12. Halberd Rui Steals Papers

Zhou Xu and the little emperor whispered for a while in the imperial garden, and Eunuch Ge, a celebrity next to the queen mother, came to invite them to a small sitting in the palace.The meaning of the queen mother is self-evident, this is a side attack on the emperor, who made the emperor always refuse to meet the inner family members of the ministers outside (especially the daughters of the inner family members).

The queen mother's wishful thinking was that the emperor listened to Zhou Xu very much, and it would be great if he could persuade the emperor to accept his concubine.Who made the emperor not her own son?

However, Zhou Xu didn't take Eunuch Ge's words, he turned around in his heart, he was well aware of the Queen Mother's thoughts and plans.Isn't the empress dowager just afraid that if the emperor is gone, she will have no power in the future? Doesn't she just want to cultivate an obedient queen so that she can indirectly control the harem?Zhou Xu has never had a good impression of this queen mother, she is a woman with a strong desire for power, and she is also a master of palace fighting.He still doesn't want to push the emperor into the fire pit, he can delay or delay.

Zhou Xu said: "Don't bother Eunuch Ge, the imperial examination has not yet passed, and the emperor and I still need to see it. After all, this is a big event. After this period, the king will visit the queen mother again, and I hope the queen mother will be considerate. "

Eunuch Ge's face froze, and he immediately smiled again, putting on a flattering look. "Prince Xuxian, you are busy. If the court affairs are not understood by the miscellaneous family, the Empress Dowager will understand, so the miscellaneous family will go back first." Eunuch Ge secretly hated.

Eunuch Ge and his attendants left dejectedly, and the little emperor laughed. "This is the first time I've seen Eunuch Ge not arrogant. Tsk tsk, little emperor, look at him if he looks like a defeated rooster, oh, no, he's not a rooster."

Zhou Xu patted him on the head, "Okay, it's the emperor now, why are you still acting like this, be careful to be seen by your brother, and let you copy the book again." The nephew is most afraid of endorsement, and even more afraid of copying books. But his childhood nightmare.

The little emperor immediately became serious.He pretended to say: "It's hard to look back on the past, it doesn't matter if you don't mention it, every real man who becomes the emperor has a history of blood and tears behind him."

"What crooked book are you reading again? There are quite a lot of crooked reasoning." Zhou Xu smiled happily, but he was feeling in his heart that he didn't know how long this relaxed feeling could last.After all, he is the emperor.

"Uncle Xiaohuang, you said that if I also make a test paper and stuff it in secretly, will I be the number one in the exam?" The little emperor asked.

Zhou Xu looked into his sincere eyes and felt that he had really thought about it. "Do you think that if you pass the No. [-] Scholar exam, you will be confident? An emperor may not be able to write poems, be not strong in martial arts, or not know how to fight wars. A good emperor will be a good emperor.” Such an emperor will not be self-righteous, will not be aggressive, and will not be close to villains, so as long as a country has a good master, a good system, and a good executor , it will work better and better.

After a pause for a while, the little emperor said with a smile: "Uncle little emperor, let's go back and see how those talented scholars who are famous all over the world take the exam." Then, he pushed the wheelchair and walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

He didn't show it on the face, but his heart was full of waves.

He has asked this question to different people in different ways, but he has never gotten a clear answer. Many people are teaching him how to be a good emperor, preaching every day, and it has never been practical.For example, you should be like Yao and Shun, not like those emperors who were destroyed.The answer is very general and nihilistic.

Ji Rui watched the emperor push his master away, and walked over immediately without waiting for Zhou Xu to call.

"Your majesty, it's better for me to do this kind of thing." Even facing the emperor, Jirui's tone was as cold as ever.

The emperor walked beside Zhou Xu calmly, without any feeling of being frozen by ice slag.

At this time, the students in the Hall of Supreme Harmony were writing vigorously, except for one fat man.He took out a steamed bun from his pocket and ate it in big mouthfuls.It looks delicious.It happened to be seen by Zhou Xu and the others.

"Nephew, look, this person is very interesting." He has good courage, and being able to enter the Supreme Harmony Hall examination is considered a talent, but he doesn't know if it's intentional or true.This person successfully aroused Zhou Xu's interest.

"Yes, this is the first student who dares to eat in the Hall of Supreme Harmony!" The little emperor replied with a smile.She gave Xiao Lizi a look, signaling him to ask a few invigilators to make things difficult for this person.

After a hasty look, it was getting late.

It's time for the emperor's lunch too.Zhou Xu and the little emperor went to eat.

After dinner, the emperor played a game of chess with Zhou Xu.Speaking of it, these two are really evenly divided, they are both stinky chess baskets, and the master who teaches chess lessons turns pale every time.These two are good in other things, but they are not good at chess, he thought they did it on purpose, but unfortunately their status is so high, he didn't dare to offend him, he was so angry that he couldn't eat.It's a pity that Zhou Xu and the little emperor didn't notice it, and thought they played well.

The little emperor played chess with many people, but it was a pity that others gave way and said: I am ashamed.The little emperor felt that he still had a great time playing chess with the little emperor uncle, and the kills were hearty.Did he think that his chess skill was so superb that it reached the level of a master?Ah, what a beautiful misunderstanding.

In the afternoon, I dealt with a few trivial matters, such as the Qionglin Banquet and Qujiang Tour Banquet and the matter of leaving a name on the weir tower, and Zhou Bang Xiaoguo came to worship and so on.

At this time, it was almost sunset, and Zhou Xu was left in the palace by the little emperor. Anyway, there were not many female relatives in the palace. Besides, Zhou Xu wanted to read the articles of the fat man and Kou Laoxi, the eldest son of the Yan family, in advance.

At dusk, lanterns were lit everywhere in the palace.A piece of bright.

After dinner, Zhou Xu waited for Fan Zhongyan to deliver the papers.In the end, he didn't get the test paper, but he got a ridiculous news.

It turned out that when the time came, the examiner came to collect the paper, but the fat man had just written the beginning, and the invigilator asked him to hand over the steamed buns before, but he was too hungry to write the essay.

Now I am crying and begging the examiner for forgiveness.

Zhou Xu couldn't help laughing when he heard that, this man really has a thick skin, but what's the use of being fast.

The little emperor thought about his own plan, and said: "I have enough steamed buns and candles. Go to the Imperial Academy and find two people to watch him. Let Fan Zhongyan and the others hurry up and approve the papers."

In the same night, Fan Zhongyan had someone to review it.They have rested in the afternoon and are rushing to work now.They could not go home until the emperor finished reading it.From today onwards, anyone who participated in the work of changing the imperial examination papers will not be able to go home, they will live in the palace until the emperor's papers are approved.

The room where the test papers were graded was brightly lit, and guards with knives stood outside.

Fan Zhongyan divides the examination papers into [-] people, and each person has a table. First, one will change the other, and each will add five marks of "○", "△", "\", "[-]", and "×". Take turns reading.Those that have been modified earlier will be sealed up so that the next person cannot see them, and the next one will judge again.There are special personnel to record and check each person one by one to get five marks.

If they all get "×", they will have no ranking, even if they are admitted to the palace examination, it will be useless.

The one with the most "○" at the end is the best paper.Then among all the volumes, the ten volumes with the most pretense were submitted to the emperor.

Under normal circumstances, the top three are selected from here.

Zhou Xu was actually quite curious about the original test paper, and urged the little emperor. "I don't know how good these adults are at marking papers?"

The little emperor was also itchy, it was his first time hosting, and he wanted to go and see it for a long time.Little Huangshu really understands his mind.

When Zhou Xu saw the little emperor's bright eyes, he knew there was a door. "You let the little chestnut go to preach the will, let them sleep half the night after work, and then find an excuse to transfer the guards. Jirui can enter the room and get the test paper." The Eastern Zhou Dynasty stipulated that the emperor could not participate in the correction of the original test paper. In order to prevent the emperor from choosing according to his own will.The question maker and examiner selected each time are people who argue with reason.

They don't want to see it obviously, after all, it doesn't make sense, but they can use other strategies.Even after I found out that I was passive, I didn't dare to say anything.

The little emperor immediately wrote a decree, and when it was almost time, he let the little chestnut go to work.

Ji Rui followed, thinking in his heart whether this counts as self-stealing or not.The emperor was spoiled by his master.

Xiao Lizi and Jirui cooperated tacitly, and after Xiao Lizi suspended, Fan Zhongyan and the others were all grateful.Then he took the transfer order and asked the guards with knives to do other things.Taking advantage of this gap, Jirui has already taken the test paper away.The test paper is quite heavy, but fortunately he is good at martial arts.

Seeing that Jirui had completed the task, Xiao Lizi asked the others to come back and continue watching.

Zhou Xu was drinking tea with gusto when he saw Jirui standing in front of him.Feeling in my heart, Ji Rui's kung fu is getting better and better, if this is an assassin, he would have died a long time ago.

I don't know how Jirui ranks in the arena.

Ji Rui watched his master wandering into space again, very helpless.The little emperor wanted to pretend that he didn't care, and walked very quickly. Zhou Xu was stunned, and the little emperor was already judging.

"Tsk, this examinee's brain has been kicked by a donkey. The essay is wrong, what did he write?" Zhou Xu leaned over to take a look, and it turned out to be an erotic poem.

"It should be because I stayed in the brothel for too long, and it was too comfortable." Zhou Xu said.He also took one volume, and by then his literary talent will be in full swing and his sharpness will be revealed. "This man is worthy of being a young man. It is true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers."

Zhou Xu glanced at his policy theory again, the beginning of the article is to break the topic, not bad, although it is missing
