Although Zhao Kangzheng is not a moody emperor, his attitude on some things is indeed elusive. Tian "Lai Xiao" said.2.

For example, his attitude towards Ji Ning's poem is simply contrary to his usual style.

What is the reason why a poem that was originally banned was finally appreciated by the emperor, and even the author of the poem was publicly praised by the emperor, then only God knows.

But obviously, Ji Ning himself knows very well what is going on, because no one will grasp Zhao Kangzheng's mentality more accurately than him.

Zhao Kangzheng took out a piece of white jade offered by An Yueguo and said: "This is a reward for Ji Qing's family, in addition, I also have a special reward, this is a treasure seal, I will give it to you for the time being!" ”

This Zhao Kangzheng has a habit of giving away the seal he carries with him.

Although these seals are all the emperor's personal seals, they are not related to the name or the national seal, but are just some seals engraved with the words of the literati and scholars, and the collection is of great significance.

Even so, such a seal can almost be passed down as a family heirloom.

Long Cheng went up and took the seal and white jade in his hand, walked up to Ji Ning, handed over the things, Long Cheng turned his back to the emperor, he glared at Ji Ning with cold eyes, and seemed to blame Ji Ning for being nosy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!" Ji Ning saluted.

The people present were so envious that they couldn't do it, even those old ministers in the court, they couldn't get this kind of reward casually, the emperor had only rewarded others with two seals in the past few years, and Ji Ning's one was the third.

Zhao Kangzheng said with a smile: "Ji Qingjia, you don't have to be polite, this time you are the top student in high school, and you will have a chance to serve the imperial court in the future, I still hope that you can write more good poems and articles in the Hanlin Academy to decorate the prosperous dynasty!" ”

In the examination, there is no one who does not choose to enter the Hanlin Academy, because you can directly obtain the official position of the sixth grade, which is much more convenient than climbing up from the Shujishi, even if it is a Shujishi, others have to call Hanlin.

But Ji Ning himself had no plans to enter the Hanlin Academy.

Ji Ning said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is not prepared to enter the Hanlin Academy. The minister is ready to enter the Temple of Literature and make some efforts for cultural inheritance! ”

"What?" Zhao Kangzheng's face was still very good before, but when he heard Ji Ning's words, he felt faceless.

The people present were also stunned by Ji Ning's words, there was a Jinshi in the legend before, saying that it was the three people of Dingjia this time, and one person did not choose to enter the Hanlin Academy but wanted to enter the Confucian Temple, at the beginning, many people speculated that this person was Gu Yuming, and they all felt that it was because Gu Yuming was beaten by the people of Huiwangfu and lost confidence in the imperial court, so he went to the Confucian Temple to avoid the people in the court.

But seeing Gu Yuming's reaction today, not to mention the unintentional court, even the attitude towards King Hui's Mansion is very ambiguous, and he doesn't remember to eat or fight at all.

Now they know that the person who was going to enter the Temple of Literature was Ji Ning, the champion of the temple this time.

Before, they didn't know how Ji Ning's talent was, but now Ji Ning has been appreciated and promoted by Zhang Junming, the left minister, and appreciated by the emperor, it can be said that it is the limelight, and staying in the court must also have a great chance of promotion, why go to the Temple of Literature to live a hard life?

"Ahem!" Zhao Kangzheng is very faceless, but he can't take back the words he spit out before.

Zhang Junming, as the recommender of Ji Ning's article before, got up and said: "Ji Ning, if you have already reported to the Temple of Literature before, now that Your Majesty appreciates you and gives you a chance to choose again, do you stay in the imperial court, or continue to enter the Temple of Literature?" ”

Ji Ning said: "Students are willing to enter the Temple of Literature!" ”

Zhang Junming wanted to say that Ji Ning didn't know each other, but Zhao Kangzheng waved his hand and said: "There is no need to say anything about Prime Minister Zuo, there are some things that cannot be forced." Haha, in fact, whether it is in the Temple of Literature or in the imperial court, they are also doing things for the common people of the society, I remember that the scholar of Ma University was also in the Ding Jia and chose to enter the Temple of Literature, right? ”

Ma Heng glanced at Ji Ning, then looked back at the emperor and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”

"You see, now the Horse Scholars, haven't they also proven themselves? Haha, I'm in a good mood today, it's all because Ji Ning wrote such a good poem, come, let me toast you for this poem today! Zhao Kangzheng took the wine glass, got up and was about to drink.

Everyone present had to return to their positions, including Hanlin and Zhongjinshi, who came out to write articles before, and after everyone went back, the emperor drank this glass of wine, and everyone present also drank it together.

Zhao Kangzheng coughed twice, sat down, and the desks in the venue were also removed, indicating that the matter of making a fuss at the banquet had come to an end for the time being.

In addition to Zhang Junming's recommendation of Ji Ning's poem, no second poetry article was recommended, and even Gu Yuming's poem was hidden, Gu Yuming himself was still a little anxious, he thought to himself: "But Ji Ning's kid was in the limelight, what about my article?" Why didn't anyone come out and recommend it? Is he blind? ”

It's a pity that this Jiangbei genius still doesn't know that his poetry talent is not very outstanding, and the lie at the Beijing Poetry Conference, talking and talking, even he believes it.

……

……

Ji Ning, who returned to his seat, immediately became the object of envy and envy of those present.

Ji Ning not only showed his poetic talent in front of the emperor, but also made the emperor praise him exceptionally, and Ji Ning unexpectedly chose to enter the Temple of Literature instead of entering the imperial court, which made the emperor unable to get off the stage.

But some people think that this is Ji Ning's ignorance, since Zhang Junming gave Ji Ning the steps, but Ji Ning had to enter the Temple of Literature with a dead face, Ma Heng's difficulties with Ji Ning when the name of the text was set on the day were also well known, they would think: "Isn't there something wrong with this era champion?" When he was appreciated by the emperor in the imperial court, and he was bullied by the scholars of the Confucian Temple, he couldn't tell the difference? ”

Ji Ning at this level is like no one, and he doesn't mind what others throw at him, including envy, jealousy, and unbelievable eyes.

Even if others have envy of Ji Ning, they can't come over to congratulate or stammer with Ji Ning, but Gu Yuming, who is sitting at the same table with Ji Ning, can.

Gu Yuming said: "Ji Zhuangyuan, where did you get your poems?" ”

Ji Ning glanced at Gu Yuming and said with a smile: "What, Your Excellency thinks this poem is familiar?" ”

"What do you mean?" Gu Yuming frowned.

"Gu Bangyan should also know that some things don't belong to you, so don't be reluctant, lest you get into problems, others know what your talent is, and it will be you who will be embarrassed at that time!" Ji Ning said with a smile.

Gu Yuming originally wanted to question Ji Ning and wonder if Ji Ning had stolen other people's poems, but when he heard this, he felt that Ji Ning should know something.

But he is also confident that no one knows about his misappropriation of poetry.
