Dafeng’s Night Squad - Chapter 554
554 Blocking the ministers alone (4)
If he couldn’t pass this stage, how could he even talk about the court examination?
Your Majesty, ” King Yu immediately said, ” this method is too rash. How can an ordinary person come up with such a good poem? ”
Zhang xingying immediately agreed.
time is also limited on the examination field, ” Yuan Xiong said with a smile. since Xu Huiyuan can compose one, why can’t he compose a second one? ”
“Prince Yu’s words are wrong. For Xu Xinyi to be able to produce such a masterpiece, it shows that he is extremely good at poetry. When he writes another song and compares the two, it will naturally be clear.”
“Your Majesty, this is a wonderful method.”
The six courtiers took the lead in supporting him, and the rest of the Civil officials agreed.
High Duke Cao watched from the side with folded arms. He had only promised to help Xu Nian give him a lighter sentence, but had no intention of letting him off the hook.
King Yu’s face darkened and he was about to continue to persuade Emperor Yuan jing when he waved his hand and said, “”This one’s mind is set, Prince Yu need not say anything more.”
…………
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, an armored Imperial Guard entered the throne room and respectfully said, “”Your Majesty, I’ve brought you a New Year’s wish.”
The originally stagnant atmosphere suddenly became lively, and everyone in the Imperial court was in high spirits.
“Bring him in,” Emperor Yuan jing said in a dignified voice.
The Imperial Guard took his leave. A few minutes later, the handsome man in a prison uniform arrived to celebrate the new year.
He slowly walked through the red-carpeted passage, passed through the ministers on both sides, and came to Emperor Yuan jing.
This, this is the legendary throne room?
This was the place where the officials of the Imperial court attended court?
Why did you bring me to the throne room … A series of question marks flashed through Xu niannian’s mind. He was so excited that his hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably.
In an extremely low voice, he gave himself a buff.”Even if the mountain collapses in front of you, it won’t change color!”
In an instant, Xu Erlang’s heart was as calm as the water in a well. His eyes were bright and clear, as if he didn’t care about the Lords on both sides.
“Your student wishes for the New Year, Your Majesty.”
“Your Majesty, I’ve verified her identity,” the Imperial Guard immediately replied.
Emperor Yuan jing examined the young man who was so good-looking that he was out of control. He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, ”
Let me ask you, did the Grand scholar Dongge accept any bribes to leak the questions to you? ”
“Your Majesty, I’m innocent!” Xu niannian shouted.
No one paid attention to his defense. Emperor Yuan jing interrupted him lightly, “”I’ll give you a chance. If you want to prove your innocence, compose a poem in this throne room. I’ll personally come up with the topic to wish you a Happy New Year. Do you dare?”
I don’t dare, I don’t dare … Xu niannian’s face turned slightly pale.
He didn’t expect that he would be brought into the throne room and face such a situation.
“A difficult journey” was written by his eldest brother on his behalf, not by him. Although he had changed two words, he could Pat his chest and say, “This poem was composed by me.
However, if he was asked to write another poem, and it was a last-minute one at that, he could not do it at all.
To be able to do such a thing. it had to be possessed by. Saint … Xu niannian was in despair. He even had the thought of confessing everything and begging the Imperial court to give him a lighter punishment.
However, reason told him that once he admitted that ” a difficult journey ” was not written by him, what awaited him would be the end of him sliding into the abyss.
No one would care that the Big Brother had bet on the right question.
What should I do? what should I do? I didn’t expect that this would be the first time I’m coming to the throne room. He had a deep understanding of the difficulties and dangers of officialdom.
Big brother, what should I do …
Xu Xinian’s expression and expression were all seen by the ministers and Emperor Yuan jing.
Minister sun’s eyes flashed with joy. Xu Qi ‘an had nailed him to the pillar of shame when he wrote the poem. Now, the tables had turned, and it was his turn to do the 15th.
The Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Qin Yuandao, exhaled silently. He felt that the overall situation had been decided. After taking down Zhao tingfang, his next step would be to plan for a position in Dongge University.
The cabinet was chief advisor Wang’s territory, and Minister sun was the backbone of the king’s party, so it was almost certain.
The left imperial censor Yuan Xiong looked at Wei Yuan. He was in a bad mood because Wei Yuan didn’t make a move. His plan had failed.
However, it wasn’t a loss for Wei Yuan to lose a capable general.
As expected, it had come to this … Wei Yuan sighed silently. When he first learned that Xu niannian was involved in the imperial examination fraud case, he felt that it wasn’t difficult. After Xu Qi ‘an confessed to writing the poem, Wei Yuan’s advice to him was, ”
He would try to be lenient.
This was a fatal flaw.
Xu ningyan seems to have something else to rely on. He didn’t say it, but I can feel it … Wei Yuan had a rough idea of Duke Cao’s betrayal, but he had no idea how to solve the poetry problem.
Emperor Yuan jing looked down at Xu Xinyi and said in a dignified and low voice, “”You don’t dare to?”
Gulp … Xu niannian swallowed his saliva and gritted his teeth, “”Your Majesty, please give me a question.”
Emperor Yuan jing smiled and said leisurely, ” to repay the emperor’s kindness with loyalty and integrity. Hmm, I’ll compose a poem with the title of ‘loyal to the Emperor and serving the country’. I’ll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.”
Upon hearing Emperor Yuan jing’s question, Minister sun and the others could not help but laugh secretly.
His Majesty clearly knew that Xu niannian was a student of Yunlu Academy, yet he still set such a test. It was deliberate.
Moreover, since ancient times, the poems that were used to serve the country were mostly used when the country was in ruins. There were very few excellent works with this topic in peaceful times.
This question was very difficult!
Loyal to the Emperor and serving the country … Xu niannian’s body stiffened, and he was stunned.
On that day, big brother drew lots and picked two questions. One was about ambition, and the other was about patriotism. The Ode to his will had already played an important role in the spring examination, helping him become the Huiyuan of the current dynasty.
In that case, the remaining patriotic poems would naturally be of no use.
