The next day, Lu Li took Xie Qianqian back to his parents' house with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

Coincidentally, today is the day of rest, and neither Scholar Xie nor Lu Li have to go to work.

You must know that Dayue officials have long hair and often have to wash it, so they must dry it and tie it up in a bun before they can wear a gauze hat and go out to work, so it is necessary to have a rest day every few days.

Not to mention some old adults, just like Yue Lao, they love to have a long beard, and they always want to win the name of a beautiful beard, and the most unfortunate thing is that they are also immortal, which is not ordinary.

As for Lu Zhi, he is very comfortable, except for accompanying his wife every day, he is accompanying his wife, isn't it, he began to teach the Taiping County Lord how to build a cradle again.

Of course, it's just a nominal teaching, but it's mainly Lu Zhi's hands, and the Taiping County Lord has a big belly, which is really inconvenient.

…………

I don't know how Lu Li discussed it, Xie Qianqian's method of educating the people was not adopted by Xie Yan, Xie Xuexue meant to find some universities to ask, and argue first.

Strictly speaking, there is no problem in doing this, and when the time comes, it will not only fail to educate the people, but also cause endless harm; But the matter of impeachment is just around the corner, and it cannot be delayed, so that there is one less card in the hand that can be played.

Xie Yan didn't say much, just smiled mysteriously, "It's not a big problem, everything is wrapped up in the old man." ”

In the next few days, the brothers Lu Zhi and Lu Li opened their eyes, and they were confused, and the impeachment of Xu Shangshu turned into a gamble.

A gamble based on the results of the imperial examination of the regulars of the champion building.

At the same time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has always remained silent, turning a blind eye to the performance that should cooperate with Xu Shangshu, and watching the play without saying a word.

These are nothing, Xie Daxue protects his shortcomings, it seems to be a simple battle of will, and there is not even a bet.

But when King Yue's new will came down, the Lu Zhi brothers were dumbfounded.

King Yue felt that since it was a gambling game, he had to ask for a fairness, so the main examination could not be the two parties involved in the gambling game, after all, there was no reason to sit in the village and participate in the gambling game.

Who are the two sides involved in the game? Xie Daxue and Xu Shangshu.

In this way, none of them can be presidents, and King Yue pondered and replaced Liu Kang, another university scholar, to take over.

In other words, Xu Shangshu missed another opportunity to take the main exam.

"Hey, wait......" Lu Zhi suddenly realized something, could this be a buckle made by King Yue? In order to restrict Xu Shangshu from continuing to develop his power?

Thinking about it further, it is very likely that King Yue is not targeting Xu Shangshu, but the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and the purpose should be to restrict rights.

The president's first imperial examination is the seat teacher of all the candidates in this session, and it is not surprising that the secretary of the Ministry of Rites will always serve as the president.

To put it mildly, the normal imperial examination plus an additional test every three or five times, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu will soon become the world's master, so thinking about it, his power is too easy to expand.

It doesn't take much, it only takes five or six years, and all the important departments of the imperial court are all students of the Ministry of Rites, and there will be more and more, and the status will be higher and higher, and finally the tail will not be lost.

Although it is just a guess, it is not impossible, after all, Lu Zhi has no experience in court struggle, and after all, there are only a few people who can be relied on.

Sure enough, the heart of playing politics is black, Lu Zhi's back is cold, and he is a little scared.

He decided, hide far away, try not to wade into the muddy waters of the court, this damn thing, unknowingly was calculated.

…………

"Fourth son, the eldest lady is already urging, saying that if she doesn't set off again, she will be spanked one by one!" Outside the door, the voice of the leather monkey sounded, and it seemed that he was still holding back a smile.

"All carriages ready?" "Yes, it's already ready." "That's it, let's go."

This was also agreed in advance, the Guan family had a family banquet, and the Lu family had to be attended by all members.

The capital city examination is an additional test, naturally it can't be added to the Wenju alone, and the martial arts can't be left behind, and the chief examiner of this martial arts examination has already been decided, it is Lu Zhi's brother-in-law, the new military department squire Guan Fei.

Isn't it a surprise? Accidents are accidents, and this is reasonable.

Guan Fei served as a squire in the military department, to be honest, his age and qualifications were far from enough, he urgently needed to make meritorious contributions to stabilize his position, and the invigilation of martial arts was just right.

This thing, even if it is the welfare that King Yue gave to the Guan family, after all, the old general Guan secretly contributed a lot, and the father's credit was received by the son, which can be regarded as an alternative "father dies and son succeeds".

Anyway, this is a happy thing, Lu Zhi took the family, and he happily went to eat.

As for what court strife? What does it have to do with my fourth son? As the saying goes, at this time, I don't know Shu!

…………

On the ninth day of the second lunar month, the Wenju officially began, and after another five days, the Wuju was also on the right track.

Don't look at the exam that is just a civil and military examination, it has touched the hearts of thousands of people in the capital, even Lu Zhi feels that the days of the exam have passed very quickly, and he always feels that he has not done anything, and the imperial examination is over.

That's what it feels like – has it begun? It's over! It's a bit of a loss.

On the first day of the first month of March, the palace exam, the next day, the next day, the list was released again, and the whole capital was like pressing the fast-forward button, as if there was nothing else to do in life except for the imperial examination and worrying about the imperial examination.

Lu Zhi was also worried, as soon as the list was released, he took a car to check, accompanied by Chen Youqian.

Although there is no bet on the bet of Xie Dashi and Xu Shangshu, it is better not to lose, and at their level, face is undoubtedly a more important thing.

"Get a good score, get a good score......" Lu Zhi muttered with his hands, not daring to look at the nominations on the gold list.

"Fourth son, fourth son......" Chen Youqian relied on his fat body, and squeezed in from the crowd of people watching the list, and squeezed out again.

"What? How's it going? Lu Zhi opened his eyes and vaguely guessed something.

"Champion Zhou Runtu, Zhou Gongzi!" Chen Youqian flicked his sleeves, "It's the Zhou Gongzi who won the title of the literary world and always goes to our champion building!" ”

"Huh~~~" Lu Zhi let out a sigh of relief, and finally put his mind at ease, followed by a burst of ecstasy.

Haha, Xu Shangshu? Delaying students' education?

"And Tanhua is also an acquaintance, and he is also a son surnamed Zhou, his name is Zhou Tian." Chen Youqian looked excited, "The top three occupy two seats, and our champion building is going to be on fire!" ”

"Hmm." Lu Zhi hid his trembling hands and pretended to be calm, "What about the list?" Who is the leaderboard? ”

"It's a guy named Cheng Kai, this surname is rare, I don't know it."

Lu Zhi nodded, "Zhou Runtu, Cheng Kai, Zhou Tian, Double Monday?" ”
