His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so aloof that he did not read the article at all, but looked directly at the reviews and comments of the Hanlin scholars. The first thing that caught his eye was Ye Junsheng's. The reviews were extremely high and he was recommended as the top pick.
When Zhao Kuangqi looked at it, a wave of bad breath surged from his heart, and he was filled with unspeakable anger. Regardless of etiquette, he threw Ye Junsheng's article down and sneered: "Ye Junsheng, you can be the number one scholar?"
It can be said that this move is quite rude and not at all in line with the decency of a future king. Seeing this, all the civil and military officials below frowned and felt that something was wrong. Even the princeling Chu Yunyu and others felt that His Highness was a bit reckless. In public, rashly slamming down a scholar candidate's article is like a child losing his temper. After all, it is inappropriate.
There was sudden silence in the main hall, and even the sound of breathing could be heard.
The Second Prince raised his eyebrows, stood up suddenly, and said: "Why did Your Highness throw down the scholar's article? If it spreads, I'm afraid it will cause criticism among the scholars."
"I knew you would definitely speak up for him!"
Zhao Kuangqi roared loudly, like an angry lion. He stood up suddenly, his beard bulging angrily, and his eyes were a little red.
Gaffe, a real gaffe.
The ministers had no idea that His Royal Highness, who was so well behaved, could suddenly act so furious. It seemed that his moody temper was becoming even more difficult to control. What can I do if the country has this king?
Recently, Zhao Kuangqi has been aggressively rejecting dissidents and carrying out a large-scale purge. However, under the governance of Emperor Hua Ming, there were still many talented people in the civil and military affairs of the dynasty. They never want the country to be handed over to a tyrant, causing the country's foundation to be destroyed.
However, the concept of monarch and ministers and the ethical principles have been deeply ingrained for a long time. Since ancient times, when the emperor dies and the prince ascends the throne to take over, the conventional idea has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Unless there is a change of dynasty, it will be passed down from generation to generation. Now that Emperor Hua Ming was seriously ill and not a single word had been spread, everyone naturally assumed that Zhao Kuangqi was the successor. Although the second prince was a virtuous man, he had no choice but to live in a temple due to his unfair reputation.
??????????????????? But it is a recognition, and there are still worthy ministers who dare to speak out. When they see the prince, he gets angry inexplicably and loses the integrity of the country. They stood up one after another and went straight to remonstrate.
These people have left prime ministers, secret envoys, and Hanlin University scholars. There were dozens of people there, all of whom were high-ranking officials. They all stood in front of His Highness and remonstrated, saying that the Crown Prince had behaved inappropriately.
With so many people, they can be regarded as half of the pillars of Tianhua's government, and their weight is definitely not light.
Zhao Kuangqi sneered: "Why, you all have to speak for Ye Junsheng?"
All the ministers said in unison, "I don't dare." He just said that His Highness the Crown Prince should act according to the rules.
It can be said that this incident occurred without any warning at all, and it happened suddenly. It only shocked the scholar candidates who did not have much experience in government affairs and were all stunned. Their eyes fell on Ye Junsheng invariably. I thought to myself that this talented man Ye was really capable of twisting things. When did he offend the prince? He really didn't know how to live or die.
Although no one understands what happened, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that the prince dislikes Ye Junsheng. Not just dislike it. It can even be said that I was so disgusted that I wrote the article directly.
At this moment. As the protagonist in the eye of the storm, Ye Junsheng still looks sick and untroubled, but he doesn't know what his inner plans are.
Are you frightened?
"good very good!"
Zhao Kuangqi suddenly calmed down and sat back on the throne, his eyes passing over the faces of the ministers who dared to remonstrate with him one by one. His eyes flickered, not knowing what to plan.
Next, Chu Yunyu suddenly figured it out: Your Highness did this on purpose, pretending to be furious and losing his temper, thereby attracting a group of people headed by the Second Prince to come out
This is taking sides!
Chu Yunyu suddenly felt that His Highness the Crown Prince had become wiser and could actually use this trick to lure the snake out of its hole and finally catch it all.
Good plan!
A sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Zhao Kuangqi sat still and said: "Then according to what you said, how should I deal with it?"
The Second Prince held back his anger and said: "At the very least, Your Highness should read the articles of the scholars. If there is anything really wrong, then you can deal with it."
As someone who has struggled with the emperor's brother for many years, how could he not know Zhao Kuangqi's intentions. It's just that the situation is at this point, and we are retreating step by step. If we don't make a last ditch effort, we will have no chance.
Zhao Kuangqi glanced at him: "My brother, do you want me to read Ye Junsheng's article before making a decision?"
"good."
"Okay, let me see what beautiful articles the so-called most talented man in the world can write. If there is any violation, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Zhao Kuangming sighed in his heart when he heard this. He also knew exactly what tricks the emperor brother would use. It's nothing more than polishing sentences and trying to find fault with Ye Junsheng's article.
There is no such thing as first-class writing, let alone perfection. Literal interpretation, often with different intentions, results in different results. As the saying goes, "Qingfeng is illiterate, so why is he flipping through books randomly?" If you say you are anti-poetry, then you are anti-poetry.
In addition, Zhao Kuang clearly understands Ye Junsheng¡¯s temperament, his poems are full of words, and he dares to paint birds and white eyes towards the sky.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It is easy to be caught in a loophole, misunderstood, and then labeled and convicted.
But I heard His Royal Highness the Prince shout: "Come here, pick up Ye Junsheng's article and bring it up."
Immediately, the eunuch on duty came over, picked up the article that had fallen to the ground, and then handed it over respectfully.
Zhao Kuangqi held the article in his hand and immediately opened it to read¡ª¡ª
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
I couldn't hear a low whisper, but when I saw the rice paper article, the colorful literary spirit between the lines was excited. Thousands of threads, wisps, and thousands of them condensed into a piece of brilliance. It was so colorful that it was impossible to see what words were written on it. .
This splendor was originally impossible for Zhao Kuangqi to see and see. Although he is a prince, he is still a mortal, and many mysteries can only be understood, not intuitively. However, now, he could actually see clearly. Not only was it clear, but tens of thousands of colorful rays of light were like needles, piercing directly into his pupils.
Attack, these colorful cultural energy are attacking him again!
Zhao Kuangqi was shocked. For a moment, his ideology was actually confused. He had no idea what this ball of light was, but for the first time, his thinking reaction even surpassed the original body. It's like there is another soul god in his mind, able to immediately take a posture of defense and resistance.
Hiss!
A burst of black energy roared out and hit the colorful literary energy fiercely.
When the two auras met, it was like enemies meeting on a narrow road, and they were extremely jealous. In just a moment, the fight was inextricable and inextricable.
Of course, outsiders have no way of observing these conditions. Everyone was preparing to receive the prince's comments with their own thoughts. On the clinker dragon chair, Zhao Kuangqi looked at Ye Junsheng's article and became motionless like an old monk in trance. (To be continued)
