Chapter 120: Grasping the Present

Exam questions leaked!

For Gao Yuan, this is much more serious than the problem of leaking questions in the college entrance examination in later generations. If the imperial examination system is implemented in later generations, the topic is leaked, and the offender is guilty, it is a felony that is full of beheading.

Gao Yuan calmed himself down first and gently put down the two papers.

In Gao Yuan's opinion, since Deng Zhi came here, the leak must have nothing to do with him, or he could get useful information from him, and asked, "Mr. Bo Miao, where did you get this volume?" “

Deng Zhi shook his head and said: "The trafficker is very careful, he never showed up, and as far as the buyers I know, I don't know who the trafficker is." ”

Gao Yuan's heart tightened, he thought that Deng Zhi had discovered it, it seemed that Deng Zhi had only occasionally come into contact with these, and he was here to tell him, and he didn't know the inside story. Gao Yuan couldn't help but think of the three Sima Yi who were in charge of drafting the exam questions, either one of them deliberately leaked them, or the people around them who had access to the exam questions and stole them out for profit.

Deng Zhi saw Gao Yuan's thoughtful appearance, and took the initiative to say: "Ming Gong, there must not be many people who can contact the exam questions, first find Sima Junshi and others, ask in detail, and you will definitely be able to find clues." ”

Gao Yuan also thought so, although it was dark, but the matter was too important, he couldn't take care of eating, and immediately reported to Sima Yi and others.

After a while, when Sima Yi and the three of them came to the council hall, Deng Zhi also avoided the back hall.

Gao Yuan's anger was suppressed in front of Deng Zhi, and now when he saw Sima Yi, Chen Lin, and Xin Bi, he got up angry and slapped the table angrily. Reprimanded: "How do you do things? The imperial examination has not yet begun, and the exam questions will be leaked first. What do you say about selecting talents, and what do you say about supporting the community. What to say about the country of Shang'an, and the country's Lishu! ”

As he spoke, Gao Yuan grabbed the file on the desk and smashed it on the face of the principal Sima Yi.

At first, Sima Yi and the others didn't know why Gao Yuan was angry, but when they understood, their faces turned white. Bean-sized sweat came out, and his whole body was soaked in an instant. This imperial examination is a great matter within the lofty forces. It is not only a major event for Gao Yuan, but also a major event for all those who follow Gao Yuan.

Sima Yi and the three of them picked up the two volumes and looked at them, and they were exactly the same. The three of them knelt down at that time, sweating like rain. Apparently. The first to be suspected was the three of them.

Chen Lin trembled and shouted: "Lord, his subordinates have no selfish feelings, please be aware of it!" "When he smacked his forehead on the ground, it was wet.

Subsequently, Sima Yi and Xin Bi hurriedly expressed their loyalty, claiming that this matter was definitely not done by themselves. It must have been someone else stealing.

Gao Yuan was a little angry, he also trusted the three of them, but he still scolded: "I believe it wasn't you who did it." But you are not well prepared, and you will not escape the blame. Give you three days to find out the truth and reformulate the questions. He contacted the descendants and said, "Make three copies, when the exam is taken." A copy is then drawn in case of an emergency. Leaking the question. There are only three days, and if it is expected, it will not be spared. ”

Sima Yi and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and their lofty trust made them feel the great favor of the Lord. However, the leakage of the exam questions made them very ashamed and uneasy. With a wave of Gao Yuan's hand, the three of them didn't dare to get up, and climbed out backwards all the way.

When the three of them left, Deng Zhi came out of the hall and said: "Ming Gong, I see that Sima Zhongda eagle looks at the wolf, it seems that these people are extremely ambitious, and they can't be paid military power, and it will be a big disaster for a long time!" ”

Gao Yuan frowned, the reason why the Shi clan was able to control the regime was because of the huge population of the land. Now the Shi clan on the Gao Yuan side no longer has the conditions to control the population, so the ability of the Shi clan to control the political power has also been lost. Strength is the source of a person's ambition, Gao Yuan just said: "Well, I have written down this matter." ”

This night, the irritable Gao Yuan couldn't sleep.

And Sima Yi and the three of them did not return, and returned to the official office overnight, and the door of the conference hall was closed. Sima Yi's hand was raised heavily. When Chen Lin and Xin Bi were waiting for the sound of smashing the case, Sima Yi gently put it down.

"The wall has ears!" Sima Yi swept around, "Go to the secret room." ”

As soon as the three of them entered the secret room, Chen Lin and Xin Bi saluted at that time, with bitter gourd faces, and said worriedly: "Military advisor, it's definitely not the two of us." ”

Of course, Sima Yi knew that it was not him, and he also believed in Chen Lin and Xin Bi's behavior, and said: "It must be done by the people around you, you can calm down and think about it." ”

With that, the Chamber of Secrets fell silent for an hour.

However, the three of them worked day and night on government affairs, and there was time to pay attention to the subtle things around them, and there was no memory of possible leaks, so they couldn't think of anything.

Unable to think of it, Chen Lin and Xin Bi began to be afraid.

Chen Lin wiped her sweat and said, "This is a big matter, I'm afraid our future is not guaranteed." ”

Simbi worried: "What face to go to the Lord!" ”

The two pinned their hopes on the pensive Sima Yi, and couldn't help but say in unison: "Is there a way for the military advisor?" ”

Not to mention, Sima Yi really came up with a way, which was inspired by Gao Yuan's instructions, and he said: "The Lord ordered us to remake the question, or three different ones, this is an excellent idea to prevent fraud." Let's remake it all according to the master's instructions. ”

"The leakage of the problem must not be spread. But....... ”

Chen Lin and Xin Bi looked forward and asked, "Strategist, but what?" ”

Sima Yi smiled, "It's just that the three things with different topics should be conveyed with great fanfare, so that everyone knows that this exam is different from the past, and it is good to randomly select them before the exam." He held out two fingers of his hand: "In this way, there are two benefits." First, as the lord said, prevention is better than prevention. Second, those who profit from leaking exam questions will definitely steal them again in order not to get into trouble. ”

"Steal again!" Chen Lin and Xin Bi glanced at each other, nodded suddenly, and said in unison: "This plan is wonderful!" The two of them were originally not convinced by the much younger Sima Yi, but now they can't help but admire.

Who knew that Sima Yi just smiled slightly, and said, "If it weren't for the lord's reminder to formulate three copies, I wouldn't have thought of a good way." I can't do it with the power of the Lord. ”

Chen Lin and Xin Bi couldn't help nodding yes.

The next day. As soon as the morning dawned, there were three questions in the imperial examination, and things were randomly selected on the spot. And it spread throughout the city, and spread outward.

At noon, Sima Mansion and Sima entered the courtyard.

Sima Jin was hiding in his room and counting the money, and he knelt on the mat with a large urn in front of him. Throw the big glittering money into it, and there will be pleasant music. Sima Jin at this time. They close their eyes and listen. On the proud face, there was a comfortable expression.

"Childe, Childe!"

There was an exclamation from outside, and Sima Jin's face changed. Hurriedly covered the urn with a robe. Seeing that it was a henchman who came in, he breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Made, what are you calling blindly, you scared me to death!" ”

The henchman was sincerely frightened, and bowed: "Childe, the big thing is not expected!" ”

"What's the matter?" Sima Jin held the urn full of money and raised his eyebrows.

The henchman shouted: "The government has released the latest news of the imperial examination, and this time the examination paper is three. The people I was looking for to sell exam questions were besieged by those who bought them. Those who bought said that if there were no other two copies, they would return the money, and the person I was looking for would be unbearable! ”

"Ahh Sima entered his mouth for a while. The amplitude is so large that the little tongue leaks out. He looked at the urn that had not yet been heated in his arms, and he couldn't close his mouth for a long time. After a long time, he closed his mouth and shouted: "My second brother is too cunning, there are three copies." I don't even know! ”

The henchman shouted, "Childe, quickly find a way." Otherwise, the matter will be revealed! ”

Sima Jin was anxious, this matter was exposed, he must have finished playing, and there was no turning back at this time. He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and said, "You go and tell them not to be impatient, the other two will arrive soon, but three will be paid!" ”

The henchman was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed and said, "Childe is smart, so you can earn two more shares!" ”

At night, Sima Jin began to circle around the gate of the mansion, constantly circling in circles. When the three elder brothers and two younger brothers saw each other, they couldn't help but ask.

"Can you handle it, I'll take a walk!" Sima Jin said irritably.

Seeing that he was unreasonable, the brothers brushed their sleeves away, and Sima Jin looked at the door of the mansion from time to time, "Why hasn't the second brother come yet." ”

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived.

When Sima Yi walked in with a few attendants, Sima Jin hurriedly greeted him with a whole face, and said with a smile: "Second brother is back." ”

Sima Yi didn't take him seriously, "Hmm." ”

Who knew that Sima Jin followed all the way, and said as he walked: "Second brother, I heard that the exam questions are three." ”

"Hmm." Sima Yi is worried about it here.

Who knew that Sima Jin was unrelenting, he had an idea, raised Sima Yi's arm, looked at it carefully, and said, "Second brother, your robe is old." ”

Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became furious, "Get out!" ”

Sima Jin's face changed, "Get out, if you lose your temper, your brother can't care about you, it's really kind to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs!" ”

This oily tone made Sima Yi angry, and he was about to faint. If it weren't for his own brother, he would have been slapped over.

Sima Jin returned to his room, and his henchman asked, "Childe, have you found out?" ”

Sima Jin didn't say in vain that the robe was old, and in the gap of the robe, he still saw the paper, which must be the exam paper.

The henchman said: "What should I do?" ”

Sima Jin rolled his eyes, "Just say that my father drank too much, let the second brother pick it up." ”

"Okay, what if the second son lets someone else go?" Confidant.

Sima Jin slowly pulled out a big circle in the air with both hands, and immediately said in a strange voice: "My second brother is a big ~ filial son!" ”

Night

Sima Yi put away the test papers, and was talking about sleeping, when a voice came from outside, "Second brother, my father drank too much at the house next door, so I asked you to pick him up by name." Daddy has begun to show you again, our family will rely on you in the future, General Gao is the emperor, then you are the third duke. ”

As soon as Sima Yi heard it, he knew that it was Sima Jin, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he hurriedly opened the door and scolded: "What nonsense, what emperor, what three dukes, mixed ......." "When I looked closely, there was still no one left.

He expressed his helplessness to his father, so he had to put on his clothes and prepare to pick him up.

When he was halfway there, he happened to meet Sima Fu, so he said, "Third brother, since you don't have anything to do, come with me to pick up your father." ”

"Pick up Dad?" Sima Fu expressed doubts, "Where to pick it up?" ”

"The Zhao family next door, I guess my father drank too much with Mrs. Zhao again." Sima Yi said.

Sima Fu seemed to see a ghost, looked Sima Yi up and down, and said, "Second brother, I see that you have drunk too much." I just got back from my dad, and he's asleep now. ”

When Sima Yi heard this, his face changed drastically. Sima Fu was taken aback, "Second brother? ”

"It's nothing, it's nothing, let's rest." Sima Yi showed an expression of nothingness, and when Sima Fu left in confusion, his face changed greatly, and he hurried towards his courtyard. When I came to take a look, the door of the courtyard was wide open, and when I entered the courtyard, I saw a sneaky figure reflected in the window.

Sima Yi was clever, and rushed to the room with an arrow step, and saw a person dressed in black, masked, rummaging through his bookcase. Enraged, he took his sword from the wall, and the room was filled with swords.

"Little thief, take your life!" (To be continued)
