61. Arrogant and mediocre, when the dynasty chooses a husband

What was it like to be on the throne for the first time?

Zhao Xuanqi's first feeling was tired.

Standing in a certain position, you can't just look left and right, and you can't look up.

And the eyes of the surrounding civil and military officials, as well as the emperor's eyes, were all gathered on himself and others.

The line of sight is sharp, like a blade, straight into the heart, as if I can't wait to dissect the body cleanly and see it clearly.

It's so tiring.

Not only the body is tired, but also the heart.

It's just an ordeal.

If the psychological quality is not good, in this case, even if you can't speak, your mind will only go blank.

Fortunately, Zhao Xuanqi's psychological quality is okay, there are no mistakes, and his head is flexible.

Everything that follows is a process.

The eunuch announced the majesty of the emperor, which roughly means: everyone must listen to the emperor's words after being admitted to the Jinshi, and everything that can be obtained now is the emperor's favor.

Then everyone bowed, solemnly thanked the emperor, deducted the emperor's grace, and shouted long live.

Then Emperor Jingming spoke out to everyone not to be nervous, not to be polite, and to give everyone the right to look up at the emperor.

That's, though.

When Zhao Xuanqi and the others raised their heads to look, they couldn't see the true face of Emperor Jingming at all.

There was a hazy curtain on the throne, and only a man could be faintly seen sitting on the throne through the silk veil.

There was another figure standing next to the man, and it seemed to be a woman? Is there a woman above the court? Could it be the emperor's wife?

"Why are you so mysterious? is also covered with a curtain, the new science and technology jinshi can't see the emperor's face, and when he meets the emperor in the future, I'm afraid he won't know him, right? But it's still a long time, and there will always be a chance to see the emperor in the future......"

Zhao Xuanqi kept complaining in his heart.

Next, there is the temple examination.

Emperor Jingming began to roll call, randomly sampling some jinshi to answer questions.

Most of the questions asked are about pairs, but also about composing poems.

There is also a small part of the understanding of some classic tests, including chatting with the new science and technology scholars, asking where they come from, and asking where there is what kind of scenery.

Emperor Jingming's voice spoke with a special majesty, giving people a sense of oppression, but it could not hide the gentleness in his voice, as well as the indifference when he spoke, and the generosity in his tone.

From these simple details, it can be analyzed that this emperor's personality is mostly better, he belongs to the kind of emperor who is easier to talk, he will not get angry casually, and his temperament is relatively gentle.

This kind of good old man emperor is usually easier to fool.

Zhao Xuanqi was naturally spot-checked.

As the first Jinshi this time.

He is the object of special attention.

Emperor Jingming spot-checked many questions to him, and most of the questions were relatively complex and difficult.

Zhao Xuanqi did not cheat, his talents and learning are all real, and in the face of these questions, the answers are fluent.

At first, he was still a little afraid, afraid that the emperor would not be able to answer the questions he asked, and then make a fool of himself in this palace.

But the more you answer, the more confident you become.

Emperor Jingming asked all the classic test content in books, or composing poems and lyrics, these are the areas he is best at, and it is impossible to make mistakes.

It's like if you have a high school talent, and when you took the college entrance examination, you found that the college entrance examination question was a simple question like 1+1=2, and your confidence came up all of a sudden.

The more Zhao Xuanqi answered, the more confident he became, and when he got to the back, he was full of confidence, he was full of poetry and books, and he was no longer nervous when he spoke, and he became confident.

The Jinshi standing around Zhao Xuanqi, after all, it was the first time to come to the main hall, and the eyes of many big people were superimposed on their bodies, and they were very nervous, inevitably a little nervous, and cringe.

Zhao Xuanqi's confident appearance is simply standing out from the crowd, very conspicuous, and his talent is vividly displayed, suppressing the aura of others.

"Good, good!"

"You are worthy of being nominated as the first Jinshi, your talent is really amazing, there are few people in the whole world who are better than you." Emperor Jingming came from a praising voice, looking very satisfied.

I don't know why, Zhao Xuanqi has a weird feeling.

I always feel that the emperor's gaze is a little weird, not like the sight of a student, but full of special ambiguity.

Could it be that this emperor is as good as Longyang? Is this a fancy for yourself? Shouldn't it be a chrysanthemum?

Just when he was secretly suspicious.

Emperor Jingming suddenly looked at the woman next to him and asked in a soft voice, "Daughter, how do you feel?" ”

"My daughter thinks it's very good, full of economy, literary and taotao, all of them are real talents."

"I'm talking about looks, are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied, looks good, belongs to the upper middle level, a scholarly atmosphere, gentlemanly temperament, my daughter is very satisfied."

No

The emperor took the imperial examination in the imperial examination.

Halfway through the triumph, why did you suddenly talk to a woman?

Moreover, what are you satisfied with as a woman here?

Through the dialogue, Zhao Xuanqi learned that the person next to the emperor was the emperor's daughter.

You must know that in this kind of extremely formal scene, women are generally not allowed to appear in such places, and the palace examination should not be disturbed in the middle of the trial, which is all a violation of the rules.

Since ancient times, women have not participated in politics and have not entered the court.

Now, it's a real surprise when this happens.

In any dynasty, this kind of behavior is very explosive.

No matter how you look at this emperor, he doesn't look like a Ming monarch, but like a faint monarch who acts arbitrarily.

Zhao Xuanqi retracted the evaluation that Emperor Jingming was a good man.

Also, the person who can release the eunuchs to collect taxes and make the court bloated and the world chaotic, but at the same time can still grasp the military power, has an army that swears to serve to the death, and he doesn't look like a good old man.

"And satisfied? What does that mean when you're happy with me? Zhao Xuanqi raised his head in astonishment.

Then the curtain opened.

The figure of Emperor Jingming appeared, in his thirties, close to forty years old, majestic and majestic.

The woman next to her also showed her true face, graceful and beautiful.

Delicate cheeks, luxurious Luo skirt, delicate body, slim and elegant, full of wealth and luxury, the woman is like an immortal on the mountain, giving people a sense that can be seen from a distance and can not be blasphemed, and the extravagance is compelling.

The woman's eyes stared at Zhao Xuanqi aggressively, then stretched out her snow-white slender fingers, pointed directly at Zhao Xuanqi, and immediately said: "Father, my daughter has taken a fancy to him, only such an excellent man is worthy of being my husband!" ”

Above the court, the princess openly pointed to the new champion and directly selected the horse!

Emperor Jingming not only did not stop this absurd behavior, but nodded in agreement:

"I also think this person is very suitable for a colt, your name is Zhao Xuanqi, right? Will you be my daughter's colt? ”

An official next to him finally stood up and stopped: "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules, right?" Now it is the palace test, and Zhao Xuanqi is the first champion, and the champion comes to be a concubine, which is not in line with the rules. ”

"Hehe, the rules are dead, people are alive, and now the ranking has not been completely decided, if Zhao Xuanqi is willing, then he is the third-ranked Tanhualang this time, and he will become the husband of my daughter and my son-in-law!"

Accompanied by the words of Emperor Jingming.

All the opposing voices around him disappeared.

No more objections jumped out.

There is no need to jump out against it.

Emperor Jingming nodded with satisfaction, his eyes swept towards Zhao Xuanqi with endless majesty: "Zhao Xuanqi, I ask if you are willing?" ”

In this regard, above the court, everyone turned their heads to look at Zhao Xuanqi.

or schadenfreude, or envy and jealousy, or cheering, mixed with various emotions, fell on Zhao Xuanqi at the same moment.

In an instant, all eyes were on it.
