Hongqing's action was very fast, not long after the dispersal of the court, an edict had been issued from the inner court, Xiao Xuanwu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was fully responsible for the reform of the imperial examination, and the title of the Ministry of Rites was added, and all ministries were ordered to fully cooperate, and they must come up with specific implementation regulations within three months. Even the Fourth Master's Mansion, who has always shown his cold face and cold heart, has no shortage of visitors, of course, the Fourth Master will definitely not pay attention to it, just because he himself is worried about this matter.

"......, alas, that's the way it is, I can't imagine that guy really dares to risk the world's disapproval, act so recklessly, and go against the way of the saints.

The fourth master's mood was originally very bad, after the dispersal of the court, he still forced himself to go to the household department to do some errands, but when he got the holy decree, the fourth master's mood turned from gray to black, and he no longer had the intention of pretending to be in the household department, so he found an excuse to take leave, and rushed back to his own house directly, went straight to the inner courtyard study, sighed and explained the matter of the early dynasty to Wu Sidao in detail, and at the end he sighed with a sad and pitiful sigh.

"Isn't that just right, what does the prince have to worry about?"

The fourth master's nagging words were very long, and he looked like a lazy woman's footcloth, but Wu Sidao never had the slightest impatience, and always listened quietly, until the fourth master sighed, and then gave a light comment with a smile.

"Hmmm......"

The fourth master was worried about the country and the people at this time, and his brain was really a little unable to turn for a while, and he stared at Wu Sidao for a long time in a daze, and then nodded thoughtfully, obviously thinking of something strange.

"If you want to go perverse today, and let him go, when the time comes, it will make people angry, isn't it a good opportunity for the prince to come forward to clean up the mess, why worry about it?"

Although the fourth master has already understood, he is obviously still considering the gains and losses, Wu Sidao even laughed, and broke the mystery in one word, of course, this is just Wu Sidao's own judgment, don't look at him as a wise man in the world, but limited to the horizon, the insight in opening the people's wisdom is only limited to the category of Confucianism, and it is normal to misjudge.

"Well, what the gentleman said is very true, let's let it run rampant for a while, this king wants to see how long he can be rampant."

The reason why the fourth master is in a bad mood today is that he is really worried that the reform of the imperial examination will cause nationwide turmoil, but he is actually annoyed by the fiasco of today's court meeting, you must know that in order to make some trouble for Hongqing in the court meeting, the fourth master has done his homework, and the financial and material resources spent on creating public opinion alone are already a lot of numbers, not to mention contacting all kinds of courtiers, and it took a lot of energy to prepare for the attack as one, but he never wanted to be caught off guard by Hongqing. None of the means prepared earlier could come in handy, and Hongli's defeat to Xiao Xuanwu in the court meeting made the fourth master extremely angry, so that he never thought carefully about the gains and losses, and now, being broken by Wu Sidao so little, his mood suddenly improved.

"It's not enough, it's not enough, we have to add more fire."

As soon as the fourth master's words fell, Wu Sidao shook his head with a smile.

"Huh? Sir, what are you talking about......"

As soon as he heard Wu Sidao's statement, the fourth master's first reaction was to do something about the reform of the imperial examination, but after thinking about it, he felt that the possibility was not too big, after all, this mission was supervised by Xiao Xuanwu, and the pilot places were all in Zhili, but Liu Chengen, a slave under Hongqing, was in charge, although the fourth master also had some manpower in the Ministry of Rites and Zhili, but they were not heavyweights, even if they wanted to make a yin move, they were afraid that it would be difficult to make too much effort, but there was a risk of being exposed, and the risk was too great. The fourth master really didn't dare to do this, and he was a little at a loss for what Wu Sidao said, and after frowning and thinking for a while, he still had to tentatively ask half of the words.

"Does the prince think that Wu is going to make a fuss about the reform of the imperial examination? Hey, that's a big mistake, this new deal is not better than military innovation, that end, today has absolute control, no one can shake its advantages, and it will not take too much effort to pay attention, and this imperial examination innovation can be said to be a hair and move the whole body, how can it really be handed over to Xiao Xuanwu to toss, there is no doubt that the whole process will be closely watched, who dares to make trouble in this matter, who will die without a place to be buried, therefore, the prince must not touch his hands in this matter, and those who really want to work hard should be elsewhere. ”

The fourth master's dazed face was all on his face, and Wu Sidao would not fail to see it, so he explained with a smile.

"Well, this king also thinks the same way, but where should this kung fu be used, and please ask Mr. to give Xiao Wang some guidance."

The fourth master did not plan to continue to make a move on the reform of the imperial examination, not only because he was afraid of Hongqing's ruthlessness, but also because the process of this innovation spanned almost 20 years, and the initial innovation was not large.

"Has the prince noticed anything wrong with me recently?"

Although the fourth master's sincere attitude of seeking advice was extremely correct, Wu Sidao did not give a direct reply, but asked with a smile.

"This ...... seems to have been reduced a lot."

Hearing Wu Sidao's strange question, the fourth master's brows couldn't help frowning, and after hesitating for a moment, he gave an answer with some hesitation.

"Yes, it should be the case, Wu heard that he gets up early in the morning every day, and often has to be busy until the middle of the night. Today, although the diligent government is diligent government, but I don't know moderation, I always want to clarify all government affairs thoroughly, if there is no change, it will be difficult for a long time! ”

As soon as the fourth master's voice fell, Wu Sidao gave a high-five, and explained with emotion.

"Hmmm......"

Although the fourth master agrees with Wu Sidao's statement, but he doesn't think so, no side, Hongqing is only in his early thirties now, even if he can't last long, he is obviously going to live longer than his fourth master, if he really wants to live longer than anyone to win, the fourth master thinks that he has no chance of winning, besides, as far as Hongqing's ruthless temperament, the fourth master doesn't believe that Hongqing will let himself go on like this, but it's really hard to announce such an idea, The fourth master could only speak noncommittally.

"Do you still remember the opportunity that Wu mentioned when he ascended the throne today?"

After getting along with the guests and hosts for so many years, Wu Sidao really knows the fourth master too well, just one look at the fourth master's face, he knows what he is thinking in his heart, but he did not say anything, but smiled calmly, and mentioned a sentence unhurriedly.

"Sir, are you talking about the war with the Six Western Barbarian Kingdoms, but ......?"

The fourth master's memory is naturally excellent, Wu Sidao only mentioned it, and he immediately remembered what the opportunity Wu Sidao pointed out at the beginning, but obviously he didn't think that the war of the Six Nations would happen so early, and he didn't understand what the special significance of adding fire and the Six Kingdoms to the battle of the Qing Dynasty was.

"Yes, it is the war with the six countries of the Western Barbarians, a few months ago, today in Guangdong to kill, and the Western Barbarians are already difficult to reconcile, the war is inevitable, the difference is only a matter of time, what the prince has to do is to drag out this time, only to survive until the war breaks out, the turning point should come, even so, how to get through such a gap is the key to this, in this regard, the prince should know in his heart."

Wu Sidao didn't sell much this time, but smiled and pointed out a grim fact, that is, if the fourth master wants to have a chance to bring down Hongqing, he must first ensure that he can avoid Hongqing's liquidation, otherwise, there is only a dead end.

"Well, what the gentleman said is very true, but the plan will be safe?"

In fact, the reason why he went all out to promote the reform of the imperial examination this time, and then planned to create obstacles in the court discussion, the fundamental purpose was not in the imperial examination innovation itself, but to put Hongqing in trouble, so as to delay Hongqing's time to take his fourth master, but he didn't expect that the plan that had been carefully planned for a long time was easily smashed into pieces by Hongqing, to such a point now, The fourth master doesn't know where to start anymore.

"Since the second master's chess piece is useless, it should be given up, and it can be regarded as waste utilization."

Wu Sidao did not give a direct answer, but smiled mysteriously and mentioned a sentence meaningfully.

"Hmmm......"

The second master refers to Hongsheng's puppet waste, in order to be able to fight with Hongqing in the court, the fourth master had to hold Hongsheng up, but with Hongqing's coming to power, Hongsheng has lost the slightest use, and the fourth master has not been bothered for a long time, at this time, when he heard Wu Sidao say that he wanted to use waste, the fourth master was inevitably stunned, but after thinking about it, a new plan instantly appeared in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the fourth master's face faintly floated a layer of complacent red light......
