Some things are like this, before they are revealed, the surface is full of flowers, and there is not a little dirt to be seen. Everyone also opened one eye and closed one eye and didn't look inside, but ......

Once you really tear away the superficial illusions, you will find that things are far more severe than they think.

For people in the officialdom, scientific examination fraud is a very common thing, and there are always a few people who rely on means to get to the top every year, and everyone has long been accustomed to it, and they don't think that scientific examination fraud is so strict.

In the triennial scientific examination, there are problems of one kind or another every year, and everyone ignores them and ignores them, and the drawbacks accumulate more and more until they ......

One day, these shortcomings erupted in a blowout, which made these officials understand that the backlog of things was so terrible.

"Leak the question, substitute for the exam...... Is our imperial examination system in Daqin rotten to this point? ”

"The imperial examination is an important way to select officials, but the imperial examination has become a bridge for several major families to pave the way for the disciples in the clan, is this still the selection of officials for Daqin?"

"I have been studying hard for more than ten years, but in the end I ushered in such a situation, and the sky is unfair."

……

Bad news one after another, not to mention the five princes in this case, even the old emperor can't suppress it, the only thing he can do now is to suppress the results of the palace test, and then send Lord Feng to deal with this matter, be sure to appease the students and calm down the matter.

Yes, even at this moment, the old emperor still hoped that the matter could be resolved peacefully, so as not to have civil strife in Great Qin.

"Obey." As the first assistant, Lord Feng is his duty to share the emperor's worries, even if he is not happy, he has to do it.

Besides, this matter should indeed not spread further, otherwise, all the scholars in Daqin will suspect the unfairness of the scientific examination and lose confidence in the imperial court.

Lord Feng left in a hurry, not caring that it was already dark at this time, so he went directly to Shuntian Mansion to calm down the complainant first, so as not to have an accident.

After Lord Feng left, the emperor let everyone disperse, as for the five princes and Qin Xiaoyan?

The emperor saw that Qin Lianyan's face was pale, but he looked stubborn, he was angry and distressed, and finally he couldn't bear it, and asked Qin Lianyan to go back.

And the Five Princes?

Although the old emperor is old and mediocre, he is not so mediocre that he can be deceived by others, and the leakage of questions in this scientific examination is absolutely inseparable from the five princes, so ......

The fifth prince and Lord Kang continued to kneel in the main hall. The old emperor even strictly ordered the palace people not to send water or food to the five princes.

If the five princes were struck by lightning, they reacted and pleaded with the old emperor in pain, but the old emperor was unmoved.

When Gu Guifei received the news, Pear Blossom ran to the old emperor to plead with tears, but the old emperor didn't see her at all, and directly asked her to be placed under house arrest in the palace.

The fraud in this scientific expedition will inevitably become a big scandal during the reign of the old emperor, and the old emperor is eager to kill the five princes at this time, how can he let people intercede for him.

The old emperor was in a bad mood, everyone in the palace didn't want to be relaxed, and the palace maids and eunuchs were terrified, for fear of touching the moldy head of which master and dying in vain.

The concubines also couldn't settle down one by one, for fear that this matter would implicate themselves or their sons, and they prayed to God and Buddha one by one to hope that the matter would be concluded as soon as possible, and the big things would be turned into small things and small things.

After Gu Guifei was placed under house arrest by the old emperor, she scolded the troublemakers in the palace, saying that they didn't know how to lift, and they smashed a lot of things in anger. After the old emperor found out, he just asked Gu Guifei to smash it, and all the smashed things were not repaired, and it was up to her to see what she used for decoration.

Gu Guifei didn't even dare to smash things now, she only dared to take out her anger at the palace maid.

After Gu Qiancheng had dinner in the palace, he was left by the old man Feng and asked her to play chess with him.

When Gu Qiancheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows and responded.

She knew very well that it was fake for Old Man Feng to leave her to play chess, and it was true to leave her here and not let her go out.

Old Man Feng probably guessed that she was responsible for the leakage of the scientific examination. After all, she had been in contact with the people in Jiangnan before, and the leakage was also exposed from Jiangnan Juzi.

People grow old and become fine!

Gu Qiancheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and vaguely understood in her heart that although there were not many people in the capital who were as thorough as Old Man Feng, there would be no less, and she wouldn't be able to hide it for long.

However, when she started, Gu Qiancheng knew that this would be the result, and she had already prepared for it.

Gu Qiancheng didn't feel uneasy at all, holding the white son in his hand, and each one of them fell just right, so that the old man Feng didn't know what to do with her.

Halfway through the chess game, Old Man Feng saw that Gu Qiancheng's heart was still the same, and he was not affected at all, so he had to take the initiative to ask: "You say, what do you mean by doing this?" "Except for carrying the black pot for Qin Xiaoyan, Gu Qiancheng can't get any benefits.

Gu Qiancheng knew what the old man was asking, and he didn't pretend to be stupid, and replied very seriously: "It's still a Qingming in the world." ”

But no one will believe this answer, and neither will the old man believe it.

"Obviously you can play chess, but every time you play according to the chess score, can't you take it seriously?" perfunctory with such an answer, he really thinks he is an old storyteller in a teahouse, and he only knows how to make up stories of kindness, beauty and justice.

"I've always been serious." Gu Qiancheng raised his head and looked at Old Man Feng with a sincere expression.

The answer she just gave was definitely what she was talking about, but no one believed her and couldn't help it.

"Indeed, perfunctory and serious." Old Man Feng snorted angrily, and directly dropped his finger to block Gu Qiancheng's way, "Forcing yourself to have no way out, is it interesting?" "Gu Qiancheng offended the five princes to death this time.

"Now that you've made your choice, you can't swing from side to side. Sacrifice a little when necessary in order to obtain greater benefits. Gu Qiancheng didn't care about the chess pieces that were blocked by Old Man Feng at all, and directly opened up a new battlefield in another place.

In a blink of an eye, Old Man Feng was blocked by Gu Qiancheng again, and Old Man Feng was so angry that he choked, but before he could think of a countermeasure, the next person reported it, saying that Feng Bijin was back.

Old Man Feng couldn't let go of the chess game, so he asked his subordinates to call Feng Bijin over, but before he could say a word, Feng Bijin revealed that Qin Xiaoyan had been kneeling in the main hall for a day and had been released from the palace by the emperor.

"Kneeling for a day?" When Gu Qiancheng heard the news, he immediately stood up, "Old man, I'm really sorry, I have to go back." Let's go down here for this game, and we'll continue another day. ”

After speaking, the old man confessed to the old man and left in a hurry......

Old Man Feng gritted his teeth when he looked at Gu Qiancheng's departing figure, but he didn't stop him, just looked at Feng Rujin with a sigh......

He is such a good grandson, why doesn't he even have a chance?
