Xiao Yao nodded with a serious expression.

Although you can win money and have more empty positions in the six ministries, it is also imperative.

Even if we cannot eliminate all the power of Shangshu Qian in a short time, we must first get rid of a few prestigious ones, and make the following little soldiers without a leader and unable to gather together.

Qian Shangshu was indeed as Xiao Yao expected, and he secretly wrote a letter to Zhang Wei, the deputy general in the north, asking him not to attack. Once the emperor's order arrived, he would find a reason to avoid it and try to protect the soldiers in his hands.

Then, he asked about the fraud in the spring examination again. Seeing that everything was arranged properly, it could be said that it was foolproof, so he patiently waited for the arrival of the spring examination.

Wang Chenglai reported to Qian Shangshu Qian the losses caused to the Duke An Guo's faction by the six lazy governments, and said sarcastically: "The reckless man and the vain attempt who are not good at politics are fighting with the masters. I am truly fantastic!"

They don’t understand politics at all. They are not reckless, so they are incompetent. What qualifications do they have to fight with adults?

Qian Shangshu said lightly: "They will gradually understand this. If they don't understand, it is because we are not doing well enough that they don't know how to learn from it."

Wang Cheng laughed: "If they really don't know, we will work harder to let them understand this."

The spring exam is coming in a blink of an eye.

When Xiao Yao was postponing the spring examination, he considered that the weather was severely cold, and the students would perform abnormally or even get sick in the narrow examination room due to the cold, so he asked Pei Zhao to get a batch of supplies to Beijing in advance. At this time, he was killed.

People moved in and gave each of the students participating in the spring exam a cotton jacket.

This move caused the party of Qian Shangshu to ridicule as much as possible.

Wang Cheng said in a half-sarcastic and half-hearted tone: "The Queen Mother is kind-hearted, which is an advantage. But it would be difficult for her to think that she could sell the hearts of her children like Anjuying."

Another confidant of the Qian Party asked: "Do you want to add some cheat sheets to the cotton jacket so that we, the empress dowager, understand that people's hearts are sinister?"

Wang Cheng immediately said: "The person responsible for the inspection is ours. Even if there are cheats inside, we will be the ones who are unlucky."

Qian Shangshu nodded slightly: "Don't do too much useless work, nor do you be smart." After a pause, he laughed again, "Even if it really makes the empress dowager uncomfortable, there is no need to do it. The empress dowager is so naive, we must let her remain naive."

yes."

Such an ignorant woman in the deep palace could not have any trouble with them. There was no need to care about her, and there was no need to make her uncomfortable, because it made her uncomfortable, she might grow up and cause them trouble.

If you have the energy, it is better to think more about how to make Duke An Guo and Chengen Duke unable to recover.

All candidates entered the examination room after inspection and sat in their own seats.

The examination room was very narrow and wet, but it was not as cold as I imagined, because the students were wearing uniformly distributed cotton jackets, which was very warm.

In such warmth, the spring exam for several consecutive days passed quickly.

Qian Shangshu was in a good mood because everything went smoothly. Wang Yaoguang and others successfully cheated as they arranged.

After the spring exam, the students came out of the examination room one after another.

Unlike previous years, I fainted and fell into a cold area, this year there were only one or two picks who fainted due to nervousness, but they did not faint due to cold.

When the students walked out of the examination room, they looked back at the examination room and couldn't help but sigh to the people around them: "The cotton-padded jacket distributed by the Empress Dowager this time has really helped me a lot."

"It's the extreme, it's the extreme. The empress dowager is a woman. She is careful and knows what I need." Another nodded quickly.

At this moment, a disciple suddenly sneered beside him: "These are all poor and poor scholars who are inexperienced and down-and-out, but were actually subdued by a cotton jacket from a woman in the deep palace, which makes her laugh so hard!"

Another candidate immediately agreed: "The woman in the deep palace is ignorant and has no ability, so she thought she could win people's hearts with these small favors!"

Chen Hai, the former speaker, immediately shouted: "Wang Yaoguang, Chen She, how dare you discuss the Empress Dowager of the current dynasty?"

Wang Yaoguang immediately said seriously: "It's not true, it's not true. Someone is talking about giving a cotton jacket to the elder, not arguing about the empress dowager." After that, he threw the cotton jacket on Chen Hai, "I don't have any clothes to wear? I

This cotton jacket has never been worn before, but has only been wrapped for a few days, and it must be suitable for you. Hahahaha..."

He had received the instructions from his superiors and acted very cautiously, but after the exam, he knew that he would definitely be in high school and became a member of Qian Shangshu's school, so he became arrogant subconsciously.

Because I knew that Duke An Guo, Duke Chengen and Duke Jian'an were not opponents of Qian Shangshu, let alone the empress dowager in the deep palace, so I didn't take the empress dowager seriously at all. When I heard that I praised the empress dowager, I immediately

Sarcastic words.

Chen Hai was not aware of it for a moment, and was wrapped in his face by the cotton jacket. He was furious. With the help of his friends, he wanted to find Wang Yaoguang to argue, but saw Wang Yaoguang and a few stinky men laughing and being surrounded by servants.

Walked away.

Having no choice, Chen Hai threw the cotton jacket on the ground, stepped on it again, and then said tremblingly: "It's a shame, it's a shame!"

But Wang Yaoguang and Chen She knew that the current academic performance was stable, and they would like to please Shangshu Qian in the future. They would have a bright future, so they would be in a happy mood to eat and drink on the Jinghu Tower.

Xiao Yao didn't know about these things that happened outside the examination room. When Qian Shangshu and his wife were all focused on the imperial examination and the embarrassment of Duke An Guo, she secretly dispatched troops to prepare for the fraud in the imperial examination.

The marking begins, and the adults who participated in the marking are locked in a house and are marking the papers day and night.

When Wang Cheng paid a visit to Qian Shangshu, he secretly reported the situation: "Everything is as usual. Those who have written those strategies will be in high school."

Qian Shangshu stroked his beard and nodded: "Since it is normal, there is no need to report it all the time."

Wang Cheng nodded and immediately reported another thing: "Now many officials are inefficient in their work, so many decrees from the emperor and the empress dowager cannot be completed. Now the six ministries are secretly complaining that the emperor is useless, and it is more useful to find an adult if you have something to do.

”

When Qian Shangshu heard this, he was even happier and said modestly: "It's just someone else's love, you don't have to take it seriously." However, he showed a strong look of pride on his face.

This is why he is willing to join forces with Duke An and others to get Prime Minister Fang and Shangshu Wang down.

The two old guys left, and he had the final say in the court!

What emperor and empress dowager, what emperor and Duke Anguo Chengen Duke Jian'an Hou are not worthy of their name in front of him!

When Wang Cheng saw him, he flattered Qian Shangshu a few words, and then said goodbye and left.

In a few days, the Gongyuan announced the results.

Countless candidates were crowded at the gate of the tribute court, waiting to see the posted list.

Chen Hai said to a gentleman around him: "Brother Zishan, you must be ranked among the top with your talent. From Hai's perspective, Brother Zishan is undoubtedly ranked first."

Zhou Min waved her hand and said modestly: "I'm too much. Although I'm a little talented, I'm still the top student in the imperial examination. It's not necessarily the turn of the top of the list."

Another person smiled at another scholar and said, "Yes, Brother Zishan is ranked first, Brother Liu must be ranked second, Brother Congwen is third!"

"It's the extreme, it's the extreme!" The other candidates agreed.

Zhou Min, Liu Shi and Fang Wen are the most knowledgeable and talented among the imperial examination students today.

When the students recite poems or sing praises on weekdays, they all learned about the three of them, so they were very confident about this.

Even a few people think that Wang Yaoguang and Chen She were shining before the Spring Examination, and there was no objection to this. After all, Wang Yaoguang and Chen She were outstanding, but they were just outstanding, far less than Zhou Min and Liu Shihe.

Fang Wen and the other two were amazing.

While speaking, the tribute court was seriously polite.

The disciples and their book boys rushed forward in a hurry, some of whom were in front of him. After finding their names and friends, they cheered loudly. Some of them were just left at the bottom and helped to chant their names.

For a moment, the pre-gongyuan became a lively ocean.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "The current Ke Huiyuan is Jiang Hai Wang Yaoguang!"

After hearing this, Chen Hai and his wife changed their qualities and subconsciously looked at Zhou Min.

Zhou Min's handsome face instantly showed disappointment, but the next moment he packed up his expression and said with great grace: "I guess that Brother Wang did a great job of making a good decision this time."

At this time, someone shouted again: "The second place is Chen She, Chenliu County!"

"Third place, Tongling Wu Sen!"

Chen Hai's circle completely changed its color and showed an incredible look.

If only Zhou Min lost Huiyuan, it could be said that Zhou Min failed in the Jinke, but Zhou Min, Liu Shi and Fang Wen all failed and did not make it to the top three. This is really too

It's incredible!

Chen Hai frowned: "How is this possible? I have also read the articles of Wang Yaoguang and others. Although they are well written, they will definitely not surpass those of Brother Zishan and the other two."

After reading his ranking, Wang Yaoguang happened to walk past Chen Hai and others. He heard this and sneered: "What's impossible? A policy statement will be posted later. You can have a good time and learn."

He was born into a giant family and was used to using money to smash people. He spoke and acted quite vulgarly. Now he was proud and arrogant, so he naturally revealed his nature and no longer pretended to be a gentleman.

Seeing his arrogant appearance, Chen Hai was furious and gritted his teeth and said, "The villain is successful! He is full of stinking money!"

Wang Yaoguang hated others scolding him the most. He was furious when he heard this and pointed at Chen Hai and shouted, "What did you say?"

Chen Hai stood up straight and raised his neck: "You are full of money and you will be rampant when you succeed! How about it?"

"Shut up, you poor and sorrow... Come on, this poor and sorrowful Guang took Huiyuan and was criticizing Guang, come and teach them a lesson!" Wang Yaoguang immediately called on the guards around him.

The guards immediately surrounded them.

When Zhou Min saw this, he hurriedly grabbed Chen Hai, stepped forward and bowed to Wang Yaoguang, and said, "Brother Wang, this is the gate of the Gongyuan. Today is another day of the tribute, so it is really not appropriate to make a big deal. In my opinion, it is better for each person to take a step back?"

Chen She also secretly pulled Wang Yaoguang's sleeves.

Although they are already in high school, today there are candidates who are watching the list everywhere, causing trouble and annoyance to the top, so that their rankings are invalid or the quota is cancelled, so they have nowhere to cry.

It should be noted that Duke An Guo and Duke Chengen are now under the jurisdiction of Shangshu Qian in the court and are almost unable to turn around, and are worried that they will not find an opportunity to make a breakthrough.

Wang Yaoguang was pulled by Chen She. He remembered the orders from his superiors, barely suppressed his anger, and looked at Chen Hai coldly: "Let's spare you for the time being!" After saying that, he called someone to leave.

Zhou Min and Liu Shi and others went to check their rankings and found that the three of them were in the top ten, so they went to check the strategy for the top three.

After reading the three strategies that were very amazing, with great literary talent and reasonableness, Zhou Min, Liu Shi and Fang Wen knew that they were indeed inferior to each other, so they silently bowed to the same year and went back.

After Wang Yaoguang returned, he gritted his teeth: "Chen Hai is so poor and waited for me, I want him to stay in the capital!"
