Zhao Changqing can also be regarded as a generation of heroes, how could he be so insulted.

"Bold! Someone, tie him up and kill him!"

The emperor was furious, this was a big move, and as soon as the words fell, a warrior in front of the palace immediately came up, ready to push Hamantuo out of the palace and behead him.

Although Hamantuo said that he was a little arrogant, he was not a fool, and when he saw that Emperor Dahua was really angry, he couldn't calm down, and said with a hint of panic: "Emperor Dahua, please slow!" As the saying goes: If the two countries mutiniate, they will not be killed..."

Before the goods were finished, the warriors in front of the palace had already tied up Hamantuo and pushed him down the golden hall. At this time, Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, issued a class move: "Your Majesty, according to the opinion of Wei Chen, he should not be beheaded in the future." ”

"Gao Aiqing, my original intention was not to kill Hamantuo, but mainly to ask all Aiqing when he was pushed out of the body, who can interpret the beads and open the bow to descend the beast. Moreover, it also disturbs the majesty of Hamantuo. Zhao Changqing said calmly.

When Gao Hongtu and the ministers heard it, oh, so that's what happened! Yang Xuhui pondered in his heart: I don't know what kind of text it is, I have to take a look at it first, if this is solved at once, it will also let the emperor and the ministers know that I am an extraordinary person. This kid pronounced "sonorous and powerful" as "strong and powerful", and "tiger-eyed" as "tiger-eyed", and regarded him as a laughing stock among his colleagues. At his level, he still wants to be in the limelight!

He asked for a table from Zhao Changqing, looked at it from a distance, looked at it right, looked at it upside down, tossed it for a long time, and didn't know a word. Zhao Xingjiang then looked at it again, and the same was true. After a look, none of the other civil servants could understand this text.

Among the generals, several relied on Zhao Xingjiang. Zhao Xinghe came up, and when he came closer, he tried the bow, and the bow sank a little, and their strength was a little smaller, and they didn't even move the bow, let alone pull it away; Some generals can pick it up, but they can't pull it open. To put it simply, there is no civil and military official who can interpret the table, recognize the pearl, open the bow, and descend the beast.

This time, Zhao Changqing was worried: in the great Hua Dynasty, the text could not interpret the table and recognize the pearls. Wu can't open a bow or surrender beasts. Wouldn't you be laughed at by Bohai County? What face does he have to face the people of the Son of Heaven?

Gao Hongtu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, according to the opinion of the Hui ministers, first put Hamantuo back, and then discuss countermeasures." ”

This reminded Zhao Changqing. There's one tied to the noon gate! Immediately ordered to be put back to Hamantuo. Hamanta walked up to the Golden Temple. Zhao Changqing said: "I originally wanted to behead you. Because of Gao Aiqing's playbook, I will put you back. Nowadays, Dahua is a person who relieves mourning and knows pearls. I have been to various prefectures and counties to inspect, and only after a few months can I return to Beijing to understand the watch and read the pearls. ”

Hamantuo was so frightened, people didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, after all, this is Dahua, it is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and he can't be lazy. So he also said happily: "Okay, how about giving a 100-day deadline?"

"Yes." Why didn't Zhao Changqing raise the bow and descend the beast? What he pondered was: The bow is so heavy, the beast is so fierce, can you have a person in Bohai County who opens the bow and descends the beast? If so, give it a try! I'd better think about finding a master to solve Qiu Zhizhu first! So, I didn't mention it.

Hamantuo went down to the palace and did not mention it. Zhao Changqing and the ministers summed up, how to find the people who understand the table and know the pearls.

Gao Hongtu came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, according to the opinion of Weichen, the Holy Decree, Enke Wenchang, recruit talents, it is not difficult to understand the table and recognize the pearls. ”

"In Gao Aiqing's opinion." Zhao Changqing was the first to be the main exam, and Gao Hongtu was ordered to be the main exam, and Zhao Xingjiang and Zhao Xinghe were the deputy examiners, and the fifteenth year was opened. Zhao Changqing felt that he had a bit of a bottom on the matter of interpreting the table and knowing the pearls, and naturally remembered the string of opening the bow and descending the beast: Why don't I send officials out of Beijing to find the person who opened the bow and lowered the beast? Who will you send? Send Zhou Anwu! The reason why Zhao Changqing thought of Zhou Anwu was because he was a famous family and a family of generals, and he was loyal and loyal. Therefore, I think it is best for him to do this errand.

Zhao Changqing finished dispatching and returned to the palace. The next day, Zhou Anwu hurried out of Beijing with his men and horses, looking for a fierce general who could draw a bow and surrender beasts. At this time, there was a personable middle-aged scribe in the capital, surnamed Meng, naturally Hao. This Meng Ranhao can also be regarded as a genius in this time and space, reciting Liujia at the age of five, watching hundreds of schools at the age of ten, and viewing strange books at the age of fifteen. He is not only brilliant in writing, but also extraordinary in swordsmanship. He traveled all over the world. He is interested in everything, has experienced a lot, and has seen a wide range of things, as if he does not know the things in the world, and can be said to be a "genius".

Meng Ranhao is good at drinking, where there is famous wine, he is not afraid of high mountains and long roads, and he has to drink it. He also has a characteristic, a point of wine, a point of talent; Ten points of wine, ten points of talent. The more wine you drink, the more poems you write. Meng Ranhao entered the capital and lived in the Wangjia store in the east of Nanjie Road. The owner of the store is called Wang Sihai, and Taibai lived for a few days. Wang Sihai saw that Meng Ranhao finished drinking wine and exported it. The sentences are poems, and Zhilu said that he was a master, and said with a smile: "Mr. Meng, you go to register, now in the Shengshang Enkewen Field, almost all the people who live in our store have gone to register." I see that you are only eight years old, and you are rich in five cars, and none of them are as good as you. If you go to register, you can be sure. ”

Meng Ranhao is also a lively lord, as soon as he heard this, he thought that there was nothing to do if he was idle anyway, so I went to take a look, maybe it was really hit?

When I came to the registration booth, I saw a lot of people in groups of three or five, ten or eight in a pile, talking about something. When he came to the door of the registration shed, the two little eunuchs shouted, "Stop." What do you do?"

"Registered."

"Bring it!" The little eunuch stretched out his hand as he spoke, his face tilted towards him, and he didn't put Meng Ranhao in his heel at all.

"Okay, you wait a minute." Meng Ranhao took out the three coins from his arms and put them in the hands of the little eunuch. The eunuch took a look and became angry: "Wow, you kid is clearly making fun of me!" As he spoke, he threw the pennies on the ground.

"You don't want me." Meng Ranhao picked it up, picked it up, and asked the little eunuch, "Is there a price code?"

"Yes."

"How much?"

"Twenty taels of silver."

"Oh, it costs twenty taels to enter the door when registered, how many taels does it cost to enter the examination room? How many taels do you get to buy a champion?' The little eunuch is a product, this is not right: "Go and go!" Knocked Meng Ranhao away.

Zhao Xingjiang and Zhao Xinghe, two brothers, although they don't deal with each other much, both of them love money. So they discussed it in private, and they wanted to take this opportunity to register and make a lot of money. As for the money earned, the two of them will share it equally. So, as soon as the registration sign entered the door, he would receive twenty taels of silver.

Meng Ranhao walked not far away, and heard a discussion over there: "Look, there is another one for nothing, and there is no money for people to bombard them back." ”

"What is this worldly way? As soon as you enter the door, you will need 20 taels of silver, how can there be so much silver? There is no silver and there is no number. If you can't get in, you can't enter the venue. If you can't get in, you'll be a fart!"

"You are easy to do shortcuts, like me, who came from afar, ten years of hard work, and went bankrupt to get to Panchuan. As a result, I couldn't even get into the exam room. Isn't this a trip for nothing?"

"Your Majesty Enkowen field. It's a recruitment, but it's not a recruitment! Isn't that a solicitation of money?" The crowd complained and was helpless.

I gritted my teeth with a little hatred. Some were so anxious that they shed tears. Meng Ranhao stepped forward and said, "Brothers, don't be sad, what's the use of crying?" What's the use of resentment? You should find a way. ”

"What can you do?"

"Let me ask you, do you have the guts?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"If you have the guts, let's go to the palace to sue the king. If the emperor approves it, we will win this lawsuit; If not, we will either be blasted out or thrown into prison, or we will die. Everyone praised this good method again and again.

Someone said, "May I ask what is your surname, sir?" My surname is Meng, and my name is Ranhao. "Brother Ran Hao, thousands of people walk, one person leads, we are Brother Ran Hao."

"Listen to me. Let's go!" Meng Ranhao led a hundred or so lifters, and when he was about to reach the cross street, he could no longer move forward, because the gong in front of him opened the way, the right whip and the right stick, the right pair of iron locks and the right rope, holding the fan and fanning the red Luo umbrella, one by eight to carry the sedan chair, one person sitting in the sedan chair, wearing a black yarn, wearing a python robe, embroidering a dragon, a jade belt on the waist, and a foot on the court boots. This person is none other than Deputy Envoy Zhao Xinghe.

As soon as the crowd saw the eight sedan chairs, they knew that the officials who sat in the sedan chair were insignificant. Someone said: "Brother Ran Hao, it's not easy for us to go to the palace to face the king, what if we can't see the emperor?" It's better to stop the sedan chair here and shout injustice!" As soon as the lifter finished speaking, many lifters said: "Yes, yes, yes!" Then he shouted, "Wronged! Wronged!" Crackling, kneeling down a large piece.

Zhao Xinghe listened to the shouting, ordered the sedan chair to be dropped, and ordered someone to bring the person who shouted injustice over to talk back. Someone shouted: "Shouting the wronged, etc., which one is the leader?" Come forward and talk back!"

Everyone said, "Brother Ran Hao, go quickly!"

Meng Ranhao stepped forward unhurriedly. Zhao Xinghe looked at Meng Ranhao and asked, "What's your name?" What are you waiting for?" Meng Ranhao reported his name and said: "It is only because of the emperor's Enkewen field that I came to the capital from all over the country to take the exam." Who expected that the registration would have to be tattooed with twenty taels of silver? I don't know if this year's Enkewen field is recruiting talents, or recruiting money? I want the Golden Palace to face the king, and ask for understanding. If it is for the sake of recruiting money, we will not go to Beijing to take the exam in the future; If it is for the purpose of recruiting talents, then there must be a corrupt official among them who wants to take this opportunity to make a fortune, and we will sue him for a case and eliminate harm for the country! ”

These words frightened Zhao Xinghe and thought: It's so dangerous! Fortunately, I met these poor people, otherwise, this matter would have been a big problem! Okay, you're Meng Ranhao, let's see! Thinking of this, he pretended to be angry and shouted: "How can the registrant dare to ask the lifters for silver taels!" The envoy pretended to shout this voice, paused for a while, and said to Meng Ranhao in a relaxed tone: "Don't be angry, this official will make you the master and deal with the people who blackmail the people." You follow the official, and the official will register you, spend nothing, and take the exam on time. ”

Zhao Xinghe went home, asked everyone to leave their names one by one, said that this was the end of the registration, and asked everyone to enter on schedule. In fact, this little early has already made up his mind in his heart: You poor people have left all your names in my hands, and I will let you take the test in vain, and you will not be admitted to any of them! At dawn on the fourteenth, the examinees were busy.

The fifteenth exam, the eighth exam room is the night of the fourteenth, the third watch is admitted, the fourth watch is an article, and the fifth watch is handed in. When entering, each person receives a bamboo stick, and the bamboo stick has a number, and the examination booth in the literary field is one by one, and the child is seated with the right number.

The lights in the shed were brilliant, and the roll call officer named him, and the inspector performed orange ducks on each lifter, and he was not allowed to carry a good article on his body. The exam will be held on the fourth watch, and the children will be composed according to the questions. After reading the topic, Meng Ranhao pondered for a moment, dipped his pen in ink, brushed and brushed, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, all in one go. He read it from beginning to end, and was the first to hand in the exam paper.

Zhao Xinghe saw that this test lane belonged to Meng Ranhao. Sneered three times, swished, swished, ten lines at a glance, rubbed after reading, snapped! Fell to the ground. It turned out that this kid told Zhao Xingjiang that Meng Ranhao led the crowd to ask Jin Dianmian to file a complaint, and they had already decided: none of these people would be admitted.

Gao Hongtu, who was the main examiner, didn't know these inside information, and saw Zhao Xinghe finish rubbing the exam papers, fell to the ground again, and asked Zhao Xinghe: "Your Highness." What does that mean?"

Zhao Xinghe said hesitantly: "This article was written by a fanatic. It's not worth watching. Gao Hongtu said: "Since the emperor ordered me to take the main exam, no matter how good or bad the article is, I have to read it!" Someone, bring the exam papers. "Someone picked up the exam papers. didn't wait to show Gao Hongtu. Zhao Xingjiang intercepted it first. After reading it, he spitted: "Phew, what a fanatic!" Gao Hongtu said: "I also want to see what kind of crazy life it is!"

Someone picked it up. Gao Hongtu watched it from beginning to end and was full of praise. Zhao Xingjiang listened to this and said: "Gao Hongtu, I don't know where he copied this article, such an arrogant person will never have real talent and real learning."

Gao Hongtu said: "Now that the lifters haven't been released, you can call this person to Caishan Hall, we might as well ask to see if he has real talent and learning." "Zhao Xingjiang ordered someone to pass on Meng Ranhao. With little effort, Meng Ranhao came to Caishan Hall and looked up to see a person sitting in it, dressed as a prince, with a fat head and big ears, and a pair of mouse eyes. The garlic nose is a toad's mouth, a sideways face, and a face full of anger. Meng Ranhao guessed: This guy is not a prince. He looked to both sides, oh, it was another prince he met on the street, and then he looked at another person: his face was like an ancient moon, his eyebrows were kind, his silver beard was fluttering, and he was a ball of righteousness.

Meng Ranhao hated Zhao Xingjiang and Zhao Xinghe, the two deputy envoys, from the bottom of his heart, so he stepped forward to meet Gao Hongtu alone.

Zhao Xingjiang was very angry when he saw this scene, pointed at Meng Ranhao with his hand, and asked, "Are you Meng Ranhao?"

"Exactly."

"Where did you copy this article?"

"I wrote the article, so how can I say where it was copied from?"

"You said that you wrote this article, how can this official believe it? It's clearly copied. ”

"Since the examiner believes that the essay was copied, then please tell the examiner where it was copied from? Who's copying it?" This moment stopped Zhao Xingjiang, and he couldn't speak. glanced at Zhao Xinghe vigorously, which means: "You hurry up and say a few words, how uncomfortable I am here!"

Zhao Xinghe comprehended, deliberately coughed first, and then said: "Meng Ranhao, you said that your article was not copied, and this official will come up with another question, you may do it?"

"What's so hard about that!"

"Do you dare to pair up with this official?"

"Why don't you dare!"

"This official is out of the upper link."

"I'm right for the next sentence."

"In the mountains where the two apes cut the wood, the monkeys dare to saw?" Zhao Xinghe, this kid is really bad, and his last sentence is a pun, which superficially means: "Two monkeys want to cut off trees in the mountains, and this monkey dares to fight against each other?" Here, he used homophonic words, which are "saw" on the surface, but are actually "sentences". This is actually saying, "You monkey dare to say to each other?" He not only scolded Meng Ranhao for being a monkey, but also had contempt.

Zhao Xinghe shook his head and finished speaking, complacent, squinting at Meng Ranhao with the pair of toad eyes.

Meng Ranhao sneered twice, opened his mouth and said the next sentence: "When a horse is stuck in the mud, how can a beast get out of its hooves!" Meng Ranhao was not polite to Yang Xuhui at all, and the next sentence was also a semantic pun, which meant on the surface: "A horse has fallen into a mud pit, how can this beast pull out its hooves!" Here, Meng Ranhao also used homophonic words, the surface is the word "hoof", but it is actually the word "inscription". This is actually saying, "You brute can still solve the problem!" Gao Hongtu secretly exclaimed in his heart: "That's right! That's right!"

When Zhao Xinghe heard this, he was so angry that he trembled, and a pair of toad eyes stared at him! secretly shouted: "Okay, you Meng Ranhao, I scolded you for being a monkey, you scolded me for being a beast, you don't eat at all, you scold me so hard!" What more can I say?......"

He tried hard for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out. This kid really can't get out of the "hoof"! At this time, Zhao Xingjiang relieved himself and said, "Meng Ranhao, this official will test you in the last sentence." ”

"Please."

"I dream of spring, I don't know winter and summer." The word "闱" was in the feudal imperial examination era. The examination room is called the Autumn, and the examination room in the autumn is called the Autumn Examination. Zhao Xingjiang, this kid is also a pun. Do you think, who of us normal people doesn't know that it is cold in winter and hot in summer? Unless it's a madman. He is scolding Meng Ranhao for wanting to enter the examination room to get an official and a half-job, just because you are a madman, it is purely a dream!

Gao Hongtu listened to this sentence and secretly scolded Zhao Xingjiang: You are really damaged and poisonous! Speaking of pregnancy, you are the examiner. How can you scold people like your brother! Saying that you are poisonous, you shouldn't take up all the spring, summer, autumn and winter, how is this called Meng Ranhao?

Meng Ranhao said casually: "Look at the South Palace guarding the North Palace, I also need things!" It's also a pun on what it means: You want this thing in the palace! When Gao Hongtu heard this, he was completely conquered by his intelligence, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart that Meng Ranhao was really talented! Wizard!

Zhao Xingjiang and Zhao Xinghe can't stand this blow! I wanted to humiliate Meng Ranhao, but I was humiliated by others. Zhao Xingjiang was annoyed and angry, snapped, slapped the desk, and shouted: "Come on, drive this madman out of the city!" (To be continued......)
