Yu Youding thought that he had come early enough, but he didn't expect Lin Weiming to be earlier than him, and he thought about it, he hurried over to see Zhang Siwei without even returning home, not to mention his disciple who was the invigilator of the imperial history.

"Bingzhong," Zhang Siwei affectionately called Yu Youding's cousin, and said while ordering someone to pour him tea: "Guess you're coming over soon, it's for the more than 20 candidates, right?" ”

Yu Youding glanced at Lin Weiming in surprise and nodded: "You can't hide anything from Lord Shoufu, you are indeed here for those candidates." ”

"Actually, it's not Wei Ming who saw it, the first time he invigilated the exam, he couldn't see these cats, it was Wang Xijue who saw it, and now you are actually here for this, it seems that there are cats, guess who it will be?"

"It's nothing more than two people, one is Father-in-law Tian, and the other is naturally Zhang You - Your Majesty temporarily changed the exam questions, and the secrecy work was done well, and the exam questions were escorted in front of everyone's eyes, and the possibility of leaking secrets halfway can be completely ruled out - those questionable papers can also be corroborated, and they must be leaked in advance, and if you want to do this, you must be someone close to Your Majesty."

Zhang Siwei nodded, expressing his agreement with Yu Youding's analysis, but secretly he had already affirmed the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, and there was no doubt that it was Tian Yi. The last exam question was stolen by someone he found, and the two cooperated to get a lot of silver. But it is said that His Majesty learned a lesson this time, and it was not until before the exam began that he hurriedly wrote the exam questions and sent them to the Gongyuan, how did Tian Yi guess in advance?

It shouldn't be Zhu Yijun who took the initiative to tell him, right? This is a talent ceremony, no matter how trusting a person is, he can't be so confident, right?

Of course, he wouldn't say these words to Yu Youding, so he asked, "What have you decided to do?" ”

"I'm not sure, so I'm not here to discuss this with you. It stands to reason that you should tell Your Majesty, but Your Majesty is young and vigorous after all, and under the anger of Long Yan, he may not know how to deal with this matter. If it gets bigger, not only will my face be dull, but your majesty and your majesty will not have any brilliance on your faces......"

"What you said is indeed Lao Cheng's words for the country, both of us are in the cabinet this year, and His Majesty is also the first time to personally preside over the Spring Festival, we must take into account his face, and we can't let a mouse poop spoil a pot of soup. In this way, you go back and tell Wang Xijue not to make a public announcement, the rest is the three of us who know, according to me, swallow this matter in your stomach, the right to do not happen, what do you think? ”

"Your Excellency is still thoughtful, I listen to you, my lord." Yu Youding said, in fact, he had already guessed this kind of ending, and the reason why he still ran in person was just to pull a cushion, no one dared to guarantee that this matter would not go out of the way, and there was something to say about holding him accountable when the time came.

Zhang Siwei naturally also understands that Yu Youding's Xiao Jiujiu, the reason why he took over this matter, actually has his own plans. Lao Zhang Hong saw that he was a yellow flower of tomorrow, and he had to find another backer in the inner court, so Tian Yi naturally became the best candidate. has the foundation of the last time they cooperated to sell exam questions and pit Zhang You, of course, at this time, they can't hold Tian Yi back.

Of course, you can't take this responsibility in vain, you have to point to Tian Yi as soon as possible, so that he owes this favor.

Soon after entering Beijing, Fang Congzhe, Zhang Fuzhi and Zhu Guozuo and Li Tingji lived together, and then counting He Jigao and them, a total of 12 people, chartered a small courtyard house in Tongfu Inn, sang songs on the night before the exam, chanted poems against each other, and because of their like-minded interests, they had long become good friends who had nothing to say.

They all participated in the Spring Festival, and now they are coming back from the dragon gate together, along the way, they inevitably have to exchange their experience in the exam, and they all feel that they have played well, so everyone looks relaxed, looking forward to the future, and they don't feel tired along the way.

The only thing that is a little wrong is Fang Congzhe, he is the youngest among these people, but he talks the most on weekdays, but today he doesn't know what's going on, even when he asks him, he is very low.

At the beginning, everyone didn't notice it, but when they returned to the inn, Li Tingji was the first to notice that something was wrong, and asked, "Zhonghan, why do you feel that something is wrong with you today?" ”

Before the exam, Congzhe himself changed the words of the table, which was originally called Bolun, and I don't know which style he smoked, so it was changed to Zhonghan.

"It's okay, maybe I'm too tired." Fang Congzhe said weakly.

Li Tingji wanted to ask again, but a group of students in robes suddenly came in at the door, and the person at the head smiled and said, "Brothers, you are invited, how did you do in the exam?" ”

But it turned out to be a few candidates from Shanxi who lived in the courtyard next door, the leader was called Zhao Dongzhi, who was the head of the provincial township test named Xie Yuan, and the rest were also among the best.

He Jigao was more impulsive, and said impatiently: "If such a simple question is not good in the test again, don't come to participate in the Spring Festival, but a few brothers, I don't know how to play?" ”

was interrupted by this, and Li Tingji forgot to care about Fang Congzhe anymore.

"It's okay, it's okay, it should be okay to barely get into the second grade." Zhao Dongzhi said with a smile.

Fang Congzhe, who had not spoken much, suddenly sneered: "This is not yet the palace test, Brother Zhao is so ashamed, if he loses the election, he will not even be qualified for the palace test, and it will be a shame when the time comes." ”

Everyone was stunned at the same time, Fang Congzhe was young, but he had never been so mean when he spoke on weekdays, did he take gunpowder today?

"Anyway, everything that should be done has been done, and I will do my best to obey the fate of God, God really wants me to lose the election, and I can't help it." Zhao Dongzhi said with a smile, but while he was modest, his face was filled with a confident smile.

"Brother Zhao thought about it, but he didn't know if he would be so confident if he was really going to lose...... I'm sorry, my little brother is a little tired, so I won't accompany him. As he spoke, Fang Congzhe turned around and walked towards the west wing where he lived, and he didn't save face for Zhao Dongzhi and them at all.

"Brother Fang, what's wrong? It can't be that it didn't play, right? Zhao Dongzhi asked gloatingly, but unfortunately Fang Congzhe had already entered the house and did not answer him.

He Jigao took over the conversation and said angrily: "It has nothing to do with Brother Zhao if you play well or not, right?" Don't you just want to try it out with us, you don't need to be pretending, you'll see when you release the list. As he spoke, he walked quickly towards the west wing, and he also felt that something was wrong with Fang Congzhe.

"It's okay, since Brother He has made it clear, let's wait for the day when the list will be released, and we will leave." Zhao Dongzhi was bored, arched his hand, brushed his sleeves away, and the remaining few saw this, and hurriedly followed.

The two groups of people are constantly fighting openly and secretly on weekdays, but on the surface, they have also passed, and they don't want to be confused to pick out the opposing positions, Li Tingji sighed first, wanted to say something, opened his mouth, but in the end he just sighed lightly and walked towards the west wing.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Fuzhi and the others were not to be left behind, and hurriedly followed behind him.
