Soon, the professor of Confucianism in the imperial capital came to the palace.

He is not qualified to enter the palace to face the saint, and he has never met the emperor.

Today, he was suddenly approached by the little eunuch and said that he should enter the palace, which scared this old man who was almost seventy years old, and immediately hurried to burn incense and bathe at home, dressed decently, and then stepped up to enter the palace.

When he arrived at the imperial study, the emperor was reviewing the recitals, and when Mr. Bai, a professor of Confucianism, came, he asked the eunuch to come in.

When the old gentleman came in, he knelt down: "Old minister, meet Your Majesty......"

"Flat!"

The emperor opened his mouth lightly, and while reviewing the folds, he said, "You are the professor of Confucianism in the imperial capital?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is ......" This professor of Confucianism, a teacher of no math students, has cultivated many talented people and is respected by many people, and at this moment, it is as if a student has met him, and his hands are a little trembling.

The Emperor asked, "Do you know, Chen ...... Chen Xiao? ”

Mr. Bai was stunned for a moment, and didn't react to why the emperor asked this.

Although he couldn't figure out why the emperor would meet him, a Jiupin civil official, he was even more puzzled at the moment and replied:

"Back to Your Majesty, I know, I am a very good offspring!"

The emperor was still writing something, and asked in his mouth: "I heard that his poetry is good!" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, indeed!"

The emperor said, "What works?" ”

Mr. Bai said: "Back to Your Majesty, this time I came to the imperial capital, and I also made a sentence on the way: The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red!" ”

"Well, it's not bad, anything else?" The emperor asked.

Mr. Bai said: "Also: the bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground." Raise your head to look at the bright moon, bow your head and think of your hometown!

And: On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil. Who knows that Chinese food is hard work! ”

"Not bad, not bad, not bad." The Emperor nodded repeatedly.

Mr. Bai was also very happy, and said: "When my granddaughter invited him to participate in the literati meeting, he drank some wine and composed a poem that I thought was very good, saying:

When you sing about wine, life is geometric, such as morning dew, and the days are bitter......"

The emperor's hand paused, then he raised his head and said, "This poem, is it written by him?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's true!" Mr. Bai nodded.

The emperor took a deep breath: "Good poetry, it's just ...... This poem reads a little heroic, but tastes a little sad, at a young age, to do such a thing, not very real......"

"Your Majesty, Chen Xiao was seriously ill a few years ago and never had a normal life, so it is normal to have such an exclamation!" Mr. Bai explained.

"Oh? It's normal to do this, is there still poetry? The Emperor asked.

Mr. Bai didn't expect the emperor to be so interested in this Chen Xiao, and continued at the moment:

"Yes, yes, but ...... This poem is not very good...... It was a song composed by Chen Xiao's father when he was dismissed from office and he was humiliated by his ex-fiancée. ”

The Emperor said, "Oh? And bad poems? I'm curious, so let's hear about it. ”

"This ......" Mr. Bai was a little embarrassed.

The emperor said, "Say! ”

Mr. Bai had no choice but to speak: "The poem says: The dragon swims in the shallow water and is played by shrimp, and the tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs." The cat is more male than the tiger, and the feathered phoenix is not as good as the chicken......"

The emperor was stunned, and the old eunuch on the side was also stunned.

The previous poems are either elegant or heroic and deep, how did you get to this one, and suddenly it looks like a shrew scolding the street?

The point is that the scolding is quite knowledgeable.

The emperor put down the pen and couldn't help laughing: "This is really ...... Haha, that's kind of interesting...... Hahaha......"

The old eunuch was surprised, but for a long time, he hadn't seen this majestic majesty like a tiger smile, and he couldn't help laughing like this.

After laughing for a while, the emperor took the pen and wrote down the poems he had just written.

I also read the poems "Singing to Wine" and "Landing Phoenix is Not as Good as a Chicken", which reflect the heart with two completely different moods, and read it carefully several times.

The song of wine is a deep and old-fashioned song.

The landed phoenix is not as good as the chicken, and it seems that Chen Xiao's mouth is extremely powerful, and he is not a person who is willing to wronged himself.

"Interesting people, interesting people. Okay, Professor Confucianism, go down, don't reveal a third person about today's matter! The emperor spoke, not angry.

The Confucian professor hurriedly said that he understood, and then came with a confused face and left with a confused face.

The old eunuch stood beside the emperor and looked at the emperor.

The emperor pushed away all the folds, put a few poems in front of him, and read them for a long time with a smile.

Seeing this, the old eunuch understood that if this Chen Xiao behaved better, in the future, it would not be that the phoenix was inferior to the chicken, but that he would turn into a dragon in the face of the storm!

……

Here, when the emperor was interested in this man who was favored by his favorite daughter.

On the other side, Chen Xiao, under the leadership of the fat man, also had fun with Long Jiuling.

On this trip, the fat man was kind enough to be a tour guide, but he wanted to eat and drink nonsense.

But he never thought about it, but Chen Xiao didn't spend a penny, and he cheated the fat man everywhere, and the fat man spent a lot of silver.

It was getting late, and Chen Xiao and the three of them went back to the restaurant for dinner.

At the dinner table, the fat man was entangled in how much money he spent today, like a rich slave.

After the meal, Chen Xiao and Long Jiuling went upstairs directly, and the fat man was a step slower, so he had to pay......

……

The next day, early in the morning, Chen Xiao discussed with the fat man and went to the Gongyuan to learn about some things in Qiufu together.

However, when he arrived at the Tribute Academy, he was told by the Confucian instructor of the Imperial Capital Mansion, which belonged to the Tribute Academy, that Chen Xiao's name was removed.

In other words, he is not qualified for the imperial examination this time!

Chen Xiao was stunned now, he only took the recommendation of a Confucian professor yesterday to sign up for the exam, why did he come today, and he didn't have a name?

The Confucian discipline is equivalent to the assistant of the Confucian professor, and there are four Confucian teachings in the Zhili Prefecture.

Although he is an official who has not entered the stream, he is also highly respected because he is engaged in cultural undertakings. Therefore, it is impossible for this Confucian instructor to deceive Chen Xiao.

Seeing that Chen Xiao was silent, the Confucian instructor spoke:

"Young man, have you offended people, the adults in the palace, remove your name by name, don't think that Bai Lao, a professor of Confucianism, can go to heaven."

When Chen Xiao heard this, he probably understood that the Luo family didn't know what means to use to make the imperial capital government judge Chen Wenshan as an enemy, and they didn't know what means to use to dismiss Chen Wenshan.

Now, it is really not difficult to remove a candidate like him.

Taking a deep breath, he didn't get angry or angry, looked at the Confucian instructor, and said respectfully:

"Please make it clear to the instructor, I don't know, who did the student offend?"

The instructor said, "This ......"

When he hesitated, the fat man who had been silent on the side suddenly stretched out his hand and very skillfully stuffed a few taels of silver into the sleeve of the Confucian teaching.

The Confucian instructor smiled: "You should, you have offended the general judge, right?" ”

Chen Xiao smiled: "Thank you!" ”

Then he turned around and pulled Long Jiuling away.

Behind him, the fat man caught up and said, "Brother Chen, where are you going?" ”

Chen Xiao replied calmly: "Go to the imperial capital and sue the government for a sentence!" ”
