I engaged in modernization in ancient times

The saint's birthday came as scheduled in a few days.

Because this time, the students who were nominated for the gold list will be invited to a banquet at the same time, so the scale is naturally very large.

Naturally, there were many discussions in the marketplace.

The disciples of the Son of Heaven really deserved to be the disciples of the Son of Heaven, and they were able to attend the banquet of the saints as soon as they entered the official position.

envy the dead.

For a time, the imperial examination system was also pushed to a new height.

The students attending the banquet were extremely excited, and they bathed and changed their clothes early.

Mo Shaoheng also reported to the internal control officer.

The internal control officer looked at the number of people reported by Mo Shaoheng, and thought that Mo Shaoheng made a mistake.

"My lord, did you get the number wrong?"

He must have made a mistake. He read it several times, and it was definitely not dazzled.

Mo Shaoheng said, "That's right, it was reported a long time ago, why don't you check it out?"

The internal system officials had to report it layer by layer, and finally heard that they had to go to the saint to ask for instructions, so it was approved.

Mo Shaoheng walked around a lot for this matter.

Although there are only two hundred children, the number is too many.

When Mo Shaoheng led a group of people in: "..."

A group of small shopkeepers were also too excited.

"This is our Imperial Palace in Beiliang?"

"The stairs are so long, and the steps are so beautiful."

Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, of course it has grown, it is a symbol of imperial power.

A group of small shopkeepers looked around without blinking.

If someone asks about it in the future, they will also be small shopkeepers who have entered the palace.

Mo Shaoheng took his people to prepare early.

Then he went to pick up Zhao Jingcheng and a group of students.

When the work is over, it's almost time for the banquet.

The location of the banquet was set in the imperial garden of the palace because there were too many people.

The officials sat upright, for fear of losing their etiquette.

Mo Shaoheng was also sitting next to Zhao Di.

Zhao Di looked at Mo Shaoheng suspiciously, "It's been a busy day, what are you busy with?"

Mo Shaoheng replied, "Prepare a birthday gift for the saint."

"Today is guaranteed to surprise the saints."

The lights were dim.

Not long after, the palace official who informed him shouted loudly, "The sage has arrived!"

Everyone stood up and greeted the saint.

The saint looks less severe today than in the past, but equally serious.

Walking over in a hurry.

"Everyone, sit down."

Then he asked, "Why hasn't the dish been passed on yet?"

It stands to reason that the good dishes will be passed on before he comes, and when he comes, the banquet will just start.

The palace servant in charge glanced at Mo Shaoheng, and then replied, "Your Majesty said, he will preside over today, um, he will be on duty."

He was also in a hurry, but he couldn't do anything if Shizi stopped him from passing on the dishes.

He also said that he was responsible for the matter.

The son is now a celebrity in front of the saint, and he can't afford to offend him, no, he waited until now with fear.

The saint froze for a moment as he sat down, and glanced at Mo Shaoheng from the corner of his eye.

I saw that Mo Shaoheng happened to salute the saint, and then walked towards the middle.

Because of the saint's arrival, although there were many people, it was extremely quiet. At this time, he couldn't help but look at Mo Shaoheng, the only one who still dared to walk on the field.

what happened?

Mo Shaoheng cupped his hands and said, "The sage is here, the dinner begins."

"Everyone, let us count down to the opening of the dinner and celebrate the saint's birthday together."

Everyone: "..."

What the hell?

Mo Shaoheng was up to something again.

Even the sage was watching with interest what Mo Shaoheng was doing.

Of course, there were also people who wished that Mo Shaoheng's car would overturn. In front of so many people, after going through such a toss, once something went wrong, Mo Shaoheng must be rewarded.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a drum sounded.

The drums are very soft, but because everyone is very quiet, they can be heard clearly.

"Dong dong!"

The sound of the drums is getting louder and faster.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help looking over.

"..."

I don't know when it was already filled with a group of armored soldiers!

They were indeed little soldiers, all of them childish, their little faces stretched forward in excitement.

How funny.

Everyone: "..."

"Boom boom boom!"

The drumbeat is getting faster.Huo Ran, who played the drums, was Zhao Jingcheng and other students.

They have been learning the piano from Mo Shaoheng for almost two years. Even if they fish for three days and hang nets for two days, they are already very familiar with the rhythm.

"Boom!" The rapid drumbeat suddenly left a sound, as if it had stopped.

"Boom." Another sound.

However, the voice of a child in uniform came, "Ten!"

what?

Everyone was a little confused.

Because they were standing neatly, like an "army" of small people, suddenly someone squatted down.

It just so happened that these people's positions were lower than theirs, so they could see clearly.

I saw that the protruding part of the whole team showed a word "ten".

And react.

"Boom!"

"Nine!"

The sound of drums is like beating between human heartbeats.

"Boom!"

"Eight!"

There were figures one after another, some stood up, some squatted down, clearly displaying the words in everyone's eyes.

In a daze, countless people opened their mouths, unable to make a sound.

What Mo Shaoheng said just now, let's count down together to welcome the beginning of the banquet.

They understand now.

Look, a little excited.

In a daze, the dinner party that had not yet started was pushed directly to the hot spot.

The corner of the saint's mouth couldn't help twitching.

This Mo Shaoheng, what is going on in his head all day.

However, it feels quite special, and today was supposed to make everyone lively.

Heh, look at the people around who were so shaken that they couldn't close their mouths, it's not too lively.

Accompanied by the beat of the drums, the two hundred small shopkeepers also had an indescribable momentum, some of the blood of a general on the battlefield.

There was no pause in the sound of the drums and the peddler.

"Five, four, three, two!"

"one!"

"Boom!"

The sound was turned off, and the audience was stunned because there was no other sound at all.

"The banquet has begun, pass the dishes." The voice of Mo Shaoheng, who was on duty, came.

"My lords, please take your seats."

At this time, everyone reacted.

For a while, he didn't know what to say about Mo Shaoheng, and he was too good at making troubles.

However, there is also a feeling of being unique. They have participated in banquets before, but they have never seen such a special beginning.

Dishes are served.

It turned out that the palace man on duty wiped off a cold sweat unconsciously, and finally completed the task.

Follow the process.

It should be time to give a gift.

It stands to reason that it should start with Prince Zhao Lan.

Zhao Lan, who was punished to study in the Imperial College, hadn't shown his face for a long time, but he was there today.

Zhao Lan stepped forward and asked someone to bring up a box of books.

The one who stepped forward with him was the princess.

"Saint, this is the classics of the sages that my son copied day and night. I wish the saint good health and longevity than Nanshan. I wish me a cool north, peace and prosperity."

Mo Shaoheng couldn't help stretching his head. If Zhao Lan really copied such a large box of books, he has really worked hard for the past six months.

I'm afraid this hand is going to be scrapped.

The sage does not like extravagance, and his ceremony also expresses that he has already reflected on himself.

It still looks a little pathetic.

Sitting next to the sage was Zhao Lan's biological mother, Queen Wang. The queen looked at the sage, "Sage, look at how filial this child is. With such a box of books, I'm afraid he will have to copy them day and night for half a year."

Only then did the sage nod his head, "I have patience, but don't just copy the books for profit, but don't really understand the meaning of the words of the sages."

Zhao Lan hurriedly cupped her hands, "I will always remember the teachings of the sages."

Mo Shaoheng kept winking at Zhao Di, seeing that other people would probably climb up the pole.

Half a year has passed since the first crime, and the sage's anger has almost dissipated, so he just took advantage of the celebration of the sage's birthday banquet today to offer his money in one fell swoop.

It can't be said that the sage was relieved of his original punishment when he was happy.

After all, Zhao Lan was the crown prince, who had been deprived of the right to participate in politics for more than half a year, and had been staying quietly in the Imperial College. The punishment was severe enough to make people reflect on their past, and the queen and the princeling faction coordinated from the sidelines.

Mo Shaoheng frowned. Zhao Lan was finally "closed" for more than half a year. He didn't come out to be a demon, and he was also kept clean for more than half a year. Could it be that he is really about to be released?

Sighed a lot.

After Zhao Lan, it was naturally Zhao Di who offered the gift.

Zhao Di stepped forward, but didn't speak yet.

At this time, Zhou Zheng'an, the imperial historian, said, "Why did King Yan come forward alone?"

"For this gift, the unmarried prince naturally stepped forward alone, but the old minister doesn't understand that King Yan is like this?"

Everyone: "..."

The corner of Mo Shaoheng's mouth twitched, this Zhou Zheng'an, wished to see him and Zhao Di "harmonious as husband and wife" and "inseparable".

It is estimated that I can eat two more bowls of rice.

Not to mention, Zhou Zhengan did see Zhao Di and Mo Shaoheng "reluctantly" together, so he could live a few more years.

Mo Shaoheng had no choice but to stand up. The gift he prepared was meant to be presented later, because his gift was a bit long and would interrupt other princes' presents, so he didn't go with Zhao Di.

The two stood in the middle.

Everyone: "..."

There's really no sense of incongruity at all.

What a beautiful picture.

It feels like... not bad. I didn't hear anything happened between King Yan and Mo Shaoheng. Instead, I heard it from hearsay. I heard that several beds collapsed. I don't know if it's true. There are also those factories that are being repaired more and more.

The family has a big business and is constantly expanding.

Zhou Zhengan could not help but feel "gratified" on his face.

Zhao Di took out the prepared gift, which was a memorial.

It says that the progress of the canal construction will reach the outside of Liangjing by the beginning of spring.

The sage had a smile on his face, and all the ministers also smiled.

They built a canal for Beiliang. The previous dynasty was not completed, and the previous dynasty also failed to do it, but at their time, it was done.

A thing that lasts forever.

Now, they are going to repair to the gate of Liangjing, can you not be happy?

In other words, according to plan, the canal has been half completed.

Probably Zhao Lan's face became a little unnatural. Originally, such glory should belong to him, and he should celebrate with the saint and all the adults.

"The king of Yan has handled this matter safely."

"Yeah, I've never heard of any trouble over the canal."

"If it wasn't for King Yan's report today, we would have forgotten that there is still such a thing we need to worry about."

Hand over the errand to Yan Wang, and it will be done quietly, unlike other people who ask for credit, they like to cause troubles and catch people's attention when they have nothing to do.

Lively, fussy toddler with milk to eat.

Then his eyes fell on Mo Shaoheng.

With Mo Shaoheng and Zhao Di, one gift would be enough.

But Mo Shaoheng is the eldest son of Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, and he will inherit the title of Zhenbei King in the future.

So you have to prepare a gift.

Mo Shaoheng hesitated for a moment, and said, "To the saint, the gift I prepared is a bit long, and I originally planned to present it at the end."

"If you offer it at this time, I'm afraid it will delay other princes' offerings."

Everyone: "..."

The gift... a bit long?

How do you say this?

The sage was also taken aback, and said, "It doesn't matter."

How long can it be?It can also be extended from the courtyard to the outside.

Even so, it took a lot of time.

Everyone was too curious.

It's just that no one thought that Mo Shaoheng's gift was a bit long, it took more than an hour.

Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, it doesn't matter if the saint has said it, he has no reason to delay.

Said, "Then invite the sage and all the adults to watch the minister's gift while eating."

Everyone has not had time to react.

The surrounding light was a little darker, because Mo Shaoheng had people extinguish some of them, leaving only some lanterns that could be seen.

On the contrary, the table in front is so bright that people can see it clearly.

The same group of small shopkeepers stood neatly on it, this time, they were used as the background board.

Originally, this program didn't need these, but it's rare to come to the palace once, let them stand opposite to see the saint more.

Before them were Zhao Jingcheng and other students.

Everyone: "..."

What is this doing again?

Even the saint could not help but be full of doubts.

"when!"

At this time, a voice came from the stage, it was the sound of a gong.

"Please enjoy the play, "Bao Gong Handles the Case"." Mo Shaoheng's voice came.

He prepared this drama because the imperial examination officials also had to attend the saint's banquet. After this time, they would be assigned to serve in various places by the court.

Mo Shaoheng's original intention was to celebrate the saint's birthday on the one hand, and let them know how to be an official.

Everyone: "..."

What drama?

Only listening to Mo Shaoheng's voice continued, "It is said that in my Northern Liang, Kaifeng, there is a parent official named Bao Zheng. This person is honest and good at solving strange cases, and protects the safety of the party."

"Today, in front of the Kaifeng County Yamen, there was a woman beating a drum to express her grievances. I don't know why?"

Following Mo Shaoheng's voice, drums beat on the stage.

The sound of this drum is the same as that of the Yuan Drum in Beiliang County Government Office.

Everyone's thoughts could not help but be placed on the stage.

"Bao Gong Handles the Case" is adapted from "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness".

Among them, it mainly revolves around Bao Zheng's handling of strange cases for the common people. In addition to Bao Zheng, there are also distinctive characters such as Zhan Zhao, Dynasty Ma Han, and Chinchilla Bai Zhantang.

For example, today's incident is a shocking case involving a woman who lost her child.

The trafficked children played by Douzi are very vivid.

It was the first time for everyone to see this type of performance on stage.

So it was kind of weird at first.

But I was immediately attracted by the plot again.

Because...it's so wonderful.

The "Child Abduction Case", in which a single woman lost her child, unexpectedly involved a collective criminal organization behind the scenes, which is disgusting.

This collective crime organization involved officials ordered by the imperial court, and thus turned to "The Case of Buying and Selling Officials".

"The Case of Buying and Selling Official Positions" also involves the "Imperial Examination Impersonation Case", which is also considered to catch current events, and it also makes the court more aware. There are many loopholes in the imperial examination system that can be exploited.

One by one.

In the end...it turned to the court, the "Case of Corruption of Ministers" and other shocking and shocking cases.

How a small local county magistrate followed the clues and revealed the truth to the world step by step.

How upright and selfless.

In the face of evil, he is not afraid of power and only seeks justice.

The image of a Qingtian parent officer is vividly displayed in front of everyone.

It shocked the souls of everyone present.

One is to be shocked by the bizarre and gripping suspense of the story.

The second is that he was shocked by Bao Qingtian's selflessness.

Officer, a good parent officer, should be like this.

It seems to explain what is the real parent officer.

The curtain call is already on the stage.

A chorus of neat and shocking singing, "There is one in Kaifeng, Bao Qingtian, stern and selfless, distinguishing loyal and traitor..."

Shock the soul!

When the curtain call ended, there was no sound from the whole scene.

It was supposed to be a program to watch while eating, but in the end, no one touched the food on the table.

It's all because the story is so bizarre, it's too sinking into it.

Good people are really good, and evil people are so bad that it makes people gnash their teeth.

Mo Shaoheng thought, well, wait for someone to reheat the food, otherwise everyone will have to eat cold food for a good banquet.

He said, put his program at the end.

Mo Shaoheng said, "Saint, this is the birthday gift I prepared."

"I wish the saints a long life and boundless life. May I be an official in Beiliang who is honest and upright. I can truly be an official who does good things for the people and does practical things to protect the parents of one side."

"This is also a gift I gave to the officials who took the first imperial examination in Beiliang. I hope this can be used as a lesson. Don't let down the teachings of sages and sages you have studied hard in the cold window."

The crowd came to their senses.

"Okay." The saint actually praised loudly.

As if it wasn't enough, he said again, "What a Bao Qingtian who is good at solving strange cases."

"If I am an official in Beiliang, everyone is like this, how can I worry about Haiyan and Heqing in Beiliang, and a day when the country is peaceful and peaceful."

Really excited.

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

It's a good thing he didn't dare to bring up the "The Case of Changing the Civet Cat for the Prince" on the stage, otherwise the saint might not have such an expression.

In the plot, there are dog-headed guillotines specially given by Kaifeng to kill common people who committed crimes, and tiger-headed guillotines prepared for civil and military ministers who broke the law, but the dragon-headed guillotines are missing.

The dragon head guillotine was beheading the emperor's relatives and relatives, which represented the idea that the prince broke the law and the common people were guilty of the same crime.

As long as Mo Shaoheng wasn't impatient with life, he wouldn't dare to mention it.

The excitement of the ministers and sages is the same.

Even a treacherous minister would probably be shocked by such a form of expression and the charisma of the character.

It's like watching a TV series, where villains also watch heroic dramas.

The sage took a deep breath and said, "Just now you said that Bao Zheng is the parent official of Kaifeng in Northern Liang?"

"When did I have a Kaifeng boundary in Beiliang?"

The corner of Mo Shaoheng's mouth twitched, and he replied, "Reporting to the saint, this is a drama, which is the same as the market storybook."

"It's just a different form of expression."

The saint gave a merciful cry, that's why.

He was still thinking, if there really was such an official, how could he not know about it.

It's a pity that such a parent official is not in Beiliang.

But the significance of this drama is so great, and the sage also understands it in his heart. Just look at those dumbfounded officials and you will know that it has definitely left an indelible memory in their hearts.

It turns out that the officials of Beiliang should be like this!

It even made other officials straighten their backs.

They also have to set an example for these officials who have just started, although they usually say that they can't be the same as the bad guys in the drama.

But now, those officials are looking at them adoringly.

They have to straighten their backs, and they all have backbone when they are officials.

The saint is still sighing, "A drama!"

Then he said to the darkened stage, "Let that...that Bao Zheng come forward."

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

There was no such thing in his plan.

But since the sage wants to meet, he will arrange it.

I'm afraid that it will destroy Master Bao's image in everyone's mind.

A...a little fat man who was too dark stepped forward.

Just now on the stage, the lights were flickering, and everyone felt that Bao Zheng was a little darker, but the half moon on his forehead was particularly dazzling, but they didn't feel anything.

As a result, when I got closer, I found that it was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Bao Zheng" was obviously excited, "Saint, it's me, Jing Cheng."

Chubby rubbed his hands together.

saint:"……"

Everyone: "..."

Zhao Jingcheng?

Zhao Jingcheng was a little shy: "My face is covered with ash from the bottom of the pot. I can't see it clearly. The teacher said that this is the halo of the protagonist, and no one else has it."

At the same time, he did not forget his little friends, "Nan Yi played Zhan Zhao, Fan Shen and Zhao Yuning played Chao Ma Han..."

The appearance of Zhao Jingcheng, the little fat man, is indeed suitable for the role of Bao Zheng. Anyway, if the bottom of the pot is a little dusty, his own mother will not recognize it.

The saint said after a while, "You are not bad."

"It's all good."

Even after knowing that the background board at the back was Mo Shaoheng's peddlers, and that the kidnapped child was also a peddler named Dou Zi, the saint even ordered someone to cook a dish for these peddlers.

Mo Shaoheng also smiled.

I got the imperial gift.

It will be enough for these little peddlers to brag about for a lifetime in the future.

Today is not in vain.

After being rewarded with a starring role, the sage said to Mo Shaoheng, "From now on, every time you choose an official in the imperial examination, you...you will arrange a stage for them in this drama."

"Also let them know what a parent officer is."

Mo Shaoheng quickly accepted the order.

I didn't expect to mix up such an errand.

Is this errand okay?

Naturally, it is good, which is equivalent to... having contact with all the officials who have entered the imperial examination, and guiding them how to become officials.

Although the drama ended, but everyone did not break away from the drama, and there were many discussions.

There are bizarre ones discussing the plot, and some discussing the way of character as an official.

There are also discussions on this strange drama form, which feels a little too interesting.

The scene was very lively.

Since Mo Shaoheng has taken over today's duty, he will naturally be responsible to the end and ask someone to heat up the food.

I'm afraid everyone didn't react, more than an hour passed.

By the way, Mo Shaoheng also went to see his little shopkeeper.

It stands to reason that after the performance, the little shopkeepers would have to leave the palace, but now the saints are rewarded, they have to eat before leaving.

All the little shopkeepers were so excited that they spoke incoherently, and looked at Mo Shaoheng with their small faces.

"My son, my son, we saw a saint just now."

"My son, did the sage look at us just now?"

Mo Shaoheng laughed, and said "En", "The saint praised you just now, you are all good."

A group of small shopkeepers, "Huh?"

Mo Shaoheng smiled and said, "Eat obediently later, and wait for me to send you out of the palace."

After saying a few more words, Mo Shaoheng returned to the banquet, and the banquet had actually just begun.

He also has a very meaningful matter that needs to be brought up today.
