Wang Wei dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and he didn't plan to say anything.In the past 30 years, one of the most important skills he has learned is patience.I only heard the empress continue: "I know, you complained about me in your heart, and you didn't make you the king with a different surname.After all, it was a promise made by the first emperor, and it was also caused by his momentary excitement.There is only one prince of King Liang in this dynasty, if you don't have great merits, you want to be crowned king, the leader of the ministers, and the generals will not be convinced. ”After Ren Zhen opened the old case, in order to clear the blame, the empress blocked the mouths of Youyou, and blamed everything on the blame and slander of King Yong Gao Zhan.Gao Zhan fled the capital with great difficulty, and resolutely did not dare to come back, so there was no proof of the matter, and at most they insisted on their own words.As a result, the only prince of the old royal family, the Gao family, was deprived.If anyone is really crowned king, he will be on an equal footing with King Liang, who is very likely to become the prince, and his status and weight can be imagined.The stakes are very high, and of course the empress is unwilling to crown the king.Wang Ji bowed his head and was silent.The empress said: "After all, the promise of the first emperor exists, and this matter is well known, and I can't let him break his word."
In this way, you are the first place in the martial arts test, so I will let you temporarily serve as a deputy general and go to Jinghou Li Cunxiao to obey orders. ”Wang Ji raised his head."
If you can make a miraculous achievement and drive the enemy out of the country, I will fulfill my promise and make you the king of You, and then the ministers will be happy and convinced, and there will be no criticism, how" Wang Ji said lightly: "Your Majesty." ”He smiled secretly in his heart, "What is a miracle feat, who will the credit be credited to at that time, it's not that you just want to buy people's hearts when you say that you have the final say to paint cakes to satisfy hunger, Wu Qingyi, do you really think I'm stupid" The other candidates in the field thought of this layer, and when they heard the word "king", they were all dazzled and inspired.In their opinion, before the newcomers set out on the expedition, His Majesty made such a promise in public, and it seems that the imperial court is willing to spend blood this time to reward the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to the enemy.This is a great time for them to become famous and go down in history, and continue to look at the list.The martial arts test was only won or lost by duel, and the dust had settled yesterday, and when she came to participate in the palace test today, she just went through the motions and showed her face in front of her.She named and encouraged Wang Ji, which can be regarded as a recognition of Wu Zhuangyuan.This means that this martial arts test is really over.The palace examination has always been the main battlefield for candidates for the literary examination.Generally speaking, the questions given by the empress are derived from the Confucian classics, and the candidates answer them on the spot within the prescribed range, and the empress will evaluate the final results.Although the rules are so, in fact, there are so many candidates, the good and the bad are uneven, and the empress does not need to come in person.Gradually, everyone formed a tacit understanding.The top few leaders in the exam must have real talent and learning, and if they can get on the stage, let the empress personally inspect it, as for the rest of the people behind, it doesn't matter, the examiners go through the motions and just send it away.In other words, the people who are under the most pressure in their hearts should be Wu Daosi.The empress looked at the list and said, "The questions in this year's examination are difficult, and your grades are worse, I can understand it."
But you don't have to complain, the examiner who made the questions is not human, he is conscientious and intends to select the real pillars, I am very pleased. ”As he spoke, he glanced at the fake Cai Jiushi and nodded in approval."
Especially the last question, soliciting a strategy to retreat from the enemy, which is in line with the actual situation in front of us, and I am deeply satisfied by brainstorming.Therefore, after the results of the examination came out yesterday, I specially selected a few papers to see what you have planned. ”Hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened, and they were all recalling in a panic whether they had committed taboos when answering questions, whether they had written in an irregular format, and were worried that their papers would be drawn by His Majesty, and if they displeased her, their career in this life would be completely yellow.Ren Zhen stood in the crowd of martial arts exams, and was also secretly surprised, he didn't expect the empress to care so much, and personally selected the exam papers to check them.At this time, the empress closed the list, put it back in the tray held by the inner eunuch, and picked up the palace exam questions for the exam, but did not open it immediately."
I only read the first few papers, and I was full of expectations, thinking that you were proficient in Wentao and martial arts and could come up with feasible combat policies, but I was greatly disappointed.There were only a few words on each paper, perfunctory, and there was not even a decent opinion. ”Speaking of this, her face was slightly gloomy, and she looked at the front of the literary examination queue."
One candidate wrote a lot, filled the blank space to the brim, but erased it all with ink and turned it into a piece of black charcoal.Scribbling on the test paper, Wu Daosi, is this fun" She stared at Wu Daosi, who was standing tall, and couldn't hear the emotion in her voice.Seeing this, Ren Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly.Wu Daosi spoke up on the test paper and disobeyed the empress, but fortunately he found it on the spot and grabbed the pen to erase it.Unexpectedly, the empress still noticed this detail and questioned it in public at the palace examination.He began to worry in his heart, afraid that Wu Daosi's radical temperament would attack again and say rebellious words.If this is the case, there will be no recovery, and the gods will not be able to save this person.At this time, Wu Daosi stepped forward, his demeanor was extraordinary, and he replied gently: "Back to Your Majesty, the grass people were originally concentrating on answering, but when they were about to finish writing, they suddenly felt that the article was full of nonsense and had no practical meaning, so it was better not to say anything, and simply crossed it out, so as not to stain the eyes of the examiner." ”Ren Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.That's right, saying that he made a mistake in answering and was not satisfied with his performance, so he erased the answer he wrote, which was completely reasonable, and the empress was blameless, at most she criticized him, and she didn't know how to protect the beauty of the test paper.However, the empress's answer exceeded his expectations."
Is it nonsense, there are examiners to judge, why do you want to give up so easily I have read your previous answers, incisive and unique, strategic, worthy of becoming the champion of this year.So, you might as well read out the scribbled content, and treat it as if I tested you again in the palace exam" As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience had their pupils contracting, looking at the back of Wu Daosi in front of them, their eyes were full of shock and envy.The meaning of the empress's words was obvious, she was moved by Wu Daosi's talent, and was more inclined to appoint him as the champion of literature.Being affirmed by the empress in advance is an honor that countless readers can't imagine.Taking the questions that Wu Daosi has done and re-examining them is even more partial.After all, Wu Daosi had thought about it before, and when he answered on the spot, he would not be caught off guard and panicked as he was when faced with a new question.As long as he doesn't play abnormally and make major mistakes, with the empress's appreciation of him, he will be in the bag.Everyone is both envious and jealous, they can hit the most important palace test, the ancestral tomb of the Wu family is definitely going to smoke, Ren Zhen is different, he sweated for Wu Daosi, and his heart hung again.He appreciated Wu Daosi even more, and hated to see him late, not only did he not regard him as a younger generation, but wanted to make friends with him and become a close friend who was in the same boat through thick and thin.Because of this, he was so scared that Wu Daosi really dared to read out the original answer
