The prince is sick: it is too enchanting to marry the princess

Chapter 796

A few days later, news came back from the tribe that the patriarch Dongling was in the palace of Weiguo right now.Moreover, there were many guards around him, so he couldn't get close to the patriarch, but judging from the current situation, the patriarch should be safe for the time being.

After receiving the news, Bai Ranqing and Bai Xing felt much more relieved, at least confirming Dong Ling's safety.

Bai Ranqing murmured: "But I don't understand, it shouldn't be difficult to leave the palace with grandpa's martial arts. How could he be trapped all the time?"

Nangong Qi replied: "Does it need to be said? Either he has a reason to stay, or Sima Jingxuan used human puppets to forcibly trap him."

"Human puppet?" Bai Ranqing has read all the books in the clan, and knows a little about human puppets, "What do you mean by that? Could it be that Sima Jingxuan really made it?"

Nangong Qi nodded lightly: "Qingqing, do you still remember that in Yaoyue City, Yan Luodian took the people in the city to test the medicine? At that time, Sima Jingxuan was preparing for the development of human gu puppets."

"With the medicinal effect of the beauty's bones and the Gu worms fed with human blood, the human Gu puppets created in this way will be even more bloodthirsty and brutal." Bai Ranqing couldn't help being startled, "Is he trying to create a new immortal? army?"

Bai Xing responded: "Looking at his current appearance, I'm afraid it means what you think. I want to create an invincible army."

Sima Jingxuan's ambition has never been limited to defending the country, and greed and desire will always expand infinitely.

Bai Ranqing's face was covered with a worried look: "As you said, isn't Grandpa in danger at any time with him?"

Nangong Qi pressed her hand, and said softly: "Grandpa is in his hands now, we can't force someone to break in, right? All we can do now is stand still and wait for him to come to us on his own initiative."

Bai Xing also said: "That's right. Didn't the clan members who inquired about the news also say that the clan leader is safe now, so don't worry about it."

Bai Ranqing murmured in a low voice: "I hope grandpa can get away as soon as possible."

It was the first time for Dayan to welcome women to participate in the imperial examination. The officials of the imperial court were very cautious about it. It was not because they were so active. The main reason was that Nan Gongyan and Ji Qingxue paid special attention to it. The queen blamed it, but they couldn't bear the responsibility.

Although they attached great importance to this scientific examination, they still had a disdainful attitude towards the matter of women participating in the scientific examination and becoming officials in the court.

In the final analysis, they still think that it is impossible for women to be compared with men.

Until the results of the imperial examinations were released, it was a woman who won the first prize this time.

As soon as this happened, everyone was in an uproar.

Some mocked, some doubted, and some unwilling students went to make a fuss, questioning the fairness of the exam.

They studied hard for ten years, and they lost to a woman. Who would believe it?
But that's what happened.

——In terms of knowledge, they are indeed not as good as that woman.

In the end, all those troublemakers were forked out by the soldiers.

Nan Gongyan was also very surprised. It seemed that Dayan really had a lot of talents. He couldn't wait to summon the top three in this imperial examination.

He wanted to see who the woman who could take the top spot in one fell swoop was.

Golden Palace.

Su Zhixiao was dressed in a bright red robe, and he was particularly blinking among a group of men.

The number one scholar's red robe has always only been men's clothing, besides, no one had thought before that the number one scholar would be a woman, so Su knew that the clothes on her body were hurriedly made for her overnight by the secretary in the palace.

"Su Zhixiao pays homage to the emperor!"

Nan Gongyan sat on the dragon chair and said in a deep voice, "Raise your head!"

Su Zhixiao raised her head according to her words, she looked very young, no more than twenty at most.

Nan Gongyan asked, "How old are you?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the little girl is nineteen this year."

nineteen?All the officials couldn't help whispering, he has such a talent at only nineteen, which shows that his future is boundless!

Nan Gongyan narrowed his eyes slightly: "I have already read your article on the strategy of governing the world, and it is well written."

Su Mian cupped her hands modestly, and said, "It's the emperor's absurd praise."

"Su Zhixiao, I ask you what is a king and what is a people?"

Su Zhixiao replied without hesitation: "The king is a boat, the people are water, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it."

Nan Gongyan asked again: "In your strategy of governing the world, it is said that benevolent government and tyrannical government should coexist. What is benevolence and what is cruelty?"

"Since ancient times, bloody killings have been unavoidable in the hands of those in power. For example, Emperor Huijing, the founding emperor of Dayan, ordered the killing of tens of thousands of remnants of the previous dynasty for the stability of Dayan. The people all said that he was cruel and cruel. But he reigned for 40 years In the year of [-], he worked hard to govern, and the country was peaceful and the people were safe, so he is also a benevolent king.”

Having said that, Su Zhixiao paused for a moment, sneaking a sneak peek at Nan Gongyan from the corner of his eyes from time to time, wanting to see his reaction.

After all, he is the emperor, and if he is not careful, he can drag himself out, so she should be more cautious.

Nan Gongyan smiled: "In your opinion, is Emperor Huijing a success or a failure in his life?"

Su Zhixiao thought for a while, and then replied: "The little girl thinks that Emperor Hui Jing has failed."

When the voice fell to the ground, everyone present could not help but gasp.

This new top scholar really dared to speak out, he dared to talk about the Emperor Taizu in public, and he dared to speak such nonsense. After all, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he dares to say anything.

Nan Gongyan was neither angry nor annoyed, he just raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Why?"

"Emperor Huijing's method of seizing the throne was too bloody. In order to stabilize the overall situation, he killed many people one after another. It was cruel. But when he was in power, he governed with benevolence and created the rare prosperity of Dayan. It is for benevolence."

"And the little girl said that Emperor Huijing failed because he was too suspicious in his later years. He trusted eunuchs and killed powerful officials, which caused the entire court to be in turmoil. If Emperor Gao Xian hadn't come out as a prince to stabilize the court in time, it would have been I am afraid that Dayan will no longer exist long ago. The failure of Emperor Huijing is that he lost his benevolence."

"If you are too benevolent, the courtiers will think that the monarch is weak and can be bullied, and the entire government and the public will become a mess. How can the mob do great things? Therefore, the little girl believes that governing the government should be done with kindness and power. There must be holy grace and greatness. There should also be a Thunder King. And the little girl thinks that there is another very important point, that is, no matter how the world changes, one should not lose one's original intention and benevolence of being a king."

Su Zhixiao was like a cannonball, he didn't take a breath when he said something, and the rest of the people who said it were dumbfounded and stunned.

Nangongyan gradually had a hint of appreciation in his eyes, so he asked, "Then do you think I am a benevolent king or a tyrant?"
