Chapter 348: Retreat is Advance
Zhu Bai said: "Big brother, don't panic. When he really becomes the champion, I naturally have a way. ”
Three days later, the temple examination was held at the Mukden Temple.
Lao Zhu sat on the dragon chair in regular clothes, and Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao sat on the left and right.
One hundred and fifty tributes stood in a row on the great hall.
Lao Zhu glanced below, and saw that the tributes were either handsome or handsome, all of them were talented, and he was secretly happy in his heart: The people selected in this imperial examination are very good.
Lao Zhu extended and expanded the questions from the previous five examiners, and asked the following one hundred and fifty people one by one.
Although Lao Zhu tried his best to put on an amiable appearance at this time, the murderous aura on his body still made the people below tremble uncontrollably.
Some people stammered, some people were completely stupid, and they didn't respond for a long time when they heard the question.
Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao's previous two were so nervous, and when they answered the question, their voices trembled.
In contrast, Ouyang Lun was calm and composed, behaved appropriately, and answered questions generously and concisely.
At the end of the palace test, Lao Zhu appointed Ouyang Lun as the champion, and ordered Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai to do Tanhua and Bangyan respectively.
Zhu Biao pursed his lips, but there was no way.
Removing moral flaws, comprehensive style and appearance, Ouyang Lun is indeed the strongest.
At the end of the palace test, Ouyang Lun was allowed to wear the champion uniform and rode a high-headed horse from the palace gate to the door of the house to show the emperor's favor.
It's a beautiful sight.
Lao Zhu walked away together, and Zhu Biao asked Zhu Bai in a low voice: "Twelfth brother, what is your method, what is it?" ”
Zhu Bai smiled, pointed to the back, and walked back.
Zhu Biao followed him, and then saw several of his younger sisters hiding behind.
The princesses had red cheeks and eyes like autumn water, looking like their little daughter Sichun.
Zhu Biao instantly understood Zhu Bai's intentions. These younger sisters have indeed reached the age of marriage.
The princesses were a little embarrassed, and after saluting Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai, they whispered and left.
Zhu Biao asked Zhu Bai: "What did you tell them?" ”
Zhu Bai said: "To tell the truth, today's father wants to choose the champion to explore the flowers." They went to ask their father for permission and watched the excitement in the back. ”
Anyway, as soon as that screen is blocked, you can see the outside inside, but you can't see the inside from the outside.
In fact, these princesses, even if they come to see it, they can only take a look at the temperament and style of the jinshi from a distance.
And today, in order to win Lao Zhu's favor, Ouyang Lun didn't dare to dress up too sassy and dress elegantly.
It's just that this kind of dress is the easiest to hook the girl's soul.
Zhu Biao frowned slightly: "Is this good?" Ouyang Lun's family is so poor......"
Do you really want to cheat your own sister like this?
Zhu Bai sighed: "Ouyang Lun has become a colt, and his father will naturally not let him suffer from poverty again." Besides, his personality is really inappropriate for being an official, but being a husband is not necessarily a shortcoming. ”
To put it mildly, what kind of backbone do people need to be a colt?
In the future, the wealth and glory of the family will depend on the wife, and they must do their best to pamper and flatter their wives and make their wives happy.
It just so happens that Ouyang Lun is good at this.
Moreover, he is highly educated, has literary talents, and his appearance, temperament, demeanor and figure are not bad.
All things considered, isn't it a "good husband" who is one in a million?
Therefore, if the princess marries in the past, she will definitely not be wronged, let alone resent Zhu Bai.
Zhu Biao nodded slightly: "That's the same." ”
Zhu Bai said again: "Now that Ouyang Lun is already the champion appointed by his father, he has no choice but to run, if he doesn't want to be a disaster in the future, he can only give him a concubine, an official who has no real power but can be rich." ”
This dynasty stipulates that in order to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics, the concubine cannot be an official with real power, and can only hang the name of a pro-army captain.
To put it bluntly, he is the honorary captain of the Royal Security Corps.
As long as Ouyang Lun is willing to be a concubine, he must only be a pro-army lieutenant for a lifetime, and he can't set off any storms.
And this has the advantage of invalidating a chess piece that Hu Weiyong painstakingly arranged.
At most, the court wasted some money to support him.
The lesser of two evils......
Thinking about it, so far, I don't see any harm in letting Ouyang Lun be a colt.
Zhu Biao: "Okay." ”
Zhu Bai said: "I will persuade my father, and my eldest brother will persuade Ouyang Lun." And it was done. ”
He really didn't like Ouyang Lun too much, and he was afraid that he would see him later, so he couldn't help but give him two big ears first, and this thing would not be done.
So, he couldn't go.
Zhu Biao stretched out his hand: "Okay, let's divide into two ways." ”
Now Zhu Biao is used to this action.
Zhu Bai smiled and high-fived him: "Come on, big brother." ”
Lao Zhu just finished picking a few young talents, and he was in a good mood at this time.
When he saw Zhu Bai coming in, he said, "Say, you rebel, what kind of trick are you going to play when you take a few of your sisters to see the candidates?!" ”
Zhu Bai said: "Alas, my father, the emperor, and the sisters of the sons and daughters have all reached the age of marriage. Today, I have gathered young talents in the Ming Dynasty, which is a good opportunity to choose a horse. ”
Lao Zhu said: "That's what I said. ”
Although the country needs to employ people, it is a lot less.
Besides, people who can make a fuss may not be able to do things.
His daughter's lifelong event, but he can't try this or choose that again.
Lao Zhu thought for a while and said, "What is Ouyang Lun's background?" ”
Zhu Bai replied honestly: "He is a child of a poor family, but he is from an innocent background. ”
He was not wrong, he was not cheap, even if he was born innocent.
Lao Zhu frowned.
Zhu Bai said, "Father, Emperor. People like us don't care about the bride price, and we don't expect to rely on our in-laws to get promoted and make a fortune. As long as the other party is innocent, it's fine. ”
If the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty are shelved, the emperor will still use the princess and relatives.
To Lao Zhu, this article does not exist anymore.
Lao Zhu had only one policy to deal with the surrounding countries: either the other party took the initiative to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and pay tribute, or he fought until the other party surrendered and paid tribute.
The other party can send his daughter to Daming to play with Lao Zhu, and ask Lao Zhu to give his daughter to other countries as a daughter-in-law, which is absolutely impossible!!
Lao Zhu smiled: "No, he is poor, we can make him not poor." We also come from poor families. Let's talk about how much a family can spend on food, drink, housing and transportation. We can afford it. ”
Zhu Bai said: "No, my father is wise." Moreover, the father has always asked his sons to vigorously promote the imperial examination. If Ouyang Lun, a son of a poor family, was admitted to the top prize and jumped into the dragon gate and became a concubine, wouldn't that be the best publicity? ”
There is only one champion in three years, and there are even fewer civilian horses.
It's not too much to say that he is one in a million.
But it doesn't matter, because the people don't think about it.
The information they received was: As long as they participate in the imperial examination, they can become officials and horses!!
Lao Zhu touched his chin: "This is also true." ”
Zhu Bai said again: "The fourth sister's temper is also known to my father. ”
If you want to marry, you must choose the oldest princess Anqing from the daughters who are now waiting for words.
Princess Anqing is the fourth oldest among the princesses and is the second daughter born to Queen Ma.
