Chapter 289: The Golden Palace Test (2)
Zhu Houzhao rushed back to the harem all the way, came in and sat in front of Xia Xiaomei, so angry that Junjun's face turned red.
"They all say long live in their mouths, everyone kneels to the emperor, and they are respectful on the surface, but they have to stop me from making my debut, so what's wrong with me asking!"
Xia Xiaomei was embroidering flowers in front of the window, and she couldn't help but wonder when she saw him like this,
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
Zhu Houzhao snorted angrily, and pointed to Qiu Judao, who followed behind,
"You...... You're here to report to the Queen! ”
Qiu Ju hurriedly stepped forward to talk about the things ahead, and finally glanced at the emperor and whispered,
"Slave! The slave and maid also felt that the elders were ...... The elders disrespected His Majesty......"
Although he also felt that this topic was inappropriate, but His Majesty is the king, and the king has no jokes that he has spoken, so he should follow the rules, and if he says that it is a test question, he must also kill people, doesn't it say that the three outlines and five constants, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die?
Zhu Houzhao nodded thoughtfully,
"That's right! They clearly still treat me as a child, and they want me to do whatever they want, and they don't have any freedom! ”
Xia Xiaomei laughed when she heard this, and pointed at Zhu Houzhao and said,
"Your Majesty is stupid! Those old men have lived for half their lives, and they are all smelly and hard stones in the latrine, and they do things in a straightforward way, old-fashioned and stubborn, rigid and stubborn, and do not know how to change...... Your Majesty rashly wants to change the norm, they will not will, and you don't know how to force them to comply, so naturally they will return home! ”
Zhu Houzhao said curiously when he heard this,
"What can be done to get them to comply?"
Xia Xiaomei thought for a while and said,
"I don't like to read since I was a child, and I love to read those love-loving little talk books, my mother won't allow me to read them, and often come to search my study, but if I find a small talk book, I will confiscate it! It was only later that I learned wisely, and put the cover of a serious book on the outside of the notebook, and placed it on the desk in such a dignified manner, and my mother was stunned that I didn't notice it once......"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and picked his cheeks, and said,
"Your Majesty, won't you have that question read out in public and then have it transcribed? I want to let them transcribe it and then distribute it, as long as it is read out in public, then Chrysostom Yuyan has not changed, to put it slowly, let them say what is a chivalry, that is, ask them what is a dog, what is a cat, they have to rack their brains to write it down, can the elders of the pavilion still refute your words in public? ”
Zhu Houzhao listened to it and thought about it carefully, and suddenly his right hand hammered between the palm of his left hand.
"Ah! How could I not have thought of it! ”
Then he said to his chagrin,
"I came back from the Golden Palace in a hurry, and now most of them have redrafted the test questions, and the palace test must have begun!"
Xia Xiaomei smiled,
"This is easy to do? Doesn't Your Majesty want to ask them what they think? They will select the best ten test papers for Your Majesty to read, and Your Majesty will also personally order the champions, Bangyan and Tanhua, and when they kneel under the jade steps to thank them, Your Majesty will ask them to see who dares to stop them! ”
Zhu Houzhao jumped up with great joy when he heard this,
"Little sister, this idea is really good! I'll go now! ”
Zhu Houzhao rushed out of the Golden Palace, and ran back in a hurry, several examiners in the hall had already known what was happening in front of him, and when he saw that His Majesty was walking in front of him, his face was still cloudy, and he turned around after a while, and it was cloudy and sunny again, and he couldn't help muttering secretly in his heart,
"This majesty is really a young man, a little wind and a little rain, I don't know what kind of madness this is!"
They were strange in their hearts, but they still had to do business, so they waited until the end of the palace examination, and selected ten good articles for His Majesty's imperial review, Zhu Houzhao's stomach The ink in his stomach was really not as good as the many learned people in this palace, and after reading ten articles, he asked a few graders with a very pleasant face,
"What do you think Aiqing should be headed by?"
The crowd recommended three of them,
"Your Majesty, the ministers and others will discuss these three articles, and they should be the first three!"
can be in the top three, the natural level is between the two, push three out and let the emperor see, the emperor looks at whose article fits his eye, and then he clicks on whose champion is!
Only today Zhu Houzhao wanted to be a maverick, so he asked the ministers,
"Who are these three? Call me and let me see it! ”
This room really called the three people up, Zhu Houzhao took a look at the three people, among them was the brother who had a deep tattoo on his head, Zhu Houzhao said secretly in his heart,
"Hey, hey! Now you can look at people in a bright light! ”
Coughed at the moment and said,
"Heads up, all of you!"
The three of them raised their heads according to the order, and Zhu Houzhao took the opportunity to look at this person, and saw that he was born with good facial features, but his face was dark-skinned, and the furrows on his face were of different depths, and he looked very old, and the two next to him, although they also had short and thick beards under the chin, and the corners of their eyebrows and eyes were flat and flat, they were much younger than him!
Zhu Houzhao asked the man,
"What's your name? Where? Parents at home? Who else is in the family? ”
When the man heard that His Majesty the young Emperor would have a family affair with him, he couldn't help but be flattered and replied,
"Your Majesty, the minister's surname is Li Mingchun, he is a native of Qingyang Mansion, Shaanxi, his parents died early, and his four brothers and two sisters are ...... but the firstborn! ”
Zhu Houzhao listened,
"Oh, it turns out that this is the eldest son in the family, no wonder he looks so old, I think it's because he pulls his younger siblings too hard!"
This person has to raise a family and study, and it is difficult to imagine that he can have today's achievements!
At the moment, he asked the two people next to him, and the two of them reported their own door, Zhu Houzhao said secretly in his heart when he heard it,
"Among these three people, Li Chun's family is poor, and he looks very pitiful, so I named him as the champion, so that he can also glorify his ancestors!"
At that moment, he waved his pen and clicked on Li Chun's article to everyone in the hall.
"I'll make him the champion!"
Everyone knelt on the ground one after another, Zhu Houzhao nodded very satisfied, looked around and suddenly pointed at Li Chun,
"You...... Let's talk about it, what is chivalry? ”
As soon as he said this, the faces of everyone in the hall changed, and the faces of the eight examiners were as black as the bottom of a pot.
"What did you tell this person earlier? How...... Is this not dead yet? ”
Li Dongyang's expression did not move, but he secretly wiped his sweat in his heart and said,
"How do I know! The emperor saw that he couldn't do anything, so he gave up, but he didn't expect to wait here! ”
How did they know that this was because His Majesty the Emperor had received "guidance from a master"!
When the emperor asked abruptly, everyone was stunned, but Li Chun didn't panic and thought about it.
"Your Majesty, Han Feizi once said among the five beetles, Confucianism is chaotic with literature, chivalry is forbidden with martial arts, and people are both courtesy, so it is chaotic. The husband is guilty of the law, and the kings of the past are ...... by literature In fact, Han Feizi is talking about five kinds of social moths, Confucianism uses articles to disrupt law and order, quibbles to reverse black and white, rangers use force to bully people and violate prohibitions, but the monarch has to treat them with courtesy, which is the root cause of national chaos. Those who broke the law should have been convicted, but those Confucian scholars were appointed by virtue of the doctrine of articles; Those who violated the ban should have been punished, and the rangers were supported by acting as assassins...... This is Han Feizi's saying that the country should be governed by the legal system, and everyone needs to act according to the law, not above the law, but Weichen thinks that it is a chivalrous man in the pre-Qin countries, and now the world is called a chivalrous man, mostly praising martial arts, seeing righteousness and courage, and sacrificing himself to help others......"
Li Chun talked eloquently, Zhu Houzhao listened to it with relish, and pointed to the two of them on the same side, the two of them really deserve to be well-educated, and they are also the first to say, Zhu Houzhao listened to it very satisfied, when His Royal Highness gave three jade medals, and three unicorn robes, the three of them knelt down to thank them.
After the palace test, Zhu Houzhao gave the Qionglin banquet again, and then the three of them will play horses and parade the streets, and accept the worship of the people of Beijing, there is no matter of Zhu Houzhao, he smiled and turned back to the harem, and saw Xia Xiaomei happy to go up and hug him,
"Little sister, it's really my Zhang Liang, Zhang Zifang!"
Xia Xiaomei laughed when she heard this,
"Your Majesty, the concubine is just a lot of wits and courage with her mother at home, so she has a little experience! After that, His Majesty will fight more with the ministers, and he will naturally be better than the concubines, and the concubines should not be praised by His Majesty! ”
The two emperors and queens rolled onto the couch in a ball, and Zhu Houzhao smiled proudly,
"You haven't seen it today! When I asked what a chivalrous sentence was in front of everyone in the palace, the faces of those old ministers were almost sinking to the soles of their feet! ”
Then he snorted,
"They all want to lock me up in this palace and be their puppets, so I won't do what they want!"
Saying that, he and Xia Xiaomei fell comfortably on the big pillow,
"In the future, I must travel to the rivers and lakes, fight in the south and the north, and be a general if I am not a chivalrous man!"
Xia Xiaomei nodded and said,
"Your Majesty, there must be such a day, and you must bring your concubines at that time!"
"Good!"
Xia Xiaomei originally thought that today's words were just a kind of imagination of the future of the husband and wife, but she didn't expect that her husband, who was really worthy of being a child from a little bear to an adulthood, would be so bold that he dared to throw down the government of this country, the queen mother, the queen mother and herself, and ran away like this!
This is how it happened, but it was said that after this palace test, the Enke Jushi in this world would be considered to be over, naturally a few families were happy and a few were sad, and the two sons-in-law of the Han Mansion were as their father-in-law expected, Xu Zhimao won the second rank sixteenth, but Xia Wenbin was ranked first and eighty-fifth, although it was not considered to be among the best, but it was also considered very good!
Especially Xia Wenbin, he was the second son in the family, he couldn't inherit the title, and if he wanted not to rely on his father and brother, he had to find a way out.
At this time, it was obvious that the benefits of having a father-in-law who was in charge of the ministry came, and Han Shifeng had already made a point for the two of them before the imperial examination, but it made them take many detours less than the same department in the same year next to them.
