Chapter 288 The Golden Palace Exam (1)(1/2)
One of the two was talking and the other was fascinated by hearing. Before they knew it, a pot of tea was in their stomachs. They felt hungry, so they called tea and pastries in. They chatted while eating, but they were so angry that they chatted until dark. Outside, Liu Jin had no choice but to come in and laughed,
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. If Wei Baihu doesn't go out again, the palace gate will be locked!"
Zhu Houzhao waved her hand indifferently,
"There is no need to leave the palace. I will sleep with my brothers Wei today!"
Liu Jin was shocked and said with a smile,
"Your Majesty, this...is...but there is no such rule!"
Look at this past and present, the one who is a minister who can sleep with the king is a serious crime to deceive the king!
Zhu Houzhao glared at him,
"I am the emperor, I have the final say!"
Liu Jin said embarrassedly,
"Your Majesty...this...this..."
Wei Wu waved his hand and stood up to salute Zhu Houzhao.
"Your Majesty, I'd better take my leave. It's not a habit to live in this palace... I'll ask my brothers to go out for a drink while it's still early!"
Zhu Houzhao was furious when she heard this, pointed at him and scolded,
"You go! You go! Don't poke my heart here!"
Even though I know that I can't leave the palace, I still want to deliberately say that I'm angry!
Humph! Is this still a good brother?
Wei Wu ignored Zhu Houzhao's eyebrows and glared, and after giving the ceremony, he left with pride.
Zhu Houzhao angrily went back to look for Xia Xiaomei. Seeing this, Xia Xiaomei asked,
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Zhu Houzhao said in anger,
"That boy Wei Wu is back..."
But he told Wei Wu about his trip to Nanchang again to Xia Xiaomei. Xia Xiaomei sighed when she heard this, held her cheek with her hands, and supported her elbow on the small table in front of her and said to Zhu Houzhao.
"Your Majesty, I am not afraid of you being angry. I am also very envious, jealous and hate him. I don't want to be locked in this palace, and I also want to walk around and see the outside world!"
Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed when she heard this and pulled Xia Xiaomei's hand,
"Little sister, you are indeed my confidant. I also want to go around the world with my sword. Either be a knight in the world, kill one person with ten steps, and stay a thousand miles away. Or be the general who is in a straight sword. Thousands of troops take people's heads like taking objects from their pockets. Wouldn't that be happy!"
Anyway, everything is better than being an emperor in this palace!
Every day, I was locked up in this huge and cold palace and saw a bunch of hypocrites full of loyalty and patriotic words. Seeing them being hypocritical in front of me, the thieves and prostitutes behind me were really boring!
Zhu Houzhao hugged his wife and said,
"Little sister, don't worry! I will be able to take you all over the country in the future, so let's enjoy the fun!"
Zhu Houzhao's imagination is still dreaming, but this is something that should be done!
The Jinshi in this world is freshly released, and it is the turn of the palace examination below. Zhu Houzhao has to set the questions himself and also go to the Jin Palace to preside over the palace examination. He sat behind the imperial case early that morning and thought about the topic, remembering the conversation with the queen yesterday, but suddenly he thought about it and wrote,
"What is a hero?"
But after only three words, Qiu Ju, who was serving the side, was stunned and asked after a while.
"Your Majesty... Is it the imperial examination that will be done by the Jinshi today?"
Zhu Houzhao nodded seriously and said,
“That’s right!”
Qiu Ju said in a daze,
"This...this is probably inappropriate!"
Zhu Houzhao waved her hand and said,
"What's wrong? Didn't I ask the question? I just want to ask these well-educated people who are heroes?"
Let’s take a look at how these people view the heroes who robbed the rich and helped the poor?
"This... Your Majesty, these things are something that you need to ask, and you don't have to ask when you are picking up the scholars in the Golden Palace, right?"
Qiu Ju complained secretly in his heart,
"Your Majesty has been honest for a few days now, why are you making trouble again?"
Since His Majesty’s wedding, he has been very regular for several days. He has been attending court seriously every day, but if he doesn’t understand, he asks the parents’ advice. His daily homework is also completed on time. Several gentlemen also frequently praise His Majesty for being a wise ruler. How come... How come he hasn’t been quiet for a few days before he remembered this again?
This is a national talent discussion ceremony, so you must not do it randomly!
In history, the country has always been asking about the way to govern the country and build a country. No matter how bad it is, it has to ask how to educate the people to govern the local area, or ask about the national policy of defending the strong enemy outside and living the economy and trade inside. However, no emperor has ever asked about this?
In his opinion, those heroes, who are not righteous and righteous, are those who are unfair, are clearly gangsters who are always priceless and do not do serious business, and make trouble everywhere with a knife and a sword. What are the things that people like to ask about?
Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't have to care about what he was thinking, but just glared impatiently,
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Qiu Ju had no choice but to hold the palace examination questions written by the emperor's emperor in both hands, and followed Zhu Houzhao to the golden hall. At this time, the eight examiners were waiting in Baohe Hall with the exam-taking Jinshi. Seeing His Majesty in person, they worshiped according to the ceremony. This was also the first time Zhu Houzhao had been kneeling on the ground. When he saw the man kneeling on the ground, he was very excited. He also had to maintain the emperor's majesty on the throne. He sat on the throne and watched Qiu Ju hand the question in his hand to the man who was the leader to copy it on the spot. However, the transcribed official opened the question and was stunned.
"This...this is it?"
Today, the Jin Palace masters all served as the reviewers. They were standing in the hall and looking around. The transcriptionist raised his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and whispered to a small eunuch next to him.
"Please invite Mr. Xie, Mr. Liu and Mr. Li!"
The little eunuch didn't understand why, but he knew that there must be something big about him to invite all three cabinet masters!
He hurriedly retreated quietly and invited three pavilions. When the three pavilions came to see the Emperor Majesty’s question, they couldn’t help but twitched. Liu Jian asked,
"This... Is Your Majesty reading a miscellaneous book these days?"
Could it be that I read the Legend of the Golf, or the Records of the Legend of the World, how can I get a good question?
"This... doesn't seem to be there!"
The three of them looked at each other, Xie, Liu and the other two were so angry that they blew their beards and stared at each other,
"Your Majesty is making that person crazy?"
"It's been a while ago. Where did you learn some messy things?"
This... this is the national talent ceremony, not the story of the seven heroes and five righteous people in the roadside tea shop. How could you use this to ask the scholars in the palace!
They learned from Confucius, Mencius, Laozi and Zhuangzi, various schools of thought, but they didn’t learn to kill people with swords, so why are they still... so why are they heroes?
I think what is blind!
Don't look at where this is!
The three of them were angry and confused,
"What martial arts script has Your Majesty read before you want to come out?"
As soon as the three pavilions' eyes met, Li Dongyang's way,
"You two should ask His Majesty for another proposition when I go!"
These two people are not young and even more energetic. Seeing that they are wearing beards and staring at him like this, if they go to see His Majesty, a bad tone will turn into a questioning...
Now Your Majesty is already married and adult... If you are on this Golden Palace, you will not be able to come to Taiwan... There are still people in the hall watching you!
Li Dongyang immediately hurriedly put the test questions in a book and said to the little eunuch beside him,
"I would like to ask my father-in-law to report it to His Majesty, saying that I have important matters!"
The little eunuch responded,
"Hello, wait!"
Zhu Houzhao was stretching her neck and looking at the man from front to back!
Among the candidates in this palace, there are old and young people, some of whom are young and look young but they are still full of beards and cheeks. Without raising their heads, they can see horizontal lines when they move their foreheads!
How old is this still here to take the imperial examination?
Zhu Houzhao really wanted these people to look up and see what they were born like. Unfortunately, he was the emperor and no one dared to face Jun Yan. He was not good enough to ask others to raise their heads, so he had to sit on him and guess the age of the head!
At this moment, the little eunuch came over and whispered a few words in Qiu Ju's ear. Qiu Ju sighed in his heart.
"I just said it! Most of the time I can't pass the pavilion...but... these pavilion is too much of a care!"
I thought this way, but I would go up to report it to Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao's face slightly darkened when he heard this. After thinking about it, he thought about it and said,
"Let Master Li go to the back hall to speak!"
"yes!"
Zhu Houzhao turned to the back, and Li Dongyang quickly bowed when he saw it.
"His Majesty!"
