Chapter 717: Lifting a Stone and Throwing It on Your Feet
The prince was secretly vigilant in his heart, his brows were furrowed, he raised his hands high, signaled everyone to be quiet, and after everyone was quiet, he bowed his hand in the direction of Shenjing, and said in a loud voice: "The lonely generation of the Son of Heaven supervises the country, shepherds and guards the eight directions, relying on Your Majesty's sage, and ruling by the arch, all of you who are officials should think of the emperor's grace, be loyal to the country, and serve the people, and do not mistake yourself and mislead others, so as not to poison one side and bring disaster to the country and the people;
"Today, the Lonely Son of Heaven is giving relief to Taiyang, you must not panic and make your own confusion, lest it cause a disaster and make matters worse! Lone promises you that you will never let the people starve to death or freeze to death! When the water recedes, I will arrange for everyone to return to their homes and help everyone rebuild their homes! As for the matter of Taishou, I will give an explanation to the people and the world!"
The people couldn't quite understand the meaning of the first half of the prince's words, but they could understand the meaning of the second half of the words, and they excitedly shouted again: "Long live the prince, long live!!"
The crown prince immediately bowed down in the direction of Shenjing in a loud voice, and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live long live, long live, long live!"
The surrounding officials are all old fritters, and they all bowed down and shouted loudly, and they soon became infected and affected the surrounding people, they all learned in a good way, knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of Shenjing, and shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live long live, long live, long live!"
The people were naïve and blindly obedient, what the prince said, they followed what to do, but they didn't think about it carefully, why did Daqi claim to be the first power in ancient times, but now it has become like this?
The hearts of the officials are clear, they naturally know what kind of urine the current emperor of Daqi is, he has been in power for decades, of which more than 30 years have not been in the early dynasty, at the beginning of the favor of Concubine Yan, ruined the dragon body, almost died, and later recuperated, but in the near year of Ear Shun, he met the glamorous, disaster of the country and the people of the Ming Concubine, and from then on the king did not go to the early dynasty, the harem of three thousand beauties, the only favor of this set of thousands of graceful concubines in the world, to its hundred obedience, its lazy government and depravity caused the slackness of hundreds of officials, the corruption of officials, the powerful Daqi began to rapidly go downhill。
If such an emperor is virtuous, he will really laugh off his big teeth!
But this kind of thing can only be thought about in the heart, and it must not be taken out to say, otherwise his head will not be guaranteed, and even his family will be in danger.
Although the crown prince has a strong literary spirit and is an idealist, after all, he has been crawling and rolling in the palace for many years, and this ability to talk nonsense with his eyes open has long been practiced, and it seems that everyone else believes it except for his own unbelief.
After the prince's superficial efforts were done, he turned his head and glared at Taishou Li Tian, who had already collapsed on the ground and was wet all over his body, he gritted his teeth, endured his anger, and said, "Someone!"
The general next to him immediately stepped forward very dogleggedly: "The last general!"
The prince stared at Li Taishou, gritted his teeth and said, "Leave him alone!"
General Zeng glanced at Li Taishou covertly, secretly sympathetic, he arched his hand, and said, "Obey!"
Li Taishou was so frightened that he trembled like chaff, he screamed like a pig, turned his head and shouted at the thief-eyed master who was desperately making a bad move: "Ji Chen save me, Ji Chen save me!"
This is Ji Chen's master rolled his eyes, suddenly stepped forward, and said loudly: "Slow!!"
Although the appearance of the prince is not as beautiful as Zhao Xiaobao's, nor is he as heroic as Li Chengfeng, but his face is dignified and his facial features are upright, which makes people respect him at a glance, whether it is Zhao Feiyue, the little sister who is known as the first beauty in the world, or the four princes who turn against each other, they are all beautiful and groomed, even if the four princes have broken their appearance, they are all beautiful men.
Coupled with the unique aesthetic culture of officialdom, with a person like him, how could he look down on the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked thief-eyed master in front of him?
The prince squinted at his master, as if he felt that it was a humiliation to look at this person with his eyes, he held back his anger and disgust, and sneered: "Who are you!?"
Ji Chen shook his robe, bowed respectfully, and said, "The thirteen students on the first list of the twenty-first year of the Apocalypse have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"
The prince was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ji Chen in astonishment, he didn't expect that the extremely obscene and ugly man in front of him was actually the thirteenth Jinshi on the first list!
He was puzzled and asked in astonishment, "Are you the thirteenth on the first list?"
Ji Chen nodded and said, "It's like a fake!"
The prince wondered: "Then why are you willing to fall and become a master?"
The assessment and selection of the cultivation world has now been extended to once every ten years, which can be described as one in a million, and similarly, the imperial examination is also once every three years, which can be regarded as a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops.
Those who thought they would not be chosen to become monks would study in silence in order to get ahead.
The territory of Daqi is extremely vast, and the cultural and educational elegance is all over the world, and there are only three ways to promote in the world, one is to become a first-class monk who jumps out of the cycle of reincarnation and is not in the five elements, the second is to become a second-class scribe who is only high-level in all kinds of inferior grades, and the third is to take fame straight to the sword and become a third-class warrior.
Every time the national imperial examination is held, there are no less than one million people rushing to take the exam, from the children's examination to the township examination, from the township examination to the general examination, from the general examination to the palace examination, and it is not only the six generals who have passed the five levels along the way, but millions of competitors!
The thirteenth place on the first list seems to be only ranked thirteenth, and the person who may have reached this rank shows that he has beaten millions of students in the scientific examination in the same year, and can be called the best among the best students in the world.
Such a person will be released to shepherd one side in the future, why is he only the most unpopular master?
Ji Chen's face darkened, and he said: "Just because the student is ugly, he is not suitable for an official ......."
The prince suddenly felt a little suddenly, after these Jinshi high schools, ninety percent of them will not be released immediately to be officials, but more in the Hanlin Academy or Guozi but as a Hanlin or assistant teacher, if you are lucky, you can enter the imperial history platform to become an iron shoulder morality, and write the imperial history of the Spring and Autumn Period, but more are idle there, waiting for vacancies, either waste their lives, or bury themselves in study.
Ji Chen was a teaching assistant in Guozi School, and he felt that he had a talent that had gone through the heavens and the earth, but he could only spend his life in this square inch, and he naturally complained constantly.
But others are also struggling here, and some have even survived for more than ten years without getting a chance, so naturally they don't like this ugly guy who complains all day long.
They criticized Ji Chen in private, and this kind of comment reached the ears of the chief officer, who had already seen him with an ugly face and kicked him out with an excuse.
Being kicked out of Guozixue is equivalent to being expelled from school, and Ji Chen's reputation will stink as soon as he is gone, and he will cut off the way to be an official, he can't pick up his shoulders, and he can't lift his hands, so he can only deign to be a master for others.
The prince glanced at Ji Chen, although he was quite sympathetic, but looking at this face, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he forcibly held back his displeasure and said, "What's the matter with you?"
Ji Chen calmed down, he glanced at Li Tian quickly, he knew that now was the most important moment in his life, whether it was to join the crown prince or the fourth prince in the future, it all depended on his next performance.
Ji Chen said: "Your Highness should not punish the crime too much at the moment!"
The people around them gasped, and their eyes changed when they looked at Ji Chen.
I didn't see it! This thief-eyed guy is so bold as to dare to speak to the prince like this?
The prince was furious, but he was extremely well cultivated, his heart was full of anger, but his face was faint, and he said, "Lone doesn't need you to advise!"
Ji Chen lowered his head, trying his best to make the prince unable to see his face, and he said, "Your Highness, at this very moment, it is not appropriate to move anyone!"
The prince endured his anger and asked lightly, "Oh, what do you think?"
Ji Chen glanced around, didn't speak, the prince immediately understood, he said, "You come with Gu!"
The prince took Ji Chen to the Taishou Mansion, since he was here, he naturally temporarily requisitioned the Taishou's mansion, and the Zeng staff general followed the Taishou all the way, carefully protecting the prince, and the other officials began to arrange and evacuate the victims and the people in the city for disaster relief.
It wasn't until he entered the back room that the prince retreated around and said, "What do you want to say?"
Ji Chen said in a deep voice: "The prince knows that he guards Li Tian too much...... It is the prince's man! The prince's punishment is too guarded at present, which is tantamount to giving people a handle and tantamount to destroying himself from the world!"
The crown prince Rao is city government is deep, and he was also shocked: "What? This guy is a lonely person? Why doesn't Gu know?"
Ji Chen said in a deep voice: "Taishou Li Tian is to make up for the shortage, and the official who spent money to buy it was bought from the prince's subordinate officials, Zuo Shilang, and the prince will know this matter as soon as he checks it!"
The prince was stunned for a moment, and he sat down on the chair behind him, with indescribable grief and sorrow in his expression.
Daqi is already rotten to this point!
Even his subordinates, who he regarded as the important ministers of the humerus, were selling their official beards!
In the long run, the country will not be a country!
When the prince was grieving and sad here, on the other side, Su Yuehan followed the flow of people with a small bamboo and entered Taiyang City in an orderly manner, and behind her, about a hundred meters of people, Li Chengfeng and Zhao Feiyue, who were dressed in disguise, also followed into the city.
None of them knew what kind of turmoil was about to sweep in.
