No one is perfect, and no one is omnipotent.

Because he didn't understand the imperial examination system and didn't pay much attention to it, Ye Xun didn't know that the exam questions were actually made by Yang Sichang.

Of course, if the emperor is okay and is knowledgeable, for a big exam like this, the exam questions should be made by the emperor himself, but don't say that the emperor has a problem, there is no problem and he doesn't know how to read! Therefore, Yang Sichang, on behalf of the cabinet, is very willing to make decisions for the emperor, and in their hearts, there is no idea of going on like this forever.

After returning the evidence he had seen to Ye Xun, Yang Sichang's face also returned to calm, and he said in a deep voice: "What does my father-in-law plan to do with these people?" ”

I can think of it with my ass that Ye Xun plans to take this opportunity to clean up some people again.

"The imperial examination is for the country, and now someone is openly leaking the examination questions, which is corrupting the good atmosphere of the Ming imperial examination and a blatant provocation to the law, so I think it should be severely punished."

Ye Xun said that the righteousness was awe-inspiring, as if he was some kind of good citizen.

Yang Sichang was obviously a little absent-minded today, and nodded and said, "Then tomorrow!" After the scientific examination begins, the exam questions will be unsealed, and only then can it be considered conclusive, but don't implicate too much"

In general, Yang Sichang is still very satisfied with Ye Xun's attitude, and he has asked for his opinion in advance, which is equivalent to asking the cabinet first, which is the normal procedure.

"Lord Yang, is it uncomfortable there?"

Ye Xun finally saw that something was wrong, and looked at Yang Sichang suspiciously and asked.

Yang Sichang shook his head, and said in a somewhat sad voice: "The official is angry, even if you let it go, if there is anything, the official will take care of it for you."

This is obviously a bit contradictory, just now I told Ye Xun not to involve too much, and in a blink of an eye, let Ye Xun fix it casually.

Ye Xun didn't think too much about it, and after saying goodbye to Yang Sichang, he sent someone to inform Tian Ergeng to prepare to close the net.

Yang Sichang, who returned to the mansion, couldn't calm down for a long time, because during this time, only one person in his study had ever entered, and that was Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters.

Zhu Youzhen is different from his brother, smart and studious, although he seems to be a little resistant to Ye Xun, but he has great respect for Yang Sichang, and he also worships Yang Sichang as a teacher.

The literati have the stinky problem of not fooling, and they are still a prince, but Yang Sichang didn't think much about it, after all, the emperor is still alive, and the queen is also pregnant, once Zhu Youjian reaches the age, he must leave the capital to go to the domain, and their fate of master and apprentice will come to an end.

A few days ago, Zhu Youzhen came to him to ask questions, and at noon he rested in Yang Sichang's study, and when Yang Sichang came back from his errands, Zhu Youzhen had already left.

Although Zhu Youzhen is a prince, he is still a ten-year-old child after all, so Yang Sichang did not take any precautions against him at all.

But he never expected that there would be a leak of the exam questions, Yang Sichang was very reluctant to believe that this matter would be done by Zhu Youzhen, but at present, this kid is the only most suspicious person.

Yang Sichang was very embarrassed, but for the sake of the friendship between master and apprentice, and for the sake of royal face, he finally decided not to tell Ye Xun about it.

After pondering for a long time, Yang Sichang still ordered someone to invite Zhu Youzhen, if he didn't ask this matter clearly, he might not even be able to sleep soundly.

In fact, since Zhu Youzhen left the palace, he has been under Mu Zheng's strict surveillance.

The people who believed in the Wangfu were all transferred from the palace, and the chief eunuch beside Zhu Youzhen was Mu Zheng's henchman, so even Ye Xun didn't think that there would be problems on Zhu Youzhen's side.

It can be said that Ye Xun still ignores an important issue, that is, the desire for power and silver for eunuchs.

Zhu Youzhen is not very old, but he is worthy of being the dragon son and grandson of the Zhu family, and in a very short period of time, he used the means of an empty glove and a white wolf to make the chief eunuch sent to him by Mu Zheng succumb, so that when there was information about Zhu Youzhen handed over to Ye Xun, the trivial things were true, but there was nothing important.

I have to say that the two brothers of the old Zhu family are demonic enough, and their scheming is not ordinarily deep.

According to Ye Xun's assumption, after a year or two of calm and calm, Zhu Youzhen was killed violently, but this kid obviously thought of this and actually began to take the initiative to fight back.

Zhu Youzhen's idea was to make the scholars make a fuss, and then take the opportunity to ask the emperor to give them justice to expose the secret that his imperial brother was controlled by Ye Xun, so as to drive Ye Xun out of the capital.

Zhu Youzhen was convinced that the vast majority of courtiers were still loyal to the Zhu family, and as long as Ye Xun was driven away, he could return to the imperial brother, and as for his own succession of the imperial brother, it was not in his plan.

was found in the house by Yang Sichang and after entering the study, Zhu Youzhen happily admitted to stealing the exam questions and then sent someone to spread it.

Looking at Zhu Youzhen's calm gaze, Yang Sichang suddenly had an illusion, is this kid really only ten years old?

Zhu Youjian's figure is a little thin, but he is taller than his peers, and he looks coldly, more like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenager.

"Why? Do you know the consequences of this? ”

It's all at this time, and getting angry can't solve the problem, in fact, from the time Yang Sichang decided to hide Zhu Youzhen, he thought about losing his pawn to protect the handsome, and the crime was borne by the two unlucky examiners.

After listening to Yang Sichang's question, Zhu Youzhen said calmly: "Dare to ask the teacher, this world is from my Zhu family, or is it a thief?" Why is everyone enslaving the thief? Is there really no loyal and upright person in this court? Of course, the teacher can also hand over the student to the thief, the thief is in charge of the army, and the teacher is forced by the situation, and the student will never complain."

If these words were said by others, Yang Sichang would definitely refute him with facts, because what Ye Xun did was there, but it would be different if the Zhu family said it.

So far, many of the things Ye Xun has done are weakening the imperial power, so it is not surprising that the Zhu family hates him.

Without waiting for Yang Sichang to speak, Zhu Youzhen continued: "What happened to my imperial brother? How long has it been since I saw him? ”

Zhu Youzhen's voice is still very crisp, but every sentence is asked to the key.

Yang Sichang was silent again, Zhu Youzhen's question was actually a question he had been deliberately avoiding, sometimes he hoped that the emperor could recover as soon as possible, but subconsciously, there always seemed to be a different voice, so he continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Zhu Youzhen saw that Yang Sichang was silent for a long time, and thought that he was moved by his own words, so he suddenly stepped forward, and then knelt down directly in front of Yang Sichang, and said with a sad face: "Teacher, the student knows that you are loyal, and now that the monarchy is falling, and traitors are rampant, only you can save Daming from danger!" ”

Yang Sichang looked at Zhu Youzhen quietly for a while before he said slowly: "What do you want me to do?" ”

Zhu Youzhen left happily, full of anticipation, but he was too excited when he left, and he didn't even notice when Ye Xun appeared across the street
