I'm still so majestic

After taking carpe diem in time as the criterion, Yan Ji teased Xie Wenzhuo with more peace of mind.

But it just can't be teased.

So many times, Yan Ji learned from the pain, thought carefully, and felt that it was probably because he had never been in touch with Fengyue, and Xie Wenzhuo had quite a lot of knowledge in traveling around since he was a child. It's natural, if you want to tease him, you should practice a lot.

As for the training object, Xie Wenzhuo couldn't get enough of it, so naturally only Shao He was left.

Thus, Shao He stepped into the dire straits. He was teased by His Majesty smilingly on weekdays, and he already felt that His Majesty was really disturbed by his abruptness. In the end, he had to be frightened by the Taifu's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Life was really hard.

It was like this again today, being teased by Yan Ji with her peachy eyes, Shao He blushed and stepped back, feeling his ears were burning.Er Gouzi squatted on the side and looked at him, the envy and jealousy in his eyes were undisguised.

It also wants to be provoked by the owner to laugh and say love words in a low voice.

Action is worse than heartbeat, Er Gouzi stood up, and just about to run over, he saw a person standing beside the owner, with gentle eyes and calm eyes, wearing a black and silver-patterned robe, which matched the clothes of the king next door.

Yan Ji also discovered the matter of clothing after she understood Xie Wenzhuo's intentions.

He lowered his head to look at the black-bottomed gold-patterned robe he used to wear, then looked at Xie Wenzhuo's, and suddenly understood that when he changed into the robe for the first time in Xuanjing Palace and was seen by Xie Wenzhuo, the latter's eyes flickered And what about the joy of passing.

Thinking of this, he felt a little better, and raised his head: "Teacher came back earlier today than in the past."

Xie Wenzhuo stood by the side holding something covered with a black cloth in his hand. Hearing this, he hummed: "Mr. Yun is very knowledgeable. Sitting with him for a while will benefit a lot."

Yan Ji nodded, looked at the thing he held in his hand: "What is this?"

"When I came back, I passed by a stall selling flowers and plants. I thought it was very interesting, so I bought it." Xie Wenzhuo took off the black cloth, revealing a pompom-shaped grass underneath.

Yan Ji curiously poked it with his hand, and the pompom leaf shrank back shyly.

"...a mimosa?"

Xie Wenzhuo hummed, suddenly thought of something, turned around and took another pot: "This is a gift from the stall owner, so I brought it back together."

Yan Ji looked down and saw that it was also a pot of mimosa, subconsciously reached out and poked it, but there was no response.

Poke again, still motionless.

Yan Ji looked at Xie Wenzhuo with a surprised face.

He looked down and said, "This pot looks different."

Yan Ji agreed with a hum, took the pot from his hand, and raised his eyebrows: "Probably a bit thick-skinned." It's up to you.

Xie Wenzhuo just smiled, picked up the other pot, and followed him into the Xuanjing Hall.

These two pots of mimosa were finally placed on the window sill of the inner hall, and they were named shame and face respectively.

Yan Ji stood by the window and looked at them, deeply sighing in his heart.

Now even the plants are in pairs, which is really very annoying.

Xie Wenzhuo didn't come back for long, and then went out again.

The second half of every year is a busy period for the court, and there are many chores other than the imperial examination. He has indeed spent a lot less time in Xuanjing Hall recently.

Er Gouzi was delighted to hear this, and rubbed against Yan Ji when he had nothing to do.Yan Ji was also relaxed in his heart, and took it around every day, and when he came back, he would tease Shao He, and then smiled at his red face and shy bow.

Such days passed quickly, on August [-]th, after waking up from a siesta, Yan Ji received the paperwork from the servants below, opened it and read it, only to realize that it was time for the things that had been arranged before.

He immediately announced Fu Zhihuai and He Ji to enter the palace, and they were discussing in the imperial study room, and they waited until dusk to take over the affairs in hand, and dispersed in a hurry.

After Fu Zhihuai and He Ji left, Yan Ji and Xie Wenzhuo went out of the imperial study together, and walked slowly along the Qingshi Road towards Xuanjing Palace. Caged, quiet beauty.

As Yan Ji watched, the feeling of stealing half a day's leisure suddenly rose in his heart.After struggling for a hundred years, such a feeling was actually too strange to him. When he touched it suddenly, he closed his eyes and said, "Teacher, it's been a long time, and I haven't stopped to take a good look at flowers."

Xie Wenzhuo turned his head and looked at him quietly.

Yan Ji didn't speak any more, reached out and folded a branch of hibiscus, held it in his hand, stared at it for a while, and smiled: "After this incident, I'm afraid many things will become much clearer, and I don't want to continue acting anymore, maybe I don't need to be with you in the future." Now you're pretending, but there are many more things to pay attention to... Do you understand what I mean?"

Xie Wenzhuo understood what he meant and nodded.

Yan Ji glanced at him, and smiled slightly: "Okay, let's go back, I haven't seen Shao He much today, um, I miss him when he blushed and bowed his head."

Xie Wen burned his hands, narrowed his eyes slightly to meet his, and after a long time, suddenly revealed a gentle smile that was a bit ghostly.

So that day and night, Yan Ji was taught by Master Xie's precepts and deeds again, his face was red and his ears were red and his heart was absurd for half an hour. Finally, his ears became hot, and he buried his face in the quilt and gave up and spread his limbs.

Xie Wenzhuo looked at him and laughed softly, stretched out his hand to cover him with a quilt, turned off the lights and went out.Leaving Yanji alone on the couch, he heard his own heartbeat in the silent night, a little fast and a little heavy.

Yan Ji covered his eyes.

In the end it was completely planted.

……

Two days later, the imperial examination was getting closer and closer, and the preparations that the ministries should have made beforehand were about the same.

Luo Ming arranged everything and just waited for the imperial examination to come. Everyone in the court was very concerned about this matter. After all, the forces in the capital were deeply intertwined, and everything was changing rapidly. You must pay attention to it all the time so that you can stand firmer.

While waiting, candidates from all over the world entered Beijing, and the test papers were wax-sealed and put into the warehouse. Nothing went wrong all the time. Everyone also slowly slowed down their minds and waited quietly. They thought it would be another smooth year. On the seventh day, He Ji led Lie Yanying to inspect the inn as usual, and suddenly found the same letter in the rooms of more than ten candidates, in which ten policy questions were written, which were exactly the questions of this exam.

Leaking the topic is a big deal at any time.

As soon as this incident happened, the examinees were shocked, and then found out that the few people who were detected were all disciples of the aristocratic family. Rumors spread all over the place. The game has already been set.

How unfair.

Ten years of studying hard in the cold window, in order to know that once the world is named on the gold list, Guangzong Yaozu can show his ambitions.But now, more than 3000 hard work day and night will be annihilated in the power struggle, who can be reconciled?

This matter spread in all directions and eighteen states with great fanfare, and there was a lot of discussion from all over the place. The humble scholars were all chilled, and the articles of verbal criticism and writing were circulated everywhere overnight. In the end, Yun Qiuyuan, the landlord of Wangchu, who had been hiding from the world for many years, expressed it Post a document in the confusion, just write one sentence——

Don't ask about your background, you should be a great talent.

One of the legacy of Daqi ancestors.

Yun Qiuyuan has a very high reputation among the humble scholars. He was the emperor's teacher when he was not in seclusion in the past.As soon as he uttered his voice, the voices of poor families became louder and louder. Three days later, scholars from eighteen prefectures came to Beijing to take the exams and knelt outside the palace city.

One day, ten thousand people's books were sent to the case, and what was written on the top was the eight-character ancestor's legacy written by Yun Qiuyuan.

The emperor was furious, and broke the book in the Hall of Supreme Harmony: "Let me find out who is so bold, where will I put my face and my ancestors' legacy?!"

The Six Departments began to investigate as soon as this matter came out. Seeing the emperor's anger, Dali Temple Minister Lin Yin stepped forward and said, "Return to Your Majesty, this matter has been found out. The person who leaked the questions was the assistant officer who escorted the test papers into the warehouse. He had already hanged himself at that time, this person was born as an orphan, he had no relatives or reasons, and he couldn't find anything else for a while."

Yan Ji frowned, with an extremely cold expression: "Continue to investigate, could it be that he is really living alone... Now I don't want to hear anything else, I just want to know, now that things have come to this point, how will it end?"

The officials bowed their heads in silence, and soon saw that the emperor was about to get angry, so he dared to speak up. Afterwards, an argument was inevitable, and in the end, seeing that the emperor was about to lose his patience, and the officials were at a loss, Xie Wenzhuo stepped forward to speak. He said, "Your Majesty, now that the matter is well known to all parties, Wang Chu has spoken out. They already have concerns in their hearts. Therefore, if they just change the test questions, they will not be able to calm their dissatisfaction. There is only one way to solve it completely..."

The ministers looked at him eagerly.

Xie Wenzhuo raised his head: "In the past, the content of the Beijing Examination was biased towards essays and fine brushwork. Disciples from humble backgrounds were deficient in this. Therefore, there have been fewer and fewer people from humble backgrounds becoming officials over the years. However, the writing of essays cannot determine virtuousness. It is better to change the form of the examination. Now, let’s talk about current policy, and from the candidate’s native place, we can see how much this person really has in his heart.”

Yan Ji pondered for a moment: "I think what Taifu said is good, what do you think?"

The words are simple, but the content involved is very complicated.

On the surface, it seems that it is just to change the content of the exam, but in the end it is to pay more attention to the adaptability and foresight of the candidates. This point is more or less understood by the disciples of the poor family, but it is not good for most disciples of the aristocratic families.

They are used to being arty and elegant, and they can write a few articles. If we talk about flexibility and foresight, how can people who are used to smooth sailing since childhood understand these things.

All the officials plotted in their hearts, and soon came to the bottom.Su Mou's faction has always followed the emperor, Yan Ji nodded and they naturally had no objection, most of the neutral faction came from humble backgrounds, so they agreed, leaving only Yan Zhou's faction.

Naturally disagree.

One person stepped forward: "Your Majesty, this change in the system was not achieved in a day. I'm afraid it's not worthy to be accepted so suddenly. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

There was a second behind me.

The old fox Su Mo stood by the side with a smile, and after hearing what they said, he said, "Then tell me, besides doing this now, is there any other way to solve this matter in a short time and throw the court away?" All face has been recovered."

Silent.

Seeing their silence, Su Mou snorted and bowed: "Your Majesty, I think this is feasible. It can not only solve this matter to calm the dissatisfaction of the poor family, but also make the disciples of the poor family feel grateful to the court, which will be of great benefit in the future. "

Hearing what Su Mo said, everyone behind Yan Zhou looked anxious, but they didn't know how to refute, so they could only stand there and stare at him.

After such a stalemate for a long time, I heard the emperor above say: "...Since there is no other way, let's do as the Taifu said, but there is indeed something wrong with this matter suddenly, Taifu, if this matter is taken Leave it to you, maybe you can do it properly?"

Xie Wenzhuo's face was calm: "I should try my best."

"I will leave this matter to you. Whether it succeeds or not, you have to bear the consequences. You must think about it clearly."

Xie Wenzhuo nodded.

Yan Ji raised his head: "Then it's settled like this. If any of you have any objections, you can come to me. As long as you have a clear plan and are willing to bear all the consequences, I will go with you."

No one spoke.

This kind of silence was expected by Yan Ji, who waved his hand and turned down.Yan Zhouzhou sent everyone to watch him get up, until he left the hall, no one dared to take the risk and open up to take over the matter.

So the dust settled.
