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

Xie Qian took Liu Ruyi's hand, smiled gently, and comforted: "Don't worry, even if I really pass the exam, for your sake, I would rather not have this fame." "

"You're not afraid now, are you?"

Hearing Xie Qian's gentle promise, Liu Rufang nodded gently.

At this time, an official downstairs said loudly: "Xie Qian of Jinling Mansion, the third place in the A section of Old Master Xie's high school, Tanhualang and No., please ask Old Master Xie to go downstairs across the horse and cross the street, and then report to Guozijian." "

Hearing the shouts downstairs, everyone upstairs was stunned.

Xie Qian smiled, gently patted Liu Ruyi's back, and said, "I'll go downstairs and take a look." "

Following Xie Qian, everyone walked downstairs.

Until this moment, everyone present was really stunned.

Because this is not fake, Xie Qian is really Tanhualang!

I saw that downstairs, a group of people were beating gongs and drums, pulling a tall horse wearing red and talent, and a messenger hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Please thank the old man to cross the horse and parade the street." "

Suddenly, Xie Qian's face suddenly turned pale, and he kept muttering, shaking his head: "This is impossible, this is impossible..."

The messenger said with a smile: "Master Tanhualang, there is no doubt, Lord Zhao, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette, Lord Zhao, said that this is His Majesty personally put up your examination papers, and you, Tanhualang, were handpicked by Your Majesty." "

Seeing this situation, Liu Ru couldn't help but stand a little unsteadily, a pretty face became like white paper, she forced out a smile, and then looked deeply at Xie Qian with both eyes.

Xie Qian's heart was surging, and his blood was boiling.

He hurriedly walked towards Liu Ruyi, put his hands on Liu Ruyi's shoulders, and then turned to the messenger and said, "Don't go, this Tanhualang, I don't want it!"

Liu Ru's heart gushed with warmth, and two lines of tears involuntarily dripped down, squeezing out a smile and said: "No, you have been studying hard for more than ten years, and it is not easy to explore Hua Lang in the exam, not to mention that this is still the emperor's "six zero three" favor, you go, I am waiting for you." "

Xie Qian's expression was startled, and then he shouted loudly: "The treasurer, the treasurer!"

"Young Master Xie, oh no, Master Tanhualang, the little one is here. "

The shopkeeper hurriedly walked over, bowed and answered with a smile.

Xie Qian said in an unquestionable tone: "My wife will stay with you for the time being, and you will serve me well." "

The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded and replied in a loud voice: "This nature, this nature, Master Tanhualang, you can go at ease." "

Xie Qian turned his head and held Liu Ruyi's hand and said, "Wait for me, if I can't have both, I Xie Qian will definitely resign and not do it, and if I don't want my reputation, I will also come back to you." "

With tears in her eyes, Liu Ru nodded with a smile.

Xie Qian boarded the tall horse and paraded across the street.

After crossing the horse street, Xie Qian came to Guozijian, where Shangshu Zhao Hengchen of the Ministry of Rites was waiting for him with tea.

Xie Qian bowed his hand to Zhao Hengchen and waited for a reprimand.

Seeing Xie Qian's arrival, Zhao Hengchen looked at him with a smile and saw that he was talented and polite.

After a long time, Fang Cai nodded, and he said mockingly: "What a merry talent, do you know, just for you, the emperor personally took out your examination papers, and severely criticized me and Lord Li Weihan, the Right Capital Imperial History, and the eighteen scholars of the Wenhua Hall?"

Xie Qian raised his head, his eyes full of doubt, and was about to ask the reason.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Hengchen did not give him a chance to inquire and continued: "Okay, don't say it." I only hope that you will remember that you, Tanhualang, were watered out by His Majesty's heavenly grace and rain. You have to be a good man, be a good official, and never live up to His Majesty's grace of knowledge, you know?"

After speaking, Zhao Hengchen ordered: "Come on, change Tanhualang into an official uniform." "

An official holding his official uniform came over in response.

I never thought...

Xie Qian glanced at the official uniform he had dreamed of, but he did not accept it, but suddenly bowed to Zhao Hengchen and said, "I don't want to be an official in this life, so please ask my mentor to transfer the emperor." "

As the main examiner of this examination, Zhao Hengchen is suitable for all candidates.

Hearing this, Zhao Hengchen couldn't help but look shocked, and said angrily: "Daring!

The two stalemated for a moment.

Seeing that Xie Qian did not give an inch and was always unwilling to take the official uniform, Zhao Hengchen showed a puzzled look on his face and asked curiously: "Tell me, why are you?"

Xie Qian immediately knelt on the ground and told the original story between him and Liu Ruyi.

However, he was never moved, and did not glance at the imperial court uniform placed next to him.

"No luck, the mud can't support the wall?"

In front of Xie Qian, Zhao Hengchen was angry, pacing back and forth, and asked: "Just for that first flower leader in the capital, a Qinglou woman, you don't even want Tanhualang?"

Zhao Hengchen was difficult to understand.

This Tanhua Lang, how many readers have spent their entire lives, reading hard for decades, and they can't touch it, and he is so good that he wants to refuse the favor of the emperor.

"If you return to your mentor, Na Liu Ru treats the student as deeply as the sea, and the student cannot fail her if he dies. "

Xie Qian handed over his hand again: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both, if I accept His Majesty's favor, according to the imperial court system, I will definitely fail Liu Ruyi's deep affection, and ask the benefactor to fulfill it." "

Hear this.

Zhao Hengchen couldn't help but be stunned, and then he looked at Xie Qian carefully, and after a long time, he couldn't help nodding, seemingly sympathizing with Xie Qian's feelings and recognizing Xie Qian's character.

However, the system of the imperial court is greater than the heavens, and His Majesty's divine will is greater than the heavens.

Obviously not something that can be violated!

So, Zhao Hengchen then paced back and forth again, and said loudly: "Pedantic, Liu Adou, who can't be supported, then Liu Ru can not marry for your life, can't you not marry for her for life?"

"As long as you don't marry her now, you can still do the same with this official, the emperor's heavenly grace, you have not failed you." "

Zhao Hengchen, who has always been old-fashioned, actually said such words.

"But this..."

For a while, Xie Qian was a little confused, and he who could speak well on weekdays was speechless, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Okay, don't say it. "

Zhao Hengchen interrupted him loudly, and then he yawned and said, "I'm also tired, I want to go back to take a nap, and His Majesty will summon him later." "

After that, he strode out of Guozijian.

In the afternoon, according to the custom, Zhu Qizhen wanted to summon the new branch jin in the Qianqing Palace and admonish him, but in order to relax, Zhu Qizhen changed the place of the banquet to the new science and technology scholar in the imperial garden.

Qianqing Palace, in the imperial garden.

The banquet tables are arranged in four rows in turn, all of which are filled with delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

Next to each banquet, there were 128 new science and technology scholars standing in good manners.

The twelve scholars of the A section, together with the chief examiner Zhao Hengchen, the deputy examiner Li Weihan, and the eighteen university scholars of the Wenhua Hall were naturally in the first line.

Gu Dingchen, Lun Wenxu, and Xie Qian, as the three Dingjia, naturally sat with the chief examiner Zhao Hengchen and the deputy examiner Li Weihan according to the custom, closest to the emperor.

Xie Qian, as the emperor's handpicked Tanhualang, even if he wanted to resign and not do it, he did not dare to openly contradict the emperor at this time, did not give face to the Son of Heaven, and refused the banquet, of course, he also came.

As soon as Zhu Qizhen appeared, he walked into the imperial garden.

Wei Zhongxian then used a duck-like voice and shouted loudly: "In the nine years of orthodoxy, Enke Jin Shi, worship the Son of Heaven, and listen to the hadith." "

"See Your Majesty. "

Led by the chief examiner Zhao Hengchen, all the Jin Shi knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.

"Everyone, Aiqing, be flat. "

Zhu Qizhen nodded in satisfaction, and a smile appeared on his face.

The world's talents must serve their lives.

This is the principle and belief that he has always adhered to as an emperor and as the sovereign of the world.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. "

Everyone stood up, but did not dare to sit down.

Zhu Qizhen took the lead in sitting down and said with a slight smile: "Everyone sit, I changed this banquet to the imperial garden, just to make you relax." "

"Thank you, Your Majesty. "

Everyone answered in unison, and then they all sat down.

Zhu Qizhen smiled with satisfaction, took a sip of tea, and cleared his throat before he began his first admonition to the protégé of the Son of Heaven.

"The words of the saints, learn and excel. "

Zhu Qizhen looked at these new scholars who had read poetry books with a smile and said: "You are all readers, some people have been cold for ten years, some have studied hard for twenty years, and even some have been studying for thirty years, forty years, and only then step by step from the children's examination to Xiucai, from Xiucai to raising people, and then from lifting people to entering the shi, I also know that you are very difficult." "

"But you study and become officials, for what?"

"Yes, studying to become an official is for the sake of Guangzong Yaozu, and I want to congratulate you today, because today, you have all done it." "

"However, I still want to warn you, learn and excel, then what is learning and excellent?"

"That is to know things, not just to read books, but not to know anything else." "

"Know the book and know the matter. "

"The state selects talents, selects talents, and only takes the big exam once in three years, and from those of you who read, select people who know the book and understand the reason, and know the book to assist in government affairs, manage the locality, govern the world, and stabilize the people's livelihood." "

"Now, all of you have been admitted, which shows that you are already excellent learners. "

Zhu Qizhen first praised, then changed his tone and admonished: "However, whether you are a good or bad official depends on your future performance." "

"How can you be a good official?"

"Three words to you. (Read violent novels, just go on Feilu Fiction Network!)

"The first word, that is loyalty. "

"The second word, that is public. "

"The third word, that is, yes. "

In the imperial garden, Zhu Qizhen gave three words to the new branch jinshi.

Loyal, male, can.

The people present, whether it was one hundred and twenty-eight Xinke Jin Scholars, or Zhao Hengchen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Yushi of the Right Capital of the Supervision Academy, and eighteen scholars of the Wenhua Temple, were all silent and solemn.

Everyone is thoughtful.

Zhu Qizhen took a sip of tea, and after a pause, continued: "What is Zhong?"

"That is to keep the words of Xu firmly in mind, and think about Xu everywhere, for the sake of the Daming Empire, and for the sake of Jiangshan Society." "

"Here, I would like to introduce you to a loyal example. "

"Cao Zhengchun. "

Hearing the emperor's voice calling himself, he waited for Cao Zhengchun outside the imperial garden early, and was moved to tears and quickly stepped into the imperial garden.

"How can the slave He De be able to be regarded as a model of loyalty by His Majesty. "

I don't know if it's sincerity or acting, Cao Zhengchun snorted, a handful of tears, tears are simply more turbulent than spring water wah-wah.

"Your Majesty's holy deliberation, everything the slave does, it is only according to His Majesty's will. "

"The slave bows to the fullest, and after death, he will never be able to repay His Majesty's grace of knowledge." "

After speaking, he knelt in the imperial garden and cried.

The voice is sad, it is simply the kind that can move the heavens and the earth!

"Flatten, give a seat!"

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly.

However, the people present, whether it was Zhao Hengchen, Li Weihan, eighteen Mandarin Hall scholars, or one hundred and twenty-eight Jin Scholars, were all a little stunned.

They never expected that the loyal minister in His Majesty's mouth would be Cao Zhengchun!

Those present were all people who had read a lot of poetry.

To be honest, they looked down on eunuchs from their bones.

What's more, it is still the notorious Cao Zhengchun in the court and the wilderness.

However, it didn't take long for many people to think clearly, Cao Zhengchun's role as a model of loyalty, seemed unexpected, but it was indeed reasonable.

Because although Cao Zhengchun does things viciously, he kills without blinking.

But what he defended was the majesty of the emperor!

Although he was notorious in the government and the public, he set off a massacre if he didn't understand it.

But he was plotting for the emperor alone!

As long as it is a matter that the emperor explains, he will do it more carefully than anyone.

After figuring this out, everyone present had a stunned expression, and they finally knew Cao Zhengchun's way of being an official.

That's a loyal word!

More than many people who have read poetry, he understands what Confucius said: prince, courtier, father, son.

The king is the subject, and the father is the son.

Zhu Qizhen, as the lord of the world and the sovereign father of hundreds of millions of people in the Daming Empire, is the principle of the people of the world.

This is loyalty!

It is because of loyalty, so although he is arrogant and domineering, although he does things viciously, and although he sometimes does some wrong things, the emperor can still tolerate him.

It is because of loyalty that Cao Zhengchun can still stand tall in the face of countless impeachments.

Zhu Qizhen said, "What is a gong?"

That is, no matter whether we are a person, a worker, or an official, we must put our hearts in the middle, be impartial, and pay attention to the overall situation everywhere, the billions of miles of rivers and mountains of Daming everywhere, and the people of the world's billions1.4 trillion trillions everywhere. "

"Here, too, I would like to introduce you to an example. "

"Yu Qian. "

Like Cao Zhengchun, Yu Qian, who was also waiting outside the imperial garden early, heard the emperor call his name, straightened his official uniform, dressed in a righteous manner, and strode into the imperial garden.

"The minister is here!"

Yu Qian bowed upright.

The people are important, the society is secondary, and the king is light, this is Yu Qian's creed as an official.

A thousand hammers hit the deep mountains, and the fire burned like idleness. Regardless of the broken bones, it is necessary to leave innocence in the world. This is Yu Qian's poem that shows his heart.

Although Yu Qian is a cow temper, he sometimes dies.

But he did put the people of the world first in everything, did do it with the same public heart, was touted by the world's reading, and was a model of the world's readers as officials.

Yu Qian served as a model for his ministers.

This was expected by everyone, because Yu Qian's name has long been famous all over the world, and he can indeed bear it.

Zhu Qizhen then shouted loudly, "Yan Song." "

Yan Song, who was also waiting outside the imperial garden, heard that the emperor regarded him as a model of ability, and his old body could not help trembling slightly, and then walked quickly into the imperial garden.

"The minister is here. "

Yan Song was about to kneel down and salute.

Zhu Qizhen said, "Elder Yan Ge will be exempt from the courtesy, give me a seat." "

"Thank you, Your Majesty. "

Yan Song bowed his hand, the emperor took care of his elderly and somewhat immobile body, did not let him kneel, and a warmth inexplicably gushed out from his heart.

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly, and continued, "He, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Yan Song, is the third example of the powerful minister that Xu wants to set for you. "

"Elder Yan Ge has been in charge of the cabinet for twenty years, strategizing and working hard, the Daming Empire is thriving, and Elder Yan Ge has made indispensable contributions, which is actually an indispensable pillar of the Daming Empire. "。
