It is a big mistake to be taboo on the exam paper, and I don't know how many people in the past dynasties have fallen behind because of this, although others have not seen Han Fei's answer sheet, but Ruan Changfeng, the first assistant of the cabinet, will never be charged in front of the public, presumably Han Fei's paper does have taboo words.

The ministers in the palace were stunned, they didn't understand how Han Fei could make such a low-level mistake. The most embarrassing thing is the current emperor, he just praised Han Fei's talent, but in a blink of an eye, he was pointed out that the answer sheet was taboo, this is a naked slap in the face, the emperor's face is very ugly, and anger has risen in his eyes.

The happiest person is naturally going to try Yayuan Ruan Wenyuan, his face is full of excitement, there is a sense of champion in hand, if it is not the wrong occasion, he will definitely laugh excitedly.

Ruan Changfeng, the first assistant of the cabinet, said calmly: "Your Majesty, Han Fei is indeed famous, but after all, he is too young and inevitably careless, so he made a move to despise the royal prestige, and Weichen suggested that he be placed in the top three!" ”

A seemingly fluttering suggestion is equivalent to adding another handful of firewood to the fire, especially the statement of "despising the royal prestige", which made the emperor's anger rise even more, and he was about to attack.

Seeing the emperor's expression, the ministers were afraid that it would be difficult for Han Fei's reputation to be preserved, and there was a look of pity in their eyes, especially the cabinet scholar Wang Ziteng and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Gong Jing. Wang Ziteng originally had the intention of taking the opportunity to reconcile with the Han family, but at this time he hesitated again.

Gong Jing, as Han Fei's examiner, if Han Fei was deprived of his fame because of the taboo in his article, all his previous intentions would be in vain, and he would lose face, and he would be implicated. Therefore, he looked at Han Fei's eyes, with both regret and anger, he really didn't understand why Han Fei wanted to die like this.

Suddenly, Gong Jing discovered a strange phenomenon, there was already a rumor in the hall, why was Han Fei still so calm, as if he was talking about someone else's business, could there be another hidden secret? He groaned slightly, and pretended to be angry and shouted: "Han Fei, you actually did such a big disrespectful thing and failed to live up to the love of the saint, what else do you have to say?" ”

Han Fei was waiting for someone to ask, and when he heard this, he glanced at Ruan Changfeng, the first assistant of the cabinet, and bowed to Gong Jing and said, "Teacher, the student has nothing to say, only sigh......"

"Shut up!" Gong Jing drank Han Fei and reprimanded: "What a solemn place is on this hall, what are you sighing for a new tribute?" ”

"Teacher-sama!" Han Fei saluted Gong Jing, and bowed to the sky with both hands in fists, and said solemnly: "I, Emperor Taizu of Dahua, started from the end of Wei, drove out Beihu, established Dahua, and made great achievements in ancient and modern times. Dahua has been passed down to four generations of emperors, and generations of emperors are virtuous, so that Dahua is now peaceful and prosperous. I can't imagine that there are powerful ministers who hold their own power and lean towards the government and the opposition, and they are unscrupulous, and they deceive the king and ......"

"Shut up—" Gong Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Ruan Changfeng, the first assistant of the cabinet, almost shouted in unison to stop Han Fei.

Ruan Changfeng, the first assistant of the cabinet, laughed angrily, pointed at Han Fei, and shouted: "Huangkou Xiaoer, you have made a big mistake, and you still don't want to repent, and you talk about the ministers of the court in vain, where have you read your sage book?" ”

The other ministers in the hall were all stunned when they saw that Han Fei was actually on the same page as Ruan Changfeng, the first assistant of the cabinet, and they stood aside and continued to watch the show. After this period of relaxation, the emperor's face was calm, and his eyes looked at the front lightly, and he couldn't see joy or anger.

Han Fei's expression was not moved by Ruan Changfeng's anger, and he snorted coldly: "Lord Ruan's understanding of the sage book, I don't know, Xiao Ke learned four words from the sage book - loyalty to the monarch and serve the country!" ”

When Gong Jing heard this, he couldn't help but secretly praise, with these four words as the tone, even if the emperor wants to punish it, it will not be too serious. He pondered for a while, and then said: "Han Fei, you sacrificed the method of planting pox to save the people in the south of the Yangtze River, sacrificed yourself to help the people affected by the disaster, and founded the people to declare and promote the idea of loyalty and filial piety, and a heart of loyalty to the monarch and the country, which is known to the world!" But in today's palace exam, why are you so rash and taboo in the test paper? ”

Gong Jing's words reminded everyone of Han Fei's various exploits, and even the emperor's eyes showed a look of approval.

Han Fei was also very grateful to Gong Jing for assisting one after another, and when he heard this, he said: "Teacher, this is also what the disciple doesn't understand, the disciple doesn't understand why Lord Ruan, as the head of the Dahua Cabinet, wants to reverse black and white and confuse the public, is it for the sake of his Ruan family, can he despise the laws of the court and live up to the trust of the king?" ”

"Nonsense!"

Han Fei's words are heart-wrenching, Ruan Changfeng is difficult to bear even if he is the first assistant of the cabinet, if he sits down, the Ruan family will have a disaster. Ruan Changfeng pointed at Han Fei, trembling with anger: "Huangkou Xiaoer, the black and white words are here, you still have to quibble?" How can this official and cabinet chief assistant slander you? ”

After that, Ruan Changfeng played to the emperor again: "Your Majesty, Han Fei's answer sheet is here, which can be verified by all the ministers!" ”

Han Fei didn't wait for the emperor to speak, and hurriedly said: "Lord Ruan, as the head of the cabinet of the scholars of the Huagai Palace, must be extremely familiar with the Dahua Code, dare to ask Lord Ruan, since your lord clearly knows that Emperor Taizu has a testament, and still blames Xiao Ke, what is the purpose?" ”

"Taizu's legacy?"

Some people couldn't help but exclaim, Dahua has been established for so many years, how many people still remember what Taizu's teachings? The ministers in the palace were frantic in their thoughts and stammered.

Where does Ruan Changfeng, the first assistant of the cabinet, remember what Taizu's legacy? He intuitively felt that he was going to hit his feet with a stone today, and he couldn't help but look stunned.

The emperor was shocked, although he didn't remember that Taizu had this testament, but since Han Fei said it in public, he must have something to say, so Han Fei did not despise the royal prestige.

Jingying Jiedu made the cabinet scholar Wang Ziteng, his eyes flashed, and he even wondered if Han Fei had deliberately dug a pit for Ruan Changfeng, the first assistant of the cabinet, if so, then Han Fei was too ...... It's amazing, and it must not be easily offended.

Gong Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was overjoyed, knowing that the situation had completely reversed, so he smiled: "Han Fei, you live up to the emperor's love, and you are very pleased to remember the legacy of Emperor Taizu, and you are very pleased to be the teacher, you can explain the testament of Taizu to the emperor and the ministers now!" ”

"Disciple obeys!" Han Fei saluted the emperor and the ministers again: "Your Majesty, my lords, in the third year of the founding of Dahua, a courtier committed a royal name, and there was a lot of discussion in the court, and Emperor Taizu made a special decree for this, ordering that such incidents should not be taboo!" ”

Who remembers the events of the three years since the founding of the country, but some ministers who have observed their words and expressions immediately made a sudden realization and echoed their voices. Ruan Changfeng, the first assistant of the cabinet, turned pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn't dare to speak.

The emperor glanced at the palace and said in a deep voice: "This matter is over, Han Aiqing is erudite and talented, and he lives up to my expectations, I am very relieved!" List the adults to read the papers carefully and present the results as soon as possible! ”

At this point, the dust has settled, and the results speak for themselves.

The emperor returned to the imperial study and immediately instructed the eunuch to look up the classics of the Taizu Dynasty, and found that what Han Fei said was indeed true, and couldn't help but admire Han Fei's profound knowledge.

A scene in the Wenhua Hall was spread, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that the new champion had been decided.

March 18 was the day of the palace trial list, and the front hall of the Han Mansion was full, and relatives and friends in Beijing came. Many of them are visiting the Han Mansion for the first time, such as He Cuiqin's father He Laocai, Wang Ziteng's son Wang Yi, etc.

"Report, the top student of the Han Mansion High School, the Jinshi and the first!"

The good news official brought the atmosphere of the Han Mansion to a climax, and when Han Fei was about to order his subordinates to set up a wine to celebrate, a shout was shouted outside the door, "The holy decree has arrived!" ”

Although Han Fei has not yet officially become an official, he has also received the holy decree a few times, and hurriedly instructed the housekeeper to set up the incense case to receive the decree.

The eunuch unfolded the holy decree and recited it aloud: "Han Aiqing is erudite and talented, and he is awarded six yuan in the middle of the line, and he is specially given an auspicious plaque ......"
