My wife is number one in the world

"You are not humble at all, Liu Mingzhi, Liu Mingzhi, you... Liu Mingzhi?" Zhao Fengshou suddenly looked at Liu Mingzhi in astonishment, as if he had discovered a new continent.

"My lord? What's wrong with the students?"

"Are you Liu Mingzhi, the eldest son of Jiangnan Liu?"

"Return to the adult, it is the student, the adult has heard of the student's name?"

Zhao Fengshou looked at Liu Mingzhi in a complicated manner. He had heard of it. He rejected His Majesty's imperial decree and refused to be a companion to the prince in the East Palace. There was a lot of trouble in the capital. Although the emperor ordered that it should not be leaked, the palace has no secrets. I don't know how many people are staring at the emperor's every move. Of course, it is not out of rebellion, but to better cater to the emperor's needs. Therefore, the fact that Liu Mingzhi declined the prince's accompanying reading is still circulating in the circle of officials. .

Many people secretly scolded Liu Mingzhi for being ignorant, and they even thought that His Majesty's mind was becoming more and more difficult to figure out. The old minister of the court, Duke Hou Ye, wished to send his son to the East Palace, even if he couldn't ask for it, but some people just flocked to him He treated things like nothing, which naturally caused some discomfort.

As an official of the six ministries, it is impossible for Zhao Fengshou not to know about Liu Mingzhi's affairs, including the four big characters written by His Majesty on the day of Liu Mingzhi's great joy.

Many people are a little jealous of this son of a Jiangnan merchant, and also a little curious about what kind of virtue this person has to be able to receive His Majesty's kindness.

Later, after inquiring, I found out that the seven imperial edicts to extend grace to the grassland, and thousands of horses galloping with millions of silver all came from this person. Only then did I know why the emperor treated this young man so favorably, and many people even became friends.

Zhao Fengshou frowned: "So, the Governor of Qi, Mr. Qi, is your father-in-law?"

"My lord, you don't think my father-in-law helped me cheat in the scientific examination?"

Chapter 165

Chapter 165

Liu Mingzhi's question directly touched Zhao Fengshou's heart, making him frown.

It's not that Zhao Fengshou used the heart of a villain to measure the belly of a gentleman and wanted to make trouble out of nothing, but that there was an example in Dalongchao, where his father-in-law was one of the examiners, and his son-in-law cheated for personal gain.

However, it happened during the Xiandi Dynasty. The chief examiner was exiled for thousands of miles, and his son-in-law was also not allowed to take the imperial examination and would never be hired. Therefore, the identities of Liu Mingzhi and Qi Runweng's son-in-law touched his sensitive nerves.

If Liu Mingzhi did not hand in the papers within three days like other students, Zhao Fengshou might not be so suspicious. The bad thing is that Young Master Liu completed the first volume of the classics in the first session of Qiu Wei in just one day. I know that although there are only a hundred questions in the scriptures, there is too much knowledge involved.

"The Analects of Confucius", "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean"...a series, the Four Books and Five Classics have many influences. It takes some time for ordinary people to read these books, and it may be difficult to master them. Zhao Fengshou, as one of the examiners of Jinling Qiuwei, had to guard against it. If Qi Run, Liu Mingzhi, Weng and his son-in-law really cheated for personal gain, he, the chief examiner, would also be charged with negligence, and perhaps he would not be exiled Thousands of miles, but I'm afraid it's impossible to move up, and this life is only limited to this.

Zhao Fengshou frowned and looked at Liu Mingzhi: "One said: the heaven and the earth had a beginning, the sky is small with sincerity, the earth is packed with shape, and the heaven and earth are in harmony... What is the same article?"

"The first reading of "Lu Shi Chunqiu" reads: "Every emperor and king will prosper, and the sky will see the people first. When the emperor..."

"Taoist, the beginning of all things, the discipline of right and wrong, it is the Mingjun who keeps the beginning to know the source of all things, and the discipline to know the end of good and bad. Therefore, wait quietly...... untie?"

Liu Mingzhi closed his eyes: "The Dao is the origin of all things, the standard of right and wrong, so Mingrui's king took me from the original, understood the origin of all things, studied the principles to determine the reasons for success or failure...... ..... "Han Feizi" main chapter."

"The first stanza of "Mencius" dedicated chapters and sentences."

"Mencius said: He who puts his mind to the fullest knows his nature. Knowing his nature, he knows the sky. Preserve his mind and cultivate his nature, so things will die. Waiting for life to last, cultivating the body to wait for it, so establishing life. "

"Why?"

"If a person can do his best, he will know his nature, and if he knows his nature, he will know the way of heaven. If he preserves his heart and cultivates his nature, he will be able to serve heaven. There is no other way to live a short or long life. Wait, and you can decide your own destiny."

"Although the books "Lushi Chunqiu", "Han Feizi" and "Mencius" are also books written by famous sages and sages, they are nothing more than miscellaneous books for scientific research. What do you mean?" Zhao Fengshou looked at Liu Mingzhi in shock, knowing that for the students participating in the scientific examination, reading a subset of scriptures and history every day is already quite exhausting, but Liu Mingzhi is also good at miscellaneous books other than the imperial examination. It is quite incredible to read so well and cover such a wide range.

"Amass tens of millions of dollars, nothing is wrong with reading, making friends with literature, and finding a bosom friend." Young Master Liu said something that Qi Yun taught himself against his will. He really doesn't have much interest in reading, and he doesn't have time to talk about bullshit sages. Article, he just wants to make money, make money, or make money.

Zhao Fengshou closed his eyes and thought for a while. Maybe he really thought too much. After the test paper came out, he directly sealed it in the wooden box. The first twenty questions were given by an accompanying examiner. I don't know what it is, but Liu Mingzhi sat down with all the correctness.

You must know that the answers to the test papers were also exchanged with each other after the test papers were distributed.

Looking at the young man in front of him with burning eyes, Zhao Fengshou secretly sighed that he was really old, maybe there was a reason why His Majesty valued this man so much.

Just like what Liu Mingzhi said just now: "There is nothing wrong with accumulating tens of millions of money, but reading. Make friends with literature and find a bosom friend."

Chapter 166

Qi Run came out from behind the table with a little sweat on his forehead.

The conversation between Zhao Fengshou and Liu Mingzhi made him very nervous. Although the emperor had decreed that Liu Mingzhi's name should be seen in the capital no matter what, Qi Run still did not violate his conscience and really helped Liu Mingzhi, the son-in-law, to favor his own interests. fraud.

He also heard a little about the exiled chief examiner, so he kept avoiding suspicion, and never said a word to Liu Mingzhi and his son.

According to common sense, officials with children participating in the imperial examination invigilator are not allowed to have their elders present, but Liu Mingzhi's accident happened.

All he could do was think about this matter for a while, Qi Run had already forgotten that he wanted to reprimand Liu Mingzhi, and he had already prepared a draft for the matter of handing in the papers ahead of time, thinking about how to reprimand him, but he easily avoided it.

"Zhi'er, aren't you a bit too crazy for doing this? The imperial examination is a matter of life and destiny, how can you treat it like a joke."

Hearing Qi Run's words, Liu Mingzhi and Zhao Fengshou both felt a little embarrassed. Liu Mingzhi was afraid that Qi Run would be furious because he handed in the paper early.

Zhao Fengshou was embarrassed because he didn't know when Qi Run arrived. After all, it's a villain's act to talk about others in private, not to mention that Qi Run is still his superior. Besides, even if he presided over the scientific examination, he would return. The land of the capital may never deal with Qi Yun for the rest of his life, so His Majesty may intend to call Qi Run into the capital to be an official, so he just bows his head and sees him when he looks up.

"Master Qi, are you done with your patrol?"

"That's right, Mr. Zhao has finished his inspection too? Why is this kid Zhi'er in the examiner's room?" Qi Run glanced at Liu Mingzhi but stared at Zhao Feng.

"This... Let Mr. Liu speak for himself."

Liu Mingzhi rubbed his nose and laughed a few times: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law has already finished the classics test paper, it's really boring to stay in the test room, so I handed in the paper in advance."

Qi Run frowned: "Have you checked?"

"I've seen it several times, and there shouldn't be any major problems."

"Master Zhao, please contact some of your fellow examiners and discuss with him about letting him leave the Tribute Academy. You can let him come back after the poetry test papers start. Otherwise, staying in the examiner's room will inevitably cause people to misunderstand that we have some shady deal with the examinees. , and it is easy to bring pressure to other candidates, and it is not suitable to stay in the Tribute Academy for public or private use."

Zhao Fengshou thought about it for a while, and it is true that as Qi Run said, candidates staying in the examiner's room will inevitably make people daydream, and letting them wander in the tribute courtyard will increase the pressure on other candidates. There is no reason to go back to the exam. After all, the exam papers have been sealed and sealed. The only way is for the examiner to accompany the exam to witness together, leave the Tribute Academy, and come in for the second exam.

"Master Qi, I'll find a few to accompany the exam."

"It's troublesome."

After Zhao Feng closed the door, Qi Run gave Liu Mingzhi a hard look: "I'll settle the score for you after Qiu Wei." Then he also went out and stood outside, leaving Young Master Liu alone in the room and feeling depressed .

For a quarter of an hour or so, several officials who accompanied the examination looked at Young Master Liu who nodded and lowered his eyebrows in amazement. This is a rare candidate who is rare in a century. Several accompanying test takers also had a vague impression, after all, those who solve the questions quickly always deserve the attention of others.

Several people discussed in the room for a while, and they all agreed to open the gate of the Gongyuan, and jointly guarantee that this guy can go out. After all, Qi Run's words completely reached the hearts of everyone.

This guy's one stop outside is to create a barrier with other candidates.

"I hope you are blessed, and I pray that your father will not beat you to death." Qi Run closed the door of the Gongyuan after saying this.

"Lord Qi, your son-in-law is really unique in thinking and acting weird. This is the first time I have seen such a master." Zhao Fengshou shook his head as he walked.

Qi Run sighed lightly: "This may be the answer to that sentence, a lot of money is stupid." Qi Run said a joke that was not too big or too small.

"What Master Qi said is interesting."

Seeing people coming and going on the bustling street, and then turning around to look at the cold and quiet Gongyuan, it feels like a world away.
