Shen Shikang suspected that this was Gu Chengyu's test paper, but why was Yu Zheng so hesitant? And he deliberately screamed just now, just to see Yu Zheng's reaction, but found that Yu Zheng's face was a little abnormal, could it be that he had something to do with Gu Chengyu? Or do you simply want to please Xia Shoufu?

No! He felt that it was impossible, even if he wanted to please, it would not be so ugly.

There is no doubt that the questioning of this test paper is done well, and I heard that during the palace examination, the emperor stood behind Gu Chengyu for so long, although his face was expressionless, he knew that the emperor was extremely satisfied with this test paper. He didn't want to brush the tiger's whiskers, so it was inevitable to give the circle, even if he offended Xia Qing, he couldn't help it.

Besides, his relationship with Xia Qing was not harmonious. Xia Qing relied on himself as the first assistant of the cabinet and was domineering in the court. Even more so that he doesn't put the six ministries in his eyes, and now the officials from the south in the court don't know how many, and the court is about to become his Xia Qing's hall.

Originally, he also wanted to win over Xia Qing and give the second prince many powerful arms, but people didn't appreciate it, and there were several times against the second prince, so that the officials who took refuge in him participated in the officials who were placed in the criminal department, and then the official of the criminal department was removed from his position by the emperor.

There were several similar incidents, and a total of three officials placed by the second prince in the sixth ministry were pulled out, not including other places, which made him angry. He doesn't believe that Xia Qing is a pure minister, will this old fox not form a party for personal gain?

However, Xia Qing did not completely target the second prince, and the other princes also suffered from him. Therefore, after so many years, the ministers can't guess who Xia Qing is doing things for. Perhaps, he hasn't chosen the prince yet, right?

Yu Zheng hesitated, but he was not stupid! Shen Shikang looked at the other circle on the test paper, and it turned out that Yu Zheng still gave the circle in the end.

Of course Yu Zheng is not stupid, if he wants to clean up Gu Chengyu, he will still have a chance in the future, and he can't take risks at this moment. Besides, the emperor standing behind Gu Chengyu and watching his exam papers was not hearsay, but what he saw with his own eyes. If he doesn't give the circle, the emperor will investigate and reprimand him, and his face will be gloomy.

Besides, if you want to pull Gu Chengyu down from the top ten, such a dangerous thing, of course, Xia Qing has to do it. He supported the three princes, who were applied for by the emperor some time ago and put under house arrest. Although the ban was lifted in the end, after all, he was punished, of course he still had to be cautious, especially when he was about to establish a prince.

Even the eldest prince was lifted by the emperor and given an errand, intending to make up for his crimes. The second prince was even sent several errands by the emperor, but he still had nothing to do except King Jing. But King Jing has been crowned king, but the emperor has pity on him and hasn't gone to the fief yet!

The emperor had already excluded him, and he was not allowed to sit on the dragon chair with his body.

At present, the most threatening is the eldest prince, who is very strategic and ruthless, so he has to guard against it. As for the second prince, he has his own advantage, that is, he occupies the position of the son-in-law.

Otherwise, with the second prince's honest temperament without a city government, he may gain a firm foothold in the court?

Yu Zheng's mind turned around countless times, but his eyes were fixed on the exam paper in front of him. This test paper is also very neat, although it is slightly inferior to Gu Chengyu's calligraphy, the handwriting is also neat and upright, and there is no alteration in the content.

Then look down, the content is also acceptable, and it is still successful to enter the second class. He thought about it and gave a circle.

When the time came, the temple was already in charge. Xia Qing finished reading the test papers in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, looked at the twenty or thirty test papers left on the table, and thought that it would be over soon.

Although the other markers have already read those test papers, if there is no accident, he only needs to follow the results given by everyone. But even the worst test papers, he had to read them roughly before he could do it.

He put the one in his hand in the third-class pile, and picked up another one.

As soon as he saw the word, the corners of his lips hooked. As Min Feng's teacher, how could he not know his students' words? There is a total of a circle on the test paper, and he only needs to draw one circle at the end, which is eight.

Xia Qing didn't rush to put down the pen, but read the test paper. Although he was confident in Min Feng's test papers, he still wanted to see what Min Feng's shortcomings were, so that he could teach him strictly in the future.

However, after reading it, he nodded, Min Feng's strategy was good, and his basic skills were very solid. It's written very plainly and realistically. Xia Qing Shi Ran drew a circle on the test paper, then stamped his own seal, and put the test paper in the top ten.

The second and third grades can be determined by officials, but the top ten must be determined by the emperor. The emperor will only look at these ten copies and select the top three from them.

Xia Qing looked at a few more test papers and put his hand on the penultimate test paper. After reading so many exam papers, this is the most neat and well-written test paper he has ever seen. He looked at the circle above him and saw that there were already seven, and he frowned slightly.

The last circle is in his hand, and seeing these circles, it is self-evident whose volume belongs to him. Who else could there be besides Gu Chengyu?

He calmed down and looked at the officials at the head of the house, only to see that they all avoided his gaze and began to fill in the list one after another, and even Levi sorted out the top three test papers in front of him very seriously.

Who is a fool who rises and falls in the officialdom? The officials present in the palace test went out of the palace gate, and it was spread all over the city, the emperor made such an obvious move, who rushed to break ground on Tai Sui's head?

Xia Qing is just the first assistant, can he beat the emperor? Besides, once a son of heaven and a courtier, he boldly thought that in the future, when the new emperor ascended the throne, Xia Qing still didn't know what the situation was!

The final problem was given to Xia Qing, and he had to read Gu Chengyu's article carefully. Xia Qing had to admit that Gu Chengyu was a little stronger than Min Feng in his strategy.

If the two test papers are put together, there is no doubt that the test paper in front of you is a well-deserved first place.

Xia Qing did not hesitate, and directly drew a stroke on the test paper and put it in the top ten exam papers. This made the officials who were secretly observing Xia Qing all glance at each other, and then they all turned their heads as if nothing happened.

On April 23, before dawn, Gu Chengyu estimated that it was two o'clock when Cai Yin was touched, and as soon as he got up, Mingmo came to report that Ye Zhiqiu was here.

Gu Chengyu had just started to wash, and couldn't help but sigh that Ye Zhiqiu got up so early! It can't be a sleepless night, right?

After hurriedly washing up, Gu Chengyu straightened his clothes in the mirror, and looked at everything that was wrong before getting up and walking out. Today is the great ceremony of preaching, and all the tributes are present. Whether it's a dragon or a worm depends on today.

Ye Zhiqiu was waiting in the outer courtyard when he saw that Gu Chengyu had finally arrived. Hurriedly called, "Quick!" It's not too late. ”
