Chapter 976: Showy
When Tiankuo heard the name of the third person, his heart suddenly cooled, sure enough, this will still have an impact, but I am afraid that the questions he answers will also have an impact, even if he answers well, he is not as good as others.
But no matter what, he can't be presumptuous, if he is good enough, even if there is this reason, he can compare these people, and he can't admit defeat at this time.
The third man's performance was better than the first, but not as good as the prince.
After hearing this, the prince also secretly glanced at him, and now Tiankuo really hates him, and this person is really too much.
Just because he thought so, the emperor suddenly called him, he didn't react for a while, and he called him a second time before he took a step forward, knelt down, and returned to his identity.
The princes and ministers in this hall all sweated for him, this kid was too bold, and when he arrived at the main hall, he dared to be absent-minded, and the emperor didn't hear him call him.
Thanks to the emperor is a talented gentleman, otherwise it would not be an exaggeration to drag such a person out and cut it directly.
Generally speaking, the emperor asks one question, or two, but when he arrives at Tiankuo, he asks three questions in a row, these questions are really difficult, and Tiankuo is also a little difficult to answer, but he racked his brains and answered everything he could think of smoothly, and he was not in a hurry or impatient, but he couldn't hear that he was a little flustered.
By the time these questions were answered, fine beads of sweat had oozed from his forehead, just because he was covered with a veil, and people outside couldn't see it, Tiankuo thought of the benefits of this veil at this time, although it was a little unruly, which would make the emperor unhappy, but if he was nervous, others couldn't see it, so it was better than others.
Sure enough, everything in the world is good and bad.
The emperor was obviously very interested in Tiankuo's answer, thought about it, and asked him again.
Someone on the side tried to open his mouth to remind, and there were still people waiting behind, but the emperor not only didn't worry, but also asked another person to come out to answer together, that is, the prince.
They were given a difficult question to think separately and then express their opinions.
From this point of view, he was also very interested in that prince just now, this prince's father was an official in the court, but with his official position, he couldn't get to such an occasion today, but he also had people above, and when he saw that the emperor also picked him out, some people began to pay attention, and they didn't know how he would behave.
The topic is a little difficult, and after Wang Gongzi heard the question, his head was big, and he didn't know where to start thinking for a while.
And Tiankuo was still calm, his eyes slightly closed, flipping through the books he had read before in his mind, he didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked him to compete with another person, he couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have so much effort to think about it, so it was better to think carefully about how to answer if he had this time.
The emperor gave them time to make a stick of incense, and Tiankuo only organized the language when he was only half a pillar of incense, and he answered it first.
The emperor was behind the screen, and the ministers outside could not see it, and he did not make a sound, but the chief eunuch who followed him saw it.
The young man outside replied, and the emperor nodded once, it was the first time he had seen the emperor approve of a person so much, and it seemed that this one was going to win a great reputation today.
After Tiankuo finished speaking, it was the turn of the prince, he wiped the sweat on his head, and he was speechless for a while.
The emperor slapped the table, everyone was frightened, and the candidates knelt on the ground at the same time, "I asked you to answer, what are you answering?" After thinking about it for so long, could it be that I only came up with such a few words? ”
In a hurry, the prince could only pick up the words that Tiankuo had said before and jumped out, saying that it meant the same thing as Tiankuo, and it was not as good as Tiankuo.
At this moment, even Tiankuo understood what was going on, no wonder he felt that he had just lost his eyes.
He said, "This prince doesn't look like a person who can read, so why does he answer those questions so smoothly?" Now let him answer another question, and he can't say why.
Thinking that these questions were prepared in advance, only a few ministers could handle them, and the questions asked by the emperor were selected from them, maybe someone missed the questions, so that the prince memorized the answers in advance, no matter what the emperor asked him, he could answer them smoothly, so that he could successfully achieve a good ranking.
No wonder he didn't come over just now, and the prince provoked him so much, saying that he would definitely get a good ranking, it turned out to be the case.
Tiankuo, a young man who is not deeply involved in the world, can anyone else not understand?
But no one dares to say it clearly, such a big thing, who dares to say it clearly, the exam questions are leaked, just wait for the emperor to be angry.
Surprisingly, the emperor didn't say anything, and after asking them, he let them go down, and someone else came over.
Even the chief eunuch beside him couldn't figure it out, the incident just now was not small, with the emperor's temper, no matter how angry he was, it was really strange that he could hold back it.
The four people in the back were already waiting outside the hall, and it would take a while for them to come in, so the emperor patted his leg and said with a smile, "That young man just now is indeed good, it's really rare to meet a good seedling, not bad." ”
He was talking to himself, and he didn't talk to the people around him, who was the chief eunuch? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a roundworm in the emperor's stomach, and with these few words, I already know that that young man will definitely get a good ranking.
Leaving the main hall, the rest of the matter has nothing to do with Tiankuo, he only needs to wait in another place for the ranking, and he will not be able to return until late afternoon today.
When they arrived at the place, the eunuch who had led them was gone, and the prince became angry.
"You're just proud, aren't you? Just above the main hall, want you to be in the limelight? What kind of thing are you, you dare to steal the limelight from Young Master Ben. ”
He didn't answer well just now, and he was already at a loss in his heart, originally he memorized all those questions, thinking that he could be a new champion steadily, but who knew that such a change had happened.
If it weren't for the fact that this person loves Deser too much and says so many things, the emperor would not have made a proposition on the spot on a whim and let them answer, this is good, his efforts are all in vain, and the answer he has memorized for so long has not come in handy now, but let this kid steal the limelight.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't wait to spill this anger now.
