The arguments in the Political Affairs Hall were arguing. Emperor Li Er leisurely looked through the memorials. Everyone asked Didi to apply for the memorials. He did not comment, but only said that someone would come to give an answer. When this is the case, he had actually sent someone to invite Du Shaoqing.

Du Shaoqing took Di Renjie along the way and walked into the Political Consultative Hall with Li Chengqian.

Many people were stunned at first because everyone knew that the name of Du Gong Concubine Du was difficult to deal with.

But when they saw the child following him, they turned to glaring and thought that this was the sleeping child.

"Okay, I guess this is the crazy man who despises Confucianism in the exam room. He is so brave. How dare he come to the palace?..." Many people yelled.

Du Shaoqing pulled Di Renjie behind him, stood up and glared at everyone with fierce eyes. For a moment, the audience was silent, as if they didn't understand what this prince-consort meant.

Li Er did not look up and bent the corner of his mouth slightly, but his eyes were a little complicated.

"Everyone is a person with status, and it's so polite to be clamoring in the hall?

Is it a matter of a famous scholar to blame a child regardless of his identity?

This is my personal disciple Di Renjie, not the victim Didi, but the younger brother of the evil disciple, who didn't come today." Du Shaoqing questioned everyone.

Then he pulled Di Renjie forward to salute the emperor.

Di Renjie said respectfully: "My brother was too hard to do the research and was recuperating at the master's house. Later, I heard the whole city of rumors and rumors about him. The child was frightened and was frightened, so he could not go to the palace to explain. As the eldest brother, the student was willing to take on all the criticisms on behalf of the brother."

OK, this child speaks well, is not humble or arrogant, very good, Li Erxin appreciates it.

But the people who came to make trouble refused and ignored the doll. Instead, they questioned Du Shaoqing and said, "Mr. Prince Concubine, then the candidate Didi is also your student, right? What explanation will you give if you make such a scandal?"

Du Shaoqing looked at everyone with a sarcastic look and said calmly: "Didi is not my student, but the younger brother of a bad disciple.

Of course, although he has nothing to do with me, I have an opinion on this matter. I will not talk about whether there are any other reasons for him to sleep in the exam room, but just talk about the attitude of the government and the public afterwards. Don’t you know that he is just a nine-year-old child?

You are in a difficult situation with a nine-year-old child, and you are talking more generously. You are maintaining the dignity of Confucianism. But ask yourself, are you really that clean? Are you not taking advantage of the situation and taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble?"

A group of people were questioned by Du Shaoqing and could not speak. No one understood the right and wrong, but in fact everyone knew it clearly, but different purposes are naturally imperative.

So someone stood up righteously and retorted: "Why did the son-in-law make arbitrarily decide for no reason? It is the truth that we are talking about things and not the heart. It is because the people in Chang'an City are full of anger, so we have to stand up and uphold justice. It is the responsibility of you and I scholars to maintain the face of sages.

If you don’t make a comeback at this time, how do people in the world think of us scholars?”

"Yes, let others know that we students who study are not interested in learning themselves and want others to look up to you?" someone echoed.

Du Shaoqing asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, how do you deal with this matter?"

Li Er shirked: "You are the subject of the science test, and you still have a relationship with Didi. It's not difficult to deal with it. As long as both of you can accept it, you can discuss a plan."

The opposing party immediately said: "Your Majesty, such a disaster must be severely punished, but if he is only nine years old, he will not bully him. He can only cancel his position in the future for the scientific examination.

This is also a warning to those who have followed the inheritance of their predecessors and should have a sense of awe and dare not be arrogant!"

"What? In this way, wouldn't this ruin the future of this child?" Li Chengqian exclaimed.

The man said seriously: "What future does such a naughty boy who is not morally polite? It would be a blessing to not cause disaster for a mediocre life."

Di Renjie looked at the faces of these people and couldn't help but feel extremely angry, his little fists squeaked.

Du Shaoqing reached out and pressed his apprentice's shoulder, walked up and said with a smile: "I wonder if you have seen that child, why did you conclude that he is not moral? Is it just based on hearing from others?"

"Public grievances are everywhere, how could it be groundless?"

Du Shaoqing waved his hand and said, "It's still a bit far-fetched. Your Majesty, Little Didi couldn't come because he was frightened. But at that time, there were others present in the examination room, and there were many people who saw it with his own eyes. Why not invite the invigilator at that time to tell the truth?"

"Oh? Little Didi was frightened? Is it serious?" Li Er actually cared about this first, which surprised everyone. Hearing this tone, it seemed that His Majesty was particularly concerned about this student who was causing trouble? There would be no personal affair, right?

Du Shaoqing smiled slightly and said that there was nothing wrong, he changed the subject and insisted on asking the invigilator to go to the hall.

Li Er sent someone to spread the news, and soon the two of them were ordered to come, and one of them held a rectangular brocade box with a seal on it.

One of them is Xiao Xuanxuan's actual invigilator, and the other is the chief invigilator, who was recognized by the master at that time. This person's surname is Wang and is currently in charge of the fourth rank of the Imperial College.

First, the invigilator explained the situation in detail, and did not add any more to the fire, but sleeping was a fact, so the opponents must take advantage of the issue.

Then the chief invigilator came out and explained: "Your Majesty, my colleagues, I saw the child in the examination room at that time. He was only nine years old. Judging from his situation, it was indeed an unintentional mistake. After all, children's physical strength and energy are not as good as those of adults, which is understandable.

So he was sentenced to hand over the paper in advance and asked to leave the examination room. It must have served as a warning to the child."

A middle-aged man with a sinister expression stood up and retorted: "No, Wang Siye, I heard that you seem to have an old age with that child, or you brought the child into the venue in person and chatted and laughed very kindly. Why don't you say these?

In addition, you said it was a warning effect. It is not necessarily true that many people saw it with their own eyes at the entrance of the examination room. The child shouted arrogantly and domineeringly, "I will go to bed next time I take the exam. What explanation is this?"

This, this...

"No, it should be the people who spread rumors. That child is a good kid, how could this happen? I don't believe it." Wang Siye insisted, speaking tough, but complaining in his heart, thinking that the little princess doesn't know how to restrain herself? Isn't this a common cause?

He didn't know that at the entrance of the examination room, Xiao Xuanxuan was forced to get angry and said unintentional words in anger.

"If you don't believe it, you can call the witnesses at that time to ask, Your Majesty..."

Just when the man stood up to take advantage of the situation to expand his results, Du Shaoqing stopped him and interrupted him.

"You don't agree with the kids' lack of energy?"

The man said disdainfully: "I lack energy? Who knows if it's an excuse?"

If you don’t have enough energy, don’t take the scientific exam. Registering at the age of nine is just a mess. Why not wait until you grow up before taking it?"

Du Shaoqing photographed his apprentice Di Renjie, who stood up to speak loudly: "Dear elders and student Di Renjie, I also took the scientific exam that day. During the exam, I felt that I was not energetic, so after finishing the exam, I handed in the paper in advance and went back to bed when I got home. I could confirm that my younger brother was indeed not energetic."

You? Hehe...

The man gave such an attitude and obviously disdained Di Renjie, but because he was Du Shaoqing's personal disciple, the man dared not offend Du Shaoqing so much.

Du Shaoqing said leisurely: "Since you don't agree with this statement, I don't like to explain much.

Let’s talk about accountability. Why did you say that Didi is disrespectful to his ancestors? In your eyes, what is the fear of his ancestors?”

“Of course it is…

Well, the prince-consort is very knowledgeable. What is your opinion?" The man was about to answer, but was afraid of falling into the trap, so he asked Du Shaoqing.

Seeing this, Di Renjie couldn't help laughing secretly. A group of mobs were so scared that they were just guarding against one question. What were they asking for?

Du Shaoqing stretched out two fingers, "I have two ways here. One of them is to pray and worship the saints of Wendao every day, and pray to them to bless Wendao to prosper. I wonder if this is counted?"

"Of course, sincere praying and worshiping ancestors reflects the awe of the younger generations." Many people agreed.

Di Renjie rushed to say, "Every year, I take my brother to kowtow and burn incense to Kong Sheng. We all admire him very much, so you misunderstood."

Du Shaoqing reached out and pulled his apprentice back and signaled him not to talk too much.

Li Er and others didn't understand it. Why did Du Shaoqing talk about these things? Could it be that he was digging a hole? Looking at the situation of the people opposite, maybe one foot was already in the hole.

Du Shaoqing continued: "It's very good, so the second way is to learn the knowledge of the seniors wholeheartedly and carry it forward to comfort the ancestors. I wonder if this way counts?"

this……

When hearing this method, many people pondered and judged from a rational perspective. Of course, forget it. It doesn’t count if you carry forward academics, so what counts?

But someone replied out of caution: "Inheriting academics is certainly a comfort to the sages, but the premise is that you cannot be disrespectful to the sages. If you don't have sages in your heart but use the knowledge of sages, this is a burglary, and such a person is hateful and shameful!"

oh……

Du Shaoqing made a long sound and thought to himself that this old boy was not confused.

"Is the inheritance of sages just using the magic of words? Not the connotation of their thoughts?

Cultivating morality and abiding by etiquette and law is the inheritance. If you don’t have this kind of establishment, even if your writing is gorgeous, who is a literati?"

Wang Siye loudly agreed: "Yes, the prince consort said this. We are learning the thoughts of sages and the great ambitions of helping the world, rather than the details of the writing and introductory."

This was true, no one refuted it, no one dared to stand up and refute it openly, and some even followed suit unconsciously.

Someone stood up and asked, "Then according to the prince's opinion, how should we determine the child and how to deal with it? Just the matter was revealed based on your family's words?

Let’s not talk about whether our present answers or not, I’m afraid the people in Chang’an City will not accept it, right?”

At this time, Wang Siye stood up and said aloud: "Everyone, we are all scholars. The best way to see people's hearts is of course to read the words and read the text.

I brought the candidate's answer sheet from the examiner and asked His Majesty to review and decide. In addition, the official has another happy event to report."

Happy events??? Everyone was puzzled. What kind of stall is this and where does the joy come from?

Li Er asked curiously: "Your dear, why are you happy?"

"When the Xiaguan just borrowed the test paper from the chief reviewer Kong Jijiu, he asked me to submit this brocade box on his behalf and asked me to report to His Majesty that among the first-time candidates in Chang'an this year, several candidates with full marks in the answer sheets were released.

Congratulations to Your Majesty, I will add another talent to the Tang Dynasty.”

Full marks? Really? Quickly present the brocade box! Li Er ordered, and the eunuch Lao Gao rushed up to take it.

Someone asked curiously: "Wang Siye, didn't you say that the candidate Didi's test paper also brought it? Let's see if the candidate was really surprised or fake a show?"

Wang Siye pointed to the above and said, "Didi's test paper is also in the brocade box, and he is also one of the full scores in the answer sheet, and Kong Jijiu gave him a high opinion!"

What??

Everyone was shocked on the spot.

Li Er was excited to pick up the answer sheets one by one, patiently browsing and reading them quickly, and from time to time he could hear his applause.

After a long time, everyone was numb. Li Er came back to his senses and said with relief: "The Tang Dynasty has been founded for so many years, and the scientific examination has been held many times, and there are also differences in the first and second tests. Even if the questions for the first test are a little simpler, if you want to say that the full score is probably not one in a year.

So many have been released this year at once? God is blessed and I am lucky!"

"God blesses the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will last for thousands of years!" Many people shouted loudly.
