Han Hanlin's article is all about praise and virtue, which won the emperor's appreciation and reward.

And then the performance of this Jinshi was very bad, although it only mentioned a question about the suffering of the people, but it involved the problem of "displaced people", the emperor would think, how can there be displaced people in the country under my rule? You are slandering the prosperous age of me, and it is not surprising that the emperor had already interrupted him impatiently before the scholar could finish reading his article.

"This Jinshi, you don't need to say it, I still need to experience a few more years to listen to your article, and change it!"

The emperor's reprimand was very direct, and it also made many people scratch their heads.

But those who were familiar with the emperor's character at the scene knew that this was the word "exile" used by Jinshi to offend the emperor.

You said that you participated in this kind of grand event, and you had nothing to think about what the people from all over the world were doing, you were impatient, if it weren't for this kind of occasion, maybe the emperor would have directly scolded you, and now the emperor is already merciful.

Originally, the Jinshi present felt that it was not difficult to gain the emperor's appreciation, because they didn't seem to be brilliant when they listened to Han Hanlin's article, and now they knew that it was not easy to write an article that the emperor appreciated, and what was needed was not your literary talent, but your mastery of the emperor's character.

"Who else?" At this time, Zhao Kangzheng's face was a little unhappy, and it was also because the unknown Jinshi made him a little unhappy.

At this time, it seems that only Hanlin dares to come out to take the lead, but Hanlin understands the emperor's character.

They knew that if the emperor was unhappy, he came out to read his own article, even if he wrote it well, and he patted it right, it would be in vain, and he would probably still be disgusted by the emperor.

At this time, it depends on the mood of the emperor, not the article itself.

So this will make the Hanlin people very acquainted, but pretend to be grandchildren.

Most of the Jinshi are acquaintances, they know that their talents are average, and they may be scolded by the emperor when they come out, and they will be laughed at at at that time, it is better to be an honest and mediocre person, and finally mix up this banquet.

Do not seek merit, but seek no fault.

Ji Ning didn't plan to go out and talk about the poems he wrote, but Gu Yuming next to him was so good that he couldn't help but go out and try it.

But it seems that Gu Yuming has a certain social shadow in his heart because he was beaten by the people of Huiwangfu, and he also saw that the emperor was not very happy, he hesitated for a long time, and kept wandering between advance and retreat, Ji Ning was a little annoyed when he watched from the side, and he reminded in a low voice: "If you want to go out, go out, what's the point of wandering here?" ”

Gu Yuming seemed to have received some kind of encouragement and was about to move forward, which would make the emperor's patience run out.

Zhao Kangzheng said: "Okay, send all the articles of Hanlin and Jinshi over and hand them over to all the Hongru present, let them judge, as for whether Hongru has a recommendation, it also depends on whether your poetry and articles can be appreciated!" ”

The emperor will not say that he will directly expose the matter, he still wants to show the talents of the talents of the Great Yong Dynasty in front of the outsiders.

It would be a shame for him to just give up, so he wondered if there was anything to be gained in these poetic essays.

As a result, all the poems and articles were summarized and handed over to many officials present who had bachelor's names, or ministers who belonged to the Hanlin family, and each of them divided a few copies to see if there were good ones, and these ministers recommended them themselves.

This is different from the palace examination papers, the palace examination papers are all the examiners, to read all the examination papers, and to make appropriate judgments, now is to divide all the articles, one person to read a few copies casually, can choose is to recommend or not to recommend, many officials will not read carefully at all, they themselves do not want to come out and cause trouble.

I said that the writing was good, but the emperor didn't like it, so what should I do? Do you want this face of your own?

……

……

All the Hanlin and Jinshi present were as if they were taking an exam, and the people who were reading their articles in front of them were all graders.

Ji Ning thought to himself: "The light here is not very strong, there are so many old ministers present, can they read the words on it clearly?" However, King Hui and Uncle Li Guo should not dare to do it now, if they continue like this, their own plans should be hindered, and it seems that they can carry out the next plan! ”

Unconsciously, Ji Ning was not interested in the poetry competition.

He was more concerned about the rebellion of King Hui, King Chong and Uncle Li.

Zhao Kangzheng was more concerned about whether the Hanlin and Jinshi present wrote poems that satisfied the ministers present.

Zhao Kangzheng looked at Ma Heng, a scholar of Confucian Temple University, and said, "Scholar Ma University, are the articles you read excellent?" ”

Ma Heng glanced at Zhao Kangzheng, groaned slightly, and finally shook his head and continued to look at the few articles in his hand.

According to the judgment standards of these Confucians, the articles written by a few Hanlin and Jinshi on the spot cannot touch the emperor's scales, and they must be written very well, which is almost impossible, even if there are one or two articles that still look a little good, no one dares to come out to recommend, after all, this is a matter of whether they are Bole or not.

If you don't have a good eye, it's a shame.

Zhao Kangzheng was a little annoyed and said, "What's the matter? Could it be that so many Hanlin and Jinshi haven't written a poem and article that can be used? Only Han Hanlin can satisfy me? ”

This will make Han Hanlin arrogant and very proud.

The ministers present were thinking, isn't this the emperor, you have a problem, saying that you want to write about the suffering of the people, but you still don't like to listen to the suffering of the people?

Zhao Kangzheng remembered one thing and said, "Didn't you say before that the poems of the Bangyan Gu Qing family were written well?" Where is his article? I want to hear about it. ”

This will make Li Dan raise his hand and say, "Your Majesty, here are the ministers...... It's just that...... This article seems to be written a little biased, inappropriate! ”

Li Dan is better than Han Hanlin, when he saw the article written by Gu Yuming, he realized that it had committed the emperor's taboo, this Gu Yuming mentioned the famine in the article, where is this accepted by the emperor? Even if there is, you can't say. So this will Li Dan will not submit Gu Yuming's article at all.

"Your Majesty, the minister has an article here......" Zuo servant Zhang Junming suddenly looked at the article in his hand and said, but soon he changed his words, "The article ...... It's not excellent, but the pen power is still insufficient. ”

Zhao Kangzheng wanted to try his best to prove that his subordinates were talented, but he said angrily: "What kind of article is it, just read it and listen to it." Whether it's good or not, let the people present judge together! ”

"Yes, Master Zhang, there are good articles, you can't hide them yourself?" Li Dan was most afraid that the emperor would ask Gu Yuming's article, which would make him take the opportunity to squeeze Zhang Junming.
