Strategy to develop champions

Chapter 520

The two changed from the serious topic of cheating in the imperial examination to discussing their own daughter-in-law, and the time passed quickly, and they arrived at the gate of the palace in a short time.

The guard at the gate saw that it was the Du family's carriage, checked the people inside, and let them in.Song Mingxuan glanced outside through the gap raised by the curtain of the carriage. The towering and majestic palaces are continuous, and the wide and lengthy palace roads are connected to the palaces like Qionglou Yuyu. The people who live here are the emperors of Dayong. .

When Song Mingxuan thought of this, he felt inexplicable awe, and even his expression became a little dignified.When the carriage arrived at the second gate, it was not allowed to go inside. Imperial Physician Du got off the carriage, cupped his hands to Song Mingxuan and said, "Song Juren, if you enter from here, you will be the emperor's imperial study, and this father-in-law will lead it." After you go out, I have to go back to the imperial hospital, and my coachman Chunsheng will wait for you at the gate of the palace in a while, and the rest of the road depends on how you go."

Although Song Mingxuan said his mind was calm, he hadn't seen the big world after all, and his palms were slightly sweaty at this time. Hearing what Imperial Physician Du said, he just cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you, Imperial Physician Du, for your help. My late life is unforgettable. Please, Imperial Physician Du."

After Imperial Physician Du left, the eunuch who came to welcome Song Mingxuan in only looked Song Mingxuan up and down, and saw that the robe he was wearing was still short, so he secretly smiled and said in a male duck voice: "Young master , please come inside, Lord Long Live is still waiting for you in the Imperial Study Room!"

Song Mingxuan saw that the eunuch looked very feminine, and his tone of voice turned a few turns, but after looking at the clothes on his body just now, the smile was suppressed for a moment, and he didn't look like an unreasonable person. He only arched his hands towards him, and said cautiously: "Eunuch Lao will lead the way."

The eunuch only smiled slightly, then turned around and led the way, bypassing the chashou corridor all the way, stopped at the entrance of the main hall, turned around and said: "You wait, let's go in and talk to you."

Song Mingxuan nodded in agreement, watched the eunuch go in, and vaguely heard another calm and deep voice from inside, not angry and pretentious: "The Juren surnamed Song is outside now, you can do it yourself, I am originally eager to love talents, but I don’t want you to wait so low, now I will give you a chance to have a fair competition with him.”

Song Mingxuan hadn't had time to hear what the man who was kneeling on the ground said, when he heard the emperor say loudly: "Please come in, Song Mingxuan."

After a while, the old eunuch came to talk and led Song Mingxuan in.Song Mingxuan only lowered his head, and followed behind the old eunuch until the old eunuch stopped, then he knelt down and said: "Jiawu Year Nian Xie Yuan Song Mingxuan kowtowed to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Song Mingxuan bowed and knelt down, his voice was resonant, although there was a slightly trembling ending, but his whole body exuded the integrity of a scholar who was neither humble nor overbearing except for his elegance.

After listening to Song Mingxuan's self-report, the emperor frowned, reached out and patted his forehead and said, "Jiawu Township Examination's Jie Yuan, why does it sound familiar?"

Before the emperor finished speaking, the other old eunuch who had been waiting in the imperial study room with graying eyebrows only smiled and said, "Did the emperor forget? You hand-picked Jieyuan in Jiawu. At that time, Mr. Tang said , There are a few people's articles, and he can't judge them."

Hearing the words, the emperor just patted the table, and suddenly thought of it and said: "Mount Tai does not allow soil, so it can become big. Rivers and seas do not choose small streams, so they can be deep. The court does not leave good words, so it can be peaceful." Qibang..." The emperor recited these few words in one breath, and looked at Song Mingxuan with some surprise and sharp eyes.

Song Mingxuan's eyes turned slightly, he only raised his head, met the emperor's gaze, and said: "The Son of Heaven does not rely on his family to be dominant, so he can follow the hearts of the people, help the Qing Dynasty, accept the poor, and only use talents. Therefore, it is not for the sake of reducing the noble, Only for Naxian."

"You really wrote this?" The emperor looked at Song Mingxuan with a softer gaze, and with a slight smile on his face, he said, "Song Aiqing is flat. It seems that Doctor Du said that you have an incomparable talent." , It’s true, I originally thought that you were just a brat, although I know you do have some insight.”

After the emperor finished saying this, he only frowned, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "So, the article about raising soldiers with taxes in the sea is really written by you."

Song Mingxuan got up and lowered his head a little. Seeing what the emperor said, he just said: "That article was written by Wansheng at home on the 29th day of the first lunar month. Guo Jinshi was also present at that time. Guo Jinshi liked Wansheng's articles very much, so I took it to study for two days, and didn’t return it until the third day of the second lunar month. The late students didn’t know what was wrong with this topic...So, I took it to study with Mr. Liu’s brother-in-law of Imperial Physician Du.”
