"Then ......" Erhei, the sweater, lost his voice and said: "That has to pierce the sky!" ”

"This has also been a bad rule for many years, and those big people in the DPRK and China have all tested this to cultivate cronies. And these strips are definitely not only for the adult's family, maybe it's just a part, "Wu Wei on the side was also frightened, I don't know where his lord's loyalty and sense of justice came from, but this is the rhythm of poking the hornet's nest!" Hurriedly persuaded him to dispel this idea and said: "When the time comes, the adults will have to offend the government and the opposition miserably!" ”

"Hehe......" Wang Xian smiled and diverted the topic: "I'm just joking." ”

"My lord, this kind of joke is not to be made." Wu Wei and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly wiped their sweat and said, "There will be deaths." ”

"Okay, okay, let's get busy, how can this official be the kind of person who doesn't know the severity." Wang Xian waved his hand, not letting the two of them go any further, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, it is estimated that this official may have to leave for a while." ”

The two nodded, convinced. Those big people can't be targeted, since the strip is handed to the adult, the adult is going to have something to do with this meeting, so naturally he has to prepare early.

Wang Xian pondered for a moment, made a series of arrangements in his absence, and when the two of them took the order, his heart did not settle down, but became heavier...... He found that once he was gone, the entire Beizhen Fusi would be in an unguarded state, and no one would be able to resist Ji Gang's obscenity! Are they allowed to destroy their own business? No, absolutely not!

After pondering in the dark for a while, Wang Xian finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Prepare the horse!" ”

"It's so late, where are you going?" Zhou Yong asked softly while ordering people to prepare horses.

"Go to Zhu Liu's house!".

In that room, Zhu Liuye had already fallen asleep, and when he heard the housekeeper's words, he couldn't help but say helplessly: "Is this guy a night owl?" Every time, the third watch in the middle of the night comes to call the door. Having said that, he quickly got up in his clothes and went to the front hall to meet Wang Xian.

"I'm sorry, I've disturbed the sixth master's dream again." Wang Xian's posture was very low this time.

"Hehe, I haven't slept when I'm old, so I don't have to worry about sleeping for a while." Zhu Liuye said with a smile: "It's really hard for adults to rest in the middle of the night." ”

"I'm ashamed, the sixth master still calls me brother......" Wang Xian sighed, looked at Zhu Liu through the light, and found that his complexion was much better than a few days ago. How is the sixth master lately? ”

"Since I unloaded the errand of Beizhen Fusi, I am unofficial and light, go to bed early and get up early every day to practice, and enjoy the joy of family, such a day is really not changed for a fairy." Zhu Liuye said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I have to thank Brother Wang for taking over my mess." Said Zhengse: "I've heard about what my brother has done recently, it's all things I want to do but don't dare to do over the years, and it's really a hero from ancient times, this courage is really admirable!" ”

"I was also forced to be helpless, if I didn't take advantage of the three fires of the new official to take office, I made up my mind to plow the court and sweep the holes at the beginning, and I couldn't do it if I wanted to." Wang Xian smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that the road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high, I'm afraid that I will be transferred away from the mountain." ”

"How?" Zhu Liuye said with a grim expression.

"Very likely, I'm going to enter the Tribute Academy." Wang Xian sighed.

"...... like this" Zhu Liuye frowned and said: "There is really no one in Beizhen Fusi who can stand up, and neither can Lao Jiu." ”

"Yes." Wang Xian said earnestly: "So I'm here to ask the sixth master to help and see if there is a way to survive this time." ”

"This ......" Zhu Liuye was puzzled: "It's not that I don't want to help, it's really that even if I'm still in Beizhen Fusi, it's not enough." ”

"Can the sixth master ask the fourth master for a favor?" Wang Xian said softly.

"My fourth brother ......" Zhu Liuye didn't expect Wang Xian's idea, thinking about it, he felt that he still had to help Wang Xian, otherwise the previous investment would be in vain. On the contrary, if he helps this time, no matter what the effect is, Wang Xian will have to admit his feelings. But after thinking about it, whether it can be done is another matter: "If Ji Dudu is not here, his words can still work, but if Ji Dudu is here, I am afraid it will not work." Saying that, he sighed: "And my fourth brother may not dare to offend Ji Gang." ”

"You don't need the fourth master to come forward, just find a way to delay it for a few days and wait for me to come out." Wang Xian is really out of line, he left Zhu Liu's side, and the next stop is Zhang Niangniang's younger brother Zhang Yong's side, and now he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, hoping that this governor can see Zhang Niangniang's face and help himself. Saying that, he got up and saluted: "I will not forget the kindness of the fourth master and the sixth master in the coming day!" ”

"My lord doesn't have to be like this," Zhu Liuye hurriedly turned sideways to accept his salute, and said, "In this way, I will go to my fourth brother early tomorrow morning to discuss and see if I can talk about him." "If it weren't for the head-on conflict with Ji Gang, just a delay, Zhu Siye would still be able to do it. Moreover, he and Zhu Jiu had already boarded Wang Xian's ship, and it was not impossible for his fourth brother to help. "Why didn't my brother come to Qingshou Temple to ask for help?"

"Hey, my teacher doesn't care about these mundane things." Wang Xian knew very well that when it was not a matter of life and death, Yao Guangxiao, the old monk, would not make a move, so he didn't think about him at all.

"That's right." Zhu Liuye nodded and said, "Okay, brother, let's go to the Tribute Courtyard with peace of mind, I will do my best to do things outside." "As for the outcome, I can only leave it to fate......

"Thank you Sixth Master for your help!" Wang Xian saluted again......

Early the next morning, a decree came from the palace, ordering Wang Xian to enter the palace quickly. Wang Xian estimated that the emperor summoned him either for Qi Dazhu's case, or for the sake of the test. When he rushed to Beiyuan and waited outside the Yitian Hall to be summoned, he knew that it was the latter. Because he saw that more than forty civil and military officials were waiting there, judging from his not very sufficient experience of face saints, everyone should have been called by the emperor for the same thing, and it must not be for Qi Dazhu's case.

Sure enough, after a while, the eunuch ordered them to go in, and after seeing the emperor's peace, a group of civil and military personnel saw that there were still Jinyi Guard Governor Ji Gang and Rite Ministry Shangshu Lu Zhen standing in front of the emperor.

As soon as Zhu Di spoke, all the civil and military officials knew what the emperor asked them to do, and it turned out to be a curtain official who would take the test. According to the regulations of the imperial court, the examination officials during the examination are divided into internal curtain officials and external curtain officials, collectively known as curtain officials. The reason why it is called the curtain official is because there is a door after entering the public hall, adding a curtain to separate it, and entering the curtain after entering the curtain, which is called the inner curtain, and the outside of the curtain is the outer curtain. The chief examiner and the same examiner are in the inner curtain, and their main duties are to mark the papers. His assistants are internal promotion and other officials, who are in charge of managing examination papers and other matters, and are also in the internal curtain. The number of people in the outer curtain is much larger, and they are the officials of the prison, the external promotion, the supervision of the examination, the receiving, the transcription, and the supply. The officers of the outer curtain manage the affairs of the examination room.

At this time, the chief examiner of the examination had already lived in the Tribute Courtyard for several days, but the rest of the candidates for the internal and external curtain officials had not been announced until this moment. However, Wang Xian knew that the candidates had been prepared as early as yesterday, and only in this way could he explain what was going on with those strips......

After the emperor finished speaking, Lu Zhen announced the appointment, Ji Gang was the chief examiner, and the rest of the officials had their own appointments, as for Wang Xian, he was assigned an errand of an inspector to take charge of the examination room and discipline matters. Wang Xian secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, he thought he had missed the Spring Festival, but he didn't expect to participate in this way. But he was not excited at all about the fate of thousands of lifters, but a thick dark cloud hung over his heart...... Because this means that he will be locked up in the Gongyuan for more than ten days, and during these more than ten days, he will be completely isolated from the outside world, what if Ji Gang's people take the opportunity to counterattack? And that's just a certainty!

He even felt that eighty percent of his name was added by Ji Gang, thinking of this, he glanced at Ji Dudu, who was standing on the right hand side of the emperor, and saw that Ji Gang was also looking at him coldly, his eyes were full of sneers of cat and mouse......

After thinking wildly, he saw the emperor stand up, Wang Xian was busy calming down, and listened to Zhu Di's deep voice: "You should know that the imperial examination is a great ceremony for the country's talents, which is related to the selection of talents, the prosperity of the country and the stability of the society, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the top priority of the Ming Dynasty." You are all officials with good reputations, and you are also my trusted courtiers, if this is not the case, how can I be willing to hand over the responsibility of the national talent selection ceremony to you, do you know what to do?! ”

"The ministers must strictly abide by the law and not cross the thunder pool by half a step!" All the civilians and soldiers hurriedly said in unison.

"It's enough to just take half a step beyond the thunder pool?" Zhu Di was not satisfied with this answer, and said in a stern voice: "No, it's far from enough!" You have to stare at the eyes and find out all the scum who are trying to cheat! Let my talent selection ceremony really select a group of talents for the country, so that the rats with bad intentions have nowhere to escape, so that they can be considered competent! ”

"Obey the teachings!" The ministers hurriedly bowed their heads and were taught.

"Go ahead!" Zhu Di waved his sleeves and didn't say anything more.

Wang Xian followed the other officials to bow down and receive the decree and withdrew from the Yitian Palace. Outside the hall, Ji Gang turned around, and all the officials immediately stood still, waiting for the instructions of the director. Ji Gang saw that Wang Xian was also honestly listening, so he said in a deep voice with satisfaction: "As the emperor instructed, the ceremony of selecting talents is a matter of the country's society, and whether this Spring Festival can be held fairly depends on whether you uphold a public heart, do not cross the thunder pond by half a step, and do not let go of any fraudster!" After a pause, his eyes swept coldly over the curtain officials, and said murderously: "This official said ugly things in front, if anyone dares to cheat for personal gain, he will wait to live in the edict for the rest of his life!" ”

The officials had already made the emperor's face pale, but at this moment, they were even more silent, and they all obeyed. Ji Gang was very satisfied with the effect of what he said, and said with a slightly soothing expression: "According to the regulations, you can't go home, and when you leave the palace, you will live in the tribute courtyard with the official, and as for your bedding items, there will be soldiers to your home to pick them up!" This was the meaning of the title, and everyone naturally had no objections, so they followed Ji Dudu out of Beiyuan, boarded several carriages waiting there, and went in the direction of Gongyuan.
