Chapter Eight: The Champion and Fu Shanxiang

Li Shiqi didn’t expect that Wang Qinglu would frown, shake his head and sigh along the way. He was actually considering whether to become the number one scholar! He suddenly couldn’t laugh or cry, “Brother Wang, the number one scholar is not a cabbage. You are smoking from your ancestral grave. Do you know that? That’s right!

Isn't this what your ancestors chose for you! Why are you still hesitating! If the Han Dynasty unified the world, you would be the founding father of the country, and you might even be granted the title of prime minister. What can you get in Beidi? Scholars? Juren?"

Wang Qinglu sat still as if she had been enlightened. After a while, she stood up and hugged Li Shiqi and said, "Thanks to my wise brother for giving me a heads-up. Brother Fool is just ashamed. From now on, as a brother, he should bow to the big man and die like a wise brother."

Early in the morning, like a sharp sword, it splits the silent night and welcomes the rising sun.

Scholars in twos and threes came together to the place where the results were announced, waiting for the fate to be decided.

"Come on, come on, don't be crowded, there are only so many people, you can see them everywhere."

"Get out of the way, don't step on my feet..."

…………

"Why does it start from fourth place?"

Li Shiqi and Wang Qinglu squeezed to the front and looked for their names one by one on the red list. Li Shiqi held his breath and read line by line. The fourth was Wang Debang, the fifth was Li Liangping...the tenth was Huang Shaochun, the eleventh

The name is Li Shiqi, "Brother Wang, I won... I won, I finally won the Jinshi, haha... God, didn't you let me win the imperial examination? Now I won the Jinshi! Haha" Li Shiqi couldn't help but said to the sky

Yelling, venting the anger in his heart for many years.

Wang Qinglu didn't notice her name until the end, and thought to herself: Is it also called Luosun Mountain? Hearing Li Shiqi hit the ground, she reluctantly smiled and said: "Congratulations, dear brother, you have finally realized your long-cherished wish for many years."

After Li Shiqi got excited, she felt uncomfortable everywhere in her body, and she spoke with a smile, "Where is Brother Wang? I haven't finished reading yet!"

"Wang Qinglu, Zhao Liewen, and Yang Jinlong tied for first place. The King of Han ordered them to appear in court and hold a palace examination!"

Li Shiqi listened to the soldier dressed like a personal guard and congratulated Wang Qinglu happily: "Congratulations, brother Wang, for ranking among the top three, you can expect to be number one!"

Wang Qinglu relaxed all over, wiped away the sweat, and secretly rejoiced, "Thank you for your kind words, I'm going to do it for my brother."

Li Yunzhong looked at the three people greeting him below. He became more and more satisfied as he looked at them. He looked at them and said, "Zhao Liewen has known Wang for a long time, and Yang Jinlong has also been acquainted with him. Your name is Wang Qinglu?"

Wang Qinglu did not dare to raise his head and said respectfully: "The grassroots man is Wang Qinglu."

"Okay, I have read the papers of all three of you. It is really difficult to distinguish between them, so I will ask you a few questions and I will draw up a ranking. Do you have any opinions?"

"Your Majesty, I respectfully request the Holy Judgment."

"The first question is, what kind of minister do you want to be? You don't have to answer in detail, just tell me your idol." Li Yunzhong asked with an idea.

Zuo Zongtang's look of surprise flashed across his face. Is this different from what was discussed before? Did the King of Han suspect that I leaked the test questions? Or was it just a whim?

Zhao Liewen thought for a while and first replied: "Zhuge Kongming!"

Yang Jinlong is not far behind, "Liu Bowen!"

Wang Qinglu finally said: "Wei Zheng!"

"Haha... Okay, they are all famous ministers and generals in ancient times. I am very satisfied with them. The second question is, what system do you think the Han Dynasty implemented?"

Zuo Zongtang was relieved when he heard this. It seemed that the King of Han was just acting on a whim and did not doubt me.

Yang Jinlong was the first to say: "Since we, the Han Dynasty, are called Han, we will naturally implement the Han Dynasty system established by Liu Bang."

Zhao Liewen smiled confidently, "The King of Han was determined to imitate Emperor Hongwu in expelling the Tartars, so naturally he had to imitate the system of the Ming Dynasty."

Wang Qinglu said: "Please, Your Majesty, save the common people from death, so that the common people dare to speak out."

Li Yunzhong smiled confidently and said: "Although I am not a wise ruler, I will never punish my ministers because of my words. Just say it!" Seeing that Wang Qinglu was still hesitating, he encouraged: "Even if you ask me to surrender to the Tartars,

I won’t kill you either, a gentleman’s words are hard to follow.”

Wang Qinglu was very grateful. She raised her head and looked at the King of Han. She saw that he was in his twenties, with short hair and a beard-like appearance. He was handsome but vigorous. He sighed in his heart. This King of Han has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix. His appearance in the sky should be like that of Li Shimin.

Master Ming, it seems that I don’t have to worry about my fate by following Wei Zheng. “The system has been carefully considered and polished by successive dynasties, and it will only get better and better. Today’s system in the Qing Dynasty is not bad. I, a great man,

We should imitate the various systems of the Qing Dynasty."

Everyone was worried about him. Even if the King of Han did not kill him, Wang Qinglu would completely fall out of favor.

Li Yunzhong was not angry, but thought Wang Qinglu's advice was reasonable. He thought for a moment and said: "The Ming Dynasty's system is good, and this Qingyao system also has merits. Zuo Zongtang, Zhao Liewen, Yang Jinlong, and Wang Qinglu, you four are here

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, we should make reference to each other and create a system suitable for the Han Dynasty."

"According to the order," the four of them replied in unison.

Li Yunzhong announced the results, "Today is an important day for the Han Dynasty. The first imperial examination has officially ended. I will announce the results below."

"Wang Jinlong is the flower explorer"

"Zhao Liewen is second in the list"

"Wang Qinglu is the number one scholar"

…………

Xu Yuexiang looked at Li Yunzhong who came back happily and said: "Husband, the female champion is still waiting for your interview!"

"There is also a female champion? Isn't there just one person?" Li Yunzhong exclaimed.

Su Sanniang said matter-of-factly: "If she takes the exam alone, wouldn't she be the number one scholar? How could she still be in second place? My husband is still waiting outside!"

Li Yunzhong Petrochemical: I didn’t expect that the title of female champion would be so easy to obtain. This is the first female champion since ancient times. She can go down in history like Empress Wu Zetian!

"Then you invite her to come in. If she is really talented, I will grant her an official position, which can be regarded as equality between men and women." Li Yunzhong was helpless and didn't even want to read the paper.

Xu Yuexiang led a woman who walked in with her head lowered, "Fu Shanxiang, a citizen girl, comes to see His Highness the King of Han. May the King of Han live a thousand years."

"What's your name? Lift your head." Li Yunzhong suddenly became interested when he saw her soft and crisp voice, her well-proportioned and beautiful figure, and her delicacy.

"Folk girl Fu Shanxiang, a native of Nanjing." The woman raised her head and replied softly. Her face was so beautiful that she looked like a pearl, her jade shimmered, and there was a faint air of bookishness between her brows and eyes.

Li Yunzhong thought: Fu Shanxiang, is it her? He picked up the answer sheet on the table and read it carefully:

Three emperors are not enough to be emperors, five emperors are not enough to be emperors, but I, the emperor, am the true emperor... Women are not necessarily inferior to men. In ancient times, Wu Zetian came to the court and proclaimed herself emperor. Today, Queen Su leaps on her horse to attack the enemy and assists the king of Han to achieve great achievements...

The sound of the boat is no longer heard, and the mountains and rivers send lonely sails;

The opposite side is as green as a painting, and looking back is full of green rocks.

Clouds curled up in the sky, and the water was ragged;

The clear current flows at the stern of the boat, and the sun shines on the waist of the peak.

The green doubt remains on the ancient shore, and the green is about to climb up the shirt;

The sound of flowing water frightens the geese, and the shade is thick with juniper trees.

…………

"Okay! I didn't expect that you are not only beautiful, but also full of talents. Then you will assist the three empresses in managing the palace from now on." Li Yunzhong added 'unintentionally': "Come and help me with the paperwork when you have time, alas! Recently!

They are so busy, and so are these subordinates. They come to ask for instructions on everything big and small, and they treat me like a robot...cough..." Seeing the expressions of the three ladies, Li Yunzhong felt embarrassed and didn't know why.
