Chapter 98
"This Qin Mu is definitely the number one talent in the world. I don't know if these Donglin Party members have their brains broken by donkeys. They actually want to compete with Qin Mu's literary talent. Don't you know that he has written the peerless words "Changmen Fu" and "A Laugh in the Sea"?"
"Yes, this time the Donglin Party is really embarrassed to be at the door of the house, haha."
"I don't know, how could this young Qin Mu be so talented?"
"What is a genius? You know? A genius is born with great power."
"Too."
...
Compared to the eyes that others admired, Qin Mu himself knew that he could meet this "ruthless countermeasure" entirely based on memories of his previous life.
Ye Xianggao's first couplet is Zhang Zhidong, the minister of the late Qing Dynasty who was born in Qin Mu, who was in the last life of the Qing Dynasty. One day, he feasted guests at Taoranting, the table was filled with a couplet. One guest used a poem to express the first couplet: "There is a thousand times of trees that can't be used to hang out."
At that time, Zhang Zhidong replied: "It's true that there is nothing to do with it."
Because it is a historical story and Qin Mu also likes couplets, he knows this rare "ruthless right".
"Qin Aiqing is really a talented person."
Emperor Tianqi said happily, "Everyone has started calling Qin Mu's beloved, you must know that Qin Mu is not even a Tong Sheng."
"Thank you for your praise," Qin Mu thanked.
"Your Majesty, it's time to give Qin Mu an official title!"
Wei Zhongxian reminded Emperor Tianqi that Qin Mu had defeated the morale of the Donglin Party for himself, but he had made great contributions. Wei Zhongxian is now anxious to ask the emperor to give Qin Mu an official position.
"I felt itchy when I saw Qin Aiqing competing with so many ministers just now. This time I also want to test you by myself, how about it?" Emperor Tianqi said to Qin Mu.
"Please give me a title!"
Qin Mu said helplessly, he is the emperor and wants to give him questions. Do you dare to say that he can't? This time it seems that it's really deadly.
Compared with these Donglin Party members, Qin Mu was even more afraid that the emperor would give a question. Qin Mu knew through Xie Jin, the former cabinet master, that the Emperor of Heaven had no major culture at all. It is really hard to say that the question he gave was a strange one.
However, at this time, Qin Mu had to leave it to fate.
"I'll give you a guess at the riddle of my debut, well, there is one more word in the wood, a little less word in the right word, no one sees it, and two points are all worth it." Emperor Tianqi said after thinking for a while.
"This~~"
Qin Mu was stunned now. How could he guess this? I haven't heard of this riddle before. What kind of riddle is this? Why is there no structure at all?
What's the problem?
Qin Mu began to become nervous. If he couldn't answer this, would he be beheaded? You should know that the emperors in the feudal era were moody and accompanied by the king was like a tiger, and his life was in danger at any time.
"You said that?"
Wei Zhongxian said anxiously, Wei Zhongxian has high hopes for this Qin Mu.
After being disturbed by Wei Zhongxian, Qin Mu was so scared that he took a step forward. He was so scared that he looked at Emperor Tianqi in a daze, not knowing how to answer.
"Okay, my dear answered correctly." Emperor Tianqi said happily.
"ah……"
Qin Mu was stunned. He didn't say anything. How could he answer correctly? This is really a hell.
Not to mention Qin Mu, even the civil and military officials and Wei Zhongxian in the court were stunned and answered correctly. However, Qin Mu didn't say anything, so why did he answer correctly?
"The emperor is very knowledgeable and ancient, and he is a saint. Even the old ministers cannot guess the answer to this riddle. Please tell me." Yang Lian stood up and said, Yang Lian didn't understand at all now. Why did Qin Mu answer correctly? This kid didn't say a word.
"Please give me a message!" all the ministers said one after another.
"Okay, let me tell you, the word "正" is one more stroke, the word "正" is the word "正" is less, the word "正" is the word "正" is not visible at all, the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正" is combined, the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正" is the word "正". Emperor
"This..." Everyone was stunned. This question is too difficult.
"Qin Aiqing is worthy of being a genius who has made peerless lyrics such as "Changmen Fu" and "A Laugh in the Sea". He actually answered my question in the form of a dumb riddle. You just moved forward and looked at me motionlessly, okay, what a 'movement and look at Qin'." Emperor Tianqi said happily.
"Oh~~"
The ministers were all convinced. Wei Zhongxian and most civil and military officials admired Qin Mu and were in a bottomless manner. It was absolutely right. Qin Mu was a talented person and a genius.
"Oh, my mother, do you want someone to live? What a matter of this? Don't ask questions again, otherwise your head will definitely move."
Qin Mu was so scared that he was sweating coldly. Qin Mu regretted coming to participate in this palace examination now. When he met an emperor who asked such a question, he would have two more questions. Qin Mu was really going to hit the wall.
Although many people admire Qin Mu for no reason, Yang Lian, Ye Xianggao, Zuo Guangdou and other Donglin Party members all felt that the emperor's explanation was a bit far-fetched. Qin Mu was clearly shocked just now, so what was the "movement to look at Qin"?
"Qin Aiqing, listen to Feng..."
"Emperor, since this young master Qin is so talented, why doesn't the emperor ask another question so that the ministers can open their eyes and gain a better understanding." Yang Lian hurried out, interrupted Emperor Tianqi and said.
Yang Lian was really afraid that Qin Mu would become an official. You should know that Qin Mu was not like Wei Zhongxian, who could not read a few big words. He was a very talented person. If he ascended to a high position with the help of Wei Zhongxian, the Donglin Party would be over and the Ming Dynasty would be over.
In the Donglin Party, Yang Lian is the most courageous person. He is really a pure person. The pure meaning is to concentrate, be serious, be stubborn, two possibilities, etc.
There is also a difference between purity and persistence. The so-called persistence means that you will not shed tears without seeing the coffin, while purity means that you will not shed tears without seeing the coffin.
Pure people are the most terrifying people in the world. They often have only one goal in their lives. In order to achieve this goal, they can do whatever they want. They cannot be bribed or threatened. They do not want money, women, or even power and reputation.
In their world, there is only one goal, as well as firm determination and will.
Yang Lian is such a pure person.
He didn't have many deeds in his childhood, nor did he do anything like smashing water tanks. However, he was open and honest since he was a child. He was so clean that he was the first in the country to assess integrity as the county magistrate. In addition, this gentleman was also a person who was not afraid of trouble, and even wrote a letter to criticize Emperor Wanli of the Qin Dynasty.
You must know that this is a serious crime of raiding the house and extermination of the clan.
As for people like this, they should be unlucky.
"Ah~~"
Qin Muxin was almost scared, "This dead old man, I have no grudges and grudges with him, but he actually hurt himself. If I don't die, I will never end up with him in the future."
Qin Mu looked at Yang Lian and thought viciously, Qin Mu really hated himself for joining the Donglin Party now. Is it easy for him to become an official? You are so cruel.
"Okay, I will ask another question. If I answer correctly, I will reward you immediately. If I answer wrong..." Emperor Tianqi was a little embarrassed.
"If you answer wrong, you will be expelled from the hall and will never be hired. If you answer correctly, you will be awarded an official of the fifth rank or above." Yang Lian said immediately.
This is Yang Lian’s cleverness. After all, if Qin Mu is now granted an official position, he would probably be an official of about the fifth rank. Since that’s the case, he would just say that an official of the fifth rank or above is better.
Yang Lian didn't believe that Qin Mu could meet the questions that the emperor had just asked. How talented the emperor is today? As an old minister, he knew very well.
Now the emperor has published a text-based topic here. Who can guess it? That's a damn thing. Qin Mu was lucky just now, so he happened to meet him.
Yang Lian saw it very clearly just now. Qin Mu himself didn't know how he met him. There was a dazed look on his face, but he couldn't do anything fake.
"Your Majesty, Lord Yang is paying good attention?" Wei Zhongxian also said. Wei Zhongxian is full of confidence in Qin Mu now.
"Grandma, you're pretty good. Have you asked me? You're going to take my life."
Qin Mu cursed very unhappy and was so scared that he was sweating coldly. The question just now was completely a blind cat who met a dead mouse, and he passed by it when he saw a ghost. This time he was really going to be finished.
"My dear, since I love to play puzzles, then I will give you the puzzles. Come on, bring the painting I saw in Qianqing Palace yesterday." Emperor Tianqi said.
Soon, the eunuch in the palace took over the painting, which was a painting of broken bamboo.
"There is a mystery hidden in this painting. When guessing this riddle, you can't answer it in words. Guess it." Emperor Aoki said.
"this……"
Qin Mu could not understand this thing? Not to mention a word hidden in the painting, even if it was hidden, it would be impossible to guess. Qin Mu was so anxious that he sweated heavily on his back.
"Okay, I don't wait for someone to blast out. Let's go out by myself. It seems that I really have no life as an official." Qin Mu thought, then turned around and was about to walk out.
"Haha, Qin Aiqing, you answered correctly this time." Before Qin Mu took a step, Emperor Tianqi said happily.
"ah……"
Qin Mu turned around and looked at the emperor foolishly, thinking to himself: "Why did I answer correctly this time? I took at least one step to see you. I didn't answer anything this time?"
Qin Mu couldn't figure out where he answered correctly or how he answered correctly. Is he destined to be an official?
"Your Majesty, the old minister is stupid. I can't tell why Qin Mu answered correctly?" Yang Lian didn't understand now. Qin Mu still did nothing.
