"How could this rebel be so disobedient?"

When Hong Xuanji heard what Steward Wu said, he was immediately angry, and he raised his feet and walked towards the examination room, preparing to arrest Hong Yi back and let him stay at home.

At this time, although it is five or six o'clock in the morning, the spring day is not long, such as today, the color is not bright, there are not many pedestrians on the road, and the weather is still a little cold.

Hong Xuanji rushed all the way under this bright sky, and it took less than half an hour to come to the outside of the examination room.

It's just that although the sky is dark and cold.

However, near the periphery of the examination room for the imperial examination, the smell of rice and paper and ink wafted in.

Hong Xuanji saw thousands of scholars and talented people walking back and forth here, looking a little anxious or excited, all welcoming the upcoming imperial examination, which was exactly the same as the scene of Zhao Zhou's imperial examination three years ago.

But in this same place, in the same state of beings.

Zhao Zhou, who used to be a 'lifter', was sitting on the main seat of the big pavilion in the examination room at this time, closing his eyes and recuperating, waiting for the time to come, and let the candidates enter to prepare. While listening to the movements within a radius of hundreds of meters, listen to what interesting things these talents are talking about.

However, it was also at this time.

Zhao Zhou suddenly sensed that Hong Xuanji's breath was coming, but he pondered for a while, opened his eyes, and looked at a slightly arrogant deputy examiner next to him and said, "Deputy examiner Wang." Students are admitted to the exam room in advance. It's freezing on this day, don't freeze your body and affect the exam preparation. ”

Today is a big day for Zhao Zhou to be the main exam. Zhao Zhou didn't want to have so many contradictions, so he just let the candidates come in early now, and let Hong Xuanji understand the principle of this 'family affair and state affair'.

But in short.

It is Hong Xuanji who beats the child, and you can wait for the child to go home after the exam before playing. However, you still have to take the regular exam, don't 'make no distinction between the severity and the severity', and make yourself embarrassed to convict your friend of 'disrupting the examination room'.

Again.

Zhao Zhou also really wanted the candidates to come in the examination room early to warm up, but the original time was too early, and it was really impossible to be accommodating, and the rules of the imperial examination could not be too broken.

At least wait until dawn at this time, and the candidates do not need to 'sign for admission' with lanterns.

"The heart of the main examiner is sent to the talents of the world, and the heart of mercy is passed on to the world!" The examiners heard that Zhao Zhou cared so much about the talents outside the door, and then flattered them one after another. In particular, they have a sufficient foundation in literature and ink, and all kinds of sought-after words are not repeated.

"Examiner, this is not in accordance with the rules.." But the deputy examiner next to Zhao Zhou, when he heard that Zhao Zhou was going to change the rules, he saluted with his hands, said, and said some big laws.

From this point of view, Zhao Zhou has been in the dynasty for two years, not only have ministers who pursue him, but also many people who do not agree with Zhao Zhou.

For example, this deputy examiner Wang is one of the 'incompatible people!' ’

is the kind of minister who wants to impeach Zhao Zhou all the time, otherwise he will not be happy in his heart, and he will have no taste for eating!

"Deputy Wang's words are wrong." And when Zhao Zhou heard that this deputy Wang was a subordinate, he dared to contradict himself, and he also waved his hand, interrupting his words and saying: "Rules are dead, people are alive."

Zhao Zhou said, not moved by the law of Daqian, but took out the token, handed it to him and said: "And Ben Hou is now the main exam." It's not just today's ban arrangements and imperial examination rules. Or be accommodating and etiquette, and do things with people. I can't allow you to take the deputy exam. ”

"You!" Deputy Wang choked for a moment, and saw that there was no deputy examiner to help him speak, and suddenly his face was obviously angry!

It's just that he also knows that the rules are set by the main exam, and as a subordinate, he can only follow them.

So, as if he was holding back his anger, he didn't want to say more, picked up Zhao Zhou's token, and got up and left.

But actually.

He was excited with joy in his heart, and while leading people to open the examination room, he took this opportunity to first draw up a Zhao Zhou's unruly recital in his heart, and then wait for the imperial examination to fall, and then join Zhao Zhou's book!

But.

Although Zhao Zhou knew what this person thought, he was not afraid of the intrigues of such a young person.

Or that the more stiff he is with these ministers, the more Yang Pan will believe in himself.

This is also the so-called 'imperial trade-off'.

As long as you hold a group by yourself, it doesn't matter what others think.

But on the other hand, if you get along with all the ministers, everyone will be convinced of them in their hearts.

So, who is this emperor?

So far.

When Zhao Zhou thought of this, he couldn't help but feel that Cao Cao and Emperor Qin were still simple-minded, and they were the same as themselves. No wonder he and them can work together to create a prosperous dynasty! ’

And when Zhao Zhou was thinking about this person's unpredictability.

Hong Xuanji, who was outside the imperial examination, saw that the imperial examination had not yet arrived, so he walked out of more than a dozen examiners, and when he let the candidates enter the venue in advance, he pondered for a few times and guessed the meaning of his friend.

"Zhuang Yuanlang doesn't seem to want to get along with some ministers, so he will knowingly find a reason to let people have the opportunity to participate in his book. And this will also make you unique in the court, and you will gain the trust of the saints."

"And beyond that. This early opening of the exam, could it be that I, a rebel, met Zhuang Yuanlang during this period, and then the champion Lang gave him protection and did not let me take him away. Or is Zhuang Yuanlang purely afraid that I will break the rules, so he will start the exam in advance. ”

Hong Xuanji thought for a moment, and after guessing these three inferences, he did not return to his mansion, but held the acupoint map of the human immortal in his hand, and found a place to stand at random, waiting for the imperial examination to be finished.

This is also to show with action that he is very face-saving and will not enter the examination room to arrest people.

But the matter of this 'rebel' still has to be explained clearly.

Equally.

Zhao Zhou, who was in the examination room, saw Hong Yi enter the examination room, Hong Xuanji was still standing in place, and did not follow him immediately, because he knew that Hong Xuanji wanted to say something.

But Zhao Zhou understood, but he didn't go out of the examination room to say one or two, explaining anything.

Because as the main exam, I must sit in the town! How can you easily get out of the exam room, it seems like what's going on!

So it seems. This Hong Xuanji insisted on waiting to ask me for an explanation, and it can be seen that the relationship between the two of them is really incompatible, and it is difficult to mediate at present. ’

Zhao Zhou thought about it, nodding in return to the candidates who entered the venue to salute him, and at the same time was thinking about the future.

And with the fall of this imperial examination, plus his success in the past two days. I'm sure I'll also know about the fact that I asked the Xianghu King to send Hong Yi Daoshu. ’

In this way, although Hong Xuanji has a good temper, if he knows that a close friend throws a knife at him behind his back, he will definitely be furious. ’

Even if I used any excuse for family harmony, it was useless. ’

'Because this revenge of killing my mother is not something that I, an "outsider", can meddle in at will..'

Zhao Zhou thought for a few breaths, thinking that Hong Xuanji's current relationship could not be broken, and then calculated again, took a blink of an eye, thought of a perfect countermeasure, and waited for the imperial examination to be completed, and said to Hong Xuanji and said to try.

And also with the passage of time.

The sun sets in the west mountain, and the imperial examination ends.

When the candidates are either happy or sad.

Zhao Zhou asked a deputy examiner to go outside the examination room to invite Hong Xuanji to come over, and on the other hand, he asked another deputy examiner to take Hong Yi, who was 'North 72', to leave from the other end of the examination room.

Save yourself from talking about the strategy, the father and son meet, and have a bitter hatred. At that time, no reason will be effective, and all that will be left is the anger of wanting to kill the other party.

"Champion Lang."

When Hong Xuanji was invited to the big pavilion by the examiner, he may not have met the 'rebel', and his mentality was quite normal.

This is also the day he stood outside and figured it out, feeling that he had calculated so much, it was better to ask in person and understand everything.

"Ladies and gentlemen." When Zhao Zhou saw Hong Xuanji coming, he didn't say anything first, but bowed his hand to the examiners around him, signaling them to leave first after collecting the papers, and he still had something important to talk about with Wuhou.

"Marquis Wen, Marquis Wu." The examiners have been officials for many years, and they are also people who understand. After collecting the rolls, one held his hand, and left one after another, without stopping.

And in three or four minutes, the people are gone.

There are only two people left in the huge examination room, Zhao Zhou and Hong Xuanji.

Zhao Zhou also took a false seat of the chair, took two clean cups, and scattered a little good red robe.

Subsequently.

After the tea was brewed, Zhao Zhou said as if chatting: "Xuanji, you have the post of imperial examination inspector in the court, and you have the authority to go to and from the examination room. Why did you wait outside the venue and not come to the pavilion to drink tea? ”

"There is no noise in the examination room, and there is no talk about irrelevant things." Hong Xuanji took a sip of tea, "And I came to Zhuang Yuanlang today to say, and I didn't say anything about the imperial examination." Then why should I break the rules and make it difficult for the champion. ”

"Thank you." Zhao Zhou bowed his hand, and it was also a Ming man who didn't say secret words, knowing what Hong Xuanji wanted to ask.

So, there's no nonsense going on.

Zhao Zhou directly preemptively explained all the things about today's 'imperial examination' and that day's 'Xianghu King's gift of books'.

Among them, he also knew the 'grievances' of their father and son, and insisted on secretly helping Hong Yi!

Then.

is not out of Zhao Zhou's thoughts.

Wait until you just finished talking.

Hong Xuanji heard that his friend knew the relationship between his father and son, but he still did it, and suddenly his heart was angry, and then his heart ached, and he smashed all the records of the 'Human Immortal Acupoint' in his hand into pieces!

"Zhao Zhou! Why are you doing that? ”

In particular, Hong Xuanji is also angry and unstable, and he doesn't want to say much to Zhao Zhou, so he wants to leave here, and he has the right to 'know no one!' ’

But then.

When Hong Xuanji was about to get up and leave, he suddenly thought about it, and glanced back at Zhao Zhou, whose face had not changed, and then wondered: "Zhuang Yuanlang, you obviously know about the things in my family, but why are you like this?" Could it be that during my time in retreat, what happened that caused me and the two of us to have some misunderstanding? That's what the champion will do.."

Let's be honest.

Hong Xuanji was able to break through the human immortal so quickly. Among them, there are also some 'theoretical' help from Zhao Zhou.

This is not an exaggeration!

Therefore, when Zhao Zhou 'participated in the plan' a few years ago, Hong Xuanji would help Zhao Zhou speak.

That's exactly what happened.

Hong Xuanji feels that the friendship between the two should be called 'friends of life and death!' There's no reason for such a 'clear estrangement', for sure 'something is wrong there!' ’

'Zhuangyuanlang did this, as if he deliberately let me see. It's better to cut off his kindness to me..' Hong Xuanji thought about it for a while, and suddenly thought of Zhao Zhou's deliberate bad rules this morning, giving people a reason to impeach him!

"I don't know the mystery."

Similarly, when Zhao Zhou asked Hong Xuanji, his face also changed from calm to an expression of 'Xuanji really understands me', as if he really had something unspeakable, and sighed and said: "You and I have both entered the court as officials, and over the years, the people in the court know that you and I have even made friends."

When Zhao Zhou said this, he also stood up, first glanced around, and then said, "However, today is different from the past. Because you and I are now extremely powerful ministers, with power leaning towards the government and the opposition, and even making friends. ”

"Although you and I have no other intentions towards Daqian, but people are terrible, and there will always be people who speak falsely in private, and they will reach the ears of the saints. Say that we are the power to cover the master. ”

Zhao Zhou said it meaningfully, and he didn't say more.

However, the implication is that the two of them are both civil and military wizards, and it is inevitable that some ministers with a 'purpose' will say something, and then make today's saints have some 'doubts'.

For example, some ministers want to rumor that Zhao Zhou and Hong Xuanji will not launch a rebellion. Then the saint learned that even if the saint did not believe, he would definitely guard against it.

Thereupon.

Zhao Zhou was afraid that such a thing would happen, so he took out a little 'moth' from Hong Yi, which made outsiders seem that there was some contradiction between himself and Hong Xuanji.

Therefore, this can also make the Holy Lord more assured to perform the 'Balancing Power Technique'!

And so it seems.

Zhao Zhou's purpose in cultivating Hong Yi is not like for big business in the future, but like for himself and Hong Xuanji, a good friend, to gain the trust of the saint, so he secretly cultivated Hong Yi's 'balance point'.

Because for everyone, when Hong Yi was born, he had no vision of heaven and earth at all, and he had no superb qualifications.

So in addition to Zhao Zhouhui's prediction of who the 'Son of Great Thousand Luck of the Era Tribulation is', it is simply ridiculous to want to cultivate an 'ordinary scholar Hong Yi' to kill the 'Human Immortal Hong Xuanji', and it is not an exaggeration!

So to sum it up.

After listening to Zhao Zhou's words, Hong Xuanji found that Zhao Zhou's purpose seemed to be explained only by maintaining 'balance'.

Just because, Hong Xuanji thought about it for a day and found that he and Zhao Zhou had no grievances or hatreds, but were best friends.

But in short.

Zhao Zhou's strategy today is 'nine truths and one fake!' ’

But if he asked Hong Xuanji to investigate, then he would find that everything Zhao Zhou said was 'true', and he couldn't find where the 'fake' was!

In other words, as long as Hong Xuanji can't predict the future, then Zhao Zhou's words like today are not lies at all, but they are reasonable, thinking about the two of them.

"It turned out that Zhuang Yuanlang was afraid that the saint would misunderstand you and I would have the heart of rebellion."

And Hong Xuanji calculated this conclusion, but suddenly laughed out loud, and said to Zhao Zhou sincerely: "Zhuangyuanlang, you are too careful." Good to know. Today's saint is a rare emperor in the ages, comparable to the emperor of ancient times, and his heart is like the starry sky at night. How can you listen to the rumors of some rebellious ministers and thieves? ”

Hong Xuanji said, and whispered again: "And I finished last night and heard a letter from the palace." I know that the saint will come to you in these two days and talk to me about 'creation'! ”

"At this point, I see that Zhuang Yuanlang is absent-minded. Then I will speak some words first, and then I will ask the Holy One for my sin. ”

Hong Xuanji said this, turning into a secret voice message, "And I have deduced that the saint should have reached the Six Tribulations of Ghost Immortal cultivation now, and his strength is unpredictable and uncheckable. Not to mention that the Boat of Creation is a supreme artifact, and it is not afraid of the turmoil of the whole dynasty at all! ”

"The Holy One can suppress Xiao Xiao by himself, and he is not afraid of any rumors and rebellion!"

A golden light appeared in Hong Xuanji's eyes, and as he spoke, he bowed in the direction of the palace, and then rumored, "And as long as you and I are loyal to the saint, we will be conscientious." Then the future epochal catastrophe will no longer fall on you and me. ”

'The Six Tribulations of Ghosts and Immortals. The Boat of Creation..' When Zhao Zhou heard these two news, he thought about it in his heart, but his face was a little self-blaming, as if he had spent the 'belly of a gentleman' in the saint with the 'heart of a villain', and said: "It's Zhao Zhou who is still shallow and cranky. I secretly contacted Hong Yi, thinking that this would maintain the right to balance."

"Not yet." Hong Xuanji returned to his position and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Zhou, "As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger." And I used to follow the Holy Lord, and I was so careful before I had the Holy Lord's trust. Therefore, it is right for Zhuang Yuanlang to be so careful, and it can also let the saint see that Champion Lang not only has the 'benevolence' for the people, but also the 'loyalty' for the sake of the saint's way of weighing. ”

Hong Xuan's words fell, and when he saw that the 'misunderstanding' between the two was solved, a smile appeared on his face. But he was even a little afraid, afraid that if he hadn't asked so much just now, wouldn't he have missed this 'Taoist friend' who was helpful to his martial arts.

"That's mystery, this thing.." Zhao Zhou also saw that the two were 'reconciled as before', and he also wanted to reconcile this 'misunderstanding'.

"This matter has been revealed." Hong Xuanji shook his head and didn't talk about it.

"Then on the day I wait for the review of the file, I will brush down Hong Yi's file." Zhao Zhou saw that Hong Xuanji was so generous, and he also 'repaid his kindness'.

But when Hong Xuanji heard this, he frowned, and said squarely: "Zhuang Yuanlang is now the main exam, but Mo is acting in anger!"

Hong Xuanji said, straightening his body, "Champion Lang." My disobedient child, how much should the answer sheet be, how much, don't let Zhuang Yuanlang be impeached because of my disobedient child, and cause more trouble. Isn't that the same as a previous misunderstanding? ”

When Hong Xuanji said these words, although he was very happy that Zhao Zhou helped him with things, he also felt that it was not worth it because of a trivial matter, and there was no need to bother with it.

And this is why he doesn't know what Hong Yi will be like in the future, so he will be so inexplicably confident!

But no matter why.

In fact, it can also be seen from what Hong Xuanji said, no matter when or who it is.

As long as it is a 'very good friend', after breaking off the relationship, and 'lost and regained', then in this short period of time, they will subconsciously 'shush and ask for warmth' for each other, and maintain such a 'good friendship with friends' everywhere.

But if you don't have the mind of 'subconscious maintenance', it is still that the friendship between the two is not deep enough, or it is more inclined to 'material and practical benefits!' ’

Such 'best friends' are also dispensable.

And Zhao Zhou also took advantage of Hong Xuanji's 'maintenance, or actual material thoughts', to reveal the matter of "Hong Yi Juanzi", and then fell into the next move.

"Since it can't be done. Then as long as Hong Yi is over, or not, he will be arranged to go to the army first and go to the battlefield to fight. Zhao Zhou said to Hong Xuanji, thought for a moment, and then said: "And where Hong Yi goes, I also think about it." What is the army of the champion Hou? ”

"Champion Hou?" Hong Xuanji thought about it left and right, and after thinking of the personality of the champion Hou, he suddenly smiled and said: "This plan is very wonderful!"

Hong Xuanji is the prime minister, and he is a scheming person, of course, he also knows that although this 'champion Hou' is approachable on the surface, he is actually narrow-minded, very jealous, and a kind of 'evil poison' who can't tolerate others'! ’

It is conceivable that with Hong Yi's 'literati arrogance' and 'prominent status as the son of Wuhou', of course, there is no good fruit to eat, let alone any 'great achievements'! ’

Similarly, in Hong Xuanji's mind, such a sentence from Zhuang Yuanlang obviously forced Hong Yi to death! It is also a significant easing of the two people's close relationship! ’

Especially Hong Xuanji still thinks about operating by himself, and then giving a letter to the champion Hou, with his own face, then it is difficult for this rebel to study in the army! It must be a day and night drill of 'being reasonable and reasonable'!

In this way, don't say whether Hong Yi can be admitted or not, and wait for next year's exam.

Just talking about this kind of practice, it is estimated that after a period of time, Hong Yi will not even be able to pick up a pen!

It's just that although Hong Xuanji thinks very well, he doesn't know.

Zhao Zhou and Champion Hou have a 'hidden friendship' here for two or three years, not to mention selling their lives and death, but if they let Champion Hou throw off Hong Xuanji's face, and then let Hong Yi make a military merit and read a book, it will still be an easy thing!

Thereupon.

After the two finished talking about the plan to let Hong Yi join the army, they looked at each other and smiled, replacing wine with tea, and they both felt that 'this plan is very good!' 'Be a foolproof way to be bloodless!'
