Chapter Eighteen
Ma Dezhi looked at the test paper in his hand and felt dizzy.
The numbers below are arranged according to some rules, please select the correct answer
One, four, nine, sixteen, twenty-five ()
A: Fifty-one B: Thirty-six C: Forty-four D: Thirty-nine
Drunk and vomited words, Wang Wu did not drink ()
A: Wang Wu tells lies B: Wang Wu tells the truth C: Wang Wu never tells the truth D: Wang Wu may tell the truth or lies.
Ma Dezhi thought that these were all things. He glanced around and saw that the people next to him were all frowning and felt proud. It seemed that he was still a little talented and quickly filled in the answer. Look at the questions below, all of them were strange questions, but they couldn't help him. He finished the exam in half an hour.
Ma Dezhi finished the test paper early, and for the remaining half hour, he was doing nothing. Yang Lian above saw him looking around below and signaled the invigilator beside him to step forward. The invigilator stepped forward and mentioned Ma Dezhi and said, "Have you listened carefully to Lord Yang's examination rules? You can't look around. Now you have violated the rules of the examination room and handed over the paper." After that, as soon as Ma Dezhi's examination paper was collected, people pushed Ma Dezhi out.
Ma Dezhi inexplicably opened the examination room as a cheat. When he arrived outside the examination room, he was angry and shouted loudly outside the door: "I did nothing, how can I push me out!"
At this time, another invigilator came out and said, "You can leave quickly and get things done. You have to make a fuss outside the examination room."
When Ma Dezhi heard that he was going to be beaten, he didn't dare to scream again, so he left and thought, fortunately he had finished.
Besides, Yang Lian asked someone to take Ma Dezhi's paper. When he saw that he had finished it, he was shocked. He knew the difficulty of the test questions. The emperor gave him a special copy, but he didn't expect that it took him two hours to finish it. Later, the emperor asked someone to judge the paper, and he only did two-thirds of it right. But then he thought that this guy probably made up the answer, so it was so fast.
In the Wenhua Hall of the Palace, Zhu Youxiao, Sun Chengzong and Yang Lian were correcting the test papers. Since Zhu Youxiao had a lot of bragging, there are now magical legends about Zhu Youxiao everywhere outside the palace. Of course, it is a very surprising thing that Zhu Youxiao has never read books but knows words. There are many versions outside the palace. Some people think that the emperor is a fake emperor, pretended by the person Zheng Guifei and Xi Li from outside the palace. Anyway, people have said everything, and Zhu Youxiao doesn't care about it. No one dares to ask anyway, but he doesn't say it himself, but the many eunuchs around him have long passed on these things in a mess.
Especially when Zhu Youxiao woke up from his dream, the eunuch who served Zhu Youxiao on the night he was jokingly, saying that he saw that night that a beam of light covered Zhu Youxiao's bedroom. When he saw this scene, he entered the house and saw that Zhu Youxiao's body was covered with colorful auspicious clouds.
Of course, Zhu Youxiao has now enjoyed the benefits of this lie. Everyone sees that they are no longer as fearful as before. Now they are even more admiring. No one has any doubts about Zhu Youxiao's unusual things anymore. The things of immortals are always so strange. If they weren't immortals?
Among the three, Sun Chengzong of course corrected the Four Books and Five Classics, Yang Lian corrected the Law of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youxiao corrected the administrative ability. The exam was very simple, both A, B, C, and D. Zhu Youxiao changed it for a moment and said, "My dear friends, I'd better let the Wei Dynasty approve the papers. There's nothing good to look at." After that, he asked the Wei Dynasty to start comparing the papers, and Zhu Youxiao watched from the side.
When Zhu Youxiao saw that they were all terrible. Occasionally, a few were pretty good. More than 200 pictures were almost finished, but not many were more than half. On the contrary, Sun Chengzong and Yang Lian were basically all right. Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the ancients could really study hard. Although he asked Sun Chengzong to give some simple things, more than 200 people were basically right. This was such a spectacular thing.
At this time, Wei Chao said, "Your Majesty, the last test is basically correct, and there are two wrong ones."
Yang Lian knew when he heard this that cheating, because he was the first one, so he was at the bottom. He said, "Eunuch Wei, is it a man named Ma Dezhi? When he was halfway through the exam, he looked around and violated the rules of the examination room set by the emperor, and was sent out of the examination room. Unexpectedly, he was so powerful."
After listening to it, Wei Chao looked at the test paper and said, "It was this Ma Dezhi."
When Zhu Youxiao heard that there was such a powerful person, he said, "This is not bad. I want to see. I will go to the Anti-corruption Bureau in a few days and want to meet him."
Seeing this, Yang Lian said, "In this exam, all the first two subjects were basically full marks, but the last one was very different. The emperor took the administrative ability test this exam. However, I really couldn't think of any benefit to this. I would like to ask the emperor to introduce it to me today."
Zhu Youxiao thought that this was something in the future, so naturally there was his wonder. Today, I took this opportunity to fool you, so I said, "I didn't know about this administrative ability exam, but in the Heavenly Court... Oh, no, I just suddenly remembered this one day. I think that officials should have some basic requirements, such as verbal understanding, and processing documents, and judgment and reasoning are also very important. So I chose this to identify those who cannot meet the requirements. What do you think?" Zhu Youxiao was foolish here and deliberately said the word "Heavenly", which was to make everyone feel that they had been to the Heavenly Court.
Everyone was indeed caught in the trap. Yang Lian immediately said, "Your Majesty, I heard rumors about the emperor outside the palace, I wonder if I should tell you?"
Zhu Youxiao said: "After you say that, I will open up the road to speech and will not be punished for speech."
Yang Lian didn't care whether what he said was reasonable or not, and said, "I heard someone rumor outside that the emperor had lived in the Heavenly Court for one month."
Zhu Youxiao thought to himself that the cowhide he was bragging wildly had been passed on so quickly. Today is an opportunity. He must make up the lie well, so he said, "As my dear said, I did say this." Then he looked at Sun Chengzong meaningfully, and then said, "I just said it today. I didn't believe in the sayings of ghosts and gods, but since the night before the collapse of the late emperor, I have had a strange dream. It was this dream that changed me."
Zhu Youxiao paused here, and then said, "All my dear friends, everyone is familiar with the allusion of Zhuang Zhou's dream of butterflies."
For any official in the Ming Dynasty, it is a basic condition to read well in poetry and books. Zhuang Zhou's dream of butterfly comes from Zhuangzi, so everyone naturally picks it up at will, and everyone nods.
"In the past, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of being a Hu butterfly, and he was a lifelike butterfly. He was a self-speaking of his ambition! He didn't know Zhou. He suddenly realized that he was a Zhou. He didn't know that Zhou dreamed of being a Hu butterfly and? Hu butterfly dreamed of being a Zhou? Zhou and Hu butterfly would have a distinction. This is called material transformation." Zhu Youxiao said softly.
Then he said, "That day I told Sun Aiqing that I lived in the Heavenly Court for a month, and that's why. I lived in my dream for several months, but woke up and found that it was only two hours."
At this time, Sun Chengzong immediately asked, "I dare to ask the emperor, the generator made by the emperor that day is the dream thing."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Many affairs in the dream are more progressive than the Ming Dynasty. Although the people are no different from our Ming Dynasty on the surface, they all have magical powers like gods. The generator is the thing in the dream. In that dream, it is very wonderful to light the lamp without oil. Therefore, since I woke up from the dream, I have been trying hard to revive the Ming Dynasty. Today, my dear friends will definitely assist me in achieving great achievements for the ages."
Now the two finally understood the truth of the matter. At this time, Sun Chengzong said: "The emperor had this strange adventure in his dream, which is a blessing from heaven, and a detailed sign. Since there has been rumors among the people, I feel that the emperor should report this matter to the world to calm the hearts of the people."
Zhu Youxiao thought this was a good idea and said, "What Sun Aiqing said is very true, but there is no need to explain the details in detail. It is better to write this order by Sun Aiqing. The general idea is that since I ascended the throne, the Emperor of Heaven has warned me in my dream."
Although everyone felt that this matter was a bit strange, the emperor said this reasonably and quoted Zhuangzi's famous quotes, thinking how could Zhu Youxiao have such a literary talent in the past? It seems that what the emperor said this time is true. If it weren't for this answer, then how to explain the emperor's abnormality, it seems that this time it really means to heaven.
As an imperial teacher, Sun Chengzong had no words to say about his literary talent, so it would be no problem to write this imperial edict. He used it as a pen and ink, thought for a moment, and then started writing it out.
"Since I ascended the throne, I have worked diligently and worked hard for the country. However, I have a great tomorrow and the heavens cannot bear it, so I have to dream of it..."
Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied when he saw that he finally solved his identity problem and immediately said: "What I said to you today is, please keep it a secret."
Seeing that the emperor had such secret matters, Sun Chengzong and Yang Lian told him that they had obviously trusted themselves very much, so they said, "I should keep the secret for the emperor, but this matter is not a bad thing. What the emperor learned in his dreams can also be used to govern the country."
Yang Lian said again: "I dare to ask the emperor, the anti-corruption bureau and the administrative ability examination mentioned a few days ago are probably all dreams."
Zhu Youxiao said: "How can I think of this thing alone? I have learned from the things in my dreams. However, there are many differences in the dream from my Ming Dynasty, so Yang Aiqing still has to be serious."
