Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 134 Convenience

bank note.

Mo Shucheng, who threw the scroll, had an extremely ugly expression on his face. He pressed the edge of the table, gasping for breath, his chest rising and falling with the panting movements. He calmed down for a long time before he tremblingly grabbed the second scroll. .

When twisting the scroll, Mo Shucheng's hands were shaking involuntarily. It took him a long time to twist a small wooden stick before he opened it.

The hidden compartment was opened, and Mo Shucheng didn't dare to look at the things hidden in it immediately. He drooped his eyebrows and took several deep breaths before he could lift his eyelids slightly.

Like the first scroll, there is still a stack of bank notes.

Another banknote...

Mo Shucheng couldn't help shivering, the scroll in his hand fell to the ground immediately, and the small wooden cylinder rolled out a few feet, and stopped right beside Jie Si Nian.

Seeing this, the young man in elegant Tsing Yi leaned over and picked up the two small wooden tubes discarded by Mo Shucheng with ease, with a very calm tone: "Your Highness, why are you so flustered?"

"Si Nian, what do you mean?" Mo Shucheng's face turned black. After all, he is also a serious prince raised by Tian's parents. When he saw these two stacks of silver bills with a denomination of one thousand taels, how could he not be able to guess those two? Scholar mean?
It's just that he didn't understand, Xie Sinian obviously knew the existence of this bank note - he knew they wanted to bribe, so how could he bring these two public documents to him?
"Your Highness, you asked the question again knowingly." The corners of Xie Sinian's lips twitched slightly, with a warm smile, "These two presented this item to His Highness, naturally to make it easier for you."

"It's convenient? What's the convenience of finding this hall?" Mo Shucheng raised his eyebrows suddenly, and patted the case with anger and resentment, "It's convenient to go to Chao Ling, why should you find this hall!"

It is not uncommon to bribe officials in charge of examinations like this. Although he doesn't pay much attention to scientific examinations, he has heard of them a little bit, but just because he has heard of them doesn't mean that he wants to get involved--once the cheating in scientific examinations is found out, then But felony!
Xie Sinian's face didn't change when he heard the words, he just looked at Mo Shucheng with a smile, and asked lightly, "Your Highness, what do you think?"

In previous years, all the examiners who graded the test papers were the main examiners, and all they needed to do in the supplementary exams were to scribble their names, transcribe the papers, and help sort out the list.

But this year, Emperor Yunjing wanted to train the prince who took over the auxiliary examination, so he specifically ordered Mo Shucheng to review the papers with the chief examiner. Chao Ling had read the papers once, and he needed to read them again.

Only when the two of them reach a consensus, can the grade of the answer sheet be truly determined. If the two disagree, another assistant exam will be asked to decide again.

Therefore, those candidates who want to go through this back door, of course, can't just look for Chao Ling.

"But isn't this cheating?!" Mo Shucheng clenched his fists. He wanted to have his own place in the court as soon as possible, but he never thought of getting involved in such cheating!
"Of course it's cheating." Xie Sinian's smile faded, and his expression turned serious, "But Your Highness, do you think that you can really stand alone after being involved in scientific research?"

Mo Shucheng turned his face: "What do you mean?"

"If you notice Lord Chao's abnormality on the day of examination, will you report it to His Majesty, or pretend to ignore it?" Xie Sinian raised his chin.

"This hall... This hall is naturally..." Mo Shucheng hoarse, and he found himself unable to answer at this point.

If it was reported to Emperor Yun Jing, he would definitely order a thorough investigation of the matter, but scientific examination fraud is a serious disease of the past dynasties, it did not happen overnight, and the benefits involved are so wide that he can't even imagine.

If he had become this "pioneer", although he would be rewarded by Emperor Yunjing for a while, what would follow would be overt and covert rejection by the courtiers——

The world is bustling, all come for the benefit, and the world is bustling, all go for the benefit.

He has touched the interests of others, how can they tolerate him?

But if he turns a blind eye to it...

So what's the difference between being a partner?
The difference may be that not only does he not get any benefit, but he also has to worry about it with them.

Mo Shucheng gritted his teeth, the current situation was almost incomprehensible, but he really didn't want to get involved in their fraud.

He exhaled, his nails left several marks on his palm, and his heart became a mess.

"Your Highness, you might as well think about it differently right now." Seeing Mo Shucheng's shaken face, Xie Sinian softened his tone slightly, "This may not be a great opportunity."

"Chance?"

"Yes, think about it, if you really want to set foot in the official | field, how can you keep your hands clean?" Xie Sinian said, "When the water is clear, there will be no fish. If you want to stand in it, you have to There are some 'handles' that can be grasped."

"The upright officials are naturally high-spirited and upright, but look, how many people who are too high and aloof have survived to the end?"

"Furthermore, these two people are indeed in line with your path, and they are not the kind of people who have no real talent and learning. They can find Mr. Chao and you because they are Confucian scholars who are now in power, and Taoism is not obvious."

"The two are worried about being unfair when correcting the files... This may not be called 'fraud'." Xie Sinian was persuasive, "Besides, what they are looking for is not the top three, they only need a small 'Jinshi background'. "

"Except for the top three, isn't the ranking of the rest of the rankings a matter of the examiner's thought?"

"In the end, since the two of them found Your Highness, they must have thought of making friends with you." Up to this point, Xie Sinian lightly clapped his hands, "Two new scholars with no foundation...Your Highness, this is for you." A unique opportunity to intervene in the DPRK."

"Now or never."

"That's true, but I always feel..." Mo Shucheng hesitated. He always felt that something was inappropriate, but he really couldn't tell what it was inappropriate.

"It's not like this, Your Highness." Xie Sinian's tone paused slightly, "You can make a divination, and if the divination shows good luck, then accept these bank notes."

"If you see an evil hexagram, then Si Nian will step in and reject Mr. Chao for you."

"Your Highness, what do you think?"

Divination...

Mo Shucheng pursed his lips, his mind that had been so excited was cleared up for a moment, and he subconsciously grabbed the lottery on the table.

After all, what Xie Sinian said was right, if he wanted to gain a foothold in the muddy water of the court, with his current ability, it was impossible for him to be alone.

He's not that great.

"Then... do the math." Mo Shucheng clenched his teeth, and almost failed to grasp the bamboo tube a few times.

"Your Highness, please." Xie Sinian narrowed his eyes, raised his hand in a "please" gesture, curled his fingers in his sleeves slightly, and a smile of unknown meaning gradually appeared in his dark pupils.

"Okay..." Mo Shucheng nodded, grabbed the bamboo tube and turned it up and down several times, until a bamboo stick fell to the ground with a crisp "pop".

"Si Nian, help me take a look." Mo Shucheng closed his eyes, not daring to bend down to pick up the bamboo stick.

Xie Sinian responded to the sound, took two steps forward to pick up the stick, turned his hands over to look, and smiled slowly.

"Your Highness, No.30 nine lottery, good luck."

　In fact, what Xie Sinian said was not all lies
　　But Mo Shucheng himself wavered
　　is the biggest problem
　　Ok
