"The family of the prince's students is the family of the imperial businessman, and they dare not deceive them on the crime of killing their heads." Xu Liang saw that there was no certainty in the matter, and he reported to his family in a hurry, hoping that King Yi would redefine this matter in the name of the emperor's personal title of imperial businessman.

"The Xu family?" Xi Chao raised the corners of his lips slightly and looked meaningfully at Xu Liang, who dared to say this in front of everyone, was he anxious and stupid, trying to use the façade of the Xu family to make a face, really thinking that he would not investigate thoroughly?

"That is, the imperial merchant Xu family, there should be three places to be delegated in the autumn of this year." The words that seemed to be smiling and brought out the cool voice from the tide to the mouth, and the eyes swept towards the candidates at will.

As soon as these words came out, not only did Xu Liang feel cold all over his body, but the faces of the two Xu family members among the candidates changed instantly, and they secretly cursed Xu Liang to be more than enough to lose, and they dragged out the banner of the Xu family in a good manner, but now they couldn't stop the Wing King from pursuing further, but they were dragged into the water by brainless people, whether they stood or spoke.

Yiwang clearly pointed out in one sentence that the candidates who were also in the Xu family rushing to take the exam did not even know their own families, which was too strange, and the rest of the candidates were not dull people who immediately looked out of the doorway, no matter who was true or false in the whole matter, just saying that the three people of the Xu family were not very good, this was all kind words, and they had more hearts, and they would stay away from the Xu family in the future, and they would not even stand up to help their own families, not to mention outsiders who had no relationship.

"The Imperial Merchants are just different." Xi Chao threw out a sentence without saltiness, "There is no end to people's hearts." ”

Just when the three members of the Xu family were terrified and worried that the Wing King would dig deeper, they suddenly turned their heads, causing the three of them to drop their hearts to the middle of the middle, and still none of them landed.

"What's the first test today?" Xi Chao asked about serious things.

"Back to the prince. Take the eight-strand essay. The official bowed down and replied, unable to do anything in a hurry.

"Oh, it just so happens that this king has an exam question." Xi Chao flicked his fingertips, and he was not in a hurry. "On the topic of today's events, write a strategy to participate in the autumn festival by impersonating someone else."

The candidates and examiners were suddenly shocked, this, this, not in accordance with the rules, how can there be temporary questions, and it is the third test before the question. Over the years, I have seen a lot of strange things happening in the autumn festival, and I have never been so crowded as I am today.

"Lord, the title was drafted by the emperor and the number of copies has been copied." It's really not that noisy. Officials had to resort to roundabout methods to dissuade them.

"In this case, the title of the first test question will remain unchanged, and the content will be written according to what the king said." Xi Chao Lingsi had an idea, and he was worried that he couldn't find anyone suspected of cheating among the many candidates. If you change the topic, the clues will always be revealed. Kill two birds with one stone.

"Lord Wang, it's not in line with etiquette." Ouyang Ye couldn't stand it and stopped it, "It will cause trouble for future review." "I can't guess that Xu Qian was still talking about the truth and falsehood just now, but when he turned around, he immediately changed, which one was making trouble.

"What the Prime Minister said is true, please explain it in detail." The officials agreed, and agreed that the Wing King was really idle enough, and this was the Gongyuan and the examination room. How can you be presumptuous by your temperament?

"If the prince decides to change the subject, he must be approved by the emperor." The news was sent to the palace and the auspicious time was missed early in the morning, and the officials took advantage of this to dispel the whims of the Wing King.

"It is written in the edict that the king of the autumn festival has full power." The Xi Dynasty has already responded, and is waiting for officials to speak out.

"This ......," the officials looked at each other, and they were puzzled. I just glanced at the oracle and didn't notice that there was such a thing.

"It is not in accordance with the rules for the prince to return to the teacher at this time." Anyway, Qiu Yu has a set of established rules to act, which have never changed in a hundred years, and the Wing King is too maverick and autocratic.

"The rules are set by people, and since they are set by people, they can be adapted according to the situation." Xi Chao's next words made the official snort.

"This king suspects that there are people in the examination room, so in order to prevent accidents, this king will do whatever he says." Xi Chao's light voice was full of deep meaning.

"Fraud in science and education has been common since ancient times, and it has been banned repeatedly, what do you say?" Xi Chao seems to be asking for the opinions of officials, but in fact he is forcing everyone to take a stand.

"The prince is reasonable, and the lower officials will definitely cooperate with the prince's inspector." Officials bow down in unison to make promises, the matter is related to their own bodies, and how many examiners are affected in a case of favoritism and fraud, and the dismissal is a small pull out of the radish and bring out the mud is a big one.

"Okay, it's not too early to go back and get ready for the exam, remember the requirements set in the first question." Xichao reminded again, don't take your words seriously, and some will cry when the list is released.

"The room doesn't need to be locked, the place on a hot day is small and unventilated, and it is easy to get sick, and the water to drink should be clean. Xi Chao ordered to go down one by one.

"Master, the water in the tank is raw water." Hong Ming felt that it was not easy for the candidates.

"Order someone to boil hot water and cool it for later use." Xi Dynasty does not have to improve the status quo of the scientific examination over the years to gain the praise of the candidates, but is really afraid of death or something, and it is not uncommon for accidental deaths due to food problems over the years.

"The master wants to eat together here, then ......" The meaning is self-evident, the reason why Hongming mentioned it is that it is good for the master, these are all talents, and the master is short of manpower, so don't hurry up and give a good impression at this time.

Xi Chao smiled when he heard it, "Order someone to prepare a stove to make a fire to cook, three meals a day, today's breakfast has been used is not counted, lunch starts, whoever eats will take it, eat well and answer the questions to have a spiritual head." "I don't care if I'm nameless, my position is already high and famous, but it has become a burden.

"Big fish and big meat are free, and you are tired of eating on a hot day, so let's eat vegetarian food and find a few cooks who can do it." Xichao wants to be natural and comprehensive, and if something goes wrong, my kindness will probably be burned.

"The prince is thoughtful." The official had to praise it, and he slandered the true width of the winged king's management in his heart, and he was like this where the money came from, and he would pretend to be rich, who called the winged king to manage the household, and the emperor could only say good when he knew it, who called it for the body of the majority of candidates.

"Can the students go back?" Xu Liang spoke, this opportunity is rare, he has already done half of the fifteen eyes of the first year of junior high school, and now he is unwilling to give up and ask tentative questions.

"Do you think you have this chance?" Xi Chao sneered, "Putting the cart before the horse is a loss of virtue and misconduct, and the banner of the Xu family is used as a tiger skin." You're foolish to be the king. ”

"Lord Wang, the student doesn't dare, the student is telling the truth." Xu Liang bowed his head and kowtowed. His back was cold, his face was slightly pale, and it was difficult to take back the water that had been spilled out of the mouth, so he had to say it hard.

"Lord Wang, if you don't hand the three of them over to the Criminal Department for interrogation, you can know if it's true or not." The officials wanted to settle the matter quickly, but kneeling here was really in the way, and the Winged King had always been decisive. What's going on today, it's not decided.

As soon as they heard that they were going to be sent to the criminal department, beads of sweat on the faces of the three of them were as white as paper beans rolling down their foreheads. His lips trembled, and he didn't dare to speak.

"Sent to the Criminal Department, the opportunity was completely lost, even if he participated in the imperial examination again, the officials should not tolerate people with stains. Even if it's innocent. "Officialdom is so realistic. Originally, there were so many positions, a radish and a pit, how many people participated in the big exam in three years, and how many people stayed in a small place for a lifetime and could not be promoted, their own ability accounted for one thing, and the relationship between the officials was considered on the other hand, and the Xi Dynasty had studied the history books, and it was written that the official had a good hand, and the other was innocent without any bad records. There are two major points in the selection of talents, and there are many other small points.

"According to the prince's will?" The officials wondered if the Wing King didn't make a decision directly, but asked someone to ask. The whole person was exhausted, and he couldn't help but look at the prime minister, why did he toss people like this when he was obviously his own daughter, and he didn't care.

The winged king did not make a decision to hand over the matter to the criminal department to supervise the matter, and the officials felt inexplicable, and the three people kneeling on the ground were half cold, and their hearts warmed up a little, obviously understanding that there was still hope.

"Lord Wang, Li Lei was implicated because of his students, and I implore the Lord Wang to open up." Xu Qian was reluctant to bring the innocent Li Lei with him.

"Lord Wang, the student has not done anything wrong, and he has the right to take the exam." Li Lei defended himself, did not feel remorse for helping Xu Qian, and had a clear conscience for what he did with his conscience.

"You only have a few sides with him, and if you come forward to help, do you know if the other party acknowledges your kindness?" Xi Chao observed Li Lei with great interest, he is a simple character, but I don't know if he knows how to be flexible.

"Students only do what they have to do, they don't expect anything in return, they just want to be worthy of their hearts." Li Lei replied with a straight face.

"It's for myself, and I can't fight hard because of the situation." Xi Chao's eyes fell on Xu Qian, and he paused slightly, "Or is it to take revenge for making a big fuss and dragging the Xu family into the water, and asking for the price for the wrongs suffered today?" ”

Xu Qian's heart was cold and biting, and he couldn't feel a trace of heat in the hot weather, just because the Wing King pierced his desperate thoughts with a sharp shot.

Xu Liang keenly heard the hidden meaning in the words of the Wing King, and sneered at Xu Qian, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, saying that he was wronged, but it was just a brainless act made without anger in his heart, and now it was exposed to see how he could justify himself.

"That's what the students mean." Xu Qian gritted his teeth and recognized, "The student is just not angry, why should the place of the student be handed over to others due to family problems, this place is not easy to come by, is it wrong for the student to just want to get ahead." Those who are rich and rich should be a high and oppressive person who is inferior, students know that they have no way to ask for help, so they have to make this decision, but also to seek the last bit of hope for themselves, if they can meet a reasonable adult, they can end up with a justice for students. ”

Hong Ming secretly sighed that he was a person who dared to do things, but he was more than smart and not talented, otherwise he would not have let people like Xu Liang be deceived.

"The time has come for the prince." The official interrupted, not to mention any mood in his heart, whether it was certain or uncertain, there had to be a result.

"Do your own." Xi Chao said to the officials, "This king has his own measure. ”

When the official heard this, his eyes crossed his mind, and he went to look at the chief examiner, Prime Minister, what should he do next?

Ouyang Ye couldn't see what kind of medicine was sold in the Wing King Gourd, so he thought a little about taking someone to do his job first, and then discuss the rest of the things.

"Pass it on, the laboring forbidden army accompanies the king to guard, everyone works hard, and after the end, Fengyang Building will set a few tables to reward everyone." Xi Chao instructed Hong Ming to go down.

"Don't worry, master." Hongming immediately went to do what he had delivered before.

After a while, the chief examiner came back, and was just about to open his mouth to ask what to do with the three kneeling people, when Xi Chao took a step forward and spoke.

"Let's move a few cases." Xi Chao instructed the nearby forbidden army to do it, and it was enough to take it directly from the hall.

A few chairs were ready, and Xi Chao looked at Ouyang Ye, "What about the test questions, give this king a copy." ”

Ouyang Ye and the others didn't know what they were doing, and they couldn't see what the Wing King was going to do, so they didn't dare to go and get a copy.

The test questions are rolled into a volume, which is convenient for placing in the small window in front of the self-numbered room. Xi Chao unfolded a look, the topic is okay, and the difficulty of selecting it from the Four Books and Five Classics is not too great. The focus should be on the third game after that.

The autumn festival is divided into three sessions, namely the 9th, 12th, and 15th, the first three days, the first test of the eight strands, the second test of the application and judicial judgment of the official's field, and the third session of the question, involving the countermeasures of people's livelihood issues, it is not easy to calculate the time.

Xi Chao stretched out the test questions into a roll and pointed at Li Lei and said, "I have a good heart for you." Give you the opportunity to sit there and answer the questions carefully. "The point is the case that moved out.

Hongming came back at this time, and saw Li Lei taking the test questions with both hands, and kowtowed to his master thankfully.

Xi Chao pointed out the forbidden army to go to Li Lei's room to get his utensils. He asked Ouyang Ye and the others if they would rather stand here or go back to the house to sit.

The officials were upset by the Wing King, and none of them were smooth, and whoever was willing to stand in a shady place, the young people might not be able to stand it. Not to mention people of some age like them.

"Look." Xi Chao didn't have the heart to make fun of the officials. He also ordered the forbidden army to move chairs.

Xu Qian lowered his head and bit his lip and was silent, Li Lei did not delay it is the best ending, as for himself, heh, don't be delusional.

Xu Liang looked up at the superior unwillingly, squirming his lips and wanting to say something but didn't dare to speak, he had done something wrong, and once he said something wrong at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Kneel." Xichao is not blind. The expressions and movements of the two of them came into view, and a cold voice spoke.

Something was brought. Li Lei found the pen and ink, laid out the paper and did not put down the pen first, the opportunity was still there, but it was a pity that Xu Qian did not have the opportunity to be the same as himself, sighed with emotion, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and carefully considered the literary thoughts.

At this time, Xi Chao suddenly opened his mouth and had the heart to try, and deliberately reminded Li Lei, and said with a little deep meaning: "Write as required." ”

Li Lei was stunned, and his mind was instantly confused, the sentence of the Wing King seemed to have a different meaning, not like the tone of the previous reminder to the candidates, so this sentence is according to the requirements, what are the requirements? Is it the original question on the test paper or the impostor question mentioned by the Wing King before? I was dizzy for a while, and I couldn't put down a pen.

The official sitting down felt quite strange when he heard this, what did the Wing King mean by this? Why would a good person say such a vague sentence? Is it to embarrass the candidates or is there something else? It turned around and formed a mess, and the head was bigger.

Hongming has been following his master for a long time, and he can see a thing or two of his inner meaning from his words and deeds, and he has deep sympathy for Li Lei.

Li Lei was unsure which one to write, knowing that the Wing King had the intention to make things difficult, but he couldn't leave a bad impression on this, so he gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind, put pen to paper, and then wrote on the test questions.

Once Li Lei was settled, he got rid of the qiē around him, his thoughts gradually became clear, and his thoughts flowed like a god.

After drinking a cup of tea, Xi Chao raised his hand and nodded at the two kneeling people, Hong Ming instantly realized a smile on his cheeks, and beckoned the forbidden army to move two more square tables and chairs, and even the two of them took the study room and set it up.

The test questions are given to them, and they are answered here, and before they find out a qiē, this king believes in fairness, and gives you two a chance to cherish yourself. Although Xi Chao knows the result, it still depends on the level of the two of them, and he has an excellent explanation for the outside world's controversy, and it is also a kind of entrustment for the two of them.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Xu Qian took the lead in thanking him, even happier than pie falling from the sky.

Xu Liang was naturally happy, compared to Xu Qian's fifteen, he only had five points, the reason was that the place where the answer was answered, not the nervousness caused by the examiner, but another layer of ulterior meaning.

Xu Liang has made two preparations before doing the whole thing to ensure that he does not fall off the list, one is to enter the examination room in the name of Xu Qian, he has no quota, he has not been able to show talent before, he bought one in the name of the Xu family's imperial businessman, after all, the purchase is not insured, and the township test must be taken in Beijing to be taken in a unified manner, in order to prevent business trips, cuò in the name of the Xu family to send a large amount of silver up and down.

Taking the exam as Xu Qian will not make the examiner suspicious, after all, there is a bottom to check, and he will change his name when he is good before the release of his high school list, of course, some of these details cannot be ignored, and he is naturally afraid that others will recognize Xu Qian's identity, these people must be done well in advance, fortunately, the name of the Xu family is really easy to use, and those hillbillies are very easy to dispel.

Followed by the test questions, the test questions have always had different leaks, nothing more than the secrets of whether they are done or not, Xu Liang knows that his level is limited, how can he forget this level if he is so easy to calculate, and he inquired about giving gifts to pull the banner of the Xu family to make tiger skins, and finally saw its effect for the sake of the new emperor of the Xu family being valued by the emperor.

I didn't expect that people were not as good as heaven, and the damned Xu Qian didn't know how to make trouble, and almost ruined his plan, but fortunately, in the face of no effective evidence, King Yi had to deal with it leniently, and he had another chance to refer to it, but unfortunately he was not high for a moment, and he was poured cold from head to toe.

Thinking of blatantly cheating in front of the examiner, the difficulty is not small, the written manuscript can't be revealed, the key is that the winged king changes the question on the spot, so that he is completely blind, the examiners can't help the winged king, so they have to comply, and the test questions in their hands can't be grasped like a hot potato.

Oh, how is it possible to write a strategy on the topic of pretending to refer to someone else's identity! Knowing that the Wing King was tempting but had to deal with it head-on, once he refuted himself, he showed his feet, the lie was exposed, and a qiē plan would be stillborn, and he really lost the money and folded himself, what did he want!

Xu Liang thought a lot when he got up, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly to find an official who was covering up for him, and quickly handed over his eyes for help, and instantly withdrew it for fear that others would see the clue.

After kneeling for a long time, Xu Qian staggered to his feet, took the test questions and walked to one of the tables to stand still, stabilized his mind and laid out the paper, and examined the questions again, thinking about how to answer the questions in his mind, and the Wing King did not make the same reminder as he reminded Li Lei. (To be continued......)
