Gui Yihu knelt on the ground and retorted without fear: "Your Majesty, the exam doesn't mean anything. In the court, most of them are from families, and most of them are from families in Chengyun Hall, doesn't this mean that the exam can't test a person's true talent?"

"It's ridiculous!" the Emperor of Destiny slapped the table angrily. "The test questions I gave them were only based on the level of merit they reported. Can't go through four books, history can't be more than the emperors of the past dynasties, and the law can't be more than twenty dragon patterns, why can't they answer?"

"Your Majesty, the children of the family can enter the school without taking the exam, this is a law passed down from the great grandfather! The ancients had clouds, taught because of the people, did not work, governed by the law, and practiced and settled. With all due respect, it is really unwise for Your Majesty to forcibly change it into the law today!"

Ouyang Xuan was taken aback, he didn't expect Gui Yihu to dare to defy the Heavenly Mandate Emperor like this. In the ear room, Hu Dan wandered out of the world, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was furious, Gui Yihu knelt there motionless, and the atmosphere was really tense. Ouyang thought about it, but finally stood there safely to protect himself, regardless of Gui Yihu's life or death.

Emperor Tianming didn't expect his words to make Gui Yihu so excited, he sat back in his chair, looked Gui Yihu up and down, and suddenly laughed: "Gui Yushi is also loyal to the country, I am reckless." Get up, and call all those sons of the family in, and I want to meet them and see the demeanor of these sons of the family!"

"Minister...... Compliance. Gui Yihu breathed a long sigh of relief and slowly retreated outside the curtain in an orderly manner.

Guo Jiao came to the main room, he was holding a copy scroll in his hand, showing an anxious look.

"Lord Taichang, come and take a look at this. Guo Jiao walked in front of Tang Wanyuan and handed him the copy test paper.

Tang Wanyuan squinted his eyes and carefully examined the copy volume, his expression changed from calm to surprised, then to doubt, and finally asked cautiously: "This volume has not been seen by Gui Yushi." ”

Guo Jiao said: "Not yet, I'm careful." ”

"I'll take this copy paper to the ear room, you go back to the examination room, don't let that candidate have an accident. ”

"Understood. Guo Jiao's tone was firm, and he hurried back to the examination room.

When the rest of the sacrificial wine in the main room saw this scene, they were all a little puzzled, and someone asked, "Lord Taichang, what's wrong with Guo sacrificial wine?"

Tang Wanyuan took the copy scroll and said happily: "Our Chengyun Pavilion may be about to usher in Wenqu Xing." With that, he walked out with an old but determined step.

In the ear room, Dugu Xin and other children of the family stood respectfully outside the curtain, waiting for the emperor's question.

Hu Dan stood majestically in front of the curtain, just one step away from the Emperor of Heavenly Mandate in the curtain. Emperor Mandate of Heaven really didn't want to meet with these families, so he made Hu Dan his mouthpiece.

"Prime Minister, I will say a word, and you will pass on a word, so that they will know. ”

"Obey. Hu Dan replied.

"Who is Dugu Xin?" asked the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny as he picked up a test paper.

"Dugu letter, there is a purpose, out of the ranks. Hu Dan said to the family outside.

Dugu Xin cautiously walked out of the team and came to the curtain: "Minister Dugu Xin, see Your Majesty." ”

After waiting for a long time, Hu Dan asked again: "Dugu Xin, Your Majesty has asked, the thousands of dragon patterns you wrote are very mysterious, but at the same time, there is an idealistic Heng who conflicts with it, why do you arrange the magic circle like this?"

"Uh......" Dugu Xin thought that the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny would ask some questions about the inheritance of family teachers and the merits and resumes, but he didn't expect to point to the core of the magic circle as soon as they met, which made him a little overwhelmed.

Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, Hu Dan asked, "What's the matter?"

My magic circle doesn't work at all, how do you tell me to answer?" Dugu sneered.

"Your Majesty, there are two spells of thousands of five out and idealistic Heng, one is the spell of calling the gods, and the other is the spell of joyful gods, so the minister will connect the two spells together to ask for the blessing of the gods. Duguxin said confidently.

"What the hell? "Tell him to bring out his dragon pattern. ”

At this time, Tang Wanyuan came to the ear room and whispered a few words to Hu Dan. After hearing this, Hu Dan pondered for a moment and said, "Dugu Xin, Your Majesty asked you to realize the dragon pattern you wrote. Turning his head, he entered the curtain with Tang Wanyuan.

Emperor Mandate of Heaven sat on the chair with a sad face, and when he saw Tang Wanyuan coming in, he sighed softly.

Tang Wanyuan was just about to kneel down and salute, but he was helped up by the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny himself: "Tang Taichang, I'm afraid you didn't come here to greet him." ”

Tang Wanyuan is seventy-five this year, and he is old, and he smiles kindly, which is very likable: "The old minister is here to congratulate Your Majesty, and I am happy to win Wenqu Xing." "With that, hand over the copy scroll in your hand to the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny.

"Which Wenqu Xing, those bits out there?" said the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny angrily. He looked at the copy volume cursoryly, and his originally bitter face suddenly became happy.

The answers on this copy are really surprising, and the clarity of the ideas, the rigor of the planning, and the simplicity of the layout require at least seven or eight years of experience to do so. If you can have such attainments in the dragon pattern, your strength will not be lower than that of the middle level of the earth calamity.

But the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny only smiled slightly, which made Tang Wanyuan feel puzzled, could it be that this little emperor did not hesitate to talent?

"Prime Minister, look at it, he really didn't disappoint me. The Emperor of Heavenly Mandate handed the copy scroll to Hu Dan and sat back in his chair with a smile on his face. Hu Dan respectfully took the copy volume, glanced at it roughly, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, do you know this candidate?" asked Tang Wanyuan.

"Tang Taichang, you brought this candidate here and asked him to come to see me. The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny said.

Tang Wanyuan withdrew from the curtain with doubts.

Facing the onlookers of four people, Shi Yuanji was quite embarrassed.

After Guo Jiao left, the remaining four examiners didn't leave his small house. looked at Shi Yuanji's test papers one by one, and looked at him from time to time like watching rare animals, which made Shi Yuanji embarrassed and nervous.

What the hell is going on, Shi Yuanji sat there, cramped and uneasy, and he didn't even know where to put his hands. "Could it be that I have committed a crime? Or Gui Yihu is embarrassing me? But these examiners are all around me, what is the matter? ”

While he was thinking nonsense, Guo Jiao returned, followed by a Royal Forest Army. Guo Jiao pointed in Shi Yuanji's direction, and the Imperial Forest Army walked straight over and said to Shi Yuanji, "You, come with me." ”

The surrounding candidates couldn't sit still, and they all looked at this place. Seeing this, the examiners shouted: "What do you see, sit there for the exam!"

"This military master, can I ask the reason for looking for me?" Although he had already expected that Qi Xunwen would move, Shi Yuanji couldn't help but ask tentatively.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, Your Majesty is looking for you, get up and go with me. The Imperial Forest Army was quite impatient and directly pulled Shi Yuanji out.

In this way, accompanied by Guo Jiao, Shi Yuanji staggered to the ear room like a duck by the Imperial Forest Army. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a room full of family members, and Dugu Xin, who was sweating profusely in the hard work.

Guo Jiao whispered a few words to Tang Wanyuan, and Tang Wanyuan smiled and said to Shi Yuanji: "You are Shi Yuanji? After a while, you have to behave well, and let Your Majesty see your ability, and I will guarantee that you will be admitted to the upper house. ”

Shi Yuanji bowed slightly to show his gratitude, but he was disgusted with this kind old man in his heart. If he shows his prestige in front of the emperor, will he still need his guarantee? If the emperor is disappointed, will his guarantee still be honored? This old man took advantage of this time to sell favors, no matter what, he made money, and he really became a good man.

The water in the imperial capital is really deep, Shi Yuanji sighed.
