Before I could return to the house, a group of eunuchs had already walked outside the palace gate, and the first Chang Gonggong was holding a paper scroll tied with a yellow silk ribbon in his hand.

Chang Gonggong and his entourage walked into the Mingxia Palace, handed the paper scroll to the prince by hand, and passed down the emperor's dictation: please ask the prince to write a policy according to the question on the test paper, and hand over the answer sheet to Lingyuntai before tonight for the emperor to read.

Oh my God, is this what the emperor said about the test?

The prince couldn't even read the sentences clearly, how could he write any strategy. The emperor actually took advantage of the banquet to test him, did he not count how many drops of ink his own son had in his stomach?

Or is my estimate wrong, the emperor actually wants to abolish this crown prince? So deliberately make a fool of him in public, so that he can be justified in abolishing him?

No matter how much it is, how to get through this difficult time is the top priority.

After sending off Grandpa Chang, I immediately called Manager Zhang to discuss.

Manager Zhang was also a little frightened, isn't this obviously making things difficult for the prince? The prince's bottom is fine, who doesn't know the people in the East Palace, if the prince can write a strategy, the sow will climb the tree.

The prince can't write, and no one in the East Palace has the ability to write on his behalf. The only one who has a slight possibility is Zuo Ying, but I thought about it and forgot it. Zuo Ying is a little talented, but after all, she is a woman, and it is estimated that she can write rhetoric, and she has not heard of any woman who can write it.

The emperor did a really good job this time, and even invited all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the prince's mansion to Lingyuntai in advance, in order to block all cheating channels, so that even if the prince wanted to find someone to catch the knife, there would be no one to find.

Seeing the passage of time little by little, the entire East Palace was immersed in a tense atmosphere.

When people are at their most helpless, they often hope for a miracle. Perhaps, the sow will occasionally climb a tree.

I untied the yellow ribbon and took the test paper to the prince, only to see that it was written: The Theory of Breaking the Country in Eastern Wu.

Well, this topic is not awkward, and the meaning of the topic is clear at a glance. It seems that the emperor is obsessed with his great exploits in destroying the Eastern Wu and unifying the whole country, and he always has to take it out from time to time to talk about it to feel comfortable.

As soon as the prince saw the title, his brows furrowed, and he said impatiently: "What is there to talk about when the country is broken in Eastern Wu!" ”

Yes? How is the 'Soochow Theory of Breaking the Country' interpreted? I had to be patient and said, "Your Highness, the meaning of this topic is to ask Your Highness to tell me the reasons for the destruction of the country in Eastern Wu. ”

"The reason is very simple, if you can't beat us, we will break it."

"Then why can't they beat us?"

"They're useless." He gave me a very strange look, and the meaning in his eyes was: Why do you ask me such a simple truth?

Manager Zhang and I glanced at each other and shook our heads helplessly.

The moment I saw Mr. Zhang, I suddenly thought of someone: Zhang Hua.

Since my father will hire him as the Sikong Peng of the Taiwei Mansion, it means that this person must be very level, and the Sikong Peng of the Taiwei Mansion is not something that just anyone can do. If the father just wanted to win over Manager Zhang, he could have arranged this Zhang Hua in another position. A person who has been sentenced to 'be sentenced to a 'decisive decision', just saving his life is enough to make him grateful, and then arranging a position for him in the Taiwei Mansion, no matter what position it is, it is a rebirth for him, why do you have to put him in such an important position?

Sikong Peng, among the staff of the Taiwei Mansion, although the rank is not the highest, he is the closest confidant to the Taiwei. Such a person must not only be talented, but also improvised, and above all, absolutely loyal and able to keep secrets. Because, many of the private letters of the lieutenant were handled by Sikong Peng.

Thinking of this, I said to Manager Zhang: "You quickly bring a set of father-in-law's clothes and take the car to the Taiwei Mansion to pick up your nephew Zhang Hua." He gave him another look at the question on the test paper and said, "The topic is 'The Theory of Breaking the Country in Eastern Wu', you let him think about it well along the way, but I'm afraid that he will have to start writing immediately when he gets here." There are only two hours in total, and it will take you an hour on the way back and forth, so be sure to hurry! You tell him that if he helps me get this done, I will never do him any wrong. ”

Manager Zhang agreed and hurriedly ran out.

In less than an hour, Manager Zhang walked in with Zhang Hua, who was dressed as a eunuch. Seeing me and the prince, Zhang Hua wanted to kneel down and salute, but I stopped him and said, "These are all exempt, hurry up and answer the questionnaire." ”

I didn't expect that this person I grabbed in a hurry was actually very good, and I saw him write as soon as he picked up the pen, and obviously had already made a draft on the way here. In less than half an hour, three large sheets of paper had already been written.

He wrote one and I read one piece, which was really broad and thorough, and made me amazed while reading it.

Although I don't know how to write, I can still read it, and Zhang Hua's strategy is indeed very well written.

When it was written, I quickly called the prince and asked him to copy it. You can ask someone to catch a knife, but the handwriting must be the prince's, otherwise wouldn't it be a goof?

The prince picked up the pen and was about to copy it, and the little eunuch standing aside to grind the ink, Zhang Hong, the righteous son of Mr. Zhang, said with a smile: "Brother Hua's article is well written, but it is too literary, not like it was written by His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

My heart moved, and I immediately shouted "Stop!" ”。 Indeed, with the prince's usual life as a learner, he would never be able to write such a mature and rigorous article.

I immediately asked Zhang Hong, "Then how do you think it should be written?" After asking, I sighed and said, "Even if I want to rewrite it now, it's too late." ”

Zhang Hong said: "There is no need to rewrite, Brother Hua's article is very good." As long as the tone of the writing is changed slightly, it is a little more childish, colloquial, like the style of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

I was overjoyed and said, "You're so right, it's up to you." Then please change it quickly. ”

Zhang Hong picked up the pen and made some changes on the basis of Zhang Hua's article, mainly to make it as popular and colloquial as possible, so that it looked like a talented child who didn't work very hard.

Changed it, quickly asked the prince to copy a copy, and then asked people to send it to Lingyuntai quickly. When it arrived, the drum had just hit the hour.

The emperor opened the book in public, read it, and was happy. It is said that Wei Qian was "embarrassed" after reading it, and then circulated the answer sheet among the courtiers.

The emperor took the opportunity to say to everyone: "What is the prince's qualifications, I believe that the princes have already made a public opinion, and I also hope that through this test, I can completely dispel the doubts of your families." Now, the doubts have disappeared, if anyone dares to spread rumors and make trouble, I will not spare it! ”
