Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 361 A new storm has appeared
Chao Shangzhi spent this precious day in this gentle township and vanity fair that he had never experienced in his previous life. When the moon was on the tip of the mountain and the cicadas were singing willows, Chao Shangzhi was let go by these dignitaries and returned home. to his temporary residence.

The shopkeeper of the inn also wanted to go up to enjoy the happiness of the number one scholar, but unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door, there were bursts of crying from the room of the new number one scholar who was trying his best to suppress but poured out of the door.

The shopkeeper stood at the door for a long time, but finally did not knock on the wooden door in front of him.

The person living here at this time may not be the number one scholar who overwhelmed Chang'an, but just a humble scholar who came to Chang'an from Lu County.

"Don't disturb the champion of this subject to rest."

The shopkeeper slowly backed away, dispersing the surrounding crowd.

"According to the imperial court announcement, Zhuangyuan Lang will go to the palace to face the saint tomorrow. If he disturbs Zhuangyuan Lang Qingmeng, be careful that he will sue the emperor for disturbing the people!"

Coaxed and deceived by the shopkeeper, the people who surrounded Chaoshang's gate finally dispersed.

"Xiao Er, go and deliver a bowl of hangover soup to Zhuangyuan Lang."

"okay!"

"return!"

The shopkeeper made calculations: "Go in half an hour later, and bring hot soup and towels by the way."

Xiao Er tilted his head: "Why?"

The shopkeeper patted him on the head again: "When you start reading and writing, you will know when you have the ambition to be an official."

Unexpectedly, Xiaoer smiled: "What books do you read? What characters do you recognize? I will follow the shopkeeper and serve you for the rest of my life. I don't want to be an official!"

"Stop talking!"

The shopkeeper laughed and cursed.

"Tomorrow, remember to wake Zhuang Yuanlang up early, so as not to miss his time to face the saint!"

"Remember! Remember! Don't worry, shopkeeper!"

The next day, one hundred senior high school students from the current department went to the palace to face the Holy Spirit together.

They entered the Tai Chi Hall sequentially from one to one hundred, in order.

It's just that Xue An, who was the last to enter the Taiji Hall, didn't know why the back of his head suddenly felt cold.

And this coolness seems to be emanating from the emperor?

impossible, impossible...

Xue An quickly comforted himself.

"How can the emperor have time to control my little shrimp, Brother Zhu, Brother Liu, Brother An, Brother Zong, which one of them is not better than me?"

"There are also the clansmen of the Xie clan of Chenjun and the Wang clan of Langya, and it is even said that Chao Shangzhi is a proud son of heaven who was suddenly killed from the bottom. How can the emperor have time to talk to him?"

illusion.

Must be an illusion!

Sure enough, the emperor encouraged everyone when he came up, and then praised the top three.

It's just that Liu Yizhen's next sentence made Xue An feel like he was in an ice cave.

"I have personally observed your "Strategies" test paper, and put forward many good strategies in it. You are really a pillar."

"It's not like some scholars' "Strategies" with wrong answers. I reluctantly gave it to a third person and scolded me all day for being short-sighted. I misread his masterpiece..."

Xue An understood...

Also wilted by the way...

What was just now was not an illusion!
The coolness was really brought by the emperor.

The emperor actually found out that he scolded the examiners!

And the Son of Heaven... is the one who graded the papers!

At this moment, Xue An even thought about where to bury himself.

But I am still young!
Isn't it a pity that this young and beautiful self died like this?
Why don't you resign and go back to be a farmer?
Oh, I don't seem to have an official status yet...

"..."

Liu Yizhen also saw Xue Andu who was jumping like countless fleas on his body at the moment, and unconsciously let out a chuckle in his heart.

This guy actually questioned the fairness of grading in public. If it weren't for his future achievements, Liu Yizhen would have thought of killing him.

Give him a warning now, lest he cause trouble with his own temper.

If it's not Huo Huoqi, don't do anything unruly.

After warning Xue Andu, Liu Yizhen began to reward these heavenly favored sons.

Only 100 people, not much money.

But this is just like the three of Chao Shangzhi receiving the award in front of Suzaku's gate yesterday, it is an excellent opportunity for publicity.

The real money is placed here, as long as you pass the exam, you will be able to reach the pinnacle of life, and find a ray of light in this era when the aristocratic family covers the sky with only one hand.

Textbooks have been distributed.

Teacher, there are academies everywhere.

The imperial examinations are waiting for them here.

After this imperial examination, a huge storm is bound to blow away the muddy old thatched hut.

And when the storm passed and the hut was gone, the long-awaited hope would naturally spread all over China again.

"The rest of the scholars can disperse and follow the imperial court's arrangement to appoint officials later."

"The number one scholar, Chao Shangzhi, stays behind."

After some scholars showed such expressions, Chao Shang stood alone in the middle of the empty Tai Chi Hall, waiting for the most powerful man in the world to decide his fate.

""The Three-Level Imperial Examination Policy of County, State and Road"!"

"How dare you!"

Liu Yizhen stared at Chao Shangzhi, unleashing coercion on this bold and humble scholar.

"Do you know, this state is still the state of the family?"

"Do you know, this county is still the county of the family?"

"Why do you dare to say that you want to implement imperial examinations in counties and prefectures? Just because you are a commoner?"

Liu Yizhen's question was particularly cruel, and people with a slightly weaker psychological quality would fall to the ground, not daring to look directly at Tianwei.

But Chao Shangzhi is obviously not in this list.

He straightened up, bowed with both hands in a draw, and shouted loudly: "I am a poor and lowly man. How dare you have such ambitions to promote the imperial examinations in prefectures and counties?"

"But fortunately, there are still people who support the minister!"

Liu Yizhen narrowed his eyes: "Who?"

Only now did Chao Shangzhi dare to look directly at Liu Yizhen: "It's Your Majesty!"

"It's His Majesty who puts more emphasis on poor families than nobles, and gave the lost minister a light!"

"It was His Majesty who moved to Chang'an and fell into Jiankang, and gave the minister back the sweet and sweet cheese!"

"It's His Majesty's selection of talents through the imperial examination, which gave me the road to Qingyun!"

"Therefore, I dare to offer advice to His Majesty, not because I am an arrogant person, but because of Your Majesty's holiness!"

After finishing speaking, a drop of sweat dripped from Chao Shangzhi's forehead.

It's not that I have a guilty conscience, it's just that I was so excited just now that my body couldn't help but get hot, which left beads of sweat.

After Liu Yizhen finished listening, there was no movement, and the atmosphere in the hall fell into an eerie silence.

After a while, Liu Yizhen's laughter came from above.

"A good one depends entirely on my holiness."

Liu Yizhen smiled happily.

Not only laughed at Chao Shangzhi's courage, but also laughed at the other party's flattery.

Being an official and doing things has never been based on knowledge.

But courage, wrist.

Courage, Chao Shangzhi proved that he has.

As for the wrists...

Being able to flatter means that the other party is not a pedantic person, and understands the rules that should not exist in the political field but are everywhere.

With these two points, Chao Shangzhi is already qualified.

With the qualifications to become Liu Yizhen's knife!
