Liu Hongxun knew at this time why the Emperor of the Apocalypse was scolded.

This guy .........

It's an elm head.

Of course, he didn't dare to say these words.

In fact, the other ministers also kept wooden faces and turned a deaf ear to Liu Hongxun's words.

Liu Hongxun was very embarrassed, so he said: "Speaking of which, the most certain person in Jinke is Liu Ruozai, Liu Ruozai...... The minister has read some of his articles before, and his foundation is very solid, and his writing is good, and the articles are ingenious, which is really rare......"

His remarks have attracted a lot of discussions.

"I've heard of this, too."

Even in a corner, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites said coldly: "I heard that his style is also very good." ”

When it comes to wind bones......

The Emperor of the Apocalypse seemed to hear something off-string.

So the face pulled down.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "I see, then Liu Ruozai is nothing great, but he will only make a few eight-strand articles." ”

In fact, as soon as the Emperor of the Apocalypse said it casually, everyone listened to it as a joke.

But these words are tantamount to scolding the ministers in the wings.

You must know that everyone started by relying on the eight strands of literature, and these eight strands of literature are everyone's ladder of advancement, so all the officials attach great importance to the eight shares and regard them as the guide.

Although there are also some readers, it makes no sense to scold a few sentences and make eight shares.

But...... I can scold myself, but if the emperor has such thinking, then it will not be.

There are so many scholars in the world, not to mention the hundred officials, just say that the sons and nephews of these hundred officials, which one is not learning the eight shares, and which one does not want to rely on this son to inherit the father's business, if Your Majesty does not value the eight shares, then what are we?

Liu Hongxun is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he had to speak at this time, Liu Hongxun said with a straight face: "Why did Your Majesty say this? The Tang Dynasty opened the imperial examination, and my Taizu Gao Emperor standardized the eight shares of scholars, which has been three hundred years. In the past 300 years, the imperial court has used eight shares to take scholars, so that Wenchen assisted the previous emperors to govern the world, which can be said to be a good practice. The way of the eight strands is related to the great canon of Luncai, and it is the cornerstone of my great ming, and His Majesty disdains the eight strands, isn't it the heart of the ministers? So where did Your Majesty put Sage Kong and Emperor Taizu Gao? The minister is dead, but His Majesty's words, if others listen to it, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the world, and I implore Your Majesty to be cautious in his words and deeds, so as not to chill the hearts of the people in the world. ”

Liu Hongxun's expression was very solemn, and after saying these words, he bowed down and made a big salute: "If Your Majesty thinks that the minister is too talkative, the minister would rather be a scholar, but these words should not be said again." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was dumbfounded, and only then did he realize that he had lost his words.

The eight shares are their roots, and if the roots are gone, then the legitimacy of being an official will be lost.

Huang Liji also hurriedly said: "What Liu Gong said is very true, these words are unspeakable." ”

Sun Chengzong's expression was solemn: "Your Majesty just doesn't choose what to say, but you need to be cautious next time." ”

The ministers followed Liu Hongxun and bowed down: "Please think twice before acting." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled bitterly: "I really said a few nonsense, okay, okay, it's just some whining words, I just don't like Liu Ruozai, it's not that I don't like the eight shares, these eight shares...... Eight shares are still very good, let's get up and talk. ”

"Why doesn't Your Majesty like Liu Ruozai?" Liu Hongxun struck while the iron was hot, broke the casserole and asked to the end.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't answer for a while.

Liu Hongxun continued: "He is a talented man, even if he occasionally makes a gaffe, or behaves carelessly, which angers His Majesty, Your Majesty should also be Haihan, this is the country's attitude towards scholars." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was ashamed, and he felt that he was being executed in public by these guys.

At this time, I couldn't get off the stage and wanted to scold people, but there were many people on the other side, not to mention that Sun Chengzong was also here, even if he was annoyed and angry, in front of the master, he had to swallow his anger.

In addition, even Huang Liji seems to be on the opposite side.

Apparently...... This is no longer a problem of Donglin, nor is it a problem of the Wei Party, this is related to the foundation of the corporal people in the world, this minister started by virtue of the identity of the scholar, of course, consciously safeguarding the interests of the scholar.

Wei Zhongxian was busy mediating on the side: "Your Majesty doesn't have this intention, don't you use the topic to play, didn't you say okay, you came to see the list?" As for that Liu Ruozai......"

As he was talking, someone had already come outside, and the whole person was panting.

All of a sudden, everyone's attention shifted to the visitor.

"The list is here?" Huang Liji breathed a sigh of relief, he was a coward, every time the minister and the emperor raised the bar, he, the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, was a sandwich biscuit, and he was always angry at both ends.

Okay now, look at the list, look at the list.

"It's been transcribed." As he spoke, the little eunuch hurriedly took out a piece of big yellow paper and carefully sent it to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse spread out the yellow paper, and all the ministers were excited and came up one after another.

People subconsciously want to find the names of their children and nephews.

There are also people who want to find some of their original favored fellow villagers.

Of course, the most interesting thing is the top of the list.

The yellow paper is rolled up, so it needs to be unfolded slowly.

When he was about to stretch his head, someone had sharp eyes and suddenly said: "Look, Liu Ruozai, Liu Ruozai is in the first place......"

Everyone looked at the top of the yellow paper that was stretched out, and the word Liu Ruozai was written.

As a result, many people showed a look of relief, and even Liu Hongxun couldn't help nodding.

Wrong......

Everyone found that this yellow paper has not been completely stretched, and this Liu Ruozai is on the head...... There is also a faint name.

All of a sudden...... Everyone whispered: "There are people who are more powerful than that Liu Ruozai?" ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse completely unfolded the yellow paper.

All of a sudden, three words that never made people think of them were displayed in front of them: "Guan Shao Ning ......"

The room exploded in an instant.

People who don't know what to do are still asking: "Which one is in charge of Shao Ning?" ”

"You forgot, that one, that ......"

"Complicit with Zhang Jing?"

People whispered and talked about it, not caring if these words would reach His Majesty's eyes.

Liu Hongxun's eyes are already straight, and his favorite article is this...... What does Shao Ning do?

Huang Liji's jaw is about to fall, who says that Shao Ning is a waste scumbag every day?

Sun Chengzong was even more surprised, in fact, he didn't pay any attention to this Guan Shaoning, and many rumors outside made him think that Guan Shaoning was just a Sven scum who clinged to Zhang Jingyi.

Although Sun Chengzong had a good impression of Zhang Jingyi, he also knew that with the rise of Zhang Jingyi's status, it was natural that there would be a group of sycophants who tried their best to please him.

Can...... Why can such a Sven scum get the first place and beat Liu Ruozai, who everyone is optimistic about?

A person with such knowledge, does he still need to cling to a brocade guard?

So more questions came one after another.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse himself was also very surprised, at this time, he kept rubbing his eyes, and tears were about to be wiped out.

And then...... The Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly jumped up: "Frightened! ”

This sudden move startled everyone.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse shook his head and said, "Guan Shaoning, is it Zhang Jingyi's disciple?" ”

Wei Zhongxian first went from shock to jealousy, and finally said in a sour tone: "Yes." ”

Hearing the exact answer, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was overjoyed and said: "It turned out to be him, no wonder, it's really amazing, it seems that Zhang Qing's family has a good way to teach him, haha...... This will be like a bag to take things, which is really remarkable. Zhang Qing's family is really powerful, just teach a disciple and write a so-so eight-strand essay, and all the readers in the world can't compare. ”

What do you say...... The ministers in the wing room suddenly felt that their faces were hot and painful.

The expression on Liu Hongxun's face was naturally ugly, but he seemed to want to protect his face, so he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is ...... Maybe it's luck. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced at Liu Hongxun and couldn't help but say, "Luck? So how many rankings did you take the exam, and you were able to pass the exam, is it also luck? Otherwise, I will reopen the course, and all the secretaries will take a new test to see who is indiscriminate, only by luck, and who is really talented and learned. ”

Liu Hongxun: "......"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse continued triumphantly: "This is true talent and real learning, it is a real ability, what did you just say?" It is said that the country has been a scholar for 300 years, and the eight shares are the cornerstone of my Ming Dynasty. Why, you don't think it's the cornerstone now? Aren't you afraid of putting Sage Kong and Emperor Taizu Gao in an awkward position? ”

Liu Hongxun was embarrassed, and he couldn't argue anything for a while.

He can recognize a lonely and unknown Guan Shaoning, after all, the articles on the top list are indeed brilliant. can make him believe that this Guan Shao Ning was trained by a young man in Jinyiwei, and he easily won Huiyuan, he ...... Unacceptable.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said happily: "But I am different from you, you think that the Eight Strands Article may not be able to measure a person's knowledge, and you think that sometimes you can rely on luck. But I know that the eight strands are the true talents, and the other so-called poetry is just miscellaneous learning. Liu Qingjia, you are the secretary of the dignified Ministry of Rites, the chief examiner of this department, don't you recognize the Huiyuan you personally ordered now, and don't you recognize the way of the eight shares? You are a minister, you should pay attention to your words and deeds, and if you think twice before acting, you should be very cautious in your actions, if not, others will listen to your words and think that you are deviant? If you do this again, I will expel you from Confucianism, and you can't spoil the knowledge of Sage Confucius, nor can you go against the ancestral law of Emperor Taizu Gao. ”

Liu Hongxun: "......"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse seemed to feel dry because he had said too much at once, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a big sip of tea, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, Liu Qing, you don't have to be afraid, this is just a joke." Come, everyone sit down, and I will tell you what is the way of the eight strands and what is the method of the ancestors. Listen well, everyone, and you will benefit immensely from the custody of the teachings. ”
