Prime Minister Chasing Her Husband

"Brother, brother, did you see it?" Li Zhiyuan grabbed Xie Xuan's hand and asked frantically as soon as he left the examination room, his eyes almost bursting with anticipation.

"I see, I see." Xie Xuan took Li Zhiyuan into the carriage.

"Then what we met that day was..."

"Exactly."

"Why am I so stupid, the handsome young man that day was obviously somewhat similar to Brother Li, I didn't expect it." Li Zhiyuan patted himself on the head, "No, no. You already knew that, didn't you? When my father was promoted that day, you were not surprised at all. You also guessed that it was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and you have been forcing me to make this policy in the mansion recently. You must have known it a long time ago, right? Okay, Xie Xuan, I will When you are a brother, you actually did such a thing."

The expression on Xie Xuan's face was almost unstoppable, and he said with a smile: "Dare to ask my lord, what did I do to hurt the heavens and reason."

"Using my trust to keep me in the dark, isn't that enough?" Li Zhiyuan got angry, and his round face immediately puffed up again.

Xie Xuan went into battle with both hands, pinched Li Zhiyuan's chubby face, and said: "Okay, don't make trouble, I told Uncle Li, I finally finished the exam, and I will take you to play these few days."

Li Zhiyuan was restrained by Xie Xuan and refused to admit defeat, his head shook like a rattle. "Where are you going, where are you going?"

"Go a little farther and eat noodles at the Bodhi Temple."

Xie Xuan deliberately brought Li Zhiyuan to play, and he finally received a message from Li Yong two days ago.Li Yongjiang Dali Temple was set on fire, Lin Chi was burned to death in prison, Jing Wenhao personally went to Dali Temple to try the case in the middle of the night, and finally let people release the news. , Tell him everything about everything, big and small.Xie Xuan has gradually understood the current situation, he has stepped into the officialdom with one foot, and when the imperial list is released, there will be a fierce battle ahead for him.Only when King Yi and the second prince are down, can he really breathe a sigh of relief.But the best thing in front of him was that the emperor somehow saw the clue, and he became suspicious of the second prince, and wanted to deal with him.Since the emperor had this intention, they took the initiative.So Xie Xuan specially arranged the itinerary for these few days, took Li Zhiyuan far away, fed him with delicious food and fun, and feared that there would be days when he would not be so relaxed.

The two were outside, and waited until the time when the rankings were released, Li Zhiyuan dragged Xie Xuan and squeezed into the crowd to see the rankings, and when he saw that Xie Xuan was at the top of the rankings, he bounced and squeezed out.

"How is it, so happy, but it is on the list, how much is it?" Xie Xuan looked at him and asked.

"Number one, number one, brother, you are number one, and Chunwei Jiazi is here." Li Zhiyuan's excitement was beyond words, his face was about to die of laughter, and he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

"Well, I see, what about you?" Xie Xuan couldn't wait to know Li Zhiyuan's ranking.

"Mine?" Li Zhiyuan frowned, looked up at Xie Xuan, "I forgot to read it. I read it from the beginning, and when I saw your name, it came out."

Xie Xuan shook his head helplessly, pulled Li Zhiyuan up and squeezed into the crowd again, thinking that Li Zhiyuan's grades would not be low this time, he searched from front to back, and as expected, he was found at the position of twelve.

"Xiao Yuan is awesome." Xie Xuan rubbed Li Zhiyuan's head and smiled gratifiedly. Li Zhiyuan's age and his grades are considered top-notch, and he finally lived up to his supervisor.

"Brother is great, and this year's number one is none other than brother." Li Zhiyuan has praised Xie Xuan too many times since he was a child, and this trick of Xie Xuan is also very useful. After all, every time Li Zhiyuan praises is full of emotion , sincerely.

After a few days like this, it finally came to the day of the palace examination.Li Zhiyuan was so excited that he almost didn't sleep all night, when Yin Shi arrived at three o'clock, he woke up Xie Xuan. "Brother, get up quickly."

Xie Xuan rubbed his sleepy eyes, and saw that Li Zhiyuan had dark circles under his eyes, but his eyes were still shining.Li Zhiyuan rushed out of the bed in two steps, put on his clothes in twos and twos, then picked up Xie Xuan's clothes from the hanger, and unfolded them.

"Are you going to wait for me to change clothes?" Xie Xuan walked over with a smile, and stretched his hands in.

Li Zhiyuan immediately rushed to him again, helped him tie up his collar and tie his girdle. "Han Wenxuan's men's clothing is really good. This wide-sleeved moon suit is perfect for brother, suitable for this day. It will be even better when brother is awarded the number one prize, and it will be even better if he wears a red dress on the outside." .By the way, today I have to change my hair into a shorter bun. I heard that the top hat is relatively short. If it is too high, it will stand up, and it will not look good at that time. Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, forget it, her craftsmanship is unbelievable, Or I will come in person, I went to learn it two days ago."

"What are you fussing about so early in the morning? Why did you go to learn these things?" Xie Xuan said reproachfully, but his tone was extremely joyful.

"Of course I have to learn. After today is over, I will be the younger brother of the champion." Li Zhiyuan was extremely proud, pulled Xie Xuan to sit in front of the bronze mirror, untied Xie Xuan's hair tie, and carefully helped him tie his hair.

When everything was settled properly, Li Zhiyuan personally sent Xie Xuan to the gate, Xie Xuan got into the carriage, Li Zhiyuan stood at the gate still reluctant to go back.

"Go in, it's very cold in the morning, you can catch a cold easily if you wear unlined clothes."

"Yeah." Li Zhiyuan couldn't help nodding, but his feet didn't move, "I'll go in after you leave."

"it is good."

"You remember to come back earlier, I will wait for your good news in Fuzhong."

"it is good."

"I have reserved a seat in the Zhuangyuan Building. If you win the championship, you will pass there. I will wait for you on the second floor and see you. You must see me when the time comes."

"it is good."

"You... Forget it, it's okay, brother, you will definitely win."

"Well, go back quickly."

It was Xie Xuan who entered the palace to take part in the palace examination, but Li Zhiyuan was more nervous than him. Even if Xie Xuan left, Li Zhiyuan, who hadn't slept all night, was still tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep, and simply got up again.

At the second quarter of Mao, the top five, including Xie Xuan, all entered the palace through the main entrance, and were brought into the main hall to wait.In this team, Xie Xuan met Tao Xianzhi who had disappeared in Beijing for a long time.

Jing Wenhao was dressed in a dragon robe, sitting on a high stage, with a smile on his face, but he was not angry. The natural aura of the emperor always made people want to submit to him.Below Jing Wenhao, civil and military officials are arranged on both sides according to their official positions.

"Xuanchun Wei Wujia enters the palace~" The palace man yelled and woke up the trembling students outside, and several of them entered the palace one by one.

"Students see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Pingshen." Jing Wenhao smiled deeper, "I really didn't expect that this year's top five would be so young. It really is such a hero. I am so relieved. Since they are all young people, I thought it would be simpler." , A few of you will make a policy paper on punishment and reward in this hall, and you can hand in the paper within an hour."

Because there was a palace examination, the tables had already been set up, and the students took their seats, but they didn't write directly. Instead, they took a deep breath and discussed in front of the Holy Majesty and civil and military officials. The pressure can be imagined.Fortunately, several of them are people with real skills, and they started writing after a while.After half an hour passed, Xie Xuan and Tao Xianzhi stopped writing at the same time, handed the answer sheet to the palace servant beside them, and then smiled at each other.

Jing Wenhao read the answer sheets of the two first, and then the others, and then selected the answer sheets of Xie Xuan and Tao Xianzhi for comparison, and said: "This is really interesting, what you two did The article has the same argument, but the ending is tit-for-tat, which is interesting and interesting."

Baiguan and several students who took the test were a little confused.

Jing Wenhao continued: "Tao Xianzhi, I ask you, why do you interpret virtue as respecting heaven, earth, and ancestors?"

Tao Xianzhi is quite well-known in the imperial court. In the last dynasty, he won the emperor's gold medal, and he can enter the palace at any time to accompany him. At that time, the person he accompanied was Jing Wenhao who was sitting on the dragon chair at this moment. .And his father was originally the emperor's grand tutor, the emperor's tutor, and his identity needless to say, he had already retired to the mountains and forests, but was invited by the emperor to return to the court to be the prime minister a few days ago. At that moment, I felt that the candidate for this year's champion had been decided.

Tao Xianzhi was dressed in a light-colored brocade, intentionally keeping a low profile, but after all he was a person who was used to being in the palace since he was a child, and it was hard to hide his nobility in every gesture.I saw him take a small step to the left, bowed and stood upright, with one hand behind his back and the other in front of his chest, Shi Shiran said: "Students think that since the Western Zhou Dynasty, there has been a theory of Mingde and prudent punishment. The characterization of the mixing of virtue and punishment in the ancestors has not changed greatly since ancient times. If the combination of virtue and punishment is the trend of the times, then what is virtue? Virtue also means respecting heaven. To follow morality is actually to follow the will of God. The second is to respect the ancestors, ancestors and ancestors, the beginning of our generation, and it is difficult for those who forget the ancestors to end well. The third is to respect people, and those who respect people, people also respect them. Rewards are quite critical, the root of which is that they failed to achieve the three respects, did not obey the will of heaven, did not follow the ancient law, and did not win the hearts of the people. The students have shallow knowledge, please the emperor to testify."

Jing Wenhao laughed loudly and said, "The children taught by the teacher really won my heart."

Just when everyone thought that Jing Wenhao would win the champion with a swipe of a pen, he suddenly suppressed his smile, looked at Xie Xuan with unclear meaning, and said, "Xie Xuan, let me tell you your opinion."
