To put it bluntly, today's test is just a proposition composition to see how the two perform on the spot.
If both of them performed well and were highly appreciated by Emperor Liang, then Song Huan would have nothing to say.
However, if the two of them tried their best and couldn't satisfy Emperor Liang, then they could only blame them for not being moral enough.
Hearing that Emperor Liang summoned him today was not for the Wenyuan Pavilion assessment, Zhao Xuanling let out a sigh of relief, his whole body went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.
As long as it’s not about the imperial examination, everything else still needs to be discussed!
However, Zhou Nan next to him did not have such good luck.
He felt his mind spinning and his ears buzzing, making him almost unsteady on his feet!
"Write……"
"Write an edict?"
Song Huan nodded solemnly: "Yes, it is to write an imperial edict."
"Although throughout the ages, edicts have been issued by the Holy One himself."
"But as an imperial envoy, he is far away from the capital, so he can only issue the edict on his behalf."
"Master Zhou, do you have any questions?"
When Zhou Nan heard this, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart!
What the fuck is wrong with this?
There are problems everywhere!
Who is going to explain to myself what the fuck is called a fucking edict? !
He has lived for almost thirty years and has no idea what an edict is!
Not to mention how to write this edict!
And the most important thing is that the total number of words I can write back and forth is no more than a hundred!
How can you write an imperial edict with just these one hundred words?
Writing a suicide note is not enough!
Damn it, the third prince, didn't he repeatedly declare to himself that after becoming a bachelor, all he had to do was give a few words of advice to Emperor Liang at the right time?
He didn't say that this bachelor's degree would take one test every three days and one test every five days, and he would have to write articles every now and then!
At this moment, Zhou Nan finally understood why the third prince tried his best to stop him from nominating himself as an imperial envoy when he first came to court.
It turned out that it was because of such a reason!
If I had known this, I wouldn't have been such a showy person just now!
Zhou Nan regretted it in his heart, but it was too late!
Seeing that Zhou Nan and Zhao Xuanling were silent, just lowering their heads and thinking about something, Emperor Liang instantly became very unhappy and his face turned red.
Just now, he was very active in the court, but when he came in front of him, he turned into a quail, so scared that he didn't dare to say a word!
How dignified!
Seeing that Emperor Liang's face was a little unhappy, Zhao Xuanling, who took a while to recover, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister is ready."
"Testing can start anytime!"
After saying that, Zhao Xuanling did not forget to glance sideways at Zhou Nan.
If I remember correctly, this Zhou Nan should be illiterate and can't even read a few Chinese characters!
Want to compete with yourself for the position of imperial envoy?
None of them!
Let’s see how he keeps pretending when his secret is exposed in front of the Holy One!
Zhou Nan already felt the pressure coming towards him, and when Zhao Xuanling glanced at him like this, he felt even more angry and anxious!
I was already very restless inside, and now this person named Zhao is here to cause trouble again!
If he could escape this disaster by luck, he would never let him off lightly in the future!
but……
Let’s wait until later to talk about the future.
How to pass the Liang Emperor's test is the top priority now!
Zhou Nan lowered his head, feeling Emperor Liang's oppressive gaze, and swallowed hard.
"Your Majesty, I am a minister..."
"Wei Chen feels a little urgent to urinate. I wonder if I can go to the latrine first..."
Zhou Nan wasn't even joking when he said this. He was so nervous at this moment that he felt like he couldn't control himself at all.
But as soon as these words came out, both Emperor Liang and Song Huan instantly burst into laughter!
Looking at this talented person in front of him, Song Huan admired him even more!
The Ninth Five Emperors who faced Daliang could all come up with the move of urine escape. It must be said that this Zhou Nan is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime talent!
Although he is very shameless and despicable, if he wants to succeed, he must have such shameless and despicable people under him.
It's a pity that his partner is Song Liang.
If this person can be used for himself...
Thinking of this, Song Huan's eyes suddenly lit up.
yes!
Why didn't you think of that before?
If he could make this Zhou Nan work for him, then he would have two bachelors in Wenyuan Pavilion.
Seeing that Emperor Liang frowned and was about to get angry, Song Huan immediately said: "Father, as the saying goes, people have three urgent needs!"
"Master Zhou has come all the way from Guizhou. Facing your majesty, it is inevitable that he will feel nervous."
"What's more, not everyone can write an edict casually, especially when people are in urgent need, it will affect their performance."
"To be honest, my son is not feeling very well in his stomach at this moment..."
Having said this, Song Huan scratched his head pretending to be guilty.
Emperor Liang was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed helplessly.
"Old Fourth, Old Fourth, I really don't understand you sometimes!"
"Go quickly. When you come back, the test will start immediately!"
"yes!"
Song Huan bowed slightly and strode towards the door.
Zhou Nandun stood there, stunned for a long time, and then he realized what he was doing and ran out as if running away.
Sure enough, not far from the imperial study, Song Huan was standing there waiting.
Seeing Zhou Nan walking out without a care in his heart, Song Huan smiled faintly.
"Master Zhou, are you sweating profusely?"
Zhou Nan really didn't know what kind of medicine Song Huan was selling in this gourd. After the mental torture just now, he was already exhausted mentally and physically and was extremely tired.
Facing Song Huan, he had no intention of guessing anymore and could only bow deeply to Song Huan.
"That day in Huixian Yage, the lower-level officials spoke unscrupulously and offended me in many ways!"
"Please punish me, Prince Rong!"
Song Huan shrugged: "Isn't it the first time that you and I meet today?"
"Is there anything I can't do to you that I can't forgive you for?"
Zhou Nan's expression was on the verge of collapse.
"If His Highness wants to kill or behead him, no one named Zhou will complain at all!"
"I just ask Your Highness to stop tormenting me. I really can't stand it anymore!"
In front of Emperor Liang, it was like tying your head to the waistband of your pants, with the risk of falling off anytime and anywhere.
Life like this is simply worse than death. If I had known if I had known it, I would have gone to Beijing to become a bachelor without any shame!
Wouldn't it be nice for him to stay in Lingnan and live peacefully?
Seeing Zhou Nan's face full of pain and sorrow, Song Huan knew that this guy was really cornered.
"If I am not mistaken, Master Zhou bought this official title and has just learned calligraphy."
"That collection of poems was also written by someone else."
"And the answer sheet for the preliminary examination was naturally written by someone else!"
"Master Zhou, is there anything I said that is wrong?"
Zhou Nan's eyes were a little dull. He didn't expect that Prince Rong could guess so accurately that he was completely correct!
He was racking his brains, thinking about how to refute, when he saw Song Huan smiling and saying, "I have already guessed these things. If I wanted to expose you in front of my father, I would have told you everything just now."
"However, instead of exposing you in front of my father, I will tell you how to write this edict."
"Of course, I also have conditions."
Having said this, Song Huan looked directly into Zhou Nan's eyes and said word by word: "I want you to follow me from now on, and by the way, I can find out Song Liang's plan for me!"
