"Are you making a fool of yourself?"

Zhao Chongyuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Isn't it very good for me to make a fool of yourself?" ”

Zhao Ding: "......"

There's no going on on with that.

Seeing that Zhao Ding didn't speak.

Zhao Chongyuan smiled and continued: "This time, you can come back alive, to be honest, this is something I never expected. ”

Is it really impossible to talk about this day?

Listening to his own Lao Tzu's words, Zhao Ding's face was uncomfortable.

What did you not expect me to come back alive?

If you dare to love me, shouldn't I come back alive?

"Do you know how many killers Xiao Daocheng laid on the way back?"

Zhao Chongyuan continued.

"Huh?"

Zhao Ding was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Chongyuan laughed and stretched out a slap: "Guang Zhen knows no less than five places, and they are all at the intersections you must pass along the way, so it is really fateful that you can come back alive." ”

"Is it possible that I'm a better skilled?"

Zhao Ding was a little angry.

"You're still a step ahead?"

Zhao Chongyuan sneered, looked at Zhao Ding with a mocking expression, and said, "Just count on those crossbow arrows that you carry with you the wrong ones?" Or do you count on the guards I gave you? Or the Xuanjia soldiers you shot? ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Zhao Chongyuan's words, Zhao Ding was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhao Chongyuan suspiciously: "You sent someone to follow me?" ”

Zhao Chongyuan laughed and said, "Send someone to follow you?" It's not as simple as sending someone to follow you, along the way, Xiao Daocheng has ambushed you, at least five times, and all of them are on the way back to Daqian, do you think you can come back safely, really rely on your so-called skills?

Is it that I have been sending people to protect you, otherwise, it will be up to you to change your clothes and drill into the mountains, and you will be able to escape from Beiliang?

You underestimate Xiao Dao too much. ”

Zhao Chongyuan looked at Zhao Ding with a smile.

"Forehead ........"

Zhao Ding didn't speak.

But a cold sweat rose in my heart.

Fortunately, his father made a move, otherwise, he would really have to explain where he was.

Seeing that Zhao Ding did not refute, Zhao Chongyuan smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, but did not continue to say anything.

Then he glanced at Wang Lishi.

The latter immediately took out a holy decree unexpectedly, and shouted in front of Zhao Ding: "King Yan takes the decree." ”

"The retainers take the order."

Zhao Ding immediately knelt down respectfully.

Play is playing, the holy decree has been moved out, and the etiquette that should be there must be still to be done honestly.

However, although he didn't see the content of the holy decree, Zhao Ding almost knew what it was.

I listened to Wang Lishi continue to shout sharply: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the ninth son of the emperor is stubborn and rude, when he was ordered to send an envoy to Beiliang, he did not respect the elders, did not respect the number of courtesies, angered the neighbors, caused the alliance between the two countries to collapse, trapped in my great cadre and the dilemma, specially demoted to the second class, for Youzhou Uncle, and was grounded in the palace for three years, not allowed to go out." ”

"What, three years of grounding?"

Listening to Zhao Ding in front of him, he didn't have anything to say, after all, he was expected to cut a knighthood, and it was already a good thing that he didn't directly send him to prison, but what does this three-year grounding mean?

Is this to suffocate him?

"What's wrong? Does this feel like three years is too short? ”

Seeing that Zhao Ding raised his head and wanted to speak, Zhao Chongyuan looked at Zhao Ding with a smile.

"No, it's nothing...."

Zhao Ding smiled.

"Do you want to add a little more?"

"That's it."

Zhao Ding's head shook like a rattle.

Three years of joking is long enough, and with another three years, he's not going to be crazy.

Although eighty percent of the past three years have been acting for outsiders, the question is when it will come out, and it depends on the mind of his father.

That's .....

Seeing that Zhao Ding didn't speak, Zhao Chongyuan said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then Lord Yan, let's go back to the house as soon as possible." ”

After speaking, Zhao Chongyuan also deliberately made a gesture of please.

Seeing that Zhao Ding wanted to scold his mother directly.

But when he thought that if he really had to scold, not only would he scold his grandmother, but he would also have a bad meal of shredded meat, and after thinking about it, Zhao Ding still closed his mouth in disdain.

Honestly, he followed the two Royal Forest Soldiers who had already walked in, and walked towards the outside of Kunning Palace.

Glancing at the back of this Yan Wangye leaving, and then secretly looking at the elusive smile on his majesty's face, Wang Lishi lowered his head and did not dare to interject.

"Lux, set up a study."

"Yes......"

Leaving Kunning Palace, Zhao Chongyuan came directly to Shang Shufang.

At this moment, in the Shang study, in addition to Yang Fu, Ye Liancheng, Zhou Shan and other two cabinet ministers had already learned from the mouth of the Son of Heaven that this son would go to Kunning Palace today, so it was not surprising.

As for what exactly happened inside the Kunning Palace.

They were also very interested and did not ask.

"Your Majesty, this is the report of all the officials of the Ministry of Officials this year on this year's "imperial examination". ”

Seeing Zhao Chongyuan sit down.

Zhou Shan immediately took out a book from his sleeve, bent down and handed it over respectfully, and said with a respectful expression: "The specific affairs of this year's imperial examination, the officials of all sizes in our ministry have almost prepared, a total of sixteen accompanying officials, the ministry has preliminarily drawn up, this is the list..."

After speaking, before Zhao Chongyuan could finish speaking, he took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Chongyuan: "These are two test questions prepared according to His Majesty's instructions, one is for the students of the previous Guozijian, and the other is for the test questions of those poor scholars after the expansion of the Guozijian presided over by His Royal Highness King Yan before, please look at them together." ”

Originally, according to the imperial examination system of the great cadres, only one test question only needs to be prepared, but the problem is that this year, the Guozijian has expanded its enrollment and absorbed many children from poor families.

In this way, if these children of the poor family and the children of the scholar clan are assessed together, it will naturally be more advantageous for the children of the scholar clan.

So the officials thought of two test questions, one for the scholars and the other for the poor.

That way, of course, it's fairer.

Zhao Chongyuan took the folds and looked at them carefully, and said lightly: "There is still a lack of an examiner?" ”

"Yes."

Zhou Shan said respectfully, "Originally, the chief examiner this time should be Xu Ying, but Xu Ying has been sick at home recently, and there are no other officials in the ministry who are suitable for this position except Xu Ying, so the position of chief examiner is vacant." ”

The so-called Xu Yingnai is the left waiter of the ministry.

Among the officials, his status is second only to Zhou Shan.

Although science and technology are important, and they are also related to the major events in the selection of officials in the next few years, it does not necessarily have to be led by the officials and the secretaries, after all, the officials and the officials have to coordinate the official management and examination of the entire senior officials, and the official affairs are heavy.

Therefore, the chief examiner of the imperial examination is generally one of the left and right attendants of the ruble.

Last time, it was the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials who presided over it, and this time it was the turn of Xu Ying, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials.

"Xu Ying is sick? Zhang Xuan just died? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Chongyuan pondered for a moment and muttered to himself.

Zhang Xuannai is the right attendant of the Ministry who presided over the last imperial examination.

"Who do you two think is suitable?"

After thinking for a while, Zhao Chongyuan raised his head and looked at Zhou Shan and Ye Liancheng and asked.

The two looked at each other.

Zhou Shan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, why don't you let Zhang Shiwei and Old Master Zhang preside over this imperial examination?" ”

"Master Zhang?"

Listening to Zhou Shan's words, Zhao Chongyuan was obviously stunned.

Zhang Shicheng and Zhang Fuzi have always been at odds with Zhou Shan, and because of Zhou Xing's incident, they are very stiff, and now Zhou Shan actually recommended Zhang Shiwei.

However, although he was surprised in his heart, Zhao Chongyuan didn't say anything, but looked at Ye Liancheng and said, "What do you think?" ”

"Weichen also thinks that Zhang Shiwei is the most suitable."

Ye Liancheng said respectfully.

Hearing this, Zhao Chongyuan's eyes suddenly showed a slight look, but it quickly disappeared, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then Master Zhang will preside over it." ”

However, as soon as this sentence was finished, Zhao Chongyuan continued to order: "However, this year's imperial examination will be accompanied by King Yan, just to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions." ”

"Yan Wang Escort?"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Liancheng and Zhou Shan suddenly looked at each other a little.
