When seeing the two people standing in the right position, it is no exaggeration to describe Jiang Huaiqing's mood at the moment with the words "turned upside down".

A man in a black-clothed emperor's uniform stood side by side with a blue-clothed youth. The faces of the two were not completely familiar to him, but their demeanor could not deceive anyone.

Even though his face changed a little, Jiang Huaiqing still recognized the two.

- Brother Lin, Brother Yu.

Jiang Huaiqing's mind was dumbfounded. If the person on the side hadn't quietly pulled the hem of his clothes, he might have lost his temper.

Reluctantly, Jiang Huaiqing followed the students to salute, and when the ranking was read, his thoughts drifted away again.

It turned out that Brother Lin and Brother Yu were today Zi and Shen Guijun. They both concealed their identities and left the palace for unknown reasons. They met them who happened to be in Yingxinglou. Jiang Huaiqing recalled what he had done these days and just wanted to help his forehead.

Worrying about Brother Yu, oh no, worrying about your situation at your husband's house, interrupting your Majesty's intimacy with your majesty, and the letters that are frequently written to your majesty...

Look at what he has done. He actually wrote in the letter that someone was looking for him to cheat. The cheating was solved smoothly. He thought that the two of them were from officials and eunuchs at most. Huan's power peak.

There are also some other things. For example, in your reply to him, you said in a joking tone that because of his frequent writing, the husband in the family had eaten a lot of vinegar. What did he do at that time? He spent most of the letter making fun of Brother Lin, no, His Majesty's behavior.

As he became more and more familiar, the tone of his letters became more and more casual. If he knew that these letters would eventually be sent to the palace, he would never write those things! No, he wouldn't write so often!

After all the rankings were announced, Shang Junlin opened his mouth and said some words of encouragement and admonition, and Shen Yu stood above, watching with amusement as the expression on Jiang Huaiqing's face changed and changed.

It seems to recognize their identities.

Shen Yu was amused, this time Jiang Huaiqing was probably shocked a lot.

During the whole process, Jiang Huaiqing was not in the state until Shang Junlin mentioned Fang Jiayi's name.

"Among the candidates this time, there is a person with a special identity. Our new second-ranked Fang Jiayi, the daughter of Mr. Fang, Fang Jun, has achieved such a good result as a woman, which is the first time in the history of Da Huan."

What? ? ?

Second place is a woman? ? ?

As soon as Shang Junlin's voice fell, there was a commotion from below. Shang Junlin ignored these people, leaving the top three and sending the others out of the palace.

Several ministers were hesitant to speak, but due to the attitude of Shang Jun, they couldn't say much, and followed the candidates out of the hall.

Several people gathered together and discussed in a low voice.

"This, there is no precedent for a woman to be an official since ancient times. Do we have to let His Majesty come here?"

"The grades are chosen by everyone. What's the use of talking about these now? Do you want to cross out her deserved ranking because of her female status?"

"But that Fang Jiayi entered the examination room disguised as a man, which was not in compliance with the rules."

"Rules? Do you really think that she is a woman who has the ability to hide from all the people who searched her body? What if she is Lord Fang's beloved daughter."

"What the Prime Minister means... From the beginning, this matter was acquiesced by His Majesty?"

"Otherwise, you see today, your Majesty is a little surprised?"

"Then, do we just let a woman enter the court as an official?"

"It's going to take a while, we are the only ones who know it now. When the results are announced, all the ministers will know about it, not only that, but all the scholars in the world will know, what is it that your Majesty has to face? Opposing Minister."

The Prime Minister stroked the folds on his sleeves and said in a low voice: "Do you think Your Majesty will care what those people think? Since His Majesty has made a decision, there are several times that it has been changed because of the opposition of others."

"Is the Prime Minister also going to mess with His Majesty?" Some ministers were dissatisfied.

"This lord, don't lift up this official. This official has such great ability. I just want to remind you that it is better to convince yourself to accept the established facts instead of trying to fight against Your Majesty."

As long as he is someone who can really do things for Da Huan, the prime minister doesn't care about the other's gender and other external conditions. He is really fed up with people who occupy positions and do nothing, which greatly increases his workload.

In the hall, except for Jiang Huaiqing, who was still not in the state, the rest of the two felt a little complicated.

Guessing the identities of the two is one thing, but facing the truth is another. He Chengyu is in a trance. The intersection between him and Shen Yu, Shang Junlin is not as much as Jiang Huaiqing. The image of Jun Rin is too far from the image of the rumored Emperor Dahuan.

Everyone knows that the current emperor of Dahuan came out of the sea of ​​blood, and used ruthless means to forcibly ascend to the throne. Although the means of ascending have been criticized by many families, but because of his contribution to Dahuan, he has a reputation in the hearts of ordinary people. Still good.

The Shang Junlin that He Chengyu learned about is ruthless and decisive, he speaks the truth, and does not tolerate disobedience. The young master Lin he knows is almost obedient to his wife, except that he is not very talkative and has no temper. No matter how you look at it, there is no way to connect the two together. .

The two personalities so separated appear in the same person.

Fang Jiayi's mood at the moment is also very complicated. In addition to the complexity, there is a trace of daze. She knows that the path she has chosen is difficult to walk, and she is also prepared to fight hard, but she did not expect the first step to be completed so easily.

After a moment of silence, Shen Yu said, "Eunuch Meng, move a seat for our freshly released top three."

Eunuch Meng took the order and left, and after a while, there were three more chairs in the hall.

Shen Yu took Shang Junlin and sat down, "I don't need to speak, you must have guessed the identities of your Majesty and I. It is exactly as you thought. When I left the palace, I didn't expect to meet the future champion and Tanhua."

In one sentence, the conjecture in Jiang Huaiqing and He Chengyu's heart was confirmed.

"I also hope you don't blame us for hiding it."

Under Shen Yu's adjustment, the atmosphere was finally no longer as stiff as it was at the beginning. He Chengyu had expected it in his heart, and quickly adjusted his mood. Jiang Huaiqing took a while to digest and reluctantly calmed himself down.

Shen Yu knew that with the current identities of him and Shang Junlin, it would be difficult for Jiang Huaiqing and He Chengyu to return to the previous mode of getting along with each other.

"A lot of things happened in the imperial examination this time, and now the results are down, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful. I just want to say that the results you get now are what you deserve. Even if you face more situations in the future, I hope You can keep your original intentions."

Shang Junlin didn't say it clearly, but everyone present knew what he was talking about. First, there was fraud, Jiang Huaiqing was involved in it, and then Fang Jiayi took the second place in the examination as a woman. Gotta make trouble.

"Students remember the teachings!" The three stood up and saluted respectfully.

This is Shang Junlin's home court, Shen Yu didn't say much, Shang Junlin said a few words and let him go.

After leaving the palace, Jiang Huaiqing breathed a long sigh of relief.

Fang Jiayi wants to go back to the palace. After leaving the palace, he said goodbye to the two of them. Jiang Huaiqing and He Chengyu went back to Yingxinglou.

"Brother Chengyu, did you already know?" On the carriage, Jiang Huaiqing felt that something was wrong the more he thought about it, and turned He Chengyu with his elbow.

"Know what?" He Chengyu, who was closing his eyes and resting, opened his eyes.

"Knowing the true identities of Brother Lin and Brother Yu, I was just shocked. You seem to have expected it." Jiang Huaiqing lowered his voice.

"I guessed some, but I only confirmed it today." He Chengyu didn't hide it.

"You should remind me," Jiang Huaiqing wailed and fell on the carriage, "Look at what I've done these days? And those letters... God, I really ate a bear's heart and a leopard's guts, and dared to write in the letter Something like that."

He Chengyu helped the person up, "Didn't your majesty and your noble say nothing? Besides, you didn't know their true identities at the time. After you wrote the letter, your noble returned to you, it's all right."

"Do you know?" Jiang Huaiqing's eyes were blank, "I only thought that your noble lord was married to an aristocratic family, and he wrote a lot of methods on how to deal with clan relations in the letter, and how to make Brother Lin stand with him. An online method..."

Thinking of that scene, He Chengyu couldn't help laughing, and patted Jiang Huaiqing on the shoulder: "Just pay attention in the future. Your Majesty and your noble lord are magnanimous and don't care."

It's not a matter of His Majesty and your noble arrogance, as long as he thinks back to what he's done these days, Jiang Huaiqing will be helpless.

They were riding in a carriage sent by the palace. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Yingxing Building, the shopkeeper of Yingxing Building brought someone up to greet them. These are the new champions and Tanhua, both of whom are guests of Yingxing Building. What an honor to go out.

In the sound of congratulations from everyone, the two got off the carriage, and Yingxinglou set up a small banquet for the two, just waiting for the two masters to arrive.

Fang Jiayi was also sent back to Fang's house by the carriage in the palace. Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang went out to greet him. Seeing his daughter wearing a student costume, Mr. Fang felt a faint pride in his heart.

Even if he only has one daughter, there is no need for any man in this world.

"Father."

"Good boy," Mr. Fang rubbed his daughter's head, "the family is all ready. Since you have achieved such good results, don't worry about other things. Your father will take care of it."

His daughter has achieved such excellent results, and he wants to know what kind of shock will be caused by those old-fashioned family ministers when they know about it.

"Your Majesty will have a headache tomorrow." Under the gazebo, Shen Yu poured a cup of tea for the man opposite.

Shang Junlin took it and drank it: "As early as the day I promised Fang's daughter, I expected what the consequences would be. It's a foregone conclusion. No matter how they make trouble, it won't help."

"Your Majesty deliberately announced the results ahead of time this year, did you expect them to make trouble?" In Shen Yu's impression, the results of the palace exams are usually announced within one to three days. This year, Shang Junlin went directly to the same day. Before you can react, let the world know the result.

"Ayu's words are not bad, don't worry about the Prime Minister's side, those officials of the aristocratic family will not easily accept this result," Shang Junlin held Shen Yu's wrist, "Who let their people not get a single one this time? ."

"Although He Chengyu comes from an aristocratic family, the He family doesn't have much interaction with the major families in the capital," Shen Yu smiled, "They probably didn't expect that this year's final result would be like this."

Shang Junlin rubbed the gloomy wrist, his eyes darkened: "Ayu, this time I won again."
