I see how charming the emperor is

In the light of dawn, Xi Wei is bright enough, like the only light in Chu Yan's dark heart.

Last night, it was Archer who took care of his drunken self.

The sandalwood that belonged exclusively to Xiao Che remained on the warm bedding, Chu Yan's nose twitched, and he rolled on the dragon bed with joy.

He didn't despise himself.

"Your Majesty, it's time to change clothes. The imperial examination is about to begin."

Xiao Shunzi stepped into the hall, waved the dust, and the maids who were waiting for the emperor to wash came in one after another.

Behind the screen, the clothes rustled.

The body is covered by a gold-embroidered dragon robe with narrow sleeves sprinkled with thread, and a crimson gauze robe is wrapped around the outside. The hair is tied with a crown of heaven, and leather boots with jade belts.

Chu Yan turned around, the crown of jade beads hanging in front of his eyes, his brows were sharp, the bridge of his nose was straight, revealing the air of an emperor.

This has nothing to do with the poor little girl last night.

palace gate

The Gongsheng students who passed the examination gathered together and waited for the palace gate to open.

Fan Liben was holding a scroll in his hand, and was still reviewing in the spare time.

He studied hard for ten years, and he had a certain chance of winning the meeting, but Xiao Che took the lead when he didn't realize it.

Thinking of this, Fan Liben looked gloomy, and became even more hostile towards Xiao Che whom he had never met.

The student in the same list was about to go forward to comfort him, but was held back.

"Don't pay attention to him, he is depressed."

The cooked duck flew away, no one would be angry.

However, Fan Liben was born in a poor family, so he was not welcome by the children of these aristocratic families.

"If you are not really angry, go to the palace test to compare. It is not worthwhile to be sullen here."

As a good friend, Yan Shiheng persuaded him in time.

Relieving the gloom between his brows, Fan Liben buried his head in the books again.

"No matter how hard you learn, you can't catch up with Mr. Xiao, and you don't want to see who he is favored by."

There are also those who don’t think it’s a big deal to watch the excitement, but they are not good at academics, but they are very good at mentality.

"What do you mean by that?"

Fan Liben put away the scroll, it seemed that he didn't need to read this book.

"At the poetry meeting held by Ji Dacai, Xiao Che's poems caught Zhang Shangshu's eyes."

The implication is to tell Fan Liben not to work hard, the result is already set, so what's the use of struggling?

Fan Liben snorted coldly,

"His Majesty personally examines the questions in the Palace Examination, so what's the matter with Zhang Shangshu?"

Although the comments of Zhang Ruixue and other examiners are important, the decision-making power is still in the hands of His Majesty.

Tsk tsk, this person really believes in fairness in the officialdom.

The man smiled and left straight away. If it doesn't make sense, let's just wait and see what happens to him.

The Xuanwu Gate was wide open, and the Gongsheng students were led by eunuchs in batches. The long corridor seemed a bit congested at this time.

"Master stayed in the pharmacy all night last night, can today's palace test be done?"

It's not that A Lan doesn't believe in Xiao Che's level, it's just that his current state is really not very good.

"Don't worry, he won't let me lose the election."

Xiao Che was determined.

Him, who?

Under Alan's suspicious eyes, Xiao Che stepped into the tunnel again, but this time, he was the orphan of the Xiao family in Jinling.

The long corridor, which can't be seen at a glance, seems to be a treacherous court, and a little carelessness can tear people apart.

Xiao Che stopped in his footsteps and raised his eyes. This magnificent and splendid palace actually made him a little daunted.

His Royal Highness is full of bones, with countless pairs of black hands, trying to pull down every greedy person.

Trembling and trembling, walking on thin ice.

Stepping on the white jade Han steps, Xiao Che raised his green shirt, and his lacquered black hair was tied in the jade crown.

Pianpian noble son, air cover Cangwuyun.

The bronze bell rang through the main hall, and the palace examination began. Chu Yan sat behind the curtain, presided over by the appointed minister Zhang Ruixue, and all the cabinet members listened.

Chu Yan raised his arm, circled a few pre-planned test questions, and continued to be his mascot.

"The examiner distributes the test papers. If there are no mistakes, candidates are requested to answer immediately and hand in the papers before sunset. Candidates are requested to arrange their time reasonably."

Except for the crackling sound of rice paper being flipped, the hall was quiet and the fragrance of ink was overflowing.

Chu Yan saw Xiao Che with just one glance, among the crowd of students, he was the only one who stood out from the crowd.

Xiao Che, who was answering the question, was caught by a gaze, his brows were furrowed, and he tried to figure out who this person was with his toes.

This fellow Chu Yan couldn't be more peaceful.

□□Naked sight made Xiao Che feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, like a light on his back, like a thorn in his throat.

"What is that examinee doing? Looking around."

The ruler slapped on the table, causing quite a commotion, and pulled back Chu Yan who was distracted from watching Xiao Che.

The examiner was referring to Xiao Che.

Chu Yan was not happy now, before he could find a place for Xiao Che, he saw the green shirt curling up in front of him.

"Students have finished answering the exam questions and are preparing to hand them in."

There was only one strategy theory in the palace examination, and Xiao Che wrote it very smoothly.

Before sunset, the Gongsheng students handed in their papers one after another.

Official Mifeng handed over the test papers to the examiner in charge and then sent them to the East Pavilion, where the examiner went through a day's screening and presented three papers to Chu Yan.

These three people are Fan Liben who came from a poor family, Zhang Can from a noble family, and Xiao Che.

The first two Chu Yans didn't care, and asked a few casual questions, treating it as an errand.

However, Fan Liben is indeed talented. He expounded the current affairs of the dynasty from the perspective of a poor family, and had the courage to break the boat, which is rare and precious.

"The ten-year cold window is not in vain."

Chu Yan's words alone were enough to make Fan Liben excited and happy.

Looking up at Xiao Che with a plain face, Fan Liben couldn't hide his pride, his brows raised lightly.

When it was Xiao Che's turn, Chu Yan's eyes widened, and he continued with the previous question, "If killing one person can save thousands of people, should this person be killed or not?"

If it was said that he didn't understand Chu Yan's intentions last night, then Xiao Che, who went through the medical classics last night, had a clear understanding.

There is no cure for the Udala flower poison, and in the end, she went mad until she died. Everywhere she went was killing.

It would be fine if he was an ordinary person, but this person is an emperor who controls the power of the world. Once he goes crazy, it will be the people, the community, and Dasheng's century-old foundation that will suffer.

Chu Yan wanted to give himself the right to choose.

But the current Xiao Che can't make a decision at all, especially after knowing his past, he has a heart of sympathy and compassion.

The hall was quiet, Xiao Che wanted to avoid the important ones, but Fan Liben didn't give him this chance.

"It's nothing more than two answers. Why does Xiao Jun always talk about him?"

Xiao Che frowned, where did this person come from, did he think he wasn't hot enough?

"I just want results."

Chu Yan made a final decision, and Xiao Che couldn't avoid it.

Looking directly at the young man on the dragon chair, Xiao Che squeezed out an answer between his teeth, heavy but firm, "Kill!"

When that step really happened, Xiao Che would kill him.

His people witnessed the massacre and bloodshed from him with their own eyes, and the Dasheng Jiangshan that they worked so hard to prop up was buried in their own hands.

This is undoubtedly the cruelest punishment for a generation of emperors.

"Okay, I will remember."

Archer, remember your answer in the hall today.

If it is still impossible to escape the poison, I hope that at some point my heart beating for you will end with you.

Just take it as God's last mercy to me.

The four eyes met, Xiao Che's body trembled slightly, and his fists hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched.

Chu Yan laughed, and it seemed good to die in his arms.

Last night, Xiao Che's embrace was the warmest he had ever stayed in, and he just thought how nice it would be to live like this forever.

He didn't ask for much, just a little warmth was enough for him to savor half his life.

The two of them tacitly knew each other, and no one outside knew the weight in their hearts.

"Sun Taifu is old and frail, I feel deeply sorry, and I allow him to retire and return to his hometown."

Chu Yan was full of reluctance.

But Luo Cheng frowned, and his heart sank.

"I think Ah, Xiao Che is good, and you can take on the position of Taifu."

Chu Yan spoke casually.

Luo Cheng immediately objected, and he knew that the little emperor had nothing to do with it.

"Your Majesty, the post of Emperor Tutor is related to the country, how can this yellow-mouthed boy take on such a big responsibility?"

Solving doubts and answering questions, assisting the king, and expanding the territory, how could these things be left to young people who have not yet reached the crown.

Simply bullshit!

Chu Yan blinked,

"I remember the last time in the Tai Chi Hall, Luo Lao said that anyone I like can be an emperor teacher."

"I just fell in love with him."

Chu Yan pointed at His Highness Xiao Che, without backing down.

"The old minister said that he is an official in the court, Xiao Che has no official position."

No matter what, he will not give up the position of emperor teacher.

"This palace examination is nothing more than picking out the champions. Since Xiao Che can enter the palace, it is not difficult for him to be an official."

If there is no official position in the first three palace examinations, then what is the significance of this imperial examination.

"Your Majesty, the position of Emperor Teacher must be cautious."

This His Majesty thinks it out, the key point is not to repeat, Zhang Ruixue wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The young emperor is like this, he is very worried about the future Dasheng.

Chu Yan pondered for a moment, his black eyes glistened with cunning,

"Since my court selects officials through imperial examinations, there should also be examinations for selecting emperors. What do you think?"

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if Xiao Che was a genius, it would be difficult for him to solve all kinds of messy problems in the cabinet.

Questions that don't have answers, let's see how he can answer them.

"The old minister thinks it's very good."

Seeing Luo Cheng step half of his foot into the pit, Chu Yan's black eyes shone even brighter.

"Then it's up to me to decide."

Chu Yan answered the conversation quickly, not caring about Luo Cheng's darkened face at all.

Luo Cheng: Open the back door at the scene?

Your Majesty: As long as His Majesty is happy, at least let's go through the motions.

What's so good about this Xiao Che? Luo Cheng was full of disdain, and moved his eyes to the hall——

The young man has only a few green shirts, and his figure is as straight as a pine tree. Even in Vanity Fair, he is still calm and breezy.

Well, it is indeed comparable to when he was young.

"In ancient times, there were four joys. Rain comes after a long drought, and old acquaintances meet when you are in a foreign country. The night of weddings and candles in the bridal chamber, when you are named on the gold list. I want to know the corresponding four sorrows."

Xiao Che: This question is really water.

The emperor's teacher can be said to be the closest person to the king. He preaches and learns, studies scriptures, and accompanies him every day to achieve the effect of influence.

Isn't he afraid that he has other plans and will give him such an important official position?

"The widow weeps with her children, the general is captured by the enemy. Being out of favor with a court lady, the loss of rank lifts the hearts of the people."

Since Chu Yan wanted him to enter the palace, then he entered the officialdom.

The last sentence hits Fan Liben's heart directly. This is obviously biased. Is it really what a king of a country should do?

"Xiao Qing, I have won my heart."

Fan Liben was about to say something, but Chu Yan's words blocked his throat.

Luo Cheng still wanted to struggle, the official position of Emperor Teacher must fall to his disciples.

"In the final analysis, the position of Emperor Tutor is the most touching thing for His Majesty. Since it is His Majesty's choice, I congratulate Your Majesty for being a good teacher."

Zhang Can, who hadn't said a word, spoke out in support of Chu Yan.

Luo Cheng: ...

You have said all the good things.

The Zhang family's son-in-law will come to trouble, but haven't they always remained neutral?

Chu Yan lowered his eyes, he never believed that there was a good thing in the world.

The candidates for the emperor's teacher were finalized, and the number one scholar was naturally left to Xiao Che, and Chu Yan asked Zhang Ruixue to arrange the rankings of the other two.

At this time Zhang Ruixue was in a complicated mood, it was difficult for him to accept Xiao Che as a closed disciple, but he became an emperor teacher in a flash.

Accepting the emperor's teacher as an apprentice, he probably thinks his life is long.

After the palace examination was over, Luo Cheng was so angry that his beard trembled, he shook his sleeves and left.

When I was depressed, I met Xianghe from Fengqi Palace on a remote path.

"Master Shoufu didn't receive His Highness's letter yesterday?"

Xianghe asked directly, the look in his eyes was not friendly.

Luo Cheng recognized the eldest maid next to the eldest princess.

His majesty was hated by the emperor, and his highness was hated by the maids. He is shameless as the chief minister of the cabinet.

But if it's Chu Yu's person, then he should be more cowardly.

This woman is a lunatic who can do anything.

"Of course I received it."

"Then why does your lord keep obstructing His Majesty in the hall?"

Xianghe is aggressive.

Dare to disobey His Highness's order, does he not want to be the chief assistant of the cabinet anymore?

Luo Cheng paused,

"This fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders. It is better to hold the position of emperor teacher in the hands of our own people than to leave it to outsiders."

Chu Yu sent a letter last night, saying that no matter what choice Chu Yan made in the palace examination today, he would not let himself hinder it.

It's outrageous!

Seeing that he really didn't intend to disobey His Highness on purpose, Xianghe didn't bother him too much, and ended up saying, "In the future, I hope Mr. Shoufu will be cautious in his words and deeds, and abide by his duty."

The implication: Your role in the court is only to restrain Chu Yan, so don't take yourself too seriously.

Staring at the back of her leaving, Luo Cheng seemed to poke a hole, and jumped up in anger.

If it weren't for Lao Tzu's handle in your hands, and you still want to play with Lao Tzu, in your next life.
