Chapter 163: The Heart of the Monarch and the Heart of the Minister

After Lu Zongdai finished reading the article, Zhao Zhen praised it, and then asked knowingly: "Lu Qingjia, who wrote this article?" ”

Lu Zongdai replied truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty, this article was written by Youyang Weichen. ”

"Youyang Weichen?" Zhao Zhen said with a look of surprise: "Is that Wei Chen, who is a five-yuan liankui?" ”

"That's the man." Lu Zongdai said with a smile: "If Your Majesty appoints this Wei Chen as the champion, then he will be the first scholar in our Great Zhou to win six yuan." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded, feeling very comfortable.

In the imperial examinations, even the three yuan in the middle school has been extremely rare, and it can be called the first in the text.

So what if someone hits six dollars in a row?

That is Wen Kui among Wen Kui, the first person in a thousand years!

Since the imperial examination, there has never been such a figure.

If there is a scholar who wins six yuan under the rule of Zhao Zhen, it will definitely be called auspicious from heaven, and Zhao Zhen, as the son of heaven, can also increase his face.

Those who are even in the six elements must be the reincarnation of Wenqu Xingjun, and the king who can get the Xingjun descending to the world is naturally the eternal saint of the three emperors and five emperors of Derby!

Zhao Zhen has lived for most of his life, so he can naturally understand that this so-called Ancient Sage Monarch is just a false name, and the reason why he is keen on it is because this false name has a very practical meaning for him.

Zhao Zhen's biggest pain point is his difficulty in the matter of heirs, he is not unable to give birth, his sons did give birth to several, but unfortunately none of them can live past the age of three.

Seeing that Zhao Zhen was getting older and older, but the matter of the heir was not settled, the ministers headed by Han Zhang finally couldn't sit still, and they wrote to Zhao Zhen to ask Zhao Zhen to determine the prince as soon as possible, that is, to hurry up and pass the succession clan.

Zhao Zhen has a benevolent temperament, and he used to listen to the advice of his courtiers, but in this matter, he was rarely very persistent, ignoring the advice of his courtiers, and working hard in the harem, only to give birth to a biological son to inherit his throne.

This is also human nature, not to mention Zhao Zhen, a high-ranking Ninety-Five Supreme, even if it is an ordinary ordinary person, who wants his hard-earned family business to fall into the hands of outsiders?

So, for the sake of establishing a prince, Zhao Zhen and his courtiers fell into an endless struggle.

The official who wrote to advise was like a leek, cutting a batch and growing another batch, which made Zhao Zhen anxious and annoyed, so he could only persevere.

Now, Zhao Zhen, who has been tortured by the officials for a long time, finally sees a ray of light.

As long as Wei Chen is named the champion, and Da Zhou is the first scholar to win six yuan in a thousand years under the rule of Zhao Zhen, then Zhao Zhen will naturally be crowned with the name of the Holy Monarch.

The name is right.

The Holy Monarch of the Ages, praised by all the people, is naturally benevolent and good governance, since Zhao Zhen is the Holy Monarch, then his persistence has always had a righteous basis.

In the past, the ministers could also use the deeds of the ancient Ming Jun to advise Zhao Zhen, but now Zhao Zhen himself is a rare saint monarch through the ages, if the ministers dare to continue to make noise, it is their fault.

The name of this holy monarch, even if it can't completely block the mouths of the speech officials, at least it can make the speech officials stop for a while, so that Zhao Zhen can breathe a sigh of relief and concentrate on working hard in the harem.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen wanted to point Weichen as the champion, not because he was temporarily motivated during the palace test, in fact, after the township test, when he heard that Xie Yuan of Jiangnan Province had been connected to the fourth yuan, Zhao Zhen had this thought.

It's just that Zhao Zhen also had concerns at that time, the six yuan and the first are eternal events, and once they appear, they will inevitably attract the attention of scholars all over the world.

If the talent of Lianzhong Liuyuan can't convince the people of the world, then even if Zhao Zhen forcibly promotes this Liuyuanlang, it will not make much sense, not only will it not achieve his original intention, but it will also give the officials one more reason to advise.

Fortunately, Wei Chen has been down-to-earth all the way, not only in the imperial examination, but also in the poetry collection, which has also sold well in the north and south of the country, and has long been recognized as a world-recognized talent.

Such a character, even if he completes the feat of Lianzhong Liuyuan, will shock the world at most, but it will not cause too much controversy.

"In the final analysis, it's still Wei Chen, this kid, who fights for his own luck, and I'm just pushing the boat along the water. Speaking of which, I have to thank him for that. ”

Thinking of the unspeakable grievances of the officials, Zhao Zhen, who had suffered from the officials over the years, felt a burst of relief in his heart, and even his good impression of Wei Chen increased.

However, just as Zhao Zhen was in a good mood and was about to open his mouth to point Wei Chen as the champion, His Royal Highness sounded an inopportune voice.

"Your Majesty, the palace test is a national talent ceremony, how can you make up the numbers for the sake of the good story of six yuan and the first? In Yichen's view, this is a misguided move for the country and talents! ”

Zhao Zhen's intention to point Wei Chen as the champion has been very clear, and at this time, there is still the courage to touch the emperor's moldy head, naturally it is Han Zhang, the head of the Longtu Pavilion.

Although the auspicious rui of the sixth yuan and the first is good, but only for Zhao Zhen, Han Zhang and they don't want to see Zhao Zhen gain confidence because of this, and they become more and more stubborn in the matter of establishing a reserve, and they can't listen to advice.

Just after Han Zhang, the second assistant Wen Yanchang also stood up and sprayed wildly at Wei Chen: "Although this son is talented, he is a flattering person, and his mind is really treacherous, Weichen thinks that this son is not advisable!" ”

Then, Xu Mu came out again and talked about the great road of kings, ministers, fathers, fathers and sons, quoting scriptures and classics, which was irrefutable, and almost stunned Zhao Zhen who was sitting on the throne.

However, where there are people, there is fighting, don't look at the current persuasion of the monarch to establish a prince is the general trend, but the ministers also have their own careful thoughts.

Let's talk about Shoufu Han Zhang first, in fact, he may not really want to take the lead in offending the Son of Heaven, but the following discussion is raging, and he, as the head of a hundred officials, can only be put on the table.

Besides, Xu Mu, he is ranked last in the Longtu Pavilion and has the least right to speak, what he cares about is to get a share of support from the new monarch, so as to go further.

Among the three scholars, only the second assistant Wen Yanchang is truly out of a public heart.

It seems that the monolithic scholars are still like this, not to mention the other seven paper readers.

Zhao Zhenyu has been extremely experienced in struggle for nearly forty years, and he quickly found a breakthrough from it.

Lu Zongdai, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

He is a veteran of the two dynasties, and he is highly respected, even if he is the current first assistant Han Zhang, he has to be called an old-timer in private, which also means that Lu Zongdai's words carry a lot of weight.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Lu Zongdai is very old, and he has not been until he retires to Zhishi, and he no longer cares about the battles in the court, he just wants to ask for a shadow for his young son who is not angry, and this is also doomed, he will stand on Zhao Zhen's side.

Sure enough, Zhao Zhen just handed over a look, and Lu Zongdai understood it, and went out to play: "Your Majesty, seeing the micro knowledge, watching the text and knowing the people, Wei Chen thinks that Wei Chen is not only the best in the contemporary era, but also a loyal man, such a young talent, not the world is not enough to praise his loyalty, Wei Chen is brave, and recommends Wei Chen as the champion." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

As soon as Lu Zongdai's voice fell, Liu Tingxi, a scholar from Hanlin, also stepped forward.

The Hanlin Academy is different from other imperial court institutions, it is very independent, Liu Tingxi is in charge of the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, also known as the "Wenxiang", and the real power is almost the same as that of a scholar, so naturally there is no need to look at the face of Longtu Pavilion.

Liu Tingxi really cherished Wei Chen's talent, and couldn't bear to see him buried in it, so he said earnestly: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen's articles are full of brilliance, and the chapters and chapters are gorgeous. ”

Previously, Wei Chen's volume could draw five circles, which meant that there were five paper readers who appreciated his articles, but at this time, with Lu Zongdai and Liu Tingxi, the remaining three paper readers had no worries and went out to second the proposal.

Seeing that the scene had formed a five-on-five, and the two sides were evenly matched, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but smile slightly.

Since the courtiers are arguing, it is up to him, the Son of Heaven, to make the final decision.
