Zi Xiu has been standing aside and watching coldly, not that he doesn't want to help Zhao Zhen speak, but that it is not appropriate for him to say anything at this time, Jiang Erlang and Zhao You appeared here at the same time, as soon as they appeared, they pointed the finger at Zhao Zhen himself, obviously not at ease, with his relationship with Zhao Zhen, opening his mouth at this time, no matter what he said, it was possible to be used by the prince.

Sure enough, after listening to Zhao Zhen's answer, Zhao You not only did not have the slightest look of unhappiness on his face, but took it with a smile: "The third brother is reasonable, it is a blessing to give birth to grace and raise grace, as a prince, we should know the truth of Entu Bao, it is rare for the third brother to meet your brother in the folk here, and I will not bother you to catch up with the old brother." After finishing speaking, Shi Shiran turned around and left, Jiang Erlang glanced at Zhao Zhen and Zixiu, and ran away.

"Let's go, too." Zi Xiu glanced at the back of the prince and Jiang Erlang leaving, ignoring the strange eyes of the surrounding crowd looking at them, walked to Zhao Zhen's side, patted him on the shoulder, and left the scene with Song Qiuyi and Zheng Yuansheng.

"Xiaozhen, you are reckless today, you shouldn't call me and my sister brothers and sisters in front of so many people." After returning to the Chamber of Commerce, Zi Xiu frowned slightly and said to Zhao Zhen, don't look at the high-sounding words of the prince before leaving, but in fact, his intentions are extremely vicious, he appeared at the same time as Jiang Erlang today, and in all likelihood, it was to force Zhao Zhen to disclose his relationship with the Xiao family.

Zhao Zhen was raised by the Xiao family since he was a child, this is not a shameful thing, and it is not a big problem to be made public, but Zhao Zhen is a prince, a prince who has recovered his identity is still commensurate with his brother and sister to the children who raise his family, and it is nice to say, indicating that this prince was born with great affection, and he knows very much, and it is not good to say, it is stupid, you are a prince, after returning to the royal family, but the family that raised you is more important than the royal people, such a person may be able to become an idle prince with a good reputation, But there is not much possibility of inheriting the unification, which emperor wants his heir to be so unclear.

"There is nothing that should not be, in my heart, you, my sister, and my mother are more important than power." Zi Xiu understood the truth, Zhao Zhen, who was already sixteen years old, would not not understand, but he still chose to do so without any scruples.

"His Royal Highness King Shou." Song Qiuyi called Zhao Zhen with some disapproval.

"Uncle, second brother, you don't need to say more, I calmly promise to have a relationship with you in front of the world, the problem is not as serious as you think, my father already knows my feelings for the Xiao family, I frankly admit that he will most likely praise me in his heart for a true character, if he hides it, it will attract his suspicion, but the second brother, you are now the leader of the test, presumably the ranking of the palace test will not be bad, with the queen and the prince, I must not want to watch you just like this, during this period, you have to be more careful, The choke was plotted. Zhao Zhen glanced at the two of them and said with a serious face.

Zi Xiu and Song Qiuyi listened to it, and each nodded, the third day after the list of exams is the palace exam, the palace exam questions are usually asked by the emperor, only the test is asked, not the other, the exam time is only one day, and the next day the emperor hand-picks out the top champion, the list of eyes, Tanhua, Chuanyu and so on.

On the morning of March 21, the examinees entered the Jiying Hall at the time of the morning, first accepted the roll call of the judges, and after all the 136 candidates arrived, Song Zhenzong and the chief examiner Jiang Ge Lao, as well as several Tulong Pavilion bachelors walked into the Jiying Hall together, Song Zhenzong, who was nearly fifty years old, had a little fat in figure, his personality was a little soft compared to the emperor, and his appearance looked more kind, but the emperor of 20 years did it, and no matter how soft and kind the person was, he also had a bit of imperial majesty.

"Is this the gentleman of Enke this time? Not bad, not bad. After Song Zhenzong entered the hall, he glanced at the students present, and the students who entered the list this time were not particularly old, and the most were only thirty-six years old, and their appearance was not particularly obscene, which made Song Zhenzong, who had always attached more importance to appearance, feel more comfortable.

The students all stood up and saluted to the emperor, and then the emperor led everyone to praise the sages, and after the ceremony, Song Zhenzong spoke again: "The exam question is very simple, I will not give another question, you will try the policy question - on the pros and cons of current politics and the development of people's livelihood to write a personal impression, limited to 500 words." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect the emperor to come out with the exam question was this, this topic seems easy at first glance, but it is actually worth scrutinizing, Song Zhenzong suddenly came out with this question, and I don't know if he is dissatisfied with the policy of the test, after Song Zhenzong's words fell, the ministers who followed him into the palace, or the students who took the exam, were a little apprehensive in their hearts.

Song Zhenzong obviously didn't care about everyone's minds, after he finished speaking, he waved his hand to send down the volume, after Zixiu got the volume, he didn't start writing at the first time, he took the volume and thought for more than a quarter of an hour, then picked up the smile, began to splash ink, it only took an hour or so, a five-hundred-word text was waved, after writing, put down the pen, read it carefully, and found that there was no problem, after the ink was dry, it was handed over.

He was the sixth to hand in the test paper when he took the exam, but today it was the first, after handing in the test paper, Zi Xiu saluted the emperor and the ministers on the spot, and then withdrew from the Ying Palace, the time when the Jinshi list was announced is clear, today's candidates can leave the test if they are complete, the five-hundred-word article will not take too long, there will be no mediocre people who can be selected for this scientific examination, and one hundred and thirty or sixty people have all handed in the papers before noon.

After the students who participated in the palace examination left, the emperor casually flipped through a few papers and left, although the emperor of the palace examination was the nominal examiner, but he could not read all the papers, except for the few who handed in the papers first, he would take a look, and after all the papers came up, he would draw a few to see, and the other papers were read by the chief examiner of the examination and the Tulong Pavilion bachelor on the spot.

After they finish reading, they will pick out five or six articles that everyone thinks are the most outstanding and hand them to the emperor, and the emperor will hand-pick and rank, in addition to Jiang Ge Lao, there are four Tulong Pavilion bachelors, one hundred and thirty-six volumes of five hundred words or less are read by six people, and it doesn't take much time to read it.

"Wu En, what do you think of this Xiao Zixiu?" In the imperial study, Song Zhenzong held Zixiu's "On the Pros and Cons of Current Politics and the Development of People's Livelihood" and the testimonial he had just completed today, and his fingers tapped lightly on the imperial case while opening his mouth to the old eunuch who had served him for more than 30 years.

Minister, don't dare to comment indiscriminately. Wu En glanced at Song Zhenzong cautiously and spoke with a worried expression.
