Feng Heming

Chapter 229
Gu Yidan was led to the side hall by Chang Shi, served tea, she sat quietly, and could still hear the bustle of the main hall.

After a while, Chen Chao walked in like a spring breeze, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be hidden.

This is exactly the same as the two people I saw a few days ago.

"Your Highness is in a good mood?" Gu Yidan has been in contact with Chen Chao a lot, and he can speak freely when he is in a good mood.

Chen Chao was high-spirited, with a sense of planning and planning, "Did you see those people waiting outside the door when you came in?"

Seeing Gu Yidan nodding his head, he smiled even more proudly, "Those are all poor students from all over the world, and I have recruited no less than 100 people."

At this moment, Gu Yidan couldn't help being jealous, she worked hard to recruit a dozen people, and the news of the imperial examination spread, Chen Chao had already recruited hundreds of people, and there were still a steady stream of people coming from all over the place.

This kind of benefit should belong to her, Gu Yidan was jealous for a while, and sighed helplessly in her heart, forget it, the imperial examination could not be promoted without Chen Chao, anyway, she benefited in the end.

"Congratulations, my lord, for recruiting so many capable men and sages." Gu Yidan congratulated with a smile.

Chen Chao suppressed the smile on the corners of his lips, pretending to be modest on the surface, but in fact he was showing off, "Hey, my lord is too busy to receive these poor students these days. There are too many people. I have been waiting outside the door for several days."

Looking at this posture, Gu Yidan knew that Chen Chao's old problem had recurred, and he wanted to be flattered.

Gu Yidan was kind and generous, and complimented: "This is because you have the image of a potential dragon, so you attract poor students from all over the world to vote. In the future, these people will be the prince's virtuous ministers, and assist the prince to build Beiliang into a prosperous dynasty."

It may be that Gu Yidan's praise really won Chen Chao's heart, the smile on his face widened even more, and he waved his hand, "Third lady, pass, pass."

The pride in his heart was not vented enough, so Chen Chao simply continued: "Among the students from poor families recruited by this king, there are two people who are particularly knowledgeable. These two people are the future Jiuqing!"

Gu Yidan was very good, first he was surprised, and then asked curiously: "I wonder who can make the prince appreciate it so much?"

"One's name is Xu Liangcai, and the other's name is Ye Gaoyi. They are very talented in literature at a young age, and I really love them."

Gu Yidan wrote down these two names, so many students came to apply, but Chen Chao remembered their names, it must be that these two people have something special.

Chen Chaoxian showed off for a while, and then remembered the reason for meeting Gu Yidan, "You came to see me, but did you finish the imperial examination questions?"

Gu Yidan took out the test paper from the bag and handed it to Chen Chao, "My lord, the rules and test questions in the test room are all written on it. San Niang thought that this test question should not be seen by anyone other than you. If the exam questions are leaked out, the department will fail, and the family will make trouble again, we have to guard against it."

Chen Chao's heart shivered, and his expression straightened, "San Niang is right. This king has collected this paper himself, and will never let others see it. I still have important things to do, so I won't keep San Niang."

Gu Yidan blessed his body, bid farewell and left.

Chen Chao personally took the papers and put them back in his dormitory, and then went to the main hall to talk with the students.

In the evening, Chen Chao hosted a banquet for the students he valued. This time, the number was very small, less than ten people. Hosting a banquet to entertain them is also the meaning of courtesy and corporal.

When everyone was full of food and wine, everyone was drunk, and there was a sound of exchanging glasses for wine in the hall. At this time, a deep male voice sounded,
"I, Ye Gaoyi, respect Your Highness with a cup. His Highness is talented. He came up with an imperial examination, so that we poor students don't have to waste our knowledge of studying hard, and it also prevents those from aristocratic families from oppressing us everywhere based on our birth.

This is a fair competition. Those of us poor students dream of having this day. Why are those from aristocratic families not as knowledgeable as us, but because of their noble backgrounds, they can rise to the top?

Your Highness, you let us poor students never have to be angry again, I offer you a toast! "

This is a slightly burly man with a rough face, but his knowledge is excellent, which is very valued by Chen Chao. After he drank a glass, Chen Chao also picked up his own wine cup, and also returned a drink. Ye Gaoyi said His heart was full of joy, and everyone agreed unanimously, which made him very excited.

Another person stood up, this person was tall and thin, with a handsome face, and he also held a wine cup in his hand, "Brother Gao Yi is right, God bless me, I have a prince in Beiliang, let us have the opportunity to learn literature Martial arts are sold to the imperial family, and good talents also offer a cup to the prince."

Xu Liangcai drank it, and Chen Chao also smiled back.

The rest of the students have seen how much Chen Chao attaches importance to the two of them in the past few days. Among all the students present, the two are already faintly headed. Others know that if they go up to toast, King Wei Sheng may not return the respect, so they simply don't learn from it. With these two people.

After Xu Liangcai sat down, Ye Gaoyi said again, "The imperial examination proposed by Your Highness is a plan for thousands of years. Gao Yi believes that among all the princes in the Holy Majesty, only the prince has such a broad mind and ability. Liang is the ruler of the prince, this is our blessing, it is the blessing of the people of the world!"

Ye Gaoyi's face was red and his eyes were blurred. After saying this, he yelled a few more words and fell asleep on the table.

However, these words made Xu Liangcai's eyelids twitch violently, and he glanced at Ye Gaoyi secretly and probingly, unable to grasp for a moment whether he was really drunk or pretended to be asleep.

After all, what he said was really a bit rebellious. Thinking about it deeply, isn't this encouraging King Weisheng to have a heart of disobedience and want to replace the crown prince?
Chen Chao was also drunk, and heard Ye Gaoyi's words, the royal father's favor to him these days, the benefits brought to him by the imperial examination, the flattery of his students, and the sentence that his father once said to the prince ——The words of "regret and fail to establish a court" made Chen Chao feel a surge of arrogance amidst the alcohol.

Ye Gaoyi's words hit the deepest desire in his heart, if he will rule Beiliang in the future.
Chen Chao suddenly felt that the crown prince was an eyesore, and muttered, "Second brother, why is he still alive? A dead crown prince is a good crown prince."

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, Chen Chao shouted loudly, and ordered drunkenly: "Come on, call Chang Shi over here."

When Chang Shi came over, Chen Chao opened his blurred eyes, breathed out alcohol and said, "Tomorrow, I will build a new palace for this king, and this king will name it Xuanguang Palace."
