The world is heavy and late

Chapter 199 Slander
Xia Qing didn't pay much attention to the scientific examination, which was a matter of concern to scholars all over the country.

Because she is preparing for this year's new banquet, Xu Zhong is too busy recently, it seems that she is busy with the grading of the Imperial College, because the imperial examination results are released in the second half of the month, and there will be the unprecedented Imperial College entrance examination in ten days.

The gate of Guozijian was never opened to the children of Zhumen or non-official families before, but this time it is really different.

This makes countless students look forward to it. Although the number of places is small, there are.

And they have also heard about the successive preparations of government schools in various states. Although there are not many people recruited by government schools, government schools are eligible to be exempted from entering the Imperial College, and the Imperial College has the qualification to be admitted directly as an official without taking the imperial examination.

Of course all the students yearned for it, but they exhausted a group of ministers, as well as Xu Zhong.

Xu Zhong sighed deeply as he looked at the books, furnishings, and venues needed for the expansion of the Imperial Academy's enrollment, as well as the addition of academic officers and doctors.

Xia Qing saw Xu Zhong busy once, and felt very distressed, so he didn't want to go play with him.

The new female officials are trained and trained in the palace every day. The new female officials enter the palace the next day, and they are unified as the ninth-rank anecdote.

They still had three months to study the palace rules at the beginning, and they were also busy flying.

Looking at those people, Xia Qing didn't know why she felt old again. She turned her head to Qiao Huan and said, "Qiao Huan, do you think they are hope?"

Qiao Huan glanced up, then lowered her head and said, "Auntie, you should believe in yourself."

You yourself are hope.

Xia Qing looked at Shao Lian and Yuan Min standing in the front, they seemed to be in opposite directions.

As the daughter of a princess, Yuan Min didn't need to be taught by others, and her etiquette was not bad at all; then Shao Lian seemed to be clumsy, and when he did a good move, his face was already sweating.

Xia Qing smiled, thinking that the two of them were also very interesting.

Xia Qing looked at Xiang Cang in front of him with a hesitant look and said in surprise: "Aren't you bored now, have you lost your voice?"

Xiang Cang: ...take a deep breath.

He wanted to turn around and leave, but he glanced at Xia Qing and said hesitantly, "The miscellaneous family heard some rumors about Mr. Xu."

Xia Qing's eyes widened at once, and she stopped joking with Xiang Cang. She wanted to scream and glanced at the people around her, then lowered her head and said to Xiang Cang fiercely in a low voice: "Is it because he has peach blossom debts? Or go shopping in Flower Street and Liu Lane?" Already?!"

Xiang Cang: ...My aunt's imagination is as amazing as ever.

He took a deep breath, completely unaware of what he was worried about just now?
He obviously made a embarrassed expression, but in the end Aunt Xia could only think about some romantic affairs. Obviously, she didn't think that anything could embarrass Master Xu, so why should he worry about it.

So he said directly: "Someone is instigating among the students who have failed the rankings, saying that even a servant of Mr. Xu can be recruited to be an official, but those who have studied hard for more than ten years can only be named as grandsons. Now many students have begun to criticize Mr. Xu Your Majesty is bewitched, and there is news that the Imperial College Examination is also organized by Master Xu, and many students are extremely emotional."

Xiang Cang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xia Qing after speaking, and nodded with satisfaction: "Eunuch Xu is still very clean, very good, very virtuous."

Fude?What the hell is that?

Feeling helpless, Xiang Cang had informed him of the news, so he bowed to leave.

Xia Qing frowned and gritted his teeth as he watched Xiang Cang's back leave.

These people are also very tasteless, they can only use these things to talk about things, and they can only use shady methods when they are vicious.

Xu Zhong was also thinking about this matter. After all, it had been widely circulated, and some students who claimed to be celebrities even wrote poems attacking the emperor, saying that they were not afraid of power and did not want to join forces with others.

Even the reputation of the Guozijian has deteriorated a lot, but it doesn't affect some people who have already secretly started preparing for the exam.

Scolding is scolding, they also want to take advantage of the benefits.

The emperor raised his eyes to look at Xu Zhong who was standing upright with his head bowed, then lowered his head and said indifferently: "There are more and more rumors about you in Jingzhong, how are you going to deal with it?"

Xu Zhong bowed and saluted, but his voice was very calm: "I am ashamed of this humble minister, and it has affected Your Majesty's wisdom."

The emperor waved his hands indifferently, and snorted coldly: "Is it possible for them to slander my achievements if they want to? But you should be more careful about your own reputation."

After speaking, he finally raised his eyes from the notebook on the case, and looked at Xu Zhong in front of him: "I don't need an official who is hated by the people, do you understand?"

Xu Zhong lowered his eyelids, and said in a cold and calm voice: "I understand."

Xu Zhong, who came out of Qinzheng Hall, raised his eyes and looked at the sky. It was vast and boundless, and the vast sea of ​​clouds stretched over the ends of the mountains and ridges without end.

An open scene always brightens one's heart, and Xu Zhong's mood at the moment is not too bad. Even though he is now stigmatized, fame and fortune are not as important to him as Xia Qing, or as important as all the people in the world. He is devoting himself to this kind of thing Always feel a little regretful.

He sighed softly and walked back to the place on duty.

Xu Zhong's temporary ignorance didn't make the matter better. He was even blocked by people when he went home in a carriage. A student who claimed to be from Jiangzhou scolded him for being shameless and only knowing how to flatter him.

There was even a group of passers-by gathered beside the carriage, including ordinary people and scholars, and even when the student finished speaking, there were applause and applause from around.

Anping blushed outside the carriage, his eyes seemed to be full of tears, he yelled loudly, his voice was trembling, and his momentum was two points weaker: "You people are talking nonsense, our master has to get up every day at Yinshi In the office, you often have to light the lamp until late at night, but you people only know how to talk nonsense and slander our master all day, really, really really hateful."

The student ignored his words, and directed at the people in the carriage arrogantly and contemptuously: "Master Xu, why don't you dare to come out and discuss with this subordinate, is it because you are afraid?"

The surroundings immediately remembered the sound of watching the excitement.

"That's right, Mr. Xu came out and made it clear."

"Xu Zhong, what kind of hero is hiding inside, come out."

"Could it be that the kid is afraid, a servant, not even a man, and even an official, so I can do it hahahahahaha."

I don't know which sentence touched everyone's nerves, and everyone burst into laughter.

Anping blushed angrily and had a thick neck, and kept yelling: "Shut up, shut up."

But no one listened, and everyone laughed lightly.

Anping wanted to say something more, but Xu Zhong's voice in the car was calm: "Anping, go home."

Anping looked at the people in front of him and hesitated for a while, what should he do?
The people around gradually calmed down with Xu Zhong's voice. Xu Zhong was not someone like Xia Qing who was determined to go back, but he was also not a weak and bully person. After all, before Xia Qing, Xu Zhong could It is also a famous evil god in the palace.

He felt Anping's hesitation, and there was a slight smile in his voice: "What are you afraid of, a white body blocking court officials in the street, lawless, just bump into it."

The people around were stunned, and that person wanted to speak again. Anping, who obeyed unconditionally, had already closed his eyes and whipped his horsewhip hard. people.

The man had no choice but to swallow his words back, and quickly turned to avoid it. He wanted fame, not such a "good reputation".

The carriage passed without hindrance, giving way everywhere it went, unimpeded.

The stunned people could only watch the carriage drive away, speechless for a long time.

Suddenly, a street slut who came from nowhere, often whistled, and a few street sluts next to him would make a noise together, and wanton laughter hit everyone's faces, most of them were ashamed.

This scene is probably extremely interesting, and it really echoes that sentence, every time righteousness slaughters more dogs.
