What Ouyang Shu took was a dangerous move, and if he didn't make a good move, it was likely to backfire, but it aroused Zhao Xu's anger and made him firm in his murderous intent. But at this time, he had no other way to think but to try.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard the four words of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the murderous intent in Zhao Xu's eyes suddenly disappeared: Oh, what did the princess say?

His Royal Highness said, let the ministers and those imperial doctors discuss together, or you can find the crux of the problem, but I didn't expect that as soon as the words fell, Your Majesty arrived!

Zhao Xu's eyes flickered. When she mentioned Zhao Jing, she remembered a question: Zhao Jing and Fan Xiaolu are one of the best friends. If Fan Xiaolu's husband is inexplicably gone, how will Zhao Jing react?

After having these scruples, Zhao Xu really disappeared. Ouyang Shu was beside him, always paying close attention to Zhao Xu's every move, seeing his face softened, Ouyang Shu finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that this little life was finally saved temporarily. Next, there is the question of how to keep your freedom and how not to be extinguished in the future. For the past two days, Ouyang Shu has been staying in his room to read books. Moreover, under Hu Qing'er's repeated insistence, all he ate was bought by Hu Qing'er from outside and eaten with him. I really do the clothes to stretch out, the food to open the mouth, and I don't have to worry about everything.

In fact, temporary cramming may not be of much significance, but he is also seeking a psychological comfort. To be honest, his scriptures and meanings are quite passable, but he has no talent in poetry, so it can only depend on luck. If the examiner comes up with a question that he can memorize, it will naturally be a pearl and jade, and if it is the other way around, I am afraid it will be a failure. At this point, he was very helpless.

In anticipation, the scientific expedition finally began. Before the exam, the palace oracle announced several new measures for this scientific examination, which attracted the attention of the candidates.

First of all, in this exam, in addition to Zhigongju and Tongzhi Gongju, Zhao Xu also specially appointed two Zhizhui questions to be responsible for the questioning. Of course, this is not to deprive Zhigongju and Tongzhigongju of the right to ask questions, but for the same exam, Zhigongju and Tongzhigongju will ask questions, and Zhigongju will also have questions, and all the questions that everyone has produced will be numbered and temporarily sealed.

Secondly, it is necessary to wait for all the candidates to enter the room and sit down, and then the emperor will write the test question number of the field. For example, in this examination, there are three questions, written by the emperor himself: Zhang Sanjia, Li Siyi, and Wang Wubing. Immediately, the chamberlain flew this strip to the Gongyuan, and then opened the sealed questions, and pulled out the A question in the big scripture questions issued by Zhang San, the B question in Li Si, and the C question in Wang Wu, and all the questions in an exam were immediately opened in front of the candidates.

In addition, throughout the entire examination, there are supervision officers to supervise from beginning to end, and these supervision officers are composed of speech officials. If something goes wrong, these people are all going to be implicated.

In this way, unless someone can really guess Zhao Xu's mind in advance, it is impossible to guess everything. Taking a step back, even if all the examiner's questions are leaked this time, it will not be of much help to the candidates, because all the questions are equal in the test, and it is impossible for them to do all the questions in these two days.

After all, the imperial examination is all about essay questions, and there are no objective questions. Each question requires hundreds or thousands of words of argument to be answered, and it may not be able to enter the examiner's eyes. It was an impossible task to complete so many essay questions in two days, and to write the answers according to the examiner's style and memorize them all.

Therefore, from this point of view, this time, even if the question is leaked again, it will not have much impact on the candidates who get the exam questions.

It can be said that this time, Zhao Xu and Zhang Dian have done their best to achieve the fairness of the scientific expedition to the extreme of what human beings can do. The rest is just providence.

Ouyang Shutian got up as soon as he was bright, but Hu Qing'er got up earlier than him and had already helped him clean up everything silently. Books, pen and ink, and a hot breakfast. Even the toiletries and water were ready, and he waited for him to finish his washing and breakfast.

This time, the test started very early, as the candidates had to sit down before deciding on the questions. Ouyang Shu saw that everything had been arranged so finely, and his heart was filled with a kind of happiness of being taken care of, and his whole heart was warm. At the same time, he secretly had a wonderful feeling in his heart, and he was in a very good state today, and he also had an unprecedented optimism about this scientific expedition.

When I came to the Gongyuan, I felt that the guards here were very strict, and I felt that there was a post in three steps and a post in five steps. The enthusiasm for the work of these pampered palace guards today is unprecedentedly high, and almost every candidate has been searched to the bottom, and there is no place from head to toe, so they ordered everyone to walk in naked.

And the candidates can also understand the actions of the imperial court after leaking the questions, and the opportunity to retake the exam this time is not easy to come by, everyone is very cooperative, when they line up, they are quiet, and when they are checked, they are also very obedient to cooperate with the actions of the sergeants, so all this is not shocked.

After Ouyang Shu successfully passed the inspection, after some twists and turns, he finally found his position. To his surprise, there was already a person waiting in his place at this time. It was a man with a rather fair skin, so white that he couldn't even see a beard.

Ouyang Shu walked over and said, "Brother Tai, are you sitting in the wrong position? This should be my place!"

The man stood up, looked at Ouyang Shu carefully, with a flattering smile on his face, and said: You are Ouyang Shu, a student of Shezhou, Li Muwu? His voice was very feminine, making people listen to it as if something was scratching in the stomach, which was very uncomfortable.

Ouyang Shu was a little inexplicable, but he still nodded very seriously, and responded: "In the next place, may I ask Brother Tai for any advice?"

The man smiled even more flatteringly, almost a little charming, and he couldn't help but take a step back. The man didn't see Ouyang Shu's strange appearance at all, and said brightly: It's great to see Li Jieyuan, who am I, you will definitely know in the future, farewell!

Farewell? Without saying a word, just say goodbye? Fortunately, Ouyang Shu didn't have a good impression of this person, so he nodded and watched him go.

Ouyang Shu couldn't help but have a strange feeling in his heart: Could it be that he was just to confirm that I had referred to it? I don't seem to have such a big face, right? Besides, the Gongyuan is now so tightly sealed, if he is not a candidate, how did he get in?

After thinking about it for a while, he still didn't know, so he simply stopped and stopped thinking about it. Now he began to think about another question, that is, Xu Jiang. Ever since the last time he suffered that humiliating shut-off, he had always wanted to meet Xu Jiang and see what the famous beautiful man was really like.

With the arrival of candidate 66, the Gongyuan began to be noisy. However, since the candidates were separated by the examination booth and generally did not know each other, there was almost no verbal communication. These sounds are the footsteps of the candidates when they rush in.

Slowly, the voice began to fall silent. Gradually, the courtyard became quieter and quieter, except for some unwell candidates who coughed from time to time.

At this time, there was a bell outside, and everyone was in good spirits, knowing that this was the bell of the locked courtyard, and from this moment on, even if the candidates arrived, they would have to wait at least three years before they could enter this tribute courtyard.

At the same time, a fast horse galloped out of the forbidden area, and rushed out of the Xuande Gate under the eyes of the officials of various ministries, and went along the royal street towards the Gongyuan.

After a while, the tall horse came to the front of the Gongyuan, and the man on the horse jumped off the horse, and at the same time held up a bright yellow brocade high, and shouted: Your Majesty has chosen the will!
