This sound was like a tube of thunder, which instantly attracted the attention of the courtiers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that the person who spoke was an old official, named Xun Ran, who had stayed in the Hanlin Courtyard all his life, and was extremely conservative on weekdays, and had always believed in the way of Confucius and Mencius, and paid attention to the rules of the court.

When many people saw him, they knew it in an instant!

It turned out to be an old stubborn!

It's normal.

But the princelings don't think it's normal!

Emperor Hui Chong recommended Zhou Mao, what is his intention, many people have a bottom in their hearts.

It's clearly towards the prince, secretly helping the prince!

But at this time, you are an old stubborn and came out, isn't this deliberately demolishing the stage and deliberately getting along with the prince?

It's okay if it's someone else!

But as the saying goes, the one who knows oneself best is often one's own enemy.

As soon as they saw Xun Ran, the princelings immediately realized that it was Gao Zhuo who was making trouble behind his back.

This Xun Ran is not only old-fashioned, but also has the same relationship with Gao Zhuo, and the two have a good relationship in private, so it is no wonder that Xun Ran will openly stand up and disagree with Emperor Hui Chong when everyone agrees with him.

The princelings thought well, Gao Zhuo did have this plan, and Xun Ran also stood up under his instructions.

He promised Zhou Liangfu that he would help the Zhou family recover and ensure that the Zhou family and Zhou Mao were safe.

Now that the Zhou family has been released from prison, it is very likely that the official will be reinstated, and it will naturally be fine, but this news will reach Zhou Liangfu's ears in another way, after all, it is insignificant.

But Zhou Mao is different!

If Zhou Mao really won the champion, I'm afraid Zhou Liangfu will understand it after a little thought, and I'm afraid he won't risk being retaliated by Prince Xuande to identify him!

How can this work?

He had been thinking about this plan for a long time, and he must not make a mistake in this matter.

Therefore, he must stop!

Even if Zhou Mao was caught in the eye of the list and the Tanhua Chuan, Gao Zhuo could hide it and lie that he helped fight for it......

But if it is the champion, except for Emperor Hui Chong himself, who still has this power?

He wasn't the Gao Zhuo who could walk sideways back then.

Gao Zhuo lowered his head, ignored the gazes of the princelings and Emperor Hui Chong, and was silent and did not speak.

Seeing this, Prince Xuande snorted coldly, glanced in the direction of the examiners with a deep face, nodded slightly, and glanced at one of them.

The man was a young Hanlin who had always believed that Prince Xuande was the Sacred Heart, and had long since been attached to his men.

"Your Majesty!"

He stood up, glanced at Xun Ran with a gentle face, and turned his head respectfully to ask Emperor Hui Chong for instructions.

"Your Majesty's fist and love for talent, it is natural for Lord Xun to be difficult to understand, after all, he has not read the test papers, so he is ashamed to say this......"

As soon as the words "unashamed" came out, Xun Ran immediately became angry.

He scolded: "The erector is rude! ”

The young Hanlin didn't pay attention to this angry scolding, but directly admonished: "According to Weichen, there are not a few people who think like Lord Xun, but they just didn't stand up and speak out...... Your Majesty may wish to distribute the test papers, so that the ranking adults can evaluate them uniformly, and see what the test papers are really missing......"

Xun Ran didn't mean that at all!

Whether the test paper is good or not has nothing to do with him, what matters is Zhou Mao's identity!

"Don't look away!"

Xun Ran pointed to the young Hanlin Road.

"Zhou Mao's uncle did such an evil thing, how could he be named the champion, how do the people of the world think of this? What do you think of the impostored officials? ”

Hearing Xun Ran's accusation, the young Hanlin, not only was not angry, but became justified.

"Lord Xun's words are wrong!"

He said, "What is the imperial examination for? It's nothing more than the selection of talents! Why does Lord Xun look at people from the crack in the door? When Lian Ke reported the name of the third generation of the clan, his uncle and uncle were not considered, Zhou Mao tried the procedures a few times before, everything was normal, and now how could he completely disqualify him because of his uncle's crime? In this way, wouldn't the imperial examination system be chaotic? ”

"Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! ”

Xun Ran was very angry.

When the young Hanlin saw this, he was even more imposing.

"How ridiculous? I think it's Lord Xun who is ridiculous! It's not good to see Zhou Mao like this, could it be ......"

He raised an eyebrow and said no more.

Xun Ran made him stare angrily, isn't it? What could it be? This is to put a trumped-up charge on his head.

Xun Ran lifted the wat board and was about to throw him.

"Alright—"

At this moment, Emperor Hui Chong spoke.

He raised his hand to stop Xun Ran's movements, looking at him with a little unpleasantness, and then turned his head to look at Gao Zhuo, it was obvious that what the young Hanlin had just said also made Emperor Hui Chong a little suspicious.

Regarding the relationship between Gao Zhuo and Xun Ran, he knows better than anyone else.

Xun Ran came into contact with this gaze and shuddered. In an instant, the momentum just now was gone.

"Zhou Yu'an, distribute the test papers and show them to the ranking adults!"

He waved his hand, and did what the young Hanlin said without even thinking about it.

Zhou Yu'an immediately did so.

The young Hanlin was in high spirits, and he only felt flattered, and when he touched the approving gaze handed over by Prince Xuande, his tail was about to be cocked.

The examination papers were circulated back and forth among the next group of officials.

Soon, after reading it, many people who had doubts before immediately lost their voices.

This level is indeed worthy of Emperor Hui Chong's high opinion.

The test paper was withdrawn, and seeing that the officials below were silent, Emperor Hui Chong didn't say much, and directly decided on the champion candidate.

Gao Zhuo's eyes flashed, but he was helpless.

Emperor Hui Chong's intention to defend Prince Xuande was so obvious, if he came up to oppose it at this time, it would arouse Emperor Hui Chong's desire to protect and make his current situation even more unfavorable.

I can only start from the edict! If you can hide it for one more day, hide it for one more day.

The champion is set, and the next thing is easy!

The previous popular candidate, Lu Shuo, naturally ranked second, and many examiners have admonished, hoping that Emperor Hui Chong will point him to the example.

Emperor Hui Chong smiled, did not answer directly, but said: "Bangyan and Tanhua, there is no difference between it!" I remember that Lu Shuo is a fifteen-year-old boy, and he was born in the Jingguo Mansion, and he is a talent, but he is more suitable for Tanhua than He Qingyun, who is over forty years old. ”

Explore the flowers!

Just listening to the name, it has its own charm.

It is true that throughout the ages, those who can be pointed out as tanhua have looked good, and their age is not too old, which is also a convention!

Emperor Hui Chong made such a decision, and the officials naturally had no objections, and they all responded yes.

The top three in the Jiaxu Year Hall Examination are determined.

Then Emperor Hui Chong established the ranking of the last six candidates, and even if the dust settled, the eunuchs began to spread the word layer by layer, announcing that the candidates waiting outside had entered the hall.
