Chapter 40: policy question

Views:

Li Chaoge entered the palace, and after questioning the palace attendants, he learned that the Emperor Tianhou was in the Luocheng Palace, and personally asked the new Jinshi.

Li Chaoge carried his skirt, entered the Luocheng Palace through the side door, and stopped behind the screen with light hands and feet. Across the blurry screen of ladies with hairpin flowers, Li Chaoge saw a gorgeous and noble couple sitting at the top of the palace, and standing below? Many men in scarlet clothes, ranging from weak crowns to not confused, of different ages, and among them The most eye-catching one is undoubtedly a man with a hale figure and appearance like a banished fairy.

In the past, I was used to seeing Gu Mingke in white clothes, but I didn't expect him to change into red clothes, and he would look like the morning sun and snow, with a hint of beauty in his clothes, standing in the hall, shining brightly, shining indescribably. Li Chaoge looked at it for a long while, and couldn't help but admire in his heart.

She originally thought that Gu Mingke's appearance was only suitable for cool-colored clothes, but she didn't expect that as long as he was a good person? Look, what to wear? The color is not a problem.

Not only Li Chaoge was looking at Gu Mingke, but the palace servants in the Luocheng Palace, the emperor's couple on the high platform, and even the tributes who came to face the saint, all focused on Gu Mingke. And Gu Mingke didn't seem to notice the sight around him, his voice was clear and clear, and he said in a calm manner: "Morality and etiquette are the foundation of politics and religion, and punishment is used by politics and religion. Law is used by politics and religion and is independent of politics and religion. When punishing and convicting crimes, we should think extensively about punishment, and the common people should act as the public, so that we can clean up politics and correct morality."

Before Li Chaoge came in, the emperor probably asked a question, and Gu Mingke discussed it on the spot, and now it has come to an end. After he made his conclusion, he cupped his hands slightly, indicating that he had finished answering.

Li Chaoge didn't know what Gu Mingke said earlier? But judging from the expressions on everyone's faces, it should be very good. The emperor sat on the top and clapped his hands in praise, without concealing his admiration for Gu Mingke: "Well said? Did you answer the test paper well? After the Minister of Rites circulated it, they all said that this paper was very good, and they couldn't grade it, so? Transfer to Dali Temple and be judged by the princes of Dali Temple. After reading it, the minister of Dali Temple said that your answer sheet has reached the peak, nothing to do? There is nothing to change, so it is directly rated as the first. Because you were admitted, the other students of the Mingfa Department The answer sheet is far from enough to be on par with yours, so I didn't record one, and sent them all back for re-examination. I thought that the article was carefully prepared by you, but I didn't expect that the live answering was also impeccable. Wonderful, really? Wonderful."

Tianhou smiled and answered: "I've read Gu Mingke's test paper, and it's really well written. I've asked someone to copy it down and sent it to the prince, King Zhao and the envoys of the inner palace to study. In this way, it is really my luck."

Li Chaoge heard that the Ministry of Rites had recorded Gu Mingke, because Gu Mingke was the number one? The standard was too high, and the rest of the Mingfa Department could not be recorded, so they were all suspended. Li Chaoge clicked his tongue inwardly, inexplicably feeling sorry for the student he was referring to in the same year as Gu Mingke.

What a pity, what did they do wrong

When the other Jinshi heard that the empress had given such a high evaluation to Gu Mingke, they were both envious and jealous for a while, but when they thought of the conversation just now, they had nothing to say. It is said that Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second, but when the ability is a whole step higher, even the peers can feel the difference in depth.

The emperor sat on a high platform to receive the new Jinshi, and Tianhou sat calmly beside the emperor. There was no bead curtain or screen in front of him, just facing him directly? Everyone talked, and even felt that she was the leader of the palace examination. After the Queen of Heaven praised Gu Mingke, she looked back at the emperor and said, "Sage, Gu Mingke's ancestors were great masters in literature and history, and he himself is also extremely talented. It would be a pity if such a person did not enter the court. Right? Good? He has aspirations for the judiciary." , let’s go to Dali Temple. The first official appointment should not be too high, what do you think of a sage from Liupin Temple?”

Although the emperor was the son of heaven, he had been husband and wife with Tin Hau for twenty years. To him, it was normal for Tin Hau to make decisions about government affairs for him, just like a folk wife advising her husband on basic necessities of life. The emperor felt that Tianhou's suggestion was very reasonable, so he didn't think too much about it. He nodded and said, "Okay? Let's be the prime minister of Dali Temple. Only by slowly rising from the humble position can we sharpen our will and exercise our ability."

Gu Mingke has nothing to say about this? Opinion. It's not that he really wants to be an official in the mortal world, he's just too bored and wants to find something for himself to pass the time, so no matter what he does as an official, it doesn't make any difference to him. Gu Mingke has never had the experience of slowly climbing from a low position. Perhaps experiencing the ordinary life of an ordinary person will be of great benefit to him to break through his state of mind and improve his cultivation.

Gu Mingke raised his hand, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I obey the order. Thank you saint and queen."

Gu Mingke has now been awarded an official, and the starting point is from the sixth rank, and everyone present cast envious eyes. After the emperor finished asking Gu Mingke, he looked at the others. When the others saw this, they quickly looked away, looking forward to it? The emperor asked himself.

Questions and answers in the field kept coming and going, and Gu Mingke noticed that everyone's eyes were gradually shifting away, except for one, who never left.

Gu Mingke's expression was indifferent, just as if he didn't know, just like he pretended not to see someone behind the screen. Covered by a screen, Li Chaoge looked at Gu Mingke unscrupulously. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Gu Mingke was good? It was a pity that his vision was not good.

Where is it not good to go? I have to go to Dali Temple.

There was a question and answer in the hall, when suddenly there was a rustling sound from behind. Li Chaoge turned his head and saw Li Changle leading a large group of maids running into the side hall with their waist down. Seeing that Li Chaoge was there, Li Changle smiled awkwardly, and asked, "Sister, are you here to watch the Shinke Scholars too? I heard that there is one that is particularly good this year? Look, where is he?"

Li Chaoge thought it was good? Can I point it out to you? Li Chaoge said indifferently, "I? I don't know who you're talking about. I? I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you."

As Li Chaoge said, he was about to leave. Judging by the voices of the emperor and the queen, it is estimated that the imperial examination will be over in a short time. She had to block the road outside and cut off Gu Mingke.

Li Changle smiled coyly, and said, "That's okay? Let me find it myself." She lost her voice, and a court lady covered her mouth with an excited expression, and tried her best to suppress her voice, and said, "Princess, come quickly, I? I saw it! My God, it’s like a fairy descending from the earth!”

When Li Changle heard this, he quickly raised his skirt and squeezed past. She lay on the gap of the screen and tried to look out: "Hey, isn't this brother Pei's cousin? It's him?"

At this time, the maids also saw the shadow, and they became more and more excited. They scrambled to squeeze forward, all wanting to witness the exiled fairy. Li Changle hated the crowding, so he pushed back: "Don't squeeze, I'm almost unsteady."

The maid in the back was standing on tiptoe to look at people. She couldn't stand stably, but she suddenly lost her balance when pushed by Li Changle. The maids instinctively grabbed the people around them, and they brought down one by one. In the end, the maids and Li Changle huddled together, knocked down the screen with a plop, and Gululu fell to the ground.

Li Chaoge took two steps, when a voice suddenly came from behind him. When she turned around, she happened to see Li Changle and the maids fell into a ball, knocked over the screen and rolled out. Li Chaoge was stunned. She raised her head and saw a few new scholars in the main hall who were asking questions, and looked at them in astonishment.

Gu Mingke kept pretending not to know the prying eyes behind the screen. He thought he had given these little ladies enough face, but in the end, he tried to avoid suspicion, but they fell out by themselves. For a while, the inside and outside of the hall were quiet, and Gu Mingke was the first to react. He swept across the colorful and tangled women on the ground, looked at Li Chaoge who was standing there, and saluted first: "See Princess Anding, Princess Guangning."

The others also came back to their senses, and bowed down one after another: "See the princess."

Li Chaoge wanted to cover his face, oh my god, it's so embarrassing. It's not polite for women to hide behind a screen to watch people, but the women of Tang Dynasty didn't pay attention to etiquette. As long as you don't mention me? Don't mention it, everyone can bring this matter to the past in a lively manner. Who would have thought that Li Changle would jump out, and even bring a flipping screen with him? Exposing Li Chaoge.

The sky is a lesson, Li Chaoge is leaving, what does it matter to her

But no matter how embarrassing it is, the situation has to be sustained. Li Chaoge endured embarrassment, reserved and solemnly nodded to Gu Mingke and the others: "Gu Langjun, how are you Jinshi?"

Li Changle struggled to get up from the ground, nodded casually, and quickly hid behind the maid. The faces of the emperor and queen above are very bad? Look, the servants in front of the imperial court saw that something was wrong, so they quickly smoothed things over and said, "Jinshi is the pillar of the court, and words and deeds have a lot to do with it. The sage Tianhou examines Jinshi's studies? Ask, maybe the two princesses also have something to say ask."

Li Changle hid behind the maid and refused to show her face. She just came to see the handsome man, so why did she prepare anything? Question? These Jinshi piled up looked not very good, but picked out individually, each of them is the best among scholars. Li Changle can't even memorize the Six Classics, so how dare he play tricks. If she asks a really stupid question, it's really laughable.

Li Changle didn't dare to ask Wenjing, Li Chaoge was even more afraid. But someone has to come forward. Li Chaoge endured the embarrassment, and said solemnly: "I read the Law Book a few days ago, and there is a question that I have been puzzled about. Do you dare to ask the head of the Mingfa Department to clarify?"

Everyone didn't expect Li Chaoge to actually ask. They were surprised for a moment and looked at Gu Mingke together. The crown of the Ming Law Department is obviously Gu Mingke.

Gu Mingke signaled slightly, and said: "I am very honored to be able to solve the princess' confusion."

"A person is devoted to righteousness, filial to his parents, friendly to his neighbors, and is well-received in the market? But he killed his own wife. May I ask this person, should he be convicted?"

"Naturally." Gu Mingke said calmly, unhurriedly, "The law doesn't ask for affection? Respect and filial piety are the best, but murder should be severely punished."

"Okay?" Li Chaoge asked again, "There is another woman, she is notorious, withdrawn and perverted, she killed the murderer in order to avenge her relatives, may I ask if this person should be convicted?"

After Li Chaoge finished speaking, there were slight voices in the hall, and the Jinshi discussed with each other, apparently each had their own opinions. As for Gu Mingke's expression? Still calm, he said without hesitation, "Should."

Li Chaoge's expression changed slightly, and then he heard Gu Mingke say: "But she happened for a reason, the murder charge cannot be changed, and the sentencing can be discretionary."

Li Chaoge was quite satisfied with this answer. She nodded and thanked Gu Mingke: "Thank you, Mr. Gu. I hope that Mr. Gu will uphold justice in Dali Temple in the future, correct injustice and correct mistakes, and give back to the common people." Brighten the world."

Gu Mingke also returned the gift. The two pretended to look like that? It really looked like that.

After this interruption, the embarrassment just now can be regarded as over. The emperor glanced at the two of them with a frown and asked, "Chao Ge, what are you asking for?"

"Returning to the saint, I asked this because I heard a strange case on the street. I found it incredible, so I brought it here to ask the crown head of the Mingfa Department selected by the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Rites." Li Chaoge finished speaking, to The emperor Tianhou saluted and said, "To be honest with the saint and the queen, this case happened recently. It is the Raksha bird cannibalism case. The minister brought back two suspects, the father Mo Dalang was acquitted, and the daughter However, Mo Linlang was charged with all the crimes, and the minister felt that the judgment of Dali Temple was unfair, so he dared to ask the saint Tianhou for mercy, and asked her to retry the case."

This... The emperor frowned. Since it was a case judged by Dali Temple, it would be wrong to overturn it hastily. He was about to refuse, but Li Chaoge saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Sage, you and Tianhou said a few days ago that you want to choose the real one. He is a genuinely talented person, but reading books well does not mean that he is actually talented. Although Gu Mingke is the number one, none of us have ever seen how talented he really is. Why don't we let him take this The case is practiced, with the judgment of the senior of Dali Temple ahead of him, it can test his ability without worrying about him going astray. Saint, Queen of Heaven, what do you think?"

When Gu Mingke heard Li Chaoge's words, his eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Li Chaoge lightly. This woman is really relentless and unscrupulous. In order to achieve her goal, she does not hesitate to slander Gu Mingke.

Some time ago, he said that his grammar was particularly good? Lu Shu came here casually, and after a while, he was able to say that he was only mediocre and talkative on paper without blinking an eye.

Are all mortal women so fickle
