The two former friends can finally sit together peacefully again, but unfortunately this rare harmony did not last long.

Gong Shaoxue suddenly had a plan, and said with a pretended kindness: "Sister Xinyi, don't be sad about the matter of your husband depriving you of your official position, my husband has told me more than once, I don't want you to worry about political affairs anymore, saying that you are still in an official position as a princess, and it will make people laugh if you spread it, and it is not in line with the old practice for women to be in charge, so it is better to take this opportunity to retire and enjoy happiness." ”

Xiao Xiangyi's eyes showed a hint of mockery, and she replied calmly: "Let's talk about it!"

Gong Shaoxue looked at her with disdain, held back her temper and didn't lose her temper, and then said: "Okay, I'll talk about this later, I'll tell you everything that has happened in the past few months, and I'm sure you'll be stimulated enough!"

A month passed quickly, and a month later, the last item of the literary examination, the calligraphy and painting competition, officially began.

In the main hall, the ministers asked the underworld to ask questions.

Hades had already made up her mind and planned to take advantage of this opportunity to make a good deal of it, so she didn't shirk it as before.

She wanted to take revenge on Zhang Zhaoyang, and secretly swore in her heart that if she couldn't let him make a fool of herself in public, this girl would not be called Mu Ming'er.

This old man is really hateful, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have suffered that crime, and after watching the talent show for so long, he was about to vomit.

Today has to make him pay a price.

I had a bad idea in my heart, and deliberately said: "The last item of the literary examination needs to be more difficult, I plan to find a minister as an observer, and all candidates can refer to the image of this person to paint." The content of calligraphy and painting is not limited, who paints the like, whose artistic conception is good, can be ranked first, do you think, who is more suitable for this observation?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Zhaoyang in unison, and the old man Zhang was suddenly anxious, isn't this bullying, such a humiliating thing, the old man can't do it, and immediately wants to shrink back.

But he didn't want to scream: "Zhongqing's family is the same as I thought, such a heavy task is not Zhang Ge Lao is not up to the task, don't you hurry up and move a chair for Zhang Ge Lao, Zhang Ge Lao, it's up to you to work hard!"

Zhang Zhaoyang hurriedly made a statement, but listened to Ming'er and said in a calm tone: "Elder Zhang Ge, do you want to disobey?"

Zhang Zhaoyang was shocked, and he had no choice but to change his words: "The old minister obeys the order!"

So, Zhang Ge sat in front of many candidates with an old face.

When the invigilator announced the exam questions, in the square, all the candidates looked strange, and many people couldn't help laughing, slowly, the laughter became louder and louder, and finally the audience laughed, and there were whistles from time to time.

In the main hall, the ministers all lowered their heads, their shoulders kept moving, but in front of the eldest princess, no one dared to make a sound.

Old man Zhang is a good person and has a good reputation, but his popularity is very bad, and many people who have enemies with him feel that the arrangement of the eldest princess is really suitable, and he is so relieved to look at it.

Zhang Zhaoyang's old face was blushing at first, and he couldn't wait to get into it in an orderly way, but then he was also a little annoyed, thinking that if you like to laugh, laugh, anyway, I am the order of the loyal king, what is there to be ashamed of.

I thought about it, so I was embarrassed, and I used my mana to say quietly: "Laugh, laugh, laugh for a while, the time is up, everyone just wait to hand in the white paper!"

Only then did the candidates suddenly realize, shouted in unison, and began to draw in a panic.

It's just that in such a landscape, it is really difficult to calm down and paint well.

Many candidates are in the same state, looking up at Old Man Zhang, looking at him after a few glances and wanting to laugh, his attention is always unable to concentrate.

Many people choose to close their eyes and meditate, intending to stabilize their emotions before continuing to paint, but they did not expect that when they opened their eyes and looked at Old Man Zhang again, the old man began to make a bad intention.

I saw the old man Zhang sitting on a chair, looking leisurely, holding a teapot, looking at Xiao Jiaerlang with a smile, and making a grimace from time to time.

Now, everyone can't control their emotions again, and many people are happy while writing straight on paper.

In a festive atmosphere, Zhang Gelao's masterpieces were born.

There are Zhang Ge old water playing, there are Zhang Ge old fishing, there are Zhang Ge old chasing dogs, there are Zhang Ge old climbing trees, there are Zhang Ge old kite flying pictures, and Zhang Ge old and monsters fight against the masterpiece, it can be described as varied, strange.

Among them, there is a candidate who writes the most ruthlessly, this person has average literary style, but he is good at Danqing, and his results in the first few subjects are not ideal.

This person wanted to score some points in this competition, but his laughter was too low, and he couldn't stabilize his mind.

When I was about to receive the manuscript, I felt that this subject was probably going to be finished, and I couldn't help but scold in my heart, who thinks of this lack of moral idea, isn't this a pit person!

Then he was angry with Old Man Zhang, did you say that you can't sit honestly, what are you messing around, look, you see, the old guy is still grimacing, I just shame you!

This kid was originally a gentleman, he didn't have any real talent and learning, he was good at Danqing and he was also a sword, and he loved to draw a picture of the Spring Palace on weekdays.

Lingxi moved, referring to the image of Zhang Ge Lao, the two pictures of the Spring Palace were swiped, and he worked hard to conceive other pictures, and it was really easy to draw this.

Between the sketches, two masterpieces of the Spring Palace are displayed in front of him.

One is a picture of Zhang Ge sitting on a lotus, the old man Zhang in the picture, sitting naked on a chair, and a handsome woman also sitting in his arms without a single inch, taking the momentum of sitting on the golden lotus.

If this painting can barely be called art, the next one is downright evil.

In this painting, there are only two people, and the painting is still the chair, but Zhang Ge Lao is lying naked on the chair, and there is a big man standing behind him, naked and holding his waist...

After this person finished drawing, he admired it for a while, and felt quite satisfied, so he didn't dare to sign his real name, put the drawing paper upside down on the table, and waited for the invigilator to come and collect the paper.

He is not worried about being discovered, there is a temporary abstention in every subject of the exam, and his two masterpieces are not signed, who can guess who drew them.

Even if he guessed, he wouldn't be afraid, this branch is also a big family in the Xiao clan, and it has a lot of power in the court, even if Old Man Zhang knows that he painted it himself, how can he still dare to settle accounts with himself?

After a while, when the time came for the end of the exam, the invigilator began to collect the paintings, and the man smiled as he watched as the papers were taken away, and left the square with everyone generously.

In the side hall on the side of the main hall, several judges looked at the picture scrolls together, everyone's expressions were a little weird, no matter which picture scroll they looked at, they all felt very funny, Zhang Ge Lao, as a fair representative, was of course one of the judges.

Several other judges were hindered by Zhang Ge's face, and they didn't dare to laugh if they wanted to, and they were really panicked.

In a strange atmosphere, the marking work was carried out in an orderly manner, flipping through and flipping, and two spring palace pictures appeared in front of everyone.

Several people were stunned for a moment, then they all watched carefully, looked down at the picture, and then looked up at Zhang Gelao, one by one, as if they had dysentery, and their whole bodies couldn't stop shaking.

Zhang Ge Lao was also trembling, he was angry, which rabbit cub drew this? It's so lacking in morality, how can there be such a spoiled person!

In a fit of rage, the person rushed out of the side hall, and the Dharma body appeared outside the hall, flew into the air, and scolded loudly: "Which bastard thing, dare to paint and humiliate the old man, and stand up for the old man!"

After receiving a few god-extinguishing cannons, the Dharma Body was still self-reliant and did not disperse, and several other judges hurriedly rushed out of the side hall and persuaded Zhang Ge with good words.

Zhang Zhaoyang dispersed the Dharma body at this time, and after the body landed, he spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and clasped his fists at a few people and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the old man is unwell and is no longer suitable to be a judge, so I will leave." ”

After finishing speaking, he ignored the others and left alone.

That night, Yi Pei told Mu Jinyun in detail the story that happened today.

The latter was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Who is so bad, he is really talented, if he dares to take the initiative to stand up and admit it, this king can spare his life." ”

"What the king said is very true, this person is very good, the paintings are beautiful and beautiful, the king left this person, and he can also solve the boredom in the future, the king, do you need to investigate it secretly?"

"Forget it, it's still important to get down to business, don't pay attention to this person. ”

Yi Pei obeyed.

Mu Jinyun said: "You little master can really mess around, how can you let the old court pavilion be a model, isn't this deliberately a slut?

Yi Pei and others also laughed together.

Mu Jinyun asked again: "This Zhang Ge Lao is also a wonderful person, and he has indirectly pitted many children of the Xiao family, what is the reputation of this person, can he be retained?"

Yi Pei hurriedly replied: "This person has a good reputation, he is upright, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is also loyal to Princess Xiao." I advised Princess Xiao several times before, don't overindulge the clansmen, so as not to raise tigers, but unfortunately Princess Xiao didn't like to listen, but snubbed him, but she was a usable person. ”

Mu Jinyun pondered for a while, and said to Yi Pei: "In the name of the eldest princess, you passed on the king's order to him, ordering him to recuperate in the mansion, and he didn't have to participate in the later competitions, and after the state banquet, hehe..."

Yi Pei smiled: "If he is not stupid, the king can obtain the loyalty of a capable minister." ”

Daquan said flatteringly: "Weichen suggested that the king find some reasons to let some available people either think about it behind closed doors, or send them out of the city, and try to avoid that catastrophe." After the catastrophe, those people must be grateful for the king's kindness, and from then on they will die for the king, and there will be no second thoughts. ”

"Well, that's a great idea!" Makitsu applauded.

"Yi Pei, Daquan, you work harder, sort out the list of those available people for me as soon as possible, find a reason for them to avoid that catastrophe, they really can't hide, when you do it, you need to screen them one by one according to the list, and you can't kill them all in one go." ”

"Weichen obeys!" "Yi Pei and Daquan bowed down to receive the order.

Mu Jinyun smiled and waved his hand, and after a few more words, he let the two go back, and he disappeared into the room.

Outside the door of the house, seeing the two poisonous people coming out happily, Yan'er felt curious, and was very puzzled, Miss has been frequently convening them recently, and the number of secret discussions has become more and more, and the time is getting longer and longer, I don't know what conspiracy is being planned.

Asked Miss, Miss refused to say anything, just let herself wait for the show to happen, alas, what kind of show is it, it's really anxious!
