Zhang Hou, Shen Bao, Cai Bei and others were all looking forward to seeing such a dramatic scene, wanting to see how Xia Xiang defended himself. If you make trouble unreasonably, you will commit the crime of bullying the king, not to mention fame, and even your life will be lost. It was because all the examinees had no intention of taking the test again at this time, and they all wanted to see what was going on.

"The two of you deceive the king, and one person copes with the palace test, only seeking speed, not thinking too much, and despising the scientific field. One person is not on the right topic, scribbling in one anger, and the two of you will be removed, as it should be, you two still dare to disrupt the temple test, do you still want to despise the saint? Wen Changju first buckled a big hat for the two of them and pressed it down, so that the two of them knew the difficulty and retreated, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense.

The emperor was far away behind the curtain, and he didn't know what the emperor's face was, just listening to the emperor's calm tone, Xia Xiang was even more determined in his thoughts - the emperor was not angry.

"Wen Qing, let's listen to Xia Xiang and Teng Zhengyuan." The emperor's voice paused, and he coughed slightly, "Xia Xiang and Teng Zhengyuan, you two don't have to worry, you don't have to be afraid, if you have any grievances, you will be in charge of your own affairs." Stand up and speak. ”

"Thank you." Xia Xiang got up and bent down slightly, "Shengshang, the student took the first exam, the second place handed in the paper, and the paper was staggered, but Wen Shangshu judged the student's paper to be invalid, and the student had no opinion, it was the student's fault......"

Wen Chang raised his eyelids and jumped a few times, the secret way is not good, Xia Xiang is really cunning, and he even has a back hand.

"Why are you staggered?" The emperor was also quite curious.

"The student will rewrite the questions he answered during the provincial examination, and then write the questions for today's palace examination, and when he handed in the papers, he did not read them carefully, and he took the wrong test papers." Xia Xiang's attitude was respectful and serious.

"So, you've written two articles at the same time, one old and one new?" The emperor was even more puzzled, "Why do you want to write the test paper at the time of the provincial examination again, what is the reason?" ”

"Back to the Holy Place, because the questions answered during the provincial examination have the meaning of echoing today's questions, students can rewrite them again, so that they can better solve the questions for today's holy propositions." Xia Xiang peeked at Teng Zhengyuan, and saw that Teng Zhengyuan looked calm, not panicked, and secretly surprised in his heart.

"Is that so?" The emperor said strangely, "I remember that the topic of the provincial examination was the theory of punishment and reward, and the palace examination was the civil prison endowment, and there was nothing in common, Xia Xiang, how do you solve the problem?" ”

""Minjian Fu", the student's solution is - Yun Qiyuan Sheng, Tianlin Zhaomin ......" Xia Xiang replied, "On the theory of punishment and reward, the student's intention is to suspect that the crime should be lenient, and the problem is to solve the problem - God has the virtue of a good life, and the saint has a generous grace ......"

The corners of Gao Hai's mouth grinned, and he almost didn't laugh out loud, if he hadn't been in the martial arts hall at this time, he would have jumped up and applauded. A good Xia Xiang, not only outstanding in writing, but also quite good at figuring out the holy will, when he read the paper at the time, he didn't think it was outstanding, but combined with the problem of "The Civil Prison Fu", there is a natural interest in the wonderful winding path. Xia Xiang is the first person who can combine the two into one when he solves the completely different topics of the provincial examination and the palace examination.

Wen Chang raised his eyes and closed his eyes, unable to hide the sadness on his face, Xia Xiang's talent was more than ten times higher than he expected. After trying his best not to let Xia Xiang participate in the palace examination, he didn't want to fall short, Xia Xiang was able to meet the emperor, and only after a few words of dialogue with the emperor, he catered to the holy will, what a demon!

"It's all heaven protecting the ancestors, how dare I? Hehe, haha. The emperor smiled heartily, "Come on, present Xia Xiang's article." ”

"Yes."

The chamberlain took the two articles of Xia Xiang's provincial test and the palace test, and handed them over through the curtain, and then there was silence in the curtain. After a while, I only heard the emperor cough. After a while, there was the sound of the emperor's fingers tapping on the dragon case. The hall was silent, and they didn't dare to make any movement, even Wen Changju held his breath, waiting for the emperor's final word.

"Teng Zhengyuan, what grievances do you have?" The emperor finally spoke, but he didn't say a word about Xia Xiang's test papers.

"Back to the saint, the student just handed in the first place, and I don't know what was wrong with being checked off by Wen Shangshu? After listening to Xia Xiang's words, the student suddenly remembered that the test paper handed in just now was also wrong, not a student article, but a plagiarism of Xia Xiang's article. Teng Zhengyuan said his grievances in a serious manner, "The essay written by the student himself is above the student's examination case." ”

What the? Plagiarize? Or admits plagiarism in front of the saint, is Teng Zhengyuan a bad brain or stupid? If you don't want fame, don't you want it?

"It turned out to be plagiarism? How daring! ”

"It's not just audacious, it's completely lawless!"

"No, Teng Zhengyuan and Xia Xiang didn't sit together, he has clairvoyance, how can he plagiarize Xia Xiang?"

"Also, how could he see Xia Xiang's article, it's nonsense."

"Nonsense!" Wenchang was extremely angry, and it was not good to attack on the spot in front of the emperor, but he was still so angry that his hands trembled, "Teng Zhengyuan, you deceived the monarch, the crime is unforgivable, you step down!" ”

"Let's hear him." The emperor was not angry, and coughed lightly a few times, "He not only beat the drum to voice his grievances, but also let him have a chance to defend himself." ”

"Holy Wisdom." Although Teng Zhengyuan was not as humble and in place as Xia Xiang's speech, his attitude was very respectful, "The student plagiarized the essay written by Xia Xiang during the provincial examination. Students think that Xia Xiang's articles are unbridled and magnificent, and there is something worth learning from students, so they write them down silently to seek inspiration. It was with the help of Xia Xiang's article that the students suddenly thought about it and completed the strategy of "Minjian Fu" in one go. It's just that when I handed in the paper, I was so excited that I took Xia Xiang's article to hand it in. Fortunately, the red pen of Wenshangshu was crossed out and became a waste volume, so I did not mistake the student for a literary thief. ”

Somehow, after hearing the word "thief", Wen Changju's old face flushed slightly, and Cai Bei's eyes kept jumping, restless.

"Shengshang, the minister thinks that Xia Xiang and Teng Zhengyuan are suspected of colluding, and the two deliberately disrupt the palace test, their hearts can be punished, and their actions can be killed."

One of the examiners stepped forward and wrote solemnly: "The minister asks the Holy Lord to severely punish the two people, remove their fame, and never hire them!" ”

Gao Hai's eyelids were raised, and he saw that the person on the book was tall and mighty, with a face like a black pot, with a beard, and at first glance he looked like a military general, but in fact, he was an authentic civil official, and he was the servant of the Ministry Xiong Shiwang.

"Xiong Shilang's words are wrong." Gao Hai saw that the time had come, and retorted, "Shengshang, the Great Xia Imperial Examination, inheriting the practice of the previous dynasty and innovating, Taizu Taizong opened the door to recruit talents for the Great Xia, and did not stick to one pattern to recruit people of insight in the world. How can there be a prosperous era of Great Summer today? ”

"Saint, Gao Shilang's words, gossip confuses the public, insults the saint, and Weichen ......" Wen Changju couldn't help jumping out, wanting to compete with Gao Hai.

"Ahem......" The emperor coughed a few times.

"The official family is not safe, can you let the official family save worry, stop arguing?" The chamberlain Chang Guan glanced at a few people, and then glanced at Gao Hai, "The official family has done their best to preside over the palace test today, if you really love the official family, you will say a few words." ”

Most of the people in the palace call the emperor an official, which is a cordial and respectful honorific title.

Gao Hai understood and immediately knelt down: "The saint forgives the sin, and the minister is guilty." Today is the main examination of the Holy Lord, and Weichen is only responsible for grading. ”

Wen Changju was extremely disdainful of Gao Hai's slave style of kowtowing at every turn, and suddenly heard Gao Hai's last sentence, he was shocked, and only then did he understand that today was the emperor's main exam, not him, he hurriedly crossed his hands and saluted: "Weichen is guilty, please make a decision." ”

The gauze curtain is windless and automatic, and there is no movement in the gauze curtain for a long time. After a long time, the emperor's slightly tired voice came: "I am a little tired today, so I will only take one exam." Wen Qing, present Teng Zhengyuan's test paper. ”

When the examinees heard it, they had joys and sorrows. Happily, candidates who did well in the first test do not have to worry about not doing well in the last two exams. The worry is that the candidates who did average in the first test have failed to hope for a super-level performance in the next two games.

Although Wen Changju was reluctant, he could only act according to orders. Teng Zhengyuan's waste paper and the second test paper were presented. The two scrolls were handed into the curtain, and after a while, the emperor exclaimed softly: "Hey, it's word for word, Teng Zhengyuan, you have a good memory." ”

"Xie Shengshang praised that the student has the ability to never forget ten lines at a glance since he was a child." Teng Zhengyuan's words were quite conceited, and he said, "However, the student only read the article written silently by Xia Xianggong Academy after the examination, and it is unknown whether the article written by Xia Xiangmo is exactly the same as the article he wrote during the Gongyuan examination." ”

As soon as he heard this, Wen Chang's face was like paper, and his body shook and almost fell on the spot. Gao Hai stretched out his hand to help Wen Changju, extremely concerned: "Wen Shangshu is not in good health?" ”

Wen Changju pushed Gao Hai away hard: "Villain, really villain." ”

Gao Hai smiled and straightened his waist: "Wen Shangshu has won the award, although the official position of the lower official is not as good as Shangshu, he is more upright than Shangshu, and he is a little taller." ”

Gao Hai's height is indeed a few points taller than Wenchang.

Wen Changju was so angry that he couldn't speak.

The emperor said lightly: "Xia Xiang, is the article you wrote silently exactly the same as when you took the exam?" ”

"Although students do not have the ability to memorize, they also believe that they can write their own articles word for word." Xia Xiang paused deliberately, "I'm just afraid...... There is no more proof. ”

"How can there be no proof?" Gao Hai took the opportunity to answer, "Compare the test papers of the Gongyuan Academy, and it will be clear at a glance." ”

"Come, transfer the test paper of Xia Xianggong Academy." The emperor's curiosity was fully mobilized.

"Yes." Chang Guan stretched his tone, "The official family has a purpose, and the Xia Xianggong Yuan Province will try the paper." ”

Not long after, the test paper of Xia Xianggong Yuan was transferred out and presented to the emperor's desk. At this time, Wen Chang's legs trembled, and he was almost unsteady on his feet. Gao Hai watched coldly, and secretly rejoiced in his heart that he had taken the right step, if he hadn't listened to Cao Yongguo's words at that time, he would have been the one with trembling legs today. He was extremely grateful to Cao Yongguo, and thought that he must say a few good words for Cao Yongguo in front of the emperor.

Generally speaking, the emperor will look at some of the top examination articles in the provincial examination in advance, and at the same time, the chief examiner and examiner will also blow in front of the emperor, focusing on the names of several candidates who are expected to win the championship. Because Xia Xiang was ranked extremely low, he was the last to make up for it, because the emperor had never seen his article.

The roll was handed into the curtain.

Wen Changju kept trembling, cold sweat, his face was pale, Gao Hai knew it, he smiled, and asked quietly: "Wen Shangshu is unwell, so he should rest and recuperate for some time, so he doesn't have to work so hard." The court and the court, although there are many places that rely on Wenshangshu, but they can't rely on Wenshangshu for everything, the court is full of talents, and Wenshangshu can recuperate with peace of mind. ”

Wen Chang raised his eyes and breathed fire, remembering Gao Hai's humility and obedience to him in the past, and then looking at Gao Hai's cynicism and schadenfreude at this time, he hated the blind dog-eyed and reused Gao Hai, and he couldn't wait to pull off Gao Hai's big head as a ball.

It's a pity that at this time, he has no power to turn the clouds and rain at all. Gao Hai admitted Xia Xiang at the last moment of the list, and when he learned that the matter was irreparable, he privately confessed to Cai Bei Haosheng, but he still never expected that in addition to Gao Hai, there was also a Teng Zhengyuan who dared to stand up for Xia Xiang in front of the saint during the palace test, and sang and harmonized with Xia Xiang, and staged a good show. The countermeasures he and Cai Bei drew up were completely useless.

"Cai Bei......"

What no one expected was that after Xia Xiang's test paper was handed into the gauze curtain, after a while, the emperor spoke, and when he opened his mouth, it was Cai Bei's name.

"The students are here." Cai Bei hurriedly lined up, lifted his robe and knelt down, "I wish Your Majesty a blessed bow." ”

When Cai Bei knelt down, he peeked at Wen Changju, who shook his head slightly, signaling him not to say more. Cai Bei nodded understandingly, remembering Wen Changju's repeated advice on the boat on the rain, although he was worried that the matter would be revealed, he firmly believed that with Wen Changju, everything would be solved.

"Who did you learn from?" The emperor suddenly asked a question that no one could have thought of.

"Back to the saint, the student learns from the scholar." Cai Bei replied truthfully, but he was afraid of criticism from others, "Virtuous people do not avoid relatives, and besides, on the scientific field, the name is transcribed, which can ensure justice." ”

"Teng Zhengyuan, who is your mentor?" The emperor did not answer Cai Bei's words.

"Back in the Holy School, the students only studied in private schools for a few years, and then taught themselves to study, and there was no teacher." Teng Zhengyuan was secretly frightened, who said that the emperor was sick, the emperor's heart was bright, and his wisdom was like the sea. The questions asked seem to be marginal, but in fact they are in crisis.

"Xia Xiang, who is your teacher?" The emperor's topic turned to Xia Xiang again.

"Back to the saint, Xia Xiang was cultivated by His Majesty's teachings." Xia Xiang's heart is as clear as a mirror, although the emperor is not safe in the dragon's body, but he can see everything clearly, and today the palace will not see the three princes and Hou Pingpan, presumably the emperor did it intentionally.

"Hehe, what a Xia Xiang." The emperor laughed happily a few times, and his voice revealed a little joy, but his tone suddenly became cold, "What a Xia Xiang, who claims to be the son of heaven, why did he do the shameless thing of plagiarism?" ”

Xia Xiang knelt down in a panic: "Holy Lord, the students are panicked, I don't know who they plagiarized?" ”

"Dare to quibble!" The emperor seemed to be furious, and suddenly threw a few test papers out of the veil, and the test papers spilled on the gold bricks, and slid in front of Chen's cover, "The article on your test paper does not match your handwriting today, and most of the sentences used in the article are plagiarized from Cai Bei's article, what else do you have to say?" ”

Chen Feng picked up the test paper on the ground, and Zhang glanced at each other, and the two quickly sorted it out and put it away.

Xia Xiang's voice trembled, as if he was frightened: "Saint, saint, can you let the students take a look at the students' Gongyuan exam papers?" ”

"That's right."

Listening to the emperor's permission, Chen Feng came to Xia Xiang and handed over the test paper. Xia Xiang only glanced at it, and he was ecstatic in his heart, Wenchangju, Wenchangju, I really didn't expect you to be so bold and reckless, if you don't get rid of the people who have worked hard for the world for ten years, I will read the sage book for ten years in vain, and I will not be surnamed Xia!

"Shengshang, the Gongyuan test paper, although it is a student article, it is not written by myself, I hope the saint is Mingjian." Xia Xiang knew that the opportunity could not be missed, and it was not time to tell the truth in person at this time.

As soon as these words came out, the words were shocked, and all the examinees were shocked for a while. In the Gongyuan exam, it is necessary to obscure the name and transcription, and Xia Xiang's words are tantamount to saying that someone is cheating. Needless to say, the cheater must be one of the examiners.

"Is that really the case?" The emperor snorted coldly, "Wen Qing, what do you have to say?" ”

Wen Changju could no longer stand steadily, and fell to the ground with a "plop": "Shengshang, Weichen is guilty, please Shengshang." ”

Well? Xia Xiang was stunned for a moment, he thought that Wen Changju would struggle a little, but he didn't want Wen Changju to admit it directly, but it was much beyond his expectations. Thinking about it again, I couldn't help but secretly admire Wen Changju's old treacherous slippery, if he was forced to admit it after quibbling again, he couldn't say that it would make the emperor angry. Rather than that, it is better to confess your sins now.

"Hmph, Wen Changju, are you still guilty? Do you still have me in your eyes? Do you still have the teachings of the sages in your eyes? Is there any imperial law? The emperor threw out a test paper again, "Cai Bei, are you guilty?" ”

Cai Bei was so frightened that he bowed his head to the ground at this time, and kowtowed again and again: "The student is guilty, and the student is guilty." The student was greedy for fame, plagiarized Xia Xiang's article, and destroyed Xia Xiang's article, so that he fell off the list. ”

Wen Changju bowed his head and confessed, Cai Beiqing knew that the general trend had gone, and not only was it unnecessary to resist stubbornly, but he also did not have the courage to dare to talk nonsense in front of the emperor, so he told the ins and outs of the matter in one breath. Of course, he didn't know that behind Wen Changju's plagiarism of Xia Xiang's article Li Dai Taozhuang, there was also the intervention of the three princes.

"Bastard!"

"Shameless scum!"

"Sven scum!"

"Not killing is not enough to make people angry!"

As soon as the examiners heard this, they immediately boiled over, regardless of the fact that they were in the martial arts hall, and no one was indignant, and they accused Wen Changju and Cai Bei of colluding to plagiarize Xia Xiang's article.

"Silence, silence!" Chang Guan shouted in a sharp voice, "What's the matter, if you want to rebel, you can't rebel?" ”

One sentence suddenly shocked the examiners and did not dare to say another word.

"Wen Changju, what else do you have to say?" The emperor called Wen Changju by his name, which shows that he was extremely dissatisfied with Wen Changju. This is the first time since the founding of Great Xia. He couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, he had presided over the palace examination more than ten times, and it was the first time he had seen such serious fraud in the field, and it was when he was sick that a sense of humiliation of being deceived came to his heart.

"Wechen is guilty, Wechen is guilty......" Wen Changju was paralyzed on the ground, trembling all over, and he knew very well in his heart that he was pushed down the fire pit by Gao Hai, Chen Feng, and Zhang is three people. Although the fire pit was dug for Xia Xiang by the instructions of the third prince, he buried himself in the end, who is to blame? The third prince only let him win Xia Xiang's fame, but did not let Cai Bei plagiarize Xia Xiang's test papers, it was he who wanted to help Cai Bei ascend to the throne, so he made an unwise move.

I can only blame myself for being too greedy and confused.

It's just that he obviously asked Gao Hai to destroy Xia Xiang's test papers, but Gao Hai didn't destroy them, why did he transfer Xia Xiang's test papers today, or did he let people make fake test papers? Who is behind the scenes? Is it Gao Hai, Chen Feng or Zhang?

No matter which of the three of them is, there must be a commander behind them, otherwise the three must not risk offending the third prince instead of putting him to death. So who is behind the trio? King Jing or King Qing?

"Gao Hai, knowingly committing crimes, knowing the law and breaking the law, favoritism, what crime should Wen Changju be guilty of?" The emperor doesn't ask others, but asks Gao Hai.

Xiong Shiwang secretly wiped a cold sweat, fortunately he didn't raise his head for Wenchang just now, the old man secretly made such a big mistake, and wanted to pull him into the water? It's really bad.

Chen Feng and Zhang glanced at each other, the two of them moved the corners of their mouths imperceptibly, and shook their heads at the same time, both knowing in their hearts that Wen Chang was in danger.
