In late spring in March, on Gyeonggi Province.

Close to Yongjing, even if the road is mountainous, it can't stop the flow of people. Gyeonggi Province is the main road leading from the outer counties of Weijun to the capital, and basically the peddlers and pawns from the south will take this road.

After 10 days, the Zhou family, together with the students of Yuzhang County who passed through Qiuqiu, have come outside the capital. For most of them, not to mention the first time they went out, it was also the first time they entered the capital in their lives.

Along the way, although there were land walkers, everyone still slowed down - of course, only the children of the Zhou family, Liang Dagong, Ren Lao Fuzi and others were taken by land walkers, and the students still took public transportation. However, since everyone is not in a hurry, and it is rare to go out, it is natural to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Therefore, this journey took a full 10 days, which is not fast. And when they came to Gyeonggi Road, there was no wind and frost on everyone's faces, and their complexions were quite full of spirit - except for Xiao Gui. When this kid arrived in She'an County, the first big county outside Yuzhang, he was greedy for food and ate bad stomach, and he didn't get completely good along the way.

But that doesn't affect the mood of the others. Zhou Daoxuan is entering Beijing for the second time, and there is no need to say much about being full of ambition. Old Master Ren sighed in his heart, and his words were slightly silent.

Zhou Daoqi was much simpler, shouting and screaming, and nothing fun was left behind along the way. Zhou Daoan adheres to the principle of traveling thousands of miles, seeing more and learning more...... When he arrived at the edge of the capital, Liang Dagong finally became a little anxious, as if he had received an urgent letter from the prince, and took the first step to say goodbye to everyone, and hurried into the city to report to the East Palace - he had been away from Beijing for too long, if it wasn't for the prince's real tolerance, he would have allowed him to be slow, otherwise it would be a crime of slackness. But slow and leisurely is not without a bottom line, they have walked for 10 days, which may exceed the limit estimated by the prince......

Not to mention, the Zhou family and the students who entered Beijing chartered a hotel as a resting place during this time, and after receiving an urgent letter from the small teleportation array that he carried with him, Liang Dagong hurried to the East Palace.

Together with the Imperial Palace, the East Palace and the Imperial Palace form the Imperial City Complex, which is close to the Imperial Palace and is also in the inner circle of the Imperial City. It is a majestic nine-storey building, second only to the ten-storey Imperial Palace Building. I don't know what material to use to decorate and color, but it shows a bright yellow but not dazzling feeling, with blue and red tiles and carved railings, showing a majesty.

Of course, if you see the ten-storey, cloud-piercing, Optimus Pillar palace, you will feel that the East Palace is just like that.

Liang Dagong didn't have the heart to appreciate the building, anyway, he had been here for half his life, and he already felt that it was not very unusual. He took a big stride, lifted the hem of his robe, hurriedly jumped off the small flying machine, went directly to the ninth floor of the East Palace, and ran into the palace.

Before anyone entered the door, Liang Dagong let go of his voice and reported to himself-

"Your Highness, the old slave is back!"

The guards naturally knew the old man of the East Palace, and they also knew that the prince was waiting in a hurry, so the palace door immediately opened, and Duke Liang walked directly into the side hall. This place is called the Meditation Pavilion, which is the prince's study.

"Dog, you still know to come back!"

Before he turned the screen of the entrance of the Meditation Pavilion, a roaring voice came from inside, and his tone was very unpolite. You must know that even if the subordinates in the palace have a low status, they will not be deprived of the right to be a human being, and the dog's words are insulting enough.

But Liang Dagong was not annoyed, he knew that the prince would only speak out when he was out of proportion, and he was scolded, which was called hitting the muzzle of the gun. However, the prince scolded himself without scruples, also because he was close to the prince, and the prince did not need to hide anything. So this scolding, Liang Dagong knew that the prince was in a hurry, and he didn't really have any dissatisfaction with himself.

"Yes, yes, the old slave should be damned, he is greedy for fun on the road, and he is a few days late. Your Highness, if you have any orders, the old slave will do it immediately! ”

Liang Dagong said in his mouth, but his feet did not stop, turned the screen, and saw a young man in his twenties wearing a bright yellow cotton robe and a crown of his hair in the hall, "walking willows" in the hall, seeing Liang Dagong coming, this slightly pale young man immediately greeted him, and grabbed Liang Dagong's clothes-

"Let me ask you, the boy of the Zhou family and Master Ren have both entered Beijing? I want that kid to apologize to Master Xia, and then let Master Ren re-admit Master Xia's son to school, do you think Master Xia can come back? Oh, by the way, let Master Xia bring Old Man Xia into Beijing together, and I will personally find the imperial doctor to treat the old lady......"

When the prince was in a hurry, he didn't call himself "lonely" anymore, and what he said was really not considered. Liang Dagong sighed secretly in his heart - if it is a peaceful and prosperous season and nothing to do, the prince is the most lovely person. But there is really trouble, there are big things, and the prince is really a little out of the table......

Helpless, his master, he has no choice, what else can he do except help him? When Dagong Liang saw the prince's appearance, he didn't hide it, but put on a calm look on his face, and said:

"Both of them have arrived in the capital. But...... Rong Lao Nu asked more, didn't the previous prince already let go of this matter? Why did you mention this stubble again? ”

Xu is the "think tank" of Liang Dagong came back, and he looked calm again, which made the prince breathe a little relieved, calm down, and his tone revealed irritability-

"The students who weren't in the public school had a problem again? You said, this spring festival is about to start, the exam questions were set last year, and now the exam is being boycotted because of a few rumors of chasing wind and shadows, isn't this adding chaos to the court?

"But until now, the examiner has not decided. Originally, he was alone with Master Xia, regardless of his qualifications and knowledge, Master Xia could be calm. As a result, Master Xia made such a fuss a few years ago...... Master Wang has been saying that he is sick, saying that it will not be relieved until at least April...... Master Ning originally agreed to serve as the main examiner of this year, but who knew that he suddenly resigned yesterday, saying that he was avoiding suspicion - didn't you say that the leakage of exam questions had already been investigated? It's clear that there is nothing! Master Ning was just present at the time, and the exam questions were not set by him, so what was he making a fuss about......

"The hardest thing now is that I can't find anyone who can hold down the field. Ay...... Thinking about it, Master Xia is an old teacher of the public school, and now the public school is in a mess, and he is always a talker......

"Father's illness is really not the right time...... This burden is all handed over to Lone, Lone is real...... I don't know what to do! ”

chattering, the prince finally made things clear.

It turned out that the exam questions for Chunyu had been set a year ago, but at the end of last year, there was a sudden outbreak in the public school in the capital that there was a rumor that some of the examination questions were leaked. Under the urgent investigation, it was found that some scammers were trying to defraud some foreign candidates of their money.

prefers to die or not, the liar may have a few levels, and among the nonsense exam questions, there is really a subject exam question next to the real test question. So what to do? It can only be changed temporarily! This was originally a trivial matter, but unexpectedly, the matter of several bachelors discussing the exam questions overnight was spread again.

This is good, the public school students have completely fried the pot. They think that the examination questions of the imperial court have already been leaked, and now the temporary remedy to change the questions is unfair to the candidates - especially for the students of the public school, because the Jiang Jiaoyu of the public school is the best at betting on the questions, and he has already bet on dozens of questions, and the students are all ready, but if the questions are changed on a large scale now, won't they all be in vain?

So the students of Beijing Public School made a fuss about the exam. Although the total number of candidates in Beijing Public School is less than one-tenth of the total number of candidates, these students are not simple. If the Beijing Public School boycotts the exam, this spring festival will be a joke.

The court is also very annoying, and there is no way to explain this trouble. Can't you tell the world that the exam questions are actually changed to one subject, and the other subjects are the same? Wouldn't the students who changed that subject have to fry the pot again? Besides, what a funny thing it is to be guessed by a liar to guess the test question, and the court is to recruit himself for blackmail.

Therefore, the prince is out of options, and the solution he came up with is to let Taifu Xia be the chief examiner - there are only a few people in his hands, and there are only three masters with prestige. Mrs. Xia returned to his hometown, Wang Shaofu was sick, and Ning Shaofu avoided suspicion. went around in a circle, and had to think of Mrs. Xia again.

The rejuvenation of the imperial court is the first test given by the saint to the crown prince, and the emperor originally sat in the back, and he couldn't make any trouble. It's just an eventful time, and there is something unavoidable in the saint...... The affairs of the court are basically abandoned. If it weren't for the clear division of labor and proper cooperation of several old ministers, the Dayong Dynasty would really be in chaos.

And the prince, you have to do the work yourself, right? He only became the master of the East Palace 2 years ago, and if things can't be done well, he will have to face countless interrogations. In a hurry, the prince panicked, so he counted on Mrs. Xia to save him, and said the faint words that asked Zhou Daoan to apologize to Mrs. Xia and Ren Cong to re-admit Xia Chengyin to school.

Of course, Grand Duke Liang knew that this thing was impossible to do—and regardless of the fact that Old Master Ren was notoriously stinky and hard, even the Holy Emperor had no problem with him at the beginning, and sent him out far away...... Let's just say that this Zhou Dao'an, who is now the personal disciple of the old master, writes a heroic and free story like "Smiling Proud Jianghu", where will his character be cowardly?

Fortunately, although Liang Dagong didn't have a city government, his brain was not stupid, and he had received a holy secret order before, and it finally worked at this moment.

He hurriedly stepped forward, comforted the prince a few words, and said in a low voice:

"Your Highness, don't panic...... Your Highness can know that although the Holy Lord is not out of the palace, he still asked my brother to give me a secret letter half a month ago...... Just so that I can take advantage of this time to Yuzhang and invite Old Master Ren Cong back to Beijing! ”

Looking at the prince's puzzled face, Liang Dagong explained again:

"Your Highness is embarrassed because you only think of ways from these common people around you, you might as well change your thinking - Master Ren is back, isn't this the best candidate for the exam?"
