Chapter 358: Peeling back the cocoon, the water is revealed
At the moment when Mei Changsu's identity was revealed, the previously scattered plot was like parts all over the ground suddenly bitten into a precision machine, and with a "bang", the gate knife was pulled down, and the plot began to enter the stage of high-speed operation.
Nightmares, snatching heirs, contesting to recruit relatives, and sin slaves in the secluded court......
A seemingly unrelated person and event is clearly strung together as a line.
Mei Changsu, who had always refused the invitation of the Nihuang County Lord, suddenly agreed to see her at this time.
Only then did the audience know that Nihuang had always wanted to see him because two years ago, Mei Changsu's Jiang Zuo League had helped the southern border and defeated the enemy's naval division, so Nihuang wanted to thank him in person.
And Mei Changsu took the opportunity to ask the county lord to serve as the examiner of the recruitment exam.
Nihuang thought that he was going to use this to enter the officialdom, so he readily agreed.
Immediately afterwards, an unexpected dark horse suddenly appeared in the ring that had been arranged by political tricks: an unknown Northern Yan warrior Qifeng burst out and entered the top ten.
In the next stage of the essay examination, the examiner Mei Changsu came up with a question of strategy, and unexpectedly, this Beiyan man actually wrote an article that was smooth and stable, which was a big surprise.
The Great Liang court naturally did not want the county lord to marry other countries.
But the rules have already been set, and at this time, it is impossible to say with a clear conscience that people can't write or fight, so it's difficult to ride a tiger.
When he was at a loss, Mei Changsu, who was the examiner of the literary examination, suddenly opened his mouth.
"The Baili Warrior is indeed a martial artist, and he has the courage to be invincible," in the hall of the literary examination, Mei Changsu held on to the examination paper of Beiyan Bailiqi, the corners of his mouth curled, and a smile appeared in his eyes, and said, "But this strategy, heh." β
He threw the exam paper on the table with his hand, and said disgustedly: "The paper is full of pedantic words, and it is unbearable!" β
When Bailiqi heard this, he smiled and said: "Whether this article is well written or not, it seems that it is all up to the examiner's mouth?" β
Mei Changsu looked at him with a smile and said, "Baili Warrior, do you want me to point out where your 'pedantic' strategy is?" β
Bai Liqi sneered and said, "Since Mr. has been appointed as an examiner, he must be a university scholar. β
"I don't dare to argue with Mr."
"But Da Liang chose a son-in-law for the county lord and set the rules of martial arts first and then literature, I thought it was fair, but now it seems that this is a person who can't do anything in the ring, so he plans to sell Guan Zi from the text?"
These words made everyone in the hall look at each other and was very embarrassed.
Emperor Liang and the others did have such an idea, wanting to euphemistically remove him from the ranks of choosing a son-in-law.
But at this time, his thoughts were exposed in public, and his face was a little unbearable.
However, at this time, Mei Changsu's face did not show any embarrassment.
He looked at Bailiqi calmly and said with a smile: "What's the strategy, why do you need me to argue with you." β
As he spoke, he turned his head to look outside the temple gate as if unintentionally, and said, "I just met a little boy who was sweeping the courtyard outside the hall, and I chatted with him casually. β
"This little boy often serves in the palace, listens to the princes read, listens to the courtiers talk, but also has some insight."
"Why don't you let him judge the strategy of the Hundred Mile Warriors?"
As soon as these words came out, Baili Qiden was furious.
And Emperor Liang on the side also felt that this was too humiliating, and just wanted to persuade him, but Bai Liqi took the initiative to shout: "Which little boy, you call him in!" β
Hearing this, the people of Daliang hurriedly opened their mouths to comfort and told Bailiqi to calm down.
However, Bailiqi insisted on confronting the little boy in the hall, but he had no choice but to go to the outside of the hall to find the little boy Mei Changsu said and bring him into the main hall.
A moment later, a boy dressed in coarse cloth was ushered into the temple.
As soon as everyone saw him with a skinny and vegetable-looking appearance, they immediately felt that the meaning of humiliation was even stronger, and the royal relatives and dignitaries full of people showed embarrassment.
At this time, in a corner of the main hall, King Jing Xiao Jingyan couldn't help but be slightly moved.
He had a guess from the time Mei Changsu mentioned the "boy outside the palace", and it was not until this time that he finally verified Fang Cai's conjecture.
- It's Tingsheng!
The boy Mei Changsu said who listened to the courtiers' discussions was Tingsheng.
King Jing looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, full of doubts, not knowing what Mei Changsu's plan was.
Ting gave birth to a child, can he really read Bailiqi's strategy?
He grew up in the Hidden Garden, what insight can he have?
As a result, immediately after, a scene that made everyone stunned appeared:
Mei Changsu concisely talked about the views in Bailiqi's theory and asked Tingsheng what he thought.
Tingsheng obviously didn't learn how to make a fuss, and with Mei Changsu's encouragement and inspiration, he stumbled and talked about his own thoughts, all in the vernacular.
However, it is precisely these crude vernacular words that point out the unrealistic and whimsical parts of Beliqi's article that make people suddenly realize.
Mei Changsu and Tingsheng said a word, and I said a word, and in a chatty tone, they criticized Bailiqi's proud strategy from head to toe.
Bailiqi tried to argue at first, but soon, he was sweaty and speechless by Tingsheng's naΓ―ve remarks.
Moreover, although Tingsheng's views are crude, they coincide with the "New Deal" that Emperor Liang is trying to implement recently, which has attracted Emperor Liang's personal praise.
Seeing this, the other people around hurriedly echoed it.
Bailiqi's face became more and more ugly, and after a while, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and even ignored etiquette, and left the table directly, striding out of the hall in shame.
"Hahaha......"
Seeing this, Emperor Liang was overjoyed and couldn't help laughing out loud in the hall.
Before Mei Changsu could say anything, the Nihuang County Lord was the first to ask for forgiveness for this child, and Emperor Liang agreed on the spot.
At this time, King Jing, who was sitting in the corner of the main hall, looked at Mei Changsu's back and was surprised.
In just a few days, he really asked for forgiveness for the court!
- How exactly is this done?
β¦β¦
After a while, the camera turned, and the essay exam ended.
King Jing found an opportunity to find Mei Changsu privately and asked him what was wrong with Fang Cai.
Mei Changsu looked at King Jing calmly, and after a while, he said, "This matter is simple. β
He paused slightly, and said, "This strategy of Bailiqi was actually written by me for him. β
King Jing was stunned when he heard this: "You wrote it for Bailiqi?" Do you know Beliqi? β
Mei Changsu said indifferently: "When I was in Beiyan back then, I had the honor to help this hundred-mile warrior with some small favors. β
"As for Tingsheng...... Where are the loopholes in this article, and what kind of views are in line with Emperor Liang's mind, I wrote clearly in the book I gave to Tingsheng that day. β
"So I said at the time that I would test him in the future. If you can't answer, you won't be able to get out of the hidden court. β
As he spoke, he looked up at King Jing unhurriedly and said with a smile: "Your Highness is still satisfied?" β
