Quiet......

Liang Qiuwu held her hands tightly, and looked at Xie An not far away with concern, even she could see that Xie An was stopped by the Son of Heaven.

Her heart was very anxious, but this was the Baohe Palace, and in front of the current emperor, even if she wanted to help her husband, she couldn't do anything about it.

At this moment, Xie An didn't know that Liang Qiuwu was looking at him with great concern, after all, he didn't have the leisure time to pay attention to his wife, and his attention was always on the Great Zhou Tianzi in front of him.

People are old and fine, horses are old and slippery, rabbits are old and eagles are difficult to take, this sentence is not false at all.

Yin Gong is, so is this Great Zhou Tianzi, who has lived for a long time, and there is really no one to deal with, and he was caught by him if he didn't pay attention to it.

How do you answer that?

Xie An felt the sweat in his head gradually increase.

At this moment, the Baohe Hall was silent, the silent atmosphere, and the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes made Xie An, who was in focus, feel like a year

Suddenly, Xie An's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, making the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who had been paying attention to him, slightly stunned, and then his frowning brows stretched, and the corners of his mouth also raised a faint smile.

Yo, have you figured it out?

Under the slightly smiling gaze of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Xie An took a deep breath and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, but I don't dare to ask for high-ranking officials, only small officials, which is enough to ......."

"What ...... the little official" The Son of Heaven did not see the slightest fluctuation when he heard this, but there was a faint disappointment in his eyes.

"Humph!" Xu Zhi, the secretary of the ministry, snorted coldly and mocked loudly, "Some people are just shameless and exaggerated!" -- Fang Cai still said that he had confidence in himself, but in the end, he only dared to ask for a small official......"

The crown prince Li Wei laughed, and among the rest of the candidates, there were also those who snickered and those who despised them.

Seeing that her husband was humiliated, Liang Qiuwu's eyes flashed with a little anger, but it was just that it was not easy to attack in front of the Son of Heaven.

Compared with the crown prince Li Wei, the cultivation of the Son of Heaven is obviously much better, he smiled faintly, turned around and went back to the Dragon Court, and didn't say much, but commented on Xie An in his heart.

It's exaggerated, it's useless!

However, just as the Son of Heaven turned around, he suddenly heard Xie An's faint words behind him.

"Xu Shangshu's words are wrong! -- I asked Your Majesty for the official of the micro end, not because I have no self-confidence, on the contrary, I just feel that even if Your Majesty gives me the official of the micro end, I can still come out in the future, perhaps, one day I will be an official at the same level as Lord Xu! ――Does Lord Xu still feel that he has no self-confidence? ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked, and everyone looked at Xie An dumbfounded, especially Xu Zhi, the secretary of the ministry, whose face was flushed and speechless, so he was not embarrassed.

Pretty! The eldest grandson Xiangyu secretly pinched the folding fan in his hand excitedly.

"......" had already turned around, and the Son of Heaven, who was preparing for his Dragon Court, turned around abruptly and looked at Xie An in astonishment.

It is undeniable that seeing that Xie An said it wildly, but in the end, he showed his feet and only asked for a slight official position, the Son of Heaven was really a little disappointed, and felt that this person's words were exaggerated and could not be used, but Xie An's next sentence made him impressed.

Don't care whether this Xie An has the confidence he said, this eloquence and quick wit alone are enough to prove that this person is not mediocre!

"Wonderful! Wonderful! The Son of Heaven clapped his hands lightly and looked at Xie An deeply.

In all fairness, the Son of Heaven just wanted to embarrass Xie An, but he didn't expect Xie An to quietly solve the problem he set.

That sentence is simply a stroke of genius!

"Don't dare, don't dare to ......" Xie An bowed humbly, his face was as calm as being ridiculed by everyone just now, but it was those who had just laughed at him who lowered their heads in shame at the moment.

Originally, the Son of Heaven had planned to return to the Dragon Court just like this, but now seeing that Xie An had resolved his difficulties so well, and seeing that he was excited about hunting, he was a little reluctant to let Xie An go like this, and he really wanted to see how capable this little bowl in front of him, who seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, was.

Thinking of this, the Son of Heaven deliberately straightened his face and said in a deep voice, "Do you think that you can simply become one of my six major scholars?" How arrogant the boy is! ”

Xie An clearly noticed the eyes of the Son of Heaven, and saw that his face was full of anger, but there was no anger in his eyes, and he suddenly understood in his heart, and arched his hand and said, "The ancients said, people are not arrogant and arrogant, in my opinion, this is not arrogance, but a kind of will to forge ahead!" ――Is it wrong to set yourself a very high goal in order to motivate yourself and forge ahead? ”

Sure enough, good eloquence!

Seeing that Xie An was so eloquent, the Son of Heaven felt more and more interested in his heart, and deliberately said with a calm face, "Is the Liubu Shangshu an important position in my Great Zhou Dynasty, you are just a child who has not yet been weakly crowned, and you dare to say that you will occupy such an important position in the future, so you are so ambitious, are you not afraid of making people laugh?" ”

Xie An's face changed when he heard this, and he arched his hand and said, "If you stay and climb from a small official to the six books, won't you grow up?" I thought that this is called a stupid bird flying first, does Your Majesty think it? ”

The Son of Heaven was speechless, looked at Xie An funny and angry, thought about it, and said with a straight face, "This idea is commendable, but ...... You're so ambitious! ”

"In my opinion, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and in the same way, an officer who does not want to be a high-ranking official is not a good official...... In my opinion, ambition seems derogatory, but it can actually stimulate people to forge ahead! -- How is it not an ambition for a poor family to work hard and accumulate money in order to marry a beautiful woman? Isn't it an ambition for a businessman to travel around and travel in order to get more money? Like Your Majesty, a wise gentleman, working hard day and night, proficient in government affairs, thinking that one day the world will be healthy, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and will not be implicated in natural disasters, how can it not be an ambition? ”

The Son of Heaven was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed, obviously, Xie An's last quiet flattery made him very useful.

Interesting, kid!

Seeing that he had been amused by the words of the little guy in front of him, the Son of Heaven simply didn't pretend to look like him, and said calmly, "Then tell me, what is your ambition?" ”

Xie An's eyes blinked, and he said without hesitation, "Be a big official and make a lot of money!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar, not to mention the rest of the people, even Liang Qiuwu frowned slightly, obviously very dissatisfied with Xie An's reply.

"Being a big official? Make good money? The Son of Heaven pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "It's not appropriate to put these two together, isn't it possible that you are an official just to make money?" -- Instead of being loyal to the monarch and the country, serving my Great Zhou, sharing worries, and seeking benefits for the people? ”

"Your Majesty, this Xie An's words are enough to prove this person's wolf ambition!" Xu Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry who had just been humiliated by Xie An, took this opportunity to grab the words and say.

Why are you again?

Xie An looked at Xu Zhi, the official secretary with anger on his face, a little speechless, sneered in his heart, arched his hand, and asked deliberately, "Then if it is Lord Xu, what should you answer?" ”

Xu Zhi, the secretary of the ministry, snorted coldly when he heard this, and said loudly, "Naturally, as His Majesty said, he will be loyal to the monarch and the country, serve my Great Zhou, share worries for His Majesty, and seek benefits for the people!" ”

"Don't you care about personal gains and losses?" Xie An interjected.

Xu Zhi sneered and said proudly, "That's nature!" ”

"Lord Xu is really a high wind and bright festival!" Xie An clapped his hands, raised his voice, and said, "I didn't expect Lord Xu to be an official just to solve problems for His Majesty and seek welfare for the people......

The sarcasm in his words could be heard even by Liang Qiu Wu, let alone others.

Especially the eldest grandson Xiangyu, when he heard this, he pretended to be remorseful and said to Ruan Shaozhou, "Uncle Ruan, isn't it your hearsay that you misunderstood Lord Xu, how could a person as high-spirited as Lord Xu take advantage of his power to seek officials for his own people?" ”

Ruan Shaozhou is also a very smart person, smelling the strings and knowing its elegance, he reached out and stroked the handful of beard on his chin, and said introspectively, "Maybe the brothers Xu Liang and Xu Mao are actually not the nephews of the Xu family, maybe ......" said so, but he also pointed out the names of the brothers, the meaning of which is self-evident.

The two sang and harmonized, and only said that Xu Zhi, the secretary of the ministry, was blushing and speechless.

But Xie An didn't want to let go of this Xu Zhi, who told this guy to come to him three times and twice to make trouble?

Repaying grievances with virtue is not Xie An's character, he has always been an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, just look at the handwriting at home.

“…… A person like Lord Xu is as high-spirited and bright, he is simply an ancient, no one has come after, and it is not an exaggeration to compare with the sages, I think that Lord Xu is an official, he must not be greedy for fame and profit, and he regards gold and silver as dung...... "Speaking of this, Xie An's tone changed, looking at Xu Value, the secretary of the ministry, and said evilly, "Lord Xu doesn't care about what he has now, so ...... What do you want? ”

Xu Zhi, the secretary of the ministry, is not a stupid person after all, so he can't hear the deep meaning contained in Xie An's words.

I don't care about what I have now, the implication is that he Xu Zhi wants to get what he doesn't have yet, and as the six Shangshu from the first product, under the two people and above the ten thousand, what he didn't get is only the position of prime minister and ......

Thinking of the latter, Xu Zhi was frightened into a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly said, "You don't want to spew blood!" ”

"Why is Lord Xu in a hurry?" Xie An asked pretending to be puzzled.

As soon as the words fell, the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who had always had a good tacit understanding with him, smiled when he heard this, "Isn't it the central thing to be said?" - It's a pity, Lord Xu is not the prime minister at the moment, otherwise the little woman would like to see if Lord Xu doesn't even care about the position of prime minister, well, people like Lord Xu who regard fame and fortune as dung don't care about the position of prime minister in the future......"

is worthy of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who is still above Xie An, and in one sentence, Xie An's secret sarcasm of Xu Zhi was taken a step further, and Xu Zhi was given a high hat of premeditated rebellion.

The two of you said a word, but Xu Zhi, the secretary of the ministry, was covered with cold sweat, fell to his knees with a plop, and kowtowed to the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty! ”

The Son of Heaven frowned slightly, it wasn't that he believed the words of Xie An and the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and he also felt that Xu Zhi intended to rebel, what kind of person was Xu Zhi, and as the emperor of the Great Zhou, would he still be unclear?

It's just that one of the six dignified Shangshu was squeezed into chaos by two people who had no official rank at all, and the age was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and they didn't care about the face of the important ministers of the court, and fell to the ground, which is really unseemly!

Those two little babies are not as old as you, you were actually played around by those two little babies, you have been living on a dog for more than 40 years?!

Even the Son of Heaven, who has always paid attention to his own cultivation, can't help but curse secretly in his heart at this moment.

Thinking of this, the Son of Heaven ignored Xu Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Gu Zi said to Xie An, "Xie An, you haven't answered my question yet!" ”

Seeing that the Son of Heaven didn't seem to have a good complexion, Xie An didn't dare to be too presumptuous, arched his hand, impassioned, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, I feel that as the people of the Great Zhou, loyalty to the monarch and the country is a matter of righteousness, and it is a matter of duty, Your Majesty is the father of the Great Zhou, and we are the subjects of the Great Zhou, so we should solve problems for Your Majesty, this is a matter of course!" ”

"And rightfully so...... Is it? When the Son of Heaven heard this, his complexion changed slightly.

"And as for the next personal ambition...... If you say that you are an official in the lower part of the country just to share your majesty's worries, contribute to the court, and contribute to the people, even if you have a clean breeze on your sleeves, even if you don't take the next meal, you won't think about personal gains and losses...... Does Your Majesty believe it? ”

Glancing at Xu Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry who was covered in cold sweat, the Son of Heaven shook his head slightly and said, "Don't believe it! ”

"I don't believe it!" Xie An also shook his head.

The Son of Heaven was stunned, smiled slightly after reacting, and after looking at Xie An deeply, he suddenly turned around and walked towards Long Ting.

Because he has already learned the ability of that little guy named Xie An, it will be in vain to ask any more questions.

It is worth mentioning that when passing by Ruan Shaozhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the Son of Heaven stopped, looked at Ruan Shaozhou and said with a chuckle, "Ruan Aiqing, you have accepted a good student!" ”

Yes?

Ruan Shaozhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was very puzzled when he heard this, and wondered when he would accept Xie An as a student, but seeing that the Son of Heaven was now Long Yan Dayue, he didn't want to explain anything, and said humbly, "Your Majesty is serious, this son is still a stubborn stone, and he needs to be pondered before he can become a great weapon!" ”

"Hehe, I still remember that when I appointed Aiqing as the champion, Xuanwen also said this about you, I can't imagine that a few years later, Aiqing also said this about your students, isn't this also a teacher's biography?"

Of course, Ruan Shaozhou knew that Xuanwen was the expression of his teacher Yingong, and his face turned slightly red when he heard this, and he was a little at a loss.

Seeing this, the Son of Heaven smiled even more, and said with a smile, "Okay, since it is a stubborn stone, Aiqing will think about it, if you can get a piece of jade like Aiqing, it will be a blessing for me, and a blessing for my Great Zhou!" ”

"The minister is a foolish person, and the minister is so praised by His Majesty, the minister is terrified!" Ruan Shaozhou didn't expect the Son of Heaven to praise himself like this, and quickly stood up and kowtowed to thank him.

The Son of Heaven smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, returned to the Dragon Court, and continued to preside over the palace exam, after all, although Xie An showed his face a lot, but the rest of the candidates have not been tested, as the Son of Heaven should be treated equally, how can Li Ji favor one over the other.

Although the Son of Heaven did not name Xie An even once again in the later questioning, this Xie An's name has been firmly remembered by the Son of Heaven.
