Chapter 142: Explanation
With Fang Haoze's guess, the Seventh Prince turned to look at him: "Guancheng, this matter came suddenly, and I am also deeply shocked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe law of the imperial examination is strict, and I'm afraid I can't do anything for you now. ”
"Seventh Prince, is the matter really irreparable?" Fang Haoze glanced at the Seventh Prince and said slowly.
Although he already knew the result, it was still a little chilling that the Seventh Prince made a choice so quickly and was so direct.
"There are two or three thousand people in the new examination, and only about a dozen candidates are affected at this time, so I don't think there will be an exception for just a few people. The Seventh Prince looked at Fang Haoze and said seriously. "Fortunately, you are still young now, can you lie dormant for a few more years and wait for the exam later?"
"Seventh Prince, the most difficult thing in the world is nothing more than having hope first, but getting disappointment in the end. With my grades, I could have entered high school and entered the temple exam. Fang Haoze's tone was light.
At this time, since he knew that the Seventh Prince would not make decisions for himself, his attitude was not so respectful.
In fact, Fang Haoze also knew that he was being calculated by the eldest prince, and it was not a situation that the seventh prince wanted to see.
But at the critical moment when he had worked hard in this Daxin world for so long and was about to complete the arrangement, he was suddenly framed by the enemy and abandoned by his allies, how could he remain calm?
"I know you are dissatisfied, but I am also embarrassed by the situation at this moment, I hope you don't blame me. The Seventh Prince looked at Fang Haoze, and his face was also a little tangled.
Now, he is faced with a dilemma, in fact, he is forced to cut off his arm.
Whether it was to give up Fang Haoze and choose to protect the officials of the Ministry of Rites first, or to give up the officials of the Ministry of Rites to fight for Fang Haoze for the palace test first, it was a loss for him.
The lesser of the two powers, the Seven Princes subconsciously wanted to keep the waiter of the Ministry of Rites first, and then comfort the other party Haoze. After all, as he said, Fang Haoze is still young.
"I also know that now the Seventh Prince is facing a difficult choice, and he only hates that he is weak and can't share it for the Seventh Prince, so I will take care of my exam papers, Seventh Prince. Fang Haoze paused for a long time, and then said slowly.
"It's really hard for you, then you go back first, and I'll make up for it later." The Seventh Prince sighed: "If my father asks, I will be perfunctory for you first, it may have some negative impact on you, I hope you consider the overall situation, and bear with it first." ”
He had already thought of a plan, if according to Qi Huang's report, almost all of the dozen or so people who submitted the papers in advance would give up the exam.
As long as Fang Haoze's mood is stabilized and the examiners of the Ministry of Rites collude, the dozen or so people whose test papers were destroyed can be judged according to the bottom line, and this imperial examination scandal will naturally disappear.
From Qi Huang to the present, it is only a quarter of an hour. Although the Seventh Prince made the choice at the first time, when the other party persuaded him, Fang Haoze also made a decision in his heart.
"Naturally, I saw the opportunity. He nodded. Then the student quit first. ”
After speaking, Fang Haoze stood up, unwilling to stay here longer.
"Okay, Qi Huang, you can send Fang Gongzi. The Seventh Prince also immediately commanded. He looked at Fang Haoze's back farther and farther away, and he was also in a trance, not knowing whether his decision just now was right or wrong.
Let's say that Fang Haoze came out of the Seven Princes' Mansion and walked very fast all the way. Regardless of Qi Huang, who was following him, he left the Seventh Prince's mansion after a while, and even when Qi Huang greeted him, he only responded lightly.
"Childe, what's going on?" got into the car, Mingyun looked at his master's expression and asked thoughtfully.
"There are some things ......" Fang Haoze then said that his test paper was destroyed by the eldest prince's scheme, and was controlled by the seventh prince with the overall situation. He knew that his butler would not tell this secret matter.
"Childe, you have been plotted by the great prince, and you have fallen before the last hurdle of the imperial examination, which is already a great grievance. The Seven Princes and their gang don't make decisions for their sons at a critical time, how can they let you bear it?"
Mingyun was upset for his master, his expression was angry, and when he drove the carriage, he couldn't help but wave a few more whips.
"This is the imperial court, these people are politicians. Fang Haoze's mood was not high, and he responded lightly.
Everyone has a position on this matter. Frankly speaking, if Fang Haoze stood in the position of the Seventh Prince, he would make the same choice. But the problem is that he himself is now the outcast.
"In my opinion, let's not mess around in this court, they are all ruthless and unrighteous people. Mingyun was annoyed for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion.
"Otherwise, Childe, you look for an opportunity to break this matter with the emperor, and see if the emperor can make decisions for Childe. Didn't Childe say that the emperor also values you?"
Fang Haoze didn't answer these angry words, he secretly thought in his heart: "If I don't continue to stand with the Seventh Prince, then that's it, naturally I should kick those people away and go directly to the emperor." ”
However, in the world of Daxin, he came up by the path of the Seven Princes, how could he get on the boat and get off halfway?
Besides, Fang Haoze thinks that he is not a virgin, but he is not a white-eyed wolf either. The Seventh Prince, Li Jinyu and others helped him a lot, if it wasn't for Li Jinyu to take care of him in Jinling City before, how could he have the current situation.
Even if he is the abandoned party this time, the Seventh Prince also promises to make amends afterwards, which is also an attitude.
"Alas, things are hard. After thinking about it for a long time, Fang Haoze still didn't have a clue, how to find a way not to damage his own interests, but also to break the situation for himself.
He sighed and thought with emotion: "The officialdom is really cruel, if you can finally break the situation this time, you should have invited one thing early and go out to find merit." ”
When Fang Haoze was thinking about emotion on the road, the Seven Princes were not idle in the mansion.
At this time, he sat upright on the seat of the head of the hall, and below him knelt a subordinate dressed in gray. "What did you master say?
"Back to the prince, today is the last day of the exam, and after investigation, all the people whose test papers were destroyed have been found. These people have been secretly contacted by the villain, and now they have all benefited, and they all promise not to overturn the case. ”
"Very good, now the most critical Fang Guancheng has been pacified by me, I hope he will not be separated from me. The Seventh Prince's face was happy at first, and then he said gloomily.
"Now that the matter has been settled, you can quietly go back and talk to your master. The Seventh Prince frowned and said with one hand on his forehead.
"Yes, the villain will retire. And the man in gray went out of the hall upside down. It turned out that this person was the family member of Xu Qing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was secretly coming to contact the Seventh Prince at this time.
