The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 171

How could the subordinate official kneeling on the ground have ever seen such a big battle in front of him? He said timidly: "Actually, the villain doesn't know who it is. How can he show his identity by doing such a thing? But the villain is also afraid that after the incident After being silenced, I followed that person after receiving the money, and found that he had entered the back door of Xu Ge's old mansion."

Hearing about Xu Fu, Qin Suqian's face suddenly changed.

Jiang Nian glanced at her, and said lightly, "The beauty of the peach is shining brightly."

Qin Suqian's face became even uglier, "Your Majesty..."

Although this verse is a familiar verse in the "Book of Songs", it has a special situation and special meaning for her. Besides, on this occasion, Jiang Nian suddenly read out such a line, which shows that he knows about her and Xu Zhi. .

how is this possible!How many years ago, and so secretive.

This young man is only in his weak years, how could he have such a clear insight into the opportunity.

Even at this moment, his face is as gentle as jade under the light of the torches around him, but his scheming methods are really frightening.

But... Qin Suqian's eyes darkened, "Your Highness, in this situation, it's probably inappropriate to recite this poem! Besides, Your Majesty is still nearby?"

At this time, Ning Yuezhao saw that Jiang Nian was approaching step by step, and she had the chance to win, and her nervousness disappeared. Facing Qin Suqian's obvious provocative words, she just smiled lightly, "I think it's quite appropriate. Qin Shangshu is twenty-eight this year. Come on, 11 years ago was about the same age as me, if there was a gentleman like the emperor's husband who recited such a poem, I would also sigh, "The son returns home, it is suitable for his family."

Hearing what Ning Yuezhao said, Qin Suqian was sure that the husband and wife must have known the conversation he had with Xu Zhi after the Qushui banquet that day. It turned out that they had already been eyeing him...

Seeing that Qin Suqian was no longer as strong as before, Jiang Nian clapped his hands, and appeared like a well-mingled ghost, and presented a scroll respectfully.

"This is the list of women's Jinshi Kegongshi submitted by the Ministry of Rites today. It was supposed to be announced to the world tomorrow, but I found out that the Huiyuan of this year's Chunwei was only the last female candidate in the capital during the Qiuwei, and Jieyuan actually The name fell to Sun Shan. Gu felt strange. Just as he was about to send someone to the Ministry of Rites to inquire about the reason, he was discovered by the guards of the Imperial Army that someone intended to set fire to the original volume of Chunwei. Today Gu will be in front of many students to see if this Huiyuan is worthy of its name !"

Everyone looked at the scroll in Jiang Nian's hand in surprise. According to the emperor's intention, the scroll was going to be checked in public, but——

"All the emperors know that Xie Yuan was the companion of His Majesty in the autumn of last year in Jingji, and also a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion in the current dynasty. The daughter of the Taifu, the royal family is really hypocritical. !"

Looking at the situation in front of her, the students were agitated, and Qin Suqian regained a bit of indifference. Even if they knew about her and Xu Zhi's affairs, so what, at most she could say that she didn't love a married man, but a man Three wives and four concubines are normal things, so I don't believe she can be killed just because of this!
After making up his mind, Qin Suqian looked at Ning Yuezhao with some distress, "Your Majesty, when I submitted the list today, I advised you that Qiu Wei's good grades do not mean that Chun Wei will definitely win the championship, after all, Chun Wei is facing students from all over the country. I know that Your Majesty and Miss Yan have a very close relationship, but you can't be selfish because of this!"

Ning Yuezhao looked at Qin Suqian fiercely. In the past, she really underestimated this man's ability to open his eyes and tell lies, and with a few words, he provoked the hostility of the surrounding students again.

"Whether it is for selfishness or seeking justice, it will be known to the world when the original volume is released." Facing the increasingly excited students around him, Jiang Nian seemed to have never heard of it, but the corners of his lips slightly curled up, "Take the women's Jinshi Division Let's take a look at the top three papers of Chunwei."

The servant of the Ministry of Rites said in horror: "Your Highness, no! As usual, before the list of tributes is announced, the test papers cannot be circulated outside!"

Jiang Nian waved his hand, and his tone was unquestionable, "Follow the power in a hurry, and don't stick to these deadly principles."

The onlookers naturally hoped that the list would be announced earlier, and they also wanted to see whether the strategies of those on the list were really exquisite and superior to others.So instead of shouting about injustice, they quietly waited for the test papers to be released.

But at this moment, Lu Ji, who had been silent all this time, came out and knelt down, "Your Highness, please wait a moment."

Jiang Nian looked at him, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why?"

Based on his current friendship with Lu Ji, he naturally knew that Lu Ji would not stop him for no reason.

Lu Ji glanced at the people around him, and said calmly: "I have a request, I hope His Highness will agree."

"Say."

"Chen and Ms. Yan are acquainted with each other, and I also came from the imperial examination. After Chunwei, Ms. Yan discussed the policy theory she wrote with Weichen. Weichen felt that it was unreasonable for her article to fail the ranking, so I wanted to write it again. Before His Royal Highness opened the original scroll, he silently expressed Miss Yan's strategy."

Ning Yuezhao took a deep look at Lu Ji, and she finally knew why Lu Ji insisted on coming with her, perhaps she had already made up her mind to help her.

He and Qingchi met not long ago, and there was a gap between him and his Lu family before, and now he actually stepped forward to help, this kind of heart is really rare.

Although Jiang Nian didn't know what happened when Ning Yuezhao and Lu Ji went to Yan Mansion just now, but he trusted Lu Ji, since he dared to bring it up, it should be what they discovered before.

He immediately smiled and nodded, "Come here, take a pen and paper and give it to Master Lu."

Immediately, someone moved tables and chairs, put pens and paper on them, and Lu Ji wrote pens and inks under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Ever since Lu Ji acted as governor of Shuntian Prefecture temporarily, he has been conscientious. He often personally leads the government servants to patrol the imperial capital. Whenever the people have grievances, he will never shirk.

Previously, Han Xiao's case had allowed him to accumulate an excellent reputation among the people in the imperial capital. If someone else came forward, everyone might be dissatisfied, but when Lu Ji came forward, no one said no.

Lu Ji sat upright, he asked himself that he was not a person with a long-term memory, but maybe the facts of today were too urgent, or maybe Qingchi's article was amazing enough, he was able to silently write those words almost without thinking. out.

All the people present held their breath and stared at the young man who was writing the article quietly.

After a while, and after a long time, Lu Ji finally put down his pen and let out a long breath.

Jiang Nian motioned to the Minister of Rites, "Go, read it out."

Hearing this, the servant of the Ministry of Rites scrambled to his feet, walked to the side of Lu Ji, trembling slightly, picked up the paper that was not completely dry, coughed lightly, and began to recite, "On the outside, the inside is light, the outside is light." Internal emphasis, everyone has their own gains and losses. The world's troubles are impermanent, and those who are good at planning the country must judge the time and measure the situation, and follow the trend of the world's general trend..."

The voice of the Minister of Rites was a little unstable at first, but gradually became better.Those students who were originally aggrieved, after hearing this article, gradually calmed down their grievances, then became astonished, and finally completely immersed in this amazing and brilliant theory.

"A gentleman looks at the ancient times for the country, tests the current world, participates in human affairs, observes the principles of ups and downs, and judges the appropriateness of power. Going and going are orderly, and there are changes from time to time. Therefore, the time is long and the country is safe."

Finally, the long article is finished.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, only the sound of the wind blowing the clothes and the crackling of the torches could be heard.

Jiang Nian sighed softly, breaking the silence.

"Take out the top three test papers."

The minister of the Ministry of Rites did not dare to say any rules at the moment, he put down the paper and asked someone to fetch the key and open the box.

Each paper was numbered. The Minister of Rites checked the test numbers of the top three, took out the original papers one by one, and held them in front of Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian didn't answer, but said flatly, "Go on."

The servant of the Ministry of Rites just finished reading such a long article, and his mouth was dry after reading it for a long time. Now, facing the students who were staring at him, he didn't dare to ask for a drink of water and rest, so he could only bite the bullet and unfold the scroll. When it jumped into his eyes, he was stunned.

"Your Highness..." The servant of the Ministry of Rites looked up at Jiang Nian, and raised the scroll in his hand, "This scroll is exactly the same as what Master Lu just silently wrote!"

Jiang Nian didn't expect such a result, he took the scroll in some surprise, and took a closer look, "It's really the same content."

When Jiang Nian unfolded the scroll, Ning Yuezhao also read the content on it. Although she couldn't remember it completely like Lu Ji, she still had a general impression. After reading it, she said coldly: "It's not just the content. Same, even the handwriting is the same as Qingchi!"

After she finished speaking, she gestured to the imperial guards, and someone immediately took the scroll, unfolded it, and walked slowly in front of the spectators, so that everyone could see the contents clearly.

"It's really the same!"

"No, didn't you say that Huiyuan and Qiuwei Xieyuan of the Women's Scholars Section Chunwei are not the same person this time? How come the articles are exactly the same?"

"Your Majesty said just now that not only the content is the same, but the handwriting is also the same."

"We haven't seen the handwriting of the daughter of the Taifu. How can we know if His Majesty deliberately insisted that other people's papers belong to the daughter of the Taifu in order to protect his close friend? After all, that girl came from a small family. Woolen cloth!"

"Yes, if Miss Yan is so talented, how could she write the test number to others?"

Facing the doubts from the crowd, Ning Yuezhao already had some calculations in her heart after seeing the real answer sheet of Qingchi, and she said softly, "Bring the test number booklet."

At this moment, she has noticed that although the handwriting of the so-called Qingchi paper that Qin Suqian showed her earlier is almost unreal, but after a closer look, it is indeed different in some small details, and the model is in the There must be pauses and hesitation when ink is falling, which is not as straightforward and smooth as Qingchi.

The Minister of Rites hurriedly presented the brochure respectfully, "Your Majesty, Miss Yan is number 210, and Miss Liu is number 320."

The test numbers were very close, so Ning Yuezhao flipped through it a bit, then returned the booklet to him, "Then bring the paper number 210."

The servant of the Ministry of Rites went to look for the paper as he said, and after opening it, he was speechless again.

"Your Majesty... the handwriting on this paper is really exactly the same as the previous one!"
