Soon, the Confucian professor of imperial capital came to the palace.

He was not qualified to enter the palace to meet the saint, nor had he ever seen the emperor.

Today, the little eunuch came to ask him to enter the palace, which scared the old man who was almost seventy. He immediately burned incense and bathed at home, dressed in a decent manner, and then he entered the palace.

When he arrived at the imperial study, the emperor was reviewing the memorials. After the Confucian professor Mr. Bai came, he asked the eunuch Xuan to come in.

The old man came in and knelt down and said, "Old minister, pay homage to Your Majesty..."

"Flat!"

The emperor spoke lightly, reviewing the memorials, and said, "Are you a professor of Confucianism in the Imperial Capital?"

"Your Majesty, it's..." This Confucian professor, the teacher of countless students, trained many scholars and juren, and was respected by many people. At this moment, Mr. Bai was as if a student had met him, and his hands were trembling a little.

The emperor asked: "Do you know Chen... Chen Xiao?"

Mr. Bai was stunned and didn't realize why the emperor asked this.

Although he couldn't figure out why the emperor would meet him as a ninth-rank civil servant, he was even more confused at this moment and answered:

"Back to your Majesty, I know you, you are a very good young man!"

What was still writing in the emperor's writing, and asked: "I heard that his poetry is good!"

"Back to your Majesty, indeed!"

The emperor said: "What works are there?"

Mr. Bai said: "When you go back to your Majesty, this time you came to the imperial capital, and you also said on the way: The lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun!"

"Well, it's not bad, is it still?" asked the emperor.

Mr. Bai said: "There is also: the bright moonlight in front of the bed, which is suspected to be frost on the ground. I look up at the bright moon and think of my hometown!

And: When the day is hoeing, sweat drips into the soil. Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard to do!”

"It's not bad, it's not bad." The emperor nodded repeatedly.

Mr. Bai was also very happy and said, "My granddaughter invited him to the literati meeting. He drank some wine and wrote a poem that I thought was very good, saying:

When drinking and singing, how much life is, it is like morning dew, and the past is full of suffering..."

The emperor paused his hand and then raised his head and said, "Is this poem written by him?"

"Reply to Your Majesty, it's absolutely true!" Mr. Bai nodded.

The emperor took a deep breath: "Good poem, but... this poem is a bit heroic when read, but it seems a little sad when you appreciate it. At a young age, you actually did such a thing, which is not very true..."

"Your Majesty, Chen Xiao is seriously ill a few years ago and has never had a normal life. Therefore, it is normal to have such an sigh!" Mr. Bai explained.

"Oh? It's normal that this is true. Is there any poetry?" the emperor asked.

Mr. Bai didn't expect the emperor to be so interested in Chen Xiao, and he continued to say:

"There is, but... this poem is not very nice... It was written by Chen Xiao's father when he was dismissed from office and was humiliated by his ex-fiancee who broke the engagement."

The emperor said, "Oh? There are also bad poems? I'm curious, let's listen."

"This..." Mr. Bai was a little embarrassed.

The emperor said: "Say!"

Mr. Bai had no choice but to speak: "The poem says: The dragon swims in shallow water and is played by shrimps, and the tiger falls in the flat sun and is bullied by dogs. The cat is male than the tiger, and the phoenix falls in hair and is not as good as a chicken..."

The emperor was stunned, and the old eunuch beside him was also stunned.

The poem in the previous one is either elegant or heroic. Why did it suddenly seem like a shrew cursing in the street when it comes to this poem?

The key is that the scolding is quite knowledgeable.

The emperor put down the pen and couldn't help laughing: "This is really...haha, it's really interesting...hahaha..."

The old eunuch was surprised, but for a long time, he didn't see the majesty of the tiger laughing, and he couldn't help laughing like this.

After laughing for a while, the emperor took the pen and wrote down the poems just now.

I also read the poems "Wine is a song" and "The Phoenix Is Not As A Chicken as a Rooster" carefully, which expresses my heart with two completely different states of mind.

The song "Wine" as a song makes Chen Xiao look deep.

The phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken on the ground, and Chen Xiao looks extremely polite and is not someone who is willing to compromise himself.

"Interesting person, interesting. Okay, professor of Confucianism, you can go down. The third person should not be revealed today!" The emperor spoke, without anger.

The Confucian professor hurriedly said that he understood, and then he came with a confused look on his face and left with a confused look on his face.

The old eunuch stood beside the emperor and looked at the emperor.

The emperor pushed away all the memorials and put a few poems in front of him, and watched them with a smile for a long time.

Seeing this, the old eunuch understood that if Chen Xiao performed better, he would not have fallen into the ground, but would have turned into a dragon when he encountered the storm!

...

Here, when the emperor was interested in this man he was attracted to by his favorite daughter.

On the other hand, Chen Xiao, led by the fat man, also had fun with Long Jiuling.

This time, the fat man was kind enough to be a tour guide, but he wanted to have a meal.

But he never thought that Chen Xiao didn't spend a penny and cheated the fat man everywhere, causing him to spend a lot of money.

As it got late, Chen Xiao and the other two went back to the restaurant for supper.

At the dinner table, the fat man kept worrying about how much money he spent today, and he looked like a slave.

After the meal, Chen Xiao and Long Jiuling went upstairs directly. The fat man was one step slower and had to pay...

...

The next day, early in the morning, Chen Xiao and the fat man discussed to go to the tribute court together to learn about some of the things about the autumn examination.

However, when he arrived at the Gongyuan, he was informed by a Confucian scholarship from an imperial capital of the Gongyuan that Chen Xiao's name was removed.

In other words, he lost his qualification for the imperial examination this time!

Chen Xiao was stunned. He just came to register for the exam with the recommendation of a professor of Confucianism yesterday. Why did he have no name when he came today?

The Confucian teaching is equivalent to the assistant of Confucian professors. There are four Confucian teachings in the Zhili Prefecture.

Although he was an unparalleled official, he was highly respected because he was engaged in cultural undertakings. Therefore, this Confucian instructor could not deceive Chen Xiao.

Seeing that Chen Xiao was silent, the Confucian teaching guide said:

"Young man, you have offended others. The master in the government office will call you out of your name. Don't think that you can go to heaven by following the Confucian professor Mr. Bai."

Chen Xiao probably understood when he heard this. At that time, the Luo family didn't know what methods to make the imperial capital judge and Chen Wenshan an enemy, but they didn't know what methods to use to remove Chen Wenshan from office.

Now, it is not difficult to just remove a candidate like him.

Taking a deep breath, he was neither angry nor angry. He looked at the Confucian teaching guide and said respectfully:

"Please tell the adults to make it clear, I don't know who the students have offended?"

The decree said, "This..."

While hesitating, the fat man who had been silent on the side suddenly stretched out his hand and cleverly stuffed a few taels of silver into the sleeves of the Confucian teaching guide.

The Confucian scholar's teaching smiled: "You should offend the magistrate Tongshu?"

Chen Xiao smiled: "Thank you!"

Then he turned around, pulled Long Jiuling and left.

Behind him, the fat man caught up and said, "Brother Chen, where are you going?"
