Chapter 227: No. 1 in the Five Doors (Fifth update, additional updates please reward and diamond)
In the imperial study room, Li Shimin looked at the clerk standing in front of him with great interest. He really didn't expect that the clerk would be so resentful after reading Luo Zhang's answer sheet. He actually said that Luo Zhang was treasonous and deviant.
It's a bit serious to say that Luo Zhang's answer sheet was torn up. Could it be that Luo Zhang really wrote something extraordinary?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to look at the answer sheet in front of him. Li Shimin's eyes couldn't leave the answer sheet in front of him. As time passed by, Li Shimin's eyes became more and more glaring as he looked at it.
Finally, a loud and hearty laughter broke out. This laughter made the clerk Tong and Eunuch Huang who were waiting for the results very surprised. They didn't understand what happened to Your Majesty?
Why did Luo Zhang smile like this when he saw his answer sheet? Could it be that what Luo Zhang wrote was in line with His Majesty’s wishes? Otherwise, I can’t explain why His Majesty would be like this!
The scribe is the most incomprehensible. In his opinion, what Luo Zhang wrote is obviously treasonous, but why is Your Majesty like this?
Could it be that he thought wrong? What Luo Zhang wrote was not treachery, but a noble way?
Regarding Wen Tong's incomprehension, Li Shimin felt as if he had found a confidant, as if it had taken so many years for someone to understand his heart and know what he was thinking and asking for, which was why he burst out laughing like this.
You know, since the death of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin has never smiled like this. This is the first time in so many years.
So Eunuch Huang was very curious about what Luo Zhang wrote.
Apart from His Majesty, the only one who knew the answer was Wen Tong. His eyes turned to look at Wen Tong and whispered: "What on earth did Luo Zhang write? What made His Majesty so happy? I haven't seen His Majesty smile like this in so many years!"
"
Hearing Eunuch Huang's low voice, the clerk said with a wry smile: "You must also know the topic that your Majesty asked today. That is, if you are an official in a place and your Majesty orders you to suppress the rebellious people here, what will you do?
Do?"
"It must have been suppressed according to the order. This is the duty of officials!" Huang Eunuch replied.
"Yes, I think so too, but do you know what Luo Zhang wrote? Luo Zhang actually wrote that it should not be suppressed, but should be mainly to appease and understand the original intention of the rebellion, and finally he wrote a few words, "Water can carry"
Even a boat can capsize!" Wen Wen Tong said in a low voice.
"What? He actually wrote something disrespectful and disrespectful? If this really happened, it would be a crime of beheading! How could this Luo Zhang be so bold? You are the same. Why should such an answer sheet be given to His Majesty?
Yu Lan, I should have torn it up on the spot, what should I do?" Huang Eunuch said anxiously, he was really worried about Luo Zhang. This kind of answer sheet was indeed as Wen Tong said, treasonous, deviant, and simply deceitful.
Wu Junshang!
But the next moment, Eunuch Huang's brows widened again, because he thought of a problem, that is, if His Majesty is angry, he should order Luo Zhang to beheaded now. Even if Luo Zhang is not beheaded, he should
The only thing is to arrest Luo Zhang, but now His Majesty not only did not give the order, but also laughed like this. Could it be said that His Majesty was very satisfied with Luo Zhang's answer sheet? That's why he laughed so heartily.
Eunuch Huang is worthy of being someone who has been with His Majesty for a long time, and he knows Li Shimin very well. After thinking about it, Eunuch Huang is no longer anxious, and even has a smile on his lips.
This made the clerk who had been looking at Eunuch Huang look suspicious. He couldn't understand why Eunuch Huang showed such an expression. Wasn't he just worried about Luo Zhang to death? What on earth is going on?
Eunuch Huang didn't have time to explain to him, because Li Shimin had already spoken loudly at this time.
"Water can carry a boat and it can also overturn it. Well, that's really good. Water can carry a boat and it can also capsize it! What a Luo Zhang!"
"Eunuch Huang, please prepare a decree for me. I will confer the title of Madam of the First Grade to the Qin family of the Luo family, and give me the title of Madam Wenhua. I will reward the Qin family of the Luo family with two hundred taels of gold and ten pieces of Shu brocade. I would like to thank him for teaching me such a good thing in the Tang Dynasty.
What a young talent!" Li Shimin said with a laugh.
Eunuch Huang was very happy. It was exactly what he had thought. What Luo Zhang wrote was really in line with His Majesty's wishes. He actually granted the title of first-class imperial concubine of the Qin family of the Luo family. This was not just a grant given casually.
The people who were granted the title were all the family members of those who had contributed to the Tang Dynasty. However, the Luo family had dedicated their lives to the Tang Dynasty. The title of first-grade imperial concubine was well deserved, and no one would come out and say anything nonsense.
The clerk was a little confused when he heard His Majesty's words. He found that he really couldn't understand His Majesty. His Majesty's answer was so deviant and rebellious. His Majesty actually felt good about it. Not only did he feel good about it, he also gave the Qin family of the Luo family a first-class imperial title.
Madam? Is this your fault, or is Your Majesty crazy?
"Tong Wenshi, please go back. I have judged this sect, and Luo Zhang is ranked first! Tell everyone about my award to the Qin family of the Luo family, so that Luo Zhang can continue his efforts and don't be proud! Go!" Li Shimin said to the Wenshimin.
Tong ordered.
"According to the order!" Wen Tong came to his senses and responded hurriedly, then slowly exited the imperial study room.
When he came outside the imperial study room, he was blown by the breeze outside. The clerk noticed that his back was actually cold. This was because he had broken out in a cold sweat in the imperial study room just now.
It's not good enough. He could get an answer that was praised by His Majesty, but he actually said that he was treasonous and deviant, and even wanted to tear him apart. If he really did this, he would be dragged out by Your Majesty and thrown into prison.
Okay, everything is fine. He did not do this. Instead, he gave the answer sheet to His Majesty for His Majesty to judge.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the clerk took a deep breath and walked towards the examination hall.
By the time he returned to the main hall of the examination room, all the candidates had basically finished answering and handed in their answer sheets.
Seeing Master Wen and Wen come back, everyone focused their attention on him, wanting to hear what His Majesty's results were like for Luo Zhang. After all, Master Wen's expression before was really not right.
Old God Luo Zhang was sitting there, with a tea set in front of him as usual, a small stove beside it, and pastries in front of him. He was drinking Dahongpao and eating pastries, looking very happy.
Seeing that Wen Wen Tong had returned, Luo Zhang put down the tea cup and looked up at Wen Wen Tong. He was also curious about how Li Shimin would judge the answer sheet he had written, but according to what he thought, as long as Li Shimin was a wise king, he would praise him greatly.
The answer sheet is not as expected in the paper.
The clerk did not tell Luo Zhang's answer sheet evaluation immediately, but picked up the answer sheets of the candidates and read them for a quarter of an hour.
The answers of all the candidates were very similar. They all carried out His Majesty's orders, praised His Majesty, and said that the chaos should be suppressed, otherwise they would not be allowed to surrender.
The clerk then compared the answer sheets of these candidates with Luo Zhang's answer sheets. Only after this comparison did he discover the differences in the answer sheets written by Luo Zhang, and finally understood why His Majesty laughed so happily.
Admire, other than admiration, the clerk didn't know how to describe his mood at this time. Your Majesty's award to the Qin family of the Luo family is really well-deserved, and there is no bias at all. How can such a monster deserve his answer without a reward?
As for why His Majesty did not reward Luo Zhang, the clerk smiled bitterly in his heart. Luo Zhang was already a viscount at this time, and he was also a sixth-rank official. How to reward him again? How? Could it be that Luo Zhang was made an earl? This is definitely not possible, Luo Zhang did not
A great achievement would probably require him to stay with the Viscount for a long time.
Since Luo Zhang could no longer be rewarded, His Majesty made a sudden turn and instead granted the reward to Luo Zhang to the Qin family of the Luo family. This not only served the purpose of rewarding Luo Zhang, but also won Luo Zhang's heart.
, Your Majesty is really powerful, only Your Majesty can think of such a method.
For a quarter of an hour, a full quarter of an hour, all the students sat like that, staring eagerly at the clerk, hoping to hear from the clerk that so-and-so had a good answer. However, to their disappointment, Mr. Wen
He didn't say a word, he just looked there without any expression, and he didn't know what Mr. Wen was thinking.
Only Luo Zhang roughly guessed the reason why Mr. Wen did this. He was afraid that he wanted to compare these people's answer sheets with his own answer sheet, and wanted to see what was so surprising about his own answer sheet.
