"What? Did Lord Shi forget the Empress Dowager's will? Or do you want to take advantage of the absence of anyone to wantonly suppress Mei Xueyan for their own selfish interests? ”

Zhong Yuanjun was a little short of breath, he knew that Shi Yuanzhong would not compromise his means, but he didn't expect Shi Yuanzhong to go back on his word and make trouble at the juncture of the marking. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Shi Yuanzhong was questioned by Zhong Yuanjun, and his face was slightly embarrassed.

"Of course I don't dare to forget the queen mother's decree, no matter how the queen mother and the emperor reward Mei Xueyan is a holy will, I don't dare to put a beak. But...... The government examination held by the Academy of Literature has nothing to do with the imperial court and the queen mother after all. ”

The imperial examination is held by the Academy of Literature, but the imperial court selects talents from it every year, and the government runs schools and colleges, so it is mixed together and difficult to separate, but to make it clear, the imperial examination is indeed only a matter of the Academy of Literature.

"Then you are not qualified to deduct Mei Xueyan's exam papers!" Zhong Yuanjun said angrily.

Shi Yuanzhong saw that he was angry, and said with a rhetorical smile: "Zhong Yuanjun is not in a hurry, I have never deducted her exam papers, I discussed it with Dai Supervisor of the Literary Academy, since it is a matter of the Literary Academy, then it is up to the Literary Academy to decide, we have already sent the examination papers to the capital as soon as possible, and everything will be decided by the Literary Academy." ”

Zhong Yuanjun stood up suddenly, pointed at Shi Yuanzhong but couldn't say anything to refute, and sat back dejectedly.

"Zhong Yuanjun, what do you say you have to do so seriously?" Shi Yuanzhong approached and said, "Actually, Mei Xueyan was eliminated, which is the most beneficial to you and the Fu Academy, I looked at the exam papers, and the high apprentice Mao Kaizhi is the most promising to compete for the champion, you also know Mei Xueyan's talent, if it is really evaluated, I am afraid that the champion of the Fu Academy will not be guaranteed for nearly ten years......"

"I'd rather not have this champion." Zhong Yuanjun said sullenly.

Shi Yuanzhong's plan is to submit the exam papers to the Academy of Literature, delaying it for a few days, the evaluation has been completed, and even if the Academy of Literature approves Mei Xueyan's examination papers again, the results cannot be changed.

As for the Academy of Literature making an exception to seal a person? Never.

Dai Tianming looked left and right, although he was hindered by Shi Yuanzhong's power and leaned towards Shi Yuanzhong, but he didn't want to offend Zhong Yuanjun, so he simply didn't speak.

"Just let them check!"

A voice suddenly sounded outside the door, not loud, but not angry and arrogant, it was a power cultivated in a high position all year round. Hearing this voice, Dai Tianming was a little puzzled, Zhong Yuanjun also stood up, and Shi Yuanzhong was cold.

I saw a man in an auspicious cloud official uniform and a black gauze hat walking in outside the house, he was taller and straighter, walking with the wind, and standing like a strong pine.

It was Miao Yi, the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture.

"Prefect ......"

Shi Yuanzhong's momentum was a little shorter, but he still stiffened his neck, and seemed to refuse to be subservient.

Miao Yiguo's face, horizontal eyebrows, eyebrows are always frowned, and he looks serious and upright.

"Lord Shi is so bold, I thought you forgot that Taiyuan Mansion has me." Miao Yi said with a smile.

"How dare the lower officials, only know the hard work of the prefect in the past, you see, the trivial matter of this government examination paper is entangled...... By the way, isn't the prefect recuperating? How to ...... today"

Shi Yuanzhong's words were humble, but his tone was not weak at all.

"Lord Rausch remembers, my wind and cold disease has been cured."

The flesh on Shi Yuanzhong's face shook, Miao Yi was not sick at all, how could he not know? It's just that in recent years, he has relied on the power of the left minister to meet the source left and right in Taiyuan Mansion, win over officials, and have gained a firm foothold, on the contrary, Miao Yi has almost no place to stand, so he has to call himself sick and escape.

Shi Yuanzhong looked down on Miao Yi a little, he was still wary at the beginning, wondering if Miao Yi was using excuses to say that he was sick and was not good for himself behind his back, but he didn't come out for more than half a year, and the real power of Taiyuan Mansion was transferred to his own hands step by step, so he put his mind at ease, presumably Miao Yi couldn't toss a spark.

Today, seeing him suddenly appear, he seemed to be in good spirits, and his confident appearance made Shi Yuanzhong vigilant.

"Then the lower official congratulates your lordship......

Miao Yi waved his hand and said: "We are also superior officials and friends, there is no need to say polite words, Master Shi will go back first, I will handle the marking of the papers." ”

"What do you mean, Lord Prefect?"

Shi Yuanzhong's tone was cold, and his smile froze on his face.

There is no benefit to this marking of papers, whether it is big or small, and of course Shi Yuanzhong does not want to compete for things. After Miao Yi recuperated, everything was decided by Shi Yuanzhong, and Miao Yi sent him away and replaced him when he appeared, which meant that he Miao Yi came back and began to fight for the power in his hands.

"This official is the prefect of Taiyuan Mansion, and this evaluation paper is the duty of this official, speaking of which, I want to thank Lord Shi for sharing his worries and busy work for this official in the past six months, but since I have recovered, then Lord Shi can rest."

Miao Yi said decisively, the implication is that he, the real prefect, is back, and Shi Yuanzhong, the acting prefect, should return to his position as a fellow prefect.

"It is also the duty of the subordinate to share the worries of the adults...... The prefect is recovering from a serious illness, and it is good to leave this little matter to the lower officials, not to mention, the matters that have been handled by the lower officials before are still more familiar to the lower officials, and the prefects are unfamiliar, so let the lower officials do it for them. ”

Shi Yuanzhong is not afraid of Miao Yi, Miao Yi was overwhelmed by him earlier, and now Shi Yuanzhong is firmly controlling the officials of Taiyuan Mansion, Miao Yi is a bare-bones commander, why should he fight with himself?

"Lord Shi may not know yet, there is already a letter in the capital, it seems that Lord Shi will be transferred out of Taiyuan Mansion soon, so Lord Shi doesn't have to do this useless work."

Miao Yi's words made Shi Yuanzhong stunned, transferred? How did he not know?

It is said that there is often any news, there is Zuo Xiang, he must be the first to know, what does Miao Yi mean by this? Shi Yuanzhong naturally thought on the bright side, could it be that Prime Minister Zuo had already decided to promote him? If that's the case, then he really doesn't have to care about this bit of power in Taiyuan Mansion.

As for dethronement, that is absolutely impossible.

Shi Yuanzhong was delighted, it seems that Miao Yi wished he had been promoted as soon as possible, with him, Miao Yi had no chance at all. Shi Yuanzhong's heart fluttered, what official position would Zuo Xiang ask for for him? He couldn't wait.

"In that case, then the lower official will retire ......"

Shi Yuanzhong didn't bother to fight, so he hurriedly pulled out and left, he wanted to go back and send a message to the capital to confirm.

Miao Yi quietly watched him leave, and snorted coldly.

"Master Miao, what about Mei Xueyan's exam papers here...... I can't recover it now, what should I do? Zhong Yuanjun asked.

Dai Tianming wanted to please Shi Yuanzhong, but Shi Yuanzhong ran away, and the prefect came back, his stammering was a waste, and it was not good to talk to Miao Yi for a while.

"Let's not consider Mei Xueyan's exam papers first, let's evaluate them."

Miao Yi said thoughtfully.
