Lu Yun couldn't help but nodded slightly. No matter what others thought, no matter how much he hated the Chu Shi Emperor. Just as this test question was, his level was still very high. Just these candidates from the family came from the family were baked on the red stove.
Based on your original intention, there is no doubt that except for a few of the Huangfu family, these candidates will place their families above the court and place their fathers, sons and sons above the kings, ministers and ministers. However, there are some things you can do this, but you can't explain them explicitly!
It is a natural matter for the king to be the minister, the father to be the son, the king to be the minister, the father to be the minister, the father to be the son, the son to be the son, and the son to be the son. If you dare to say that father and son are superior to the king and the minister, you are a traitor. It is not an exaggeration for the emperor to cut off your head directly...
But if they ask them to pinch their noses and admit that the king and his subjects are superior to their father and son, wouldn’t that give them a handle? In the future, if there is a dispute within the family, 80% of them will take their test papers as a pretext and be labeled as being disloyal to this family, no one can afford it!
Sure enough, Lu Yun swept his eyes left and right, and found that whether it was Cui Baiyu or Pei Yuanshao, he either frowned, scratched his ears or his cheeks, or his face was full of disgrace. It was obvious that they were all stumped...
It is no wonder that the topic that the original emperor gave was clearly an open conspiracy. Without enough wisdom, it is necessary to be inside and outside!
On the imperial throne, the Emperor Chu was very happy to see the candidates who had eaten Coptis chinensis one by one. He wanted to wake up these guys. There was also an emperor in the Daxuan Dynasty and a court. If the skin was not covered, where would he attach?!
As for how these guys answer questions and whether they will make mistakes, he doesn't care at all.
The Emperor Chu looked at Lu Yun in the front row. Seeing him bowing his head and thinking hard, the emperor finally felt a little expectation in his heart, wanting to see how this kid would answer.
Although he intends to grant the first rank to Lu Yun, if this kid does not show enough loyalty and wisdom, the Chu Emperor will definitely change his original intention.
The leaking pot in the hall dripped with water droplets, and the scale continued to drop. Before he knew it, an hour passed. The chief examiner Wei Qing glanced at the candidates. Most of them were still blank. He then reminded him: "Half time, hurry up and write."
"Ah..." In the hall, the candidates couldn't help but sucked their air and quickly picked up their pens, trying to hurry up and write. But this damn question is really embarrassing, and they write like a mountain!
But it would be too late to write it, so the candidates had to bite the bullet and write down as much as they had done their best to write down the draft they had made.
But there were also people who started writing early, especially those of Lu Jia and Cui Jia, who were good at writing articles. Cui Zhongtai, Cui Zhongkai and others had already written several long paragraphs, and Lu Bai was almost the same. Lu Song even wrote half a paper, and the speed of writing was getting faster and faster, obviously there was a spring of literary thoughts... This is the reason why he was selected to participate in the competition!
However, the mountain is still high, and Cui Baiyu has already written a whole answer sheet. He still raised his hand to signal Wei Qing to give himself a roll of paper.
Wei Qing couldn't help but be surprised. This time, the trick was tricky. The more you answered, the more you were wrong, and you also needed to answer it in parallel prose. Of course, it was short and concise. Unexpectedly, this boy from the Cui family actually did the opposite and started to make a long statement!
He personally sent a blank roll of paper to Cui Baiyu's several cases. Cui Baiyu took it and lowered his head to continue his pen and started to walk.
Wei Qing did not leave, but picked up a test paper that Cui Baiyu had written and started reading. At first, he just took a look at it casually, but he soon became immersed in, nodded repeatedly, and occasionally cast admiring eyes at Cui Baiyu. If it weren't for the exam, Shangshu Wei would have been applauding.
Wei Qing's slightly exaggerated reaction also made the bored Chu Emperor interested. He waved his hand and signaled him to bring the test papers.
At this time, Cui Baiyu had finished the article, and Wei Qing presented his unfinished test paper, together with the original one, to the original Emperor Yulan.
The first emperor carefully read Cui Baiyu's paper, with a strange smile on his face, and whispered to Du Hui on the side: "Slip-headed boy, don't offend him."
Du Hui smiled when he heard this and replied softly: "That's rare..."
"Indeed." The Emperor of Chu nodded and agreed. He knew very well the difficulty of the test questions. From this position of major issues, being able to avoid offending both sides is enough to regulate the yin and yang and be the prime minister.
"If Lu Yun can't come up with a better article," Chu Shi Emperor sighed slowly and said softly to Du Hui: "This article is probably the first one." Even if he made up his mind to send Lu Yun a journey, his articles would have to be the same as each other. If the difference was too far, Chu Shi Emperor would not be too private.
Du Hui nodded and said to himself: 'It seems that Your Majesty likes this article very much...'
But he knew better that the emperor had this change because there were rumors in the capital that all the families were thinking about Lu Yun and wanted to take him as the son-in-law of the East Side. With the suspicious temperament of the initial emperor, it was impossible to imagine that there was a risk of making wedding dresses for others.
Therefore, subconsciously, the emperor's attitude towards Lu Yun gradually changed...
Thinking of this, Du Hui looked at Lu Yun and saw that he had just started writing. At this time, there was not much time left. I am afraid that even copying, time was in a hurry!
‘Hey, it seems that this sage is indeed something that ordinary people cannot reach.’ Du Hui couldn’t help but sigh: ‘This kid is afraid he can’t get the first place in the literary exam…’.
The cup of tea passed, and as the scale in the leaking pot reached the end, the exam was officially over when the sound of water drops stopped.
At this time, most candidates have finished writing the article, either moving their wrists and carefully reviewing it, or turning their necks, relaxing while looking around.
One after another, the candidates' eyes fell on Lu Yun, who was sitting in the front row, because they found that the eldest son Lu was still writing quickly...
‘What’s going on with him?’ The candidates couldn’t help but murmur. Seeing that the exam time was about to end at any time, could this guy be unable to finish writing articles?
For a moment, there were people who were anxious, but even more gloating. After all, everyone's limelight was snatched away by Mr. Lu, who came out of nowhere. Of course, it would be unhappy for me to be a person.
But to their disappointment, when the last drop of water from the leaking pot fell, Lu Yun finally stopped writing.
With a ticking sound, the water drips fell into the pot, and Wei Qing's voice sounded at the same time: "Time is up, stop writing and finishing the roll!"
Although his wrists didn't feel sore at all, Lu Yun still liked to rub his right hand sexually, and gently blew the ink marks on the curled surface...
Soon, more than thirty test papers were collected. The Emperor Chu also stretched and said slowly: "Go back and rest well. Three days later, the morning court will be heard."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I respectfully send you to you." The candidates bowed their heads and bowed. When the Emperor Chu left, they couldn't wait to get up and talk. There was a lot of noise in the Wenhua Palace.
Naturally, many people surrounded Lu Yun, and somebody pretended to be caring and asked, "Oh, Master Lu, have you finished writing?"
"Fortunately, I finished writing at the last moment." Lu Yun smiled and said, as if he could not hear the sour meaning in their tone.
"Then don't have time to check it out?" the crowd said in a slight manner: "If there are typos or if the sentences are not clear, then it will be done."
"Hey, don't worry about him." Before Lu Yun could speak, Lu Song's voice sounded first. "This guy must have a draft before writing. Once he finished writing, he would not make any mistakes."
"Wow, so amazing?" Everyone gasped, but their tone was disbelief.
"Just go and see." Lu Song shrugged. He didn't want to pay attention to these strange-minded guys anymore, so he said to Lu Yun, "Let's go, let's go and see the hotel."
"See you tonight." Lu Yun clasped his fists apologetically to everyone and wanted to leave with his brothers.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of Wenhua Hall, I saw a eunuch wearing a red robe waiting there.
"Young Master Lu, Your Majesty tells you to play chess." The eunuch was Eunuch Ma who took Lu Yun to the summer palace a few months ago.
"Abide by the order." Lu Yun seemed not surprised and looked at the brothers beside him.
"Just go, those little things will be covered by us." Lu Song smiled and waved his hand at him. There was no need to say much between brothers. Lu Yun nodded and followed Ma Eunuch around Wenhua Hall and walked towards Jianyuan Gate to the north.
At this time, a group of candidates came out of the hall and saw Lu Yun being told by the eunuch to meet the saint. They couldn't help but stare at his back with complex eyes, and their hearts were mixed. Obviously, Lu Yun was looked up by the emperor among the candidates, but this did not seem to be a good thing...
"The same was true for his father back then..." Pei Yuanshao sighed softly, "Why do you have to repeat the same mistake?"
"No." Cui Baiyu shook his head, obviously disagreed with Pei Yuanshao's words.
"Cui Baiyu, have you been brainwashed by him? Why do you talk to him everywhere?" Xie Mo finally couldn't help but burst into words at Cui Baiyu.
"Haha..." Cui Baiyu slowly turned his head, looked up and down with indifferent eyes, and said lightly: "If you can beat me, I will also talk for you."
"You guy..." Xie Mo was so choked that he couldn't speak, and turned his head angrily and left.
Cui Baiyu was fine, and said enthusiastically behind him: "Don't forget the evening banquet."
"I can't forget!" Xie Mo said angrily and disappeared deep in the palace gate...
Lu Yun followed Ma Eunuch through the square in front of Jianyuan Hall and walked towards Jianyuan Gate.
After staying away from the crowd, Ma Eunuch Ma smiled at Lu Yun as if he had become a different person and said, "Since half a year ago, I led the young master into the palace like this."
"Yes, time passes so fast." Lu Yun looked at the tall and magnificent Jianyuan Palace and nodded slowly.
