When Cheng Zhiren heard Emperor Chongkang's heart-wrenching words, he couldn't help but burst into tears: "Your Majesty wants to implement the new law, how come I don't know about it? It's just that I'm not stupid. It's really that I can't bear to let Daxia fall into a situation of no return. emperor!"
"Now our Great Xia is in trouble, with internal and external troubles. We can no longer withstand the turmoil, Your Majesty! For the current plan, stability should be the first priority. Give the people time to restore the country and the country. Instead of trying to Implement change now!”
"I am by no means timid and afraid of difficulties. I am actually wholeheartedly working for the country. My loyalty can be seen from the sun and the moon, and I hope that the emperor will learn from it."
After hearing Cheng Zhiren's words, Emperor Chongkang couldn't help but sigh.
This bachelor of Cheng University is a capable minister. Otherwise, he would not be respected by the kings of the two dynasties.
However, its conservative nature has hindered the advancement of the new law.
Emperor Chongkang took a deep look at Master Cheng and said, "Cheng Aiqing, my country, Daxia, has accumulated so many hidden secrets that it is almost impossible to return."
"If we don't implement the new law, how long can we, Daxia, sustain it? In troubled times, heavy laws should be used, and strong medicines should be used for serious illnesses. Cheng Aiqing doesn't know this truth, right?"
"Cheng Aiqing is a veteran of two dynasties and a pillar of the country. What you have to do today is really disappointing to me!"
Bachelor Cheng knelt down and apologized: "I'm afraid, I will die! Your Majesty, please punish me."
Emperor Chongkang sighed and said, "That's all. You stand still and get all the test papers. I will read them again before I make any further calculations."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Looking at the back of Bachelor Cheng leaving, Emperor Chongkang's eyes were filled with seriousness.
This bachelor of Cheng University has been cautious all his life and has a sophisticated way of handling government affairs. Unfortunately, he is too stubborn.
Now it has become a stumbling block to the implementation of the new law. Let’s beat him today and see the consequences.
Not long after, more than 300 test papers were all brought in.
Emperor Chongkang looked at them one by one and threw aside all the test papers that did not support the new law.
After reading more than a dozen copies, Emperor Chongkang felt impatient. He couldn't help but ask: "Open the name, look for Jia Huan's paper, and bring it to me for a look."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The eight people quickly opened all the names and found Jia Huan's test paper, and then presented it to Emperor Chongkang.
There is no fear of destiny, no law of ancestors, and no sympathy for people's words.
As soon as he saw the first sentence, Emperor Chongkang couldn't help but marvel.
Then after reading the whole article, Emperor Chongkang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he felt that his heart was open.
"Good! This article is well-founded, has great literary talent, and has the talent to be number one. This article should be number one!"
Academician Zhu couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty has not read the articles of other candidates, and it seems biased to appoint the number one candidate at this time."
Emperor Chongkang smiled and said: "You don't need to read more, this article is unsurpassed! Zhu Aiqing, this article is copied to the Dibao, so that all the officials in Daxia can learn from it."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Academician Zhu sighed lightly, His Majesty's determination to implement the new law is unstoppable. This is definitely not a blessing for the country.
Jia Huan is a flatterer! If this son enters the court, he will definitely become a sycophant!
Emperor Chongkang designated the number one scholar, and all the rankings below him, including second place, third place, and second place, were all changed accordingly.
The candidates he selected and the articles they wrote were all in favor of the changes.
The ranking of the top three was determined by eight examiners.
Because of this incident, the release of results for the imperial examination had to be postponed by one day.
In the past few days, everyone in the Jia Mansion was waiting anxiously.
At this moment, everyone in the Jia Mansion knew that they would not fail in the palace examination, it was just a matter of ranking.
What the people of the Jia family are looking forward to now is whether the third master can be the top scholar in high school.
The release of the results for the palace examination was postponed for one day for some reason, which made the Jia family extremely anxious.
On the second day, a young eunuch suddenly came to announce that Jia Huan had entered the palace.
Jia Huan hurriedly changed his clothes and followed the little eunuch.
The panicked Mother Jia kept asking: "Hasn't the results of the palace examination not been released yet? Why is Brother Xuanhuan entering the palace now?"
Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Grandma, it is said that the top ten candidates in the palace examination will be received by His Majesty. When it is announced that Brother Huan will enter the palace, Brother Huan must be among the top ten."
Mother Jia asked nervously: "Brother Huan is only in the top ten? Didn't he get the top prize?"
Lin Daiyu explained: "Grandma, the number one scholar is naturally among the top ten. Brother Huan may not be the number one scholar."
Jia Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I see, Brother Huan is a lucky man, and he will definitely win the top prize!"
"Our martial arts family has a shallow background and doesn't know much about these things. But with experience this time, we will know everything next time when we are in Baoyu High School."
Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, but said in her heart: The old lady was indeed coaxed by Brother Huan, the big-faced girl wants to win the number one prize? I'm afraid I won't be able to wait in this life.
Wang Xifeng joked from the side: "Brother Huan won the number one prize, and my ancestor is the grandmother of the number one prize! Brother Huan won the number one prize, but it was because of his ancestors. When the time comes, he will have to build a memorial memorial for his ancestors." .”
Jia Mu laughed and scolded: "You little girl, you are just talking nonsense again. Brother Huan won the first prize, so he will build a first prize arch in front of the door. How can there be any reason to build a memorial arch for grandma?"
Let's say that Jia Huan and others entered the palace and waited for more than an hour before being summoned by the emperor.
Among these ten people, Jia Huan actually saw another acquaintance, Liu Changqing, which surprised Jia Huan.
He didn't expect that Liu Changqing was also among the top ten.
Liu Changqing was not surprised at all. Jia Huan was among the top ten, which was completely normal.
Being in the palace, the two of them did not dare to say much, but only exchanged a few glances with each other.
The ten people waited for more than an hour before being summoned by His Majesty.
After the meeting, Emperor Chongkang encouraged everyone but did not say a word to Jia Huan.
…
At this time, the list has been filled in, and the bright yellow long list is posted and hung outside the palace gate.
The top scholar in Jinke is Jia Huan of Rongguo Mansion!
This ranking caused a sensation among all those watching the list.
Won six yuan in a row and finished sixth! This is the first person since the founding of Daxia!
The messenger once again beat gongs and drums and came to Jia's house to announce the good news.
When Jia Mu learned the good news, although she had expected it, she was still ecstatic. Her body shook and she almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Yuanyang beside her helped her in time.
Jia Mu was as happy as anything. She kept saying "appreciate" the words, and the whole Rongguo Mansion suddenly became a sea of joy.
As expected, the third master lived up to expectations and became the number one scholar in high school. Everyone in the entire mansion was beaming with joy and pride.
Only Mrs. Wang had a look of disdain on her face and would allow this little beast to be proud for a few days.
Two years later, my Baoyu high school champion, the storage situation will be ten times greater than this.
At this time, Jia Huan was being dragged to the Zhuangyuan Building by several people of the same year. They insisted on sharing Jia Huan's place.
After the examination, Jia Huan came to the Zhuangyuan Building.
Now entering the Number One Scholar Building is worthy of its name.
