Chapter 678: The pressure is great
"Back to the emperor's words, it was made by Lord Lu for the students. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Li Yang's answer was also unthinking, in front of the all-pervasive special camp guards, it was unwise to hide anything from the emperor, and the best way was to state it truthfully.
"Well, it's no wonder that the first half of the text is brilliant, so why does the second half become a preface and a follow-up?" Emperor Kang Qiandi was very puzzled by this question, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to take a look at his test papers in advance, he was afraid that he would fall off the list this time.
"This ...... Don't hide it from the emperor, students are more forgetful, and they forget part of an article they memorize when they enter the examination room, so they put it together by themselves. Li Yang said with some embarrassment.
Li Fang on the side couldn't help laughing, this young man is too nervous, he dares to go to such an important thing.
"Well, I like people who tell the truth." Emperor Kang Qian's head bowed slightly, and he didn't pursue this matter anymore, Li Yang let out a long sigh of relief when he heard it, although he had long expected this result, but it was inevitable to worry.
"Although the second half of the article you did was a patchwork, there was some truth to what you said. I ask you, what is the art of the emperor in your heart? ”
"This ......, Your Majesty, the student feels that answering this question in front of you is a bit of a problem, can you not answer it?" Li Yang said cautiously. As the saying goes, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the emperor's mind is sometimes difficult to figure out, once he says the wrong thing, he is afraid that he will not be able to get out of this gate and be killed, if that is the case, it is the worst human case in history, after all, he is the emperor's ancestor, but he was killed by his descendants, then it will be repaid, I am afraid that the sky will be angry.
"Hehe, but it doesn't hurt to say it, even if it's wrong, I won't blame you." Emperor Kang Qian seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and he could see Li Yang's worries at a glance.
The emperor has said this, whether it is true or not, if he doesn't answer, it won't be a lift.
After pondering for a while, Li Yang said cautiously: "The student thinks that the art of the emperor is the heart of his father, and as long as he cares about his people, he is a good emperor." ”
"Do I care about my people?" Emperor Kang Qian said with a smile.
"Of course I do." Li Yang couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead, it wasn't that Emperor Kangqian's aura was too strong, it was that the power of life and death in his hands was too terrifying, because he had also been an emperor.
"I have said that I don't like to hear lies. I don't go to court every day, I just sit here and cultivate, how can I care about my people? Emperor Kang Qian stared at Li Yang and asked.
"If I go back to the emperor, I have a vast area in the world, and there are tens of thousands of people, but I am afraid that the Buddha will not be able to care about everything. The reason why the students say that the emperor cares about the people of the world is because the emperor has appointed talents to govern the world and care about the people of the world. Li Yang hurriedly explained.
"Hehe, appoint meritocracy? Since it is the appointment of meritocracy, why is Xiao Zhengtang scolded by the world? You know, he was picked up by me. Emperor Kang Qian said with a smile, but he felt that he was not wrong, this kid was quite good at talking.
The students felt that although there were criticised officials like Xiao Zhengtang in the court, there were also officials like Xiao Zhengtang who were respected by the world, and it could only be said that Xiao Zhengtang had lived up to the emperor's expectations of him. And knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, according to rumors, Lord Xiao Zhengtang was also a learned Confucian and a model of filial piety in the eyes of the world, and it was inevitable that the emperor would be blinded by his appearance. Li Yang looked at Emperor Kang Qian's expression and said.
"Yes, knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, although some people are full of benevolence and morality, but they are ruthless in doing things, and they will kill others casually, do you think such people should be used?" Emperor Kang Qian looked at Li Yang and smiled.
Li Yang was stunned, but he understood the meaning of Emperor Kangqian's words, which was clearly talking about Xiao Zhengtang!
"The student feels that as long as he can serve the emperor and care about the livelihood of the people in the world for the emperor, such a person can still be used." When he said this, Li Yang was very entangled in his heart, and it was really twisted to elevate the enemy.
"That's right, talent is rare, and it should be okay to indulge him." Emperor Kang Qiandi sighed with emotion, and then asked with a smile: "By the way, how about your wide publicity, I heard Liu Kewu say that I have made a lot of silver." ”
Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the assessment is in the past. "Emperor Xie cares, and the wide publicity of the students is a small fight, but every time he makes a profit, he will take the initiative to pay taxes and silver to the yamen, and he has never concealed it."
"Hehe, it's a good job, I helped you calculate it the day before yesterday, for now, the tax you pay every year can support seventeen four-grade officials." Emperor Kangqian's words made Li Yang shudder, this master's methods are really powerful, he can know such a little thing.
"Emperor Xie cares, and the students must make persistent efforts to share their worries for the emperor." Li Yang almost patted his chest and promised.
"Well, I've written it down, go ahead." Emperor Kang Qian's face was full of smiles, and Li Yang was also relaxed and safe.
"Brother Li, where have you been?" Watching Li Yang return to the banquet, Kang Bingwei couldn't help but wonder. This walk is an hour, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't walk around in the palace, he would have gone looking for him a long time ago.
"It's nothing, when will this banquet end?" Li Yang looked at the dishes on the table that had barely been touched and said. The standard of this dinner is too high, and everyone doesn't dare to mess around at all, just talk in a low voice, and make some friends for their future careers.
"I don't know, Lord Lu was still there just now?" Kang Bingwei looked back and forth, but did not find Lu Yifu.
Lu Yifu couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere that could be seen but not eaten, and he estimated that he would almost withdraw first, and he didn't have the slightest worry about his disciple going to see Emperor Kangqian, this kid was like a monkey spirit, and he would definitely be able to make the emperor happy.
"Alright, let's go." Li Yang looked back and forth, got up and walked towards the little eunuch on the side, said a few polite words, and walked towards the palace gate under the leadership of the little eunuch.
The champions, Bangyan, and Tanhua are all gone, and the rest of the scholars are not left, and they also know that they are a foil, and several officials of the Ministry of Rites just sat down with everyone and talked with the three top leaders, and they didn't have anything to do with themselves.
When I returned to the studio, it was sunset. It's strange to say that Xiao Dayou, originally the three of them thought that he would wait outside the palace gate, but when he left the palace, he saw a figure. And the three of them entered the palace to face the saints, and they didn't even bring a copper plate with them, so they could only return on foot.
I didn't eat or drink in the morning, and I didn't eat or drink for lunch when I entered the palace, and the imperial city was far away from the restaurant, and I almost didn't die of exhaustion all the way down.
"Three sons, what are you ......" Li Siyi, who came out when he heard the knock on the door, couldn't help but wonder when he saw the embarrassed looks of the three of them.
"Quick, go next door and please eat on the hour, I'm starving." Li Yang gave an order, and walked in with the other two people, and as soon as he opened the door, the smell of wine came to his face, and when he saw it again, Xiao Dayou was lying on the dining table and falling asleep.
