When I woke up, the sky changed.

"Oh no, Li Zhen, did you inadvertently offend someone?"

"Don't sleep Li Zhen, get up quickly, Zhongzhou is turning the sky upside down."

“……”

In a daze, Li Zhen was woken up by Mingkang and Qi stunned.

sat up, but found that the crown prince Xun Shifei was also in the house, his face gloomy and uncertain.

Li Xin felt a sudden surprise, and felt a hint of bad flavor: "What's wrong?" ”

Ming Kang's face was anxious: "Someone is behind the scenes, and overnight, rumors spread throughout Zhongzhou." Rumors about you. ”

"My rumors? What rumors do I have? ”

There was a look of surprise and uncertainty in Mingkang's eyes, and he muttered: "People say that your champion is mixed with water, I am afraid that it is the champion of water in the heavens and underground Kyushu for a hundred years." Some people say that you cheat, some people say that you are cheating, and some people say that you are lucky and have won the favor of the examiner, so you are the first. They are based on...... Mathematics, physics and chemistry, in the three test papers, there are five questions in which you are wrong, but because of the five wrong questions, you have become the first champion in Kyushu. ”

Li Zhen stood up suddenly: "How can this be? My exam papers are all verified. ”

"Yes, it's validation. The people don't believe it. Some people guide public opinion and spread rumors, saying that you are the only champion who has completed cheating in a hundred years. Saying that you don't have real talent and learning, all kinds of remarks emerge one after another. Overnight, just overnight. ”

The prince remained silent and silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Zhen hurriedly got up and dressed, and his unkempt hair didn't care about washing, and strode towards the outside of the prince's mansion.

'Squeak'

pushed open the door, but saw that the front of the prince's house was already crowded, and many people were pointing around. Seeing Li Zhen come out, the people exploded:

"Fake champion, you lied to us so badly."

"Say, are you an opportunistic champion?"

"Li Zhen, you explain why your five questions are all wrong answers, but someone says that you are wrong and right?"

"No wonder you got a 530 out of 480. It turns out that you are simply opportunistic. ”

"The champion was originally Xun Shitian, a person with a perfect score in the same period, you are so shameless."

“……”

Listening to these words, Li Zhen's face was expressionless, but he understood a little in his heart.

He only heard one keyword - Xun Shitian!

The people of the Xun family. A man of royalty.

Is he a perfect score this year?

Then it's no wonder.

If there is someone behind this to manipulate public opinion, there is no need to think about it, it must be this Xun Shitian. A few of his own standard answers, with a bonus of fifty, became the first in Kyushu. And he, who was originally a perfect score, was supposed to be the champion, but because of himself, he fell into the list. According to common sense, if it were me, I would not be convinced.

Prince Xun Shifei walked out quietly, and Lang shouted: "Nothing to do with people and wait for them to retreat!" ”

Then he grabbed Li Zhen in without saying anything, closed the door by the way, and was silent.

Li Zhen smiled bitterly: "Brother Ling's ......"

"You don't need to say it, I know what's going on."

Li Zhen sighed, not knowing what to say. In fact, everything is not afraid of the verification of the truth, but it is afraid of the rumors of the people on the streets.

The people don't understand your formula, they can't understand your correct answer or the standard answer. As long as someone leads the public opinion, they will only admit that the answers to the five questions do not match the standard answers. But they won't listen to you explain why it doesn't match. They don't understand either.

After a long time, Xun Shifei sighed and said: "Junior brother, don't have any knots, the people say, let them say it." You are the first champion of Kyushu recognized by the imperial court, so you don't need to worry about any rumors. Now, just go into the Eight Dragons City and meet the Holy One. Then listen to the arrangement of the imperial court and report to the university. This rumor will be dispelled in the test of time. The lifespan of this rumor is only for a few days. ”

"I understand. I'm not afraid of any rumors, I'm just ......"

"You don't need to worry about the royal brother of this palace."

As he spoke, Xun Shifei's eyes flashed with a look of slaughter: "You are the champion recognized and respected by this palace, and any conspiracy and trickery will be wiped out under the righteousness of Haoran." This palace protects you, no one in this world dares to harm you except the Son of Heaven, as long as you don't forget, the current prince is this palace! ”

A passage said that Li Zhenxin was shocked.

With a political IQ that is not low, he understood the meaning of the prince's words. This is...... It's time to take sides. This is, to co-opt themselves as princelings.

There are parties among the officials and the opposition. And there are various parties in the royal family. The royal parties can be classified into two categories, one is the princeling party and the other is the princeling party.

The princelings are literal, mainly around the people gathered around the prince. Help him ascend the throne, and on the day he ascends the throne, you will be the minister of the humerus.

And the princelings and princelings have similar meanings, they are ambitious and potential princes. This is also the characteristic of Kyushu for the 10,000th year of the new calendar.

Because the Kyushu Empire's choice of the crown prince is not to establish a successor, but to be full of infinite variables. Virtuous and virtuous. In other words, as long as the Son of Heaven does not die one day, any prince who is better than the prince among the princes below may change the prince.

And this leads to the battle for the crown prince is extremely cruel.

This is the unique Gu cultivation mode of the royal family, and he has always turned a blind eye to the competition between princes, and in the end, the one who stays is the best heir.

This is a cruel cannibalism for flesh and blood, but there is a group of people who hold the opinion: if you want to carry the crown, you must bear its weight. Born in the emperor's family, he shouldered the lifeblood of Kyushu, if he could be exchanged for the most sensible ruler of the country's sharp weapons at the cost of a cruel handful of people, it would be worth it.

Li Zhen believes that this kind of policy of changing the prince at any time, which is full of variables, is full of unscience. But...... This has been the case for thousands of years, and no one can change it.

Li Zhen is not stupid, he can see clearly, Xun Shifei, the crown prince of the East Palace, does not seem to be as indestructible as he imagined. At this time, an eighth prince Xun Shitian appeared, and Xun Shifei's status was a little crisis.

But it's none of my business. It's such a coincidence that he happened to be a candidate at the same time as the Eighth Emperor Xun Shitian, and he was the champion, but he was the leader.

Perhaps, this exam is related to Xun Shitian's plan to seize the reserve. But a self appeared in the sky, and he lost all the games he destroyed.

If you're not mistaken, you seem to be involved in a whirlpool before you know it, right?

Alas.

"There is a priority in learning, and the elders are respected. Junior Li Zhen naturally obeyed the orders of his seniors. ”

Li Zhen clenched his fists and bowed to the prince.

Xun Shifei's eyes flashed with a look of relief, and he was happy in his heart for Li Zhen's arrival, and he couldn't help but show a smile, and hurriedly bowed to Li Zhen. It looks like a salute, and this is a return salute.

"The junior brother is serious. From today on, my brother will be the crown prince for one day, and you will not be harmed in any way. ”

The two bowed to each other, and the prince stopped and helped Li Zhen up. The two looked at each other and smiled.

Li really smiled wryly.

How can I choose?

Do I have a second option other than joining the princelings?

Li Zhen felt bitter in his heart, this is considered a complete calf, and he has not yet entered Beijing, and the eighth prince has completely become his mortal enemy.

It is a sworn enemy. An enemy who never dies, a mortal enemy who has never met and doesn't know what it looks like.

"Prepare the wine! The palace wants to have a drink with the junior brother and see him off to the Eight Dragons City. ”

“……”

Prince's bedroom. Small collapse, small table, two plates of side dishes, a pot of sake. The room was full of sandalwood, and it was cold and cold, only two people sat opposite each other.

"This time to Eight Dragon City, you can let it go. You don't need to worry about any troubles, whoever bullied you, you can go back to the field, and if you can't find it, I'll help you find it. My junior, you should be domineering. ”

The prince's face was slightly drunk, and he smiled and said something that made people chill in the back.

Li Zhen was just a promise, but he didn't answer. He won't do anything about holding chicken feathers as an arrow, just listen to the prince's promise.

He was just shocked by the prince's duplicity. treats the maids, the prince can be obedient and favorable. treated his own brother with murderous spirit outside his words, without the slightest emotion at all, which made Li Zhenzhen cold and lamented the cold-bloodedness of being born in the emperor's family.

"Maybe it's too much to say, and it's enough to convey the meaning in place. I won't accompany you back to Eight Dragons City, I'll be two days late for you. Relax, if you are the champion, then no one can do anything to you. Neither can the prince. ”

Is that so straightforward? Li Zhenxin carefully pondered every word of the prince, and did not dare to take it lightly.

The prince patted him on the shoulder again: "Why hesitate? Have you ever heard that the Xun family has a history of cutting their own wings? Last night's conversation, you impressed me, your pattern is far from as simple as the world thinks. And your dream, I can give you, because we have the same dream, which is to make this country better. The same way, so for the sake of the scheme. ”

Li Zhen smiled bitterly: "I'm leaving." ”

The prince got up to see him off, watched Li Zhen's back go away, and called leisurely: "Tell the palace what the junior brother needs." Wait until you fulfill the five-year covenant. It's not just a southeastern state that will be handed over to you when the time comes. ”

Li Zhen was shocked, but he didn't dare to turn back and answer, and strode away.

What is it, when I woke up, I inexplicably became the enemy of the Eighth Prince, and inexplicably worshiped the princelings.

Ming Kang and the others also sensed the seriousness of the matter, and did not dare to say more, and a team of people left Jinzhou County in a depressed atmosphere and quickly headed towards Balong City.
