Between the two, a delicate relationship between the two is formed. Long Jintian looked at Gu Sangongzi's breezy and strategizing appearance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook. This young man is really interesting. He smelled the same breath from his body, friend and foe. Skimming his head and glancing at Qiao Ge Lao, Qiao Ge Lao's old eyes are indeed getting more and more refined. Being able to find an extraordinary person like Gu Liufei in Jiangnan is indeed a skill. It seems that he still has some gains from this old guy playing in the mountains and rivers and ignoring the government. At least this imperial examination is really worth a lot of money.

"Gu Liufei, I will test you first, if you can't answer my questions one by one, then you will be removed from this imperial examination."

Long Jin's sleeves were bored and flattened, this guy is so unreliable again. Obviously, Gu Liufei looks very pleasing to the eyes, but he wants to make things difficult in public, and he is not afraid that people will hate him at that time.

As soon as Long Jintian's words came out, the candidates present were nervous, but in the midst of the nervousness, there was a hint of excitement. Everyone knows that Gu Sangongzi is the tribute of this Jiangnan Gongyuan, that is, the first among all the candidates. If he can't answer the questions given by the emperor, it means that he won't even be able to get a small sesame official in this imperial examination.

Steward Chen was arranged by Zhao Dagongzi to the forefront, which also made it convenient for Su Zhengkang and Liu Meixiang to talk later. Su Zhengkang touched his nose, and there was a flash of interest in his eyes. raised his arm and bumped the willow eyebrow makeup next to him, full of schadenfreude.

"Gu Sangongzi is really miserable now, if you can't answer, you will fall off the list this time. Originally, no matter how Gong Yuan said, he could also mix with the county magistrate, you can be a wife and a husband, even if you can't be the champion lady, at least you can be a magistrate lady, but now it is estimated that even a magistrate lady will not have your share. ”

Liu Mei raised her eyebrows, standing in the last position is that she doesn't have to squeeze between the scholars, she can stand far away, and no one will notice her little scholar. As for speaking, it will not be heard. Everyone in the temple examination looked at the platform, and she happened to be idle. glanced at Su Zhengkang with contempt, and she wondered, this young master Su didn't stay well in the gentle township all day long, so why did he have to surround her with willow eyebrows. I don't mind if you surround me, the key is that he can't say a good word from his mouth, how can he be so sure that his husband will not be able to answer? It's too early to stand down there and say cool things.

"You're jealous that people can participate in the imperial examination and you can't participate in the imperial examination, right?" She still heard about this. Moreover, Su Zhengkang's talent is not below Liu Ruofeng. She still remembers the poem at the flower banquet clearly. If he participates in the imperial examination, even if there are many talents, and the top three are selected, Su Zhengkang can be mixed with a nine-grade sesame official casually.

Su Zhengkang didn't get angry but laughed, what's so good about being an official, it's okay to hug two beauties, and the people have to say that he is a dumb official, and if he collects some money, he will become a corrupt official, if the case is tried and the prisoner is beaten twice, the prisoner will be said to be a dog official by the prisoner's family. As an official, it is not cost-effective. If he becomes an official, he will not be able to hold beauties as he wants and count silver tickets freely.

"Alas, Miss Liu is still so venomous, this is a disease, and it has to be changed."

"Compared to Young Master Su, my little insect carving skill is simply trivial." Compared with the poisonous tongue, her willow eyebrow makeup is no worse than Su Zhengkang. Glancing at Gu Sangongzi on the stage, she said, "Dare to ask Su Dagongzi, what if Gu Sangongzi answers all of them?" ”

That...... If you answer, you will answer......

Su Zhengkang stopped talking, even if he was stupid, he could see that this emperor seemed to be very interested in Gu Sangongzi. If you answer, this champion position will naturally be in hand. As for Liu Ruofeng, he also has real talent and learning, but he is still a step behind Gu Sangongzi. You must know that Liu Ruofeng, who went to Jiangnan Gongyuan, is not the real Liu Ruofeng, but Miss Liu. Miss Liu didn't know what kind of shit luck she had, but she won the attention with a benevolent character, and even passed the Jiangnan Gongyuan examination.

Liu Mei's eyes are full of confidence, if he answers, he will not be able to run away from this champion position. And even if he can't answer, Gu Sangongzi is still a little marquis, and according to the hereditary system among the marquis, the marquis's family does not need to participate in the imperial examination at all. The marquis's house is generally inherited by the eldest son, but Master Gu has three sons, Gu Hengyi and Gu Xiangyi are just from the aunt, and they are concubines at all. Only Gu Sangongzi is from Master Gu and his wife Mrs. Gu, that is to say, Gu Sangongzi is the best person to inherit the position of Hou Ye. Besides, Master Gu was the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and he only informed the eldest son, and he didn't even know about Gu Hengyi and Gu Xiangyi, which fully showed Master Gu's intention to pass on the throne to Gu Sangongzi.

On the stage, Gu Sangongzi was dressed in white and looked a little outstanding among the candidates. Swaying, the cold appearance is really daunting, I dare not touch it, and it is no wonder that Jiangnan Yashi gave him the word "immortal". In fact, he does deserve these two words.

Looking at Long Jintian on the dragon chair, Gu Sangongzi's lips hooked slightly. The reason why he took the imperial examination was not this, everything was just to hide people's eyes, even if Long Jintian wanted to remove him from this imperial examination, he didn't care at all. He started to be sensible, and what his father gave him was the family's responsibility. The so-called fame and fortune, as far as he is concerned, is just a flash in the pan.

"Please ask the emperor to ask the question."

Long Jintian listened to what he said, and his heart became more and more appreciative. Gu Liufei dared to rise to the occasion, which shows that he is bold, or he may be too conceited, but conceit doesn't have to have conceited capital, doesn't he? In other words, he doesn't look down on the champion position at all. Interesting, very interesting. The imperial examination was originally held for those who had aspirations to serve the imperial court, but now it has become a way for those who want fame and fortune, and a tool for powerful ministers to form gangs and factions to consolidate their power. But Gu Liufei's goal is not at all in the imperial examination. Very good, he also wanted to see what tricks Gu Liufei was playing. Obviously participated in the imperial examination, but he had no interest in it.

"The way I have learned is nothing more than four books and five classics, and I have a general knowledge of governance. Since you are regarded as the first son of Jiangnan, you must be very proficient in it, so I will use these to test you. I lead up, you go down. ”

Long Jintian stood in front of the dragon chair, walked back and forth for two or three steps, his eyes lit up, and he had an idea at the moment, and said: "Zi said: The Tao is not far away, people are far away for the Tao, and they can't be the Tao." ”

Gu Sangongzi didn't care, he was full of confidence, and he raised his head and replied: "The emperor's words are from "The Mean". Shiyun: Vakovake, it's not far away. Holding Ke to Vake, looking at it, is still far away. ”

Being able to answer in a short period of time, and being able to accurately tell the source, made Lu Hou Ye a little impressed. When Gu Sangongzi and Liu Ruofeng first came to Kyoto, he knew that Gu Sangongzi was by no means an ordinary person, and even asked Su Huanting to use a beauty trick to trap Gu Sangongzi. Now that I think about it, I feel a little unbridled, such an outstanding figure as Master Gu, where will his son go. glanced sideways at the secretly satisfied prime minister, and the smile on Lu Houye's face was a little gloating. Master Gu has been hidden for more than ten years and has not appeared, and now it is not easy to appear in Kyoto, and even let Gu Sangongzi participate in the imperial examination, which is even more article.

Lu Zimo naturally also noticed that Lu Houye was abnormal, did his father still have something to tell him? On weekdays, he had never seen his father stealing fun, and of course, he believed that one day he would find out.

Lu Zimo naturally also noticed that Lu Houye was abnormal, did his father still have something to tell him? Of course, he believed that one day his father would tell him.

At this time, I only heard Long Jintian ask the question again. "What is self-cultivation in the right heart?"

In just a moment, Gu Sangongzi had an answer. "The so-called self-cultivation is in the right mind, the body is not righteous if there is anger, there is fear is not right, there is happiness is not right, and there is sorrow is not right. Absent-mindedness, turning a blind eye, hearing but not smelling, eating without knowing its taste, this is called self-cultivation in the right heart. This is from The University. ”

Long Jintian was slightly silent, and then said again: "Then what is the Qi Qi family cultivating their bodies?" ”

Gu Sangongzi did not pause. "The so-called Qi Qi family is cultivating its body, people are loved and refuted, they are despised and evil, they are feared and refuted, they are sad and refuted, and they are lazy and refuted, so those who know their evil and evil and know their beauty are rare in the world. Therefore, there is a proverb: "People do not know the evil of their sons, and they do not know the fruits of their seedlings." "This means that if you don't cultivate your body, you can't join your family. Same as above, from The University"

Long Jintian's eyebrows were deep, and then he paced in the dragon chair, turning to look at Gu Sangongzi. "Then how to explain what Mencius said, 'Those who are sincere, the way of heaven' and 'Those who are sincere and immovable, there is nothing to be done'?"

Gu Sangongzi pondered for a moment, and then replied: "Only the world is sincere, in order to be able to do its best, then it can fulfill its human nature, and if it can fulfill its human nature, it can fulfill the nature of things, and if it can fulfill the nature of things, you can praise the transformation and education of heaven and earth, and you can participate in it with heaven and earth." Secondly, the song can be sincere, the sincerity is the form, the form is the work, the work is clear, the light is moving, the movement is changing, the change is changing, only the sincerity of the world can be transformed. ”

Qiao Ge Lao saw that Gu Sangongzi answered like a stream, and he was secretly satisfied in his heart. This kid is not in vain Qiao Ge Lao personally taught him by hand, it is really good.

Long Jintian was also extremely satisfied with Gu Sangongzi's performance, and sat down again at the moment. "He is worthy of being Qiao Ge's protégé!"

"The emperor has won the award." Although Liufei is in the limelight, and he Qiao Ge Lao also has a face, but in front of the emperor who is above 10,000 people, he should still be unreserved.
