The voice actually changed a lot.It's no longer an immature child's voice, and it doesn't have that kind of hostility that is always on guard.But for some reason, the familiarity lingers.

Shen Yu knew that this order could only come from the former prince, now the new emperor, Emperor Xuanqing.He took small steps forward, bowed and bowed again.

"Excuse me, raise your head and answer." The voice from the main seat came again.

Shen Yu slowly raised her head.

On the steps in Jinshen Hall, there were a dozen or so officials standing, most of them were in crimson official robes, only two were wearing dark blue robes, one he recognized was the King of Chu, and the other was obviously another prince, Prince Yu.

But he only cared about looking at the person sitting in the middle of the golden hall, and he was a little lost in thought for a while.

Is it... Zan Yuan?

Zan Yuan has lost weight, and no longer has a childish bun face, oval face, pointed chin, and sharp eyebrows.

Countless fragments of the past were strung together, and suddenly became clear.How could he have never imagined that who could walk with the King of Chu, trouble the governor to spread the word, and the servants personally greet him, who else could it be?

Zhou Kuang coughed lightly, Shen Yu immediately reacted, bowed his head and pleaded guilty, "The student is rude, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

He forgot that this was in Jinshen Hall, above the temple, and that man was the new emperor, not the little fat Zanyuan who was pulling him.

"It was I who was thinking about something, and lost my mind for a while. There is no need to be too polite." Wu Junyi's voice was calm, and he revealed the matter just now.He said: "The strategy you will try is very good. I have read it. You can tell the adults about it."

Shen Yu was in a trance for a moment, then replied: "Student obeys the order."

He saluted the rest of the officials, and the King of Chu gave him a barely perceptible nod. "I'm right, I've heard the sincerity of the rituals and music, the sincerity of the heaven and the earth, the virtue of the gods, and the gods of the upper and lower..."

He first recounted his policy theory, speaking at a leisurely pace, enunciating clearly, and eloquently.Then, he inherited the momentum in his article, and started to talk about it by citing scriptures, closely following the word "pragmatic".

After speaking for about a quarter of an hour, Shen Yu stopped and saluted again, "Students speak boldly, please give me your advice."

The faces of the adults are not very good-looking.There is no other reason, Shen Yu's words are warm and mellow, but the problems he accused are more or less shared by everyone present.

Shen Yu saw an old man's mouth curled up, and said: "The old minister is relying on the old to sell the old, so let's ask questions first——Shen Juren, if you face the saint today, you will write a five-character response poem, which will flatten the Qiyang rhyme. It must not be difficult for a talented person, right?"

In fact, Shen Yu had thought of this situation a long time ago, and immediately patted his sleeves and bowed deeply to the lord.It's just that for some reason, he always felt that there was a faint worry in the eyes of the top staring at him.

"Students dare not lie to adults, students are enlightened, clumsy and dull, and have never learned to compose poetry."

Zhou Kuang's eyes looked like he was going to eat the person who asked the question.

"Shen Sheng is a student of the Imperial College, hasn't he ever learned to compose poetry?" The man then raised his eyebrows, looking very surprised.

The rest of the adults in scarlet robes and high crowns also talked in amazement, while the disciples waiting behind Shen Yu had different expressions, some were secretly happy, some were disdainful, and some were drumming from the bottom of their hearts.

"That's enough, Prime Minister Jia." Wu Junyi cut off the discussion with a cold face. "The courtiers should focus on being pragmatic. What's the harm in learning poetry slowly? Left and right must also be selected."

"Shen Sheng's policy questions are very well written. I have a lot of time to deal with, and I have no time to spend on redundant matters. In the future, the officials must have something to say in the deliberations. Otherwise, they will be warned, and the officials will be dismissed."

When the emperor said these words, anyone with a brain can see that this policy is in line with His Majesty's intentions.

So for a while, the gaze on Shen Yu was different.Who is their new emperor?Apparently he had this intention for a long time, so he ordered the grand master to ask such a question, but he didn't expect that some students could answer it correctly.

He even changed the requirements of the previous performance, so what else can he do but obey his orders?

The courtiers were completely silent, and no one dared to ask Shen Yu any more questions.All the people breathed a sigh of relief.Wu Junyi asked Huiyuan to take a step forward.Shen Yu silently retreated into the queue.

Yang Feng was one year older than Shen Yu. He had a round face and was not tall. He looked very kind and had a slight accent, but he was very knowledgeable and could answer any questions fluently.

Chen Hongpeng is the oldest of the top three in the competition, and he has passed the crowning year.He is tall and tall, with thick eyebrows like ink, and eyes like stars.His official speech is very standard, although the words are few, they are precise.

After everyone finished the retest, they were taken down again, and before sunset within a limited time, they were given a strategy question.Since the list will be released the next day, and the judging will be completed on the same day, this article mainly depends on calligraphy.As long as you can write well-regulated words, perfunctory enough words, and don't break taboos, you will basically be stable.

Shen Yu wrote the article quickly, and wrote the first draft before the waiter brought up the food.He was almost the first group to hand in the papers. He got up to hand in the papers, and then he was guided by the eunuch and walked out alone.

Not far away, Shen Yu was stopped by a young eunuch, who bowed slightly: "Shen Juren, I trouble you to go with my servant."

Shen Yu had expected such an encounter early on, so she didn't shirk it, nodded lightly, and said, "It's time for you, father-in-law."

The little eunuch politely led Shen Yu to walk south around the three main halls.They staggered the remaining trials that turned in and left.Seeing the Fengtian Gate approaching, Shen Yu's eyebrows twitched a little strangely.Further south, after exiting the Meridian Gate, it is time to leave the palace.

The little eunuch seemed to see his doubts, and explained with a smile: "Shen Juren, don't worry, Your Majesty has ordered you to take you to Wenhua Palace."

Then he turned to the left, led Shen Yu around the Wen Building and Wen Hua Gate, and went straight to the Wen Hua Hall.

Shen Yu finally heard who found it, and sighed silently in her heart. Before she had time to express anything, the little eunuch stopped and pushed him into the hall, "Your Majesty is waiting for you."

Shen Yu only had time to say thank you, and then slowly walked into the main hall.The face-to-face etiquette learned in the morning played another role. He only saw a person in the main seat in the hall, so he knelt down, "Student Shen Yu pays homage to His Majesty..."

Before he finished speaking, his left arm was grabbed by a hand, and he lifted it up slightly, with a laughing voice close at hand:

"I recognized you a long time ago. I have waited for you for a long time, and you really lived up to my expectations."

"You...recognized me...student long ago?" Shen Yu raised her head in astonishment, almost calling her out of order.The young king in front of him is only 15 years old, but he is full of momentum because of E Guanbo.That's right, it's no wonder that he wore coarse clothes that day and his skin became red. He was such a rich and well-clothed little prince who was loved by thousands of people.

Only when he laughs, there is still the shadow of seven or eight-year-old Zan Yuan.

Wu Junyi didn't blush at all when he lied. He had long believed that Shen Yu was not an ordinary person, so it was completely expected to see him appearing in front of him again.

"You're the one who makes the seedlings, right?"

Seeing that Shen Yu was speechless, he smiled softly. "If you don't want to say it, don't talk about it. In front of me, no, in front of me, you don't have to be so restrained. You are my savior."

Shen Yu finally regained her sense because of this sentence, and hurriedly said: "Students don't dare! Students can't do the work of the day, and they can't be saved!"

"Hush." ​​Wu Junyi supported his arms with both hands to prevent him from kneeling down, and made a gasp with his lips, making Shen Yu calm down involuntarily. "This matter is still a taboo in the palace, and I still ask you to keep it a secret."

"This, this is natural." Shen Yu's heart fluctuated up and down, but fortunately Wu Junyi finally let go of his arm, walked leisurely towards the place where he was originally sitting, pointed at him, and ordered him to sit down.

Shen Yu hesitated for a moment before sitting down.He found that there were only the two of them in the main hall, and the little eunuch at the door disappeared without a trace.It was Zanyuan's voice that called his attention back:

"I haven't re-introduced myself yet. You should know by now. My surname is Wu, and I'm Shangjun and Xiayi, and I learn the word." Ming Xuan Emperor Wu Junyi looked at Shen Yu with a smile, and forced himself and Shen Yu's memory to be named Zan. Yuan's little fat man draws an equal sign.

"Zan Yuan is my original nickname, you can continue to call me that, or... learn from it."

Shen Yu didn't know what to say except "students dare not dare", only her brain was still spinning uncontrollably.

Zan Yuan, assisting the destiny, this word obviously interprets Yi as Assistant Prime Minister Zuo Zan, and that's right, Prince Duan Ren was still alive at that time, and Zan Yuan also said that his brother... treated him very well.

Only later, probably after he was found, he became the prince, so the word "Xizhi" was re-written.Xi Tongyu, this is interpreting Yi as a bird wanting to fly.

Shen Yu was silent, and Wu Junyi just looked at him so quietly.

"Is your name Bo Jin now?" He suddenly said.

In fact, Wu Junyi seldom chats with people, let alone the experience of racking his brains to find topics.

Shen Yu was almost used to this kind of silence, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his body when he was awakened by this sentence: He is really abnormal and slack today.

"Exactly." Shen Yu replied politely.

Seeing his reserved appearance, Wu Junyi squinted his eyes. "Perhaps you don't know very well. I went to the Imperial Prison to watch you later, and... I even asked someone to pass you a gift."

When he talked to Shen Yu so kindly, what he was thinking in his heart was: if Mr. Guo's family dared to lose the manuscript he had painstakingly copied, he must let Guo Xu teach his son well!

Fortunately, Shen Yu replied immediately: "I know, I received it. I am very... touched." The touch when he received the manuscript was not fake, especially when he practiced handwriting and copied it word by word.

"I...have practiced calligraphy for a long time." This sentence came in a very soft voice.

Wu Junyi raised his head suddenly.He never thought that Shen Yu would say this.

Shen Yu lowered her head, folded her hands on her lap, looking embarrassed, her white earlobes were bright red.

Wu Junyi suddenly laughed again. "I've read your test paper, and the writing has really improved a lot." He just vaguely recalled, no wonder he felt familiar when he read the paper - not because it was still like Shen Yu's bad handwriting at the beginning, but because It is somewhat similar to his own font.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Shen Yu replied.

It's just that after touching on the topic of the past, such a title doesn't sound as respectful and unfamiliar as it was at the beginning.

"You can think about it," Wu Junyi could hardly hold back his smile, "Where do you want to go in the three provinces and six departments?"

The author has something to say:

Shen Yu's words come from "Book of Rites"
