Chapter 841: There is a lot of discussion
Ju Ziyu's words seemed to be currying favor with Xuanli, but he did not bend his knees, but it also proved that he was not like this, and he came from the lowest level, and bluntly said that today's life is the peace of the country and the people in the minds of the people, which surprised the officials.
They never imagined that Ju Ziyu's answer was very different from the previous two candidates? And because he deliberately did not bow down, some officials came forward to accuse him with dissatisfaction, saying: "Presumptuous! This is a palace test, and you are standing here in full view, can you know that it is a great disrespect to Your Majesty? ”
"That's right! Relying on the face of your grandfather, do you think he will protect you from harm? Ju Ziyu, you are not qualified to participate in the palace examination, and now you are even more disrespectful to Your Majesty, it seems that you are not only going to miss the champion of liberal arts today, but even the glory of the champion of martial arts in the palm of your hand must be given up! ”
The officials were very dissatisfied with Ju Ziyu, kept accusing, and talked about it, but this kind of scene did not frighten him, he still looked at Xuan Li without squinting, and then knelt on the ground, but in the eyes of everyone, this behavior was just acting, not only did they not understand, but intensified.
Even Xiao Chumo, who wanted to help him, was silent at the moment, he silently paid attention to Ju Ziyu, and categorically did not believe that he was the one who would forget the etiquette rules in the palace, but Ju Ziyu deliberately did not bow, but it is an indisputable fact, no wonder the officials will reject him because of this, but, in the face of this kind of scolding and sarcasm from all directions, Ju Ziyu did not rush to explain, but waited in his heart until the last trace of doubt in the palace disappeared, and then slowly spoke, saying:
"When I answered the four words of Guotai and Min'an before, I represented all the people at the bottom of Ningguo, and I wanted to tell Your Majesty the most correct answer, sometimes when you look at a thing, you can't just look at the surface, and those magnificent wishes may not be completed for a while, but Your Majesty probably doesn't know that the people at the bottom actually know how to be satisfied, right? A little thing is enough to make them happy all day, and now that there is no invasion of war, it is even more so, since I am not disrespectful to Your Majesty, then what is the crime? ”
Even if Ju Ziyu explained so, the officials were still unmoved, what they hoped was that Xue Pinglun, who had power in the court and whose ancestors were all high-ranking officials, would become a member of the court, not Liu Yan who was too conceited, or Ju Ziyu who had no power at all, so even if his explanation was speechless, everyone still kept laughing and saying:
"In this court, you are just an ant, but you dare to represent the people of the entire Ning Kingdom? Hum! It's so self-righteous, and now you still want to use your disrespectful sin and the people as an excuse, Ju Ziyu, you are so bold! ”
Among them, a group of people, including Shang Shu, kept attacking Ju Ziyu, especially after seeing him frowning slightly, they intensified and continued to sneer:
"I don't know if the old lady has a spirit in the sky, how will you feel when you see that you have so many excuses for your eldest grandson? Thinking of the old lady Ju who has been an official for many years, Ju Ziyu, don't you blush for your performance today? You are the eldest grandson of the family, shouldering the heavy responsibility of reorganizing the family, even if you don't have real talent and learning, you don't have to move out of the people as an excuse to make Your Majesty soft-hearted, right? ”
If these people only attacked Ju Ziyu himself, he could tolerate it, but seeing that their verbal war was slowly transferred from him to Ju Lao Taishi, Ju Ziyu really couldn't bear it, he frowned, gritted his teeth and roared:
"One person does things and one person is responsible, and besides, all the explanations I just gave were heartfelt, so where did I get an excuse? It was true that grandpa was an official in the court back then, but now he has been riding the crane immortal for many years, why do you keep mentioning him? I have come to this day, relying on my own ability, not the glorious protection of my grandfather, I hope you will figure this out! ”
Ju Ziyu's rebuttal made everyone dissatisfied, but what he said was the truth, since Ju Xuecheng died of illness, the family politely declined the court's reward, but disappeared overnight, if it weren't for the appearance of Ju Ziyu now, I'm afraid no one can think of the family people, right?
Seeing that Ju Ziyu was about to become the target of attacks by the Chinese people, Xiao Chumo finally spoke again, his majestic voice was enough to make everyone present creepy even if it was just a scolding, at this time his eagle eyes narrowed, and he snorted coldly:
"Presumptuous! Your Majesty is here, you dare to fight like this, and it seems that Ju Ziyu is not the only one who does not take Your Majesty in his eyes, aren't you all? ”
As soon as he said this, the frightened people immediately knelt on the ground, and Shang Shu and his group did not dare to be presumptuous anymore, they almost begged for mercy to Xuan Li in unison, saying: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the ministers just now had no words to hide, so they committed such a big crime." ”
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone lowered their heads tightly and no one dared to look at Xuan Li, she immediately turned her head to look at Xiao Chumo, and the two made eye contact, and then Xiao Chumo nodded at her, as if hinting that she should make a decision, Xuan Li understood, coughed a few times, and pretended to be the voice of Dou Ding, and said to His Royal Highness:
"You suspect that Ju Ziyu is disrespectful to me, but what you did just now seems to show that you are the same, but I don't want to care, this time it will be treated as a misunderstanding, and you will be punished for three months. I quite appreciate Ju Ziyu's sentence, the life experienced by the people today is the peace of the country and the people, hehe, quite interesting! ”
To the surprise of Shangshu and the others, Xuan Li did not punish Ju Ziyu, but even made it clear that he admired him? Seeing this, Shang Shusheng was afraid that the position of the champion of liberal arts would be snatched away by Ju Ziyu, even though he had been sent out for three months, he still insisted on admonishing Xuanli, saying:
"Ju Ziyu must have just met a blind cat this time, and it doesn't mean that he has five cars to learn and be rich, but Xia Guan thinks that he said this on purpose, in order to flatter Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you really want this kind of person to become this year's champion in liberal arts? If this is the case, I am afraid that there will be a lot of complaints and dissatisfaction among the people in the DPRK and China! ”
"When it comes to flattery, where can the other two candidates compare with Xue Pinglun? Hehe, he will be like this, presumably it is also the result of your day and night edification, Lord Shangshu, right? Xuan Li didn't listen to Shang Shu's words, but smiled and mentioned Xue Pinglun's answer just now, which immediately caused the others to burst into laughter.
The darkness of the officials in the court seems to be exactly like this, a few officials still admired Shangshu's son Xue Pinglun a moment ago, but the next moment they would start to laugh at their father and son because of Xuan Li's inadvertent words, and the laughter at this time can prove everything.
When Shangshu father and son heard this, the expression on their faces couldn't help but become embarrassed, but no one seemed to be able to stop Ju Ziyu from becoming the champion of liberal arts this time!
