For so many years, the reason why the emperor tolerated the He family was just that he was worried that he would force them, and a group of people would collaborate with the enemy and betray the country or rise up, so that Dayan's gunpowder smoke would rise again.

When he was young, he was a decisive and strategic person, but now that he is older, he still acts vigorously, but he is not as radical as when he was young.

The forces of the DPRK and China are playing for the next emperor, and only a few of His Majesty's henchmen and ministers know that the real candidate for the crown prince of the Holy Lord today is the fifth prince with an unknown background.

The He family has produced two queens, and it has become a chronic disease of Dayan, and now the saint has planned for half his life in order to get rid of the He family, so he naturally does not want a strong relative force to appear in Dayan.

Before getting rid of the He family, these Ling Feiluan could only rot to the stomach.

As the princes got older, the He family began to be unable to sit still. The last time he and Wang Qianhu were in the Gu, there was a shadow of the He family behind him.

If Shu Ange hadn't appeared in time, he might not have been able to survive this difficulty.

The horror of Gu insects, the more Ling Feiluan knew, the more frightened he became, the He family's evil intentions were chilling.

"Xiu'er, you go back first, I'm going back. This time is a bit busy, there may not be time to see you, you have to take care of yourself. ”

Ling Feiluan touched Shu Ange's hair and personally sent her to the carriage.

In the following days, Shu Ange put all his thoughts on the spring festival. The examination is presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the examination venue is the Ministry of Rites in the capital.

In order to allow candidates to meet the inspection in the best condition, the general examination starts from February, and is tested every three days, which are the 9th, 12th, and 15th of February.

Just after the New Year, everyone has not yet withdrawn from the joy of the New Year, the spring is close at hand, and the scholars in the capital gather to read Lang Lang, and there is a posture of grinding guns and not being happy.

Gu Wenbin has been studying hard for more than ten years, in order to be the title of the gold list, and he has almost forgotten to read books during this time.

Shu Ange was afraid that he would be too tired and his eyes would be tired and his body would be exhausted, so he specially boiled a medicine to calm his nerves, and at the same time persuaded him to relax and have a strong body for the exam.

In the spring, the weather is warm and cold, and people who are not strong in the body may not be able to survive the exam if they get the wind cold.

Gu Wenbin was originally also an anxious person, but he had the vision of winning the Toad Palace in his heart, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

After a long talk with Shu Ange, he adjusted his mood and met the exam in the best state.

Because of Ling Feiluan's advice, Shu Ange and Gu Wenbin didn't go out much during this period. King Rong Xiaojun wanted to find the two of them unlucky, but he was stared at by Jinyiwei, and he had no chance to start, so he could only wait for the opportunity with hatred.

In the blink of an eye, the ninth day of the second month arrived, and when Gu Wenbin took the exam, Shu Ange and Ye Niangzi worked together to ensure the logistics and prepared food and warm clothes for him.

After the first exam, Shu Ange and Ye Niangzi waited for Gu Wenbin to appear on the sidelines.

With a smile on his face and a ruddy complexion, he walked out of the examination room with steady steps, in stark contrast to the candidate next to him who was pale and staggering.

"Mother, Xiu'er, let's go home."

Gu Wenbin didn't say how he did in the exam, and Shu Ange didn't ask, the exam wasn't over yet, and it was easy to disturb the mind when he asked the other party how he felt at this time.

What's more, today's imperial examinations are mostly subjective test questions such as examination and strategy, and there are no standard answers, and few candidates can be sure that they can get the examiner's blue eye.

After the end of the examination, Gu Wenbin politely refused the invitations of many candidates like a person who had nothing to do, and spent a leisurely life studying behind closed doors.

In a family of three, Ye Niangzi is probably the one who is most worried about Gu Wenbin's exam results. She didn't force her son to go to high school, but she was afraid that he would not be able to think about it if he fell off the list.

Sensing Ye Niangzi's thoughts, Shu Ange cooked a table of good dishes, and chatted with his brother about many future plans to comfort Ye Niangzi's heart.

The purpose of the brother and sister is to let Ye Niangzi know that even if she falls off the list this time, Gu Wenbin will not give up on himself because of this.

Half a month has passed, and the Ministry of Rites has posted a list of candidates selected for the palace examination in anticipation.

Shu Ange and his mother's brother rushed to see the list as soon as possible, and Gu Wenbin was on the list, which made the three of them very excited.

Those who are admitted to the entrance examination are called Gongshi, one level higher than Xiucai and one level lower than Jinshi.

Gu Wenbin has the identity of a tribute, and the most unhappy people are probably Gu Youling and Pan Sheng, the king of Rongjun.

Pan Sheng originally wanted to find someone to clean up Gu Wenbin under the meeting, breaking his dream of being the champion, but he didn't find a chance under the intervention of Jin Yiwei.

Now that Gu Wenbin has passed the exam, he will participate in the palace exam in April to meet Tianyan, no matter how bold Pan Sheng is, he does not dare to move Gu Wenbin at this time.

Now Pan Sheng can only hope that Gu Wenbin's palace will fail the list, so that he can let his father and mother clean up Gu Wenbin for him.

After the exam, many candidates have been a little carried away, busy socializing and contemplating the scene of their high school champions.

There are also many candidates who are busy visiting officials from their hometowns, and want to expand their contacts before the palace examination, so that they can take care of them when they become officials in the future.

Gu Wenbin received many invitations, such as the Township Association, the Tongzhou Association, the Yalan Society Meeting, and so on.

He politely declined many invitations to gatherings, sneaked into reading and writing, and sent his ideas to the famous teachers he had visited before for comment.

But all the famous Confucians have some cherishing talents. Although Gu Wenbin was poor, he was talented and dignified, so after receiving his strategies, the Great Confucian gave him a lot of guidance.

The exciting palace test arrived, Shu Ange understood in advance, the palace test only tested the policy question, the test taker entered the palace at dawn, and after the roll call, scattered papers, praise, salute and other etiquette, the unified policy questions were issued.

When Gu Wenbin entered the palace to participate in the palace examination, Shu Ange and Ye Niangzi waited diligently at home, Ye Niangzi was anxious, and Shu Ange was also a little worried.

This is a palace exam, only once in three years, as long as you win the top three, you can be famous all over the world.

After the palace exam, Gu Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief, he was very confident in his answer sheet, so many years of hard work in the cold window were not in vain, and this time he could at least rank second.

As for the Toad Palace, after getting acquainted with many amazing and brilliant fellow Gongshi, Gu Wenbin was not as confident as before.

He has already decided in his heart that no matter whether he can win the top three or not, he must seek justice for his mother.

Now that Gu Kangshi has been suspended, he wants to seize this opportunity to make it difficult for him to recover.

Even if this may make him lose his reputation for unfilial piety and affect his career, he will tear off the hypocrisy of Gu Kangshi in public.

At the beginning of the lanterns, Shu Ange and Ye Niangzi were in the alley, quietly waiting for Gu Wenbin with wind lanterns.

When he got out of the carriage, the two men hurried up to meet him.

"Wen Bin, are you hungry, my mother and your sister have prepared snacks and soup."

Ye Niangzi opened her mouth with a smile, and the first sentence was to care about Gu Wenbin's body.
