"In the Shuntian Township Examination, there are many Chinese-style students, and there are many discussions about it, which is very different from the past. The examination is a national ceremony, and it should be strictly guarded. Yushi Luyou's questions are commendable." The emperor issued an edict, and immediately passed the decree, "With Jiuqing Zhan Shi and Ke Dao together, E Yangxu and others will be severely punished"

After more than ten days, Jiuqing reconsidered and planned to dismiss both the chief examiner and the deputy examiner of the rural examination and go to jail, and the punishment will not be discussed until after the reexamination.

Li Jinghuan intends to visit E Yangxu again, but because of the emperor's previous attitude, he decided to avoid suspicion after much thought. He has been comforting himself, and now the teacher is only in prison, and there is no punishment. No result is the best result. .

The re-examination has already started, and Li Jinghuan wants to wait for his father to finish reading the paper, and he will say something kindly, not only to leave no trace, but also to help E Yangxu get rid of the unfortunate fate in the book.

However, with the lessons learned by E Yangxu before, the ministers were also more cautious. This time they checked the papers and asked the emperor everywhere.Li Jinghuan asked casually from the sidelines, what are the difficulties and concerns, my lords?

After hearing what he said, the emperor flipped through the test papers a little, and glanced at the ministers who were invigilating the examination papers. A sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You come to ask me what I mean, so what do I want you to do? If you can't do something, then do it as soon as possible." Take off your official uniform."

Several ministers knelt down in fright.

The emperor looked at them tremblingly, and sneered in his heart. None of these courtiers dared to speak out, and they were afraid of following in E Yangxu's footsteps. There was really none of them available.

"Dali Siqing, how is E Yangxu doing now?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Dali Siqing hurriedly raised her head, and said in a trembling voice, "Master Eyangxu, he, he... committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine."

"What?" The emperor stood up awkwardly and looked at him in shock. He obviously hadn't decided on a punishment yet, "When did it happen?"

"This..." Dali Temple Minister stammered, "It was, three days ago."

"Bold!" The emperor threw all the examination papers on him heavily, "Why didn't you report such a big matter earlier?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Dali Temple Minister ignored his cold sweat and kowtowed, "I just, I just think that I can handle this matter by myself, so I don't need to bother the Emperor."

"Self-handling?" The emperor looked at his courtiers with a cold arc, "Then I want to hear, how did you handle it yourself?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Eyang Xu has already been buried. As for the deputy examiner, because the examinee was angered, in order to appease public grievances, the ministers have already exiled him." Dali Temple Secretary gritted his teeth and hurriedly recruited.

"What!" The emperor's eyes widened suddenly, looking at the courtiers below him.

In addition to Dali Siqing, the other ministers who made the decision also rushed forward, knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Listening to the words of the ministers, Li Jinghuan suddenly felt extremely cold all over his body, and at the same time, infinite remorse gushed out.He was wrong, why didn't he go to see Lord Eyangxu?

It's all because he is too cautious, cautious and thoughtful, afraid of falling out of favor, so he knows what will happen, but he still takes luck and thinks more about his own interests!

Regardless of Li Jinghuan's thoughts, the emperor was already tired of the ministers begging for mercy, and only sighed: "Did Lord E leave anything behind?"

Dali Temple Minister didn't dare to hide anything, and hastily handed over E Yangxu's last letter.

The emperor looked at his last pen, the font was still vigorous and powerful, but now the author has died, and there is a little sadness between the strokes of the pen, one is just because he entered the Kong family prison, and the other is death to show his ambition , he also deserved to die.

"Let's all go down!" The emperor sighed, and he was not in the mood to talk about government affairs with these courtiers at this moment. "Go back and make a final decision on the re-examination."

Li Jinghuan deliberately went to the end, and when he looked back, he saw his father staring at the teacher's last words, wondering what he was thinking.

The "Fair and Bright" plaque on the emperor's head is so conspicuous at this time.

As soon as Li Jinghuan came out of the palace, he was stopped by Li Jingyu.

Li Jingyu said with a sullen face, "Second brother, you still go to the father to intercede with Lord Eyangxu?"

"Yes," Li Jinghuan nodded calmly and admitted: "I thought about it for a long time after I went back, and I know that you are doing it for Gu's good, but E Yangxu is Gu's mentor, and if you let him go, Gu's conscience will not pass."

"Second brother!" Li Jingyu said anxiously: "Why are you so impulsive, are you crazy? What do you want to do? You want to meddle in the imperial examination, you..."

"Okay, you don't need to say any more," Li Jinghuan interrupted him with his head down, his voice was low, "Teacher, he has... already gone."

"what?!"

"It's too late for Gu to intercede." Li Jinghuan smiled wryly, so what if he interceded, so what if he didn't intercede?Can it change the fate of Master Eyang Xu?

"What happened?" Li Jingyu was a little anxious.

"Gu Jinben wants to talk to Father Huang and let him deal with it leniently, but, but Dali Siqing said that the teacher committed suicide in prison three days ago." Li Jinghuan whispered, with a choked voice in his voice.

"Second brother..." Li Jingyu was a little annoyed.After living for two lifetimes, he has always kept his identity in mind, and lived his life trembling and walking on thin ice. When the incident just happened, he chose to remain silent and advised his second brother not to intervene.He was afraid, he was afraid of his father's suspicion, he was afraid that the prince's second brother would be rejected by his father.

Li Jinghuan saw the guilt in his eyes, patted his shoulder, and fell silent.

Why doesn't he understand Li Jingyu, and he also understands that as a prince, many things cannot be controlled, and Li Jingyu is also for his own good.People say that the sky is noble, but they don't understand that as a prince, there are more taboos, and many things can't be interfered with, because if you are not careful, it is easier to lose your life.

"Don't think too much about it. Even if we intervene in this matter, I'm afraid there will be no better results. I don't blame you." Li Jinghuan comforted.

"Second brother, I'm fine." Li Jingyu was also very grateful for the prince's concern, and sighed: "I just feel sorry for Lord Eyangxu."

The two exchanged a few more simple greetings, and Li Jingyu said goodbye and left.

Back in the palace, Li Jinghuan dug out the homework he wrote a few years ago from the cabinet, stacks of rice paper, the handwriting on it gradually matured from immature, from scribbled and rough to neat and beautiful, stroke by stroke , all recorded his growth, and also carried the painstaking efforts of Mr. Eyang Xu.

What a pity, what a pity...

"Second brother! Second brother!" When Li Jinghuan was feeling sad for the spring and autumn, he heard a childish cry, and when he looked back, he saw the eighth prince Li Jingyan running towards him on short legs.

"Slow down, don't fall." Li Jinghuan hurried forward to help him, for fear that he would fall to the ground accidentally.

"Second brother," Li Jingyan finally ran up to Li Jinghuan, panting, "I heard that you are in a bad mood, let me take a look, don't be unhappy."

Li Jinghuan smiled lightly: "Who did you listen to?"

"Fourth brother, I met him on the road just now. His face was so ugly. I asked him what happened. He said that Lord Eyangxu passed away, and you were very sad."

"Second brother is fine, don't worry." Li Jinghuan wrapped his arms around his shoulders and said softly.

"Second brother," Li Jingyan pouted, "I know you're bluffing me, you all think I'm young and won't tell me anything, but it doesn't matter, I will always be by your side to comfort you."

Li Jinghuan chuckled lightly, this little brat is a big kid.However, with such an adjustment, Li Jinghuan's mood has indeed improved a lot. The matter has come to this point, no matter how regretful and troubled it is, it will not help. Maybe this is God's will. There may be no better result than this for such a thing.

"By the way," Li Jinghuan seemed to have thought of something, "I heard from the master that your arithmetic is not very good. Have you not worked hard recently?"

Speaking of this, Li Jingyan immediately lowered his face, with a displeased expression on his face, "Who said that, I'm serious, but I just don't know what's going on, so I'm not right."

"It doesn't matter," Li Jinghuan comforted him, "You are still young, you can take your time, don't worry, there is something that the second brother who doesn't know can teach you."

Recalling his elementary school days, Lee Kyung-hwan expressed that he could understand. It’s normal for children to have poor comprehension ability. Otherwise, why would teachers and parents be needed? Modern children still have to go home and ask their parents to help them with their homework, not to mention the ancient ones. What about the prince?

Li Jingyan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "Really?"

Li Jinghuan nodded, "Really."

Now that it has been agreed, it will naturally be carried out.Li Jinghuan took out a pen and paper, ready to teach his stupid brother a lesson.Anyway, he also graduated with a master's degree, so it's more than enough to teach elementary school mathematics.

However, after an hour, he regretted it. He deeply felt the feelings of those parents who suffered from myocardial infarction because of teaching their children to do their homework. It's really f*cking stuffy!

"Second Brother," Li Jingyan raised his head and looked at him pitifully with big watery eyes, "Do you think I'm too stupid?"

Li Jinghuan took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, "No."

As a child, the comprehension ability is almost normal...

The next day, the emperor issued a decree to the scholar, saying: "Looking at the papers for the re-examination yesterday, I am sincerely inadmissible in this provincial examination. The ministers who sent invigilators to review the papers are also very cowardly. The ministers did not propose a topic to start the performance, but forced me to make a proposition, which is also called He has only learned a little, and his examination papers have repeatedly asked me to determine its pros and cons. I refuse to do so, but I still ask all my ministers to compare them. All my ministers are people with a background in art making, but there are only a few volumes, so I can’t compare them? As for all things, the only time is suitable for the ear. Although the son of the clan minister, how can he be partial to favoritism. What are the ministers afraid of?"

Li Jinghuan and Li Jingyu looked at each other when they heard the father's will, and shrugged clearly. They both understood that the father was holding his breath.

So far, the rural examination has ended.
