Chapter 807

A few days later, the people came back with news that the patriarch Dongling was now in the palace of the state of Wei. And there are many guards around. He can't get close to the patriarch, but according to the current situation, the patriarch should be safe for the time being.

After receiving the news, Bai Ranqing and Bai Xing were relieved. At least they confirmed the safety of Dongling.

Bai Ranqing murmured, "but I don't understand. It shouldn't be difficult to leave the palace with Grandpa's martial arts. How can I be trapped all the time?"

Nangong Qi replied, "it's needless to say. Either he has a reason to stay, or Sima Jing uses people to trap him by force."

"Human poison puppet?" Bai Ranqing read all the books in the family. She knows something about human poison puppet. "What do you mean? Did Sima Jingxuan really make it?"

Nangong Qi nodded gently: "Qingqing, do you remember when Yanluo hall tried medicine for the people in the city when inviting the moon city? Sima Jingxuan was preparing for the development of human poison puppets at that time."

"The efficacy of Hongyan bone and the poisonous insects raised with human blood will make the created human poisonous puppets more bloodthirsty and cruel." Bai Ranqing couldn't help but be surprised, "is he going to create a new undead army?"

Bai Xingying said, "look at him now. I'm afraid it's what you think. I want to create an invincible army."

Sima Jingxuan's ambition has always been more than defending the country, and his greed and desire will always expand infinitely.

Bai ran Qing's face was covered with a worried look: "as you said, isn't grandpa in danger at any time?"

Nangong Qi held her hand and said gently, "Grandpa is in his hand now. We can't break in by force. All we can do now is hold still and wait for him to come to us."

Bai Xing also said, "yes. The people who inquired about the news also said that the patriarch is safe now. Don't worry."

Bai ran Qing whispered, "I hope grandpa can get away as soon as possible."

For the first time, Dayan ushered in the imperial examination with women taking part in the examination. The officials of the imperial court were very cautious about this, not how active they were. The main reason was that Nangong Yan and Ji Qingxue paid special attention to it. They were afraid of making mistakes. The emperor and queen blamed them. They could not bear this responsibility.

Although they attach importance to the scientific examination, they still have a disdainful attitude towards women's participation in the scientific examination and becoming officials in the DPRK.

In the final analysis, they still think that women can't be compared with men.

Until the results of the imperial examination were released, it was a woman who won the first prize this time.

As soon as this happened, everyone was in an uproar.

Some ridicule, some doubt, and even some are unwilling to make a fuss before they lose the list, questioning the fairness of the exam.

They studied hard in the cold window for ten years and lost to a woman. Who can believe it?

But that's the truth.

——In terms of knowledge, they are really inferior to that woman.

Finally, those who made trouble were all forked out by the management soldiers.

Nangong Yan was also surprised. It seems that Dayan is really full of talents. He can't wait to summon the top three in the imperial examination.

He wanted to see who the woman who could win the first place in one fell swoop was.

Jinluan hall.

Su Zhiming, dressed in red, blinked especially among a group of men.

The number one scholar's red robes have always been only men's clothes. Moreover, no one had thought that the number one scholar Lang would be a woman. She was not prepared for the moment. Su knew that her clothes were made by the Secretary of the palace overnight.

"Su knows to see the emperor!"

Nangong Yan sat on the Dragon chair and said in a deep voice, "raise your head!"

Su knew Yiyan looked up. She looked very young, no more than twenty at most.

Nangong Yan asked, "how old are you this year?"

"Tell the emperor that the little woman is nineteen this year."

Nineteen? Officials can't help whispering. They have such talent since they were only 19. It can be seen that their future is unlimited!

Nangong Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: "I've read your general strategy for governing the world, and it's well written."

Su Mian humbly arched his hand and said, "it's the emperor's praise."

"Su knows, I ask you what is the king and what is the people?"

Su knew and answered without hesitation, "you are a boat and the people are water. Water can carry a boat and overturn a boat."

Nangong Yan asked again, "in your general strategy for governing the world, you say that benevolent government and tyranny should coexist. What is benevolence and morality and cruelty?"

"Since ancient times, every superior has had to kill bloody people. For example, huijingdi, the founding emperor of Dayan, once ordered the pit to kill tens of thousands of remaining evils of the previous dynasty for the stability of Dayan. People say he is cruel and ruthless. But he has been in office for 40 years and worked hard to rule the country and make the people peaceful, so he is also the king of benevolence and virtue."

Speaking of this, Su Zhi paused a little and glanced at Nangong Yan secretly with the rest of his eyes to see his reaction.

After all, he's the emperor. If he's not careful, he can drag himself out. She'd better be careful.

Nangong Yan smiled: "in your opinion, is huijingdi successful or failed in his life?"

Su thought for a moment and then replied, "the little woman thinks huijingdi is a failure."

The voice fell to the ground, and everyone at the scene couldn't help taking a breath of air conditioning.

The new champion really dares to say that he dares to talk about the Taizu emperor in public. He dares to talk so much. In the end, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. He dares to say anything.

Nangong Yan was not angry, but just picked his eyebrow: "Oh? Why?"

"Emperor Huijing's means of seizing the throne were too bloody. He killed many people one after another for the sake of overall stability. It was cruel. But when he was in power, he ruled with benevolence and created a rare image of prosperity for Dayan. It was benevolence."

"The little woman said that huijingdi failed because he was too suspicious in his old age. He trusted eunuchs and killed powerful officials, which made the whole government and the public unstable. If emperor Gao Xian had not come out as a prince to stabilize the court in time, I'm afraid Dayan would no longer exist. The failure of huijingdi was that he lost his benevolence."

"If you are too kind, the courtiers will think that the monarch is weak and deceptive, and the whole court and the public will become a mess. How can the mob do great things? Therefore, I think that governing the court should be both gracious and powerful. There should be both holy grace and thunder monarchy. Moreover, I think it is also very important that we should not lose ourselves no matter how the world changes The original heart and benevolence of those who are kings. "

Su knew it was like a firecracker. He didn't breathe when he said it. The rest of the people were stunned.

Nangong Yan also gradually had a trace of appreciation in his eyes, so he asked, "do you think I am a benevolent monarch or a tyrant?"
