Chapter 204: The palace test is over

The eunuch's voice sounded, and suddenly, the entire noisy Wenxian Hall immediately fell silent.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the eunuch, and they retreated to the sides, and then knelt down to show respect.

Hearing the voice of the eunuch's words, Su Qi'an and the three people above hurriedly stepped off the stage and bent over to receive the order.

The eunuch nodded, opened the decree, and the sharp voice sounded again.

"Regarding the matter of this palace examination, the widow is very clear, this matter is decided by the widow himself, three days later, the candidates and students present will be given a result, the three examiners do not need to dispute, this palace examination ends here."

"We'll take it."

The words on the holy decree were clean and neat, and there was no room for maneuver, and when the three of them saw this, they could only bow their heads and receive the decree.

After the decree was delivered, the eunuch turned and left.

The atmosphere in the hall was a lot quieter all of a sudden, and these candidates who were kneeling on the ground got up one after another, looking at each other, but none of them made a sound.

This palace examination turned out to be so big that even His Majesty came forward, which they didn't expect, at this time, the holy decree was issued, and His Majesty intervened, and they, the candidates, dared to say anything.

After a while, Zheng Guogong raised his head, looked at the candidates in the hall, and said loudly, "Okay, today's matter is up to Your Majesty, so everyone should step down."

"The student quits."

Countless students nodded their heads, clasped their fists and saluted, and left the hall one after another.

Huang Wenyan stood in place, looking at Su Qi'an in front of him with a worried face, he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know how to say it.

He was a little sharper than the others, and he could feel a trace of helplessness in Su Qi's peace of mind.

I wanted to take this opportunity to make decisions for their poor students, but I didn't expect that now, His Majesty will intervene and directly abandon all the achievements.

This kind of blow is not small in his heart, he sighed, knowing that this is not the right opportunity, before leaving, he took a deep look at Su Qi'an, hoping that Mr. Su, whom he respected, could figure it out, and then left with his companions.

In the hall, there was a little effort, and many candidates and students were basically gone, leaving only Su Qi'an.

At this time, Zheng Guogong turned around, looked at Su Qi'an, who had a calm face, leaned up, and said softly.

"Uncle Dongshan, it's a pity, you want to take advantage of this palace test to do a big job, but you can't imagine that the real manipulator of the palace test is not us Yipingong."

"The palace examination is not as simple as you see, the imperial examination that has been perfected for hundreds of years, if it is so easy for you to overturn, it will not be our face."

"Uncle Higashiyama, give you a reminder, sometimes don't be too self-righteous, in Daliang, especially in Kyoto, if you lack anyone, it won't have the slightest impact."

"You're doing it for yourself."

Zheng Guogong sneered, and then strode away from the Wenxian Palace.

Regarding Zheng Guogong's ridicule, Su Qi'an's face was still expressionless.

Wang Zhenshan, who was beside him, looked at this scene, patted Su Qi'an's shoulder, and sighed.

"Xiao Su, although I don't like Zheng Yuan very much, what he said is indeed the truth, I understand your thoughts, but the palace test is indeed complicated, and the forces of all parties are intertwined, it is very good that you can do this."

"There's no need to be discouraged, as for Zheng Yuan, there is no need to worry, with Your Majesty's appreciation of you, you will not be punished for this matter."

"And after your trouble, the old man believes that this palace test will definitely be affected to some extent, there will be some compromises, and your efforts will still be effective."

Listening to Wang Zhenshan's relief, Su Qi'an nodded and said, "Qi An understands that this matter is indeed something I didn't think through, but I just did my best, and I don't want to participate in the rest."

"Xiao Su, you?" Wang Zhenshan is not an ordinary person, and he can see the thoughts in Su Qi'an's heart at a glance.

"Hehe, Elder Wang, don't worry, Qi Anke lost his confidence before he was attacked several times."

"I have done my best to become the chief examiner of this palace examination, as for the result, it is not important, next, I plan to say goodbye to Your Majesty and Master Wen

Okay, leave Kyoto and take a good look at the various places in Daliang."

"You... Well, that's right, Kyoto is really not suitable for you, going out for a walk, it will be more helpful for you, if you come to the northwest of the old man in the future, you must talk to the old man, and the old man will definitely entertain you well, we will drink and talk, and you will not return if you are not drunk."

"That's nature." Su Qi'an said with a smile.

Looking at Su Qi'an's face, Wang Zhenshan nodded, and then strode away from Wenxian Palace.

He could feel that this palace test was indeed somewhat unfair to Su Qi'an.

After all, it was a good thing to be valued by His Majesty and let him serve as the chief examiner of this palace examination, but as a result, Su Qi'an was like a chess piece being played, and whoever was replaced by this would feel aggrieved.

Not to mention a talent like Su Qi'an, it's good if you didn't go crazy on the spot.

Wang Zhenshan is a rough man, and he doesn't quite understand His Majesty's attitude towards Su Qi'an.

Praise first and then fight, this ambiguous attitude made Su Qi'an sad, which is normal.

Su Qi'an wants to run away, Wang Zhenshan can also understand, sometimes it is not a bad thing to think about leaving Kyoto early, the big cold is big, trapped in one place, it is really not good for Su Qi'an's development.

Seeing Wang Zhenshan leave, Su Qi'an's eyes retracted, and most of Wang Zhenshan's thoughts were in line with Su Qi'an's mood.

But there is one thing, he guessed wrong, Su Qi'an was not disheartened because of the suppression of Su Xuanyong, so he temporarily resigned from Kyoto.

He had this plan early in the morning, originally he thought that he would study in the Hanlin Academy for a while, and he felt that the days were almost the same, so he wanted to leave.

But I didn't expect that a Qiu Yu palace exam was inserted halfway, and even more involved him, so I had no choice but to accept the position of chief examiner of the palace exam.

Now that the palace examination is over, Su Qi'an can just take advantage of the so-called grievances he has borne to leave Kyoto.

Kyoto is a place of right and wrong, and staying with these royal families and powerful families, thinking about intrigue every day, it is better to go to various places in Daliang and be at ease.

Of course, it is impossible to say that Su Qi'an is not a little disappointed in this majesty.

This kind of emperor's technique, Su Qi'an has always stayed away, and even sneered, staying by the side of this kind of emperor is only bad for Su Qi'an, not good.

It is the right way to simply quit and go away and silently develop your own power.

With the return of the eunuch, the affairs in the Wenxian Hall have come to an end.

But the dispute in the rear hall has just begun.

The reason is also very simple, Su Xuanyong's holy decree was issued to stop the chaos of the palace test, but there was no punishment for Su Qi'an's trouble.

This made Zhao and Chen a little dissatisfied, but they were not stupid, and they would not be stupid enough to attack Su Xuanyong directly.

Instead, he criticized the Hanlin Academy in a roundabout way, and was so indulgent and generous to Su Qi'an.

This time aroused Wenxuan's dissatisfaction, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

On the surface, it is aimed at the so-called lax discipline of the Hanlin Academy, but in fact, it is an attack on Su Qi'an.

Even though Wen Xuan is good-tempered, he is also the dean of the Hanlin Academy, so criticism is not a slap in the face.

If he can still remain indifferent, he, the dean, will not do it.

"Two princes, are your hands stretched a little too long, the old man is not dead, what, it is really easy to bully when the Hanlin Academy."

"Hey, don't get excited, Master Wen, I'm also thinking about the future of the Hanlin Academy, although Uncle Dongshan is the personal inheritance of Master Wen, but you can't blindly spoil it, look at today's matter, if it's not Your Majesty, our Uncle Dongshan, but it will be completely upside down."

"It's true that he is the number one talent, but this emotional intelligence is too low, it is completely pampered and arrogant, and it is beneficial to give some suppression, in the long run."

"You're farting! The old man still said the same thing, the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, it is not your turn to intervene, if Zhao Guogong is really idle, he should still take care of the affairs of his own house, otherwise something will really happen one day, don't blame the old man for not reminding you."

Wenxuan directly burst into foul language, being able to make such a gaffe for one person, which is here in Wenxuan

Rare.

But Wen Xuan's words did have some effect on Zhao Guogong, as if he stepped on his sore spot.

Zhao Guogong's face was gloomy, and he scolded angrily, "Master Wen, what nonsense are you talking about, you..."

Zhao Guogong's angry rebuke, just halfway through speaking, was directly interrupted by Su Xuanyong.

Su Xuanyong's face was serious, and he looked coldly at the two people arguing in the audience, and reprimanded.

"Okay, all shut up for the widows, one is a first-class national prince," the other is a leader in the literary world, arguing about a trivial matter like this, it is really a shame for the widow."

"The widow has said that this is the end of the matter, and Hugh will continue to quarrel."

"Master Wen, the widow knows that Dongshan Bo is your personal inheritance, and you protect the calf and the widow understands, but as the dean of the Hanlin Academy and the leader of the literary world, you are so out of shape today, you have lost your identity, and the widow ordered you to be grounded in the Hanlin Academy for three days, and you have thought about it."

"Zhao Guogong, Chen Guogong, the widow knows what you think, Dongshan Bo is a royal family, and he is more talented, there are some things, you better not interfere, if you are discovered by the widow, weigh the consequences of this matter, you two will also be closed for three days."

Su Xuanyong directly punished both sides with "fifty boards", which made both sides immediately silent.

The silence in the hall made Su Xuanyong sigh, waved his hand, and said softly.

"Alright, the widow is tired, so you all stand down."

"Feng Ling, you stay, press the widow's head."

"The old minister retired."

"The child is gone."

Soon, everyone here, except for the ninth princess, the rest of the people left one after another.

When everyone walked away, Su Xuanyong's voice sounded softly, "Feng Ling, do you think that there are some things that my father has done is a little unkind."

"Well, my daughter thinks this is a little bad for Mr. Su." The ninth princess was silent for a while and said bluntly. Look at the book

For this answer, Su Xuanyong was not angry, but chuckled.

"You are the only one who dares to be so straightforward in front of your father, unlike your brothers, who are too fake and can only say something nice."

The ninth princess smiled, did not answer, and gently pressed the sides of Su Xuanyong's head with her fingers.

The tense nerves in his mind were soothed, and Su Xuanyong continued.

"Okay, Feng Ling, I have time to talk to Uncle Dongshan, let him dissipate his anger, the widow knows that he has been wronged, but with his intelligence, he should understand the widow's intentions."
