Pei Xuanling: "For your sake, it's free." ”

Huang Dechang: "......"

His Royal Highness never pities the fragrance and jade, but he seems to pity Jiang Meiren extraordinarily?

couldn't bear to punish Jiang Meiren too much, so he simply punished her for eating some vegetarian food.

As a result, it was only punished yesterday, and today I am distressed.

It's really punished on Jiang Meiren, and it hurts in His Highness's heart!

So, is this a punishment for Jiang Meiren, or a punishment for His Royal Highness?

"Your Highness is sympathetic." Jiang Shishi's face was overjoyed, "Then I'm welcome!" ”

As a result, Jiang Shishi began to eat meat.

It's just that she is still a little unwell, and her appetite is not as good as before, so she put down the dishes and chopsticks after only eating one bowl.

Seeing that the woman was eating less, Pei Xuanling said, "If you are unwell, why don't you let Huang Dechang send you back to the East Palace to recuperate?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Shishi waved her hand again and again, "Almost all of the first day of the letter hurt badly, I slept for a day today, and my body has been much better, presumably it won't hurt tomorrow." ”

Jiang Shishi was afraid that the prince would let her go back to the East Palace, so she pretended to be like no one.

She hasn't met her eldest brother yet, and she still has something urgent to do, so she can't go back to the East Palace for the time being.

Therefore, no matter how uncomfortable she is, she must persevere.

"......" Pei Xuanling didn't understand much of this, and since the women said so, he didn't say anything more.

After dinner, Jiang Shishi was dizzy and sleepy, so she continued to lie down and slept until dawn.

For the next two days, she recuperated in the courtyard.

On the 29th, the physical discomfort completely disappeared, and she continued to serve as the prince's bodyguard.

On the night of March 29, King Kang summoned the Seventh and Ninth Princes to discuss matters in King Kang's Mansion.

"Brother, how did you arrange this imperial examination?" The Nine Princes asked.

King Kang crossed Erlang's legs and sat on the back of the Taishi's chair leisurely, "Don't worry, I have installed a lot of people in the imperial examination this time, some of them are both civil and military, and some are good at martial arts, but some are not good at literature." ”

The Seventh Prince: "Second brother, since the literature is not good, why should they participate in the liberal arts examination?" ”

"I do this, and I naturally have my reasons." King Kang talked about the reason, "The three of us, Lao Qi, you are specialized in business, and the money you earn is used to deal with the top and bottom." ”

"Lao Jiu and I are both from the military, and the forces below are all from the yamen of the military, so we have to work harder, win over more people who are from the literature, or cultivate some officials from the literature."

"You can have that." The Seventh Prince first agreed, and then questioned, "But even if we lack talents from literature, we have to find some talented people, you let a bunch of martial arts people participate in the liberal arts examination, isn't it a donkey's lips to the horse's mouth?" ”

The Ninth Prince: "Seventh Brother is right, at that time... If they can't pass the test, won't it be a delay? ”

King Kang: "You can rest assured, I have prepared tools for them to cheat in advance, and if nothing happens, they will definitely be able to achieve good results in the imperial examination." ”

"Cheating?!" The Seven Princes and the Nine Princes exclaimed in unison.

Seventh Prince: "Second brother, this cheating is not fun, if it is not discovered, it will be killed with a cane." ”

"Since I dare to let them cheat, I promise that they will not be discovered." King Kang swore an oath, "And, as far as I know, they have passed many searches, and now that the imperial examination has been conducted for three days, they have not been found yet, and they will definitely be able to pass this examination safely!" ”

"Are you sure?" The Seventh Prince was still a little uneasy, "Second brother, do you want us to spend more silver, buy a few more examiners, and take care of it?" ”

"No, you don't." Seeing that the Seventh Prince was not at ease, King Kang said ruthlessly, "The cheating method I provided to them this time will definitely not be discovered, if it is discovered, I will call you two brothers, okay?!" ”

The Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince glanced at each other: "......"

**

In the early morning of March 30, Pei Xuanling received a secret letter from the Green Wings.

The letter said that the Kang Wang Party had written a kind of black salt water on his clothes, and under normal circumstances, it could not be found.

It has to be roasted over a fire before the words on the clothes are revealed.

After reading it, Pei Xuanling threw the secret letter into the oil lamp and burned it, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Huang Dechang, pass on the Gu order, immediately summon the guards of the Tribute Academy, and search all the scholars of the Tribute Academy again, especially to bake their clothes with candles!" ”

At the sound of an order, the originally peaceful examination room suddenly became chaotic.

The prince also personally led people to search the Gongyuan, Jiang Shishi and Huang Dechang held candles in their hands and searched them one by one in the number room.

At first, they didn't find anything, and the scholars began to complain that the guards were interfering with their exams.

After about a stick of incense, when Jiang Shishi baked a beige dress with a candle flame, the examinees in the room looked not quite right.

Soon, dense black handwriting appeared on the dress.

When Jiang Shishi baked all the clothes, she saw that the clothes were covered with the contents of the Four Books and the Five Classics.

Huang Dechang: "Sure enough, someone cheats!" ”

The methods of cheating by these people are too high, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince receiving the secret letter, they would have really let them get through the test.

In this way, it is too unfair to the rest of the candidates, and it is also a big loss to the imperial court.

When the candidate saw that the matter was revealed, he wanted to run, but was controlled by Huang Dechang and others.

At the same time, many guards have found cheaters in other rooms.

Until the afternoon, a total of more than 20 cheating candidates were found.

If it is an ordinary cheating case, it will be killed on the spot.

Cases of cheating by gangs like this have to be reported to the emperor.

Pei Xuanling collected the information of those scholars, recorded them in the book, and went to the Baohe Hall with the six princes.

Those scholars have a lot to do with the Kangwang Party, as long as you look at the information, you can know.

However, on the same day, Emperor Jianyuan only ordered all candidates who cheated to be cut in half.

In addition, the Kang Wang party was not punished.

**

That night, King Kang, the Seventh Prince, and the Ninth Prince, the three stinkers, gathered in King Kang's Mansion again.

The Seventh Prince: "Second brother, who said it in the first place, and it will never be discovered?!" ”

Nine Princes: "Brother, I didn't say you, you didn't do this beautifully!" ”

Even if King Kang was his brother, he couldn't help but say a few words.

The matter was not done, King Kang sneered slightly, "It's been a few days since the exam, and there was no problem at all, but who knew that the prince suddenly led someone to search for the candidates, and also asked people to roast the scholars' clothes with fire." ”

Those people are all martial artists with strong martial arts, and I wanted them to cultivate both civil and military skills, go to the upper building, and find a better errand.

Who knew that after a imperial examination, his life was gone, and he simply lost his wife and soldiers!

Nine Princes: "This is obviously deliberately aimed at us. ”

"It means that there are internal ghosts around us." The Seventh Prince looked at King Kang, "Who knows about this?" ”

King Kang thought for a while, "There are more than 20 candidates alone, plus some other people, there are probably more than 30 people who know." ”

"Second brother, what are you asking me to say about you?" The Seventh Prince shook his head after hearing this, "You have made such an important matter known to everyone, isn't this equivalent to sending the handle to the crown prince?" ”

Nine Princes: "But isn't it, I've heard that the prince and the sixth child wrote down the situation of the cheating candidates into a booklet and handed it to the father, and the booklet indicated that those candidates were our people, but fortunately, the father only punished the candidates after reading it, and did not pursue us." ”

King Kang: "I guessed a long time ago that my father would not punish us. ”

My father was good at playing with the emperor's trade-offs, not only playing with the ministers, but also the princes.

Now the princes have formed the princelings, the Muwang party, and the Kangwang party, and the situation of the three parties is full of power, which is caused by the father and the emperor.

His King Kang's party was already worse than the crown prince and King Mu, if his father punished them severely, it would be difficult for King Kang's party to compete with the prince and King Mu.

Therefore, the father chose to turn a blind eye.

The Seventh Prince: "You can guess so much, how can you not guess that your cheating method will be revealed?" ”

"It's true that I didn't think about it enough." King Kang was aroused by the crown prince, "However, since the prince has caused me to lose many capable generals, I also have to repay him." ”

The Seventh Prince: "Come on, Second Brother, don't get involved, and then leave it to me and Lao Jiu." ”

"No, Lao Tzu has to fight with the prince for a few rounds in person." King Kang became more and more frustrated, and he had to have a good fight with the prince.

The Seventh Prince: "Then you have to talk to us first, we will help you with the staff and see if it is feasible." ”

So, King Kang leaned over the coffee table to the ear of the Seventh Prince and whispered, and the Seventh Prince conveyed it to the Ninth Prince.

After hearing this, the Ninth Prince and the Seventh Prince glanced at each other, and both of them felt that King Kang's method of fighting back seemed to sound good?

However, the Seventh Prince did not immediately agree to King Kang, but quipped: "I remember that last time someone said that if the cheating method is discovered, he wants to call us to call my brother, but my brother didn't shout, and you still want us to continue to listen to him?" ”

The Ninth Prince smiled and nodded in agreement: "That's it." ”

"......" King Kang gritted his teeth and showed the face of being an elder brother, "Seventh brother, ninth brother, then you don't care, leave it to the younger brother and I will do it, do you think this will be done?" ”

The Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince smiled heartily, and said in unison: "Done!" ”

**

Since the last time someone was found to have cheated with black salt water, the Gongyuan has finally been peaceful.

On the fourth day of April, the imperial examination ended, and the candidates handed in their examination papers before dusk.

However, they will not be able to leave until tomorrow.

Because every time there are candidates in the imperial examination, they don't want to go back empty-handed, so they take things out of the Gongyuan with their hands.

The Gongyuan didn't have much value, so they brought some bricks and tiles back as a souvenir.

Therefore, candidates should also be searched when they leave the venue.

On this day and night, Pei Xuanling discussed things with the examiners until late at night.

He instructed the examiners to send the papers to the Hanlin Academy, and sealed and recorded the test papers.

Then, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of the Hanlin Academy read the papers and filled in the list.

After discussing this, when Pei Xuanling returned to his small courtyard, it was already late at night.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Pei Xuanling was a little sleepy, and he planned to rest.

Who knew that as soon as Huang Dechang saw him, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Jiang Temple is gone." ”

"When did you not see you?" Pei Xuanling was sleepy.

Playing small and seeing too much deceit, Pei Xuanling had to think about it a little more.

Could it be that the party dispute implicated her, and someone attacked her?
