At the same time.
Eunuch Liu took Xiao Rui's draft paper and presented it to Li Shimin.
Li Shiming was also curious. He opened the paper and saw that it was blank. There were only four lines of poetry written on it!
Li Shi Min couldn't help but say,"Good poem!"
Xiao Yu's eyes were a little red. Obviously, he didn't know how Xiao Rui could write such good calligraphy and win the first place in the boy examination.
Li Shi Min's words attracted everyone's attention.
Zhangsun Wuji was sitting there. He had always loved poetry and had spent a lot of money on it. Li Shimin had always had a high appreciation for poetry.
He was also extremely picky about poetry, but now Li Shiming actually praised Xiao Rui personally.
This made Zhangsun Wuji a little curious. He looked at Li Shiming and said,"Your Majesty, Xiao Rui is only eight years old. Even if he is a genius, his experience is limited.”
"What kind of good poem can he write?"
Zhangsun Wuji didn't seem to mind, but his eyes were fixed on Li Shiming's hand.
Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji were both good friends and officials. Seeing him like this, Li Shiming found it funny and said,"Since you don't think so highly of it, then zhen will show it to the other beloved ministers first.”
Eunuch Liu took the poem from Li Shimin and gave it to Du Ruhui.
Zhangsun Wuji's face immediately turned ugly, but the one who teased him was Li Shiming, so he didn't dare to be impudent.
Zhangsun Wuji's curiosity was piqued.
He looked at Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, who were all shocked after reading them. They obviously didn't believe that Xiao Rui could write such a poem.
If it was during normal times, it would be fine. With Zhangsun Wuji's identity, the royal family would give him face.
However, everyone present was a Duke. After understanding Li Shiming's intentions, they used words to provoke Zhangsun Wuji while praising Xiao Ruishi's good writing.
At the same time, he was whetting Zhangsun Wuji's appetite.
Zhangsun Wuji finally couldn't take it anymore. He pointed at Cheng Yaojin and said,""Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others can read it, but can you understand this poem?”
"Give it to me."
Zhangsun Wuji stood up without any scruples and directly snatched Xiao Rui's manuscript from Cheng Yaojin's hands.
Cheng Yaojin didn't mind. He held his stomach and laughed.
Li Shi Min stroked his beard and took a sip of tea. He was obviously very happy.
However, apart from Zhangsun Wuji, Xiao Yu did not see it. This was also intentional.
Xiao Yu's skin was not as thick as Zhangsun Wuji's. He sat there unmoving like a mountain.
Zhangsun Wuji listened to the laughter in his ears and looked at the paper in his hand. His eyes fell on the poem and his expression became serious. He originally thought that Li Shiming and the others were deliberately teasing him.
But now, he knew that Fang Xuanling and the others weren't lying.
Xiao Yu sat there and looked at Zhangsun Wuji's expression. He was a little anxious and couldn't care less. He stood up and walked to Zhangsun Wuji's side.
Xiao Yu looked at the poem and couldn't help but recite,""The filth of the past is not worth praising, but the debauchery of the present is boundless.”
As Xiao Yu read, it was as if he had seen the past. Xiao Rui lingered in the market and played around. Today, he had won the case. The sulking had disappeared like the wind, and there was an indescribable joy in his heart.
In his heart, a huge rock seemed to have quietly landed, and his figure became lighter.
Zhangsun Wuji continued to read,"The spring breeze is proud of the horse's hooves, and I see all the flowers in Chang 'an in one day!"”
"What boldness. An eight-year-old child has such a temperament. This poem can be treasured.”
"It seems that when Xiao Rui handed in his test paper, he already knew that he was the head of the case. How confident is he? Xiao Yu, you have a good son.”
Xiao Yu stood there and took the piece of paper from Zhangsun Wuji's hands, carefully examining each word.
Cui Wen was far away, listening to Xiao Yu and Zhangsun Wuji recite the poem together. An inexplicable chill appeared in his heart. Could it be that Xiao Rui really hid it so deeply?
Cui Wen's heart was in a mess.
But at this moment.
However, Du Weizhi announced in front of more than 300 people that Xiao Rui was the head of the case. Under everyone's astonished gazes, Xiao Rui walked out confidently and followed Du Weizhi to meet Li Shiming.
Cheng Chumo and Fang Yiai were all dumbfounded.
Cui Qingyuan was so shocked by the news that she forgot to wipe her tears.
He swallowed his saliva and said,"The head of the case is Xiao Rui?"”
"He actually didn't get eliminated. Wasn't he last?”
Cheng Chumo stood there and hit Yuchi Baolin with all his might. Yuchi Baolin jumped up all of a sudden. Seeing that her arm was already bruised, she said,"Chumo, why did you hit me?"
Cheng Chumo blinked and said,""Hurts? Then it's not a dream."
"Xiao Rui actually became the head of the case and was able to meet His Majesty, this…"
Cheng Chumo stuttered and didn't know what to say.
Du Weizheng walked with Xiao Rui. He looked at Xiao Rui's temperament and felt that he had become a different person in such a short time. This was a kind of confidence that came from the inside.
Du Weizhi looked at Xiao Rui and couldn't help but say,"Xiao Rui, Cui Wenyan has clearly stated that you cheated in the Junior Examinations. When you meet His Majesty later, you still need to be careful.”
Xiao Rui had a good impression of Du Weizheng. Previously, Du Weizheng had spoken up for him. He nodded and said solemnly,"Thank you, Teacher Du. However, whether I cheated or not, everything will be clear when I meet His Majesty.”
Seeing Xiao Rui's reply, Du Weizhen didn't say anything else.
He brought Xiao Rui all the way to the quiet room.
The door of the quiet room was not closed. Du Weizhi looked at Li Shiming and bowed,"Reporting to Your Majesty, Xiao Rui has been brought here.”
