"You know, on that day, after receiving the emperor's secret order, I summoned a few eunuchs on duty in the Shen Criminal Division, but they all died violently the next day, and the reason is unknown,...... I have a hunch that this monthly exam will not go so smoothly, and there are many hands in the back. ”

Wang Huizu smiled, "Then let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!" ”

"Well," Yin Tang Gege smiled, "It's still the same old saying, the praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, I'm the yellow finch, why not!" ”

……………………………………

It's another day.

But today is very different, the first strategy of the Xian'an Palace monthly examination will officially start in the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Before Yin, the Xihua Gate was crowded with people, the lanterns were shining, the officials of the Ministry of Officials, the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the examiners selected by the Ministry of Officials were all gathered here, plus the invigilator of the army commanders, the staff leaders and eighty guards, plus the entourage of these adults and the ninety students of the Xian'an Palace, the door was as lively as catching a big gathering.

Su Wen carried a lantern and looked for Mo Yu's pannier chair, he had developed a habit of coming early, he warmed up in Moyu's pannier for a while, and he could drink some hot tea and eat some snacks, no matter which dynasty, silver is not omnipotent, but it is good to have silver, at least he and his family can live more comfortably.

He lifted the sedan curtain, but saw Mo Yu drinking tea and warming books, and when he saw him come in, he greeted him with a smile.

"Okay, okay, let's be polite, they're all brothers, how can you pay back your mother-in-law, aren't you tired?" Su Wen said with a smile.

"Hehe, you can still laugh," Mo Yu didn't defend himself, "...... This is the dim sum in the palace, you taste it, my Ama just came back from Gubeikou yesterday, alas, it was specially for this exam, you don't know, the government and the opposition are very concerned. He looked at Su Wen, who was gobbling up, "Didn't you eat again this morning?" ”

"With your snacks, hehe, to be honest, the food at home will be saved." Su Wen said with a grin.

Mo Yu stared at him for a long time, "Are you sure about today's strategy?" He lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw some people reading in the cold wind, others shaking their heads and reciting.

"You know me, Zhengbai Flag official learning is to recognize a few words, hehe, and then I can memorize some articles." Su Wen said.

Mo Yu glanced at him seriously, "Su Wen, you have changed a lot compared to before, in the mansion of King Zheng on the Shangyuan Festival, I almost thought that you were not the Su Wen I knew." He pulled a piece of paper from his sleeve and slowly unfolded it, "Look at what this is?" ”

Su Wen picked up the hot tea and took a sip, "Well, there is a way in the world, and the government is not a doctor; If there is a way in the world, then people will not discuss it......"

"Be quiet, and be heard." Mo Yu was very nervous.

"What is this?" Su Wen picked up the teacup again, but he stopped when the cup came to his mouth, and between the lightning and flint, four words suddenly came to his mind, "This is an exam question?!" ”

Mo Yu hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't panic," he lifted the curtain to look outside, "There are many people." ”

"Where did it come from?" Su Wen clenched the note.

"This ,...... Many of my classmates have what Tuerchen gave me, and they have prepared it in advance. ”

Before coming, Su Wen secretly estimated that although the strategy theory could not be made like a flower, but after all, he was influenced by his mentor in his previous life, and he had systematically studied all the works of the Southern Division, and he had really worked hard.

"Is this to talk to the president and the teacher!" Mo Yu had already seen Cheng Wenyun's sedan chair, and he didn't know if Jiang Guangnai was there today.

"Don't, don't," Su Wen thought for a while, and immediately said, "If you speak out, you will immediately become the target of public criticism, not only those students who have exam questions in their hands will resent you, but even the officials of the Ministry who made the questions will also be punished, they will remember you, is it okay to provoke them?" ”

"What then?" Mo Yu is very good at countermeasures, he is not afraid of exams, but the exam questions in his hand are like charcoal balls that burn red, throw, throw them, and they can't take them, and they are afraid of burning their hands.

"Leave it to me, I'll do it." Su Wen said, reaching out and tucking the note into his sleeve. "Okay, put a hundred hearts, you can do it."

"Open the palace door!" Outside, with the shouts of the soldiers, only to hear the heavy sound of "squeak, squeak, squeak", the Xihua Gate opened!

"You, be careful!" Mo Yu saw Su Wen jump out of the sedan chair, and hurriedly instructed, watching his back blend into the crowd and pour into the doorway, he felt as if he had let go of a thousand burdens, he drank hot tea, and quickly jumped down.

How to get rid of yourself, you have to let the president of the official school know, walking slowly, Su Wen already had an idea, seeing Ne Cai and a dry pen sticker standing in front of the door, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Third uncle, you are in a hurry today, you don't bring an inkstone, you are familiar here, can you help me borrow a piece?" ”

Necai was stunned for a moment, and immediately complained, "You kid, why are you so careless!" Quick, follow me! ”

A pen sticker surnamed Zheng next to him smiled and said, "I forgot to bring an inkstone for this exam, and I let you go out to be an official in Ming'er, and you forgot to bring a big seal, hehe, I am fortunate to have your third uncle today." ”

Su Wen smiled, and followed Ne Cai into a room, Ne Cai was looking for the inkstone, but Su Wen grabbed him, "Uncle, look! He pulled the note out of his sleeve.

Necai looked at him, saw that he had a solemn face, took it suspiciously, and immediately opened his mouth wide, "This is?" His voice was suddenly low.

"Exam questions!" In the darkness of the night, the light of the lantern cast the shadows of the eaves into the room, and both of them were hidden in the darkness.

"Is it really an exam question?"

"It's true!"

"If the exam questions are leaked, it will be too bad for the reputation of Xian'an Palace," Ne Cai was in the Internal Affairs Office, well-informed, and still had some grasp of the court situation, he said slowly, "Xian'an Palace's official school is not good, and the first person to bear the brunt is Prince Duan,......" He didn't dare to continue.

"Then, you have to let Prince Duan know, and you don't have to check it after the exam, it will be an uproar." Su Wendao said that he was recruited by Prince Duan into the official school without exception, so he naturally had a closeness.

The friendship between Necai and Hongyi is not ordinary, and Hongyi will not say that it is a letter from Necai, so that he can not only protect Necai, but also throw this charcoal ball out.

Ne Cai glanced at him appreciatively, "Yes, in the bud, Prince Duan will come over in a while, but you have to uncover the exam questions to know if it is really an exam question." ”

The two chatted in a low voice again, and Su Wen went out with the inkstone and walked into the examination room.

After all, the Internal Affairs Office is magnificent, and in the lobby of the examination room, all the candles with thick bowls are lit, and the lobby is illuminated brightly and brightly.

But the examiner of the ministry still read solemnly, "...... Those who carry private goods will be punished together with those who take the examination room on the spot, and return the flag, and the inspection is not strict, and those who are demoted to one level will be retained for use, and those who do not take the examination impartially will be punished together......"

As soon as the students sat down, the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and a group of pen stickers walked into the scene, and the surrounding area was immediately full of guards, all of them with serious expressions, as if they were facing a great enemy, provoking the students to bury their heads honestly and dare not make the slightest noise.

"Prince Duan is hereβ€”" There was a shout outside the door, and all the officials and commanders immediately stood up and went out together.

I saw Hongyi, Wei Ying, Cheng Wenyun, Aligon, Qin Jianquan and others walking in with a smile.

After some politeness, Hongyi took out his pocket watch and said with a smile, "Let's start." ”

The official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also stepped forward, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and began to move.

Su Wen stared at the two officials without blinking, and his heart was in his throat, if the book was opened, it would be too late to change it.

He looked outside, but there was a shadow of Nacai!

The official of the Ministry of Officials had already unfolded a piece of paper and handed it to the official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who looked at it with a smile by the flame of the candle, and handed it back to the official of the Ministry of Officials.

Su Wen lowered his head, this is about to be changed!

Just when he was discouraged and disappointed, a man dressed as a guard hurriedly walked in, walked quickly to Hongyi's side, and handed him a note two fingers wide.

Su Wen looked at Hongyi nervously, who knew that Hongyi's face still didn't change, he just glanced at it, and then tucked the note into his sleeve.

"Please take a look." The official of the Ministry of Officials came over and respectfully handed the test questions to Hongyi.

Hongyi took it calmly, groaned slightly, and looked at Wei Ying with a smile, "The day before yesterday, the emperor summoned me into the palace, and also talked about the distinction between gentlemen and villains, and I should always be vigilant about myself, I will ,...... This is not a temple test, but the same test is the "Analects", so it is better to change the exam question to, 'A gentleman is easy to do things but difficult to say, and he does not say it, and he does not say it, and it makes people also, and it is instrumental.' 'Lord Wei, what do you think?' ”

That Wei Ying has been in the officialdom for a long time, and his mind turns faster than the glass egg, he already knows the reason, and immediately smiled and agreed, "Cultivating officials and students is originally for the country and for the saint to solve worries, since they are all based on the "Analects", it is the same. ”

"Okay, then change the subject, two adults, let's send it quickly." Hongyi smiled.

In the bright lobby as day, a dry pen paste style immediately got busy, when the students heard the new topic, some people sighed, some people muttered a few words secretly, and immediately thought nervously,

Su Wen also took up the pen and ink and wrote solemnly.

…………………………………

…………………………………

Maybe Prince Duan Hongyi has already learned the news, maybe everyone has the heart of self-preservation, no one dares to stab it in person, an uproar of leaking test questions, in Hongyi's silent manipulation, passed quietly, but what Su Wen didn't know was that the private investigation began in full swing.

He didn't stand on the peak of power, so he naturally couldn't feel the power of the hurricane, and he couldn't even feel the wind blowing, but the Xian'an Palace where he was now was above the eye of the storm.

On the first day, in addition to the policy discussion, there was a translation of Manchu, Mongolian, and Tibetan, and the officials and students were called to the examiner one by one and answered them one by one. There are very few banner people who can speak Manchu, and most of them didn't pay attention to this in the official school before, and everyone's level is half a catty and eight taels.

After the astronomical calendar arithmetic test the next day, Su Wen thought to himself that this must be the first class first, which is beyond doubt, even the strategy and translation are not bad.

When the 90 officers and students came to the Zhenghuangqi guard school field in the second half of the morning, he was even more confident.
