Chapter 296, find fault
The people around were stunned for a moment when they heard the voice, and then their eyes involuntarily converged on Zhao Zhen's body, the handsome and dusty young man in front of him with a warm temperament was the king of Shouchun who returned to Beijing four years ago, and was obviously very favored by the Son of Heaven, but he acted very low-key? That's right, although the king of Shouchun County has been back in Beijing for four years, he has been extremely low-key, he almost never deals with the children of the nobles, and there are only a handful of people in the capital who know him except for the emperor and the courtiers who have seen him in the court.

If he is the king of Shouchun County, what does that person mean by what he said just now? Could it be that there is anything unpleasant between the king of Shouchun County and Xiao Zixiu, the leader of this examination? The idea fell here, everyone's eyes at Zhao Zhen and Xiao Zixiu suddenly changed from curiosity to scrutiny, no matter in ancient times, the blatant cheating in this kind of big exam is the object that everyone can't bear, even if this possibility has not been confirmed yet, the surrounding audience still can't help but become hostile to Zixiu and Zhao Zhen, you know, most of the people present at this time are candidates from all over the world, once someone really cheats, they are all direct victims.
Zhao Zhen turned a blind eye to everyone's gaze, he turned his gaze, looked at the person who spoke, and was greeted by a twenty-six or seventeen-year-old young man in a scarlet robe, this young man was not bad-looking, and he was holding a folding fan in his hand, Zhao Zhen saw his appearance clearly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he stepped forward, and came to the young man in the scarlet robe in two steps, stared at him in an unkind tone and said: "It turned out to be Erlangjun of Jiangfu, I don't know if you have heard a sentence, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." ”
"What do you mean by that? Could it be that I colluded with this year's examiner and informed Xiao Jialangjun of the exam questions in advance, which gave him his current ranking? Jiang Erlang was forced by him like this, and his face suddenly changed, even if he had the heart to think so, he would never dare to say this.
Who is the examiner this year? It's Jiang Ge Lao, who is Jiang Ge Lao? Whether in the court or the people, he belongs to a monumental figure, how could such a person cooperate with a county king who has no power or background to betray the exam questions? Even if he wanted to pour such a basin of sewage on Jiang Ge Lao and Zhao Zhen, someone had to believe it, right? The reason why he blurted out such a sentence just now was because Zhao Zhen was not pleasing to the eye.
Now that he is forced by Zhao Zhen like this, he can't help but be anxious, if he doesn't come back today, it is not only the king of Shouchun County who will be offended, but in a flash of thought, he has already spoken: "I, I don't mean this, don't distort and slander me indiscriminately, but you just say that with Xiao Zixiu's ability, it is a matter of course to win the first place in this examination, how can you be so sure?" I've heard that the difficulty of the exam questions this time is more difficult than any previous session, even if there are many well-educated Confucians on the field, I am not sure that I have such a certainty, may I ask where your confidence comes from? ”
He said that this sentence is a bit level, although Jiang Ge Lao is the chief examiner of this session, but the exam questions cannot be known only to him, with your identity as the king of Shouchun County, if you really want to get an exam question, although it is not easy, but it is not completely impossible, otherwise, how can you use such a positive tone to judge that Xiao Zixiu will win the crown of this year?
The eyes of those around who originally subconsciously turned to Jiang Erlang because of Zhao Zhen's questioning fell on Zhao Zhen and Zixiu again, but Zhao Zhen has never caused trouble in Beijing in the past few years, not because he is afraid of things, but he has always kept in mind Xiao Nan's teachings, he is a prince who has just entered Beijing, and the best way to survive is to Taoguang and raise obscurity, and at the same time, there must be the measure and proportion that a prince should have.
"Why? I'm here to tell you why, because Xiao Langjun is my brother in the people, I grew up with him since I was a child, I know him very well, he passed the children's examination at the age of eleven, and he passed the children's examination at the age of 14 with the first place in the town, passed the county examination at the age of 14 and became a showman, and became Xie Yuan of Henan Mansion at the age of 17. ”
"As the son of the prince of the dynasty, you are immoral and incompetent, you are a dog all day long, you have nothing to do, and you are still wantonly slandering and slandering the prince of the dynasty and the leader of the examination without any evidence, what's the matter, the dynasty is already in charge of your country's mansion?" Zhao Zhen's face sank like water, and his footsteps forced Jiang Erlang to take a step again, and shouted loudly.
At this moment, his warm and jade-like temperament disappeared without a trace, and the whole person looked like a beast that chose people to devour, Jiang Erlang touched his gaze, only to feel that his heart was numb, his throat was dry, and he kicked and kicked back three steps in a row, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.
"Third brother, why are you having such a big temper for no reason? Jiang Erlang didn't know the origin and identity of Xiao Jialangjun, but after he heard your words, it was normal for him to have some misunderstandings, but the third brother just said that Xiao Jialangjun is yours? You say he's your brother to the people? At that moment, another clear voice rang out, and a handsome young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old came out of some inconspicuous corner.
"It turned out that the prince's brother arrived, the courtier's brother has seen the prince's brother, you heard it right, Xiao Langjun is indeed my brother in the people, in addition to him, I also have a sister in the people, you have also seen it, when I was in Youzhou City." Zhao Zhen took his gaze back from Jiang Erlang, fell on the brocade-robed young man, and said lightly, the person who came was the current crown prince Zhao You.
As soon as he said this, countless gasps suddenly sounded around him, now it's okay, not only is the king of Shouchun County here, but now even His Royal Highness the prince has come out, and there is, the first place in this examination is actually the brother of the king of Shouchun in the people? Naturally, there are many people who know the prince among the magnates in Bianjing, but most of the people at the scene today are from other places rushing to take the exam, and these people don't know the prince Zhao You.
"Hehe, it turns out that this Xiao Langjun is actually the younger brother of Mrs. Xiao, no wonder he is so outstanding, but the third brother, no matter how outstanding the Xiao family's sisters and brothers are, is it a little inappropriate for you to call them brothers and sisters in this court?" Zhao You smiled, first praised the Xiao family sisters and brothers, and then asked a question as if inadvertently.
"I have lived in the Xiao family for nine years, from a childish who does not understand the world to a literate and reasonable teenager, all because of their careful teaching, if only because of the restoration of noble status, I will regard the benefactor who raised me in the past as a stranger, I Zhao Zhen, am I still qualified to be this prince? As for what I call them, when I call them brother and sister, I am the ordinary child who grew up with them back then, not some prince, and I have already told my father about this matter, and if the prince and brother think that I have violated the rules, I can go to my father and the emperor to see me. Zhao Zhen met Zhao You's gaze and replied word by word.
