"If you are free, go to Fenghong to find a Master Huang, who has a pair of yin and yang eyes and can be psychic. It's famous, maybe you can get the answer from him. Descend the dragon, remember, follow your heart, you have a big thing to do, don't let anyone become your fetters. ”

Three days later, Master Huang finally received Liu Jinlong. Master Zhao was not in Fenghong, Zhang Zhanying and Duan Zishou didn't find anyone to drink, so they had to accompany Liu Jinlong to wait for Master Huang.

"The second son's heart is not broken, how can he complete the great cause of redressing grievances?"

"I am indeed grateful to the girl, but I can't talk about the unbroken love, I just feel ashamed of her." Liu Jinlong said.

"Whether it's true or not, you have to ask yourself." Master Huang asked: "Did the brother of the second prince ever say that Yu Mengxi, an ordinary woman, entered the imperial thief and held the important position of deputy head of the emperor?" ”

"I haven't talked about it, and I'm very confused."

"Some people don't die."

“…… What does the master mean by this? Can Yu Mengxi have an immortal body? ”

Master Huang shook his head: "It's not that she has an immortal body, it's you, Liu Jinlong." To be more precise, the Wolf Clan's Tomb gives you a choice, that is, the different paths of people and ghosts, and it is Mengxi who uses her contract to fulfill you. Trading your life sounds incredible, but that's the way it is. ”

Liu Zhenlong hurriedly asked, "Since the master is so clear, is there a solution to this matter?" ”

"I can't figure it out for a while."

Zhang Zhanying couldn't understand what they were saying, and Liu Zhenlong shook his head helplessly.

Master Huang continued: "There is no solution for a while, and there are ...... two, three, and four hours."

"Can you tell me about the master's method?"

"Secret Marriage."

Duan Zishou said: "The underworld marriage is for two dead people, the second son lives well, you ......"

"What you see with your own eyes is not true, life is not necessarily life, and death is not necessarily death. Mr. Duan, this is the way of channeling. ”

Although Master Huang's words were a bit like a charlatan, Liu Jinlong couldn't control it so much, and asked, "What conditions are needed and how long?" ”

"I need to go to the grave again, but not now, I have some skills that I need to teach you."

"May I be taught by the Master."

"I can't learn this skill in three days or two days, at least one year, at most three years, you are smarter, maybe faster."

The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what medicine Master Huang was selling in his gourd, but now that he had come, they could only believe him.

At the same time, thousands of miles away in the Black Country, Queen Ma is also worried.

"Queen, the exorcist's assassination of Liu Baohu failed, and now Liu Baohu and Wang Xiu have been escorted to the Lingcheng prison for protection, and it is estimated that there is no chance to start."

"What!"

"Halfway through, a few masters of the rivers and lakes came to the rescue, and their martial arts were extremely high. It is said that one of them is Zhao Shuangxian, the head of the Fenghong faction. ”

"It's the No. 1 Jianghu master in the Dou country...... Even Zhang Binglan, who is at the top of the list of military generals in Dou Guoda, is under him, why would he make a move? ”

Although Jin Yitian was just a puppet of Queen Ma, he also put on a concerned look: "What about the casualties of the exorcists?" ”

"The dead are dead, the fleeing are fleeing, even the head of Hong is dead, and Mr. Qiao's whereabouts are unknown...... Few people have returned. ”

……

Nine months later, Changling.

"Your Majesty, this annual imperial examination is about to start again."

Yin Tingchang said to Father-in-law Wei: "The prince and the others have been out for almost a year, right?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Uncle Lin first let them stay in the Changling camp for three months, learn the military and political system, practice some knives, guns and sticks, and then went to the north, although it is a little cold, but it is also an experience for the princes. Uncle Guo came to report a few days ago, saying that among the three princes, the prince has made the most progress, and I am afraid that if he is sent back, it will not be the original him. ”

Yin Tingchang laughed: "I don't know my good prince yet? Timid and small, his mother is pampered, if his uncle hadn't forced him to learn, wouldn't he have learned? By the way, how are Yuan'er and Ji'er, have you learned anything? ”

"Uncle Lin said that the three princes have also made great progress, this is the great prince......"

"Needless to say, Huai'er and Ji'er are the smartest of these princes, and the two of them are the most liked by me, although Yuan'er is not as good as his two younger brothers, but his performance over the years is also in my eyes, and he does have a big brother in front of his younger brother." Yin Tingchang said: "When I come back this time, I will approve the eldest and third to go out to build the palace by themselves, they are not young, I am afraid that they will not be able to stay in this palace." ”

"It's still thoughtful and thoughtful."

"In this matter, ask Old Prince Yue to come to the capital and let him help the two emperors do these things. After the imperial examination, I have to go to Ju in person, and now the relationship between Hei and Dou is complicated, and we need the help of Ju. ”

"It's already being arranged." Gonggong Wei said.

"Who is the chief examiner of this imperial examination?"

"According to last year's regulations, the literary examination was personally supervised by the head of the Rite Pavilion, but the Rite Pavilion has been busy with affairs recently, so it was replaced by the head of the Agricultural and Commercial Pavilion, Li Ji, and Mr. Li Lao to invigilate the examination. If you want to take the martial arts test, let the Military Aircraft Pavilion do it, Li Cun can do it now, Your Majesty can rest assured. ”

"Okay, I don't have to worry too much about these things, I'm old, and some things are just left to the people below to do. However, we must pay attention to delegating power not too much and too much, and pay attention to balance. ”

"The emperor is wise."

"But you still have to ask Li Zhen to come and see me, favoritism and fraud in this examination room are not uncommon, many officials were implicated last year, I can trust Li Lao, it is better to directly let him secretly investigate fraud and buy joints."

The so-called joint refers to the code for the examiner and the candidate to cheat through specific words on the paper. During the reign of Zhenzong Jingde of the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial court formulated two examination rules that were of great significance in the history of the ancient imperial examinations: one was to blur the name, and the other was to transcribe. Blurring the name is to cover the candidate's name, place of origin and other items on the test paper with paper paste, so that the examiner who marks the test paper does not know who made the paper at hand; Transcription is after the candidate submits the paper, and the transcription staff hired by the examination room will recopy all the test papers, and then submit them to the examiner for review, so that even the examiner's handwriting can not be recognized by the examiner. However, just after the two anti-cheating measures, namely the sealing of the name and the transcription of the book, there was a new "countermeasure" for cheating, that is, the order of the joint to hand over the note. Specifically, it means that the candidates collude with the examiner to cheat, make an appointment before the exam, and use what words are used as marks in a certain place in the poem in the test paper.
