Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 264

Hearing Gao Ming call himself "a cat and a dog", the green-robed man immediately became angry.

"Scholars can be killed but not humiliated!"

As he spoke, he bumped headlong towards Gao Ming.

Hu Zi had already guarded against him, so just as he took a step, Hu Zi slapped him down on the ground, and then raised his fist to hit him.

Gao Ming knew Huzi's strength, he was lucky that the green-robed man was alive when he punched, so seeing this scene, Gao Ming quickly raised his hand.

"Tiger stop!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Huzi immediately lowered his fist, but one hand still pressed the green-robed man tightly to the ground, no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless.

"Let go of me, let me go, soldiers can be killed and cannot be humiliated!"

Seeing his angry look, Gao Ming immediately shook his head, then sighed.

"Hey, to be honest, I really didn't insult you. Judging by your age, you shouldn't be here as a student, right?"

Having said that, Gao Ming squatted down and patted his head lightly.

"Since we are not here to be students, we are naturally preparing to be teachers. Our Datang Royal Academy will be the cradle of talents in the next ten, even 20, and 30 years of Datang. The students here will become the mainstay of Datang in the future. In this way, those who want to be a gentleman here are like carp in a river, what ability do you have to take on this important task?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the man stopped struggling immediately, he gritted his teeth first, and then looked up at Gao Ming.

"I am the number one scholar in Chunwei in the 15th year of Zhenguan, does His Royal Highness think I am qualified?"

Hearing his words, Gao Ming frowned immediately.

"Since you are the champion, why are you here?"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, the green-robed man's eyes turned red.

"I failed the official examination, but it's not because I'm incapable, but because someone made things difficult for me!"

In Datang, there is a general examination every year. The main subjects are classics or current affairs, as well as writing articles, and the No.1 in the examination is called the number one scholar.

Although the number of scholars in Datang only accounted for one percent of the total population, or even less, it was not easy to pass Chunwei, and it was even more difficult to pass the No.1 exam.

And passing the Chunwei does not mean that you can become an official. If you want to be an official, candidates must pass the examination of the Ministry of Officials.

As for this part of candidates, those who are lucky can enter the officialdom, and those who are unlucky can only be other people's staff for the rest of their lives.

It is normal to pass the Chunwei but fail the official examination, but the champion of Chunwei did not pass, which made Gao Ming strange.

Looking at the unwilling look of the green robed man again, Gao Ming frowned again, then raised his chin towards Hu Zi.

"Huzi, let him go first."

"Yes!"

After Huzi let him go, Gao Ming immediately opened his mouth to him.

"You said that someone in the official department made things difficult for you, tell me, who is it?"

"This……"

Seeing him hesitate, a sneer appeared on Gao Ming's face.

"Hmph, can't tell? I'm afraid it's not because someone is embarrassing you, but you're lying. You are the champion of Chunwei. I think you are Chunwei's glutinous rice balls?"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, the people watching the excitement burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, Chunwei's glutinous rice balls!"

"It actually tricked His Highness the Crown Prince."

"That's right, that's right, it's still the top prize, I'm sorry!"

Hearing the noisy discussions around him, the man in green robe's face suddenly turned from white to red, then from red to blue, and his eyes turned red again.

"No! I didn't lie, I really offended someone!"

Seeing that he was still defending, before Gao Ming could speak this time, the people around showed contempt again.

"Still quibbling, His Royal Highness, put him in the prison!"

"You also said that you offended someone. If you have the ability to tell the person you offended!"

"It's just..."

In fact, Gao Ming believed the words of the green-robed man, because there is always a limit to lying.

If he said that he was a Jinshi in Chunwei, it might be difficult to find out. After all, there are quite a lot of Jinshi in Chunwei every year, but the number one scholar is different. There was no way he could have told such a stupid lie.

However, Gao Ming didn't speak when he saw the people around talking about it, but just looked at the green robed man with a smile, to see how he would respond.

Seeing the people around him pointing at him, the green-robed man's sweat dripped down drop by drop. After about a dozen breaths, he finally couldn't help it anymore, and yelled at Gao Ming .

"The person I offended was Cui Xi!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Ming immediately raised his hand, seeing Gao Ming's movements, the people around immediately fell silent.

At this moment, Gao Ming spoke to him again.

"You said the person you offended was called Cui Xi?"

Cui Xi is a brilliant person, because before he left Chang'an, he heard that Lu Zhi had a fight with someone in the court, and the other party's name was Cui Xi!

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately smacked his lips.

"Tsk tsk... I remember that Cui Xi seems to be the Minister of the Household Department, right? You are a small scholar, what right do you have to offend a high-ranking court official?"

Gao Ming's words were a bit impolite, so after hearing his words, the green-robed man was silent for a while, and then raised his head to look at Gao Ming.

"I am a scholar of Datang, not a scholar of the Cui family."

His voice was very low, but his eyes were firm, and his words revealed a sense of justice.

Gao Ming also understood the meaning of his words, which meant that he was unwilling to belong to the Cui family, so Gao Ming couldn't help clapping his hands and applauding.

"Okay! What a scholar from Tang Dynasty, what's your name?"

"My name is Du Yiyi!"

Hearing that he had signed up, Gao Ming nodded immediately, and then directly helped him up.

"Du Yiyi, regarding your identity, I will send someone to investigate. If what you said is true, then I will definitely use you again, but if you lied, then you are going to go outside the Great Wall to collect cow dung for the rest of your life! "

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Du Yiyi sneered.

"Hmph, I, Du Yiyi, can sit upright and stand upright. His Highness the Crown Prince can go and check it out. As for reuse, hmph, Du has little talent and learning, so he can't be reused by His Highness the Crown Prince!"

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands towards Gao Ming, then turned his head to the side, and never looked at Gao Ming again.

Seeing him like this, Gao Ming was immediately happy.

"Hehe, you're still in a temper, aren't you?"

"Humph!"

Since coming to Datang, it was the first time for Gao Ming to meet a scholar with such backbone in front of him, and he immediately became interested.

"Du Yiyi, the crown prince asks you, are you married?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Du Yiyi's face showed a hint of shock.

"Under the watchful eyes of everyone, is it possible that His Royal Highness is still planning to harm his family?"

Seeing his terrified look, Gao Ming immediately smiled.

"Looking at your expression, I knew that you must have married a wife, so let me ask you again, did you ever have a son?"

At first when Du Yiyi heard Gao Ming ask him if he could marry a wife, he thought that Gao Ming was going to harm his wife, but now when he heard Gao Ming ask him if he had a son, he suddenly felt a little dissatisfied with his head.

"So... so what if you have one, so what if you don't have one? Does Du have a son? What does His Royal Highness have to do with it?"

Seeing Du Yiyi's tugging look, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"It would be best if you had a son, so you would have no regrets, but if you don't have a son..."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming sighed, and then spread his hands towards Du Yiyi.

"Well...then I can only express my deep regret, because you may never have a son again."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Du Yiyi immediately showed surprise, and took two steps back.

"Could it be... Could it be that His Royal Highness wants to kill me?"

Seeing his frightened look, Gao Ming immediately shook his head.

"No, no, no, I'm not such a murderer. If you didn't commit the crime of beheading, then I won't kill you. I'm still very reasonable, but..."

But when Gao Ming said "but", Du Yiyi's eyes widened immediately, he knew that Gao Ming's next sentence was the key point.

Gao Ming was very satisfied with Du Yiyi's expression, the corners of his mouth immediately turned up, and then raised his eyebrows towards Du Yiyi.

"But you tried to bump into me just now. This is a serious crime of disrespect, so capital punishment is inevitable, and living crime is inevitable. Therefore, I plan to send you into the palace and execute castration on you!"

"hiss……"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Du Yiyi took a deep breath.

"Execution?"

"Correct!"

Seeing his shocked look, Gao Ming nodded immediately.

"The meaning of castration is to eunuch you. In ordinary people's terms, it means to castrate you. To put it a little more vulgarly, it means to cut off all the protruding flesh between your legs. After that, you can only squat when you pee. That's why I say I'm sorry!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming once again spread his hands towards Du Yiyi, looking very regretful.

Seeing this scene, Du Yiyi was immediately dumbfounded.

"No... no, it's not okay, I don't have a son yet, so I can't be jailed... no, I can't be a eunuch, you can't treat me like this..."

Seeing his terrified look, Gao Ming stopped talking to him, but smiled at the people around him.

"Fellows of Jinzhou City, he was going to bump into me just now, did you all see that?"

Hearing Gao Ming's question, the surrounding people immediately opened their mouths to respond.

"I saw!"

"His Royal Highness, I saw it too!"

"That's right, just now this person was planning to bump into His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Hearing everyone's words, Gao Ming immediately nodded with a smile.

"Well, it seems that the eyes of the masses are discerning, so let me ask you again, for his behavior like just now, do you think he should be eunuched or not?"

The people around had known for a long time that Gao Ming must have a follow-up, and now they heard his question, they immediately shouted.

"should!"

"Offending His Royal Highness, how can eunuch once be enough? You should eunuch him ten times, a hundred times!"

"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness, the villain's ancestors have sold pork for three generations. There is absolutely no problem with his knife skills. You can rest assured and leave it to the little one. The villain promises to cut his thing into pieces!"

Hearing this request, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahahahaha... This method is good, cut it into pieces, and I can count the growth rings!"

sliced?How many annual rings?
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Du Yiyi's face turned pale in an instant.
