I, Zhu Qizhen, am not called the Son of Heaven!

Liu Ru's singing voice full of tenderness, and softly, tactfully grown: In the wind and rain, looking for you for thousands of degrees, before the Buddha and under the moon, praying for you to burn incense for thousands of pillars, just say yes, and wait for you for a thousand years, looking back, but you are in the lamplight...

The whisper became more urgent.

Like the sound of wind and rain, the faster the rain, the stronger the wind, and the flowing spring turns into rolling waves.

When the sound of crackling continues, the sound of wind and rain and the sound of waves and waves, more and more urgent, louder, louder.

The sound of wind and rain seemed to have turned into a high-pitched roar, which became even more intense.

It seems to be resentful, it seems to be shouting and resisting.

It's hard to settle!

This song of hers seems to be singing for Xie Qian, but it is full of helplessness, more like the Yellow River of nine curves, ups and downs, gentle listening.

Sonorous.

The strings suddenly broke, the storm, the rolling waves, came to an abrupt end!

When the night is dark and the wind is high, before the moon flows under the water, there are talents sighing, and there are Yi people praying silently, and the two are speechless.

Until the strings break, a song.

Xie Qian suddenly trembled with excitement, he walked towards Liu Ruyi step by step, grabbed Liu Ru's white and tender little hand, pulled her up, and stared closely at her tender eyes.

Xie Qian's heart seemed to melt!

"You... Do you still want to jump into the river?"

Liu Ru raised her head slightly, looked at him affectionately, and asked softly.

"Jump!"

Xie Qian's breathing was a little heavier, and he replied, "Jump into this little river of yours!"

He hugged Liu Ru in his arms.

Liu Ru closed her eyes, and also couldn't help but hug Xie Qian's arms, as if she had finally found a trace of spiritual comfort, waiting for the person she thought was right.

What is the value of this spring dinner?

This good night is worth a tanhualang!

Qianqing Palace, nourishing the heart in the palace.

The lights were shining, and the dragon case was full of examination papers for the temple examination.

Zhu Qizhen sat in front of the dragon case, wearing civilian clothes, tied hair and shawl, and his face did not have the usual dignity and majesty, he read the examination papers one by one, and his heart was calm and peaceful.

Although the ranking of the palace examination has been released, it is calmed down by the examiners, and he still has to read all the examination papers of the palace examination one by one.

Why do we set up a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to study for the saints, and open peace for all generations?

This is a big question!

Reading good articles is like a spring breeze.

I have to say that many of the candidates in this batch of entrance examinations have indeed read poetry books, and they are related to family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs, and there are gullies in their chests.

For example, the articles of Gu Dingchen and Lun Wenxu, which explain many arguments and write many countermeasures, are extremely constructive.

These two people are indeed rare talents.

As long as it is tempered, in the future, it will not be impossible to become a pillar of the country like Yan Song and Zhang Juzheng, and become a reliable right arm of Zhu Qizhen in governing the world.

Naming the two of them as champions and rankings, it can be seen that the chief and deputy examiners and the eighteen-room university scholars are still considered to be fair in the ranks.

Zhu Qizhen nodded slightly, quite satisfied.

After reading the test paper in his hand, he put it aside, picked up the next one, and continued reading.

However, all one hundred and twenty-eight papers were carefully read.

Zhu Qizhen frowned slightly.

Because one of the test papers is obviously better than the others, it is also not far behind the test papers of Champion Lang and Bang Yan.

But why was the last place chosen?

Zhu Qizhen was a little puzzled, showing a suspicious look, could it be that there was something tricky in this?

He looked at this test paper, and it was actually Xie Qian.

This Xie Qian, when the palace was examined, was the first to hand in the papers, and the answers were flowing, very flexible and eloquent, which left a deep impression on Zhu Qizhen.

"Come man. "

"Your Majesty, the slave is here. "

Wei Zhongxian ran over with small broken steps.

"Go to the Ministry of Xuanli Shangshu Zhao Hengchen, the Right Capital of the Procuratorate, Yushi Li Weihan, and the eighteen-room Wenhuage University scholars who participated in the examination papers of the palace, I have something to ask them. "

"Yes, slaves obey. "

After Zhu Qizhen finished ordering, Wei Zhongxian replied respectfully, and quickly turned away.

Since there are not many examination papers, basically these twenty people, each of them will read all the examination papers and give their own ranking opinions.

Then, after comprehensive consideration, the final score of the palace examination is decided.

Zhu Qizhen didn't believe that so many people cross-read the papers, and one or two people looked away and said nothing, could there be so many people looking at the same time?

Putting a test paper that is obviously better than many is actually set as the last place?

An hour later.

Zhao Hengchen led Li Weihan and eighteen university scholars into the Yangxin Hall, knelt on the ground together, and said loudly: "Ministers and others see Your Majesty~." "

"Flatten. "

"Your Majesty. "

After twenty people were flat, they stood on the side in good manners.

Zhu Qizhen glanced at them lightly, picked up Xie Qian's examination paper, and asked: "There is an examination paper here, and I can see that the writing is better than many other test papers, but I was admitted to the last place by you." "

"If Xu knows well, this last one, according to the custom, will enter the Hanlin Academy, and if there is nothing particularly prominent, he will compile and revise a lifetime book there, right?"

"The last place in this palace examination will basically be characterized as a nerd who only knows how to read and cannot enter the ranks of officials at all levels, right?"

Zhu Qizhen's voice had a trace of majesty that was not angry and self-threatening, and he asked two questions in succession.

Zhao Hengchen was about to answer.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qizhen did not give him a chance to speak, and continued: "I heard that this Xie Qian, who was admitted to the last place this time, was because he had gone to a brothel and broke the four levels of the first flower leader in the capital. "

Zhu Qizhen said solemnly, "I called you here to tell you a truth. "

"I am also very confused about a truth!"

"Why did so many people spare no effort to protect Liaodong before reforming and paralyzing the government and sending troops to assess Liaodong?"

"And now such a candidate, because he went to what Chunyuan Lou, it is not allowed in the world, not allowed in the imperial court, and so many people spare no effort to ruin his future?"

"You all give me a solution, what is this for?"

Obviously, whether it is reforming the government or assessing Liaodong, the interests of officials and the family are more or less touched.

And Xie Qian's family, although rich, although it is also an ancient family, but it has long been lonely and has no power.

Zhao Hengchen, Li Weihan, and the eighteen scholars of the Wenhua Temple all knew that the emperor summoned them overnight, not just for the question of one candidate, but to play with the question.

The emperor is showing his attitude and determination!

The determination to thoroughly rectify the power of the family clan!

Zhao Hengchen replied: "Your Majesty, according to the Daming Law, if there are prostitutes in office, the staff will be eighty, and the talents and prostitutes in various places will stop the imperial examination for one session." "

Zhao Hengchen was cold, he was a famous scholar with a belly full of poetry.

He is not a party of the family in the court, and he has never formed a party for personal gain, even if he was once a friend of Yan Song, the head of the cabinet, he did not join the Yan party.

But it is such a clean and upright man, and what he says is according to the etiquette law, but it is difficult to refute it.

However, Zhu Qizhen immediately asked, "What is prostitution, and has Xie Qian ever prostituted?"

Zhao Hengchen handed over his hand: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because Xie Qian and his prostitution have not become a fact, so His Majesty asked him to participate in the palace examination before, and Wei Chen also supported it." "

After speaking, Zhao Hengchen straightened up.

"But Weichen remembered His Majesty's teachings that the imperial examination is to obtain talents for the country, not only talent, but also virtue. "

"After all, this Xie Qian once fought with prostitutes in Chunyuan Lou, and this matter made a lot of noise in the capital, and His Majesty let him participate in the palace examination, which is already a great grace of the emperor. "

"But if he is ranked in the list of first-class scholars, it will not only damage His Majesty's holy virtue, but also violate the etiquette law of the saint. "

After considering it all, the ministers and others discussed and admitted him as the last place in the C Branch, which also allowed him to enter the Hanlin Academy, read the book of the sages again, and deeply repent of his lack of virtue. "

Zhao Hengchen bowed his hand slightly.

"Your Majesty, for Xie Qian, the candidate, although the ministers and others were not admitted according to talent, they were also admitted according to virtue, this is to maintain the discipline of the imperial court and the etiquette of saints. "

"The ministers and others are absolutely selfless, and they also hope that His Majesty will know the truth. "

It seems to be reasonable, and when Zhao Hengchen speaks, he is sonorous and powerful.

Zhao Hengchen said nothing.

In the temple of nourishing the heart, behind him. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)

Li Weihan and the eighteen scholars of the Wenhua Temple all knelt on the ground, solemnly surrendered their hands, and said in unison: "For more than a thousand years, the deposition of hundreds of families, the exclusive respect of Confucianism, and the ritual laws of saints are all used to maintain the system of the imperial court, all are used to safeguard the hearts of the people of the world. "

Zhu Qizhen secretly glanced at Zhao Hengchen, the stubborn old man.

Although he is honest and upright, he is also a bull temper, and his thinking is too pedantic and inflexible.

Under the confinement of feudal thinking, there are many such people, and Zhu Qizhen can understand it.

However, such Confucianism, Zhu Qizhen has some headaches.

On the one hand, he needed Confucianism to consolidate imperial power.

Since Emperor Wudi of Han, why did he honor Confucianism?

Isn't it the emperor, as the lord of the world, who needs the ruling ideology of the sovereign and the subject, the son and the father, the prince wants the subject to die, the minister has to die, the father wants the son to die, and the son has to die?

Exclusive imperial power!

Zhu Qizhen, as the emperor of the Daming Empire and the sovereign father of the common people of the world, also needs this set of theories.

Moreover, this idea of the supremacy of imperial power has long been ingrained in the hearts of people in the world.

Zhu Qizhen would not be stupid enough to reform in this regard.

But on the other hand, many Confucian theories imprison the progress of scientific and technological development, and also protect the interests of the family, which Zhu Qizhen does not want to see!

It involves ritual law and the imperial court system, as well as Confucianism, and this matter is very important, and Zhu Qizhen will not foolishly propose the abolition of Confucianism.

However, for Xie Qian's talent, he felt that if he let it go like this, he still felt a pity.

Therefore, immediately afterwards, Zhu Qizhen handed Wei Zhongxian a look.

Zhu Qizhen knew that Wei Zhongxian, a eunuch, had a lively mind and sharp teeth, and he had a very good hand in dealing with these Qingliu celebrities.

Sure enough, Wei Zhongxian smiled knowingly, then arched his hand, stood up, and said: "Your Majesty, the slave has a word, I don't know if I should say it or not." "

"Say it. "

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Qizhen's mouth.

Wei Zhongxian arched his hand to Zhao Hengchen and the others and asked, "Excuse me, my lords, although the slave is a eunuch, I want to discuss with you what is the ritual law of saints..."

"Be bold!"

Before Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, Zhao Hengchen reprimanded: "Your Majesty, eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, how can eunuchs discuss saints' etiquette in the Qianqing Palace?"

"It doesn't matter, the authorities are obsessed, the bystanders are clear, you Ai Qing have read the sages, and you are familiar with the word etiquette, you Ai Qing may wish to listen to what people who do not know the etiquette law think of the etiquette law." "

Zhu Qizhen snorted and motioned for Wei Zhongxian to continue.

However, did Wei Zhongxian really not know the etiquette?

Apparently impossible!

How could someone who did not know the etiquette serve the emperor in the palace and serve the three palaces and six courts?

But he read a lot of poetry and was always ready for the throne.

"Well, since His Majesty said so, the ministers and others will listen to what Duke Wei has to say. "

The emperor spoke, and Zhao Hengchen had to relent.

Wei Zhongxian smiled slightly, and said with his hands: "Gentlemen, the slave has a humble status and comes from the people, but there are some small songs in the people, which can best reflect the living conditions of the common people, the slave is here, I want to sing it to all the adults." "

After speaking, Wei Zhongxian asked again: "May I ask you adults, I wonder if there are some singing moon rivers in your hometowns, men and women meeting, such a kind of ditty?"

As soon as Wei Zhongxian's words came out, Zhao Hengchen and the others were stunned.

For a moment, I didn't know how to answer, and I didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this eunuch's gourd?

"Yes, yes, no, no, the answer is truthfully. "

Zhu Qizhen would not give these Qingliu celebrities time to react.

On weekdays, they quote scriptures, impeach this, count down that, very arrogant, and speak quite loudly and dignified.

And they are clean and upright, and they are not far from the words of the saint in three sentences, the imperial court system, even if it is said that Zhu Qizhen, the emperor, Zhu Qizhen is not easy to refute it.

Now seeing them deflated, Zhu Qizhen was naturally very happy, and he had a feeling of growing a bad breath.

"If you return to Your Majesty, Weichen's hometown does have some such country ditties. "

"Weichen's hometown also has it. "

Zhao Hengchen and others replied yes.

Whose hometown doesn't have a few rivers yet?

Zhu Qizhen took a sip of tea lightly, glanced at Wei Zhongxian with meaningful eyes, and then nodded with satisfaction and motioned for him to sing.

Wei Zhongxian immediately understood it, and immediately sang with a voice like a male duck (Zhao Zhao Zhao), just like those little fresh meat in later generations.

"Every month fifteen, fifteen months high. The breeze blows, blowing the willows. In March, the peach blossoms bloomed, and the lover came with a letter. Carry books, bring letters, and send a purse with you. An embroidered boat with sails on board. The meaning of it, lover, you go and guess..."

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen suddenly got goosebumps, and almost couldn't resist squirting out the tea.

Unexpectedly, these ministers actually applauded loudly: "Good!"

This yin and yang strange voice, to the ears of these Qingliu celebrities, is tactful, just like the voice in the hook of the green building.

Zhu Qizhen didn't wait for them to slow down, and immediately echoed: "Good, good, good song, good meaning." "

However, at this very moment.

The old-fashioned and stubborn Zhao Hengchen suddenly looked straight, knelt directly on the ground, straightened his waist, and loudly hugged his fists: "Your Majesty, country ditty, Xialiba people, it is difficult to climb the hall of elegance, let alone above this temple?"

"Wei Chen really doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd by Duke Wei's move, but Wei Chen does not dare to agree with this move!"

Zhao Hengchen's words fell.

Then another scholar of the Wenhua Temple also knelt down and said, "What Lord Zhao said is reasonable, and I hope that His Majesty will adopt it!"

Zhu Qizhen's eyes sank slightly, and he suddenly stood up.

"Well, since you Ai Qing thinks that the country mile song is a Xialiba person and cannot go to the hall of elegance, then let you come for a while, and you can climb the hall of elegance." "

Zhu Qizhen's majestic voice sounded in the hall.

"Zhao Hengchen, you have read a lot of poetry books, and the first paragraph of the Book of Poetry, you recite it aloud to Xuan. "

Zhao Hengchen was stunned for a moment, and then he recited it: "Guan Guan Jiu, in the River Continent, my fair lady, a gentleman..."

"Jagged cabbage, left and right. My Fair Lady, I want it. I can't ask for it, and I can't believe it. Leisurely, tossing and turning...

"Jagged cabbage, pick it left and right. My Fair Lady, Kotosayuki Yuyuki. Jagged cabbage, left and right d. My Fair Lady, Bells and Drums... Energetic".
