The autumn sun shines on the ground through the sparse leaves, casting a spot the size of a copper coin, a breeze blows, the burnt yellow leaves with a pleasant rustle, one after another, the copper coins on the ground are also like real copper coins, emitting dazzling golden light.

"I said, if you stay here for a while, you will probably have to be buried alive by this leaf." Shaking the fan, Tang Xu walked slowly, his face full of helplessness.

"So what? Anyway, it's stuffy, autumn, how can it be called autumn without falling leaves? A lazy voice came from the recliner covered with leaves, Tang Jin stretched his waist and sat up slowly, looking sleepy-eyed, looking at Tang Xu's eyes with a little grievance, as if he was blaming him for disturbing his dreams.

"You guy." Tang Xu shook his head helplessly, closed the fan with a snap, sat down next to Tang Jin, and said with a serious face: "To be serious, it's been a month, how is the follow-up to that incident?" ”

"What else? That's his own son, do you think he will really punish him severely? Tang Jin knew what the other party was asking, and said with a disapproving expression.

"Of course I know he's not going to be punished heavily, but I have to know the final result, right? From this result, you can still see his status in the emperor's heart. ”

Tang Jin glanced at him, and a touch of helplessness flashed on his face. Tang Xu asked about nothing else, naturally it was the matter of the eldest prince. It has been almost a month since the end of the Grand Theater of the Golden Luang Palace on that day. In the past month, Tang Jin has solved three cases as the agent of Dali Temple Shaoqing, and has accumulated a lot of meritorious achievements, but there is still a long way to go if he wants to become a regular.

Of course, he didn't get nothing, at least as acting Shaoqing, he mixed with a large group of obedient younger brothers, plus the flying fish suit designed by himself, not to mention anything else, it was completely enough to pretend to be forced on the street.

In addition, the most important thing is the emperor's disposal of the eldest prince. said that it was a disposal, but in fact there was no penalty, not even a fine, just a punishment of being grounded for a month, and going to the ancestral hall to copy scriptures for two hours every day, which was considered a matter. To put it simply, the value of thousands of lives is the same as the amount of the eldest prince being grounded for a month.

"Tsk, it seems that this prince is quite favored." Tang Xu touched his chin and said.

"No, it's not that the eldest prince is favored, it's the emperor's protection." Tang Jin immediately denied the other party's statement. As early as after the punishment of the eldest prince came out, Tang Jin asked Tang Yun, how could the eldest prince be so virtuous that the emperor could be favored to this extent, and thousands of lives could be regarded as the end of a symbolic one-month grounding?

However, in the end, the answer he got was that it was not the eldest prince who was favored, but the emperor who protected the shortcomings, and this kind of thing was more or less their brothers

I've done it all, and in the end it's just some painless punishment, what to copy a hundred scriptures, what to go to the ancestral hall to pray every day, the eldest prince's grounding for a month and copying scriptures is already a very serious punishment.

Speaking of which, should Tang Jin be worthy of being a member of the old Tang family? The item of protecting the short seems to be written in the genes of the old Tang to see everyone, Tang Duo protects the short, Tang Yu also protects the short, Tang Jin is also a short-term goods, and the other princes don't know what it looks like, but there shouldn't be much of a gap when I think about it.

"So, the matter of the eldest prince is over like this?" Tang Xu asked quite unwillingly.

Tang Jin spread his hands, "What else can I do?" I've already made such a big fuss, and in the end, it's just that he has been grounded for a month, and if it's more serious, it will have to be petitioned by all the people, if it really gets to that extent, I guess it's not him who dies the most, it's the two of us. Are you really stupid to be the emperor? Can't see the catty in this? This time, if it is not a big deal, he will fulfill my wish, if it really makes trouble to the point of petitioning all the people...... Hehe. ”

Tang Jin didn't finish the last words, but Tang Xu was not stupid, and naturally understood the consequences. I saw that his brows were furrowed, and finally he sighed helplessly, and muttered: "I really want to go back to Khan Mengla with a group of soldiers, muskets and grenades directly into the palace, where is the need for such trouble?" Alas, a headache. ”

Tang Jin couldn't help but smile and shook his head, "Look, I used to say that I was reckless and direct, but now do you have such thoughts?" That's what I'm talking about, the more power you have in your hands, the easier it is to do things, and the intrigues are the ones who have nothing in their hands. However, I still say that, don't use the power of Khanmeng's side until you have to, although that can indeed win that position, but justification and rebellion to seize power, those are two concepts, and sometimes you still have to be faced, such as when you want to go to the history books. ”

Tang Xu nodded clearly, then temporarily suppressed the troubles in his mind, looked at Tang Jin and said, "Tomorrow is the day of admission to the Royal Academy, how about it?" Ready to get started? ”

"Prepare what?" Tang Jin asked curiously.

"Of course it's an endorsement.,It's said that on the day of admission, you have to assess the recitation of the four books and five classics.,There will be a lot of miscellaneous books interspersed in the middle.,It is said that astronomy and geography have to be examined.,The final test results determine the class.,And everyone is equal in the class.,There is no difference in status.,Just look at the results.,Are you sure you're okay?" Tang Xu said in disbelief.

Tang Jin was slightly stunned, then looked at each other like a fool, pointed to his head and said, "Can I forget you?" Those who can find the Four Books and Five Classics, Naturalist Chronicles, etc., have basically memorized them, and if they are not as good as understanding and simply looking at memorization, those great Confucians are not as good as me. place

What do I have to prepare? ”

I don't know why, looking at the appearance of this guy in front of him, Tang Xu always had a feeling that he took out a gun and killed him, but fortunately, reason stopped him, of course, more importantly, he believed that before he shot himself, Tang Jin had the ability to take out a gun and crash him, or get out of his own gun, after all, he started playing with the gun first.

"Humph! Talking to you pervert about this is simply making yourself unhappy. Before the words fell, Tang Xu went straight back to the study, he didn't have Tang Jin's brain, although the Four Books and Five Classics were memorized, but those naturalist chronicles were many and miscellaneous, don't think about it after memorizing them all, you can memorize a little bit.

The next day, Tang Jin and the two took a carriage together and came to the gate of the Royal Academy. Of course, the Royal Academy is just a joke in everyone's private voice, and its real name is "Guozijian", which is the same name as the famous educational institution in Tang Jin's previous life.

It's just that the same name is not the same fate, and the Guozijian here is basically the same as the one in Tang Jin's previous life except for a name. To put it bluntly, it is a larger private school, but this private school is not something that ordinary people can afford to go to, and only the children of the royal family can be eligible for admission, which is why it is called the "Royal Academy".

Before entering the gate, a group of little eunuchs dressed as scholars quickly responded, each found someone, and handed over the yellow cloth in his hand. It was not surprising that everyone who knew the rules long before they came, but the yellow cloth was tied to their eyes, and then they went to different places in the country under the leadership of various little eunuchs to be assessed.

Tang Jin didn't say anything, obediently tied the yellow cloth, and followed the guidance of the little eunuch. Guozijian entrance assessment, also known as class assessment, all the new students who enter the entrance in batches, word divisions, and then led by each little eunuch to the examination room, no sound can be made in the middle, violators will be disqualified from the assessment, and will be automatically assigned to the worst class. This is to avoid some new students who have gaps between each other from speaking out unexpectedly during this critical period of assessment, and at the same time to eliminate the possibility of cheating.

Tang Jin didn't care about this, he had already relied on the internal information of Dali Temple to memorize the map of Guozijian before he came, at this time he could clearly judge his location, and at the same time, according to the difference of true qi, he could judge that Tang Xu was behind him, and there were only two rooms at the end of the road between the two of them, that is to say, Tang Xu was next door to him, and during the exam, in order to avoid disturbing the candidates, it was forbidden to keep people in the courtyard where the candidates were located, except that someone would deliver meals regularly every day, There were only the two of them in the entire courtyard, which meant that it would be no problem to call out the answer directly when the time came.

"So, is the examiner too confident in his system?"
