Thinking like this, the gaze they landed on Lu Zezhong and Liu Yuheng was inquiring.

"Take a good look at these two adults, mark their current appearance, maybe one day in the future, you will be like them, kneeling here and talking to me."

The emperor sat on the high dragon chair, his eyes fixed on the officials, and said coldly.

"The ministers are terrified!"

The ministers knelt down one after another, trembling and trembling.

"Are you afraid?

If you are really afraid, then the world is really peaceful! ”

The emperor shouted angrily, and then gave Gonggong Ling a look, and Gonggong Ling hurriedly stepped forward, took the test paper in Taifu Wei's hand, and put it on the emperor's bookcase.

The emperor took the test paper and asked, "Who are the top three you have chosen?"

Mrs. Wei hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the ministers and others unanimously believe that the first is none other than the eighth prince of the Ji family!" ”

Ji Youze's article is really outstanding, especially for the current situation, people's livelihood, and the various policy issues facing the DPRK and China.

Mrs. Wei looked really happy, and after reading his article, Mrs. Wei couldn't help but think, if this is not a palace exam, these test papers need to be read by a group of examiners, and His Majesty decides, and if they are archived in the future, Ji Youze will definitely write something even different.

"Youze's knowledge is indeed very good, he is my companion, since he was a child, he has been with you since he was a child, and he has been taught by all the Taixue masters.

He won the championship, and the blood was well deserved!

It's just that in last year's exam, Youze only took the fifth, and now he won the first place in the palace test, I wonder if there will be anyone among the scholars who will be dissatisfied? ”

"Ah......h

Mrs. Wei was in trouble.

It was not only Mrs. Wei who was in trouble, but also Xu Zhengzhong, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University.

"What Your Majesty said is very true, and the minister thinks the same way, but ......"

Before Xu Zhengzhong, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, finished speaking, he felt the emperor's little eyes that were secretly poked.

He suddenly remembered that before this, the emperor had directly come to his new champion......

So the conversation changed, "However, Ji Youze's talent is beyond doubt, his article is simply better than the scholar next to him, he took this first armor this time, and it is well deserved!" ”

is an honest official, and he won't sit in his position if he doesn't know how to read words and looks!

"What do you think?"

The emperor asked everyone leisurely.

Everyone spoke in unison, "Lord Xu is right!" ”

"Since you all have a discerning eye, then this armor is Youze."

The emperor's cinnabar pen circled the first armor, and then asked.

"Where's Erjia?"

Mrs. Wei hurriedly burst out with another name, "Liang Song, this person is a student of Guozijian, and he also worshipped the Lord of Wine as a teacher, he is the first member of last year's examination, his article this time is not as sharp as Ji Youze, and his views are not deep enough, but among the students, except for Ji Youze, it is difficult for others to stand out!"

The Lord of the Wine Sacrifice and Dr. Xu of the Guozijian were both great Confucians of the current dynasty, and their knowledge was on a par with Wei Taifu, Wenyuange University Scholar Xu Zhengzhong and others, and it was reasonable that his disciples could get the second class.

The emperor thought so, but he didn't express his position at the first time, but put the test paper aside.

When he let go, the hearts of the people were lifted.

Your Majesty, this is ......

"Is there a top three candidate?"

Wei Taifu continued, "Li Yu, this person is outstanding, but not as good as Ji Youze, his knowledge is also good, he has a deep insight into people's livelihood, which coincides with Ji Youze's opinion, and he can also compete, this is probably because he was born poor!" ”

After forty or fifty years, the new dynasty selected talents for the imperial court every three years, and His Majesty often said before that it was necessary to reuse scholars born in poor families, so as an example to encourage poor students in the world to study more.

Let them see that reading is good, and reading can earn a bright future for themselves!

So this time, several graders were very bold and put this poor student among the top three!

"Poor students?"

The emperor's eyes lit up, he took the test paper and looked at it, and when he saw the good places, he nodded frequently that night, and frowned and shook his head where the things didn't work.

Finally, he said, "Although this person was born in a poor family, the people's livelihood written on this test paper is indeed insightful, that is, the literary talent is poor, and the poetry is not very good."

But is there anyone else? ”

As soon as the emperor said this, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, yes, the sycophants were not filmed.

"Your Majesty, there is, there is another one, named Lu Yunsheng, that is, Lu Shangshu's son, but because of ......"

"Because of what?"

Hearing this, the emperor glanced at Xu Zhengzhong, who was speaking.

"It's nothing, Your Majesty, Lu Yunsheng's test paper is here!"

Xu Zhengzhong hurriedly took out Lu Yunsheng's test paper and handed it to the emperor.

Lu Yunsheng told the truth, he was originally a young master in Beijing, how much merit can he do in reading?

I tried it last year, but I just roasted it and hung it at the end.

At this time, Xu Zhengzhong withdrew him, just to bring out Li Yu, who he was optimistic about, and another reason was that the rumor that Lu Yunsheng was the orphan of Qingwangfu spread far and wide, and the emperor didn't seem to take any action.

They pushed him out at this time, just to test the emperor's attitude.

The emperor took Lu Yunsheng's test paper in his hand, read it carefully, and snorted coldly, "Bullshit, exaggerated words, all fantasy made up of gorgeous rhetoric, unrealistic and useless."

Such an article can also be used among the top three?

Then everyone in the world can be a genius.

You old puppets, you don't know what to do, flattering and bullying, look at your flattering faces, I am ashamed of you! ”

The emperor was furious today, and everyone was frightened to death, and they all blamed the ground and shouted: "The ministers are guilty!" ”

"Knowing that the guilty will be punished, they have deducted half a year's salary, and in the future, I will not bother to select talents for the imperial court, I will never spare it!"

Everyone should say "yes"! I thanked Your Majesty for not killing.

The emperor carefully graded the papers one by one, circled them one by one, and looked for his Tanhualang in the vast test papers!

This Tanhualang is exquisite, not only brilliant, but also very handsome.

At this time, outside, many people have fried the pot.

Because of the seizure of Ping An Pharmacy, the pear orchard was seized, followed by Li Ji Gambling House, and then people were arrested.

The first to be caught was the second-room master of the Li Mansion.

As soon as the second master of the Li Mansion was arrested, Mrs. Li's people panicked.

A group of ladies and ladies ran to Mrs. Li and cried.

"What about ma'am? My lord didn't do anything, huh? Why did the people of the Divine Trap arrest him?

Madam, my lord is following the eldest master!

If he did anything wrong, then he must have listened to the orders of the eldest master, please think of a way to save my master! ”

After the second wife of the Li family learned that her husband was arrested, she took her son and daughter and her husband's concubine to Mrs. Dafang to cry.

For a while, the second lady cried and begged, and for a while, the child in the second room cried for his father.

In a while, the concubines in the second room knelt down to the eldest lady and begged for help!

"Big lady, please save my grandfather!

Madame, we are all women, you should be able to understand our suffering!

Without the master, we will become the rootless duckweed, floating, without the master, our family will not be able to work!

Big lady, for the sake of our Huan'er just a few months after birth, you can think of a way to save our master! ”

"Auntie, please find a way to save my father!

We're a family! As the saying goes, one wins and one loses......"

"That's it!"

Mrs. Li rubbed her temples that were so noisy that she was in pain, and the second room came to threaten their big room.

"The second family, I'll put the words here today, if the second family is a top thing, as long as the Li family survives this catastrophe, he is the first merit, if he doesn't do it, then our Li family is very likely to be removed from the capital, don't cry with me here, I'm also a woman, now the eldest master hasn't been lowered, I've already asked people to invite, you cry here with me, it's useless!"

Mrs. Li didn't know about the Li family, and she didn't know about the dark box operations of the Li family and Lu Zezhong over the years.

I don't know that the emperor already has a lot of evidence in his hands at this moment.

She thought that the reason why the second master of the Li family was arrested should be that he offended someone when he was doing business?

Or maybe he's guilty of something.

At this time, Mrs. Li didn't realize that this incident would completely destroy the foundation that the Li family had built with great difficulty.

"Madame! Madame is not good, big things are not good! ”

The head of the Li family hurriedly ran in from outside, shouting loudly that something was wrong.

One called out to Madame.

"What's wrong?

Lieber, can you still talk properly? ”

Mrs. Li rubbed her eyebrows with a headache!

"Madam, it's really a big deal, I went to the master, but they didn't pass it on, and then the villain made a lot of money, and those people didn't dare to accept it, and the villain felt that there was something wrong here. There's a big deal! ”

Uncle Li's words finally alerted Mrs. Li.

"What do you say? What's going on?

Hasn't this ever happened before? ”

"Yes, madam, I'm afraid that our Li family is going to have a big deal now, you should think of a way!"

"Madame, think of a way!"

The people next to him were also anxiously urging.

"Don't make any noise, you go back first, pack up the gold and silver, find a safe person to hide it, don't leak the news, I'll find a way to inquire, what's going on?"

As soon as Mrs. Li said this, the faces of the people present turned pale, and they all exclaimed in disbelief, "No, Madam, let's ...... Am I going to have my house raided? ”

The second lady of the Li family covered her mouth and exclaimed, and then everyone's faces turned pale!

"Aren't you arguing here for me?

This is what I think, you guys came to me to make a fuss, don't you just want to know if the second master's arrest will have something to do with the master?

Will our Li family be raided and questioned? ”

None of the people in the group dared to speak up.

"If you're really worried, do as I say, if not, don't cry here, go back to your own house for me, don't block me here!"

A group of people scatter birds and beasts.

"Li Bo will prepare a carriage for me, and I will go to the National Teacher's Mansion!"

Mrs. Li got into the carriage and walked towards the National Teacher's Mansion.

"Madame has arrived."

Li Bo knew that the stakes were high, and drove the carriage himself.

"Uncle Li, you take the master's post to the porter, and say that I have something important to see!"

Li Bo went, but returned in vain.

"Madam, the people in the National Teacher's Mansion avoid it, and they don't even want to accept our posts! How's that good? ”

"What do you say? The people of the National Teacher's Mansion avoided it? ”

"Yes, the people from the National Teacher's Mansion heard that it was the Li Mansion, and they directly waved our hands to let us go, saying that if we didn't leave, we would let the dog go!"

"The National Teacher's Mansion, it's too much to deceive people!"

Mrs. Li tugged at the handkerchief tightly, and the handkerchief in her hand was about to be torn.

"Li Yanyan, let's go, go to the school, let Li Yanyan speak for us, and take us to see the national teacher!"

Li Bo immediately turned the direction of the carriage and headed towards the school.

At the door of the school, the doorman who guarded the door heard that he was looking for Li Yanyan, and he didn't dare to slack off.

After all, this is the apprentice of the national teacher, and no one can afford to offend.

In the school, it was the time for the students to take a lunch break, and Li Yanyan heard that someone was looking for her and asked.

"Do you know who it is?"

"Say it's the eldest lady of the Li family!"

"Let's just say that I'm playing with the little county lord of Prince Yi's mansion, you can't get close to me to deliver the news!"

The little county lord of Prince Yi's mansion tilted his head suspiciously, "Yanyan, you lie, it's not good, my mother said that it is not a good child who can lie!" ”

Li Yanyan hurriedly explained, "What the master told me was that if someone from the Li family came to me, let me say this, I can't see it!" ”

The little county lord tilted his head in confusion and said, "Then isn't your master teaching you to deceive people?" ”

"I ...... I don't know anymore, anyway, I just need to listen to the master. ”

"Uh-huh! You have a point, listen to your master! ”

When Mrs. Li heard that Li Yanyan couldn't come out to see her, she crushed all her silver teeth.

"Let's go! Go home! ”

Mrs. Li returned to the house non-stop, and hurriedly walked towards the courtyard of Mrs. Li's family.

Since Li Yanyan and the national teacher went to Yunhang, the Li family has treated this family a lot worse.

Originally, the maids in their small courtyard were all for their family.

But now, the people in this courtyard are watching.

Especially staring at Mrs. Li, this Mrs. Li is a capable person, she relies on her granddaughter to be a little lucky star all day long, and she is heaven and earth all day long, she simply treats herself as the old feudal lord of the Li Mansion, and asks the eldest lady to do this and that.

So Mrs. Li used some means to make Mrs. Li's obedience obedient, and she didn't dare to go out of her yard door all day long, so she took care of her own son with a handful of and urine, as well as her daughter-in-law who was paralyzed and blind on the bed.

It's the end of the month, ask for a ticket to protect the list! Otherwise, you will have to eat the soil
