Chapter 40: Policy question

After Li Chaoge entered the palace and asked the people in the palace, he learned that the emperor's queen was in the Luocheng Palace and personally consulted the Shinke Jinshi.

Li Chaoge carried the skirt and entered the Luocheng Palace through the side door, lightly handed and lightly stopped behind the screen. Across the vaguely beautiful lady's hairpin screen, Li Chaoge saw a pair of gorgeous and noble couples sitting at the top of the palace? Many men in scarlet clothes, from weak crowns to not confused, of varying ages, and among them The most eye-catching one is undoubtedly a man with a clear posture and an immortal appearance.

I was used to seeing Gu Mingke wearing white clothes before, but he didn't expect him to change into red clothes. He was like the first sun reflecting in the snow, with a trace of beauty in the rustle, standing in the hall full of brilliance, squeezing nothing. Li Chaoge watched for a long while, and couldn't help but admire.

She originally thought that it was Gu Mingke's appearance. She was only suitable for clothes of cool colors. She didn't expect that as long as the person is good? Look, what to wear? Color is not a problem.

Not only Li Chaoge watching Gu Mingke, the servants of the palace servants in the Luocheng Palace, the emperor and his wife on the high platform, and even the tribute who came to face the saint, their attention was all on Gu Mingke. And Gu Mingke seems to have not noticed four weeks of sight, his voice is clear, and he does not hesitate to say: "Morality is the foundation of politics and religion, and punishment is for politics and religion. Law is used for politics and religion, and it is independent of politics and religion. Correct criminal convictions, we should think carefully and punish wisely, and only when the scholars are the public, can we clear politics and righteous morals."

Before Li Chaoge came in, the emperor probably asked a question. Gu Mingke discussed it on the spot, and it is now coming to an end. After he made a conclusion, he bowed his hand slightly, motioning for himself to finish answering.

Li Chaoge didn't know what Gu Mingke had said before, but it should be pretty good to see the expressions of everyone. The emperor sat on the top, stroking his palms and praised, without concealing his appreciation for Gu Mingke: "Well said?. You answered the test paper very well? After passing it through, the staff of the Ministry of Rites said that the volume was extremely good and they couldn't rate it, so? Go to Dali Temple and be judged by the masters of Dali Temple. After reading it, the Dali Temple Secretary bluntly said that your answer sheet has reached its peak, nothing? There is nothing to change, so I was directly ranked first. Because you were recorded by other students of Mingfa Division The answer sheet is far from enough to compare with you, so I didn’t record all of them, so I tried to retake all of them. I originally prepared the article carefully, but I didn’t expect to answer the questions on the spot. It’s amazing, really? Wonderful."

Tianhou smiled and answered: "I have read Gu Mingke's test paper, and it is really excellent. I have been copied and sent to the prince, king Zhao and the envoys of the inner palace to learn. So, it's really my luck."

Li Chaoge heard that Gu Mingke was recorded by the Ministry of Rites, because Gu Mingke's first level was too high, and the others in Mingfake couldn't record it, so they were all hung up. Li Chaoge sighed inwardly, inexplicably there was a student who felt a little distressing with Gu Mingke's reference in the same year.

Really? What did they do wrong?

Other Jinshi heard the empress give such a high evaluation to Gu Mingke, they were jealous and jealous for a while, but when they thought of the answer just now, they had nothing to say. It is said that Wen has no first and Wu has no second, but when the ability is higher than a whole ladder, even if you are a colleague, you can feel the difference in depth.

The emperor sat on the high platform to meet the Shinke Jinshi, and the Queen sat calmly beside the emperor. There was no bead curtain or screen in front of the emperor, and she was directly facing everyone talking, and there was even a feeling that she was the leader of the palace test. After praising Gu Mingke, the Queen looked back at the emperor and said: "Sage, Gu Mingke is a master of literature and history, and I am also extremely talented. If such a person does not enter the court, it would be a pity. Just? Good? He is committed to justice. , Let’s go to Dali Temple. The first official award should not be too high. From Liupin Temple, what do you think of the saint?"

Although the emperor is the emperor, he has been married to Tian Hou for 20 years. For him, Tian Hou decides government affairs for him, just like a private wife recommending food, clothing, housing and transportation to her husband. The emperor felt that the Queen's suggestion was reasonable, so he didn't think much about it, and nodded, "Okay? Let's be the Cheng Cheng of Dali Temple. Only when you rise slowly from a humble place, you can temper your will and exercise your ability."

Gu Mingke has nothing to do with this? Comments. He didn't really want to be an official in the mortal world, he was just too boring, to find something for himself? To pass the time, so no matter what the official is doing, it makes no difference to him. Gu Mingke has never had the experience of climbing slowly from a low position. Perhaps experiencing an ordinary life of a mortal would be great for him to break through his state of mind and improve his cultivation.

Gu Mingke raised his hand?, neither humble nor overbearing: "The minister abides by the decree. Thanks to the saint, the queen of heaven."

Gu Mingke has now been awarded an official, and the starting point is from the sixth rank, and everyone present cast envy eyes. After the emperor had asked Gu Mingke, he looked at other people. When the others saw this, they quickly withdrew their gazes, expecting? The emperor asked himself.

Questions and answers in the field came and went one after another, and Gu Mingke noticed that everyone's eyes gradually shifted away, but there was only one, and never left.

Gu Mingke's expression was faint, as if he didn't know it, as if he pretended that there was no one behind the screen. Li Chaoge relied on the fact that there was a screen to cover him, and he looked at Gu Mingke unscrupulously.

Where is it bad? I have to go to Dali Temple.

There was a question and answer in the hall, and a rustling sound suddenly came from behind. Li Chaoge turned his head and saw Li Changle leading a group of court ladies, rushing into the side hall with a cat. Li Changle smiled awkwardly when he saw Li Chaoge was there, and asked, "Sister, you are also here to watch the new science jinshi? I heard that this year has a particularly good one? Look, where is he?"

Li Chaoge said that he is good? Can I show you what I see? Li Chaoge was neither lukewarm nor cold, and said: "I? I don't know who you are talking about. I? I have something to do, I won't be with you."

Li Chaoge said that he was about to leave. Seeing the emperor and the queen's voice, it was estimated that the palace examination would be over soon. She had to block the road outside to intercept Gu Mingke.

Li Changle smirked and said, "Well? Okay, let me find it myself." Her voice fell, a palace lady covered her mouth, her expression was excited, and she desperately suppressed her voice, and said, "Princess, come on. I? See it! Oh my god, it's like an immortal descended from the earth!"

When Li Changle heard it, he quickly lifted his skirt and squeezed it over. She lay on the gap in the screen and tried to look out: "Hey, isn't this brother Pei's cousin? It turned out to be him?"

At this time, the maids also saw the shadows, one by one excited. They scrambled to squeeze forward, all wanting to witness the banished immortal Langjun. Li Changle disliked the squeeze, and pushed back?: "Don't squeeze, I'm about to lose my feet."

The maid behind was standing on tiptoes, looking at people. She was already unsteady, but she suddenly lost her balance when she was pushed like this by Li Changle. The maids instinctively grabbed the people around them, but they brought them down one by one. Finally, the maids and Li Changle huddled together, knocked down the screen with a plop, and fell to the ground.

After Li Chaoge took two steps, a voice suddenly came from behind him. As soon as she turned her head, it was right? Seeing Li Changle and the court ladies fell into a ball, knocked over the screen and rolled out. Li Chaoge was stunned. She looked up and saw the few new scholars who were in the center of the hall, looking at them in amazement.

Gu Mingke has always pretended not to know the prying eyes behind the screen. He gave these little ladies a lot of face, but as a result, he deliberately avoided suspicion, but they fell out by themselves. For a while, the inside and outside of the hall were quiet, and Gu Mingke was the first to react. He swept across the colorful and tangled women on the ground, looked at Li Chaoge who was standing, and saluted first: "See Princess Anding, Princess Guangning."

The others also came back to their senses, and followed them, bowing down: "See the princess."

Li Chaoge couldn't wait to cover his face, oh my god, it was too shameful. The female relatives hide behind the screen and watch people. Although it is not ethical, the Datang women have not paid attention to rituals. As long as you don't mention me? Don't tell me, everyone can take the matter over in a lively manner. Who would have thought that Li Changle actually jumped out, and also brought a folding screen, connected? Exposing Li Chaoge.

A lesson from the heavens, Li Chaoge is about to leave, what does it matter to her? What's the matter?

But no matter how awkward it is, the venue has to be held up. Li Chaoge endured embarrassment and nodded solemnly to Gu Mingke and others: "Gu Langjun, how are you Jinshi?"

Li Changle got up from the ground with difficulty, nodded casually, and hurriedly hid behind the court lady. The face of the emperor and the queen above is very bad? Look, the imperial servant saw something wrong, so he hurriedly said: "Jinshi is the pillar of the court, and his words and deeds are important. The saint queen asks Jinshi studies? Ask, maybe the two princesses have something to say. Ask."

Li Changle hid behind the court lady and refused to show up. She came to see the beautiful man. How could she prepare for it? Question? These Jinshi piled up together to look at? They didn't look good, but when they were taken out alone, each one of them was the best of the scholars. Li Changle couldn't even learn the Six Classics, so he dared to make a mistake. If she asked a very stupid question, it would be real? Laughing and generous.

Li Changle didn't dare to ask Wenjing, and Li Chaoge didn't dare. But there is always someone to come forward, Li Chaoge endures the embarrassment, and said solemnly: "I? I read Lüshu a few days ago, and there is a question that has been puzzled. Dare to ask the head of the Mingfa Division to explain it?"

Everyone didn't expect Li Chaoge to really ask, they were surprised for a moment, and they all looked at Gu Mingke. Ming Fake's first place is obviously Gu Mingke.

Gu Mingke gestured slightly and said, "It is not an honor for the minister to help the princess."

"A person who is enthusiastic about righteousness, filial piety to his parents, and friendly to his neighbors. He is very well evaluated in the public? But he killed his wife. May I ask if this person should be convicted?"

"Naturally." Gu Mingke said calmly, not hurriedly or slowly, "The law does not ask for affection?. Respectful filial piety is good, but if you kill, you should also be severely punished."

"Okay?" Li Chaoge asked again, "There is another woman. She is notorious, withdrawn and perverse. She is a murderer in order to avenge her relatives. Should this person be convicted?"

After Li Chaoge had finished speaking, there was a faint voice in the hall, and the scholars discussed each other, obviously each had their own opinions. But Gu Mingke's expression? Still calm, he almost didn't hesitate, and said, "Yes."

Li Chaoge's expression changed slightly, and then he heard Gu Mingke say: "But there was a reason for her incident. The murder charge cannot be changed, and the sentence can be discretionary."

Li Chaoge was quite satisfied with the answer. She nodded and thanked Gu Mingke: "Thank you, Gu Langjun, for clearing up your doubts. I hope Gu Langjun will defend his righteousness at Dali Temple in the future, settle the wrongs, and return the people to a man. Long Qiankun."

Gu Mingke also replied. The two pretended to look like that? It really happened.

After this interruption, the embarrassment just now passed. The emperor frowned and swept across the two of them, and asked, "Chaoge, what do you ask these for?"

"Back to the sage, I asked about this because I heard a strange case on the street. I thought it was unbelievable, so he took it and asked the head of the Mingfa Division chosen by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Rites together." Li Chaoge finished, right. The emperor Tianhou saluted and said, "Don’t hide from the saint and the Queen, this case happened recently. It is the case of the Rakshasa bird cannibalism. The son-chen brought back two suspects, and his father Mo Dalang was acquitted, and his daughter was acquitted. Ma Linlang was accused of all crimes. The children felt that the judgment of Dali Temple was unfair, so everyone dared to ask the sage to repay the case and try the case again."

This... the emperor frowned. Since it is a case judged by the Dali Temple, it’s okay to overthrow it rashly? He is about to turn it down. Seeing that the situation is wrong, Li Chaoge hurriedly said: "Sage, you and Tian Hou said a few days ago that you would choose the real You are a talented person, but reading books well does not mean that you are good at actual skills. Although Gu Mingke is the number one, we have never seen how talented people are. We should let him take it. Practice your hands on this case? The judgment of the senior Dali Temple is ahead. It can test his abilities without worrying about him going wrong. Sage, what do you think of the queen?"

When Gu Mingke heard Li Chaoge's words, his eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Li Chaoge lightly. This woman really doesn't want to be forgiving, and she doesn't choose any means. In order to achieve her own goals, she will not hesitate to slander Gu Mingke.

Some time ago, he said that his grammar is particularly good? Li Shu came along casually. After a long time, I could say that he was nothing but errand without blinking.

Are mortal women so fickle?
