In the following days, Ouyang was not lonely. He visited Zhan Ming in Shanggu County. After staying for a few days, he learned that Zhan Ming's original ambition was also an examination. However, his father was a constable in the yamen. According to the rules of the enrollment, Zhan Ming was not qualified to participate in the imperial examination, so his son inherited his father's business and became a constable. Ouyang expressed deep resentment about his experience in his ancient peers, but his current future was unclear and he did not dare to be too rash. After accompanying Zhan Ming to travel downstream for several days, he went around the counties around Tokyo. The one who felt the deepest was Huashigang.

A dozen tons of large stones were transported from Yangzhou to Tokyo by manpower just to enjoy the emperor. The reason was that the stone was so beautiful. Wherever the flower stone fleet passed, the local people had to supply money, grain and civil servants; in some places, they even demolished bridges and carved city walls to allow the fleet to pass through.

Waste is not a sin. For example, the emperor only eats one pig's tail and throws away all other parts of the pig. Even if it is wasted like this, it is still a relatively virtuous cycle to make the pig farmers profit. The waste of Huashijiao seems to violate the conservation of energy, and only waste is waste. A large amount of manpower and material resources are just to transport a useless thing from the south to the north.

Ouyang also understood that Song Huizong could already rank in the top three in history. Who is the top two? Ouyang didn't know very well, so he had to leave some place for others anyway.

Two days before the first day of May, a group of Jinshi reported that the Ministry of Rites explained the precautions for the palace examination, such as drinking less water and gnawing plants to prevent the palace examination from being urged. Then there was etiquette, when the emperor not only had to kneel, but also lie on the ground, which was called prostrating the ground, etc.

...

On the first day of May, the dragon raised its head early, the wind was strong and the rain was strong.

In the martial arts hall, a group of Jinshi waited silently, Ouyang's head lowered because he knew that the person who was about to come out knew him.

A few months ago, he was defeated by himself and was very miserable.

Today, he is coming to collect debts.

Listen carefully outside the hall, the wind is stronger and the rain is more urgent.

When he came, he slowly walked to Ouyang and stayed deliberately for a second. He seemed to enjoy the feeling of his opponent's contempt under his feet. But he was not proud, so he stopped lightly, so he walked forward and walked to his own special chair thirty meters away. He liked this distance because it was not only safe, but also gave him a sense of satisfaction from the strong.

The opponent was moved, and he felt keenly that the opponent was moved.

My feet are numb! Ouyang was angry. After walking for a few minutes, I was sick and went to see a doctor.

"Flat!" Huizong greeted.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Jinshi stood in two rows and looked down at the floor. This was practiced in advance.

Huizong nodded with satisfaction and asked: "Everyone is the mainstay of my Song Dynasty, don't be restrained. Who is the provincial capital this time?"

An official from the Ministry of Rites kicked Ouyang's heel on the side, and Ouyang had no choice but to take a step to the right: "Student Ouyang has seen Your Majesty."

"Raise your head and let me see." Huizong correctly means, look up and see who I am.

He chose a prostitute and looked up. Ouyang lowered his head and replied: "How could Long Yan be like a student look?"

"look up."

"Yes!" Ouyang looked up and said in surprise: "It's you?" That look seemed very unimaginable.

Huizong was very satisfied with Ouyang's reaction, and he wanted this effect. The eunuch shouted, "Bold!"

"Ah! It's you?" Xiao Yi, I thought you were Yang Jian, but I didn't know you were Zhao Nu.

Yang Jian also wanted to scold him, but Huizong raised his hand to stop him and said, "I ask you, why is your theory of "Lexiu" so useless?"

"The students' talent and learning are no matter how far they pass through the world, they are just children's sword dancing in front of His Majesty." Ouyang said again: "Your Majesty's martial arts students do not know, but their literary talent is so high that they can know it. If a student learns for another hundred years, they may not be as good as their top priority."

Damn! Yang Jian, who had a bowl of rice with the miscellaneous family, slandered him in his heart.

Huizong was very satisfied with Ouyang's answer and nodded and asked again: "I feel that your plan..."

Ouyang Meng answered: "Your Majesty has great wisdom in every word and action. Students have virtue in their ancestors. They must meet the real dragon before the examination. This is how to plan the plan."

"Don't belittle yourself. After reading your plan, the ministers in the court realized that it was a good article that benefits the country and the people." Huizong felt that he could not always talk to someone, so he said, "Who is the second place?"

Officials from the Ministry of Rites rushed Ouyang, who was ignorant, to return to the ranks.

Huizong was interested and asked ten Jinshis in a row. Ouyang admired him, just remembering himself, but he didn't expect that the top ten Lun and Ce could be remembered roughly. Each Jinshi didn't expect that the emperor had read his own papers, and his tears and snot fell out. Ouyang felt funny, two of them were in their fifties, but they were still like children.

Next, the Jinshi sat and handed out the papers to prepare for the palace examination. Ouyang read the white paper and prayed, and made plans. Generally, the palace examinations were made, and there were also rare theories in this theory. Huizong saw Ouyang and smiled lightly: "The pros and cons of salt transportation."

Ouyang was very happy.

Huizong added: "Ouyang, you are the provincial capital, I will give you a special question."

Ouyang Dahan.

"On the importance of joy."

"..." Ouyang was in a coma, this was revenge, naked revenge.

Huizong laughed at Ouyang's desolate face: "You can do it if you want to answer, but you have to do something new to me. However, you are the disciple of the emperor and you cannot destroy yourself."

"..." Ouyang thought about it and said, "I want a bamboo pen holder with good texture, plus six dice."

An official from the Ministry of Rites hurriedly scolded: "How can I do it in the hall examination..."

"It's okay, come and find someone." Huizong said: "If what you do cannot satisfy me, I will take it away with you."

...

Six dice were placed on the table. Ouyang took the pen holder and swept it. The six dice were put into the pen holder. After a while of Hulala, Ouyang inserted his waist with one hand and smashed the pen holder on the table, then shouted: "Six and six, great luck, congratulations to Your Majesty for your health."

Huizong looked in surprise and found that all six dices were six. Long Xin was very happy: "Okay, okay. I have a reward." This is interesting. I always throw dice into the bowl, and at most two bowls closed and shaking up and down. I have never seen dice like this.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ouyang felt that he really had the potential to be a lucky minister. Ouyang said again: "This thing can be played with two, three, or even ten people, and it is called guessing dice."

"Oh?" Huizong ordered: "Come here, prepare another one."

So, Ouyang and the emperor played dice guessing during the palace test. Ouyang was confusing, not only because of the loss, but also praised the emperor for his intelligence and his keen observation skills. The Jinshi was so painful that he was so clever that he was shaking the dice. If we say that Huizong was also smart, he could even shake the dice after trying a few times. The more he played, he became more and more interested. Until the end, the Minister of Rites couldn't stand it and quietly signaled Yang Jian, and Huizong stopped making trouble.

"I will allow you to take the test." Huizong was still unsatisfied. But after all, in the palace examination, it would be unconventional to be so noisy. But then again, this is the sound you want.
