Chapter 190: Speak up
Zhao Hai sat in the Chengming Hall with satisfaction, waiting for these dozens of people to enter the hall. There were exactly twenty-seven mahogany tables in front of him, which corresponded to these twenty-seven people. Their names were pasted on the table.
It didn't take long for a group of mermaids to enter the Chengming Palace, and under the guidance of Li Angelica, they came to their positions one by one, standing respectfully.
All the scholars did not dare to take the liberty of looking at Zhao Hai Longyan for the time being, after all, they had not yet saluted.
Zhao Hai nodded to Li Angelica, "Have all the people from the point of visit arrived?" Are there any who are late for leave of absence? ”
Li Angelica wiped a cold sweat. Who dares to joke about their future at this juncture. If you are late for leave, you still want to be an official in this life.
Li Angelica said: "Your Majesty, everyone has arrived. There are no people who have taken leave or are late for the time being. ”
Zhao Hai nodded with satisfaction.
Then Li Angelica whispered to the people around him: "You guys salute quickly." ”
More than 20 scholars respectfully knelt down to Zhao Hai and bowed a standard salute, and then said, "Caomin, meet Your Majesty." Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me. Lift up your heads and let me see. Zhao Hai said with a smile.
All the readers, at the same time raised their heads.
When they saw Zhao Hai's face, they were petrified and solidified for a while.
No one thought that Zhao Hai was actually the Zhao Menglong he had seen at the Weihe Poetry Club before!
Zhao Hai is so young, and he is actually the same person as Zhao Menglong, who is famous and powerful over Cao Jingchun.
Everyone's faces were surprised and their mouths looked like they could swallow an egg.
Especially Cao Jingchun, he once saw Zhao Menglong's demeanor in person, and he still remembers Zhao Hai's appearance vividly.
He was extremely sure that the person in front of him was Zhao Menglong!
"The grass people have been presumptuous before, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." Cao Jingchun's face changed slightly, and he knelt on the ground and said to Zhao Hai.
"I didn't expect Your Majesty to have such a splendid talent in his belly, which made the grass people, a dry scholar, extremely ashamed."
In their impressions, Zhao Hai has always been the image of a rumored tyrant, and Zhao Menglong, who was as talented as an immortal before, chanted the great poet who recited the water of the Yellow River from the sky and rushed to the sea and never returned.
But the reality is so incredible!
Twenty-eight people knelt on the ground again, and this time they knelt down, not because it was the emperor in front of them, but because of the talent of the person in front of them, and they were completely impressed by them.
Zhao Hai smiled and said: "Why, you didn't expect that I was Zhao Menglong, who shined at the Weihe Poetry Conference at that time!" Hahaha! ”
"Angelica, go, bring a bowl of the sour plum soup I let you boil in advance and the ice powder I specially asked you to make. Let them taste it. In this big summer, answering a day's papers, it's really tiring you, hahaha. ”
"No." Li Angelica slowly withdrew from the temple gate.
"Your Majesty, it is really an honor for my generation to be able to pass His Majesty's exam and get the test questions from His Majesty's own hands, so there is no such thing as being tired or not." Cao Jingchun stood up and said to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai smiled, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, "Your answer sheet today is very good." I am very satisfied. I can see from the scroll that you are all diligent and hard-working, full of books, and have not neglected your studies. ”
"Lu Boyang, he didn't disappoint me, he didn't pick a wine bag and rice bag to put in front of me, I am very pleased."
Many scholars wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads and breathed a long sigh of relief. Hearing that Zhao Hai was satisfied, they were relieved.
Yesterday, Zhao Hai was in Xianyang City and wantonly killed the rebels. The crying and screaming did not stop all night. They were so frightened that they couldn't get a good night's sleep.
When I got up early the next morning, I was summoned by Zhao Hai and hurried to the palace.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hai came up and gave them a volume, which was still about the strategy of Great Qin's governance.
They were frightened, and Zhao Hai was testing to see if they had any dealings with Liu Yuan, and whether they had the same political ideals and line as Liu Yuan.
Therefore, many scholars actually chose between the cracks, and they pondered and pondered, in addition to explaining the current situation of Great Qin and the direction of the future, more importantly, to avoid Liu Yuan's statecraft in the past.
Looking at it now, it should have been effective.
Zhao Hai looked at the twenty-eight people in front of him with satisfaction, at least in terms of appearance and demeanor, they were also relatively satisfactory, and there was no rough and unkempt madness. If he encounters such a situation, Zhao Hai will also feel a little tricky.
Zhao Hai picked up the list from the table, looked at it, and suddenly saw a name in the lower left corner circled in red.
This immediately attracted his attention, "Angelica, come over and help me see, what's going on?" ”
Li Angelica walked up to Zhao Hai with a nervous expression and looked at the list on the table.
"Your Majesty, is this the person you are talking about?" Li Angelica's finger pointed to the three words Chu Lingran in the roster on the table.
Zhao Hai frowned and nodded, "Didn't you say that there are no future students who are late or sick today?" What's going on with this person? ”
Li Angelica knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty forgives me, this person did not explain to His Majesty before, it was the minister's mistake." ”
"Chu Lingran, according to the previous investigation by Lord Wu, was found to be related to Liu Yuan's rebellion against the party. He was implicated in the Liu Yuan case and is still among the court lieutenants. ”
Zhao Hai nodded, "I see, then it's no wonder you." ”
Zhao Hai continued to flip through the roster in his hand.
At this time, Cao Jingchun, who was sitting at the front, closest to Zhao Hai, could no longer sit still.
He was so anxious that his heart was on fire, and he suddenly walked out of his seat, stood aside, and knelt down respectfully to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked at Cao Jingchun in surprise, "Cao Jingchun, what are you doing here?" Didn't I say that you don't have to bow anymore? ”
Cao Jingchun said: "Your Majesty, please also ask Your Majesty to forgive your sins, it is not pedantic flattery." The grass people said a few words for Chu Lingran. ”
"According to Cao Min's previous understanding of Chu Lingran, he must have nothing to do with the anti-thief rebellion against His Majesty. Chu Lingran is righteous, loyal to His Majesty, and is not greedy for power and wealth, and only wants to do learning. How could such a person be willing to be in the company of Liu Yuan? ”
"The grass people are willing to guarantee with their lives, Chu Lingran definitely did not participate in the rebellion against His Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty to investigate him more before drawing conclusions."
Zhao Hai looked at him in surprise, "Cao Jingchun, I didn't expect you to be so bold. ”
"Now the ministers in the court, one counts as one, and when they hear about things related to Liu Yuan, they are all like hiding from the plague, hiding far away, for fear of getting involved with themselves."
