: Eunuch Qin, could it be you who told the secret? (Additional update)

Zhu Yunwen stared blankly at the jumping frog on the table, feeling his mind go blank.

What the hell is this? There is no such question in the question bank given by the concubine!

The other princes and grandsons also looked confused, thinking, What's there to write about a frog?

Only Prince Yiqian, who often caught toads with Zhu Zhi, knew frogs very well and felt that he could write many poems.

"Let's start!"

As soon as Lao Zhu finished speaking, Huang Zicheng immediately lit a stick of incense. It took exactly a quarter of an hour for the incense to burn out.

Although a quarter of an hour is a bit short, writing poetry relies on quick wit and spirituality. Without that spirituality, even if you give it an hour, you still won't be able to write a decent poem.

Zhu Yunxi immediately thought of Xin Taizu's poem, and copied it on the paper with a proud face, feeling that he would definitely win the first place today.

But after reading it a few times, he suddenly realized something was wrong. This poem was too imperial. If he handed the poem over, would he be beaten to death by Lao Zhu?

To be on the safe side, let’s change it to one that’s less conspicuous.

Zhu Yunxi rolled the poems he had written into a ball, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he secretly threw it into the wastebasket, and then wrote a random poem to fool him.

While everyone was writing poems, Lao Zhu reviewed another memorial and wrote down his own opinions on how to deal with it. When he saw that the incense sticks were burned out, he immediately ordered someone to go down and collect the papers.

Not long after, Huang Zicheng handed dozens of test papers to Lao Zhu, who read them one by one.

Lao Zhu just read a few articles at random and knew that his family, Lao Zhu, had no seeds of reading.

What kind of nonsense are they written by each and every one of them? To call them limericks would be an exaggeration.

Lao Zhu immediately speeded up and picked out Da Sun's first among all the test papers.

"One, two, three or four, five, six, seven or eight."

When Lao Zhu saw this, his brows had already furrowed, and he even regretted that he had arrived in a hurry and had forgotten to bring his whip.

However, when he read the last two sentences, his brows gradually relaxed and a smile finally appeared on his face.

"Ten of them, hundreds of them, tens of thousands of them, jump into the duckweed and disappear!"

"This poem..."

Lao Zhu hurriedly handed Zhu Yunxi's poem to Zhao Mian next to him as if he was offering a treasure. He dragged Lao Guan Zhao over so that he could be the referee.

"Zhao Mian, what do you think of this poem?"

Zhao Mian took it over and took a look. He also frowned when he saw the first two sentences. But when he saw the last two sentences, he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment and a turn of events.

"This poem is also unique and exquisite, which is enough to show that His Highness King Wu is quick in thinking and witty."

Lao Zhu laughed proudly after hearing this, and then carefully put Da Sun's poem aside.

Although this grandson was a bit tricky, fortunately, the last sentence was reversed, otherwise he would have been whipped a hundred times today!

Seeing Lao Zhu laughing heartily, Zhu Yunxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He finally got over it.

After reading Da Sun's poems, Lao Zhu felt a little perfunctory when reading other people's poems. However, when he saw Zhu Yunwen's poems, he still said "Eh" in surprise.

"This poem..."

"Zhao Mian, how about you come over and take a look at this song?"

Zhao Mian took the poem and glanced at it quickly and said quickly.

"What a poem!"

"Your Majesty, this poem is very good!"

"Not only does it reflect the talents of His Highness the Second Emperor, but it also reflects his concern for the country and the people!"

After hearing this, Huang Zicheng couldn't help but crane his neck and look over.

He knew that Zhu Yunwen was cheating, and he also knew that "Ode to the Frog" was not among the poem titles he provided.

Therefore, as a teacher, he was not at all sure whether Zhu Yunwen could write a poem about frogs well.

However, when he saw Zhu Yunwen's poems, he secretly became convinced.

"There is little leisure in the fields, and the days and nights are endless."

"If you plant three to five ridges, you will harvest one or two stones in autumn."

"If there were no Lady in Green, the insect food would be half as low."

"Thanks to this minister, the country is peaceful and the people are safe."

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Second Emperor is able to compose such poems at such a young age. It is indeed very rare and commendable!"

"Especially the concern for farmers shown in the poem, isn't it the people-oriented, benevolent and righteous approach that His Majesty strives for?"

When Lao Zhu heard the compliments of the two people, he glanced at Zhu Yunwen twice, which made Zhu Yunwen's face flush with excitement.

Although Lao Zhu was unwilling to admit it in his heart, when the two poems were put together, it was obvious that Zhu Yunwen's poem was superior.

Literary talent comes second, and the most rare thing is the idea of ​​this poem. It is indeed a rare masterpiece.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the jade Ruyi he had carefully prepared, and sighed secretly in his heart. If there were no accidents, he could only reward Zhu Yunwen with the Ruyi jade today.

Lao Zhu put Zhu Yunwen's poems together with Da Sun's, and then looked at other people's poems. With these two poems as a basis, when he looked at other people's poems, he just felt vulgar. Until he saw Zhu Zhi's

When I was writing poems, the expression on my face started to fluctuate again.

"Zhu Zhi!"

"My son is here!"

"Come here, drag this traitor out and beat him twenty times!"

When Zhu Zhi heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he asked unwillingly.

"Father, why are you punishing me? Is there anything wrong with my son's poems?"

Lao Zhu slammed Zhu Zhi's poems on the table, stared at his two dragon eyes and said angrily.

"Read it yourself and show it to everyone!"

Zhu Zhi said unconvinced.

"Just remember it!"

"He is dressed in green skin and has round eyes."

"The puffy cheeks are so cute, ten can only make up one dish."

After Zhu Zhi finished reading his poem, everyone in the main hall immediately laughed. Even Zhao Mian and Huang Zicheng laughed uncontrollably.

Lao Zhu became even more angry when he heard the harsh laughter, pointed at Zhu Zhi and cursed.

"We look at you like a dish!"

"Let's make you a plate of fried pork with bamboo shoots today!"

"Drag it down!"

"Hit us hard!"

The Jin Yiwei standing at the door heard the word "harsh" and secretly thought that His Majesty's anger had escalated again.

But they didn't know that half of Lao Zhu's anger came from Zhu Yunxi. He had always had high hopes for Zhu Yunxi, but he was outshone by Zhu Yunxi, whom he didn't like. Lao Zhu was always angry.

It happened that Zhu Zhi, the rebellious son, was close to Zhu Yunxi, so he took out his anger on him first.

Zhu Zhi was dragged down to hit the board amidst the screams. Not long after, there was another sound of ghosts crying and howling outside the main hall.

Lao Zhu waited until the boards outside were finished and then went out to take a look at them one by one.

Seeing that Zhu Gui and Zhu Zhi's buttocks were swollen, Lao Gao nodded with satisfaction and signaled to Jin Yiwei that they could carry him away for treatment.

"Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi are tied for the top spot!"

Zhao Mian, the Minister of Rites, hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, where is Huang Yu Ruyi?"

"Please reward Zhu Yunzhen!"

After saying these words, Lao Zhu left the main hall angrily.

When all the princes and grandsons in the main hall heard this, they all showed envy and jealousy.

Only Zhu Yunxi had a calm expression and was not affected at all.

For him, he is already very happy if he can get a tie for first place and keep his right to live outside the palace.

As for that broken Ruyi, he really doesn't care about it!

After Lao Zhu announced the results of the monthly exam, it also meant that it was finally time for the main hall to finish school.

The prince's sons came out of the palace together in twos and threes. Because Zhu Zhi was carried to the Taiyuan Hospital for treatment, the frog-catching gang was disbanded, and the sound of frogs in the moat became loud again.

Zhu Yunwen happily returned to the Crown Prince's Mansion with Huang Yu Ruyi and other rewards in his arms, causing the Crown Princess to praise him.

After learning that this first place was obtained by Zhu Yunwen due to his true ability, Mrs. Lu was even more happy.
