Chapter 213: Words of Determination
Now that the three princes have arrived, Emperor Yi also promulgated the exam questions this time.
said that it was a test of knowledge, but in fact, Di Yi's purpose this time was not here - this can be seen from the questions he came up with - the first question was to let the three princes express their ambitions with an article, with a time limit of a quarter of an hour.
In this way, it is said that it is a test of knowledge, but if it is just to express one's aspirations, rather than writing poems, it has little to do with literary skills, that is, in this one, those who do not learn and have no skills will not suffer any loss.
However, having said that, if you have excellent literary skills and the article is beautifully written, then if the height of your ambition is about the same, you can naturally take advantage of it.
No, not long after Di Yi promulgated the exam questions, the eldest son Wei Zi Qi thought about it for a while, then picked up the pen, and wrote on the desk calmly, and although the second son Wei Zhongyan was not as quick as the eldest son Wei Zhongyan, but after thinking for a while, he also picked up the pen and wrote, only the young son Zi Shou, although Di Yi had already promulgated the exam questions half loud, but Zi Shou still sat in front of the desk fixedly, without the slightest intention of writing. It's just that although Zishou didn't have any clue how to put pen to paper, there was no worry on his face, but a calm and relaxed look - because he remembered that his teacher said that today has his own opportunity to perform.
It's just that although Zishou is calm and relaxed, whether it is Emperor Yi or the ministers who are watching, seeing that Wei Ziqi and Wei Zhongyan have already started writing for a while, but Zishou still hasn't written a word, although he is slightly surprised by Zishou's calm attitude, but even those ministers who support Zishou can't help but secretly shake their heads in their hearts - it seems that His Royal Highness Shouwang doesn't learn and has no skills, but it's not for fun, he can't even write such a simple article, but this is far worse than His Royal Highness Chang.
However, at this moment, in addition to Di Yi, there are also a number of ministers, but they are still looked at by one person, and that is Ye Xuan.
Although the legend of the Feiyun Pavilion joist changing the pillar was widely spread in later generations, Ye Xuan was afraid that something would happen and pit his apprentice, so although he was very dissatisfied with getting up so early, Ye Xuan secretly followed in the end. And after coming to Feiyun Pavilion, Ye Xuan saw Zi Shou's appearance of not writing a word but being calm and relaxed.
In this regard, Ye Xuan couldn't help but be slightly speechless - although I told you that you have the opportunity to perform today, but you won't even write this kind of simple article to show your ambition, right? Ye Xuan can be sure that if Zishou doesn't even do such a simple statement of ambition, then even if Zishou shows his amazing bravery through the joist and the pillar change in the future, then Di Yi and the ministers will only think that he is a reckless man with no ambition and no brute strength, and they will not rest assured that he will hand over the throne to him.
Shaking his head helplessly, Ye Xuan decided to help Zi suffer now.
Putting a small spell to cover his figure, Ye Xuan walked behind Zishou and said, "Zishou, don't panic, keep your original appearance and don't move, I'm here to help you." ”
Suddenly hearing Ye Xuan's voice behind him, Zi Shou was startled at first, and then heard Ye Xuan's words, and asked secretly in his heart: "Teacher, why are you here?"
Snorted angrily, Ye Xuan secretly said, "If I don't come, you don't plan to write this article?"
Hearing this, Zishou smiled embarrassedly: "Didn't the teacher say that as long as I act according to my heart today, I will naturally have a chance to perform? It's too troublesome to write an article or something, so Zishou thought about not writing at all, and waited for the opportunity that the teacher said." ”
patting his head with a headache, Ye Xuan suddenly realized that this apprentice of his own, how could he be lazier than himself?
Shaking his head slightly, Ye Xuan said, "You don't have to write anything else, but you still have to write the words of your will." However, since you don't want to write an article, then the teacher will teach you a few words, and you can write it. ”
Hearing Ye Xuan say this, Zishou hurriedly agreed.
So, in the Feiyun Pavilion, Emperor Yi and a group of ministers were surprised to find that seeing that the time for the exam was about to end, Zi Shou, who had been meditating, suddenly took up the pen and wrote it, and the pen was like a dragon, and it was done in one go.
Seeing this, Di Yi was surprised, but he couldn't help frowning - this inferior son can't see that time is running out. I didn't have any ink on my chest, but I was too embarrassed to write anything, so I scribbled something, right?
However, no matter what Di Yi thinks, according to what Ye Xuan said, Zi Shou is like a dragon, and after writing a few lines in one go, he still feels that the passion in his heart cannot be dissipated for a long time. Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Zishou secretly asked in his heart: "Teacher, did the teacher come up with these words?" It is so good, Zishou seems that even the words of the sages spoken by those old masters on weekdays are not as good as these words of the teacher! ”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan smiled secretly in his heart - you must know that these words are famous words of aspiration that have been recited through the ages in later generations, and the classics can be said to be known to everyone, if you can't cope with such a small exam, it will be a joke.
However, although he thought so in his heart, Ye Xuan still looked unfathomable on the surface, and said lightly: "Just a few words will make you excited like this, for the teacher to know things, there are many." ”
Hearing Ye Xuan say this, Zishou couldn't help but be more convinced of his cheap teacher.
And at this time, the moment has passed, but the time has come. On the other side, Wei Ziqi and Wei Zhongyan also stopped their pens and sat quietly behind the examination case waiting for Di Yi to review and accept.
However, this time, Di Yi didn't read Wei Ziqi's articles in order, because he was curious about what his always stubborn young son had written in the last bit of time.
Walking to the front of Zishou's examination case, Di Yi looked at this seemingly quiet son who was sitting quietly behind the examination case, and he knew this son's temperament lightly, and motioned to Uncle Zhong beside him: "Uncle Zhong, you help King Gu read a thought, and see what shocking words the prince of King Gu wrote." ”
Hearing this, Zhong Bo nodded respectfully, walked to the examination case, first nodded to Zishou, and then picked up the exam paper in front of Zishou.
However, after picking up the exam paper, Zhong Bo just glanced at the exam paper, and the whole person was stunned, and he forgot to read it out for a while.
And seeing Uncle Zhong like this, Di Yi snorted coldly, in his opinion, it must have been his inferior son who wrote some nonsense, which shocked Uncle Zhong.
Coughing unhappily, Di Yi said, "Read." ”
