Emperor Zhenzong was very happy to hear that there were such strange talents in the country. He personally called prodigies to test their talents.
On talent, Cai Bo is equal to Yan Shu; When it comes to morality, it's quite different. Cai Bo is determined to overwhelm Yan Shu. As soon as he saw that the examination questions were easy, he wrote happily at once. And Yan Shu saw that this test was exactly what he did at home ten days ago, so he honestly told the emperor and asked for a more difficult question. In this way, Cai Bo handed in the first paper. He secretly laughed at Yan Shu as a little fool.
Zhenzong was very satisfied with Yan Shu and Cai Bo's papers, so he made an exception and gave them official positions to stay in the court and study with the Crown Prince. The crown prince is also very young, playful and unwilling to study. Yan Shu always persuades him earnestly, which annoys the Crown Prince. And Cai Bo learned to cater to and please the Crown Prince at an early age. The threshold of the palace is too high for the Crown Prince to pass, so Cai Bo lies on the ground and cushions him with his back.
On one occasion, Emperor Zhenzong wanted to check the studies of the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince can't write an article, so let Yan Shu write one for him. Yan Shu thinks this is fraud, and neither high nor low is allowed. However, Cai Bo obsequiously wrote an article and sent it to the Crown Prince to copy word for word. Zhenzong found that the article was not like the crown prince's. Yan Shu told him the truth when he asked. Now he has offended the crown prince even more. He pointed to Yan Shu's nose and cursed: "I will be emperor in the future and kill your head!" " Yan Shu replied without fear: "Even if I kill my head, I won't tell lies or do anything false."
Then the crown prince grew up. After the death of Zhenzong, he succeeded to the throne and became Emperor Renzong. Cai Bo thought he had a good relationship with Emperor Injong. Now he must be a big official. But Emperor Renzong appointed Yan Shu as prime minister. Cai Bo defy spirit, ask emperor injong. Renzong said: "I was young and ignorant at that time, but now I know how to identify real talents." Yes, you and Yan Shu are both very talented, but you are dishonest, dishonest and disturbing. The prime minister is responsible for the country and should be held by a person with both ability and political integrity like Yan Shu. "
