Chapter 257: One to One (Monthly Pass)

Chen Kaizhi hurriedly bid farewell to Wu Zixi and hurried to Wenchangyuan.

The scholars from Wenchang Academy have gathered and are ready to go to the altar.

As soon as Chen Kaizhi arrived, a doctor called Chen Kaizhi anxiously and said, "Kaizhi, why are you here? Hurry up, go to Dacheng Palace to wait. Your article has been recommended by Liu Zhangyuan. You go to Dacheng Palace and follow His Royal Highness Zhao to sacrifice."

Chen Kaizhi was ashamed: "Have you come down from the Palace of King Zhao?"

"His Highness Zhao is here on behalf of the Emperor. Don't talk anymore, go quickly."

Chen Kaizhi looked at his classmates and looked envious and was ashamed. He bowed to them and quickly walked towards Dacheng Palace.

Sure enough, when I arrived at the Dacheng Palace, the guards here were much tighter. Before Chen Kaizhi got close, someone shouted loudly: "Idle people are not allowed to enter."

However, a school official came out and saw Chen Kaizhi, and hurriedly waved to Chen Kaizhi and said, "Go in and pay homage to His Highness, King Zhao."

Chen Kaizhi has seen the world. Now a King of Zhao can no longer scare him. After all, he is also a person who once talked and laughed with the Queen Mother.

He was not in a hurry. After finishing his clothes, he slowly walked into the Dacheng Hall. He saw His Highness, wearing a python robe, a seven-beam crown, and standing with his hands with majestic face.

The Mr. Li Zi also came and stood beside King Zhao. Seeing Chen Kaizhi come in, he whispered something in King Zhao's ear.

Today's sacrifice consists of three sacrificial articles. Mr. Li Zi is the main sacrificial priest, and Chen Kaizhi and another senior brother of Wencheng Academy are the second sacrificial ceremony. The senior brother has already arrived and is standing aside. He seems to have never seen a person like King Zhao, so he seems trembling and dare not even raise his head.

However, other school officials were missing, including Yang Ye, and they were not here. I believe they had already started to be busy as ritual officials.

King Zhao listened to Mr. Li Zi's whisper in his ear and looked at Chen Kaizhi lightly.

Chen Kaizhi stepped forward and bowed: "Student Chen Kaizhi, I have met Your Highness."

Neither humble nor arrogant attitude.

King Zhao smiled and said with a smile: "We have seen it, so there is no need to be too polite. Have your articles been selected?"

Chen Kaizhi's way: "Yes."

Mr. Li Zi glanced at Chen Kaizhi with his eyes wide open, his face full of pride, and he spoke lightly: "This festival is at the end."

There was a sarcastic expression in his tone.

The main and secondary sacrificial texts have always been arranged according to the level of the article. Mr. Li Zi means that his sacrificial texts are ranked first, and naturally the highest level.

Even if Chen Kaizhi is on the ground and the human list, he is still inferior to me. I guess those people are confused about this list and have confused him.

Therefore, he looked at Chen Kaizhi with deep contempt.

Although King Zhao heard Mr. Li Zi’s implicit voice, he did not agree with Mr. Li Zi’s words, but sighed: “It’s very rare. He has achieved this at such a young age. Come on, don’t be nervous. Later, I will lead you to the altar and follow the rituals. This sacrifice is once a year, and if you participate in it, you will be fearless. The loyal and righteous man has always been respected by the people of the world. When the sacrifice is held, don’t lose your composure.”

He spoke very gentlely and had no airs at all. If he had not been wearing a python robe, he would have looked like an uncle next door, and he would not have looked like a powerful prince at all.

Chen Kaizhi said, "Thank you for your advice."

King Zhao sat down, and Mr. Li took the tea attentively and brought it to King Zhao. King Zhao took the tea cup and looked at Mr. Li, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li."

Chen Kaizhi saw all this. Mr. Li Zi today did not see the indifferent look last time. He even looked at King Zhao happily and said, "Your Highness is busy every day, I think it's tired, and the students dare not take it."

King Zhao smiled, but his eyes looked at Chen Kaizhi with kindness, his face extremely gentle.

"It is said that your ancestral home is also Yingchuan. When the Empress Dowager asked you in person last time, she said, maybe you and I were a family five hundred years ago."

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but become alert. Such things may be just a joke, but after careful investigation, sometimes, different people say the same sentences are of different natures.

If he nodded by King Zhao’s words, he might have become a pretender of the royal family.

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said, "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously."

King Zhao suddenly said, "If there were children like you in the royal family, it would not be a bad thing."

He seemed to be feeling emotion, probably because he felt that the children of the royal family were not very good, and seemed to be appreciating Chen Kaizhi's talent.

Mr. Li Zi on the side said, "Yes, although he is a late junior, he is still very talented."

King Zhao looked at Mr. Li Zi again and said, "Mr. Li Zi is even more talented."

"Where, Your Highness is joking." Seeing that King Zhao had a strong interest in Chen Kaizhi, Mr. Li felt sour, and said, "Didn't your highness ask your Highness to correct the student's tribute? If your Highness had not corrected him, how could the Academy be so favored and listed as the main priest. Chen Kaizhi, why not ask your Highness to correct the tribute? "

This is obviously provocative. He is very confident in his sacrificial text. He deliberately put it on this, just to crush Chen Kaizhi in public?

Although Chen Kaizhi despised Mr. Li Zi's behavior, he did not show it. He was not interested in comparing with such a person, so he shook his head and said, "The students did not bring the articles with them."

Mr. Li Zi felt that Chen Kaizhi was afraid to compare with him, otherwise he could read it even if he didn't carry it with him.

He was very proud in his heart. If he beat Chen Kaizhi, his reputation would spread even further.

He finally felt that he was suppressing Chen Kai's head. He was in a good mood. He squinted his eyes and looked calm and gentle: "This is a pity, but it doesn't matter. I'll know later. Is your mentor Fang Zhengshan?"

Hearing him calling his mentor's name directly, Chen Kaizhi began to feel disgusted again. It was easy to say anything else, but it would be rude to think about the names of elders rashly.

Mr. Li Zi said again: "When he was in the capital, I had a relationship with him. He asked me some advice. I had some friendship with him. Unexpectedly, he was mediocre in literature, but he got an outstanding disciple like you."

Chen Kaizhi felt that he was cursing without swearing. After pausing, Chen Kaizhi said seriously: "The master has never mentioned this."

Mr. Li Zi smiled and said, "This is a pity."

King Zhao was just drinking tea quietly beside him, looking graceful and generous.

When the bell rang, King Zhao stood up and said seriously: "The good time has come."

After saying that, King Zhao had dressed up and took the lead in leaving Wencheng Palace.

Mr. Li quickly followed him step by step, while Chen Kaizhi and another senior brother hung at the end.

As King Zhao arrived at the altar, the altar was huge and could accommodate tens of thousands of people. At this time, countless teachers and students had already stood up, and countless people were surging, which was spectacular.

The road through the altar had been laid. King Zhao first stepped into the blanket extending to the altar and took Chen Kaizhi and others to slowly walk up the stone steps.

On the altar, Yang Ye and others had already worn their dresses and stood solemnly.

When King Zhao stood still, Yang Ye said, "Zhongyi waited for the soul to return, come back..."

After singing in an accent with an ancient charm, a ritual officer slowly unfolded the tribute.

At this moment, there were thousands and tens of thousands of people above and below the altar, but at this moment, there was a silence, and everyone's face was consistently solemn.

The ritual official went up to the sky and then recited: "Ahhh! The public's achievements will be born to the people forever..."'

This is Mr. Li Zi's tribute. When this tribute came out, Mr. Li Zi stood solemnly behind King Zhao. Although his face was expressionless, a trace of light flashed through his eyes.

This sacrificial article is a textbook-style model. Every word seems to have been carefully considered. Although it praises the loyalty and courage of the loyal and righteous man as usual, every sentence is a carefully scrutinized sentence, which is not biased.

Such articles should be the most popular among the officials of etiquette, no wonder Yang Ye praised them all the time.

Because the most feared thing about the sacrificial text is that it makes mistakes. Even if it is used inaccurately, it may offend the heroic spirit, let alone such a formal sacrifice occasion?

During the chanting of the sacrificial text, Mr. Li carefully looked at His Highness King Zhao from the corner of his eyes. Although he could not see His Highness King Zhao's face, he could also see through his majestic back.

Obviously, this tribute is impeccable.

Mr. Li Zi was secretly happy. He knew that the real highlight was not here, but what kind of evaluation would be obtained after this sacrificial article was sent to Qufu.

He glanced at Chen Kaizhi again, and saw that Chen Kaizhi seemed to be savoring the tribute text carefully, and sneered in his heart: "This kid, whether it is the article on the human list or the earth list, is just a surprise. The most important thing about this tribute text is to be stable. I am afraid that this time, he will be included in his tribute texts, just because of his quotation list."

Today I want to see if his tribute is ridiculous, and it just makes people distinguish between me and him.

Thinking of this, he remembered the last time he fell in Dacheng Palace, and he felt even more annoyed. The last time it was because of this kid that he was so gentle that he was so gentle. Humph, he would never forgive him.

Therefore, a strong sense of cruelty flashed through Mr. Li Zi's eyes when he looked at Chen Kaizhi.

Just as he was thinking, the ritual officer began to sing the second article.

This is an article by Chen Kaizhi, whose writing style is also an experienced master, and it can be regarded as a masterpiece.

Until the end, the third sacrificial text was finally received. The ritual officer lowered his head and looked at the sacrificial text. However, the muscles on his face twitched, as if he had seen a ghost, and his body began to tremble.

He held the tribute and didn't know if he should continue reading it, so he raised his eyes and looked at Yang Ye, but Yang Ye had a stern face and looked hidden.

The ritual official seemed to be smiling bitterly in his heart, and then he sang in ancient rhyme: "The heaven and earth have righteousness, and the manifold form is mixed..."
