After the candidates entered the examination room, they each had a room according to the number of the number house. There was a military officer guarding the house outside the number house. The 1,600 military officers were used for 800 military officers. Emperor Zhaowu's determination can be seen.

When the candidates sit in the hall, Khon Kyung and Lee Guangyuan preach the examination rules at the same time: Each exam is based on morning and evening. The candidates must hand in the papers at dusk. If they are not completed, three candles will be given, and after the candle is extinguished, they will be helped out. During this period, the lectures and questions are prohibited, eating, sleeping, and even drowning are carried out in a small room less than five feet. They will be released only after the three tests in three days.

After explaining these, he explained the content of the three exams as usual. After all, the world was still full of wars. Therefore, Emperor Zhaowu did not value beautiful articles, but emphasized real talent and real learning. Although he also took three exams, he did not have the previous dynasty's "Mo Yi" and "Postals" that rely solely on rote memorization.

The first exam of history theory was a total of five questions. Emperor Zhaowu took out five paragraphs from Confucian classics such as "The Zuo Zhuan of the Spring and Autumn Period", including one paragraph about recruitment, alliance, conquest, marriage and funeral, and usurpation. He asked the candidates to write five historical theories to explain their views on these issues. Each article is five hundred words, and at most no more than fifty words. This is to avoid the candidates' nonsense in confusion. This test is the ability of the candidates to understand and think about problems.

The second test of strategy theory is also five questions. Emperor Zhaowu found five internal and external affairs, which may be a major event like aligning the strategy, or a minor event like prefectures and counties, so he asked the candidates to make five policy arguments, ordered them to analyze the reasons and propose countermeasures. The same is 500 words per article. This tests the students' ability to analyze and solve problems.

The third scene is the title of the Three and Four Books, and a propositional poem, which uses it to examine the students' knowledge and knowledge.

At this time, the Four Books and Five Classics have not been raised to a deformed level, and they are more knowledgeable and versatile. If they are admitted to the exams in detail, they can really select talents with outstanding intelligence for the country.

After the lecture was over, Qin Lei announced in a deep voice: "The first exam will begin." The examiner of the 18th Room sent the test papers with ink fragrance and began the first "Five Historical Discussions" exam.

The students took the test paper with nervous hands and saw the orthodox historical facts such as "Zi Chan is in power, and there is something to do with Boshi". It is not no wonder that most people breathed a sigh of relief and bowed their heads to conceive.

However, there were also many pale and sweaty people who took advantage of the surveillance of the soldiers, either tore open the interlayer of the cotton jacket or untied the bellyband to take out the carefully hidden cheat sheet. They took out the cheat sheet with just one look and had dry mouth, tinnitus, and dizzy eyes, and almost fainted... The first question in the cheat sheet was "Qi Duke is exempted, ask for the ugly father". What is "Zi Chan for the government"?

I took a peek at all the five questions, but I couldn't find where the brother Zichan was. I looked at the test paper in a hurry and trembled. None of them was the same as the one on the cheat sheet. "I'm fooled!" It was like a bolt from the blue, which shocked these guys who thought they were trapped and fainted a few. Naturally, I alarmed the surveillance soldiers and found the cheat sheet, and put them out, and kept them away without mentioning them.

Looking at the candidates who were dragged out from time to time, Qin Lei frowned without any notice. His original intention was to hold a stable and peaceful competition. Although he was like Emperor Zhaowu and was preparing to give justice to most people, he did not want to hold the cheaters accountable. It was like King Zhuang of Chu's "Juying Ying Banquet", which would make those who attempted to take advantage of the difficulties. Everyone would not lose face and would meet in the future.

However, the scene is completely out of control. A group of imperial guards, like wolves and tigers, took over the original invigilator's errands, completely merciless, completely ignorant, completely... making himself unable to control, but also made Qin Lei completely understand what it means to be like a king's heart and be unpredictable.

‘No wonder the boss ran away from home, and the two male and female were mentally perverted. This old guy was a bit amazing.’ Qin Lei couldn’t help but complain. Emperor Zhaowu’s style of "taking everyone as a chess piece" and only asking the result in everything and ignoring others’ feelings is the most disliked by Qin Lei.

I also thought of yesterday when Emperor Zhaowu held his hands affectionately: "My country is your country." It seems that it is just a nonsense, with no other meaning, but Qin Yutian is self-indulgent.

He turned around with his hands behind his back and saw the little fat man sleeping soundly at his desk. Qin Lei couldn't help but laugh and said, "I fell asleep less than two quarters of an hour after the exam. I wonder how to survive the thirty-six hours in these three days?" He did not alarm the little fat man and walked forward gently.

Seeing Li Sihai's next door, Qin Lei's eyes suddenly became wide open. There was Wen Mingren sitting here. Qin Lei was extremely surprised, but when he saw him lowering his head and thinking hard, he had to leave quietly, and shouted in his heart that strangeness... It is said that Wen Yanbo was capturing this rebellious son everywhere, but he didn't expect that he would go to the tribute court in a noble way and sat next door with Li Sihai. Who would believe it if there was nothing wrong with it?

After the inspection, it was already late. I didn't sleep for a night last night. Even though I was so tired, Qin Lei returned to the main examination room behind the court. He was about to enter the door to rest for an hour or two, but an examination officer came up to report the attendance of the candidates today.

With a lip silence, Qin Lei still led him into the house and said while washing his face: "Tell me."

The official cleared his throat and explained the situation to Qin Lei: There were 1,706 candidates in the spring exam, and there were actually 1,701. Among them, 217 candidates who had cheats entered the venue because of their identity inconsistent, were eliminated, and 1,418 people actually took the exam.

Of the five absentees, four of them have claimed sick leave to the supervisor, and one of them is still unknown.

After listening to the report from the examination officer, Qin Lei smiled and said, "There are still unknown people, which candidate?"

"It's from Zhongdu." The examination officer looked at the record and replied respectfully: "Shen Zilan, a student of the Imperial College Examination Supervision."

Qin Lei laughed and said, "It's still from the Imperial College, I don't come to take the exam so close..." Suddenly, he looked aside and asked in a deep voice: "What's his name?"

This examiner was temporarily transferred by Emperor Zhaowu from another place. He didn't know what the person was. He heard this and said in a low voice: "Shen Zilan..."

Qin Lei's brows frowned tightly. He knew that the Shen family's cousin took the exam. Sizhuo owed the Shen family a lot of kindness, and just took this opportunity to repay a little. He planned to use a request to point it into a single armor when Emperor Zhaowu finally reviewed. Although this was not said to Shen Jiaming, in order to make the old man relieved, he had already sent Shi Gan to visit Mr. Shen a few days ago and sent a pot of crabapple flowers. With the old man's wisdom, he naturally understood that Qin Lei had promised the "Tanhua" to Shen Zilan.

So Qin Lei thought that even if Shen Zilan was so ill that she couldn't get up, the Shen family would carry him over. As long as he could barely finish the test, he would be a first-class Tanhua. Why not do it?

But this kid didn't come and did not ask for leave from the supervisor. This is called absent from the exam for no reason. The consequence is that the identity of a juren is captured and no further exams are allowed for ten years.

"Prince, look..." The examiner saw that Qin Lei did not speak for a long time, so he had to ask carefully.

Qin Lei came to his senses this time, laughed dryly, and said to the examiner: "Maybe he was seriously ill and could not get up, or maybe he could not get rid of his body when he met a bad person. In short, it is not easy for students. If you and I have a thought, there will be no way out in their lives. You should forgive others and forgive others."

The examiner was not a serious person. He said respectfully: "The prince is kind and does not hurt you." After saying that, he hooked up Shen Zilan's name and said softly: "Then you must prepare it in the Supervisor's Office to avoid criticizing people in the future and having a bad future."

Qin Lei nodded and smiled, "This matter is left to the orphans, you can go and do it." The examiner bowed and retreated. Qin Lei's expression suddenly collapsed, and he cursed fiercely: "Boy, let's see how I deal with you!"

"Boy, let's see how I deal with you!" Chen Wei said viciously outside the Imperial College Gate. He already knew that Shen Zilan was missing the exam, so he was naturally very annoyed. This tremor lasted for three years. What's going on? How could Qin Lei come to the exam firmly this time?

And the young master who made the two angry was leisurely boating on the river, leaning against the green and red, which was really happy.

This is a painting boat with ordinary appearance and extremely luxurious interior. The walls are carved with exquisite patterns from precious agarwood, and the ground is covered with thick Persian carpets... Speaking of which, this precious carpet that has been extinct in Middle Earth for more than 200 years suddenly appeared in the Taozhu Street Zhenwan Store last winter. There were only two in total, one was bought by the Taiwei Mansion and the other was bought by the inner mansion.

When you look at every object in the cabin, you are extremely luxurious and prosperous. Without any marking, you can be sure that you all come from Shangbaojian, the inner palace. Who can move these emperors to the inner palace to the treasures as if they were to their own warehouses? Of course, they are the people in charge of the inner palace, who is in charge of the inner palace? Of course, they are the crown prince.

"This apple sweet wine is really good, just in line with my taste." The man opposite Shen Zilan said, his voice as gentle as Hetian jade.

It seems that there is only one man who can be called this palace in Daqin, the Crown Prince of Daqin. But I don’t know how this prince, who should be studying at home, could get together with Shen Zilan?

"It's good that the prince likes it. Although this thing is rare, the Shen family can use it at will." Shen Zilan took a bite of the banana handed over by the woman next to him, and said with a depressed look on his face: "Thinking about our encounter, it's really unfair!"

The prince smiled and said, "It's all fate, but there is a saying that 'The peach and plum blossoms in the East Garden will grow out early and then fade away first; the pine trees on the stream are depressed and green in the evening." If the twelve Ganluo is the prime minister, who would have died at the thirteenth; and if Lu Shang was eighty fishing, who would have known that he could be the prime minister?" This is also the famous sayings and quotes that inspired him in daily life, so it is particularly smooth to talk about. Just to compare the 'pine trees on the stream' and 'Jiang Ziya' to describe this playboy, he also needs the courage to vomit at any time.

Shen Zilan really enjoyed it very much. He smiled happily after hearing this, "It's still the prince's knowledgeable. I feel so nervous when you say it."

The prince thought to himself: "I'm so disgusting after saying so many disgusting words." But this guy is a very important person, and he still needs to suppress his temperament and coax him a little.

Seeing that the prince smiled and said nothing, Shen Zilan only said that he was humble and didn't care. After eating the wine for a while, he suddenly said nervously: "Brother Prince, why do you think I will explain this matter today?"

The prince took a sip of sweet wine and smiled gently, "Don't worry, my brother, the Shen family dare not do anything to you. At most, it's just bluffing and scaring you."

Shen Zilan scratched her head and said, "But being scolded is also a painful thing."

The prince narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled, "Silly boy, brother, I have been the prince for seven years. I have summarized my experience. Do you want to listen?"

Shen Zilan said interested: "Look attentively."

"Children who know how to make trouble have candy, but honest children have nothing to eat." The prince's eyes were filled with cold light, and he said quietly: "Brother, I was too honest, so I was squeezed into this by a group of brothers."

Shen Zilan was not a stupid person, so he naturally understood what the prince meant. He held a jade hand tightly and murmured, "Not a word?"

"You can teach me." The prince nodded and smiled, "From now on, you have to make trouble, the bigger the trouble, the better, and then someone will naturally give you candy." As he said, he looked at the direction of the inner palace and sneered, "There will be a steady stream of sugar, which will make you tired of it."

Shen Zilan was so upset that he said, and said tightly, "Brother Prince, what benefits do you think I can get?"

Qin Ting smiled confidently and said, "Ninety percent of them are joining the Imperial Guard, and Quan is appointed as the rank of lieutenant."

Shen Zilan said in surprise: "Have you received the news?"

The prince enjoyed this surprise very much. He put down the silver cup in his hand and smiled and said, "No need to get any news, this is inevitable." He looked at him with a sincere face and said, "This is what I meant to ask you to finish the exam."

Shen Zilan said with a 'ah': "Didn't you tell me to announce my existence?"

The prince smiled and said, "This is one aspect, and there is another very important reason - you have to tell others that you don't like literary affairs. Some people will naturally think: 'Don't like literary affairs? Then try nothing.' And Shen Wei has a high prestige in the Imperial Guard. If you are asked to join the ranks, the Imperial Guard will be the only choice."

Listening to the prince's analysis of peeling off his cocoons, Shen Zilan couldn't help but exclaim: "The prince is really far-scheming, so amazing."

Seeing that Shen Zilan had completely entered the alley, the prince smiled slightly, picked up a piece of five-spice smoked venison from the plate, savored it carefully, and thought to himself: "The fruits of victory will always be so fragrant."

Shen Zilan kept his head mumbling for a long time, and suddenly said with a little concern: "What if someone says I am insatiable?"

The prince looked at him in surprise and said to himself: 'It's not a fool.' But he wanted that effect, so he naturally couldn't make Shen Zilan think too much. Then he said with a deep pain: "Think about your sacrifice, even if you are a king, you can't fully compensate you, so no one dares to blame you..." As he said that, he pretended to be cool and pursed his lips and said, "Even if someone blames you, it will only make you pity for you, and give you more candy... Why not do it?"

Shen Zilan was moved, and clenched the woman's little hand beside her, gritted her teeth and said, "Zhong, I'll go back and make trouble!" The woman's face turned pale in pain, but she didn't dare to scream. However, he was impatient. After saying that, he pushed the two women who were snuggling with him away and bowed to the prince, "I'll go back and make trouble now."

The prince nodded and smiled, "It's true that it's time to get the deeper family courtyard in Shen, and I don't know when it will be heard by others." After that, he got up and saw Shen Zilan boarding the boat and leaving, then turned around and returned to the cabin, smiling at the peony screen, "Everything is in control."

A person flashed behind the screen, and he was pale and thin, and at first glance there was nothing special. Only a pair of dark eyes flashed like a poisonous snake, revealing the anger and hatred in his heart. It turned out to be Wen Mingyi, the eldest man of the Wen family who was said to have been exiled to Dongdu.

"Why don't you do it yourself? If you do it, the effect will be much more obvious." Wen Mingyi said a little annoyed.

The prince looked at him with a little disgust and snorted coldly: "I have my own arrangements, even your master can't take care of it." He waved his sleeves and said, "You are not here, so hurry up and go back to your master."

Hearing the word "master", Wen Mingyi's mouth twitched, but he finally forced himself to endure it and said expressionlessly: "I rushed back from Dongdu, thousands of miles away, and sent such precious information. You can't treat it like this... Princess." I was about to say "me", but when I spoke, I changed it to "princess", and suddenly a question filled with indignation turned into a fox and a tiger's power.
