Liu Yanzhi was surprised: "what are the exam questions for next spring? How is that possible? "

"Don't believe it, young master. The source of this question is absolutely reliable." It was a young man in dark blue.

"Where did you come from?" Liu Yanzhi thinks that this kind of thing is absolutely impossible. Daye's scientific examination system is very strict, so it is impossible for the examination questions to be leaked. What's more, the examination questions for next year's Spring Festival meeting have not been published yet. How can there be any?

"Don't ask where you came from. I'll show you two questions to see if they are unreliable."

Liu Yanzhi was interested: "good! The questions of the examination are not the same for ordinary people. "

The young man was busy leading Liu Yanzhi to the house. At this time, there were several people in the house. It seems that they are all waiting for the examination questions. Soon the shopkeeper of the study came out with a stack of paper in his hand and handed it to the young man: "give it to them."

"Which of you wants it. One or two silver will get one question. "

One or two silver was nothing to Liu Yanzhi, so he handed it to the young man. He didn't want to know the examination questions in advance, but he wanted to see what they were up to.

"Give me two questions first." Liu Yanzhi handed the young man two liang silver.

The young man took the silver and handed it to Liu Yanzhi: "here you are, young master. Your questions. " Then he said to the other person, "see, it's a good deal for you. What's more cost-effective than a few taels of silver to buy a future? When you think about the future, you will be able to become high-ranking officials in the Imperial Academy, that is to shine on your family

A few also gritted their teeth and took out the silver. After reading the question, I was surprised: "Oh, this question is very good! It seems to be true

Liu Yanzhi listened to what others said. He quickly unfolded the examination questions and looked at them. It turned out that they were not random things. They were of high standard. It's just that these two questions are familiar to me. I lowered my voice and said to Xia Guo, "I seem to have done these two questions."

Xia Guo must not be surprised at Liu Yanzhi's words. Liu Yanzhi was trained for a long time by his father, the number one champion of sanyuanji. It's very likely that he would encounter one or two similar problems.

In addition, those who didn't buy the questions paid out: "give me two questions."

When the young man saw that the time had come, he said, "if you want a whole set of test questions, it's not expensive."

Twenty Liang is a huge number for ordinary students. Generally, officials who have passed the local examination are subsidized in various places. Although they are subsidized, most of them still don't have much money. Twenty Liang may be their living expenses for half a year.

Do you want to buy it or not? Just like gambling, if you bet right, you will have a bright future. If you bet wrong, you will lose money.

Of course, there are also people like Liu Yanzhi who have good family conditions. A young man in a brocade robe took out 20 Liang to give the young man the whole set of examination questions. Everyone's eyes were on the man.

Master jinpao carefully read the title from front to back: "is it true? But some questions are shallower than those in the local examination. " Then he looked at the young man, "you said the source of this question is absolutely reliable, but where did it come from?"

"Liu Shangshu." The young man said with satisfaction, "I don't need to introduce Liu Shangshu. As you all know, he was the first champion of sanyuanji in more than 100 years of Daye Dynasty. Is this question still false

Liu Yanzhi was stunned: "do you mean Liu Huaqing, the Minister of the Ministry of officials? The question came out of his hands? "

"Of course. His son took part in the local examination this time and got the tenth place. Although he won, he failed to reach his ideal. It's a question for the examination, so it's easy and difficult. "

When Liu Yanzhi heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "I said that the examination next spring will be conducted by the Ministry of rites. What does it have to do with the Minister of officials? This question is 100% false

After listening to Liu Yanzhi's words, all the people came back to their senses and said, "yes! The examination is made by the Ministry of rites. It certainly has nothing to do with the Minister of official affairs. I'm afraid this question is false. "

"You don't know. Lord Liu and the Minister of rites are the same scholars. Are they good friends? The Minister of culture and rites, Mr. Wu, is not as good as Mr. Liu. Therefore, the emperor specially mentioned to Mr. Wu about the joint examination in the spring of next year and asked Mr. Liu to participate in the drafting of the title. " Young people are busy explaining.

This may be true. Although Liu Huaqing was only a minister of the Ministry of officials, he had a great reputation in the court and was loved by the emperor. No matter big or small, the emperor likes to listen to his opinions and even let him participate.

"Is there such a thing? Since the emperor asked him to take part in the drafting of the test, how could Mr. Liu let it go himself? " Liu Yanzhi didn't believe it. His father hasn't been in court for half a month. He just went to court today, and he hasn't been in court yet. How could it be that he participated in the examination so quickly?

"I'll tell you the truth, gentlemen." The young man didn't expect to be pointed out, so he said, "this question was actually copied by someone who cleaned Mr. Liu's study. I'm not making money for your future. "

"You are right. For your sake, I won't ask you for twenty Liang. Don't treat us all as idiots. In fact, you directly said that there was a question from Liu Shangshu, and I would buy it. Don't say it's a question. If it's a big deal, Mr. Liu will be punished. " The master of royal guards, who bought the whole set of examination questions, spoke quickly, then turned around and left the room.

Liu Yanzhi couldn't help looking at the man. He was a little familiar, but he couldn't name him.

As soon as the man left, Liu Yanzhi and Xia Guo left together, and there were still people in the room who bought questions with silver.

As soon as the young master of royal guards went out, the servant around him asked, "young master, do you want someone to help you solve this question?"

"No. I'll do it myself. Hurry back to the house. Now it's time for my father to go down. " Cai Liang rushed back.

When Cai Liang returned to the prime minister's office, he sat down in his study and solved the questions. It wasn't long before Prime Minister Cai came back. He had high hopes for his son. Once back to the government, he went to the study to see his son. From a distance, he was very happy to see that he was studying hard.

He came into the room and asked lovingly, "excuse me, do you have any doubts about reading today?"

Hearing his voice, Cai Liang got up quickly and looked surprised: "I've seen your father, my father is going down?"

Prime Minister Cai nodded: "Well!" Eyes on the paper on his desk, a Leng, "this question is which gentleman help you out?"? Very good! "

"Back to my father, it was bought by liang'er in the street. It's said that it was written by Liu Shangshu, and the person who sold the test questions still had the title of the test questions for the Spring Festival next year." Cai Liang smiles.

"You believed it, so you bought it back?" Prime Minister Cai is not happy. His son should not be so confused.

Cai liangxiao: "of course I won't believe it, but I heard that it was made by Sanyuan and the number one, so I wanted to buy it. When you buy it back, it's really good. The person who sold it should not have lied. It's probably from Liu Shangshu. "

Hearing what his son said, Prime Minister Cai's eyes flashed: "OK, I'm sorry to solve the problem. There is something important to be a father

Cai Liang saluted again: "yes."

On another day when he went to court, Mr. Cai brought up the topic and talked with the emperor about the local examinations in this autumn: "in Jiangzhou this autumn, sun Yiheng's performance was particularly outstanding. Jiangzhou was the fiefdom of King Rui. Now the magistrate of Songxian County in Jiangzhou has been transferred to Jiangning to fill the post of chief secretary. The magistrate of Songxian County can be filled by sun Yiheng. "

"The prime minister is so careful that he has to worry about such trifles. I've already made arrangements for Songxian County Magistrate. Sun Yiheng and Gouzi are close friends. I'm afraid he is not suitable to be an official at this time when I learn that he is preparing for next spring's examination. " Liu Huaqing also noticed that sun Yiheng was a talented man.

"What Lord Liu said is true, but I'm not familiar with it. It's time to prepare for next year's joint examination. In order to select talents for the court, we can't neglect it. " Prime Minister Cai answered quickly.

The emperor nodded: "what Ai Qing said is true. You are in charge of Wu Aiqing's examination. "

The Minister of rites rushed out to take orders: "yes! Long live

Prime Minister Cai quickly stepped forward: "Lord Wu and Lord Liu are the same scholars, and Lord Liu is the first champion of sanyuanji in Daye's history. He might as well help Mr. Wu to make a contribution to the next year's meeting. "

Lord Wu saluted: "I can't wait for you. If Lord Liu is willing to help me, I will be very grateful. "

When the emperor saw that Mr. Wu said so, he was very busy with the prime minister and Mr. Wu, and he was willing to let Liu Huaqing check: "that's so good. Liu Aiqing will help Wu Aiqing to take charge of the next year's meeting."

Liu Huaqing is very busy every day. Now there is another thing that is none of his business. It's really painful. But since the emperor spoke, he can't refuse, so he has to promise: "yes, I will take the order."

When Mr. Cai heard this, he could not help raising a sinister smile. Liu Huaqing went down to the court to deal with the matter at hand, then went back to the house with a sad face. His brow was still locked when the family ate.

"Dad, are you in trouble?" Asked Liu Yanzhi.

Liu Huaqing looked at Liu Yanzhi: "words! Dad will take part in the examination next year, so from now on, I can't help you personally. You have to put your heart into it. If you have any questions, ask your second uncle or discuss with sun Yiheng. "

Liu Huaqing was surprised: "Dad, are you really responsible for the examination next year?"

Liu Huaqing nodded helplessly: "yes! It means the emperor. Originally, you didn't do well in the local examination. I want to urge you to do well in the next year's national examination. Now it's up to you. "

Xia Guo suddenly thought of the person who sold the test questions: "Dad, did you take the test questions you gave to Yan Zhi before?"

"What's this for?" Liu Huaqing felt a little strange.

"Dad, is it true?" Xia asked.

Liu Huaqing Leng Leng: "I don't remember, I don't think so! No one asked me for it. "

"Who is usually responsible for cleaning your study?" Xia Guo heard that Liu Huaqing was really in charge of the examination. He was really right by the young people in the study. A restless mood surged up.
