She actually looked like "Why can't you find the point?" She didn't feel that she was the one who couldn't find the point at all.
Emperor Ming Yan felt a little like having fun.
To be honest, even if there is no "blessing" for such a living treasure, no one can help but feel sorry for him.
Seeing her squatting there in disarray, with her face in her hands and a serious look on her face, Emperor Ming Yan laughed and scolded her: "What do you look like? You haven't stood up yet!"
Yan Shiyue stood up and said, "Aye, do you think these people are just following the trend or making trouble, or do you really think it's unfair?"
She looked at him: "I want to know, is this a backlash against past injustices, or is there really room for improvement in Dayan's imperial examination? Otherwise, even if someone wants to cause trouble, they won't be able to cause such a big fuss.
The literati look down on each other, the imperial power is here, but these people are not stupid? Are you really afraid of being registered in our eyes? You will not be able to stand out in your life? "
"How do you say that?" Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty said: "The literary style in the south of the Yangtze River is flourishing, but the north has always been weaker than the south. In all previous imperial examinations, there are far more people from the south than from the north. It is a coincidence that in this subject, except for Xu Qing and Yan Shi
Apart from Rong, there are only two Northerners in the list, which is really too few. It is normal for Northerners to be dissatisfied and question them, so if someone with an intention incites them, they will naturally..."
Yan Shiyue's eyes sparkled.
I told you earlier! She can do this question!!!
She turned around and left: "Yeah, I'm leaving! Wait for my good news!!"
She quickly ran to the Jixian Hall in the West Hall, found someone at random, and said, "Call Xu Wenqu for me."
Who didn't know her now? The man hurriedly saluted and called him Prime Minister. She only nodded and didn't go inside. She just waited outside. Xu Wenqu came out after a while. Her eyes were bright and she said: "Mr.
Write me a note!"
Xu asked the channel: "Let's go."
She asked: "Don't you need to take leave?"
Xu Wenqu smiled and said, "You are being recruited by your superiors, so you don't need to take leave." After he finished speaking, he smiled again and said, "I already took leave when I came out."
She wanted to take Xu Wenqu out of the palace, but Ma Yi trotted over and said, "Your Highness, the emperor said that if you want to write something, just go to the side hall and write it."
She said "oh" and thought for a while before going to the side hall. First she whispered to Xu Wenqu what she wanted to write and asked him to write it. Then she went to see Emperor Ming Yan. Emperor Ming Yan said: "Courters cannot enter the harem, no.
Know?"
She said: "I know, I don't want to go back to Fuzhen Palace, I want to go home!"
Emperor Ming Yan glared at her: "Where is home?"
She said plausibly: "If I write it here, won't people suspect that Aye has read it first? Then when I bring it up in court tomorrow, how should you behave?"
Emperor Ming Yan was speechless: "Do you think anyone will believe that I don't know about the cheats you made??"
Yes.
She sat down, and when she saw Emperor Ming Yan approving the papers, she couldn't help but said, "Ah, why didn't you ask me?"
Emperor Ming Yan said: "Isn't it just selling out? Let's see how long you can endure it!"
She immediately covered her mouth and asked Gu Jiuxing to give her some snacks.
Probably because of her growth, she is really hungry now, because she can't keep her mouth shut, so there are many more kinds of snacks in Emperor Ming Yan's place that can be seen with the naked eye.
When Emperor Ming Yan was approving the papers, he would hear the rustling and clicking of his head, just like a rat making noises. Others would have scolded him so many times, but she...it was quite relaxing to listen to it.
Xu Wenqu was in a hurry, so he finished it with a wave of his hand, and then presented it to him. Emperor Ming Yan looked at it thoughtfully.
Yan Shiyue also took it over and looked at it, and couldn't help but said: "I think Mr. Xu is really 'born to know'. It feels like the articles are all in his mind and he just takes them out when he needs them. He never listens to them."
He said 'I can't write this'."
Xu Wenqu bowed his hands and saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister."
Emperor Ming Yan said: "Go back and take a good look first, lest you not be able to recognize all the words in the poem you wrote."
"How is that possible!" Yan Shiyue was speechless: "I just can't write articles, it's not like I can't read!"
Emperor Ming Yan smiled and said: "Okay, let's go."
And she left.
She was worried by Emperor Ming Yan's words, so she took it out and read it through again. When she read it, she felt that she understood all the meanings. She really had to pick out the words one by one, but she really didn't recognize some of them, so she asked: "Sir, what do you pronounce this word?"
?”
"Salty, I think it's salty, I just think it's salty."
"What about this?"
"Recommend, recommend talented people. That's..." He paused: "No need to explain this, right?"
She coughed and looked at him a little doubtfully: "Is this how the word recommendation is written?"
He answered seriously, "Yes."
"What about this word?"
She asked about ten words from beginning to end, then she took the note and left.
More than one person came over and asked Xu Wenqu: "What is the Prime Minister busy with?"
Xu Wenqu smiled and said: "I wrote a note for the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister gave me some pointers."
Isn't this nonsense? But people at this time are like this. If they want to be shameless, he will not ask directly, "What did you write for her?" So he can only walk away.
Qu Sinian was far away from Xu Wenqu, but he heard it and did not go over to ask him. He only thought about it.
Everyone who got the news had their own guesses.
Of course, there was no need to wait too long. Prime Minister Yan went to the morning court the next day.
With her fighting spirit high, even getting up in the middle of the night didn't seem so painful. When she said: "I have a notebook to write," it is estimated that nine and a half people out of ten people's ears perked up.
After hearing this, the prime minister suggested a "North-South ranking".
"The candidates for the imperial examination must be selected from both the north and the south. Although the southerners are good at writing, but the northerners are heavy-handed, the northerners will only get tenth of the ones selected by Leke, which is not the way of the world..." ①
Zhongshu ordered Liu Zhongqing to be the first to launch an attack: "When selecting scholars through the imperial examination, those who are talented will be placed there, and those who are virtuous will be placed there. Selecting the best and forcing them to be comprehensive, doesn't it deviate from the original intention?"
Yan Shiyue said: "Master Liu is right to say that, but his vision is narrow and his knowledge is short-sighted."
Liu Zhongqing: "...???"
Is it okay to just use ginseng cock?? Not such a bully!
Liu Zhongqing said: "I am just talking about things based on the situation. It may not be too arrogant for the Prime Minister to criticize me like this!"
"The truth is that it depends on the facts!" Yan Shiyue said: "For example, Mr. Liu, you have two sons in your family, one is smart and knowledgeable, and the other is dull and mediocre, then you would use all your resources to
All the money and resources are given to the smart kid, but the stupid kid just abandons it and doesn't care about it. If he asks, you just say that you have no ability anyway and you deserve it??"
Liu Zhongqing's face turned blue.
Coincidentally, he does have two sons, and they are really good writers. The other is relatively mediocre, but the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh. Even if his son is a little stupid, he will definitely take good care of him... If he didn't know this
With this style, he even suspected that she had investigated it!
Emperor Ming Yan coughed twice.
The prince quickly smoothed things over for her: "Fuyan speaks too directly! But his words are rough and rational."
He paused for a moment: "The south is rich and has a prosperous literary style. Although the north is slightly inferior, it is precisely because of this that it should be encouraged. This is the way to balance." (To be continued)
