I see how charming the emperor is

The dragon chair made of gold shone brightly in the sunlight, and the twelve beads hanging from Chu Yan's forehead covered his dark eyes.

Touching the dragon's head with his fingertips, Chu Yan stood on the high platform and turned around suddenly, "Since the old man needs me to make a decision, then I... will not refuse."

Luo Cheng, you said it yourself, and all the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty heard it clearly.

You don't regret it.

Chu Yan's expression was secretive, and the sun was casting a halo on his head, which seemed holy and unattainable.

But the aura of the whole person made all the ministers feel cold.

Today's Majesty seems to be a different person.

"I won't wrong a good person, and naturally, I won't let anyone who endangers my Dasheng society."

Chu Yan sat on the dragon chair, and all the officials bowed down.

"Your Majesty is wise, after the comparison of Dali Temple, the accusations against Li Shangshu in that file are all true."

There are too many moths in the court, and it should be cleaned up.

The law of the country is greater than the sky, even if His Majesty wants to cover up, he will definitely admonish him with death.

"Since it is true, according to my Dasheng law, I can deal with it as I want!"

"I will never show favoritism."

A deep and powerful voice came from behind the bead curtain, hitting the hearts of all the officials, causing a stormy sea.

For a while, the hall was so silent, and no one dared to stand out in both civil and military lines.

They couldn't guess the intention of the man in the temple.

"Your Majesty has such courage, it is really a blessing to Dasheng, but the imperial examination is coming soon, there is no vacancy for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, why not..."

Before Luo Cheng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ji Daonian.

"Why don't you continue to replace your disciples?"

Luo Cheng has become a popular figure in the court, and it is not an exaggeration to say that power is in the hands of the court and the public. If this continues, the emperor's power will decline, and there may be turmoil.

The only person who dared to confront Luo Cheng face to face in the court was Ji Daonian.

This person came from a poor family, and he never looked down on hereditary nobles. In addition, he solved the case quickly and won the hearts of the people, so he was firmly seated as the top leader of Dali Temple.

The gods fight, the little ghosts retreat, and the officials keep silent. They don't want to be cannon fodder.

Seeing Luo Cheng's uneasy expression, Ji Daonian became even more aggressive.

"Then continue selling officials and nobles?" Ji Daonian turned his voice and looked up at him, "Shoufu, your disciple is corrupt and accepts bribes, so you don't know anything about it?"

Wei Xianchong raised his eyebrows thickly, as expected of Dali Temple Minister, this combat power is not bad, it was not in vain to waste most of the night.

"Elder Ge has always been upright, I naturally believe in him, but as for the disciples of Elder Ge, it's better to be restrained."

Chu Yan said very clearly, no matter whether this matter has anything to do with you, Luo Cheng, don't even think about the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Glancing at Luo Cheng's face as black as a pan, Chu Yan added, "After all, if this happened, Old Man Ge's face would be ashamed."

It's not embarrassing, he has held back for a long time.

This matter can go so smoothly, thanks to this dossier.The criminal evidence that the imperial court could not find out unexpectedly appeared in Wanhualou.

Why do you have the urge to recruit Tianji Pavilion?

Thinking of this, Chu Yan thought of Xiao Che standing in front of the stele in the rainy night, his lonely back really made him feel distressed.

After letting go of his temper for a long time, Luo Cheng's face turned better. Isn't this little emperor always listening to himself the most?

What medicine did you take by mistake today?Is it because of what was discovered?

Luo Cheng's thoughts changed back and forth. It seemed that Li Sinian couldn't stay, but he absolutely couldn't get involved.

"This matter was negligent by the old minister, but the old minister really didn't know about Li Sinian's corruption and bribery."

Who is Li Sinian?Don't know, don't cue.

Chu Yan had expected that Luo Cheng would be able to come here a long time ago, and just bringing down a minister of the official department was not enough to shake Luo Cheng.

"I naturally know that the old man is loyal."

Chu Yan spoke hypocrisy.

"Since you love ministers have no objection to Li Sinian's matter, then deal with it according to the laws of the country——

Make a decision! "

The ministers: Don't dare to say anything, just do what you say.

Li Sinian is just the beginning. Although he doesn't like being emperor, the Dasheng country must not fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames.

"The imperial examination is a grand event in our dynasty. In addition to the imperial examination this year, I will personally supervise the imperial examination in Shengjing."

With him here, this year's imperial examination will be very lively.

The morning court ended perfectly, and the corners of Chu Yan's mouth curled up when he left the Golden Luan Hall, and he didn't even notice it.

I really look forward to seeing you next time.

Outside the examination room, A Lan, who was pretending to be a book boy, kept looking around. This examiner is really serious, and he has not let him go for so long.

The sun was shining brightly at noon, and there was no omission of yesterday's night rain.

Chu Yan didn't go out with much fanfare, but it only needs a little wind, and those who want to think carefully will have to weigh it carefully.

Dong Cunrui, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, sat at the table, scribbling ink on the scroll, his movements flowing like clouds, and he was a man of letters.

"Your policy theory is well written, but after reading the whole article, I have a question."

The book is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, empty and boring, but the writing is profound and hard work, so Dong Cunrui wants to give him another chance.

"Please, sir."

Li Li held his temper, obviously this strategy was written by someone else, there is no problem, why come here?

"What is virtue?"

"At the beginning it is morality, in the middle it is meritorious, and at the top it is yin virtue, which is extremely moral."

Fortunately, he read Lao Tzu's book last night, otherwise he really couldn't answer, this person is really annoying.

"Good memorization."

Dong Cunrui nodded, his voice changed, his face darkened, "You are out."

"My lord, why is this?"

Li Liren was stupid, didn't he know how to try this strategy?

"Why? You still have the face to ask why? This theory discusses Confucian benevolence, but your answer is Taoism. I'm afraid you haven't read this theory carefully."

Dong Cunrui directly threw the rice paper on the ground, his face was as black as ink, which showed that he was very angry.

"No, I've paid all the money, sir, you're almost done, how about I add some money?"

Li Li spoke lightly, and his indifferent tone directly caused Dong Cunrui to drop the inkstone.

"Articles are important affairs of the state, how can they be tarnished by such scumbags!"

Pointing at Li Li, Dong Cunrui was so angry that his face turned red and his body trembled slightly.

Being pointed at his nose and scolded, Li Li had never been wronged before.

"My father and you are both the third grade, why is it that you, the old man, don't know how to adapt?"

"That's why he appeared on the guillotine."

Chu Yan waved his folding fan and came late.

Li Li turned his back to him, naturally he didn't know who it was, and immediately replied, "Nonsense! My father is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who dares to cut off his head!"

With a son like this, Li Sinian would cry to death on Huangquan Road.

Chu Yan gaited leisurely, walked to the main seat, put away the folding fan, and all the people present bowed down.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..., Fang, just now, that was all a misunderstanding..."

Although he didn't know the emperor, the shining dragon robe almost blinded his eyes.

"Let's drag them to the guillotine together, I'm upset."

That appearance is really ugly and weeping at him.

Li Li sniffled and burst into tears, and was just about to get close to Chu Yan, but was kicked away by Wei Xianchong.

Wei Xianchong: That's right, he also worked part-time as the emperor's personal bodyguard.

Helping Dong Cunrui up, Chu Yan's eyes fixed on the white clothes, and it really was him.

"Get up, everyone. The chief examiner is Mr. Dong. I'm just listening."

Xiao Che was far away and didn't see the situation in the inner room clearly, but he always had the feeling of being watched.

"Next, Huarong Road, Liangzhou, Xiao Che."

The book boy read the name circled in cinnabar with a loud voice.

The white clothes are like snow, standing like a orchid and jade tree, and the gait is calm and steady, looking like a beautiful moon.

"Sir, please."

After bowing his hands together, Xiao Che raised his eyebrows.

"You are an interesting young man. Everyone calls me my lord. How did you become a gentleman here?"

This theory is the best he has seen so far, so naturally he favors Xiao Che a little.

"Mr.'s heart is not in fame and fortune. Calling your lord is humiliating you."

Dong Cunrui is a clean and honest official, he lives in a high place in the temple, he is worried about the people of the world, and he is not stained by mud, so he deserves his courtesy.

These words reached his heart, but because His Majesty was behind the curtain, Dong Cunrui's joy did not appear too obvious.

"I see that your policy theory is the same as the one just now, so I still ask the same question, what is virtue?"

Dong Cunrui looked serious, he was looking forward to the boy's answer.

After thinking for a moment with downcast eyes, Xiao Che gave the answer,

"It is a virtue to be able to win the battle and not let the soldiers die in vain; it is a virtue to govern the country to ensure the peace of the people and not make the people suffer from cold and starvation."

The scholars present either copied the sages or quoted the scriptures, but few of them could put themselves in their shoes and combine their ideas with Naruhito.

"In your opinion, Ren, is there any size?"

Dong Cunrui's voice trembled, and his eyes were full of longing for talents.

"Yes. Those with small benevolence are protecting innocent people; those with great benevolence are saving the world. The students think that benevolence, regardless of its size, is all kindness."

Xiao Che said it sternly, but when it comes to his true thoughts, he has never had anything to do with benevolence!

Touching his gray beard, Dong Cunrui showed a satisfied smile. Wouldn't it be beautiful for a young talent to be accepted as a closed disciple?

At this time, a note was handed over from behind, and Dong Cunrui knew it was His Majesty's handwriting at a glance, even his eyebrows trembled.

His Majesty wants to test the questions himself!

"I have one more question."

Dong Cunrui glanced at the note, his eyebrows trembled even more fiercely.

It is said that there are at most two questions in this round, so why is there an additional test?Xiao Che remained motionless, listening with lowered eyes.

"Excuse me, sir."

"If killing an innocent person can save thousands of people, should this person be killed or not?"

Isn't this embarrassing? How could there be such an exam question? After Dong Cunrui glanced at it, his gaze turned to the calm man in front of him.

In fact, he really wanted to know how Xiao Che would answer.

Of course they have to kill, and it is not a loss if one person is exchanged for ten thousand people, but to answer the question, it must not be answered like this.

Catching Dong Cunrui's small movements, Xiao Che raised his eyebrows, His Majesty really knows how to play.

"The world is not benevolent, and treats everything as a straw dog; the sage is not benevolent, and treats the people as a straw dog. If you really face such a choice one day, your majesty should first ask yourself why this situation happened."

It's not right to kill or not to kill, so simply avoid these two answers.

Cold sweat broke out on Dong Cunrui's forehead, he was young and frivolous, and dared to offend Tianyan and question His Majesty.

Guessing that Xiao Che would avoid the serious and ignore the minor, Chu Yan did not expect that he would turn the problem around and directly throw the problem back on himself.

The more I look at it, the more I am satisfied. It seems that the candidate for the emperor's teacher has been settled.

The bead curtain was raised, the disciples avoided, Chu Yan walked swiftly, his eyebrows raised, and he was in a rare good mood.

The author has something to say:
