The old emperor handed over the scientific expedition to the five princes, and indeed gave birth to the idea of letting him install people and cultivate cronies.

As long as the five princes do a good job and balance the forces of all parties, even if all the lifters in this year's examination are the five princes, the old emperor can open one eye and close one eye, and these movers are still young, and by the time they are reused, he will have already died.

It's just that now it seems that things are quite big, and it seems that only he, the emperor, doesn't know about it?

The old emperor looked at the five princes thoughtfully, but it was a pity that the five princes were telling the old emperor in a high-spirited manner, and the students gathered outside the tribute courtyard were so obedient and cooperative under the majesty of the emperor that they didn't notice the old emperor's gloomy face at all.

Qin Xiaoyan stood aside, taking in the full view of this scene, and couldn't help but show a playful smile.

This is the difference between growing up pampered and growing up alone. The former only sees himself, but the latter must be observant of words and expressions so as not to cause unpleasantness.

After boasting and praising the emperor in a lot of words, the fifth prince finally concluded: "Father, under your rule, the Haiyan River is clear, the people are rich, and they live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Regardless of the personal ability of the five princes, the five princes are really good in terms of speaking, and it is implied in and out of the words that if someone gathers to make trouble, it is the fault of the person who made the trouble.

The words of the five princes were extremely flattering, and this was exactly what the old emperor liked to hear, the old emperor's face softened a lot, seeing that the five princes were about to escape, or only accept a small punishment, but at this time, ......

A person who looked like a little eunuch hurriedly walked in, whispered a few words in the ear of the old emperor's henchman eunuch with a look of urgency, and the henchman eunuch's face changed slightly, and he quickly stepped forward and said beside the old emperor: "Your Majesty, the Tribute Courtyard is full of students, and those students are reciting the "Shuo Mouse" in the Book of Poetry outside the Tribute Courtyard. ”

"Shuo Rat" is about a rat stealing food, but it is actually an expression of resentment against the corrupt and inactive rulers who eat the corpse, as well as the yearning for a clean and prosperous future.

This was simply a slap in the face of him, the emperor, the old emperor was furious, and lowered his voice and said: "Old Five, you really have to disperse the students outside the Tribute Academy?" ”

Although the fifth prince didn't know what was going on, it could be seen that the old emperor's face was not good-looking, so he immediately knelt down and said: "Back to my father's words, when the sons and sons passed, they had already dispersed consciously, and no one made trouble. ”

"Really?" The old emperor made it clear that he didn't believe it, "You said that there was no one making trouble outside the Tribute Courtyard, so who is the person who is sitting at the gate of the Tribute Courtyard and reciting the Book of Songs?" ”

The emperor's voice was not small, and the students who participated in the palace examination in the palace were startled, and some of them even fell their pens on the ground and stained the scroll.

The others didn't dare to write anymore, and sat there honestly one by one, except for a few people, all of them were frightened and white-faced, and there was no demeanor at all.

In the eyes of the old emperor, this is not on the table. His face couldn't help but look ugly again, according to the old emperor's temper, he should have stopped the palace test at this time, but no.

The triennial scientific expedition, no matter how dirty it is in private, cannot be exposed on the surface.

"Silence," the old emperor opened his mouth and called Qin Silence's name.

In any case, Qin Xiaoyan is indeed capable.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson is here." Qin Shiyan walked out, a touch of helplessness flashed on his face.

You don't have to think about it to know that the emperor must have asked him to wipe the buttocks of the fifth prince.

Sure enough, the old emperor not only asked Qin Lianyan to take people to deal with the affairs outside the Tribute Academy, but also asked Qin Lianyan to be in charge of the palace examination.

Things have come to this point, and the old emperor still doesn't listen or watch, and insists on covering the lid. And this is definitely a thankless task, if you do it well, the world will scold you, and if you don't do it well, the old emperor will be unhappy.

When the fifth prince heard that the old emperor would take full responsibility for the scientific examination, he was fully entrusted with Qin Xiaoyan's responsibility, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he always felt that his things had been robbed, but then he was glad that he had come out for the dead ghost.

That's right, the old emperor's move seems to be a favor for Qin Xiaoyan, but in fact, it is to push Qin Xiaoyan out to carry the black cauldron.

However, Qin Xiaoyan is so easy to speak, what the old emperor says?

Knowing that it is thankless and should be done, that is not called capable, that is called stupid.

Qin Xiaoyan didn't say a word, and knelt down directly: "Grandpa Huang, this year's scientific expedition has been presided over by Lord Kang, Lord Kang is the mentor of the fifth uncle, and the grandson doesn't know anything halfway, so he has no way to start." Moreover, the grandson overstepped his responsibilities and took away the fifth uncle's errand, which was inevitably suspected of pampering and seizing the authority of the fifth uncle, and asked the imperial grandfather to collect the bonus life. ”

In front of the ministers and the ministers in the palace, Qin Shiyan directly pointed out the relationship between the imperial examination and the five princes. In this way, it is impossible for the five princes to clear their suspicions.

The fifth prince's face was unswerving, but he didn't dare to say anything because of his weak heart, and the old emperor also frowned, displeased Qin Shiyan's resistance, and said in a deep voice: "It's all for the sake of Great Qin, where is there so much between you and me, you kid is getting bigger and bigger." ”

The old emperor said this, Qin Lianyan had to refuse again, that is, he didn't know how to lift, but it was impossible for Qin Lianyan to take over this mess lightly.

"If the imperial grandfather insists on asking his grandson to deal with the follow-up of the scientific expedition, please also ask the imperial grandfather to allow his grandson to do one thing first." Qin Shiyan knelt straight in front of the hall, unaffected by the old emperor's anger in the slightest.

Even if he knelt down, he was still so proud that people didn't dare to despise him, and the five princes beside him were dim and irrelevant under his backdrop.

If you want the horses to run, you have to give them grass first, and the old emperor asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Grandson asks the emperor's grandfather for permission, so that the sons who are participating in the palace examination today can take the test again." Qin Shiyan's voice was not loud, but the content of his words was shocking, more than half of the students in the hall were pale and trembling, and a small number of them had a sneer.

The chief examiner, Lord Kang and the five princes, were even more frightened and paralyzed, and Lord Kang even ignored etiquette and fell to the ground, "Your Majesty, no, absolutely not." How can it be child's play to investigate any national event. ”

The fifth prince was so frightened that he almost lost his voice, and when he heard Lord Kang's words, he calmed down, and said righteously: "Father, Lord Kang is right, the scientific examination is a major event for the selection of talents for the country, and all the people present will be important ministers of the country in the future." Wouldn't it be humiliating to ask them to retake the exam now because of something unwarranted, and how they would work with their colleagues in the future. It is very inappropriate to say that this move is very inappropriate, and please think twice about it. ”

"His Royal Highness Qin joked that he would raise his sons to retake the exam, which is not only disrespectful to the lifters, but also an insult to my Great Qin's scientific examination system, and please think twice."

Lord Kang echoed at the right time, singing and harmonizing with the five princes, pointing out that Qin Xiaoyan had bad intentions......
