As soon as Zhao Kangcheng saw the man, his pupils shrank sharply, and a cold gaze instantly burst out in his cold eyes. He looked at the man, took a step forward, and arched his hand: "This is Lord Chen Haochen, right?" ”

Chen Hao heard Zhao Kangcheng's voice, and couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, he turned around and faced Zhao Kangcheng, a drop of cold sweat secretly flowed from his sideburns, and he said, "It's down." ”

The corners of Zhao Kangcheng's lips hooked, his smile was slightly cold, and he said, "Nine years ago, I was fortunate enough to read the article written by Lord Chen at that time......

Chen Hao felt a sigh in his heart, and even the Taifu who was standing at the front of the hundred officials tensed up, staring at Zhao Kangcheng tightly.

Zhao Kangcheng paused, pursed his lips, and suddenly, he lowered his eyes, bowed slightly to Chen Hao, and said, "...... I have benefited a lot, so I have always wanted to meet Lord Chen in person, and now I have my wish, which is very fortunate. ”

Chen Hao and Taifu were slightly stunned, they thought that Zhao Kangcheng would directly say that Chen Hao's article was written by him in front of the emperor, so his heart kept in his throat, and he thought of various ways to deal with it in his mind, but he didn't expect that Zhao Kangcheng didn't want to debunk Chen Hao at all, and the two sentences just now were simply admitting in disguise that the article was written by Chen Hao himself!

Chen Hao and Taifu didn't understand what Zhao Kangcheng was thinking.

Chen Hao gathered his thoughts, and said to Zhao Kangcheng with a modest look: "The champion is polite. ”

The moment he saw Chen Hao, he did think about demolishing Chen Hao on the spot, and even opened his mouth, but in the next moment, Cai Xiaoxiao's figure appeared in his mind, and he swallowed the rest of the words in an instant.

He can't say that nine years have passed, even if he said it in the court, but he has no evidence, no one will believe his words, after all, the dossier written by Zhao Kangcheng at that time was shown in front of the people of the whole country! His only advantage was gone.

Under such circumstances, if he said it, it would not only displease the emperor, thinking that he was a man of false words, but also likely to arouse the jealousy of Taifu and others again.

Zhao Kangcheng thought of the embarrassed appearance of Zhao Wang's family when he sold his property nine years ago and came all the way to the capital to rescue him when he was trapped in prison, and thought that when he went home and saw the empty house, he decided in his heart at that time that he would never let his family around him be hurt a little because of the arrogance in his heart!

Because of Cai Xiaoxiao, at that moment he felt that it was meaningless to debunk the truth nine years ago, and now that he had succeeded in the title of the gold list, instead of holding on to the grievances of nine years ago, it was better to live peacefully with the people around him than to hold on to the grievances of nine years ago, so that he and the people around him might be in danger again.

As for Chen Hao, all he could do was to take his own file to get the title of champion back then, but in the later officialdom, he could only rely on himself, and maybe Taifu, he could no longer get a little help from Zhao Kangcheng!

In fact, Zhao Kangcheng was right, when the emperor saw Chen Hao's file, he was very happy, just like he saw Zhao Kangcheng this year, so he had great expectations for Chen Hao, even if Chen Hao was the nephew of the prince and a member of the prince's faction.

Not only the emperor, but when the prince and King Jiang saw the dossier of Zhao Kangcheng stolen by Chen Hao, they also thought that Chen Hao was a rare talent, so the prince was very happy for a while, and even praised Taifu several times for being worthy of being his teacher and teaching such a talented nephew, and King Jiang once regarded Chen Hao as a key person and sent people to keep an eye on him.

However, as it turned out, all three of them were overthinking.

I don't know if that imperial examination was Chen Hao's extraordinary performance, in short, after Chen Hao became an official in the court, he did not make a few beautiful events that made people's eyes shine, and even his literary style was never outstanding.

Therefore, many people also doubted whether the volume written by Chen Hao was written by him, but because of the guarantee of the Taifu, and Chen Hao did clearly state the content of the volume and explain the meaning of it at that time, this dispelled everyone's doubts.

But they didn't expect that Taifu would shield his nephew, help his nephew cheat, and explain the meaning of the article in advance and then inform Chen Hao, after all, with Taifu's knowledge and experience, it was very easy to detoxify an article written by a teenager at the time, and it was because of this that Chen Hao eliminated everyone's suspicions.

But after that, Taifu was powerless, seeing that Chen Hao's performance was becoming more and more mediocre, the emperor and the prince gradually withdrew their expectations of him, and Jiang Wang even laughed at himself for having a day of looking away, and then withdrew his gaze from staring at Chen Hao.

Thinking of this, the three emperors looked at Zhao Kangcheng with inexplicable meaning, and they were all thinking: I wonder if this Zhao Kangcheng will be the same as Chen Hao back then, just a momentary smart talent.

If that's the case, then I really don't know what the meaning of the imperial examination is.

The three of them smiled softly in their hearts.

After that, the emperor asked Zhao Kangcheng and the three of them in turn about the questions on the volume or the literary style, and the three of them answered the emperor's questions in an orderly and natural manner, which made the emperor very satisfied and nodded incessantly.

After the questioning, it was time to arrange official positions for the three of them.

According to the past tradition, the champion was to be arranged to enter the Hanlin Academy, and this time Zhao Kangcheng was no exception, he was named a six-rank official and entered the Hanlin Academy to assist the ministers of the Hanlin Academy, which means that he is equivalent to an intern.

Not only that, but the emperor also rewarded Zhao Kangcheng with some gold and silver treasures, silk brocade and a mansion.

It seems that the emperor heard that Zhao Kangcheng is currently renting a mansion in the capital, so he rewarded him with a new house, but it can also be seen that the emperor is very satisfied with Zhao Kangcheng.

As for Sun Yuxuan and Tanhua Wu Yihan, they were originally assigned to their respective hometowns to be county officials according to the rules, but they were told that both of them already had a county official in their hometowns.

The emperor thought about it, although Sun Yuxuan and Wu Yihan's literary talents were not as good as Zhao Kangcheng, they were also extraordinary, and they were rare talents, so he decided to assign the two to the Hanlin Academy, together with Zhao Kangcheng, but the position was one level lower than Zhao Kangcheng.

Sun Yuxuan and Wu Yihan listened, first surprised, then surprised, they never expected things to develop like this! Entering the Hanlin Academy, it means that they have much more opportunities for promotion in the future than being a small county official! Even after middle age, there may be a possibility of sealing!

Thinking of this, the two hurriedly knelt on the ground and said happily: "Weichen thanks!" Long live the Five Emperors, long live, long live! ”
