Han Yu looked at Zhong Kui in front of him, with a confused expression, what's the matter, the image on the roster is not like this? He even directly omitted the oral examination, because he firmly believed that Zhong Kui was worthy of the champion.

Of course, the emperor also agreed, this is the trust of Han Yu, and the emperor also plans to summon Zhong Kui to see this talented man who was so recommended by Han Yu, and by the way, he also had a question and answer with the monarchs and ministers, which is a project that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty likes very much, and it will be recorded by the historians, and it will also become a beautiful conversation in the future.

Han Yu did this, but also to prevent Lu Qi from interfering in the emperor's decision, if three or five people were selected to go to the emperor and let the emperor personally order the champion, do you say let Lu Qi's nephew go? If he goes, with Lu Qi's help, Zhong Kui may really be able to become a role model.

This time, Han Yu called Zhong Kui over, originally wanting to explain to Zhong Kui about meeting the emperor next, such as the questions that the emperor might ask, and etiquette or something.

But he didn't expect Zhong Kui to look like this, this is definitely not the champion in his mind!

"Zhong Kui, why didn't you shave!"

Zhong Kui was a little embarrassed: "Adult, it's not that students don't shave, but that this beard will grow after hanging up." Moreover, the students' eyes, mouth, nose, ears and so on were not like this before, because the students had a strange disease, and they couldn't cure it after looking for a famous doctor. ”

"If the adults don't believe it, the students will shave off their beards in front of the adults, and within a cup of tea, they will grow back like this. However, adults choose students to be champions because they fancy the talents of the students, not the appearance of the students, right? ”

Han Yu asked someone to bring a razor, Zhong Kui shaved off his beard in front of him, he had never heard of this strange disease, and he didn't believe it in his heart. But after a cup of tea, Zhong Kui really regrew a full beard!

Han Yu was dumbfounded, he didn't know what was going on, and called a few doctors, all of whom said that Zhong Kui was not sick. If it's not a disease, it's an evil spirit, but Zhong Kui has been to the temple and the temple, what else can he do?

And Zhong Kui shaved his beard, but he was actually very ugly, so he could only choose to accept it. It's just that Han Yu has a bad premonition in his heart.

……

While waiting at the gate of the Golden Palace, Zhong Kui received many strange looks, and the guards standing guard at the gate of the Golden Palace kept glancing at him.

Zhong Kui looks at his nose and nose, his nose looks at his heart, he wants to be calm, he is already the champion. He is about to enter the career and show his ambitions!

The emperor also read Zhong Kui's answer sheet and was very satisfied with Zhong Kui himself, but when he saw it for the first time, he almost fell off the dragon chair!

Who is this ugly bastard? Zhong Kui? This is our new champion of Datang?

Although he never said that the champion should be as handsome and chic, he can't be ugly like this, right? At the very least, you should be able to see it.

When Zhong Kui saw the emperor's expression, he chuckled in his heart, could it be that the emperor would really dislike him because of his appearance? But it doesn't matter, he will use his talents to let the emperor know that he became the champion because he has real talent and learning, and he can definitely help Datang become stronger!

However, there were still many voices in the main hall that came to Zhong Kui's ears, and all the voices were telling one thing, that is, they had never seen such an ugly person!

"How can a person with such an ugly appearance become the new champion of my dynasty? How did you check this exam! The Emperor was displeased.

The champion chosen by the emperor before, although not all of them are handsome and extraordinary, but they are not so ugly, why did you choose an ugly man when you came to me?

At this time, in the corner of the main hall, there was a person standing there, but no one noticed it, and that was Qiu Ming. Qiu Ming followed to see if anything unexpected happened when he was in the main hall, did Zhong Kui really want to die?

However, seeing that Zhong Kui was really rejected by the emperor, Qiu Ming also felt sad for Zhong Kui. Once Zhong Kui becomes the champion, with his talent, it will not be difficult to become the prime minister in the future.

At that time, by governing the world, he would definitely be able to gain a lot of merits, and if he mentioned Tiankui Xingjun a little in the future, he would definitely get a lot of incense.

But if you die, it's all empty talk!

Hearing the emperor's words, Han Yu immediately came out and knelt down: "The emperor should have heard that Yan Ying is three feet tall, but he has become the prime minister of Qi State, Zhou Chang is stuttering, and he can also assist the Han family, Ziyu is very ugly, but he can be praised by Confucius many times, the advantages and disadvantages of people are not in appearance, but in talent, look at the emperor and think twice." ”

The emperor thought for a while: "What Han Aiqing said makes sense, but during the period of Emperor Taizong of my dynasty, the eighteen bachelors were all handsome, if I chose him as the champion, wouldn't I be ridiculed by the world, saying that I don't know talents?" ”

Eighteen handsome guys can be found by others, but I can't find any of them? That's a lot more than a one-eyed, stuttering eye.

Originally, Zhong Kui became the champion, but Lu Qi had given up the intention of making his nephew the champion, but seeing Zhong Kui's ugly appearance, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also talking about it, and the emperor was also dissatisfied with it, he felt that his nephew's opportunity had come!

"Your Majesty, listen to the old minister. The champion of Jinke needs to be cultivated both inside and outside, and the champion is to walk around Chang'an Avenue, so that the people can see such a person become the champion, isn't it a loss of the majesty of our dynasty? There are more than 300 candidates in this subject, and there are also 30 Jinshi, so can't you choose another champion? ”

At Lu Qi's signal, many ministers also knelt on the ground: "We also think that another champion should be chosen." ”

Han Yu is just a servant of the ministry, how can he compare to the authority of Lu Qi, the prime minister? And Han Yu also knew that even if Zhong Kui was blind in one eye, he was much better looking than he was now.

In fact, when he saw Zhong Kui for the first time, Han Yu also felt a little unacceptable. Although people should not be judged by their appearance, how many can really do it?

How can such a person be released as a parental official? How to reflect the majesty of the imperial court when you go to the place? Others will think that the officials of the court look like evil ghosts, and will the people still be willing to believe in the court?

"Han Aiqing, you can also see what everyone means, I am not the only one who thinks so. This time the list of Jinshi, you go back and think about it again, choose a new champion, or simply let the list be filled and let Zhong Kui be the fourth. ”

The emperor didn't even want to give Zhong Kui the top three, which made Zhong Kui's loss even heavier. He studied hard in the cold window, and finally won the top prize in high school, and the list has been posted.

He wrote a letter asking someone to send him back to his hometown, so that his sister knew in advance, and now he suddenly said that he would revoke his title because of his appearance, how could he be convinced?

He didn't want to be like this, but his talent is not fake, why can't he be the champion?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and Zhong Kui, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up without permission......
