The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 205 Double champion

When the three of Zhao Lu were dragged out, no one complained of injustice. It is estimated that the last bit of dignity was used here.

Even when Zhao Lu was dragged out, there was a look of relief on his face.

Xiao Yu watched silently, and waited for the people to walk away, then looked down at the students kneeling on the ground, and said softly: "Everyone, get up, this case is under the supervision of the king, naturally it will not be so easy Forgive me, from the murder case in the dark alley to the extermination case in Nanjia Village and then to the case of Huishi Baobao, the involvement is very extensive, and it will not be resolved overnight, so please stay calm and wait for the good news."

"Thank you, Lord!"

The students looked at Jun Rong after saluting, Jun Rong nodded: "Stay flat, today's palace examination will be held as usual, and will be assessed by Dean Lan Yan of Datong Academy, Prime Minister, Minister of Rites and Zhen, and the results will be announced in a short while, and the world will be announced .”

"Yes."

The students got up and returned to their original seats, and Xiao Yu also sat back. The dean looked at Zhen Qingping who was still standing there and sighed, and stretched out his hand to give him a hand, "Qingping, sit down."

Only now did Zhen Qingping come back to his senses, still in a daze, forced the corners of his mouth to twitch: "Okay."

The farce ended, the main drama began, and everything was back on track.

It is said that Jun Rong and the dean reviewed the test papers together, but in fact Jun Rong can't do much. Although he has studied hard recently and made great progress in his poems, books, strategies and theories, he is still inferior to these students who have studied hard for many years Far, so he at most chooses a side to support when there are differences of opinion among several people.

There were not many test papers, so I finished reading them quickly, and finally decided on the top three. Jun Rong announced the ranking in public, and finally read the top three: "No.

The three came out and knelt down, Xiao Yu glanced at them, they were all handsome, and they were not very old, the oldest was the second place, about 24, and the remaining two were not weak enough.

The other two were about to thank you, but Wei Chengqiu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Cao Min can't afford the title of champion. According to Zhao Lu, Nan Qingshan is talented and ambitious, so he is willing to die. One must be Nanqingshan, I hope Your Majesty will help me!"

"This……"

The others looked at each other. On the one hand, they thought what he said was reasonable, but on the other hand, they thought it was absurd. How could a dead man be the champion?
Upon hearing this, Zhen Qingping's grateful eyes fell on Wei Chengqiu, "Qingshan, if you are alive in heaven, you should be very relieved to see this scene, right?"

Wei Chengqiu looked at Jun Rong firmly, and kowtowed devoutly, "I hope Your Majesty will do it!"

Jun Rong looked at Xiao Yu hesitantly, and Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows: "Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for the deceased to be the number one scholar. Are you trying to make an exception for Your Majesty?"

Wei Chengqiu straightened his body, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Rules are dead, but people are alive. There is no precedent, so how can we make an exception? This matter will be spread, and students from all over the world must also beg for it!"

His face is slightly immature, but his back is straight, his eyes are clear, he is open-minded and principled.

Xiao Yu nodded with satisfaction in his heart. This person can think about it more in the future. If his character is good, it is not a bad idea to entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

"well said."

Xiao Yu praised: "But if you make him the number one scholar, there will be one more person in the first place, or you will be squeezed out at the bottom, or you will be replaced, are you willing?"

Wei Chengqiu glanced at Xiao Yu, "This is the wish of the grassroots, and has nothing to do with others. If it is to be cancelled, it should also be the cancellation of the ranking of the grassroots. Since the grassroots have the talent of the number one, why not be afraid of three years of training?"

"it is good!"

The dean couldn't help applauding him when he heard it, and the Minister of Rites touched his beard, "Although this son is young, he has a big heart and courage!"

Jun Rong was agitated by what he said, and a little bit of pride was born after being infected.

"Since that's the case—"

Xiao Yu continued, "If that's the case, then you will be fulfilled. Since the founding of the country, there have never been two champions in one year, but--this is different from the past. There is Nanqingshan in the front and Wei Chengqiu in the back. What's the point of being the number one scholar? Even if the history books will be passed down in the future, this matter will be regarded as a good story through the ages!"

She turned around, cupped her hands and said, "I think it's better to make Nan Qingshan the first champion, which means "precedent", and Wei Chengqiu to be the last champion, which means "successor".

"Okay, let's do as the Taifu said, come and draw up an order - let's set a precedent for today's big work!"

"In addition, Wei Chen has another proposal."

"Teacher please tell me."

Jun Rong looked at Xiao Yu expectantly, and heard her say: "I feel that Nan Qingshan's move not only avenged himself and the villagers, but also helped the court find out moths. This chopping down will not only clean up the court and the people, but also serve the people of the court. The children of the world's humble families opened the way, and I personally think that such a feat should be erected as a commemoration, and it can also alert future generations."

"The old man thinks the prince's proposal is very good!"

The dean was the first to stand up and agree, "It doesn't cost much to erect a monument, but it is very meaningful and feasible."

"It's feasible, but it's a question of where to put the stele after it's done." The prime minister frowned and thought: "We have to find a good place."

"I have thought about this point, why not stand at the head of the Seven-Arch Bridge in the Inland River. The Inland River is always lively, and the Seven-Arch Bridge is the only way to pass. Standing there is not in the way and is conspicuous."

Jun Rong's eyes lit up: "That's very good, let the Taifu and the Minister of Rites discuss this matter together."

After being named, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites stood up and cupped his hands, saying: "My minister obeys the order."

"Okay, you all step down, after the rankings are released, all arrangements for you will come down."

"Yes."

The murder case in the dark alley and the imperial examination ended on the same day. At the same time, the Royal Army had surrounded the Yongping Hou Mansion, arrested Zhao Jinghuai and others, and turned the Zhao family upside down. The people didn't know, so they came to watch .

Zhao Jinghuai yelled that he was wronged, but was gagged and tied up.

The house of Wen Jizhen, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was also ransacked. The whole family was put in prison. The people were panicked and didn't know what happened.

Fortunately, Jun Rong quickly made an order, briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, and immediately cursed, pointing the finger at Zhao and Wen.

However, the Rongguo Mansion seemed to have nothing to do, and no one went to them at all.

After Rong Guogong found out about this incident, he was anxious and wandered around in the yard, trying to contact other people and find a way to find out, but nothing came of it.

It turned out that Xuan Yiwei had been ambushing around Rongguo Duke's mansion for a long time, went out one by one and knocked the other unconscious, and no one was released.

In the dead of night, there was a sudden commotion in the palace. The Imperial Forest Army trotted all the way with torches in their hands, and surrounded the Rongguo Mansion. The leader was Shang Meng, the Commander of the Imperial Forest Army. The light of the torches on the left and right looked at the magnificent vermilion gate, and shook his head with emotion, the rise and fall of a century is just a thought.

After tonight, the capital will no longer be balanced by the four princes.

Daqian, the sky has changed.
