Chen Kaizhi hurriedly bid farewell to Wu Zixi, and hurriedly went to Wenchang Courtyard.

The scholars of Wenchang Temple have all gathered and are ready to go to the altar.

As soon as Chen Kaizhi arrived, a doctor anxiously stopped Chen Kaizhi: "Kaizhi, why are you here?" Quick, go to Dacheng Hall and wait, your article, Liu Zhangyuan has already recommended it, you go to Dacheng Hall and sacrifice with His Royal Highness King Zhao. ”

Chen Kaizhi was embarrassed: "His Royal Highness King Zhao has come down?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Zhao is here on behalf of the Son of Heaven, don't be long-winded, go quickly."

Chen Kaizhi looked at his classmates, all of them looked envious, and he was also very embarrassed, and he waved at them, and walked quickly to the Dacheng Palace.

Sure enough, after arriving at the Dacheng Palace, the guards here were a lot stricter, and before Chen Kaizhi got close, someone shouted: "Idle people, no entry." ”

However, a scholar came out and saw Chen Kaizhi, and hurriedly beckoned to Chen Kaizhi and said, "Come in and meet His Royal Highness King Zhao." ”

Chen Kaizhi can be regarded as having seen the world, and now a King Zhao can't scare him, after all, he is also a person who has talked and laughed with the Queen Mother.

He was not in a hurry, he straightened his clothes, and then slowly walked into the Dacheng Palace, and saw His Royal Highness King Zhao, dressed in a python robe, wearing a seven-beam crown on his head, and standing with a majestic face.

That Mr. Li Zi also came, stood beside King Zhao, saw Chen Kaizhi come in, and whispered something in King Zhao's ear.

Today's sacrifice is a total of three sacrifices, Mr. Li Zi is the main sacrifice, Chen Kaizhi and another Wenchengyuan senior brother are the second sacrifice, the senior brother has already arrived, is standing on the side, it seems that he has never seen a figure like King Zhao, so he looks trembling, and he doesn't even dare to raise his head.

However, the other scholars were nowhere to be seen, including Yang Ye, who was not here, presumably they were already busy as ceremonial officials.

King Zhao listened to Mr. Li Zi's whisper in his ear, and glanced at Chen Kaizhi very lightly.

Chen Kai stepped forward and saluted: "Student Chen Kaizhi, I have seen His Highness. ”

The attitude is neither humble nor arrogant.

King Zhao smiled and said, "We have met, so there is no need to be polite, has your article also been selected?" ”

Chen Kaizhi: "Yes." ”

Mr. Li Zi glanced at Chen Kaizhi with his spare eyes, his face was full of pride, and he said lightly: "This is the sacrifice, at the end." ”

There was mockery in his tone.

Historically, the priority of this sacrificial text has been arranged according to the superiority of the article, and Mr. Li Zi means that his sacrificial text is ranked first, and the level is naturally the highest.

Even if Chen Kaizhi is on the list of people and people, he is not so much worse than me, it is estimated that those people on this list are confused, so he is blinded.

Therefore, he looked at Chen Kaizhi's eyes with deep contempt.

Although King Zhao heard Mr. Li Zi's voice, he did not echo Mr. Li Zi's words, but sighed: "It's very rare, there is this achievement at a young age, come, don't be nervous, wait a while, this king will lead you to the altar, you can follow the etiquette, this sacrifice is once a year, and you have participated more, so you have nothing to fear." Loyalty and righteousness are admired by the people of the world, and when you are sacrificed, you don't have to lose your temper. ”

He spoke very softly, without any arrogance, if he wasn't wearing a python robe, he would look like an uncle next door, and he didn't look like a prince who leaned towards the government and the opposition at all.

Chen Kaizhi said: "Thank you for mentioning it." ”

King Zhao sat down, Mr. Li Zi diligently picked up the tea, and put it in front of King Zhao, King Zhao took the teacup, looked sideways at Mr. Li Zi and said, "There is Mr. Lao." ”

Chen Kaizhi saw all these in his eyes, and today's Mr. Li Zi didn't see the indifferent look last time, and even looked at King Zhao with a happy face: "Your Highness has a lot of opportunities, I think I am tired, and students don't dare to be it." ”

King Zhao smiled, but his eyes looked at Chen Kaizhi kindly, and his face was extremely warm.

"It is said that your ancestral home is also Yingchuan, and the last time the Queen Mother asked you in person, she also said, maybe you and this king were the same family five hundred years ago."

Chen Kaizhi's heart couldn't help but be vigilant, this kind of thing, maybe a joke can be passed, but if you look closely, sometimes the same sentence said by different people is different in nature.

King Zhao's words, if he nodded, maybe he would be pretending to be a clan.

Chen Kaizhi said with a smile: "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously." ”

King Zhao suddenly said: "If there are children like you in the clan, it is not a bad thing. ”

He seemed to be sighing, probably because he felt that the children of the clan were not very similar, and he seemed to be appreciating Chen Kaizhi's talent.

Mr. Li Zi on the side said: "Yes, although he is a late-born junior, he can be called talented." ”

King Zhao looked sideways at Mr. Li Zi and said, "Mr. Li Zi is even more talented. ”

"Where, Your Highness said with a smile." Mr. Li Zi saw that King Zhao had a strong interest in Chen Kaizhi, and his heart was sour, and said, "Isn't the student's sacrificial text still asking His Highness to correct it?" If there is no correction from His Royal Highness, how can the palace be so favored and listed as the main priest. Chen Kaizhi, why don't you also ask Your Highness to correct one or two of your sacrificial texts? ”

This is obviously provocative, he is very confident in his sacrificial text, and deliberately brought it up like this, doesn't he just want to crush Chen Kaizhi in public?

Although Chen Kaizhi despised Mr. Li Zi's behavior, he didn't show it, and he was not interested in comparing himself with this kind of person, so he shook his head and said, "The student didn't bring the article with him. ”

Mr. Li Zi felt in his heart that Chen Kaizhi didn't dare to compare with himself, otherwise he could read it even if he didn't bring it with him.

He was very proud in his heart, and if he defeated Chen Kaizhi, his reputation would spread even further.

He finally felt that he had pressed Chen Kai's head, he was in a good mood, squinting his eyes, and looking light: "It's a pity, but don't worry, you'll know later." Your mentor is Fang Zheng Mountain? ”

Hearing him call his mentor's name, Chen Kaizhi began to be disgusted again, it's okay to say other things, but it is rude to rashly read the names of his elders.

Mr. Li Zi said: "When he was in Beijing, I had a relationship with him, he asked me for advice, I had some friendship with him, I didn't expect that he was mediocre in literature, but he got an outstanding disciple like you." ”

Chen Kaizhi didn't think he was scolding people without dirty words, and after a pause, Chen Kaizhi said with a straight face: "The family teacher didn't mention this matter. ”

Mr. Li Zi said with a smile: "It's a pity. ”

King Zhao only drank tea quietly on the side, looking graceful and generous.

When the bell rang, Zhao Wang Fang got up and said, "The auspicious time has come." ”

After that, King Zhao straightened his clothes and took the lead out of Wencheng Palace.

Mr. Li Zi hurriedly followed behind, while Chen Kaizhi and another senior brother hung at the end.

With King Zhao arriving at the altar, this altar is large in scale and can accommodate 10,000 people, at this time, countless teachers and students have already stood on their own, and countless heads are surging, which is magnificent.

On the way through the altar, a blanket has been laid, and King Zhao stepped into the blanket that extended to the altar first, and took Chen Kaizhi and the others to slowly walk up the stone steps.

On the altar, Yang Ye and the others had already worn ceremonial clothes and stood solemnly one by one.

When this King Zhao stood still, Yang Ye said: "Loyalty and righteousness are waiting for the soul to return, and the return is ......."

After singing in an ancient accent, another official slowly unfolded the memorial text.

At this time, there were tens of thousands of people on this altar, and even under the altar, but at this moment, there was no sound, and everyone's faces were unanimous and solemn.

The ceremonial officer looked at the sky, and then he read: "Woohoo! Public merit is born to the people, and eternity depends on ......"'

This is Mr. Li Zi's sacrificial text, when this memorial is sung, Mr. Li Zi stands solemnly behind King Zhao, although his face is expressionless, but there is a trace of fine light in his eyes.

This memorial text can be called a textbook model, every word, seems to have been carefully scrutinized, although as usual praises the loyalty and courage of loyalty, but every sentence, is a careful sentence, impartial.

Such an article should be the most popular among the courtesy, and it is no wonder that Yang Ye has also applauded it again and again.

Because the most feared thing about the sacrificial text is that it is wrong, even if it is an inaccurate word, it may offend the heroic spirit, let alone such an occasion for formal sacrifice?

And Mr. Li Zi in the process of chanting the sacrificial text, he also carefully used the corner of his eye to pay attention to His Royal Highness King Zhao, although he could not see His Royal Highness King Zhao's face, but he could also get a glimpse of it from the majestic back.

Obviously, this sacrificial text is impeccable.

Mr. Li Zi was overjoyed, he knew that the real highlight was not here, but what kind of evaluation would be received after this sacrificial text was sent to Qufu.

He glanced at Chen Kaizhi again from the corner of his eye, and saw that Chen Kaizhi seemed to be carefully tasting this sacrificial text, and sneered in his heart: "This kid, whether it is an article on the list of people or a list, it is just a surprise, this sacrificial text, the most important thing is to be stable, I am afraid that this time his sacrificial text will be listed together, and it is only because of the name of his place list." ”

Today, I want to see if his sacrificial text is smiling and generous, which just makes people distinguish between me and him.

Thinking of this, he remembered the last time he wrestled in Dacheng Palace, and his heart was even more annoyed, the last time it was because of this kid that he lost all his life, hum, he would never spare him.

Therefore, Mr. Li Zi looked at Chen Kaizhi's eyes with a strong sense of ruthlessness.

Just as he was thinking about it, the ceremonial officer began to sing the second part.

This is Chen Kaizhi's senior brother's article, and the writing is also sophisticated, which can be regarded as a masterpiece.

At last, the third memorial was finally taken, and the ceremonial officer lowered his head to read the memorial text, but the muscles on his face twitched, as if he had seen a ghost, and his body trembled.

He took the sacrificial text, but he didn't know whether to continue reading, so he raised his eyes and glanced at Yang Ye, but Yang Ye had a straight face and a hidden appearance.

The ceremonial official seemed to be smiling bitterly in his heart, and only then did he sing in ancient rhyme: "Heaven and earth have righteousness, and miscellaneous manifolds ......"

The altar where the needles had just dropped could be heard was in an uproar.
