idle king

Chapter 119 Did you agree that I am the protagonist?
"I don't know if Uncle Huang is deliberately embarrassing these people, or he is actually warning these aristocratic families."

In the waterside pavilion, Zhou Jing looked at the woebegone faces of the talented scholars over there, unable to write in embarrassment, thinking of Uncle Huang's weird proposition, she couldn't help but chuckled.

After laughing, Zhou Jing's heart was full of deep thoughts.

Most of today's courts are controlled by aristocratic families, just because of the promise made to them by the Holy One when he ascended the throne.Although the imperial power is still in the hands of the Holy Master, it has to be said that compared with the previous emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the embodiment of the "absolute power" of the current Holy Master is the weakest.

However, because the singing and dancing of the Great Zhou Dynasty was peaceful and prosperous, the conflict between the imperial power and the aristocratic family has not yet completely intensified.And the current Holy Majesty is an extremely powerful person. Over the years, by means of means, he has slowly and secretly regained some power.

According to Zhou Jing's view, one day, the conflict between the two will completely erupt, and at that time, there must be a big cleansing.From Uncle Huang's gradual improvement of the status of generals in recent years, we can also see a clue.

And her task is to stabilize the entire Jiangnan gentry and at the same time secretly monitor their every move.

Unlike Zhou Jing who was deep in thought, the others were just talking and laughing.Especially since Qin Hong came, his voice has been resounding throughout the water pavilion.

"Niece Xiaoyu, do you want uncle to introduce you a wise and powerful husband? Look at my nephew, who is about the same age as you..."

"What? It's already engaged. That bastard made such a quick move? No, that's such a pity."

"Niece Xiaohuan, you're not engaged, are you?"

"It's fine if you don't have one. Would you like uncle to introduce you to a young husband? Yes, it's the shy little brother in front of you..."

"Hey, Qinger, why are you staring at me all the time?"

Seeing the two sisters blushing from what her uncle said, and Qin Yan's elder brother was too irritable, not daring to say a word, sitting there as if doing acupuncture, Qin Wanqing finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Uncle, if you keep talking like this, my niece will drive you away."

"Hey, am I a matchmaker for your clumsy third brother?" As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Yan, who was somewhat disappointed, and spread his hands.

"How could you say that in front of a girl?" Qin Wanqing said angrily.As he spoke, he gave Qin Yan a hard look at the bewildered Qin Yan.

At this time, Qin Yan felt very innocent. His third uncle insisted on talking nonsense. My cousin, I was also helpless.

"I just think niece Xiaohuan is nice." Qin Hong curled his lips, ignoring the warning in his niece's eyes.

At this time, Zhou Jing, who had come back from her deep thoughts, looked at Qin Hong, who seemed to have not given up, and suddenly said coldly: "Sister Xiaohuan already has her heart, so don't mess with it. Now, you Should go there."

Because of their seniority, Qin Wanqing and the others were inconvenient to speak too much, but Zhou Jing didn't have such concerns.

"Well, hehe, it's okay if I don't talk about it. Let's forget about that." Thinking that the princess in front of him is a princess who knows martial arts, Qin Hong couldn't help but smiled embarrassingly.

At this moment, the sky was completely dark.Under the illumination of countless lanterns, the whole garden is like daytime.

At this time, all the young scholars present had handed over their completed poems to the three teachers of Zhao Tingfang for evaluation.After they selected the best poems among them, Mr. Qin finally judged the ranking.

Soon, the three of Zhao Tingfang took turns to read all the poems roughly, then looked at each other, and shook their heads quietly.Then, the three of them looked at Ye Chu, who was at the back of the crowd, with a sneer on the corners of their mouths.

Hehe, do you think that if we just give up, we will give up?
"The student dared to ask the teacher, what is the extra reward the teacher said?" Zhao Tingfang stood up and saluted Mr. Qin.

After Zhao Tingfang asked this question, many people present quietly pricked up their ears.

"Hehe, it's better to leave a little suspense about this." Mr. Qin's eyes drifted across the faces of Zhao Tingfang and the three of them, and then stroked his beard.

"Teacher, please forgive the student's disrespect." Zhao Tingfang also saw something from the teacher's attitude, and then cupped her hands, "The reason why the student asked this question is because he was worried that someone would disdain the teacher's reward, so he just gave up. .”

"Ting Fang, why did you say that?" Old Master Qin said indifferently.

"The students checked the signatures of all the poems just now, but there is only one person missing." Zhao Tingfang said, pointing at Ye Chu who was sitting with the eldest son Zhou Chen in the distance, and said lightly, "I heard that nephew Ye Xian is outstanding in poetry, Presumably, I am not qualified to comment on your poems."

At the same time, after hearing the sound of '唰', everyone present looked at Ye Chu in unison.

These words are a bit embarrassing.A son of a merchant has studied poetry and books for a few days, but now he looks down on three senior teachers.If this is confirmed, in this literati society that pays attention to the inheritance of teachers, even if you have great literary talents, your life will be over.

Looking at Ye You again, she also looked confused at this moment.No, it's my fault for giving up?How can you come up with so many groundless speculations for me?If you don't write science fiction, you're just wasting your brainpower.

And Zhou Chen was even more bewildered.

It is agreed that I am the protagonist this time. How to judge this posture, the situation is not good.

"Teacher is joking. I'm just afraid that writing it out will not only embarrass you, but also Mr. Shen." Ye You said it politely, but it always sounded like something was wrong.Especially singling out Shen Ziyan is the most outrageous.

No matter what your status is, it is disrespectful to be pointed at in person.Now that the other party is like this, Ye Chu simply stopped pretending.

"Teacher joking? Hmph, I think you are joking." Sure enough, Shen Ziyan's face changed when he heard Ye Chu's words, and he jumped out immediately. He wanted to speak ill, but thought Qin Wanqing was still watching He could only hold back and said, "A person who doesn't even dare to write, but speaks nonsense here, it's extremely ridiculous."

"It's really arrogant. Since you are so arrogant, then write a poem. I want to see how your poems embarrass me." Zhao Tingfang sneered.

After finishing speaking, he handed the selected masterpieces to Mr. Qin and said, "These three poems are the most outstanding poems among them."

From the beginning to the end, Ye Chu had a calm expression on his face.And Mr. Qin also watched the whole scene, neither speaking to stop nor agreeing.

"Hehe, Mr. Ye, don't be in a hurry to start writing. It has already passed the stipulated time and half a stick of incense. Even if Mr. Ye writes it, it will not be convincing to us. Why don't you ask the old man to come up with a question. Mr. Ye thinks very highly of himself, so he must not Don't mind." At this moment, Shen Ziyan spoke again.

And the others echoed Shen Ziyan's words.

Only Zhong Nanshan remained silent, looking at Ye Chu with a hint of doubt.If this drama hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have even ignored the existence of such a young man.

"Since it's related to the imperial examination this time, let's do it this way. I'll use the imperial examination high school as the theme, and write another one." Mr. Qin glanced lightly, and said the title.

"Yes." Hearing this, Ye Chu nodded.

Seeing Ye Chu agreeing, a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of Shen Ziyan's mouth.

Imperial high school, hmph, this seems simple, but it is actually more difficult to write than failing the exam.

As the saying goes: good-looking skins are all the same, but interesting souls are unique.

Likewise, 'sad' can take countless forms.However, "happy" is somewhat vague, he does not believe that the other party can write a flower.
