Ji Ling glanced at Xiao Jingzhe and continued to read the policy questions.

The emperor didn't care, and the servants of the Ministry of Rites didn't dare to ask.After all, Mr. Chu also has an identity as the Taiwei's staff, he represents the Taiwei, and it should be the Taiwei who arranged for the emperor to monitor the emperor.Wei Taiwei's status is now in full swing, and they will be extremely grateful if they don't overturn the world, isn't it just that his subordinates sit on the dragon chair?Wearing dragon robes, they can turn a blind eye.

After the policy discussion was over, it was a written test, and several ministers of rites stayed in the main hall to invigilate the test. Ji Ling got up and walked to the study on the side of the Xuanzheng Hall, Xiao Jingzhe followed closely behind him.

"You stay here and take care of sending and receiving the test papers," Ji Ling said.

"Yes." Xiao Jingzhe said.

In the past, he won the first prize in the gold list and had a great reputation. In an instant, he became a eunuch, responsible for sending and receiving the test papers of candidates of the same class.

Isn't this an obvious humiliation?

Xiao Jingzhe silently took the test paper handed over by Eunuch Xu, and walked slowly down the stage. His steps were normal, no different from ordinary people, but he didn't know that his heart had already burst into tears due to the double injury both physically and mentally.

"Isn't this the leader of the gold list, Mr. Chu? How did you become Mr. Chu?" asked the examinee at the front.

Xiao Jingzhe put the test paper on the desk in front of him and said, "Who are you?"

"Second on the gold list, Li Tong, son of Minister of Industry."

It turned out to be the examinee who made things difficult for him in the Tribute Academy. Before he settled the score with him, he sent it to his door himself.

Xiao Jingzhe said casually: "You are defeated."

"you……"

"What are you? If you speak rudely to my father-in-law again, your test paper will be accepted."

Li Tong whispered: "You are just a eunuch with the lowest status, who is not even counted as a human being. Take it and give it a try."

"Even if I'm an eunuch, I'm more powerful than you." Xiao Jingzhe reached for the test paper on the desk in front of Li Tong, and Li Tong immediately stretched out his hands to press the test paper.

"I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

If you don't write the test paper, you will definitely fail the palace test, and then you won't get a good official position. If you want to take the palace test again, you have to take the general test again. He can't take the test for three days and three nights in a cramped room where he can't stretch his legs. I don't want to go through that pain again.

"Coward." Xiao Jingzhe sneered.

How could such an old, treacherous and cunning person like Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry raise such an angry youth?

Fortunately, he learned his father's advantage of actively admitting his mistakes, otherwise he would have been beaten by someone with his personality.

Xiao Jingzhe continued to hand out the test papers, and after handing out, he went to the study on the side of the Xuanzheng Hall.

"Eunuch Chu wait a minute, you can't leave before the test papers are collected," Eunuch Xu said.

"Okay." Xiao Jingzhe said.

Deception is too much!

Sitting on the dragon chair, Xiao Jingzhe randomly picked up a bunch of memorials to pass the time.

The more I looked at it, the more angry I became, the memorial was all about the imperial examination, and some of them even scolded him for giving up the imperial examination.

He disdains being an official!

With his god-like reputation now, he can command the soldiers and the people of the world just by his face, why can't he think about becoming an official?

Is it trying to get up before five o'clock in the morning, or is it trying to understand and handle endless official business in classical Chinese?

Xiao Jingzhe weighed the thickness of these few memorials scolding him, and they were very good, with a lot of words.

He picked up a vermilion pen to review: copy this memorial eight thousand times, hand it in before the new year, and find someone to execute it for the author.

After writing this paragraph on each memorial, he picked up the seal that Ji Ling hadn't taken away in time, dipped it in the inkpad, and stamped the conclusion.

There were only five policy questions on the test paper, and the time limit was one hour. After Xiao Jingzhe finished reviewing the memorial, it was almost time to close the paper.

He endured the injury to his buttocks, collected the test papers quite naturally, and then sent the test papers to the small study in the side hall.

Several officials from the Ministry of Rituals also came to the small study to review the test papers with the emperor.

After everyone arrived, Ji Ling didn't open the test paper first, but took out an imperial decree, handed it to Xiao Jingzhe, and said, "The Taiwei has sent an order. From now on, you will be abolished as the Taiwei's staff."

Captain?

Isn't he the Taiwei?He is very clear that he did not write this edict.

Xiao Jingzhe knelt down to receive the imperial decree, and said, "This servant accepts the decree."

Xiao Jingzhe stood up and opened the imperial decree. The handwriting on it was exactly the same as the original owner's handwriting, with the same style and charm. Only Chu Mu could imitate it so hard to tell the truth from the fake.

Therefore, Ji Ling had already controlled Chu Mu. He wanted Chu Mu to take over the position of Taiwei temporarily, and then completely eliminated his connection with the Taiwei's camp through Chu Mu's hand, and finally took back the power.

But at this time, Chu Mu had too much power, even if he was a fake, Ji Ling couldn't deal with it.

So Ji Ling needed him, the real captain, to live to check and balance the fake captain.

It turned out that Ji Ling spared his life not because he didn't want him to die, but because he couldn't die.

As for the concern for him yesterday, it was all played by Ji Ling. The purpose was to dispel his guard and let him do something against the public in public, so that he could take the opportunity to abolish his position as the Taiwei's staff, and completely eliminate his relationship with the Taiwei. Links between camps.

Why, as long as he is obedient, the grievances between them will be wiped out after two months?

It's all expedient, with very little authenticity.

Two months is enough for Ji Ling to truly control the world.

After Xiao Jingzhe figured this out, a shocking wave broke out in his calm heart—extreme excitement and relief.

Don't look at him now being supported by the people of the world, but he is actually an enemy of the people of the world.

Because Ji Ling was going to execute him a few days ago, the people all over the world thought that he had lost power, the emperor succeeded in seizing power, and the next step was to abolish the tax exemption law.

In order to maintain the tax exemption law, the people of the world hope that he will replace the emperor and become the emperor.

But Ji Ling has the aura of the protagonist, which is a buff that can make him come back in a desperate situation. No matter how great the advantage is, he can't take Ji Ling's throne.

In this way, he is unwilling to do things according to the ideas of the people of the world, and he is making an enemy of the people of the world.

Next, there is a great possibility that one of his subordinates will see what his people want, and for the sake of the illusory merit of following the dragon, he will hold high the banner of proclaiming him emperor, mobilizing the people of the world and his army to rebel.

If he prevents the objection, that subordinate will think that he has an unspeakable secret for the sake of his reputation and for his father...

In order to curry favor with him, in order to increase his rank and rank, that subordinate will bear the charge of rebellion for him, and try his best to make him enthroned as emperor without doing anything.

At that time, the plot will return to the right track, just like in the novel, the Taiwei launched a war, and Ji Ling was forced to fight. The battle line stretched from the capital to the border, spanning a large area of ​​territory. It lasted for a year, and tens of millions of people were sacrificed. many.

The matter must not be allowed to develop to this point, but now the development of the matter has long been out of his control. Even if he tried his best at this time, he could only watch the plot gradually approaching the original book.

Mountain darkly, vista.

Unexpectedly, Ji Ling took control of Chu Mu, took over the power in his hands, and also took over this seemingly peaceful world, but in fact it was in danger.

And he completely lost contact with the Taiwei camp.

It was all up to Ji Ling to prevent the war from happening, and it was none of his business.

After unloading such a big burden, Xiao Jingzhe's smile became brighter and brighter.

The ministers of the Ministry of Rites, who were reviewing the test papers, were stunned. Why was Mr. Chu so excited when they were abolished from their official positions?

Ji Ling was even more confused. It had been a long time since I saw Captain Xiao smiling so brightly, but he was robbing Captain Xiao of his rights, leaving him helpless, and punishing him. Shouldn't he be angry? ?

After reviewing the test papers, Ji Ling announced the results in class, and the palace test was over.

Xiao Jingzhe followed Ji Ling back to Weiyang Palace and served Ji Ling for lunch. After the meal, Ji Ling called Xiao Jingzhe to the study, took out the memorials that Xiao Jingzhe had reviewed in the morning, and said, "You Can you be found guilty?"

Xiao Jingzhe said: "You used my name to seize the power in my hands today. I just used your name to punish some disobedient officials for copying the memorial. very kind."

He praised himself for his kindness, Ji Ling had only seen Taiwei Xiao do this.

Looking around in this world, Taiwei Xiao is the one who kills the most in his hands, where does he have the face to say that he is kind?

"Then I will fulfill your kindness." Ji Ling said, "The eunuchs in charge of sweeping the courtyard in Weiyang Palace are resting today, you go and do all their work."

"I'm injured?"

"Thirty boards."

"I'll go right away." Xiao Jingzhe quickly left the study.

Being on the board was too painful to make fun of my body.

In March, it was the day when the catkins were flying. Seeing the flying white, Xiao Jingzhe used to think it was romantic, but from the moment he took the broom from the eunuch, he felt it was an immeasurable pain.

Because Weiyang Palace is very large, the courtyard inside is not called a courtyard at all, and this area can be called a park.There are about twenty willow trees that make catkins, all of them are thick and thick, and the trees are more than a hundred years old.

He did the work of a dozen people alone, and the willow trees made catkins faster than he could clean it. Even after three days and three nights, he could not clean the courtyard.

Xiao Jingzhe waved the broom slowly and unrepentantly, and after sweeping a piece, bent down to scoop up some water and splashed it on the ground.

It hurts, very painful, but I can only bear it.

He has lost all his power, and now he lives by watching Ji Ling wink.

Ji Ling deliberately wanted to torture him, so he could only endure it, and he could only hope that Ji Ling would let him go in a better mood.

Three hours later, the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped the ground, and Xiao Jingzhe did not finish sweeping as expected. Eunuch Xu walked up to Xiao Jingzhe and said, "Hurry up and serve the emperor for dinner."

"Yes."

Finally able to stop, Xiao Jingzhe immediately threw down the broom and walked quickly into Weiyang's palace without any abnormal steps.

Pain or something, just bear with it and get used to it.

Now even with a few more boards, he can still walk and work quite naturally.

Xiao Jingzhe skillfully picked up the silver needle and tried it on each dish, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks, picked some from each dish, ate it quickly, and said, "It's not poisonous."

He picked up a pair of clean chopsticks and a clean bowl, stuffed some of Ji Ling's favorite meals into them, placed them lightly in front of him, and said, "Please, Your Majesty."

"Yes." Ji Ling said.

Xiao Taiwei's skill in serving people really surprised him, and he couldn't make mistakes.

Xiao Jingzhe stood quietly by the side, waiting for Ji Ling's order.

He suddenly felt that serving Ji Ling's meals was a blessing.

Because he had to do too much work, he missed the eunuch's meal time again and again, and he had no companions in Weiyang Palace, and no one brought him food, and he could only eat when he was testing the dishes for Ji Ling to see if they were poisonous.

After eating, Ji Ling ordered Xiao Jingzhe to wash his feet.

Xiao Jingzhe brought a basin of foot-washing water at a moderate temperature, half-kneeled on the ground, lifted Ji Ling's feet, took off her shoes and socks, put them in the basin, and stretched out her hands to massage them.

But when he touched the sole of Ji Ling's foot, Ji Ling's foot suddenly trembled, and he quickly withdrew his foot, saying, "Back off."

"Yes." Xiao Jingzhe got up and stepped back.

Why did Ji Ling react so strongly just now? Could it be that the skin on the soles of his feet is sensitive and cannot be touched?
