Chapter 624 Handpicked No. 2 Scholar ([-])
Han Huang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he slowly raised his head but his gaze stayed on the dragon case.

"Chen Lingxuan comes out!"

Hearing the emperor's roll call, Chen Lingxuan hurriedly knelt forward and said, "The student is here!"

"Recite a paragraph of your article and listen to it."

"Observe the order!" Chen Lingxuan chanted loudly, and everyone in the hall nodded their heads in admiration.

The article he wrote is based on the first thoughts of the sages and sages, and he also analyzes the current situation of various classes of scholars, farmers, businessmen and businessmen in today's dynasty, and proposes to promote the development of small workshops and improve the living standards of farmers on the basis of reducing agricultural taxes.Only when people have food to eat, houses to live in, and money to see a doctor and provide for the elderly, can the whole society be stable.Encourage the expansion of medium and large merchants on a stable basis, and the imperial court provides various preferential policies accordingly.Allow some people to get rich first, drive the economy of the entire celestial dynasty, and finally achieve the prosperity of the whole people and realize Datong.

The emperor had checked the papers in advance, and when he heard that he recited them fluently and was impassioned at the key points, he couldn't help but secretly nodded.After hearing this, all the ministers could not help but nod their heads in agreement, lamenting that Mr. Chen Ge is worthy of being a generation of veterans, and he has given birth to good children and grandchildren.

The emperor asked a few more questions about his article, and he talked about dealing with freedom.The emperor had a smile on his face when he heard the words, and Zixu standing beside him couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

The distance between eyebrows and eyes is slightly narrow, the eyes are fixed on one point and do not like to move, and the voice is neither soft nor heavy, fast and slow, which shows that this person has tenacity, perseverance and orderliness in doing things, and he is talented and can take on great responsibilities.But seeing him get ahead of everything, Zixu felt that he was too eager for quick success and too competitive.

The emperor talked with him for a long while, and ordered him to get up and stand aside, as if he was very satisfied with his performance.

Chen Lingxuan Xie En stood aside, joy flashed in his downcast eyes, and his drooping shoulders reflected his relaxed mood.

"I heard that there is a Dian Kui Building in Beijing. A written test will be held before each big exam, attracting many candidates to participate. This year's Dian Kui Lou competition, I heard that the winner is Han Huang, but this Han Huang in the top three?" The emperor suddenly Mentioning Diankuilou made Han Huang feel even more uncertain.

After listening for a long time, he had already recognized the voice of the emperor, it was the Second Lord Yan whom he met in Diankui Tower that day.Now hearing the emperor mention Diankui Tower again, Han Huang hurriedly took a step forward.

"The students were lucky enough to win, it was all a coincidence."

Seeing that he had completely lost the high spirits that he had in Diankui Tower, the emperor couldn't help frowning.

"I heard that although Diankuilou is a small tea house, many great Confucian scholars are invited to be judges for each competition. How can you allow you to take advantage of it?"

These words sounded unpleasant, but there was some anger in them.Han Huangwen narrowed his eyes and replied unhurriedly: "The emperor doesn't know something. Among the judges is Mr. Zhang Daxian, who has been kind to the students. The students know a little bit about Mr. Zhang Daxian's style, so they have something in their essays. Offset. In addition, the dean of the No. [-] Academy in the World pays homage to Buddha all the year round, so the students infiltrate the paintings with a sense of Zen. Isn’t it a coincidence that this caters to the taste of the judges?”

"Oh? So you are a person who likes to be opportunistic in doing things?" The emperor's eyes became sharper, and he asked with a sullen face.

Seeing this, the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to figure out what the emperor was thinking, but they were all sweating for Han Huang.As a courtier, the most important thing is loyalty. How can a person who likes to speculate be reused?It seems that Han Huang has some talent, but after all, he came from a small family and lacks some of the demeanor of a big family. His words and deeds are not as stable as Chen Lingxuan's.

"Students don't like speculation, but they think that some things can be tricky. There are obvious shortcuts, why bother people and waste money?" Han Huang replied neither humble nor overbearing, "As long as this coincidence is not wicked and not ashamed of the conscience of heaven and earth, so why not?"

"Being good at trickery and daring to be outspoken is something to be desired." The emperor's face softened a bit upon hearing this.

Han Huang hurriedly lowered his head with a humble look, which was quite different from what he said.The emperor has seen his wanton behavior in Diankui Tower, so naturally he will not regard him as a well-behaved and honest person.It's just that he feels that his age and appearance don't match his way of dealing with the world, and the emperor is a little more curious about him.

"I heard that you took the exam and wanted to win the first prize in order to marry Mrs. Ma's daughter. Is there such a thing?" The emperor didn't ask Han Huang about the article, and he always asked about such things, which made everyone feel puzzled.

Lord Ma stood among the officials, anxious for Han Huang.He has read the essays of Han Huang's college entrance examination carefully, and his ideas are more novel than the other two.Everyone saw Chen Lingxuan's performance just now, and he was very talented, obviously his performance was very outstanding.If Han Huang couldn't satisfy the emperor, the number one scholar who won half of his hand would probably fly away.

"The rumors are true." As soon as he said this, there was a slight hiss, and the face of the emperor looked ugly when he saw the emperor again.

Master Ma wished he could step forward and slap him in the face, even if it was the truth, he shouldn't be so blunt.Where is this place, who is in front of him?Could it be that this young man has ruined his brain by studying?It was really aggrieved for a good girl to marry him, no wonder the wife refused to agree to it at first.

"Presumptuous, what do you think of the imperial court's big test for talent selection? Is it your bargaining chip to show off and marry a beauty?" The emperor patted the dragon case, and Chen Lingxuan next to him was shocked, and Kong Desheng, who had been kneeling all the time, had big eyeballs. Instead, it turned around.

"Students don't dare!" Han Huang hurriedly leaned down and prostrated himself on the ground, looking terrified.

"Raise your head and answer." The emperor ordered majestically, "If you can give a reasonable explanation, it's fine, otherwise, you will be removed from the top three, and the marriage with the Ma family will be thrown away!"

Hearing this, Han Huang's eyes flashed, and then he replied calmly: "Thank you, the emperor, for giving the students the opportunity to defend themselves. It is said among the people that the emperor is a sage monarch, and now he sees it better than anything. But every tyrant and fool has never They are all blind and deaf, and they can never hear voices that are contrary to their own opinions; but the sage king is like the sea that can accommodate hundreds of rivers, the truth can stand scrutiny and repeated tests, and is never afraid of disputes. As the saying goes "It's better to be able to listen than to be able to speak, no matter how clever your words are, it can't be worth the word of reason. If a student speaks rudely, the emperor should not blame him, if the words are wrong, let the emperor punish him."

Qian Chuanwan wears flattery but does not wear it, the emperor's expression eased a little after hearing his words.Master Ma's heart was in his throat, he glanced at Han Huang, and thought to himself: It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!Is the emperor someone who can be dismissed with a few nice words of flattery?It's okay if the flattery is right, a slap on the hoof can kill him.

It doesn't matter if he's dead, poor my stubborn girl.The two of them made an engagement before, exchanged Geng Tie and asked their ancestors for instructions, so it was settled.If this marriage goes wrong, it will hurt Ruru's reputation.Besides, Ruru only has this brat in her heart, and she is looking for life and death for him.If he really wanted to divorce, he was worried that Ruru would be in a dead end.
