Chapter 404: Questioning
Seeing that Min Feng's face was not good, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. Then he looked at Gu Chengyu and pointed at Gu Chengyu to answer.
"Back to the emperor, Weichen pondered the "Great Yan Law" for a period of time before. All officers and soldiers who commit crimes, and those who should be punished in vain, shall be given 100 rods and 5 apprentices, and shall be given 2,000 miles of internal guards to serve the army. The third class of the stream, according to the distance in the field, send each guard to fill the army. Those who should be sent to the remote areas shall be sent according to the law, and shall not be stabbed. If a soldier or lieutenant commits a crime, all the soldiers are allowed to make a decision, and they are exempt from stabbing in vain. ”
Gu Chengyu replied very smoothly, there was no pause in the middle, and the emperor was still clear about the punishment of the Criminal Department. What Gu Chengyu said was exactly right, and there was nothing wrong with it.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that you have studied the law a lot, and this is not something that can be done overnight." ”
Min Feng couldn't help frowning when he heard this, the emperor's meaning was already obvious. He said before that Gu Chengyu came to him to discuss the matter of the ceremony, but now he was slapped in the face by his own words.
The emperor meant that Gu Chengyu had been studying these books for a long time, and it was just a preface, so why did he come to him Min Feng?
"Min Editor, then I ask you, how to convict if you don't repair your defense?" The emperor suddenly ordered Min Feng and asked about the work law in the law.
When Min Feng heard this, his heart sank, of course he had read the law. In the previous imperial examination, he devoted himself to the Four Books and Five Classics, and some of his spare time was also spent on poetry, and he only turned over the "Great Yan Law" a few times. Some time ago, he entered the Hanlin Academy, and because he wanted to compile the canon, he picked it up and read it carefully.
But he didn't read this law carefully, because there were too many books, so he naturally didn't have time to read each one carefully. I've only seen it once in a hurry, how can I still remember? Min Feng tried hard to recall, and the fine sweat on his forehead turned into beads of sweat rolling down.
Min Feng came out of the queue for a long time before bowing to the emperor and replied: "Back to the emperor, although Weichen has read the law books before, he has read too many books, and his qualifications are still worse after all, so he forgot about it." ”
He really tried his best to remember, but he didn't have any impression in his head. The more he panicked, the more he couldn't think of it, and his face burned involuntarily.
A few days ago, the teacher also selected some of the most important books for him, including the law, and he said that the other books only need to be roughly read, but the law must be memorized.
It's just that he has just entered the Hanlin Academy, and he has a lot of work during the day, so he can only go back to see it at the party, which will inevitably be delayed. I didn't expect the emperor to test him today, which is really unfavorable. The most troublesome thing is that Gu Chengyu answered, but he couldn't answer, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was lying.
Min Feng could only go back to the emperor hard, saying that he had forgotten. If he asks anything else, he may really be able to answer them all, and there have always been few law-related exam questions in the imperial examination, even if the candidates do not answer them, it will only affect some rankings.
The most important thing in the imperial examination is the theory of strategy, and naturally he will not pay too much attention to the law candidates.
As soon as these words came out, Gu Chengyu felt that the atmosphere in the imperial study suddenly cooled down. The emperor snorted coldly, this Tanhualang is also the same as Xia Qing, but Xia Qing still has some real talent and impeccable talent. This Min Feng didn't see Xia Qing's ability, but he learned Xia Qing's methods out of ten.
"Gu Aiqing, come on." After the emperor snorted coldly, he looked at the three people who were trembling in the imperial study, and nodded Gu Chengyu to answer.
Gu Chengyu took a step forward and replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, according to the "Great Yan Law", anyone who does not repair the river defense and loses time by repairing it will be promoted to 50 lashes each. If anyone destroys a neighbor or loses his property, he will have sixty rods. and whosoever injureth the life of a man shall have eighty rods. ”
Halfway through speaking, his tone paused, and he saw that the emperor's expression was a little more relaxed than that of the general, and then he said: "If you don't repair the polder, and if you don't repair the polder, and if you lose time, you will be punished with thirty lashes." Therefore he who drowns the field shall be flogged fifty. It is not caused by heavy water and rain, damage to the defense, and is not caused by manpower. ”
Gu Chengyu answered confidently, his tone was coherent, and he did it in one go! And the more Gu Chengyu said, the more ugly Min Feng's face became.
The emperor asked two questions in a row, Gu Chengyu answered without any mistakes or omissions, and even Zhang Hai couldn't help nodding secretly, he had long known that Gu Chengyu was very talented, so he naturally appreciated it. It's a pity that he took a wrong step today, and I'm afraid that Gu Chengyu is already dissatisfied with him in his heart.
"Could it be that Gu Aiqing has memorized all the laws?" The emperor was a little surprised, looking at Gu Chengyu's appearance, as if he could answer whatever he asked.
"Emperor Qi, Wei Chen has carefully read most of the books related to the Chinese dictionary before, so he is very impressed by the question you asked. And Weichen also made a more detailed preface, and asked the emperor to look at it. ”
Gu Chengyu took out the booklet from his sleeve and handed it over respectfully.
"Oh? Dean! "In fact, if the emperor still can't understand it until now, he will be a fool.
Gu Chengyu is still the peak of Min Feng, but Min Feng has won all the credits to the top of the peak, is it not because he is Xia Qing's disciple? The emperor glanced back and forth at Min Feng and Gu Chengyu, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.
He wanted to see how Xia Qing had the face to seek an official position after teaching such a disciple.
Dean stepped forward to take the booklet and looked at Gu Chengyu deeply. He also saw that the famous hall was coming, it seemed that Lord Gu and Lord Min were discussing whether it was false, and it was true that Lord Min wanted to take the credit of Lord Gu.
Zhang Hai also knew that the stuffing was exposed at this time, although he was apprehensive in his heart, but when he started to speak, after all, he kept a hand. There will definitely be punishment, but it is impossible to say that you can't take off the black veil hat.
However, this Min Feng is not stupid, he directly said that it was Gu Chengyu's doing. Therefore, although everyone present knew it, no one could hold his handle.
The emperor took the booklet and opened it to see that it was a more detailed preface. The general content of each yamen is briefly described, and even the book from which book is clearly written, and this booklet is much thicker than the previous one.
It can be seen that the book was excerpted from this book. The emperor flipped through it roughly, and the writing was very small, like a note made in a book.
"You can use this booklet as a reference for the officials who compiled it, and it is very detailed. With this, the compilation of the canonical can be carried out more quickly. ”
The emperor was very satisfied with this booklet, those officials of the Hanlin Academy were procrastinating, and at their previous speed, they would definitely not be able to complete it in less than half a year. The canonical records are no more compiling than the actual records, and the speed of compilation is much faster than the actual records. But those people are used to procrastination, and they always have to beat and beat to speed up.
Now with this booklet, it saves those officials a lot of trouble, and it is always much faster to look for them in books purposefully than before.
