Are you stupid?

Emperor Taixing's suspicious eyes were like a basin of cold water poured on Shenlong's head, instantly chilling him.

It's no wonder that every time Mu Huaiyuan ended a chess game with him in the past, he either put away the chess pieces immediately, or simply wiped the chessboard to avoid leaving traces.It turned out that he had been preventing himself from accidentally leaving traces and being suspected by Emperor Taixing.

Shenlong's heart skipped a beat, and he clenched his fists quietly.

Mu Huaiyuan had already taken half a step forward to cover Shenlong, rolled up his sleeves and snorted coldly, "Your Highness is worthy of being His Majesty's son, he is very smart, and he will always take the next step and destroy it three times. In this way, in the next ten years, there will be success."

When Emperor Taixing saw Mu Huaiyuan, most of the blood on his face went down, and when he heard Mu Huaiyuan's ridicule clearly, the last trace of rosiness faded away, and he gritted his teeth and stared at Mu Huai deep.

Mu Kang was the leader of the generation at that time, who can not admire Mu Kang's demeanor?

Emperor Taixing was no exception.

Relying on his status as the prince back then, he often hung around Mu Kang's side, and he also had the experience of playing chess with Mu Kang.It's just that Mu Kang mercilessly killed Emperor Taixing in the chess game, and taunted Emperor Taixing for playing chess with his favorite, which made Emperor Taixing lose face.

——When Emperor Taixing made regret chess and was ridiculed by Mu Kang, Mu Huaiyuan was not born yet.

Emperor Taixing really didn't expect that Mu Huaiyuan would find out about his embarrassment in the early years, and even use his son to mock him again!

Mu Huaiyuan stared at Emperor Taixing with downcast eyes, and soon used that face that made Emperor Taixing drenched in cold sweat to force him back.

Emperor Taixing gritted his teeth and taught Shenlong, "If you don't want to play, let the companion teach you well, don't even let the companion teach you badly."

Although he scolded his son, Taixing Emperor looked at Shenlong much more pleasing to his eyes.

Sure enough, he and his son were at odds with the Mu family!

Shenlong did not agree with sincerity and fear, but instead bent Mu Huaiyuan's waist with his elbow, "Playing chess is just a pastime, so what's wrong with regretting it? It's just that the chess game was interrupted, and you didn't let you win what my father gave me." Does Panlong hold the pearl inkstone inkstone? What about Bauhinia, pick up the inkstone for him and let him take it away."

Shenlong pouted slightly, and Xiaoyuan's youthful face was full of childishness.

"Your Highness has already lost, so you should be willing to gamble and admit defeat."

Shenlong frowned slightly, and obviously didn't like to hear the words "I lost", but he still followed Mu Huaiyuan's words, "Yes, yes, I lost to you,"

Emperor Taixing didn't dare to look at Mu Huaiyuan at all, so he was very happy to see his son annoyed by Mu Huaiyuan, but when it was his turn for his son to be taught by Mu Huaiyuan, Emperor Taixing was very unhappy.

Emperor Taixing supported Shenlong, "Playing chess is a small way after all, and it is serious to be able to make a difference in the court. Only the group of playboys who only know how to read, drink, enjoy flowers and play are competing for literary talent all day long."

"Yes, Father is right."

Shenlong suddenly remembered what Mu Huaiyuan said about asking the classics to find him a place to settle, and immediately seized the opportunity to say to Emperor Taixing, "Father, Mu Huaiyuan is not young anymore, why don't you give him a chance and let him go to the small town?" When you become an official, see what real skills you can have besides playing chess and endorsing books."

Taixing Emperor finally didn't get too dizzy. Although he was very moved by his son's suggestion and wanted to deliberately arrange a place for Mu Huaiyuan with poor mountains and bad waters and chaotic people, he still resisted the impulse and said hesitantly: "This, I'm afraid Is it not good...Officials are transferred by their own bureaucratic management."

Shenlong raised his face arrogantly and glanced at Mu Huaiyuan, walked up to him with his arms folded, and asked arrogantly, "Chunwei Enke is right in front of you, do you dare to compete with the students all over the world for a place?"

"If I pass the exam, don't I want to go to the poor valley. Your Highness, what good will it do me if I win? Do I despise the prosperity of the capital, and the life in the princess's house of my teacher's wife is too easy, so I have to find it hard for myself?" " Mu Huaiyuan showed disgust at Shenlong's proposal, and almost immediately rejected his proposal to end the scientific examination.

"This……"

Shenlong frowned to look at Emperor Taixing, and quietly tugged on Emperor Taixing's sleeve, "Father, help me think about it."

If he had only heard it once, Emperor Taixing could still endure the outpouring of malice and not embarrass Mu Huaiyuan, but he showed such confidence that Emperor Taixing finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Emperor Taixing didn't want to make things too ugly, so he simply brought all the companions of Shenlong with him, and waved his hands boldly, saying, "My son is now a prince, so how can there be no official position for the companions around him. Otherwise, all In the end, anyone who can pass the exam, regardless of their ranking, I will reward you with two hundred rewards, one thousand silver, and a promotion to another rank, all of which should be celebrated for my son."

"Thank you, Father." Shenlong straightened his body, stood behind Emperor Taixing, gave Mu Huaiyuan a wink, and said excitedly, "You don't have to come quickly to thank Father."

Then he continued to say to Emperor Taixing, "Father, in case they say it's unfair, it's not enough to just blur the name of this exam, let's also let officials who have candidates in their families avoid suspicion."

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, because the recommendation and the scientific examination were parallel, there were not many children from aristocratic families who were promoted through the imperial examination. Those who were willing to endure eating and drinking in a small cubicle in the examination room were all common people. On the contrary, there is a taste of "my nephew at home is so wronged to take part in the scientific examination, and I feel distressed when I am the chief official".

As soon as Shenlong opened his mouth, he immediately blocked Emperor Taixing's plan to send someone to find Mu Huaiyuan unhappy in the verdict.

Emperor Taixing was so anxious that his brow was sweating, he couldn't think of a better way to disgust Mu Huaiyuan, he couldn't help complaining in his heart that his son was really stupid for many years, he didn't know how to use any means, and he wanted to fix Mu Huaiyuan, but he was still upright Come on, you don't even need to plot tricks.

Mu Huaiyuan could hardly restrain the smile in his eyes. After Shenlong stopped talking, he stepped forward to thank him, "Your Majesty, Your Highness is considerate, so as to avoid my doubts."

"Get up, take the exam hard, and don't disappoint the prince's expectations of you." Emperor Taixing said through gritted teeth, and left without even looking for a reason.

Emperor Taixing walked briskly, but the veterans didn't want to leave, they stood in the yard dawdly and refused to lift their feet.

The new prince of the Great Zhou has too many legends, even the classics that became his teacher three months earlier don't have a deep understanding of the prince.The veterans really wanted to observe from a distance to see how talented and good the prince was.

"It's rare for you all to come to my Chengqing Palace. It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Come in and sit with me?"

Shenlong played tricks on the maids and servants, they quickly stepped forward to help the old officials, invited them into the room and put them in their seats, and served tea and snacks one by one.

Zhou Ji moved his buttocks, and found that the cushions under his body were two layers, and immediately raised his evaluation of the prince in his heart.

——It doesn't matter whether the palace people were educated by Empress Cui or instructed by the prince himself, a servant who can use and use a clear mind is the ability to be a master.

He looked at the refreshments on the table again, and couldn't help laughing.

On a small lotus flower plate, there are only dim sums the size of four copper coins, half sweet and half salty, the dim sum looks very soft and rotten, suitable for the elderly with loose teeth.

Taishi Zhou took a sip of the drink from the cup in front of him, and smiled even more happily.

He took a big sip, looked at the little prince who was drinking milk from a crystal cup and said, "Your Highness is as careful as a hair. It's just that I don't understand. There is no old man in the palace. How does His Highness know that the old man has bad teeth, numb tongue, and can't taste anything?" , like soft, rotten food and drinks?"

...Uh, this, of course he didn't know it in this life.

But excuses are easy to find. Shenlong took a quick look at the classics, then continued to smile, and praised Zhou Ji with the same words, "The grand master is as careful as a hair. If you don't point it out, I can't imagine that there are no old people in the palace. "

Zhou Ji followed Shenlong's gaze to look at the classics, and thought regretfully in his heart that the classics are only in their 50s, but their teeth and sense of taste have already deteriorated. Sure enough, no one is perfect, unlike him, who is more than 80 years old, there are still many What about a tooth?

With a subtle sense of superiority in his heart, Zhou Ji continued to flatter each other with Shenlong, "The Taifu didn't have much time in the palace, and he didn't need a few meals. His Highness will find that most of the old people are hard-spoken, and they are really filial children. It’s just that His Highness has been hidden in the harem since he was injured and was not known to the world, so we should walk around more with the courtiers to get acquainted with the courtiers, otherwise it would be meaningless to appoint the officials of Prince Zhan Shi’s mansion to be concurrently held by courtiers.”

He was trying to figure out whether his original proposal was made with the help of classics, or he thought it up by himself?

I really didn't expect that the old ministers' test of him didn't come when he went to listen to the government hall that day, but there was a gap for "recovery".This group of grandpas, who are more complicated than Jiu Lianhuan, don't think that pretending to be sick is their own way!

Shenlong smiled gently, knowing that if he didn't convince the veterans today, he might have a hard time studying under their hands.

He explained clearly and in a gentle tone, "In the past dynasties, there have been many evil things between father and son fighting for power. Father is busy with government affairs, and I don't want to add trouble to father, so I choose the same courtiers method as father. Thinking about it, the imperial doctor suddenly said that I was recovering from a serious illness and my body is weak, I should take care of my body first, instead of wasting effort on studying and handling government affairs."

He nodded, pointed his finger at the corner of his mouth and smiled, "I think this is really interesting."

"Father didn't guard against me, but some people hoped that I would not make a splash in the court. However, after I recovered from my illness, one thing followed another, and I really didn't have time to relax. It is rare that when I have a rest, I am deliberately put on trouble In front of me, why didn't I follow the other party's wishes and take a rest. I simply went back to the palace to recuperate, and then I begged the teacher to take me out for a walk in disguise."

The smile on Shenlong's face became more and more intense, but his eyes were as cold as frost and snow, "The more interesting thing is yet to come. After I left the palace, I wandered around the market with my teacher, knowing the sufferings of the people, and I happened to bump into a group of horse dealers. Among them, Hu Nu, who tamed horses for horse dealers, was able to use the different shades of spices to make the horses show a state of closeness or attack to the rider."

"What a coincidence, isn't it?"

"Everything is such a coincidence! I almost believed it all, these were all accidents." After Shenlong finished speaking, his eyes swept over several veteran officials present, and finally pointed at Zongzheng, "Cousin uncle, my elder brother's death may not be It was an accident, but my father is unwilling to delve into it. What should I do?"

After Shenlong finished speaking, the Chengqing Hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

The author has something to say:

Shenlong: I spoke ill of my father in front of you.Now I call your names, do you dare to agree?

Veteran: ...mmp!

Thanks to BONES for mine.
