The government hall, the Ministry of Rites and other places are not very far from the palace inside, and in less than half an hour, several ministers of the government hall and the ten examiners of the palace examination came to the hall of the vertical arch hall one after another.

Zhao Zhen is a diligent emperor, in addition to the great court, the hall of the vertical arch hall is also the place where he and the prime ministers discuss and deal with government affairs, and several ministers of the government hall and the Privy Council are frequent visitors here, although they don't know what Zhao Zhen has to do with them, or walk into the hall with a calm face.

And the examiners of this palace examination, except for Tang Jie, are all noble officials such as Hanlin Bachelors, and it is the first time they come to the center of the power of the Great Song Dynasty, and they will inevitably speculate in their hearts.

"The official family, everyone is here,"

After everyone came, Wang Zhongzheng came to Zhao Zhen and whispered.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Zhen nodded, took Yang Zheng's answer sheet and walked out.

"Wechen has seen Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhen walked into the conference hall, and all the officials hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Flat, sit"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said in a harmonious voice.

"I called you Aiqing because of an answer sheet for this palace exam, Tang Aiqing, you take a look first, and show it to everyone..."

After everyone sat down, Zhao Zhen handed the answer sheet in his hand to Xiao Huangmen, and said lightly to Tang Jie and the examiner.

Tang Jie took the answer sheet from Xiao Huangmen's hand for some reason, and what caught his eye was ten neat and neat "C" character markings.

"Back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that this article is extremely absurd, there is nothing to say..."Tang Jie closed the answer sheet and handed it to the examiner at the next head, and said calmly, he is a famous direct minister and minister, this article is all based on the premise of overseas islands, Yang Zheng, a seventeen-year-old boy, how can he clearly know the location and humanity of this island, it must be whimsical.

"Wechen seconded the ......"

"Wechen seconded the ......"

After reading it, the last examiner respectfully returned the test paper to Zhao Zhen, thinking that Yang Zheng's answer sheet was nonsense.

"Well, Wen Aiqing, take a look"

Zhao Zhen didn't speak, and handed the answer sheet to Wen Yanbo.

Summoned the minister because of an answer sheet, Wen Yanbo and others had long guessed in their hearts who answered this test paper, Wen Yanbo glanced at the score after getting the answer sheet, and looked at the text curiously.

Wen Yanbo is not an ordinary official, as the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, his insight and mind are not comparable to ordinary officials, he did not directly deny it, but carefully read the answer sheet twice.

After reading it, he handed it to Pang Ji of the next head, and he didn't speak for a while, obviously thinking about something.

After Pang Ji got the answer sheet, he quickly read it, unlike other officials, Pang Ji fought against Western Xia in the northwest for several years, and knew that if the problem of the source of war horses was solved, how huge the improvement of the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty would be.

After reading it five times, Pang Ji handed the answer sheet to the three envoys Tian Qian, the two prime ministers of the political affairs hall and the three ministers Tian Qian, and it took the three ministers almost an hour to read the answer sheet.

"Your Majesty, this matter must be kept secret!" The three ministers glanced at each other, and Wen Yanbo got up and said solemnly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's events must not be spread outside, and violators will be punished for treason!"

Zhao Zhen said lightly to everyone, and his plain words were resolute.

"Your Ministers obey!"

Tang Jie and other important ministers are okay, and the other examiners are eager to leave the place of right and wrong immediately, so as not to know when they will be raided and exterminated, although the Great Song Dynasty does not kill scholars, but if it is related to treason, Zhao Zhen will not care whether you are a scholar or not.

"From Weichen's point of view, this article is reasonable, Tamna Island Weichen has seen in the book of the former Tang Dynasty, although the farther Ezo Island is far north of Fusang Kingdom, I think it can be verified, the only question is how did the Captain of the Horse know about this place, and how did he know that this place is suitable for raising horses?"

Wen Yanbo said respectfully to Zhao Zhen.

"Well, Aiqing has a point!"

Wen Yanbo's words entered Zhao Zhen's heart, and he was skeptical about the Ezo Island mentioned by Yang Zheng on the answer sheet, this is a distant place, and with Yang Zheng's experience, it can't be explained at all.

"Well, Zhongzheng, you personally go and bring Yang Zheng here!"

Zhao Zhen said to Wang Zhongzheng on the side.

"Yes, official!"

After the palace test, Yang Zheng still continued to study with the two teachers, but in view of Yang Zheng's terrifying learning ability, Dugu Xun and Jia Siquan had already relaxed their control of Yang Zheng.

Get up in the morning, take Ruyi to Dugu Mansion to report, Hu Yanshan doesn't know which Qinglou he was fooling around in last night, and he couldn't find anyone in the morning, Ruyi volunteered, wore men's clothes and followed Yang Zheng out, although Dugu Xun and Jia Siquan didn't know Ruyi's life experience, but they had a good impression of this knowledgeable little girl.

Dugu Xun and Jia Siquan, two idle old men, are a thousand satisfied with Yang Zheng's apprentice, and the only dissatisfaction is that Yang Zheng is learning too fast, which makes them lose a lot of fun in teaching.

In addition to Dugu Xun and Jia Siquan, who basically lives in Dugu Mansion, there are still two sons of Dugu Xun and their families, Dugu Xun's two sons are honest readers, the eldest is Yang Zheng's elder brother Dugu Cheng's calligraphy and painting are outstanding, but he has no interest in Jingyi, Dugu Xun can also see it, and devote himself to cultivating his youngest son Dugu Zhi, but unfortunately Dugu Zhi died of illness less than a year after marriage, leaving a wife of a daughter who was still in infancy Liu.

Dugu Cheng is in his forties, and his wife Zhang has two sons and two daughters, Nuoda's Dugu Mansion is actually relatively thin, and his ancestors left a few properties in Kaifeng Mansion, relying on the rent is enough for the expenses of Dugu Mansion, coupled with the filial piety of Dugu Xun's students, although Dugu Mansion's life is not rich, it is also a well-off level.

As soon as Ruyi entered Dugu Mansion, she was taken away by Dugu Cheng's eldest daughter Dugu Mei, Dugu Mei was very interested in Ruyi's martial arts skills, and she had been pestering her to learn for a long time.

Yang is listening to Dugu Xun in Dugu Xun's study to tell him about the mean, Yang Zheng has also read the book of the mean in later generations, at this time the mean is respected by readers, Dugu Xun is one of them.

After Dugu Xun's explanation, Yang Zheng listened to a monotonous and boring book in Yang Zheng's opinion, one spoke happily, the other listened intoxicated, and the time had quietly come to noon.

"Qinghe, how's that, is there anything you don't understand?"

Dugu Xun, who was dry-mouthed, took a sip of tea before saying to Yang Zheng.

"Students are ignorant, and there are indeed a few things that they don't know much about......"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Yang Zheng was about to ask when the door of the study rang softly.

"Big brother!" Yang Zheng opened the door and saw Dugu Cheng standing outside the door.

"Qinghe, there is a palace man named Wang Zhongzheng outside the door, saying that the official family wants to see you," Dugu Cheng said softly to Yang Zheng.

"This," Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment, Zhao Zhen should be looking for him because of his answer sheet in the palace exam, and looked at Dugu Xun with some embarrassment, the most important thing for this teacher is to give up halfway, and the middle mean said the beginning.

"Let's go", Dugu Xun waved his hand indifferently.

Yang Zheng walked to the gate of Dugu Mansion and took a look, and sure enough, there was a middle-aged eunuch in a green robe waiting with a few small yellow doors, and there was a sedan chair behind him.

"Please, please!"

As soon as Yang Zheng went out, Wang Zhongzheng said respectfully.
