After Zhao Yuanrong sent Zhang Junming away, she still couldn't decide on the matter of killing the clan, and she didn't want to kill the Zhao family in her heart.

"If I start to attack the royal family, others will definitely think that I am a tyrant, I have promised Ji Ning before, even if it is the Chongwang Mansion and the Huiwang Mansion, I can only punish the thieves and not kill those royal relatives, and even ensure the safety of the Chongwang prince and Huaizhu's girl, but why do I feel powerless now? Now it seems that the people of the Manchu court are counting on these clans to die, could it be that these people have some connections with these clans, and they are afraid that this connection will be exposed, so they are in a hurry to kill these people now and clear up the relationship? ”

Zhao Yuanrong had something hesitant in his heart, so he wrote to Ji Ning and asked the female dead man around him to send it over, she wanted to ask Ji Ning's opinion.

"I don't know if Ji Ning will still accept my letter now, if he is willing to accept it, I can listen to his opinion, that's fine, after all, I don't have any big grudges with him, and even I'm still his woman, he won't be so disgusted with me that he won't even say something to me, right?" Zhao Yuanrong still has some expectations for this matter, "I will never become enemies with him, if there is a need, I think he will definitely help me." ”

When Ji Ning received this letter in his own house, Ji Ning was also thinking about Zhao Yuanrong in his heart.

In general, things made Ji Ning feel that it was not appropriate, Zhao Yuanrong came to ask him, it means that things have changed, and even Zhao Yuanrong, who has always been principled, began to hesitate to deal with the issue of the clan, so there is only one explanation, and Zhao Yuanrong also has the heart of removing the clan in his heart.

"It seems that she has changed a lot, if it was before, she wouldn't ask me this kind of question, the people of the royal family have always been her helpers, what is the point of her killing the clan? Will she be able to listen to me if I tell her this? ”

Ji Ning felt that it was difficult to persuade Zhao Yuanrong to do anything, and he didn't plan to continue to find Zhao Yuanrong to say anything, he could only follow his own ideas and give Zhao Yuanrong some basic suggestions on paper, the most important of which was to keep the clan in order to complete the reasonable transfer of imperial power.

After writing this letter, Ji Ning felt that Zhao Yuanrong might not be able to act according to his ideas, Ji Ning thought: "Actually, she should have thought of today's step a long time ago, even if she didn't want to kill the clan, those ministers in the court would not let go of these royal clansmen, in the rules of the royal family, it has always been a king and a loser, if you don't kill these clans, it will always be a trouble, no one wants to be a minister with the person who caused the loss of their official position and status, now it seems that it is better to be in the Temple of Literature, No matter who is in power, it doesn't affect me, but I can still be an idle person and do whatever I want. ”

After letting people send the letter away, Ji Ning's heart also relaxed, he didn't even want to think about the things in the palace, as if who was the emperor and whether he killed the clan or not had nothing to do with him.

He only needs to wait for the start of the Confucian Temple bachelor's exam now, as for things outside the exam, he wants to completely let go and be an ordinary person who doesn't pay attention to anything, he feels that only in this way can his mentality not collapse.

……

……

The exam of the Temple of Literature is finally coming.

On that day, Ji Ning got up very early, and he needed to go to the Temple of Literature to prepare first.

This Confucian Temple exam is only an exam held by the Confucian Temple in the capital, that is to say, people from other Confucian temples will not return to the capital to participate in this exam, and Ji Ning also has this advantage in staying in the capital, that is, there is always an opportunity to be added as a bachelor.

But there are not many apprentices who stay in the field, and the apprentices are mainly gathered in the two Confucian temples in Beijing and Jinling City, Ji Ning wants to participate in the Confucian Temple exam, and he doesn't need to think about who is the main examiner, he just wants to let go of the burden in his heart and try to ensure his performance.

"Yongning, why did you come so late?" Ji Ning originally thought that he had arrived at the Temple of Literature early, but when he arrived, he found that in fact, most of the apprentices had already arrived, and Song Shanqian was even waiting for him at the door.

Ji Ning rubbed his eyes and said, "When I was studying yesterday, I didn't think I would stay up late, and I didn't feel good when I got up in the morning." ”

Hearing this, Song Shanqian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to think of something, and said, "Yongning, do you know that the main examiner of the bachelor's examination of the Confucian Temple this time is Shen University?" ”

Ji Ning himself was a little surprised, and said, "Really? I don't know yet, Shigong has arrived in the capital? ”

Song Shanqian glanced at Ji Ning with a strange look, and Ji Ning immediately understood what Song Shanqian meant. Ji Ning thought to himself: "I said that I stayed up late to study last night, he wouldn't think that I was studying today's exam questions at home because I got the exam questions from my master, right?" ”

Thinking of this, Ji Ning was a little disappointed, he didn't have much to do with Song Shanqian, and this Song Shanqian always thought about him with a careful heart, he also expressed his understanding before, after all, people have lived in the big dye vat for so long, and it is difficult not to be defensive, but now Ji Ning feels that Song Shanqian's psychology has affected the two of them to make friends.

Ji Ning didn't want to explain anything, and said, "Brother Song, since it's not too early, let's just go in together." Don't know where this exam is taking place? ”

"It's done in the Suzaku Pavilion, which is also a traditional rule, and it seems that you didn't listen to what the scholar said about it that day." Song Shanqian said, and went inside with Ji Ning.

But seeing that the ordinary apprentices in the Temple of Literature had already arrived, they were still discussing some things with each other at this time, and when they saw Ji Ning coming, many people who were not familiar with Ji Ning also approached, as if Ji Ning had some big secret, and many people still pointed at Ji Ning. Ji Ning knew that this was because Shen Kang was the chief examiner of the Confucian Temple Bachelor's Examination, so others would think that he might get the exam questions in advance, and even without knowing the exam questions in advance, as long as Shen Kang recognized his handwriting and style, he could be promoted to be the Confucian Temple Bachelor this time.

Others are looking at him, which makes Ji Ning suddenly feel that he is speechless, as if everyone will be full of private money and private teaching in these years, without his relationship with Shen Kang, others will think that he will have something, everyone will regard themselves as victims, and they are unwilling to admit that it is a gap in knowledge and strength, and they can still be recognized by others after saying it.

Ji Ning didn't explain anything, and then the bachelors of the Confucian Temple had to enter the Suzaku Pavilion, and the Confucian Temple bachelor's exam was about to begin.
