Facing the sudden question, Chen Hao was a little confused for a moment. He didn't know the sharpness of this question. If he couldn't answer it well, he would lose his head.

Chen Hao turned back and looked at Li Bao, wondering in his mind whether he had ever offended this gentleman and deliberately made himself look bad.

Bai Minzhong, the first civil servant, was a little worried at this moment. He didn't know the intention of Li Bao's words. So he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Chen Hao is the son of an old friend of Wei minister. He is young and ignorant. Although he occasionally has expertise, how can he be as good as the emperor's calligraphy?"

just in case……"

"Hey, Mr. Bai is being too modest. Even Mr. Liu said that Chen Hao's calligraphy is excellent, and you and I have witnessed it. Why do you have to hide your weakness for Chen Hao!?" Li Bao narrowed his eyes and smiled with interest.

Emperor Li Chen did not expect that his curiosity would lead to a difficult problem for Chen Hao. But Li Chen thought about it again and smiled slightly.

"Master Li, you...the emperor..."

Bai Minzhong still wanted to persuade, but Emperor Li Chen interrupted: "Both dears, please stop arguing. The parties involved have not spoken. Let's listen to Chen Hao's answer before we speak!"

When the emperor said this, Li Bao was very happy. Li Bao thought to himself, Chen Hao, no matter what you say this time, I will sue you in front of the emperor. At the same time, I will avenge my nephew for missing the flower!

But Bai Minzhong's heart sank, and his face suddenly became a little disappointed. Then he closed his eyes and could only wait for Chen Hao to finish speaking so that he could plead with the emperor.

At this moment, Chen Hao was gradually sweating on his forehead, and his mind was spinning. He knew deeply that if he said that his calligraphy skills were better, it would not be conducive to maintaining the emperor's face, and he would not necessarily be angry.

If you take your own life, you will be gone.

Chen Hao used Mi Fu's calligraphy. After more than ten years of practice, Chen Hao had mastered the essence of Mi Fu's calligraphy. Although Emperor Li Chen's calligraphy was almost as good as Liu Gong's, compared with Chen Hao's calligraphy, it was indeed a bit

gap.

If you flatter your conscience and say that your calligraphy is not as good as the emperor at this moment, then the gentleman in front of you will say that you intentionally deceive the emperor. Then you will commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, and you will also have a bad end.

If we don't talk about attainments and only talk about the style of calligraphy, it will undoubtedly be compared with Liu Gongquan's regular script, which will not only offend the emperor, but also offend Liu Gongquan.

Thinking of this, Chen Hao couldn't help but feel a headache. All the ministers looked at Chen Hao in the palace with sympathy. They all felt that Li Bao, as an elder and a minister, could not get along with a child. It was really unreasonable, especially in the court.

The generals looked angrily at Li Bao and his party. Although they did not understand poetry, they could understand the heroic spirit of serving the country in Chen Hao's poems.

After a while, Chen Hao suddenly had an idea in his mind, and then a slight smile appeared on his lips. He said respectfully: "The calligraphy of ordinary people is better than this!"

hiss!

Although the ministers had already guessed the answer, they were still a little surprised and regretful when Chen Hao said it.

"Chen Hao is such a bold man, he dares to claim to be number one in front of the emperor. Did you know that Mr. Liu dare not say such arrogant words. I pray that the emperor will expel this ignorant and wild man from the palace! To set an example to others!"

Before Emperor Li Chen could speak, Li Bao, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward to speak.

However, Emperor Li Chen did not speak, and said noncommittally: "That makes sense! That makes sense!" But he felt inexplicably disappointed.

"Please have mercy, Your Majesty..." Bai Minzhong knelt down and begged sincerely.

Chen Hao is a talented person. From Wang Baichuan's letter, Bai Minzhong not only got to know the political experts and people in Taihe County, but also had a preliminary understanding of Chen Hao's talents and abilities. No matter what he said, he had to try his best to protect the people recommended by his beloved disciples.

"Chen Hao... do you think so?" Li Chen ignored Bai Minzhong and Li Bao's words, but looked at Chen Hao hopefully.

Chen Hao calmly came to Li Bao and said loudly: "Master Li, you have such great official authority. The emperor has not yet spoken, but you are the first to do so. Is this considered to be judging the holy words?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

"Oh? Mr. Li is angry? Before the Cao Min has finished speaking, you, an old guy, came out to stop the Cao Min from speaking. Does this count as deceiving the Holy Listener?"

"You! The emperor's veteran has been wronged!" Li Bao was a little flustered at the moment. It wasn't that he was not mentally weak, but mainly because he couldn't afford the crime Chen Hao said!

"Unjustly accused? Do you have any grievances against me? No, then what you are doing is a domination of one minister, disregard of the world, disobedience, and suspicion that you have the power to influence the government and the public!" Chen Hao was completely angry at this moment.

Being plotted for no reason, the anger in my heart has been accumulated for a long time. Isn't it a crime? I have many of you!

Chen Hao's few words caused quite a shock in the court. Everyone did not expect that Chen Hao would slap him down, and Li Bao was speechless with his heart-wrenching words.

"Chen Hao, don't just talk nonsense. It's true that you are guilty! As for my fault, it will be decided by the Emperor!" Li Bao's eyes were burning and he pointed at Chen Hao with an angry face.

How could Chen Hao let Li Bao go at this moment? Then he turned to the emperor and saluted: "Your Majesty, if the common people can give you a reason not to punish the common people, can you give the common people a status to prevent villains from secretly committing murders in the future!

"

What a powerful mouth! Such sharp words. Not only did he criticize Li Bao's army, but he also secretly mocked him as a villain. All the ministers had to admire Chen Hao in front of them. He was really eloquent.

Bai Minzhong raised the corners of his eyes slightly and couldn't help but feel happy. Seeing that Chen Hao could say this, he would definitely be able to solve this dilemma.

"If this is the case, I will give you a Jinshi background, and I decree that if you have any mistakes in the future, only Li Bao and Li Aiqing will ask!" Li Chen was intrigued by Chen Hao's counterattack, and he wanted to take a look.

How should Chen Hao respond next?

"emperor……"

"Li Aiqing doesn't need to say anything. Chen Hao, just tell me slowly. If you can't tell me that you are ugly, you will be punished by an extra degree!"

Chen Hao slowly stepped forward and bowed and said: "Caomin's calligraphy is the best among the people, Master Liu's calligraphy is the best among ministers, and the emperor's calligraphy can be said to be the king among the emperors!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere immediately became lively. Li Chen couldn't help but burst into applause. The ministers also secretly admired Chen Hao's clever answers.

Bang bang bang!

"What a wise man to be the king among the emperors!" Li Chen clapped his hands lightly and laughed.

But at this moment, Li Bao's face was ashen. He thought it was a dead end, but he didn't expect Chen Hao to come out of the siege just like that. It was true that he was really stealing the chicken but losing the rice. Chen Hao's safety would be closely related to him in the future.

"I will fulfill my previous promise and give you the rank of Jinshi, for the purpose of watching the marquis! I will also give you the Golden Dragon and Jade Tablet, so you can come to the palace to study calligraphy with me at any time!" Li Chen said, taking a piece of jade from the jade belt around his waist.

Ask the little eunuch to pass the card to Chen Hao.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Hao was overjoyed in his heart and thought, he has prospered this time. With the Emperor as his great backer, will he still have to worry about it in the future? But on the surface, he was as calm as before and remained as respectful as ever.

At this moment, there were hurried footsteps outside the palace door. Before they could reach the palace door, they shouted: "Urgent report from Hexi!" As soon as he finished speaking, a man ran in from outside the palace door, his face covered with dust. He quickly walked to the front of the palace and knelt on his knees.

Kneeling on the ground, he said: "There is an urgent report from 800 miles away. Shazhou Zhang Yichao secretly united with the powerful forces to drive out the Tibetan garrison. Shazhou has been liberated. We will send envoys to the capital to win!"

"Okay, hurry up and present the memorial!" Li Chen suddenly stood up and was overjoyed. His mood at this moment could be described as a mixture of emotions. Since he came to the throne, he has always made it his ambition to recover Hehuang. Now, the situation has already begun before any troops are used. How can we not be excited about the situation?

.

Looking at the memorial presented, he kept murmuring: "...the people were throwing armor and making noise at the gate of the state, and the Han people all helped, and the defenders were frightened away, so they took pictures of the state affairs...". Finally, he sighed: "The loyalty of the loyal ministers.

, broke off Kun Yi’s long horn. Zhang Aiqing is truly a loyal minister!”

Li Chen calmed down his excitement and said to the visitor: "I am very pleased that Zhang Aiqing can regard the dignity of the Tang Dynasty as the most important thing. I ordered the envoy to express my condolences and promote Yichao as the defense envoy of Shazhou. I would like to give this book to Zhang Aiqing.

He lived up to expectations!”

Chen Hao on the side felt various emotions in his heart when he saw that his work was actually given to Zhang Yichao, the future famous general of the Tang Dynasty. It seemed that he had to work hard, otherwise he would miss the opportunity.

Next, after Chen Hao retired from the court, he followed Bai Minzhong back to the mansion. Naturally, everyone in the Bai mansion was overjoyed, and Bai Minzhong happily had a long talk with Chen Hao.

This conversation not only gave Bai Minzhong a systematic understanding of Chen Hao's abilities, but also allowed Chen Hao to understand some of the ways of being an official in the officialdom and the interests of various parties. This laid a solid foundation for Chen Hao to enter the court in the future.

A good foundation.

However, something big happened, which once again added fuel to the flames to the already popular Chen Hao. As a result, the name Chen Hao became a household name in Beijing. Faced with the sudden problem, Chen Hao was a little confused for a moment. He

Who knows how acute this question is, and if you don’t answer it well, you’ll lose your head.

Chen Hao turned back and looked at Li Bao, wondering in his mind whether he had ever offended this gentleman and deliberately made himself look bad.

Bai Minzhong, the first civil servant, was a little worried at this moment. He didn't know the intention of Li Bao's words.
