Walking out of the ** study, Shi Yuanji took out the wooden card and looked at the class schedule, and then looked at the bookshelves around him, he couldn't hold back his curiosity anymore, and was ready to take a good stroll in the Shouzang Pavilion.

He specially ran to the law library area on the fourth floor, and was amazed by the vastness of the classics in the Chengyun Library. The dragon pattern atlases written by the masters of the past dynasties, all kinds of spell books, research and hypotheses on the nature of mana, and all kinds of books are full of sweat and cows, filling the vast storage pavilion.

But he didn't stay long, and now he has to continue to read the books left by the master, which he can read later.

"Princess, this is the Riffa book you're looking for. ”

"Thank you. ”

Just as he was about to leave the Guardian Pavilion, a familiar voice reached his ears. He followed the prestige, and a long-lost figure appeared in his field of vision.

Several goblins, dressed in the green sembles of a student, respectfully surrounded a banshee. Among them, there was no shortage of tall and strong masters, who seemed to be protecting the banshee. The banshee was petite, gentle and polite, but there was a sharpness in her eyes that did not match her age, and it was Princess Nayu.

Looking at Nayu's confident expression, Shi Yuanji sighed in his heart: "Jiren has her own natural appearance, I wish her good luck." ”

He quietly left the Guardian Pavilion.

Nayu looked through the books that several goblins had found her, but she was always absent-minded. She felt a familiar gaze looking at her, and when she raised her head, she saw Shi Yuanji quietly leaving, and a strong sense of loss arose.

"Brother Yuanji. An exclamation almost blurted out, alarming the goblin guards around him.

"What's wrong, princess?" asked one of the guards worriedly, looking around warily.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Nayu pretended to comb her hair to hide her panic.

......

Gui Yihu's heart was in turmoil.

Today, just after choosing the subjects, the children of the Eight Pillars Kingdom came to visit him together. According to the previous rules, the examiner was their mentor, so there was a reason to visit, which was to thank Gui Yihu for his vast kindness.

Gui Yihu was full of gifts sent by Duguxin and others, genius treasures, beautiful jade, gold and silver, everything.

His heart was even more troubled.

The Eight Pillars were the only allies he could make in the court now, but that didn't mean Gui Yihu had to trust them. In fact, up to now, Dugu Xin and the others have not succeeded enough to fail, and Gui Yihu will never allow them to be instructed in the process of forming an alliance.

The sons of the family in the customer hall of Dugu Xinhuan had a confident smile on their faces. He bowed slightly to Gui Yihu and said proudly: "The student is reckless, I will visit the teacher after the subject selection is over today, and ask the teacher to forgive me." These gifts are carefully selected by the students, and they are expected to be accepted by the teacher. ”

Dugu Xin said good things on his lips, but he always had an arrogant look on his face, which made Gui Yihu feel extremely bored. But the situation is stronger than people, so he had to pretend to be smiling: "It's easy to talk and talk, sit down." ”

Gui Yihu asked his subordinates to prepare the banquet, and said with a smile: "You came suddenly, although the old man's mansion has a shallow foundation, he still has to get a few tables of side dishes." Later, let's not get drunk and not go home. ”

Yuwentai couldn't bear it, and asked: "May I ask Gui Yushi, Your Majesty was angry in the ear room at the beginning, saying that he wanted us to go to the exam like those mud legs, is it true?"

As soon as the words fell, these visiting families took off their kind disguises and began to quarrel.

"Your Majesty, what does this mean, the family does not take the exam, this is the rule of the ancestors, does he want to change it?"

"Where is the face of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, and where is the system of the imperial court?"

"Gui Yushi, you gave a letter, is this true?"

The sons of the family asked Gui Yihu aggressively, and the spacious living room was suddenly full of people, which made Gui Yihu think that the living room had become narrow for a moment. The noise made him feel extremely depressed, as if he had been pressed into a cage that was about to boil.

"Shut up for me!" Dugu Xin roared, frightening everyone's questioning, he stood up and said with a smile. "Gui Yushi, they are reckless, you don't have to be surprised. But now that the situation is like this, neither you nor we have any choice. ”

"You bluntly said that you contradicted the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny a few days ago, I'm afraid it wasn't because you were dizzy for a while. The Eight Pillars Nation has deep roots and many connections in the court, and the Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven is just a child who has been on the throne for less than five years, what roots do you have to fight with us?"

"Most of the members of the royal family are outgoing, and they don't have a climate at all. Princess Evian is a bit popular, but she is a woman after all, and she has no power to deter others. Emperor Yuanjia had a younger brother, whose fief was in Hedong, but he was punished by the first emperor before his death, and his strength was greatly reduced, so who was the opponent of the Eight Pillars Kingdom?"

"I think you know very well that you don't have any allies in the DPRK and China anymore. Hu Dan has fallen out with you, Ouyang Xuan sees the wind and rudder, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty's vassal kings, envoys, and soldiers will stand with you. ”

"Now, the little emperor has finally exposed his ambitions. He dared to touch the interests of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, and he started with the entrance exam of Chengyun Pavilion. Under the tide of the forces of all parties, only our Eight Pillars National Clan is an ally who can be in the same boat with your Gui Yushi. ”

After Duguxin finished speaking, he stood up and smiled confidently. This statement was obtained by him after careful consideration, and he believed that after listening to it, Gui Yihu would definitely fall to the Eight Pillars Kingdom. When the two sides join forces, overthrow Hu Dan and hold the emperor hostage, and Gui Yihu will become the agent of the Eight Pillars Kingdom in the Dayu court.

Gui Yihu no longer pretended to be kind, but put on an evil smile, revealing his yin nature. At this moment, a cold aura emanated from Gui Yihu's body and spread throughout the living room, leaving the family silent.

Facing Gui Yihu's sneer, Dugu Xin couldn't help but shudder. He wondered in his heart, was he afraid? "Gui Yushi, what are you laughing at? Am I not right?"

"Of course you're right. Gui Yihu stood up and slowly walked towards Dugu Xin, and Dugu Xin kept retreating like a mouse seeing a cat.

"Do you know, just now, I finally knew the reason why Ouyang Xuan didn't woo you families, but instead moved closer to Princess Evian. Gui Yihu said every word clearly, as if he was afraid that Duguxin would not understand. "You guys are so superficial, you can't even compare to Ding Yun's hair. ”

"What is the occasion now? Are those words going to be said in this way? You Eight Pillars Kingdom occupies the most fertile land in Hanoi, the land of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and you are raising these wastes?"

"Gui Yushi, you have gone too far. Duguxin said through gritted teeth. Things exceeded his expectations, and he always felt that Gui Yihu was no longer out of his control.

"Are you threatening the old man, boy?" the sneer on Gui Yihu's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a gloomy expression. "I confronted Your Majesty that day because I meant to win over you Eight Pillars as an ally, but there is another important reason, that is, I have a way out. The old man didn't do it, so he just went back to his hometown to farm. ”

"You have to be clear, Your Majesty wants to move you, not the old man. And you, in the anger of Your Majesty, are going to ruin your family! Boy, you must know that in the imperial capital, you must listen to the old man, and if you dare to threaten me again, then nothing will happen today. It's a big deal for me to be like Ouyang Xuan, and I fell to the side of the eldest princess of Evian, why bother to be buried with you?"

How could these sons of the family not realize the seriousness of the problem? Dugu Xin was silent with cold sweat on his head, and for the first time he felt a sense of powerlessness in the face of fate.

"Do you all understand? That day, Ouyang Xun told you to prepare well, but your majesty was stumped with a piece of paper, is it a shame?" Gui Yihu came to the crowd, looked at the greasy faces of those family members, and said heavily. "What excuse will Your Majesty use to trouble you in the future? ”

"Forget it, I'll tell you. Your Eight Pillars Kingdom is nothing more than that you don't need exams when you enter the court, and you will be assigned grades according to Yu Yin when you enter the court, even if you don't learn and don't know how to do it, you can become a member of the five grades. These privileges are things that His Majesty wants to move. Of course, considering that the treasury has been empty in recent years, it is not known that His Majesty may move the territory of Hanoi. ”

Since the day of the entrance exam, he was made so difficult by the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny that he was sweating profusely, and Dugu Xin had the problem of breaking out in a cold sweat when he was nervous. Now his throat is dry and he is in a cold sweat, because under Gui Yihu's guidance, he sees a terrible future.

"You must not let that little emperor do whatever he wants!" he said in his heart.
