Me, Yuan Fang?

Chapter 486 Hiss, this question is so terrifying!
"So... are you here to pick up girls?" Zuo Zhou's tone was light, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if it had nothing to do with him.On the other hand, the old man Zuo next to him had unfriendly eyes, staring at Wei Xiaobao as if saying, "Why didn't I see you before?"

Wei Xiaobao sweated coldly on his brow, "That's not accurate. Your Majesty just asked me to find out about her, and didn't say that I was going to pick her up! Besides, she's going to take part in the second imperial examination tomorrow, and it's not a brothel. Oiran, I don't have the opportunity and channels to pick her up either."

The old man Zuo stared angrily, "Oh! That is to say, if you have a chance, go for it!"

"That's impossible!" Wei Xiaobao immediately stretched out three fingers, "My loyalty to Shuang'er can be learned from heaven and earth! But... this is His Majesty's imperial decree after all, I still need to ask the two of you to explain it to Shuang'er."

"You don't even want to soak, so what's the explanation?" The old man Zuo's eyes suddenly sharpened, "You still want to soak!"

Wei Xiaobao's mouth twitched, and he said with a sneer: "Since this is an investigation, of course it includes whether she knows martial arts, and I can't ask the top experts to perceive it, so I can only do it myself, don't you think? , then there must be physical contact, so I'm afraid that Shuang'er will misunderstand!"

"Then you can explain to Shuang'er yourself!" Zuo Zhou continued.

Wei Xiaobao smiled wryly, "That pair of children will definitely look at me with wronged eyes, and then persuade me with tears to put the overall situation first, it's nothing for her to be wronged!"

Zuo Zhou raised his eyebrows, "Well, I have a picture in my mind, who did this girl learn from? But you just want to know if this woman has martial arts? It's that simple?"

"Of course not!" Wei Xiaobao said that he was a professional, "Since His Majesty wants to bring her into the harem, there must be a background check. To be honest, most of the girls who participated in the imperial examination this time were forced by their families to enter the palace. Then the family background must be the most important thing. Then... Our Majesty is a little sick, and he still wants other girls to fall in love with him. So we have to investigate whether he has a sweetheart before, whether he is married or not. Anyway, many aspects are important. To check!"

Zuo Zhou didn't make much sarcasm when he heard the words. To be honest, this is a common problem of the emperors of all dynasties.

Most of the queens and concubines in the palace are connected by interests. Although their appearance is not bad, it is ridiculous to talk about feelings, because this kind of relationship between husband and wife is determined by the royal family and a certain force, that is to say, it is uncertain whether there is love after marriage Happening.

What people want is the protection of your supreme power, and to please you in every possible way is nothing more than wanting power alone and having no choice. People say that men and women in love are blind and fools. According to this theory, all those who know how to play tricks None of the masters of Gongdou really love the emperor.And in the same way, if the emperor puts his concubine into the cold palace because of a mistake, that is also a sign of lack of love.After all, if there is true love between a partner or a husband and wife, how can they get divorced because of a problem.

"Then you don't need to get in touch with it by yourself, just ask Xiaoai to divination. It's just not too simple to get an answer about whether you know martial arts. Even if the opponent is a master of the world, you don't need to be afraid of backlash."

Wei Xiaobao's eyes lit up, "Yes, it can still be like this!"

Zuo Zhou was funny, and pointed to the backyard, "Ask Qingping, she knows where Xiaoai is."

This is not the world of film and television, there are many effective methods, there is no need to give away some night pearls or risk yourself, um, but seeing Wei Xiaobao is quite disappointing.

Piano drills!

Just by the name alone, there is a problem, but Zuo Zhou still doesn't know the opponent's plan, and he doesn't care, mainly because he has an enemy who pays more attention to.

Wei Xiaobao had to solve the problem by himself. This kid was very cowardly. After getting a positive answer from Xiao Ai, he would change to another method, and he would never take the initiative to take risks.

And as time passed, the time for the second imperial examination also arrived, and Zuo Zhou, like an old father, personally sent Li Xunhuan and Jiang Yufeng into the examination room.

"This subject is all about subjective questions. You need to remember to write your own opinions, but you must also consider that Li Si is the main examiner. It is up to you to decide. Now the Daqin government is still clear, although everyone Everyone likes to listen to flattery, but how to flatter them just right is also knowledge. What Li Si needs is someone who agrees with Legalism and is capable and assertive, and it would be better if this person can stand with him."

"Thank you for the teaching, Master, I will remember it." Li Xunhuan remained calm as always, but Jiang Yufeng was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking just now.

Zuo Zhou has no good solution to this, but recalling Jiang Yufeng who was full of vigor and wanted to prove herself at that time, it is inevitable to feel a little regretful.

Watching the two girls enter the tribute courtyard, Zuo Zhou was about to turn around when he vaguely felt a gaze.

Um?I turned around and found nothing, so I could only get into the carriage again to chat with the girls to pass the time.

But Zuo Zhou didn't find anyone watching him, Wei Xiaobao found out, it was a coincidence, after knowing the answer of Qin Cao's martial arts, he no longer limited his attention to Qin Cao himself.After all, he didn't believe that anyone would be stupid enough to single-handedly target Hu Hai. What kind of stupid thing would a silly white and sweet heroine do?

So he has been observing Qin Cao outside the Gongyuan, just want to see who sent her to take the imperial examination, so that he can follow the clues.However, what happened was beyond his expectations. She was sent by several servants, and she herself seemed to be very interested in her uncle... No, the look in those eyes was clearly hatred!

Could it be... that Li Yuanfang, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, has also been in chaos and finally abandoned?

Wei Xiaobao's expression instantly turned lewd, but the business is important, as for how to tease him afterwards, it's a matter for later.Thinking that he started to follow the few servants, and then the servants started to disperse after crossing a street.Wei Xiaobao randomly picked someone to follow, but it turned out that this guy was very promiscuous, not to mention walking all over the street and always seducing some widows and young daughters-in-law. Wei Xiaobao, who looked so cheap, almost called the police.Well, this is simply a local hooligan on the street!
Wei Xiaobao couldn't bear it anymore, and when he showed up, he was beaten violently. That local hooligan didn't have the ambition to "beat him to death without telling him", he explained clearly that he was hired by Qin Cao with money, and he said that female candidates came to the imperial examination alone. It was convenient, so a few gangsters pretended to be servants and bodyguards to escort her.A few gangsters cheated him of 100 taels because they saw that he was easy to bully!
This answer really made Wei Xiaobao a little unacceptable, but after thinking about it, he asked again: "Take off your clothes, and then I will replace you to escort him."

……

In the examination room
As soon as Qin Cao sat down, she started to get into the mood. Looking around, she found that Hu Hai didn't come today. It was a pity, but she was very satisfied with yesterday's experience. She was fully sure that Hu Hai would never forget him.

Thinking of this place, my heart felt a lot more at ease, and when I looked up, I saw Lu Qinghou not far away, and similarly, Lu Qinghou also saw her.Then with a solemn expression, he reached out and took the paperweight to block in front of the table, and even unfolded it without authorization and clamped it on the paperweight to completely block the examination paper.

Fuck!You bastard, don't let me catch you outside!
Qin Cao almost couldn't hold back his character design, took a long breath and looked down at the test paper. Most of the questions were clichés, such as what is the idea of ​​governing the country, how to deal with what kind of incidents occur, the scope includes agriculture, military affairs, diplomacy Wait, it covers a very wide range anyway.

As a former Khan, I can understand the purpose of doing this. After all, it is to select talents for the country. As long as you meet the standard line, you can become an official, and which questions you answer well will naturally assign you to which positions.

After all, it is Daqin, this method is obviously very simple, and the Turks before it can never think of it.

Qin Cao let out a long sigh, what's the use of thinking about it now, the Turks are gone!

Shaking his head, Qin Cao focused his attention on the last big question. This question is an optional question, and it is a question posed by many competitors of the National Teacher.

Qin Cao saw the question from Pudu Cihang at a glance. After Shangguan Jinhong came back from the door last night, his expression was not very good. He thought he had nothing to do, but he said that the plan had changed.

Originally, they wanted to expose the secrets of Purdue Cihang to Hu Hai little by little. After all, the truth he discovered by himself is more credible than what others directly told.It’s just that it can no longer be like this now, because Hu Hai is too rebellious. If he decides on the candidate for the national teacher first, he may not change his decision after knowing his identity as a monster, and even Zhao Gao may not be able to persuade him. .

So now we have to expose Purdue Cihang's hole card before Hu Hai announces that he will become the national teacher, but if this is the case, it will be easy to be exposed, which means that future plans will have to be adjusted accordingly, even ahead of schedule!

It is said that since coming to the imperial capital, all kinds of things have gone wrong, the imperial capital is really not easy.

Qin Cao sighed again, and focused on the test paper again. Except for Pudu Cihang's question, which she couldn't answer, another question came into her sight.

"This question..."

'Detail the impact of this change in the imperial examination system, and what benefits and harms do you think it will have on the country'

hiss!
Qin Cao took a deep breath, but she was stunned immediately, and found that she was not the only one who was breathing.Looking up, I saw the candidates around me looking around in bewilderment.

Sure enough, everyone is not stupid, this question can be said to have a lot of meaning!

What is the biggest change in the imperial examination system this time?Of course, it is the rule that women can also take the imperial examination. It is not new to comment on the change of a certain law, but this time the imperial examination cannot be changed.

The word "benefits and harms" seems to be no problem on the surface, but since it involves "harms", it means that there is a possibility of abolition.

The women in Daqin finally got some status promotion, you still want to abolish it?

It is conceivable that female candidates will definitely choose this question to answer the first time they see it.What about the boys?Theoretically speaking, candidates who have experienced male privileges will definitely be critical, but there is a serious problem... This time the imperial examination is not only for the selection of talents, but also for the selection of concubines for the emperor!
In other words, some of these female candidates will enter the harem and become concubines, and the examination papers are not a secret for the level of concubines. If these female candidates know who wrote the critical article, they will be Sometimes you only need to blow the wind beside your pillow, then...my mother, it may affect your official career!
