But fortunately, Xiao Chen is not an official in the court, and Xuezheng is also a temporary position, and when the spring festival is over, he will go back to Yanyun, so he will cut off contact with those students, those students can't rely on him, and he can't support his own power in the court.

Therefore, it is okay to let Xiao Chen do the imperial history of the left capital, and it is okay to be a scholar and politician, but he can't let him do both, in that case, Li Wanjiang is afraid that he will not be able to sleep again in the future......

The imperial examination, as usual, is presided over by the Ministry of Rites, Cheng Youwen is unreliable, Jiang Tiansheng has shallow qualifications, and now the Ministry of Rites does not have a scholar, otherwise let Xiao Chen receive the title of a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, so that he will be more justified as a scholar.

But this thought was only fleeting, and finally it was not spoken.

After saying goodbye to the emperor and coming out, Gong Shouli, who was waiting outside, immediately greeted him in a hurry, and asked, "Where did you get Yang Feng'er?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense about your old Gong!" Xiao Chen was startled, and subconsciously looked left and right.

"Then what do you have a weak heart?" Gong Shouli observed his words and looks, and felt that he had a ghost in his kid's heart.

"Who has a weak heart, this is the Qinzheng Palace, what is it if you speak quietly and be heard by the emperor?" Xiao Chen said.

"I'm going to tell the emperor to go up!" Gong Shouli said, "Now that I look back and think about it, Lao Tzu was calculated by you again, what did Yang Feng'er say to die or live, I think it's true that you kid wants her!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Xiao Chen's face turned slightly red.

"What are you blushing for?" Gong Shouli was keenly aware of the subtle changes in the expression on Xiao Chen's face.

"Refreshed!" Xiao Chen said.

"Why is the emperor going to kill you?" Gong Shouli said with a smile, "It just so happens that people are being killed outside this time, have you caught up with this group?" ”

"Not only does the emperor not want to kill me, but he also wants to promote me to an official, don't you say it's angry?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"What the hell can you kid be promoted?" Gong Shouli said angrily, "If you ascend again, you will ascend to heaven, I look at you!" ”

"Thank you very much, thank you for your kind words." Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"I look at your virtue, why are you really promoted?" Gong Shouli was even more angry.

"I'm just telling you, don't tell anyone." Xiao Chen leaned into his ear and whispered, "The emperor wants me to be the chief examiner of academic politics in the spring of next year." ”

"What the hell!" Gong Shouli's seven tricks are on fire, why are all the good things given by your kid?

"Look at you, you are angry, laughing, and the pattern is too small." Xiao Chen said with a smile, "You also know that the main examination for academic politics has never been done by one person, and there must be at least one deputy chief examiner, I think your old Gong is very suitable, I also recommended you to the emperor just now, and the emperor also agreed, you go in and thank you." ”

"Really?" Gong Shouli was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and he was about to turn around and enter the hall.

"You just listen seriously, hurry up, the emperor is waiting for you." Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"What the hell, you're a stinky boy and you're teasing me again!" Gong Shouli came back to his senses, he was happy, and knew that even if the emperor was willing to make him a waiter, he would not let him be the main examiner of academic politics...... He can't read.

In fact, I still know each other, but there are not many, and this is still after entering the palace as a eunuch, I followed the emperor to school.

Although eunuchs can't read and write according to the regulations, the emperor doesn't have this restriction on him, and encourages him to read and write, and the emperor really didn't say anything to him.

But he and Xiao Chen are not the only literate eunuchs, after Xiao Chen reminded him last time, he immediately started a secret investigation.

Sure enough, it was found that several little eunuchs who were serving the emperor's imperial study were also literate, and they were also suspected of secretly delivering paper packages outside the palace......

This made him very angry, and he did this under Lao Tzu's nose, not only to find death yourself, but also to kill Lao Tzu!

Fortunately, Xiao Chen reminded him, otherwise he was afraid that when the East Window incident happened, he would still be kept in the dark and would be involved!

These rabbit cubs are really too bold, even if I Gong Shouli and Xiao Chen in front of me are afraid that they won't be able to do it!

And these guys risk their lives to do this kind of headless business, but I am afraid that the people behind the scenes are not trivial, they are all very shrewd, and they will definitely not do this thing just for a few taels of silver......

The emperor is not dead yet, so you are thinking about recognizing the new master?

"Xiao Chen, do you want to tell the emperor about this?" Gong Shouli consulted Xiao Chen, because Xiao Chen was currently the leader of their small gang handling the case, mainly because he himself couldn't make up his mind.

"You must grasp the tangible evidence for this kind of thing, and everyone can get the stolen goods, otherwise even if they are killed, they will not admit it, admitting it is a capital crime to destroy the door, who will admit it? You tell the emperor, if the emperor asks you for evidence, you can't answer, you can't say that you heard about it, right? Xiao Chen said.

"That's what I said, but if the exam questions set by the emperor really leaked out, and we didn't catch the current situation, wouldn't it be ......," Gong Shouli said.

"Wouldn't it be better to call you stupid, you have a runny nose, and leak it out?" Xiao Chen said.

"yes, what do you call that!" Gong Shouli was surprised.

"Lao Gong, Lao Gong, you have to be calm when you encounter things, I think you are a little excited, your brain is not good, what are you afraid of if the exam questions leak out? Why don't we have to change the question before the exam? Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"Isn't that what the hell is going on?" Gong Shouli was greatly annoyed when he heard this, and slapped his head hard.

"Don't beat it, it's the same as a watermelon, and if you beat it into a rotten watermelon, it will be a complete waste." Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"And what do you mean?" Gong Shouli asked.

"Mainly now, we can't tell what the emperor means? Will he deal with it openly in a high-profile manner, or will he handle it secretly in a low-key manner? I also told the emperor about Cheng Youwen just now, and the emperor doesn't seem to be noncommittal, so let's wait and see what happens while investigating secretly, in short, let the emperor take the initiative. ”

"Well, the emperor has summoned you for so long, what have you talked about?" Gong Shouli knew that he shouldn't ask, but he couldn't help but ask, and the expression on his face was extremely strange.

"What do you want to ask?" Xiao Chen said, "You can ask whatever you want, as long as you ask, I will definitely answer you, even if it is a big secret matter, I will never hide it from you, you ask." ”

"Forget it then." Gong Shouli grinned when he listened.

"You don't dare to ask, how dare I say it?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"It's so hard to talk to you!" Gong Shouli said, "I wanted to inquire about something, but I was almost found out by you, in short, there are some things you know, I know, I know, I know, you may not know, I don't ask you, you don't ask me, you don't dare to say, I don't dare to say......"

"Since we don't dare to say it, let's not say it, anyway, one day it will come to light." Xiao Chen said, "By the way, the 500,000 silver you gave is almost expensive, and there is no funding, how can you do anything?" You take two million taels again. ”
