"Lady, thank you for your hard work."

Jian Shiming accompanied Tao Xi to have breakfast, and then hurriedly went out again, Tao Xi knew that he must have discussed with his classmates.

It's just that when he came back in the evening, Tao Xi found that Jian Shiming's expression was wrong.

"Xianggong, what's wrong with you?"

"Lady, I accidentally heard a few rich and noble children in Kyoto say today that they have already obtained the exam questions."

Jian Shiming is not a person who easily loses his mind, but he still feels uncomfortable:

"I have to wonder if someone is using this to make a profit."

"It's a possibility."

Tao Xi thought about it, whether it is in the past life or now, the college entrance examination and the imperial examination are exams that change people's lives.

So there are always people who use this thing to make a profit, and it was easier in ancient times.

After all, the exam questions are not as modern as modern in these years, and the printing technology is not so good, so the good exam questions have to be transcribed in advance.

The time for spring is getting closer and closer, and several examiners have probably discussed the exam questions.

"I'm just not worth it for those students who have been studying hard for ten years."

Jian Shiming has this confidence, no matter what kind of exam questions, he can deal with them easily.

It's just a matter of ranking.

But others are not necessarily, especially those students from poor families, point to Chunqiu.

"If you are confused, you can ask Gu Ye or Ji Zihe."

Tao Xi knew that the Gu family and the Ji family were not simple, so he gave Jian Shiming advice.

But Jian Shiming shook his head and said, "No, you can't tell others about this."

Tao Xi thought he was going to act as if he didn't know about it.

He picked up his pen and began to write a letter, and he wrote down the exam questions mentioned by the noble son.

It took forty or fifty copies to write before he summoned Aomatsu and said, "Tomorrow, before everyone gets up, send these to the gates of Kyoto's prefectures."

Especially at the entrance of several chief examiners' mansions, the remaining dozen or so letters were sent to various teahouses in Kyoto."

The teahouse is a place where gossip gathers, and Jian Shiming wants to make this matter known all over the city.

At that time, the emperor will not know that he will not be able to do it, so he will beat these examiners hard.

"Xianggong, you are so smart!"

Tao Xi gave Jian Shiming a thumbs up, and he hugged her into his arms.

"Alright, let's get some rest."

Early the next morning, Tao Xi asked Qing Yu to go outside to inquire about the news, and when he came back, Qing Yu was full of smiles.

"Master, as you expected, now the major officials in Kyoto are in danger, for fear that it is their own son who will be exposed.

The slave maid also heard that the palace has summoned several examiners into the palace!"

"Hmm."

Tao Xi nodded, it seems that these people can't play villains.

Even if her husband is only a person now, they can't escape from the palm of his hand.

At this time, the atmosphere in the palace was extremely solid, the emperor was sitting at the top, and a piece of paper was placed on the table.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?!!

He slapped the table angrily, and King Jing hurriedly reassured, "Father, don't be angry first, your sons will definitely find out about this matter!"

"Shut up!"

The emperor glared at King Jing and looked at several ministers who looked like quails, led by the official ministers.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have only discussed the exam questions, this is definitely a rumor!"

"Yes, the emperor, the exam questions of the ministers are still out of him quickly?"

"Wechen is wronged."

「……」

A few people knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, this thing is not good, but they are going to lose their heads.

"I don't care who one of you did it, anyway, all the previous exam questions are invalid!"

The Emperor stared coldly at the six people kneeling in front of him, "Don't think that I don't know.

King Jing, I order you to investigate this matter thoroughly, and if there are still people in Kyoto who sell exam questions, I will arrest them all!"

section

Cheating is no small matter!

Whether it is true or not, the emperor will not tolerate it, after all, this is an opportunity for the family to arrange for people they trust to enter the officialdom.

can be stirred up by Jian Shiming like this, no one wants to have a good time.

Out of the palace, the head of the official Shangshu glanced at the few people behind him, "I warn you, if anyone dares to mess around, don't blame me for ignoring the feelings of my colleagues!"

After speaking, he hurried out of the palace, and I don't know who muttered softly.

"Who doesn't know it's you who's really messing around."

"Shhh, don't talk nonsense, the emperor has beaten him, he shouldn't dare, let's just do our part."

"You are stupid not to pull a few people, and you will be pulled out to cushion your back."

「……」

A few people walked away slowly, and King Jing stood not far away, his eyes deep.

"What are you thinking?"

The emperor stood next to King Jing, and although he couldn't hear their conversation clearly, he was obviously able to guess a rough idea.

"Father, don't you really know who that person is?"

King Jing sighed, anyone with a discerning eye could see it, how could his father not see it if he was so wise.

"There are too many people involved in him, and it's not so easy to pull out."

The emperor sighed, why didn't he want a clean court.

But when he became the emperor, he realized that even he was sometimes involuntarily.

"What about the harem?"

King Jing squinted his eyes, and he was talking about Liu Guifei, the sister of the official Shangshu, although the emperor favored her, but it was all because of her family and brother.

The emperor's eyes looked deeply at the tall palace wall, "You, you still have a lot to learn."

Yubi raised his feet and left to go to the harem.

Looking at the emperor's back, King Jing walked out of the palace with complicated eyes, and before he went far, he saw a familiar figure.

That person was Jian Shiming, he had seen him, but there were too many people staring at him in Kyoto, and even if he knew, he would not talk to Jian Shiming.

Jian Shiming also saw King Jing sitting in the carriage, the two glanced at each other, and then looked away casually.

On the carriage, King Jing lowered the curtain of the carriage, and Jian Shiming outside the carriage hurriedly lowered his eyes like the ordinary people outside.

They all recognized each other.

Back in the mansion, Jian Shiming said to Tao Xi, "I saw King Jing today."

"Oh?"

Tao Xi is very interested, you must know that Jian Shiming and King Jing in the book are in a cooperative relationship.

I'm afraid that there will be a chemical reaction soon, but the two have always been strangers in public.

"You seem to be interested in him?"

Jian Shiming raised his eyebrows, vigilance rose in his heart, and Tao Xi couldn't cry or laugh.

"I'm not interested in him, but in whether you'll cross paths in the future."

"Gu Yan is not in Kyoto, it's hard to say."

Jian Shiming knew that Gu Yan was a person who respected the king, but Gu Yan was not there, maybe the king would think that he didn't know them.

But he didn't expect that King Jing would visit their home in the middle of the night, when Tao Xi and Jian Shiming had just washed up and planned to rest.

Jian Shiming heard the noise outside and walked out, and met the wise eyes of King Shangjing.

"You won't want me to sit down?"

"My lady is about to rest, let's go to the front yard."

Jian Shiming didn't want to disturb Tao Xi, nor did he want Tao Xi to have more contact with King Jing.
