After the Twelve Princes stood aside with a sad face, the early dynasty finally returned to normal again. [No pop-up novel network]

It's just that after he made such a fuss, the original solemn atmosphere was completely destroyed, although the new scholars were still looking forward to Emperor Chu Ling's reward for them, but the civil and military officials were already a little excited.

Of course, those who are really in high positions, such as Zhang Qian and Wang Han, are still very concerned about the next reward.

Xiao Mo was favored by Emperor Chu Ling, and everyone knew that Zhang Yansheng was the grandson of Zhang Qian, and they all had a bright future. What positions these two people will hold, how many official positions they have, and whether they hold real power and participate in court politics will all have a far-reaching impact on the trend of court forces in the future.

At the suggestion of Emperor Chu Ling, a scholar walked in front of the Huang case, took out a candidate's answer sheet selected by Emperor Chu Ling, and read it aloud in public.

"Ge, come and mouth, and still things. The ancients said that if they know the good, they will come to the good. If they know the depths of evil, they will come to evil things. Words and things come to people's favorites. Sincerely, or so. Those who know things in the realm, if they can learn, they will be known. Grid, come also. What is already known can lie in the coming thing; If you know the depth of good, you will come to good things, and if you know the depth of evil, you will come to evil things. Words of good deeds come as people do good, and evil things come as people do evil. Words of good and evil come. Fate is also favored. The one who is good at knowing things. When things come, they know where their good and evil go. When good things come, we know that they are good, and if evil things come, we know that they are evil. If you can know it, you will do good and not evil."

"People should not be afraid of good and evil, and be ashamed of what is right. However, those who are good and are covered with fog, and those who are evil and are not are many. Why? All things are tempting, and things are compelling. And as far as Mo Zhizhi knows; The rich sprinkle their wisdom, and the poor and lowly scare their hearts. Ge, Yu Ye, Yu also. can slam foreign objects, and then be able to know that the Tao D Zheng family is coming to the grid, or it is still not the meaning of the ancients......"

“…… Grid, to also. Things, as well as things, are also pushed to the reason of things, and they want to be everywhere. The so-called knowledge is in the object, and the words want to know the thing, and the thing is exhausted. The soul that covers people's hearts is all knowing, and the things of the world. It doesn't make sense. However, there is no end to reason, so there is no end to it. It is the ruler of the University that repeats the teachings of the Ruler so that the scholars, that is, all the things in the world, will benefit the poor because of their known principles, so as to reach the extreme. As for the long time of exertion, once it is suddenly penetrated, the surface of all things is coarse, and the whole of my heart is not clear. This is the personality of things, this is the jealousy of knowledge",

What I read is the "Theory of Things" in the three answer sheets written by Xiao Mo!!

After the palace examination, according to Chanju, before the award, the university scholars will read aloud the answer sheet articles of the new science and technology scholars selected by the emperor, one is to convince the public with the article, showing the foundation of the palace examination to win the rank by talent, and the other is to show the prosperity of the culture of the Chu Dynasty. to show the importance that the Chu Dynasty attached to the literati.

And when the scholar reads the article aloud, according to the convention, the next step should be the praise of the ministers. First of all, he praised the beauty and ornificence of the article. The talents of this palace examination are prosperous, and then they are praising the Chu Dynasty for its talents and culture, and finally all the credit is attributed to the emperor, and the emperor is praised for his education......

Although these are not explicitly stipulated, they have long been established since the Tang Dynasty and have rarely changed. At the beginning of the courtiers' entry into the court, the officials of the Ministry of Rites would also explain to them similar customs and rules one by one.

However, this time the situation is different.

As the Hanlin scholar shook his head and read Xiao Mo's answer sheet aloud with a look of intoxication, there was silence in the court. But no one spoke to praise him.

When I turned my head to look, I saw that the civil and military officials were all immersed in hard thinking at the moment, thinking carefully about the words recited by the scholar of Hallym University just now.

Xiao Mo's article, when the Han and Tang dynasties were quoted at the beginning, they were decent, although the ministers listened attentively, but they didn't think so, however, Xiao Mo suddenly turned his pen and extended to the theory of good and evil, the current point of science, so that the ministers couldn't help but praise while feeling refreshed, and when it came to the final summary, Gong Mo talked about some of the later generations' mental views, of course, these mental views are still relatively simple, and they are all in line with the situation of the Chu Dynasty, even so, The various ideas of the new temple still aroused the contemplation of the ministers. At first glance, I only felt fresh, but then the more I thought about it, the more it made sense, and I couldn't help but indulge in it.

After all, in the Chu Dynasty, people who can rank in the court. No matter how intrigue he is on weekdays, selling dung and power, his knowledge is difficult in Shilin. At least it is at the level of a great Confucian at the local level, otherwise it cannot be tolerated in the court at all.

Therefore, the various views expressed in Xiao Mo's "Theory of Rulers and Things" have brought about the influence of the divine seed. The ministers have all checked, and the literati are instinctive. For a while, they all forgot all the words of praise. Just stood there frowning and pondering the meaning of the article.

On the other hand, the twelve princes did not have the knowledge of the ministers, and when they saw that the civil and military officials were all silent at the moment, they couldn't help but be secretly happy in their hearts, first, they felt that this was the ministers who swept away the face of Emperor Ling, and secondly, they thought that this was a great opportunity to curry favor with Emperor Chu Ling and relieve Emperor Chu Ling's suspicion of himself.

After no one responded, the twelve princes took a step forward and came out first, "Good article, good knowledge, Xiao Zhuangyuan can write such an article, it is worthy of everyone in the literary world, it is better to meet than to be famous, this king is obedient."

After the Twelve Princes bowed their hands to Xiao Mo, they turned their heads and praised Emperor Chu Ling: "Brother Huang, my Great Chu can produce such a young talent as Xiao Zhuangyuan, which shows that my Great Chu has many talents and prosperous culture, and it can also show that Brother Huang, you have a good way of educating the world, and you are really a wise monarch through the ages......"

Emperor Chu Ling was not dissatisfied with the silence of his ministers, but after he first heard Xiao Moli's words, was he so surprised?

Seeing this situation at this time, Emperor Chu Ling still felt a little proud in his heart, after all, the book of Neglect Theory was jointly written and perfected by him and Xiao Mo. And hey, the weeping of things is just one aspect of the sac of fork science

But hearing the praise of the Twelve Princes, Emperor Chu Ling couldn't help frowning, sighed, waved his hand to interrupt the Twelve Princes' gushing praise, and asked, "Xiao Zirou's article is indeed exquisite. But what Rang Lian didn't expect was that the Twelve Princes, your knowledge has been so advanced, and the ministers of my court are all contemporary Confucians, and when they are still wondering and pondering for this article, the Twelve Princes have already noticed the subtleties first, can you explain it to the ministers here, and let the Liaison Commander insight?

When he was reciting the article in the university before, the Twelve Princes had been distressed by the fact that all the dead soldiers he had worked so hard to cultivate had been confiscated, and he hadn't heard it at all, so how could he perceive the subtleties of this Han Ge Wu Commentary? For a while, he was speechless, and returned to his original position in embarrassment. There was a glint of resentment in his eyes.

However, the words of the Twelve Princes also woke up the ministers from their contemplation, only to see Zhang Qian take the lead in the ranks, bow to Emperor Chu Ling first, and say: "Weichen has been assisting the government for nearly thirty years, and has witnessed nine palace examinations before and after, and has also listened to the scholars recite countless articles of new science and technology scholars in this palace. But there has never been an article so subtle, congratulating Your Majesty on being so talented as Xiao Zhuangyuan to enter the court.

Next, it was the privy envoy Wang Han who came out of the ranks, bowed and saluted: "My dynasty has many talents, culture is prosperous, and Your Majesty is blessed." ”

Then, Wang Han turned to Xiao Mo and said: "I have benefited a lot from hearing Xiao's article today, congratulations to Xiao, and I will open another family." ”

With the drive of Zhang Qian and Wang Han. The ministers came out one after another, or praised Xiao Mo's articles, or praised the cultural prosperity of the Chu Dynasty, or praised Emperor Chu Ling's education of the world.

At the same time, although the new science and technology scholars couldn't interject, they all looked at Xiao Mo with great admiration.

Before, when they learned that Xiao Mo had won the top prize, they also took it for granted. But there was no doubt in my heart that the reason why Xiao Mo became the top champion was because his prestige and status in the literary world were too high, and his performance in the palace examination might not be much better than others.

However, when they heard Xiao Mo's article on things, they no longer had this kind of doubt in their hearts, but they all looked at Xiao Mo who was standing at the forefront with admiration, and secretly sighed in their hearts, sure enough, he was a man of great fame.

On the other side, Zhang Yansheng also frowned and pondered for a long time, with a look of admiration on his face, and took advantage of the congratulations of the ministers, he turned his head and whispered to Xiao Mo: "Zirou is talented, Yansheng is ashamed of himself, this palace test is from Zirou to become the champion, it is really expected."

In the face of the praise and gaze of the ministers, Xiao Mo still remained calm, and his expression was not shocked. After hearing Zhang Yansheng's words, he only smiled slightly, nodded his head, and didn't say anything more.

Because Yang Mo is very good, when the book of Bi Lixue was born, he was already standing at the top of Confucianism, no matter how much praise he received, it was useless, proud, and even more superficial.

And his future direction and goal is no longer the literary world, but the court, here, except for having the favor of Emperor Chu Ling, he has no advantage, so he should be cautious and cautious.

Emperor Chu Ling looked at Xiao Mo, who was still calm in His Royal Highness, but the look of appreciation in his eyes became more and more prosperous, and after the ministers congratulated him, he first praised the new scholars, and then nodded to the eunuchs who were waiting beside him, and commanded: "Sangui, declare the decree." ”

After hearing Emperor Chu Ling's order, the eunuch Fei Sangui took a step forward, held the holy decree, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty has a decree, and all the new science and technology scholars will receive the decree."

As the eunuch's words fell, led by Xiao Mo, a group of salary scholars knelt on the hall one after another.

And the courtiers who were still thinking about Xiao Mo's article just now were in high spirits, and their eyes were blazing towards the eunuch who announced the decree.

Everyone knows that the main event is coming!!
