"Your Highness, in your opinion, how did the Shushe people have today's status and identity?" Li Mengji asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Naturally, it was given by my father." The second prince said as a matter of course.

"Yes, the glory of all people in Great Xia is tied to one person, as long as His Majesty likes it, even if he is a beggar, many powerful people will treat him as a guest, and all this comes from His Majesty's love. So, where did the Shushe people start and get the love of His Majesty? Li Mengji induced step by step.

"The rise of Shushe people started from the palace test." The second prince's eyebrows moved, and he vaguely understood Li Mengji's words.

"Your Highness is right, the Shushe people were from the palace test, so that His Majesty noticed him, and it was also from that time that the career of the Shushe people was smooth sailing, straight to the clouds." Li Mengji said slowly.

"What is the purpose of this, sir?" The second prince frowned and asked.

"Your Highness, if the Shushe people were above the spring in the previous subject and did not get the Jinshi, what would happen now? If the Shushe people were admitted to the Jinshi examination, but in the temple examination, they did not make that policy, what would happen now? Li Mengji asked with a smile.

The second prince clapped his hands excitedly, "What Mr. said is reasonable, if Shu Hongxuan didn't get the Jinshi exam, who would recognize him in Beijing?" If he hadn't made a strategy that suited his father's appetite, he would have been just a struggling scholar in the Hanlin Academy. ”

"Yes, the root of all this is that the Shushe people shined on the spring and made a very appreciative of His Majesty's appetite in the palace examination, coupled with his age and appearance, this is the reason why he is deeply loved by His Majesty." Li Mengji said slowly.

The second prince asked tentatively: "According to what Mr. said, is your clever plan ......?"

Li Mengji looked at the second prince with burning eyes, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Your Majesty will look at Shushe people so differently, just because he is young and knowledgeable, if Your Highness has a confidant, you also have such an age, you also have such knowledge, and you also shine in the spring and palace examinations, do you think Your Majesty will value this person?" ”

"It's hard." The second prince quickly shook his head, "It's very difficult to gather these conditions. Not to mention age and knowledge, just to say that in the spring and palace examinations, it is too difficult to be like Shu Hongxuan, even in the three yuan. ”

Since ancient times, there have been very few three elements and the first one. The first place in the township test is Xie Yuan, the first place in the general examination is Hui Yuan, and the first place in the palace test is the champion.

Emperor Taizu of Great Xia divided the world into fifteen provinces, each of which had dozens of state capitals, and each state capital had dozens of prefectures and counties.

The first place in the township test is to compete for the first place among students in dozens of state capitals; The first place in the examination is to compete for the first place in the national examination, and the first place in the palace examination is to compete for the first place in all the jinshi of that department in that year.

It can be said that every first place can only be won by stepping on the knowledge of many people, which is as simple as Li Mengji's mouth is closed up and down, there is such a simple reason as being the first.

"Your Highness, in fact, you have the ability to make it easy for people to shine in the Spring Festival and the palace examination." Li Mengji said with deep meaning.

"Your Highness, you forgot someone, Mei Shangshu ......"

The second prince's pupils shrank, and it was obvious that after Li Mengji said this, he understood what he meant.

"Bang"

The second prince slapped the book case heavily, and his face became gloomy, "Li Mengji, do you know what you said?" Are you guilty? ”

The second prince no longer called Li Mengji Mr. as before, but called him by his first name.

Li Mengji immediately stood up, bowed down respectfully, lowered his posture, and was sincerely frightened on his face, "Your Highness, Meng Ji is just worrying about His Highness, this is what Meng Ji thought of, and it is the most beneficial way for His Highness." ”

Li Mengji was calm and abnormal in his heart, different from the panic on his face, he had been by this highness for many years, and he had already figured out the character of this highness, don't look at him just slapped the table, and he spoke politely, if he was really thunderous and angry, he would not tell him so much at all, nor would he ask him if he was guilty, but only let people control him, and if he remembered the old love, he would leave him alive and be imprisoned forever, and if he was ruthless and did not miss the old love, he would not see the sun for many days.

Before he spoke, he was uneasy, and after he spoke, he waited quietly, waiting for him to live or die, and now it seemed that his life had been saved.

This highness, now the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, as long as he works harder, it may not make his heart move.

There was silence in the study, and there was a suffocating atmosphere.

Li Mengji's waist was bent even more and his head was lowered to show his submission.

I don't know how long it took, Li Mengji had already stood until his feet began to go numb, before he heard a voice from above.

"Sit's down, sir."

Li Mengji's heart was relieved, knowing that the most difficult part had passed.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Mengji clenched his fists and arched his hands before sitting down on the chair.

"Sir, tell me what you are going to do." The second prince said lightly, and in his tone, he couldn't hear any other emotions.

"Your Royal Highness, Mei Shangshu is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the Spring Festival after two months is presided over by the Ministry of Rites.

In addition to the questions of the palace examination in the previous subject, which was personally proposed by His Majesty, in the past, the palace examination strategy theory was instructed by His Majesty to several of the six cabinet ministers to come up with the questions, and then His Majesty selected the topics from them to make the questions of the palace examination strategy theory. If the ministers come up with a question that His Majesty does not like, His Majesty will personally come up with the question.

Whether it is the spring festival held in the Gongyuan or the palace test, it is presided over by the Ministry of Rites, as long as Mei Shangshuken cooperates, we can hold out a person who is not inferior to the Shushe people, and even replacing the Shushe people is no longer a utopia. ”

Li Mengji said slowly, he said, while carefully observing the expression of the second prince, seeing that it seemed that his words did not have the expected effect, he thought about it and dropped a bomb,

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is still healthy now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not wrong, the fifth prince wants to marry the sister of Shusheren, and the five princes stand firmly beside His Royal Highness the Prince...... If Your Majesty doesn't have any of us by your side, I'm afraid you will be late for everything in the future! Not to mention, the maternal ancestors of the third prince and the fourth prince are still one of the six ministers.

Your Highness, the time is not with me! ”

The second prince was shocked in his heart, yes, if you don't have time with me, if you don't act, you will miss the opportunity.

He patted the book case hatefully, and the lack of a strong grandfather family was a regret that he had always had.

The second prince lowered his head, and the light in his eyes was uncertain.

After a long while, he raised his head and asked, "Even if there is Mei Shangshu's help, what about the person who replaces the Shushe people?" If there is no one who can stand side by side with the Shushe people, it is just an empty talk. ”

"Your Highness, have you forgotten that Shangjing is as beautiful as a jade Xie Gongzi?"
