Only then can I clearly see that the piece of paper only contains words such as how many pieces of large, medium and small cotton-padded clothes will be divided into, and how to distribute them to students.

The student's face was already pale.

Liu Qinghan said calmly: "What is written above is just what Master Yue recorded at will."

"..."

"You didn't bring the cheat sheet, which has just been searched; the test paper was destroyed by me, and everyone has seen it; the paper written on this paper is not the answer, and I also know it."

"..."

"It's just that I really want to know how you knew in advance that the test question this time was 'the wrong intention will lead to death' without even seeing the test paper."

The student could no longer stand still. He staggered back two steps and hit the wall. He looked like a puppet with its strings cut off and slumped down.

Liu Qinghan smiled coldly, handed the piece of paper to the person behind him, and ordered the clerk: "This candidate must be written down in detail. When the emperor asks in the future, you are all witnesses and cannot be denied.

."

"Yes."

When he turned around and walked out of the examination booth, he accidentally bumped into Ouyang Yu. At this time, this man had completely lost his previous arrogance and aggressiveness. The strings holding him as a puppet seemed to have been broken. He was bumped by Liu Qinghan.

, everyone was stunned and leaned against the wall, speechless.

Liu Qinghan asked the people next to him to come up and help him, and then turned to look at me.

I had been standing aside calmly. When I met his sharp gaze, I felt a little heavy and forced a smile.

He also smiled.

Heavy snow fell from the sky, making the whole world look pink and jade, but even this color could not hide some filthy things.

This time, an inspection of the examination room revealed a dozen candidates who were involved in fraud. Although they were thought to be scholars and were not shackles, being escorted out by people from the Duwei Mansion was considered a cleansing act. Many people in the capital knew this.

Something happened during the imperial examination this time. Everyone gathered at the gate of Gongyuan. As soon as they saw these people being taken out, they all criticized and cursed them so much that they couldn't hold their heads up.

Liu Qinghan stood aside and watched coldly. At this time, I supported Fu Badai and walked slowly over.

As soon as he saw Fu Badai, he immediately turned around and saluted respectfully: "Teacher."

Fu Badai snorted and said, "You are so impressive. After a good imperial examination, you made everything miserable."

Liu Qinghan chuckled.

With this smile, the solemn and solemn look seemed to disappear all of a sudden, with a sense of naivety. Fu Badai seemed even more angry, and said coldly: "You were in Xishan, and you didn't learn anything else.

How come you learned 100% of what I did to catch my students?"

Liu Qinghan bowed to him respectfully: "Teacher, did you teach well?"

Fu Badai originally had a fierce face, but when he heard what he said, he couldn't help laughing and shook his head. I kept standing by and watching the two of them, not in the mood to say anything else, so I laughed in agreement.

sound.

Fu Badai smiled, stretched out his hand to point at him, and said: "Those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. The ancients will never deceive me!"

At this time, there was another rapid sound of horse hooves outside, and several Yulin guards came in to clear the way. When I looked up, I saw a few guards following Eunuch Yu in a hurry. A few of us and other officials hurriedly came up

In front of the door, I saw Eunuch Yu holding a brocade box with a seal on it, saying: "The emperor knows the details of today's examination room, and the fraud case will be severely investigated. However, this scientific examination is very important."

Candidates have been in the cold window for ten years and there must be no delay. The emperor has already drawn up new examination questions. The princes will immediately restore order in the examination room and start the examination again."

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

All the officials shouted in unison and returned to their posts one after another to appease the students. Eunuch Yu stepped forward and handed the brocade box to Fu Badai, then turned around and returned to the palace. Before leaving, he asked me: "Master Yue hasn't returned to the palace yet.

?Explain the matter here to the Emperor and the Queen."

I looked back and said with a smile: "There are still some unfinished matters here. I will return to the palace immediately after I have finished handling them."

"Okay."

I saw Eunuch Yu off, and the first drumbeat had already sounded in the examination room on the other side. Liu Qinghan and I were not originally members of the examination room, so we were politely invited out by someone sent by Fu Badai. When we went out, we saw

There were many people gathered at the door. When they saw us, they all commented:

"Aren't these two the ones who were at the teahouse just now?"

"It seems that they discovered the fraud in the examination room..."

"Those people really deserve it. If they are really allowed to cheat, other candidates will be wronged."

"Yes, these two adults are really amazing!"

After hearing these words and enduring the approving looks from around me, he and I looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

The snow was falling even harder, but even with the cold wind blowing, I didn’t feel too cold. The guard next to me handed over an oil paper umbrella. As soon as I held it up, I saw the person next to me leading his horse.

As he took the reins, I suddenly said: "Are you interested in seeing the snow scene?"

He looked back at me in astonishment, speechless for a moment, then turned to look at the snowy sky around him.

The onlookers at the gate of the Gongyuan had been asked to leave and dispersed. After a while, heavy snow fell and the ground was covered with a thick layer of white velvet. Before the eyes, there was a patchwork of pink makeup and jade, which was so peaceful and moving.

He was silent for a while, smiled and nodded.

This time, he and I were really relaxed. We walked slowly on the snow around the examination room. The three rows of clear footprints behind us also gave off a somewhat peaceful atmosphere.

The two of them never spoke.

However, it does not seem awkward. Maybe because I have just experienced a shock, the silence now makes people feel very comfortable. But I do have a lot of things in my heart that I want to say to him. After thinking about it for a long time, I quietly

Said: "By the way, do you know what the emperor's new test questions are this time?"

He turned to look at me, didn't say anything, just smiled.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

I also understand.

Recalling the flash of light in Pei Yuanhao's eyes when he opened the test questions he presented, I seemed to have understood something. That's why when Chang Qing asked me if the test questions had been finalized, I gave an ambiguous answer.<

/p>

He and Pei Yuanhao have already made arrangements.

He led the horse and walked forward while saying: "Master also said that it is more appropriate to use my test questions this time. Although... it is a bit radical, but the current situation is like this, the emperor needs to use thunderous means to have any chance of winning.

."

The so-called extraordinary times require extraordinary measures.

I smiled and nodded.

At this time, he turned to look at me again: "That piece of paper, was it arranged by the queen or the grand master?"

I said: "Aren't they all the same?"

He thought about it and smiled himself, saying: "What's rare is that you can actually recognize him among hundreds of students. No wonder the teacher said that you can recite ten lines with one glance."

I smiled faintly: "This is all I have left."

Although he was teasing me, he didn't smile. He just turned his head and looked at me.

Ever since Chang Qing mentioned Grand Master Chang in her speech last time, I have noticed that there have been some actions on the Grand Master's side. After all, Shen Gongye is so unscrupulous, and Chang Qing has no children, and only one Nian Shen is by her side, Grand Master.

It is impossible to really leave no way out for his daughter; in addition, he was also a veteran of the Sanchao, with a sharp eye, he saw the trends of the court, and of course he had to take action.

In this way, the "Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu" above the court was officially formed.

The first step was that since Shen Gongyi wanted to take the opportunity of this scientific examination to release people into the imperial court and enhance his own strength, Grand Master Chang would definitely cut off his path; and they also found out that this time Shen Gongyi

This disciple of mine does have some knowledge. Unlike other stupid ones who need to bring cheat sheets to pass the test, he must have already memorized an article in his mind. In this way, he will not be able to catch what he is doing.<

/p>

Therefore, using an insignificant piece of paper to force him to reveal his true colors is a bit risky, but it is still a good strategy. The most important thing is that in the end, he cannot rely on me, Yue Qingying, nor the Queen.

The second step is the people placed by the officials of the Sixth Department——

I turned to look at him, and he seemed to know what I was thinking, and said slowly: "You must also know that Taifu Shen has very deep connections among the six tribes. If the time comes to discuss the establishment of a prince in the future, the six tribes will

Officials will also play a big role. If we don't take advantage of this time to weaken the Taifu's power, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to control in the future."

In fact, I had already had a feeling since I just searched the examination room, and it was only now that I really said it - "This time the fraud in the imperial examination is actually your method. It has two purposes, one is to select talents, and the other is to weaken your connections?

”

"Yes."

Liu Qinghan nodded and said: "These candidates were all planted by officials from the Sixth Department. It involves fraud in the examination room. The emperor will not tolerate it this time. As long as the investigation is carried out strictly, the people behind the scenes will be implicated. Although the emperor will appreciate their hard work and merit."

, We will not punish these old ministers, but there will be legitimate reasons to 'grant' them to resign and return to their fields. In this way——"

"In this way, there will be a lot of positions in the six departments, waiting for them!"

"Yes. This is also the reason why the emperor will accept the questions I proposed this time as the imperial examination questions."

This time the imperial examination is more than just a cover-up. Since ancient times, many humeral ministers have walked up the ladder through this road. The people Pei Yuanhao needs will be promoted from here, but he wants to promote

, is someone who really needs it!

Looking back on this step by step, I really thought about it very carefully, but——

"Taifu Shen probably stole the questions for this imperial examination while he was in the Imperial Study Room, but what about the officials of the Six Ministries? If it was really Taifu Shen who gave it to them, they should have been prepared a long time ago, and there is no need to rush it now.

Bring in the cheat sheet."

"..."

"The examiner this time is Master Fu, so of course they can't get the questions from him."

"..."

"So, it was probably today that someone leaked the test questions to them, and it was at Yuchun Tea House."

"..."

"But, what is it-"
