Chapter 300 A Difficult Choice! The Champion Chen Xun!

Latest website:

Royal study room.

Zhu Gaoxu and Big Fatty sat opposite each other.

Chen Xun, Wang Ao and other ten talented people followed the eunuch into a side hall to wait.

Looking around, Chen Xun was surprised to find that Chen Ding, the twenty-seventh candidate from the last competition, was also among them.

This is somewhat interesting!

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be much difference between the ranking in the general examination and the ranking in the palace examination.

After all, the candidates' true talents and knowledge are there, and the examination has already reflected their actual talents and knowledge.

This means that it should be reasonable if the ranking in the imperial examination is not much different from the ranking in the general examination.

But when he thought about the questions in the general examination and the palace examination, Chen Xun felt relieved.

Damn it, the topic is completely different, so it’s strange that the ranking remains the same!

Just like this, Chen Xun's heart became excited again.

After all, he also wants to be No. 1 in high school and create the myth of winning three prizes in a row!

Wang Ao, Chen Ding and others were also looking at the other nine people.

After all, everyone knows that these ten people must be the top three in the first-class and the top seven in the second-class!

Moreover, the selection for this imperial examination was all handled by His Highness the King of Han. Now that the King of Han is gaining momentum, they must all have a bright future!

Thinking of this, everyone is very friendly and introduces each other to each other. They are considered friends of the same period.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, military attachés and honorable ministers fell into decline, and civil servants formed cliques to control the government.

And the way they form a party is like being from the same hometown, being from the same school, classmates, same period, same year, same subject, younger brother, etc. As long as they can be related, they can form a party!

There is an inkstone on the same side, sitting on the same bench, and being taught by a teacher. The classmates are called "classmate seats."

Later, when there were a few more students, there were more chairs to sit on, but the house was not big, so teachers and students had to enter and exit through the same door, so it was called "the same door".

Later, the house got bigger and brighter, but there was only one window. Students had to squeeze under the window to read together and bathe in the sunshine, so they were called "classmates".

In the same year, one refers to those who are of the same age, and in the other, those who pass the imperial examination are called those who are on the same list or in the same year, and those who are in the same subject are those who are on the same high school list. The honorific title between those who passed the exam in the same list is "Brother Nian".

In order to form parties for personal gain and control the government, the literati tried their best.

The shamelessness of literati is evident!

At this moment, Chen Xun and others are calling each other "Brother Nian" with great enthusiasm, which has left a good impression, and they can support each other in the officialdom in the future.

For example, Chen Xun and Chen Ding could be from the same family. Maybe their ancestors were brothers five hundred years ago.

So the two sat directly together, and their relationship instantly became closer.

Soon the chief steward, Little Nose, came in and said, "Where is Chen Ding? His Highness the Crown Prince bids you an audience!"

"There is a laborer father-in-law."

When Chen Ding heard this, his heart moved, and he followed the eunuch and rushed to the prince's appointment.

Although he is just His Highness the Crown Prince, he is not the emperor of today.

But there was nothing they could do about it. After all, His Majesty the Emperor was on his own expedition, and they couldn't see him even if they wanted to.

What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the current crown prince, who is famous for his generosity, kindness, and consideration for talents.

If he gets the approval of the Crown Prince, his future career will be bright.

Little Nose led Chen Ding into the imperial study.

As soon as Chen Ding walked in, his heart felt cold.

Because in addition to the kind-hearted prince, there was also a rough man sitting next to him.

Looking at this rough man's sinewy face and wearing a beautiful python suit, any fool would know that this must be the Prince of the Han Dynasty!

"Student Chen Ding, come to see His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the King of Han!"

"No need to be polite!"

Big Fatty looked at Chen Ding seriously and saw that this man had a tough and resolute face, and he immediately felt a lot of affection for him.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw this, he secretly sighed that this man was born to be an official.

After all, if you wanted to be an official in ancient times, if you were too ugly, you basically had no chance.

The court will not accept ugly people who are inhumane.

"Chongqi (Chen Ding), are you from Xinxing County, Zhaoqing Prefecture?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince is wise, and the student is from Xinxing County, Zhaoqing Prefecture."

"Zhaoqing Prefecture straddles the throat of Guangdong and Guangxi. It has always had the reputation of 'the first state from Lingnan to the south'. Now that a great talent from Lingnan like you has appeared, you are truly an outstanding person!"

"The students are terrified, His Highness the Crown Prince is praising you ridiculously!"

Big Pangpang and Chen Ding were chatting away, while Zhu Gaoxu frowned and looked at Chen Ding's answer sheet.

Among the four major questions in the imperial examination, Chen Ding also chose Nong Sang.

However, he did not start advocating a prosperous world and whitewashing the peace with his mulberry trees, as most candidates did.

The core of this guy's discussion is also about land annexation, which coincides with Chen Xun's.

But compared to Chen Xun who dared to criticize the current ills and hit the nail on the head, Chen Ding was much more tactful and prudent, and the solutions he proposed were also more prudent. He did not directly wield a sword to look at the gentry's fame like Chen Xun, but step by step restricted the gentry's use of fame. Exploit the loopholes in the Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations!

Both of them are rare talents. Big Fatty likes the mature and prudent Chen Ding, but Zhu Gaoxu prefers the young and courageous Chen Xun!

At this moment, Big Fatty and Chen Ding were having a lively chat, but Zhu Gaoxu suddenly interrupted at an inappropriate time.

"Chen Ding, this policy paper you wrote is very good."

"But I want to ask you, if the imperial court gives you the power of imperial envoy in the future and gives you full power to deal with the annexation of land by the gentry, will you have the courage and ambition?!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Ding was startled when he heard the words.

Imperial envoy!

Full authority to deal with the annexation of land by the gentry!

What kind of overwhelming authority would this be?

And once it is done, it will be famous enough to go down in history!

However, if you really do this, you will offend the gentry of the world!

Chen Ding obviously hesitated for a long time and did not directly refuse or accept.

After all, the choice he makes at this moment will obviously affect his future career, and even the fate of Chen Ding's life!

Seeing Chen Ding frowning and deep in thought, Zhu Gaoxu and Big Pangpang didn't think there was anything wrong. On the contrary, because this man was mature and prudent, they were even more satisfied with his performance.

Suddenly, Chen Ding seemed to have thought of something and looked directly at Prince Han, the prisoner.

"May I ask His Highness the King of Han, does the imperial court want to curb the trend of land annexation?"

"If this is really the case, Chen Ding is willing to share your worries and take advantage of your salary, so he should be loyal to you!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaoxu and Big Fatty looked at each other, smiled, and nodded happily.

"Okay, in that case, please step back for now!"

As soon as Chen Ding left, Big Pangpang sighed: "Second brother, this Chen Ding can be the number one scholar. Whether it is talent, learning or temperament, he is the best choice!"

Zhu Gaoxu also nodded, "The next step is to rectify the gentry who have annexed the land. Let Chen Ding, the number one scholar in high school, have such a good background. If he is promoted in the future, the resistance will be much smaller."

Hearing this, Big Fatty suddenly became happy.

"Then it's settled? Chen Ding is the number one scholar?"

"Don't worry, isn't there Chen Xun on UU Reading www.uukanshu.net?"

Soon Chen Xun walked in. It was still the same process and the same taste.

One of Zhu Gaoxu and Big Pang Pang played a red face, and the other a bad face. Within a moment, Chen Xun was deceived and became lame.

"Chen Xun, I ask you, do you have the courage to ask you to regulate the gentry and annex their fields in the future?"

"May I ask His Highness the King of Han, when will the imperial court begin to regulate? Students can take up their posts immediately!"

Zhu Gaoxu: "???"

Big Fatty: “???”

What?

immediately?

Going to take office?

Oh my god!

Don't you have any hesitation?

Why did those gentry annex your land?

Zhu Gaoxu and Big Fatty looked at each other, somewhat dumbfounded.

After Chen Xun left, both of them were a little confused.

There is only one champion, but now there are two outstanding talents.

It doesn't seem fair to pick any one of them.

What's more, Zhu Gaoxu likes Chen Xun, and Big Fatty is optimistic about Chen Ding. Neither of them can convince the other for a while.

Just at this moment, Little Sniffle suddenly spoke up and said with a smile: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King of Han, I heard that this Chen Xun is both Jieyuan and Huiyuan, why not be as beautiful as a man?"

Little Sniffle just knew that even if a student won three yuan, he was afraid that the emperor would be happy for a while after hearing the news.

As soon as he said this, Big Fatty sighed, pinched his nose and nodded.

"Whatever, it's not easy for him. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a hero who has won three yuan in a row!"

Zhu Gaoxu also smiled and said: "This is an honor that will go down in history, and it is also an encouragement recognized by the world!"

"I hope that all students of the Ming Dynasty will follow Chen Xun's example, pass the three Yuan imperial examinations and become officials, serve the imperial court and benefit all people!"
