Liu Mingzhi licked his face and showed his kindness to his father-in-law with a smile, while Qi Run looked at the son-in-law with contempt, you are a smart little bastard and know what I mean, otherwise your in-laws would really skin you alive.
To say that Qi Run was able to reach the position of governor of a state from having no foundation, apart from his way of conducting himself, it also depends on his character. He clearly understood that sooner or later, the things he did as a bastard son-in-law would be spread to his in-laws Liu Zhi'an
In his ears, it is better to expose this matter by himself and teach his son-in-law Liu Mingzhi a lesson first, so that both his father and Liu Zhi'an will not teach his son a lesson again.
The fact is just as Qi Run thought. Although Liu Zhi'an did not complain about Liu Mingzhi's handing in the paper in advance, he did complain about the well-intentioned in-laws. Even his own daughter complained. It has to be said that Qi Run was lifting a stone.
Smash your own feet.
Qi Run, who was still supervising the imperial examination in the Gongyuan, could not imagine that his daughter was complaining around his wife now. If it were not for his daughter, otherwise Qi Run would not bother to ask about his son-in-law who does things without considering the consequences.
It can only be said that girls are outgoing, and the married daughter throws away the water. The husband, Mr. Liu, is moved to a complete mess, and the father, Liu Zhian, is made to feel extremely uncomfortable.
Brothers are jealous of each other, and they are bullied by outsiders. The questions in the policy essay test are a bit particular.
Liu Mingzhi thought about it for a long time with a pen in his mouth, but he had no idea. He didn't know whether this brother who was jealous of Yuqiang meant the emperor or Zhao Fengshou and the other examiners.
If these examiners had come up with a more in-depth question at random, it would be better to write more, and they would be able to figure out the emperor's meaning.
Needless to say, the foreign imperial humiliation definitely refers to the people of the steppe Turks and the people of the Jin Dynasty. The thing that is difficult to determine is that they are brothers.
The meaning of the title comes from "The Book of Songs Xiaoya Changdi" and is easy to understand. Quarrel among brothers is a normal thing, but at critical moments, we must unite as one to defend against external enemies.
Liu Mingzhi thought about it for a while, and realized that it was Qiu Wei's examination. It should not be the emperor's intention. It was just an examination prepared by various state capitals, and it would not be so involved. If Qiu Wei was the chief examiner of the Ministry of Personnel
The Imperial Examination may also involve the emperor's wishes, and now it is very likely that these examiners themselves have their own wishes.
After thinking about this, Liu Mingzhi no longer hesitated and began to polish his writing and solve the topic.
If you want to fight against the outside, you must first calm down the inside. If there are internal troubles, you must get rid of them first. If the tail is too big to fall off, there will definitely be changes.
After solving the problem, Liu Mingzhi began to use the example of Yan and Zhao in the Spring and Autumn Period. There were constant disputes among the seven kingdoms. However, whenever they went to the Northern Expedition against the Hu people, they took advantage of the road. All the people followed the principle of friendship. Those who conquered the Hu people were brothers.
also.
Then he listed several vivid examples, and finally ended with brothers working together to cut off the gold, expressing his views on brothers being jealous of each other and being bullied by foreign enemies. The whole article was written in about a thousand words.
Putting down the writing brush, blowing off the ink on the test paper, and checking that there were no incomprehensible sentences, Liu Mingzhi pressed the test paper with a paperweight and started waiting again.
As for what to wait for, of course it is the arrival of the examiner Zhao Fengshou. As for my father-in-law Qi Run, I might as well forget it because I don’t have the guts.
Sure enough, Zhao Fengshou looked as ugly as if he had eaten a meal, but he couldn't help but stop. Again, the examiner was not allowed to refuse any questions from the candidates, to prevent the examiner from taking personal revenge against a candidate who had a grudge.
Sorry, there really hasn't been a weirdo like Young Master Liu in the past hundred years.
Zhao Fengshou looked at Liu Mingzhi with an unkind expression: "Boy, you want me to offend your father-in-law to death."
"Hey, sir, you are joking. You also act according to the rules. The students heard you clearly when you read Qiu Wei's rules on the day you entered the door. You must not reject the candidates' requests without reason. Do you want to go against your promise or disobey the emperor's order?"
Zhao Fengshou pointed at Mr. Liu several times with his fingers: "You, you, you are such a bold master, are you so sure that you will be on the list?"
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and pointed to his head: "Thousands of years of experience exist here. Students also want to keep a low profile, but their strength does not allow it."
Zhao Fengshou nodded helplessly: "You're still out of breath even after I complimented you a few times. Are you sure you won't check again?"
Young Master Liu waved his hand confidently: "Seal the scroll."
Zhao Fengshou signaled the yamen servant to seal the scroll, and then looked at Young Master Liu angrily.
"Students understand, students understand, no noise is allowed, adults please come first."
The candidates at the back didn't know the situation, but the three hundred candidates before were shocked a lot by Mr. Liu, and they were already numbly trying to figure out their own test papers. It was this bold beast again.
Seeing the room where the examiners were resting, Young Master Liu automatically stopped and said, "Sir, I won't go in because it's inconvenient."
Zhao Fengshou looked at Liu Mingzhi teasingly: "What, why don't you say goodbye to your father-in-law before leaving?"
The other examiners passing by obviously recognized the master Liu Dashao. They all smiled and shook their heads and went to inspect. They had already guessed what was going to happen next. The fact that Liu Mingzhi was the son-in-law of the examiner Qi Run was widely publicized by all the examiners.
It was no longer a mystery in their hearts. After they experienced the initial surprise, it was hard to say anything. As the examiner, Qi Run was absolutely impartial and selfless. After three exams, he did not make any stop in front of the son-in-law's exam room.
, are treated the same as ordinary scholars.
However, many examiners have accelerated their inspections. They also want to see Qi Run, the governor of a state, furious. This is a rare sight in the boring Gongyuan.
"Farewell!" Young Master Liu left a trace of his back and automatically followed the two guards towards the gate of Gongyuan.
Sure enough, just as the examiners expected, Qi Run once again appeared at the examiner's resting place out of breath, jumping on his feet and cursing.
"Damn it, this little bastard is really lawless."
"Lord Qi, please calm down, a person like your son-in-law is really rare to see in a hundred years." Although the accomplice was admonishing, he could not hide the teasing look on his face.
Zhao Fengshou poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Master Qi, I really don't blame the official. You still don't know your son-in-law's character? The official should not be carrying the blame."
Qi Run sighed and smiled mysteriously: "If you don't let me be happy, you won't be happy either." After saying that, he left the room with his hands behind his back and continued to patrol.
"Damn it, it's the end of you two again, isn't it?"
The two guards patted their heads honestly: "Brother, don't mind, I'm just following my orders. I mean it." The two guards who escorted Liu Mingzhi out looked at the young master Liu who was lying on the ground in confusion, and beat the examinee.
This is a big sin.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the closed door and patted the dust on his clothes. He wanted to greet their mother, but thought it was unnecessary. After all, this was what his father-in-law wanted.
Young Master Liu, who had just remembered how kind his father-in-law was, expressed all the gratitude in his heart.
