However, Zhang Pu still didn't answer, but turned to Chen Zhenhui, who was still a little indignant, and asked a little drunk, "Dingsheng, my uncle is an official in the court and is well-informed, hasn't there been a letter sent recently?" ”

Zhang Pu is nineteen this year, Chen Zhenhui is seventeen this year, they are the youngest two people present, both of them are good at writing, and they are peers, and they have a good relationship with each other. I just received it yesterday, and the letter didn't say anything, it was all common words, but my father asked me to participate in this year's government exam, and I went to show my talent and fame, and then I went to participate in the township exam and the general exam. ”

"It's strange, my father used to say that I should sharpen and sharpen more, don't worry. Unexpectedly, this time he urged me to take the scientific examination immediately, and I kept taking one step at a time. Without waiting for others to suffer anything, Chen Zhenhui reacted and found out that something was wrong.

After hearing this, the others' faces suddenly sank, their brows furrowed, and they all thought about the reason. The people present were all intelligent people, reading seeds, and thinking clearly, and from these few strokes, they also sensed that something was wrong.

This year, the number of places in the imperial examination has increased, the unusually urging of the high-ranking officials of the imperial court who originally pressed his son and did not allow him to participate, and Zhang Pu's profound questioning, all of which indicate that there are problems with this year's scientific examination.

Don't...... Several people contacted each other back and forth, and suddenly came up with an incredible answer.

"The imperial court wants to reform the imperial examination?"

"Could it be that this year is the last scientific expedition?"

"Is the imperial court going to cancel the imperial examination?"

Several people shouted out in unison, although the words are different, but the meaning is almost the same, this year's scientific examination is likely to be the last, even if there is in the future, it is likely to have great changes.

"It's still smart and to the point." Zhang Pu sighed in admiration.

In addition, Zhang Cai and Yang Tingshu, who also spoke out, were a little embarrassed, they just said that the scientific expedition was going to be canceled. But it's impossible to think about it, how could the imperial examination be canceled.

"That's right, eighty percent of the Son of Heaven is going to restructure the department, you can guess from the official document issued by the Ministry of Rites this year." Zhang Pu let out a long sigh, looking a little depressed.

"Why is Brother Qiandu so depressed, and what about the last imperial examination, we just happened to enter and fight for a future." Chen Zhenhui is not a little decadent, but seems a little scrappy.

"Don't worry about Qiandu, you are so discerning, you can see the truth in the chaos, and you can wait for high school." Xia Yunyi comforted. He is the eldest of the few, and he has already won the lift, so he is the most stable.

"I'm not worried about the imperial examination, but I feel inferior to others. This matter is not something that the younger brother can see, but someone else instructs. Zhang Pu hesitated, but still said the reason for his depression.

"Oh, who could make our pretentious dryness so decadent?" Zhang Cai, who is also from Taicang, suddenly became curious. The two are fellow villagers, and they both have thin names, and they have an extraordinary friendship, and they know each other very well.

"Yixing Lu Xiangsheng! It was he who pointed me out, saying that this was the last of the old imperial examinations, and if I missed it, I was afraid that it would be difficult to take the exam in the future. Zhang Pu said quietly, obviously still not recovering from the blow.

"Yixing Lu Xiangsheng." Several other people recited the name and silently remembered it in their hearts. Inexplicably, they feel that this person will definitely be able to go to high school this year.

"It seems that my brother has to plan ahead of time." Xia Yunyi sighed, as if he had made up his mind.

"Oh, what are Yi Zhong's plans, let's talk about it in detail." Yang Tingshu, the eldest in the grade, asked with interest. He was a little confused, just referring to the other party's thoughts.

"Originally, I only planned to participate in this year's Jinshi course, and I didn't plan to take the other subjects after the exam. It's just that now it seems that those subjects are a lifesaver, and the Son of Heaven has arranged his exam time after the palace exam, which obviously has a deep meaning. Xia Yunyi didn't hide it either, and said her thoughts bluntly.

"That's true." A few people were inspired and recalled the official document they saw at the school officer, and the arrangement of the Ming Sutra and Ming Calculation subjects on it was really like this.

"Everyone, take your leave, go first for your brother, and go back and get ready." After Xia Yunyi finished speaking, he didn't stay, and left the table directly.

The others didn't stop it, and after bowing, it was a goodbye, after all, it was to prepare for the imperial examination, and I don't know when I would see it. After Xia Yunyi left, the atmosphere in the room gradually solidified, and the singers stopped drumming and silently poured wine and dishes next to them.

A few people didn't have the heart to have fun, they just drank and ate food mechanically, as if they wanted to use wine and food to wrap their boredom and worries in their hearts.

"Hua Lou'er, I don't know if there are any strange things recently, let's hear about it." After all, Zhang Pu, who was good at dancing with long sleeves, didn't want to see the cold scene, so he diverted the topic and asked the singer next to him.

"Hehe, Childe really asked the right person, there is really a case here in the slave family." Hua Lou'er said with a smile, the crisp voice made the room light, and the dull and heavy just now disappeared in an instant.

"Do you know the prince of Moling?" Hua Lou'er asked mysteriously.

"Naturally, I know that the Moling people are good at weaving, and the Wang family is a local clan, controlling almost all the weavers there, and the silk produced every year can be described as massive." Zhang Pu also had the intention to enliven the atmosphere, so he cooperated with Hualouer and went down. "It's just that because of his involvement in the Red Pill Rebellion case, the Wang family has gone into exile overseas......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment, and his right hand, which kept moving with the folding fan, froze in mid-air. Syllable! The stiff hand finally couldn't hold the folding fan, and finally fell to the ground.

"Hua Lou'er, what do you mean by this person." Zhang Pu turned around in vain and asked with a sinking face. The others also stood tall and looked over with burning eyes.

"Yesterday, the slave family saw Wang Gongzi." Hua Lou'er whispered mysteriously, "Although he is disguised, the slave family recognizes it at a glance." He was drinking with a few people dressed in brocade robes. ”

"Wang San even dared to appear on land." Zhang Cai said in a strange voice, "Could it be that there is something unspeakable that makes him take such a risk?" ”

"What are the identities of those brocade-robed people?" Yang Tingshu grasped the key point and asked coldly.

"Slave family, slave family......." Yang Tingshu's sudden voice startled Hua Lou'er, and she seemed to realize at this time that this matter was not trivial.

"Lou'er, don't be afraid, just tell what you know, no one will do anything to you." Zhang Pu comforted softly, his voice calmed down the singer, and she mustered up the courage to tell everything she saw last night.

"The slave family recognized Wang Gongzi, and naturally wondered why he acted like this, so when he was serving tea and wine, he went in and took a closer look at the guests, and then asked the familiar sisters how many military masters of Suzhou Wei in Beijing." Hua Lou'er said such a shocking news tremblingly, just looking at her ignorant expression, she obviously didn't know what it meant. It's just that the cold expressions of these talented sons make her afraid.

It's going to be a big mess!

After listening to Hua Lou'er's story, several people glanced at each other, and such thoughts came to their hearts.
