Ruan Ping'an smiled helplessly: "What's the use of saying that, it's just hateful." He paused slightly: "You are nothing to be afraid of, but you still have a large family." ”

Wang Jingzong's face changed a few times, he pursed his lips, and said after a while: "It's me who is reckless." ”

Ruan Ping'an patted Wang Jingzong's shoulder and sighed.

As the two walked and walked, they walked to the road leading to the stove room at the back, and when they thought of the twilight meal they had just used, they suddenly didn't want to take another half step forward, looked at each other, and turned around and walked away.

Wang Jingzong turned his head to look at the internal guards who were busy in the stove room, frowned slightly and asked: "Wen Ran, you said, in the past, when the provincial test was usually carried out, the internal security department sent a few general flags with internal guards, and even the young envoy never came, why did the envoy come to the town in person this year?" ”

Ruan Ping'an frowned: "It's quite strange, but the tone of the Internal Security Department has always been very tight, if they don't deliberately reveal it, outsiders can't ask anything." ”

The corners of Wang Jingzong's lips were pursed extremely tightly, and he said expressionlessly: "The Internal Security Department has always acted sneakily. ”

Ruan Ping'an raised his head and fixed his eyes on the third floor of Mingyuan Building, and made a silent movement: "Be quiet, they are ruthless." As he spoke, he looked at Wang Jingzong with a complicated expression, and showed a sincere heart: "Baowen, you have been in the Hanlin Academy for fifteen or sixteen years, and this Spring Festival is a good opportunity, you can take this opportunity to move, whether it is to go to the sixth department, or to release it, although the Hanlin Academy is noble, but you always have to find a real shortage, and in the future, it is better to go further." ”

Wang Jingzong pursed his lips, and his interest was not very high.

He is stubborn and does not know how to maneuver, and the relationship between him and his colleagues is also mediocre, and he can stay in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years, and survive to the position of waiting for the edict, all because the saint values him.

He understood very well that the saint's value for him came from his intelligence, but also from the fact that he had no family behind him, no background, and nodding friends with the courtiers.

The saint, I'm afraid, wants him to be a lonely minister, a lonely minister who is only loyal to the saint.

The topic of the Internal Guard Division was too heavy, and the conversation affected the mood of the two, and the two walked back to the room of Minghua Building with a little depression.

The lights on the third floor of Minghua Building are on, there are two internal guards with knives standing at the staircase, and there are many internal guards in the corridor patrolling back and forth.

Yao Qi leaned over and saw Wang Jingzong and the others enter the building, stretched out his hand to close the window, turned around and said, "My lord, they are back." ”

Han Changdui held the cup, his eyes flashed: "What you said is true?" ”

Yao Qi snorted at the food table, and said with a smile: "That's the twilight food intercepted by the lower officials, adults will know if they see it." ”

Han Changwan had already seen it once, and when he heard Yao Qi's words, he couldn't help lowering his head and looking at it again.

There are three plates on the dining table, three dishes and three boiled vegetables, and it looks green.

It's not unappetizing, but at least it's unappetizing.

Han Changwan swallowed his saliva, his face was gloomy, and he twisted his sleeves a few times: "Let's go, go and see." ”

It was already dark, the night was so thick that it was difficult to dissolve, and there were not a few lights and candles in the east and west houses, Han Changwan and the two went downstairs from a separate staircase, and went around from Mingyuan Building to the back, and saw that the stove room was still lit from a distance.

Bursts of undisguised laughter came from the bright lights.

Han Changdu's brows furrowed when he heard this, his face was cold, and the momentum of his whole body was cold and compelling.

handsome

Ji followed behind Han Changdui and shrunk his neck.

I'm afraid someone is going to be unlucky.

"Come, come, drink, drink."

"It's much more comfortable in this tribute courtyard than the Internal Guard, and there aren't so many eyes staring."

"Isn't it, there's a boy who scatters money everywhere."

"The envoy is not here, the captains of the general flags are all guarding the number house, and they have no time to keep an eye on us when the exam papers are handed out tonight."

"That's it, drink and drink, have fun tonight, and you'll be busy tomorrow."

Han Changdui stood at the door of the stove room, and when he heard the sound inside, he laughed angrily, walked in with his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "The wine is good." ”

As soon as this statement came out, it was earth-shattering.

I could only hear the continuous popping sound in the stove room, and a few people who were originally sitting on the small pestle laughing and drinking fell to the ground one after another, their faces were pale, and they looked at Han Changdui tremblingly, and the corners of their lips were speechless.

Han Changdu's usual indifferent face was even more chilling, and he walked to the stove with his hands on his back, picked up the wine jug on it and shook it.

Seeing this, Yao Qi hurriedly took a clean wine cup with a dog-legged smile on his face, and handed it to Han Changdu.

Han Changwan sneered, poured a glass of wine, and sniffed lightly: "It's really good wine." ”

The four of them knelt and trembled in unison, not daring to raise their heads.

After a long silence, one of the guards had the audacity to kowtow and said, "Great, my lord, my lord forgives my sins." ”

Han Changwan sneered, and his laughter became a little colder: "Forgive your sins, are you guilty?" ”

The four internal guards suddenly trembled: "Guilty, lowly guilty, guilty." ”

At this time, He Zhenfu had already gotten the news, and hurried over from the front, and saw the four internal guards kneeling on the ground, with a lot of wine bottles crooked around them, and suddenly panicked, knowing that something was wrong, and ran to the door and whispered: "My lord, it's almost time." ”

Han Changdui glanced at He Zhenfu and said coldly, "This is the person you picked?" ”

He Zhenfu pleaded guilty: "Humble duty, humble duty." ”

Han Changdui gently rested the wine jug and wine cup on the stove, knocked on the stove, and slowly spit out a word: "Trial." ”

This voice was extremely cold and cold, like the wind of thirty-nine days, enough to freeze everything.

The four internal guards kneeling on the ground were stiff, and they couldn't even beg for mercy, they only knew that they kept kowtowing, and their foreheads were bruised, and the places where they were knocked were so bad that blood was oozing.

A low drum beat sounded in the Gongyuan, this drum was not loud, but it fell on the heart, enough to wake up the person who was sleeping groggy.

Bao Cheng rolled over from the bed, and the two fragile planks crumbled and creaked.

The lights in the alleyways were turned on, and the soldiers in the east and west houses woke up and looked out at the fence.

A team of red-armored soldiers walked into the alley with the exam papers in their hands.

Seeing these soldiers, the soldiers suddenly made a noisy noise, squirming, as if there were thousands of rats in the house.

The soldiers led by him coldly glanced at the number house and shouted: "Anyone who makes a noise will be expelled from the tribute courtyard." ”

The soldiers suddenly became honest, and did not dare to say anything, only leaning on the fence to show their heads, looking out, their eyes firmly fixed on the examination papers in the hands of the soldiers.

The exam paper is in their hearts

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The weight is like Mount Tai, which determines their future fate.

When the soldiers at the head saw that the soldiers were in a good attitude, they waved their hands, and the soldiers holding the examination papers began to distribute the papers one by one.

Han Changwan and Yao Qi, who had changed into red armor, followed behind the soldiers who handed out the examination papers, and looked at the number houses on the left and right sides with their eyes like torches.

Bao Cheng quickly got the stack of exam papers, carefully spread the pile of tissue paper on the wooden board, and let out a long sigh.

In the dark night, the lights in the house were brighter than the day, and in the silence, only the sound of swishing could be heard.

Some scholars took advantage of the quiet of the night to start working on the manuscript after reviewing the questions.

And some scholars read the question hastily, then lay down and went to sleep, and waited until tomorrow morning, refreshed, and then answered.

Bao Cheng didn't answer the questions, just held the exam papers and reviewed the questions word by word.

He didn't examine the question to answer it, but to see if it was different from the one he had gotten.

He was so engrossed in the question that he didn't notice the two dark shadows falling in front of the house.

He suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and when he looked up, he saw two soldiers standing in front of the number house.

The lanterns hanging on the outer wall of the building were dimly lit and sprinkled like water waves.

He barely composure, didn't stand up, just opened his mouth in horror.

Yao Ji made a silent movement, lowered his eyes, and glanced at the exam paper through the fence.

Bao Cheng suddenly understood and shook his head slightly.

Although he is not good at making articles, his knowledge is not deep enough, and even some words on the questions have to be guessed, but this test is a scripture, a total of three questions, he even guessed with a blind, and also figured out what these three questions are tested.

These three scripture questions were completely different from the ones he was given.

He breathed a deep sigh, and in this way, the charge of fraud in the scientific examination on his body could be cleared.

Han Changdui and Yao Qi saw Bao Cheng's appearance, and continued to walk forward quietly, like ordinary soldiers patrolling the number house.

Jiang Shen and Mu Rongtong stood side by side on the second floor of Mingyuan Building, looking at the east side of the building, the densely packed candle flames were like bright stars falling in the sky.

Mu Rongyan carried a cloak in his hand, gently draped it on Jiang Shen's shoulders, and said in a gentle drizzle: "Pavilion Elder, the night is cold, nothing should happen tonight, besides, there are people from the Internal Security Division, Pavilion Elder can rest in peace." ”

Jiang Shen's old eyes were not cloudy at all, nor did he use the dim appearance of the twilight eclipse, the bottom of his eyes flashed with a shrewd cold light, and he threw himself at the candle flame that was extinguishing brightly: "This time, the number of scholars in the north and south is equal, and when we take tribute, it is your opportunity for me." ”

Mu Rongyan obviously looked at Jiang Shen as the leader, and said in a low voice: "Yes, but Ge Lao, after the seal, the examination papers of the northern and southern scholars can no longer be distinguished." ”

Jiang Shen turned his head and glanced at Mu Rongxi, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Then separate the exam papers before the seal." ”

Mu Rongyan swallowed his saliva, his face showed a hint of timidity, and he didn't respond for a long time.

Jiang Shen glanced at Mu Rongxi, turned his head to look at the place where thousands of scholars had advanced, and said lightly: "This official is over half a hundred years old, and he will be a senior in two years, and it is inevitable that there will be new people in the cabinet." ”

Mu Rongyan heard the meaning of Jiang Shen's words, gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said resolutely: "Yes, what the elder said is that the lower officials will arrange it." ”
