Chapter 480 While the people's discussion was intensifying, another piece of news attracted the attention of the people of Great Qin with lightning speed.

Daqin, will be three months later, open the imperial examination, people who know that they are talented, can be a month later in the county government first to take the preliminary examination, each county preliminary examination top ten, go to Xianyang to participate in the big examination, and these ten people's carriage and horse expenses are borne by each county.

It can be said that this matter has been affecting the hearts of people all over the world, and everyone all over the world is waiting for this news. Now as soon as the news of the opening of the imperial examination in Daqin came out, the eyes of the people of the world were suddenly not on the matter of the prince, but on the matter of the imperial examination.

In the Xianyang Palace, the First Emperor looked at the news from the secret guards, and the people attached great importance to this matter, especially many scholars, who were already gearing up.

But the First Emperor was a little nervous in his heart, because if there was a problem in this first imperial examination, it would be a huge blow to Great Qin's face.

Li Si naturally saw the worry of the First Emperor, and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already planned the matter of the imperial examination, and this time as long as it is done step by step, there will be no problems." ”

"How prepared are the exam questions?" The First Emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, there are two sets of papers, one for the county government and one for the big exam, all of which have been prepared." Li Si said: "And the minister has already read it, the test questions given by the prince are all the test questions of the way to govern the country, the way to be loyal to the monarch and the country, and the way to treat the people of the world, and there will be no problems." ”

"That's fine." The First Emperor asked, "Who do you say will be the chief examiner?" Li Si thought for a while and said, "The minister recommended Master Yao Jia." ”

"Why?" The First Emperor asked.

"Lord Yao Jia has made a bad reputation for my Daqin. As the examiner, it is a hidden question, and anyone who gives bribes can be eliminated directly if they have improper morals. Li Si arched his hand and said.

After hearing this, the First Emperor nodded and said, "Then Yao Jia will be the chief examiner, and this matter will be decided." ”

"No!" ······ On the other side, in the second prince's mansion, the prince Gao was listening to Xuanyuan's plan.

"Your Highness, although the imperial examination has overshadowed the prince's affairs, this is not a bad thing for us."

"The imperial examination is a grand event in the world, and if we introduce the prince's affairs into the topic of scholars, it may have a better effect." Xuanyuan smiled quietly.

The prince Gao Yi frowned and said, "Xuanyuan wait, your courage is really big, you dare to mess with the first imperial examination of Great Qin." ”

"All for His Highness, the villain forgets to die!" Xuanyuan waited and said firmly. The prince smiled coldly, and was about to speak, when the subordinates outside the door shouted outside: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the King of Shu has come down, and he is in the front hall at this time." ”

"What is he here for?" The prince frowned.

"Your Highness, the purpose of the King of Shu's visit this time is unknown, Your Highness still has to deal with it carefully." Xuanyuan said quietly.

Wang Zigao stood up and said, "You wait here, I'll go and meet my good big brother." Fusu sat in the front hall of the second prince, and the servants brought tea, but Fusu was not in the mood to drink it.

After a while, footsteps sounded, and Wang Zigao walked in.

"Big brother, what wind blew you here?" The prince arched his hand and said.

"My father asked me to come." Fusu said. The prince sat down for a moment, sat down next to Fusu and asked, "Big brother, is there anything wrong?" Fusu looked at his second brother and asked, "Do you know all the folk discussions about the fourth brother?" ”

"Yes." The prince nodded and said: "The fourth brother did something wrong this time, even if it is a helpless grave, he shouldn't do that, and even used it as an academic, which made the public angry." ”

"Folk discussions are endless, what do you think?" Fusu asked.

"How else can you look at it, who can block the leisurely mouth of the people in this world." Wang Zigao said. opened the teacup and took a sip, and said, "There must be someone behind this matter." ”

"At the moment, the most suspicious thing is you, fourth brother." Fusu said lightly. The prince's eyelids jumped, and then he smiled: "Big brother, you are really joking, I don't dare to do such a thing." Don't you know our fourth brother, our fourth brother's momentum last time he arrested Hu Hai, but it scared me, I don't want to fight him, it's too dangerous. Fusu didn't even look at Gongzi Gao, and continued: "Of course, this is only one possibility, that is, someone wants to harm you, after all, only you have the ability to fight with the prince now." ”

"Who's going to kill me?" Wang Zigao asked hypocritically. Fusu looked at the prince Gao and said: "Father said that this matter will be investigated by you, it is best to find out, and if you can't find out, continue to investigate until you find out." Wang Zigao's face froze suddenly.

Fusu stood up and said: "Second brother, the secret guard of the father emperor is not as simple as it seems, if they check, they will definitely be able to find out, but the father will not let the secret guard help you easily, so you have to watch it yourself." Fusu left these words and walked out.

Wang Zigao's face slowly became ugly, and finally even a look of fear appeared. As soon as Fusu left on the front foot, the prince came to the backyard to find Xuanyuan and wait.

After seeing Xuanyuan waiting, the first thing Prince Gao said was: "Stop spreading the topic of Prince 2 digging graves." Xuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" The prince said with a cold face: "Your Majesty already suspects that I did it!" Xuanyuan waited quietly but smiled: "Your Highness, this is normal, after all, you are the most suspicious person, and it is precisely because of this that you are not the least suspicious person." The prince looked at Xuanyuan coldly and said, "You don't know about the secret guard!" I don't even know about Your Majesty! ”

"If you continue, or introduce this matter into the topic of scholars as you say, I'm afraid that the secret guards will be stationed in my place in the next moment."

"When the time comes, as long as His Majesty determines the facts, even if the secret guard can't pry open your mouth, it will be the truth. For the sake of Great Qin's stability, Your Majesty can kill anyone, even me! The prince clenched his fists and said.

"Your Highness, do you want to continue the affairs in the south?" Xuanyuan waited and sighed silently in his heart.

"Go on." Huang Zigao said: "The death or life of the crown prince does not affect the hearts of the people in the Great Qin world, as long as the people's hearts are not moved, His Majesty will not pay too much attention to them." ”

"No." The prince looked at Xuanyuan and waited, and said, "This time the Great Qin opened the imperial examination, I hope you can participate." There are not many people in the court who support me, and I need to train a group of people to enter the court. ”

"The villain understands." Xuanyuan waited and lowered his head, a smile on his face.
