"The list is released, the list is released!"
With the sound of firecrackers, the gate of the Gongyuan was completely blocked in an instant, and a group of scholars rubbed shoulders and competed to look around, without the usual demeanor. I just want to see if my name has been recorded on that apricot list.
The restaurant opposite the Gongyuan is also the largest and most luxurious No. 1 Scholar building in the capital. A father and son look at this side through the window. They look alike, one big and one small. They are both dressed in dark black clothes. Extraordinary background.
The man is about 30 or so, and his hair volume is a little thin. If you look closely, you will find that this is the emperor Ji Yun who has lost a lot of weight.
The child following him is the current prince Ji Chen.
He looks no more than eight or nine years old, with a little baby fat face straight on the floor, thick black hair tied up high, revealing a broad forehead, a pair of eyes that are very energetic, small? Young? Discipline? Attitude is not bad.
However, seeing the crowds below, a group of students crowded around to read the rankings, some even had their hair loose and their shoes were squeezed out, looking extremely embarrassed, he couldn't help opening his mouth in surprise, his face Showing a bit of childish immature expression.
"Father, they, they are..."
"What's the matter? Ten years? It's a cold window, and it's not easy to be on the gold list! It's human nature for them to be so eager." The emperor waved his hand slightly disapprovingly, "Isn't your grand tutors all living like this? here."
The little boy's eyes became even more rounded.
In the education that Prince Ji Chen received since he was a child, he never thought that there would be such a day in the past for those gentlemen who were highly respected in the past.
At this moment, he saw his father raising his hand to beckon downstairs, with a casual gesture, like a kind elder calling his neighbor's nephew: "Xiao Shi, come this way."
Ji Chen looked intently, and saw a handsome young man in civilian clothes who looked like a girl? He squeezed out from the crowd, his hair and clothes were not half scattered, and when he heard the emperor's greeting, his eyes lit up and he climbed up to the Zhuangyuan Building.
And at least the young man is in front of him, Ji Chen's heart skipped a beat.
As a prince, he is naturally protected by Dao Qi luck, and he is in the capital, where dragon veins gather, so there is invisible Qi luck intertwined into a network around him. The luck was slightly turbulent, even if Ji Chen couldn't see it, he still had a feeling out of thin air.
"...Is it demonic energy?? Is this the incarnation of the demon clan?"
He suddenly understood? His expression was extremely surprised.
"Could this be the monster clan from the academy?"
He did know that, under the current human destiny, as long as he is willing to abide by the order of humanity, there is no difference between a demon and a human, and he can even take the imperial examination.
In the world, there is only a school to teach thousands of monsters, but most of the monster races are more willing to choose to go to the Taoist monastery to practice after they learn how to read and write. Even if his father allows the monster race to take the imperial examination, he has never seen him In the past, there were really monsters involved.
Surprised, he couldn't help but look carefully at the boy in front of him.
He looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, handsome, with red pupils, and looked weak. At this time, he had already started talking to Ji Yun. It seemed that the two had known each other for a long time and were no strangers to each other.
Ji Yun smiled and asked: "Xiao Shi, the first two times you stopped at the general examination, saying that the results of the provincial examination were too poor, and you have to study for two more years? Then take the exam again. I don't know how the results are this time?"
The young man known as Little Ten? With a sad brow, he sighed sadly: "I only got third in the test."
Ji Chen was a little surprised, to be able to win the third place among so many students is quite remarkable, not to mention that this one is still a monster, so he is still not satisfied
But Ji Yun seemed to understand the inside story, and looked at the frowning young man sympathetically: "I don't know if you have the confidence to win the first place in the palace examination?"
"Little Ten" spread his hands, looked at him suddenly, his eyes sparkled, and said in a negotiating tone: "If Your Majesty is willing to help a little, the No. 1 Scholar position can be obtained at your fingertips."
Ji Chen was dumbfounded.
... This is to find the emperor through the back door? His father is not that kind of person!
Since he can remember, he has seen that his father has always been diligent in political affairs and never slack off every day. Ministers of civil and military have praised him a lot, and even compared his father with the founder of the country.
Sure enough, the emperor shook his head resolutely: "No. I have heard about your experience. Although I feel a little sympathetic, it must not disrupt the court's laws and regulations. It's better to rely on your ability. You will be the third in the exam, and you will be the champion. Not difficult."
The young man immediately left in disappointment, with an extremely desolate aura around him. Seeing that the emperor almost couldn't help the upturned corners of his lips, he finally forced it down and coughed.
Ji Chen was extremely puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Father, why does this son have to be the number one scholar?"
"... It's not that he wants to take the No. 1 Scholar Examination, but the National Teacher forced him to take the No. A certain person can't control his own mouth, and thinks that Tanhua is no better than that, and the champion is worth watching."
After saying this, the emperor quickly looked left and right: "Hey, this is all a joke? The national teacher has a big heart. How could he be so petty? Careful? It's just his own guilty conscience."
"It must be him? He has a guilty conscience." Ji Chen nodded again and again, agreeing very much. He has a good impression of that fairy-like national teacher, so he doesn't believe this kind of slander.
Thinking of this, he clenched his fists: "...the father refused well! There is no room for opportunism in national affairs!"
The emperor immediately revealed a serious look and majesty, as if he really thought like what his son said.
... The emperor couldn't help feeling relieved when he thought of that "little" rabbit who studied hard, failed the exam for three years
As for why he thinks this way, who made himself, who owed a huge amount of debt to the National Teacher, to live like this! Seeing someone go bald with him makes him happy :)
The innocent prince obviously didn't know the "evil" thoughts in the emperor's heart? He was showing a look of admiration looking at his tall and majestic father, the emperor who was still alive.
The emperor's expression suddenly became more solemn, and he took the opportunity to educate: "As the emperor, the world should be the most important thing, and you should not be partial. All the people in the world are my responsibility. You will also be like this in the future."
The prince's eyes lit up, and he suddenly called out? It should be.
—In the future, he will definitely become a wise king like Father Huang, who will take charge of the world and govern the country!
In the adoring eyes of his son, the emperor laughed.
The Mingjun development plan is officially launched. The prince must have a good impression of the emperor's position. In the future, he will abdicate early, and it will not be difficult to persuade him to sit on it and pay off his debts, right? Then he will be free!
—Happy, my son was a big success!
