Although it is a rare piece of writing, it is not absolutely nothing. As an emperor, who would be jealous of his ministers’ literature?
No matter how well-written the article is, can we still win the war?
The emperor sat on the pier and meditated. He was as quiet as death for a while. The paper was folded by the three chief and deputy examiners. They only raised their eyes slightly and knew which paper it was. Then they heard the emperor ask: "Why is this paper ranked third?"
”
Is this good or bad?
The examiner Zhong Fanzhi raised his eyes slightly, and was frightened by the emperor's cold gaze. He kowtowed again and again: "Although the articles in the third volume are excellent, they can be said to be pure and elegant. Every word is not easy. The essays are classics. Not only the candidates, but also me
Waiting seems to be inferior, but..."
He was not sure whether he should praise or slander, but the emperor couldn't wait, so he said: "But it seems to be too elegant and does not eat fireworks, so it is not suitable for an official!"
After saying this, the examiner actually felt very uneasy.
Fortunately, the emperor nodded, and even though he remained silent, the tense atmosphere in the hall relaxed a little.
When the two met, they immediately understood that this was the third volume of The Emperor Doesn't Like It!
Just when he was about to follow up the slander, Eunuch Zhao saw a female official coming from the outer hall.
The eunuchs present were all surprised. After all, on such an important occasion, the emperor was discussing matters with ministers in the inner palace, and the people outside did not stop this strange female official, nor did they report it, but let them in directly?
A young eunuch didn't know the female official and immediately wanted to stop her, but Eunuch Zhao had already trotted out of the inner hall, stopped the person directly, and with a smile on his face, said to the female official: "What orders do you have, the Queen?" Is this actually the female official beside the Queen?
The young eunuch who had tried to stop him was sweating on his back and didn't know what to do.
Logically speaking, the empress is the master of the three palaces and six courtyards, and is an enemy of the emperor, so she should not stand in the way. However, for more than ten years, the younger eunuchs have heard that the emperor and the empress were in love, but they have never experienced it, and they have almost never experienced it.
There is no queen.
Even Concubine Wu and Concubine Mei have more presence than the queen.
It can be said that the queen is on the verge of collapse. For more than ten years, all the concubines who have snooped on the queen's position have been demoted or left in the cold palace.
If this is a block or not, what is your attitude?
Fortunately, Eunuch Zhao went up first. Look at his attitude. He is a senior eunuch and knows the emperor's intentions better.
Eunuch Zhao was seen smiling, and the female officer Zhao Xiafu saluted and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's really hard for you to take care of the state affairs. The Empress feels really sorry for you, so she asked your slave to bring soup."
Eunuch Zhao looked around and saw a palace maid following Zhaoxia. She was holding a big plate with a hint of white aura in her hand. There were also two young eunuchs on the left and right of the palace maid, both of whom were guarding outside. When he looked over,
, the two people nodded.
Eunuch Zhao knew that it had been tested for poison.
"Just let the old slave carry it in." Eunuch Zhao said with a smile, thinking that there was a discussion in the inner hall and it was not convenient for female officials to enter.
"Thank you, Eunuch." Zhaoxia only had to deliver the things, and as a blessing, Eunuch Zhao personally brought the soup in.
"Your Majesty, this is the soup sent by the Queen. I say you have worked hard on state affairs." Carefully holding the soup in his hand, Eunuch Zhao went straight to the emperor's side and spoke softly.
"The queen sent someone to bring soup?" The emperor was startled when he heard this, and quickly changed his mind and said: "My queen is still thoughtful and wants to pass on some food!"
After saying that, he opened it. It turned out to be chicken soup, which was very common in the palace. He didn't say anything, just ladleed the soup with a spoon and drank it. As he drank, there was sweat on his forehead, maybe because of the heat. Eunuch Zhao hurriedly took out the handkerchief.
Past.
The emperor remained calm and wiped the corners of his eyes.
"Seventeen years later, I once again drank the queen's soup."
Seventeen years later, he still remembers this smell. Not only was this sent by the queen, but it was also made by the queen herself. But who is this for?
Suddenly, when I read the third volume again, I felt extremely complicated.
"It was rumored that the queen had a falling out with the emperor because of the prince's affairs. Now it seems that it may not be like that." While the three examiners were thinking about it, the emperor finished his drink and took out the third volume to read carefully.
Gradually, the emperor began to smell something.
"It goes without saying that it is pure liberal arts. The most valuable thing is that there is a kind of bearing in the writing, a kind of bearing that looks down on the prince and is condescending to the minister. It seems to be the spirit of a king."
"Although it is indifferent, it is not suitable for people."
"Fu'er's son is living among the people. According to intelligence, he has lived in poverty. He even borrowed money to bury the coffin before taking the imperial examination last year, but has he not lost his noble nature?"
This is the characteristic of a time traveler who is not afraid of anything. No matter how hard he tries to suppress it, it still shows up.
The emperor vaguely understood that either because of his youth or because of his royal aura, it touched his own skin.
"That's all, if you don't have any royal spirit at all, you are not my descendant." The emperor seemed to still have the familiar and friendly taste on his tongue. He finally sighed and changed his words: "If you don't understand current affairs, just pay more attention to politics. This volume
It’s very good, just click for Huiyuan.”
"Your Majesty!" The three chief and deputy examiners were a little confused. They didn't understand what kind of riddle this was and why they were not happy after reading the third volume before. In the blink of an eye, they changed their attitudes.
But as a minister, I am lucky to be able to escape unharmed this time. Naturally, I dare not say more and want to praise him.
When the three adults retreated, Eunuch Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But seeing that there were no outsiders, the emperor's face was filled with excitement. He walked around the palace a few times and suddenly asked: "Have the tributes been delivered this year?"
"Come up, you ordered yesterday to follow the old rules, but they haven't been dealt with yet!"
"Bring it quickly and show it to me. Show it to me."
"Ah... obey the order!"
The emperor had not looked at these so-called tributes for many years. At this time, he gave an order. In no time, two eunuchs led a group of young eunuchs to carry several boxes and cages to His Highness and opened them.
The items inside are all wrapped in bright yellow soft satin, including rouge lipstick, rhino wood comb, mirror, jade Ruyi, and hairpin ring...
The emperor came closer, took a closer look, and repeatedly ordered: "This is a good pearl. Take ten of them and give them to the queen."
"Although it's spring, it's still cold, so I need to repair a pair of mink clothes and court clothes."
"You can't have less satin. I'll reward you with a hundred pieces."
"Last time I went to the queen's place, I saw that the black and low tables were all old. What did the servants in the palace do for food? The queen was so cold and cold. I looked at it and cleaned it carefully."
After thinking for a while, he added: "The queen likes spring tea the most, so she sent her the jade spring water - why is there no spring tea here?"
"Long live, you forgot, it's only March now, and the spring tea hasn't been served yet!" Eunuch Zhao said quickly with a smile.
If the emperor made any mistakes, he said: "Now that the tribute has been delivered, inform me immediately and send these to the queen first."
"Slave... I obey the order!" Seeing the emperor like this, Eunuch Zhao's eyes became hot and he almost burst into tears. He quickly ordered the little eunuch to cover up, and watched the little eunuch who was carrying him go away. He felt melancholy for a moment and couldn't help but secretly
