In the eighth year of Yuanheng in the previous dynasty, there was a fraud case in the field, and seventeen people including the chief examiner were executed.

Not only was he born in everyone, but he also had the grace of half a teacher with the emperor, but because he was involved, he was also escorted to the execution ground and beheaded on the spot.

Compared with Xiao Congbo, although the three of them are also important ministers, they are far inferior in terms of power and influence.

Such a person was involved in a fraud case, and they all died and couldn't die anymore, and they caught up with this matter, afraid that the whole family would be exiled for thousands of miles?

The three of them all felt a chill in their hearts, and hurriedly bowed: "The country is re-honored, how dare the ministers dare to forget their righteousness and sacrifice their lives?"

"I will live up to the emperor's trust, let this test go smoothly, and there will be no fraud. ”

When the emperor heard this, he nodded: "My advice is for the righteousness of all monarchs and ministers, and when Hugh is ruthless, it is unpredictable!"

With a wave of his hand, there was a book slip on the eunuch's silver plate, which was sealed by the cover, and the jade seal on the seal could be seen.

Although he can preside over the examination, it means that his knowledge and prestige have reached a certain level, and he can also prove that he is a noble civil official, and at the end of the year, he can form a good relationship with a scholar.

But the risks involved are no small either.

"It's our turn. Yu Qianzhi and the three of them all knew each other, nodded to each other outside the hall, no one spoke, and when they passed, another eunuch went in to communicate, Yu Qianzhi sighed lightly and said to Liu Zhan.

Liu Tan also sighed, what can I do, go in and admit my mistake, it just so happened that the little eunuch came out and invited them in.

Both of them were slightly distressed in their hearts, and after entering, they immediately apologized.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty. ”

"The minister is guilty. ”

"What are your crimes?" the emperor asked lightly, unhappy and angry, sitting behind the case at this time.

When Yu Qian heard this tone, he knew that the emperor was afraid that he was busy with the test just now, and he didn't know about the appearance of the demon.

It's just that they had lost once before, and after that time, the emperor was a little dissatisfied with them.

But this time, he still didn't dare to hide it, so he could only lower his head, tell the emperor about the demon appearing again, and casting spells with the help of the medium.

“...... Although I kept in mind the demon's qi and tracked it down several times, I never caught ......"

"Incompetent!"

The emperor's face was red and blue, and he suddenly became angry, swept off the folds on the case in front of him with one sleeve, and raised his voice: "The demon has disappeared, and if you can't find it, it's just that you have repeatedly appeared in the capital, and you haven't caught it yet!"

The folds were scattered all over the place, and the emperor Huo Di stood up, wandering back and forth angrily, and glared at the two of them angrily, so angry that he even lost his temper, and roared: "Usually everyone is a master, but I see that you have been played around by a demon!"

"You have the emperor's grace, how can you repay me?"

"Everything else can be put away, this thing must be caught, this is the culprit who framed the prince!"

After speaking, the emperor himself gasped and slapped the case again: "You must not be spared!"

It can be seen that he hates it fiercely.

When the emperor roared, although the two people below were all Taoist people, they couldn't help but turn pale and tremble, and they both lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, and did not speak.

When the emperor came to his senses in a rage, he suddenly felt that his body was weak, and he sat down on the chair and groaned: "My head hurts so much. ”

"Your Majesty!" was so startled that all the eunuchs "sighed" and surrounded him, only Zhao Gonggong saw the opportunity, and immediately took out the crystal bottle in his arms, took a sip of medicinal wine, and then fed it to the emperor.

The Emperor took a sip, and after a moment or so, gradually regained his color, and gasped heavily, looking haggard and tired, as if he had aged ten years, and said, "I am old...... Old ......"

He looked at the two of them again and asked, "Leave this matter alone, you can all look at your faces, come, raise your heads, and see how many days I have left." ”

"Tell the truth, and I will not blame. ”

Liu Zhan and Yu Qianzhi were ordered to raise their heads, their eyes fell on the emperor's face, Liu Zhan was serious and serious: "Your Majesty is ordered by heaven, how can the ministers snoop?"

Yu Qianzhi also agreed: "What Liu Zhenren said is true, Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, and you are not an extraordinary husband, how can you use the physiognomy of ordinary people to observe Your Majesty's life? This true dragon qi can not only deter demons and evils, but also disrupt physiognomy calculations. ”

"You ...... Timid and afraid......" The emperor waved his hand in disappointment: "That's it, since you can't see it, then forget it, you can retreat first." ”

"The ministers retired. The two said in unison.

Seeing that the two of them retreated, the hall was quiet, although there were palace maids and eunuchs, they all seemed to not exist, and stood quietly in the dark without saying a word.

The emperor couldn't help but sigh: "If Huaihui is here, he will not perfunctory me." ”

So he died, and was given death by You Yourself.

Liu Zhan and Yu Qianzhi, who have excellent ears, heard this sound outside the main hall, and the two glanced at each other, both saw the ridicule in their eyes, and then left without looking back.

Huaihui, calling such a kiss, wasn't he given to death by a glass of poisoned wine?

And this Xiao Huaihui and Xiao Zhenren, knowing that the wine given to him was poisonous wine, had to drink it.

It's sad!

Even Liu Zhan, who is usually loyal, doesn't want to be the second Xiao Huaihui, Xiao Huaihui was born in Tongshan Temple, and actually has some relationship with Liu Zhan.

When it comes to the talent of insight into the heavens, Liu Zhan is far inferior to this Daoist brother.

Also because of Xiao Huaihui's violent death, so that the Tongshan view of the pulse has been severely hit, seventeen years have passed, until now the Tongshan view has not eased this breath, forcing this generation of the view of the master Hui Dao, ordered the eternal destruction of the heavenly machine, so that the younger generations want to be a slave but can not get.

Now the emperor sighed like this!

It wasn't until they left the palace gate that the two breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at the palace gate, and their eyes touched.

Yu Qianzhi stretched out a hand and shook it slightly.

Liu Zhan compared it to six.

Come on, it's not five years, it's six years, and that's the last time.

The two of them are like students who have checked the answers after an exam, and found that they are not too much different from their calculations, and they are worried about each other.

"Alas, as soon as you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, which is a little inappropriate for you and me, but this entrance to the palace is as deep as the sea, but it is just right. ”

"You say, inside, if the emperor orders you and me to be taken down, how many guards do you want?"

"Guards, hmph, if you're inside, I see the eunuchs present, maybe they might take you and me. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, turned around and left, and in the main hall, Zhao Gonggong came out quietly again, and did not make a sound, only stood on one side with his head down.

The emperor on the dragon chair looked just like water at the moment, and there was no rage and hideousness, and there was even a faint hint of decadence, but Gonggong Zhao was familiar with the emperor, where could he not see that the emperor was not in much better mood at this moment than when he was angry just now.
