Chapter 149

In the Palace of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, who was not much older than Zhao Ji, was lying on the cold bed without doing anything, watching the singing and dancing in front of him, and a soft and soft beauty hit her legs.

Although the singing and dancing in front of him seemed very charming, Zhao Xu's eyes seemed so scattered, his pupils were not focused at all, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this moment, a little eunuch walked into the hall, then trotted along the side, came to Zhao Xu's cold couch, and reported in a low voice. "The official family, the palace of Duan Wang is down..."

Zhao Xu finally came back to his senses and his eyes lit up. "Oh? My eleventh brother is here? Let them part, let Shiyilang come in quickly. This kid is so good that His Highness is not good at being a good prince. He insists on going to the examination school to learn those people. It's really..."

After the dancers bowed to Zhao Xu, they respectfully retreated. After a short while, Zhao Ji, who was dressed in princely clothes, stepped into the hall, and walked into the palace.

Seeing this Eleventh Brother who is not much older than him, Zhao Xu finally showed a rare smile on his face. "Eleven Lang, come here quickly and let Brother Wei see. I guess he has suffered in the examination school these days, right?"

"My brother, I pay homage to the official family..." Zhao Ji gave a respectful salute and then touched his nose awkwardly. "It's okay, the taste in the exam school is really heavy, especially on the last day, but it was sour and I didn't even taste any food."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help laughing loudly, pointing at Zhao Ji and shook his head. "I've said a long time ago that going to such a place will lead to hardships, but Shiyilang, you just don't listen."

"I also know that the official family is full of good intentions, but I finally feel that I have a good reputation. If I don't go through the test, maybe others think that I am boasting about myself, so I decided to give it a try." Zhao Ji sat down and explained with a smile.

Zhao Xu began to ask how Zhao Ji was doing in the exam. Zhao Ji naturally answered one by one honestly, and naturally there were some interesting things about the exam. Of course, he told him to make Zhao Mingcheng faint from hunger and eventually sent out of the exam room.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but shook his head with laughter and tears. "These people are really too rich and well-off. All other candidates can tolerate it. Why can't he bear it?"

Zhao Ji turned his eyes and smiled at Zhao Xu. "Officials, when it comes to Zhao Mingcheng, something big happened before entering the city of Zhao Mingcheng. It happened to involve Zhao Mingcheng. Maybe his father, the son of the Kingdom, Zhao Tingzhi, was also involved..."

Zhao Xu couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes fell on Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji smiled embarrassedly. "The matter also involves some of the gentlemen Wang Wushan I worshiped the day before..."

"It is the Wang Wushan who compiled the dance "Thousand-Handed Guanyin" and then sensationalized the entire Bianliang with a song "Mulan Ci" at the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows and his interest increased greatly.

Zhao Ji nodded, first looked at Zhao Xu's expression, and then said carefully. "Yes, it's a pity that Mr. Wushan was slapped outside the examination school because of Zhao Mingcheng and his son..."

Zhao Xu was really surprised now. "Wait, do you mean that Wang Wushan was rejected from the examination room? What's going on? Shiyilang, please tell me more details."

Zhao Ji naturally informed Zhao Xu in front of him in detail about what he saw and heard that day.

After Zhao Ji said that, Zhao Xu's young face was gloomy. He sat upright and gently tapped his fingers on the handrail. Zhao Ji was very tactful and didn't say anything else. He just sipped the tea in a small mouthful, waiting for Zhao Xu to speak.

"I was going to shine on the moon, but the moon shines on the ditch..." Zhao Xu slowly stood up and walked into the hall. At this moment, the moon was hanging high in the night sky, standing in the hall, and you could see the bright crescent moon.

For this Wang Yang and Wang Wushan, Zhao Xu, who also likes literature and art, has been a great friend for a long time, but he has never been able to meet him.

However, although no one has been seen, he can often see his works, whether it is the Thousand-Handed Guanyin that made Jin Mingchi's dinner successful, or the intoxicating and fascinating masterpieces.

All of them made Zhao Xu feel even more happy. When his father, Emperor Shenzong, was in power, a talented person like Su Dongpo came out of nowhere. Now, after he ascended the throne, there were also amazing talents like Wang Yang who were famous in the world.

Isn’t it just that the spirit of the father is blessed by heaven? I heard from the Eleventh Lang Zhao Ji that he had made friends with him and arrived in Wangwu Mountain. Zhao Xu, who had rarely had time to leave the palace, was very happy and specially told the Eleventh brother to make more friends with him.

Later, the calligraphy and paintings of Wang Wushan brought back by the Eleventh Brother shocked Zhao Xu, and he felt that Wang Wushan was definitely the biggest discovery since he ascended the throne.

But who would have thought that such a talent would be rejected from the examination for such a thing, and thus would have failed the Wangwushan Prefecture Examination Road, wouldn’t it delay such talented people’s life for three more years?

What’s important is that such a thing is not just time, but also hurts the other person’s heart…

"What a man, I would illuminate the moon, but the moon shines on the ditch... well said!" Zhao Xu, who was thinking like a tide, saw a cloud passing by, covering the crescent moon, and couldn't help but brush his sleeves with some angriness and shouted. "What a man who was unintentionally fighting for spring, and the other was jealous. He fell into mud and crushed into dust, and only the fragrance was as good as before... Such a talent and such a person were rejected by a minor official."

Zhao Xu took a deep breath, walked back to the couch and sat down, and couldn't help asking Zhao Ji. "Shiyilang, why didn't you stand up at that time?"

"The official, my brother was very indignant at that time. He had decided to come out to talk to Mr. Wushan, but he was blocked by Mr. Wushan..." Zhao Ji heard the anger contained in Zhao Xu's seemingly plain tone, and did not dare to neglect him, so he quickly defended himself.

After hearing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but shook his head. "I don't think that this Mr. Wushan's character and moral character are so noble. Compared with that, Zhao Tingzhi is simply..."

At this moment, a eunuch suddenly walked in with a food box. "Official family, your snow-eared lotus seed soup is ready..."

"Well, let it go, I'll eat it later." Zhao Xu waved his hand and signaled the eunuch to retreat, but suddenly raised his eyebrows. "Come back, is there any extra? Let them serve more, and I'll go over to greet the Empress Dowager later."

After seeing the eunuch taking the order and leaving, Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Xu with a confused look on his face, thinking to himself, "Don't you hate that old woman the most?"

As if he had found Zhao Ji's doubts, Zhao Xu smiled at Zhao Ji and explained. "For this matter, Brother Wei thinks that he should have a good chat with the Taihuang and the Emperor. How can the country's talent be scattered among the people? Zhao Ting is really too much as a minister of the court."
