Chapter 272: Possibly set up by the emperor
"Why did he agree?"
"I asked my brother yesterday, and even he found the questions asked by Zhao Chen to be very difficult."
"How could Zhao Chen agree?"
When Queen Changsun heard that Zhao Chen really wanted to answer his own test questions, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
Before she went to Zhao Chen yesterday, she specifically asked Changsun Wuji about the questions for the autumn exam.
Even people like Changsun Wuji felt that the test questions asked by Zhao Chen were very difficult.
His eldest son, Sun Wuji, was not completely sure.
It's not that Empress Changsun doesn't believe in Zhao Chen's ability, but if there is even the slightest mistake in Zhao Chen's answer, he will definitely be targeted by those officials from the aristocratic family.
At that time, wouldn't they say that Zhao Chen didn't answer it at all.
Then he will make things difficult for Zhao Chen.
"Your Majesty, the officials of the aristocratic family are here well prepared. Even if the Marquis of Zhao County does not agree to solve the problem today, they will not give up."
"And I also think that Marquis Zhao will definitely win." The young palace maid and the eldest grandson empress comforted each other in a low voice.
"Oh?" Queen Changsun was a little surprised and looked at the little palace maid.
"I don't know, but I just feel that Hou Fan of Zhao County is calm and confident, just like you, the Queen." The little palace maid said with a smile.
The words of the little palace maid were very helpful to Queen Changsun.
Her son should naturally be similar to her.
"You are right. You and I will go to the Tai Chi Palace. I want to see the scene where Zhao Chen's kid is verbally quarreling with the ministers." Empress Changsun stood up and walked out of the palace.
…
"Old guy, Zhao Chen is going to answer his own test questions today, why don't you just keep an eye on him."
"If someone gives him a hard time, I can help him no matter what."
In the Duke Wei's Mansion, Hongfunu walked to Li Jing's study and saw that he was still reading in the study with no sign of movement, so she couldn't help but speak.
r\u003e Li Jing raised his head, looked at Hong Fu Nu with some surprise, and said with a smile, "Madam, don't you dislike Zhao Chen? Why are you worried about his life and death again now?"
"Who told you that I don't like him? I just don't like that he took my precious daughter to danger!"
"I still like that boy Zhao Chen. The entire city of Chang'an, no, I should say the entire Tang Dynasty, can't find a second Zhao Chen."
"You have never been talkative in your life. If I don't scare Zhao Chen, what will you do if he bullies our girl in the future?" Hongfu Nu frowned and sat down on the stool in front of Li Jing.
Hongfu Nu didn't like Zhao Chen very much at first.
But a series of things happened later, and she slowly got to know Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen's ability was something she had never seen before.
He was also good to Li Ruoshuang, and his daughter relied on Zhao Chen again.
No matter how capable she is, Hongfu Nu can't defeat this matter.
Zhao Chen is already a county prince at such a young age.
The emperor and the empress treated him like their own son. Such conditions were indeed difficult to find even with a lantern.
"Yes, everything you said is right." Li Jing chuckled and said to Hongfu Nu.
"You old guy, I asked you to help me, why are you still sitting here without moving?" Hongfu Girl frowned.
He has been talking about his feelings here for a long time, does Li Jingquan think that he is talking nonsense?
"Can't you trust Zhao Chen's own abilities?" Li Jing shook his head, put down the book in his hand, and said with a smile.
"Aren't I worried? Besides, I heard that the autumn exam questions this time are extremely difficult and not a single scholar got a first grade."
"The best one is just a B-level superior. This Zhao Chen is so young. How could he..."
"If something happens to him, the family
What to do with that crazy girl? "Red Fu Girl said.
She also found out that the autumn exam questions this time were extremely difficult.
There are so many scholars, not even a first-class scholar.
The best thing is to be a top grader.
Can a young man like Zhao Chen answer such a difficult test question?
Even if it is said that he came up with this test question himself.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to Zhao Chen. There are people protecting him. In fact, let me tell you, we may have been set up by the emperor from the beginning!" Li Jing and Hongfu Nu said with mysterious faces.
"What?" Hongfu Nu didn't understand what Li Jing said at all.
"I said, the relationship between Zhao Chen and the emperor is not just as simple as what we see. No matter what happens, the emperor will save Zhao Chen's life."
"Okay, go and see the girl, let her choose the fabric she likes, and arrange to make some good-looking clothes for her tomorrow!" Li Jing waved his hand, indicating that Hongfu Nu could leave.
"Crazy!" Hong Fu Nu muttered and walked away angrily.
Li Jing paused, shook his head and smiled.
…
"If there is a conquest but not a war, the Tao has the opportunity to control; kill evil and live well, which is the principle of Hanting's education."
"The fortress is in the evening, and the soldiers are cooking in the morning. They have restored the source of the city and the river. The north gate has not been opened. By the Qiaosu Sea, the eastern suburbs have not been opened. The party proposed to drive the long hub to ascend the Long, build a high flag and point to the fortress. There was a sound from the sky. Vibration, hanging on each other and burning together."
"My husband is leaning against the sun in the spring snow, and the cold fur is easy to roll. Now I want to send out instructions, temporarily suspend the military punishment, write arrows to send to the officials, blow the bamboo slipper and return the captives to ride. I am planning a plan, what should I do?"
"This is the first question on the exam, right?"
Zhao Chen memorized the original questions word for word and scanned the people present.
Many officials themselves did not know that the first question was a combination of military and diplomacy.
Many people were in a daze at that time.
In the past, even if the test questions were difficult, they were taken separately.
I never thought that the question asked by Zhao Chen would be like this.
Difficult, very difficult.
But vaguely, many officials were looking forward to Zhao Chen's answer.
If Zhao Chen's answer is acceptable, can't it be used directly?
"Yes, this is the first exam question. I would like to ask Deputy Chief Zhao and the scholars to answer it!" the official of the family said, with a hint of joking flashing across his face.
One can imagine the difficulty of this question.
Zhao Chen was so reckless that if he wanted to answer the question in front of them, he was really asking for his own death.
Later, if they find any loophole, they can easily silence Zhao Chen.
Li Shimin and others stopped talking for fear of disturbing Zhao Chen.
Apart from worry, there is also some expectation.
“People are bound to die in war, and killing people is never a good thing.
He who subdues the enemy's troops without fighting is a good person.
In recent years, the border has been troubled, with constant conquests by the imperial court.
It would be best if we could achieve a ceasefire through diplomatic efforts.
What suggestions do you have for this? "
"This is the basic meaning of this exam question."
"The exam questions test the combination of military and diplomacy. They test the scholars' understanding and speculation of the current military strength and diplomatic methods of the Tang Dynasty."
"A scholar like Zhang Ju who only complains that the test questions are too difficult should never expect to be able to answer them in this life!"
"The imperial examination is not suitable for you!" Zhao Chen looked at Zhang Ju and smiled.
Zhang Ju's eyes were full of anger, but he didn't dare to speak rashly.
He was frightened by Cheng Chumo's slap just now.
"Deputy Examiner Zhao, Zhang Ju is not good at studying. He can't answer the questions well and has nothing to say. I would like to ask Deputy Examiner Zhao to give me some advice." An official said to Zhao Chen.
