The first place in the first class is the top scorer.

Da Chen takes the exam every three years. Even after five hundred years, there are only more than 100 top scholars in Wen. These people eventually become the leading Da Chen, which is a great example.

If you want a top student in high school, it is absolutely not enough to rely on your literary talent alone. In addition to luck, because you are taking the exam for the current literature, the vision of the characters is very important.

One thing is how to impress and convince people, especially so many examiners, which require both intimacy and reason, and also requires citation of classics and exquisite writing skills. Without any point, it is impossible.

What's more, Chen Kaizhi was actually Yunwen and Wu, killing two top scorers in one go.

"It's really..." The queen mother stumbled and said, "It's really surprising." She didn't expect this surprise. After a long time, she calmed down and said with a long sigh: "It's really surprising."

Chen Zhijing didn't know what to say,

After being shocked, the Queen Mother suddenly remembered the King of Zhao. Her beautiful eyes were slightly tilted. Although her body was diagonally facing Chen Zhijing, the light from the corner of her eyes fell on him.

"Zhi Jing." The empress dowager's cold voice rang in the hall.

"My..." Chen Zhijing said with a dirt face: "Here."

The empress dowager smiled on her lips, which was happy and mocking, and then said, "You said just now that if Chen Kaizhi won the top scholar in martial arts and only won the Wen Jinshi, he would be the military officer. Now he is the top scholar in Wen and is still the top scholar in military affairs. What should he do?"

The tone of this sentence is not too heavy, but it might be said to be ridiculed and ridiculed.

Chen Zhi was stutteringly, and at this time he had no previous aura at all, and instead felt a little at a loss.

"What the Ai family should discuss, it's an unprecedented thing. The Ai family has never heard of it. Since Taizu, the late emperors of all dynasties have met such a talented man. The original intention of the imperial examination is to recommend talents. If such a talent is not used by the court, you still hope to give him to others. You should know that he is a student?"

Chen Zhijing just said: "Yes, yes..."

"Then let's discuss it, and discuss it well."

The Empress Dowager no longer had the intention to care about Chen Zhijing's impoliteness. For the Empress Dowager, these things have become insignificant. No matter how big the world is, it is not as great as the flesh and blood of her own. In fact, she was shocked in her heart, no matter how much Zhang Jing almost fell to her head when she entered the palace. She had experienced so many things, and she seemed to be more calm than Zhang Jing.

Chen Zhi was as cautious as if he was in his throat, and his heart was filled with breath, but he just smiled bitterly and said, "Yes."

"Take it off." The empress dowager turned her back to Chen Zhijing, and her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she wanted to hide her loss of composure.

Chen Zhijing didn't dare to raise his eyes at this time. The list of articles seemed to have slapped him directly, and it was crisp and loud, making him truly understand that his so-called report had become a joke.

Chen Zhijing slowly retreated, just as he was about to exit the threshold.

The empress dowager still turned her back to her and suddenly said, "Yes, zhi."

"ah……"

"Be careful, the threshold!"

Chen Zhijing suddenly felt like he had eaten a fly, but he still said, "Thank you, Empress." Then he quit slowly.

As soon as Chen Zhijing left, the empress dowager was shocked and looked back at Zhang Jing.

So Zhang Jing hurried forward.

"This is not the son of the Ai family." said the Queen Mother.

Zhang Jing was shocked: "Empress, I've already experienced it, indeed..."

"No!" said the Empress Dowager: "The Ai family means that this is given to the son of the Ai family by God. God gives mercy. The Ai family knows that the Ai family has been waiting for over the years and enduring over the years, there will be good results. The Ai family originally thought that he had been away for thirteen years after all. If he was really mediocre, the Ai family would have promised him wealth for a lifetime, but now this is absolutely impossible. If such a son cannot succeed the rule of the late emperor, the Ai family will be ashamed of the ancestors of Dachen and the late emperor. Zhang Jing, time is not waiting for me."

Zhang Jing looked deeply at the empress dowager who was trying hard to cover up her excitement, but said, "Justice Zhao was a little short of attacking the empress for Chen Kaizhi. Did he... feel suspicious?"

"No." The Empress Dowager said decisively, and then sneered: "You don't understand this person. He was using Chen Kaizhi to attack, but in fact he was just testing the Ai family. Chen Kaizhi was a little bit of affair, but his real purpose was to see if the Ai family was really determined and if he really had the courage to fight him to death."

Zhang Jing then breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but say, "No wonder, no wonder the Empress was so angry that even Lin Wei was at a slight strife."

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "This kind of temptation will happen sooner or later, but if he dares to test, the Ai family will have to take action."

The Empress Dowager turned to her side and continued, "There is a eunuch named Liu Gui next to the emperor."

"yes."

"Is it an old man from the Zhao royal palace?"

"Yes. He followed His Majesty the Emperor and came into the palace and served him closely. His Majesty liked him very much. He smiled when he saw him."

"Oh." The Empress Dowager's eyes flashed, but she said lightly: "Then... take off the Yingtian Gate and beat him to death. From today on, let Wu Gui go to serve His Majesty, and the guards around His Majesty will send some more, and... A nephew of Princess Zhao, did he hear that he had killed someone in Guanzhong? Some days ago, someone came to the palace to ask the Ai family for forgiveness! He passed the imperial edict and used the emperor's will to tell the people of the world that the emperor would never be favored. The prince and the common people were in charge of the same crime and ordered the officer to be killed without mercy. All those involved in the case, from top to bottom, were killed to warn others!"

Zhang Jing's body shook and nodded: "I'm afraid that this will cause King Zhao's overreaction."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Some people, if you retreat an inch, they will step forward. The more you hit him, the more they will be more peaceful. Also, Mingjingsi, you should be more diligent in the near future, and transfer Ning Guogong to bring his An Ning army into Beijing, Ai's family... I haven't seen my brother for a long time. I always feel that it is inconvenient to communicate with letters. Please ask him to come."

Zhang Jing was very calm in his heart: "Slave, understand."

The Queen Mother waved her hand lightly: "Go."

……………………

Beihai County Prince's Mansion.

In the back house of this prince’s mansion, there is a natural lake, and there is an island above the lake.

At this moment, on the island in the middle of the lake, there were music and musical sounds. At the height of the attic where the singing and dancing were singing, the prince of Beihai, Chen Zhengdao, was wearing only a long gown. His eyes were a little wavy, and he was obviously a little drunk. The guests around him still persuaded him to drink to cheer up the prince.

"Haha..." Chen Zhengdao drank a glass of wine and said, "I learned martial arts at the age of three, was skilled in archery and horses at the age of ten, went to the north of the border at the age of fifteen, and had beheaded more than a hundred bandits at the age of twenty. I am brave enough to defeat the three armies. I can also bear the horses of Chen Kai."

He threw the wine cup drunk, and the guests around him said, "Your Highness is inaccessible to ordinary people. Just Chen Kaizhi is like a native chicken, tiles and dogs, not enough for your Highness to hold it."

Mi Yi said with a smile: "That man is just a martial arts top scholar, and His Highness is a man of a thousand gold medals, why should he take him to heart?"

Chen Zhengdao looked at a bronze tripod in the distance. This bronze tripod was probably 200 pounds, and he was ready to beat his hands: "Come on, look at my power."

He stepped away, and was so scared that the singers dancing in the center avoided and knelt on both sides.

Chen Zhengdao stepped next to the tripod and breathed out: "This little thief can do it, but I can do it too."

Then he smiled fiercely, and indeed his hands were pressed against both sides of the tripod. Then he twisted his eyebrows tightly and then he shakingly lifted the tripod.

Everyone exclaimed and said, "Be careful, Your Highness."

But Chen Zhengdao was indeed powerful, and he actually lifted the cauldron up. His face turned red, but he showed a smug look and said sternly: "How, how?"

Everyone knew that Your Highness was half drunk and said one after another: "Your Highness is born with divine power and has the courage to be inappropriate for thousands of men."

"Your Highness can smash the little thief to pieces, and your Highness will be majestic."

"mighty!"

"Hahaha..." Chen Zhengdao was still unwilling to put down the tripod.

But at this moment, a little eunuch rushed over like crazy and said, "Your Highness, report urgently, report urgently."

Chen Zhengdao was unmoved and still held the tripod, but said with a strong aura: "What's the matter?"

The little eunuch hurriedly said: "The literary test was released, Chen Kaizhi ranked first in the high school literary test, and now he is the top scorer in both civil and military, which shocked Luoyang!"

Chen Zhengdao suddenly felt his heart as if he had been stabbed, and his whole body seemed to be a deflated ball, and his hands were not as strong as that. The bronze tripod that was raised high suddenly... lost its balance and fell down with a bang.

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

The tripod rolled down and landed on Chen Zhengdao's feet with a thud.

Uh...

Chen Zhengdao let out a hysterical wail.

So countless people rushed towards Chen Zhengdao in horror.

Chen Zhengdao wailed. When the doctor in the mansion came, he took off his boots, but saw that several of his toes had broken bones, dripping blood.

"Hurry, hurry up, take medicine to treat it."

Someone panicked and said, "It's all this dog slave. If he hadn't been talking too much, why would Your Highness be like this?"

"Thank you to King Zhao, King Liang, and His Highness Zheng."

"No!" Chen Zhengdao stretched out his hand among the crowd, but his arm was shaking and trembling.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes were so painful that his eyes were full of tears, as if he used all his strength: "Damn it! There is really a disaster star, this is a disaster star, it is a real immortal, Mr. Fang is an immortal, damn, hasn't the damn messenger arrived in Jinling yet? Only Mr. Fang... Only Mr. Fang can save me from the dangers of water and fire. Please invite Mr. Fang. No matter how much money it costs, it is just to invite many people to bow to him. I will invite Mr. Fang... This king... This king wants Mr. Fang, no matter what the price... This king... This king wants Mr. Fang..."

Speaking of this, his head tilted, his arm drooped, and he fainted.
