Chapter 86
This year's champion is still not Zhao Jingcheng.
The emperor felt that his article was too aggressive and radical, and he was not very optimistic.
On the contrary, it is the article that should be followed by Confucianism, advancing and retreating appropriately, and clearly stating when to attack and what stage to defend, rather than like Zhao Jingcheng, who marched all the way.
The emperor never advocates power to suppress, otherwise how powerful you are when you suppress, how powerful you will be when you rebound, or even worse.
Therefore, the emperor appointed Ying Xingru as the champion.
Although Zhao Jingcheng's article strategy is too radical, some of the points he mentioned also have merit, and in general, they are much better than those specious articles, and they are finally hand-picked as Tanhua.
In addition to some of the usual rewards of gold, silver and jewelry, the champion can also ask the emperor for an additional favor.
Ying Xingru asked the emperor for a marriage letter.
The emperor was very curious: "Marriage has been the order of parents since ancient times, the words of the matchmaker, Aiqing is now asking for me, could it be that the Taifu does not agree?" ”
Ying Xingru: "Back to Your Majesty, my grandfather has long wanted to set it for me, but the student hopes that when the student is in high school, he can ask His Majesty to marry the student, and then it is not too late to marry." ”
It is an honor to be married by heaven.
The emperor laughed: "Your temperament is the same as your grandfather, okay, then I will agree to your request, tell me, which girl it is." ”
"The person that the students like is Miss Meng Qingmeng from the Meng University Scholar's Mansion."
The emperor gave the marriage decree on the spot and handed it to Ying Xingru.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ying Xingru took the holy decree and couldn't help but show the corners of his lips.
Soon, he will be able to fulfill his promise to Meng Qing......
The emperor patted Ying Xingru on the shoulder and prepared to leave.
After the temple test, these people still have to go to the streets.
"Your Majesty, please stay."
The Emperor turned back and looked at the person who had spoken.
"What?"
Zhao Jingcheng knelt on the ground: "The students have something to ask for, please fulfill it." ”
"Why, not satisfied with my reward?"
Zhao Jingcheng was stunned.
I don't know if it's his delusion, but he always feels that when the emperor occasionally looks at him, there is a deep meaning that makes people tremble.
But when he wanted to feel it carefully, the emperor looked at him no different from anyone else.
As if everything was his delusion......
Zhao Jingcheng took away the thoughts in his heart, took a deep breath, prostrate on the ground, and said word by word:
"Your Majesty's reward is valuable, and the students are grateful, but the students have one in their hearts, and it is more valuable to the students, so the students have the courage to hope that Your Majesty will be fulfilled."
The emperor turned the wrench on his thumb: "What you want, tell me and listen." ”
"The student is happy with Princess Pingle, if His Majesty fulfills it, it will be cherished."
The movement in the hands of the emperor paused.
"I didn't expect this class of students to have a lot of infatuation."
Zhao Jingcheng couldn't guess whether the emperor meant something else in his words, so he didn't dare to answer.
"I gave Ying Zhuangyuan and Miss Meng a marriage because the two of them originally had the intention of getting married, the two of them had an appointment first, and the two were happy with each other later, so you come and tell me that the peace and happiness between you and me can meet the above two points?"
"The student knows that he is reckless, but the student sincerely wants to marry Princess Pingle and hope that His Majesty will fulfill it."
"My Pingle deserves the best man in the world, do you think, are you worthy?"
……
Zhao Jingcheng lost his honor in front of the palace and was deprived of the body of Tanhua, and the emperor ordered another Jinshi as Tanhua.
Zhao Jingcheng was also demoted from the body of Tanhua to the same Jinshi.
The emperor commented that he was "reckless and impulsive, his body is not right, and he is embarrassed to take on a great responsibility".
Knowing the news, King Ping dropped a set of tea sets.
"Is he a pig's brain! He is not even a champion, and he dares to make conditions with his father! ”
If it is a champion, it means that the emperor is optimistic about Zhao Jingcheng, so that Zhao Jingcheng proposes it, even if the emperor does not agree, he will not embarrass Zhao Jingcheng.
Now don't say it's a champion, I heard that my father was not satisfied with the answer sheet of Zhao Jingcheng's palace exam at all, and he dared to marry Pingle in this case, didn't he tell his father that he Zhao Jingcheng was tending to be inflammatory?
The person next to him reminded: "Lord Wang, do you think this Zhao Shizi will be deliberate?" ”
King Ping's eyes narrowed.
He thought it was not impossible.
Zhao Jingcheng was not willing to rely on getting close to Pingle to gain the trust of his father and the crown prince from the beginning, and now he has no choice but to get close to Pingle.
Now he has angered his father in the Jinluan Palace, although he does not have the body of Tanhua and cannot enter the Hanlin Academy, but if Zhao Jingcheng is willing to give up everything in the capital, he can also go to other places to be a county magistrate or something......
No...... It is impossible for Zhao Jingcheng to be willing to let go of everything in the capital, go out to make a county order, and rise step by step, otherwise he will not recommend himself to himself.
The father emperor had clearly told Zhao Jingcheng that it was impossible for him to be peaceful and happy.
Zhao Jingcheng wanted to use this to tell him that it was impossible to break into the prince's interior by approaching Pingle?
Or is it for the woman named Xu Minran?
King Ping sneered.
No matter what, Zhao Jingcheng ruined his plan, and he wouldn't just forget it.
Since he cares so much about Xu Minran's woman......
King Ping's mind changed and he had other plans.
This time, he didn't believe that Zhao Jingcheng dared to be obedient!
……
Ke Xi heard what happened in the Jinluan Palace, and felt that he was disgusted by Zhao Jingcheng again.
At the same time, I think that Zhao Jingcheng shouldn't be such a reckless person?
What good is it for him to anger his father?
Ke Xi couldn't figure it out.
If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, anyway, Zhao Jingcheng angered his father, I don't know what good it is for him, but the benefits for her are obvious.
Ke Xi felt that Zhao Jingcheng would not appear in front of her again in the future.
The emperor almost pointed to his nose and said that he wanted to eat swan meat, if Zhao Jingcheng dared to appear in front of her in this case......
Simple-minded people may think that Zhao Jingcheng is very affectionate and righteous to her, and those courtiers may think that Zhao Jingcheng is extremely shameless in order to climb the flames!
Zhao Jingcheng is going to mix in the court, if all the officials feel that this person is a villain, and he makes some stumbling blocks, it is enough for Zhao Jingcheng to drink a pot......
Thinking about this, Ke Xi felt that his mood was brightened, and he felt very wonderful to see everything.
Lying on the recliner, swaying and shaking, the spring sun shone on his body, warm and comfortable, so comfortable that Ke Xi wanted to sleep.
Just when Ke Xi was about to fall asleep, Linlang's voice came from a distance.
"Princess, princess!"
Ke Xi opened his eyes in a daze.
Linlang found out that Ke Xi seemed to have been woken up by her, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry princess, the slave didn't know you were sleeping." ”
"It's fine." Ke Xi stretched, and then looked at Linlang: "What are you looking for me?" ”
Linlang patted her head, remembered her business, and hurriedly took out something and handed it to Ke Xi.
"This is an invitation sent by the Korean government, next month is the 80th birthday of the old Korean lady, and the Korean government has prepared a birthday banquet for the old Korean lady and invites you to participate."
Ke Xi opened the invitation, glanced at it, and closed it again.
"You go to my mother's place and ask her what she thinks."
