Adults, especially adults of a certain age, can't help but take homework exams when they see children of this age. Everyone understands very well.
It's just that the person taking the exam is the emperor, and it's on such a grand occasion, so that's unusual.
Regardless of how everyone behaves on the surface, in fact, I don't know how envious and jealous they are in their hearts. Talking to the emperor on this can be compared to years of planning outside.
I don't know how many people have worked so hard to get this opportunity.
Bai Shan is not stupid, he doesn't know why the fifth prince would pull him out suddenly, but this is indeed his chance.
Therefore, he quickly went through what he was going to say in his mind. He might have made a mistake, and he deliberately slowed down his speech.
He was still a little nervous at first, his palms were a little sweaty, but when he looked up and saw the strange yet somewhat familiar face of the emperor, the scene where they met on the road before flashed in his mind, and then he thought of how he arranged them to come here step by step , his heart suddenly calmed down.
The corner of Bai Shan's mouth twitched slightly, what are you afraid of
Isn't all of this his arrangement
Bai Shan's brain started to work rapidly, he discarded many books in an instant, and only said: "The students are reading "Spring and Autumn".
Who doesn't know what books the first-grade students of Guozixue can read
Mainly what he wanted the emperor to ask.
The emperor saw that he only said "Spring and Autumn", raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "I remember Qi Jinggong asked Confucius about politics, but I don't know how Confucius answered?"
Bai Shan cupped his hands and said, "Confucius said: Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons."
The emperor smiled and asked, "Do you think Confucius is right?"
Bai Shan looked up at the emperor, lowered his eyes and said, "The words of the sage are naturally correct."
The emperor laughed loudly, stroked his beard and nodded and said, "Yes, indeed, fifth, you have finally made a good friend. Come on, why don't you sit with the living man and remember today's spring and autumn for him?"
Bai Shan knelt down immediately, saluted and promised: "Yes."
Sitting next to the emperor, Lang raised his eyebrows high, exchanged glances with his colleagues who were assisting him, and then wrote in the booklet: "You asked the young man about Qi Jinggong's confusion in "Spring and Autumn", and the young man replied... "
After he wrote down this paragraph, he nodded to Bai Shan who came forward, and got up to give him a seat.
Of course, it was impossible for Bai Shan to record and read this booklet, so he turned over a blank booklet for him and gave him a set of pens and inks by the way.
Bai Shan thanked him, knelt down beside him, and looked up at the situation in the hall.
His position is particularly good, because he can see the entire audience, including the expressions of the emperor and the empress dowager.
What does the living man do
That is historians, who specialize in recording the words and deeds of the emperor and everyone. After the records are completed, they will be sealed. When the emperor dies and the next emperor ascends the throne, these sealed daily records will be dug out and compiled, and passed down as history books. .
Most of the merits and demerits of the emperor in the future will come from here.
Therefore, as a living man, the most important thing is to record the facts, and Bai Shan and the others have been taught this since they read history books.
My husband said that when writing an article, you only need to remember the key points. No matter how you write, you will never lose the fundamentals and you will win half of the battle.
The remaining half depends on literary talent.
And Bai Shan, who did not write less policy theory and read the scriptures translated by Man Bao, thought that his writing style was not bad.
As a historian, isn't the most important thing is that the writing is flat and easy to understand, but also has a sense of picture
I mainly remember the words and deeds of the emperor, followed by the important words of some ministers.
Bai Shan made two points for himself in his heart, and started to observe the people in this hall openly, especially like to stare at the King of Yizhou.
Bai Shan, who is familiar with the inside story, watched the friendly interaction between the emperor and the king of Yizhou. He wanted to write something, but unfortunately, he didn't have the guts.
He was afraid that if he wrote it, the matter would fail.
Holding a pen, Bai Shan tried to write down the conversation between the emperor and the king of Yizhou without personal emotions, but he kept humming in his heart.
Seeing her poking her head, Ming Da reminded her: "Don't look, Father is training your junior brother."
Man Bao nodded, "I know."
But I still can't help but worry, this palace is really dangerous, and Bai Shan doesn't seem to have eaten yet, right
Man Bao glanced at the mutton in front of him, picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, not to mention, it was really delicious.
She glanced at Bai Erlang and Yin or who were facing each other, and gave them a wink, telling them to eat quickly, and then try to find a way to send some food to Bai Shan later.
By the way, she glanced at the fifth prince who had already started talking to Bai Erlang, and turned to ask Mingda, "His cousin's name is Changbo? Could it be Yang Changbo?"
Mingda was eating, and before she had time to answer, Princess Changyu pulled Man Bao, and said with sparkling eyes, "You know Cousin Yang?"
Mingda couldn't help covering his mouth with a handkerchief, and smiled sullenly for a while before saying, "It's not ashamed, that's not your cousin."
"What's the matter, Lao Wu and I are siblings, so I can naturally call him cousin."
Man Bao said: "The magistrate of our Luojiang County, his character is Changbo, and his name is Taboo and Book."
Changyu couldn't help clapping his hands and said with a smile: "That's Cousin Yang, did you see him?"
Man Bao nodded.
Chang Yu couldn't help shaking her arm and asked, "Do you think he's good-looking?"
After thinking about it, Man Bao nodded and said, "It's really pretty."
"What do you mean really good-looking?" Princess Changyu was a little dissatisfied, and said, "Is there anyone more beautiful than Cousin Yang in this world?"
Mingda thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said, "It seems that there are no more."
Man Bao also thought about it seriously, "Really, County Magistrate Yang is indeed the best-looking person I have ever met."
Changyu felt complacent, raised his head and said, "How about it, am I right?"
After finishing speaking, she regretted endlessly, "It's a pity that I was born a few years late. It would be great if I was born a few years earlier. I will definitely ask my father to give me a marriage."
Mingda: "You may not be able to win over daughters from other aristocratic families. I heard that in the early years, Cui's daughter and Wang's daughter almost didn't fight to snatch him. It's also fortunate that the Lu family has no young ladies of the right age. more powerful."
Man Bao: "..."
Changyu was not convinced, "I'm a princess, can I still be inferior to them?"
Mingda laughed and said: "Sister is naturally very good in our hearts, but the emperor can't forcefully order a marriage, you still have to ask the Yang family."
Changyu naturally understands this too, and she can't marry whoever she wants in this world.
Now, she has reached the age of marriage.
She raised her head to look at the nephews sitting behind the ministers on the opposite side, and after scanning them one by one, she sighed, "Compared to Cousin Yang, they are far worse."
Man Bao also looked up. Although they were not as good-looking as Yang Heshu, there were actually quite a few handsome ones, and she felt nothing to regret.
