Guan Jing hurriedly walked into Uncle Shen's courtroom, but when he saw him eating, he couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly apologized: "The lower officials don't know that Xiangguo is eating, so there are many disturbances." ”

"It's okay, sit down! I'll just eat a little bit. ”

One of the biggest characteristics of Uncle Shen is that he pays attention to the rules in the court, for example, he eats lunch now, only one dish, one soup and one bowl of rice, which is very simple, this is not that he lives simply, if he eats lunch at home, it is at least ten dishes, but this is the court room, and the lunch provided by the court is so simple, of course, if he wants to eat ten dishes, no one dares to say anything about him.

But since the court has rules, he won't violate them, and he doesn't do it for anyone to see, if he can't even do this rule, what else should he do.

While eating, Uncle Shen Guo smiled at Guan Lian: "I have also seen the list of Jinshi, congratulations, Xianju High School, this time the Guan family raised their eyebrows." ”

"Thank you Xiangguo for the compliment, that kid is really a fluke this time, hey!"

"Why, you don't seem to believe him in the Jinshi examination?"

Guan Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "Xianju is only the hundredth place in Chuzhou Gongjushi, I didn't expect him to be admitted at all, I just wanted him to experience the difficulty of taking the Jinshi exam, I didn't expect him to actually pass the exam, and then I asked him the reason, it was really his luck, the first subject of the problem, he actually reviewed it when he was fighting for the head of the Donghai County Hucao, although the head of the Hucao did not take the test, but this year's Jinshi actually took the test, it was too unexpected." ”

Uncle Shen Guo didn't say anything when he ate, of course Guan Lian's little trick to cover up couldn't hide it from him, how could it be so coincidental, that question had never appeared in the previous Jinshi imperial examination, and the dispute between Hu Cao and the main affairs at that time had been explained in advance that it was a policy topic drawn from any of the Jinshi imperial examination topics over the years, Guan Xianju could only review the policy topic, how could he review this topic, this topic can only rely on the usual sporadic accumulation, requiring candidates to have extensive knowledge.

Uncle Shen's son Shen Qiwu won ninth in this imperial examination, and he was admitted by relying on real talent and real learning, and Uncle Shen Guo himself was also born as a Jinshi, so he knew it very well in his heart.

In fact, it is not impossible for Guan Xianju to be admitted to the Jinshi, after all, there will be times when the Kaogong Jushi will perform abnormally, even if someone suspects, it is in vain if there is no evidence, and no one will unnecessarily accuse the son of the Ministry of Rites of the Ministry of Rites for being admitted to the Jinshi.

It can only show that Guan Lian is a weak heart, and it shows that Guan Xianju is a real problem, but Uncle Shen Guo understands in his heart that he will not say anything, so he smiled and said: "Freezing three feet, not a cold, every scholar has experienced ten years of hard work, my third son Qi Wu I know that he has been really hard for more than ten years, but this alone is not enough, it is also because I have a little power, so that he can worship the best Confucianism as a teacher, and he has an advantage over the children of poor families, coupled with his own diligence, so it is reasonable for him to be admitted to the ninth place in the Jinshi, Yesterday afternoon, I also explained this truth to the emperor, and he also agreed, so you don't have any psychological pressure. ”

Uncle Shen Guo is implicitly telling Guan Lin how to explain, not only the child is diligent, but also has the power advantage of his parents, and he can find a famous teacher to teach, this is the reason, not some coincidence, that is pure nonsense.

Guan Lian's face flushed, he understood what Uncle Shen Guo meant, and hurriedly smiled: "That's true, my son's mentor is the great Confucian Jia Siwen, he is the former Guozi Jian Siye, famous all over the world, and his disciples are of course extraordinary." ”

Uncle Shen Guo nodded, that's right, after a pause, he smiled again: "Since Xianju has been admitted to the Jinshi, then he will be more sure to propose to the Su family, Su Xun has returned home, you have to hurry up, I suggest that you take the child to visit the Su seniors today, one is to thank the teacher, this is a necessary etiquette, and the other is to propose, ask the old man to give his granddaughter to Xianju, Xianju's appearance is good, and he is a Jinshi, the old man will like it." ”

This is also one of the reasons why Guan Lin is looking for Uncle Shen Guo, he wants to ask Uncle Shen Guo to go to Su Mansion again to propose marriage, but Uncle Shen Guo asked him to go, his weight is weak, Guan Lin is a little embarrassed: "Can Xiang Guo help Xianju again?" ”

Uncle Shen Guo laughed, "Don't worry! I'm going to make a move, and I'm going to help when it counts. ”

．．．．．．．． In the afternoon, in the lobby on the second floor of the Baifu Restaurant, hundreds of scholars from Yongjing gathered together, and a banner was hung above the lobby: 'He Yongjing Lin Brothers Double Gold List High School. ’

This is the Lin brothers Lin Qianjun and Lin Qianyi threw five hundred taels of silver and chartered the lobby on the second floor of the Baifu Restaurant to entertain fellow villagers.

This time, there are four people in Yongjing who are admitted to the Jinshi, that is, the first and second places in the Gongjushi, plus the Lin brothers, the Lin brothers are also in the top ten of the Gongjushi, so the two of them were admitted to the Jinshi at the same time, although many people were surprised and puzzled, but their own conditions are good, and it is reasonable.

The Lin brothers were so happy that their hearts were about to explode, and on the afternoon of the middle school, they invited more than 100 fellow villagers who lived in the same inn and hundreds of fellow villagers from other inns to the Baifu Restaurant to drink their celebration wine.

The banquet was very lively, and everyone toasted and congratulated the two brothers, and at this time, even Xiangguo Zhang Jinjie, who was sitting in the elegant room, heard about it and came out to congratulate the two brothers in person.

At this moment, there was a sensation in the restaurant, and hundreds of drinkers upstairs and downstairs came to see the excitement and praised it.

"This is the pair of brothers who were admitted to the Jinshi at the same time, it's not easy! Even Zhang Xiangguo came to congratulate. ”

"The two brothers were admitted to the Jinshi at the same time, which seems to be rarely heard! This should be the burial of their ancestors. ”

"Zhang Xiangguo is a secretary of the ministry, and if he is favored, these two brothers will surely soar."

．．．．．．． The praise came and went, but not all the wine was so mellow, the hall was more bitter, except for the two brothers, all the other scholars in the hall were the losers, and their scenery set off the downfall of others.

Especially when the two brothers were praised by Zhang Xiangguo, many people's jealousy arose, and the dozen or so scholars sitting at the most edge table could no longer hide the jealousy in their eyes.

"Do you know that these two brothers have been in contact with brokers who sell exam questions before the exam, and I have witnessed it three times."

"I've also heard that the two brothers are willing to pay a high price for the test questions, and many people in the inn know about it."

"Think about it, everyone! They are only the eighth and ninth place of the Gongjushi, we Yongjing Gongju did not pass the second place after the test, you say that it is understandable that a person plays abnormally, but everyone is not admitted, that can only show that the strength is not good, why can the two brothers be admitted at the same time, if one person is admitted, maybe he plays extraordinarily, but can both people play extraordinarily? Don't you think that's suspicious? ”

"Brother Zhou means that they knew the topic in advance?"

"I don't dare to say that, but they have more than once contacted brokers who sell exam questions, and in the end, both of them were admitted at the same time, and I think they are suspected of cheating."

"That's right! Everyone has survived the cold window for ten years, and they have been admitted with real skills, we have nothing to say, reliable fraud, this is too unfair, the number of places is so small, maybe they are squeezing you and me. ”

"We want to sue and let the court investigate this matter, we must find out clearly, we must not be so cheap to them!"

．．．．．． The more everyone talked, the more excited and angry they became, the man surnamed Zhou waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Everyone listen to me, it's useless for a few of us to shout, let's write a joint letter tonight, let all the Yongjing scholars in the inn join together, let's sue together, the court will definitely pay attention to it, I think our suspicions are not groundless, many people know that they buy test questions, we are not afraid." ”

"I'm in favor, let's not drink this disgusting wine, go back and discuss."

More than a dozen people discussed properly, and while everyone was not paying attention, they sneaked out of the restaurant, and in the lobby, the Lin brothers were so excited that tears broke out in their eyes, as if they saw themselves dressed in official uniforms and trying the case in the court.

．．．．．．．．． In front of the palace of Lanling County, there are full of guards from the East Palace, today the crown prince Fuheng personally came to visit the king of Lanling County, the reason is very simple, today is the tenth anniversary of the death of the old Liang Wang, the old Liang Wang is the authentic descendant of the royal family, is the uncle of the Emperor Mourning Zong and Emperor Shengzong, his jealousy, of course, the royal family has to say something, in previous years, the emperor Fuheng came to worship for his father, and this year is no exception, so from this reason, it is normal for the prince to appear in the Lanling palace today.

But the prince is not here to worship the old Liang King today, he has another deep meaning, this time the expansion of the plum blossom guard and the embroidered clothes guard has fallen into the dust.

In the expansion of Chu, Qi, and Youzhou, the prince and Uncle Shen Guo were both the winners, and the two places of Meihuawei in Qizhou and Youzhou were obtained by the prince, and the two places of the embroidered guards in Qizhou and Youzhou were obtained by Uncle Shenguo, and the king of Qi got the quota of the embroidered clothes guard in Chuzhou, but the quota of the plum blossom guard in Chuzhou was obtained by the Liang Wang.

In fact, Huang Fuheng doesn't want the quota in Youzhou, he wants Chuzhou, Chuzhou is the nest of the King of Chu, if he can get this quota, it is undoubtedly a wedge in the heart of the King of Chu's territory, especially the Meihuawei of Chuzhou is stationed in Jiangning Mansion, if Meihuawei can be controlled by him, and then echo with Su Hanzhen of Donghai County and Yang Tingan of Yuhang County, then his power will enter the richest southeast region of the Daning Dynasty, and the strength comparison between him and Uncle Shen will be reversed.

It's a pity that he didn't get this key position, but Huang Fuheng is not discouraged, he still has a chance, he wants to cooperate with the Liang Wang family, if the two sides can reach a cooperation intention, then the result is similar, especially Wujin also has the strength of the Chuzhou Water Army, this cooperation makes him even more beneficial.

In the quiet room of the Lanling County Palace, the crown prince Fu Heng, the Lanling County Wang Huang Fu Jiang and the Huang Fu Wujin sat together.

They are already starting to talk about cooperation, and this time to cooperate with the crown prince is the insistence of Huangfu Wujin, he is the first time to make his first major decision as the successor of Emperor Jin An, and the Liang Wang family cooperates with the crown prince.
