Song Menghua: At the beginning, ask to marry Sheng Minglan

"Me too……"

Sheng Changbai, Gu Tingye and others bowed their heads.

Zeng Gong was choked up, thinking why are you so slow, but it took so long to finish the three questions.

But of course this cannot be said, the blow is too great.

People with quick writing and thinking like him and Su Shi... are limited after all.

But Su Shi suddenly remembered something.

He looked at Qi Heng.

"I've been thinking about it since I finished the test paper."

"Why do they say you can't be the No. [-] Scholar?"

"Firstly, the decision of the final ranking is in the hands of the officials. Since the officials recognize your article, they will of course choose you as the champion."

"Secondly, even if they want to do something—"

"But after the test paper is sealed, it will be re-transcribed."

"The test papers reviewed by the examiners are not the original papers, let alone which test paper is yours."

"How... how did they do it?"

These words undoubtedly made people like Zeng Bu and Gu Tingye extremely ashamed.

How can there be such a big gap between people?

That's the palace test!

They just hate that time is tight!

But Qi Heng and Su Shi, one handed in the papers ahead of time, and the other still had time to think about these things in the examination room!

How much time do they have?

Why!

The distance suddenly widened.

Only Qi Heng, Su Shi and Zeng Gong were left to walk in the front side by side.

Zeng Gong also frowned.

"Zizhan's words are not without reason."

"Looking at it this way, it's either that Ouyang Xu is talking nonsense, or someone in Prince Yong's mansion is talking nonsense?"

Qi Heng really didn't know how to answer.

Not without words.

Like Su Shi’s two points: First, the final decision is in the hands of Zhao Zhen, but when all the examiners object, Zhao Zhen will go his own way?

According to his usual indecision, it's really hard to say.

Second, even if it is not the original paper, even if it is impossible to determine his examination paper, but as long as they really want to target him, I believe that those gangsters will find a way to prevent him from being the number one.

He can think of all these.

But I can't talk about it in detail with Su Shi and Zeng Gong.

It's not that they can't be trusted.

The key is useless.

They have not yet entered the court, and they have no foundation at all.

In addition, Qi Heng himself didn't want them to get involved, so he didn't say anything after that.

……

I have been walking forward for a while.

Seeing that there were carriages parked on both sides of the street, Su Shi, Zeng Gong and the group said goodbye one by one and left.

Gu Tingye did not leave.

He knew that Qi Heng must have reservations about Zeng Gong and his gang.

Now it was just the two of them, and he spoke bluntly.

"Do you know who might be behind it?"

Qi Heng nodded casually.

"Probably can guess some."

"Since Zhao Zong dared to say such words, they must be very confident."

"So I conclude that this is not a certain person, but a group of people, and even most of the court have reached a tacit agreement."

The reason is very simple.

They did not allow Qi Heng to become the number one scholar, it was bound to be against Zhao Zhen's will.

How can one person do it?

Gu Tingye frowned deeply.

"But why would they do it?"

"It stands to reason that you are close to Ouyang Xiu and the others."

"Whether it is the rectification of the Forbidden Army or the subsequent reform of the Forbidden Army, most of them are in favor."

"Why did you suddenly attack you?"

Qi Heng didn't think much about it.

During the imperial examination in Chongzheng Palace, he had thought about all these problems and basically figured them out.

"the reason is simple."

"They should have known that I used Han Qi to plot against the ruler of the world..."

"Want to give me a blow?"

"Or revenge?"

Gu Tingye was suddenly surprised.

But not surprised by Qi Heng and Xiao Qinyan's schemes.

Although he was busy reading when he was doing this, he didn't participate in it from the beginning to the end.

But Qi Heng also told him later.

He was just amazed—

"How...how could they know?"

"You didn't show up during the whole thing."

"Other than Xiao Qinyan, Zhang Fangping, Cai Xiang, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Mr. Sheng...there is no one else who knows about your involvement."

"Can't it be that they exposed you?"

Qi Heng shook his head decisively.

"Not them."

"After thinking about it, I can only be the Secretary of the Imperial City."

After a pause, seeing Gu Tingye stunned for a moment, he said angrily, "What are you thinking, of course I don't doubt Gu Qianfan."

"I'm talking about—"

"Gu Qianfan is not the only one in the Imperial City Division."

"There are others, as well as Si Zun and Lei Jing."

"So I can get the news I want from the Imperial City Division, so others...of course they can also get the news from the Imperial City Division."

Speaking of which.

Gu Tingye understood everything.

If someone gets the ins and outs of this incident from the Imperial City Division, the ins and outs.

I also know that Qi Heng dares to intervene in the battle of the court ministers...then they must not tolerate it.

Whether it's Han Qi, or Wen Yanbo, or even Fu Bi.

There are good reasons to give him this dismount...

Even if they fall and are no longer in the East Mansion, their foundation in the court is deeply rooted.

With their energy, Qi Heng missed the title of champion——

Not difficult.

In other words.

As soon as Qi Heng raised his foot, he was already standing on the opposite side of most of the hall before he stepped into the hall.

……

"Then what do we do?"

"Couldn't it just be caught without a fight?"

Gu Tingye knew Qi Heng well, and he knew that it was impossible for him to remain indifferent.

But put yourself in your shoes.

He considered it from Qi Heng's point of view, but he couldn't think of any solution at all.

Those are all the ministers of the court, the actual masters of the power of the Song Dynasty. With their small characters who have just obtained a Jinshi background, what can they use to compete?

Even if there are countless dignitaries behind him.

At least in this case, they were all useless.

Can't you just think about killing the imperial court because of the name of a number one scholar?
