Chapter 86 Did I say anything just now?

Cheng Chumo was still stunned, showing no signs of reaction.

"Old Cheng, take the lantern and leave!" Zhao Chen patted Cheng Chumo lightly and said with a smile.

"Ah? Did you win?" Cheng Chumo came back to his senses and asked.

"Of course I win, let's go, Xiao Qin, Miss Ruoshuang, let's put out the lanterns." Zhao Chen said and walked outside the lantern riddle house.

"Master Zhao, stay!" The old man came to his senses and chased after him with excitement on his face.

"Mr. Zhao, please leave your address. Tomorrow I will ask my nephew to visit me in person!" The old man quickly ran to Zhao Chen and said with a sincere expression.

"Visit in person?"

"Is he kidding? He is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, a high-ranking official of the third rank. Is it appropriate to ask him to visit this young man in person?"

"The old man did not stop the young man from taking the lantern worth a hundred gold. In other words, this young man guessed all ten lantern riddles correctly!"

"Oh my God, after eight years, someone actually guessed all the lantern riddles today!"

"He is still a weakling who is not even a teenager yet. This boy is so terrifying!"

"But even so, it's not good for the Minister of Industry to visit in person!"

Only then did the people behind him realize that the last riddle had been guessed by Zhao Chen.

This old man even asked the Minister of Industry to visit the young man in person!

This is too unimaginable.

Li Ruoshuang looked at Zhao Chen's back, her eyes filled with light.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu grinned from ear to ear. They held lanterns and looked arrogant!

"Sir, I really have no intention of pursuing an official career, so..."

"It doesn't matter, it's a blessing for me to be friends with Mr. Zhao!" The old man said to Zhao Chen with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation.

…

"Miss Ruoshuang, it's not too early now, you

Go back early, this lantern is given to you! "

When we came out of the lantern riddle house, it was getting very late.

Tourists on the street also began to go home one after another. Zhao Chen stopped and looked back at Li Ruoshuang.

"Here, Sister Ruoshuang!" Cheng Chumo reluctantly handed the lantern to Li Ruoshuang.

He was still thinking about whether he would take the lantern for a parade tomorrow or something.

Although I didn’t win it myself, I also participated in it.

If he hadn't brought Zhao Chen here, he wouldn't have been able to win the lantern, right?

Cheng Chumo felt shamelessly that this lantern also had its share of credit.

However, Zhao Chen said he would give it to Li Ruoshuang, would he dare not to give it to him?

"Really give it to me?" Li Ruoshuang looked at the lantern in front of her and felt happy in her heart.

This lantern is exquisitely made, much better than the ones sold on the street!

But just accepting it like this made Li Ruoshuang feel a little bit regretful.

"I told you to give it to you before. Besides, it's always a little strange for us grown men to carry a lantern!"

"This lantern is beautiful and perfectly matches you!" Zhao Chen said casually.

"Are you praising me for my good looks?" Li Ruoshuang looked at Zhao Chen with bright eyes and asked.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu looked at each other, with a glimmer of light that both you and I understand flashing in their eyes.

"Miss Ruoshuang is extremely beautiful, so she doesn't need anyone to praise her!" Zhao Chen handed the lantern into Li Ruoshuang's hands and said with a smile.

"In that case, I will accept this lantern. Zhao Chen, I will remember what you said today."

"It's getting late, so I'll go back first."

"You two, take Zhao Chen home for me. If anything goes wrong, I will hang you two at the city gate and whip you!"

"Zhao Chen, I'm leaving!" Li Ruoshuang walked home with a lantern in hand and a smile on her face.

The three of them, Zhao Chen, were left staring ahead in stunned silence.

"Brother, did we commit evil in our last life? We will never be able to survive this day in the future!" Cheng Chumo put his arm on Zhao Chen's shoulder and cried.

"From now on, wherever we go to you, this female devil will give us a good deal. Thinking about it, I feel panicked!" Qin Huaiyu also had a bitter look on his face.

The three of them slowly walked back and forth. Zhao Chen stopped, glanced at the two of them, and asked, "Miss Ruoshuang said just now that he remembered what I said, did I say anything just now?"

…

"Your Majesty, the night is getting dark, it's time to rest!" In the Li Zheng Hall, Li Shimin was sitting on a soft couch, holding in his hand the poems he had received from Wang Ji.

"Guanyin Maid, that boy Zhao Chen is really a genius. Look at this poem, no wonder even Wang Ji is willing to be inferior."

"It's Yu Jing who can transform the human world. That's really good!"

"Everything in this world is changing, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Only the bright moon in the sky remains unchanged forever!"

"I am really surprised that Zhao Chen can have such a state of mind at such a young age!"

"I can rest assured that the Tang Dynasty will be handed over to him in the future!" Li Shimin said slowly.

I read the poem on the paper carefully again.

"That kid Zhao Chen is so smart and quick thinking, he must be like Cao Zijian!" Empress Changsun said with a smile.

They saw with their own eyes that Zhao Chen wrote this poem in just a moment.

Cao Zijian wrote a poem in seven steps, and Zhao Chen wrote a poem that put Wang Ji to shame in just a blink of an eye.

r\u003e

Such a brilliant idea made Queen Changsun extremely happy.

"Zhao Chen once told me that there were shortcomings in the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty. Today I just take this opportunity to eliminate the hidden dangers of the imperial examination!"

"In the past nine years, almost all talented people have been recruited by those aristocratic families."

"If this continues, this court will no longer be my court!" Li Shimin and Empress Changsun said.

"Your Majesty has ever discussed this matter with Zhao Chen?" Queen Changsun was a little surprised.

She thought that His Majesty the Emperor was just angry with Li Chengqian, and that reprimanding Wang Ji and rectifying the imperial examination were just a warning.

Unexpectedly, he had already discussed this matter with Zhao Chen.

"After we talked, that boy Zhao Chen said that I was speechless. If I hadn't been unable to find a suitable opportunity, the reform of the imperial examination system would have been implemented long ago."

"Unexpectedly, that boy Zhao Chen helped me with a random poem!"

"Wang Ji! The Wang family of Taiyuan! You want to take sides so quickly. In that case, I will break up with them first!" Li Shimin said slowly.

"This is also your Majesty's credit. If not for His Majesty's instructions, Zhao Chen would not be able to come to the banquet, but his influence is also beginning to appear."

"As soon as today's banquet is over, many people will probably guess the person behind this poem!" Empress Changsun said softly.

"No matter how hard they try, they can't imagine that this poem was actually written by Zhao Chen, let alone that everything I have told them and seen these days was written by Zhao Chen!"

"Guanyin Maid, tell me, if these people knew that all this was caused by that boy Zhao Chen, what kind of expression would they have?" Li Shimin had a strange look on his face.

"I also want to see that day!" Empress Changsun said with a smile, but she sighed imperceptibly.
