The ten-year difference, Rong Zhen didn't care about it before, and he believed that Chu Heng would not change his mind, but this is by no means a reason to indulge himself. He is even more afraid that he will grow old in the future, but his lover will still be in the prime of life, and he will be a bit short-sighted by then. , I thought I would have a chance to come over and disturb others.

Therefore, when Chu Heng woke up, he found that his side was cold, and Rong Zhen seemed to have been away for a long time.

Chu Heng was worried about Rong Zhen, so he quickly called You'an to inquire, and You'an replied with a smile: "The regent is dancing a spear in front of the palace."

He knew that Rong Zhen had the habit of practicing martial arts to strengthen his body, but he didn't get up so early. He usually practiced in his spare time. Chu Heng hadn't seen it a few times.

"Why the gun dance in the early morning?" Chu Heng muttered, and asked Youan to help him put it on, and Youan responded: "The regent got up at Maoshi, and he has not stopped practicing until now."

Since Chu Heng didn't go to court today, Chu Heng got up late, and it was almost three o'clock, so the practice was too fierce.

Chu Heng passed through the gate of the palace, and saw Rong Zhen, who was dressed in a white slim suit and danced in the courtyard. It was extremely prosperous, as if one person could hold thousands of troops.

The thin shirt on his body was soaked in sweat, revealing a muscular and muscular body. His facial features became more handsome and sharp due to sweating, and he was breathtaking. Chu Heng saw a few little palace maids with pink faces, shy but restrained. Can't stop watching.

Chu Heng was a little unhappy, and said to You An: "Let them go out to do things."

You'an suppressed a smile: "I obey, Your Majesty."

Turn around and immediately go to tell the little maid.

When Rong Zhen saw Chu Heng coming out, he put away his gun and strode towards him, panting slightly.Baolin showed a towel over with a wink, and Chu Heng picked it up to wipe Rong Zhen's sweat, and asked him, "Why did you practice for so long today?"

Rong Zhen didn't want to talk about her hidden worries, and said with a slight smile: "It's also to prepare for the future battlefield. The battlefield changes rapidly, and the sword has no eyes, so work harder on weekdays."

When Chu Heng heard it, his heart ached, but he couldn't say anything about not letting him go to the battlefield.

If there is a war with Yuewu and other countries in the future, Rong Zhen is undoubtedly the best choice for the general. Three years ago, he led the army to defeat the enemy country. He can win the battle with the least loss and cost when he goes to the battlefield .

Out of emotion and reason, Chu Heng had to let him go.

Thinking of this, Chu Heng suddenly threw himself into Rong Zhen's arms, and Rong Zhen stepped back: "I'm covered in sweat."

"Then you are also my uncle, and I won't dislike you." Rong Zhen just finished his martial arts training, and his body is warm, which is especially suitable in the cool autumn morning. Rong Zhen knew that he was uncomfortable, and he couldn't bear to go to the battlefield but couldn't say anything , then pinched his soft little ears, leaned over and said in a low voice: "I can't tell, Xiao Heng'er has such a strong mouth, and likes the smell of sweat on my body."

All the melancholy that Chu Heng had just raised was washed away, and he quickly stood up straight and pushed him away, pouted: "Go take a bath quickly, you won't be afraid of catching a cold."

The two were like an ordinary couple, intimate and sweet, You'an and Baolin looked at each other and quietly backed away.

**

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace examination was also on the agenda, and Chu Heng and Rong Zhen had already set the examination questions.

On the day of the palace examination, Chu Heng changed into a black court dress and wore a crown on his head. He was majestic and dignified. He had grown taller in the past few months, reaching Rong Zhen's chin, and he had also gained some flesh. Although he looked slender, he did not Feeling weak.

After dressing up, he asked Rong Zhen: "Uncle Huang, how do I wear this?"

"Naturally, when others see you, they want to pay homage to you. As for me..." Rong Zhen paused, but didn't continue.

But Chu Heng already understood, and interrupted with a blushing face: "Don't talk about it."

Rong Zhen was full of smiles: "Xiao Heng'er, have you noticed that you know more and more, and you have a tacit understanding with me."

Chu Heng: "..."

He was so miserable that he couldn't tell, he was completely forced and helpless.

Being teased by Rong Zhen, Chu Heng's face was serious today, and he looked very serious. On the contrary, although Rong Zhen was wearing a python robe, his expression was relaxed, with a faint smile in his eyes.

The tribute students who came into the hall went to their positions according to their rankings like little chickens, and then paid homage to Chu Hengrongzhen: "See your majesty, the regent, long live your majesty, and the regent a thousand years ago."

"Pingshen." Chu Heng glanced at the crowd. The leader was this year's Hui Yuan Geng Qinghua. He had excellent posture and demeanor, and it was rare for someone to be handsome. No wonder Baolin praised him openly and secretly.

Geng Qinghua was also nervous, but he was still calm and composed. He could feel His Majesty Dan's gaze on him when he lowered his head. Wang Ru is as handsome as the rumors say, like a fairy.

After the Gongsheng students were seated, the eunuchs began to distribute the answer sheets. Baolin, as the servant in front of the palace, naturally had to distribute the answer sheets. .”

Baolin was originally afraid that Geng Qinghua would look down on him as an eunuch, but seeing his open eyes without any disgust, he liked him more and more. It was inconvenient for him to speak, and his eyes were bent into crescents.

After distributing the test questions and the examiner announced the precautions for answering the questions, the students picked up their pens and began to answer the questions.

Chu Heng's questions revolved around people's livelihood, and even at Rong Zhen's suggestion, he even came up with a simulated question about how to deal with floods in your next county.

This kind of novel question type has never been seen before. After hearing it, Chu Heng was amazed and wished he could get into Rong Zhen's head and figure out all the strategies for governing the country.

When Rong Zhen learned of Chu Heng's thoughts, he smiled inexplicably: "Are you sure that what I learned in my head will be a strategy for governing the country?"

Chu Heng was speechless for a long time.

Chu Heng was distracted thinking of this, and couldn't help but glance at Rong Zhen resentfully.

When Rong Zhen saw Chu Heng looking at him, he asked what was going on with his eyes, and Chu Heng said with his mouth: hooligan.

Rong Zhen couldn't help laughing, raised the corners of her lips, and responded in the same way: Don't you like hooligans?

Chu Heng glared at him, and didn't plan to answer any more, but how could Rong Zhen let him go: don't say that he will punish you.

Chu Heng opened his eyes wide. Rong Zhen had various methods of "punishing" him. He could only be forced to do so, and replied with a puffy face like a little daughter-in-law: I like it.

Rong Zhen comforted him with a smile: Good boy.

Fortunately, the tributes were answering nervously, not daring to raise their heads, otherwise they would surely see the majestic emperor they thought was being molested blushing, and dared not speak out.

There are a total of two hours for answering. If you finish answering early, you can leave early. After more than an hour, Geng Qinghua indicated that he had finished answering. The examiner hurried forward and collected all his answer sheets and presented them to Chu Heng.

Chu Heng said, "You can go to the side hall to rest and drink tea, or leave directly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Geng Qinghua bowed his knees, walked lightly, and left the hall.

The remaining Gongsheng students began to get nervous, and their answering speed was obviously faster.

When Geng Qinghua arrived at the side hall, Baolin said anxiously: "Geng Huiyuan, why did you hand in the paper so long in advance? Have you finished all the answers?"

"Don't worry, I've answered everything." Geng Qinghua had a relaxed posture, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and asked Baolin, "I don't know your name yet."

Baolin stammered, "I, my name is Baolin."

"Baolin." Geng Qinghua read it for a while and said with a smile, "It's a very blessed name."

Baolin laughed: "Thank you, Geng Huiyuan."

Chu Heng also sat for more than an hour, and his butt hurt a little. Fortunately, Geng Qinghua's answer sheet was presented, and Chu Heng quickly read it.

The entry is the neat and tidy style of the pavilion. Although the font is correct, it has its own style. Looking at the content, it is not full of gorgeous rhetoric, but pragmatic and concise. It is Chu Heng's favorite style. When he saw the last mock question, Geng Tsinghua's answer made him want to praise him even more. This person's answer to the question was excellent, which completely hit what Chu Heng thought in his heart.

Chu Heng even thought that based on this answer sheet alone, he could be hand-picked as the champion on the spot.

After Chu Heng finished reading it, he showed it to Rong Zhen, and Rong Zhen also nodded, indicating that it was good.

Two hours later, the examiners and eunuchs began to collect the papers. Some Gong students didn't dare to answer any more before they finished their answers.

Chu Heng doesn't need to look up all the examination papers one by one, Rong Zhen will lead someone to select ten excellent ones and present them to him, and Chu Heng can decide on the next best candidate after reading them one by one.

In the evening of the next day, Rong Zhen had already set ten answer sheets for entering the house, and Geng Qinghua's was indeed placed first. Chu Heng looked through the answers of the other nine and found that although their answers were not as perfect as Geng Qinghua's, But there are also merits. The most important thing is that the first thing they think of is to transfer the people and protect the safety of the people.

"This simulation question can continue in the future." Chu Heng was in a great mood, "It's the first year of this year, so it's a bit simpler. In the future, in order to prevent them from taking advantage of my loopholes, I can set it up more complicated."

"Xiao Heng'er is right." Rong Zhen said, "In the long run, students will not study hard, but put pragmatism first. But this is a subversion of the imperial examination, and Xiao Heng'er can be prepared to be criticized Prepare?"

After all, since ancient times, this kind of question has never appeared in the imperial examination. In case of complaints, how should Chu Heng deal with it?

Chu Heng really didn't think about this, so he thought about it carefully, and said to himself: "This matter is not difficult, if we can find a great Confucianist teacher from Great Chu who accepts it, let them advise students, and then spread this kind of teaching among the people. The benefit of the exam questions will probably be able to appease you."

Rong Zhen smiled and said, "Little Heng'er is becoming more and more like a king."

"Uncle Huang's praise." Chu Heng said, "If you don't want me to write a letter in hand, hand it over to all the famous teachers."

"can."

After Chu Heng made the first three candidates, he immediately asked You'an Yanmo to write a letter. He was really thinking about the state of Chu, so the letter was written sincerely and movingly. He wrote ten letters with his own hands and sent them six hundred miles away Sending it out urgently, although I was so tired that my wrist was sore, but I was very happy: "Uncle Huang, do you think they will agree to me?"

"Of course, no one will reject Xiao Heng'er." Rong Zhen rubbed his wrist, "When I was Zhen Heng, I also made friends with some of them. If they disagree, I have a way to solve it."

Chu Heng raised his head and kissed Rong Zhen very naturally: "I knew that Uncle Huang is powerful."

Rong Zhen smiled and kissed him back.

As expected, the exam questions were widely publicized, and the streets and alleys were discussed again. Some agreed and some opposed, but the common people trusted Chu Heng, and someone explained that the test questions were for the sake of the common people. The common people burst into tears of gratitude. Consecrate the Longevity Tablet and pray for God to bless Chu Heng with good health and a long life.

Then the Confucians all stood on Chu Heng's side, and with the support of the common people, these scholars also have family members. If they say at home that Chu Heng doesn't respect the sages, the family members will immediately roll up their sleeves and beat them up: "Reading, reading, reading for so many years." You have read it in the stomach of a dog, how dare you say that His Majesty is not good, I think you are itchy and twitching!

Afterwards, the top three were all announced, and the No. [-] pick that people were most concerned about was also settled. After consideration, Chu Heng even published the test papers of the three people in a book and sold them. The money earned was divided into half to the three people .

Geng Qinghua and the others had never encountered this kind of thing before. They could not laugh or cry with the money. The second place was a gentle man who was nearly thirty years old and from a poor family. Mingjun, I, I am His Majesty's man by birth and His Majesty's ghost when I die, I will do whatever His Majesty says!"

Geng Qinghua let out a long sigh of relief. Although he was not overwhelmed with gratitude, he already believed in Chu Heng as the master.

After seeing the answer to the last question of the three of them, the common people shouted at the top of their voices when they were parading on horseback: "Be a good official, we believe in you!"

The simple words touched them deeply. The three of them rode on the horse, tears filled their eyes, and their hearts were heavy.

Usually, teenagers parade freely and beauties throw flowers, but this year it is all brawny men shouting for support at the top of their voices, which can be regarded as a different kind of scenery.

Regarding this, Chu Heng showed a sly smile: "If you are responsible for the public opinion, you must be more cautious in your words and deeds. Serving the people wholeheartedly is an honor, but it is also a bondage."

The author has something to say: Governing the country is far from being so simple. This is just my shallow understanding. Babes just need to know that Xiao Henger is awesome, just call him! 2333
