Chapter 1064: The new champion is announced
As expected, after Emperor Tianxi sat down, he saw the light pink paper on the table at a glance.
The Empress Dowager followed Emperor Tianxi's gaze and explained in a gentle voice, "This is a letter from Fu Ya, inviting Ning'er to go out for an outing. I have already agreed."
When Emperor Tianxi heard this, he laughed heartily.
"This little girl, Fu Ya, has stirred up a lot of trouble in the capital since she came to the capital. I'm afraid that the topic of conversation in the streets and alleys of the capital is all about this little girl..."
When Emperor Tianxi said this, the Empress Dowager also laughed.
"That's true." The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I heard that this child not only almost emptied the family's wealth of a century-old family, but also smashed the plaque that had been hanging there for hundreds of years. Only she could do such a thing..."
For a moment, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Tianxi, mother and son, chatted around Tang Bao as if they were at home, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
After a while, Emperor Tianxi casually picked up the note and took a look at it. Then he looked at Princess Huaning and said, "Since your grandmother has approved, then you can choose a date to leave the palace and go out of the city with Fuya."
"My daughter thanks you, father."
Princess Huaning bowed quickly, feeling relieved.
Emperor Tianxi was a little skeptical, and asked, "I wonder if this little girl Fuya will cause any trouble again?"
There was a hint of curiosity and... anticipation in his tone.
The Empress Dowager: “…”
But it is.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Princess Huaning and her eyelids suddenly twitched.
Emperor Tianxi suddenly remembered that he had not left the palace for an outing for many years.
The imperial residence outside Beijing should also be renovated...
**
Man proposes, God disposes.
A continuous spring rain postponed people's spring outing until after the palace examination.
Princess's Mansion.
Old man Su was spinning around in the room.
"Why haven't you come back yet..."
Old man Su couldn't help rubbing his hands while spinning around.
There's no way, he's nervous!
My son did very well in the provincial and metropolitan examinations, so he must not fail in the palace examination!
"Dad, please sit down and have some tea. It's raining outside. Maybe the emperor will invite you to dinner after the palace examination." Tang Bao poured a cup of tea for Old Man Su and said with a smile.
Little did they know that at this moment in the Golden Palace, Emperor Tianxi was very interested and was looking at Su Laowu's test paper again and again.
Is it the top scholar or the top scholar?
This was the first time he had seen such words explaining the problem.
Emperor Tianxi put down the test paper and looked at the candidates standing below with their heads bowed.
"Su Wuhu!" said Emperor Tianxi.
"The students are here!"
Su Laowu hurriedly stepped out and bowed to Emperor Tianxi.
Emperor Tianxi looked at the slender and dignified young man below and nodded secretly in his heart.
He really is worthy of being Fuya’s brother!
Not only does he have a handsome appearance and clear eyes, but he also has unique thoughts.
Completely got rid of the pedantic and self-contained attitude of the literati.
They can be given important positions in order to eliminate those old stubborn people in the court who stick to the old ways and have narrow minds!
By the way, the power that the aristocratic families had held for many years was also dissolved and split...
In an instant, several thoughts flashed through Emperor Tianxi's mind.
"Why do you say that one of the ways to develop national strength, make the people more prosperous and healthy, and make the country stronger and stronger is to find talented people from the people, take their strengths and avoid their weaknesses?" Emperor Tianxi asked calmly.
"In reply to the emperor, I believe that the masters are among the people." Su Laowu said loudly.
Well, he heard this from his sister.
"As the saying goes, every profession has its specialties. Even common peddlers or country folk could be geniuses..."
Su Laowu had a clear idea and began to give examples.
"Take the student's younger sister, for example. When she was still unsteady on her feet, she stumbled upon the leaves of a certain shrub. Burning them can repel locusts, thus preventing the damage caused by a locust plague..."
"This incident can be said to be just a coincidence. It is a blessing for my sister and for all of us in the village. But there is nothing wrong with it. This discovery is beneficial to the country and the people..."
"Even if this method of driving away locusts was just something my sister discovered by chance, it should be spread, rewarded, and promoted to give people hope and expectations. This will encourage them to face disasters not by passively waiting but by racking their brains, thinking of every possible way, and facing them positively..."
Just like when there is a big reward, there will always be brave men.
National promotion, coupled with generous rewards, is the driving force for people to reform and innovate.
"Also, the self-heating meals and heart-warming patches my sister developed are not only of great help to the people's livelihood, but can also be used by soldiers at the border..."
Following Su Laowu's explanation, all the candidates in the hall felt as if they had been enlightened.
Originally, they were quite disgusted with the argument that "the experts are among the people"!
The idea that "all things are inferior except reading" has long been deeply rooted in their minds.
In their minds, country folk and peddlers are almost synonymous with ignorance.
However, when all the candidates heard Su Laowu mention Tangbao, they were speechless.
There was no way. As for how to drive away locusts, they had never heard of it and had no idea about it.
However, they were not only deeply impressed by natural meals, but also almost had a psychological trauma.
In the hall, except for the candidates from Fude Academy and Zheng Ziqian, the son of Prime Minister Zheng, everyone had suffered a heart-wrenching poison - the poison of fragrance!
After a few days of the Spring Examination, they felt dry and stimulated, biting hard, cold steamed buns for a few days.
That feeling is so unforgettable!
I will never forget it in my life!
However, after these people left the examination room, they all received Tang Baoshi's decoction or pills.
Everyone is grateful to Tang Bao and cannot feel any resentment or hatred towards her.
Such a beautiful girl, not only has a noble status and unparalleled medical skills, but also has a kind heart...
Alas! Why isn’t she my sister?
The candidates in the hall were jealous of Su Laowu and secretly frightened.
Su Laowu's description of the self-heating meals and heart-warming stickers used on the soldiers at the border made them look amazed.
Nowadays, those who can reach the palace examination are definitely the smartest ones.
After a little thought, these people understood its strategic significance.
What's more, there are those small pills that are easy to carry distributed by the little princess.
The effect of treating and preventing colds is amazing!
As a result, all the candidates were convinced by Su Laowu's explanation.
Emperor Tianxi, who was sitting high up above, was naturally very pleased!
Especially when he saw the expressions of admiration on the faces of the candidates below, Emperor Tianxi was even happier and couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha... Great! Lord Su has unique insights and strategic plans. He is a pillar of the country and a top scholar!"
After Emperor Tianxi finished speaking, he waved his pen and appointed Su Laowu as the top scholar in the court!
