There was nothing to say for another night, and the next morning, Fang Haoze washed up, went out neatly, and went to the house of the Seventh Prince. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After passing through the third ring and the second ring, Fang Haoze's carriage arrived at the prince's mansion in the first ring.

There was still a block away, and Mingyun stopped the carriage. The first ring is a royal land, and outsiders' carriages are not allowed to enter.

Fang Haoze got out of the carriage and walked to the prince's mansion by himself, the porter had long known this Fang Gongzi from Jinling. So he brought a chair and sent someone to the inner courtyard.

About a quarter of an hour later, the attendants of the Seven Princes came from the inner courtyard to the gatehouse.

Fang Haoze looked up and saw that it was Qi Huang, so he greeted with a smile: "There is a labor manager." ”

"Where, where, the prince is drinking tea, and he has been talking about you in the morning, but I didn't expect you to come. Qi Huang didn't dare to put on a show, he was very polite.

"Then I have to lie to the prince about a good cup of tea again. Fang Haoze stood up and motioned for Qi Huang to lead the way.

The first time he came to the Seven Princes' Mansion, he had to be very respectful to Qi Huang, but in the past two months, his status has risen, and when facing Qi Huang, his attitude is naturally casual.

"Fang Gongzi, please. Qi Huang made a salute and led Fang Haoze into the inner courtyard.

This time I came to the small courtyard house that entertained guests, winter to spring, this small courtyard is also full of spring, the scenery is elegant.

"Young Master Fang, I will stay at the gate of the courtyard to guard for you, you can go by yourself. Qi Huang stood at the door of the small courtyard and said.

"Thank you for the stewardship. Nodding, Fang Haoze walked inside with his head held high.

"Guancheng has arrived?" In the hall, the Seven Princes looked directly at the small courtyard and shouted loudly.

Since the end of the examination, he has been very concerned about the results of the young geniuses he has recruited.

Although it is said that the Ministry of Rites is its own sphere of influence and can affect the results of marking papers within a limited scope, it is definitely impossible to interfere with such a thing as the imperial examination.

So these days, the Seven Princes have not even received the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and they do not have more information than others. It's just that Xu Qing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, sent someone to hint at the news that the young genius in front of him is expected to win the Huiyuan.

He also knew that yesterday, Fang Haoze had already submitted the paper in advance. is waiting for him to come to see him, this is also an attitude after all.

Now that the Seventh Prince saw him come to the house in the morning, he was in a very good mood.

"The Seventh Prince. It was the first time that Fang Haoze had met the other party and took the initiative to say hello, and he also walked a few steps quickly, and came to the hall to hurriedly greet him.

"Sit down and tell me how you did on the exam. The Seventh Prince asked with a smile.

At this time, the maid in the hall didn't need to be instructed, so she showed Fang Haoze tea. Fang Haoze was about to speak, and put a cup of tea in front of him.

"The students felt that they did well in the exam, and they wrote the scriptures and theories smoothly. Fang Haoze said while taking the tea.

"Well, I'm glad you have confidence. Xu Qing also told me that you still have hope for Zhonghuiyuan this time, and you should be sure of your state. The Seventh Prince stroked his palms happily.

"Students don't dare to be ambitious. Fang Haoze waved his hand, and then changed his inquiring expression: "Seventh Prince, the student has been slandered by fraud rumors in Jinling, will the mastermind behind it strike again?"

These words imply the behavior of the eldest prince, and they are also a reminder to the seventh prince.

"What you are thinking, I have also thought about it in advance, when the Ministry of Rites presided over the examination this time, the people were extra attentive. The Seventh Prince knew that Fang Haoze had something to say, so he said it directly.

"It's the student, I'm too worried, and I ask the seventh son not to blame. Fang Haoze hurriedly apologized. Speaking of which, since the Seventh Prince is also a member of the royal family, it is impossible not to have a little IQ means, and Fang Haoze also feels that he is too careful at this time.

"You're careful, and you're right. The Seventh Prince looked at Fang Haoze pleasing to the eye, and he didn't take it to heart.

So the two of them chatted in the hall and drank tea together, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

At this moment, Qi Huang suddenly came to the door of the hall from outside: "Prince, there is an urgent matter to report." His face was nervous, and his eyes wandered on the Seventh Prince and Fang Haoze

"What's the matter?" the Seventh Prince frowned.

"This ......" Qi Huang first looked at Fang Haoze, and then looked around at a few people in the hall, hesitating and not speaking.

"You guys retreat first," the Seventh Prince said lightly, and then turned to Qi Huang: "Fang Boy is not an outsider, if you have anything, just say it directly." ”

At the same time as the subordinates rushed out, Qi Huang knelt on the ground and said in a little panic: "Back to the prince, there was a scientific research scandal in the Gongyuan. ”

Hearing this, the Seven Princes frowned. Fang Haoze was even more chuckled in his heart, he instinctively felt that it was the eldest prince who was manipulating something behind his back, and he couldn't help but prick up his ears.

"You stabilize your emotions first, and then talk slowly when you have something. The Seventh Prince commanded calmly.

"In the tribute courtyard, there was a Xu official who committed suicide by throwing himself into the water with a stack of test papers, and the Xu official took advantage of the lack of attention to hold more than ten test papers handed in advance into the water, and later when they were salvaged, the test papers were flooded and melted. ”

Qi Huang lowered his head and said the news carefully.

It is not surprising that there is water in the tribute courtyard, and many buildings in Baiyujing arrange water sources around the buildings in order to prevent fire, and there are also many water tanks outside the emperor's palace. In front of the temple of Nagong Temple, there was a pool of water.

"What!" The Seventh Prince patted the arm of his chair and looked angry: "How could this kind of thing happen, aren't there two battalions of soldiers in the Gongyuan, how could such an unbelievable thing happen." ”

Qi Huang didn't dare to answer, just lowered his head and didn't speak.

"When did this happen?" the Seventh Prince asked again, barely suppressing his anger.

"It was yesterday afternoon. Qi Huang replied. "Last night, Lord Xu Qing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, checked the owner of the test paper overnight, and still concealed the information, and after an overnight investigation, he hurriedly reported to the prince. ”

"Dare to ask the steward, who are the people in that stack of test papers, is there my share of them?" Fang Haoze didn't care about the Seventh Prince at this time, and interjected in a low voice.

"Because the papers were handed in early on the first day, most of the owners of the more than ten test papers were hopeless people who passed the exam. Qi Huang glanced up at Fang Haoze, and lowered his head again: "There is an exception among them, it is Fang Gongzi's." ”

Hearing Qi Huang's reply, Fang Haoze only felt a blood rush up to the top of his head, and a rumbling sound was stirring in his ears, which lasted for about three or five breaths.

There must be something strange about this matter. Fang Haoze gritted his teeth and tried to stabilize his emotions, knowing that this must be a means arranged by the eldest prince.

With a light breath, Fang Haoze hated it in his heart.

From his reincarnation to this world, nearly a year of hard work is to enter the imperial court through the imperial examination to make meritorious achievements, and now this path is about to succeed, but in the end it is interrupted in this unexpected way, the great prince's subordinates really have a wise plan.

Fang Haoze knew that this game had reached the point where it could not be reversed. The test papers are all melted, can I write another one? The answer, of course, is no.

Is it possible to retake the exam? Of course, it is even more impossible. The triennial examination is a major national event, so how can there be a make-up examination.

Then, he looked up at the Seventh Prince again, and the other party was entangled, and he was also dripping.

Fang Haoze knew that the Seventh Prince was facing even greater pressure at this time, such a big scandal, if it spread from the Tribute Courtyard, the whole Ministry of Rites would definitely be disposed of by the emperor, the exile was light, and it was possible to kill the head.

And the seven princes, who were ordered by the emperor to supervise the Ministry of Rites, were also held accountable in this scandal.

"I don't know who the eldest prince's subordinates are, and they came up with such a plan. Fang Haoze sighed softly in his heart.

He knew that he still had a glimmer of life: if the matter of the Gongyuan was stabbed, it was still possible to be admitted exceptionally based on the emperor's fancy for him. However, this dealt a heavy blow to the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

What is now in front of the Seven Princes is actually a choice: to keep the officials of the Ministry of Rites, or to keep Fang Haoze's examination results, only one of the two can be chosen.

"How many people know about this now? It is important to keep the news under control and not leak it. The Seventh Prince was silent for a long time before he spoke under Fang Haoze's gaze.

"It seems that the Seventh Prince still has to protect the officials of his Ministry of Rites first, which is also normal. Fang Haoze's eyelids drooped.
