Chapter 757 School Examination
A series of footsteps outside attracted the attention of everyone in the outer hall of Wanshou Palace. Soon, little Eunuch Zhang pulled Zhu Ping'an's sleeve and trotted into the outer hall.
Zhu Ping'an entered the Longevity Palace and only had time to bow to the adults in the outer hall. He didn't even have time to say hello before he was pulled by his sleeves by little Eunuch Zhang and walked into the inner hall.
When everyone in the outer hall saw Zhu Ping'an being summoned, their eyes changed.
Yan Maoqing looked at Zhu Pingan's figure walking into the inner hall, and tugged down the corner of his mouth, haha, you have done something wrong and you will not survive. Your Majesty believes in it, you praise the Buddha, you are finished today,.
After entering the inner hall, Zhu Ping'an immediately saw Emperor Jiajing sitting on a futon with his eyes closed and meditating, and Huang Jin standing beside him.
Huang Jin saw Zhu Pingan coming in and gave Zhu Pingan a kind smile.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Ping'an has arrived." After little Eunuch Zhang entered the inner hall, he whispered to Emperor Jiajing who was meditating.
As soon as the little eunuch finished speaking, Zhu Ping'an knelt down and knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times to pay his respects to Jiajing.
“I, the Cabinet Secretary Zhilang, the Imperial Academy’s Attendant, and the Taicang Inspector Zhu Ping’an, have paid homage to our Emperor, long live my Emperor.”
After Zhu Pingan knelt down, he lowered his head and lay on the ground. He paused for about two seconds before hearing Emperor Jiajing's voice above his head.
"Zhu Aiqing, please get back on your feet." Emperor Jiajing stood up and was helped by Huang Jin to sit on the dragon chair and said leisurely.
"My lord, thank you for your kindness." Zhu Pingan thanked him with a big salute and then stood up, acting very respectfully.
"My dear, do you know your guilt?"
Zhu Pingan just stood up, and Emperor Jiajing looked at Zhu Pingan with slightly squinted eyes, and asked lightly.
Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an knelt down again. His back suddenly felt cold and goosebumps rose. However, he soon calmed down again. He shook his head with an innocent face and said, "I don't know, I don't know."
As the saying goes, if you don’t do anything wrong, you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. You haven’t done anything illegal or illegal, so you have a clear conscience.
"I don't know?" Emperor Jiajing asked with a half-smile, and then asked in a deep voice, "I ordered you to inspect the Taicang bank, but why did you come to submit articles to me? Do you think I don't care about the priority Are you so anxious that you become a fool?"
Oh, it turns out it was because of this. Zhu Ping'an felt completely relaxed, and he raised his head and explained with aggrieved face: "I don't dare. Your Majesty is wise, powerful and diligent. Loving the people lasts forever How can an emperor be a foolish emperor? I am not absent from my post without permission. I have been checking the books and records in Taicang from Mao o'clock in the morning to You o'clock in the afternoon. I came to Xiyuan at You o'clock to ask for an audience. Contribute articles "
"Come to Xiyuan at Youshi... Doesn't that mean Aiqing just arrived?" Emperor Jiajing squinted his eyes and glanced at the scale engraved on the copper pot in the palace, and raised it slightly. Eyebrow, I have doubts about Zhu Pingan’s answer.
"Your Majesty is wise, I have indeed arrived just now." Zhu Pingan nodded solemnly.
"What kind of wisdom is this?" When Emperor Jiajing saw this, he couldn't help laughing and scolding Zhu Pingan.
Although Zhu Ping'an's flattery is stiff, being stiff has the advantage of being stiff. If you flatter him, you will be embarrassed, but the other person will look funny. This is another form of lively atmosphere.
"Haha, the Number One Scholar has just arrived, and he has written such an article "Kneel before the Buddha for Three Thousand Years"? I just heard Xiao Lizi, the director of Wuyi Palace, say that you only used less than one cup of tea. With his skill, Cao Zhi of the Three Kingdoms could only write a poem in seven steps. It is like listening to the legend of Zhiwei, which really makes the Zajia people unable to believe it." Huang Jin observed the words and said with a smile, there are some words that Emperor Jiajing is not comfortable to say, but they. no the same.
"Xiaoguan also felt it. It happened to be the meeting, so he wrote faster. He never dared to compare with Cao Zhi's talent." Zhu Pingan shook his head and explained very humbly. Admiral Huang Jin was in charge of Dongchang and was also in charge of the Rites Supervisor. His official position was much higher than that of Zhu Ping'an. There was nothing wrong with Zhu Ping'an calling himself a subordinate here.
"Cao Zhi also expressed his feelings. The champion doesn't have to be modest," Huang Jin said with a smile.
Uh, Zhu Pingan shook his head with a wry smile.
"Composition on warming tea? Haha, it's interesting. Then pour Zhu Aiqing a cup of tea and let me see how Aiqing warms tea and compose." Emperor Jiajing looked at Zhu Ping'an leisurely and said, "Master Tao is here Taihe Mountain was built as Yuanyue Mountain, but there is still a missing couplet at Huihuo Mountain Gate. "Lian, if you can warm the tea, I will pardon you. If you don't do it well, I think you will know the consequences of deceiving the emperor."
A young eunuch came to you soon. Zhu Pingan poured a cup of tea and placed it on the ground in front of Zhu Pingan.
"I thank the Lord for your kindness, and I will do my best." Zhu Ping'an thanked me, but was speechless in his heart. You guys said it was all about the warm tea composition and so on. I didn't set this flag.
However, Zhu Ping'an is not worried at all about writing couplets. After studying in ancient times for so long, writing couplets is not difficult for him. Moreover, he used to travel on a budget in modern times and was influenced by fairy tale novels, so he also went there. I visited some Taoist temples for free and memorized many Taoist couplets, which was enough to cope with this crisis.
It is better to use ready-made ones. The couplets on modern Taoist temples must be carefully selected and selected only if they are particularly outstanding.
The couplets I wrote during such a cup of tea are definitely not as good as the carefully selected couplets at Taoist temples.
Which one is better to use?
Zhu Ping'an closed his eyes and began to think. Taoist temples appeared in his mind, and couplets appeared in his mind like a horse.
Emperor Jiajing did not rush him, but looked at Zhu Ping'an with interest with a smile on his face.
Huang Jin seems to be very confident in Zhu Pingan, and the eyes he looks at Zhu Pingan are full of confidence.
Yeah
Yes, after thinking for more than ten seconds, Zhu Pingan thought of the couplet he saw in a Sanqinggong Taoist temple in Hebei.
After thinking about it, Zhu Pingan was not in a hurry to express himself. Instead, he continued to close his eyes and meditate, pretending to be thinking hard.
Appropriate hiding is necessary, especially now. If I write so fast, where will the ministers in the outer palace turn their faces? In addition, Emperor Jiajing was conceited and very sensitive, so it was not appropriate for him to perform better than his emperor. ,
In this way, in Zhu Pingan's meditation, time passed minute by minute.
"Haha, No. 1 Scholar, the tea will be cold if you don't write it down." After a moment, Huang Jinwei urged with a smile.
"Wait a moment or two. Oh, yes." Zhu Ping'an looked anxious. After about three to five seconds, he looked inspired again, picked up the brush on the side, and dipped it in The ink began to write on the rice paper:
Tai Chi judged that the universe was formed, with Qian as the father and Kun as the mother. He had great magical powers and could save the common people in the four continents with one Qi and three pure spirits;
The two rituals are divided into yin and yang, yang belongs to heaven, and yin belongs to earth, showing boundless magic power, leaving the dragon and the tiger, and cultivating the golden immortal of ten thousand tribulations.
Zhu Pingan wrote one sentence and Huang Jin repeated one sentence.
"Although the time is a little overdue, herbal tea is still tea, so-so, so you can pass this time." After hearing this, Emperor Jiajing commented like this, but he was very satisfied in his heart.
The words behind these two couplets, "Save all the common people in the Four Continents" and "Cultivation into the Golden Immortal of Ten Thousand Tribulations", simply spoke to Emperor Jiajing's heart, and made Emperor Jiajing very satisfied. His purpose in building Yuan Yue was Saving all the common people in the four continents and cultivating the Golden Immortal of Ten Thousand Tribulations was the pursuit of Emperor Jiajing.
