On the ninth day of the eighth lunar month, the Qiu Wei exam was officially opened.

There are three sessions in total, one session for three days. During this period, candidates eat and drink in a small examination room, and the conditions are very difficult.

But the students have been studying hard for years, and the moment they "touched" the test question, they didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment at all, all they thought about was the way to answer the question and how to answer it.

This year is slightly different, because some people say that the exam questions have been "leaked".

This means that someone has figured out what to test for days in advance.

During this period, the other party can find some Confucian capable people to answer the question, and then memorize the answer, and then just keep silent.

That's what's wrong.

The cock crowing at dawn, and the gong in the Gongyuan rang, signaling candidates to wake up, and the exam is about to begin.

The students looked sullen and had a negative attitude. They said to themselves:

Are you still going to take the test? Just put the name of the person who is close to the Zhen family and the sixth princess on the list. Why do you need to go through this process and waste your family's time?

Hu Yuewen, one of the candidates, threw the pen on the table, not even in the mood to grind.

She came from a poor family, and only a few generations came out as a scholar like her.

Over the years, regardless of the difficult conditions, Hu Yuewen never gave up studying hard. When there is no money to buy ink, he does not hesitate to pick up cow dung for copper.

Her pen-holding hands have more calluses than those holding a hoe.

Last year's scientific expedition was her machine, but her old father was seriously ill and bedridden, and he could not be separated from him.

Hu Yuewen had no choice but to give up. Just when she felt regretful and lost in her heart and thought that she would have to wait another three years, this year she had an Enke!

To her, it was like a pedestrian in the dark night suddenly saw a light in front of her, and no one was more excited than her.

As a result, there was fraud.

The so-called light is just the light of the firefly, and it disappears in the blink of an eye.

No one understands that she has hatred and despair.

The opposite of students like Hu Yuewen were those who got the exam questions.

This group of people are not all disciples of the Zhen family, but some of the exam questions bought from other places with their connections and money are said to be given by the Zhen family.

With exam questions, it is natural to find someone to write an article.

Otherwise, with their abilities, it would be okay if they didn't answer the questions.

This group of people stayed up all night to memorize the answers a few days before the exam, and waited for Qiu Wei to release a blockbuster.

They suppressed their excitement and wished they could bring the papers now. In order to prevent forgetting the answers, some people didn't even dare to sleep all night.

As for the poor students in the examination room next door...

Who cares.

The road to an official career is inherently turbulent. Enke, the bridge leading to an official career, is said to be fair and a stage for the competition of scholars all over the world.

When they become officials in the future, they can just spend a couple of dollars and one or two, and then they will be able to put all their daughters, granddaughters, relatives and other family members in to become officials, and the family will make money together.

Three years of Qing prefect, Wan Xuehua silver.

Can this official get richer and richer?

They have all thought about the future prospects, and they are only one exam paper away from the dream.

And now, the examiners, led by Shen Yuan, were taking out the exam papers from the cabinet.

Shen Yuan led Wang Ren and Ma Ren to stand in front of the cabinet where the test papers were stored, and gestured to the two of them to look at them, "The seal is still intact."

The king and the horse head echoed, "In good condition, in good condition."

No matter how good it is, the exam questions have not been leaked out.

The king and the centaurs were puzzled. For the past two days, the two of them stared at each other, and even followed each other when they went to the toilet, for fear that they might not be able to spot the affairs of scholars all over the world.

As a result, by the time they entered the Gongyuan, the exam questions had already been leaked out!

Doesn't that mean the two are staring at each other.

Although they were locked in the Gongyuan, they were completely unaware of any news from the outside world.

But yesterday there were students making noises at the gate of the Gongyuan, which can always be heard. After all, the Fourth Princess personally brought people to suppress it.

It was only after listening to them that they realized that before Enke started, the exam questions had already been leaked, and even the topics of policy theory were clearly stated.

The king glanced at the centaurs, the centaurs frowned in thought, sighed, spread out his hands, and shook his head slightly.

The king sneered at her in disbelief, snorted and shook his sleeves and stopped looking at her, as if he was extremely disdainful.

At the expense of the world's scholars, what can do if sit in that position?

Horse people are really wronged.

Although she was from the Zhen family, she didn't receive the news that the sixth princess was going to cheat.

The centaurs also wondered if this was the work of the Fourth Princess. They poured all the dirty water on the Sixth Princess, and she would be the cleanest one by then.

Immediately, the centaur looked at the king with a bad look, he threw the sleeve of his official uniform behind him, and turned his face away and stopped looking at her.

The two did not deal with each other, and the atmosphere was even more tense than when they first came. In order to prevent the examiners from fighting first, they finally had to look at Shen Yuan and the paper in her hand.

No, only when you see the papers when the test is officially opened will you know if the test questions are leaked.

If there is fraud, it will be troublesome today.

With a smile on Shen Yuan's face, she took out the papers from the cabinet with both hands.

The public opinion outside had already stirred up yesterday, and today it broke out completely after seeing the test paper.

At that time, the candidates are making trouble, and the fraud is confirmed, and the sixth princess and the Zhen family can't explain it clearly.

She was in the Gongyuan, and the news from the outside could not come in. All she knew was that there was a disturbance at the gate of the Gongyuan yesterday.

This was the signal she had agreed with the eldest prince, and it was their people who took the lead in inciting people. One was to tell her in the Gongyuan that everything was going smoothly as planned, and the other was to lead the four princesses to discuss cooperation.

Shen Yuan held the paper in both hands and turned around, with a gentle smile on her face, warm like a spring breeze.

Presumably, Changning has already negotiated, and now we are just waiting for good news from her side.

As the chief examiner, Shen Yuan needed to show the seal of the paper in front of the two deputy examiners.

However, Shen Yuan held the paper in one hand and the blade wrapped in red paper in the other, as if she suddenly remembered, and asked, "The two of you, have you ever heard of the students making a noise at the gate of Gongyuan yesterday?"

Speaking of this, the king glared at the centaurs again, and the centaurs snorted.

Both of them are thinking about each other:

can be installed.

Shen Yuan took advantage of the internal strife between the two, and was about to open the papers on the table when she heard the centaur suddenly speak.

"Hold on."

Ma Ren put his hand on the paper, "Shenren, we haven't seen whether the seal of the paper is intact."

Shen Yuan was startled, "Did you not see clearly just now?"

The king put his hand on his stomach with a smile, "I glanced at it, but I didn't see it clearly. It's better to be cautious about this matter. Who asked us to have such an item in our errands?"

No matter how rumored it is outside, their duty as examiners is to check the red wax seal on the paper roll before the exam.

Shen Yuan didn't expect that the two people who didn't look at each other just now would suddenly have a tacit understanding on this matter, and unanimously asked to see the seal first.

"The two of you didn't see the seal clearly, wasn't it negligent because of quarreling and bickering?"

Shen Yuan smiled slightly, "If the two don't get along first, who's to blame for delaying the candidates?"

Shen Yuan diverted the attention of the two of them elsewhere, deducting the fault first.

The faces of Wang and Ma were a little unsightly.

"We are a whole, if there are any mistakes, you and I can't escape the relationship," Shen Yuan's words were somewhat meaningful, and it seemed to be a follow-up to what happened just now, "So even if there are some small personal grievances, for the sake of the game, you should endure it. It's good."

"Shen Ren is right." Ma Rentou.

Just when Shen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, she heard her continue, "But I still ask to read the seal before opening the paper."

"..."

Emotions just flickered.

The horses are as long as their faces and stubborn as donkeys. If they say they want to see them, they must see them.

She reached for the paper.

Shen Yuan's face sank, and she pressed her hand on the surface of the paper to stop her writing, "What do you mean by Ma Ren? Will the posture delay the time of the candidates all over the world?"

With such a hat buttoned down, the centaurs couldn't hold it back.

At this time, Wang Ren smiled and pulled Shen Yuan's forearm, "Hey, Shen Ren, please let her take a look. As long as the paper seal is intact, she will give up."

"Again, just take a look, it won't take a long time. But if we are stuck like we are, it will be a waste of time."

The king and the centaurs are not stupid, maybe they didn't realize it just now, but the moment Shen Yuan put her hand on the paper and prevented the centaurs from seeing them, the two looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.

If the paper is good, why not let it read?

Either Shen Yuan has a problem, or there is a problem with the paper.

The king and the centaur were only concerned about guarding against each other, but they forgot that there was another Shen Yuan who was the least suspect.

I thought that she was the wife of the eldest prince, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and had no conflict of interest in the struggle for succession, so didn't think about her.

Now it seems that the eldest prince has great ambitions.

The king took Shen Yuan's forearm, and the horse took the paper.

Shen Yuan's fingers on the roll surface clenched into fists, and finally had to move away.

"If you want to see it, then see it." Shen Yuan smiled and her voice was slightly cold, "It's just that if something goes wrong, I'd say so, but the official position and life of the two people, I don't dare to dare. promise."

This is already a clear threat.

The horse man gritted his teeth, "Thanks Chenren for your concern, even if Wei Chen lost his life because of this, at least he has a conscience."

The king followed and looked at it.

Shen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but there was no panic on her face.

She threw the knife on the table leisurely.

Look it up, look it up.

The left and right papers have already been taken apart, and since they can't hide it, just threw the dirty pots out.

When the candidates start making trouble, she puts the blame on the centaurs.

It was said that she and the Zhen family Ying Wai partnered with the Zhen family's disciples to cheat, and secretly opened the cabinet and opened the papers when she and Wang Ren were not paying attention.

The king is the person of the fourth emperor's daughter. When the time comes, he will stand up and testify against the horseman. Isn't it a matter of the fourth emperor's daughter?

Shen Yuan stood by the side, watching the examination papers that the two of them turned over and over again, "Ma Ren, don't you have anything to say?"

Shen Yuan's original intention was to put the crime on the centaur first, but before she could finish speaking, she saw the centaur respectfully salute her, "Please forgive me, I was the one who offended me just now, and even suspected that there was something wrong with him."

"?"

Shen Yuan was at a loss, which song did this sing?

The centaur held the paper in both hands and handed it over, "Ask someone to unpack the test paper."

Shen Yuan took the paper hesitantly, but her eyes fell on the centaur's face, wondering what she was going to do?

Is this also his own?

Changning didn't say anything.

Shen Yuan looked down at the paper and was stunned for a moment, and then followed it over and over to check the paper, with a strange expression on her face, "No, this is not right!"

She was a little flustered, and the words blurted out.

The king smiled and said, "Shen Ren, what's wrong with this? This is clearly right. The paper has never been opened, especially right."

Just because it hasn't been opened, it's not right.

Shen Yuan's hand holding the scroll was slightly clenched, her fingernails were so strong, her throat tightened, and she looked at the scroll in her hand in disbelief, especially where it was sealed.

The wax oil red mark, there is no half-problem, it is like it has not been opened, no, it should have never been opened at all.

This was not the paper she took off that night.

Who changed her papers!

Shen Yuan's heart was instantly cold.

Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, she shook her hand and squeezed the blade, opened the paper, and took out the test paper inside.

Strategy Theory Exam Questions - "On the Advantages and Disadvantages of Current Penalties and Improvements"

It has nothing to do with flood relief.

Can't say that they are exactly the same, only that they are nothing, no, relative, and dry!

Shen Yuan stood on the spot dumbfounded, holding the paper, "This, this..."

The king and the centaurs took a look, both of them had a look of joy on their faces, happy from their hearts.

The centaurs even patted their legs and said, "This is so good!"

No fraud, no fraud at all!

Rumors, everything is rumors.

The sixth princess has been saved, the Zhen family has been saved, and the most important thing is that the hardships and the peace pursued by scholars all over the world have been saved!

The king laughed and took the paper from Shen Yuan's hand and handed it over to the guards to distribute it one by one.

She deliberately said, "Who the hell was at the door yesterday rumored that this year's Enke's strategy exam is about disaster relief? Shit, Quanfa's bullshit, this is obviously a punishment."

The punishment is good, the punishment is second, and the punishment is not good.

The king and the centaurs were so happy that they almost danced, and those who didn't know it thought they were the same in high school this year.

In complete contrast to the excitement here is Shen Yuan next to him.

Her mind went blank and she had no idea what was going on.

Only the heart in the chest fell heavily, as if it could not touch the bottom.

The unknown fear was intertwined with the known results, like a rope tightening around her neck.

It was only early autumn, but the chill was already running up the soles of the feet, and it was completely cold from the foot to the head.

She fell back in the chair, and there was only one thought in her heart:

Done.

The king and the horse looked at each other and ignored Shen Yuan, but stood in the courtyard outside and looked at the examination room.

The responses of the candidates to the examination papers were mixed.

The moment Hu Yuewen, who thought there was no hope, still thought it was the same when she got the test paper.

It wasn't until he saw the word "Xing" on the paper that he paused slightly.

Is this maddening?

Otherwise, how could the good "Disaster Relief" become "Punishment"?

Only then did Hu Yuewen realize that it was only a rumor before, and the content of the real test was not what the rumor said.

But don't know how ulterior motives the person who spread the rumors was shaking people's hearts before entering the tribute courtyard.

She also said that if she didn't take the disaster relief exam, she would eat the bamboo basket. If Hu Yuewen was asked to see it, that inspiring scholar should have eaten her own conscience.

If it weren't for the heartless, how could such evil be done!

Hu Yuewen hurriedly picked up the pen, ready to dip in ink.

He stretched out his hands, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't polished the ink beforehand. She smiled again, shook her head and rolled up her sleeves, thinking about how to answer the question while grinding.

The opposite of her mood were those who had bought exam questions beforehand.

They spent taels of silver, bought the questions first, then asked someone to do them, and finally recited them overnight.

Before they got the papers, they were still thinking about getting rich.

As a result, when they got the papers, they were all dumbfounded.

Is this all?

What about flood control and disaster relief?

What kind of punishment!

Did they get scammed when they bought the exam questions?

Such a sum of money!

Compared with the pain in the flesh, these people want to cry more because they have been reciting the answers to disaster relief for the past two days. All they have in their minds is flood control, and they can't think of anything else!

Here's an empty roll of paper, just want to cry.

The tears are even more turbulent than the flood of the Yellow River this year.

The reaction of the candidates can be described as various, but they are still happy.

After watching the king and the horse, they felt a little warm in their eyes, and their hearts were touched, and the feeling was indescribable.

If they were sitting in the examination room, they would be more grateful for Enke's integrity at this moment.

"I don't know which ghost genius came up with this!" The centaur smiled and said, "High, it's really high."

Judging from the public opinion outside and Shen Yuan's reaction, it should be true that the exam papers were leaked.

It's just that the leaked question is not the same question as the exam question.

You think I'm taking this question, ah~ I'm actually taking another question.

Unexpectedly, I have two questions and two papers.

Are you surprised?

This trick successfully shook the crowd, especially those who wanted to do bad things behind them, and they were even more dizzy, and they were sitting in the room puzzled.

Wang Ren also laughed, "This idea is so daring and indescribable 'damage', I think it was the one who came out, there is no one else but her."

She didn't mention her name, but a flamboyant face appeared in the centaur's mind.

The other party must be dressed in red as bright as fire, watching the fun with his legs crossed and nibbling melon seeds.

Shi Qing is really watching the fun.

She and Yun Zhi were watching a play at the tea stall closest to the Palace of the First Prince.

The eldest prince is still waiting for the good news of Shen Yuan in the mansion.

From getting up in the morning and sitting up to now, kept looking at the sky and guessing the time.

It stands to reason that no matter how much lingering, the exam papers should be distributed, so why hasn't there been silence in the Gongyuan yet?

If the group of candidates found out that someone was cheating, they would definitely turn the table and make a fuss.

They are all literati, if one or two is fine, but they are afraid of people. When the time comes, the family will swarm up to make trouble, and the guards and officers and soldiers will not be able to use swords.

Once things are troubled, Gongyuan will be lively.

The candidates inside made troubles, and the literati and family members outside made troubles, echoing inside and outside, and no one came.

"Has the person who snooped on the news returned?" The eldest prince asked with a frown.

I'm not in a good mood, I'm dressing up casually today, and dressing more elegantly. Sitting there, there is less of a gorgeous grace, and a little bit of the nobleness of the royal family.

After all, the eldest prince is a royal, and his temperament and appearance can't be faulted.

"Not yet."

This morning, the eldest prince sent three people around the Gongyuan to listen to the news, but none of them have come back so far.

The eldest prince put his hand on the arm of the chair, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

At this moment, the servant said, "His Royal Highness, the person who was listening to the news is back!"

The eldest prince sat up slightly, "Let her in."

The person listening to the news pretended to be a trader, and squatted nearby and waited quietly, but it was calm inside, not to mention trouble, not even a bird.

"Report to Your Highness, there is no silence."

The eldest prince frowned.

Should not be ah.

After another half an hour, the two who were listening to the news came back.

"How about it?"

The other party looked distressed, "Ma Jing, I was afraid that I didn't hear clearly, so I found a taller tree and climbed up to see it."

The tree was too far away, thanks to her good eyesight, otherwise she wouldn't be able to see.

Hearing the words, the eldest prince stood up and even took two steps forward, full of anticipation, "Did you see it?"

It must be the candidates who made a fuss and fought with the guards and officers and soldiers.

As long as there is silence inside, you can incite literati from outside to join the family members who are admitted to the Gongyuan, so as to boycott Enkebu.

The man who climbed the tree shook his head, "The candidates inside are all doing the questions in unison. There are only guards walking in the yard, and there is no sign of making a scene."

The eldest prince was stunned.

This is not right.

This should not be the reaction when candidates get the papers.

His palm was slightly cold, but he couldn't communicate with Shen Yuan in the Gongyuan now.

The servants in the mansion walked over quickly and saluted the eldest prince, with a hurried tone:

"His Royal Highness, I heard from outside that it is purely a rumor that Enke's fraud this year. The news has already been spread in the palace, and the emperor himself said that the examination of the strategy is not for disaster relief, but for punishment, so there is no possibility of fraud."

Not disaster relief...

The eldest prince froze in place.

this means……

This shows that people shake a bit.

In fact, the papers had already been quietly replaced in the Gongyuan without Shen Yuan's knowledge.

If it weren't for this possibility, news would have come out the night Shen Yuan finished checking the papers, saying that the plan had changed, and even at this time, the Gongyuan was not so harmonious and quiet.

The eldest prince's figure swayed slightly, and this was the clear plan.

The eldest prince had always thought that he was the one who laid out the net, but now he looked back and found that he was in the net.

The servant still maintained his saluting posture and said hesitantly, "His Royal Highness, someone has come from the palace and said that you want to enter the palace."

It's "to", not "please".

Shi Qing and Yun Zhi watched with their own eyes the eldest prince came out of the palace and got into the soft sedan chair from the palace.

The eldest prince left on the front foot, and the entire eldest prince's mansion and the Shen mansion were surrounded by officers and soldiers, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Shi Qing clapped the melon seed skin on his hands and said to Yun Zhi, "Wait for me when I go home, I'll go to the palace to see the excitement."

Yun Zhi frowned, reached out and picked up the Qingjian on the table to stand up, "I'll go with you."

"There is no will, what are you going to do?" Shi Qing took out the book from his sleeve and patted his forehead lightly, "I have serious business with the Ministry of Household."

She has a legitimate reason for entering the palace and a first-line pass to eat melons.

Yun Zhi still stretched out his hand and pulled Shi Qing's sleeves, sitting and looking up at her, "The Fifth Princess..."

"Don't worry, the emperor is fishing, grab the eldest prince's tail, and the people behind will probably "show" out of the water."

Shi Qing bent down and kissed Yun Zhi's forehead, "Be good, go back and wait for me."

She said, "I have to send off the Fifth Highness."

Otherwise, the gangster task will not be completed.

"Besides, my mother is also in the palace."

Yun Zhi was relieved, "Then I'll wait for you to come back for dinner."

It is only morning now, and there are still some hours before lunch.

"Row."

Shi Qing entered the palace after the eldest prince.

When she came, the fourth and fifth princesses were standing outside the imperial study. As for the sixth princess, she said that she was confined in the palace and not allowed to go out, but it was actually Shiju who was watching the exam.

This fraud incident did not affect her at all, and the sixth princess was behind closed doors from beginning to end.

"Fourth Highness, Fifth Highness." Shi Qing saluted.

The fourth princess still nodded slightly, without saying a word.

Instead, it was Shi Qing from the Five Emperors' Dynasty who looked over.

It seems that she has become more ill since the last time she held hands with Yun, and the sickness on her body has not been able to suppress the twilight qi that is not long in life.

Just standing here requires the help of servants.

However, her gaze towards Shi Qing was dark and heavy.

The fifth princess first seduced the heart of the fourth princess, planted the seeds of low birth in her heart, and then incited the eldest prince to commit fraud.

Things were going according to plan step by step.

It wasn't until this morning that she learned that the paper man had changed it!

Replaced!

What a bad dance!

Shi Qing "showed" his teeth with a smile, leaned closer and said, "I didn't expect it, I made an ab roll, surprise or not, surprise or surprise?"

The five emperors' chest was full of qi and blood, and she coughed twice, coughing up blood.

This body is too overdrawn.

First, the subsystem destroyed her and was injured, then the dream of invading Yun Zhi was unsuccessful and was backfired, and finally she fought against Yun Zhi.

The fifth princess originally thought that she would be able to get the container of the fourth emperor today, but only then did she attack Yun Zhi in the palace that day.

If she had known about today, she should have been more secure.

Blame her for being conceited, blame her for not expecting to clear this variable.

When the fifth princess vomited blood, Shi Qing immediately left her.

She doesn't want to change her "sex".

The servants tried their best to support the fifth princess, but they didn't say that she should go back to the palace to rest, nor did they ask the imperial doctor to come over.

The imperial study next to the Qing Dynasty glanced at it, and felt that the emperor called four or five people over, it must be because of the eldest prince.

The door of the imperial study room was closed, and all the palace attendants withdrew, leaving only the emperor and the eldest prince inside.

After all, it's a royal affair, so you have to close the door and solve it yourself.

The heart of an emperor and the love between siblings always have a result.
