With Mao Kaizhi taking the lead, only three of the twenty-five talents in the academy abstained and did not express their position, and all the others supported Mao Kaizhi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

They were afraid of Zhong Yuanjun, but compared with Zhong Yuanjun, they were more willing to cling to Mao Kaizhi, because Zhong Yuanjun was temporarily the emperor of the Fu Academy, but he was already old and frail, and he didn't have a few years to live. And behind Mao Kaizhi is the entire Mao family, how can they not be able to distinguish the benefits and harms?

Zhong Yuanjun didn't say anything, just leaned back in his chair, unspeakably disappointed and lonely.

In fact, before Mao Kaizhi, the opposition to Mei Xueyan was overwhelming, and he could pretend not to help each other, but Mao Kaizhi was a scheming young Confucian student, and he couldn't deceive the demon barrier in his heart.

Before Mao Kaizhi spoke, Yuan Wenbo knew that the matter had been decided, and he was in ecstasy, looking at Shi Yuanzhong, he had done a good job in the process, and waited for Shi Yuanzhong to announce the result.

"Since it is the will of the people, I can't disobey this fellow ......," Shi Yuanzhong couldn't wait to say, "That's ......"

"Lord Shi!"

At this time, an old man ran in and shouted in a panic.

"Do what?"

Shi Yuanzhong was displeased, he was about to expel Mei Xueyan, but this old guy had followed Shi Yuanzhong for many years, and he was not a person who did not distinguish between severity and importance, so Shi Yuanzhong could only ask patiently.

"Beijing...... There is a father-in-law who comes to pass on the queen mother's decree! said that it was the emperor's queen who rewarded Mei Xueyan ......"

The old man's voice was not loud, but it was like thunder in Shi Yuanzhong's ears, Shi Yuanzhong faintly felt that things were going to be bad, but he was a city government with a deep heart, so he calmed down.

"Reward ......," Shi Yuanzhong muttered, "Did he come in?" ”

"It's already in the Fu Academy, that is, my father-in-law said that there is no need to alarm the people of the whole academy and hinder the entrance examination, just let Mei Xueyan go with you to receive the order......

Shi Yuanzhong pinched the wrench on the thumb of his left hand, and the green tendons burst out, almost crushing the jade wrench.

He weighed it left and right, if he disregarded Yi's will now and drove Mei Xueyan out first, she would still get a reward, in case the emperor and queen mother recognized her position and identity, she could swagger in again, but slapped himself in the face. And although he tried his best to be loyal to the left minister, he dared to ignore the queen mother's decree, and he could only become the cannon fodder of the left minister, which was really unwise.

can only find a reason afterwards, saying that the Queen Mother's decree arrived in time, and he could not do anything to shirk it.

Thinking about this joint, Shi Yuanzhong said to Mei Xueyan: "You come out with this official ......"

Mei Xueyan was thinking that these people were going to work together to drive herself away, and when the dust had almost settled, the old guy panicked and said a few words to Shi Yuanzhong, Shi Yuanzhong obviously hesitated for a while, and turned the words to his lips and swallowed back.

Mei Xueyan could only follow, but she saw a father-in-law waiting with two little eunuchs.

"Mei Xueyan took the order...... "My father-in-law sang expressionlessly.

Mei Xueyan was feeling dazed, and knelt down in a daze to receive the order.

"Lin'an Mei's, Duan Lai Roujia, Pi Zhao Shuhui, both talent and morality, the former opening of the Jingguo precedent, and the merit of the community, there are women like this, the mourning family is very pleased, the special edict is written, 30,000 taels of silver, five silk silk silk in the Western Regions, a token is given, I hope to make persistent efforts, do not slack off."

Mei Xueyan listened inexplicably, this decree came suddenly, and she hadn't reacted yet.

"Miss Mei, don't thank you yet......"

"Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother...... Thank you, father-in-law. ”

Mei Xueyan took the decree and looked at it, thinking that the Queen Mother's handwriting was really beautiful and dignified.

"That father-in-law, these things ......"

"Oh, I'll send someone to the house." The father-in-law smiled and said, "Congratulations to Miss Mei for being so praised by the Queen Mother, and it won't delay the girl's formality, go back to the examination room." ”

My father-in-law has served people all his life, and he is thoughtful about everything, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about Mei Xueyan.

Shi Yuanzhong had a gloomy face behind him, and carefully analyzed the decree, not the holy decree, explaining that it was just a reward, not a reward, which was better, probably the queen mother was also obstructed by the left minister. The content of Yi's decree is mainly praise and reward, but Mei Xueyan's merits are not carefully mentioned, it can be seen that there is still a dispute in the court, and the queen mother's reward can be regarded as her personal meaning, not the emperor.

What made Shi Yuanzhong feel frustrated was that the Queen Mother obviously affirmed Mei Xueyan's participation in the imperial examination, and asked her to make persistent efforts, then he and Yuan Wenbo had planned for so long, and the plan to suppress Mei Xueyan with everyone's hands was doomed to be in vain.

The Queen Mother has praised her, can Shi Yuanzhong still be disobedient?

Mei Xueyan and Shi Yuanzhong returned to the examination room with their front and back feet, and at this time they had already begun to distribute the exam papers, Shi Yuanzhong sat down with a cold face, and Mei Xueyan was also safe and sound.

Seeing this, Yuan Wenbo wondered why she went and returned? Didn't Master Tongzhi take her away and expel her?

"Master Shi...... It's time to announce the results of the matter, right? ”

"The government test begins! Anyone who speaks again will be dealt with as cheating immediately! ”

Shi Yuanzhong suppressed his anger and roared, not only Yuan Wenbo was startled, but the other talents felt strange.

Yuan Wenbo shut up in amusement, his heart was turbulent, something must have happened, what could make Shi Yuanzhong regret it? Yuan Wenbo's blood was boiling, and he was very unwilling, could it be that his multi-day plan fell short like this? !

How could he be willing?! Affected by this, Yuan Wenbo couldn't make a sound, he only felt a faintness in his head, looking at the exam papers a little unfamiliar, and his eyes were full of stars.

"Calm down ......"

Yuan Wenbo comforted himself in his heart: "Master Shi must have his own considerations, Mei Xueyan can't escape...... Anyway, she hadn't learned how to make a strategy at all, so she wouldn't have been able to win it! And I've been studying for so many years...... has prepared a foolproof strategy, as long as she doesn't make mistakes, she will definitely be able to stabilize her! ”

Rao is like this, Yuan Wenbo still can't calm down, under the impetuousness, he feels anxious when he looks at the topic, and often loses his mind, even the simplest part of literature and history, the topic that is usually achieved overnight, he stumbles, can't write for a long time, and can't help but think of Mei Xueyan's matter, and his memory is disordered.

The more this happened, the more anxious he became, and it was useless to comfort himself in his heart, and unconsciously, his hands were a little shaky, and beads of sweat appeared on his sideburns, which just dripped onto the answers just written on the exam paper.

"Not good!"

Yuan Wenbo only heard a grunt, and his heart missed half a beat.

When it comes to Xiucai's literary position, everyone's knowledge is about the same, the literary and historical questions are more open, and there is no fixed standard answer, which is obviously more difficult, but with their foundation, almost all of them can answer perfectly, and the standard of marking the paper will become more demanding, and the font on the scroll can not be bad.

Yuan Wenbo's eyes were dark, and he almost despaired.
