Tang Ming, who returned to the Zheng Mansion, was already dawning when he got off with his clothes, even if he had great troubles in his heart, he couldn't resist the sleepiness that swept over at this moment, and sighed when his hard life would settle down, Tang Ming slowly closed his eyes and prepared to sleep well.

But suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the old butler's somewhat leaky voice followed: "Young master, young master, get up quickly, the emperor sent an angel to take you into the palace to face the saint." ”

"Damn, this still doesn't let people live!" Tang Ming grumbled dissatisfiedly in his heart, dragged his tired body, and sat up with two big dark circles under his eyes.

"Well, I know, I'll get up now, Uncle Zheng will entertain the angel for me, and I'll go over after changing my clothes."

"The old slave knows, young master, don't let the angels wait for a long time!" The old butler turned to entertain the guests.

Tang Ming slowly began to change clothes, he would indeed be sleepy, he didn't have a good rest from getting off the boat to this city, and he didn't want to sleep until the early hours of the morning, but unexpectedly, the emperor asked someone to pick him up into the palace, except for what he said last night, Tang Ming couldn't think of anything else Zhu Di would do when he asked him to enter the palace.

The cold water caressed his cheeks, somewhat driving away some sleepiness, Tang Mingqiang cheered up and came to the front hall, only to see an old man chatting happily with Uncle Zheng, and the two seemed to be old acquaintances. After greeting him, he quickly got into the carriage waiting outside the palace and galloped all the way into the palace.

In the Taihe Palace, the ministers and Zhu Di are all there, it seems that the early dynasty has not dispersed, and it is the first time to come to this court to go to the early dynasty with the ministers to Tang Ming. After the old man who led the way communicated with Zhu Di, he was allowed to enter the Taihe Palace.

I didn't know what the ministers were discussing with Zhu Di earlier, and there were still many people whispering at this moment, and when Tang Ming entered the Taihe Palace, he immediately attracted the attention of the people in the palace. Weihai Hou Tang Ming, everyone naturally recognizes it, but this Hou Ye has never been to the early dynasty, but this meeting suddenly appeared, and everyone discussed his intentions in private.

The performance of everyone present was in Tang Ming's eyes, he didn't know where to stand when he came for the first time, and Yao Guangxiao was not there, otherwise he could sit beside him. Everyone stared at him with speculative eyes, making him uncomfortable.

After entering the main hall, he simply didn't bother to leave, and knelt down to salute Zhu Di directly at the entrance of the hall, and repeatedly shouted long live.

Zhu Di twisted his eyebrows, and shouted coldly: "Who taught you this etiquette, what is the reason for a marquis to kneel at the door of the hall, don't come forward and talk back." ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a small commotion among the ministers, and even more so that they couldn't hold back their laughter for a while. This eased the atmosphere in the hall, at least not as dull as it was when he first entered.

Tang Ming is also a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, although he inadvertently made a fool of himself, but this goods is not the same thing at all, he got up and calmly came to Zhu Di before kneeling down and saluting again.

When he came to the front, Tang Ming was still worried about where he should stand, but he didn't expect Zhang Yu in the military attache queue to wink at him. At first, Tang Ming was still confused, but after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly came over.

His real rank is integrity, and he is also a member of the military attaché queue, which will Zhang Yu signal to himself that he should stand by his side. Finding his position, Tang Ming was no longer confused, and immediately stood behind Zhang Yu after getting up.

A little farce is over here, Zhu Di seems to have been waiting for Tang Ming just now, and when he saw him, he immediately said: "Tang Aiqing made a suggestion to me last night, the matter of establishing a prince can be used to make the two princes compete fairly, whoever wins will be the prince, I don't know what Zhong Aiqing thinks about this?" ”

The ministers who had just quieted down began to whisper again at this moment, but Zhu Di did not say what to compete with and how to compete, whether it was those who supported the second prince or the eldest prince, they were quite calm and did not show excessive emotions.

At this time, Zhang Yu suddenly came out and said loudly: "Back to the emperor, the old minister thinks this method is very good, but I don't know how to compete and what to try?" ”

"Tang Aiqing means to test the literary talent, but I feel that there is something wrong with this, if it is only compared to the text, the second prince who is good at martial arts will definitely lose. In the same way, if you only fight, the eldest prince will inevitably lose, and they all have their own strengths, and it is unfair to anyone to compete with any of them, so I think that the audience Aiqing can have a proper way to solve this matter. ”

Zhu Di discussed this matter with the queen last night and there was no result, the ability and liking of the two princes can be said to be clearly demarcated, this is unfair to anyone if they test any subject, so this competition does not seem to solve the problem, but at present, there is no other way, the prince must be determined before he goes on the expedition, time is running out, Zhu Di is also very troubled by this.

No one stood up to reply, even Zhang Yu quietly retreated into the queue, and the old guy began to pretend to be confused, closing his eyes as if it was not him who stood up and asked someone else just now.

No one wants to be this bird, and the hall fell silent again, and Zhu Di, who was sitting on the throne, began to look ugly. What he hates the most is these old foxes in the court, and no one will stand up against the wind if there is no benefit to him.

Sometimes these old foxes have the answer in their hearts, but they will never show it easily, this kind of court is not what Zhu Di wants, he has also wanted to change this situation many times, but he, the Ninety-Five, can only sigh in his heart.

He didn't know how many times he had tried, but the situation had not improved significantly, and everything was still the same as before. The ministers were silent, and Zhu Di had no choice but to turn his gaze to Tang Ming, the culprit.

Tang Ming was still busy watching and eavesdropping on everyone's expressions and discussions, but when Zhu Di stared at them, he immediately felt a chill behind him. It was too late to pretend to be stupid, so he had to come out and say: "Your Majesty, this competition is actually not the point, the focus is on a comprehensive investigation of the two princes." ”

"Oh, how do you examine it?" A smile appeared on Zhu Di's face, he knew that Tang Ming definitely knew it in his heart, and asking the ministers just now was just a formality.

Tang Ming naturally had a bottom in his heart, and replied unhurriedly: "The prince is the prince, if we want to assess, we should consider it from the direction of the country's development, and assess whether its comprehensive ability is in line with the direction that the country will go in the future, we only need to produce a test paper for the two princes to answer, and the one with the most points will win." ”

The test-oriented education methods of later generations were just copied by Tang Ming. This is also in line with everyone's perception, and no one has come forward to oppose it. Even Li Xing, a sworn enemy, has no opinions, and others will not be unhappy. (To be continued.) )
