the people in the palace left their seats and knelt down, and shouted together: "Long live the emperor, the Qing Dynasty will last forever!" ”

The fourth master knelt down and kowtowed, and the big stone in his heart finally fell.

Kangxi sat on the throne with mixed feelings. He glanced at the prince kneeling below, as well as the stunned student. Those who kneel below are sincerely kowtowing, because they are afraid that I will cut off their heads in anger or hold a grudge against them.

But the student who presented the essay to the prince was also sincere. He didn't see that I would be appreciated here, so he simply went to the prince.

After all, the crown prince is the king of tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Kangxi only felt that his whole person was like a rotten piece of wood, which would soon turn to ashes under the sun.

He's old.

The author has something to say: good night everyone, see you tomorrow
