Chapter 50: Clever Questions
"The queen mother can rest assured, the sons will not marry far away from other countries, and the sons will be the emperor of the Yun country, and if they want to marry, he will marry." Wu Jinghong glanced out and smiled slightly.
"Shocking, you, how can you be sure that he won't harm you? What if this is Emperor Shuo's conspiracy? What's more, he had single-handedly caused the Eighteen Emperors Rebellion......"
"The queen mother, the minister still has to discuss this matter with his father, but the queen mother must believe in the son, and Jiuzun has no intention of harming the son. The Eighteen Emperors Rebellion, said that it was caused by him alone, and the sons didn't believe it, if it was Emperor Shuo's conspiracy, it was possible, he was just pulled out by Emperor Shuo to make a shield for arrows. Wu Jinghong said very lightly, but very firmly, "Erchen believes in him, the queen mother doesn't need to worry too much, even if Erchen guards against him and drives him, he will not leave obediently." The queen mother, there is no doubt about employing people, in fact, he has already been used by his sons, and he has helped a lot in Nangong Chen's affairs. ”
“…… It's better for you to go to your father, Jinghong, you go to the imperial study to find your father now, and King Shura will stay here with the queen mother. The queen's expression relaxed slightly, but she has always been the emperor, and the matter will be finalized in the end, depending on the emperor's intentions.
Wu Jinghong nodded, "Don't worry, the queen mother, the son will explain a few words to him, and then go to the father." ”
Jiuzun stood there with his arms crossed, his eyes rolling around, only to feel that it was not right to look anywhere, as if there were eyes looking at him everywhere. He took two steps forward, thought for a moment, and then stepped back, standing motionless where he had been.
"Jiuzun, this palace still has to talk to my father, you accompany your mother here first, and this palace will come back soon."
"Huh?" Jiuzun blinked, pointed at himself, and clenched his fist again, looking confident, "Hmph, you go and do your own business, of course there is no problem with this king." ”
Wu Jinghong chuckled and nodded, and then nodded Qingmang to stay, leaving with only Lumang and Chimang.
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness Shura and the Queen Mother will not have a problem with each other, right?" As soon as he walked out of Zhaohua Palace, Lu Mang couldn't help but ask.
"What do you think His Highness did when he left Qingmang there?" Chimang glanced at Lu Mang, "Don't worry about things that shouldn't be in your hands, you didn't learn the rules well back then, but now this is in the palace, Jumang disciplines those palace maids and eunuchs all day long and doesn't care about you, right?" ”
Lu Mang shrunk his neck, and immediately followed behind Wu Jinghong with his hands, not daring to raise his eyes for a long time.
Wu Jinghong glanced back, and said with a smile, "Chimang, you have really worked hard all these years, and the temperament of Lumang in Qimang is more active, right?" ”
"It is an honor for subordinates to work for His Highness, and it is not hard." Chimang bowed his head and said, "The Qimang brothers and sisters all know the rules, and Lumang is only the youngest, thanks to His Highness's generosity and ignorance of her willfulness." ”
"There is a green mang by the side of the palace, and the palace can often relax, the palace knows that it will not be easy after returning to the palace this time, you don't have to refuse, fortunately there are you." Wu Jinghong smiled sincerely, and his voice was gentle, "If you need anything, just mention it, there will be more times when you will be needed in the future!" ”
"Your Highness's words are serious, as long as Your Highness commands, your subordinates will not give up!"
"Yes, Your Highness, as long as Your Highness needs it, Lu Mang is willing to do anything!" Lu Mang listened to Wu Jinghong's words, instantly forgot Chimang's warning, and leaned over to Wu Jinghong with a shy face, "Your Highness, do you need Lu Mang to share your worries for you?" Are you worried that the emperor and the queen mother will not let His Royal Highness Shura stay? ”
"Green Mang!" Chimang broke off with a sigh, full of helplessness, "You step back, don't talk too much if you shouldn't ask, Your Highness has his own decision!" ”
"I'm afraid this matter is not so easy, the father and the queen mother have their own thoughts, this palace will go and ask the father and the emperor first!"
As he spoke, he saw the imperial study in front of him, and before he got closer, he saw Ning Pu kneeling outside the imperial study.
"Lord Ning?" Wu Jinghong walked up to him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Your Highness the Princess." Ning Pu saluted Wu Jinghong in a kneeling position, "Weichen, Weichen presented the test questions of the literary examination to His Majesty, and His Majesty felt that it was inappropriate, so he punished Weichen for kneeling for an hour. ”
This attitude is very sincere, but Wu Jinghong didn't believe that his father, who strictly followed the will of the emperor, would punish Ning Pu because of the test questions. At the beginning, she just let Ning Pu stand for an hour, and her father reminded her afterwards.
She nodded to Ning Pu and walked into the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the princess has come down, you can dissipate your anger."
"Humph! Look at what kind of test questions this Ning Pu has come up with! Isn't it embarrassing for those students to take such test questions for the literary test? ”
Listening to this voice, it is really because of the anger caused by the essay test questions. Wu Jinghong raised her eyebrows again, she was curious, what kind of test questions could make her father so angry.
"Sons see their father, long live their father, long live their father." As soon as he entered the door, Wu Jinghong lay down first without waiting for the emperor to speak, and kowtowed respectfully.
"Shocking, get up quickly, come." The emperor hurriedly waved his hand, and Father-in-law Huai trotted over to help Wu Jinghong stand up.
"Father, did Lord Ning have any rebellious test questions?" Wu Jinghong got straight to the point and went straight to the point, "Didn't my father say that the emperor's grandfather had told Lord Chang Naning to give advice?" What is the reason for this move? ”
"You don't know, Jinghong, come and see!"
Wu Jinghong stepped forward as he said, took the test paper, and opened it to read.
The handwriting that catches the eye is very chic and atmospheric, but it is not quite in line with Ning Pu's honest attitude, the first few questions are quite conventional, there should be no problem, Wu Jinghong only roughly scanned, and the last two questions quickly came into view.
"What's the plan for the Great Plains?"
The Emperor snorted, "What a big thought! ”
Wu Jinghong chuckled, "Lord Ning, this is far-sighted. She continued to look back, and her voice was stiff, "Is the empress's ascendancy in line with the ancestral rites?" ”
"Smack!" The emperor slapped his palm on the case and said angrily, "This Ning Pu is really getting more and more presumptuous!" ”
Wu Jinghong put down the test questions, his eyes were dark, and after being silent for a long time, he said slowly, "Father, do you really think so?" ”
The emperor's breathing was also paused, and then turned into a sigh, waved his hand and said, "Father-in-law Huai, go and drag Ning Pu in." ”
Gonggong Huai observed the faces of the emperor and Wu Jinghong, and carefully retreated.
"Father, I'm afraid that these two test questions proposed by Ning Pu are not for the talented son of the winter test, but for the sons, right?"
“…… Just ask him! This stinky boy is getting bolder and bigger! The emperor sat down and rubbed his head after returning to the case, "I have a headache now, he doesn't help me share my worries this day, but he has a set of things to do!" ”
"Weichen Ning Pu see the emperor, see Her Royal Highness the princess."
Ning Pu was really dragged in, and one of the two little eunuchs was holding his arm, and he moved in half-kneeling and half-walking, and knelt as it was.
"Ning Pu, raise your head!" The emperor propped up on the desk with one hand, propped up his body, and pressed towards Ning Pu with an almost oppressive momentum, "What do you mean by this test question?" Why do you need to add these two questions? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the test questions are literal, and two more test questions are added to see the students' political thinking, so that Your Majesty can select available talents." Ning Pu only raised his head when the emperor ordered, and then buried it deeply, answering honestly.
"Fart!"
The emperor was excited, and accidentally waved out a piece of ink on the case, and the ink flew straight towards Ning Pu's head.
"Ouch!"
Ning Puzheng was lying comfortably on the ground and burying his head, when he was suddenly kicked away by Wu Jinghong, and the whole person turned over, so frightened that he screamed, and lay on his back on the ground for a long time and didn't dare to move.
In Ning Pu's exclamation, the ink also rolled to the ground with a gurgle, leaving a black trail on the ground.
"Lord Ning, I'm really sorry, I'm afraid that you will be injured." After Wu Jinghong kicked Ning Pu away, he hurriedly walked up to him, "Are you okay?" Did you get it? ”
Ning Pu was clever, hurriedly got up and continued to kneel and bury his head, and said continuously, "It's okay, it's okay, thank you for your Royal Highness the princess for coming to the rescue, Weichen is okay, it's okay." ”
"It's okay." Wu Jinghong straightened up, hooked the corners of his lips in a place that Ning Pu couldn't see, and winked at the emperor, "Father is also angry, Lord Ning, don't mind, this palace also read those two test questions just now, but I think Lord Ning is ingenious, this test question is good!" ”
"Humph!" The Emperor snorted cooperatively.
Ning Pu continued to lie on his stomach quietly, well, the floor of the imperial study is really clean, but this bluestone floor is not as comfortable as the blanket just now. Hey, in the end, Her Royal Highness the Princess, she doesn't want to suffer at all.
"Let's talk about the last question first, after all, this is a problem that this palace has to face, and this palace has to be clear first." Wu Jinghong leaned down and lowered his voice in Ning Pu's ear, "Lord Ning, did you say?" ”
"Yes, yes, Her Royal Highness said yes." Ning Pu only felt a cold sweat, and he didn't know if the bluestone slab ground was too cold, and the cool air was still drilling into his vest.
"Then since this test question was given by Lord Ning, Lord Ning naturally has a corresponding answer. Why don't you talk about it, is the empress's ascension to the throne in line with the ancestral rites? What should I do? What if it doesn't fit? ”
"Well, back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, these two test questions are divergent thinking questions, mainly to distinguish between those students." Ning Pu said intermittently, "Some students have brains and are sensitive to such political affairs, and they may be able to give His Highness a satisfactory answer." ”
"Oh? Lord Zhaoning said so, is this palace not even as good as those students? There is no divergent thinking in this palace-" Wu Jinghong's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, but his voice was cold, straight into Ning Pu's heart, "This palace only knows that the Yunguo court can't fall into the hands of others!" ”
