"It's a mess, it's a mess!" Xiao Da rushed into the study like the wind at his feet, [email protected]/* */

Zheng Qingluan got up with a smile and said while pouring tea, "Slow down, what's the hurry! He handed the teacup in his hand to Xiao Da, "Drink saliva, Shun Qi!"

The tea was warm, and Xiao Da didn't care about being polite, so he took it and poured it down in one go, "Master, the talents who came out of the examination room made a fuss." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"These people are really spiritual!" Xiao Yunfeng said with a smile, "In this kind of weather, if you stay in it for three days, you can't eat well, you can't sleep well, and you can't work hard, shouldn't you all be exhausted." How can there be a mental head. Why don't you hurry home to eat and sleep, and toss around nonsense! Can't you wait until tomorrow after you've eaten and slept enough? ”

"Ten years of hard study, how much time can be left for them. This is a waste of time, but it will be three years later! How many three years can people be wasted in life!" Zheng Qingluan nodded understandingly, "If the emperor decrees, Enke will be opened once next year, and the number of admissions will be hundreds and ten more than this time." These scholars were appeased. Their demands are really not high! They are just thinking of multiple ways to get into one's own life! In the final analysis, people are more concerned about things that are closely related to them. As for who sits on the dragon chair, how many people do they really care! If it is handled well, the emperor will also take this opportunity to gather in the hearts of the world's scholars. ”

Xiao Yunfeng shook his head, "Wouldn't that make the emperor bow his head to them, with the emperor's temperament, he is only afraid of difficulties! For such an unruly person, the emperor has always lacked patience. What's more, he is now like a trapped beast, completely losing his mind. Whoever is afraid will not be able to listen to what he says! Those who are afraid of speaking will also be misunderstood by him as taking the opportunity to 'invite people to buy people's hearts.'" ”

"I'm mainly afraid that the emperor will send troops to suppress it. There is inevitably conflict, which is going to kill people. Zheng Qingluan frowned. These scholars are all bookish people, and it is really not worth dying for this!

"We can't move!" Xiao Yunfeng shook his head, "Now we can only see how the prince's patrol battalion handles." ”

Prince!

Zheng Qingluan paused, then nodded, that's right! This is really an opportunity for the prince to win people's hearts.

Xiao Yunfeng asked, "Do you want to go and see?"

"No!" Zheng Qingluan smiled, "Let's just take a look at the prince's methods." ”

---------------

Chongwen Hall was originally a place for the crown prince to study. In the previous dynasty, the "Chongxian Pavilion Bachelor" was set up here to serve in the palace. Chongwenguan is also an aristocratic school of the previous dynasty. There was a stipulation: "There are twenty people born in Chongwen Pavilion, with relatives above the royal family, the queen mother and queen who have made great contributions or above, the prime minister and the scattered officials who are meritorious heroes, and those who are actually sealed, and the Beijing official ministry is the son of the Huangmen Shilang from the three products." In addition, the Chongbunkan is also the place where the secret books of the palace are collated, and it is a large royal library.

It is a very large palace complex. Now, hundreds of students have been invited by the crown prince into the Chongwen Pavilion, and there is no noise from everyone for a while. This place, perhaps, is a place that they will never be able to approach in their lifetime. Now he was solemnly invited inside by His Royal Highness the Prince. As scholars, how could they not be grateful for such courtesy and respect. Futons are placed in the main hall, and there is a place for everyone. The kang has long been burned, and sitting on the futon, it is warm. Immediately afterwards, the palace people sent ginger soup and a simple meal. There are also the doctors of the Tai Hospital, who take the pulse of everyone one by one. If you are really in poor health, please go to the couch in the side hall to rest. The side hall is next to the main hall, and any movement can be heard.

Although he hasn't seen the prince yet, this kind of hush and warmth still moved everyone inexplicably. What the literati want, in the final analysis, is nothing more than respect. People give enough face, and if they hold on to it, they can't talk about it. Although not all of them are sincere, even if they want to invite people's hearts. It is commendable to be able to do this.

Everyone ate and drank enough, their bodies warmed up, and their emotions were soothed. Calm down, many people have some regrets and fears. At that time, they were all supported by a breath of qi, and most of the anger was scattered at this time. The rest is trepidation and uneasiness! Where is this? This is the palace!

I was a little restless for a while!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" With a roll call outside the hall, everyone in the hall knelt down and bowed.

"Hehe! The prince's tone was full of smiles.

There were many people in the hall, and it was quiet when they heard that the rope was half ringing. They all peeked at the prince sitting on it. Twenty-three or four-year-old, slender and handsome, with a bit of heroism in his appearance. His eyes were peaceful, and there was a little smile on the corner of his mouth. Dressed in an apricot yellow prince's regular clothes, it makes people look noble and majestic. It's a bit of a sight to behold.

"Sit down. Sit down and let's talk. The prince's tone was gentle, and he did not mean to ask the teacher for sin. Everyone was relieved and somewhat comfortable.

Just listen to the prince said, "Before we speak, let you see something first." As he spoke, some palace people distributed something like an excerpt to the crowd. The prince explained, "This is a candidate's paper. Because of the time constraints, the amount of copying is small, so you should take turns to take a look. Let's talk after reading it. ”

The crowd couldn't help but look at each other, what did this mean? What kind of rolls are worth taking out when the crown prince is at such a time. So, three or five people made a bunch and looked at it curiously.

The prince didn't speak, but took the teacup and tasted it slowly. There is no rush at all. It was getting dark, and the lights were up. The entire hall is brightly lit.

After a while, there was a flurry of inhalations in the crowd, followed by a burst of whispering.

It's almost time. The prince put down the teacup in his hand and coughed, and the hall instantly fell silent. "You've all read the paper. Honestly, what do you think?"

At this time, a young man of about twenty years old stood out in the crowd, dressed in green clothes, extremely simple, "If you go back to Your Highness, except for some knowledge that students don't understand, your answers are extremely outstanding." This candidate should be the best among us. ”

"Lone knows you!" The prince glanced at the young man in front of him, "Your name is Xu Maocai, and during the township examination, you were below Xiao Zheng's Qingluan and won the second place, yes or no." ”

Xu Maocai was a little excited, he was dressed in white, and it was such an honor to be able to get the prince to remember his name. His face flushed a little with excitement, "It's the student." is just a cheap name, how dare you pollute the ears of His Highness. ”

The prince nodded, "It doesn't hurt to tell you, the owner of this test paper is none other than Xiao Zheng's." She had already turned in her papers the night before. I think that this volume should still be able to enter your eyes. ”

Everyone was a little ashamed, Xiao Zheng was still a girl who didn't pass the line, such a test paper, people can answer such a level, which proves that people have real talent and real learning, and it also proves that their group of people are not good at learning. If you are not good at learning art, you will blame the difficulty of the test questions, what is the reason. What a shame!

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, he continued, "One of the important reasons for the trouble is the question of this exam. I feel that the question is wrong, and you have not learned the test, which does not reflect your true level. Of course, there is nothing wrong with thinking about it this way. However, in Lone's view, this exam is more pragmatic!" The prince's words were just paused, and then there was a 'buzz', and the discussion began.

What does this mean, and whether the future exams should be focused on or not? That's not possible, they have studied the articles and scriptures for so many years, is it really useless?

The crown prince coughed, and when he saw that the hall was quiet, he continued, "Listen to me finish speaking, the subset of scripture and history, these will not change." However, the Lone Society asked the emperor to open another miscellaneous exam. Let the talents with expertise be used by the imperial court. ”

That's great!

Not every talent can become a lifter. Not everyone can become a jinshi. With miscellaneous subjects, as long as you specialize in one, the probability of coming out is much greater. Even if he is only a seventh- or eighth-grade petty official, he will not be able to step through the five-grade hurdle in his life. But it's much better than spending your life in the countryside. This is undoubtedly an additional door for readers to climb upward. How could anyone here not rejoice and be excited? Although this is just a blank check, it still needs to be suggested to the emperor. But even if the emperor doesn't agree, what does it matter. It's just a matter of time. The crown prince always has to ascend the throne!

"Your Highness Shengming!" The hall was filled with such sounds. There is no tension to make trouble outside the palace for a long time.

The prince smiled, "Of course, this method will not be implemented in a while. This time, many people with good knowledge are out of the threshold. Therefore, in order to compensate you, the Lone Society suggested to the emperor that you should open Enke once next year! ”

This is a good thing at hand! It's just a year late, and everyone has no reason not to accept it, and they are inexplicably grateful in their hearts, and they even call it 'the prince is wise.'"

"Lone also knows that you are all people who are worried about the country and the people. Otherwise, they would not risk raiding their homes and exterminating their clans, and gather people at the palace gate to make trouble. This world has always been the world of the people of the world. If the royal family is really unethical and corrupt, you will naturally say and scold. But as Xiao Zheng replied in the question, the true Tao is the road that guards the peace of the world. Therefore, let's not be provoked and used by a few people with ulterior motives. The prince said meaningfully.

At this moment, Ping Ziqian was also holding a copy of the exam paper in his hand.

Emperor Tai'an raised the test paper in his hand and asked, "Teacher, what do you think of this person?" ”

Ping Ziqian's expression was a little complicated, "Take the facts as the basis, take the law as the criterion, so that there is a law to follow, there is a law to follow, there is a law to follow, the law must be strictly enforced, and the violation must be investigated------ He pondered this repeatedly, "That's good! This person is a great talent! How can the old man not know that there are such amazing and brilliant characters in the capital!"

Emperor Tai'an sneered, "Is there anything else the teacher doesn't know?" To tell you the truth, this volume belongs to Zheng Qingluan! Zheng Qingluan, you know, it is Xiao Zheng's wife. ”

It's her!

A smile appeared on the corner of Ping Ziqian's mouth------
