With the emperor's personal supervision, the review of the Chunqiu test papers went very smoothly and was completed in only three days.

When the roster of students who planned to participate in the palace examination was sent, Ye Tianhuai was worried about a secret letter in Jingshou Palace.

It was Tao Yuan's secret letter that Li Baoquan brought back from Huisheng Pawn.

Tao Yuan asked her for someone, someone who surprised her.

Wang Siyun.

Tao Yuan wanted to bring her into the Eagle Guard as a reserve training.

This made Ye Qianhuai a little embarrassed.

Because according to the rules of the Eagle Guard, if Wang Siyun wants to become a member of the Eagle Guard, he must give up his current identity, and there will be no more Wang Siyun in this world.

This also means that she cannot come forward as a witness to identify Gu Haiwang's crime.

It is not surprising that Wang Siyun would have such a decision.

The great scenery is heavy on agriculture and suppresses business. Although the Heshun Buzhuang run by the Wang family has a good business and is well-known in Beijing, it is a businessman after all. Wang Siyun was born in the Wang family, and he is a business in terms of household registration, and he belongs to a lowly family, and in terms of social status, he is treated the same as a prostitute.

Gu Haiwang, who was in the third rank of the official residence, raped a lowly woman, even if the circumstances were bad, according to the laws of Dajing, at most, he would only deprive him of all his official positions and the right to inherit his title, and he would be demoted to a commoner.

Of course, for Ye Qianhuai, this is enough.

As long as the name Gu Haiwang can be completely eliminated from Dajing's officialdom once and for all, whether he lives or dies is the same for Ye Tianhuai.

But such a punishment is obviously far from enough for Wang Siyun.

Because if Wang Siyun stands up and identifies Gu Haiwang's actions in front of everyone, it will be equivalent to telling the world the fact that he is not complete before he leaves the cabinet.

Not only that, but she also had to describe how she was ruined completely and accurately.

In this world where a woman's chastity is more important than her life, no matter what kind of punishment Gu Haiwang is finally punished, Wang Siyun must die with his full name.

Ye Qianhuai once asked Tao Yuan to convey the benefits and truths to Wang Siyun.

She was willing to respect the little girl's own choice.

She can choose to fight for her life, or she can choose to live with her anger.

But with Ye Qianhuai's understanding of her, this thin girl can hold Gu Shihai's longevity lock tightly for so many days and appear in front of her alive, it is by no means a temperament that can swallow her anger.

It's just that she didn't expect that she would choose a third path other than that.

Ye Tianhuai looked at Tao Yuan's secret letter and was a little embarrassed.

What made her the most difficult was that Tao Yuan came forward to ask for it.

She just opened her mouth and said that Tao Yuan had made great contributions to Du Jing's affairs, and took the initiative to ask him what reward he wanted.

Now Tao Yuan has come to ask for it, if she refuses, it will seem that she, the emperor, is narrow-minded and has reversed.

But if Gu Haiwang is let go this time, I don't know when I will have another chance to bring him down.

The emperor's wedding is just around the corner, and after getting married, Gu Haiwang is the uncle of the country, and at that time he had the gold medal of the emperor's relatives and relatives to avoid death, and it was even more difficult to move him again.

When she hesitated, Li Baoquan brought back the roster of Chunyu admission from Taiqing Pavilion.

Ye Qianhuai put away the secret letter and decided to keep it for the time being.

"Your Majesty, this is the roster sent by Taiqing Pavilion, and the candidates' results in various subjects are also on it." Li Baoquan respectfully put the roster on Ye Tianhuai's case with both hands.

The examination papers for this re-examination were very difficult, only five people got the first grades in all three subjects, and only one hundred and twenty tributes were admitted.

Ye Qianhuai looked at the list, and she paid special attention to Lin Yuxiu's name.

His name is on the register, and his grades are two A and one B, and his ranking is also high.

"Let the Ministry of Rites arrange the temple test according to this list. One hundred and twenty people, one day should be enough. Ye Qianhuai stamped the seal, closed the register, and handed it back to Li Baoquandao.

After speaking, she remembered something again, and said, "By the way, after you go to the Ministry of Rites, you will go to Taiqing Pavilion again and call Lu Yanchen to me." ”

The reason why Ye Tianhuai looked for Lu Yanchen was very simple.

"Sir, do you know who did the work of the piece of advice I brought to your attention that day?" As soon as he saw Lu Yanchen, Ye Tianhuai asked straight to the point.

Lu Yanchen looked a little embarrassed, he lowered his head, and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, I know." ”

"Who did it?" Seeing that Lu Yanchen didn't go on, Ye Tianhuai asked again.

"It was made by Lin Yuxiu."

Ye Tianhuai's face was surprised, she pondered, and asked: "I remember that his score in this spring is two A and one B, and the one who got B is one Mingshu subject. His strategy is so well written, why did Mingshu only get a B? Is there a mistake in the previous question? ”

Hearing Ye Tianhuai say this, Lu Yanchen put his mind down a little and replied: "That's not it, his scores in one subject are all deducted from the strategy." ”

Lu Yanchen paused, and then said: "This article is sharp and unreasonable, so the minister agreed to deduct points." ”

Ye Tianhuai smiled and asked, "Sir, is this to beat him or to protect him?" ”

Lu Yanchen didn't respond, as if he didn't know how to answer.

Ye Tianhuai knew his temperament, no longer joking with him, and said with a straight face: "I will say it differently." When Mr. saw that policy, could you guess that Lin Yuxiu wrote it? ”

"Guessed a few points." Lu Yanchen is not shy about it.

"How many points?" Ye Qianhuai asked.

"Seven points." Lu Yanchen paused for a moment, and then said, "However, for the judgment of his policy, the minister is not half selfish. ”

His expression was resolute, his eyes were full of frankness with a clear conscience, and his words were eloquent.

"I understand who he is. What's more, you deducted so many points from him, and partiality is not such a bias. However, what I want to tell my husband is that if this article is judged by me, I will give him full marks. ”

Lu Yanchen raised his eyes and looked at Ye Qianhuai, with some surprise and puzzlement in his eyes.

Ye Tianhuai lowered his eyes and said: "In addition to evaluating candidates, reviewing examination papers also has a very important significance, that is, the guiding role. Among the literati of Dajing today, there is a pompous atmosphere of singing praises of virtue. ”

She raised her head and looked at Lu Yanchen, and said: "Sir, I should have also discovered that this time I have also discovered that although the topic is on the rise and fall of the Rui Dynasty, many candidates have written and written, and they have begun to talk about the benefits of the Jing Dynasty system, and then they have praised the Holy Ancestor Emperor, and even boasted about it." Ye Tianhuai sighed and said, "Alas, this kind of writing is about to be set into a fixed form." ”

"I look at these all day long, and after a long time, I'm afraid that I really want to feel that this world is prosperous and peaceful, and I am a sage of Shengming."

Ye Qianhuai's expression darkened after speaking.

She remembered a lot of things, remembered her former self.

But soon, she swept away the gloom on her face and said: "It is precisely because of the atmosphere inside and outside the government and the opposition that I need to reward such articles. I want the world to understand that it is not enough to whitewash the peace here, I need someone who can find problems and face them head-on. ”

Lu Yanchen looked at her for a long time, knelt down, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”
