Zhumen Hangui

There was a lot of rumors outside, and even the examiners of this township examination were very impressed with Su Yizhao.

They were all observing the movement secretly, even Cao Jincheng was no exception.

Cao Jincheng has always paid close attention to Su Yizhao, but he only read one of Su Yizhao's articles at that time, and he was not qualified to check the others.

But he was very optimistic about Su Yizhao's literary talents, but he didn't expect the situation to develop like this.

It's not that he can't see that this is a game between the two sides, but he is quite disgusted by putting the two children on the fire.

Su Yizhao had just implemented the plan, but Lin Jiaoyu's side was in dire straits.

He sat upright in front of the round table, stretched out his hand to lift off the red cloth covering, and saw a small tray in front of him.A golden light shone, almost blinding his eyes.

Twelve gold ingots, ten in total, converted into 1000 taels of silver, were neatly stacked on the tray.

The gold ingot is round and small, and under the candlelight, it emits a dazzling light.

Taking a deep breath, he had never seen so much gold in his life.

After teaching in the Confucianism Center for so many years, the family balance does not even exceed 400 taels.

He stroked these gold ingots with trembling fingers, as long as he promised to keep silent, they were all his.

But he has been incorruptible for so many years, and now he is over half a century old. Is it possible that he should abandon his conscience for these yellow and white things?Where is the pride of the literati?
Sitting at the table, he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Dong dong dong!" There was a sudden knock on the door.

Lin Jiaoyu covered the red cloth again, "What's the matter?"

"Master, someone has sent a secret letter!" The follower outside the door lowered his voice.

Lin Jiaoyu frowned, and after he read the secret letter, he suddenly trembled and then trembled.

Within two days, the wind of the rumors changed again and again, and the matter became complicated and confusing.

But everyone was very enthusiastic about this matter, there was a lot of discussion in the prefecture, and the rumors were flying everywhere, and even spread to other nearby prefectures, even the fourth prince and others who had just arrived in Lindai Mansion received the news.

At this time, some candidates raised objections, suggesting to read Su Yizhao's original paper, otherwise how to rule out the suspicion of cheating?And how can these candidates rest assured that there are no omissions in their grades?
For a while, the city was full of wind and rain, all of which were doubts about the government.

"It seems that Beiyuan Mansion is very lively! This matter is a bit strange, Ze Ming! Why don't we join in the fun? Anyway, there are still some days before the wedding ceremony!" The fourth prince said to Zong Zeming enthusiastically.

A trace of unclear emotion flashed in Zong Zeming's eyes, and he nodded, "This matter is related to fraud in the imperial examination. The emperor has always attached great importance to it. You really shouldn't just sit idly by."

After the two discussed, they planned to go to Beiyuan Mansion.

"Great Elder! This matter should have been done by the Su family. Why do you think the Su family did this?"

Meng Shunlin was a little puzzled, wouldn't it be more detrimental to Su Yizhao?There are rumors outside that Su Yizhao has earned his fame in vain.

Anyway, the evaluation is mixed, and it is spreading everywhere.

The Great Elder shook his head, "You should be asking Su Yizhao why he did this?"

Meng Shunlin was very surprised, "You mean, these are all done by Su Yizhao himself?"

"Su Wenqing didn't come back with me at all for this township test. If it was Su Wenqing's idea last time, what about this time? Or do you think it was the idea of ​​those old guys from the Su family these two times?"

As the elder said, he snorted coldly.

"If they had such brains, they wouldn't have been doing nothing for so many years."

"How can he have such a strategy at such a young age? Are you flattering him too much?"

Meng Shunlin felt that the elder was too arbitrary, no matter how capable a child was, he didn't think he could have such a plan?

The Great Elder took a look at Meng Shunlin, why didn't he realize that this clan nephew had such little knowledge before?
"Actually, it's not hard to guess his intention for this move. It's just doing the opposite. It's an opportunity for him to make a big fuss about this matter, and even go straight to the heavens. He can also take the opportunity to help the deployment in the capital." I was caught off guard and interrupted our plan."

The Great Elder said with a long sigh, "Such a talent is not in our Meng family. This son is very bold in his actions, but his thoughts are extremely delicate, and he is no worse than those cunning and calculating."

Meng Shunlin suddenly realized, "It's this trick again, it's trying to confuse the water."

"The trick is not afraid of old age, as long as it is useful. He dared to act like this alone. He is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers! Now let's look at the capital, I hope they move faster."

"Su Yizhao understands the importance of taking the lead, but let's be one step ahead of him, and it depends on how he can turn things around."

On the other side of the capital, there has indeed been a change.

At the court meeting, the chief assistant E Chongming twitched his right foot towards the ground, and Lin Song, the censor of the right capital, who was lined up behind him, his eyes darkened when he saw this.

He moved slightly, and took a step with his right foot.

"Report to the emperor! I have something to report!"

Lin Song looked at the officials who came out in astonishment, and after a while, he retracted the right foot he had just raised.

"Su Aiqing, please tell me!" The emperor saw that it was Su Jinxun, and his face softened.

For the boss, the emperor has always respected him very much.

What's more, Su Jinxun will be retiring in just two years. Even though his performance is mediocre, he has never made a mistake.

E Chongming narrowed his eyes, and then his face changed slightly.

"Your Majesty, this time the grandson of my minister went back to his ancestral hometown and won the No. 2 exam." Su Jinxun said.

The emperor was taken aback when he heard the words, he was a little confused, but he still smiled and said: "Haha! Su Aiqing was born as a Jinshi back then, and your grandson must also be talented and intelligent, and he has all your true inheritance!"

All the officials in court twitched the corners of their mouths. What does this mean?Your grandson has to take the Juren test and have to bring it to the court meeting?
Who doesn't have a Juren?Even if you pass the Jinshi examination, no one will bring it to the court meeting.

No. 2?Everyone snorted in their hearts, you showing off?
Su Jinxun was not happy when he heard the words, but sighed, raised his hem and knelt down.

The emperor was even more confused, "What is Su Aiqing doing? Your grandson passed the provincial examination, which is a happy event!"

"I am ashamed of myself! This time, my grandson won No. 2 in the provincial examination. I am really ashamed." Su Jinxun sighed, and then fell to the ground.

Everyone couldn't help but rolled their eyes, ashamed to win No.2?Shouldn't the first be ashamed to die?

This old man ran to the court to show off.

The emperor didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What? Could it be that he is the head of the county trial case?"

No.2 is still not satisfied, is this too strict?The emperor was very moved, and also a little bit interested.

"Exactly!" Su Jinxun said solemnly.

"Oh? Then it must be someone who is very talented and has the ability to move around? How old is the family and how old is it?"

Every day is government affairs, which makes people have a splitting headache. The emperor suddenly became interested, and suddenly wanted to chat about family affairs.

"My name is Su Yizhao, I'm seventeen in my family, and I'm fourteen this year."

Everyone is a little impatient, is this chattering?This old man, his grandson has just become a Juren, and he is in a hurry to pave the way?
