Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 234 Grab it and take it away!

The young man in Chinese clothes fell to his knees in a trance with a dazed expression. Old Madam Xiao who was standing beside him looked at his expression and couldn't help sighing silently.

After sighing, he folded his hands again and bowed to the emperor on the high platform, with shallow ripples in his eyes: "Your Majesty, there is still one thing that I don't understand."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yunjing raised his wide sleeves slightly: "Teacher, please speak."

"If it is said that the general examination can be easily passed by relying on other people's disclosure of questions and early preparations, then what should be the explanation for the provincial examination?" The old man frowned. Where did two Taoist scholars appear?"

"Could it be that the two of them passed the provincial examinations by bribing the examiners, and that cheating in scientific examinations has become a common practice in my career?"

"This is indeed a problem." Mo Jingyao was thoughtful, then turned his eyes to the two terrified and piled up scholars, "What do you two have to say?"

"Ah? Township, township examination..." Bao Hui was subconsciously confused for a moment, and it took him a moment to come back to his senses.

He was probably so frightened that he completely forgot the rules and looked straight at the sky——

Seeing Emperor Yunjing's extremely majestic eyes, he shivered suddenly, then lowered his head trembling for a moment, with an inexplicable bitterness in the back of his throat: "Return to Your Majesty, before entering Beijing, my two Human beings are ordinary Confucian scholars."

"The Juren is also based on his own ability, and he got it through the actual test."

"It's just that after entering Beijing, the grassroots were fascinated by the rumors in Beijing... It is said that this year's main examination for the imperial examination and the supplementary examination for the general examination are the fourth highness of the dynasty, and His highness has loved Huang Lao's techniques since childhood..."

"Caomin knows that his talent is not good enough, and he doesn't study hard enough. If he wants to stand out in the exam this year, the difficulty is no less than that of climbing to the sky, so he has some unreasonable thoughts." Bao Hui smiled wryly. .

"At that time, Caomin thought selfishly that if he could be appreciated by His Highness, even if he really failed in the spring test, he would still have a place in the capital."

"Besides, the current situation is uncertain. If the Fourth Highness is reused by His Majesty in the future, Caomin will follow him, and he may be able to get a job as an official, so he and Brother Lu temporarily switched to learning Taoism."

"How can you imagine that the two of us are not people with extraordinary talents, and when we read the Taoist classics, we are even more dizzy."

"I haven't read a whole piece of "Zhuangzi", and I have forgotten all the four books and five classics that I knew so well before..." Bao Hui was exhausted and sighed, "It has become what it is today."

"That's how it is." Mo Jingyao sneered in his heart, he was used to not seeing such opportunistic people - he refused to read the good sage books carefully, and instead studied some "shortcuts".

Now that it has backfired on itself, it is purely "should be done".

After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Yunjing lowered his eyes, glanced at Mo Shucheng from the corner of his eye, and the sneer in his heart became heavier: "Teacher, do you have anything else to ask?"

"So it makes sense." After listening to Bao Hui's remarks, the old matriarch frowned and pondered for a while, "Your Majesty, the old minister still has something to do."

"Young master and the eldest son left the imperial city. It may take some time to go back and forth. What do you think of the palace test now?"

"Isn't there still two groups of tribute students who have not yet entered the palace?" Emperor Yunjing patted the handrail twice, "Zuo Mingyuan and Qing Yun won't be able to come back for a while, so let's first send these two groups of tribute students together." After taking a school test, we will discuss it later.”

"You can't let the students who have studied hard for more than ten years go for nothing, can you? It's just that the hard-working teacher has to talk a little more." The emperor nodded slightly, and he barely recovered a smile on his face.

Seeing this, the old matriarch nodded slightly and smiled lightly: "The old minister spends a lot of talking with the students of the Imperial College on weekdays, so it doesn't matter if you talk more."

"That's good, Deyong." Emperor Yun Jing waved his hand to the old eunuch beside him, Yu Deyong instantly understood, and immediately bowed his body and nodded his chin: "Here."

"You guys, take these two Gongsheng students to the other side and wait there;" the old eunuch who has become a human being shook his hand, and commanded the inner eunuchs in the hall in a deep voice, "Fourth Highness, if you want to Kneeling, I have to trouble you to go to the side."

"The rest of the Gongsheng students can go down with others and wait for the announcement of the results—"

He is clear and orderly, and people in the palace are used to being nimble, so he cleared up the mess in two or three moves, and at the end he didn't forget to ask Emperor Yunjing for instructions: "Your Majesty, you see that this old slave's arrangement is not bad. it is good?"

"Of course it's excellent." Emperor Yun Jing smiled, and the tense spirits of the officials in the palace relaxed instantly, "De Yong, go ahead."

"Yes." The old eunuch responded, turned around and announced for the second time that the palace examination would continue.

The eyes of the emperor in the Diaolong chair turned cold for a moment. His useless son and the two tribute students were just appetizers for the palace examination, and the real important thing was yet to come——

Three hundred soldiers of the Imperial Army surrounded the Gongyuan in an airtight manner, like a net that covered the sky and covered the earth, making it difficult for the wolves and insects inside to fly.

Where have the scholars who stayed in the Gongyuan, never been ranked, and who have not yet left Beijing seen such a battle?Immediately at a loss, there was a mess.

Mu Xiuning never cared about Gu's group of frail and frail scholars who were in a panic. Gu Zi led the dozen or so imperial guards and went straight to the bedroom where Bao Hui and the two lived.

He has already figured out where the two people lived, and rehearsed today's events countless times in advance in secret. Every step was forcibly engraved in his mind. Now, once he rushes into the field, he is naturally familiar with finding the way .

The young man in the court uniform of a military general squeezed the saber around his waist, and rushed to the small wing room as fast as he could.

He broke in, the wooden door trembled and the old dust on the beams fell off, the loud noise frightened the few scholars who came to join in the fun, and also frightened the "thief" inside the house who was flipping through Bao Hui's bookcase. ".

There was no trace of surprise on the young man's face. He glanced indifferently at the man in charge of dressing up, then at the small calico bag in his hand, raised his eyebrows and waved his hand: "Grab it, and take it away with you."

"Yes." The guards responded in unison, and the two stepped forward to block the man's way, while the other two put him in the middle, one on the left and one on the right.

Mu Xiuning snatched the cloth bag from his hand, weighed it in his hand, bent his lips and raised his eyes, and smiled coldly: "I thought your master would have asked you to take this thing away."

After speaking, he took advantage of the opportunity to rummage through the bookcases of the two Gong students, and found a similar package from the interlayer of Lu Renjia's box. He carried the two small bags and hummed an unknown tune leisurely.

The caught man's face was ashen. He wanted to take those things away earlier, but Bao Hui's vigilance was too high——

Not to mention the letters from the Fourth Prince's Mansion and the note from the Hou's Mansion, he put them all together, and he would carefully examine every letter in his hand by the oil lamp every night in the middle of the night.

Every piece of paper was numbered by him, leaving an inimitable hidden imprint, even if he found a vacant space in the courtyard during the day, he did not dare to do it easily.

According to their plan, before Emperor Yunjing sent people to search the Gongyuan today, he should have sneaked into the courtyard when the scholars staying in the courtyard were in a panic, and took back the letter from the Houfu—

The military general in the court is not very familiar with the route of the tribute courtyard, and the momentum surrounding the tribute courtyard must be extremely large. As long as his hands and feet are quicker, he can do it without anyone noticing.

Who would have thought that the young master's movements could be so crisp and neat?

As soon as he slipped into the yard to find the cloth bag, they rushed to the place.

Frustrated, the man knew he was doomed.
